Xiao Chengyi recommended Wen Qiyu to serve as an official in the court. He had known about it for a long time, but he did not expect that the courtiers would have such strong opinions.
Listening to the impassioned rebuttals of the courtiers, Xiao Chongjun's head felt a little big.
He looked at Xiao Chengyi who was silent and signaled him with his eyes.
Whatever you cause, you solve it.
Xiao Chengyi remained calm and allowed all the officials to give advice. After the palace was quiet, he asked lightly: "Have you finished speaking?"
All the officials in the palace were kneeling. When they heard Xiao Chengyi ask such a question, they were all stunned. Then they heard Xiao Chengyi say: "Since the ministers have no objections, please give the order to your majesty."
Ministers: "..."
I'm sorry they just talked so much, but it was all in vain.
Some ministers couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and said angrily: "Prince Regent, do you want to cover up the sky with one hand? You have meritorious service in quelling the rebellion of the second prince, but you cannot be arrogant and arrogant.
Regardless of the objections of the ministers, you want a person from southern Xinjiang to be appointed as the Prime Minister of Nanyue. What are your intentions?
Your Majesty knows that the prince loves talents, so we have no objection to you allowing a native of southern Xinjiang to serve as an official in the court.
It’s just that none of us have come step by step to where we are today. Why would a person from southern Xinjiang step on our heads just because of your words? How can we be convinced by this?"
"That's right, Your Majesty, you can't do this."
Everyone vented their dissatisfaction with each other's words.
The relationship between the ministers of the DPRK and China is intricate and involves many interests.
The prime minister is the head of hundreds of officials. It is naturally better to recommend someone who is beneficial to them than to recommend someone from southern Xinjiang whom they do not know.
In fact, these courtiers had already gotten wind of the situation, and they had reached a consensus.
Although the regent can cover the sky with only one hand, there is nothing he can do if all the officials work together.
However, their calculations were quite good, but it was a pity that Xiao Chengyi did not follow this plan.
Xiao Chengyi smiled and asked the person who just spoke: "Since you think Mr. Wen is not suitable, who among the courtiers is suitable?"
When the man saw Xiao Chengyi relenting, he immediately said: "According to his qualifications, it should be Mr. Qin, Taiwei Qin. Since the incident with Prime Minister Lin, Mr. Qin Taiwei has not made any mistakes on behalf of the Prime Minister. If it is him, we will also
It’s convincing, don’t you think so?”
Everyone nodded in agreement. They had received more or less favors from Qin Taiwei when they were officials in the court, and it was also of great benefit to them that Qin Taiwei sat on the position of prime minister.
Xiao Chengyi looked at Qin Guan. Just now all the officials opposed Wen Qiyu's entry into the court as prime minister, but he did not refute, but stood aside quietly.
A look that has nothing to do with it.
Xiao Chengyi chuckled and said: "You said that there were no mistakes made by Qin Taiwei when he took the post of Prime Minister? Then how did the second prince's rebellion come about? How can we explain that the Prime Minister of Dai did not discover the ambition of the second prince?
?”
Everyone choked, but had nothing to say.
Qin Guan's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "This is my negligence, please forgive me."
Xiao Chengyi looked at him and asked again: "Master Qin, just now you said nothing and did not object, but you also agree with Wen Qiyu, Mr. Wen, and agree with this king's decision?"
Qin Guan: "..."
He wants to say that he doesn't agree.
If the Prince Regent had not spoken out and mentioned this matter earlier, and he was not easy to offend, he would have taken the lead in opposing it now.
