Although some officials secretly said that the more idiotic the emperor is, the better. Strong work ability is not necessarily a good thing. If he continues to seize power and is mean and ungrateful, only a mediocre king is in the interest of all officials.
But ministers who are really in charge of political affairs all know how desperate it is to have an emperor who "why not eat minced meat"?
No matter how hard you work and how many people you sacrifice, the results will be gone with just one word.
Only those who are knowledgeable and talented, but also personable, humble to others, make people feel like spring breeze, take charge of things when they should do it, and be humble enough to be taught when they should be taught. Only such a person can be called a son of a dragon or a phoenix grandchild!
Although as pavilion elders, they cannot reveal their personal preferences easily, but as long as it does not involve seizing the heir or secrets, they are happy to give more guidance to the humble grandson.
Xie Zhi stroked his beard and smiled: "You don't have to be like this on behalf of the Duke. This matter is just mentioned casually by the ministers. Since you have already said that you do not plan to refine the elixir for a long time, it is just out of curiosity, so the ministers can rest assured."
"I think so. It's normal for young people to be curious about this. When I was young, I was also curious about this Tao, but because of my father's advice, I didn't follow the heretic."
Zhao Xulin also said: "Dai Guogong is talented and reads a lot. When he sees it, he wants to practice it. It is indeed normal."
This episode has passed.
Cui Zhaoquan glanced around and held his teacup again, but he couldn't help but secretly sigh: "As expected of the emperor's grandson, it only took half a month to influence the attitude of the cabinet."
"When I first joined the cabinet to observe politics, even if I used calligraphy and painting to do business and attracted a few adults to teach me, at that time, everyone was neutral and cold, and the teaching would inevitably be perfunctory."
"But what about now? In just half a month, Duke Dai has gained a change of heart from all of you."
Thinking about my attitude half a month ago and my attitude half a month later, there is a world of difference.
But this is not difficult to understand. For example, the three kings who have grown up and work in the court once came to the cabinet to observe the government. However, among the three kings, even the King of Shu with the best reputation seems to be gentle and polite, but he is humble.
It's not natural. When I'm watching the government, I can't do all the big and small things patiently, but I don't want to do the things that petty officials do, because I feel that I have lost my status.
Not to mention the King of Qi, Cui Zhaoquan is the Minister of the Ministry of War. Even though he is a second-ranked Jinshi, he is considered a rude person in the eyes of some civil servants because of his many contacts with warriors.
He didn't like doing trivial things and couldn't sit still, so his reputation among civil servants was even worse.
If he hadn't won the favor of the military attache group, he was brave and suppressed the two kings to the point where they could hardly breathe, and he was truly the first choice to seize the throne, I'm afraid he would have been secretly ridiculed long ago.
As for King Lu, he doesn’t leave a deep impression on people. He used to like to have fun, he had a cheerful temperament but never did anything outrageous, and he didn’t stand out when trouble came. He was very mediocre when observing government affairs in the cabinet. Naturally, the impressions of the cabinet ministers on King Lu were just that.
generally.
Even if the advantages of these three people were concentrated in one person, they would still be far less outstanding than Dai Guogong.
"Yes, with such a celestial figure, he works conscientiously, makes no mistakes in his explanations, and never comes up with new ideas. Although he is the grandson of the emperor, he has a humble attitude and makes people feel like spring breeze. How can people not like him?"
"What on earth was I thinking that day in the southwest? Why would I want to sacrifice Duke Dai in exchange for a little bit of money? Such an outstanding young man, even if he is not the grandson of the emperor, will definitely become a pillar of the imperial court. Was I really obsessed at that time?
Already?"
When I came back from the southwest, I never regretted making that decision. When I learned that Su Zi was the emperor's grandson, I was just afraid. But it wasn't until I saw that the emperor's grandson could have such influence in the cabinet for only half a month that I
I really feel confused about what I did that day.
Can a person really change so much?
Cui Zhaoquan didn't believe that in just one year or so, people could go from ordinary to outstanding. The reason why they had different perceptions before and after, or maybe it was just the different time, place and identity that led to the different opinions.
"Fortunately, Duke Dai did not die in the southwest because of me, otherwise, I might become Dazheng's sinner." At one moment, Cui Zhaoquan even had such an idea.
"Actually, it's just that I'm good-looking."
Su Ziji didn't know that Cui Zhaoquan was thinking so much. If he knew, he would say this objectively. At least half of the reason is that he is handsome.
Many people have the misunderstanding that handsome people are just pretty boys.
In fact, if you are a boss and a monarch, you are handsome and have a good demeanor. It is no problem to defeat not only a million soldiers, but also a hundred thousand soldiers. Many people will naturally be loyal!
Everyone drank hot tea, warmed their hands, and started today's work.
"Duke, here comes the zhezi." The eighth- and ninth-grade officials in the hall were waiting with their hands down. When they saw them all starting to work, they came up with the zhezi with smiles on their faces, put them on the case, and wiped their hands with their bullet jackets to say hello, with a respectful attitude.
.
Different from half a month ago, Su Ziji did not sit at the bottom to watch the Pavilion Master finish reviewing the excerpts, but was already sitting in the front. Although he did not have the right to give instructions, he was the one who classified the excerpts.
After reading the excerpts in advance, put the most important ones in one place, the generally important ones together, and the unimportant ones in one place. By classifying the three places, the three cabinet elders can deal with the important ones first, and save the unimportant ones for last.
.
This kind of power seems very small, but it is actually very large. It is a sign of trust.
If this is not fully confirmed this month, it will not be given.
"Officials in Henan North County colluded with each other to exploit the people? Buying and selling officials? There is evidence, and it is placed in a generally important place."
"An auspicious white turtle was found in the Xijiang waters of Xijiang Prefecture? Could it be man-made again? Put it in an unimportant place."
After Su Ziji read the two copies in turn, he thought of something. He lowered his eyes and saw half a piece of red sandalwood floating in his field of vision: "[The Way of Government] Level 14 (8550/14000)"
"For half a month, I have asked for advice every day, basically hollowing out the knowledge of cabinet ministers. Now every time I ask for advice, I only give 10 points and no experience."
"The gold mines in the cabinet have been dug out, and the emperor's patience is not good. He has been slow to move for half a month, and I'm afraid he won't be able to wait any longer. My mission is actually to create obstacles for the kings, disgust them, and contain them, not
It really made me study politics seriously."
"Perhaps the more favorable the cabinet is, the more uncomfortable the emperor will feel."
"But to complete this task, we must be reasonable and disciplined. Again, when you put water in a chamber pot, it feels good for a while, but the stinky smell is difficult to clean for a lifetime."
"So, King Shu, I'm sorry, I can only bite you." Su Ziji put a piece of paper to one side, and at the same time said in his heart: "I will act on behalf of the Duke with iron bones and will be online today!"
After that, all the folds in front of me were basically classified, and small officials continued to bring the folds.
After a while, there will still be a pile of papers piled up here. After all, there are so many counties in the country, and all the papers must be gathered here first, and then sent to the emperor for review and classification. The number alone is amazing.
While waiting for tea to be served, Xie Zhi drank tea slowly and glanced at Dai Guogong with a solemn expression as he looked at a piece of paper with his slightly smiling eyes.
