Cen Wenwen was originally a servant, but now if he is transferred to the position of secretary, his powers and responsibilities will not change much. Therefore, he is calm and doesn't care too much. He just frowns and ponders the emperor's intention without saying a word. Seems to be staying out of it.
You can agree or disagree...
As the Duke of the Song Dynasty, Xiao Yu had great achievements and qualifications. He was one of the few big shots in the court. Although he had no actual power in recent years, as a pillar of the Qing Dynasty and a scholar leader, he had always been one of the best in the central government. After the death of Wei Zheng, the big bosses, especially Fang Xuanling, became an official, and their status became increasingly prominent.
He was naturally delighted with the position of Sikong. After all, this was the court's recognition of him.
The position of Prince Taibao is an unexpected blessing...
After all, the status of the prince is now more and more stable. It is almost a foregone conclusion that he will become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future. There are no variables. If he can become the prince's guardian today and help the prince ascend the throne as the emperor, then it is the merit of following the dragon. The Xiao family can bear this. Decades of blessings.
Of course, if everything comes to nothing, it won't be too disappointing.
Among the many transfers, only Liu Jie was the most excited...
Liu Jie felt that he had never encountered such a tormenting and uneasy moment in his life. He was afraid that someone would jump out and say "Liu Jie can't do it"...
That is to say, I am afraid that I will lose this opportunity that has fallen into my hands to become the prime minister, and I am even more afraid that I will not be able to help but fight against those who oppose me.
Cutting off someone's financial path is like killing one's parents. Blocking a person's path to becoming a minister is just like killing a family. Either you die or I die!
…
During Liu Jie's suffering, the hall experienced silence for half a quarter of an hour.
After a long while, someone came out and said: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and the candle shines thousands of miles away. I have no objections from the humble ministers. I will definitely obey your Majesty's will and serve the king with all my heart!"
The ministers' eyelids twitched again.
Only a shameless person like Fang Jun can say such flattering words... You sycophant!
Fang Jun ignored the strange looks around him and said plausibly: "Liu Sidao was born in a humble background and once went astray. However, he corrected his evil ways and returned to the right path. Since he became an official in the Tang Dynasty, he has outlined the whole system to consult the saint Jiayou, the talk of national scholars, and the discussion of Tilang Temple. Qi, upright, honest and self-responsible, has always been a model for courtiers! Why is this so? When I meet Zaofu, I am making great progress with each passing day. The British Lord selects the virtuous, regardless of rank. My emperor has a broad mind and swallows up the world. The wise and capable men are willing to follow his guidance. The splendor of the Tang Dynasty has flourished for thousands of years!"
Among the crowd, Jingzhao Yin and Mazhou's cheeks twitched and almost vomited...
How can you, Fang Er, have the nerve to say such flattering words?
Li Ji, Cen Wenwen, Li Daozong and others all looked at Fang Jun with contempt. When it comes to shamelessness, no one can compare with Fang Jun! However, despite their contempt, they could not help but secretly admire that these words were all flattering. It's a word, but in reality it's also meant to be a joke, a veiled admonishment to the emperor, you've almost got it, don't be too aggressive!
"Outline the entire area, consult with the Holy Saint Jiayou, talk about the national scholars, and use the equipment of the temple", is this what Liu Jie can afford?
It is clearly saying that Your Majesty, you have conquered mountains and rivers, and you are a great leader. We will listen to everything you say. Just like "meeting Zaofu, you can make a thousand miles with a day". We are willing to follow you to create a prosperous age. However, you also have to understand the importance and cannot control the important affairs of the court. Just treat it like a child's play, do whatever you want...
Of course, the meaning of remonstrance is too thin, and the overwhelming element is flattery.
Liu Ji was almost moved to tears at this moment.
He naturally understood the meaning of Fang Jun's words, but he didn't care at all. He only knew that among the civil and military officials in the palace, only Fang Jun was willing to express his approval of the emperor's appointment and praised him very much.
, although even Liu Ji himself blushed with such remarks...
But that's not important!
What matters is Fang Jun's attitude. With Fang Jun's current connections and status in the court, once these words are spoken, it means that his faction is completely on the side of approval.
Power and interests are the eternal theme of struggle between the government and the government.
But he never expected that Fang Jun, who had been with him up and down, far and near, and not too fond of him, could say a "fair" word at this time, and those who had always promised him
There are countless benefits and people who are trying to win over him all the time, but they stand aside indifferently, as if waiting to see his jokes.
Fang Er, a good man...
His Majesty Li Er was sitting behind the court case, looking at Fang Jun with a faint look.
He was really puzzled. This man looked thick-browed, big-eyed, and honest, but how could he say such flattering words so confidently and righteously?
He also had to admit that this boy did have the talent of a sycophant. If he were not the emperor of the Holy Emperor, and if he were replaced by a foolish emperor, this boy would have to be a treacherous minister like Zhao Gao who confuses the emperor and deceives the emperor...
Even the words of admonishment have to be hidden in a large piece of flattery. How can there be any appearance of an upright minister?
However, he was still very pleased with Fang Jun's statement.
A good minister should worry about the emperor's worries and think about what the emperor wants...
As expected, after Fang Jun made his statement, Ma Zhou, the imperial minister of the capital, also said: "What Fang Prince Consort said is true. Your Majesty is arbitrary and can make decisions for thousands of miles. There is absolutely no objection to the appointment of such a humble minister."
"I also second my opinion."
"Your Majesty is wise and I have no objection."
…
Li Ji left the office and said: "The ministers seconded the proposal. Later, the ministers ordered the officials and the ministers to go to the provinces and draw up official transfer orders, so that the newly appointed ministers can fulfill their duties as soon as possible, stabilize the government, and ensure smooth government affairs for the coming year.
Be fully prepared for the Eastern March at the beginning of spring."
His Majesty Li Er nodded and smiled: "Let's go and do it with Mao Gong. I'm very relieved."
"Here!"
Li Ji retreated.
His Majesty Li Er looked around at the ministers in the palace, especially at Fang Jun, and said: "Let's stop here for today. At the court meeting in a few days, I will ask all the prime ministers and assistants to seek your opinions on the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department.
I also hope that all of you, dear friends, can think carefully and offer your advice."
"Here!"
"Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body. I will take your leave!"
…
All the ministers left with their own thoughts.
Fang Jun and Ma Zhou walked out of the hall side by side, and Liu Ji came over, hugged Fang Jun with a fist, and said with great emotion: "Erlang has great righteousness, I will remember it for five years!"
He was really moved.
When Cen Wenwen moved to Zhongshu Ling, the position of Shizhong was vacated. God knows how many people were watching! Even if the emperor wanted to succeed him, as a king, he should balance the interests of all parties. It is difficult to say that he would insist on letting him go his own way.
Come and be this official.
But it's different when Fang Jun stands up. With Fang Jun's current status and connections, at least Li Ji, Ma Zhou, Xiao Yu, Li Daozong and others will not express their opposition clearly, but Changsun Wuji and others who covet this position
People have to worry about whether they will force him, Liu Jie, to go to Fang Jun if they interfere...
Therefore, when Fang Jun stepped forward, a delicate balance was suddenly reached between all parties. He was not very sure that he could seize the position of servant and at the same time completely offend Liu Jie. No one could
Don't dare to act rashly.
It can be said that it was precisely because Fang Jun stepped forward that the official position of the servant fell to him without any risk...
Fang Jun laughed, clasped his fists and returned the greeting: "Liu Zhongcheng... now I have to change my name to Liu Shizhong. Liu Shizhong's ability is obvious to all. Your Majesty is very aware of people's abilities and is good at responsibilities. I am just pushing people along, and I will never dare to be thanked by Liu Shizhong. I am the same as Liu Shizhong."
Your Majesty's ministers should fulfill their loyal duties and share your Majesty's worries. They are all doing things for Your Majesty, so what difference does it make in what position?"
Liu Ji's eyelids twitched, and he cursed in his heart: You are speaking so righteously and selflessly now, do you think I don't know how hard you worked for the position of Minister of War? Only a devil will believe your nonsense...
However, there was still a bright smile on his face: "Erlang's awakening really makes me ashamed! I won't bother you anymore. In two days, I will prepare a banquet and invite Erlang and Prince Bin to come over to the house to have a drunken time together!"
Ma Zhou hurriedly said: "Thank you very much, Liu Shizhong. I will definitely attend the appointment when I get off the job."
Fang Jun also said: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful. Then I will be waiting for your official post."
Liu Jiezhi was so proud that he laughed, patted Fang Jun's shoulder affectionately, winked and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Erlang, I know all about your ambition, and there will be consequences for you!"
After saying that, leave quickly.
Ma Zhou stood on the stone steps, looking at the back of Liu Ji as he quickly left, and chuckled: "Erlang is really good at planning. Liu Ji seems to be a lone minister, but behind him is the entire Yushitai.
"
Fang Jun laughed, walked side by side with Ma Zhou, and whispered: "The one who knows me is Ma Zhou!"
No good, he will jump out to support Liu Ji?
He didn't have such a good relationship with Liu Jicai, so he had to repay something in return...
