After reading the entire memorial, Zhao Si couldn't bear to put it down. He secretly decided to make a copy and study it carefully if he had the opportunity.
Xing Shu's ability to frame and criticize has reached its peak.
The method is extremely ruthless, and one hit is sure to hit! After that, he also helped me think up the reasons for dealing with the political opponents.
What a talent!
But if Xing Shu is just ruthless and cruel to others and himself, how can he deserve his five-star rating?
What's even more outstanding about him is his extremely accurate vision and his ability to tolerate and make choices.
Of course Xing Shu knew that the reason why he was reprimanded was because of Zhang Dun. He also knew that the emperor brother could not do without Zhang Dun now and needed to rely on him to continue to implement Xining's new law.
Therefore, Xing Shu knew that no matter how he tried to frame and criticize Zhang Dun, he would be bringing humiliation upon himself.
So he endured his bad breath and targeted Zhang Dun's most important ally, Shangshu Zuocheng Cai Bian.
Zhao Si had read in a tabloid that someone jokingly said that in the current dynasty, it is Cai Bianxin and Zhang Dunkou.
Many people regarded it as a joke, but Zhao Si looked through the records and documents related to the removal of officials and was surprised to find that most of the people recommended by Zhang Dun were related to Cai Bian.
After the Sixth Brother took over the throne, almost all the officials who had fled since Shaosheng were led by Zhang Dun to shake the emperor's mind, and then Cai Bian came out to make the final decision.
It can be seen from these that Cai Bian is Zhang Dun's think tank. In other words, Zhang Dun has courage and means, and is good at execution; Cai Bian is thoughtful and good at planning.
Zhao Si also discovered Zhang’s plan to “control the leadership”.
Zhang Dun was in charge of Menxia Province, and Li Qingchen was in charge of Zhongshu Province, controlling the center. Together with Shangshu Zuocheng Cai Bian and Shangshu Youcheng Huang Fu, they controlled the six departments of Shangshu Province as deputy prime ministers, thus jointly upholding the government.
However, Huang Fu's reputation and talents were far inferior to Cai Bian. In Zhangdang and Shangshu Province, Huang Fu's role and status were far lower than Cai Bian.
Xing Shu understood the mystery and knocked Cai Bian down with a memorial, which was equivalent to cutting off Zhang Dun's most powerful arm with a knife.
Zhang Dang was severely damaged.
Haha, it’s just as I expected. Xing Shu is really not someone to be trifled with. Even if he is reprimanded, he still wants to bite off a big chunk of Zhang Dun’s flesh.
Thinking of this, Zhao Si couldn't help but feel lucky that his predecessor Zhao Si had not been impeached at such a high level, otherwise the grass on his grave would have been ten feet high.
Seeing Zhao Si put the memorial back on the table after reading it, the official spoke.
"Brother Thirteen, this party dispute has started again, which is really distressing."
"Brother Six, asking civil servants to change their nature of fighting among themselves is like asking dogs to eat shit." At this point, Zhao Si slapped his mouth a few times, "Brother Six, I spoke vulgarly and stained your mouth.
ear."
"Haha, there's nothing vulgar about us brothers talking to each other. I also think your words are a relief."
Zhao Si was happy.
It seems that the emperor's brother has been annoyed by these pretentious civil servants in the past.
"Brother Thirteen, how do you think this vacancy should be filled?"
It turned out that the purpose of the emperor's brother's visit to him was to discuss how to fill the vacancy of Yushi Zhongcheng and Shangshu Zuocheng.
I felt a little excited in my heart. My hard work these days was really not in vain.
His status in the eyes of the emperor's brother has skyrocketed, and he can participate in such important personnel arrangements.
Stay calm and don’t get carried away!
Be cautious!
First think about why the emperor came to discuss this matter with me?
It should be that he was hesitant for a while when there were multiple candidates for these two official positions.
This involves internal fighting within the party, and the emperor's brother will definitely not ask the opinions of Zhang Dun, Zeng Bu and other ministers involved. That's why he called himself here to listen to the opinions of his most trusted brother.
You must seize the opportunity, carefully consider it, and come up with suitable candidates who will not only conform to his ideas but also bring you the greatest benefit.
Zhao Si first thought about the suitable candidates for Zuocheng, the Minister of the Manchu Dynasty.
Zeng Bu’s reputation, qualifications and talents are all sufficient.
But Zhao Si was the first to eliminate him.
If the imperial brother wanted to use him, he would have moved him from the Privy Council long ago. His role is more to warn and contain Zhang Dun.
Secondly, pushing Zeng Bu up is not in line with his own interests. This old and cunning guy will only wait for a price and will not stand on his side sincerely.
Li Qingchen? Impossible. He is from the same position and is on an equal footing with Zhang Dun.
General Xu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, lacks both reputation and qualifications. Moreover, he is now on the same level as Zhang Dun.
Zhang Dun couldn't stop Zeng Bu, but it was still very easy to snipe General Xu.
Cai Jing, the Minister of Household Affairs, is capable enough and has barely reached the level of fame and qualifications. But he just removed his brother Cai Bian and turned around to promote him to fill the position?
Are you polite?
Brother Six is not that confused either.
The rest, including Lin Xi and An Tao, ministers of the Privy Council, and Zhang Shangying, a member of the Zhongshushe...etc., either lacked qualifications or lacked reputation.
or...
Zhao Si suddenly realized a problem.
Whether these people have enough reputation or qualifications is important only when looking at them from the bottom up. But from the perspective of the imperial brother, is this a big deal?
Then what the emperor is worried about is not his fame and qualifications, but that these people cannot defeat Zhang Dun!
So who are the ministers of the Reform Party who were able to fight Zhang Dun and were exiled?
Of course it’s Lu Huiqing, the master of internal fighting!
If the New Party boss, who has been expelled from the court for twenty years, wants to shine again, he must have strong foreign support.
There is a chance for me and him to join forces.
"Sixth brother, after much thought, I feel that Lord Lu of Yan'an Prefecture is suitable to take over as Minister Zuocheng."
Zhao Si said.
The official stared at the table, hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded slowly.
It seems that the foreshadowing I laid in the emperor's heart before has worked.
"Then Yushi Zhongcheng, who do you think Thirteenth Brother is suitable for?"
"Sixth brother, please don't ask me. As for Lu Gong, my thoughts are like boiling a kettle. As for the censor Zhongcheng, sixth brother should think for himself."
Listening to Zhao Si's complaint, Guan Jia laughed, and the gloom on his face was wiped away.
Liang Congzheng, who was standing nearby, glanced at Zhao Si with admiration.
Nowadays, the only foreign minister who can easily make the officials happy is His Royal Highness King Jian.
The friendship with him can be deepened.
The officials still wouldn't let Zhao Si go.
"If I can't come up with a candidate, I can make a suggestion."
Zhao Si scratched the back of his head, held it in for a while, and finally choked out a sentence.
"Sixth brother, Yushi Zhongcheng, is the head of the admonishment officials. Uprightness and uprightness should be the first priority."
The official nodded solemnly, feeling that Zhao Si's words made sense. Following this line of thinking, he began to think of suitable candidates.
Think about it carefully. But brother, I guarantee that you will not be able to find a suitable candidate among the ministers of the court.
Perhaps it is because they are conservative and old-fashioned, but the Conservatives are very good at controlling their temperament.
He is upright and honest, loyal and strict, and has an excellent reputation.
In contrast, most of the New Party members are capable ministers and officials, but they are obviously not as good as the Conservatives in terms of "uprightness and integrity".
Brother Emperor, if you follow my line of thinking, you will definitely end up with the old party.
Sure enough, the official's eyes began to look a little confused.
"Thirteen, who is the model of uprightness and integrity in your heart?"
These days, officials have unknowingly formed the habit of asking Thirteenth Brother if he has any doubts, and he always gets an answer that makes his eyes light up.
"Fan Wenzhenggong! His saying, "Be anxious when the world is worried first, and be happy when the world is happy later" is a true saying throughout the ages."
Zhao Si blurted out. This chapter has been completed!
