After weighing it for a while, Liu E was quite satisfied with this candidate.
"This is a good choice."
"Tomorrow there will be a meeting in the Chengming Palace. The officials can listen to the opinions of the courtiers."
Liu E is well versed in the way of government, and it involves the selection of the three ministers. Even if she is satisfied with a certain courtier in her heart, she will not speak rashly.
Such matters should obviously be suggested by the courtiers, so that no matter how she responds, she can have room for maneuver.
'Although Sixth Brother has grown up a lot, his skills are still a little immature.'
In a different place, if it were herself, Liu E would never reveal her inclination easily.
Leaving some space appropriately can be said to have endless uses.
On the other side, seeing Liu E asking him to participate in tomorrow's court meeting, Li Jie couldn't help but smile.
His purpose was achieved.
"Advancing rashly" was something he deliberately revealed. Being young and mature is certainly a good thing for the emperor.
But acting too mature would inevitably arouse Liu E's suspicion.
Being appropriately radical would be more in line with his age.
Immediately afterwards, Li Jie chatted with Liu E for a while, and seeing the night getting darker, he took the initiative to say goodbye.
…
…
…
Two days later.
Chengming Hall.
The three envoys were in charge of the imperial government's finances and held high positions, so there were naturally certain standards for their selection.
Generally speaking, there are two ways to select the three envoys.
One is to remove the recipients by special decree, that is, the emperor personally appoints them by decree. However, the special decree to remove the recipients is decided by the emperor. If it happens too many times, it will inevitably have a bad impact.
Therefore, the number of special envoys except the appointment of three ministers is not many.
Tang Dynasty is the main method. The word "Tang" in Tang Dynasty refers to the political affairs hall where government affairs are discussed under Zhongshu's family. Tang Dynasty is appointed by the ministers of the two governments.
Of course, the person to be expelled must also be approved by the emperor.
This method is probably like a group meeting in the future. The chairman wants to select a key person, and then the president and others below will select several candidates.
Finally, there is a meeting to discuss and make a collective decision.
Lu Yijian was originally not included in the list of personnel for today's court meeting. After all, he is now the official magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion and has not yet entered Zhongshu.
But today he appeared in Chengming Hall.
The reason is that he is one of the candidates for the third envoy.
There are rigid conditions for the selection of the three ministers, and the level must be above the fifth rank of the two provinces (Zhongshu, Menxia) and Zhizhigao, miscellaneous bachelor, and bachelor.
At the same time, you can also recall the prime ministers and ministers who are away from home.
With level restrictions, the scope of candidates is greatly reduced.
Although Lu Yijian's current official (Jilu Guan) is a doctor of the Ministry of Justice (Shang Shu Sheng, from the fifth rank), he does not meet the qualifications for appointment as a third minister.
But that's not the point.
According to the regulations on official transfer, Lu Yijian could move up one or two levels, and his official position would then be to advise the officials on the left and right.
The two provincial officials were responsible for admonishing the officials.
There is another reason why Lu Yijian's face is so dark today. It was not Wang Zeng who recommended him as the third envoy, but Ding Wei!
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the mission of the Third Secretary is a hot potato.
As early as when he learned that Li Shiheng had resigned, Lu Yijian met with Wang Zeng. The two agreed that it was best not to touch the position of the third envoy.
Although the Third Secretary Envoy holds a high position of authority, it is not appropriate to get involved at this juncture.
Therefore, the candidate recommended by Wang Zeng was Zhang Shixun.
But during the discussion in the political hall, Ding Wei brought him a big surprise.
Ding Wei directly recommended Lu Yijian by name.
Most of the current ministers of the two governments are Ding Wei's partisans. Even if Wang had deliberately opposed it, he could not change this result.
In the end, Lu Yijian was on the candidate list.
In addition to Lu Yijian, there are two other people on the list, one is Zhang Shixun and the other is Li Shen.
About a quarter of an hour later, Liu E took Li Jie to Chengming Hall. After the routine etiquette was over, Liu E looked around and got straight to the point.
"The third envoy is responsible for the country's great plans. The day before yesterday, the former third envoy Li Shiheng asked him to serve because he was ill. I thought that Mr. Li Qing was loyal to the country and allowed him to serve."
"I read the letter submitted to the Political Affairs Hall yesterday and found that everyone on the list is a top choice."
"The purpose of calling all the ministers here today is to discuss the candidates for the new three envoys."
"Your Majesty, you can speak freely."
After saying this, Liu E turned her attention to Ding Wei, obviously she wanted to hear Ding Wei's opinion first.
Ding Wei sat on the chair and cupped his hands slightly.
"I recommend him to be a direct bachelor of Longtuge, a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment, and the right to know Lu Yijian of Kaifeng Prefecture."
"The late emperor once praised Lu Longtu for his love for the country and the people."
"Lü Longtu has been an official for more than twenty years. He has served as a people-friendly official, a supervisor, an imperial censor, and an attendant. He has been the top choice in all examinations. He has a rich resume and outstanding abilities."
"My lord, I believe that Lu Longtu is the perfect choice for the third envoy!"
Ding Wei's words simply praised Lu Yijian to great effect. If he didn't understand the situation, he would probably think that Lu Yijian was his.
However, in fact, among the two ministers present here, who are the attendants, who knows the relationship between Lu Yijian and Ding Wei?
The two are clearly not the same person!
Under such circumstances, Ding Wei strongly recommended Lu Yijian. It was definitely not because Ding Wei valued talents, but probably because there was a pitfall in it.
The hole has been dug, and they are just waiting for Lu Yijian to jump down or be pushed down.
Here, as soon as Ding Wei finished speaking, Ren Zhongzheng, the counselor and political official on the side, spoke in agreement.
"The late emperor visited Luoyang and once stayed in the palace of Lu Wenmu Gongzheng (Lu Mengzheng). He asked: Which of the ministers can be used?"
"Lü Wen and Mu Gong said to him: All the disciples are of no use, and my nephew Yi Jian is appointed as the official of Yingzhou, and he is the prime minister!"
After saying this, Ren Zhongzheng shut his mouth. Although he did not express his attitude clearly, he moved out the late emperor and Lu Mengzheng one after another.
Its meaning is self-evident.
The late emperor once praised it highly, and Lu Mengzheng also strongly recommended it. If not Lu Yijian, who else should I choose?
As the two people spoke one after another, Lu Yijian's heart suddenly became more and more bitter.
Now he is simply being roasted on the fire.
The higher it is pushed at this time, the harder it will fall in the future.
Lu Yijian had great ambitions, and his goal was always Zhongshu. Although the three ministers were called "jixiang", the Jixiang was just a jixiang, not the real prime minister.
Tea method is like a big muddy river, no one knows what is hidden under the water.
Now that he takes over as the Third Secretary-General, he will face only two consequences.
First, if it is done well, the Queen Mother will be satisfied, and some northern officials will also be satisfied, but this will definitely expose a large number of related households.
Although this group of people are not in the court, their influence is no less than that of some important ministers.
If he offends them, how can he be as good as him in the future?
Second, it was a mess.
Such a result is also intolerable to Lu Yijian. He is now only one step away from moving into Zhongshu.
This step is very important and should not be ignored easily.
Otherwise, he didn't know how long he would have to wait before he could take a step further.
