  Chapter 2659 The picture of the Kui character scroll is poor, and the bottom is drawn

  Qi Yongtai knew that he could not drag on any longer.

  He wasn't sure if he would be able to wake up next time he fell asleep.

He didn't expect his body to deteriorate to such an extent all of a sudden, like a person who was usually in good health, suddenly fell ill and couldn't even get out of bed, and he could feel the energy in his body growing rapidly. Disappeared, every other day, he felt that his weakness had increased a bit, and he even found it difficult to drink soup.

But the situation in central Beijing has not yet settled down, and he also knows that Li Sancai has frequently contacted Guan Yingzhen and Huang Ruliang to communicate with him, as well as Ye Fang. Zhen and Huang Ruliang continued to support, and believed that Ye Fang and Ye Fang were not the kind of people who ignored their own reputation, but it was indeed possible that Ye Fang and Ye Fang would remain silent on this matter and not give themselves the full support they expected.

   Gu Bingqian's performance is indeed not very good, so what?

   Could it be that Li Sancai is better than Gu Bingqian?

Gu Bingqian has never been Qi Yongtai's favorite chief assistant, he is more optimistic about his own disciples, but Ziying's qualifications are so shallow, it is extremely difficult to even join the cabinet, it is obviously impossible to be the chief assistant without ten years of precipitation, so let Gu Bingqian this It is most in line with my intention to be the weak chief assistant. Gu Bingqian will serve for one term, and the next official Ying Zhen and Huang Ruliang will compete for each other. It doesn't matter who wins, and the next term will be Ziying's time to emerge.

According to Qi Yongtai's vision, both Guan Huang and Huang will be 60 years old in ten years, so they can naturally consider retiring. Ziying's succession is perfect. Just turned forty.

The five years of Gu Bingqian's weak first assistant are the most suitable five years for Feng Ziying's self-development and growth after joining the cabinet. It is the best opportunity for Ziying to exercise, and Ziying needs such an excellent opportunity the most.

  Qi Yongtai even felt that if Gu Bingqian used Ziying well, he might not be able to serve two terms, and directly dragged Guan Huang to Zhishi, and Ziying would be directly promoted to the chief assistant. It is not impossible, even very possible.

   Judging from Ziying's current attitude, Qi Yongtai has no reason not to expect this kind of miracle to happen.

Qiao Yingjia's negotiation with Han Yu and Sun Juxiang still had some effect. Although both Han Yu and Sun Juxiang felt that recommending Feng Ziying to the cabinet so hastily was counterproductive and would be more detrimental to Feng Ziying's long-term development. Years have grown rapidly, and in the past three years, they have made great achievements in succession, and Shaanxi under the rule has presented a scene of peace and prosperity as a proof. Therefore, under the insistence of Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia, several people also accepted Qi Qiao's proposal. Opinion.

   As for Cui Jingrong and Wang Yongguang, Qi Yongtai talked in person and basically reached an agreement.

Of course, it is impossible for everyone to be satisfied. Apart from these leaders, there are always some influential scholars who are not satisfied with this, thinking that Feng Ziying was just a coincidence, and the credit he made is somewhat exaggerated. Another person can do the same. With such achievements, Feng Ziying's straight career is quite criticized, and it is even more unacceptable to go straight to the cabinet.

   Qi Yongtai did not call Feng Ziying back in advance, because he thought that calling Feng Ziying back before convincing everyone would be too aggressive and arbitrary, and he could call Feng Ziying back after convincing everyone.

  The governor was originally a temporary position and could be recalled at any time. Now that he comes back, he can be considered as a bachelor of Dongge University and join the cabinet as the most basic bachelor.

   Qi Yongtai did not intend to delay this series of operations, and wanted to complete it in one go. He conferred Gu Bingqian as a University Student of Jianji Hall, Qiao Yingjia as a University Student of Wuying Hall, and Guan Yingzhen and Huang Ruliang as University Students of Wenhua Palace.

  Before he became an official, the emperor would retain the title of Grand Master and Zhongjidian University Bachelor, and then he would retire.

Qi Yongtai also knew that Emperor Wantong had been unhappy with him for a long time, but he didn't think that the other party dared to make a fuss about such things. It was a denial of his own honor, and no scholar in the world would agree to it. Of course, he couldn't fall in love with him either. , since he was granted the Grand Master and Zhongjidian University Bachelor, then he must retire with honor, otherwise his reputation will also be damaged.

   For scholars, this is the most important thing.

   "Is it all ready?" Qi Yongtai gasped, "Go and invite Liuji, Dongxian and Mingqi to come first, and then go to Wenyuan Pavilion."

  The staff and the chief follower also understood Dong Weng's intentions, and respectfully said: "It's all ready, if the three adults come to see it, if there is no problem, just wait for everyone to countersign."

It doesn't matter if Li Sancai and Tang Binyin don't countersign, the cabinet only needs two more countersignatures besides myself, the chief minister, and even a stronger chief minister will directly deprive the cabinet ministers of the opportunity to countersign. Yes, of course, it may be easy to become betrayed, and the result is that you fall from the horse.

   There is no chief assistant who can't even get two of the cabinet ministers to support him, then this chief assistant is a failure, and he is not worthy of being the first assistant.

  Gu Bingqian, Guan Yingzhen and Huang Ruliang all arrived soon, and they also understood Qi Yongtai's intention to summon the three of them now.

   "Brother Chengfeng, are you a little too eager now?" Guan Yingzhen couldn't help asking, "How about some more persuasion from Daofu?"

"Dong Xian, if it works, why should I be so fussy? It's okay to make some concessions. I've made two preparations, but we all know what he's thinking. He went to see Zhang Jingqiu the day before yesterday. I'm afraid it's hard to get him back. Already..."

  Qi Yongtai's words made all three of them change their expressions: "Zhang Jingqiu? He went to see Zhang Jingqiu?"

Zhang Jingqiu is the most typical "imperial party" in the court, and was promoted by Emperor Yonglong at the beginning. In fact, both Gu Bingqian and Li Sancai had a certain relationship with Emperor Yonglong's promotion, but Gu and Li are different from Zhang Jingqiu. , they are only close to the emperor, and they are completely different from Zhang Jingqiu, a civil servant who is purely attached to the emperor, so once Emperor Yonglong can't take care of things, Zhang Jingqiu will be marginalized quickly, and in the end he can only become an official, but after all, Zhang Jingqiu has been in the court for many years. He has served as Minister of the Ministry of War and Yushi Zuodu for a long time, and he still has some contacts, and there has been no major movement after his retirement, but Emperor Wantong also tried to win him over after he became the throne, but there is no news. Obviously Zhang Jingqiu also Not very optimistic about Emperor Wantong.

  But now if Li Sancai went to Zhang Jingqiu, the meaning would be different, which meant that Li Sancai was ready to start to "set things right" and pull up a group of people.

  He is originally from the north, and one or two scholars in Shaanxi lean towards him. Tang Binyin, Zhang Jingqiu, and Gao Panlong who retired with hatred, if you add Gu Tianjun, Zhu Guozhen and others who have been eager to try, they still have some momentum.

"Well, according to the news from the Ministry of Punishment, Captain Long of Lu Song has closed his eyes and listened to it. Maybe he has other thoughts. I have been in poor health for a while, and I can't take care of my energy. Liuji The name is not right and the words are not right, so it is difficult to deal with some things,..." Qi Yongtai paused, "So I think it is better sooner rather than later, Liuji succeeds the first assistant, Dongxian you take over the second assistant,..."

This is a little uncomfortable for Huang Ruliang, but Qi Yongtai has clearly told him that if there is no special change, Gu Bingqian will be the first assistant. This time, as a compensation, Xu Xie, a fellow from his hometown, was promoted to be the Chancellor of Shuntian Mansion, which was quite an extraordinary promotion.

   "Brother Chengfeng, the emperor's side..." Gu Bingqian hesitated, "How did you think about the prince?"

  Gu Bingqian was a little worried. If there was no compromise on the crown prince, Emperor Wantong would not easily pass the cabinet's proposal, and if the emperor did not grant imperial approval and seal, this procedure would not go through.

"I'm also thinking about this issue." Qi Yongtai said indifferently: "But at this time, you have compromised, Liuji, your next step as the chief assistant may be even more difficult, the emperor will push forward on various issues step by step, How do you deal with it? The result of taking one step back is a hundred steps back, have you considered it?"

"But what should we do if the emperor procrastinates and refuses to approve the seal?" Guan Yingzhen asked back: "If it is an ordinary matter, the emperor will not take this step easily, but this is the change of the cabinet's chief minister, of course he understands the importance, and I also know that Brother Chengfeng, your current body can't afford it, so you will definitely make trouble because of this,..."

Qi Yongtai pondered for a while, "It's okay if you don't want to be criticized, just use the seal, Xia Bingzhong's palm print, he can trace the emperor's characters to eight or nine points, I have seen it, ordinary people can't recognize it, there is no problem with him, just use the seal , I greeted him."

Gu Guanhuang and the others looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't expect that Qi Yongtai, who was always upright and upright, would dare to act like this at this time. It seemed that he had already considered this issue. It's irrelevant, the new cabinet has already taken office, and he, the emperor, should "perform his duties" honestly.

   And Xia Bingzhong has long been connected with the cabinet princes, and is also an important **** for the cabinet to place in the palace. The Shang Sanqin Army also communicates with him frequently, so there is no problem at all.

   But it was Xia Bingzhong who had been firmly in the palace all along, and even Emperor Wantong couldn't touch him. If he hadn't had the full support of the cabinet, it would have been impossible.

"Since that's the case, there's nothing wrong with it." Guan Yingzhen and Huang Ruliang exchanged glances and nodded. Qi Yongtai had already considered it carefully, but Gu Bingqian was obviously a person who had no idea and liked to be careless. In the future, the cabinet will have to The two officials and Huang came to support the overall situation, which is why Huang Ruliang reluctantly accepted it.
