As soon as Cui Xuhong said these words, Xie Jiming finally understood why the look he just looked at him was so meaningful...
However, Xie Jiming's brows furrowed even more tightly. He wondered why Cui Xuhong recommended him
Have you lost your mind and gone crazy
Although Cui Xuhong never mentioned removing him from the post of minister after the incident in Prince Yu's Mansion, the two of them had always had different political opinions, even though Cui Xuhong did not embarrass him for Xia Chu's sake.
That wouldn't make him a thorn in his side. Cui Xuhong would be even more unhappy if he were on equal footing from now on.
Let alone Xie Jiming, people from the Ministry of Industry couldn't understand Cui Xuhong's recommendation.
Although I don’t know why Cui Xuhong inexplicably changed his story last time, and ended up sending Fang Bolun to Zhao Prison, Cui Xuhong hated Jie Jiming from the bottom of his heart. This is something that everyone can see.
The civil and military officials in the court were also dumbfounded, and they increasingly believed that this must be the emperor's order, and Cui Xuhong was forced to recommend Xie Jiming.
It is well known that the emperor prefers Xie Ji Ming. At the beginning, he pushed the number one scholar to the position of fourth-grade minister of the Ministry of Industry against all opinions. But I don’t know what kind of benefits the emperor promised Cui Xuhong this time, which can actually make Cui Xuhong swallow it. Such cowardice.
The emperor was also stunned. When did Cui Xuhong understand the holy will so well
When he first inserted Xie Jiming into the Ministry of Industry, Cui Xuhong complained in front of the emperor many times, all of which were Xie Jiming's fault.
What show is being played today
The first person in the Hall of Supreme Harmony to react was Xiao Yanjun. He hated Xie Jiming even more deeply than Cui Xuhong. He had been deliberately recruiting this person since he took part in the scientific examination for the second time, but even though he lowered his attitude Although Xie Jiming showed his kindness diligently, he ignored him from beginning to end.
He knew early on that he would kill this kind of person while he was still young and before he had any remaining strength.
Unfortunately, he still survived the day before the scientific examination.
Sure enough, after Xiao Zimu failed to practice favoritism in the imperial examination, no one could stop him from standing out and becoming the number one scholar. His father favored him, and he became the first in history to be a fourth-rank court official. official.
At the moment, he didn't know why Cui Xuhong, who was at odds with Xie Jiming, would recommend Xie Jiming, but he could never let Xie Jiming sit on one of the six ministerial books.
"Father, Mr. Jie has not been an official for half a year. Being appointed Minister of the Ministry of Industry was already a special case. Now he has to be promoted two levels. It is really inappropriate. I may be criticized by others in the future." Xiao Yanjun thought for a moment. Fan stepped forward to stop him, but now that the position has failed, whoever the post of Minister of Rites falls on cannot fall on Xie Jiming.
Xiao Yanjun's words are reasonable and reasonable, and no one wants to compete for this position.
Even though the ministers believed that this was the emperor's private instruction, Xiao Yanjun took the lead at this time, and Xiao Yanjun's followers followed suit. For a time, even the ministers who were not Xiao Yanjun's group felt the same and echoed the sentiment.
Opposition voices suddenly arose in the court, each one more convincing than the other. Xiao Zimu sighed looking at the scene in front of him that he had already foreseen. He stepped forward and was about to speak for Jie Ji Ming, but Xiao Mubai was sure She grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.
Xiao Zimu looked sideways at Xiao Mubai and saw that he didn't look like he was ready to persuade him, so why did he stop him from stepping forward
Is it possible that Xie Jiming alone should be scorned by the civil and military officials of the dynasty
Xiao Zimu looked at the emperor's face again. He was already very embarrassed. Even if the emperor had intentions, he might be powerless in the face of the complaints from the whole court. He shook Xiao Mubai's hand and tried to break free.
At this time, if no one speaks for Jie Jiming, this matter will become a scandal.
At this moment, Wu Taifu, who had never spoken, came out: "Your Majesty, I believe that since Mr. Xie was granted the title of Minister of the Ministry of Industry as an exception, he must have something special about him. The emperor has a sharp eye and makes people use their talents. Mr. Xie also I have lived up to your expectations and qualified for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry. I was even recognized and personally recommended by Mr. Cui, which is enough to prove the emperor's wise decision. Although Mr. Jie has not been an official for a long time, can one person's ability be compared with that of doing a job? Is it determined by the length of official service? The reason why our country, the Great Xiao, ranks first among the five countries is precisely because the emperor is both civil and military, makes full use of talents, and gives great importance to talented people. In the beginning, he was able to confer the title of Zhuang Yuan Lang as a special case and appoint him as the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Now the official title is What’s wrong with two levels?”
Taifu Wu's words were loud and powerful, refuting Xiao Yanjun's argument just now.
What shocked everyone was not the plausibility of his objections, but the fact that Taifu Wu, who had always prided himself on being clean and honest, actually started to flatter him.
What these words are talking about is whether Xie Jiming can be promoted.
Besides these words, everyone was trying to flatter the emperor.
Taifu Wu was really good at not taking pictures, and his one shot was astonishing. The whole court was so impressed that the chins of the civil and military officials almost dropped.
The emperor who had just said these words had never felt more comfortable in his heart. No matter what he said or what he said, they were very consistent with what he was thinking. The emperor looked at Taifu Wu with eyes full of admiration, and he quite knew me. Only Taifu Wu has such a meaning.
"You have all heard that Taifu Wu has always been strict, and even he has never thought that there is anything wrong with this move. Do you think that you are more discerning and know people better than me and my teacher?" The emperor said this. When he came out, the sound in the court fell silent.
To put it bluntly, if they were only challenging the emperor alone, relying on the unified momentum of all civil and military officials, they could force the emperor to think about whether he was willing to pay for Jie Jiming's reputation of insisting on going his own way and not listening to the advice of the officials.
If it doesn't work, hundreds of officials can still recommend it with blood or life!
The emperor has to think about whether he wants to be famous forever, right
But with Taifu Wu's words, the thoughts in his heart disappeared in an instant.
Who is the best at giving this advice
Mr. Wu!
Taifu Wu is the weather vane of the officials. This matter of blood recommendation and life recommendation may make them, ministers, grinning for a long time even if they kowtow and scratch their skin, but the officials of this group are easy to pick up and it is commonplace.
Can their thin arms and legs be able to twist the thighs of these officials who have always risked their lives
Ministers, you look at me and I look at you, and they all think in their hearts that the emperor has really put a lot of effort into helping Xie Jiming ascend to the throne this time. He can only promise Cui Xuhong benefits and make him a useless recommendation.
How could Taifu Wu persuade him to support Xie Jiming
Xie Jiming himself looked at Taifu Wu in shock, not expecting that he could actually stand up and speak for himself.
Xiao Zimu looked at Xiao Mubai in shock. Did he do this...
