In the Chui Gong Hall, the officials who followed Zhao Yuanyan and Wang Qinruo blindly booed their necks as if they were a rat who had met a cat under the scolding of Li Di and Wang Zeng.
There are some things that Kou can't say, but Li Di and Wang Zeng don't need to take care of them.
Li Di stared at Zhao Yuanyan. Although he didn't swear, all kinds of cynicism came out of him in an endless stream.
The damaged Zhao Yuanyan kept frowning.
Wang Zeng stared at the ministers of civil and military affairs and cursed.
After the two had finished cursing, they seemed to feel uncomfortable, and they were fined a sum of salary one after another before giving up.
Although Li Di and Wang Zeng did not persuade them to speak, they did not dare to speak up.
The hundreds of officials seemed to pass air behind their backs, standing motionless in the middle of the hanging arch hall one by one.
Seeing this, Li Di and Wang Zeng frowned.
Li Di said angrily: "What are you doing? Are you pushing the palace?"
The officials were silent and no one answered, but their attitude explained everything.
Li Di and Wang Zeng looked at Kou Zhun together.
Kou Zhun's face was gloomy and terrible, but he didn't say a word.
Instead, he looked at Kou Ji who hadn't said a word from beginning to end.
Kou Ji's eyes flicked from Zhao Yuanyan, Wang Qinruo, Li Zi and others one by one.
He saw something different.
"Should you call you Yuanyan Party? Or should you call you usurpers?"
Kou Ji sneered inwardly.
If he hadn't expected it to be bad, these people would have voted for Zhao Yuanyan.
They joined together to play for the purpose of promoting themselves, Kou Ji could more or less guess.
Rather than saying that they are asking to promote themselves, it is better to say that they are using this to test Kou Zhun.
Test how far Kou Zhun can retreat.
As long as Kou Zhun can retreat to the bottom line, they can let go of their hands and feet in the court.
The mastermind controlling all this should be Wang Qinruo.
He has been in the mansion to'cure' for half a year, and he has enough time to plan all this.
"Zhao Yuanyan shouldn't be able to help it... But how can I make you happy?"
Kou Ji laughed in his heart.
After feeling Kou Zhun’s gaze on him, Kou Ji took a step forward and said loudly: "Enlightenment of officials and Taishi, since hundreds of officials are so kind and willing to recommend a minister as a book, then the minister will Ashamed of it.
If the official or the emperor feels that the official position of the minister is humble and the seniority is too low, and he is promoted to a good book, which is not in accordance with the rules of the court, the minister can use the fourth rank of official status to manage hooks or promote a business. "
Hearing this, Kou Zhun was stunned, staring at Kou Ji thoughtfully.
He roughly understood the meaning of Kou Ji's words.
The official position does not change, the power is increased.
Li Di and Wang Zeng also understood the meaning of Kou Ji's words.
Kou Ji's proposal is a good way to break the deadlock in the arched hall.
Wang Zeng said immediately: "Your proposal is good."
Wang Zeng looked at Kou Zhun and Li Di, and said, "Since the Manchu courtesy of civil and military forces are difficult to overcome, then follow the method Kou Ji said?"
Li Di looked around the Manchu civil and military, nodded coldly and said: "Let's do it then."
Kou Zhun still did not speak.
Li Di and Wang Zeng both glanced at him.
Seeing that he didn't mean to speak, Li Di coughed dryly and stared at Kou Ji: "At the moment, the Ministry of Justice is in charge of the Wang Xiang, and the Ministry of Household is in charge of the old man. You can choose one of them and manage the other."
Kou Ji straightened up, put away the court, and smiled calmly: "The Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of Households are not suitable for being an official."
Li Di was taken aback.
Wang Zeng frowned and said, "Are you going to the Ministry of Engineering?"
Li Di didn't look good when he heard Wang Zeng's guess.
Compared with the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry is not called Yamen.
The Criminal Ministry is now a proper government with real power, and it is also the only one with perfect power among the six bureaus.
The person in charge of the Penalty Department has only a weaker power than the three slayers and the three slayers in the inner court.
Although the Ministry of Households is not as good as the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, it somehow robbed some of the power when the Criminal Division was deposed. In addition, when Li Di served as the Minister of Household Affairs, he more or less shared power from the Third Division.
The power in the hands of the head of the household department is not as good as that of the Xing Department or even the Sanya, but it is three points stronger than the other departments.
In comparison, the Ministry of Engineering is the weakest yamen among the six.
Even weaker than the Ministry of Rites with a very low sense of existence.
Although the Ministry of Rites does not have much power, they can occasionally show up when the court holds various important ceremonies.
The Ministry of Industry is different.
Not only did the Ministry of Industry lack power, but it didn't even have the opportunity to show up.
In terms of fortifications, the imperial court had three prisons: Shaofu, Jiangzuo, and Dushui.
Almost all the fortifications of the imperial court, inside and out, were taken over by these three supervisors.
The Ministry of Industry can't get it at all.
There is a joke among the people that the Ministry of Industry is the court's "solitary garden".
Where is Lonely Garden
That is a place to support orphans and orphans.
In other words, the Ministry of Industry is the old-age yamen in the imperial court.
Kou Ji, a powerful official, Cao Shilang, moved to the Ministry of Industry to be in charge of a department. It seemed that he was promoted and took power.
In fact, he has no power at all.
If it wasn't for Kou Ji's initiative, but the words spoken by others, the Manchu civil and military would doubt whether this person was going to entrap Kou Ji.
Under Wang Zeng’s questioning, Kou Ji nodded and smiled: “Yes, the next official is going to be transferred to the Ministry of Engineering.”
Wang Zeng and Li Di looked at each other, frowning, full of doubts in their hearts.
They didn't understand Kou Ji's intention to go to the Ministry of Engineering.
They looked at Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun seemed to understand Kou Ji's'intentions', the expression on his face eased a little, and said: "It's good to go to the Qingshui yamen of the Ministry of Industry for a few years to hone and temper your temperament."
He bluntly said that the Ministry of Engineering is a Qingshui Yamen.
But no one thinks what he said is wrong.
As soon as Kou Zhun said this, Wang Zeng, Li Di, and the Manchu civil and military also understood Kou Ji's'intention'.
They all felt that Kou Ji was using this method of rising and falling to deal with the deadlock on the Hanging Arch Hall.
It not only satisfies the invitation of hundreds of officials, but also satisfies Kou Zhun, Li Di, and Wang Zeng's fear that he will be promoted too quickly.
"Zhongshusheren, decree..."
"The power official Cao Shilang, the courtmaster of the court, and the Baozhou provincial governor Kou Ji, moved to take charge of the official affairs of the Ministry of Industry, ranked as the fourth grade, in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, and the power is equivalent to the power of Cao Shangshu.
"..."
As soon as Kou Zhun spoke, he was promoted to the fourth rank of Kou Ji's original official position.
At the same time, all the major and minor affairs of the Ministry of Industry were handed over to Kou Ji.
The so-called management of the Ministry of Industry can also be called the management of the Ministry of Industry.
The word "Guan Gou" is mostly used when officials have insufficient qualifications and grades, but want to be in power.
In this regard, the Manchu civil and military has no objection.
For some of them, as long as Kou Ji is transferred from the staff, whether it is promotion or depreciation, they don't care.
For the other part of them, as long as Kou Ji's position is promoted under their pressure, then their goal will be achieved.
After Zhongshushe people drafted the edict, it was sent to Zhao Zhen.
Kou quasi nodded.
Zhao Zhen covered the edict with a jade seal.
Chen Lin held the edict in her hand and read it out in front of Manchu Civil and Martial Arts.
When Chen Lin finished reading the edict, Kou Ji, the right official, Cao Shilang, became an official official in the Ministry of Industry.
Manchu dynasty civil and military arrogant congratulations.
Kou Ji smiled without saying a word.
Kou Zhun declared a dismissal.
Zhao Yuanyan took the lead to leave the vertical arch hall.
Before leaving, he gave Wang Qinruo a deep glance.
Wang Qinruo nodded and understood. After Zhao Yuanyan had left, he invited Li Zi and others to a banquet in a different courtyard outside the city of Bianjing in the name of a banquet.
The group of people huddled together and left the Chui Gong Hall.
The other officials also got together in twos and threes, and while discussing the changes in the court hall today, they walked out of the hall.
Li Di, Wang Zeng, and Kou Ji were the last to leave.
Li Di stuffed the Chaohue into his sleeve, and the pressed sleeve was pulled back long. He paced in front of Kou Ji and sighed, "Hey! It's not good for you to go to the Ministry of Engineering."
Apart from a group of officials who are reluctant to resign from the court, the Ministry of Industry is still waiting for death. "
Wang Zeng held the court with both hands and walked in front of Kou Ji. He hated iron and steel and said, "Since the first year of Tianxi, no official from the Ministry of Industry has been promoted. Before Tianxi, officials from the Ministry of Industry were also transferred. Rarely.
Except for a small number of people who are part-time ministers of the Ministry of Industry, other officials of the Ministry of Industry are basically waiting to die in the Ministry of Industry.
Whether it is the criminal department temporarily replaced by the old man, or the household department temporarily replaced by Li Sang, it is a good place.
As long as you go, the old man and Li Xiang will embarrass you
When the time comes, the two of us will definitely give you the power in our hands, and firmly occupy the title of Shang Shu. Even if others want to use this to overwhelm you, it won't work.
Li Xiang reminds you that that's what it means.
But you didn't understand Li Xiang's meaning, you had to go to the Qingshui yamen of the Ministry of Engineering and eat and wait to die.
Angry old man! "
Kou Ji bowed his hand to Li Di and Wang Zeng, saying: "The two elders have a lot of hard work, the kid naturally knows. But the reason why the kid chose to go to the Ministry of Engineering is also the kid's own intention."
Li Di and Wang Zeng were taken aback when they heard the words.
Li Di sneered and said, "What? You went to the Ministry of Industry and wanted to make a plan to seize the powers of Shaofu Supervisor, General Supervisor, and Capital Water Supervisor?"
Kou Ji smiled and said, "It's not impossible."
Li Di snorted coldly: "The old man advises you to put this mind away. Among the three prisons, it is okay for Dushui Supervisor to say that Supervisor Dushui will be equal to you. If you want to seize power from him, you can still plan one or two. .
However, there are fewer government supervisors and will serve as supervisors. The judges of the two prisons are all from the third grade, and the official position is higher than you.
More importantly, the Shaofu supervised the imperial court’s money-making bureau, and will supervise ordnance forging.
The people inside are mixed, and the entanglement of interests is complicated.
Many martial arts, civil servants, and clan royal families are all involved, far from being able to blend in with a small fourth-rank official.
You want to seize power from the two prisons, it is pure wishful thinking. "
After a pause, Li Di said again: "In terms of qualifications, abilities, achievements, and connections, Lin Te is far better than you. But during his tenure in the staff department, he didn't dare to move a young government supervisor and would be a superintendent.
Before Lint, there were several outstanding veterans who also served as ministers of the Ministry of Industry.
No one of them dared to move the Young Mansion Supervisor and will serve as a Supervisor. "
Wang Zeng pointed to himself on the side and said, "Even if the old man participates in political affairs and wants to use the young government supervisor, he will most likely be trapped in the mire and unable to get out."
Kou Ji knew that Li Di and Wang had said this to him, and it was for his own good, but he made up his mind to go to the Ministry of Engineering and would never change it.
Kou Ji once again handed over to the two of them, saying: "Thank you for the love of both of you, the kid has his own plan."
Li Di and Wang Zeng looked at each other when they heard this, and both sighed.
They are not stupid.
Of course, it can be seen that Kou Ji insisted on going to the Ministry of Industry, and he definitely wanted to do something.
It's just that the water used by the Ministry of Industry and the Shaofu Supervisor and the Superintendent is a bit too turbid, so turbid that they both dare not easily intervene.
Kou Ji insisted on touching the nail.
How could they not sigh in their hearts.
Seeing the two sighed, Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "You two don't have to worry about the kid. If the kid has nothing to do in the Ministry of Engineering, he can call it out at any time.
Anyway, the kid is still young, and your three elders will protect you..."
Li Di and Wang Zeng nodded reluctantly when they heard this.
Kou Ji said again: "The little trouble, kid, is not a trouble. Compared to the trouble that the court will face, it is nothing at all."
"The trouble that the court is about to face?"
Li Di and Wang Zeng were both taken aback.
Kou Ji nodded and said: "If the kid guessed right, Zhao Yuanyan is right, I am afraid it is not simple."
The expressions of Li Di and Wang Zeng changed slightly.
Li Di asked, "What do you mean by this? Could it be that you heard something about it?"
Kou Ji shook his head and said, "I didn't hear it, but saw it."
"See it?"
The two frowned at the same time.
Kou Ji continued: "Don’t you two in the hall just now, didn’t you see that Zhao Yuanyan, Wang Qinruo, and Li Zi were wearing pants together? At the Hanging Arch Hall today, if not for the three of them to persecute me, I wouldn’t have moved to the Ministry of Industry. ."
The expressions of Li Di and Wang Zeng changed again and again.
If Wang Qinruo and Li Zi had any plans, Li Di and Wang had estimated that they would not care.
After all, as an important minister in the DPRK, it would be abnormal if there was no order for the city and no plans.
But if Zhao Yuanyan was added, it would be very different.
With Zhao Yuanyan's position today, and walking so close to the important officials of the court, he hardly needs to guess what he wants to do.
"You go home first. Both of me are going to Shishitang to discuss with your grandfather."
Li Di and Wang Zeng had speculations through Kou Ji's words, but they did not reveal anything.
Li Di gave Kou Ji a call and stopped talking to Kou Ji.
Together with Wang Zeng, he hurried out of the Chuigong Hall and went to Shishitang to find Kou.
After Kou Ji waited for them to leave, he took a deep breath and said to himself: "Dare to dig a hole in me? Then don't blame me for being polite."
Kou Ji stepped out of the Chuggong Hall, stood outside, and took another deep breath.
There was a smile at the corner of his mouth, and then the smile became brighter and brighter.
"In your eyes, the Ministry of Engineering, that is the Qingshui Yamen, but in my eyes, it is the home court!"
