Lantern Festival , the Tang Ning new years vacation has not rested, because then the matter was summoned the board of personnel. 元宵未至,唐宁的年假还没有休完,便又因事被召唤到了吏部。 This time has a serious matter, he as the board of personnel vice minister, cannot absent. 这次是有一件重大的事情,他作为吏部侍郎,不能缺席。 Chen sovereign went to Tang Huai the position of Ministry of Rites Shangshu, now the imperial civil service examination is about to begin, must elect a person to come up as soon as possible again, assumes Ministry of Rites. 陈皇把唐淮的礼部尚书之位去了,现在科举在即,必须尽快再选一个人上来,坐镇礼部。 Although the power of Ministry of Rites was truncated by Chen sovereign truncates again, but in the face must be able to pass, at this critical moment, position of vacancy Ministry of Rites Shangshu, scandalous. 虽然礼部的权力被陈皇一削再削,但面子上还要过得去,在这种关键时刻,礼部尚书之位空缺,不成体统。 Past time, a commanding officer vacancy, the royal government first considered that second in command who naturally is in the familiar section the business. 以往的时候,一部主官空缺,朝廷首先考虑的,自然是熟悉部中事务的二把手。 But former Ministry of Rites vice minister Liu wind because of the behavior issue, had been relegated outside the state, now Ministry of Rites vice minister is by the academician bachelor temporarily, in addition the Hanlinyuan that side is unbearably busy, moreover by the qualifications of scholar Zhou, but also is not enough to be competent the position of Shangshu. 可原礼部侍郎刘风因为生活作风问题,早就被贬谪到外州,现在礼部侍郎由翰林学士暂任,翰林院那边尚且忙不过来,而且以周学士的资历,还不足以胜任尚书之位。 The qualifications of scholar Zhou are insufficient, these doctors of Chinese medicine of Ministry of Rites and so on, naturally not in consideration. 周学士的资历都不足,礼部的那些郎中之类,自然也不在考虑之列。 Therefore, the new Ministry of Rites Shangshu, then must elect the person from other departments. 因此,新的礼部尚书,便要从其他部门选人。 The government position of this person is lowest cannot be lower than four, and must have certain qualifications in Imperial Court, this conformed to the promotion flow of official employed in the capital, the board of personnel has screened, satisfied the people of these two requests is not many. 此人的官职最低不能低于正四品,且要在朝中有一定的资历,这才符合京官的晋升流程,吏部已经筛选过了,满足这两个要求的人并不多。 Three official how many, each are one manages a household, will move, belongs to rob peter to pay paul . Moreover, in six, which isn't more important than Ministry of Rites? 正三品的官员就那么几个,各个都是一部当家,将之调过来,属于拆东墙补西墙,况且,六部之中,哪一部不比礼部更重要？ Let alone three, in the capital continually from three official not unnecessary, royal doctor, Dali Buddhist temple Sir/minister and the others, is a senior official, is not good to transfer. 别说正三品,京中连从三品官员都没有多余的,御史大夫,大理寺卿等人,也都是一部长官,不好调动。 Promotes three from four product Yuejie, this is the electing officer custom of royal government, this happen to from vice minister to Shangshu, from adjutant to commanding officer the road of entering step, as long as the potential official, Chen sovereign will put the four positions him, rather than from three. 从正四品越阶晋升正三品,这才是朝廷的选官习惯,这正好是从侍郎到尚书,从副官到主官的进阶之路,但凡有潜力的官员,陈皇会将他放到正四品的位置,而不是从三品。 Moreover, according to convention, book hanger-on, Shangshu saves, as well as board of personnel household section Ministry of War and other integral parts, the four adjutants have two, transfers one, will not affect the revolution of this section, happen to leapt the position for the successor. 而且,根据惯例,无论是中书门下,还是尚书都省,以及吏部户部兵部等重要部门,正四品的副官都有两个,调离一个,不会影响本部的运转,也正好为后来人腾下了位置。 Tang Ning enters the board of personnel yamen, then the palm bows to say firmly: „Sir Tang, Shangshu Sir in palace guard and others you.” 唐宁走进吏部衙门,便有一名掌固躬身道:“唐大人,尚书大人在衙内等您。” Tang Ning previous time runs into the noble concubine in the palace, in several of chatting, actually has set something, wants to come side Hong also to know at this moment. 唐宁上次在宫中遇到淑妃,闲聊的几句中,其实已经定下了某件事情,想来方鸿此刻也已经知道了。 The position of board of personnel Shangshu, making two bad people decide, this made Tang Ning have a being in cahoots feeling immediately. 吏部尚书的位置,让两个心怀不轨的人决定,这让唐宁顿时产生了一种狼狈为奸的感觉。 Tang Ning entered the Shangshu alley, the opposite party great wild goose arched cupping one hand in the other across the chest, said: „Sir side.” 唐宁走进尚书衙,对方鸿拱了拱手,说道:“方大人。” „Sir Tang is polite.” side Hong returns a courtesy submissively, poured one cup of tea personally, said: „Sir Tang sits.” “唐大人客气。”方鸿拱手回礼,亲自倒了一杯茶水,说道:“唐大人坐。” After Tang Ning sits down, he gives Tang Ning a folding booklet, said: „This is the Ministry of Rites Shangshu list of candidates that the board of personnel drafts, Sir Tang has a look.” 唐宁坐下之后,他将一张折子递给唐宁,说道:“这是吏部草拟的礼部尚书候选名单,唐大人看看。” Tang Ning turns on the folding booklet, on this many names he is very strange, he only took a walk in six for these years, regarding three officials of provinces and other departments, is not familiar. 唐宁打开折子,这上面的很多名字他都很陌生,他这几年只在六部走动,对于三省和其他部门的官员,并不熟悉。 He looks to arrange at forefront one person, asked: „Is this Sir Shen Yeshen, what kind of person?” 他看着排在最前面的一人,问道:“这沈业沈大人,是何许人也？” side Hongdao: „Sir Shen is the palace gate vice minister, holds public office at the chancellery.” 方鸿道:“沈大人是黄门侍郎,供职门下省。” Tang Ning looks at side Hong, asked: „Does this Sir Shen, have the friendship with Sir side?” 唐宁看着方鸿,问道:“这位沈大人,和方大人有交情？” side Hong looks at Tang Ning, somewhat embarrassed saying: „Sir Shen and I am the same year successful candidate, the personal friendship am good.” 方鸿看着唐宁,有些不好意思的说道:“沈大人和我是同年进士,私交还算不错。” The Fang Family two brothers, are entirely different, side Zhe is the type of that dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, side Hong personality some are straight, but, since Zhao Yuan planned to struggle the position, side Hong even were again honest, if also not after him paved the way, on the contrary seemed stupid. 方家兄弟二人,性格截然不同,方哲属于那种死猪不怕开水烫的类型,方鸿性格则有些偏直,不过,既然赵圆都打算争位了,方鸿即便是为人再正直,若是还不为他以后铺路,反倒显得愚蠢。 But paves the way must be fastidious about the method, trades to be side Zhe, absolutely will not do is so obvious. 但铺路也要讲究方法,换做方哲,就绝对不会做的这么明显。 In the list of board of personnel, first naturally is vigorously the person of election, only if Chen sovereign has what discontented to him, generally will not elect in addition, but will actually consider many things, including this person parties relatives and friends wait/etc, therefore, this candidate must be especially prudent. 吏部的名单里,第一位自然是极力推选的人,除非陈皇对他有什么不满,一般不会另选,但却会考虑许多事情,包括此人的党派亲朋等等,因此,这一人选要格外慎重。 Tang Ning visits him, shakes the head, said: „Although outside lifts does not evade the enmity, practices nepotism does not evade to kiss, but rather some people chew the root of the tongue in the back, Sir side not suitable places first him, otherwise was your majesty looked, will have some ideas at heart.” 唐宁看着他,摇了摇头,说道:“虽说外举不避仇,内举不避亲,但未免有人在背后嚼舌根,方大人不宜将他放在第一位,否则便是陛下看了,心里也会生出些许想法。” Side Hong complexion slightly red, lowers the head, said: „Does that depend on seeing of Sir Tang?” 方鸿脸色微红,低下头,说道:“那依唐大人之见呢？” „It is not anxious.” Tang Ning beckons with the hand, looks to the second name, asked: „Who this simultaneous/uniform is grand?” “不急。”唐宁摆了摆手,看向第二个名字,问道:“这个齐隆又是谁？” side Hong explained: „Sir simultaneous/uniform is in Shangshu vice minister Si, reigns for more than ten years, the wind comments good.” 方鸿解释道:“齐大人是尚书中司侍郎,在位十多年,风评甚好。” Asking that Tang Ning comes straight to the point: „Relations with Fang Family?” 唐宁开门见山的问道:“与方家的关系呢？” side Hongdao: „Nodding acquaintance.” 方鸿道:“点头之交。” Position of Ministry of Rites Shangshu, although no uses greatly, but the critical moment, can actually be many some rights to speak, naturally is arranges the person on one's own side to feel relieved. 礼部尚书的位置,虽然没有什么大用,但关键时刻,却能多些话语权,自然是安排自己人放心。 Since has set the goal of snatching the throne, Tang Ning and side Hong spoke, did not need to beat around the bush. 既然已经确立了夺嫡的目标,唐宁和方鸿说话,也就不用那么拐弯抹角了。 The damon and pythias cannot elect, will otherwise cause Chen sovereign suspicion, before Zhao Yuan has the strength of snatching the throne, this matter cannot happen absolutely. 莫逆之交不能选,不然会引起陈皇的怀疑,在赵圆具备夺嫡的实力之前,这件事情绝对不能发生。 It‘s nothing the person of relations cannot elect, otherwise then wasted this time opportunity in vain. 没什么关系的人也不能选,否则便是白白浪费了这次的机会。 But this name list on person, after side Hong gives him to introduce, Tang Ning discovered, besides that Sir Shen, others, has no long-standing and deep-rooted friend with Fang Family. 可这名录的上的人,方鸿一个个给他介绍完之后,唐宁才发现,除了那位沈大人之外,其余的人,都和方家没有什么深交。 If so, wants not making a sound gives this Sir Shen the position arrangement of Ministry of Rites Shangshu, but was not quite easy. 若是这样,想要不声不响的将礼部尚书的位置安排给这位沈大人,可就不太容易了。 Tang Ning brow slightly pressed, looks at the last person of name, asked: „stretch/open Yan, this name founds somewhat familiar, is which Sir Imperial Court?” 唐宁眉头微蹙,看着最后一人的名字,问道:“张延,这个名字听起来有些耳熟,是朝中哪位大人？” side Hongdao: „Sir stretch/open is the book vice minister, opens wide bachelor's son, but, Fang Family and Zhang, always have no communication......” 方鸿道:“张大人是中书侍郎,张大学士之子,不过,方家和张家,向来都没有什么来往……” „Wait......” Tang Ning lifts the hand to interrupt side Hong the words, asked: „Do Imperial Court have several official scholars surnamed Zhang?” “等等……”唐宁抬手打断方鸿的话,问道:“朝中有几个姓张的大学士？” side Hong thinks, said: „One.” 方鸿想了想,说道:“就一位。” Tang Ning is pointing at stretch/open Yan the name, said: „He!” 唐宁指着张延的名字,说道:“就他了！” ...... …… Govern study room. 御书房。 Chen sovereign opens the folding booklet that the board of personnel hands over, the expression slightly different, said: „We think that he will place first Shen Ye, after all they are the same year successful candidate, the personal friendship are also good, cannot think, he arrived at Shen Yepai unexpectedly end.” 陈皇翻开吏部递上来的折子,表情微异,说道:“朕以为他会将沈业放在第一位,毕竟他们是同年进士,私交也还算不错,想不到,他居然将沈业排到了最末。” He looks at the name ranked the first, asked: „Who stretch/open Yan is, sounds somewhat familiar-sounding......” 他看着位列第一的名字,问道:“张延是谁,听起来有些耳熟……” Wei Jiandao: „Returns to your majesty, Sir stretch/open opens wide bachelor's son, at present holds public office at the secretariat.” 魏间道:“回陛下,张大人是张大学士之子,眼下供职中书省。” „Originally is Zhang.” Chen sovereign looks color suddenly, said: „The Zhang family cultivates the behavior for the officer is always low-key, the solemn book vice minister, We have no impression unexpectedly......” “原来是张家。”陈皇面露恍然之色,说道:“张家人做人为官向来低调,堂堂中书侍郎,朕居然没有什么印象……” Wei gap/between smiles, said: „Opening wide the bachelor family education is stern, the Zhang family is also low-key, your majesty forgot, in the past publicized the bachelor to punish your majesty to endorse, your majesty could not carry by punishing, then went to first sovereign there to complain......” 魏间笑了笑,说道:“张大学士家教森严,张家人也都低调,陛下忘记了,当年张大学士罚陛下背书,陛下背不出来受了罚,便去先皇那里告状……” Remembered the past past events, Chen sovereign shakes the head, on the face showed the smile, said: „No wonder no wonder, he opens wide bachelor's son, that is not then strange.” 想起当年的往事,陈皇摇了摇头,脸上露出笑容,说道:“难怪难怪,他是张大学士之子,那便不奇怪了。” „side Aiqing works, is calm as always.” Chen sovereign thinks, said: „The Zhang family knows to defend the ritual, making him waste time in the secretariat, goes to Ministry of Rites would rather, that position is more suitable he, making Hanlinyuan plan the aim......” “方爱卿做事,还是一如既往的沉稳。”陈皇想了想,说道:“张家人知节守礼,让他在中书省蹉跎,倒不如去礼部,那个位置才更适合他,让翰林院拟旨吧……” Wei gap/between bows saying: „Obeys the aim.” 魏间躬身道:“遵旨。” He withdraws from the main hall slowly, bumps into gives Zhao Yuan who Chen sovereign delivers the soup personally. 他缓缓退出大殿,碰巧遇到亲自给陈皇送汤的赵圆。 Wei gap/between footsteps, looked suddenly to Zhao Yuan, asked low voice: „How recently to see the Zhang little miss to follow side your highness?” 魏间脚步顿了顿,忽而看向赵圆,小声问道:“近日怎么不见张家小姑娘跟在殿下身边了？” Zhao Yuanpie shot a look at the mouth, said: „That is you have not seen, I also played yesterday together with Elder Sister Zhang Jia......” 赵圆瞥了瞥嘴,说道:“那是你没看见,我昨天还跟张家姐姐一起玩来着……”
