Chapter 532 The guardian enters the power core circle
After drinking this meal, Li Shu respected Zhao Cheng even more.
At this time, although Zhao Cheng was far away from the court, he was still controlling the affairs of the court in Yanchuan City, and he was borrowing the hand of the eldest princess. It seemed that he was helping Yuan Xiu, but in fact, the Right Prime Minister's Office was secretly profiting from it.
He marveled at Zhao Cheng's wisdom, and was even more fortunate that his son had made Zhao Cheng a good friend.
Although he didn't say anything, Li Shu knew that as long as he became the Minister of Rites, he would belong to Zhao Cheng from now on.
I am going to Changsui now just so that I can help Zhao Cheng in the future.
After drinking and eating, Zhao Cheng stood up and said, "Master Li, I will ask Daxia Jin and Mr. Pu to write an inscription for you, as a gift to celebrate your promotion."
Li Shu said gratefully: "Young Prime Minister is doing what he wants, so I won't be polite!"
Li Guanyu picked up the wine glass and said: "Xiao Xiangye, I, Li Guanyu, will remember this for the rest of my life and I can't thank you enough!"
Xu An interjected: "Just thank him, but not me?"
Li Guanyu smiled and said: "Let's do it together!"
Xu An curled his lips and said, "One cup won't be enough if we go together."
Li Guanyu immediately put down his wine glass, picked up the jug, and said, "I'll drink a full jug!"
Xu An and Zhao Cheng looked at each other and smiled, saying: "That's pretty much it!"
…
Central platform.
Yuan Li sat in the first place, followed by Xu Shouli, He Yin, and Chen Changyun.
It's just that Xu Shouli and Chen Changyun had just had a fierce quarrel, and both of them didn't look good.
Yuan Li looked at He Yin, who had been silent, and said: "He Shangshu, for the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Qingdong Marquis recommended Li Shu and Chen Changyun recommended Wei Dong. What do you think?"
He Yindao: "I am in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, so I will not be involved in the appointment of court officials."
Yuan Lidao: "His Majesty once said that when there are differences in matters discussed at the central stage, all four ministers have the right to vote."
He Yin thought for a moment and said: "Then I will give up my vote and it will be up to the prince to make the decision."
"You, you..." Yuan Li pointed at He Yin and smiled bitterly.
Chen Changyun said: "Your Majesty, Wei Dong is the current Minister of Rites, and it is more suitable for him to replace Lu Zhao. Why bother to transfer the Minister of Rites who is accompanying the capital? Isn't this unnecessary!"
Xu Shouli frowned and said: "Official appointments and removals are based on qualifications and abilities. How can it be troublesome? I dealt with Li Shu when I was in Yanchuan City. I am familiar with him and Wei Dong. I think Li Shu is more
suitable."
Chen Changyun said: "Master Hou, if you want to place your own people, please change their positions. If there is a vacancy in the Ministry of Etiquette, you can give it to me..."
"Nonsense!" Xu Shouli said angrily: "I have nothing to do with that Li Shu. I recommended him because I sincerely recommended talents for Dajing!"
Chen Changyun smiled and said: "There are no outsiders here, why should the Marquis do this?"
Xu Shouli stood up and shouted: "Master Chen, don't make me curse!"
"Qingdong Hou, don't be angry!" Yuan Li tried to smooth things over and said with a smile: "I know that you are upright and dare to curse people even in front of His Majesty. Let's calm down first and let me think about it carefully."
"Humph!" Xu Shouli snorted angrily, and just as he was about to sit down, he saw Wen Hu walking in.
Wen Hu was wearing a red velvet coat and carrying a golden sword at his waist, looking very imposing.
"Marquis of Shaxian County." Chen Changyun quickly greeted with a smile.
Wen Hu nodded slightly, walked directly to Yuan Li, and said: "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty has spoken."
Hearing this, Yuan Li immediately stood up and stood up, and Xu Shouli and the others quickly followed.
Wen Hu said: "Fifth brother, Li Shu, the Minister of Rites of the Accompanying Capital, is quite good. This time, the central office is solely responsible for filling the vacancies of officials. I will not care about the others. But for Li Shu, let him take over as the Minister of Rites."
Yuan Lidao: "My brother accepts the order!"
Upon hearing this appointment, Yuan Li's performance was not bad, and Chen Changyun was immediately shocked.
His Majesty actually lifted Li Shu up directly!
Chen Changyun glanced at Xu Shouli secretly, and for a moment he didn't understand the emperor's intention. Is Li Shu a member of the emperor's family, or was Xu Shouli angry with the emperor?
Yuan Li smiled and said: "Qingdong Hou, His Majesty wants to promote Li Shu. You should tell me earlier, so that you don't have to argue with Mr. Chen for so long."
Xu Shouli said: "I don't know about your Majesty's promotion of Li Shu."
Yuan Li smiled and said nothing, thinking that it would be strange if you didn't know!
Xu Shouli didn't say anything, so Yuan Li followed his wishes and called to Wen Hu: "Since the Marquis of Sha County is here, just sit down for a while and then leave."
Wen Hu said seriously: "Your Majesty still has an oral message."
Yuan Li choked for a moment and thought, can you finish it in one go, brother?
Wen Hu said: "I once said that when the political opinions of the four ministers on the central stage are different, they can vote. The four of you are an even number, so it is easy to tie the vote. If you encounter such a situation in the future, you can call Wen Hu. He also has
Voting rights."
Yuan Li secretly smacked his tongue, the emperor had brought Wenhu into the core power circle of the empire.
Without the supporter, Yuan Li would actually have the final say most of the time at the central office. After all, Chen Changyun had already turned to him. Now that he had the vote of the supporter, his opinions might be rejected.
It seems that we need to have a good relationship with Wenhu.
Yuan Li asked politely: "Marquis of Shaxian County, does your Majesty have anything to say?"
"Gone."
"Please take a seat quickly."
"His Royal Highness King Xin, please come first."
After Wen Hu sat down, he saw that the four people were looking at him and said: "You can continue the discussion and don't worry about me. Since His Highness King Xin will let me sit for a while, I will just watch."
Yuan Li nodded lightly and shouted: "Give tea to the Marquis of Shaxian County!"
With that said, Yuan Li looked at Xu Shouli and said: "Since His Majesty has spoken, there is no need to discuss the position of Minister of Rites. Let's decide on the position of Minister of Rites."
Xu Shouli asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to move Wei Dong's butt?"
Yuan Li nodded and said: "Master Chen is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Since he recommended Wei Dong, it means that Wei Dong is capable. I took a look at his resume and found that he has enough qualifications. I can mention him to someone else."
Chen Changyun was secretly happy because Yuan Li was clearly supporting him by doing this.
"I have no objection." Xu Shouli sat upright and said, "Do you have a candidate for the Minister of Rites?"
"The king has a candidate in mind."
Yuan Lichao glanced at everyone and said: "Chen Wei, the son of Chen Ke, the former Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, is currently serving in the Ministry of Rites. His father is a good official. He is influenced by the family tradition and is also very good. Let's mention him.
It also allows officials to feel the warmth of our central platform.”
Chen Changyun said: "This is a wonderful idea!"
Xu Shou thought for a moment and said, "It's feasible."
Yuan Li asked: "He Shangshu, what do you think?"
He Yin replied: "Power has iron laws and warmth. I am convinced by your prince's proposal."
Yuan Li laughed happily, then turned to Wen Hu and said, "What does the Marquis of Sha County think?"
Wen Hu immediately stood up and said: "Although His Majesty has given me the right to vote, your Majesty does not need to care about my opinion on such a major matter. When one day you have different opinions, I will do my part."
