Chapter 1398 Consolation to Nanyang(1/2)
Qin Lang has already made the third resignation.
The emperor still refused.
In the Political Affairs Hall.
Qin Lang was already making the final arrangements at his own pace. At this time, there were still five prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall, including him.
The Secretary of the Central Committee, Lai Ji, the Shi Zhong Shangguan Yi, the left servant Pei Xingjian, the right servant Jia Runfu, and the four chiefs of the three provinces.
"In the future, political affairs will still be rotated according to the old rules, and will be replaced every day."
"Sanlang is thinking about it. Even if you really have no intention of staying in the court for a long time, you will be assisting Your Majesty in the court for at least three to five years, right? You are still so young and in your early fifties, don't always rush back to your fiefdom to enjoy it." Right servant Jia Runfu said with a smile.
He is almost seventy years old and is the brother of Qin Qiongyuan and Jia. Although Qin Lang's mother is not Jia, he has a good relationship with Lao Jia. Lao Jia Zhenguan Dynasty basically works in the Transport Department system and is proficient in financial and tax revenue. He was also planning before.
His hair was half white, but his face was still very rosy.
"If you say you are old, only an old man like me should really resign."
He will be seventy next year. According to convention, officials from the Tang Dynasty will retire at the age of 70. However, if senior officials in good health, the emperor will remain in office. For example, there are several senior officials in the Tang Dynasty, such as Li Gang, Pei Ju, and Xiao Deyan, who are all old monsters who have lived for more than 80 or even nearly 100 years old.
This official is basically killed.
Jia Runfu was promoted from a clever scene to the right Pushe. He had just taken office, so naturally he could not retire next year.
"Don't talk about this matter anymore. I have decided that it will not be changed."
Qin Lang proposed to elect three prime ministers to the Political Affairs Hall, so that the Political Affairs Hall can reach seven phases, and maintaining the odd number will also help avoid controversy.
Lao Jia is the oldest among the prime ministers, so he said politely at this time, "The Minister of Personnel is the head of the six ministries. He is in charge of the selection and award of officials in the world, and the political orders for the examination of the class. The Minister of Personnel comes to Heng and will be appointed as the prime minister and enter the Political Affairs Hall."
Although the central political system of the Tang Dynasty had already been developed from the three provinces and six ministries in the early Tang Dynasty, and was headed by the Secretariat, and now it has developed into a new pattern of east and west governments plus three ministries.
However, the Minister of Personnel still serves as an important official in charge of officials' selection and appointment, and becomes an extremely powerful and important official in the court.
During the Zhenguan Dynasty, Pushe was often appointed as the Minister of Personnel to strengthen the prime minister's personnel rights.
Controlling personnel rights is very important in any era.
The Secretariat Ling Laiji coughed twice, but took the initiative to avoid suspicion.
"The Minister of Personnel Lai Heng is my real brother. If he enters the Political Affairs Hall to be the prime minister, then I should go out. I can't be the prime minister together."
Old Jia said, "What's the matter? You should not avoid relatives when you select a talented person. I remember that you two brothers took the same exam together in one subject, and they won the top scorer and second place based on their ability? That's something that people have been talking about for many years. Now if you brothers are the same as the prime minister, this is even more of a beautiful story."
"This is not suitable." Lai Ji shook his head.
It is really not good for two brothers to worship the prime minister together. After all, this is the prime minister. Even if the prime minister's power is now weakened, it is still the prime minister.
Qin Lang thought for a while, "Why would Lai Heng be transferred to the position of Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy and the Chief Edict?"
"Who will be the Minister of Personnel? Cui Dunli?"
"Cui Dunli is old," Qin Lang said the truth.
Old Jia smiled and said, "Cui Dunli is as big as me, hehe."
Qin Lang ignored his words, "How about the Censor Liu Xiangdao who was appointed as the Minister of Personnel, and he was appointed as the third rank of the Secretariat?"
"Liu Xiangdao's father Liu Linfu was a member of the Secretariat when he was Wude. He was the Minister of Personnel at the beginning of Zhenguan and was famous for his talents." Lao Jia said again.
Lai Ji and Pei Xingjian, Shangguan Yi neither opposed it.
Because Liu Xiangdao was also a member of Qin Lang, Liu Xiangdao's father Liu Linfu was the Minister of Personnel in Zhenguan, but died of illness in the third year of Zhenguan. Liu Xiangdao's young master inherited his father's title and started well with the Liu family in Guangping. Later, he became a disciple of Qin Lang. In the early Kaiyuan period, Qin Lang personally promoted him as the Minister of the Central Secretariat and helped him take the most critical step.
Later, he rose to prominence, including the Minister of the Central Secretariat, the Transshipment Authority, the Huangmen Secretariat, the Minister of Justice, and the Censorate.
Whether it is qualifications or talents, they are enough to worship the minister.
The Minister of Personnel is an important position and requires a calm official. Liu Xiangdao is suitable for all aspects.
Several prime ministers agreed to Liu Xiangdao's entry into the Political Affairs Hall, and Qin Lang wrote down this name.
There are two quotas for prime ministers left, and Qin Lang believes that the Secretariat and the Menxia provinces will each choose a minister to be the prime minister.
There are two ministers in each province.
"How about "Xu Wu, the Minister of Justice, serve as the Minister of the Secretariat and was appointed as the third rank of the Secretariat?"
"Can."
Several prime ministers nodded.
Xu Jun was the son of Qiao Guogong Xu Shao, who had served as the Minister of the Yellow Sect before. Of course, everyone agreed to him to enter the Political Affairs Hall. The most important thing was that he followed Shangguan Yi and Pei Xingjian were both classmates from Chonghong Pavilion, and they were all students of Qin Lang. And later, they passed the Jinshi exam when Qin Lang was the president of the imperial examination.
At the beginning, Qin Lang promoted Xu to the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat.
A true person.
However, when the Supreme Emperor wanted to deal with Qin Lang, he was demoted, and was still caused by Xu Jingzong, who was of the same surname. However, for Qin Lang, Master Xu has performed well over the years. He is both capable and his own people, so he must be excellent.
In this regard, Qin Lang is also selfish.
Even ordinary officials will definitely promote their own people well before retirement.
Moreover, if you want to ensure the interests of the Qin family, or even the safety of the Qin family, it is of course very important to have a few of your own disciples in the court.
Of course, I also welcome my old classmate Mr. Xu to join the Political Affairs Hall as a partner.
"He Chujun is the Minister of the Yellow Sect, and is also the third rank of the subordinates of the Secretariat?"
"He Chujun is Mr. Xu's nephew, isn't it suitable?" He said just now that Lai Ji's brothers are in the same family as the court, and he stood up to object. He knew that Lai Ji and Mr. Xu were classmates, so he opposed it himself.
He Chujun's father married Xu Shao's eldest daughter, and Xu Shi was Xu Shao's youngest son, so He Chujun's nephew was actually the same age as his uncle Xu Shi Shi. He was both promoted by Qin Lang and also Qin Lang's students.
"Then let He Chujun be the censor?"
"The Minister of Personnel is promoted to the Censorate, no problem." Lai Ji made a statement, and everyone else agreed. If it weren't for his nephew and uncle, He Chujun was actually fully qualified to be the Minister of the Huangmen.
He was ten years old and was lonely, knowledgeable and studious. When he was studying under Qin Lang, he was a top student and a Jinshi. However, he was not a nerd when he became an official. He even knew military affairs. When Li Jisu Ding was conquering the Korean Peninsula, He Chujun once advised military affairs in Korea, coordinated food and grass, and managed the administration of the newly conquered land, and was in order.
Several prime ministers also recommended candidates.
Dai Zhou's son Dai Zhide, Sun Chuyou, who became the Minister of the Secretariat in the late Zhenguan period, came to Jihe Chujun's classmate Gao Zhizhou, and Ma Zai, son of Ma Zhou, etc.
There is even Yan Liben, the Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works.
Qin Lang thought about it again and again.
"Ma Zai, the envoy of the Ministry of Revenue, was promoted to the Minister of the Huangmen, and was appointed as the third rank of the Minister of the Central Secretariat. Dai Zhide was the envoy of the Ministry of Revenue, Gao Zhizhou, the Minister of Justice, Sun Chu made an appointment to be the Minister of the Central Secretariat, and Zhang Da'an was the Minister of the Huangmen?"
Both General Xin Mao and Ren Yaxiang had passed away, while the other two ministers who were close relatives of the Supreme Emperor were demoted, so the four ministers under the Secretariat are now vacant.
The two ministers were appointed as prime ministers, and the two ministers were responsible for provincial affairs.
The discussion has been decided.
Qin Lang puts a pen and writes a list.
After he resigned, the Political Affairs Hall would be led by the Secretary of the Secretariat Laiji, the Minister of the Secretariat Shangguan Yi, the left servant Pei Xingjian, and the right servant Jia Runfu.
Xu Wushi, Minister of the Secretariat, Ma Zai, Minister of the Huangmen, and Liu Xiangdao, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
The first four are given the title of "Pingzhang in the Secretariat of the Secretariat", and the last three are given the title of "Pingzhang in the Secretariat of the Secretariat".
He Chujun was appointed as the Censor of the Censorate, Gao Zhizhou was appointed as the Minister of Justice, Sun Chu made an appointment as the Minister of the Secretariat, Zhang Da'an was appointed as the Minister of the Yellow Gate, and Dai Zhide was appointed as the Ministry of Revenue.
Basically, the center headed by this Political Affairs Hall is a center where the Qin family cannot be seen, but Qin Lang's influence is full of every corner.
Zhang Da'an is the son of Zhang Gongjin, a hero of Lingyan Pavilion, and Ma Zai is the son of Ma Zhou, the prime minister of Zhenguan.
The others are either their own students or their old subordinates.
Qin Lang even discussed with Lai Ji and the six ministers of the Secretariat and the six ministers of the Secretariat, and then readjusted and replaced most of the people, basically from their own faction.
The Secretariat and the Secretariat were called prime ministers and were very important official positions. Although they were only fifth-rank officials, prime ministers such as Xu Shi Laiji had held this important position.
Even fifth-rank officials can play an important role in the court, and even cultivate prime ministers in the future, cultivate their own people to be prime ministers, and plan for a longer future.
Li Shouzhen, the cardinal secretary of the Political Affairs Hall, quickly copied it and then gave it to Qin Lang for a review.
Qin Lang nodded with satisfaction to the senior official of the hall, then signed his name and stamped the seal of the Secretary of the Central Committee, "Okay, you can submit it to His Majesty for approval."
"By the way, I will send my fourth resignation together."
All the things that should be arranged are also arranged, and it is time to say goodbye.
If you stay, stay and stay and become enemies.
After seeing the memorial presented, the emperor quickly summoned Qin Lang to report and asked to stay again. Qin Lang seriously told the emperor that he was indeed going back.
"It's okay if the Grand Tutor wants to go back to Luzon, but his official positions are still there."
Qin Lang shook his head.
"Since I want to retreat, I will retreat cleanly. There is no need to keep the title of prime minister anymore. If I don't do anything in Luoyang, why should I keep the title of prime minister? Wouldn't I occupy the pit and not shit, and be a corpse position and eat for nothing?"
"But I want to ask the saint for an official title."
"Please say, don't mention one title, ten are fine."
"I propose to establish the Nanhai Xuanfu Envoy Division to comfort the South China Sea and to appease the countries on the sea."
The emperor nodded repeatedly, "The Grand Tutor's suggestion is good, so he set up a new Nanhai Xuanwei Envoy Office, and the Yamen District was located in San Francisco, Luzon, Xuanwei Envoy, and comfort the sea. How about it?" The emperor was very happy.
To be continued...
