Both of them were stunned by His Majesty's question, and then He Shen was the first to reply: Your Majesty, I don't know why Prime Minister Yan is here, but I am actually here for His Majesty's dragon body.
Yan Song was stunned and turned to look at He Shen with a somewhat unbelievable look in his eyes.
Li Qian also looked at him with interest.
He Shen continued to explain: In the scorching heat of midsummer, I heard that Your Majesty was feeling unwell, so I brought an ancient jade to His Majesty. It is said that this jade was born in the ancient cold pool. It is the essence of cold water. Although it is cold, it will not hurt anyone. Origin: If you wear it on your body during the hot summer months, it can relieve your Majesty's heat.
His fat face was full of honest smile: I have brought it to Your Majesty, and it is now outside the palace.
Li Qian turned to look at the old eunuch, who nodded hurriedly, then trotted out to get a wooden box.
After opening it, a piece of crystal clear blue jade was lined inside. The moment the wooden box was opened, a cold air seemed to hit the face.
The old eunuch put his face up to it and smelled the stone carefully. He didn't seem to notice anything was wrong. Then he took a piece of silk and wrapped it in it and handed it to Li Qian.
He Shen introduced with a smile: Your Majesty, this thing can be worn around the neck and chest, or hung around the waist. However, it is best to separate it from brocade silk...
Li Qian held it in his hand, but he didn't feel that it was as powerful as He Shen said it could relieve summer heat. However, this thing was probably five or six degrees lower than the temperature in the palace, and he didn't feel it heat up even after holding it in his hand for a while. , which made Li Qian very confused.
He held it in his hand and looked up and down for a few times, but couldn't figure out the reason. Then he raised his head with a smile and looked at He Shen: He Qing's family, are you sure you want to give this to me?
Why do I think you need this more?
Your Majesty is busy with government affairs and takes care of everything. Naturally, Your Majesty needs you more...
He Shen said with a flattering smile: As for me, I have not been afraid of heat since I was a child. No matter how hot the weather is, I will be fine.
Li Qian smiled and nodded: Okay, then I'll accept it.
It is my blessing to be able to help His Majesty.
He Shen was obviously very happy and said with a smile: Your Majesty, I just don’t know why Prime Minister Yan is here?
Li Qian also turned his head.
Yan Song suppressed the thought of eating He Shen alive, and said with a smile: Now that I have finished talking to the Lord, let's go back first. The truth is that there are indeed some important things to report to His Majesty.
No problem.
He Shen pretended to be stupid and smiled and said: How about I stay here and listen? By the way, I will also help Prime Minister Yan with his advice.
Yan Song wanted to say something more, but Li Qian on the other side also said: Stay and listen, there are many ways to do it with more people.
Yes, Your Majesty.
The two of them responded in unison, and Yan Song continued: Your Majesty, what I want to say is the person who will succeed Cai Jing as Minister of Public Affairs.
The country cannot be without a prime minister for a day. The post of Minister and Servant is too important, and it cannot be vacant for a long time. It is probably too much work for me to handle the six government affairs alone with you.
When He Shen heard Yan Song mentioning himself, he nodded hastily: Your Majesty, I have little talent and little knowledge. If I just help Your Majesty take care of the entire six ministries for a few days, I can barely cope with it, but if I have to bear the burden of the entire six ministries, I will never be able to do it. Arrived.
It is still possible to hold on now, thanks to the help of Uncle Zong. But he came to help, after all, his name is not justified, and his words are not justified. I also ask your Majesty to elect Zuo Shangshu Pushe as soon as possible, so that the complicated matters of the six departments can be dealt with.
The meaning of He Shen's words was somewhat leaning towards Wang Mang. Yan Song's face darkened slightly. He Shen, the Minister of Public Affairs, was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Work, and Wang Mang was also one of his subordinates.
He recommended Wang Mang, and his intention is self-evident.
More importantly, Wang Mang has always been close to His Majesty the Emperor. Recommending him can please His Majesty the Emperor and make Him think that He Shen has the same idea as him.
Second, the success rate is relatively high. If Wang Mang really becomes a minister, he and Shen will be able to get the credit of recommendation, making Wang Mang owe a favor.
In fact, Yan Song also has suitable candidates here.
For example, two servants, Guan Peng, Yan Maoqing, Luo Longwen and others...
But ministers are always inferior compared to ministers, and officials of the third rank are inferior to officials of the second rank. What's more, Wang Mang is also a veteran of the court, with official reputation, reputation, qualifications, etc., all of which are not lacking.
It seems to be a natural thing for him to be appointed as a minister.
I also know that Shang Shu Pu She cannot remain vacant for long.
Facing these two people, Li Qian did not continue to beat around the bush: I have found a suitable candidate, and I originally planned to discuss it with the two Qing families in the near future.
He Shen and Yan Song looked at His Majesty the Emperor together, with a bit of surprise in their eyes.
I want to return to my former life and shoot Wang Banshan. What do you think?
he?
No need to recall, a figure with dirty clothes and slovenly appearance suddenly appeared in their minds... and the indelible influence he had brought to the court.
The palace was quiet for half a quarter of an hour, and He Shen still spoke with some embarrassment: Your Majesty, at this time, there are wars and chaos all over the country. If you act like Ban Shanggong, it will probably intensify the turmoil...
Yan Song continued to be silent for a while, and then said to Li Qian: Your Majesty, I also think what you said is reasonable.
No one can tell whether Banshangong's approach is good or bad, but I feel that it is inappropriate at this time.
After listening to their opinions, Li Qian was silent for a moment and said: I have also understood his political views. Many of them are very insightful, which I find refreshing.
In troubled times, heavy rules should be used. Do you think that with the current situation of corruption and collapse in Daqian, will it still be effective to follow the rules?
this……
He Shen hurriedly said: Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and given the time, it will be inevitable...
okay.
Li Qian waved his hand: "Heqing family, I have heard this kind of words from others countless times. I regard you as a humeral pillar. Do you want to say this kind of thing to fool me?"
I dare not... He Shen lowered his head again.
Seeing this, Yan Song swallowed back the words that had just come to his lips and said: Serious illnesses require strong medicines, but few people in the world have the courage to use strong medicines.
Now that your majesty is willing to reform the evils and cleanse the mountains and rivers of evil spirits, I must lead the horse and kick the horse to die for your majesty.
Li Qian nodded, sighed, and said to the two of them: I also know that the situation is critical now, so I won't let him mess around.
I will not approve his ideas until the rebellion in Jizhou is quelled.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief. He Shen paused for a moment, as if he suddenly thought of something: No matter what happens to His Majesty, I will naturally support him.
It's just that there are some adults in the court who are deeply prejudiced against Ban Shanggong. If His Majesty wants to revive him, I'm afraid there will be some twists and turns.
