Chapter 202 A World Where Only Xu Ge Lao Was Injured (Subscription Request)

This involves the Minister of Personnel, a position known as the Heavenly Official.

Even the six ministers present at the scene perked up their spirits.

Can't say.

Did the bigwigs in the cabinet put their names on it?

Yan Song also tremblingly took out a memorial from his sleeve.

Yan Shaoting took the memorial and stepped forward.

Lu Fang had also come over and took away the memorial with the candidates for the Minister of Personnel.

Old Yantou then spoke: "The Li Cao was first established in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was renamed the Ministry of Personnel after the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It was not until the Sui and Tang Dynasties that there were three provinces and six ministries, and under the emperor, they jointly controlled the world.

"The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the appointment and dismissal, examination, promotion, demotion, honors, and transfers of civil servants throughout the country. It uses the three selections to select talents from all over the country, comparing their personal qualities, speech, writing, judgment, moral conduct, talent, and labor efficiency, and decides whether to keep or release them.

Therefore, the Minister of Personnel was also known as the Minister of Heaven, the Minister of Literature, and the Minister of Personnel. "

In the Wanshou Palace.

Only the Cabinet Chief Minister Yan Song spoke in detail about the powers of the Ministry of Personnel and its Minister.

Xu Jie and others frowned slightly.

They have all been officials in the court for many years, so they all know about this matter.

But Yan Song smiled and said, "The Ministry of Personnel is the most important among all officials in the court, and the Minister of Personnel is the most important. The officials we select should be selected with great care.

The cabinet has decided to nominate three candidates, namely, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Guo Pu, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Li Chunfang, and the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate Ouyang Bijin.

This statement came out.

Everyone has different expressions.

Countless speculations suddenly arose.

Guo Pu and Li Chunfang were both left and right vice ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, so it was natural to recommend them.

But there happened to be another person, Ouyang Bijin, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate.

This seems a bit redundant.

But if this was the candidate for the Minister of Personnel that the Prime Minister intended to recommend, he should have been mentioned first, not last among the three.

Everyone was at a loss for words and could only look at Ouyang Bijin, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, trying to see the reaction on his face and guess the meaning behind this nomination.

But Ouyang Bijin seemed calm and composed.

It seems that he knows that he will be nominated, or he is not optimistic about himself.

He was just so calm anyway.

It's hard to guess.

Xu Jie was naturally a little surprised.

The candidate he recommended for the Minister of Personnel was naturally Li Chunfang, the Right Vice Minister of Personnel.

Guo Pu was nominated purely because he needed many people to submit the nomination to the emperor for his decision.

But Ouyang Bi Jin was something he had not expected.

Did Yan Song really want to push Ouyang Bijin from the Censorate to the Ministry of Personnel?
Jiajing also frowned slightly.

At the beginning of the year, the imperial court had a proposal to select the Minister of Personnel.

At that time, Yan Song seemed to want to recommend Ouyang Bijin.

But I don't like this person.

He originally thought that Yan Song already understood his intentions.

But today, Ouyang Bijin was put on the list of nominees again.

Jiajing said in a deep voice: "The appointment and dismissal of state officials are all set by law. Today the cabinet has nominated three people. What do you think?"

The emperor asked.

There was silence among the people present.

Everyone was calculating their own little plans.

After a while.

It was the Minister of Rites Yan Ne who stood up again.

"I think that Li Chunfang, the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, can take on the important task of the Ministry of Personnel."

Yang Bo followed closely behind him: "Your Majesty, Li Chunfang was the top scholar in the 26th year of Jiajing. He was initially appointed as a compiler in the Hanlin Academy, and was selected by Your Majesty to enter the Western Garden. He was promoted to Hanlin Bachelor, and then promoted to Junior Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites. In the 39th year of Jiajing, he was transferred to the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

"He was respectful and cautious. When he was an official in the court, he never acted arrogantly with his colleagues. He was a great ruler, a good collaborator, and a good official.

"Minister Li is sincere and dedicated, has profound knowledge and great talent, is well-mannered, stands tall and straight, has a warm and gentle temperament, and is not fickle when interacting with others. As time goes by, people become closer and closer. He is not arrogant and seeks to be different from others, but there is something in him that cannot be mixed with others.

I think it can be handled by the Ministry of Personnel."

But Yan Ne’s seconding motion was different.

Yang Bo praised Li Chunfang in every aspect.

Even Li Chunfang's appearance was described as "very graceful and elegant, and graceful and elegant."

Anyway, just focus on one in front of the emperor.

Li Chunfang is the best candidate for the Minister of Personnel.

You can't afford to suffer a loss or be cheated.

Just use him!
It seemed that Li Chunfang was about to become the only candidate in the Ming Dynasty who could serve as the Minister of Personnel.

Yuan Wei, who never shows up in public, slowly stood out.

Yuan Wei's actions immediately attracted everyone's attention and a lot of confusion.

Mr. Yuan never cares about these things on weekdays.

Are you going to interfere today?
Xu Jie was even more surprised, as if he had just met Yuan Wei, his eyes full of surprise.

He thought that the Yan family would most likely take action on the issue of the selection of the Minister of Personnel this time.

He even thought that Gao Gong might intervene.

But he never thought that Yuan Wei would take action in this matter.

Even though everyone is puzzled.

But Yuan Wei finally stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think Guo Pu, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, is more suitable."

This statement came out.

Yan Ne and Yang Bo looked over immediately.

What Lord Yuan said was undoubtedly a refutation of them.

Yuan Wei continued, "First, the court's official system has always been based on the left being the most respected. When there was no Shangshu, the left assistant minister took charge of the Ministry of Personnel. How could there be a recommendation for the right assistant minister now, instead of promoting the left assistant minister?"

These words came out of Yuan Wei's mouth and sounded very calm.

It seems that this Lord Yuan of our Ming Dynasty is talking to everyone reasonably.

Yuan Wei also continued, "Secondly, Minister Yan and Minister Yang both said that Li Chunfang was the top scorer in the imperial examination in the 22nd year of Jiajing. But Guo Pu was a Jinshi in the two lists in the 14th year of Jiajing. When he was selected as a scholar, he was selected as a scholar in the imperial court. He has been an official in the court for 26 years."

After saying that.

Yuan Wei did not look at Yan Ne and Yang Bo, whose expressions kept changing, but looked at Xu Jie, who had never spoken.

At the same time, Yuan Wei also glanced at the silent grandfather and grandson of the Yan family.

On the night of the Changping debate, he waited outside Gao's house all night, wanting to use the next year's spring imperial examination to protect Yan Shaoting from possible danger in exchange for the Yan family's support for Guo Pu's promotion to Minister of Personnel.

this matter.

The Yan family replied the next day.

The Yan family did not need his help, but they would still recommend Guo Pu to be promoted to the Minister of Personnel during the Holy Court meeting.

I just don’t know how the Yan family will help today.

At this moment.

Xu Jie finally spoke up, "Guo Pu and Li Chunfang both work in the Ministry of Personnel and are familiar with its affairs. Naturally, they can both serve as the Minister of Personnel. Ouyang Du Yushi is in charge of the Metropolitan Censorate and has been in the officialdom for many years. The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the civil servants of the country, and the Metropolitan Censorate supervises the officials of the country. It is appropriate for him to transfer to the Ministry of Personnel."

This seems to mean to treat everyone equally.

But the next moment.

Xu Jie then said: "However, if we really have to choose one among the three, I think Li Chunfang is the most suitable.

"The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the promotion and demotion of civil officials, and Chunfang is respectful and prudent, not using his power to bully others. When he is in the court, he is fair in his opinions and does not act rashly.

"He is also a top scholar, with a long-standing reputation among scholars and a great reputation in the poetry world.

I think it is most appropriate to promote Li Chunfang to the position of Minister of Personnel."

Xu Jie was extremely cautious at this moment.

Not only did he have to suppress Guo Pu, but he also had to block Ouyang Bijin from being a candidate for the Minister of Personnel.

We must also be careful that Yan Song may jump out at this time and recommend Ouyang Bijin instead.

Xu Jie's eyes wandered around the hall.

Suddenly jumped.

really.

Yan Song moved.

Yan Song, who was sitting on the stool, moved a little.

Then he saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the government and the people often judge people by their age and seniority. This is the foundation of our country's rule of filial piety."

Hear this.

Jiajing's brows twitched involuntarily.

Yan Song continued, "This time, the court is discussing the appointment of a minister of the Ministry of Personnel. In addition, the court is undergoing a lot of rectification, increasing revenue and taxes, and filling the deficit. There are frequent promotions and demotions. An official who has been in the Ministry of Personnel for a long time should be selected first."

As soon as these words came out.

Xu Jie's face was suddenly filled with surprise.

According to Yan Song's intention, Ouyang Bijin was directly eliminated from the competition for the Minister of Personnel this time.

He immediately turned to look at Ouyang Bijin, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate who was present.

Ouyang Bijin looked calm and composed.

moment.

Xu Jie panicked.

Yan Song's voice was still reaching his ears.

"Guo Pu entered the court earlier than Li Chunfang and is now the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Therefore, I think Guo Pu seems to be more suitable?"

Xu Jie was already starting to panic, and his mind was a mess.

I have thought of everything.

However, he did not expect that Yan Song would agree to Guo Pu's promotion to the Minister of Personnel.

Then why is Ouyang Bijin on the list?
quickly.

Ouyang Bijin, who was on the list of nominees for Minister of Personnel, stood up.

Under Xu Jie's puzzled gaze.

Ouyang Bijin said, "Your Majesty, although I am on the list of candidates recommended by the cabinet this time, I feel that I lack the ability to serve as the Minister of Personnel."

He declined!

He actually refused to be transferred to the position of Minister of Personnel!

Xu Jie widened his eyes.

Ouyang Bijin changed the subject and said, "But I think that in terms of seniority and age, it is more reasonable that Guo Pu, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, should be promoted to the position of Minister of Personnel to manage the Ministry of Personnel for Your Majesty and weigh the officials of the country."

Listening to the words of Ouyang Bijin, a contestant in the competition for the position of Minister of Personnel.

Xu Jie almost shouted out loud.

It's really unfair!
As a fellow candidate for the post of Minister of Personnel, are you, Ouyang Bijin, crazy?
He actually took the initiative to decline and recommended someone else instead!
At that moment, Xu Jie only felt that he was hit by arrows in the abdomen and back.

And he looked deeply at Yan Song.

Even though he was extremely angry, he understood it.

Today was a game from beginning to end.

The purpose of recommending Ouyang Bijin was to make him voluntarily decline the opportunity to become the Minister of Personnel at the last moment and recommend another person instead.

What does this mean?
This shows that even the contestants agree with Guo Pu.

All the arguments raised by everyone before actually make sense and can be ignored.

But it was Ouyang Bijin's refusal to recommend Guo Pu that became the final decisive move.

It turned out to be just as Xu Jie had guessed.

Behind the beaded curtain.

Jiajing smiled faintly and laughed out loud.

He looked at Ouyang Bijin deeply.

This old fellow Ouyang is not someone I dislike so much.

At least, he is very self-aware.

same.

Although Yan Shaoting did not speak a word throughout the whole process, he glanced at Xu Jie with a dim gaze.

Afterwards, Yan Shaoting looked at Gao Gong and Gao Yao respectively, two people with the same surname but not from the same family.

"Your Majesty, although I am of low rank, I also think that what Lord Yan, Lord Yuan, and Ouyang Du Yushi said is correct. Minister Guo can be the Minister of Personnel."

Followed by.

Regarding the candidate for the post of Minister of Personnel, Gao Gong and Gao Yao, who had never spoken before, spoke up one after another.

"I second the proposal."

"Guo Pu can be the Minister of Personnel."
