Chapter 52
Guo Chao handed in the memorial and resigned from the position of Minister of Dali Temple on the grounds of physical discomfort. The emperor failed to retain him, so he let him go.

Seeing that the post of Minister of Dali Temple was vacant, everyone in the court became active again, and they haven't decided who to recommend for it!
This morning, the court heard Xia Zhi's performance to the emperor about recommending Zhao Hengwen, the new top scholar, as the new Minister of Dali Temple. Everyone in the court was blown away when they heard it!

Since the founding of this dynasty, there has been no precedent for anyone becoming a third-rank official as soon as he enters an official position, and there is no such thing as a head of any ministry as soon as he comes!

Even if the current number one scholar is appointed by Prince Duan, as his student, he can't be so partial. At most, he can be given a fifth-rank secretary Cheng, and he can go to court to participate in politics, which is the emperor's grace. Start with the four doctors of the seventh rank, or directly send them to various state capitals as officials!

Besides, Zhao Hengwen, the champion of the new department, and the others have also seen it. The typical one is a nerd. If he is an official in the Ministry of Rites, it is acceptable to manage rites, music and sacrifices. Let him go to Dali Temple for trial, and everyone will look down on him in their hearts!

Not long!Someone stood up and bowed upwards, and objected: "Report to the emperor! I think it's inappropriate. Although Zhao Hengwen, the new top scholar, is talented, he is young and has no experience in investigating cases! Let him be the minister of Dali Temple. If his strength is not waiting, please the emperor to investigate clearly!" After saying that, he gave a deep obeisance!
Then several people stood up for reconsideration and opposed Zhao Hengwen's appointment as Minister of Dali Temple.

At this time, Duke Hu also stood up, bowed upwards, and said: "I also object to letting Zhao Hengwen be the Minister of Dali Temple!" After speaking, he glanced at Xia Zhi lightly.

Since Xia Zhi proposed this personnel appointment, he has been standing there silently, letting these people make noise there, and turning a blind eye to Duke Protector's cold eyes.

Recently, as long as it comes from his decree, the Duke Protector will speak out against it, and he is used to it!And the sudden change in the attitude of the Duke Protector's Mansion towards him is also a place worthy of suspicion!He has never shown any sign of getting rid of the Duke Protector's Mansion. The Duke Protector's change is too fast, and if things go wrong, there must be demons!

Sitting on the throne, the emperor looked at the voices of opposition from the people below, and felt angry in his heart. Even he felt that Xia Zhi's suggestion was quite inappropriate, but seeing so many people standing up to oppose him, he could only feel the anger in his heart Going up and down, even if my son did something wrong, it's not up to these people to point fingers here!

Suppressing his anger, he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please go back! But there are still people playing!"

Seeing that the quarrel was almost over, Xia Zhi glanced at the ministers before he stood up leisurely and said, "Thanks to the reminders from all the ministers, I have thought about it and felt that something was wrong! Now recommend the Zuo Shao of Dali Temple." Qing Shifu is the minister of Dali Temple, and Zhao Hengwen is the young minister of Dali Temple!"

As soon as he said this, after everyone heard it, they detoured in their hearts and understood that he was playing with everyone!

If he had made this suggestion from the very beginning, he would definitely have been opposed by everyone.But he first put forward a higher and unreasonable proposal, and everyone naturally opposed it, and then he listened to everyone's opinions, and made a lower and very reasonable proposal, which everyone had just opposed , now it is not easy to stand up and oppose it!

So they all kept silent, and Duke Hu's eyes widened with anger, his complexion turned black, and his heart was burning with anger, unexpectedly he was tricked again!
After hearing Xia Zhi's new plan, the emperor in the Golden Palace glanced around at the ministers of His Highness, and said, "Dear dears! Do you have any objections to this plan!" Now if there are still people who stand up against it, don't blame them I disregard the friendship between monarch and minister!
At this time, Fan Xuan, who had been quiet in the court hall, stood up, bowed slightly upwards, and said: "Qi Zou the emperor! I think this plan of King Duan is very good! I reconsider!"

Afterwards, Yushi Zhongcheng Wenhan, Hubu Shangshu Lu Qian, Libu Shangshu Wei Yan and others all stood up for reconsideration!Then when everyone saw that the matter had come to this point and it was irreversible, it was better to be a favor and make a good impression on King Duan, and they also stood up to reconsider!

Seeing that the matter was settled, the emperor in the Golden Palace issued an order: "Draft an order! Seal Shifu as Minister of Dali Temple, and Zhao Hengwen as Young Minister of Dali Temple!"

His Highness and everyone said: "The minister waits to obey the order!"

At this time, Duke Hu stood up again and said: "Qi Zou the emperor! King An is in good health now, and I would like to ask the emperor to allow King An to participate in politics!"

The courtiers were all shocked when they heard this, they didn't expect him to mention this matter!Everyone looked at Lord Protector, the same as looking at the expression of a lunatic, he was openly making an enemy of King Duan!
King Duan has one thing that no one can compare to, that is, he won the emperor's heart. Some time ago, it was rumored that King Duan would become a generation of Mingjun, and he would let others sleep peacefully on the couch. If someone else would definitely arouse the emperor's suspicion, but Chengzong After hearing this, he laughed loudly, and said comfortingly: "It's still common people who are transparent and know that my son is extraordinary!"

Although it is said that people's hearts are biased, His Majesty's heart is too biased today. He is also a son, but he cultivated people for King Duan and paved the way for him when he was young.Except for sending some precious medicinal materials to King An, he ignored the rest!
If the matter of allowing King An to participate in politics had been put a few years ago, King Duan said, maybe there is still a chance, but now that he is really allowed to participate in government affairs, the current situation will not change!

Besides, his granddaughter is now the concubine of Prince Duan's mansion, can he bother about the throne?As long as you just sit and wait, you will be a stable national leader!As for Shang's daughter, no one took her too seriously!

Now he is looking far away for what!
Speaking of this, Duke Huguo felt a hatred in his heart. When he was still vacillating three years ago, the emperor ordered his granddaughter to enter Prince Duan's mansion, and gave himself a respect for Duke Huguo's mansion no matter who was in power. The illusion of benefits comforted me, thinking about my grandson's body, I stopped doing anything!

I also blame myself for following the advice of Xia's father and son. After three years, everything is a foregone conclusion. It will be difficult for me to turn the tables, but it is not impossible to win if I try my best!Thinking of this, there was a glint of viciousness in his eyes!
At this time, several aristocratic families who share the same spirit as the Duke Protector's Mansion also stood up to reconsider!
The emperor in the palace looked at the group of people below with an unkind expression. The old man, Duke Protector, seemed to think that he didn't die fast enough!And those people who formed a faction with him, I will settle with you one by one!

Just as he was about to speak back, Xia Zhi also stood up and said: "Since the emperor is in good health! It is time to go to the court to share the worries of the father and the emperor, and the ministers will reconsider!"

Seeing that he also said the same thing, the emperor changed his words: "Since that's the case! This matter will be discussed later! If there is nothing to do, then step down!" Although he didn't agree immediately, he didn't say anything dead!

In today's morning court, everyone's hearts seemed to be walking on a cliff, and now they don't have the heart to mention those trivial matters. They just want to go back quickly and think about the trend of the court!There is nothing to report!
Then they heard Fuxi say to leave the court, after the crowd respectfully sent the emperor away, three or two went down together, and Xia Zhi went to the Xingqing Palace after leaving the court!
