Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

What a dog!
Regarding Li Shanchang's recommendation of Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng to be in charge of the Securities Regulatory Bureau and the Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty, both the retired emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor Zhu Biao and other cabinet ministers complained in their hearts.

Li Shan had lived in the government for a long time, so he naturally felt the changes in the attitudes of others around him.

However, after making this decision, Li Shanchang had already prepared himself to simply ignore this point.

"Grand Emperor, Your Majesty, many of our old ministers are now old, and even the old ministers have become less and less capable in recent years. It is only because of their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty that they have been able to hold on!"

"Of course, I am not here to praise myself, but to say... As I am declining, my Ming Dynasty also needs to promote some talented young people..."

At this point, Li Shanchang turned to look at Ouyang Lun and said with a smile: "Prince Consort Ouyang is a great example. It is because of Prince Consort Ouyang that our Ming Dynasty has developed so fast!"

"If we can train a few more capable ministers comparable to Prince Consort Ouyang, wouldn't our Ming Dynasty develop even faster?"

"So I beg the Emperor, Your Majesty, to agree!"

Li Shanchang spoke with confidence and passion, and those who didn't know him would think he was a good official serving the country and the people.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw clearly what Li Shanchang was thinking, but he did not directly reject it. As the actual controller of the Ming Dynasty, he also had his own ideas.

There is no doubt that Li Shanchang had selfish motives in recommending Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, but Zhu Yuanzhang very much agreed with what Li Shanchang said... The Ming Dynasty needs many Ouyang Luns, not just one!

But to be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think that there was anyone among the Ming Dynasty's officials who could really compare to Ouyang Lun.

Even people like Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng can't do it.

It’s not possible, but if I could have half of Ouyang Lun’s ability... No, no, just one tenth would be enough.

Moreover, by promoting people like Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, the situation in the court can be balanced in the future.

"Li Shanchang, are you really sure that Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng can handle the affairs of the Securities Regulatory Bureau and the Ming Central Bank?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked slowly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have confidence in Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng!" In order to seize power from Ouyang Lun, Li Shanchang could not care about anything else. Although he did not have as strong confidence in Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng as he said, he could only make a complete bet now.

However, Li Shanchang was also gambling that the retired Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to give Ouyang Lun too much power.

As long as Zhu Yuanzhang had the slightest hesitation in his heart, Li Shanchang would have a great chance of success.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Li Shanchang say this, he immediately rolled his eyes in his heart.

Li Shanchang, oh Li Shanchang, in order to seize power from Ouyang Lun, you really don't even care about your reputation!

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng do have some abilities, but rather than believing that they can run the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty, we might as well believe that there really are gods in this world!

Although he was complaining in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang looked calm. He turned to look at Ouyang Lun and asked, "Ouyang Lun, you are the one who made the suggestion. What do you think about the heads of these two new yamen?"

"If you have enough energy and are willing to take on the entire responsibility, the Emperor and I are willing to give you a little more responsibility."

"Yes, my father and I have full confidence in you, my brother-in-law!"

Zhu Biao spoke repeatedly.

Forehead…

Li Shanchang felt extremely uncomfortable with what Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao said.

He was the one who actively applied, but...you two emperors and sons both went to ask Ouyang Lun?!
Even if you are the emperor, this is too rude!

Although he felt upset, Li Shanchang did not dare to show it and could only look at Ouyang Lun. When he stood up to grab power, Li Shanchang had already taken this into consideration. After saying so much just now, the fact that Ouyang Lun had too much power and was responsible for too many projects had already been deeply rooted in people's minds.

If Ouyang Lun still wanted to hold on to this power at this time, he would certainly be rejected by the retired emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor Zhu Biao, and all the civil and military officials.

It proves that Ouyang Lun intends to monopolize power.

It’s also a kind of victory!
As long as Ouyang Lun does not personally serve as the head of the Securities and Futures Commission and the Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng will have a great chance!

Swish--

The others also turned their eyes to Ouyang Lun, intending to see what choice Ouyang Lun would make.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang asking about him, Ouyang Lun cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I agree with Mr. Li Shanchang's opinion. I am not suitable to be the head of the Securities Regulatory Bureau and the Central Bank in my current situation!"

"We must give this opportunity to other young officials in the court and train a younger generation of officials for our Ming Dynasty!"

When Ouyang Lun said this, everyone at the scene was stunned.

What's going on? Ouyang Lun actually agreed with what Li Shanchang said. Did the sun rise from the west?

Or maybe their ears were wrong!
After a long while, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and other cabinet ministers realized that the sun did not rise from the west and they did not hear wrong.

"Your Majesty, since Prince Consort Ouyang agrees with my suggestion, please give Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng a chance. As long as you give them this chance, you two will never be disappointed!"

Li Shanchang was also shocked why Ouyang Lun agreed with him, but he naturally would not miss such a good opportunity.

"Master Li...don't be impatient!"

Ouyang Lun spoke slowly.

"Ouyang Lun, you are not going to go back on your word in front of the Emperor, His Majesty?"

Li Shanchang spoke with a smile.

"Change your mind?" Ouyang Lun smiled slightly, "I really don't want to be the leader, but I didn't say I would recommend Qi Tai or Huang Zicheng to be the leader!"

After saying this, Ouyang Lun bowed and said to Li Shanchang, who was looking at him in astonishment, "Your Majesty, I also have someone to recommend!"

"Oh?" Hearing that Ouyang Lun also had someone to recommend, Zhu Yuanzhang also became curious, "Since Ouyang Lun also has someone to recommend, then tell me!"

"I would like to recommend Shen San, the chief treasurer of Yong'an Silver Cabinet. He has been in charge of Yong'an Silver Cabinet for many years and has made it the best silver cabinet in Ming Dynasty. His ability is beyond words. The Central Bank of Ming Dynasty needs to take into account the overall currency and economy of Ming Dynasty... No one is more suitable than him, even more suitable than me."

"I would also like to recommend my steward Zhou Bao. As the saying goes, one should promote the virtuous regardless of their relationship with him. Although Zhou Bao is my steward, he has always been monitoring my private business and has made few mistakes. It is precisely because of Zhou Bao's assistance that I can devote myself wholeheartedly to the affairs of the court."

"It can be said that after so many years of training, Zhou Bao has developed a pair of dog noses and eagle eyes. No economic corruption can be hidden from him!"

"Now, for the development of our Ming Dynasty, I am willing to bear the pain and give up my love!"

Ouyang Lun was also extremely passionate at this moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang:......

Li Shanchang: ...

Cabinet Ministers: ...

Depend on!
It’s too early to call Li Shanchang a dog!
Compared with Ouyang Lun, Li Shanchang is really too upright.

Although Li Shanchang had selfish motives in making the recommendation, at least the person he recommended was an official in the court.

And the people recommended by Li Shanchang... were all his own servants.

Let two servants become ministerial-level officials? Ouyang Lun, this is more than excessive, you want to be the boss of the family!

If you have the chance in the future, you will not arrange for your dog to live in the palace and eat royal food, right? ?
Swish--

Zhu Biao, Li Shanchang and other cabinet ministers all turned their eyes to Zhu Yuanzhang.

They didn't dare to say anything about Ouyang Lun's suggestion, and could only wait and see how Zhu Yuanzhang would speak.

This Ouyang Lun is so brave!

Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Ouyang Lun would recommend officials from the Prince Consort's Party. After all, there were many outstanding talents in the Prince Consort's Party. But he never expected that Ouyang Lun would actually recommend Shen San and Zhou Bao.

Arranging one's own accountant and housekeeper to serve as officials in the Ming Dynasty court is definitely the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!
Even in the context of the entire history, it was a pretty explosive operation!

You don’t have to be related by blood to recommend a talented person… Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang’s mouth twitched even more.

"Ouyang Lun, are you... serious?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty, look at what you said. Although I am usually a little jumpy, this is a serious meeting. Of course I am serious!"

"I am dedicated to the public, so I will naturally recommend the most suitable person! If the Emperor and Your Majesty think that he is not suitable, just veto it."

Ouyang Lun’s meaning was very clear. Just now, it was you two, father and son, who asked me about the candidate. Now that I have spoken it out, you disagree again.

Anyway, I have already recommended this candidate, you can use him or not if you want!
Ouyang Lun's calmness made Zhu Yuanzhang a little unsure.

"Besides the people recommended by Li Shanchang and Ouyang Lun, do you have anyone else to recommend?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

Lu Chang and Song Lian lay on the massage bed and turned their heads to look at each other secretly.

"I would like to recommend..."

"I recommend..."

Soon, almost all other cabinet ministers had recommended their own candidates.

After listening to the candidates recommended by other cabinet ministers, Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes in his heart.

These candidates are even more rubbish.

It is better to choose from those recommended by Li Shanchang and Ouyang Lun.

Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng?

Shen San, Zhou Bao?
"Emperor, what do you think about this matter?" Zhu Yuanzhang did not make a decision immediately, but asked Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao thought silently for a moment before speaking, "Father, I think that the Securities Regulatory Bureau and the Central Bank are both first-time construction projects. The most important task is to complete their tasks and get things done well. As for the identity of the candidate... it doesn't seem to be important."

"Originally our family was just one of the rebels."

After listening to Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and began to think.

Finally, under the nervous gaze of Li Shanchang and others, he spoke again.

"Ouyang Lun, Shen Shan and Zhou Bao, are you willing to contribute to the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, I am not sure about this subject. I need to ask them later."

Ouyang Lun spoke slowly.

amount……

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of black lines, and he said unhappily: "They are your servants, and you recommended them. Don't you know whether they are willing to come?"

I finally made the decision, and now you, Ouyang Lun, are doing this to me?
Fortunately, it was not confirmed directly. If it was confirmed, but the person did not come, how could Zhu Yuanzhang save his face? !

"Your Majesty, my family is different from other families. Even if they are my servants, I will respect their choices. If they are unwilling to do so, I will not force them!" Ouyang Lun spoke slowly.

"Since you are not sure, why do you recommend it!" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, you are wrongly accusing me. You only asked about the candidate and didn't ask this!" Ouyang Lun spread his hands.

“……” Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.

Seeing Ouyang Lun talking nonsense in a serious and somewhat frivolous manner, Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously touched his waist, only to find that he was only left with a pair of shorts because of the massage.

Sometimes I really want to chop this guy to pieces with a knife!
"Brother-in-law Ouyang, this matter concerns the country and the people of the Ming Dynasty. You have to persuade Shen San and Zhou Bao as much as possible!" After Zhu Biao said this, he gave Ouyang Lun a pleading look.

Check it out.

This is Zhu Biao's attitude when asking others to do something for you.

Ouyang Lun nodded immediately, "Replying to the Emperor, Your Majesty, regarding Zhou Bao and Shen Shan, I will go and talk to them. Zhou Bao is not a big problem. This guy dreams of becoming an official. As for Shen Shan... he has long seen through the business world and officialdom, so it will be difficult to persuade him to leave."

"But I believe he is still very interested in controlling the central bank and establishing a complete monetary and financial system for Ming Dynasty. He is very likely to agree."

After hearing what Ouyang Lun said, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao both breathed a sigh of relief.

The other cabinet ministers were extremely envious and jealous, especially Li Shanchang, who sat blankly on a small bench with a look of frustration on his face.

He thought he would lose, but he never expected that his favorite student would actually lose to Ouyang Lun's accountant and housekeeper!
This is more painful than having his heart ripped out.

Although he was unwilling in his heart, Li Shanchang had no other choice.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao would rather use Ouyang Lun's accountant than Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, so it was useless for him to say anything.

"In that case, let Zhou Bao and Shen San be the heads of the Securities Regulatory Bureau and the Central Bank respectively. In addition..." Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Li Shanchang and other cabinet ministers, "In addition to the principal positions, these two offices will also have some deputy positions, Li Shanchang!"

"I'm here, your old minister!" Li Shanchang, who was in a trance, was startled when Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly called his name.

"Qi Tai has done a good job on the Beijing-Pingcheng Railway, so let's wait for him to finish this job. As for Huang Zicheng... let him be the deputy of the Securities and Exchange Commission, assisting... that guy?" Zhu Yuanzhang pondered.

"Zhou Bao." Zhu Biao reminded.

"Yes, that is to assist Zhou Bao in managing the Securities Regulatory Bureau!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Shanchang with his eyes, "What do you think?"

Ah!
Li Shanchang never expected that Zhu Yuanzhang would appoint Huang Zicheng as the deputy of the Securities and Exchange Commission!

But I immediately understood Zhu Yuanzhang’s profound meaning. This is Zhu Yuanzhang’s balancing act!

Letting Ouyang Lun's accountant be the head of the Central Bank and the Securities Regulatory Bureau would be equivalent to giving these two offices to Ouyang Lun for free.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang trusted Ouyang Lun, he still had to be on guard! (End of this chapter)
