Chapter five hundred and seventy-eight. Lively court discussion (1).
…
…
In the court and above the temple, the emperor and his ministers manage the vast country and millions of people, and countless things happen every moment.???
Among them, some things are very big and will affect the life and death of the people and the survival of the country. But at this time, it is often just a matter of routine and following the regulations. All the officials will put on a serious face, as if they are Zen.
Although they are worried and public-spirited, in fact, most people's mood is stable and they don't care much, nor will they insist on their own position as court officials. As long as there is no big trouble, it will be easy.
Compromise and give in.
Some things are very small and will only affect the wealth of certain officials, or the rise and fall of certain parties. At such times, officials will burst out with great enthusiasm and concentration, try their best, expend painstaking efforts, and use all their resources.
Their wisdom and energy will not give in at all, and their firm stance is by no means inferior to those heroes and warriors praised in ancient and modern times. Of course, on the surface, they will still look righteous and act impartially. On the surface,
There is also no shortage of moral articles.
However, no matter what happened the day before, the sun would still rise the next day, and officials would still rush to attend the morning meeting before the sun rose.
In the morning of the next day, there will still be many big and small things that they need to deal with.
During this period, through the concerted efforts of everyone, one stubborn disease will appear one after another in the court system, one mess after another will emerge in the civil situation, and the situation on the border will become more and more corrupt, but the officials will not care, as long as they do not
If these stubborn illnesses and messes affect your own life, just leave them to the next person, so why bother yourself?
This is the cycle of reincarnation in the officialdom, day after day, day after day, without interruption. Until one day, the stubborn diseases become more and more serious, the mess becomes bigger and bigger, and everything is taken care of by these people who are loyal to the emperor and the country, and sincerely public-minded.
The ministers messed up, then the people's hearts were lost, the country was lost, and finally the country was ruined and the family was destroyed. Only then will this reincarnation end briefly.
Of course, after the country name is changed, a new group of people will happily replace the old ones soon, and this cycle of reincarnation will continue.
After all, there are only a few wise men with a long-term vision. Everyone is enjoying themselves before the cycle of reincarnation is broken.
Now, as a person in the situation, Zhao Junchen can see clearly and occasionally sigh a few words, but he is deeply trapped in it and cannot extricate himself. He has no ability or courage to escape from reincarnation.

On the second day, inside the Huangji Palace.
The morning dynasty began with the officials shouting "long live the mountain".
So Emperor Deqing and the officials began to discuss the affairs of the court.
First, the General Affairs Department submitted a report from Guangdong and Guangxi, saying that Guangdong and Guangxi had encountered a hurricane and heavy rain that had never happened in a century, and the people along the coast were seriously damaged. Thousands of households were displaced, and they asked the imperial court for relief.
Disaster relief is a good job, and it is easy to make money, but the distance between Guangdong and Guangxi is too far from the capital, and it takes several months just to go back and forth, which makes this job useless. Therefore, the officials did not pay too much attention, and the various factions did not
There was no fighting, a consensus was quickly reached, and the matter was handled in accordance with the regulations.
In just a cup of tea, this important matter concerning the life and death of tens of thousands of people was settled.
Then, there was another statement from the Chief Envoy of Sichuan, saying that there was an earthquake in Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan. Although it was not strong, the local Yi people were emotionally unstable. Many chieftains took the opportunity to blackmail the court and ask for supplies because the supplies were large. The Chief Envoy of Sichuan
The envoy did not dare to make the decision, so he asked the court to send a minister to take charge.
In the eyes of all the officials, Liangzhou was a poor place, and there was no money to be made from this job. Although it was a credit to get it done well, it was more likely to fail if it was done well, so the major factions in the imperial court still did not fight for it and discussed it.
The atmosphere was quite harmonious, and after final deliberation, an unlucky censor of the capital, who had no party or faction, was entrusted with an important task and became the special envoy of the imperial court. He was kicked to Liangzhou, Sichuan by several powerful officials.
This matter related to the safety of Sichuan, with the concerted efforts of all officials, it was still over in just a cup of tea.
However, after the deliberation on the memorials from various places was completed, the officials began to discuss the replacement candidates for the Minister of Industry and the governors of the three sides after Zuo Lanshan and Liang Fuchen entered the cabinet.
Thus, the drama began.
These two positions are related to the interests of all parties, and the officials are naturally extremely concerned.
Many ministers who were already drowsy suddenly cheered up!
Among them, the vacancy of the governor of the three sides was only slightly controversial, but the candidate was quickly determined, and it was Wang Zheng, the left minister of the Ministry of War.
Wang Zheng was far from the previous Liang Fuchen in terms of military capabilities and strategic vision, but he was a die-hard member of the "Emperor Party" and was loyal enough to Emperor Deqing, so he won the title of Emperor Deqing and "Emperor Party".
Party officials’ full support.
Zhao Junchen thought of the rotten current situation of Sanbiang Army Town, but he was a little worried. The former Sanbiang Army Town relied on Liang Fuchen's superb methods to survive, but now a man named Wang Zheng, who is far inferior to Liang Fuchen, has taken over.
I'm afraid the situation is about to get out of control, and something may happen.
However, because the governors of the three sides controlled the military power and were extremely sensitive, in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of Emperor Deqing, Zhao Junchen did not dare to raise objections. At the same time, most of the powerful officials in the court had the same idea, so this appointment was not
There was not much controversy and it was passed quickly.
Then, the officials began to discuss the replacement of the Minister of Industry.
This is a huge mistake, and the major factions will naturally not give in. The morning meeting, which was a peaceful one just now, has once again turned into a quarrelsome vegetable market.
Unexpectedly, the first people to fight for it this time were the "princelings".
"Your Majesty, the old minister recommends Bao Wenjie, the Minister of Rites, to take over the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry! Bao Wenjie has been working hard in the Ministry of Rites over the years and has never made any mistakes. His character is also extremely rare, and he is loyal to the court and your Majesty. He will take over.
The position of Minister of Industry is the most suitable one!"
Following the statement of cabinet minister Cheng Yuandao, a number of "princeling party" officials also came out to express their support.
In the eyes of the "Princeling Party", the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Household Affairs have a close relationship. One is responsible for spending money, and the other is responsible for taking money. If the Ministry of Works can be seized, it will tie Zhao Junchen's neck.
Therefore, the performance of the "princeling party" is quite positive.
However, other political parties in the DPRK and China also covet the Ministry of Industry, so naturally they will not agree with the candidate of the "princeling party".
Although the core members of the "Zhou Party" were all persuaded by Zhou Shangjing and decided not to participate in the fight for the Ministry of Works, the idea is one thing and the approach is another. In order to stabilize the hearts and minds of the lower-level officials of the "Zhou Party", maintain
The morale and posture of the "Zhou Party" still need to be shown.
Therefore, the new cabinet minister Li He immediately came out to refute the recommendation of the "princeling party" and said: "Your Majesty, Bao Shilang's ability and temperament are certainly good, but his qualifications are somewhat junior after all, and his experience will inevitably have flaws.
His age and reputation are not enough to convince the public. I think Bao Shilang needs a few more years of experience before he can take on the important task. As the candidate for Minister of Industry, I think Shaanxi Governor Zhou Chuanye is more suitable. Regardless of his qualifications, reputation, and ability,
They are all excellent candidates. They have also served as Minister of the Ministry of Works and are familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Works. They are the most suitable candidates. I hope Your Majesty will give you a thumbs up!"
As Li He finished speaking, all the "Zhou Party" officials were shocked and came out to express their support.
Seeing that the "Princeling Party" and "Zhou Party" were about to get into a dispute, Zhao Junchen decided that "Zhao Party" would no longer watch the show and winked at Zuo Lanshan.
So, Zuo Lanshan slowly walked out of the queue and expressed to the officials the support of the "Zhao Party" for the candidate and the "Zhao Party's" determination to win the Ministry of Industry!
