Needless to say, almost all the officials in the palace were surprised by his words, but considering that Su Zongshan was the prime minister, they did not dare to make a loud noise. They only whispered behind him, like mosquitoes chirping.
It was unclear, but it made Su Zongshan even more nervous.
The prince was also shocked for a moment. It took him a long time to regain his composure and looked at Ming Huiguang with dull eyes: "Ming Qing...what do you have to say?"
Immediately afterwards, dozens of pairs of eyes followed the prince's gaze, either worried or questioning, with various expressions. However, Ming Huiguang didn't seem to take any of this to heart. He held his head high and held his chest high.
After getting out of the class train, he looked forward with vigour, and knelt down neatly in front of the palace: "I am very grateful to Prime Minister Su for his appreciation.
For the honor of the minister. However, the power lies with the Crown Prince and His Majesty, and Ming is just following orders. But if this burden is given to the minister, the minister will do his best to live up to the emperor's favor!" After saying this, he raised his head,
The excitement in his eyes was beyond words, but it was not the desire for fame and wealth, but more of the enthusiasm spurred by longing.
Faced with this complicated situation, the prince's thoughts were completely confused. How could he listen to his answer? He thought hard and couldn't think of the reason why Su Zongshan did this, so he agreed a few times and turned to ask Su.
Zongshan: "Although this man belongs to a prominent family and is commendable for his loyalty, he is appointed as a minister and then as a minister. Is there anything wrong with him?"
As soon as the prince finished speaking, the people who had passed by Hunan impatiently stepped forward to speak, but Chen Tongpao grabbed him and persuaded him in a low voice: "Sixing, please wait, I know what you are going to do. But Su Zongshan
Now there are many party members who can compete with us. If you really argue with him, won't you be turning friends into enemies?" The people of Hunan accepted this unwillingly.
At this time, Su Zongshan had already reported: "Your Highness, the Minister of Ming Dynasty is talented and learned. It is reasonable to promote him faster. He can promote our court's respect for the virtuous. I think that this man is worried about the world and is spotless. The Ministry of Punishment has repeatedly judged him in recent years.
Anyone who can clearly discern the details of any major case has a lot to do with him as an official. Today's recommendation, even if you have other opinions, I will not change my opinion."
"What opinions do we have?" Cai Xianqing shouted as he walked out and glanced around, "We fully support Prime Minister Su!"
After Ye Yongjia and the two officials from the Ministry of Industry heard this, they also responded: "His Royal Highness Fu Wang recommended Ming Huiguang to be the provincial minister!" When all the officials saw it, they all looked horrified, even Zeng Liang, who was always known for his "loyalty and uprightness".
He remained silent in the crowd, only looking left and right vigilantly to observe the current trends.
Seeing that there was no one to oppose him, the prince became more and more curious. He raised his neck and looked again, but it was the same situation. He had no other choice but to say to everyone: "Since there is no one to recommend others, then choose Ming Huiguang."
I will be appointed as the Secretary of the Ministry of Education, and I will be added to the post of participating in politics!" After saying that, he winked at the eunuchs beside him, and several young eunuchs carried a square table, grinded the ink, laid it on paper, and allowed the prince to write the memorial.
"This is a memorial recommending the Minister of the Ming Dynasty to join the Secretariat of the Central Government." The prince folded the written document and showed it to everyone. "If you agree, please write your name below and say Chen in the couplet."
The young eunuch respectfully accepted the order and ordered the ministers to write in turn. The prince stared at the memorial paper closely, but there were more and more names written on it, densely packed, such as 'Chen Tongpao', 'Zeng Liang', '
Ye Yongjia'...these important ministers of the imperial court were all without exception, except for a few who still stood still and refused to sign.
With all kinds of doubts, the prince put away the memorial, immediately ordered everyone to retreat from the court, and returned to the palace to prepare to present himself to the emperor.
"Master Chen."
Tongpao Chen was walking slowly on the corridor leading to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. When he turned around, he saw Ge Mingwei, the newly appointed Censor Zhongcheng, standing upright under the arch.
"Oh, what's the matter with you?" Tongpao Chen bowed from a distance.
Ge Mingwei walked forward and gradually showed a worried face: "Mr. Chen, it is inexplicable that Ming Huiguang can be elected in today's meeting. Seeing that Ye Yongjia is so supportive, he must be one of his party members. Why are you?
Why don’t you fight?”
Tongpao Chen said with a smile: "You don't have to say it like that. Based on his opinion, I'm afraid we will also be regarded as forming a clique for selfish gain."
Ge Mingwei raised his sword eyebrows and said: "No! Although we are forming a party, we are not selfish. We are doing it to benefit the world and implement the way of saints. We are what the world calls a party of gentlemen, gathering together based on morality. As for Ye Yongjia,
I also have
From what I hear, what I do in daily life is that although I keep talking about promoting the people and the country, I still want to use the name of innovation to destroy the current government, and my discussions are extremely extreme, without any honesty and fairness at all! This sage's book has probably been learned from the dog's belly!"
"Your argument is also wrong."
"Where did I... go wrong?"
As Chen Tongpao walked, he said: "The so-called gentleman's party never competes with villains for any interests, sees people being arrogant but does not complain, sees people being proud but does not get angry, there is only one word for it, 'straight'
"If you speak angrily today, it will not only destroy the harmony of the court, but also offend others. This is not how a gentleman should behave."
"Mr. Chen is so noble and upright," Ge Mingwei looked at him like a saint, with tears in his eyes and his fists clenched tighter, "I sincerely admire you! Ge Ming has been in office for so many years.
I just lament that the world has declined and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be. I finally found a true Confucian scholar and a true gentleman like you. I will see the rule of sages in this life! Please accept my next bow!"
As he was about to kneel down, Tongpao Chen quickly grabbed him, patted his arm and said, "My lord, I accept your sincerity. But when you kneel, you can only kneel to heaven, kneel to the ground, kneel to your parents, and kneel to the emperor."
, I absolutely cannot bear it.”
Why was Ge Ming willing to go against his words? He stood up straight and said a few more words of gratitude. Chen Tongpao responded with a smile and then said goodbye.
Chen Tongpao returned to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and saw a Hunanese sitting in the second hall with a dark and sullen face. He suddenly knew what was on his mind, so he asked intentionally: "Why is Si Xing so depressed?"
The Guoxiang man slowly raised his head: "Why did you indulge Prime Minister Su at that time? If you say it was for the sake of the harmony of your colleagues, it would be too much. Since Su Zongshan has been unjust, we should also retaliate. Do you want to
Watching them fall to the Ye Party?"
Tongpao Chen remembered the conversation he had just had with Ge Mingwei, but at this time he changed his words: "Sixing is very shrewd, but it's a pity that he didn't think it through thoroughly. We have excepted the Liu Party and have taken over all their power.
It is in the ascendant, and we have to be on guard when our achievements are high and the master is shaken. Now if we can cut off the flames of this development and take the initiative to eliminate the momentum, we will be fine."
"Then you are not afraid of the success of the Ye Party?"
Tongpao Chen smiled coldly: "I understand this." This chapter has been completed!
