Chapter 1495 Persuasion
All the lords present, who does His Majesty Li Er trust the most?
There is no doubt that Jing Zhaoyin and Ma Zhou must be the most trusted confidant of His Majesty Li Er, even Fang Jun can only come second.
Without him, Ma Zhou is the one with the cleanest net worth...
Being born in a powerful family, of course, can get more help in his official career, the starting point is a high point, and with a little bit of hard work, he can be promoted all the way to the top under the promotion of the family.However, the status of a family member is not only an advantage, but also a disadvantage. Since he is blessed by the family, it is an unshirkable responsibility to protect the family's interests.
When the interests of the family and the country conflict, one can imagine how to choose...
Therefore, the aristocratic family has many capable ministers, but few loyal ministers, and if half of them appear by chance, they will be praised by the historians and regarded as flaunting.
Compared with ministers from aristocratic families, officials from poor families like Ma Zhou have a clean background and have fewer worries.
What's more, since Ma Zhoulu has been a guest of a poor family boy, Zhonglang general Chang He, and has been favored by His Majesty Li Er, he has been added to be the Supervisory Censor, Gishizhong, Zhongshu Sheren, Jing Zhaoyin... The road to Qingyun is unimpeded , was greatly simplified by His Majesty Li Er, and he relied on him as his confidant.
In contrast, Fang Jun is because of the two bonuses of Fang Xuanling's son's status and his son-in-law's status.
Ma Zhou is the real Jane in the emperor's heart...
Now that Ma Zhou recommended Yang Shidao, who doesn't know that this is the person that His Majesty Li Er prefers?
Yuwen Shiji pondered and said: "Jingyou is a pure and good person, and he has no faults. However, the situation is really cowardly, and there is nothing serious about it, and urgency cannot be achieved. I am afraid that such an important position in the Ministry of Officials cannot be fulfilled alone. Your Majesty should be cautious."
Yang Shidao, courtesy name Jingyou.
What does this mean?
Yang Shidao is a good person, but he has a cowardly personality and limited ability, and he is unbearable for a big task...
His Majesty Li Er was expressionless and silent.
Ma Zhou, who proposed this candidate, glanced at Yuwen Shiji, and said slowly: "Please forgive me for not agreeing with this statement. The duty of the Ministry of Officials is to select talented people to share your worries, and at the same time to be in charge of the promotion and advancement of officials all over the world. Compared with other deployments, stability is more important than anything else, if you are greedy and aggressive, it will cause turmoil in the officialdom and will not benefit the overall situation."
The meaning of the words is that Yang Shidao's personality may be a shortcoming elsewhere, but it is an advantage in the bureaucracy where stability trumps everything.
Not only that, but also hinted at Gao Jifu's accusations.
Since Gao Jifu is attached to the Guanlong Group to seek the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, once he gets his wish and takes up the post, the first thing to do is to give back to the Guanlong Group for its support and help. Some official positions must be adjusted to benefit the Guanlong Group.
However, once this happens, it will cause turbulence in the officialdom and destroy the overall situation in front of you.
What is the "big picture" at hand?
Expedition!
Almost all the deployment and preparations of the imperial court were in preparation for the Eastern Expedition. Gao Jifu took office at this time, which broke the existing balance in the officialdom, caused confusion among people, and greatly hindered the preparation process for the Eastern Expedition...
Changsun Wuji lifted his eyelids to Gao Jifu, who was ashen-faced, and sighed helplessly in his heart.
As expected of His Majesty Jian Bazhi's powerful help, Ma Zhou's words can be said to hit the nail on the head, and immediately hit Gao Jifu's most fatal weakness.
The post of Minister of the Ministry of Officials has gone away...
His Majesty Li Er saw that there were no more objections from the ministers, so he glanced at Gao Jifu and said, "In this case, I will invite the ministers and assistants of the Political Affairs Hall to discuss again later, and then issue a document announcement to appoint the new Minister of the Ministry of Officials."
The process of the imperial court is that the emperor and the ministers propose candidates for official positions, and then they are reviewed and discussed by the political affairs hall, and finally they announce their appointment.
Therefore, the appointment and removal of officials is in the hands of the prime ministers in the political affairs hall.
Of course, the rules are so, but since His Majesty Li Er has identified the candidate, who would have the guts to refute...
Seemingly a few democratic rules, in fact, describe them as false. This is the status quo in the "monarchy supremacy" society. No matter how strict and advanced the law is, it is impossible to violate the will of the emperor...
The court meeting came to an end, and Gao Jifu had calculated a lot, but in the end he failed to get the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and because of his betrayal of Gao Shilian and his repeated performance of being teased by Fang Jun in front of the emperor today, he has already caused the emperor's dissatisfaction , presumably in the near future even the position of minister of the Ministry of officials may be difficult to preserve.
Gao Jifu walked out of the Liangyi Hall in a daze, the bright sunlight outside the door made him dazzled, his head felt dizzy, and he almost fell to the ground.
He thought that his elder brother Gao Shilian was getting older, that the Guanlong Group had a deep foundation despite being suppressed, and that his eldest grandson Wuji was still influential even if he was gradually neglected by the emperor, but in the end he found that everything he thought was false.
The fucking Guanlong Group is actually a paper tiger...
*****
The important matter was discussed in Liangyi Hall, but it didn't mean that today's political affairs came to an end.
All the ministers left the Hall of Liangyi and went directly to the Political Affairs Hall to discuss some trivial matters. If there is too much disagreement after the discussion, or if the matter is too important to decide, they will be sent to His Majesty Li Er again. cut...
The political affairs hall meeting is now very large.
Shangshuxing's left and right ministers, the ministers of Zhongshusheng and Menxia provinces, the assistant officials of the six ministries, and many officials who were not qualified to go to Liangyi Hall to discuss matters gathered together.
Fang Jun enters the room, takes a seat, looks around at everyone, and thinks that maybe soon, everyone present will add a suffix to the official position - Shen Zhi Zheng Shi...
The composition of the Zhengshitang is a bit awkward now.
The Shangshu Province is the head of the three provinces. Because His Majesty Li Er once served as the Shangshuling himself, this post was postponed by the chief officials of the Shangshuxing in the past dynasties. Shooting for Shangshu Zuopu, so he is actually the head of Zaifu.
But Fang Xuanling was ill at home and had not been to the court for many days, and Gao Shilian, the right servant, repeatedly asked for his official post. His Majesty is about to issue an imperial edict, and all the chief officials of Shangshu Province are absent...
Wei Zheng has been sick since last autumn, and has not come to the Political Affairs Hall for more than half a year.
Originally, Changsun Wuji had also stayed at home behind closed doors recently, but just after he came out of Liangyi Hall, Changsun Wuji went home again, but now the only Chancellor in the Political Affairs Hall is Cen Wenwen...
Cen Wenwen, who is "the bottom of the millennium", can also appreciate the taste of the first assistant...
Sitting in the main seat alone, Cen Wenwen looked at the stack of memorials placed on the desk, took one from the top, opened it, glanced at it, and said: "The Ministry of War applies for the reorganization and establishment of the Foundry Bureau... let's discuss this first. Let's do it."
There was a "buzzing" discussion in the hall.
Cen Wenwen knocked on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Quiet! Fang Shilang, as far as I know, the Ministry of War does not have the right to manufacture weapons, right? Then what is the casting bureau you proposed to set up?"
Fang Jun sat up straight, and talked eloquently: "The empire is growing day by day, and its territory is expanding day by day. Correspondingly, the number of standing troops must be increased. In addition, the Eastern Expedition is imminent, and the number of weapons and armor needed will inevitably increase exponentially. , This will definitely put a huge pressure on the Military Weapons Supervisor..."
Before the words were finished, He Ruoming, the military supervisor, said calmly: "The military supervisor has its own regulations, so there is no need for Fang Shilang to worry about it."
Originally, the Military Weapons Supervisor was not qualified to attend the meeting of the Zhengshitang, but any matter discussed in the Zhengshitang must be sent to the Zhengshitang by the various deployment yamen for registration the day before, and then the yamen involved in the matter will be notified by the Zhengshitang to inform them Come to attend.
Although He Ruoming agreed that Liu Xun would not object to the reorganization of the Ministry of War and the establishment of the foundry bureau, it did not mean that he did not feel disgusted with Fang Jun's "coercion and lure" Liu Xun's order to rely on his relatives to come and beg him. Junzhi naturally didn't have a good face...
Everyone in the hall was startled, and said He Ruoming, you are trying to humiliate yourself, you still don't know how this stick made Changsun Wuji and Gao Jifu unable to come to the stage in Liangyi Hall just now...
However, how could Fang Jun play hard with He Ruoming?
Not to mention that He Ruoming's protection of the interests of the Military Weapons Supervision is justified, but if he just said that he wants to share some rights in the hands of the Military Weapons Supervision, he has to humble himself...
Fang Jun chuckled, his face was bright and kind, and he said warmly: "It's not that I want to intervene in the matter of the military supervision, it's just because the situation is urgent, so I came up with a way that can benefit both sides, so that all of us I can easily complete the errand assigned by His Majesty..."
He didn't think there was anything wrong with bending down, the one who "smacked the sky and slapped the air" wasn't a human being, it was Teddy...
