I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 379

Hearing this, both Yan Song and Xu Jie were stunned for a moment. What they didn't expect was that the emperor would actually ask the two of them for their opinions on this matter.

Ever since the emperor resisted all opinions and appointed Li Chunfang as Minister of Rites, the actual power to appoint and remove officials has gradually fallen into the hands of the emperor.

But soon, the eyes of Yan Song and Xu Jie were full of fiery colors.

"If someone I recommend can be appointed governor of Henan, wouldn't it be possible to greatly expand the party members under my command?"

"In this way, not only can you increase your bargaining chips, but you can also accumulate strength for the possible liquidation!"

Thinking of this, the eyes of Yan Song and Xu Jie were full of heat.

Afterwards, Xu Jie stepped forward and asked His Majesty.

"Report to Your Majesty, I would like to recommend Hu Zhili, Minister of Guanglu Taichang Temple, as the new governor of Henan Province!"

Xu Jie didn't wait for Yan Song to refute, and immediately added.

"Hu Zhili, a Jinshi in the 38th year of Jiajing, he is honest and fair, upright, and has quite a lot of political achievements. Right now, people in Henan are fluctuating. It is reasonable to send such an honest and capable minister to appease him!"

After listening to the candidates recommended by Xu Jie, Jiajing propped his chin with one hand, thought for a moment, and said slowly.

"Hu Zhili? This is a usable talent!"

Seeing this situation, Yan Song immediately stood up and retorted.

"Your Majesty, this Hu Zhili doesn't have much experience in governing the local area. I fear that he won't be able to cope with the complex situation in the local area. At that time, I may miss a big deal!"

"Weichen feels that it is still necessary to send a mature and prudent official with experience in governing the local area to go to Henan to serve as the governor of Henan."

When Yan Song said this, he paused for a moment, then continued.

"Therefore, I would like to recommend Liu Zhenxin, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, to Your Majesty!"

After listening to the candidates recommended by Yan Song, Jiajing couldn't help frowning, and then said.

"Yan Song, I remember this Liu Zhenxin, have you recommended it to me before?"

"Remember how I evaluated this person?"

Jiajing's tone was so flat that no one could hear any emotion from it.

When Yan Song heard this, his face became even more respectful, and he opened his mouth immediately.

"Your Majesty, I remember, you said earlier that this Liu Zhenxin is not very good at things, and it is difficult to take on the important task!"

After receiving Yan Song's answer, Jiajing raised his eyebrows, turned his gaze to Yan Song, and asked.

"Since you still remember what I said earlier, why do you still recommend this person to me?"

Yan Song heard the accusation contained in Jiajing's words, and immediately explained it calmly.

"His Majesty, there is only one reason why I recommended this Liu Zhenxin, that is, this person has extremely rich experience in governing the local area. He started from the county magistrate, step by step, and gradually achieved the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials. This location!"

"Based on his ability, he may not be able to take on the important task of minister of the Ministry of Rites. If he is delegated to the local government to serve as an important member of one party, he will definitely manage Henan in an orderly manner with his rich experience in governing the local area."

"Here, I can assure His Majesty that this Liu Zhenxin will never disappoint His Majesty's trust!"

Seeing Yan Song acting like this, Xu Jie on the side gritted his teeth, and immediately asked Jiajing who was sitting on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, I can assure Your Majesty here, and Hu Zhili will not disappoint His Majesty's trust!"

After Jiajing listened to the candidates recommended by Yan Song and Xu Jie to him, he immediately found himself in trouble.

"Hu Zhili, whom Xu Jie recommended to me, is capable, but he doesn't have much experience in governing the local area. Liu Zhenxin, whom Yan Song recommended to me, lacks ability, but has rich experience in governing the local area!"

Thinking of this, Jiajing couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Oh, if only my Ming Dynasty could have a few more officials like Hu Zongxian who are both capable and able to handle affairs!"

Afterwards, Jiajing's fingers were tapped on the table in front of him very regularly.

Time passed by like this, and the Hall of Mental Cultivation suddenly fell into silence, and everyone was quietly waiting for the emperor's final decision.

At this moment, Jiajing stopped knocking on the table, as if he had made up his mind, turned his gaze to Xu Jie who was aside, and said slowly.

"Forget it, I have decided, let Hu Zhili be the governor of Henan!"

"Xu Jie, I hope that the person you recommend will not disappoint me."

Jiajing looked at Xu Jie quietly, and then added.

Seeing this situation, Xu Jie forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and immediately responded in a deep voice.

"Follow Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's entrustment!"

Seeing this situation, Yan Song at the side had a look of disappointment in his eyes, but that look of disappointment only appeared for a moment, and soon disappeared.

Immediately, Yan Song took a step forward, took out the completed memorial from his sleeve, held it high above his head, and said respectfully.

"By the way, Your Majesty, I have already made a rough plan for the matter of hanging the national flag at the gates of government offices in various places that you proposed on the pier earlier."

As soon as Yan Song's words fell, Lu Fang, who was waiting on the side, stepped forward quickly, took the memorial from Yan Song's hand, and handed it to Jiajing respectfully.

Jiajing took the memorial, opened it, and roughly browsed through the contents recorded on it.

In the memorial, Yan Song not only formulated the corresponding standards, but also took into account various emergencies, and even had corresponding regulations to deal with those behaviors that maliciously damaged the national flag!

After Jiajing finished browsing the contents of the memorial, he put it aside, then turned his gaze to Yan Song, and ordered.

"Well, that's right. Mr. Yan Ge's plan is very good. I don't think there is any need to discuss it anymore, just implement it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that the plan he proposed was adopted by the emperor, Yan Song's mood improved a lot.

Seeing that the matter had been completely settled, Jiajing waved his hand and immediately issued an order to expel the guests.

"Okay, since this matter has been discussed and the result has been discussed, let's settle this matter!"

"If you two have nothing to do, you can leave."

Seeing this situation, Yan Song and Xu Jie bowed slightly to Jiajing who was sitting on the dragon chair, and immediately said in unison: "Your Majesty, I will leave!"

……

When Yan Song returned to Yan's mansion in a sedan chair, Yan Shifan, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly greeted him and helped Yan Song out of the sedan chair, his face was full of worry.

"Father, Your Majesty is looking for you suddenly. Is there something I want you to do?"

When Yan Song heard this, he glanced at Yan Shifan angrily, and explained.

"Your Majesty came to me just now to discuss the candidate for the new governor of Henan!"

Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Yan Shifan's face at the right time, and then, as if thinking of something, he confirmed to Yan Song.

"Father, my child vaguely remembers that Hai Rui was sent to Henan by His Majesty to investigate the case earlier, so this matter can't be related to him, right?"

When Yan Song heard this, he said with emotion.

"That's right, this Hai Rui has only been in Henan for a few days, and he has found out the truth of the case!"

When Yan Shifan heard this, he couldn't hold back his curiosity, and then continued to ask questions.

"Father, who did you recommend to His Majesty, and has His Majesty adopted your opinion?"

Yan Song shook his head imperceptibly when he heard the words, and then responded.

"No, His Majesty has adopted Xu Jie's suggestion and appointed Hu Zhili, Minister of Guanglu Taichang Temple, as the new governor of Henan!"

When Yan Song said this, the look in his eyes dimmed a little, and he said with emotion: "Oh, it seems that His Majesty is now more inclined to let young officials accumulate experience!"

After hearing this, Yan Shifan on the side thought about it for a while, and boldly gave his own suggestion.

"Father, my son, do you want to get in touch with those students who have achieved better results in this palace examination?"

When Yan Song heard this, he was like a cat with its hair blown up, and immediately reprimanded: "You idiot, what His Majesty means is to treat this group of students coldly, and you are still rushing to contact them, you Isn't this courting death?"

Yan Shifan was suddenly reprimanded by this, and couldn't help but freeze in place.

After a while, after trying to understand the reason behind it, Yan Shifan put on an educated attitude, and said respectfully: "Thank you father for clarifying the confusion, my child understands."
