I studied in modern times

Chapter 422 The discussion of court recommendation
Empress Dowager Xiang looked at Zhao Xu's expression and knew that the child had made up his mind on this matter.

If you think about it carefully, the gossips of a few people in local states and counties are indeed not worth worrying about.

The late emperor's reform caused so much noise and so many people opposed it.

But in the end, how many people, like Sima Guang, refused to become officials?
Thinking like this, Queen Mother Xiang felt relieved.

So, she skipped this topic with a smile and asked Zhao Xu another matter: "By the way, Sixth Brother, last time the Queen Mother told Taimu and Sixth Brother about the temporary absence of the Dutang ruler. According to Liu What I mean, the Queen Mother and the Grandmother have discussed with the governors, and the governors have agreed on the matter of adding two new governors, and they have been arguing about who to choose to join the East and West Houses."

"What do Sixth Brother think?"

Zhao Xu shook his head: "I don't have any opinion."

No matter who is in charge of the current government, it actually has little impact.

Because when Zhang Dun returns victorious, he will undoubtedly be the prime minister!
By that time, Han Jiang had already retreated, Lu Gongzhu should have also partially retreated, and Sima Guang would have died if nothing unexpected happened.

Isn't this the capital of Zhang Dun's world?
At that time, who is in charge of the capital will become important.

Now?

They are just passers-by, A, B, C and D.

Empress Dowager Xiang listened, let out a sigh of relief, and said: "But the court's inability to decide on governance for a long time is not good for the country and the country."

Zhao Xu smiled and remembered the story of the Ming Dynasty.

So he said: "Queen Mother, it is better to summon the prime ministers and the ministers waiting in the capital, and then decide on the ruling through the method of court recommendation."

"Tingtui?"

"Yes!" Zhao Xu replied: "The prime minister recommends the candidates, and then the ministers in Beijing vote for them. The top five with the most votes go to the memorial hall before the queen mother and the mother-in-law, and the queen mother and the mother-in-law choose from them. The two of them can be taught to govern."

"In this way, we can demonstrate to the world our determination of the Song Dynasty and the scholar-bureaucrats to rule the world together, and convince the world."

"It can also avoid clique matters."

Queen Mother Xiang's eyes lit up as she listened, and she murmured to herself: "This is a good idea."

Ting push?

It's really good.

As Liu Ge said, Ting Tui was in power, which could show the world that the Song Dynasty and the scholar-bureaucrats were determined to rule the world together, and win the support and support of the scholar-bureaucrats.

At the same time, because it is not the person with the most votes who is elected, but the two houses choose two people from the top five with the most votes.

This can be avoided if someone forms a clique.

You can even tell the trend in the court through court recommendation - if someone has the support of a majority of people.

Then this person should go somewhere and calm down.

"Brother Six!" Empress Dowager Xiang couldn't sit still as she thought about it, and said to Zhao Xu, "Empress Mother is going to Qingshou Palace to discuss this matter with the Empress Dowager."

"Sixth brother is going with mother and queen? Or?"

Zhao Xu said with a smile: "I should go with my mother. It just so happens that I haven't paid my respects to my mother-in-law today."

So, mother and son went to the Qingshou Palace to greet the Empress Dowager.

Then, Empress Dowager Xiang told the Empress Dowager Zhao Xu's idea.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother's eyes lit up.

But her focus fell on Tingtui's method.

The prime minister nominates and recommends, and the waiting ministers vote?

This was going to be done by her.

The evaluation of Yao and Shun in the history of this female school is almost certain.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager, after a brief discussion with the Empress Dowager Xiang, issued an edict to the capital hall and notified the capital hall officials of the method of selecting the ruling generals according to the method of court push.

……

Han Jiang looked at the edict he had just followed.

"Tingtui?"

An extremely fresh term.

Let’s look at the method. The top five are determined by the Prime Minister’s recommendation and the ministers waiting in Beijing vote, and then they are sent to the two palaces, and the two palaces select two people from them to be appointed as governors?

"Interesting!" Han Jiang muttered.

Then, he looked at the governors who had been summoned and came to the imperial hall to receive the order.

"Do you all know the will of the Cisheng of the Two Palaces?" Han Jiang said with narrowed eyes.

"Report back to Zuo Kui, we all know it." Lu Gongzhu led the eastern and western governments to hand over the ruling collective.

"Good!" Han Jiang waved his hand: "Then go back and think carefully about who you want to recommend?"

He also had to think about it.

After all, he is already the one who wants to retreat.

At the end of this year, he will definitely write a speech.

Things are almost done, and the credit is almost earned.

If you stay any longer, others will scold you.

But if he retreats, he must leave a nail in the capital, at least in the court, just in case.

At the very least, Yushi Zhongcheng was the one he recommended.

Only in this way can we ensure that no one will leave after he retreats.

This is Han Jiang’s lifelong experience.

This is also a lesson he learned from many people.

There are too many people who, after retreating, do not place nails in the court hall, so that the tea will cool down and even the political affairs will be extinguished.

Naturally, he, Han Zihua, would not make such a mistake.

But, which one is better to choose?

Han Jiang felt that she had to think about it carefully.

Because he knows that basically whoever he chooses is equivalent to telling others that this person will represent my mantle in the future.

Therefore, this person must be capable and skillful, and at the same time agree with his ideas and political thoughts. After he retires, he must be able to protect his political achievements and prevent them from being suppressed or even erased by others.

Thinking of this, Han Jiang remembered a name.

Cai Jing!

After thinking about it, he shook his head.

Cai Jing is the emperor's man, so it's not easy for him to rob him.

Moreover, this guy is very shrewd, slippery and restless.

After choosing him, Han Jiang was a little worried that her future reputation would be implicated.

"Then you can only choose from those recommended by Wang Jiefu."

Han Jiang thought in her heart.Last year, when the Service Law Review Office was established, Wang Jiefu wrote to him and recommended some helpers. Several of them were of great help.

Thinking like this, Han Jiang's mind was determined.

In Han Jiang's view, this matter was killing two birds with one stone.

Not only could he repay Wang Jiefu's favor - Wang Jiefu had helped him a lot, but Wang Jiefu's silence in Jiangning was the greatest support and help for his work.

What's more, I even wrote to him specifically to recommend people to him.

At the same time, the person who received his recommendation naturally wanted to repay the favor.

Continuing the tacit understanding between him and Wang Jiefu.

You push me to the stage, and I'll help you deal with the aftermath.

Thinking of this, Han Jiang's eyes slowly lit up.

He clasped his hands behind his back and slowly walked back to his palace.

The other governors also had different expressions.

However, their excitement was beyond words.

Tingtui, this unprecedented system made them excited.

When news came out from the palace that this idea was thought up by the emperor, they became even more excited.

Because this means that this system will be long-term.

Even if the curtains are removed from the two palaces, it will still exist for a long time in the future, and may even become a routine and become another ancestral family law.

Sima Guang was even more excited.

After he learned about this, his whole spirit was lifted a bit.

The old officials on the left and right were also greatly surprised when they saw his appearance.

Because they remembered that in the past few days, the minister they had been serving had always looked downcast and listless.

Now, he was instantly resurrected with full blood.

How strange!

However, these people are all old fools. They only watch and listen to everything, but don't ask anything.

The main theme is a 'honest, honest' and 'hard-working' character.

One term after another in power, the capital flows up and down like running water.

They are still here, still close to power.

……

Zeng Bu straightened his clothes and forced himself to calm down.

"Ting Tui?" He took a deep breath.

These days, he is under great pressure.

Those blind guys in Wazi actually raised the odds of him entering the two houses to the highest level.

It was clear that he was not optimistic about Zeng Zixuan getting that cool umbrella.

This made him extremely embarrassed!
What made him even more embarrassed was that Lu Dafang, a guy he had never thought highly of, had the highest odds.

Even Deng Runfu's odds are in the top three.

This is tantamount to slapping him in the face!

Nowadays, the two palaces have issued an edict to choose the government through the method of court recommendation.

just in case……

Without the Prime Minister recommending him, Zeng Zixuan would be really embarrassed.

Zhang Zihou might be rolling on the floor laughing after finding out about this.

And that bastard Lu Jifu would be in Hedong, watching his jokes and making sarcastic remarks about him.

Thinking of this, Zeng Bu's face turned a little red.

"I will never let this happen!" Zeng Bu clenched his fists: "Never!"

This time last year, he was summoned by the Empress Dowager for consultation, and when he was deeply trusted, he was extremely proud.

There was even a saying, 'The era of Jiayou Elder is over! 's emotion.

But now, in the capital hall, the two prime ministers are both Jiayou elders.

The remaining governors are all veterans of the late emperor.

And he just barely managed to get promoted from Hanlin Bachelor to Minister of Household Affairs, but he was still only four years old, and there was still a distance between him and the cool umbrella.

After finally getting rid of Zhang Zihou, he thought that he could get the umbrella by relying on the trust of the Empress Dowager.

As a result, we are now getting further and further away from the parasol.

It might even be embarrassing.

Thinking like this, Zeng Bu couldn't sit still anymore.

He stood up and paced back and forth in his official room.

He knew that he had to take the initiative to seek the recommendation of a prime minister.

There is almost no need to think about Left Prime Minister Han Jiang.

Because it is impossible for him to recommend himself.

Zeng Bu knew very well that Han Jiang claimed that he was neither the new party nor the old party. '

But in fact, his relationship with Wang Anshi is even closer than that of Wang Anshi's brothers.

Just look at the things he did.

Therefore, even if Han Jiang was concerned about Wang Anshi, it was impossible for Han Jiang to recommend him, a person who stabbed Wang Anshi in the back in the past.

The right minister Lu Gong wrote it, so there is no need to think about it.

Lu Dafang, Fan Chunren, Li Chang...

These people are Lu Gongzhu's favorites. I'm afraid Lu Gongzhu will only have a headache about who to choose?

Li Qingchen, the Privy Councilor, should not think about the rest of the administration.

Li Qingchen and Lu Huiqing have an inexplicable relationship.

Lu Huiqing regarded Zeng Bu as his mortal enemy.

So, there are only three options left.

Tongzhi An Tao, the minister of the Privy Council, Zhang Hong, the minister of Zhongshu, and Sima Guang, the minister of the sect.

Who would recommend him?
this is a problem.
