Li Jinglong's mind was racing rapidly, "Guo Huai, the leader of the Henan River Channel, came to my doorstep last year. Although I greeted Ling Tietou at that time, Guo Huai's official voice has always been good, otherwise Ling Tietou would also
I won't agree. Why did Long Live Master suddenly mention him today?"
"You're so incompetent! Isn't this a nice thing to say?"
Thinking about this, Li Jinglong glanced at Ling Han slightly, only to find that the latter was concentrating on dealing with the meatballs in front of him, without even bothering to touch him with his eyelids.
"Old fox, if something really happens to Guo Huai, you must push me. Go back and clear up the relationship with that person surnamed Guo!"
"Bring a stool to Mr. Cao Guo!" At this time, Zhu Yunxi smiled on the throne.
"Look at me, long live my lord, you look good today!" Li Jinglong leaned over and sat down, smiling, "This is our Ming Dynasty, what happy events are there?"
"As long as nothing happens, it will be a happy event!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and picked up the memorial he just put down, "The Ming Dynasty is so big, even if it has some flaws, it can't be concealed!" He said, looking at Li Jinglong quietly, "I heard,
Henan River Operation Envoy, who did you recommend?"
Li Jinglong was startled and suddenly realized something.
Ling Tietou is really a man who has matured with age. He gave himself a favor here and told Long Live Lord later.
"Back to the emperor, it was indeed recommended by me. This man used to supervise the grain transportation station in the northwest, and he was promoted because of his meritorious service!" Li Jinglong said, looking down at Zhu Yunxi's face, and continued, "This man has no close friendship with me, but
When I went out to fight in the war years ago, this man helped me collect grain and mobilize war horses, and he worked hard without complaining!"
"Later, he found me and said that he had fallen ill in the northwest over the past few years. He asked me for help to see if he could be transferred to the inland! Long live my Lord, you know my temperament. He is flamboyant and loves face. I know about the appointment and dismissal of national officials.
You must not say that Xiang interfered."
"But when I thought about him, he has also served the country, and he has worked hard at the border all these years without complaint. I also thought that Long Live Lord, you are the most considerate of these ministers, so I told Ling Butang!"
"But what I said at the time was that whether this person can be used depends on the inspection of Lingbu Hall and your officials." At this point, Li Jinglong paused, "I think this person seemed to be usable at the time, otherwise it wouldn't be possible.
It won’t be transferred to the river!”
Having said this, Li Jinglong stood up and said, "I am guilty, please punish me!"
Zhu Yunxi glanced at him and said nothing for the time being.
A large empire is difficult to manage. People cannot live without human kindness, and the same is true for a country. To be precise, it cannot be the same in ancient and modern times.
The web of relationships cannot be cut off no matter how long it is.
Just like life, it is said that everyone is born equal. In fact, from the moment of birth, there are three or nine levels between people. The same is true for being an official. No one in the court will be a seventh-level county magistrate until death. There are people in the court.
Promotion and transfer are just a word from above.
That's why there is a saying, "Don't avoid relatives when promoting talents." Let's put it another way when it comes to talents. Not avoiding relatives is the true portrayal of officialdom.
Ling Han finally finished the white rice and meatballs in front of him, without wiping his mouth and with two slices of coriander on his beard, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I did read Guo Huai's resume at that time. He has worked hard and fulfilled his duties as an official for many years.
I have been supervising the transportation of grain and grass in the northwest for more than ten years, and there has never been a problem. Therefore, there is a gap in the river..."
"I know!" Zhu Yunxi said lightly, interrupting the other party, "When you told me about this that day, I told you that it was up to you!"
As he said that, Zhu Yunxi looked at Li Jinglong and said, "You, Mr. Cao Guo, have such a great reputation! Foreign officials have come to your door to seek help!" He said with a sneer, "You are so honorable and honest that you never refuse, and you really don't reject anyone who comes.
Mengchang’s style!”
"I don't dare!" Li Jinglong quickly leaned over.
"You don't know how many bowls of rice you have to eat? If someone asks you, you agree and you can't shirk it?" Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly, "To put it mildly, you are confused, but to put it worse, you are using the country's title as a favor to Li Jinglong.
Woolen cloth!"
At this time, Hou Yong on the side suddenly stood up solemnly and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say!"
Zhu Yunxi was a little surprised, "That's what Aiqing said!"
"I came to the capital not long ago, but I also heard some things!" Hou Yong said slowly, "There is a saying in the officialdom, if you have something to ask Li, but if you have nothing to do, I will respect you. The old king in the inner palace and the old army in the army!"
Zhu Yunxi's expression changed slightly, "What do you mean?"
But Li Jinglong cursed directly in his heart, "Hou Yong, I didn't offend you! Are you adding insult to injury now?"
"It means that if you have something to do as an official, don't ask others, you can ask Duke Cao Guogong. Cao Guogong is a man of justice and keep his word! If you have nothing to do as an official, don't think that others can do nothing to you. Be careful with He Guangyi, the commander of the Jin Yiwei."
"In the inner palace, don't offend Manager Wang."
"Among the military, the Chang family is the most powerful."
After saying that, Hou Yong paused, "Although this is just a boring joke made by some officials in private and cannot be taken seriously, it also proves that the emperor is too kind to these people!"
"Just like Cao Guogong, the emperor seems to reprimand him every day, but in fact he always protects him."
Before he finished speaking, veteran minister Ling Han, left governor Yan Zhenzhi and others spoke directly, "Shilang Hou, are you criticizing your father?"
"Don't dare, let's just discuss the matter!" Hou Yong whispered, "The emperor is the emperor, and the ministers who are close to him will be blessed by that minister. If the ministers who are close to him get carried away, they will live up to the emperor's kindness!"
The hall suddenly became quiet.
Zhu Yunxi sat on the throne. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "What Aiqing said makes sense!"
Everyone has selfish motives, and he, the emperor, is no exception. Moreover, good medicine and loyal words are harsh to the ears. The people Hou Yong mentioned were indeed particularly favored by Zhu Yunxi.
The reason for my preference is that it's easy to use. They do all the dirty work, and they really work hard without complaining.
In fact, the ministers were well aware of this situation. There were no treacherous ministers in the past dynasties who did private work for the emperor! However, when Hou Yong said it in public, the meaning was different.
"No wonder those old killers are suffering from the plague one by one. You are really suffering! I didn't offend you, and I didn't provoke you, so why did you suddenly attack me? Do you think I am easy to bully?" Li Jinglong cursed in his heart.
more than.
"My dear, mature and prudent words." Zhu Yunxi said again, "It woke me up and at the same time saved these people. After hearing your words, I will be more thoughtful when using them, and they will be more restrained in their actions in the future.
.Otherwise, my blind protection will harm them!"
"The emperor knows everything from thousands of miles away!" Hou Yong said.
"It was announced that Guo Huai, the official responsible for the operation of the rivers in Henan, did his job in a mess. Shangzhezi only wanted money to build the river, but he had no idea how to build it and what shape it would take. In fact, he was an official who built it for the sake of building it and built it for political achievements.
"
"Transferred..." Zhu Yunxi thought about it, "Transferred to the Ministry of Works as a Yuanwailang to see the consequences!"
After saying that, he looked at Li Jinglong again, "You are the recommender, and you will be fined two years!"
"Is there a penalty? Why?"
Li Jinglong was confused today, but he could only bow his head and thank him.
However, he also knew in his heart that a fine of two years' salary would be equivalent to Long Live Master using his salary to silence those scholars.
"Those who are suffering from the plague want to move to me? I have the final say!" Li Jinglong secretly hated him.
