Chapter 17
"Grand Master, this time the spring hunt was disrupted by Jiang Si. I'm afraid it's not good for Honglu Temple." Dali Temple Minister Zhou Zheng visited at night to discuss with Dong Taishi about Honglu Temple Minister's succession.

Last month, the Minister of Honglusi retired and returned to his hometown, but the successor has yet to be decided.

Honglu Temple is mainly responsible for diplomatic relations with foreign countries. Now that Daguang is in its prime, there are countless foreign countries that want to make friends with Daguang.Honglu Siqing is not a heavy job, but a fat job, and there are many people staring at him.At present, the one with the greatest chance of winning, apart from them, is the prime minister's party.

Taishi Dong valued the position of Minister of Honglu Temple, and had other plans in mind.No matter what, he had to arrange his own people to make it easier for him to do things later.

Originally, according to the plan, as long as Jiang Bang was stopped, their people would be able to come out on top in this spring hunt and ask the emperor for a reward.Everyone has already been selected, only Dongfeng is missing.

Unexpectedly, the wind actually blew to Jiang Bang's side!

"Since the devious strategy doesn't work, let's face it directly. Tomorrow morning, if you bring this up, the emperor has shallow eyesight and can't see anything. See you at the prime minister's side."

"Subordinate to obey!"

Early the next morning, Song Hui carried two big steamed buns and stuffed them into his mouth as he walked.There is a bulge in the stomach, and I don't know what is stuffed.

As the captain of the Shenji Battalion, he also has to go to court, but getting up too early in the morning and not being able to eat is really difficult for a big man like him.

Song Hui's official position is not considered high, so he can only stand outside the court hall and cannot enter the hall with Jiang Bang.But it's also convenient for him to eat secretly outside - as long as he is careful, no one will find him eating!

Jiang Bang couldn't bear to look directly at it. He chose Song Hui as the captain because Song Hui's ability was impeccable.It's just that this character is really a headache.

It's really indecent to walk and eat in front of everyone on this bright day!
Forget it, out of sight is out of mind!

Jiang Bang strode forward and directly entered the inner hall, but Song Hui, who was used to chatting with him before starting to let go, felt a little strange.

【The prince also hates going to court the most?Why are you so positive today? 】

[It doesn't matter, eat the steamed bun first, otherwise it will be cold later and it won't taste good! 】

While Song Hui was happily nibbling on steamed buns outside, in the inner hall, a battle had already begun.

As soon as Zhou Zheng arrived, he went straight to the point, and the prime minister and his party were caught off guard, "Report to the emperor, the position of Minister of Honglu Temple has been vacant for a long time, and the border crossing is about to start. If there is no one to take over, I am afraid it will damage people's livelihood." ah!"

The border mutual market is the time when Daguang opens up foreign people to do business in Daguang once a year.For the common people, this is indeed a very important event. Many people have saved goods for a year, just waiting for this time to sell to those foreign businessmen.

And this event has always been hosted by Honglu Temple.

Li Ying didn't care about government affairs at all. He still had some impressions of this minister of Honglu Temple when he retired and returned home.But later, it was left behind.Coupled with the fact that I often went to the Hundred Beasts Garden to see tigers recently, I forgot even more thoroughly.

At this moment, after hearing Zhou Zheng talking about it, I remembered that there was such a thing!
Li Ying couldn't remember all the names of civil and military officials.After thinking about it carefully, he really couldn't think of who should take over.In the past, he usually asked his queen mother about such problems that he couldn't cope with.But now, the queen mother hasn't come back yet!
Li Ying was caught in a dilemma, mainly thinking about how to cover up the past naturally, so that everyone would not find out that he had forgotten about it, and he didn't know who to send to take over.

But in the eyes of the grand master and the prime minister, they have different opinions.

[The emperor usually has no opinion, why is he still thinking about it?Could it be that the prime minister said something to him? 】 Grand Master Dong silently speculates in his heart!
【Why does the emperor look so embarrassed?Could it be that the grand master said something to him? 】The Prime Minister silently speculated in his heart.

Jiang Bang has never participated in this kind of partisan disputes, and he will pay more attention only when military and political issues are involved.Besides, he doesn't like the grand master and the prime minister, so it's quite interesting to see the two of them fighting silently there now.

Woke up too early, didn't sleep well, it was all about watching a play.

"According to the opinions of the ministers, who is more suitable to take over?" Li Ying still couldn't make a decision, so he simply listened to who they wanted.Anyway, as long as you don't bother him, anyone can go!

"Reporting to the emperor, I believe that the new No. [-] scholar, Youzi An, can take up the post!" Grand Master Dong stood up and recommended.

As soon as his words fell, the prime minister continued to speak, "My Majesty, I believe that Du Zhijian, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, has been in power for many years and has rich experience, so he should take over."

You Zi'an belonged to the grand master, and Du Zhijian belonged to the prime minister. Li Ying just wanted to choose someone at random, but he didn't want to, so he directly asked a multiple-choice question!
According to his nature, when he can't be chosen, it's better to draw lots, whoever catches it will be his!However, before leaving the palace, the empress mother gave thousands of reminders that all changes in official positions must be handled with caution, and decisions must not be made privately.

Originally, the queen mother wanted him to go to elder sister, but at that time the elder sister hated them so much that the queen mother couldn't speak.Just let him pretend to be stupid if he really can't do it, write a letter outside the palace, and hand it over to the queen mother for decision.

Now that elder sister has forgiven him, can I ask elder sister for help?
Li Ying's eyes lit up, and he suddenly had an idea, "This matter is of great importance, I need to think carefully, and we will discuss it next time!"

"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be delayed!"

Zhou Zheng wanted to keep Li Ying, but unfortunately, Li Ying was very determined to go to court, he flicked his sleeves, "Okay, I know, it's not too late to discuss next time!"

Every morning, what can't be delayed?If it's just a matter of one or two days, it's as if he will delay it for ten days and a half months.When he asks Sister A, a decision can be made tomorrow morning!
Li Ying headed straight to Changle Palace after the imperial court, usually he would go to Concubine Liu Gui to have breakfast and listen to ditties, but today he suddenly changed his route, and Concubine Liu Gui was so angry that he threw teacups in the palace again.The eunuch at the House of Internal Affairs silently wrote down - this is already the third set of teacups dropped by the imperial concubine this month.

"Sister! Sister!"

In Changle Palace, Li Ying is more comfortable than in his own palace.But it was also the inner hall, when he came in from the outer hall, his shelf was still very stable.

Xin Yi was not surprised by this, Zhou Zijin nodded at her, and she led everyone back with interest.And strictly ordered others not to come close.

Song Xuan was cleaning in the outer hall. The steps he had swept were repeated again and again, and he did not leave after several times.Especially when I heard Xin Yi ordering others not to approach, so as not to disturb the emperor and queen, I wished to approach immediately——

【Why did the emperor come to find the queen today? 】
