Qi Tai was stunned for a moment and said, "Well, Li Ren, your Majesty wants him to take over the post of Dong Auxiliary Officer?" Qi Tai asked this question relying on his close relationship with Yunxi.
Yunxi said: "Li Ren serves as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."
"During the Luxie Rebellion, the Chief Minister of Shandong died for his country. Later, I appointed the Chief Minister of Caojiang to take over. Now the Chief Minister of Caojiang is still vacant. I plan to appoint Lian Zining as the Chief Minister of Caojiang."
"Your Majesty, this is..." Qitai said.
"Do you think that, sitting on a high platform, I can't see the tit-for-tat between Lian Qing and you?"
Yunxi sighed and said: "Of course Lian Qing is very talented, but he is a bit arbitrary. It would be better if I could handle everything myself like when Grandpa Huang was here. Now that you have several assistants, he will definitely work with you." You two have a conflict."
"You are the younger of the two assistant civil officers, so naturally I will have more conflicts with you."
In fact, Yunxi also knew that Lian Zining and Qi Tai had many conflicts, not only because Qi Tai was junior and Lian Zining was arbitrary, but also because Qi Tai was also Yunxi's confidant.
For Lian Zining, Baozhao is just a withered bone in the grave. Although Yunxi still trusts him now, he is not Yunxi's confidant after all. He is too old and does not have much time left in the court. There is no need to target him. : There is no need to target the two military auxiliaries. There is basically no overlap in the powers and responsibilities of the two sides. Even if you want to target them, it is difficult to target them.
Qi Tai is still young and is Yunxi's confidant. If Lian Zining wants to further his status and become the number one civil servant under Yunxi, he must exclude Qi Tai. Lian Zining himself may not want to He understands this, but this is what he does. For this goal, Lian Zining consciously or unconsciously conflicts with many people.
Of course, this was also because he was arrogant. But no matter what, Yunxi could not let him continue like this.
Being sent out to another place to allow Lian Zining to calm down will be beneficial to Yunxi in steadily advancing his reforms, and it may not be a bad thing for him himself.
The only problem is that Lian Zining may be disappointed with Yunxi, but Yunxi is also prepared. Yunxi will immediately give him three important tasks in person, in case he feels that he has been exiled in disguise.
Yunxi continued: "I will appoint Xie Jin to take over your vacant Winter Auxiliary Officer. His "History of the Yuan Dynasty" has also been rewritten to include biographies. He also edited the "Records of Taizu" before, which can be regarded as a great achievement for his hard work. But because These have nothing to do with the previous counter-rebellion, and there is no way to promote him. Therefore, I appointed him as the Winter Auxiliary Officer and added the title of Zhan Shifu as a reward for his hard work."
"But, Your Majesty, Xie Jin is still editing "History of the Yuan Dynasty", so I'm afraid he won't have much time to deal with political affairs." Qitai said.
"Xia Yuanji, Su Youxue, Yang Shiqi and other people from the middle school can do it for me. Didn't I ask them to prepare the memorial before? Besides," Yunxi raised his head and looked in the direction of Gongyuan, and continued: "The general examination is coming soon. It’s been held, this year’s Jinshi? They will be out soon.” How could Yunxi forget the talents of this class in the second year of Jianwen in history.
Of course Qi Tai didn't know that there were many outstanding talents in the second year of Jianwen in history, but when he saw Yunxi looking towards Gongyuan, he thought to himself: 'Among these candidates this year, are there any talents that His Majesty is very optimistic about? It's the one that His Majesty previously Did you meet him when you left the palace? I don't know what kind of person he was.'
As for whether this person can be admitted to the Jinshi examination, Qi Tai is not worried at all. Although under normal circumstances the emperor will not directly intervene in the examination, but if he wants to appoint someone as a Gongshi examiner, he would not dare not listen. The subsequent palace examination is even less likely.
but.
Yunxi had already finished what he wanted to give, and handed him the memorial for Qitai. He turned to Wang Xi and said, "Send Lian Zining over."
He went to another room.
After a while, Lian Zining rushed to the room, saluted Yunxi and said, "I, Lian Zining, have met your Majesty."
Yunxi said: "Lian Qing is exempt from courtesy."
Lian Zining stood up and asked: "Your Majesty, why are you summoning me here?"
"I have an important task to entrust to you." Yunxi said: "After dealing with illegal officials in the five provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang last year, I made a careful investigation and found that there are many problems in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I heard that there are quite a few people in the area who use official land for private purposes.
The matter of taking it as private land needs to be thoroughly rectified."
"I would like to appoint you as the Chief Inspector of Caojiang to investigate and deal with these matters. And in order to facilitate your investigation and management, I will appoint you to concurrently serve as the Chief Inspector of Caojiang to rectify Caojiang."
"Yes, Your Majesty." No matter what he was thinking, since His Majesty spoke to him in a commanding tone, Lian Zining had to accept it.
But after accepting it, Lian Zining couldn't help but think: "Your Majesty really just thinks that I am suitable to rectify Cao Jiang, and it has nothing to do with the conflict with Qi Tai?" He didn't think that His Majesty saw the conflict between him and Qi Tai.
Not coming out. But he has a clear conscience and has no conflict with Qi Tai out of selfish motives, so he is not afraid of being seen out.
I don't know if Yunxi could see what Lian Zining was thinking. Anyway, he continued to follow his own thoughts and said: "There is one more thing that I want you to pay more attention to."
"Years ago, the Hangzhou Mansion came to report that King Wu's Mansion has been completed. King Wu is already twenty-four years old this year, so I can't let him seal it. However, so when you are in Hangzhou, always pay attention to King Wu."
Yunxi spoke half-heartedly, but Lian Zining thought he understood clearly: "As the eldest brother of His Majesty, King Wu cannot be sent to a random place to become the king. It must be a good place to show that Yunxi cares about it."
I am respectful to my eldest brother; but Your Majesty is a little worried that King Wu has inappropriate thoughts, so he asked me to pay attention to him at all times.'
Lian Zining immediately realized that he had a heavy responsibility, and did not doubt that Yunxi had exiled him in disguise. He bowed and said, "I know."
However, Lian Zining misunderstood, although Yunxi deliberately made him understand wrong. Yunxi was not worried that Yunwen had inappropriate thoughts, he was worried that someone in Caojiang was taking advantage of Yunwen. If Yunwen was treated as a human being
It will be a problem whether he will take advantage of it or not, so it is better to take precautions from the beginning.
He somewhat regretted that he had conferred the title of Yun Wen to Hangzhou, but it was not good to change the title for no reason, so he had to do this first.
Moreover, Yunxi whispered another thing into Lian Zining's ear: "..., do you understand?"
Lian Zining's expression became even happier at this time, and he bowed and said, "I will definitely satisfy His Majesty in due time."
After Lian Zining went down, Yunxi summoned Li Ren again. Li Ren had always been unfazed by favors and insults, and when he learned that he had been appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he just bowed lightly and saluted.
However, Yunxi noticed that when he went out, his toes hit the threshold.
