Zhu Youzhang thought about it repeatedly and finally nodded and agreed: "Since that's the case, I'll entrust Chen Qing's family to be the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue and receive a second-rank salary!"

Without obtaining the consent of most of the ministers present, Zhu Youzhang unilaterally decided to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Who knew that as soon as his words fell, Li Dongyang beside Liu Jian had already stepped forward, bowed hurriedly and protested: "Your Majesty, this matter is not possible!"

The emperor has decided on the matter, and in theory, the ministers shall not raise any objections.

However, in this dynasty, Emperor Hongzhi's speech was often refuted by his ministers. According to past experience, if no one raised any objections, it would seem that the emperor was acting hasty, and the ministers were too lazy to speak out. Looking back, there were probably countless memorials and statements that were inappropriate.

In fact, after Zhu Youzhang spoke, he realized that his decision might have been a bit hasty.

The main reason is that the previous incident of Chen Xi's troops offering prisoners was shocking. In addition, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but want to find a good place for Chen Xi in the court and reward the meritorious officials. If this is the case, it would be impossible to clearly determine the reward and punishment.

But the problem is that Chen Xi was too young and was not enough to hold a few official positions like the Liudu Department, so it is no wonder that someone came out to refute it.

Zhu Youzing looked at Li Dongyang helplessly. In fact, he didn't want to listen to Li Dongyang's opinions. First of all, Li Dongyang is a representative of the civil service group and has always been advancing and retreating together with Liu Jian. Before, Liu Jian had advised the emperor that once he resigned as the chief minister, he would ask Li Dongyang to take over his position.

In fact, it is not necessary for Liu Jian to say that Zhu Youzhang already had this plan, because Liu Jian had reached the age of having to abdicate and give up the wise. Li Dongyang entered the cabinet earlier than Xie Qian. After that, no matter who added to the cabinet, Li Dongyang, who had a higher qualification, should undoubtedly replace Liu Jian's position.

Li Dongyang is now standing up and speaking out against him, which basically means that both the current chief minister and the successor chief minister stand opposite to the emperor.

Zhu Youzing asked unhappily: "Mr. Li, do you have a better job to arrange for Chen Qing's family?"

Li Dongyang was about to come to Chen's opinion when he suddenly heard the emperor's question and was slightly stunned because the emperor said this very cleverly, with several meanings in it.

The emperor first called him "Mr.", which means to express respect for him... Since you are a Mr., you should give some constructive opinions. Don't always talk about the young Chen Xi. Even if you are younger, you will make great contributions and must be praised! What I want now is to convince people with reason, rather than by your outdated rules.

The emperor said that he would find a better job to Chen Xi, emphasizing that you can oppose Chen Xi as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but you have to arrange an official position for him that both I and Shen Xi are satisfied!

Li Dongyang had a high political awareness. The words he had originally wanted to say suddenly became a little difficult to speak. He glanced at Liu Jian subconsciously and then replied: "Your Majesty, Chen Xi is not weak this year. Although he has made achievements outside, he is not enough to take on the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. It is better to transfer to Huguang outside to guard the local area and strengthen military construction!"

The civil servant group has always been the principle of exiling dissidents to other places, allowing them to go to places with high mountains and far away from the emperor, and not allowing these people to be involved in the core of power.

Chen Xi has now been regarded as the key target of attack by Liu Jian and Li Dongyang. Their purpose is very clear. Chen Xi can continue to be the governor, but there is no way to return to the capital!

Although Liu Jian and Li Dongyang had talked about the lack of officials in Chenxi before, after thinking about it, it was most appropriate to transfer Chenxi outside the place.

The job of the Minister of Revenue easily allowed Chen Xi to take the core power of the court at a young age, and in their eyes, Chen Xi is not currently qualified to become a top civil official.

Zhu Youzhang's face looked very bad. He had already hinted to Li Dongyang and told Li Dongyang not to speak randomly, but it seemed that Li Dong** had no regard for the dignity of his emperor.

Zhu Youzhe frowned and looked at Liu Jian, and asked in a low voice: "Shaofu Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Jian suddenly became the target of public criticism. He actually understood in his heart that the purpose of the emperor staying in Chenxi in the court was probably to check and balance him and break the iron-clad situation of the civil servant group. Therefore, he was not suitable for speaking, but he was unwilling to let a seventeen-year-old boy violated the tradition of civil servant group's seniority.

Liu Jian came out in a trembling manner to salute, and then said, "Old minister... has no objection!"

Liu Jian did not say that he had no objection to the emperor's opinion or Li Dongyang's opinion. After he finished speaking, many ministers next to him were thinking, saying that the slickness was the Grand Secretary of Xie Qian and Xie, who was You Kankan. It turned out that the real old fox was this.

Zhu Youting pretended that he didn't hear Liu Jian's words, looked at Xie Qian and asked, "What do Xie Qing's family think?"

Xie Qian felt very embarrassed and thought to himself that everyone knew that Chenxi's child was recommended step by step. Now, if you ask me about my opinion, is Your Majesty planning to reuse Chenxi or to send him out? If it is a delivery, I will directly agree with Li Binzhi's idea, so how can I ask me?

Xie Qian hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is indeed inappropriate for Chen Xi to be appointed as the Six Ministry of Ministry of Revenue. However, someone will always take over as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Now that the war with the Tatars is about to end, the Ministry of Revenue in the capital is in deficit, someone needs to come out to take charge of the management. If Grand Secretary Li thinks that Chen Xi is not suitable for this job, but he doesn't know who is suitable?"

Li Dongyang didn't expect that Xie Qian would follow his own words at the beginning, but in the end he had a problem with himself. He almost blurted out and said Wang Shouren's name.

Among so many "young" juniors in the court, his most optimistic attitude was Wang Shouren. Wang Shouren also made contributions to the battle against Tatars.

Moreover, Wang Shouren has always worked in the six ministries, first observing politics in the Ministry of Works, then serving as a member of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice. He also went to Jiangxi and Huguang in the middle. It can be said that he had gained experience and enriched his resume when he went out. Although it was a bit risky to let Wang Shouren succeed as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue as the doctor of the Ministry of War, in Li Dongyang's opinion, Wang Shouren is much more suitable than Chen Xi.

But Li Dongyang thought again, in terms of credit, Wang Shouren is far inferior to Shen Xi.

In terms of fame and fortune, Chen Xi and Wang Shouren were both Jinshi in the 12th year of Hongzhi, but Chen Xi was the top scholar in the Sanyuan period and had a prominent reputation.

In terms of qualifications, Chen Xi has fought many wars in recent years, and has made many achievements in the local area. He is much stronger than Wang Shouren. Chen Xi even has experience working in the Hanlin Academy, and is a well-known teacher of the prince.

In terms of the vacancy of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Wang Shouren has no advantage over Chen Xi.

Zhu Youzhang didn't know what Li Dongyang was thinking, and asked coldly: "Sir Li, why don't you speak?"

Because Li Dongyang "don't know anything about the face", Zhu Youzhang changed his name to Li Dongyang. This small change in name made many ministers present understand... The emperor is now very dissatisfied with Li Dongyang's previous opposition, and can even be said to be angry.

Li Dongyang came to his senses, thought for a moment, and said, "Wang Yan, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing, is a good person in charge of the dispatch of the money and grain warehouses. The subordinates think that it is safest to use this person to enter the capital!"

Li Dongyang suddenly recommended Wang Yan, and Zhu Youtang was stunned for a while. After careful consideration, he realized who Li Dongyang was talking about.
