Chapter 119: Waiting and Numinating (Above)

With Emperor Tun’s royal presence and Crown Prince Zhao Zhuan’s supervision of the country, the government of Liyang has not been in turmoil. On the contrary, under the control of Crown Prince Zhao Zhuan and the support of a group of ministers and officials from the Spring of Yonghui, including Minister of Crown Prince Yin Maochun, the government of Liyang is even more vibrant than before, with Zhao Zhuan displaying the same diligence as the current Emperor of the People’s Republic of China, never missing a court meeting, making approvals overnight, and summoning his ministers frequently. The Prince’s spirit of a wise ruler who lives up to his reputation has invariably lightened the haze that hung over Tai’an at the end of the first year of the Xiangfu reign.

Under the auspices of Zhao Zhuan, the center of the dynasty launched a series of dazzling and far-reaching power changes, Qiyanglong’s popularity into the original chief official position has always been vacant in the Ministry of the Central Committee, and in one fell swoop to become a rare prime minister in the history of Liyang, and the leader of the Ministry of the Shangshu Province, Zhang Julu, the people of the capital is known as the “Prime Minister,” the adults; has been in the capital, and has been promoted to the Ministry of the Household, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of the Treasury. Wang Xionggui, who had been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was transferred to Guangling Road as a strategic envoy; at the same time, Zhao Youling, who was also born during the Yonghui years, resigned as Minister of the Ministry of Appointments, and his rank was promoted by half a grade to assist Qi Yanglong, who was already a senior minister; Yin Maochun, who had always been hailed as a prime minister but whose rank was only three grades in the imperial court, finally took a big step forward by not only being appointed the second highest of the six Liyang The second ranked university scholar in the Hall of Peace, but also take over the Ministry of the Ministry of Justice, with the Beijing inspection and the local evaluation as a cushion, the court of Liyang on the mobilization of this not surprising. Secretary of the Ministry of Rites Bai Guo filled the vacancy after the departure of Wang Xionggui, from the Ministry of Rites into the Ministry of Households, although the same rank, but one is the Ministry of Rites of the clear water Yamen, one is in charge of the world’s land and taxes of the Ministry of Households, discerning people can see that the Bai Guo also stepped on a new stage, and did not fall behind the two Zhao Yuiling Yin Maochun too much. As for and science master Yao Baifeng state contradictions openly right priest of the State Sonship Jin Lanting, become Liyang dynasty nearly five years in the fastest promotion speed of the lucky child, in the original Ministry of Rites left ministers step by step to promote Shangshu, these years in the city of Tai’an on the cusp of the wind and waves of the Jin Sanlang once again give everyone a big surprise, promoted from the second grade of the Ministry of Rites left ministers, this should be in the rationale in the Ministry of Rites in charge of the left priest of the Ministry of Rites Yao Baifeng into that Unexpected. The use of military tactlessness led to the counterinsurgency industry stumbled forward marshal Lu Shengxiang, surprisingly not depreciate but rise, although resigned from the Ministry of the Ministry of War second-in-command of the left chamberlain official position, but gained a solid second-ranking Hussar General, while previously regarded as expected to lead the troops south of the expedition of Longchamp General Xu Gong, but failed to replace the recognized bumbling Lu Shengxiang, the Gumou Xu’s top pillar, but was Instead of replacing Lu Shengxiang, the pillar of the Xu family in Gumiao, Xu Gong was “hidden” as the left minister of the Ministry of War, and after serving in the Ministry of War, it is said that he will soon be “kicked out” of the city of Tai’an and go to the northern border patrols.

It is hard to imagine, such a magnificent wind and clouds, from beginning to end with the purple beard and blue eyes have nothing to do.

Last year, Zhao Youling and Yin Maochun submitted to His Majesty the promotion and reprimand of more than 1,800 officials in the capital, and this year is the year of the external inspection that is, the local evaluation, Yin Maochun returned to the capital some time ago, and soon ran into the son of God patrolling the borders, and so under the authorization of a decree of the Holy Spirit from the western part of Liaoning Province into the capital, the details of the local evaluation were sent to His Highness the Crown Prince’s hands, and Zhao Zhanzhuan was authorized to be fully responsible for this matter. Today, after the morning court, His Highness the Crown Prince asked the Minister of Ceremonial Supervision, Song Tanglu, to send a message to all of the court academicians, the two provinces under the Zhongshu Gate, the six ministries of the Shangshu ministers, as well as some of the several Zhao family members, to participate in this impromptu afternoon court, which was a common occurrence in the court of Liyang.

The chief minister Zhang Julu was invited but did not attend.

Warm as spring in the room, not many new faces, but many old faces have changed into a brand new official robes and uniforms, not the new year has been a new atmosphere. Former Minister Zhao right age has been from a handful of first-grade officers, today sitting next to Qi Yanglong, the Secretary of Qi Yanglong, intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the same Zhang Lu origin of Yin Maochun, head down leisurely drinking tea, the corner of the mouth quietly curved up. Someone was shouted for ten years of the storage of the prime minister, to this day, but as a foreign court minister, is nothing more than to eat their own leftovers, almost dust settled, is still not able to lose a “storage” word? When will you be able to serve as a real “phase”? Yong Hui spring, recognized that the white Guo talent is the most abundant, but regard you Yin Maochun most zaiwu ware frame, but I Zhao right Ling is now a step ahead of ah. You Yin Mao Chun on the so-called University of the Hall of Peace, but His Majesty the Emperor charity to you as a compensation for the failure of the Shangshu Ling.

In fact, in the first half of the month, Zhao right Ling also has some hidden worries, he is not afraid of hibernation for many years Yin Maochun in this promotion feast, afraid of Yin Maochun continue to be suppressed in that acres and thirds of the Hanlin Academy, because it means that when someone completely fell, then Yin Maochun will be destined to become the biggest profit. Now the court will be the minister of the Ministry of Justice to give, the temple cabinet university scholar also gave, then familiar with the mind of the son of heaven Zhao right Ling can rest assured.

Slightly moistened his throat, relaxed Zhao Youling fingers twisted the lid of the cup, with the corner of the eye of the remaining light carelessly surveyed the new Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Bai Guo, he has never regarded this indisputable guy as a foe. Don’t look at the white Guo in the court has a reputation for good reviews, but once climbed to their height, only focus on four words, Jane in the heart of the emperor. As expected, Bai Guo failed to enter the Tantan Weng’s door province, and also failed to get the six ministries of the first Shangshu, which was expected to ask for the throne before. In the end, within the house, the most disillusioned person is Yin Maochun, and the second most disillusioned person is our new Minister of the Household. However, in Zhao Yuiling’s opinion, there is no foundation of the white Guo can get his hands on a Minister of the Household, should also be satisfied.

Zhao Youling raised his eyes, the line of sight, just to see that the young bearded Jin Sanlang also gently look over, Zhao Youling expressionless, many times the carp jumped the Dragon Gate of the new Ministry of Rites, Jin Lanting rushed to smile and pay homage to Zhao Youling did not pay attention to, turn around and put down the cup of tea, more than a sneer in his heart, a special rely on the crooked and evil ways barely among the dynasty’s center of gravity of the “Lucky Boy! A “lucky boy” who barely made it to the center of the dynasty by taking the wrong path, really think that he can flourish forever? The temple, not afraid of the gentleman’s fight, not even afraid of cronyism, but the most taboo is because of personal grudges all around the enemy, originating in Beiliang place on a small clan, in just a few years, on the annoyance of Huan Wen and Yao Baifeng, even if you rely on the power of the fluke down someone, after the fact is not you a Jin Lanting can end up?

In addition to Jin Lanting is the first time to formally participate in this highest specification of the noon court, there is another than Jin Lanting more than Jin Lanting let the city of Tai’an unfamiliar officials, that is the Jiangnan Road, the luxury valves Gumiao’s Xu Gong. As the Minister of War, this Longchamp general who still had a reputation as a famous general even though he had missed out on the Spring and Autumn wars, he was sitting on the side of his top boss, Lu Baijie, with his eyes on the nose and nose on the heart, and his expression resolute and stereotypical. Compared to the clear and elegant demeanor of Tongxi Sword Immortal Lu Shangshu, Xu Gong was more like a military general of the sands in the orthodox sense of the word, with a stout physique and a rough appearance. His rise to power this time is the most confusing one among those who have had their positions changed, according to the theory that Xu Gong has no great side achievements, nor is he a direct line of Gu Jiantang, and there is no big tree that he can rely on in the dynasty, so he shouldn’t have been included in the capital’s hall of justice, but this time, he first appeared out of nowhere, and then he was quickly rejected out of the capital, which made Xu Gong even more of a big joke in the sky.

The court meeting went on until dusk before coming to an end, and the Minister of Public Works and the Minister of Justice, who were already in their sixties, were especially hard-pressed to hide their fatigue.

Crown Prince Zhao Zhuan instructed the Minister of Ceremonies, Byung-ben, to go and have the Imperial Catering Room send some food, during which time all the courtiers could take time to rest or step out of the room to get some fresh air.

Huan Wen was an important minister with sufficient seniority, official reputation, and achievements, so naturally he would not be as formal as some of the ministers of the six ministries, and took the lead in leaving the house.

Prince Zhao Zhuan quickly followed suit and quickly stepped out, calling out to Tantan Weng with a smile, and then walked in company.

This scene fell in the eyes of those who had the heart to see it, and it could not be described as anything less than evocative.

Jin Lanting always sat on the seat did not move his butt, also did not take the initiative to talk to a certain senior in the room polite pleasantries, appearing extraordinarily single.

Outside the house in the corridor, Huan Wen smiled and asked, “I don’t know what your highness has to do?”

No one around, the crown prince blinked, secretly made a gesture to raise a cup of wine.

Huan Wen was also not polite, and smiled heatedly, “This dares to be good.”

The two of them walked to the far side room, followed only by Song Tanglu, the seal-keeping eunuch of the Palace of Justice.

The Crown Prince hesitated for a moment and said, “The position of Right Sacrificer of the State Scholarship is temporarily vacant, and Yao Da Zu has not recommended anyone to take it up, does Tantan Weng have any suggestions?”

Huan Wen froze for a moment.

Prince Zhao Zhuan smiled and did not say anything.

Huan Wen also smiled, and without any ambiguity, said bluntly, “There is no candidate for the right priest of the State Scholarship, the old minister’s side of the Gate Province lacks a satisfactory auxiliary official, and coincidentally, I’m taking this opportunity to ask Your Highness for someone.”

Zhao Zhuan frowned and asked softly, “Could it be?”

Although His Highness the Crown Prince did not name him, Tantan Weng had nodded his head.

Both parties knew it by heart.

It was Chen Shao Bao Chen Wang of the Diligent Room.

Cold scholarly origin, jinshi and first grade, did not rank among the three in the first grade, but was just enough to enter the Hanlin Academy to become a noble Huangmen Lang.

Then served as the son of heaven close service of the living room, and later became a short-lived East Palace lecture and the examination of the Department of Langzhong, noble to noble, but the official position are not high.

The title of “Shao Bao” can only be regarded as a gift from the family of the Son of Heaven.

But if Chen Wang can go to the door of the province to become Huan Wen’s right-hand man, then there is not a high position of the third grade would not be justified.

Even from the second grade is not impossible.

In this way, the hot Jin Lanting in Tai’an City at the moment will also lose a lot of color compared to it.

Huan Wen suddenly tapped his head and said, “The candidate for the right priest of the State Scholarship Academy, the old minister has thought of a very unsuitable candidate.”

His Highness the Crown Prince couldn’t help but say somewhat helplessly, “Tan Tan Weng, you this argument ……”

Huan Wen laughed and stopped talking.

But once again, both sides know by heart, two official positions, so before even drinking wine has been finalized.

One is Chen Wang, to go to the province under the door.

One is Sun Yin, to go to the Imperial College.

Both seem to be from Northern Liang.
