It is said that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and this sentence is not false at all
The position of Right Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is vacant, and everyone thinks that the person who takes over this position is either Liu Feng, the Minister of Rites or Li Yan, the Minister of Personnel, but Emperor Chen chose Jingzhao Yin Sun Qian.
King Duan and King Kang competed with each other, but no one benefited. Thinking of the look of King Kang looking at him just now, it seemed that he was dissatisfied because he did not choose Li Yan. Tang Ning pulled the corner of his mouth. King Kang, a ungrateful wolf, used to give gifts. Since he came back from Chu and did not propose marriage for him, he has no expression. Now he is even more cold-eyed because of this small matter...
As it turns out, Tang Ning is still very accurate in his view of people. He thought that even the seemingly unreliable King Huai was more reliable than the two of them.
Waving goodbye to King Huai in front of the palace gate, when he returned home, he found that someone had arrived in the palace.
Emperor Chen is always so efficient in his work. There are several times when Tang Ning people have not returned from the palace and the reward has arrived.
Xiaoyi's wife's grade has improved with him, and has become a fourth-grade imperial edict, and Xiaoru has also become a fifth-grade imperial edict. Tang Ning noticed that his mother-in-law's eyes were a little envious, and his father-in-law could only use a dry cough to cover up the embarrassment.
Before, Emperor Chen had granted her a fifth-rank imperial edict because of her outstanding political achievements. However, Xiaoyi is now a fourth-rank, and her mother is not as good as her daughter. Naturally, she feels uncomfortable.
Xiao Jue has not accompanied Lu Ya recently, so he always runs to him. He walks from the pavilion to look at Tang Ning and asks: When I was looking for you just now, they said you have gone to the palace. What's your Majesty asking for you?
Tang Ning said: About slandering Liu Feng in the newspaper
Xiao Jue said in surprise: Did you admit it?
Tang Ning nodded and said: Acknowledge it
Xiao Jue asked: How did Your Majesty punish you, whether you are fined or suspended from your job?
No salary and no suspension, he was rewarded with some things... Tang Ning pointed to the piles of things that were piled in the yard, and said: They were all there
Xiao Jue paced around the yard for a few times, looked at him, and murmured: You said, "Your Majesty is crazy? If you did something wrong, he will not punish you, but will reward you... How can such a thing be done?
This is something that Xiao Jue is so uncomprehensible. In the eyes of the emperor, there is actually no clear boundary between mistakes and right, right and wrong. If you do something wrong, you will not be punished and rewarded. If you do something right, you will not be rewarded and punished. However, the old foxes in the court are well aware of this. Fortunately, Xiao Jue is a military general. If he fought wits and courage with those old foxes in the court, he would be killed by others in a few days without the protection of Emperor Chen.
I see
Xiao Jue touched his chin without a beard and said: This is called the emperor's mind technique. You don't have to reward merit. If you have too much credit and your achievements are too great, you will not have a good ending even if you have good credit. If you have nothing to do, you don't have to punish me. If you have only a small mistake, you will be rewarded without punishment, and you can win people's hearts...
Although Xiao Jue's understanding is a little shallow, the actual situation is much more complicated than this, he has no deviation in understanding. He retaliated against Liu Feng for the big competition, which is nothing in the eyes of Emperor Chen, but if he participates in party struggles and fights against dissidents for the position of Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the meaning will be completely different.
If it was the former, even if he beat Liu Feng, he would not be punished. If it was the latter, he might be thrown into the Heavenly Prison because he first stepped into the palace today...
Xiao Jue looked at Tang Ning with a thoughtful look on his face and said: You said, if Lu Ya and I caught Ling Feng and the others and beat him, will His Majesty also reward me?
……
As the end of the year approaches, there is no major event in the court. The only thing that can make everyone care about is who will take over the position of the Right Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Revenue manages money and the Ministry of Personnel manages power. If no accident occurs, the future will be more than one servant.
Obviously, in such an important position, neither Duan nor Kang were willing to let go. I didn’t know how many open and secret struggles I had experienced before, and wanted to arrange my own people in.
But no one expected that His Majesty did not choose Liu Feng, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Works. These two people who were the most popular and considered to be the most likely to take over as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, would still stay in their original position.
However, Jingzhao Yin Sun Qian, who was ignored by everyone, was transferred inexplicably. Jingzhao Yin's official position is not low and his power is not small, but he is really an aggrieved official. From the perspective of official position, this time it was a transfer, but in fact it was an abnormal promotion.
Your Majesty’s thoughts are really elusive…
The Tang family, Liu Feng stood with his hands down, his face full of despair. He thought that this time he was promoted to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but although there were some twists and turns in the middle, he quickly won the city back. But who would have thought that he would defend against Li Yan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, and could not defend against Jingzhao Yin Sun Qian...
This time, the layout that the Tang family valued very much failed. Even His Highness Duan went to the Tang family in person. Liu Feng looked up at the young man sitting in the main seat, and even his breathing slowed down a little.
How could it be Jingzhao Yin Sun Qian... Tang Qi was walking in the hall and murmured: In terms of qualifications, even if this position is not given to Mr. Liu, he should be given to Li Yan. It should not be Sun Qian...
Said it the opposite
Tang Huai picked up the teacup and said: When the news is released, the higher the Li Yan is praised, the less his Majesty will choose him. Even if His Majesty does not give this position to Li Yan, he should give it to Liu Feng. It should not be Sun Qian.
King Duan looked at Liu Feng with a calm face and said: I have to ask Mr. Liu, why did he provoke Tang Ning for no reason?
Tang Qi was stunned when he heard this, looked at King Duan and asked: What does this matter have to do with Tang Ning?
King Duan looked at Liu Feng and gritted his teeth and said: If you hadn't embarrassed him in public that day, how could he have revenged you at this moment? In order to show off his verbal advantage, he would have lost his position as the Minister of Personnel!
Tang Qi was confused when he heard this, and looked puzzled and asked: What's going on?
King Duan looked at him and said: Liu Feng embarrassed him in public that day, so he raised Li Yan in the newspaper, belittled Liu Feng, and messed up the matter. King Kang fought with me in the palace today on this reason, and even King Huai spoke for him. Perhaps because of this reason, his father gave up these two people and chose Sun Qian.
After hearing what King Duan said, Tang Qi looked at him in surprise and asked: He admitted this in front of His Majesty. Not only did His Majesty not punish him, but also rewarded him?
Liu Feng stared at King Duan in a daze, still a little unbelievable
Just because of his words that day, he actually retaliated in such a revenge. How stingy is this person?
What made him even more depressed was that he was obviously wronged, but His Majesty rewarded Tang Ning and wiped him out of his position as Minister of Personnel. Is there any law in the world?
It was a mistake. Tang Huai stood up and said: The more we fought, the more fierce we became, the more we lost our chances from His Majesty, which was a bargain.
Have the opportunity to test and see if he can win him over. Tang Qi thought about it and said: However, King Huai has always been mean, and this time he will actually help King Huai. You need to be careful of him in the future...
What was he careful about?
King Duan waved his hand and said: He has no confidant in the court, and he can't make any troubles. What needs to be careful is King Kang. He has repeatedly ruined our affairs. This account will be recovered sooner or later...
In the Kang Palace, King Kang also looked angry and said coldly: It is the same for me that my father chose Sun Qian or Li Yan, but I have already hinted to him just now. Even King Huai chose Li Yan, but he did not help me. Is this person really sincerely surrendering to me?
A middle-aged scholar beside King Kang looked at him and said: Your Highness doesn't know anything. Your Highness and King Duan can speak about this matter, but foreign ministers cannot. Otherwise, in your Majesty's eyes, it would be the most secure to participate in the party struggle.
He paused and said: From what Mr. Liu did this time, we can see that Lord Tang had a little trouble... some care. His Highness met him coldly this time, and I am afraid he would remember it in his heart. Once he had some grudges in his heart, it would be even more difficult to win him over again.
With his relationship with the Tang family and King Duan, does he dare to hold a grudge against me? Who else can he surrender besides me?
Since Tang Ning failed to propose marriage and returned from Chu, King Kang has been very dissatisfied with his performance. Today he was even more angry and waved: Tonight, please invite him over. I want to ask him what he is thinking!
……
King Kang invites a banquet? Tang Ning looked at the invitation handed over by the housekeeper of the King Kang's mansion and said lightly: If you don't go, just say I'm not available.
The position of Right Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is vacant, and everyone thinks that the person who takes over this position is either Liu Feng, the Minister of Rites or Li Yan, the Minister of Personnel, but Emperor Chen chose Jingzhao Yin Sun Qian.
King Duan and King Kang competed with each other, but no one benefited. Thinking of the look of King Kang looking at him just now, it seemed that he was dissatisfied because he did not choose Li Yan.
