The New Biography of Han Lingdi

Chapter 94
All eyes looked at Chen Fan at the same time, as the No.1 court hall, do you want to talk.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Officials is concerned with the officials of the entire empire. What I mean is to choose an official with integrity, excellent ability, and high prestige." Chen Fan said, but what he said was useless nonsense.

"But when it comes to disputes, who else has excellent ability and high prestige besides Chen Aiqing?" Liu Hong said.His Minister of the Ministry of Officials preferred Chen Fan.

"The minister seconded the proposal." Qin Mu was the first to say that Chen Fan is not strictly the leader of the family, he is the official No.1, but in the Chen family, he is only a local family and does not have much influence.

Therefore, there is not much conflict of interest with him, so Qin Mu was the first to support it. "The minister also seconded the proposal." Yuan Feng also came out to support.There is no way, their prestige is also inferior to that of Chen Fan. During the past few months, Chen Fan, as the top minister in the cabinet, is in charge of controlling the entire government affairs, handling a huge empire clearly.

His status in the officialdom is also very good, so there is no problem for him to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, not to mention that Chen Fan is a person who can be accepted by the first department as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

This can be regarded as reaching everyone's balance point. Although it is not me, this person can still accept it.

"Then Mr. Chen will grant you the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, join the cabinet, and handle government affairs." Liu Hong made the final decision.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Fan was a little helpless. He originally wanted to leave the court, a place of right and wrong, but he did not expect that he would also become the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

"Your Majesty, I think Mr. Yuan Feng is young, talented, and well-known among scholars. I think Mr. Yuan Feng can be the Secretary of the Household Department." Li Ying stepped forward at this time, and he also knew that although his family background was not weak , but his political achievements were not good, so he decided to push Yuan Feng to the top.

"What about you? Look at it this way?" Liu Hong didn't make a choice. The Minister of the Household Department is the treasury of the Chaotang, and with the Chamber of Commerce, the Chaotang has more money. This department is also a sweet pastry. grabbing.

But Li Ying had already said it out, whether anyone would take this position at the risk of offending the two great families, I'm afraid there was none. "I also support it." Yang Ci also said, Yuan Feng is okay, the three families form an alliance, one will prosper and one will lose.

No one else spoke. The three families were obviously tied together. Although some were bullying the younger, it was really easy to use. No one dared to rob the three families at the same time.

"Okay then, Yuan Feng, Minister of the Household Department. Join the cabinet," Liu Hong said. "I recommended Wang Xu to be Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. What do you think? Into the cabinet."

The ministers scolded their mothers in their hearts after hearing this, and Liu Hong had already decided, is it still useful at this time.

Others may really object. No one dares to say that Wang Xu has such a high reputation and great ability. No one can deny that his position is a certainty.

"The minister seconded the proposal," and when he agreed for a while, it rose up like a tide. Anyway, complimenting others will not offend others, praise.

Of the nine ministers, the three with the most rights have been given away, and the rest of the people are a little anxious at this time.

"Where is the Minister of Rites?" Liu Hong asked, this department is supposed to be a pension club for future generations, it is useless, Liu Hong doesn't care, anyone can do it.Even if you enter the cabinet, it is basically a quota, and you have no right to speak.

Liu Hong didn't care, and the others didn't care too much. They all knew that they had no rights, so not many people robbed them. "Yang Ci, you should be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials." Liu Hong didn't even look at it, just clicked.

Yang Ci was named Confucianism, and he was a minister of the Ministry of Rites, teaching and enlightening all people in the world.It's formally possible, not to mention that although Yang Ci has talent, his ability is not enough, so ah, let's get a book from the Ministry of Rites and hang it high.

"Minister obeys the order." Yang Ci knew that he had been kicked out of the inner circle of power, so what's the use of being a Minister of Rites?

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Minister of the Ministry of War, let's talk about it." This is the last department that still has some power, like the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Medicine has no power, so these are also their last two places.

"Your Majesty, I recommend Li Ying as Minister of the Ministry of War. After all, Li Ying has led soldiers and is quite familiar with military affairs. We can minimize mistakes." Yuan Feng said. At this time, Yuan Feng repaid Li Ying's help just now.

"Your Majesty, I recommend Qin Mu as Minister of the Ministry of War. He used to be a Taiwei. He has led many battles and has rich experience. Therefore, I recommend Qin Mu." He was mentioned by Qin Mu to the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

At this point, the two of them felt a little awkward. There was only one minister of the Ministry of War, so it was up to him to choose who was not far away. The others didn't say a word, just waiting for Liu Hong's decision.

"Qin Mu served as Minister of the Ministry of War and joined the cabinet, and Li Ying served as the left servant of the Ministry of War. He did not join the cabinet." Liu Hong placed Li Ying as the second in command of the Ministry of War.It can also be regarded as comforting his wounded soul.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Mu was very happy, and Li Ying was in a good mood. He knew that it was impossible for him to be a minister, but when Yuan Feng proposed, he still had to look forward to it, but the final result came down. He wasn't elected, but he was also the second in command, which was acceptable.

"Murong Xin is Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Into the cabinet." A Ministry of Industry, Scholars, Agriculture, Industry and Commerce, this is not a joke, a yamen managed by the Ministry of Industry, really no one wants it, so Liu Hong's proposal has passed.

"Guo Xi was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture. He will not be in the cabinet." After hearing this, Guo Xi smiled wryly. The value of being in the cabinet is different. The Minister of Rites, a Qingshui yamen, also went to the cabinet, but the Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture cannot enter the cabinet. It made Guo Xi a little gloomy.

"Fan Li, Shangshu of the Ministry of Commerce, will not join the cabinet." Liu Hong said.

Everyone else was a little shocked, at least it was one of the nine ministers. Wouldn't it be bad for a member of the internal servants to soar into the sky? What would other people think?How to explain?
"The chamber of commerce under the Ministry of Commerce will be in charge of Su Bin," Liu Hong said immediately afterward. The entire Ministry of Commerce is under Liu Hong's control, which is a huge pressure on the aristocratic family.

But yes, few people know how to do business, so they gritted their teeth and agreed.

"What about the Yushitai?" Liu Hong said, I am afraid that this position does not have to be a low competitive official. The Yushitai is the right to control and impeach officials, so this position is also a department with real power. , Liu Hong knew that their last expectation was here.

If you get Yushitai, you can go directly to the cabinet, but if you don't get it, you can only go to other departments as the second, third, or even further.
