The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 438
Not long after Xie Shen returned to Beijing, he devoted himself to the busy government affairs.

When it comes to the drudgery in this world, the cabinet on duty can definitely be ranked among the top three.

The emperor Laozi had no interest in political affairs, so mountains of memorials were piled up in the cabinet.

In the cabinet, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian are big bosses, so naturally they can't be too tired. Xie Shen should take more responsibilities as a matter of course.

Everyone has a temper. Xie Shen was naturally displeased when he saw that many memorials criticized the New Deal.

These officials and gentry are really selfish to a certain extent, and they can say things that don't make sense.

What disappointed Xie Shen even more was that Xie Qian seemed to have a very ambiguous attitude on this matter.

The only person who really supports him is Li Dongyang.

Of course, as long as Xie Qian can remain neutral, he will be satisfied if he doesn't openly jump out and contradict Xie Shen.

The most urgent task at the moment is to win the magistrate of Huating County for Wang Shouren.

However, this is not an easy task.

If it were an ordinary county magistrate, with Xie Shen's status as a cabinet scholar, it would be very easy for one person to take the post.What's more, Wang Shouren's own qualifications are not bad, and he has a good reputation in the circle of officials and gentry, which is a matter of course.

But Huating County is where the New Deal is piloted, and countless eyes are staring at it, and countless people are thinking about it. It will not be easy to recommend Wang Shouren.

Under the sign of the emperor, the big and small Jiuqing, and the three cabinet scholars made a court recommendation, and the new magistrate of Huating County was elected.

For the sake of a seventh-rank county magistrate to bother the big and small nine ministers, the cabinet scholars were recommended for discussion. This is probably unique in the history of Ming Dynasty.

As the chief assistant, Li Dongyang naturally presided over the court push.

Everyone understands the importance of this election, so there is no need to say more.

Li Shoufu directly asked all the officials to write the candidates on the bamboo sticks, and then delivered them to the plan of the house value, and the clerks made the statistics.

In Tingtui, all people are equal.Even the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has only one vote.

Xie Shen put in all his effort for this court push, and lobbied several people in advance, but he didn't know if these people would change their minds temporarily.

In Xie Shen's view, the short time for a cup of tea is as hard as a long night.

Xie Shen held his breath when everyone wrote their names and delivered the bamboo sticks to the plan.

Xie Shen simply chose to chat with Li Dongyang during the process of counting and counting the candidates.He didn't look seriously at the plan until the scribe had counted all the lots.

"The one with the most counts is Wang Shouren, the head of the Military Affairs Department."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Shen finally let out a sigh of relief.

The strategy he adopted was to win over the little Jiuqing, because compared with the officials of the Six Departments, the Tongzhengshi, the Du Yushi, and the Dali Temple Minister, the Dajiuqing, these officials' status is quite different from Xie Shen, and it is easier to know them. reason.

The most important thing is that Xiao Jiuqing and the various ministers, the imperial censor, the minister of Dali Temple, and the general envoy all have only one vote in power.Lobbying Xiao Jiuqing is obviously more cost-effective.

For Wang Shouren, this release is by no means a bad thing.

Although he is now known as the head of the Ministry of War and a sixth-rank official, in fact he has no real power because he is not liked by the emperor.

Wang Shouren was also stubborn, so he simply said that he was ill and would not go to the Ministry of War to work.

Such a sixth-rank official in the capital is really shameless, he might as well be sent to Huating County to contribute to Xie Shen's new policy.

If Wang Shouren can make political achievements as the magistrate of Huating County, it will definitely change the emperor's impression of him, and perhaps Wang Shouren's entire career will change as a result.

There is no way, in the Ming Dynasty, if Jane is not in the heart of the emperor, it is impossible to have a prosperous official career.At this point, Wang Shouren has a congenital defect.

At this time, he was "sent" to Huating County as the county magistrate, perhaps to save his official career.

If the court nominates the six ministers, ministers, or high-ranking officials such as the Imperial Envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Tongzheng Envoy, and the Tongzheng Envoy, everyone will definitely have to fight over the result.

But what the court recommended today is only a mere seventh-rank county magistrate.Those present were all important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and they were all dignified figures, and they still couldn't hold back their faces.

The whole process of the court push was recorded by scribes and officials, and after the results were written down, they were delivered to the Leopard Room as soon as possible, and submitted to the emperor for review.

As long as the emperor agrees to the result of the court push, there will be legal benefits, and the new Huating county magistrate can take office immediately.

Xie Shen wasn't worried about Emperor Zhengde at all.

The emperor already hated Wang Shouren, and Wang Shouren was almost demoted from Beijing when Liu Jin took power.

In the end, although thanks to Xie Shen's efforts, he was allowed to stay in Beijing, but he did not have any real power.

Now that he has the opportunity to send Wang Shouren out of Beijing, out of sight and out of mind, Emperor Zhengde is naturally willing to see it.

As for the game and powerful relationship behind it, this emperor would not consider it.

No way, who let Xie Shen catch up with such a willful and absurd emperor.

After the court push was over, Jiuqing, big and small, dispersed one after another.

Li Dongyang nodded in relief and said, "I am relieved to have Master Wang going to Songjiang."

Xie Shen cupped his hands gratefully at Li Dongyang and said, "Without the help of Lord Xi Ya, I'm afraid it would be very difficult for Brother Shouren to win."

There were only five officials he lobbied for, but in the end seven votes were cast for Wang Shouren, and the extra two votes must have been helped by someone.

Xie Shen only told Li Dongyang and Xie Qian about his plan to recommend Wang Shouren.

Xie Qian's attitude on this matter is ambiguous. Although it is not possible to contradict Xie Shen, it seems unrealistic to expect him to help.Therefore, Xie Shen can be sure that it must be Li Dongyang, the chief assistant, who secretly helped.

Li Dongyang stroked his beard and said: "There are some things that the old man dare not do, but you dare to do Siming. If the old man refuses to put in some effort, what face does he have to claim himself in this cabinet."

"Xi Ya's public words are serious. If my brother Shou's trip to Songjiang goes well this time, then my Ming Dynasty will have reached the time of Zhongxing."

Xie Shen is looking forward to the New Deal.

He couldn't wait to see what Wang Shouren could change in terms of land and business tax in Huating county.

Li Dongyang slightly lowered his head and said: "I hope so. Sometimes the old man also wonders why the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was wise and the officials were clear, but the treasury was not abundant. The old man was puzzled until he read the memorial on Siming, It's a sudden realization."

Xie Shen's cheeks flushed instantly.

"Mr. Xi Ya, I also want to do some practical things for Daming and His Majesty. I don't deserve such a compliment from Mr. Xi Ya."

Li Dongyang shook his head and said, "Da Ming needs people like Siming. If they all make up for it like this old man, then they are just drinking poison to quench their thirst."

After a short pause, he continued: "But Siming, you must also remember that the helm of Daming's ship is always His Majesty, and only his old man decides the direction. On this point, don't be confused."
