The prime minister and the prince came forward first, and then more ministers echoed the words.
Whether this matter is big or small, if it is borrowed a little bit, it will definitely suppress the newly appointed Minister of Rites.
Moreover, the former head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was involved behind this matter, a public enemy who had offended the entire imperial court.
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry originally thought that by taking the lead, he could suppress young officials and vent his anger on previous incidents, killing two birds with one stone. Many officials in the court who were on the same side as him would actively cooperate with him.
Unexpectedly, after two or three sentences, the court officials actually reached a consensus, thinking that although there was something wrong with this matter, it was not a fault.
Naturally, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry would not think that the prime minister and the prince were deliberately quarreling with him. At his current age, he has already come to an end. Now all he wants is to stay in his position for one or two more years. The two powerful people in the court have no reason to follow him.
He cares.
Seeing this situation, the Minister of Industry was stunned for a moment, and then realized where he had gone wrong.
Today, there is a Japanese man standing in the court. In front of the Japanese people, if the officials of the Dahua court are not united, they will not only be laughed at by outsiders, but also expose the contradictions of their country to outsiders, which may cause trouble in the future.
It will become a potential danger for external forces to penetrate the imperial court.
It is undoubtedly a stupid decision to blame one's own officials for the opinions of foreigners. Not only does it easily give people the impression of currying favor with other countries, but if word spreads, the public opinion will naturally be bad.
The officials of the imperial court are all the imperial court's own children. If one's own children have conflicts with other children, the parents will naturally have to protect them.
Therefore, regardless of whether what the Japanese people say is true or false, from the perspective of Dahua, it is natural to protect it if you can.
Xiangshu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, took advantage of the topic and put his country's political struggle in front of envoys from other countries. Naturally, he committed a big taboo.
When the Minister of Works slowly came back to his senses, his heart trembled. When he looked at the officials around him, it seemed that every pair of eyes looked at him differently.
There is seriousness, blame, ridicule, contempt...
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry looked gloomy, and secretly thought that he was really old, and he failed to identify the key to such a matter. With his position and rank as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the imperial court would not tolerate such a mistake.
The Ministry of Finance will probably end today.
Thinking about this, the Minister of Works gave a wry smile and silently retreated into the team.
The attitude of many officials just now also proved one thing to the Japanese envoys, that is, it was impossible for the Japanese envoys to take the opportunity to cause trouble for Xia and Shang.
However, the purpose of the Japanese envoys to enter the court was obviously not as simple as asking the court to punish Xia and Shang. They also knew that the Dahua court valued this reception minister very much and would not make any remarks for such a thing.
At this moment, the Japanese envoy asked: "Since Dahua thinks this is a small matter, then I wonder if Dahua has any way to ensure that similar things will not happen again?"
Prime Minister Fu Yu was the first to raise this issue and when he proposed a solution, he turned his head and looked at Dong Guojin. After all, he was the main person in charge of the prince's wedding and he knew the situation best.
Dong Guojin caught Fu Yu's gaze and said quickly: "My subordinates are already aware of this matter. The main reason why it was a little late yesterday was that the Minister of Rites who was responsible for the handover was negligent, and my subordinates have already investigated him."
He was punished. Now that he has been replaced by someone more capable, I believe that a similar situation will never happen again."
The Japanese envoy said: "Just changing someone? Doesn't it mean that there is no responsibility for the reception of the minister? Because of what happened yesterday, our princess, prince, and the leader of the mission were all very dissatisfied with the reception of the minister. The mission believes that the Dahua court should
A new reception minister should be replaced, otherwise it will be difficult for our princess to feel at ease with the inaction of the Dahua court."
Change the reception minister...
Unexpectedly, the Japanese mission would make such a request.
Logically speaking, this is not a request. Even if nothing happens, the Japanese mission has the right to ask the court to change the reception minister.
It's just that the other party found a seemingly serious excuse for such a simple request. This can only prove the determination of the Japanese mission. This undoubtedly tells the Dahua court that this reception minister must be replaced!
Prime Minister Fu Yu frowned and looked at the ministers behind him, then at the prince above, and then at the queen who was hiding behind the curtain and remained silent.
Everyone present knew clearly, and from the words spoken by the Japanese envoy, they could feel that the reception minister had caused quite a problem in the Japanese envoy.
Thinking about who the reception minister is, it is quite reasonable.
The young man who gradually integrated the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which had been falling apart for decades, was not a kind person. He turned the entire capital upside down, let alone a small Japanese mission?
In fact, no one present knew how that person became the reception minister, although they all knew that the Queen wanted to focus on training this young man and find a smooth path for him to be promoted.
But if you want a suitable promotion path, you don't just have to be a receptionist minister. There are many other simpler ways, at least you won't let the troublemaker provoke the Japanese envoys.
At this time, no one was talking. The reception minister was appointed by the Queen, and it was up to the Queen to speak at this time.
I don’t know what the Empress’s attitude will be. If she makes the Empress angry, I don’t know what conflicts will arise unless she is replaced.
Fortunately, what everyone was worried about did not happen. After a while, the queen behind the curtain stood up, walked a few steps across the curtain, and slowly said: "Since there is a replacement, do you ministers have any other candidates?"
The ministers exchanged glances with each other, as if they were still unsure about such a candidate...
Everyone knows that it is not easy to be a reception minister, and it is difficult to get in touch with Japanese people. Before Xia Shang took office, the previous reception minister almost died.
You can't recommend such a hot position casually. If you don't pay attention, you will be hated by others.
But at this time, the Japanese envoy spoke again: "It was Dong Shangshu who personally escorted the princess back to the mission from the Prince's Palace. Our commander has great trust in Mr. Dong and hopes that Mr. Dong can personally take up the position of receiving the minister. Moreover, Mr. Dong's
If the position is high enough and we are in the mission and can personally host the wedding, we will feel more at ease."
This remark once again made people not expect that the position of receiving ministers with the position of minister is a little overqualified, but there is no explicit regulation on how many grades of officials are needed to receive ministers, so there is nothing wrong with it from the perspective of the rules.
Moreover, this time the Japanese mission spoke in person, and the other party had already expressed its wishes. The reception ministers had changed twice before, so following the other party's wishes would save some trouble.
The queen thought for a while and asked from above: "Master Dong, what do you mean?"
