I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 807 Consistent Needs

Chen Heshu, the servant of the Ministry of War, died suddenly... The news was reported to the cabinet by Chen Heshu's servants.

Not long after the government was released, the new cabinet ministers hadn't left yet, and they were sorting out the results of today's group discussions on the court's various new policies.

"Why is it all this bad?"

Hearing the news suddenly, the cabinet was a little taken aback.Zhang Dun blurted out this sentence.

"It's nothing to worry about! Call his family back and ask the officials to seal it up tomorrow. The gate of the palace is locked today, so don't disturb him!"

Wang Anshi just paused a little, didn't even raise his head, and even Zhang Dun's words didn't affect him at all.

Just like that, he asked the scribe to answer in a daze.

Also, what a big deal!If it hadn't been for the sudden death of a minister of war during the Great Court Assembly, it is estimated that the cabinet would not have needed to know immediately.

Even in the Great Court, there is only one more quota for political participation in the imperial court...~ Zhang Dun thought about it, and he was indeed a little impatient.

The process of the Great Court Meeting was so smooth in the first two days, it was so smooth that I couldn't tolerate any surprises.

It seems that this news really did not cause any reaction among the courtiers.

The Palace of Qinzheng is normal, the officials and princes are no different from before, so what should they do?The prince is not seriously ill as rumored, if you don't look carefully, you can't tell that you have been ill.

It seems that, as the official said, I just feel the cold occasionally...

"Officials, Minister of the Ministry of War Chen Heshu died suddenly..."

Even in normal times, if a court official of the fourth or fifth rank had an accident, he would report it to the court, let alone during the court meeting.Wang Anshi came here to report this matter.

However, Wang Anshi didn't understand why the officials were obviously stunned, but the prince's actions were normal.

"As usual, let the Ministry of Rites handle it according to the circumstances. As for the number of important participation in politics, it has already reached the final stage of the Great Court Conference, so don't worry about it, let it be vacant temporarily, and wait for the Great Court Conference next year to select another... "

Zhao Xi also paused when Wang Anshi told the news, probably his expression was extremely bad at that moment.It was fairly stable and fast, and explained the disposal principles relatively normally.

"Officials, Uncle Chen is an important participant in politics. He is qualified to participate in the joint meeting of the imperial government's yamen. He is also one of the officials of the yamen related to government decision-making. Is the vacancy suitable?"

"There is nothing inappropriate. His vote will be temporarily replaced by the cabinet. Let's wait for the next big court meeting. The cabinet will draw up a candidate as soon as possible, and he will be the Minister of the Ministry of War..."

Zhao Xi calmed down at this moment, and it was rare to explain things to Wang Anshi so peacefully.

This old man is different from Fu Bi, he is too stubborn, he is not as easy to communicate with as Fu Bi, and he does not have Fu Bi's exquisite mind.

In fact, from Zhao Xi's heart, Su Song is the candidate for prime minister.But Su Song's role in the country is more effective in technology than in government.At the same time, Su Song has little desire for power and little interest in government affairs.

Before nominating the cabinet, Zhao Xi had a conversation with Su Song, but he had no choice but to not clarify the prime minister.

As a result, in this way, the imperial court acquiesced in the position of Prime Minister Wang Anshi. After all, Comrade Wang was the cabinet since the establishment of the three-level decision-making system, and his qualifications were impeccable.

What's more, many of the new policies of the state were advocated by Comrade Wang in name.Whether it is to take the blame, or to initiate it, the contribution is indispensable in the end.

"Officials, I think Lu Jiawen can be appointed..."

This... Zhao Xi really doesn't know what to say about Wang Anshi.To put it nicely is resilience, but to put it badly, it is lack of fun.I have said this to this extent, but I am still struggling.

Even the prince stopped writing and looked at Wang Anshi in disbelief.

Lu Jia asked what was going on, not to mention the prince, the whole court probably knew about it.The prince also wants to see how the father handles it... After all, it was proposed by the prime minister.

When the old cabinet was in power, when the cabinet was negotiating relevant positions, even a good old man like Wang Gui, Wang Anshi knew that it would be impossible for Lu Jiawen to be promoted to the cabinet.

At this time, it is a good opportunity.

"Old Wang Ge, I have to tell you a fact first, I have never relegated Lu Jiawen, and I have already done it for your face, Elder Wang Ge."

"If you want to say that I value morality rather than talent, it's not entirely true. However, Lu Jia asked differently, because he is from the Lu family, and I have to do this. If you can understand it, you can understand it, and if you don't understand it, it's still the same."

"I just want to tell you that it is my kindness for Lu Jiawen to take advantage of the split of the Shiyi Temple to take charge of the barter business. I have raised my hand and given him a chance to take charge. This is already in view For the sake of his talent, don’t think about anything else!”

Zhao Xi rarely speaks so bluntly, and Zhao Xi had to be so blunt when facing Wang Anshi.He was really worried, if he was still reserved, would the old man continue to pretend to be a fool, messing around with him and asking Lu Jia.

If Lu Jia asked if he was talented, he was indeed a bit talented.However, compared with Lu Huiqing and Xue Xiang and others, they are still far behind in the way of wealth.Lu Jiawen was accustomed to relying on the power of the court to barter, while Lu Huiqing, Xue Xiang and others knew how to balance the market and the government.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Xi agreed to Lu Jiawen's request to take charge of the government-controlled industries such as salt and iron when Shiyi Temple was split.

As for whether the Lu family still cares about Lu Jiawen's actions, even if they don't, Zhao Xi still has to keep fulfilling his promise...not to mention that Lu Gongbi is seriously ill now...
Wang Anshi saw that there was nothing he could do, so he withdrew.

"Father, the cabinet has unanimously approved Lu Jiawen to be in charge of the salt and iron affairs. In other words, the Lu family should no longer care about Lu Jiawen's behavior back then. Why didn't daddy give Xiang Wang a favor?"

After last night, the prince was a little more frank, he knew what to ask, and dared to ask.That's it, sometimes emotions do need some inexplicable things to facilitate.

"It's not a question of whether the Lu family cares or not. It's a question of whether I can be consistent and how I will fulfill my promise. In fact, at this level, Lu Jia asked him like a baby. Tell the servants who are determined to follow me, I am so clear."

"The so-called words must be practiced, the more this kind of gossip that people talk about, the longer it will be passed down. In the government, my words must be practiced, and no one may remember, but such a thing can make the ministers feel that, I really do what I say.”

"Utility and focus, the same thing, the same way of doing things, the effect produced is very different. What should be exaggerated, what should be low-key, what can't be suppressed by force, and what can't be pushed. Guang, this needs to be figured out..."

It's not that Zhao Xi wants to be aggressive, it's that these things really need to be understood by oneself, and they can't be taught without teaching.
