Chapter 44: All parties plan the position of the minister
Cui Yixuan glanced at the other party and was silent for a while.
"What do you mean?"
"I think it's time for the Qinghe Cui family to change." Wang Gui said.
"Change?" Cui Yixuan sneered and said helplessly: "Of course I know this, and as the world becomes more and more stable, changes are bound to happen, but I am a low-key person in the clan, and no one will support me at all."
Wang Gui said: "Even so, you still have to work hard. You have also seen that the world has already emerged from the war. Today, your majesty, civilized and military, is better than his youth. As long as there is long-term peace and stability, the Tang Dynasty will be strong and prosperous.
.If you don’t change now, it will be too late when the Tang Dynasty fully rises. By then, if you have changed, you may not have your place in the court."
Cui Yixuan smiled bitterly and said: "Even if what you said is true, it is of no use. I am not afraid to tell you that the elders of the clan have no intention of letting the talented people in the clan become officials. They would rather continue farming and studying to inherit the family."
"But we have to do something, right?" Wang Gui said: "The new year is approaching, and it's been a long time since Brother Cui went back to see us."
Speaking of this, Cui Yixuan already understood Wang Gui's meaning, so he asked tentatively: "Brother Wang, are you here in compliance with His Majesty's order?"
"No." Wang Gui shook his head and said, "If that's what Your Majesty wants, just tell you directly. Why bother borrowing my words? I came today because I hope we won't be too far behind. We are already gradually losing our ability to speak.
Opportunity."
Hearing this, Cui Yixuan let out a long sigh.
"Perhaps what you said is right."
"Then what's your decision?"
"I plan to go back and take a look." Cui Yixuan made up his mind.
"Okay." Wang Gui said: "If you need anything, you might as well tell me. I will never refuse if I can help you."
"Thank you."
Royal Palace, Ganlu Hall.
Li Zhiyun looked at the various recommenders on the memorial and put it aside in boredom.
Whoever the Minister of Industry asks to do it is a matter of his words. But this sentence cannot be said randomly, otherwise it will cause unnecessary waves.
As an emperor, every word and action will be interpreted by officials, so he must be cautious.
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. If you cannot be an unpredictable tiger, sooner or later you will be studied thoroughly by the ministers, and then you will be tricked by the ministers.
Only mystery can make people fearful.
This is the case now, and all the ministers are testing the candidates in his mind.
At this moment, the noise outside came to his ears. Li Zhiyun felt a little strange, so he asked Gao Liangzhong, who was waiting next to him.
"What's going on outside?"
Gao Liangzhong replied: "It's the palace people who are arranging the New Year's affairs."
Li Zhiyun asked: "Is it going to be a big event this year?"
"The Queen has said that this year the world will be safe and peaceful, so we should do something about it so that the subjects can have fun together."
"Oh." Li Zhiyun stood up slowly and said, "Let's go to the harem."
"yes."
Fangfu.
Recently, the New Year is approaching, and Fang Xuanling is extremely busy, busy accepting the social scum sent to the Ministry of Justice from Dali Temple. As the New Year is approaching, the social scum must be dealt with, otherwise if the emperor asks, it will be a backlog of government affairs.
, need to be held accountable.
After taking a sip of hot soup, Fang Xuanling picked up the official document and read it again. He is now used to working overtime at home.
"Can't you take a break? I see you bring official documents with you every time you come back, and make your house look like your Penalty Department Yamen." Mrs. Lu complained from the side: "It's almost the New Year, why can't you take a rest?"
"It's not my criminal office, it's the imperial court." Fang Xuanling corrected his wife with a smile.
"Okay, okay, the Imperial Court's Criminal Department Yamen." Mrs. Lu said helplessly: "What are you doing so hard for? You are already a minister. Why don't you leave some things to your subordinates?"
Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I don't want to be lazy, it's that I can't. Master Zuo Pu She Du treated me very well, and His Majesty rewarded me constantly. How could you let me relax? Some time ago, Your Majesty couldn't do anything about it." Some people. The Ministry of Punishment cleared the prison, and the people below did not do their jobs well, which made me lose face in front of the courtiers."
Hearing this, Mrs. Lu didn't have anything to say. She just told him to rest and did not disturb him to continue handling government affairs.
Half an hour later, the servant came to report that Yu Zhining was here.
Fang Xuanling learned the news and went to greet him in person.
living room.
"Why are you free to come to my place today?" Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Zhongshu Province must not be easy these days."
"Oh, when will Zhongshu Province have such an easy time?" Yu Zhining sneered: "It goes without saying that Yang Gongren has some ability to deal with things. As for Li Shuliang... don't mention it."
In his opinion, Li Shuliang stayed in Zhongshu Province just to eat and wait for death, and was of no use at all. Whenever something happened, he, the assistant minister of Zhongshu, would definitely be the one to take charge.
As the Minister of Justice, Fang Xuanling knew a little bit about Li Shuliang's ability, so he looked sympathetically towards Zhining.
If you encounter an incompetent boss, you will indeed be busier than others.
"Why did you come here this time?" Fang Xuanling said, "If it's to pay New Year's greetings, it's too early." As he said that, he also teased.
Yu Zhining waved his hand, "I wish you a New Year's greetings? What are you thinking? My son's New Year's greetings are more than enough for you."
"Hahaha." Fang Xuanling laughed.
Yu Zhining said: "Xuanling, based on our friendship, I won't go round and round with you. Let's be honest. I'm here for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry."
"Are you interested in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry?" Fang Xuanling put down the tea cup with a hint of solemnity in her tone.
"Yes, I do intend to." Yu Zhining nodded and said: "Firstly, I will not achieve much if I continue to stay in Zhongshu Province. Secondly, His Majesty pays more and more attention to the Six Ministries. If I can leave the Six Ministries, I will be better off in the future. Some."
Fang Xuanling did not agree to him immediately, but said: "You should know that although we were enabled by His Majesty, the people from the former Shence Mansion are actually very wary of us, as well as the people from the original Li Jiancheng. What's more, His Majesty's side , our words may not be effective.”
"I know all this." Yu Zhining said: "But I have to do it. You also know what Guan Long's situation is now. If I don't make progress, I will be in a worrying situation."
The current court is no longer the same as that of the late emperor. There were three provinces and six ministries, and there were too few Guanlong people in high positions.
There are even fewer people who can represent the interests of the Guanlong nobles.
"Does Your Majesty know that you think so?" Fang Xuanling said in embarrassment. His hidden meaning was, don't you know that His Majesty suppressed the Guanlong people?
Yu Zhining was a smart man and quickly understood what Fang Xuanling meant, so he sighed.
"Why don't I know this, but I can't help it. The Yu family, Dou family, Dugu family and other families are all in silence now. If I don't do anything anymore, I'm afraid..." Yu Zhining shook his head and sighed. .
Fang Xuanling pursed her lips and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I hope you can help me test His Majesty's intentions. If Your Majesty really doesn't want me to enter the Ministry of Industry, then I won't force it. If, I mean if, Your Majesty doesn't explicitly object, I will do everything I can to get it.
."
Fang Xuanling thought for a moment and replied: "Okay, I will find an opportunity to ask you."
"Xuanling, thank you!" Yu Zhining clasped his fists.
"It doesn't have to be like this. You and I have come here together." Fang Xuanling said, "I will try my best to help you."
"good."
After Yu Zhining left, Fang Xuanling sighed.
The Yu family is not for the Minister of Industry, they are for the position of Prime Minister in the future.
Who doesn't know that His Majesty likes to promote ministers from the six ministries to the political hall.
