After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

Because Emperor Wei was not very satisfied with the list of Heshuo officials previously drawn up by the Zhengshitang. The Zhengshitang was ordered to draft a new list based on the list of current officials. So much so that the envoy who was supposed to return to Heshuo Three Towns as scheduled stayed for the time being.

In the political hall, a group of officials wearing purple robes and holding the title of prime minister sat facing each other. Jia Gonglu and Cen Xi stood side by side, and everyone tacitly agreed not to approach the vacated position of Zhongshu Ling.

Emperor Wei was dissatisfied with their plan, which meant that all personnel needed to be weighed again.

Therefore, personnel affairs are politics. Everyone here is an outstanding politician elected by various companies, and they naturally know how a top politician should weigh personnel changes.

Satisfying one's desires through personnel transfers is the lowest level of playing with grass and rabbits, and is not worth mentioning at all. Another way to expand one's power through personnel transfers is also a second-level method. An excellent politician will often only make personnel transfers to enable himself to continue to advance, or to block his opponent's promotion path through personnel transfers.

These two methods are juxtaposed and should be considered according to the specific situation when implementing them.

For example, the current situation.

It's just to see who can make better use of personnel transfers.

Holding on to the jade wolf-hair pen, he licked the ink in the Piyong inkstone with the tip of the pen. He rolled up his sleeves and picked up a pen to write on the jade paper.

She knew why Emperor Wei was dissatisfied. It’s just that the noble family still has the upper hand in this personnel transfer, especially the noble family that nourished Heshuo. Take advantage of this return to gain a foothold in the court again.

With his thoughts at this point, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes and quickly passed over the people around him. The tip of her pen roams across the jade plate paper, and she keeps writing.

The sound of the brush brushing against the jade plate made everyone look up.

In the blink of an eye, Pei Jiaoran put down his pen. He handed the jade paper with the fragrance of ink to Jia and Cen respectively.

It was only then that everyone discovered it. It turned out that the second piece of jade paper was also soaked with ink, and the writing on it was clearly visible.

"Taking your Majesty's wishes, I have drafted a new list and asked my two husbands to take a look." After saying this, Pei Jiaoran gathered his clothes and sat down, looking at Jia and Cen with a smile on his lips.

The names on the directory are different from the previous ones, but some similarities can still be seen.

All the people who had been replaced in the states under the jurisdiction of Heshuo returned to their original positions as governors. And those high-ranking officials who replaced them were embedded in the position of a governor, and after the official position of a governor, there was also a supervisory censor. Some officials from other states transferred from Chang'an were assigned to counties under the rule of the state to serve as county magistrates or county lieutenants. A small number of them serve as observers.

In short, this list written by Pei Jiaoran not only takes into account the interests of all parties, but also perfectly explains the attitude of the court.

She used this list to tell the entire Heshuo to the court that the court was able to control the overall situation of Heshuo. But for the sake of political stability, we will not cause trouble randomly.

This was the bloody policy she launched on the entire Jiangnan after learning from the former Sui Dynasty Ping and Chen. Use the gentlest means to appease Heshuo Fan Town.

"Mr. Pei is indeed the successor chosen by Duke Chang Li. He also has a vicious eye for selecting people." Jia Gonglu looked at her with a smile, "I have also drawn up a list, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Cen Xi smiled and said, "My thoughts are the same as those of Mr. Pei. I wonder what Mr. Jia thinks?"

Listening to Cen Xi's words, Pei Jiaoran handed over the paper he had just received, "Mr. Cen, it's up to you to read it. You two can make up your mind. I don't dare to overstep my authority."

Pei Jiaoran handed over the jade plate paper with a respectful look on his face, turned his head and glanced at the two eunuchs who came over, and slightly raised his lips.

These two people were sent by Zhang Rang today. However, because the meeting of the political hall was about the decision-making and selection of officials, they could not interfere too much and could only watch from the sidelines.

His fingers brushed against the engraved unicorn pattern on the table. Pei Jiaoran suddenly smiled.

It seems that the two people sent by Zhang Rang are not enough to play with the old foxes of Zhengshitang. As for him, he is probably still thinking of ways to let the Privy Council better encroach on the power of the Central Committee.

It's a good time to do something.

While she was thinking about it, Cen Xi had already read the list drawn up by Jia Gonglu.

"His Majesty should be satisfied with this list." Cen Xi turned to look at the two officials, "I'd like you to submit the list to Your Majesty."

Taking the paper handed over by Cen Xi with a look of impatience, the two internal officials turned around and left.

This concludes the political meeting.

Only Pei Jiaoran and Cen Xi were left sitting inside.

Looking at the vacant Zhongshuling chair, Pei Jiaoran turned his head and looked at Cen Xi, "Ms. Cen really thinks my idea is a good one?"

"The one you had before was drawn up according to Cui Shao's wishes. You and I both know what he wants to do and what he wants the court to be like." Cen Xi said warmly.

Pei Jiaoran picked up the pen and wrote another list of names on the paper and handed it to Cen Xi again.

"Actually, these people are really good at discussing family matters, but it's a pity that they belong to Heshuo's aristocratic families. If we follow Cui Shao's wishes and let them stay completely in Heshuo, then the situation in the three towns will not be very good."

Looking at the jade paper in front of him, Cen Xi smiled and said, "Then are you confident that these people will do exactly what you want?"

"Shouldn't they be made supervisory censors? Their official positions are not important. What is important is the supervisory power given to them." Pei Jiaoran put down his pen and picked up the tea cup that was already cold on the case. He raised the corners of his lips slightly and said in a gentle tone, "Although he is not a high-ranking official, he has the power to supervise local government affairs. If the senior officials of Heshuo want to take over the position of governor, they have to find out their problems. In this way, the interests of both parties Cooperation can also become full of contradictions.”

Looking at her, Cen Xi asked: "But what if they cover each other up?"

"Unless Heshuo provides higher benefits, then the two will only restrain each other instead of cooperating. What Heshuo wants is to occupy a certain position in the court. At present, the court has given them the power to supervise local officials. Specifically, what can they do? To what extent they do it depends entirely on their own choice." Pei Jiaoran said unhurriedly.

"Cui Shao is too naive to think that he can open up a situation for the Heshuo family in the court during this chaos. There are already enough families in Gyeonggi who are receiving salaries, and there is no extra benefit for them. They Zeng and the vassal town of Heshuo worked together in collusion, and even encouraged all rebellions behind the scenes. Based on this alone, His Majesty cannot fully accept them. Being willing to give them benefits now is the greatest mercy of the imperial power."

Pei Jiaoran fiddled with the emerald-green brush, "The integration of personnel and the division of interests often depend on having a clear mind and observing all situations from a commanding height. It's like the Privy Council has been stripped away this time. Now, take advantage of the opportunity They haven’t gained a foothold yet, so it’s a good time for you and me to take action.”

As if he understood what she meant, Cen Xi looked at the pen in her hand and said: "Slander is always harmful. The establishment of the Privy Council does not have any ritualistic nature. However, it can step on the backbone of countless scholars to get closer to the imperial power." He smacked, "No matter what era, scholars have a backbone."

"It's not like scholars have a backbone. When their interests are violated by outsiders, they will naturally stand up and fight. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as a dress edict." Pei Jiaoran smiled as if he thought of something. "In the past, Cao Mao drove to Nanque and died. At the cost of his life, he nailed Sima Zhao to the shame of history books forever. He was the last backbone of Cao Wei, isn't that what he said?"

"Three generations of the Sima family worked hard to build a road to stealing the country. In the end, Cao Mao used the blood of the emperor as the price and completely destroyed it. Whose blood do you want to use to destroy Zhang Rang's plan?"

"Cao Mao's emperor's blood did not stop the Sima family's ambition to build the country, but it made Sima Zhao very anxious about it. He had to kill the chief criminal Cheng Ji to calm the turmoil." Pei Jiaoran's eyes flickered, "The blood How it came from is not important, what is important is who the blood belongs to. The blood of the emperor shocks the common people of the world, but the blood of scholars shocks the intellectuals of the world."

After saying this, Pei Jiaoran bowed to Cen Xi. Slowly exit the political hall.
