Chapter 514 The Invisible Hand
Yan Song finally arrived in the capital. Under the strong recommendation of the scholar Xia Yan, Emperor Jiajing received Yan Song in Wenhua Hall.

Old Wenqing Yan Song was still admired by Emperor Jiajing from his image to his style of conversation, so he issued an order to reward Yan Song.

After the news came out, the ministers knew that in the competition for the Minister of Rites, Zhan Ruoshui, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites who had no favor from the emperor, had actually been eliminated.

Even if you, Zhan Ruoshui, can stand out in the court push, when it is sent to the emperor for imperial approval, it is very likely that you will still be rejected.

This is Xia Yan's conspiracy, the university scholar, to follow the highest-level line and suppress different opinions.

At this time, the only person who can compete with Yan Song for the Minister of Rites is Huo Tao, the censor of the left capital.

Although Huo Tao said that he doesn't want this Minister of Rites at all!But there are always people who make fun of Yangzi.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the second round of court push, and the officials from all walks of life got up early and rushed to Dongchaofang.

Wang Tingxiang walked into the yard and looked up at the sky. The weather is still good today.When walking out, I heard a few magpies calling again.

Then, just outside the gate, I saw Zuo Zanshan who was also writing Qin Dewei.

Wang Tingxiang is not an idiot, he has already recollected Qin Dewei's last behavior.

To use an analogy, it's like looking for a photo with a celebrity five hundred years later, and Wang Tingxiang is the one who was rubbed.

"Why are you here again?" Wang Tingxiang asked with a bit of disgust.

Qin Dewei said enthusiastically: "I just passed by, and I happened to meet the old man! We happened to be walking together!"

Wang Ting said flirtatiously: "You don't want to participate in the court push! The old man can go there by himself!"

You, Qin Dewei, have to figure it out, the old man may not be with you today!

Qin Dewei sighed, and said sadly: "I think back when the seniors first arrived in the capital, they didn't even accept you as an eight-talented Jiajing scholar, and a bunch of young people in their twenties stepped on you to gain fame.

At that time, senior, you were a corporal, and I valued you so much, you would force your junior to help you earn face wherever you went.

Now that three or four years have passed, the old man has become popular, and the two ministers have joined the governor of the Beijing camp, but he is not even willing to walk with the younger generation.

No wonder others say, Guiyiyou."

Wang Tingxiang took a deep breath, silently said "It's wrong to beat the Imperial Academy", and got into the sedan chair.

Qin Dewei got on his horse and walked alongside the sedan chair. Mr. Wang's followers knew Qin Dewei well, so they didn't chase him away.

Arriving at the right gate of Chang'an, dismounting from the horse and sedan chair to register, Qin Dewei still closely followed Wang Tingxiang.

Although Wang Tingxiang remained silent the whole time with a dark face, Qin Dewei deliberately raised his finger to the east and west, talking to himself endlessly beside him.

It's just that in the eyes of others, Wang Tingxiang and Qin Dewei seem to be talking while walking, and the picture is very harmonious.

For sure, these two people must be planning Tingtui together again.

Until Wang Tingxiang entered the Dongchao room, he finally felt that the world was much cleaner.Although there were dozens of people in the Dongchao room, it was really cleaner than Qin Dewei alone.

Seeing that the number of people was almost the same, Zhou Yong, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, began to preside over the court push.

San Qiao, a senior censor in charge, suggested: "Now it's not just the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites that are vacant, but the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing is also vacant. Why don't we discuss it together?"

It sounds like a normal proposal, nothing strange, Nanjing Ministry of Rites Shangshu is also a Shangshu, of course they can be recommended together.

Immediately, some smart people thought they had discovered the truth, and it seemed that it would be beneficial to Huo Tao to finalize the new candidate for Nanjing Ministry of Rites.

If this is the case, Yan Song, who went to the capital to report his duties, will definitely not be able to go back!

Yan Song, who couldn't go back to Nanjing, could only serve as Minister of Rites in the capital under the overall consideration of the entire court, otherwise it would be difficult to arrange other positions.

Then if Yan Song became Minister of Rites, Huo Tao would not have to be listed as Minister of Rites.

Probably Huo Tao also thought of this, and immediately felt that this proposal is really good!

Zhou Shilang, who presided over the court push, didn't think much about it, so he said: "That's okay, gentlemen, let's talk about the Nanjing Ministry of Rites first."

This is also the old rule, start from the weakest position.

Sang Yushi smiled and said to Zhou Shilang: "Why do you need to push others, I think you are very suitable, Shaozukazai!"

Everyone was surprised, which one is this?
Only Zhou Yong and Zhou Shilang were speechless for a long time, he was just a tool man who presided over the court push, why did he suddenly push it on his head?
Promise, or not?Being the Minister of the Left in the Ministry of Officials in the capital is at least one of the central centers. What can the Minister of the Ministry of Rites of Nanjing do?
Zhou Shilang thought for a moment, then said to Sang Yushi: "Thank you, Lord Sang, for your recommendation."

He mainly considered three points, one is that there are only a few pitfalls in the position of the second-rank Shangshu, and the opportunity is very difficult.

The second is that I am 60 years old, so how much more can I have in fighting for real power?The third is that Nanjing is close to my hometown Suzhou, so it is comfortable to go to Nanjing to be an official.

If it can be done, let's go with the flow.

Wang Tingxiang looked at Yushi Sang suspiciously. He was also the Yushi of Zuodu, so he knew the details of Yushi Sang very well.

This Sancho has been the censor for four consecutive years, so he is now a senior censor and is qualified to speak here.

But the key factor is that Sancho is from Jiangdu County, the same age as Zeng Mi, who is from the same hometown as Zeng Mi, and is considered to be Qin Dewei's uncle, and has a close relationship with Qin Dewei!

Therefore, Wang Tingxiang dared to conclude that Sang Yushi's words and deeds were instigated by Qin Dewei!
Wang Tingxiang looked at Sancho, but Sancho also looked at Wang Tingxiang and asked, "What do you think, Chief Sikou?"

What else can Wang Tingxiang think of a horse rider?Of course I agree with Sancho.

One of the default protagonists today, one of the strong contenders for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the current Minister of Households, Xu Zan, saw that Wang Tingxiang was the first to agree, so he agreed along the way.

Huo Tao didn't care about this, and said the same: "I think Mr. Zhou can do it!"

Zhou Shilang himself has no objections, and with so many big bosses recommending him, others can't make the mistake of being a villain.

Besides, Zhou Shilang is 60 years old, and his qualifications are also very deep. He should be promoted to Nanjing as a minister.

Today, the first result of the court's recommendation came out, and Zhou Yong, the left servant of the Ministry of official affairs, was elected as the Minister of rites of Nanjing.

This is not called appointment, it can only be counted as election.After the court push is over, the summary of the results should be reported to the emperor, and it will not be officially approved until the emperor approves it.

Then Zhou Shilang said: "Who does the left servant of the Ministry of Officials recommend?"

If he is promoted to the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, then the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials will be vacant again. According to regulations, positions above the third rank must go through the selection process.

Speaking of this, everyone is gearing up

Shangshu is too hard, most people can't actually get in their hands.But for the third-rank position like Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, everyone has a suitable candidate, maybe it will be done?
Sang Yushi, who made a splash today, took the lead to speak again: "Wang Yiqi of the former Prime Minister Hecao has worked hard and has a lot of experience. He can be elected as Shaozuka Prime Minister!"

Everyone was not used to the name Wang Yiqi, so they changed Wang Yiqi's label to "Uncle Qin Dewei" silently in their hearts.

Then everyone discovered that after such a change, it feels like it has an inner taste!Still the old rules, first look at the attitude of the bosses.

Now that the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Etiquette are vacant, there are five first-level bosses present.

They are Xu Zan from the Ministry of Household Affairs, Zhang Zan from the Ministry of War, Wang Tingxiang from the Ministry of Punishment, and Lin Ting from the Ministry of Industry, plus Huo Tao, the censor of the left capital.

If there is no Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Xu Zan, is the one with the highest status in name. Sancho saluted Xu Zan and asked, "What do you think, Da Situ?"

Xu Zan immediately thought of three points, first, this is Qin Dewei's uncle!
Second, Qin Dewei and Wang Tingxiang are partners and accomplices. He wants to be Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he urgently needs Wang Tingxiang's support in the court push!

Thirdly, Wang Yiqi is the one who dared to make trouble with Huo Tao last time, so he can be wooed!

So Xu Shangshu resolutely said: "Wang Yiqi, the governor of Hecao, governed Xu Lu and Erhong. He has made remarkable achievements and deserves to be promoted!"

Everyone immediately realized that there was a reason for Da Situ Xu Zan to recommend Uncle Qin Dewei so forcefully!
Wang Tingxiang was a little suspicious, did Qin Dewei hook up with Xu Zan in private?
After Xu Zan spoke, everyone turned to Zhang Zan, the second Shangshu of the Ministry of War, but Zhang Da Sima did not speak, as if he was waiting for something.

Huo Tao frowned, and after hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "It is possible to recommend Wang Yiqi!"

Still the same sentence, people will always be forced to be rational by the situation.Qin Dewei has said it twice, you need to pay more!
If Wang Yiqi is not stable right now, then Wang Yiqi will go crazy and recommend himself as the Minister of Rites, and he will be the one who is crazy.

Besides, it's just a servant of the official department, and it can't affect the overall situation, so just give it!
Wang Tingxiang knew the fire, and found that neither Xu Zan nor Huo Tao wanted to "go to war" with Qin Dewei, so he was tolerant
In fact, Wang Tingxiang was the most sober person in the audience. He knew that Qin Dewei's hard power was in vain, otherwise how could Qin Dewei rub himself hard?

But Qin Dewei, who had been bluffing all this time, just frightened people!

This is when everyone is drunk and I am alone, Wang Tingxiang secretly sighed, people must first restrain their inner fear!
After Huo Tao finished expressing his attitude, Zhang Zan, Minister of the Ministry of War, also nodded and said: "Wang Yiqi is very good."

In this way, among the five bigwigs, three agreed.As for Wang Tingxiang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, you don't need to ask, this is Uncle Qin Dewei!
However, Lin Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry wanted to nominate another candidate, but seeing this posture, it was useless to mention it, so he waved his hand and abstained.

In the end, among the five big bosses, four of them recommended Uncle Qin Dewei, so the others don't have to waste their efforts in vain.

So the second result of today's court push came out, the former governor of Hecao, Wang Yiqi, was elected as the left servant of the Ministry of officials.

This result is still the envy of most people.Why are people who are close to Qin Dewei somehow promoted?
There are about thirty governors in the world, and dozens of chief envoys and inspectors. They are all big officials in the frontiers or areas, but the positions in the court are limited.

Wang Yiqi took the position directly in one step and moved to the most important position of the official Zuo Shilang. Although the grade remained the same, it was regarded as a promotion.

Four ministers plus one Zuodu censor supported it, and those who were not convinced could do nothing.

Standing in the corner, Wang Yiqi felt like he was in a dream. Before returning to Beijing, he never imagined that he would be so easily promoted to the most important official department as the left servant.

How can something so difficult in my own eyes be so easy in Qin Dewei's hands?
Sang Yushi, Qin Dewei's main spokesperson today, looked at Wang Yiqi who was secretly excited, and smiled without saying a word.

This is where it is, the good show is still to come, the servant is just a guarantee, and the final result of today is not certain.
