Chapter Five Hundred and Eighty-One. Lively Court Meeting (4).
…
…
As Prince Zhu He was punished, all the officials were frightened for a while, fearing that they would be angered by Emperor Deqing. .Updated fastest
In addition, Emperor Deqing was still angry and did not speak for a long time, so the morning court fell into silence again.
Seeing that procrastinating like this was not an option, it might delay Chen Dongxiang's time to take over the manual department. In this case, there might even be some changes, so Zhao Junchen winked at Zuo Lanshan and signaled Zuo Lanshan to break the silence.
, bringing back the topic of the court meeting.
After seeing the look in Zhao Junchen's eyes, Zuo Lanshan did not dare to disobey, and went out again, saying: "Your Majesty, the candidate for Minister of the Ministry of Industry has not yet been determined. Whether Mr. Chen Dongxiang will take over or not, please leave your Majesty's judgment."
Seeing Zuo Lanshan break the silence, all the officials breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Emperor Deqing had just punished Prince Zhu He for Chen Dongxiang's taking over as Minister of Industry, and the officials did not dare to raise objections at this time.
On the other side, Emperor Deqing finally remembered the theme of today's morning court. After seeing that no one among the officials objected, he finally turned his attention to Chen Dongxiang.
"Where is Chen Dongxiang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry? He came out to speak."
As Emperor Deqing finished speaking, Chen Dongxiang walked out of the queue slowly, with a calm expression and calm steps.
Seeing Chen Dongxiang's appearance, all the officials secretly nodded in approval regardless of their attitude.
Once Chen Dongxiang became the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he officially squeezed into the core of the temple. Now it can be said to be a turning point in Chen Dongxiang's future career. He has just encountered a severe reprimand and accusation from Prince Zhu He. It can be said to be a big ups and downs. For ordinary people under such circumstances
, or he may be frightened, or he may be happy and excited, and it is inevitable that he will be at a loss, but Chen Dongxiang's performance is quite calm and calm, and he cannot see the ups and downs of his mood at all. With this power and emotional control, he is better than in Huangji Palace.
Most people want to be strong.
And Zhao Junchen was even more pleased that he finally had another reliable helper in the temple in the future.
On the other side, after seeing Chen Dongxiang's performance, Emperor Deqing also nodded slightly, and then asked: "Chen Dongxiang, if I hand over the Ministry of Works to you, are you confident that you can manage all matters of the Ministry of Works well?
?”
Naturally, Chen Dongxiang would not answer this kind of routine question wrongly, and said loudly: "I dare not live up to my holy hope. If I are in charge of the Ministry of Industry, I will do my best in the future to repay His Majesty's cultivation, and I will never dare to slack off!
"
Emperor Deqing nodded again and said, "In that case, I am relieved."
Then, Emperor Deqing officially announced the appointment: "From today on, I will hand over the Ministry of Industry to you. I hope you will not disappoint my expectations."
Upon hearing Emperor Deqing's official decision, Chen Dongxiang's expression finally flashed with joy, and he quickly kowtowed and said, "My lord, Chen Dongxiang, thanks you for your kindness!"
After Chen Dongxiang finished kowtowing and returned to the queue of hundreds of officials, Emperor Deqing said slowly: "The candidates for the governors of the three sides and the minister of the Ministry of Industry have finally been decided. As for the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War left behind after Wang Zheng and Chen Dongxiang took over.
There is a vacancy for the minister, who do you think would be good to take over?"
Although the two positions of Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Minister of War are not as powerful as those of the Governor of the Three Kingdoms and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, they are also the third-rank ministers of the imperial court. Naturally, this has led to fierce competition. The Huangji Palace has been quiet for a long time.
, with the emergence of two new vacancies, it has once again fallen into excitement.
In the end, after a lot of quarrels, debates and compromises, the new Minister of War became Zhou Lang. This person was naturally a member of the "Emperor Party". The Ministry of War was in charge of the mobilization and logistics of the world's armies. Emperor Deqing would never allow others to interfere. .
As for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry, it fell into the hands of a man named Wang Ze. This person originally served as the local magistrate, and now his term is up. His qualifications, reputation, ability, etc. are all suitable. In addition, With the full support of "Shen Dang" and "Zhao Dang", he became the new Minister of Industry.
By the way, this Wang Ze is Shen Changmao's wife, and handing over the position of Minister of Industry to the "Shen Party" was also part of the deal between Zuo Lanshan and Shen Changmao last night.
The reason why Zhao Junchen allowed this kind of deal to be established was because he was sure that Shen Changmao would not be able to stay in the position of chief minister of the cabinet for a long time, even if he had the full support of the "Zhao Party". As the saying goes, the higher you climb, the more you can climb. The higher the fall, the harder the fall. Now Shen Changmao has climbed to a high position below one person and above ten thousand people. If he falls down in the future, the consequences will be disastrous. At that time, Wang Ze will have no backer. In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Industry It is the territory of the "Zhao Party", and he has no other choice except to seek refuge with Zhao Junchen, so Zhao Junchen will not worry that the Ministry of Industry will be infiltrated by the "Shen Party" because Wang Ze serves as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
In fact, Ye Shanghong, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Ma Sen, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, are both generals of the "Zhou Party". However, even though they had Zhou Shangjing as their backer, they failed to make any waves in the Ministry of Industry and the Second Ministry of Household Affairs. Zhao Junchen had no regard for these two. The control power of this yamen can be seen from this.
However, because "Shen Party" supported Chen Dongxiang of "Zhao Party" to take over as minister of the Ministry of Industry, "Zhao Party" reciprocated by supporting "Shen Party" Wang Ze as minister of the Ministry of Industry. For a time, Shen, Zhao and other parties actually There is a sense of happy cooperation and seamless cooperation, and the tensions of the past few days are no longer seen.
Of course, establishing a good relationship with the "Shen Party" is also part of Zhao Junchen's plan for the next stage.
Since he knew that Shen Changmao would fall badly next, Zhao Junchen naturally had to make preparations to improve the relationship between the two parties, strengthen communication between the two parties, and even cede some interests to reduce the vigilance of "Shen Party", so that when Shen Changmao After Mao fell, Zhao Junchen conveniently took over Shen Changmao's political legacy.
It has to be said that Zhao Junchen's wishful thinking was very loud.
As the competition for the positions of the Minister of Works and the Minister of War came to an end, the court meeting had been going on for more than an hour, and Emperor Deqing also looked tired.
"The positions of the Minister of Industry and the Minister of War have finally come to an end, and the dust has finally settled on this change..." Emperor Deqing said: "Then, do you have anything else to report to me? If not, do you have anything else to report? , let’s break up today’s court meeting.”
These words of Emperor Deqing were originally just routine.
When Emperor Deqing wanted to come, all the local memorials had been dealt with, and several vacancies in the center of the imperial court had been arranged. There should be nothing important for the time being. After the officials had nothing to report, he could After the court meeting, we took a short rest.
However, just when Emperor Deqing was about to announce the end of the morning dynasty, someone suddenly walked out of the queue and shouted: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Su Changzhen, the governor of Southern Zhili, for the ten most serious crimes!"
