When the war came, one of the three envoys was dismissed in court, which undoubtedly cast a shadow over the court meeting.
In fact, Ding Wei should have stood up at this time, even if he just said a few words.
After all, everyone knew that Zu Shiheng was Ding Wei's son.
But Ding Wei did not do this.
At first, Ding Wei did not dare to have a head-on collision with the officials.
Secondly, he also felt that Zu Shiheng was a bit useless.
What a major event is the transportation of grain and grass, but as the Third Secretary, you can't remember it?
Deserve to be dismissed!
With this excuse, it was reasonable for him not to come forward, and no one could say it was wrong.
"Fan Qing?"
Immediately, Li Jie turned his eyes and looked at Fan Yong, the deputy envoy of the Third Division.
"The day before yesterday, the grain collected from the Jiangnan area had just arrived in the capital and was immediately transported to the front along the waterway."
"..."
"..."
"So far, the three companies have allocated a total of 100,000 stones of grain and grass to be transported along the Hebei border. According to the itinerary, it is expected that the grain and grass will arrive smoothly in half a month."
Fan Yong's previous assignment was to transport envoys from Shaanxi, and as Shaanxi is one of the northwest frontiers, the envoys were originally responsible for transporting grain and grass.
Therefore, Fan Yong was very familiar with matters such as transporting grain and grass.
It is precisely because of this that Zu Shiheng left the matter of allocating grain and grass to Fan Yong.
At this moment, after hearing Fan Yong's answer, Zu Shiheng was in trouble and couldn't express his feelings.
He is wrong!
Really wrong!
Even if he trusted Fan Yong, he shouldn't let him go completely.
If he hadn't been too negligent, how could he have lost his official position in court?
In fact, losing one's official position is not the most terrifying thing.
Once the news of today's court discussion spreads, his ancestor Shiheng will probably become the laughing stock of the official circles in the future.
Even if the officials change their minds in the future and want to transfer him back to Beijing, he will not have the face to come back.
It's a pity that Zu Shiheng didn't know at all, he was just overthinking it.
What really caused him to lose his official position was not his neglect of paying attention to the transportation of grain and grass.
This is just a symptom.
Furthermore, it is because he is not capable enough.
Going a little deeper, it is due to factional issues. Nowadays, scholars from the south are more powerful in central and central Korea, and both prime ministers are from southern scholars.
The third division has important responsibilities and can no longer be controlled by the Southern Department.
This was also what Ding Wei and Lu Yijian knew, and they both realized this.
However, the two of them are in completely different moods now.
Fan Yong's eldest son Fan Zongjie married Chen Yaozuo's daughter, while Lu Yijian and Chen Yaosou were both Ma Liang's sons-in-law.
Chen Yaozuo and Chen Yaosou were brothers, and with their in-laws as a bond, Fan Yong was naturally a member of Lu Yijian's lineage.
Therefore, Lu Yijian was feeling quite excited at the moment. Although Fan Yong had been the deputy envoy of the Third Division before, the gap between the first and second in command was unknown.
And what about Ding Wei?
Most of my heart is full of regrets.
Sansi, lost!
Financial power eventually fell into the hands of northern scholars.
In his opinion, this is the official balancing strategy.
However, no matter what others think, these are not the real reasons why Zu Shiheng lost his official position.
There is only one real reason.
Zu Shiheng's performance aroused Li Jie's dissatisfaction.
This is it, I am the world!
"Very good, this is what our Emperor Song Dynasty's ministers look like."
After hearing Fan Yong's answer, Li Jie nodded slightly and expressed his appreciation.
"After Zu Qing leaves office, Fan Qing will take over the post of Third Secretary Envoy."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the ministers present were shocked.
Especially Fan Yong himself, he stood there in a daze.
Generally speaking, the selection and appointment of the three envoys are divided into special emissaries and hall emissaries.
Last time, Zu Shiheng was appointed as the third envoy, although it was also named by officials, and Zu Shiheng was not originally on the list of people to be expelled.
But no matter what, the last selection of the three envoys went through a serious process.
But, what about this time?
There is no expulsion process!
Instead, the officials announced it directly in front of the ruling ministers!
From the perspective of a scholar and doctor, what is this?
The implication is simply that I have finished my appointment.
Who agrees?
Who objects?
At this moment, if Wang Zeng were present, he would definitely object in court.
But Wang Zeng is not here. He is far away in Yanzhou and has no idea about this matter.
Fan Yong himself was opposed to it, but he was the third envoy and the prime minister.
Calculation is also a phase.
Who among the officials doesn’t want to make progress?
Now, he doesn't need to do anything. As long as he acquiesces, he will most likely be able to take the position of Third Secretary.
Faced with this situation, how many people in the world can resist the temptation?
On the other side, Xue Kui wanted to come forward, but just when he was about to speak out, he received a signal from Lu Yijian.
Lu Yijian couldn't be more familiar with the official family in front of him.
No one can object to what the officials decide.
It is true that one word is the law of the world!
Lu Yijian, Fan Yong, and Xue Kui all made no move. Ding said that Wang Qinruo and the others would not speak out against it.
After all, they made their fortune by catering to their superiors.
How could they lose their housekeeping skills?
…
…
…
About a quarter of an hour later, all the ministers stepped out of Chengming Hall one after another.
At this time, the expressions on their faces were almost the same, and they all looked puzzled.
This court meeting today is very strange!
What was the original theme of this court meeting?
It's a battle on the front line!
The front line had just lost a county town, so the officials just asked about the dispatch of grain and grass as a routine matter, and then the conversation changed to the selection of the imperial army.
Later, the officials asked about the transportation of taxes from various states.
These issues seem to be closely related to the war.
But if you think about it carefully, these are not the core issues!
front!
front!
The front line is the key!
But the officials didn't have any problem with it, and even the matter of losing the city was passed over lightly.
If something goes wrong, you will become a monster!
"Vice-Chairman Cao, please stay."
No, as soon as he walked out of Chengming Hall, Lu Yijian called out to Cao Wei.
Not only that, the eyes of several other ministers also fell on Cao Wei.
Cao Wei can be said to have been promoted by officials.
In addition, Wang Deyong's younger brother Wang Deji is Cao Wei's son-in-law. Both the Wang family and the Cao family are from general families, and their relationship is much closer than others imagine.
Therefore, Lu Yijian, who was full of doubts, wanted to ask Cao Wei for his opinion to clear up his confusion.
"Lu Shenzheng."
Hearing this, Cao Wei stopped and showed no expression on the surface, but he smiled bitterly in his heart.
He knew what Lu Yijian wanted to ask.
Moreover, he also knew why the officials did not pay much attention to the front line.
But he can't say this without the official's permission!
"Vice-Chairman Cao, will you have time after resigning?"
"You are a famous general in our dynasty. Regarding the war in the north, I would like to ask Vice-Cao Cao for your advice."
"Don't take it as advice!" Cao Wei shook his head repeatedly: "We should discuss it with each other."
Although Cao Wei agreed with the invitation, he had already made a decision in his heart.
During this appointment, he could only pretend to be confused.
