As a queen, she asked the officials for their opinions on the deployment of officials. These words made Dong Guojin a little frightened, and he quickly knelt on the ground: "I will follow the arrangements of the emperor and the empress."
The Queen did not respond immediately and asked again: "What are your opinions, sir?"
"Dong Shangshu is a high-ranking official of the second rank. It seems a bit inappropriate to be a receptionist in person."
The Minister of Industry came out again and said: "The etiquette does not specify the level of officials who serve as reception ministers. Just like the current reception minister, he is just an editor of the Hanlin Academy and is a non-staff member. If it is appropriate,
, this editor seems even more inappropriate."
"That's a good statement. The position of the Minister of Reception does not matter the size, but should be appropriate. Since the Japanese mission has a favorable impression of Mr. Dong, it should be easier for them to communicate with Mr. Dong as the Minister of Reception. And judging from what happened yesterday, the Minister of Rites
I also saw that the editor's official position was too low, so I was negligent. If Mr. Dong were to be in charge of the mission in person, I believe that similar things would not happen again. In this way, the previous worries have been completely resolved.
."
Dong Guojin knelt on the ground, lowered his head, but his brows were furrowed. He knew that the people from the Japanese mission did not name him for good reasons. The people he sent there before were all arranged by Xia Shang, and this time they must have done something wrong.
Otherwise, the Japanese envoy would not suddenly ask for a replacement, let alone ask him to go there by name. I am afraid that the other party will think that he is in the same group as Xia Shang, and I am afraid that they will cause trouble for him if he goes there this time.
But at this time, he had already chosen to obey the court's arrangements, so he couldn't say anything more. He just hated those old guys who were adding fuel to the fire behind him.
Neither the Prime Minister nor the Crown Prince expressed their opinions. This position would not have any impact on them. Instead, they hoped to see the Queen's attitude and perhaps see what the other party was thinking.
After a brief silence, the queen above spoke: "Since the ministers are unanimous and I have no doubts, I will accept the appointment of Dong Guojin, the Minister of Rites, to take over the editorship of the Hanlin Academy and stationed at the mission to serve as a receptionist.
The position of minister."
Next, Dong Guojin frowned and responded bravely: "I accept your order."
After saying that, Dong Guojin stood up, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his expression was not so confident.
Sure.
Above, the Queen continued: "Now that Mr. Dong has taken over the position of the reception minister, how should the editor of the Hanlin Academy who was the reception minister be arranged?"
No one below answered. Everyone could see that the queen valued this young man, but this young man had offended too many people. Who would want to look after him? So everyone chose to remain silent.
But Dong Guojin suddenly came out and bowed and said: "Master Xia did not make any obvious mistakes when he was the reception minister. On the contrary, he worked in many ways to prepare for the prince's wedding. There is no credit but hard work. If he takes over his position because of a lower official,?
Sending him back to the Hanlin Academy to continue serving as an editor will probably chill some officials who are loyal to their duties. I think I should arrange a more appropriate position for Mr. Xia."
"Master Dong, what you said is wrong..." Another old minister came out and interrupted, "Don't forget, this Master Xia is still a criminal. The original intention of letting him serve as editor of the Hanlin Academy was to make him
He repented and wanted to repair the Hanlin Academy that he had burned down. Now that the Hanlin Academy was in dire straits and the work of revising files had just begun, he was promoted at this time. Not only did it not serve as a punishment, but it became a reward. This is a big deal.
inappropriate."
Dong Guojin smiled and stopped talking. There was a hint of teasing on his face. He said to himself that this old guy couldn't understand the situation. This Lord Xiao Xia was simply arranged by the Empress early in the morning. Why don't you mention it at this time?
The opinion is correct, but it is disrupting the Queen's plan. You don't have to say anything now, the Queen will definitely come forward to show this guy.
"Does Lord Situ think that my arrangement for Xia Shang to send a mission to Japan is not considered a punishment?"
The queen's voice seemed to be raised a little higher. People were a little confused when she said this, and they didn't know what it meant.
"The palace's arrangement of him to the Japanese mission can be regarded as a training and punishment for the editors of the Hanlin Academy. Master Situ should also know how the previous reception minister was treated in the Japanese mission? If Master Situ thinks that being a reception minister is a
It’s a good job, then let Sir Situ serve as the reception minister.”
As soon as these words came out, the Empress no longer had any dignity in the court.
The empress's intention was very clear. Letting Xia Shang go to Japan as a mission was a punishment and an atonement for his previous actions.
The key now is the Japanese envoy
The festival is still here, but if you say something like this in front of others, are you saying that only those who make mistakes will serve as reception ministers?
Where should the Japanese mission put its face?
Naturally, the Japanese envoy was unhappy after hearing this. Just as he was about to say something, Prime Minister Fu Yu walked up to him and comforted him: "This envoy doesn't seem to be causing trouble, does he? She is the empress, so it's better not to contradict what you just said.
, how about we just pretend that no one heard it?"
The Japanese envoy was not a fool, and he did not want to cause more trouble on other people's territory. He whispered: "If what we just said spread, we will never give up."
Fu Yu smiled: "Definitely."
On the other side, Mr. Situ, who was speaking, did not dare to speak. He knew that his words might displease the Queen, but he did not expect that the Queen would react so violently. He dared not say anything more, so he could only stand awkwardly in the middle of the court.
, can't advance, can't retreat.
After being silent for about three to five minutes, the Queen above slowly spoke: "Who else has an opinion on this?"
No one spoke, even Li Xiangyang pretended to be mute and smiled silently.
This matter had no impact on Li Xiangyang. He also adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile in the court and never opposed the queen on insignificant matters.
Li Xiangyang didn't even speak, let alone the others.
After a while, the queen spoke again: "Since everyone has no objections, then I wonder where this Hanlin Academy editor should be placed? Mr. Dong, what do you think?"
"The position of head of the national treasury under the Ministry of Household Affairs is suitable."
As soon as these words came out, discussions began in the court.
There is only one word difference between the national treasury and the national treasury, but the area it manages is much smaller. The national treasury collects all the finances of the imperial court, and the national treasury is responsible for allocating funds from the national treasury to various places within the capital. All matters in the capital must use imperial silver.
Where required, the head of the treasury has to sign it.
Although the official position of the chief is not high, the power of the treasury is very great, and it is also a very important position in the court.
The previous night when the Metropolitan Procuratorate was in trouble in the capital, the former head of the national treasury was directly executed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate because he was found to be involved in corruption.
