Eight hundred and thirtieth eight chapters do not provoke
"With Mr. Dong's ability and talent, just being a Jing Zhaoyin is overkill."
Li Mingzhu put down a letter and stood up and said: "I have talked with my father and I plan to transfer him to Zhongshu Province after the new year. According to my father's wishes, it seems that I want Mr. Dong to take over the position of Prime Minister Shen in the future. ."
Jingzhao Yin Dong Wenyun and Li Yi had known each other since they were in Qing'an Mansion. Of course, at that time, they didn't know that he was Prime Minister Shen's son-in-law... It sounds normal for a son-in-law to take over from his father-in-law, but there is something else in the Shen family. As a high official in the court, I wonder if my brother-in-law and brother-in-law will fight over their position...
Of course, this is a family matter of the Shen family, so he has nothing to worry about.
Speaking of this matter, Li Yi looked at her and asked: "Jing Zhaoyin's position is very important. After Master Dong is transferred, who do you plan to let take over?"
Li Mingzhu casually took a letter from the table and said, "This is the candidate submitted by the Minister of Finance."
"Actually, the most suitable person for this position is Liu Dayou, the capital magistrate. He is suitable to be a parent officer, and he can only be a parent officer. If he reaches the position of Jing Zhaoyin, there is no need for him to go up, and he will be Qu Cai at the bottom... "Li Mingzhu said something, then shook his head and said: "But his qualifications are still relatively low. If he is promoted by force, he will inevitably arouse criticism. We can only wait until later to consider it."
"The Cui family, the Qin family, the Han family..." Li Yi looked at the envelope and said, "They are really good at picking people. It seems they are determined to get this position."
I once heard Chen Chong mention that day that the Cui family was determined to win the position of Jing Zhaoyin. Among these nominations, almost all of them were officials from the Shu king's line. No matter how they were selected, they could not avoid it.
Li Mingzhu walked over and said slowly: "Zeng Shichun, the Minister of Household Affairs, is an extremely capable person. If we really have to choose from among these people, he is the only one who can take on this important task."
Not to mention that she is only temporarily acting as an agent of the government. Even if he is a real emperor, when appointing some important officials in the government, he has to draft candidates from below and then choose one of them. If he ignores the opinions of the ministers and insists on going his own way, the government will be in chaos. .
Of course, she is different from her father. His father can do things like special promotions, but she is somewhat unfair.
Although Zeng Shichun's name was ranked very low, after careful consideration, she still felt that if she had to choose one of these people, Zeng Shichun was the most suitable.
"It's unreasonable to be promoted from the Minister of Household Affairs to Jing Zhaoyin..." Li Yi shook his head. In order to make up the numbers, the Shu kings really reported everyone to the report. Zeng Shichun was in the Household Department, and it was very likely that he would take over in the future. The position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance is not much better than that of Jing Zhaoyin?
Although Qin Shangshu is in his prime, the chance of being beaten to death by Zeng Shichun or making a major political mistake is very small, but there is always a glimmer of hope, right?
Li Yi continued: "Besides, although Zeng Shichun is capable, he is too lazy and leaves early every day before he is released from office. How can he be a qualified Jing Zhaoyin?"
After all, Lao Zeng is different from those of the Qin family and the Cui family. This is a journey in troubled waters. In order to prevent any trouble in the future, let him be his minister of household affairs.
Li Mingzhu looked at him in surprise, "Do you really have any prejudice against Zeng Shichun, the Minister of Household Affairs?"
"It's just a matter of fact." Li Yi shook his head and said, "Even if Zeng Shichun is here, I dare to say this to his face."
"Your Highness, the former minister of the Ministry of Revenue came to the palace to report on his duties. Now he is waiting outside the palace." A eunuch came in and bowed.
Li Mingzhu glanced at Li Yi and said, "Let him come in."
Zeng Shichun must have just returned to Beijing. He had not gone home to change clothes. He looked dusty. He handed over a memorial with both hands and said: "I was ordered to supervise the taxation of money and grain in the Beijing-Hebei region. It has been completed. This is a detailed list.
Please take a look at it, Your Highness."
When the eunuch took the fold and handed it over, he raised his head, glanced at Li Yi very vaguely, and stood still.
Li Mingzhu looked through it in detail before nodding and saying: "Very good, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zeng."
"This is my duty." Zeng Shichun bowed again, "If Your Highness has nothing else to do, I will leave."
After Zeng Shichun left, Li Mingzhu came over with the list and asked: "Then who do you think should take over this position?"
Li Yi looked around, thought for a moment, and then said: "Just do what you want."
Among these people, Zeng Shichun has a special status. Those in the Shu King's line would never have thought that the eldest princess would push the current Minister of Household Affairs to the position of Jing Zhaoyin, so he was purely here to make up for the position.
In this way, their arrangements and plans can be disrupted, which will also be beneficial to future actions. After all, Mr. Zeng is a good opponent, and you can only meet him once and for all.
Thinking of the things Chen Chong said, he asked casually, "By the way, there is one more thing. There is a Chu Daru, are you familiar with him?"
Li Mingzhu suddenly looked up at him and said in surprise: "Mr. Chu?"
Li Yi shook his head, "What kind of tutor? I don't know. Chen Chong said he was the "Jingguo Wenxin"..."
Li Mingzhu looked at him rather nervously and asked: "Mr. Chu just returned to Beijing. What happened? You met him. There was no conflict, right?"
"I just heard someone say that I haven't even seen each other, so how can we talk about conflict?" Li Yi looked at her in surprise and said, "Do I seem to be someone who conflicts with others so easily?"
"Taifu Chu was once the husband of his father, including Prime Minister Qin and Prime Minister Shen, who were also taught by him. He was once in charge of the Imperial College and the Hongwen Hall. Almost most of the current princes and nobles in Kyoto and the officials in the court can be regarded as his.
"Student, Master Chu is someone who is admired by scholars all over the world..." Li Mingzhu looked at him and said seriously: "If you meet him, you'd better respect him. If something happens, not even the emperor will be able to protect you."
"
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Why did I provoke him? I'm worried that he'll blackmail me..." Li Yi shook his head and waved goodbye: "You continue to work, I'm leaving."
"Remember, the Chu family is not to be messed with." Li Mingzhu reminded her uneasily.
Li Yi waved his hand casually, "I know, I won't provoke them for no reason."
When I walked out, I was still a little confused and depressed.
How come I have never heard of this Mr. Chu before? According to Her Royal Highness the Princess, this old man has extremely high prestige and influence whether in the government or in the official circles, and Her Royal Highness may not be able to compare with him.
If such people were recruited by the King of Shu, wouldn't their previous efforts be in vain?
When Li Yi walked out of the palace gate, Zeng Shichun's figure was still walking slowly in front of him.
Hearing the voice behind him, Zeng Shichun turned his head and cupped his hands: "Zeng needs to thank Li County Marquis."
Li Yi was surprised and said: "Why are you thanking me?"
Zeng Shichun looked at him and said: "If it weren't for Li County Marquis, Zeng might not have to run around these days, and his life would be easier."
"You're welcome, that's right."
Li Yi waved his hand and said: "A pillar of the country like Mr. Zeng must serve the country more. Her Royal Highness just said that Mr. Zeng has outstanding abilities and does his job beautifully. It is also appropriate to work harder."
Zeng Shichun raised his eyebrows: "On weekdays, the Marquis of Li County doesn't speak kindly to Zeng in front of Her Royal Highness, right?"
"That's natural." Li Yi nodded, then waved his hand and said: "It's agreed, it should be done. You're welcome, Mr. Zeng."
The two walked side by side. After walking out of the palace gate, Li Yi turned back and asked: "Last time in the teahouse, I heard Master Zeng talk about the East Palace. I haven't heard Master Zeng's opinion yet."
Zeng Shichun looked at him, his eyes condensed, and then he smiled and said: "Zeng thinks that Mr. Li is right. This is a royal matter and should be decided by His Majesty's Sacred Heart. We and other foreign ministers should not worry about it."
Li Yi nodded, looked at him, and said solemnly: "I'm afraid Mr. Zeng should be more prepared to take on important responsibilities..."
Zeng Shichun was startled, a trace of doubt appeared on his face, "What does Li Xianhou mean?"
