Chapter 956: Interview (Part 2)

Emperor Longqing was so happy after hearing this, "Master Gao doesn't know how to say it, so he will say it in person."

Qian Yuan shrugged, this is the truth. Gao Gong's temperament would curse in front of others even if he cursed.

"Suiyuan really wants to be the prefect of Ningbo?"

"If Your Majesty agrees, I will rob it; if Your Majesty does not agree, I will not rob it." Qian Yuan said indifferently: "If you don't care about your hometown, Chen Dengzhi is indeed the most suitable candidate."

"The business accounts are all new-style accounts, and they don't use abacus. They use simplified numbers. Except for Suiyuan, only officials from the Ministry of Revenue in Beijing understand."

"And Chen Dengzhi once went south to linger in Zhenhai, knowing business affairs well, and being honest and never greedy."

After a pause, Qian Yuan changed the subject, "But if you consider your hometown, Chen Dengzhi is indeed not suitable."

"I was originally from Yuyao County next door to Ningbo Prefecture, and the Chen family in Yuyao is a local family. His father, Chen Jiqing, was a Jinshi during the Zhengde period. He became the left deputy censor of the Nanjing Censorate. The Chen family also participated in the sea trade. Every six months, a fleet went to sea to sell goods."

Emperor Longqing was obviously satisfied with Qian Yuan's frankness and said casually: "Speaking of this, if you really need to carefully select the prefect of Ningbo..."

"That's it, the best prefect in the world." Qian Yuan tentatively said: "Your Majesty, look..."

"You are not allowed to serve in the hometown. This is the clear rule of the Ministry of Personnel. Besides, it is not a war." Emperor Longqing stood up lazily with his hands on the bed, "Forget it, give Zhan Cai this face."

Qian Yuan was at a loss for a moment, but he didn't expect Emperor Longqing to give face like this... After all the things last year, he would no longer regard the Emperor Huairou as a little white rabbit, and he had some scheming and tricks. Could it be that he would allow Suiyuan to continue to control business affairs openly?

Emperor Longqing stood up and walked a few steps with the help of his maid, and smiled sly: "But whether you can pass the cabinet level depends on Zhancai's ability."

Qian Yuan shrank like a ball that had been poked a hole, "Your Majesty... is this joking about me."

Just kidding, now that the cabinet Gao Gong and Xu Jie regard Suiyuan as their enemy, how could Chen Younian pass this level?

"I'm joking about you?"

Qian Yuan tilted his head and looked elsewhere, obviously not convinced.

Emperor Longqing laughed and scolded, "Zhancai is so fond of being favored and charming!"

This word is used... Qian Yuan was speechless.

Emperor Longqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Chen Fan, let the Ministry of Personnel recommend three people to the cabinet tomorrow, and the cabinet ministers will discuss the vote."

"Affect the emperor's order."

"Show talent?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qian Yuan thanked him listlessly.

"Okay, everything is over, let's try what you said last time... Gozi Chess." Emperor Longqing pointed at the chessboard with great enthusiasm, "I have thought about it these days."

After Qian Yuan won fifteen consecutive games of Wuzi and left Xiyuan, within two hours, the relevant information had already spread in the six departments and six disciplines.

When choosing a prefect of Ningbo, you must carefully choose, be able to do things, be honest and proficient in new accounts...

Gao Gong, who was in the straight house, pulled Chen Hong, who came to pass on his own, without any hesitation, "But Qian Yuan meets with him?"

"Uh..." Chen Hong had a bitter face, "Your Majesty found a chess book in the book pavilion..."

"It's a good person to be charming!" Gao Gong scolded: "Your Majesty should work hard to govern, how can you play with your ministers every day!"

Chen Hong's steps moved slightly, and he glanced at Xu Jie who was silent from the corner of his eyes. Gao Gong snorted coldly and walked out with a big striking move.

After leaving the house, Gao Gong stopped and said, "Tell me."

"Your Majesty ordered the Ministry of Personnel to recommend three people to the cabinet. Today, Chen Dengzhi of the Ministry of Revenue..."

Gao Gong groaned, it was obviously His Majesty's instructions, otherwise the Ministry of Personnel could defeat Chen Younian just by not being able to become an official in the hometown.

"There are other ones?"

"It's gone." Chen Hong thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Gaoge, Your Majesty attaches great importance to taxes and silver. He said that the Ningbo prefect needs to be carefully selected... Although Dr. Lu entered the Ministry of Revenue, he had not been in the foreign office and had only been in the Ministry of Revenue for more than a month."

Gao Gong was silent for a while and nodded, "Go."

As a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, he is not the chief minister of the Cabinet. He is arbitrarily driving the inner minister Chen Hong, and Gao Gong's domineering arrogance is shocking.

When he came back to the house, Gao Gong sat at the table and thought carefully, he could only recommend three people to the imperial court. His nephew Zhang Mengnan must be one, Chen Younian was one, and there was one...

Gao Gong's eyes fell on Xu Jie unconsciously. Lu Huang had been rejected by His Majesty. The rumors of denounced himself for seizing the votes during this period were becoming more and more exaggerated. It would be better to give this place to Xu Jie.

After a brief conversation, Xu Jie looked at Gao Gong, showed a kind smile and lowered his head. He did not plan to steal the position of Ningbo Prefect, although Hu Yingjia was very suitable.

If Gao Gong can be successfully pulled down, what would a Ningbo prefect do?

Of course, Xu Jie would not refuse Gao Gong's kindness.

On the afternoon of the same day, Yang Bo, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Personnel, personally delivered the memorial to the cabinet, recommending Zhang Mengnan, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice, Hu Yingjia, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, and Chen Younian, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, who have not yet been appointed, the three of them are selected as the prefect of Ningbo.

After the news came out, the capital was in a hurry. Zhang Mengnan and Hu Yingjia had nothing to say, but it was really surprising that Chen Younian was selected... The Ministry of Personnel did not care about Chen Younian's hometown in Yuyao, Shaoxing. Could it be that Tianguan Yang Bo and Suiyuan had such a good relationship?

Of course, more people speculate that Qian Zhancai is really Jian Zai Zhen.

"Uncle, don't worry, the big thing is settled." Qian Yuan rubbed his eyebrows and teased his son in his wife's arms while eating. "I'm over one year old, so why are you still holding him every day!"

Xiaoqi sneered: "I heard that my husband can't walk even when he is three years old."

"Nonsense!" Qian Yuan glanced at Tan.

"I remember I could walk after I was over one year old." Huang recalled.

"I will run away at the age of three." Tan added.

Qian Yuan glared at his wife, saying less of this in the future... I really learned to walk at the age of three in my previous life, but how did she know about this?

"Ahem." Qian Zheng and others were impatient, "Yuan'er, how can you say that the big thing has been decided?"

"Although Chen Dengzhi is an alternative, who will be elected must be the cabinet vote. Is it the most suitable thing for Gao Xinzheng and Xu Huating to vote for Chen Dengzhi?"

"Of course not." Qian Yuan smiled, "I'm just looking at it."

Then, Qian Yuan added in his heart, and then we will see if what he said in his uncle Tan Lun is accurate.

When he returned to Suiyuan, Qian Yuan specially asked Peng Feng to pay another bonus to the two tired guards.

Suiyuan wanted to grab the Ningbo prefect...it was too difficult, even Emperor Longqing was unwilling to accept it. Qian Yuan knew very well.

Therefore, after the news of Tang Shunzhi's death came to Beijing, Gao Gong immediately released the news that Zhang Mengnan was interested, Qian Yuan immediately sent a guard to Yihuang and brought back a secret letter from Tan Lun when he returned.

Qian Yuan had already let go of his worries and had done everything he could. The next step was to see what God would do, but even if Zhang Mengnan succeeded, it might not necessarily mean Gao Gong succeeded.

It would be fine if Zhang Mengnan was obedient. If things were not in line, don’t blame me for being too ruthless.

Xu Wei, Sun Yan and even Zheng Ruozeng in the south all mentioned it openly or secretly, if you want to avoid losing your power, some private means... you still have to use it.
