What Cui Shao said was smooth and smooth, and he kicked the ball to Ye Mingsheng very smoothly. Everyone had different expressions after hearing his words... ·······
Among them, Gu Sansi had a flash of surprise. After he put Zhang Zhiwen on the candidate list, Cui Shao, the Minister of Household Affairs, also sent a memorial to Ye Mingsheng, expressing his support for Ma Runchuan's idea and thinking that Qi Lu's The investigation should come to an end!
Now that the new year has passed, spring plowing is coming soon. This is the top priority before the Yijing court. Failure to do well in spring plowing will affect the harvest. Food problems are no small matter, and a slight mistake can be a matter of life. !
Therefore, Cui Shao suggested that Ye Mingsheng should let Ma Runchuan, the chief envoy, gather people to focus on spring plowing and the development of Qilu's industry and agriculture!
Gu Sansi knew very well that Cui Shao had fulfilled the deal, so he originally thought that after Cui Shao asked him to nominate Zhang Zhiwen, he might insinuate a few words for Zhang Zhiwen at the meeting.
After all, Xiao Lingyu and Jin Zaicheng are in-laws, and Zhuang Shanhe is Li Jian's old subordinate. Xiao Lingyu and Li Jian have been busy working for the position of Chief Secretary of Youyan this time!
Zhang Zhiwen had no one to help him speak at the cabinet meeting. If Cui Shao didn't speak up, Zhang Zhiwen's chance of taking over was not great. Therefore, in Gu Sansi's expectation, Cui Shao would probably support Zhang Zhiwen... ·········
However, he did not expect that Cui Shao was still acting like he was not interested in the matter. This also made Gu Sansi a little confused, wondering what Cui Shao was doing!
Ye Mingsheng listened to Cui Shao's words and understood that Cui Shao was not prepared to take the position of Youyan Chief Minister. Fabio had any objections. He immediately pointed at Cui Shao and looked at Gu. Think twice!
Feeling Ye Mingsheng's gaze, Gu Sansi, who was thinking about Cui Shao's intentions, could only collect his thoughts and said without thinking in front of Ye Mingsheng's gaze:
"Your Excellency, I have the same idea as Cui Shangshu. Both Zhang Zhiwen and Zhuang Shanhe are trustworthy people. They are both good candidates!"
Seeing that Gu Sansi did not express an opinion, Ye Mingsheng frowned slightly but did not say anything. He just looked at Li Jian, the Minister of Punishment, and said:
"Li Jian, Zhuang Shanhe is your subordinate, please tell me what you think!"
Hearing Ye Mingsheng call his name, Li Jian also stood up and said:
"Commander Qi, Zhang Zhiwen is also an official. Whether he was in Liaoyang or later transferred to Jiyu, he has achieved outstanding results. He is a rising star and a future pillar of the imperial court!"
At this point, Li Jian paused for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Ye Mingsheng's very upright sermon:
"Sir, the ancients said that when a virtuous person is promoted, one should not avoid relatives. Although Zhuang Inspector was my subordinate before, he is also your minister. The reason why I recommend him is not because of any friendship between me and him. It is entirely because of my friendship with him. Because I think Zhuang Shanhe is qualified for the position of Chief Envoy of Youyan..."
"Like Zhang Zhiwen, Zhuang Shanhe has achieved good results in recent years, and these are well-known in the court. Compared with Zhang Zhiwen, Zhuang Shanhe is familiar with Youyan's situation. As long as he can take over as Chief Secretary, he can immediately get into work!"
"It is now the time for spring plowing. As the chief envoy, we must lead the people to seize the farming season and complete the task of spring plowing to ensure the autumn harvest!"
What Li Jian said was righteous and righteous, and no one could fault it. However, Ye Mingsheng was a little indifferent to this. He glanced at everyone and continued to ask:
"Does any of you have anything to say?"
After Ye Mingsheng finished speaking, Li Jian felt a little uneasy. He didn't know what Ye Mingsheng was thinking!
Over the years, he has always remained neutral in the internal struggles within the Fengwu Army, following Ye Mingsheng's footsteps and concentrating on his own work.
It was precisely by relying on this strategy that Li Jian was appreciated by Ye Mingsheng. When he established the Yijing court, he was named Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment by Ye Mingsheng!
However, after becoming the Minister of Justice, Li Jian found more and more that his previous strategies were no longer suitable for his current status!
In the past, he was inconspicuous in the Fengwu Army. He did not participate in the fights and others would not look for him. But now he is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and one of the elders of the Yijing court. He even wants to hide from some things. , he can't escape at all...
Not only that, as one of the elders of the cabinet, Li Jian was only one step away from the position of chief assistant, and he naturally had thoughts about the position of chief assistant, a very human minister!
And if you want to become the chief assistant, it is not enough for you to just do your job well. You must also make your own voice in the court and establish your own prestige in front of the officials. Only in this way can you successfully reach the top as expected!
It is precisely because of this idea that Li Jian gradually changed his past methods, and the biggest change was that Li Jian also began to intentionally support Zhuang Shanhe and other old subordinates!
After all, if he wants to become the chief assistant, it is not enough for him to do it alone. He also needs the help of his trusted followers!
Because there were only two people on the candidate list at the beginning, Jin Zaicheng and Zhuang Shanhe, so this time around the competition for the position of Chief Envoy of Youyan, Li Jian was still confident that Zhuang Shanhe must be the Chief Envoy of Youyan!
After following the commander step by step over the years, Li Jian asked himself how much he could figure out Ye Mingsheng's thoughts. He believed that the commander simply looked down on Jin Jae-sung, who only had qualifications and no ability!
Although Zhuang Shanhe does not have the same qualifications as Jin Zaicheng, his achievements are still very good, and he can be praised in many places!
Judging from the past appointments of the commander-in-chief, although qualifications are also one of the factors that the commander-in-chief considers, ability is more important than qualifications!
Therefore, even though he heard that Xiao Lingyu had roped in Chen Fu to recommend Jin Zaicheng, Li Jian was still confident of winning, and even felt that he was sure of it... ·······
However, he did not expect that just a few days before the meeting, Gu Sansi added Zhang Zhiwen's name to the list. This can be said to have caught Li Jian off guard!
After all, although Zhang Zhiwen's development in recent years is not as strong as before, he has also made some achievements in Jiyu these years, so Li Jian is still a little worried!
However, after hearing that neither Cui Shao nor Gu Sansi expressed their opinions, Li Jian felt more at ease. He felt that Zhuang Shanhe had an advantage over Zhang Zhiwen in terms of grades and was no worse than Zhang Zhiwen in terms of ability. In addition, he recommended Zhuang Shanhe The possibility of Shan He ascending to the top is obviously greater than that of Zhang Zhiwen!
However, now listening to the meaning of Ye Mingsheng's words, Li Jian faintly felt something bad, as if something bad was about to happen!
Sure enough, as soon as Ye Mingsheng finished speaking, Xiao Lingyu, who originally supported Jin Zaicheng, stood up again. He first said in a strange way:
"Li Shangshu really promotes the virtuous and does not avoid relatives, which is really admirable!"
After speaking, Xiao Lingyu changed her voice again and said:
"Although Zhuang Shanhe has made commendable achievements over the years, as far as I know, he has only been in his new position as inspector for a few months, right?"
"Isn't it too hasty to transfer the chief envoy to the post so quickly?"
"What Li Shangshu said just now is right. Farming is about to begin now. This is a major matter for the imperial court and the chief ministers of various places. As chief ministers, they must lead the people to seize the farming season and complete various tasks for spring plowing... ················》
"But the inspector of Zhuangshanhezhuang has been working in the inspectorate, the Bureau of Justice and other departments before. He has no experience in the chief secretary or the yamen of various prefectures and counties. Therefore, he has to let the villagers do the hard work of seizing the farming season as soon as he comes up. I think it’s a bit overwhelming for mountains and rivers to do it!”
"So I think that although Zhuang Shanhe is a rising star, he should serve as an inspector for a while and let him take on greater responsibilities after accumulating experience!"
As soon as he said these words, Li Jian couldn't help but look cold, and glanced at Xiao Ling who was standing aside.
Jade, Xiao Lingyu felt Li Jian's gaze but didn't care at all.
As the censor of Zuodu, his job is to offend people. If he was afraid of offending people, he would not be the censor!
In addition, he has always looked down upon Li Jian. He felt that this person was sanctimonious and had sinister intentions. Therefore, he was very willing to give Li Jian eye drops, so he continued:
"When Zhang Zhiwen was in Liaoyang, he served as county magistrate and prefect successively. He has a lot of grassroots experience. He even worked in farming many times while serving as county magistrate. After being transferred to Hebei and Henan, he also served as deputy chief envoy for many years. , has a deep understanding of the operation and management of the Chief Secretary!”
"That's why I believe that Zhang Zhiwen is more qualified for the post of Chief Envoy of Youyan than Zhuang Shanhe!"
Xiao Lingyu's words can be said to be very powerful. After his words fell, everyone in the Zhongyong Hall couldn't help but be moved. Gu Sansi also glanced at Cui Shao from the corner of his eye... ···········
Although Cui Shao's expression did not change at this time, he was still as comfortable as the old people at the beginning, but Gu Sansi felt that Cui Shao was even more unpredictable at this time!
Regarding Xiao Lingyu's remarks, Li Jian also wanted to say something to fight for his old tribe, Shanhe, but just as he was organizing his words, Ye Mingsheng said:
"What Xiao Yushi said makes sense! Zhang Zhiwen has become more mature after years of experience in Hebei and Yu. If everyone has no other ideas, let him take over as the chief envoy of Youyan!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Jian, who originally wanted to make a last-ditch effort, realized that the situation was over and sighed helplessly, and then said in unison with everyone:
"The handsome and wise man!"
After completing the appointment of Chief Envoy Youyan, Ye Mingsheng spoke again:
"Murong Yuliang has been transferred to Huainan. Now the position of Chief Envoy to Hebei and Henan is vacant. Zhao Wanxian has done well in Liaoyang in a short period of time. This time, he will be sent to Hebei and Henan as Chief Envoy to succeed Murong Yuliang in charge of Hebei Province. All work in Henan is underway!"
"As for the position of Chief Envoy of Liaoyang, let Wang Chunlai, the Inspector-General of Liaoyang, take over. The position of Inspector-General of Liaoyang will be taken over by Ma Ye, a member of the Criminal Department!"
Compared with Zhang Zhiwen's transfer to Youyan, Ye Mingsheng's subsequent series of appointments were very sudden, making everyone present feel a little unprepared... ·······
As the official secretary, Gu Sansi looked a little complicated at this time. He didn't know whether Ye Mingsheng had discussed this series of appointments with Cui Shao, but Ye Mingsheng had not discussed it with him. He just asked before. Ask yourself what you think of Wang Chunlai!
The marshal seemed to have a special appreciation for Zhao Wanxian. Although he blocked his opportunity to take over as the chief envoy of Youyan, he took advantage of the opportunity of Murong Yuliang being transferred to Huainan. The marshal still asked him to be transferred to Jiyu. From Liaoyang to Jiyu Zhao Wanxian is now considered to be promoted!
Although he wanted to advise the commander, Gu Sansi also understood that the commander had not discussed with him this time, which already represented the commander's attitude!
The last time he stopped Zhao Wanxian from taking over as the Inspector of Youyan, it could be said that he had political disagreements, but if he stopped him from taking over as the Inspector of Jiyu this time, it would seem to be a bit targeted. Thinking of this, Gu Sansi couldn't help but sigh. Tongue, I feel like I should be more knowledgeable!
Seeing that Gu Sansi, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, had no objections to this series of appointments, everyone naturally had no objections and followed up by saying some polite words in Mandarin to praise Ye Mingsheng for knowing people and being good at appointing... ················
Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng also threw another bomb at everyone:
"I will officially tour the south on March 1st. At that time, the government affairs of the imperial court will be handed over to Cui Shangshu. Think twice, Li Jian and you three will be in charge. The military affairs will be handed over to Zhao Han and Yuan Song!"
"If there is anything you can discuss at that time, if you are really unsure, please notify me immediately!"
If the previous appointments only caught everyone off guard, then as soon as the news of the southern tour came out, everyone in the Zhongyong Hall was very surprised.
surprised!
Although there has been news in the Yijing court that the commander-in-chief wants to tour the south to inspect the situation in the southern provinces, this news has never been completely confirmed!
After Ye Baode's rebellion, there were also rumors within the Yijing court that because of the rebellion, Ye Mingsheng would cancel the planned southern tour this year, and would continue to stay in Yijing to ensure the stability of the court, and would start a southern tour at some time in the future. !
Because this rumor is well-founded, it has been convinced by many people, making everyone think that Ye Mingsheng will not tour southern China this year!
However, at this moment, when everyone thought that Ye Mingsheng would not go on a southern tour, Ye Mingsheng suddenly announced the southern tour and gave a clear time for the southern tour on March 1!
After hearing the news, Cui Shao, who had been remaining neutral until now, was the first to stand up and said:
"Commander, everyone in the government and the public knows that you care about government affairs, love the people as your son, and want to understand the sufferings of the people. However, the court has just experienced turmoil, and stability should be the priority at this time, so I think the southern tour can be considered in the long term... ·················》
