In the end, Cao Xing still failed to convince Ning Chen and wrote two memorials according to Ning Chen's request.
One was a detailed explanation of the war situation in the Western Regions, and the other recommended Liao Jingyuan as the governor of the Western Regions.
Originally, Cao Xing planned to merge the two memorials together. In this case, he would talk about the merits first and then the recommenders.
It doesn't seem so abrupt and stiff.
But Ning Chen insisted on writing two memorials, so Cao Xing could only do what Ning Chen said.
After the two memorials were drawn up, Ning Chen directly ordered someone to rush eight hundred miles to Fengjing.
Ning Chen just needs to wait for the response from Fengjing.
The two memorials were delivered to Fengjing City only three days later.
Although the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had already known the news of the great victory in the Western Regions.
However, many specific details are still unknown.
It's not that the spies from all sides are ineffective, but that some things can be probed, but some things are insurmountable.
For example, this time, it can be said to be a battle for the fate of the country. Before the battle, all the spies were investigated and cleaned up.
With Prince Jing and Marquis Dingguo in charge, Ning Chen was not afraid of offending anyone. He caught the spies and killed them directly.
So now there is a window period for all parties involved in the Western Region and Baijiacheng.
Therefore, they could only wait for Ning Chen to report what happened in Baijiacheng and the Western Region.
Just waiting like this means waiting for half a month.
Ning Chen was so rude, which actually caused some opinions among the officials.
According to normal procedures, Ning Chen should have written a memorial and sent it to Fengjing as soon as possible after his victory.
If it's two or three days later, I can understand it.
It's half a month late now, and it's hard to explain this.
Wu Zhao didn't say anything, so they could only endure it.
Finally, the memorial from Ning Chen came from Baijiacheng.
Wu Chao asked Sun to accompany him, and he read the battle report memorial that Ning Chen asked Cao Xing to write for him.
When I heard that Ning Chen led almost all the top combat power of the Wu Dynasty to achieve such a huge result.
All civil and military officials in the court looked shocked and excited.
Everyone congratulated Wu Zhao loudly.
Most of these congratulations are completely sincere.
The Wu Dynasty expanded its territory, and they were also one of the participants.
And every time we expand our territory, it will inevitably bring unimaginable huge benefits.
This is also a great opportunity for them to reap benefits.
After the first memorial, the second memorial sent by Ning Chen, without any surprise, directly caused an uproar.
Although Cao Xing has written very tactfully in the memorial.
But no matter how tactfully you write, one thing won't change.
That is, Ning Chen recommended a person with no fame, no reputation, and no background.
If Ning Chen only recommended Liao Jingyuan to take up a small position in the Western Region, then it wouldn't be a big deal.
Ning Chen conquered the Western Regions and made such great achievements.
Arranging a few of your own people is completely understandable.
Right now, what Ning Chen arranged for Liao Jingyuan to do was not a small position.
He was the governor of the Western Regions, the highest official leader of the Wu Dynasty in the Western Regions.
This is too much, and it is something they can never agree to.
"Your Majesty, Ning Chen is too crazy. For such an important position, Ning Chen actually recommends an idle person. Does Ning Chen still take His Majesty and the imperial court seriously?"
"Your Majesty, Ning Chen is so arrogant that he takes credit and now even arranges court appointments directly. This is simply treason!"
"His Majesty……"
Everyone among the civil servants, including the imperial censors, were in a state of excitement.
It's really hard for them not to be excited. They were all promoted through the imperial examination.
Step by step, they got to where they are today and have their current official positions.
As a result, when Ning Chen came up, he had to recommend someone who had not passed the imperial examination to be the governor.
This is so unfair to them.
They must collectively resist such a thing.
Naturally, the clan had nothing to say.
They must do this kind of thing that adds insult to injury.
Especially the target of adding insult to injury was Ning Chen.
Ning Chen's entry into the clan is a huge threat to their entire clan.
The clan felt like they were living in Ning Chen's shadow all the time.
Now that Ning Chen has finally done such a disobedient thing again, if they don't step on her together, they would be really sorry for their own mistakes.
Suddenly, the crowd in the court was furious.
Even Wang Lin, who had been standing by Ning Chen, couldn't say much at this moment.
Although Lin Dunxin was not as excited as the other ministers, he frowned and said nothing.
Lin Dunxin also felt that what Ning Chen did this time was indeed a bit extravagant.
"quiet."
Following Sun Banban's low shout, the entire hall suddenly became quiet.
When everyone stopped talking, Sun Banban took a step back and allowed Wu Zhao to speak.
"I understand your thoughts, but I hope you can think about it, who proposed the method of governing the Western Regions?"
"Since the champion has recommended this person, he must have a reason."
Wu Zhao paused for a moment and continued: "You may not know about Liao Jingyuan, but I know a little bit about him."
"Liao Jingyuan is the person who followed Qingyuan to spread the great Chengfofa. At the same time, he is also the only disciple of the Fo family of Baijia Academy."
"When the great chengfofa was spread in the Western Regions, Liao Jingyuan could be said to have done his best."
"It can be said that Liao Jingyuan is indispensable for Dachengfofa to become mainstream in the Western Regions."
"I think it is difficult for any of you dear friends to surpass him in terms of his knowledge of the Western Regions."
"If you want to understand both the Western Regions and the great people at the same time, then you may not be as good as Liao Jingyuan."
Just after Wu Zhao finished speaking, Lin Dunxin stood up and said: "Your Majesty, even this Liao Jingyuan knows both the Western Regions and the Great Chengfofa.
That wouldn't be an exceptional promotion, if such a precedent is set.
Let those students who have studied hard for more than ten years think about the imperial examination system of the Wu Dynasty.
At that time, there will be more people seeking opportunities and fewer people actually studying, which is definitely not a good thing for our Wu Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, what the Prime Minister said is absolutely true. If this is the case, everyone will be looking for a job by then, and who will be willing to study hard in a cold window."
"Your Majesty, this will only encourage unhealthy trends and evil tendencies, and will be a great disadvantage to our Wu Dynasty. Your Majesty, please think again!"
Lin Dunxin stood up and spoke. For the civil servant group, it was like a chicken blood injection.
Lin Dunxin was the head of a hundred officials, and every move he made had wide implications.
Now that Lin Dunxin is taking the lead in opposing it, it means that this matter is indeed wrong.
Wang Lin organized the words in his mind for a long time, and finally stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's concerns are indeed justified.
But now that matters are urgent, the Western Region must elect a governor as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if you wait too long, problems may occur.
I think the champion king was also worried about Chi Ze's change, so he took the initiative to propose Liao Jingyuan as the governor of the Western Regions.
I believe that the Champion will never have any selfish intentions, and the Champion will definitely serve the public good."
No matter how biased Wang Lin is, he can only speak for Ning Chen to this extent.
If he goes too far, Wang Lin will offend all the scholars in the world.
By then, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to be a military commander.
Although he, the military minister, spends most of his time dealing with generals.
However, many proposals still require help from civil servants.
If you are offended too deeply, you will definitely be hindered from doing many things in the future.
After Wu Zhao and other military ministers and political ministers finished talking to each other, they pondered for a moment and said: "Since all your beloved ministers are so opposed to it, can you recommend a suitable candidate for the governorship?
Let me first explain that the elected governor must be proficient in the affairs of each Buddhist country in the Western Regions.
At the same time, one must be proficient in the Buddhist principles of Mahayana Buddhism. Now in the Western Regions, Mahachengfofa is respected.
If you don’t understand the Buddhist principles of the Great Chengfofa, you will never be able to use your skills in the Western Regions."
After Wu Zhao put out these two conditions, all the officials looked at each other.
It is really very difficult to satisfy these two conditions at the same time.
There are many civil and military officials who know about the Western Regions and the many Buddhist countries in the Western Regions.
The Western Regions were a serious concern of the Wu Dynasty, and there were still many people studying the Western Regions.
Whether they are civil servants or military generals, you can find some people.
They know the Western Regions and the 108 Buddhist countries in the Western Regions, and the specific conditions of each Buddhist country.
But when it comes to understanding the Buddhist principles of Chengfofa, they really can't do it.
Because Mahayana Buddhism has only been around for a long time.
Moreover, they are not following this cultivation path. Why should they study Mahayana Buddhism?
"Your Majesty, even if there is no one who meets these two conditions at the moment, we cannot just let Liao Jingyuan take office.
If we are not familiar with Buddhist principles, we can slowly learn the Buddhist principles of Mahayana Buddhism.
As long as we are given time, we will definitely be able to integrate and understand the Buddhist principles of Mahayana Buddhism!"
Although they couldn't find anyone who met both conditions at the same time, everyone still didn't want to just let Ning Chen succeed.
"Then while you all are studying the principles of Mahayana Buddhism, will this position of governor remain vacant?" Wu Zhao continued to ask everyone.
"Your Majesty's appointment as governor is of great importance. Even if it is temporarily vacant, no one can sit on it randomly. The matter in the Western Regions is a serious matter, so please think twice." An old minister stood up tremblingly and tried to dissuade Wu Zhao.
.
Of course it is not for himself that such an old minister stands up at this time.
They are here for their children and grandchildren.
This is already the case for their generation, but they don't want their next generation to be unable to even participate in the imperial examination.
"Because the affairs in the Western Regions are such a big deal, it is necessary to select a governor as soon as possible who can be recognized by many Buddhist countries in the Western Regions."
"Otherwise, the longer you delay, the more likely you will have long nights and nightmares."
Seeing that Wu Zhao was determined to favor Ning Chen, he planned to pass Ning Chen's memorial.
The officials below also felt extremely angry.
If such a thing can pass, it will definitely be a huge humiliation for them.
Resign!
Resign collectively!
This is an idea that came to their minds.
Sensing the thoughts of the officials, Lin Dunxin immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the matter in the Western Regions is indeed a serious matter and requires an immediate decision.
But Your Majesty, it is not unreasonable for the ministers to be worried.
Even if the champion king is dedicated to the public, we cannot guarantee that other powerful people will be dedicated to the public in the future.
When the time comes, selling official positions and conferring titles will erode the country of our Wu Dynasty.
Therefore, we must not be too casual about the governor of the Western Regions."
Wu Zhao looked at Lin Dunxin and said: "Prime Minister, what do you think?"
After Lin Dunxin pondered for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion. Your Majesty can listen to it, and you can also listen to it and see if it is feasible."
"I would like to hear the details." All civil servants in the dynasty raised their hands to show that they were listening attentively.
Wu Zhao also nodded and said: "Prime Minister, please speak."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, the Governor of the Western Regions, can be temporarily replaced by Liao Jingyuan."
"But this is only a temporary appointment. During his temporary appointment, Liao Jingyuan must take the imperial examination."
"At the same time, Liao Jingyuan must take part in next year's imperial examination and become the top three in the examination before he can continue to serve as the governor of the Western Regions."
"Similarly, if before next year's imperial examination, there is someone in the civil and military affairs of the DPRK who surpasses Liao Jingyuan in understanding of Mahayana Buddhism, then Liao Jingyuan will also have to abdicate and give up his position as governor."
After hearing Lin Dunxin's compromise plan, Wu Zhao thought about it and nodded. Then Wu Zhao asked the Manchu officials and clan members: "What do you think of the Prime Minister's opinion?"
Lin Dun believed this opinion, but to be honest, they still didn't want to accept it.
But this opinion is the best at the moment.
Moreover, the conditions given by Lin Dunxin were actually very harsh.
Asking Liao Jingyuan to participate in next year's imperial examination will be very tight in terms of time.
What's more, Liao Jingyuan also has to deal with affairs in the Western Regions, which leaves less time for study.
Under such circumstances, it would be great for Liao Jingyuan to enter the top rankings.
Top three, this is definitely a very, very difficult task.
In this case, this compromise condition is still barely acceptable.
Finally, with the mediation of Lin Dunxin, everyone reached such a compromise plan.
Liao Jingyuan temporarily took the position of governor of the Western Regions.
…
When the imperial court reached an agreement, problems arose on the Jingzhou side.
A large number of barbarians of Hegu Barbarian Emperor died under the Holy City.
The Holy City was completely surrounded by dead people and bones.
This scene really puzzled Prince Jing.
Just when King Jing was thinking about what Emperor Hegu was going to do.
However, the latest news came from the front line of the Saint City.
The Hegu Man Emperor did not know what kind of method he used to pollute the Holy City.
Although this level of pollution cannot last long for the Holy City.
However, this level of pollution has been equivalent to temporarily sealing the Holy City.
If the Feng Sheng City is sealed, it means that Jingzhou has lost its biggest barrier.
The barbarians should be able to march straight in and directly come under the city wall of Jingzhou.
