Behind Zuo Shunmen, Queen Mother Sun looked at the court meeting in front of her through the screen, her phoenix eyes narrowed involuntarily.
The meeting has been going smoothly so far. The only surprise was Li Xian's sudden memorial.
This made Queen Mother Sun feel a little alarmed subconsciously...
This was not what they discussed when they were in Cining Palace.
No matter what, someone must bear responsibility for the defeat of Tumu. As the accompanying ministers, Gu Xingzu and others cannot escape their guilt.
The Empress Dowager Sun originally planned to let the civil servants make a fuss for a while, but then she interceded with her relatives to save him. Who would have thought that Li Xian would preemptively strike at this meeting.
If it was just to intercede for Gu Xingzu and others, he actually wanted to promote the governor of the Fifth Army Commandery.
Even she, a harem woman who did not often participate in court affairs, knew that civil servants would never agree to such a request.
What is this Li Xian planning?
At this time, two chamberlains came from the palace and said a few words in Li Yongchang's ear. Li Yongchang hesitated for a moment and then stepped forward.
"The Queen Mother, news just came from Jingyang Palace that Princess Tan has come to visit the Concubine Xian."
Queen Mother Sun was already a little irritable. She frowned and asked, "Didn't you just come here yesterday?"
Li Yongchang replied: "It is said that they brought a lot of precious tonics to give to the empresses in the palace. The person who reported the news said that when they came out, Empress Xian had already taken Princess Tan to Kunning Palace.
About this time, I have already arrived at the Queen’s place.”
Empress Dowager Sun thought of her daughter-in-law who cried all day long and couldn't help but feel a headache. She rubbed her forehead and said.
"Wu has been in the palace for many years. The queen alone may not be able to cope with it. Send someone to keep an eye on her at all times. If there is any abnormality, she will report to the Ai family."
After that, she glanced at Zhu Qiyu who was sitting outside Zuoshun's door. Empress Dowager Sun felt even more uneasy, but she still couldn't figure out what was wrong...
…………
The court meeting is still going on.
After Chen Yi and Yu Shiyue finished speaking, several more Kedao censors came forward to express their opposition to Li Xian, but most of their rhetoric was similar to that of Chen Yi.
More courtiers focused their attention on Wang Zhi and Yu Qian, but for some unknown reason, they never spoke.
Seeing that the situation was somewhat deadlocked, Zhu Qiyu simply spoke and said:
"Operator Otsuka and Marquis Fengcheng proposed to recommend three governors of the Five Military Commands. The Ministry of Personnel is the head of the six departments. You are also in charge of the Ministry of Personnel. What do you think of this proposal?"
Wang Zhi frowned tightly.
As the head of a hundred officials, he has more considerations than everyone else. Li Xian's move is certainly against the rules, but this is a special moment, and some violations of the rules are nothing and not worth making a fuss about.
On the civil servants' side, contingency changes were made in many places, and they were at odds with each other, and what was reasonable became unreasonable. It was unnecessary.
What's more, the reasons Li Xian just gave are quite sufficient. If he wants to object, he must give a reason with sufficient weight.
Chen Yi's statement about disrupting regulations is too light, while Yu Shiyue's statement about plotting to be the admiral of the capital has no evidence, and both of these are not acceptable.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Zhi said.
"Marquis Fengcheng was originally the governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. In the civil war, the military officials of the imperial court suffered heavy losses, and the officer in charge of the Five Army Governor's Mansion was vacant. Marquis Fengcheng proposed to the court that he should be granted the title of replacement governor. There is nothing wrong with that."
What everyone didn't expect was that Wang Zhi did not object, but agreed.
Under everyone's surprised gazes, Mr. Wang turned around and said to Li Xian: "I wonder if Marquis Fengcheng has a list of candidates?"
Li Xian also seemed a little stunned. He had already prepared for the fierce opposition from the civil servants, but he did not expect that Wang Zhi, the leader of the six ministries, would agree so easily.
He quietly glanced at Zhu Qiyu, who was above him, and saw that he was also surprised. Li Xian's heart was filled with doubts. Could it be that this was not King Tan's arrangement?
But no matter what, it was a good thing that Wang Zhi could agree. Li Xian was stunned for only a moment, then came back to his senses and spoke.
"The three ministers, Guo Sheng, Marquis of Cheng'an, Zhao Rong, Bo of Xincheng, and Xue Heng, Commander-in-Chief of the Prince Consort, are extremely brave and capable of holding great positions."
As soon as the voice fell, the ministers below immediately started talking in low voices.
Empress Dowager Sun, who was hiding behind the screen, clenched her jade hands even more, and the situation became more and more out of control.
In the Cining Palace, this group of honorable relatives clearly told her that they must ensure that Jiao Jing continues to be the admiral of the capital camp!
If they want to regain the right to nominate the admiral, they should also include Jiao Jing on the candidate list. But now even Xue Heng has been pushed out, and Jiao Jing has been excluded. She must not know what happened.
thing...
On the other side, Zhu Qiyu looked at Li Xian who was stunned and couldn't help but sigh.
No wonder the Xun Qi is getting weaker day by day. Li Xian is already the oldest among the Xun Qi, but he has fallen into someone else's trap. He hasn't realized it yet. If he can't beat the civil servants, it's really not a loss at all!
Sure enough, a smile appeared on Wang Zhi's lips, and he turned around and said: "Your Highness, King Xi, according to the rules, if the governor of the Five Army Commandery Mansion is not selected by the Holy Lord Jian, then at least one of the three candidates will be selected. Fengcheng Marquis only has three candidates.
People, but they have to elect three governors, which violates the system of selection."
"The Kuang Ministry of War has recommended the Admiral Minister of the Beijing Camp today, and will actually appoint a Governor. Under this situation, he can also temporarily take charge of the affairs of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies. Therefore, I think that Fengcheng Hou's move is too hasty. Today's court meeting
It is not appropriate to recommend him, but we can discuss it after the court meeting."
After listening to Wang Zhi's words, Zhu Qiyu twitched the corners of his mouth and tried to maintain his expression.
This group of honorable relatives are simply playing a good hand of cards to a pulp, and they jump into a pit when they see it ahead...
Wang Zhi's words did not make a fuss about any minor reasons to disturb the court, but directly accused Li Xian of violating the selection system. Although not as harsh as Yu Shiyue's words, they are still tenable.
The selection of officials is a major matter for the court. If you participate in the court selection or recommend a high-ranking official, then there will be three to seven candidates. In the end, two to three people will be selected at the discretion, and the emperor will select the final candidate.
Even if the current situation is special, it cannot be that just three people are selected. Doesn't this mean that the court will agree to use whoever is recommended by the relatives, so what is the use of the recommendation?
To put it more seriously, this is treating the important matter of the election as a private weapon of one family!
This reason, told from the mouth of the official minister in charge of the election, is absolutely tenable and very sufficient.
With these words, he not only pushed Li Xian back easily, but also killed Xun Qi Yijun.
Didn’t you say that no one in the Fifth Army Governor’s Mansion makes the decision?
What a coincidence, it just so happens that I have to recommend one person, and it will be over if he is also in charge!
What is an old fox? This is it!
Although there was no ventilation in advance, Wang Zhi was very confident that Yu Qian, as a member of the civil servants, would not make any mistakes in matters such as this.
As long as Tingtui is brought back on track, the person finally selected will definitely be on the side of the civil servants.
In this way, the civil servants not only controlled the capital camp, but also took the opportunity to drive a nail into the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.
Kill two birds with one stone!
After Wang Zhi finished speaking, Yu Qian sighed secretly. At this time, he couldn't make sense if he didn't speak, so he could only step forward and say.
"His Royal Highness King Yin, what Otsuka Zai said is true. The Ministry of War has drawn up a list of the admiral ministers of the capital camp. There are three candidates: Shi Heng, the official, Zhao Rong, the uncle of Xincheng, and Jiao Jing, the prince-in-law."
"The Minister of Admiral of the Beijing Camp has always been under the control of the Governor of the Five Military Commands. Marquis Fengcheng did it in a hurry. The number of nominations was not enough to nominate three Governors. Therefore, I believe that we should continue to nominate the Admiral of the Beijing Camp in accordance with the regulations of the court meeting."
Minister."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Qian felt a sharp gaze from his superiors, looking towards him.
It’s King Tan!
