Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 246 The result of court push, two new servants
Guan Peng almost turned his back, glared at him and said: "It's easy to talk about, but you can't make any changes this time!"

"That's nature, that's nature..."

Master Sun also knew enough was enough, he kept smiling and nodded.

Not only them, other ministers are also busy making the final deal.

The canvassing activity was basically completed a few days ago, and the current communication is just a matter of whether everyone has dates or not. If they can get people, it will be a surprise, and it doesn’t matter if they don’t.

"Master Gao, it's not that I'm evading it, but I've already agreed to it~"

Gao Xun frowned slightly, and looked at the person in front of him: "Why don't you think about it again? It's just icing on the cake that you gave this vote to... the Prime Minister. .”

"But if your lord votes for our people, it will be a timely gift. No matter whether you can be elected or not, this official and Mr. Cai will remember this favor."

"Mr. Gao is too serious. If I can help you all, I will not hesitate to define it."

No one in the court is a fool, the official laughed and said helplessly: "It's a pity that I also owe that lord a favor, so I can't help you this time."

He still hasn't admitted it until now, the other side is the Prime Minister.

Gao Xun nodded lightly, didn't say anything, but turned around and went elsewhere.

There are a total of 24 officials who came to participate in the court promotion today. If you add Heshen and Yan Song who are not in the capital, the chief and deputy examiners and the chief and deputy Zhi Gongju who are in the Gongyuan, there are thirty civil officials in the capital with more than three ranks. indivual.

It is these people present who control the rise and fall of the entire Daqian.

In addition, today's Tingtui also has generals present.

Military generals did not say so in the selection of officials. They were either promoted by military exploits or hereditary, and the civil servants had been rejecting military officers. It stands to reason that they were unwilling to allow these "big bosses" to participate in such internal activities.

But there is no way, the situation is stronger than the people, even the military officers have to admit the powerful strength of the military officers.

Strength brings influence, so three military chiefs, Li Yuan, Yang Jian and Zhao Kuangyin, still came to this kind of activity.

It's just that they and the civil servants couldn't pee in the same pot, and the three of them sat on the other side without saying a word. As for who they were going to vote for...no one knew.

The distance from Maoshi is getting closer and closer, and the seats here are getting more and more full, until finally Qin Hui and Cai Jing arrive.

Everyone is ready.

Wang Quanwang, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, stood up and looked around at the courtiers in the court room.

"Since all the adults are here, let's start."

The Lang Zhong, who was in charge of statistics, stood up and took a large piece of red paper and pasted it on the wooden board in front of him.

Then it was divided into three areas with an ink pen, and the main push, accompanying push, and accompanying push were written on the top.

"My lords, there are two vacancies today, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites and the right servant of the household department. The right servant of the Ministry of Rites will be elected first. The candidates are Mr. Gao Xun, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and Mr. Chen Guang, Minister of the Taipusi..."

From the third rank, from the third rank to the fourth rank, and finally a fifth rank, Cai Bian, a doctor of the Ministry of punishment, these are all the candidates for the Minister of Rites this time.

Although the people who participated in the Ting Tui knew the candidate, the Wenxuan Secretary finished reading it, and then said: "The Ting Tui is starting, please come forward in order, my lords."

After completing the procedures, the doctor sat back to the side, and then one by one officials stepped forward in order.

This order is not that the ones with the higher ranks go first, but the ones with the lower ranks go first.

The first person to step forward was Jingzhaoyi Wang Jin of the third rank. He came to the front, picked up a pen and wrote Cai Bian's name under the main tweeter, and then wrote down the names of Gao Xun and Wu Manjiang under the two companion tweeters. , then turned and left.

After him, one after another, dressed in scarlet robes and with extraordinary bearing, stepped forward to vote silently. The whole process was silent, concise, but extraordinarily powerful.

No one would chat on this occasion, and everyone looked at the red paper in front of them quietly.

Wu Manjiang, Cai Bian, Cai Bian, Chen Guang...

Many people were very surprised, because the name of Cai Bian, the fifth-rank official, appeared the most frequently on the main tweet.

After him were two candidates from the Qin Party, Gao Xun from the Cai Party, and one from the He Party. As for Yan Party...they didn't work hard at this position at all.

Except for these few people, most of them are officials who are not affiliated with the party.

Many people here have exhausted all their efforts to exclude many competitors and made it to this list, but they can only serve as a foil for others when they come to this court promotion occasion.

Without connections, connections, and party support, these people have lower ceilings than others, and they don't reach the heights of connected people.

This is also a well-known secret in the hearts of high-level ministers, and everyone has long been familiar with it.

Officials came forward one by one, and the third-rank officials finished writing, then the second-rank officials, and then the last few big shots.

The reason why they are written at the end is to prevent other officials from following their elections after these people have voted, thus causing unfair and unjust consequences.

Although those who want to influence must have been affected several days ago, but there are still some face-saving projects that should be done.

At the same time, this step also has an ulterior purpose, which is to weaken the authority of these prime ministers.

more than 20 officials have already cast their votes, so the overall situation is basically settled now, and the votes of the remaining few people are not concentrated on one person, so their votes have almost no effect on the existing results!
One vote of ordinary third-rank officials counts as one vote, and the votes of these ministers count as one vote. They have nothing special about them, and they are powerless to make a comeback in the face of this situation.

Perhaps this is another deep meaning of the Tingtui ceremony.

First, the three military chiefs, Li Yuan, also wrote Cai Bian's name at the bottom of the main tweet.

The officials who saw this scene didn't think too much about it. Everyone knew that Tang Guogong was responsible for the leaking questions in the previous test, and two of the ministers were pulled down, which led to the current court push.

It stands to reason that Tang Guogong should have a bad relationship with the Cai party, but now he has voted for the candidate of the Cai party. Is this showing his favor to the Cai party and repairing the relationship?
This kind of thing is very normal in the court, and the ministers just thought about it once in their hearts and stopped thinking about it.

Only Qin Hui and Yang Jian looked at Li Yuan slightly fluctuating.

Li Yuan finished writing his choice, followed by Zhao Kuangyin and Yang Jian. The former voted for a civil servant with no party affiliation, and the two companions voted for the Qin Party and the Peace Party.

Yang Jian is exactly the same as his choice.

When it comes to the choice, the situation has been completely settled. Although there are still two big figures who haven't cast their votes, they are already insignificant.

Qin Hui glanced back at Cai Jing, stood up first, and wrote down the person he recommended on the main tweet without any hesitation.

Cai Jing's face was calm, and he didn't make any eye contact with Qin Hui, but walked forward slowly, and wrote Gao Xun's name on the position of the main tweet.

Cai Bian is his younger brother, and it is something only a person with integrity in mind can do if he does not shy away from relatives.

And Cai Jing obviously didn't get along with that kind of person, so he couldn't write Cai Bian's name in public.

Since Cai Jing sat back in his seat, the selection of the right servant of the Ministry of Rites has been completed.

The result was clearly laid out on the piece of vermilion paper in front of him, and it was clear at a glance.

The Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Officials put down the pen in his hand and stood up holding the documents: "My lords, the selection of the right servant of the Ministry of Rites has been completed. The main candidate is Mr. Cai Bian, and the companions are Mr. Wu Manjiang and Mr. Chen Guang."

The ministers had different reactions to this result, but they were all extremely calm.

Although the main push and accompanying push have been released, it does not mean that this is the final result.

And the emperor didn't pass the test!
Who knows what kind of moth he will make again?
After Wenxuan Secretary Lang Zhong announced the results, he changed another wooden board, pasted red paper on it and wrote the main push and accompanying push.

"My lords, the next step is to elect the right servant of the household department. The candidates include Lord Su Ling'a, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, and Lord Zhao Wenhua, the young minister of the Taichang Temple..."

After reading the list of candidates, Wenxuan Secretary sat down again, and then one after another, the adults went up to vote.

If the last game was a confrontation between the Qin Party and the Cai Party, then this one is a game between the strict party and the peaceful party.

This is also determined by the personality preferences and scope of power of the four prime ministers.

One of Qin Hui and Cai Jing likes to collect power, the other likes to manage contacts. The position of the Ministry of Rites can provide them with great help, so both of them put their main strength into it.

But He Shen and Yan Song have a common preference, that is, they both like money, so they have a special liking for the position of the servant of the household department.

He Shen wants to open a gap in the household department, while Yan Song wants to keep his own household department.

Perhaps in his opinion, letting a character like He Shen reach into the household department is equivalent to letting a mouse into a rice bowl, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Therefore, both sides have launched a life-and-death struggle for the position of the servant of the household department...

In contrast, the influence of the Qin Party on this is minimal.

Cai Dang, on the other hand, has the ambition to regain the positions of the two ministers, and has invested a lot here.

But compared with the Party and the Strict Party, which are competing with all their strength, they are still a little bit less interesting.

Su Ling'a, Zhao Wenhua, Su Ling'a...

One by one's name was written up, and the others were just flashes in the pan, but these two were inseparable. You voted for me, and they were extremely anxious.

With more than half of the votes cast, many ministers also saw the anxious situation, so they secretly changed their strategy, abandoned their original goal, and voted for Su Ling'a.

The reason is also very simple, Su Ling'a is the third-rank minister of the Ministry of Industry, if he is elected as the right minister of the household department, wouldn't it be another position of minister?Can everyone happily fight for the servant again?

Even some officials of the Qin Party and the Cai Party rushed to the ground.

Officials of the strict party are obviously aware of this, but there is nothing they can do to change anything.

Originally, the two sides were evenly matched, but now that there are other officials helping Su Ling'a, how could they be rivals?
The results of this push came out very quickly. Unsurprisingly, Su Ling'a got the main push, while Zhao Wenhua didn't even get a follow-up push because of competition for the main push.

Wenxuan Secretary of the Ministry of Officials once again announced the result of the court push, and then said: "The result of the push has been sent to His Majesty, and please don't leave, and continue to wait here."

One reason for doing this is to wait for a result, and the other is that if Su Ling'a is really selected to become the Minister of the Ministry of Households, then the vacant position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry will also be selected by the way.

This is also the rule of the imperial court, to settle everything at once.

Hubenwei took the results of this meeting and headed north all the way to the outside of Ziwei Hall to send the news in.

Li Gan was naturally in the palace, and he had been paying attention to the result of this court push early on.

"The servant of the Ministry of Rites... is pushing Cai Bian, and the servant of the household department... is pushing Su Ling."

Li Gan nodded slightly after reading it.

"Your Majesty, there is also a companion push, can I also use the companion push?"

Wu Meiniang leaned her head over and looked at the document curiously. She really didn't believe that Cai Bian could oppose his brother.

"It's not that simple."

Li Qian shook his head with a smile: "If you use escort push, these civil servants will not agree."

Accompanied by pushing and pushing, in fact, it is going through the motions of accompanying.

How can there be any accompanying push?This is just something the civil officials came up with to take care of the face of other candidates, and it was also a product of taking care of the emperor's face.

Look, His Majesty the Emperor, the ministers did not overstep or act arbitrarily. The minister gave you a choice, choose one of three!
But in fact, the emperor either used forward push, or didn't use it at all, and it was rarely used to accompany officials.

It's not that no emperor has used the accompanying pusher selected by the court before, but this situation has been unanimously rejected by the civil officials.

The officials who participated in the court promotion jointly defended the results of the positive recommendation, and wrote letters against the emperor's decision, crying and feeling extremely wronged. They all said that since your majesty wants the officials to be promoted by the court, but you don't need the officials elected by the ministers, this is wrong. Trust our thirty or so officials...

The emperor at that time was also very puzzled. Could it be that the accompanying pusher was not selected by you?

But the dual nature of the civil servants is not a cover. Although they admit that the accompanying push is also selected by them, but the positive push is the most suitable candidate for them. Your Majesty, why don’t you choose the most suitable person instead of asking for it? Choose a companion?

The emperor at that time was also angry, you can push it out, but I can't choose?
What kind of bullshit is this?
Under his insistence, the accompanying official finally took office, but the result was not very good as expected.

This official, who had a good official reputation before, was collectively excluded by his superiors, colleagues, and subordinates during his tenure. Such a person would not stay in the officialdom for long, and soon left in a bleak manner, resigned and left with a seal.

Not for anything else, just because he is an official elected by him.

Since then, few people have challenged this authority. Most of the accompanying officials selected by the emperor later voluntarily resigned, and no matter what the emperor said, they refused to take office.

Therefore, the later emperors did not choose to accompany them.
