Chapter 1920 Cabinet candidates
Yang Futian is no longer a rookie in the officialdom. Listening to Lin Shiran's analysis, his thoughts became clearer, but he couldn't help but shake his head bitterly.
Now Xu Jie does not have the right candidate who is absolutely loyal to Hu Song to support him. It would be a wise move to win over Gao Gong and directly hit Lin Yanran.
Yang Futian found that the current situation was very serious, and he couldn't help but look at Lin Junran with concern and said, "Senior Brother, once Gao Gong turns to Xu Jie, what should we do?"
"If that's true, our lives will be really difficult!" Lin Xuran smiled and nodded.
Yang Futian saw a clue from Lin Qiran's expression, and immediately asked tentatively: "Senior Brother, do you think Gao Gong will not cooperate with Xu Jie?"
"How is this possible? If Xu Jie was really willing to recommend Gao Gong as the Minister of Personnel, how could Gao Gong not cooperate with Xu Jie!" Lin Qingran shook his head affirmatively, but then analyzed: "It's just that Gao Gong is not
Even if he had a honeymoon period with Xu Jie, the two of them would never be together. Gao Gong's ambition would not be satisfied with a minister of the Ministry of Personnel!"
In the officialdom, you must not only observe the current situation, but also understand the hearts of the people. Yan Song's failure was that he did not see through Xu Jie, and his family was destroyed by Xu Jie.
"Senior brother, even if they have only worked together for a while, our situation is very bad!" Yang Futian said worriedly as if he was thrown into cold water.
Lin Fu came in and added tea to Lin Junran, then quietly withdrew and continued to stay outside.
Lin Qingran took a sip of hot tea and nodded gently and said, "This is naturally a relatively bad situation! But the situation is quite complicated now. Not to mention that all parties are eyeing the position of the Minister of Personnel, it is impossible to do so internally.
There is no conflict! As far as I know, Qian Bangyan, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, is still thinking about this position! Not to mention that Xu Jie and Gao Gong may not be together, even if Xu Jie really intends Gao Gong, there may not be any differences within them.
, And... the emperor is the biggest variable!"
Yang Futian was originally afraid of Xu Jie and Gao Gong joining forces, but when he heard the last factor, he found that the situation in the court was indeed much more complicated than he thought.
If we elect the Minister of Personnel according to the traditional court recommended in the past, then things are often clearer.
But now, the emperor has firmly grasped the power of personnel. No one knows whether he is the candidate who follows the cabinet's recommendation this time, or whether he has other plans in his mind.
Although Lin Xun was studying official business, he was still observing the situation. He wrote a word on the table with tea and said: "Please pay attention to this person!"
Yang Futian took a look and nodded solemnly, but he knew that this senior brother had always been more sober than anyone else and could always walk out of this chaotic court.
Even when I was in the yamen, there were constant rumors in the officialdom in the capital.
Many officials have long been unwilling to do official duties, while some have begun to bet in advance, and have already begun to give gifts to the boss who has the opportunity to become the Minister of Personnel.
When the Xiaya is approaching, a piece of news came from Xiyuan: the cabinet has reached a unified opinion today, and tomorrow it will officially recommend a new Minister of Personnel to the emperor.
"Is it really Huang Guangsheng, the Minister of Justice?"
"How could Guo Pu agree? So it must be Huang Guangsheng!"
"Haha... I still have to guess this? Guo Pu can agree to it!"
...
As the news came, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, which immediately sparked more heated discussions among officials, and everyone turned their attention to Gao Gong, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Not long after I left the yamen, many officials had already visited Gaofu with gifts.
In the evening, a sedan chair crossed the street and walked around the alleys and soon returned to the Guo Mansion located in Xiaoyongfang.
Guo Pu, wearing a first-class official uniform, sat upright in the sedan chair with his eyes closed and restless eyes. His hair was pale, but his face looked carefree.
He was the top scholar in the 14th year of Jiajing. He was smooth sailing on the road to Cichen. He once reached the position of Minister of Personnel. Only four years ago, his father suddenly passed away, which led to a major career in his career.
Turning point.
Although he returned to the court at the end of his filial piety period and now he has joined the cabinet to serve as a minister, he is already ranked behind two younger generations Yan Ne and Li Chunfang, and he is also suspected of "hiding his demise".
It cast a stain on his career.
Now, although he is in the turmoil of the court, he is no longer the absolute protagonist, but can only be a supporting role. He cannot feel a little depressed in his heart.
"Slow down! Slow down!"
The housekeeper had already been in the front yard, directing the sedan chair to slowly fall down, and then stepped forward and pulled open the curtain of the sedan chair and reported to Guo Pu who had been in the hall: "Master, Mr. Gao has been waiting in the hall for a long time.
!”
Guo Pu was not surprised that Gao Gong came to the door at all. If Gao Gong didn't come tonight, he would have seen a ghost. He nodded gently and said, "You go and arrange dinner!"
"Zhong!" The butler responded and went to prepare for supper.
Gao Gong's butt was always pressed against the chair handle in the living room. When he watched Guo Pu walk from the front yard, he said in a strong Henan accent: "My husband, what are you doing? I have been waiting for you for most of the day!
”
Although Guo Pu is two higher than him and older than him, Guo Pu is even more a master now, Gao Gong still has a carefree attitude, like an old friend who has been indistinguishable from his status for many years.
"I met someone on the way and was delayed for a while! Suqing, you haven't eaten yet, right? I asked the kitchen to arrange it!" Guo Pu's face was a little tired, but he responded in official words.
Gao Gong's butt was still not moving, so he reached out and touched his stomach and responded casually: "Zhong, I'm here to fight Qiufeng today!"
Guo Pu asked Gao Gong to wait for a while, but went back to his room to change into a set of clothes at home.
It’s not that he wants to put on airs. The weather in the capital is stuffy and he stayed in Xiyuan last night and had nowhere to change clothes. Now his clothes are smelly of sweat. Not to mention that it will disgust the guest Gao Gong, he himself can’t stand it.
.
Gao Gong was waiting for Guo Pu in the living room. When he saw Guo Pu changing his clothes, he asked directly: "Brother Husband, I heard that the cabinet has unified its opinions today. Is this true?"
Guo Pu nodded gently when facing Gao Gong's gaze.
