"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, whether it is Lord Bao Wenjie Bao, the squire of the Ministry of Rites, or Lord Zhou Chuanye, the political envoy of Shaanxi, although they are all virtuous ministers of the imperial court, they are not the best candidates to take over as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info about the shortcomings of Master Bao, Li Ge also said just now, that is, the qualifications are slightly lacking, and he cannot convince the public. However, Zhou Chuanye Zhou, recommended by Li Gelao, is certainly qualified and capable, but he has only served as the political envoy of Shaanxi for more than half a year, and he has just become familiar with the officialdom of Shaanxi, and is preparing to establish a meritorious career. ”

After coming out of the ranks, Zuo Lanshan raised his voice and said.

Now, Zuo Lanshan has become a cabinet elder, and has just stepped down from the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the weight of his speech is naturally different from the past.

With Zuo Lanshan's statement, all the officials showed a contemplative look, even if some officials were not convinced, they did not dare to oppose it.

On the other side, after Emperor Deqing talked to Zuo Lanshan yesterday, he had a tacit understanding with Zuo Lanshan on this matter, so Emperor Deqing asked, "Oh? Zuo Ge Lao has worked in the Ministry of Industry for many years, has always been a meritorious service, and is most familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, and now that he has entered the cabinet, I am afraid that his vision is more long-term. But I don't know in the heart of Zuo Ge Lao, who is the best candidate to take over as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry? ”

Emperor Deqing's words seemed to be just a few words of praise for Zuo Lanshan, but the choice of this time undoubtedly increased Zuo Lanshan's right to speak in this matter.

Zuo Lanshan naturally will not live up to the kindness of Emperor Deqing.

I saw Zuo Lanshan raise his voice and say: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Chen Dongxiang, the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, is the best candidate to take over the Ministry of Industry." Mr. Chen has been working in the Ministry of Industry over the years, his qualifications and prestige are sufficient, and he is most familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Industry. It is ashamed to say that the minister has to be valued by His Majesty, and thinks that the minister has some merits during the management of the Ministry of Industry over the years, so he let the minister enter the cabinet to assist the government, but His Majesty does not know that many achievements of the Ministry of Industry in recent years are actually derived from the ability and diligence of Lord Chen. ”

In order to build momentum for Chen Dongxiang, Zuo Lanshan did not hesitate to depreciate himself, and even gave Chen Dongxiang a lot of his past achievements, just to block the reasons for the opposition of hundreds of officials.

On the other hand, after hearing Zuo Lanshan's recommendation, Emperor Deqing was also very cooperative, and before the hundred officials raised objections, he preemptively spoke: "Well, Chen Dongxiang...... A good candidate indeed. ”

With Emperor Deqing's statement, Chen Dongxiang's hope of taking over the manual department suddenly increased.

Then, Shen Changmao, the first assistant of the cabinet, thought of the deal he reached with Zuo Lanshan last night, and also came out, and also expressed his attitude of supporting Chen Dongxiang, and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Chen Dongxiang Chen is indeed a rare cadre and capable minister of the imperial court, he has always been shrewd and capable, diligent, and not too old, he should be promoted by the imperial court. Therefore, Lao Chen's thoughts are the same as Zuo Ge Lao, and he also thinks that Chen Dongxiang is the best candidate to take over the manual department. ”

As a result, Chen Dongxiang received the full support of the emperor, the first assistant of the cabinet, and a cabinet elder, and Zhou Shangjing did not make a clear statement, and his succession as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry was almost a certainty.

Even if many officials held opposing opinions in their hearts, they wisely closed their mouths after seeing this situation - since they knew that the matter was irreparable, why should they be the first bird to forcibly oppose the attitude of the emperor, the first assistant, and the elders?

As the officials of the "Zhao Party" came out one after another, they expressed their support for Chen Dongxiang, and they saw that the dust was about to settle on this matter.

After Emperor Deqing saw that the situation was clear, he planned to summon Chen Dongxiang out of the list according to the usual practice, and encouraged Chen Dongxiang a few words, and then issued a formal appointment to let Chen Dongxiang take over the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

However, there are people who do not know how to discern the situation.

For example, Prince Zhu and Yu.

Before Emperor Deqing could speak, the crown prince Zhu Heyu suddenly came out of the ranks and said: "Father, the sons oppose Chen Dongxiang taking over the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry!" ”

Then, without waiting for Emperor Deqing to ask, the crown prince Zhu Heyu has continued to speak: "Father, Chen Dongxiang may have the ability to be true, but his character is really unsightly, these years have been extremely capable of fighting for power, crowding out dissidents, forming gangs, suppressing virtuous people, jealousy and hatred of virtuous ministers, during his tenure as a waiter in the Ministry of Works, there are many rumors of corruption and bribery, and now the Ministry of Industry is a miasma, and it is necessary to have virtuous ministers to rectify it, how can Chen Dongxiang take over the Ministry of Craft?" In this case, wouldn't it be necessary to allow the Ministry of Industry to continue to erode? ”

The words of Prince Zhu and Yu can be described as righteous Ling Ran, and his original intention is all for the Ming Dynasty.

However, just as the crown prince Zhu and Yu were speaking, Emperor Deqing's face gradually became gloomy.

Prior to this, because the crown prince Zhu and Yu helped Emperor Deqing successfully intervene in the cabinet, the relationship between their father and son had gradually eased somewhat, and Emperor Deqing also had some expectations for the crown prince Zhu and Yu again.

But with the statement of the crown prince Zhu and Yu, Emperor Deqing's expectations for him that he had just ignited were shattered again.

I just expressed my attitude, saying that Chen Dongxiang is a good candidate, but as soon as the words fell, you stood up to refute it, and publicly claimed that Chen Dongxiang had formed a party for personal gain, fought for power and profit, and was corrupt and bribed, aren't you slapping me in the face? How can I step down? Didn't you show the officials that I am a dumb ruler with eyes and no beads, and I can't tell the difference between good and evil?

Even if you are really resolutely opposed to Chen Dongxiang taking over as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, can you say some things directly? Can't you look at the occasion and the timing before you speak? Why can't you imply that someone who is "too. "The officials of the sub-party spoke on your behalf?" Why can't you talk to me before you say anything? You can't leave a little room for your opinion?

For a while, Emperor Deqing's confidence in the crown prince Zhu Heyu was shaken again, and he began to doubt again - after his death, can a strong and straightforward temperament like Zhu Heyu, an extremely shallow city, and a little temper, really stabilize the Ming Dynasty?

It must be said that because of the temporary soft-heartedness of the crown prince Zhu Heyu last night, he thought that he could cope with the situation of the dynasty this morning and could temporarily delay the time for Chen Dongxiang to take over as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, so it was really a very bad decision to not wake up Zhao Shan to discuss the arrangements for the court this morning.

In addition, after he realized his mistake, he was impulsive again, and he was a little unscrupulous, which was a taboo of Emperor Deqing.

Therefore, after Zhao Shancai went through painstaking consideration, it was not easy for the crown prince Zhu and Yu to save the situation, and it was not easy for Emperor Deqing to regain confidence in the prince, and he was easily lost by the crown prince Zhu and Yu.

However, the crown prince Zhu Heyu did not notice the change in Emperor Deqing's complexion, and still looked like a righteous Ling Ran, and continued to speak: "What's more, this Chen Dongxiang and Zuo Lanshan have always advanced and retreated together, and the two have always been Zhao Junchen's leader, if Zuo Lanshan leaves office, and Chen Dongxiang takes over, then won't the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court become the backyard of the 'Zhao Party'......"

"Shut up!"

Seeing that the crown prince Zhu Heyu was becoming more and more unscrupulous, he was about to tear up the unspoken rules of officialdom and the tacit understanding of the monarchs and ministers, and expose the partisan strife in the court in public, Emperor Deqing became more and more angry, and finally couldn't help but shout to stop Zhu Hejian.

At this moment, Emperor Deqing's expression was even more gloomy to the extreme.
