Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 145
The second court meeting was still held in Yanfu Hall. Cai Jing's intention was very clear, and the court made great use of Wang Xiu.

For most courtiers, it is not completely unacceptable for Wang Xiu to serve in the Prime Minister's Office of State Affairs.After all, he has the credit for the first singing, so it's really unreasonable not to give some benefits. Let's carry the sedan chair!Besides, there must be someone who knows how to do something new, so don't mess it up and everyone will lose the benefits.

But what Cai Jing meant was to appoint Wang Xiu as deputy envoy, and even try to lead a party, which undoubtedly made everyone murmur, and the benefits seemed to be a bit great.

Wang Xiu is just a Jinshi in the new department, and he doesn't even have an official position. Isn't it nonsense for you to let him control the real power in the yamen all at once?As for the saying that Gan Luo Twelve is the prime minister, the grandpa regards the old as the prime minister of the week, and no one sticks to the saying of condescending talents. As a supervisor, it is enough to enter the yamen of the Prime Minister's Office for International Affairs. Is it necessary to become a full-time official?
Of course, Cai Jing didn’t say it clearly, but Zhao Ji knew what he meant. Wang Fu recommended Cai You, and Cai Jing would of course fight back. He was happy to see the political dispute between Cai Jing and Wang Fu, and even the fight between Cai’s father and son. Yes, his imperial technique is that as long as the imperial power is not endangered, mutual attacks and defenses between ministers can still be tolerated.

However, he felt that this was not Cai Jing's last move. With Cai Jing's old ways, he would never make common sense mistakes. Wang Xiu and Cai You were incomparable. At least he had to recommend a minister to be accepted by everyone.

He looked at the important ministers with a smile on his face, with an expression of encouragement on his face.

Most of the ministers present were inextricably linked to Cai Jing, either overtly or secretly. Be wise and protect yourself.At this moment, he was stunned, silent, and meticulous, as if the weird atmosphere in the hall didn't care about anything else.

Wu Min and Wang Xiaodi obviously lean towards Cai Jing, Zhao Ye is the two sides of the first mouse, Cai Jing and Wang Fu can get along well with him, Li Bangyan secretly competes with Wang Fu, He Su is known as the Su Shi Township Party, and is called by the great eunuch Liang Shicheng Appreciation, is collecting Wang Fu's crimes of treachery, evil and domineering, and is waiting for an opportunity to impeach, everyone is extremely dirty.

Seeing that Zhao Ji was at loggerheads, he had long been concerned. Relatively speaking, in his eyes, Wang Fu and Cai You were close people. No matter how Wang Xiu showed his talent, after all, he was acting like an orthodox scholar, so he couldn't bring it to him. Stimulation of the senses.At the same time, he still admires Wang Fu's way of not forming a party, which is also his own opinion.

"Your Majesty, Wang Xiu is indeed a young man, but it is a pity that his qualifications are too low, and he may not be able to take on important tasks suddenly." Wang Fu's words are high-sounding and very reasonable, but he is a Jinshi, so what qualifications do he have for an important position, let the scholars of the world say.

"The Prime Minister's National Affairs Office was established to control banking, maritime affairs, and administer industry and commerce, and to supervise trade balances. This is a big matter, so you must be careful in employing people!" Zhao Ji said with a smile on his face, as if he hadn't heard Wang Fu's words. Speak the words of gold that make people aftertaste.

Cai Jing immediately sniffed out what Zhao Ji meant. It seemed that Zhao Ji already had a candidate, just as he expected, and the bad thing was that this candidate was his unworthy son.

Wang Fu and other officials also slowly figured out Zhao Ji's thoughts. Since the emperor had already had this meaning, it was the general trend. Now that the emperor had come to a conclusion, the thoughts of the people below came alive.

"Your Majesty is wise, I think that Cai Xueshi is mature and prudent, and he can take on this great responsibility." Wu Min and Cai You have a good relationship, so he can't take care of Cai Jing, and he will talk about it first.

Cai You glanced at Wu Min gratefully. Although Wu Min and Cai Jing were very close, the two of them had an unusual personal relationship. Wu Min's sponsorship at this time can be regarded as the best of friendship.

Zhao Ji's face seemed to be hesitant, and he said slowly: "It may violate the system for the internal ministers to take over the positions of other officials and supervisors."

The Xuanhe Palace University Bachelor is the Palace Bachelor, which belongs to the official sequence of the Chinese and Korean courts. Everyone knows that Zhao Ji is advancing by retreating, and letting the officials take the initiative to second, so as to give him a step down.

"Your Majesty, Bachelor Cai is in charge of the festival, and Prime Minister Quan is appropriate for the affairs of various countries." Wang Fu's face was upright, and he said in a serious tone: "Since ancient times, there have been many examples of internal ministers serving as foreign officials. Your Majesty is the master of ten thousand chariots. He employs people and works with virtue Based on this, Cai Xueshi has the talent to manage the world, and I recommend it for the sake of state affairs, and I hope His Majesty will approve it."

"How can a minister despise a talent." Cai You said modestly, this is the way of a minister, if you don't show your humility, people will say that he is arrogant in private.

Wu Min squinted at Cai Jiang, and said lightly: "Scholars don't need to be humble. Your Majesty is the Holy Lord of all ages. It is not comparable to ordinary people to judge people and things."

Zhao Ji showed a satisfied smile on his face. He was very satisfied with Wu Min's compliment. He said with a twist: "Don't refuse anymore. Later, you will draw up an order for your prime minister to do business in various countries." As he spoke, he glanced at Cai Jing's face, slightly Jia paused and said again: "However, Wang Xiu is also a rare talent. It would be too outrageous to put him in a small local county or serve as an aide in the military state. Let's see what role Wang Xiu can hold?"

Everyone knew that Zhao Ji didn't want to embarrass Cai Jing, and seemed to appreciate Wang Xiu more.That's right, Wang Xiu has the heart to study orthodox works, and he is the fourth in the dragon and yellow armor, and also has a deep rhyme about financial management. It would be strange if the emperor let Wang Xiu not use it.

'It seems that the officials want to arrange Wang Xiu in the office. Cai Jing knew Zhao Ji's intentions, and he neither wanted to give the truth nor give up Wang Xiu. He considered again and again, and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Xiu has the merits of the first song, and has a deep understanding of business. It's better to give it to Cheng Shilang and Tai Fu Bo." , and then serve as a staff member of the Commissioner's Office."

Zhao Ji nodded slowly, Chengshi Lang Jilu was right for Wang Xiu's ranking, Taichang Temple Master Bo was just a false official position, which showed that Wang Xiu was an official of the central financial institution, and the most important thing was that he was a member of the Prime Minister's Office of State Affairs. That's the point.

It can't be too high or too low. The yamen is newly established, and the regulations need to be perfected. It can't do without Wang Xiu.Since Cai Youquan doesn't have to personally intervene in government affairs, he can spare time to play with him. Only when he understands Wang Xiu's handling of various matters in the establishment of the yamen can he rest assured.

Of course, others don't know about Cai Jing's other concerns. He wants to firmly control Wang Xiu, not only to sell well, but also to install his cronies as envoys when compromising with Wang Fu.

"Your Majesty's Holy Judgment." Bai Shizhong said something flattering, but everyone accepted it frankly, and did not ignore Wang Xiu's arrangements.

Wang Fu peeked at Zhao Ji with complicated eyes, and secretly speculated in his heart that Zhao Ji's appointment of Wang Xiu was definitely not to take care of Cai Jing's face.Suddenly, he felt a tinge of remorse. He shouldn't have made things difficult for Wang Xiu when grading the papers.
