The Tai Chi Hall was filled with an awkward atmosphere.
Originally, Wang Gui and others thought that the magistrates from ten counties came together to impeach Du He for causing trouble.
Who would have known that these guys actually came to ask His Majesty to coordinate and join the Ten County Alliance.
Magistrate Zhou looked at Wang Gui with an incredible expression.
Wang Gui wished he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl in.
Li Er was also stunned and asked: "Zhou Aiqing, I heard that after the establishment of the Ten-County Alliance, they turned to beggar-thy-neighbors and diverted disasters to the east. In the ten counties that have not joined the Ten-County Alliance, people are panicked and the people are in dire straits. Is this possible?"
Magistrate Zhou immediately said: "Your Majesty, this matter is completely false and is nonsense!"
Other county magistrates also said it was impossible.
The main purpose of these guys is to join the Ten Counties Alliance. Even if there are problems within their jurisdiction, they will not dare to raise them. Otherwise, if Du He finds out, there will be no hope of joining the Ten Counties Alliance."
Wang Gui and others were dumbfounded again.
A few words from the ten county magistrates overturned all their previous efforts.
Li Er glanced at the ministers who had just impeached Du He, intentionally or unintentionally, with a somewhat unpleasant look on his face.
One by one, the ministers lowered their heads and did not dare to speak any more.
Li Er said in a deep voice: "Zhou Aiqing, I already know about you. If the counties under your jurisdiction also join the Ten County Alliance, wouldn't it mean that the entire Jingzhao Prefecture has joined the Ten County Alliance and is controlled by the Ten County Alliance?
If this is the case, what is the use of the Jingzhao Mansion? Have you guys thought about it clearly?"
Magistrate Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, joining the Ten Counties Alliance has many benefits. The most important thing is that it can solve the problems of tax collection and public security. I believe that joining the Ten County Alliance is imminent."
Li Er nodded, and then said: "My dear friends, whether it is the alliance of ten counties or the alliance leader, it is always inconsistent with our legal system of the Tang Dynasty. In this case, it is better to transfer Du He to Jingzhao Mansion, so that he can control the entire Jingzhao.
Mansion, I want to promote Du He to be the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion..."
This is the plan to promote Du He.
Anyway, since the establishment of the Ten County Alliance, among the twelve counties including Wannian, the influence of Jingzhao Prefecture has existed in name only.
Li Er then thought of promoting Du He to the position of Shaoyin in Jingzhao Mansion.
Li Er's words caused an uproar.
Many people were immediately shocked.
The governor of Jingzhao is a senior official of the fourth rank.
Now, Du He is only in the eighth grade.
Is this a four-level jump?
The most important thing is that from the fourth rank, he is already considered an important minister in the court, and he also controls the entire Jingzhao Mansion.
Wang Gui, Changsun Wuji and others looked at each other and saw the meaning in each other's eyes: opposition!
Must be firmly opposed!
It was not easy for everyone to get Du He to be a ninth-grade Wannian County magistrate. Who would have known that this guy was very lucky. He got Gao Yuanzhi, the original Wannian County Magistrate, and turned himself into a Wannian County Magistrate.
.
It hasn't been that long, are you going to be promoted to Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion?
This guy is blooming like a sesame!
Changsun Wuji was the first to jump out and object: "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate."
Um?
Li Er looked at Changsun Wuji curiously.
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, according to the tradition of the Tang Dynasty, it takes three years for anyone who serves as a local magistrate to be promoted. The purpose is to make local officials understand the sufferings of the people and benefit the people. Now, Du He can only serve as a county magistrate for ten thousand years.
For half a year, he was not familiar with everything in Wannian County, and he had not done much great things for the people of Wannian County. He was promoted rashly, and he was afraid that he would not be able to convince the public. Besides, Du He was still young and inexperienced. If he was promoted to an official position, he would not be able to win.
Too fast is tantamount to overthrowing the growth of the country and only harming himself."
Wang Gui also said: "Your Majesty, what Lord Changsun said makes sense. Du He has served as the county magistrate for ten thousand years, so he should have a good experience. The young Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture is an assistant officer, but he only picks up people and makes up for the omissions of the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture.
That’s all, it’s not a good thing for Du He.”
Chen Shuda said: "I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
More than a dozen ministers said one after another.
In order to prevent Du He from being promoted, these guys tried their best.
Li Er suddenly became a little annoyed.
Although he could go his own way and decide the matter, it would not be conducive to the harmony between the king and his ministers.
He sneered and said: "According to your beloved ministers, Du He, a meritorious minister, can't be rewarded? I'm here to ask you, since Du He has been the county magistrate for ten thousand years, the city of Chang'an has been peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Twelve counties admire Du He and want to join the Ten County Alliance one after another. Who can achieve such feats? Our Tang Dynasty has no tolerance for others. If we treat heroes like this, what will the people of the world think of it?
I, what do you think of you?"
When everyone heard this, they all knew that Li Er was angry.
It seems that Du He's promotion cannot be suppressed.
Chen Shuda rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have an idea."
"My dear, please tell me!"
Chen Shuda smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty is right. I have just waited for Meng Lang. Meritorious ministers should indeed be rewarded and promoted... I suggest that Du He be promoted to the position of chief minister of Jingzhao Prefecture to join the army and lead the army."
There are two matters within the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion: commercial taxation and public security. The official position is from the sixth rank, what do you think, Your Majesty?"
Li Er hasn't spoken yet.
I heard Wang Gui and others excitedly say: "Your Majesty, I think Master Chen's proposal is very pertinent."
Changsun Wuji also said: "As the leader of the ten-county alliance, Du He has already been in charge of the commercial taxation and public security of the entire Jingzhao Prefecture. Now, it is most appropriate for him to serve as the chief minister of Jingzhao Prefecture and join the army."
Chen Shuda's proposal immediately won the approval of many people.
Seeing this, Li Er nodded: "In that case, let Du He serve as the chief minister of Jingzhao Prefecture and join the army to take charge of commercial taxation and public security within the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture. Wei Shuyu will be appointed as the magistrate of Wannian County, and the magistrate of Huxian County will be selected.
, recommended by the official department."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Everyone praised him.
After retreating from the court.
As soon as Chen Shuda walked outside, many officials came up to flatter him.
"Oh, Mr. Chen, I didn't expect that you would come up with such an excellent idea. I'm really impressed and admired!"
"Master Chen is a real master. With this suggestion, Du He will be promoted and become a financial manager. If Du He doesn't have any conspicuous achievements, he may only be an assistant officer in his life.
.”
"Master Chen, Gao Ming!"
One by one, officials said.
Chen Shuda smiled and said nothing.
His suggestions are indeed cruel.
Although Du He's rank was raised from the eighth grade to the sixth grade, it seemed that he had been promoted.
But when Sihu of Jingzhao Prefecture joined the army, he was just a small-time soldier.
Moreover, according to the tradition since the Qin Dynasty, those with promising futures were appointed as local county magistrates, chief officials of a state, and then directly entered the court.
If you serve as an assistant officer, it will be difficult to make a difference in your life. The reason is simple. As an assistant officer, no matter how well you do, it is also the credit of your immediate boss. It has something to do with you. Once something goes wrong with your boss, you will be the one who takes the blame.
.
Chen Shuda's suggestion put Du He into a dark situation.
