Chapter two hundred and twentieth a word to retain
It should be noted that a person who does not know what is deep and what is wrong and speaks without restraint, no matter how powerful he is and no matter how popular the emperor is, one day he will be caught and thrown into a place of eternal destruction.
When the time comes, not even the emperor can protect him.
The ministers did not dare to answer, but secretly looked at Xu Xiangfeng, holding a wait-and-see attitude.
When the emperor saw this, he stopped smiling, lowered his eyes, and asked Xu Xianfeng: "Why don't you, Prime Minister, find another talented person to take up the post of magistrate of Yuhuai County? King Duan will go deep into the hinterland of the original Qiang Kingdom to find out who is knowledgeable about pharmacology."
With Fu Yu by my side to assist and take care of her, the queen and I can feel more at ease."
Hearing that the emperor had brought out his daughters to play the family card with him, as a supporter of Prince Duan, the leader of Prince Duan's gang, and Prince Duan's grandfather, it would be cold-blooded to disagree with the emperor's proposal.
Xu Xiangfeng's half-closed eyes became a little darker.
The little emperor felt that he had finally raised a few good dogs, so he couldn't wait to challenge him.
"Your Majesty shows great concern for His Royal Highness Prince Duan. It is really the deep love between father and son. If I say anything more, it will appear that I am being unkind."
Xu Xiangfeng said something about the situation, but then pushed the question back to the emperor, "Since the emperor has several objections to the selection of the magistrate of Yuhuai County, I guess he already has a candidate in mind, so don't fool the old minister again."
"The Prime Minister is worrying too much."
The emperor said, "The prime minister is assisting me in keeping the late emperor's decree. He is also the queen's biological father and my father-in-law. I admire and respect you but it is too late. How dare you fool the prime minister?"
Xu Xiangfeng lowered his eyes, lowered his head and became more respectful: "The Holy One has defeated the old minister. Since ancient times, the king is the king, and the ministers are ministers. Even if the old minister is the head of the country, he cannot surpass the Holy One."
After saying that, Xu Xiangfeng bowed his head and asked again before the emperor spoke again, "I wonder who the emperor would like to be appointed as the magistrate of Yuhuai County?"
The emperor's polite words were stuck in his mouth, and he glanced at Xu Xiangfeng who changed the subject with a sneer. He turned his eyes and looked at the ministers in the court with his narrow eyes: "There are many capable people in the court, and I can't take them."
Who should be allowed to go to Yuhuai?"
"Yuhuai is located at the estuary of the Xiangzhang River, the most important river to the west of Wu'an. Yuhuailin, Zhangzhou and Chongqing counties form the gateway to maritime trade in the southwest. They are also across the sea from Youzhu, and serve as
At the same time as conducting sea trade, we also need to guard against intrusions from foreign enemies. Now that our country has annexed the Qiang land, the officials who manage these three counties must be able to care about relatives and appease the Qiang people."
"These three counties are actually the fortresses of the southwest."
The emperor talked about the importance of these three counties, but his eyes fell on Liu Xiyuan beyond the ministers, "With such a heavy responsibility, I really can't make up my mind for a moment, who should be in charge. Dear friends, is there anyone who is willing to take the initiative to leave the capital?
This capital city is prosperous, why do you want to go to the border areas of the sea to share your worries for me?"
Listening to the emperor stating the importance of the three counties and specifically emphasizing the word "active", many people in the court were ready to make a move, but when they heard that the emperor had demoted the three counties to a sea frontier, they hesitated for a while.
The three counties may be important, and there may be a lot of money to be made, but they are not worthy of giving up their good days in the capital and going to the frontier to endure hardships.
Listening to the emperor's opinion, while he felt that the three counties were important, he demoted them to border areas, which shows that he did not attach great importance to them.
To be prosperous, the waters around Lausanne City, which borders Southern Xinjiang and Eastern Xinjiang and is closer to the prosperity beam, are the heaviest.
The three counties of Yuhuai, Huailin and Zhangyu combined are not even one-third as wealthy as the maritime merchants in Lausanne City.
For this trivial amount of money, they left the capital and went to a borderland. They did not show their faces in front of the emperor for a long time. After a long time, the emperor might simply forget about them and leave them in a small fishing village like that for the rest of their lives, never to return to the capital.
That would be a big loss for Dafa!
After such a weighing, the courtiers in the court who were about to make a move all restrained their thoughts and looked at Xu Xianfeng, the leader of the officials.
The person Xu Xiangfeng had previously recommended was rejected. At this time, the emperor asked the officials if anyone would volunteer to go. This was undoubtedly a slap in Xu Xiangfeng's face.
And the one who stepped forward to recommend himself at this time was that he was having trouble with Xu Xianfeng.
Thinking of this, the ministers once again felt lucky that they did not step forward rashly.
If you are in the court and have offended the prime minister, who is the head of the officials, you have to consider your own foundation to see if you can withstand the Xu family's subsequent revenge.
Now if you want Xu Xiangfeng to regain some face, the best thing is to remain silent and wait for the emperor to ask Xu Xiangfeng again about the candidate. It would be most appropriate for Xu Xiangfeng to decide on the candidate.
Anyway, they didn't respond, which made the emperor unhappy, but the result was shared among everyone, and it was impossible for the emperor to send everyone out.
But if he gets ahead at this time, he will definitely offend Xu Xiangfeng.
It’s not easy to target a court full of people, but isn’t it easy to target one person?
So no one answered, everyone chose to assess the situation and let the emperor and the prime minister compete.
But they forgot that there was another person in this court who had offended Xu Xianfeng to death a long time ago.
"The humble minister is willing to take on this position and share the worries of His Majesty."
Liu Xiyuan stood up when the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were silent and applied for the position loudly.
The ministers all looked at Liu Xiyuan in shock, and then turned to look at Xu Xiangfeng's face. They saw that Xu Xiangfeng's eyebrows were downcast. Although there was no big change from the past, it made people feel that he was kind and friendly in the past for no reason.
His eyebrows are a little sharper today.
"Master Liu is gifted, so it would be the best choice for him to stay in the court and provide advice to the Holy Emperor. If he were to be sent to a border area and become a small county magistrate, it would really be a dereliction of his talents."
Xu Xiangfeng lowered his eyes and persuaded the emperor to keep Liu Xiyuan.
This move confused the officials.
Everyone should be able to see it. The moment Liu Xiyuan stood up to speak, Xu Xianfeng's body showed sharp anger.
But why are you still saying this now?
He calculated that keeping Liu Xiyuan in the court would be better for revenge, but now that he has the support of the emperor, even if Xu Xiangfeng, as the prime minister and the emperor, would look down on him, it would still be difficult to do things openly.
Too much.
But if it is decentralized to a place that is far away, there will be too many articles that can be done on the road and within the government office.
In the court, no matter how many calculations you make, as long as Liu Xiyuan is not stupid, and can even be called smooth, and has the blessing of the emperor, the most you can do is try some small stumbling blocks to make him wear small shoes. I really want to create some kind of trap.
It is difficult to be sentenced to a felony!
Moreover, Liu Xiyuan's mouth would give him one more moment of trouble if he was kept in court for one more moment.
It's not necessary!
Or does the Prime Minister really cherish his talent, and tolerate this person even if he is disrespectful to him?
