Ancient promotion routine

Huang Youze held up the wat board in his hand, and said to the emperor: "My majesty, after the investigation in Zhongzhou, I found that if it hadn't been for the persuasion of two adults, Yuwen Shangkai and Huang Xiujun, more ordinary people would have to suffer under the scorching sun. The common people said that those people offended Mr. Zhang, so they were dragged into hard labor by Mr. Zhang. They had to dig hard rocks under the scorching sun. Violating the code, the official believes that Zhang Yanjin is not worthy of being an official if he behaves like this!"

Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Gao Shijie, the servant of Zhongshu, stood up again and said, "I would like to report to the emperor that Zhang Yanjin's actions are not suitable for both emotion and reason. I think it's better to replace someone with a stable and kind heart to come to Zhongzhou Ministry of Industry, so that the reconstruction work of Zhongzhou can proceed smoothly."

Zhang Yanjin looked at Duke Rui Zhou Qin who had been standing silently, and found that Zhou Qin had not spoken.Is this old fox really calm, or does he feel that he is just a small shrimp and it is not enough to let him go?Or does Zhou Qin, an old fox, have other plans?

Chen Derang, Li Lian, and his uncle didn't speak either. Zhang Yanjin knew that these three people were here to wait and see how things would get worse.

The emperor glanced at Zhang Zhongqian. He knew that Zhang Zhongqian was always cautious and loyal to the court. Now that the matter involved Zhang Yanjin, Zhang Zhongqian's reticence was probably to avoid suspicion.

He glanced at Chen Derang and Li Lian again, and found that the two of them, like Zhang Zhongqian, kept their heads slightly lowered, as if they had no intention of speaking.

At this time, there were more and more voices in the court wanting him to dismiss Zhang Yanjin, and he became more and more irritable. Seeing that Chen Derang, Li Lian, and Zhang Zhongqian, the humerus veterans, had not spoken, he couldn't help getting annoyed.

At the beginning when Zhang Yanjin was recommended as the minister of the Zhongzhou Ministry of Industry, everyone said that Zhang Yanjin was suitable, but now that something happened, no one said anything.

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly swept over Duke Rui Zhou Qin, and he suddenly remembered that it was Zhou Qin who proposed Zhang Yanjin to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry of Zhongzhou.

Now that something happened, I stopped talking and wanted to let him make the decision alone?How could he let them do so?

He patted the dragon chair lightly with his hand, and brushed away the voices of the courtiers asking him to dismiss Zhang Yanjin casually like stroking spider silk, and then said: "I remember that Duke Rui strongly recommended Zhang Yanjin to be the worker of Zhongzhou. Minister of the Ministry, what do you think, Duke Rui?"

Zhang Zhongqian, Chen Derang, and Li Lian were waiting for the emperor's words. It is rare to have such a good opportunity. How could the three of them not set fire to the source?

Zhou Qin is the backbone of Gao Shijie's group. At the beginning, Zhou Qin strongly recommended Zhang Yanjin to be the Minister of Zhongzhou Ministry of Industry, but he probably used a flattering tactic in order to completely suppress Zhang Yanjin to the bottom of the valley.

Anyone who is an official knows that the higher you go, the more you walk on thin ice, like walking on the tip of a knife. There must be no mistakes, because everyone has great expectations for high-ranking people, and even the slightest bit of slack is not allowed to be high-ranking people. Wrong, so once a high-ranking person falls, the blame will be doubled.

No matter how great the praise was at the beginning, the blame and backlash after the fall will double up.

But he didn't expect the change, that is, not long after Zhang Yanjin went to Zhongzhou, he started tea in Nanyang and Xinyang of Zhongzhou.

As soon as Xinyang Maojian came out, their Zhou family's official tea business was completely squeezed to the edge. It's not bad to sell a hundred and ten catties a month. Moreover, the price also dropped sharply.

For their Zhou family, this is undoubtedly a big piece of fat in the mouth being poached by someone, and the pain is comparable to skin cramps. How can this not annoy the Zhou family?That's why they can't hold back and make a big fuss on Pingdingshan.

From today's □□ hall, everyone shouted for the emperor to dismiss Zhang Yanjin's voice, which can be seen.

Zhou Qin had long expected that he would be named, so he stood up without haste and said, "My Majesty, it was because I did not think properly at the beginning. Judging from this incident, Zhang Yanjin is not young enough to take on this important task." In Wei Chen's opinion, it's better to find someone who is safe and considerate."

Zhou Qin's move is not ruthless. Although he admits that he made a bad recommendation, everyone's attention is now on Zhang Yanjin, and they don't care too much about whether he made a recommendation. Zhang Yanjin's people all said that Zhang Yanjin was not good, so why don't you dismiss Zhang Yanjin, Your Majesty? !

Sure enough, as Zhou Qin expected, after Gao Shijie stood up and asked the emperor to dismiss Zhang Yanjin, a large number of officials came out to appeal for his ministers' approval.

Li Lian was waiting for this moment, he stood up and said: "My Majesty, I have a doubt and would like to ask Duke Rui and Zhongshu Minister Gao for advice."

Seeing Li Lian standing up suddenly, Zhou Qin was also slightly taken aback. It was clear that the situation had been settled just now, how could this Li Lian stand up suddenly?

The emperor was very annoyed by the words of the officials who wanted to dismiss Zhang Yanjin, but Zhang Yanjin came and went with the same sentence, not at all like he used to be eloquent in the court, he keenly felt that there must be something weird in it However, there is no way to ask in detail in the court.

Naturally, he could also feel that Li Lian, Chen Derang, Zhang Zhongqian, Zhu Chigong, Zhang Yanjin and others were playing games with Zhou Qin, Gao Shijie, Huang Youze and others, but he was the superior emperor, He is the master of the development direction of the Great Wei Dynasty. Regarding these struggles above the court, even if he sees it, he will not point it out, let alone put himself in it.

The so-called places where there are people are bound to fight openly and secretly. If the battlefield is a battle between armies, then there is no game in the court.

As the emperor, he only needs to watch the fire from the other side, grasp the balance between two or more parties, and then choose the one that is beneficial to him and the Wei court. Because Zhang Yanjin can rebuild Zhongzhou better than others.

Seeing Li Lian stand up and speak this time, he naturally wanted to agree.

The emperor nodded slightly and said, "But it's okay to say."

"May I ask Duke Rui and Master Gao why they said that Zhang Yanjin is not up to the job?" Li Lian immediately asked.

Gao Shijie frowned, and said without hesitation: "Naturally, he abused his power and squeezed the people to do some useless things. He couldn't reasonably rebuild Zhongzhou, and regarded rebuilding Zhongzhou as a trifling matter!"

Zhou Qin then said: "Doing as one pleases will disturb the people of Zhongzhou. If the loss is not stopped in time, there may be chaos in Zhongzhou. Isn't the chaos in Danyang Village, Xinyang, and Nanyang happening on the border of Zhongzhou?"

Since Li Lian said so this time, although Zhou Qin was puzzled, he was still firm in his conclusion. After all, he had already reached the point where his words were rushed, and changing without authorization would affect his prestige.Furthermore, after investigating this matter, he was convinced that Zhang Yanjin would not be able to dig out any minerals.

"Why do whatever you want? Why abuse your power?"

After Li Lian asked questions repeatedly, he held up the wat board in his hand and said, "I want to report to the emperor, I think that I can't come to this conclusion without investigation, but in the court, Zhang Yanjin only said two sentences, and the rest are all based on other people's imagination. In conclusion, Weichen thinks, we still need to listen to what Zhang Yanjin has to say."

Li Lian's voice was loud and clear, without the slightest sloppiness, and pointed directly at the problem. Zhang Yanjin couldn't help but admire him when he heard it.

Zhang Yanjin pondered Li Lian's words carefully, and he admired Li Lian, Chen Derang, and his uncle Zhang Zhongqian!What is old ministers plotting the country, what is strategizing, this is it!

He thought that Huang Youze could only be dealt with at most in the imperial court today. Who knew that after what Li Lian said, although Zhou Qin and Gao Shijie could not be caused any great harm, from the aspect of their appointment But it can literally break off some of their wings!

Li Lian, Chen Derang, his uncle Zhang Zhongqian and Zhu Chigong kept silent at first, probably because they wanted to paralyze people like Gao Shijie and Zhou Qin again.

From the time Zhou Qin and Gao Shijie talked, they had already stepped into the trap, and Li Lian's questioning at this time was to close the net. In any case, according to the abilities of his uncle Zhang Zhongqian, Li Lian and Chen Derang, today is absolutely impossible. It will not make Gao Shijie and Zhou Qin feel better.

Zhang Yanjin guessed that Li Lian's accusation of "guessing" officials just now, coupled with Zhou Qin's refusal to recommend him before, and now "guessing" about his ability, is enough to show that Zhou Qin is not capable of employing people. With his uncle today, I am afraid that he will use this attack to cut off Zhou Qin and Gao Shijie's way of appointing people.

Even if it can't be completely cut off, at least Zhou Qin can be completely suppressed in the major personnel transfer in the future, right?

After all, it’s hard to catch the prey once, so no matter what, you have to take a bite of the meat, right?

With these people helping him with the layout, his performance can't be bad, can it?

"Okay, Zhang Yanjin, tell me, have you abused your power?" The emperor casually threw the question to Zhang Yanjin.

Zhang Yanjin raised the wat board in his hand and said: "Report to the emperor, I think that I have not abused my power. It is a fact that I organized the common people to dig Pingdingshan. It is also a fact that no minerals have been dug. But it is nonsense to let the common people dig rocks under the scorching sun." talk."

"Oh, how do you say that?" Seeing that Zhang Yanjin finally didn't just talk back and forth, the emperor became interested.
