The sudden news made Li Chen's chopsticks for picking vegetables freeze in mid-air.
After a long while, Li Chen slowly put down his chopsticks and raised his hand. Wan Jiaojiao, who was serving him, immediately bent down and brought the handkerchief to Li Chen's mouth.
Li Chen took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth.
This action made all the officials in the banquet hall stop their chopsticks at the same time.
Two of them stuffed their mouths with food and hurriedly swallowed it, but they choked and rolled their eyes.
Looking at the officials present, Li Chen said: "Next, I will directly announce the confirmed job transfers."
Caught off guard.
Completely caught off guard.
Logically speaking, a large-scale job transfer is an extremely serious matter, and it should at least be announced at the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the prince's plan.
But I don’t know why, Chen Tong came to the prince and said something in his ear, which made the prince directly make arrangements in advance?
What exactly is it talking about?
Many officials feel like a cat scratching their heads.
But Li Chen didn't give them time to think, and then said: "Xu Changqing."
Just as Xu Changqing was about to stand up, Li Chen's next words came one after another.
"Xu Changqing takes over as Minister of Household Affairs."
Xu Changqing's heart was beating wildly, and the excitement and excitement made the blood all over his body boil.
The title of Shangshu of Jin Dynasty!
He had been thinking about this position for too long, and he finally took this step.
It seemed like he was just promoted one level from Minister to Minister, but this level allowed him to take charge of a department.
It is equivalent to opening a new upward channel and passing a big hurdle.
If he were just a minister, even if he was a Zuo minister, the places Xu Changqing could be transferred to in the future would be to be the governor of a state or government, or to serve in an unimportant position in the three provinces.
But a minister is already at the core of the imperial court. His future destination will be to serve as a feudal official at the level of provincial governor, or to serve in a high position in the three provinces and be responsible for a certain part of the work.
Such a hurdle would make it impossible for 90% of the imperial ministers in the past to overcome it, and they would eventually either retire as ministers or retire as governors of prefectures and prefectures.
“I, thank you so much for Your Highness, I will be so heartbroken that I will die for Your Highness!”
Xu Changqing lay on the ground, banging his head firmly on the ground, his voice trembling with excitement.
He didn't care if others said he was a flatterer, he wished he could hold the prince's feet in his hands and lick them.
Because Xu Changqing knew very well that if the prince really stretched out his feet and grabbed the crowd of people to lick him, it would be his own ability to flatter his highness the prince!
Li Chen nodded and said, "Let's get flat."
In the envious eyes of all the officials, Xu Changqing stood up and stepped aside with great satisfaction.
Next, Li Chen made a series of personnel adjustments.
Basically, most of the duties of the officials present have been adjusted or raised.
After all, with the addition of three provinces, there will be dozens of vacancies at once, and if the three provinces are to truly operate, these vacancies need to be filled.
Some people are happy and some are worried, and some people are reluctant to part with the real power in their hands. Although the level has been upgraded by one and a half levels, entering the three provinces means that the real power will be greatly reduced.
Others don't have so many ambitions. As long as their grades go up, everything will be easy.
As for those who were not present, Li Chen did not announce them directly, but would issue a separate imperial edict to announce them.
"Okay, everyone, please go back."
Li Chen stood up and waved his hand, which was the end of the morning court.
