Because one Yunxia treasure ship returned from the south, it became particularly lively.
Hundreds of officials from the Southern Patrol Division returned to Beijing to report on their duties. Such a battle was truly unprecedented.
However, a definite date for the debriefing has not yet been determined.
It involves 13 governors, 120 councilors, and more than 300 chief ministers.
So many people have made great achievements in the south, and the transfer of official positions after returning, including future promotion changes, is a big problem.
There have been many quarrels in the court because of the arrangements made by these people.
Each department and government office in the capital is basically a carrot and a pit. Now that it involves so many official position arrangements, many officials in the Ministry of Personnel are already overwhelmed.
Among them, the most uncertain one is Li Changan.
There are thirteen governors and the other twelve basically do not need to be changed.
Because their official positions are high enough, their achievements in the south will become the foundation for their future promotions, and they won't need to use them for the time being.
There are also traces of promotions for other officials in the Southern Patrol Division.
Only Li Changan had only taught arithmetic in the academy before.
After returning from the battlefield of Fengchuan Three Thousand Miles, he was awarded the title of Uncle Zhongyong.
But he still doesn't have any official position.
During the disaster relief in the south, he directly became the thirteenth governor of the town, and later made great contributions to the world, ranking first among all the officials of the southern patrol department.
His meritorious deeds are firmly remembered on the merit monument and no one can erase them.
What official position should be given to him now is a matter of endless debate in the court.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony,
Gao Ji, the doctor from the household department, took a step forward first and said,
"Uncle Zhongyong made outstanding achievements in providing disaster relief in the south. The official believes that the court should give him a heavy reward."
As soon as this statement came out, it was approved by many people.
"Yes, Uncle Zhongyong's achievements in the south are obvious to all. If there are no matching rewards, the majesty of the imperial court in the hearts of the people will be affected."
The first person to respond was none other than Song Siren's father, Song Renfu, the minister of Dali Temple.
"Reporting to the Empress, Uncle Zhongyong has helped the Southern Patrol Division to establish the general policy for disaster relief since the beginning of the disaster relief work in the south."
Zeng Wanlian, the Minister of Household Affairs, said:
"After that, he worked very hard and worked at the forefront of disaster relief. With such talent in governing the world, I believe that he should be reused. This is the blessing of our great Jin Dynasty."
Several important officials in the imperial court were speaking, and many other officials immediately followed suit.
Li Changan took care of the children of many of them in the south, and this favor must be repaid.
There are many people who support the imperial court's reuse of Li Chang'an, but at the same time, there are also equal numbers of people who oppose it.
The more powerful Li Changan is in the south, the more people he offends.
Officials from one county were beheaded and countless homes were raided.
How can such a character enter the court?
Isn't this looking for trouble for yourself?
"Empress, I believe that Uncle Zhongyong is just at a young age and needs training. If he suddenly ascends to a high position, it will be harmful to Uncle Zhongyong."
She Yunkai, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, said.
"Yes, what Sir She said is true. Uncle Zhongyong is young and promising, but his temperament is a bit impetuous. He still needs experience. After experience, entrusting him with important tasks will better reflect the court's love and care."
Cai Huaitao, the right minister of the Ministry of War, also echoed.
Even though they belong to different ministries, many people have the same goal when it comes to targeting Li Changan.
Li Changan must not be allowed to stay in the capital.
Otherwise, once the new division is officially launched, Li Changan's position will be truly unbreakable.
He must be stopped and his upward momentum slowed down.
Otherwise, it would only be possible to soar to the sky today, and trying to control it later would be tantamount to wishful thinking.
Both sides hold their own opinions, and what they say makes sense.
One side believes that Li Changan has made great achievements and the court should entrust him with important tasks;
The other party also agreed with this point of view, but said that they should hone their skills first and then reward them.
Both groups have important officials in charge, and no one can suppress the other. The whole Hall of Supreme Harmony becomes more and more lively.
On the dragon chair, Queen Dugu Zhao had a trace of sarcasm in her eyes, but she did not show it, she just watched quietly.
She was also struggling with how Li Changan should reward him.
…
After the dynasty dispersed,
Dugu Zhao returned to the imperial study, took off his makeup, and wore only a white floor-length skirt. He looked at the portrait of Li Changan in front of him, slightly narrowed his red and phoenix eyes, and murmured to himself,
"If such a talent can be used by me, why not give him a high position?"
"But if you build an uncontrolled mountain, the gains outweigh the losses..."
"Li Changan, Li Changan, why do you have such talent for governing the world at such a young age? It's really hard to make a choice..."
Dugu Zhao stood up slowly and walked around the imperial study room. After a long time, he said, "Here comes someone."
Not long after, Qi Shanhai arrived quietly, "I'm here to see the queen."
"Go and check this Li Changan again. Find out everything he has done from birth to now."
Dugu Zhao said.
Qi Shanhai respectfully accepted the order, "Yes, I obey the order."
At the same time, a group of ministers left the Hall of Supreme Harmony and headed to various government offices.
on the road,
Zeng Wanlian found Gao Jixian, who was the first to speak in the court, "It's rare for Jixian to speak for Li Changan."
Gao Ji bowed quickly, then smiled and said, "Sir, what are you talking about?"
"If Uncle Zhongyong can join our household department and build a new department, it will be a blessing for our household department. How can I not speak for Uncle Zhongyong?"
Zeng Wanlian glanced at Gao Jixian, then smiled meaningfully and patted Gao Jixian on the shoulder.
On the other side, the court officials who had been rebutting before gathered together.
"Li Changan must not be allowed to gain a foothold in the capital."
"Otherwise, we will become our formidable enemy."
"That's right! Once Li Changan gains a foothold, who can stop him? And with his temperament, it wouldn't be surprising if he swings a knife over our heads one day."
"He also wants to create a new department in the Ministry of Household Affairs. This matter has nothing to do with you and me. We must not let him get it done."
"Otherwise it will only increase his arrogance."
She Yunkai said to Ning Hanqing, the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs next to him, "Master Ning, I think you should also know that Li Changan has established a new department, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Ministry of Civil Affairs to intervene in the appointment and dismissal of official positions."
"If we really want him to build this department well, how can the official department lose its face?"
Ning Hanqing's face was expressionless, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, "It's normal for Li Chang'an to pull Bailu Academy out of the game without using my staff."
Another official said,
"I heard that the newly-established division involves thousands of official positions. If he is allowed to accomplish such a thing again, who can stop him?"
"Don't tell me that in ten years, at the age of thirty-one, Li Changan will be able to reach out to the position of minister."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts couldn't help but tremble.
And he can covet the position of Minister at the age of 30!?
Is this really possible?
Everyone was in disbelief, but when they thought about it carefully, they couldn't help but feel horrified.
If Li Changan had not made any mistakes during this period, it is indeed possible that he would have laid an unbreakable foundation based on his contribution to disaster relief in the south and the establishment of a new company.
It is not impossible to even take a look at the position of Minister.
"The Queen must also be worried about Li Changan's popularity." A doctor from the Ministry of Personnel said, "I heard that there are people in the south who want to build a shrine for Li Changan."
"Is this really happening? Building a shrine? Are those people serious?"
Immediately, some people were so shocked that their scalps went numb.
It has always been that only those sages who have made great contributions, are extremely loved by the people, and have the hearts of the people are likely to be enshrined by the people.
The number of people who built shrines in the history of the Jin Dynasty can be counted with one hand.
But now, the people in the south actually want to build a shrine to Li Changan.
This is a bit too shocking.
She Yunkai, however, was uncharacteristically smiling and said, "We can talk about this in the court tomorrow."
"I think the Queen must really want to hear the voices of the people."
After the others thought for a moment, smiles appeared on their faces.
It is a good thing to build a shrine.
But for Li Changan, who has no foundation yet, it is nothing more than a life-threatening knife.
Even the current empress has never received such an honor. You don't even have an official position, Li Changan, so how can you be so virtuous and capable?
The Empress, who has gained the country unfairly, wants most now to be recognized by the whole country, so that she can officially ascend the throne.
Unexpectedly, Li Changan actually walked in front of her.
If the empress learns that the people want to build a shrine to Li Chang'an, even if they don't say anything on the surface, no one will know what they think in their hearts.
"Some people are still spreading the news that the people in the south only know about Li Chang'an and don't know about the imperial court."
She Yun said with a smile, "We need to let the Queen hear these words of praise for Li Chang'an."
Speaking of this, She Yunkai suddenly thought of something, "How come I heard that among the people who came to the capital these days, there is no Li Changan."
A doctor from the Ministry of Rites replied,
"He seems to have returned to Dongyue first and will not come to the capital in a few days."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Wenwen Township is the Tomb of Heroes..."
"It would be best if you never come to the capital, which would save you and me the trouble."
