The twentieth day of October is the day when the court pushes the governor of the sky.

Tingtui began in the Chenghua period, and has become a very grand political activity, known as the Huitui ceremony.

Whenever there is a vacancy in the minister, the Ministry of Officials will send a letter to the members of each ministry a few days in advance, informing you of the senior officials who are eligible to participate in the court promotion.

In order to make the Tingtui officials think carefully and vote for honor, the resumes of the alternate officials will also be given in the unveiling post...... Confidential, of course.

After the court retreated early that day, the officials who participated in the court push went to the East Gate to participate in the ceremony.

The east gate is outside the noon gate, the door to the east, there are three complete court rooms, where the Jiuqing meeting, the officials of the court push are gathered at this door.

Why are you here? Because the gate is the order of the Son of Heaven, the reason for rewards and punishments.

Wait until there are twenty-two seniors of the third rank or above, and stand facing each other in the east and west as usual in the room. Yang Bo, the secretary of the Ministry who presided over the court push, once again explained to the ministers the task of today's court push:

"You have all seen the unveiling of the headquarters, the right deputy capital Yushi, the prime minister, the grain reserves, the military affairs and the governor of Yingtian Shifu Lin Run, unfortunately suffered a serious fire injury and can not continue to be competent for his duties. Today, the headquarters invites all colleagues to jointly nominate a person who is worthy of the heavy responsibility and recommend His Majesty to be promoted. ”

"Whoa." The great officers answered and sat down in the chairs that had been set up.

Civil officials pay the most attention to the sense of ceremony, and they divide the court push into two types: sitting and standing.

When encountering the promotion of cabinet ministers, tsukasas, big Simas, and governors, they will be promoted; All the secretaries, chiefs, and governors will sit and push.

In short, when the scholars are promoted, the second secretary of the military department, and the governor, the officers all stand and are elected as a sign of respect.

When the rest of the seven secretaries, squires, and governors are promoted, there is no need for everyone to stand, just sit and talk.

~~

After the official start of the court push, according to the usual selection of the Ministry of Officials, the ministers will introduce the basic information of the candidates, the resumes of the officials, the results of previous inspections, and so on.

However, everyone already understands these situations, so this step is just a formality. Then, after everyone has fully expressed their opinions, the secret ballot will begin.

But today, this step went wrong, and Lu Guangzu, the middle of the Wenxuan Shilang, came out of the class and said in a deep voice to the ministers: "Enlighten your lords, there is a temporary change in the selection of Tingtui, and I hereby inform you." ”

"What's going on?" Zuo Du Yushi Wang Ting and others asked in a deep voice.

"Wu Zhongcheng, the imperial historian of Caojiang, Zou Zhongcheng, the imperial historian of the salt capital, Cao Zhongcheng, the governor of Yunyang, and Jiang Xijiu, the governor of Nanjing, sent urgent letters, requesting that their names be removed from the list of candidates for different reasons." I heard Lu Guangzu answer.

As soon as these words came out, there was a buzz in the room.

That Xu Wu not only went to Wang Bengu's house, but almost all the ministers present received generous gifts from the Xu family, so they naturally knew that these four were the candidates that Xu Ge Lao liked.

Who would have thought that these four would become deserters together! No one is willing to fight for Xu Ge Lao!

"It seems that the situation in Jiangnan is even more serious than imagined......" The officers whispered and exchanged views with each other.

"Yes, these people are all the choice of the moment, Wu and Zou are even more strict warriors, what kind of situation can make them retreat together."

Everyone looked at Wang Bengu one after another, wanting to see what the expression of this Xu Party cadre was.

Wang Bengu's face was dark.

As a rule, the list of recommendations was drafted by him, the left servant of the ministry, and then asked for the approval of the Heavenly Official.

The bigwigs present naturally knew the delicate relationship between Yang Bo and Xu Gelao. Then it was easy to think that Xu Jie, through him, the young mound, put these four people on the list.

Who knew that the four of them didn't appreciate it, and they launched it one after another at the moment before the court push, isn't this a cheat? !

Wang Ben had a feeling that he had been a monkey, but he couldn't have a seizure for a while, so he could only sit there and sulk.

~~

"I wonder what Otsuka Zai wants?" At this time, I heard Mao Butang ask Yang Bodao: "Do you agree with the withdrawal of the four of them?" ”

"Of course, if you press the bull's head and don't drink water." Yang Bo's face was not good-looking, and he snorted coldly: "I don't even have the courage to face challenges and defend the imperial court, so what's the use of selecting such an official?" ”

"......" The ministers couldn't refute this, and Huo Butang asked again: "Is that one of the remaining three, or will it be pushed when the officials make up for it?" ”

"I don't need to say more, you also know how urgent the situation in Jiangnan is, and we don't have time to waste." Yang Bo said categorically: "But the candidate can add another one, and there is no need to push it in a few days, because everyone is familiar with that person." ”

When the adults heard this, they smiled clearly, and they obviously knew who it was when they heard it.

Wang Bengu's face was even more ugly, because it meant that the Lord of the Ministry was dissatisfied with him and distrusted......

Yang Bo ignored him, and smiled faintly at everyone: "It seems that you have all guessed who he is?" ”

"Eighty percent is Haigang Peak who has been escorted seven times, right?" All the adults laughed.

"Not bad." Yang Bo smiled and nodded.

"I look at the current situation in Jiangnan, it must be Hai Rui!" The adults immediately enthusiastically agreed.

"Yes, in troubled times, use heavy codes to slay demons and slay out divine swords!"

"I think that only Haigang Peak can deter Xiaoxiao and restore the authority of the imperial court!"

All of you are well aware of the heavy burden on the shoulders of the new Governor of the Heavens.

It is impossible for the court officials not to be outraged that someone dared to assassinate a governor at the risk of rebuke.

It's just that when officials reach their level, they must always focus on the overall situation, so they can't easily express their position.

Of course, this overall situation may or may not belong to the imperial court.

So when they make it clear, it basically means that the big picture is decided.

~~

After a while, Lu Guangzu sent the blank question book down, and asked all the adults to write their favorite two members of the main companion on it.

When everyone had finished writing, he sang the vote on the spot.

Not surprisingly, almost everyone chose Hai Jui.

In the end, Hai Jui won 21 of the 22 main selections......

Of course, it can't be said that Zhao Hao can directly or indirectly affect twenty-one members. Because many people saw that the situation was clear, they were unwilling to expose their choices meaninglessly, so they made a favor and listed Hai Rui as the right choice.

When the court push is over, Yang Bo directly writes the chapter in the court room, reports the results, and asks the emperor to draw it down as appropriate.

In the afternoon, the recitals of the Ministry of Ministers were sent to the Cabinet through the Secretary of General Affairs.

The three university scholars who had already known the results in advance immediately voted for the performance and ordered someone to submit it to the celebrant for approval.

Li Chunfang was very satisfied with this. He took it for granted that this was the result of his own greetings.

When Zhang Juzheng went back to his duty room, Lord Shoufu smiled at Chen Yiqin with a gratifying smile: "It seems that we have no big problems with our own banner." ”

"Well, almost." Chen Yiqin felt a little incredible, but it was already an established policy to cut with Xu Ge, so there was not much nonsense.

But Zhang Xianggong was a little worried, he imagined all kinds of possibilities, but he didn't expect to launch Hai Rui as a candidate.

The comeback of the high-phase curve is afraid that it will increase the variables.

It's just that the scholar has never participated in the court push, and he is powerless about this result......

P.S. Sorry, my eyes are very uncomfortable today, and it really affects the state, so I will send two chapters first.
