Huang Jin commanded the two little eunuchs and slowly pulled the curtain open, so that the king and his ministers could meet each other directly.

Xu Jie seemed to be standing outside in a regular manner, with no flaw in his expression. No one could see through his heart at this moment, nor could he know whether he would take any action.

In this officialdom, the most unabashed thing is disguise. Xu Jie was able to defeat Yan Song, because on the one hand, Yan Song was really old, and on the other hand, Xu Jie was very good at disguise.

Jiajing seemed to look at Xu Jie in an exploratory manner, but he happened to meet Xu Jie's gaze, but he naturally spoke first: "Xu Aiqing, you are here just in time!"

"Please give me the order!" Xu Jie immediately put aside his intention and bowed respectfully.

Jiajing leaned comfortably on the soft collapse, his eyes fell on Xu Jie and said, "The Minister of Personnel is vacant, and the Beijing Inspection has not been completed yet. I wonder who can take on this great task?"

When he encountered such a thing in his early years, he would ask the officials below to hold court recommendations, but now he has already decided on his word and is too lazy to hold that dispensable procedure again.

As soon as these words were spoken, Huang Jin, Feng Bao and others' faces became solemn, and they looked at Xu Jie quietly, wondering what kind of candidate he would recommend to serve as the Minister of Personnel.

Xu Jie naturally had a candidate in his heart, but for many years he had been in the officialdom, he asked respectfully: "But I wonder if the emperor already has a candidate he wants?"

"There are only a few people who can take on this great task, and no one can do it!" Jiajing was very satisfied with Xu Jie's style of doing things, and seemed to withdraw his gaze casually. Then he reported two candidates and said, "But I don't know Dong Fen

How about Yang Bo?”

After wandering around for a long time, I still had a tendency to choose.

"The situation in the southeast is unstable now, and Yang Bo still has to stay in the Ministry of War. He must not be transferred!" Xu Jie's face was solemn, and he immediately denied Yang Bo.

Jiajing listened to Xu Jie's analysis and nodded with great concern. Yang Bo really could not be transferred at this time. However, no matter how the personnel were allocated, the stability of the Ming Dynasty was the top priority.

Jiajing also denied Yang Bo in his heart, so he asked seriously again: "Where is Dongfen?"

Dong Fen has sufficient qualifications and is very loyal, and still holds a position in the Ministry of Personnel. Now that he is the Minister of Personnel, he can undoubtedly take over this job well.

Huang Jinxin knew that the emperor's heart was Dong Fen, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and that Dong Fen was capable and qualified to be the Minister of Personnel, so he looked at Xu Jie without a trace.

Xu Jie wanted to recommend Yan Ne, so he naturally wanted to dispel Jiajing's idea, so he replied with a serious face: "The Minister of Personnel is not included in the selection. Although this is an off-the-scenes rule, it is easy to be arrogant. Please

The Lord thinks twice!”

When Jiajing heard Xu Jie's objection, his brows frowned slightly, but then a solemn look appeared on his face.

This is a cliché that the Minister of Personnel is not included in the election, but it is easy to give birth to arrogant people but it is not a false one.

Li Mo and Guo Pu both moved to the Minister of Personnel as the Left Minister of Personnel. The former criticized him for being accused of the poor, while the latter committed the evil deeds of hiding the deceased. If Dong Fen was placed in the position of Minister of Personnel.

, it is likely that he is the third arrogant person.

As soon as he thought about this, he knew that Xu Jie had thought more thoroughly and was indeed not suitable to promote the candidates as the Left Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Jiajing was convinced seven or eight points in his heart. Seeing that the two people in his heart had problems with their choices, he turned to Xu Jie and asked, "Xu Aiqing, who do you think is suitable for this great task?"

Huang Jin saw Jiajing's changes, but couldn't help but turn his head and look at Xu Jie in admiration.

Xu Jie looked like he was serving the country and the people, bowed to Jiajing and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I suggest that Yan Ne, the Minister of Rites, take over as Minister of Personnel! Yan Ne has always had talent and specializes in affairs when he entered the officialdom.

You can take this great task!"

"Aren't you afraid that someone would say you want to form a village party?" Jiajing looked at Xu Jie with a smile.

Huang Jin swallowed secretly and vomited, Xu Jie recommended Yan Ne as the Minister of Personnel, which was to become the second Yan Song.

"Report to the emperor, I have always been a talented person who is not evading relatives! If I do my best for the family, I will definitely be a brother in the capital and recommend my son to the six ministers. Please let the emperor take a clear look!" Xu Jie said clearly.

But I have to admit that Xu Jie did not give much help in treating his family.

His younger brother Xu Zhi was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing, but he has been an official in Nanjing. His grandson-in-law was not treated preferentially in the Hanlin Academy. His son Xu Fan's exam this time was mediocre.

Now that he has revealed these facts, it undoubtedly adds a lot of persuasion.

Jiajing was moved in his heart, and even made a decision, so he stopped negotiating the topic and asked Xu Jie, "Xu Aiqing, what are you doing to me?"

"Please take a look!" Xu Jie's face narrowed, and he took out a notebook from his wide sleeve and presented it.

Huang Jin turned his head and looked at Jiajing. Seeing that there was nothing strange on Jiajing's face, he went forward to take Xu Jie's book and presented it to Jiajing.

Jiajing took the book and was in a good mood, but the more he looked through it, the more he looked, the more he looked solemn. He suddenly looked up at Xu Jie and asked seriously: "This year, the tax on Guangdong salt is only 200,000 taels of input?"

"That's right!" Xu Jie nodded with certainty.

"What explanation does Wu Shan give?" Jiajing asked with a questioning with blue veins rising from his face.

Huang Jin and Feng Bao looked at Jiajing so angry, and looked at the book curiously, but they didn't know what it was in.

"I immediately reported this to the emperor when I discovered this and had never confronted him!" Xu Jie said loyally.

"It's really like a crow in the world. One or two of them are hypocrites!" Jiajing threw the notebook on the ground angrily, and said with anger on his face.

Even though he couldn't say that his impression of Wu Shan was very good, it was definitely not bad.

After all, it is rare to have a minister like Wu Shan who adheres to his original intention in this court. This is also true. Although he has not allowed Wu Shan to enter the pavilion so far, he values ​​Wu Shan very much.

But I never expected that there was no difference between Wu Shan following others, and it was even more disgusting.

Whether it was Xu Jie or Guo Pu, who had already left the job, was not considered honest, but he was still an open-minded person. On the other hand, Wu Shan was on one side and secretly the other side, and he actually reached his hand to the inner treasury of the Ming Dynasty.

The fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty was mainly grain tax and salt tax. This year, Huai salt has been reduced by one million taels, but Guangdong salt has not received preferential treatment. As a result, Guangdong salt paid only 200,000 taels, which is a big cut compared to last year.

.

Naturally, Guangdong salt cannot be compared with Huai salt, but mosquito meat is also meat, and no one can tolerate any injustice. With this, it is not an exaggeration to kill the father-in-law and son-in-law.

"The finances of the imperial court are related to the foundation of the country. Please ask the emperor to judge!" Xu Jie saw Jiajing's anger and added another fire.

Jiajing's face became colder and colder, and he immediately issued an order: "Transfer to Wushan!"

A hint of joy flashed through Xu Jie's eyes. Not to mention that Wu Shan had completely lost his fate with the Minister of Personnel, he might also be in trouble. There would be no more Wu Shujing in this court.
Chapter completed!
