Chapter 330 Entering the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister
"The Cui family has a rich heritage of seven hundred years. After changing dynasties and changing dynasties, your Cui family is still infinitely prosperous. During the Qing Dynasty, there were three princes from one family. During the Xuan Dynasty, there were five princes-in-law. Now I am in Yunhuang, and the Cui family has three more people to worship. Xiang enters the pavilion. There are millions of acres of fertile land in Youzhou, and he is married to the regent, and the court responds to every call. Hahaha, how can such a famous family care about the life of a mere county magistrate?"
With his sharp tongue, Li Fan put Cui Shining on the fire repeatedly.
Listening to this, Mu Tingxue couldn't help but feel sympathy for her brother-in-law.
There is no way to fight back.
They are both prime ministers of the cabinet, but they are obviously not in the same rank.
"Since Cui Linggong entered the cabinet, he has tried his best to do everything, eat and drink every night, and be loyal to the country. This has hindered some old cabinet ministers and tried every means to exclude him as a junior. Alas, now he is not strict with his subordinates and has fallen into the trap. At the hands of despicable people."
The ultimate bad mouth, enjoy a happy life.
Everyone in the palace looked at the eldest princess with shock in their eyes. From the moment the eldest princess came in, she had been watching from the sidelines and only watched the fight. Everyone knew that the eldest princess and Cui Shining had conflicts, but no one thought that she would help Cui Shining scold Li Shangshu!
Even Yang Shizhong, who had been dozing off, suddenly became very energetic. He is also an "old cabinet minister".
No, you can’t take the blame!
Yang Shizhong rubbed his face, which was still awake, and stepped forward to bow deeply: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, although the Cui family and the Yang family have a feud for a hundred years, they are both enemies in the business world. I can distinguish between public and private matters and have never been involved in cabinet affairs. , I was a stumbling block for Cui Linggong and delayed state affairs. If you have any grudges or revenge, they are all under the court."
These words not only clarify themselves, but also connotate the Cui family.
You surnamed Cui don't do human affairs. In the past, you bribed Mr. Lu, the former Minister of Household Affairs, not to allocate funds for the water transportation project to my son, which triggered a civil uprising. Huh, if the eldest princess hadn't given the money to my son as soon as she took office, it would have been controlled. If the situation is under control, there will be big trouble.
Mu Tingxue responded with a smile: "Shi Yang upholds justice and has the overall situation in mind. He is a model for the cabinet."
Old Man Yang smiled brightly and his white beard twitched happily: "The eldest princess is so complimentary, I'm so ashamed."
Li Fan on the side looked gloomy.
What do you mean?
Call him a despicable person, a veteran cabinet minister who does not distinguish between public and private matters and bullies younger generations?
And this damn old man Yang, who knows how to please the eldest princess all day long. It was not convenient for him to publicly shame Old Man Yang, because in terms of qualifications, Yang Shizhong joined the cabinet a year earlier than him, so he had to step back in terms of seniority in the officialdom.
Mu Tingxue continued to scold: "It's a pity that the despicable villain has made slanderous remarks and malicious slanders one after another. Cui Linggong, if you are kicked out of the cabinet because of this matter, you must never abandon your ambition."
Cui Shining was greatly moved, and his eyes became even redder.
All his hard work has paid off, and Her Royal Highness the Princess has completely forgiven him. Treat him as one of your own and encourage him.
Li Fan seemed to have suffered a lot of grievances and said: "I have been in Shangshu Province for thirty years and have worked diligently. What can I do if a civil servant does not advise the Queen Mother to set things straight? How can I slander and slander her? He said, I'm just stating the facts, my advice is offensive to my ears, and the eldest princess doesn't like to hear it, so I just shut up."
"A civil servant?"
Mu Tingxue teased, "Why, Lord Li is deeply dissatisfied with the position of Prime Minister Zuo? How about I give you all the tiger charms from the Zhenbei Army and the Southeast Navy Army, plus the ones in Young Master Ling's hands?" The 100,000 Imperial Guards guarding the Imperial City, with the Heavenly Constitution in their mouths, are in your hands to fight for life and death, and all powers are in your hands."
Li Fan stiffened, the expression on his face was extremely wonderful.
His whole body felt like he was in the cold winter, buried in the freezing snow, and his heart felt cold.
Annoying!
This stinky woman is so vicious and vicious, how could she say such heart-wrenching words in front of the Queen Mother and several important ministers! Trap him into injustice!
What Empress Dowager Yan is best at is cooperating with her daughter from a distance, and she immediately answered: "Shang Shu, you are a complainer. Did you give the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Southeast Navy to Su Zixiu instead of you? Or is it right? Have you been coveting the position of Governor of Zhenbei for a long time?"
"The Queen Mother! I don't dare! I am wronged!"
Li Fan was so angry that he hated the eldest princess to death.
It doesn't matter if you give him a shit basin, but you also give him the hatred of the Su family.
I secretly swore in my heart: Xie Qingyuan, just wait for me. Sooner or later, I will bring down you and the regent, this couple. The higher you climb now, the harder you will fall tomorrow!
"Hmph, I'm sorry you don't dare either."
Empress Dowager Yan sneered, turned to Cui Shining, and issued the final verdict, "Those three Cui family clan members were arrested immediately and imprisoned by the Ministry of Punishment and the Three Law Departments for trial. Cui Shining was demoted one level to the rank of Minister of Zhongshu and was not allowed to enter the hospital again within five years. Pavilion!"
Cui Shining swallowed the bitter pill: "My lord, I would like to thank the Queen Mother for her kindness."
From the glorious prime minister of Zhongshu Ling, he became a third-rank minister and the second-in-command of Zhongshu Ling.
No further promotion for five years.
This is tantamount to making him withdraw from the core of power, which is a relatively serious punishment. His weight in Yandang suddenly became much lighter.
The eyes of the seven or eight ministers below who were smarter than the old fox suddenly lit up!
There is another vacant seat in the cabinet!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so we must work harder to send our own people there.
"The Queen Mother, there is a vacancy in the cabinet, and the veterans recommend one person, Tianqi Gongnan Palace! He has experienced two dynasties, has extremely senior qualifications, has both political integrity and talent, and has a high reputation among the scholars. He can be of great use!"
"The cabinet is the backbone of the country. All major proposals need to be voted for and reviewed by the cabinet ministers. Four people are much more reliable than three people. It is recommended to find another person. Tianqi Gongnan Palace Grand Situ should be the first choice. He is rich in knowledge, wise and decisive, and has a good reputation. If you have a reputation as a virtuous person, you will be favored by everyone!"
Li Fanjian succeeded in kicking Cui Shining out of the cabinet, and was instantly resurrected with full health. He enthusiastically recommended Nangong Jie, who was also the emperor's master.
The Nangong family is no longer a neutral party.
Like Li Dang, they are both staunch supporters of the emperor's pro-government and allies!
Mr. Li is not stupid. He knows that cabinet ministers value qualifications, prestige, political achievements, and background. Since the founding of Yunhuang, no one under the age of forty has joined the cabinet to worship the prime minister. Young people from Li's family cannot be forced into it. It is just annoying. joke. Cui Shining was just forty. When he first joined the cabinet, he encountered a lot of criticism. If it hadn't been for the protection of the Prince Regent and the Empress Dowager Yan, he would not have been able to stand at all.
If two of the four cabinet members can support Xie Xuanchen, the possibility of pro-government will be greatly increased!
As the young emperor's power expanded, he could also begin to approve some memorials.
Empress Dowager Yan just raised her eyelids slightly and took a sip of tea lazily: "Xiao Wangzhi, the governor of Bai Dizhou, has entered the palace, commanded Zhongshu Province, and entered the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister."
