After the civil and military officials stood up, Sun Ping, who had now become a full-time servant of the prince, shouted at the top of his voice to start the court, and Nangong Xi was the first to leave.
Now the atmosphere in the court has almost been changed. Things are still done in the order of Shangshu Sheng, Liu Bu and Jiu Temple. But now, if you have something to say, you just hold it back. You can't do it just because of water. Water, you can , there is something to get from water.
Nangong Xi is usually not very popular, so when he leaves work, he must have something serious to do.
"After the summer, the military elections are coming again. Every chariot, horse, and government affairs must come up with regulations. Because the post of Minister of the Ministry of War is vacant, it is all handled by General Qin Gang of the Zhu Kingdom. The so-called name is not justified, so the veteran minister reported , he should be appointed as Minister of War as soon as possible and be in charge of military selection matters."
The prince glanced at the palace pillars, but did not see Chu Qing, and nodded slightly: "What the boss said is absolutely true, but the position of Minister of the Ministry of War is very important. I wonder if the boss and the Ministry of Personnel have candidates, and ministers, do you have candidates?"
Nangong Xi retreated.
This is the rule, things are easier to do when there are more people, the rule is that when there are more people, there are more people, and when there are less people, there are fewer people.
It's like criticizing impeachment. If you want to impeach Chu Qing, if you are a person, you will jump out directly, oh, Your Highness, Chu Qing is not a human, he is a living animal, a bastard, a shit stirrer, and Director Ma, so what? of.
Then the intuitive impression of the emperor and the outer dynasty was that someone scolded Chu Qing.
But what if a group of people jumped out, for example, my uncle jumped out and said that Chu Qing was not a human being, then Qiu Wanshan jumped out and said Chu Qing was a shit stirrer, Qin Gang jumped out and said Chu Qing was Director Ma , Nangong Ping also jumped out, calling Chu Qing a bastard.
So the intuitive impression given to the emperor and the foreign dynasties was that the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were scolding Chu Qing. It was not just one person, but the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty. Thinking of this, there must be something wrong with Chu Qing.
This is the reason why many people in the court form cliques. Fighting alone is not powerful enough. Forming cliques is one word, okay!
This is true for impeachment and criticism, and conversely, the same is true for recommending someone.
If one person says you are good, it may not be good. But if a group of ministers say you are good, the emperor must take it seriously. Is this a clique and a rebellion?
However, when Nangong Xi mentioned something, he could not directly recommend someone, as this would inevitably lead to misunderstanding.
The person who will not be misunderstood must be a member of the Ministry of War. Currently, the number one person in charge of the Office of the Ministry of War is Qin Gang.
"Your Highness, I have a candidate." Qin Gang came out, looked back at the palace pillars, and then said loudly: "I have a tiger general in the military department, who is both civil and military, has both ability and political integrity, and is a loyal and patriotic man. "
Lan Renshan was still watching the fun, with a look of disdain on his face. How come I haven't heard of any idiot who is both civil and military and has both political integrity and talent?
"What the old general said is absolutely true. There is no shortage of people with outstanding military achievements in the country. The position of minister is not trivial. It requires both ability and political integrity to serve the public."
Qiu Wanshan walked out and nodded in agreement: "Thanks to the great commander of the Qianqi Battalion, the country's military weapons are sharp. Gunpowder crossbows and fierce kerosene are all magic weapons. With these magic weapons, when you get into the battle formation, you want to defeat the capital." Difficult, military merit is secondary. First of all, we should look at military skills. If a craftsman wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his weapon. If you don’t even understand the gunpowder crossbow, fierce kerosene, etc., how can you be qualified for the position of Minister of the Ministry of War?"
"What Qiu Shangshu said is true." Qin Gang said with a smile: "This general recommends this person, that's why. Regardless of military achievements, he must be familiar with the art of weapons."
Lan Renshan curled his lips even more.
Ma Rui also spoke: "Although I am not a military commander, the most important thing is this conduct. Conduct, not just character, observe people and their actions. This conduct is the most important thing."
Lan Renshan couldn't help but look in the direction of the palace pillars, feeling a little unhappy, feeling that Chu Qing could already cover the sky with one hand in the court.
Isn't this lying with open eyes? He also has good character. In order to let Tan Zhongping rise to power, he started to blame deer for horses. He is like a bear named Tan. He doesn't know a lot of Chinese characters and beats people in a hurry. Man Na yells that he cares about Chu Qing. What kind of thing is he called a wise nephew? He is still a minister.
As a nominal court official, Ma Rui expressed his expectations for the Minister of War: "I feel that although character is external, it is also about the inside, just like those aristocratic families in the past, which one Not only have they been caught by military soldiers, but they have been reprimanded by their elders. Just the pleadings from the common people are piled up like a mountain, and every mention of them is not a curse, an animal act, an animal act..."
Chu Qing, who was behind the palace pillar, heard something more and more wrong.
Whose connotation does this old boy have?
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's neck felt sore even as he nodded, and he looked at Qin Gang as if he couldn't bear it anymore: "In this way, I think he is the pillar of the country in my court, and the person that General Qin wants to recommend, yes…"
"General Yunhui of our Ministry of War... Dang Dang Dang..."
Qin Gang turned around and pointed: "The Ministry of War has both political integrity and talent, and is a pillar of the country. General Lan Renshan Lan."
The music started, the lights gathered, and everyone looked towards Lanren Mountain.
Lan Renshan sniffed, was stunned for a moment, and then... was stunned again, and finally pointed at himself: "Is it just me?"
Qin Gang: "..."
"It turns out to be General Lan!"
The prince is also an actor, and he looked like he suddenly realized: "I have heard my father mention General Lan a lot on weekdays. General Lan is the best choice."
Lan Renshan looked confused, and subconsciously looked at the pillars, his face full of fire.
Good Chu Qing, you still want to trick me!
Qin Gang called out: "General Lan..."
Lan Renshan, the number one parkour player in the country, wanted to curse Chu Qing, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk out.
"Your Highness, the last general...the last general, please forgive me for obeying my orders."
The civil servants didn't have any surprised expressions, because everyone did it this way, and no one could rush forward and shout excitedly, "Oh, I'll pull, I'll pull, it's finally me, I'm so happy."
It's all about face, so you have to shirk it a bit, so that you can look high-ranking.
The prince smiled and said: "General Lan, please don't refuse. The post of Minister of the Ministry of War is better than yours."
Qin Gang smiled and said: "I just said that I am both civil and military, possess both political integrity and talent, and I am a loyal and patriotic person. Why would General Lan shirk this?"
Lan Renshan was confused: "The last general...is the tiger general?"
Qin Gang laughed loudly: "At the beginning, Chu Wensheng, the commander-in-chief of Beiguan, pretended to rebel. Many generals in the military department were helpless. Only General Lan asked for orders and was willing to go to Beiguan to quell Chu Wensheng's rebellion. I don't remember."
Lan Renshan: “…”
Alan couldn't say a word. Looking back now, he thought, wasn't he a tiger general? There was no one more tiger than himself.
"Kemo General..." Lan Renshan said anxiously: "Kemo General, this military achievement..."
"I just said what I said." It was Qiu Wanshan who spoke: "Military merit is second. Look at the weapon skills first. If a craftsman wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his weapon. If you don't even understand the gunpowder crossbow, fierce kerosene, etc. , how to qualify for the position of Minister of War, does General Lan understand this new weapon?"
Lan Renshan nodded subconsciously, don't talk about me, even dogs understand it on the other side of the East China Sea.
"Can…"
Ah Lan finally realized that something was wrong. Qin Gang and Qiu Wanshan sang in harmony. This... no, the more this set looked, the more it looked like it was tailor-made for him.
In the end, he still had to fight to the death. Lan Renshan pointed at Ma Rui with his neck raised: "But the position of minister is very important. Mr. Ma also said that you should pay attention to his character..."
Ma Rui asked cheerfully: "Is General Lan flying eagle and running away?"
Lan Renshan shook his head. His place of work was relatively close to his residence, just by his two legs.
Ma Rui: "General Lan, are you drunk and running rampant?"
Lan Renshan still shook his head. He didn't like drinking and only drank tea.
Ma Rui: "General Lan, have you ever been criticized by the people?"
Lan Renshan still shook his head. He was more afraid when he saw the people.
Ma Rui: "General Lan, do you like prostitution?"
Lan Renshan's head shook like a rattle. He had no money and no such hobby.
Ma Rui was curious: "General Lan, what do you like?"
Lan Renshan just shook his head. He didn't have any hobbies. His only hobby was collecting girls...no hobbies, no hobbies.
Ma Rui: "Is General Lan a living beast?"
Lan Renshan not only shook his head, but also glanced at the palace master subconsciously.
Nangong Xi, Qin Gang, Qiu Wanshan, and Ma Rui all looked at the prince.
Nangong Xi: "Your Highness, the Minister of the Ministry of War must be General Lan."
Qin Gang: "The tiger general in the court is strong and strong!"
Qiu Wanshan: "Exquisite weapons, knowledgeable and talented."
Ma Rui: "My moral character is flawless and beyond reproach."
Prince: "Okay!"
What is Laochen? This is Laochen, downplaying what is not and highlighting what is.
The civil servants were finally convinced.
Tiger general, is that a tiger general? It is simply a tiger.
He is also proficient in weapons. If you go to the East China Sea and pick any naval officer, they will know how to operate gunpowder crossbows and powerful kerosene.
Also, he has impeccable moral character and is just a little transparent. No one knows him or pays attention to him.
Chu Qing came out of work, glanced around the civil servants with squinted eyes, and said sadly: "I second the proposal, you... do whatever you want."
The civil servants all jumped out.
"Seconded…"
"Second the motion..."
"Second the motion, especially..."
