Chapter 1583 Political Affairs Hall Seven

After Cai Yong responded, there were basically no twists and turns in this matter.

But next, it is time to discuss the matter of the Ministry of Rites.

"Since Cai Xiang takes over the position of head of the Political Affairs Hall, the Minister of Rites will hand over the book. Who do you think is suitable?" Mu Jing asked with a smile.

The crowd was silent.

It's not that they don't have candidates, but they are guessing Mu Jing's thoughts.

When Hu Zhao accidentally lost Jingzhou and lost Liu Jin's arm, his right to speak in Zhaoming Pavilion has been weakened by more than half invisibly.

Now even if Qin Song and Bao Su want to second him, they have to think about it.

People in the officialdom are often involuntary.

Everyone who can sit here is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty Hall. If they want to stand, they themselves are a party, and there are countless officials attached to them.

Who to support, for them, they only need to consider where the general trend is, and they don't need to think too much about not offending others.

"Sir, recommend someone!" Hu Zhao, who was the first to break the silence, attracted a lot of attention as soon as he opened his mouth.

"It's a good thing that Prime Minister Hu has a candidate!"

Although Mu Jing's expression didn't change color in the slightest, there was a touch of fear in his pupils.

Never dared to underestimate Hu Zhao.

Don't look at Liu Jin barking fiercely, but dogs that never bark are the ones that bite people fiercely.

Hu Zhao is the representative of ministerial power, No. 1 among all officials of the Ming Dynasty. Standing above the court, he already has enough prestige to fight against Mu Jing's monarchy.

"His Majesty!"

Hu Zhao showed an indifferent smile on his face, and said: "I think Sima Hui is the most suitable to take over this position!"

"Sima Hui?"

Some people questioned.

It was Qin Song who spoke, his eyes were not flashing with any ulterior motives, but more of an influence on the overall situation: "Although Sima Gong is a model for scholars in the world, he has never been an official. Now Going out of the mountain is just for the imperial examination. The imperial examination is to select talents and be an official with the imperial court. Whether you can take on this task is another matter, and it is not the same!"

"This statement makes sense!"

Bao Su thought for a while, nodded and said.

"I believe that Sima Gong has read poetry and books, is rich in knowledge, and has attainments in history, politics, military affairs, and strategy. Although he has sacrificed wine for Lumen Mountain, taught and educated people, he has a heart for the world. If you are able to run around in all directions in the stability of the land, you are a person with great ambitions. If you can be the minister of the Ministry of Rites and implement the ritual system of the Ming Dynasty, this is a gift from God to the Ming Dynasty!"

Kuai Liang's position has been very clear. First, Mu Jing's thoughts are here. Second, although Sima Hui was not born in Jingxiang, but based in Jingxiang, he has already been regarded as a person of Jingxiang.

The feeling of the township party is still a relatively important link in today's officialdom. He is a surrender, a minion of Mu Jing, and he has been exiled from the ranks of scholars. At this time, he needs a fellow villager to support him.

Therefore, promoting Sima Hui to become an official was not only because of Mujing's order, but also because of his own will, and he tried his best to do this.

"good!"

Xi Zhicai smiled slightly, and said: "Sima Gong is a capable person, and it is reasonable to be in the court's etiquette department!"

"Your servant!" Huang Zhong replied calmly.

Mu Jing's eyes fell on Cai Yong.

He was one of the nine seats in Zhaoming Pavilion to participate in politics, and the remaining eight seats. Liu Jin was imprisoned, and there were only seven people, Hu Zhao, Qin Song, Bao Su, Xi Zhicai, Huang Zhong, Kuai Liang, Cai Yong.

Now only two have expressed dissent.

Therefore, Cai Yong has the power to determine the country with one word.

"I agree!" Cai Yong took a deep breath, and replied calmly: "Sima Gong is familiar with the "Rituals", and people in the world have figured out the left and right. If they can implement the Great Ming Ritual System, it will be considered appropriate!"

Mu Jing grinned: "Since this is the case, there is no need to go to the court to push!"

The court push also needs conditions.

Every time they go to the court to push, the officials of Ming Dynasty don't have to do anything, they can just sit here and vote every day, unless Zhaoming Pavilion can't decide on the position candidate, they will go to the court to push.

"Immediately draw up an edict to bring Sima Hui to the Daming Palace for an audience!"

Mujing ordered.

"Yes!"

Huo Yu, the meeting recorder next to him, quickly went to pass the order.

"Today's meeting, let's go here!" Mu Jing looked at everyone, and said in a low voice: "Nowadays, there are many wars outside, which will definitely give us some gaps, so we, Daming, must seize this rare opportunity to improve the lives of the people. If our lives are better, this will also make our economy better, and with money, silk, food and fodder, we can unify the world, and in order to unify the world, please encourage each other!"

This is his oath, and his new deal is about to start.

Everyone naturally understood. After all, everyone here is not a fool. Today's meeting seems to be dealing with Liu Jin and the power of the Political Affairs Hall and the Ministry of Rites.

But in fact, it was just a confrontation between Mu Jing and Hu Zhao. Hu Zhaoqi lost the control of the Zhengshitang, and the Zhengshitang fell to Cai Yong. Hu Zhao didn't have the power to command.

However, the scene still has to be said.

"mutual encouragement!"

All the ministers stood up, with a touch of excitement and enthusiasm on their faces. It didn't matter who Mu Jing or Hu Zhao had the upper hand, it was all Da Ming's layout for the unification of the world, and he just followed whose layout.

..............................

Coming out of Zhaoming Pavilion, Mu Jing went upstairs, Hu Zhao and Cai Yong looked at each other, and walked on the long corridor back to their respective office rooms.

"Hu Xiang almost took him into the army!"

Cai Yong lowered his voice.

"Don't be so loud!" Hu Zhao smiled: "He is such a stingy person, he obviously enjoyed the victory today, if he was spoiled by me, he might become angry from embarrassment, really put on little shoes for us!"

"It's not impossible!"

Cai Yong also nodded, Mu Jing's character is somewhat vile, the principle is correct, but there are many small problems, especially stingy, public revenge is also a frequent thing.

"To be honest, when I recommended Sima Hui, I was still on the sidelines, but the facts tell us that he has already made plans, and I'm afraid it's not just Sima Hui!" Hu Zhao said in a low voice: "The three major sacrifices in Lumen Mountain, They are all talented people who have learned from others, and may have little experience in politics, but as long as they adapt for a period of time, they will reach the height of you and me sooner or later. If they become the pioneers of the New Deal..."

Don't say anything later, Cai Yong also knows what it means.

"It's good for me to be in the position. Next, should he take me out?" Cai Yong squinted his eyes and said, "Qin Song and Bao Su may not obey me. If I can't command the Ministry of Household and Officials, the peasants Ministry, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Medicine, I don’t even need to think about it, as for the Ministry of Rites, as soon as I let go, Shi Xie immediately rebelled, and Sima Hui has enough prestige to replace me, I can’t even control the Ministry of Rites!”

Thinking about it this way, he felt that this wave of superiors seemed to have stepped up to a higher level, took charge of the Zhengshitang, and became the commander-in-chief of Daming Minsheng, but in fact the power was not great, and it seemed that they were losing money. up.

At least he lost the Ministry of Rites, he still felt a little pity.

"will not!"

Hu Zhao understood Mu Jing better, and said: "Our Majesty, we do things generously. We really want to empty someone out. There is no need to be so troublesome. He must have his own ideas when he pushes you up, maybe..."

Hu Zhao narrowed his eyes, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "He also knows that the New Deal is too fierce, so he needs to find some buffer areas. You may be one of his plans!"

"It's not impossible!"

Cai Yong's eyes lit up: "Our Majesty is becoming more and more unfathomable!"

"Next, I can't continue to take the lead, otherwise our Majesty will probably suppress me crazily. If it really causes civil strife, the gain will not be worth the loss. I will hide from him first. As for the affairs of the Zhengshitang, it depends on you. I can't control it anymore, if I talk, it will backfire, if I were you, I would go and visit Liu Jin in person!"

Hu Zhao reminded.

Mu Jing pushed Cai Yong up to fight against him, but he didn't take Cai Yong seriously. Cai Yong's talents and abilities are very good, and he has a lot of experience in the officialdom. Veteran, it's not that simple, but there is one thing, that is, his character has flaws.

It's not that he has a bad personality, but that his personality is too good. In the political arena, his personality can easily become a gap for others to attack.

In the officialdom, calculating a person is not only based on how he does things, but also how he behaves.

This time, Mu Jing used Liu Zi's affairs to attack Liu Jin, which made Hu Zhao more cautious. It also made him understand that political opponents can only be suppressed, and if they talk about feelings, they will definitely lose.

If he wants to deal with Cai Yong, it is not difficult.

But at this time, he needs Cai Yong even more. After all, Mu Jing separated him from the political affairs hall to block his power and block the New Deal. If he opposes Mu Jing at this time, he would be foolish.

Mujing is really annoying, who knows what else this vicious majesty will do.

As soon as Liu Jin's incident came out.

The New Deal is already the bottom line that His Majesty cannot touch. This is something that many officials have reached a consensus on, so the next New Deal will be promoted faster.

Mu Jing is also considered to be well-intentioned.

....................................

Qin Song and Bao Su walked below, and the Ministry of Household and Officials were all in the government office below. Although they were ministers participating in politics, they devoted more energy to running the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials.

The Ministry of Households is in charge of the world's money, and the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the officials of the Ming Dynasty. These are the main departments and the foundation of the Ming court.

"What do you think about this?" Qin Song's voice was very low.

"You ask me, how do I know!"

Bao Su smiled wryly: "I am the latest to join the cabinet, and I am the one who speaks the least authoritatively. To be honest, I don't even know if Your Majesty has taken me seriously!"

"This statement is too much!" Qin Song shook his head: "If your majesty didn't value you, you know that you have no possibility of joining the cabinet. Daming does not support the idlers. Talented people go up, and those without talent go down. This is the principle. His Majesty will not break the principle!"

Bao Su did not deny this point, since the establishment of the Ming Hou Mansion, to the current Ming court, Mu Jing employs people and likes to take the lead, but he has never said it unfairly.

A person who sits on a vegetarian diet cannot gain a foothold in the court.

"Liu Xiang holds one third of the political affairs hall, you and I can hold one third, and the remaining third is under His Majesty's control. Cai Xiang is now in charge of the political affairs hall, but if he wants to take power, I can’t get away from you and me!” Qin Song sighed, and said: “Actually, kicking Liu Xiang out at this time can greatly affect the overall situation, but His Majesty has made up his mind, and we have nothing to do. Perhaps in His Majesty’s eyes, the New Deal is more important. The Zhengshitang is indeed an unavoidable government office for the New Deal, our choice has become very important!"

"Your Majesty established the Political Affairs Hall at the beginning, just like a small court in the court!" Bao Su smiled slightly, and said, "Now our small court is like changing the day and changing the day. Turmoil is inevitable, but you and I are both Your Majesty's trusted minister, whether you want it or not, the overall situation is the most important thing, you have to stabilize the situation!"

"That's a great word!"

Qin Song nodded quickly, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, first stabilize the political affairs hall. As for whether Prime Minister Cai can successfully manage the political affairs hall, let's see his performance. Although he is famous all over the world, if he compares knowledge, I should treat him as a student. Respect, but the current affairs of the Zhengshitang cannot be discussed in the same way, if he has the ability, I should obey him!"

In fact, he somewhat regrets the affairs of the Zhengshitang. If Liu Jin goes down, he is the most hopeful, but he is upright and will not do things that go against his conscience.

Nor will it be unscrupulous for a position.

He also obeys those who are capable.

However, if a great Confucian who is incapable and only knows how to play with words is on the throne, he will not be reconciled.

Although Confucianism today has a foundation, it has not reached the point where it can shock the world with its knowledge in the later Song and Ming Dynasties.

"I thought so too!"

Bao Su smiled slightly, and said: "If Prime Minister Cai has the ability to be in charge of the political affairs hall, I won't have a second complaint. I hope the horse will follow suit, but if he doesn't have the ability, don't blame me for impeachment!"

..............................

The news of the political affairs hall's change of day spread quickly, even to some places, and some local governors were a little worried.

After all, they are all directly under the jurisdiction of the Zhengshitang.

Change the day above.

Is it safe down here?

However, Cai Yong has a good prestige after all, and the news of his ascension quickly calmed down these turbulent people.

"Cai Yong is in charge?"

Liu Jin, who was confined at home, heard the news, and there was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.

A little unexpected.

But it is still being cleaned up.

There are really not many people who can take his place. Hu Zhao will not automatically come to the door and surrender his status, so only Cai Yong can sit on it.

"Your Majesty has worked so hard!"

Liu Jin is not a fool, he has already figured everything out quickly, his heart sank slightly, and he was a little worried for Hu Zhao: "Since Hu Xiang has one more opponent, His Majesty will be at ease. In this way, His Majesty can devote himself wholeheartedly to the New Deal Among them, great changes are imminent!"

Hu Zhao is the only one who can block Mu Jing in the court, now because of himself, Hu Zhao's hands and feet are bound, and Mu Jing puts him aside.

Then the New Deal, there is no longer a roadblock, and it will inevitably explode.
