October 20th is the day when Tingtui Yingtian becomes governor.
Tingtui began during the Chenghua period and has developed into a very grand political activity, known as the Huitui Ceremony.
Whenever a minister becomes vacant, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will write to each minister a few days in advance to notify all ministers who are qualified to participate in the nomination.
¡°In order for the officials to think carefully and cast an honorable vote, the resume of the candidate officials will also be given in the announcement Of course, it must be kept confidential.
After the imperial court retreated early that morning, the officials who participated in the court ceremony went to Dongque Gate to participate in the ceremony.
The East Gate is outside the Meridian Gate, the entrance and exit door to the east. It has three complete rooms for the imperial court. All the officials from the imperial court and the imperial court gather at this gate.
Why are you here? Because the gate is where the emperor's orders, rewards and punishments come from.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There are twenty-two officials of third rank or above, standing in the court room facing each other from east to west as usual. Yang Bo, the Minister of Civil Affairs, who presided over this court promotion, once again explained to the ministers the tasks of today's court promotion:
"Everyone has read the notice posted by this department. Lin Run, the right deputy censor of the capital, the prime minister's grain reserve admiral and military affairs governor, and the governor of Yingtian Shifu, was unfortunately seriously injured in a fire and is no longer qualified for his duties. Today, our department invites all colleagues to jointly recommend a person who can Those who are worthy of important responsibilities are recommended to His Majesty for their removal."
"Here." All the officials responded and sat down on the pre-set chairs.
Civil officials pay most attention to the sense of ceremony, and they divide the court ceremony into two types: sitting and standing.
??When it comes to recommending cabinet ministers, chief ministers, chief ministers, and governors, they will be promoted immediately; all ministers, chief ministers, and governors will be recommended from a sitting position.
In short, when electing the bachelor, the second minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the governor, all the officials stood up to show their respect.
When recommending the other seven ministers, ministers, and governors, there is no need for everyone to stand, just sit down and talk.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The doctor of the Literature Selection Department of the Ministry of Personnel, as usual, will introduce to the ministers the basic information of the candidates, their official resume, and the results of previous examinations, etc.
But everyone already knows these things, so this step is just a formality. After everyone has fully expressed their opinions, secret voting will begin.
But something went wrong at this step today. Lu Guangzu, the doctor of the literary selection department, went out to the ministers and said solemnly: "I would like to inform all your lords that there are temporary changes in the candidates recommended by the court. I would like to inform you all."
"What happened?" Wang Ting, the censor of Zuodu, and others asked in a deep voice.
"Wu Zhongcheng, the censor of Jiangdu, Zou Zhongcheng, the censor of Yandu, Cao Zhongcheng, the governor of Yunyang, and Jiang Jijiu, the Imperial Academy of Nanjing, sent urgent letters, requesting that their names be removed from the candidate list for different reasons." Then Lu Guangzu heard that replied.
As soon as these words came out, there was an immediate buzz in the room.
Xu Wu not only went to Wang Bengu¡¯s family, but almost all the ministers present received generous gifts from the Xu family. Naturally, he knew that these four were the candidates that Mr. Xu Ge wanted.
Who would have imagined that these four people actually became deserters together! No one is willing to fight for Mr. Xu Ge!
"It seems that the situation in Jiangnan is more serious than imagined" The officials whispered and exchanged views with each other.
"Yes, these are all temporary choices. Wu and Zou are even more fierce warriors. What kind of situation will it take for them to retreat together?"
??Everyone looked at Wang Bengu one after another, wanting to see what the expression of this Party cadre Xu was.
Wang Bengu¡¯s face was very dark.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The list of candidates was drafted by him, the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and then asked for approval from Lord Tianguan.
The big guys present naturally knew the subtle relationship between Yang Bo and Mr. Xu Ge. Then it is easy to think that Xu Jie put these four people on the list through him, Shaozukazai.
Who would have thought that the four of them would not appreciate it and would push it out one after another just before the recommendation. Isn¡¯t this a lie? !
Wang Ben inherently felt like he was being fooled, but for a moment he couldn't control it and could only sit there and sulk.
??~~
"I wonder what Prime Minister Otsuka wants?" At this time, Mao Butang asked Yang Bodao: "Do you agree with the four of them withdrawing from the election?"
"Of course, you're pressing the bull's head and refusing to drink water." Yang Bo's face was not good-looking, and he snorted coldly: "If you don't even have the courage to face challenges and defend the court, what's the use of electing such officials?"
"" The ministers could not refute this, and Huo Butang asked again: "Should we choose one from the remaining three, or should we wait for the Ministry of Personnel to fill in the candidates?"
"You don't need to say more, you all know how urgent the situation in Jiangnan is, and we don't have time to waste." Yang Bo said decisively: "But we can add one more candidate, andThere is no need to push him in a few days, because everyone is very familiar with that person. "
When the officials heard this, they had understanding smiles on their faces, and they obviously knew who it was as soon as they heard it.
Wang Bengu¡¯s face turned even uglier, because this meant that the minister was dissatisfied with him and no longer trusted him
Yang Bo ignored him and smiled lightly at everyone: "It seems that everyone has guessed who he is?"
"It's probably Haigangfeng who has been promoted seven times, right?" All the officials laughed.
"Not bad." Yang Bo smiled and nodded.
"I think the current situation in Jiangnan belongs to none other than Hai Rui!" All the officials immediately agreed enthusiastically.
"That's right, in troubled times, use heavy codes to kill monsters and use the divine sword!"
"I think only Haigangfeng can take action to intimidate Xiaoxiao and restore the authority of the imperial court!"
Someone actually dared to assassinate a governor at the risk of serious injustice. It was impossible for the officials of the imperial court not to be angry about this.
It¡¯s just that when officials reach their level, they must always put the overall situation first, so they can¡¯t express their opinions easily.
Of course, this overall situation may be related to the imperial court, or it may not be.
So when they make their stance clear, it basically means that the overall situation has been decided.
??~~
After a while, Lu Guangzu handed out the blank question book and asked everyone to write down their favorite principals and companions on it.
After everyone has finished writing, he will vote on the spot.
As expected, almost everyone chose Hai Rui.
In the end, Hai Rui won 21 of the 22 positive selections
Of course, it cannot be said that Zhao Hao can directly or indirectly influence twenty-one officials. Because many people saw that the situation had become clear and were unwilling to pointlessly expose their choices, they made a favor and listed Hai Rui as the main candidate.
When the court proceedings were over, Yang Bo wrote a memorial directly in the court room, reporting the results of the proceedings and asking the emperor to remove him as appropriate.
In the afternoon, the memorial from the Ministry of Personnel was sent to the cabinet via the General Affairs Department.
The three bachelors, who had known the result in advance, immediately voted to draft the memorial and ordered it to be submitted to the Director of Ceremonies for approval.
Li Chunfang is very satisfied with this. He took it for granted that this was the result of his greeting.
After Zhang Juzheng returned to his room, the chief assistant smiled happily at Chen Yiqin and said: "It seems that there is no big problem if we play our own banner."
"Well, it's almost the same." Chen Yiqin felt a little incredible, but it was already the established policy to cut off with Mr. Xu Ge, so there was no nonsense.
But Xianggong Zhang was a little worried. He envisioned various possibilities, but he didn't expect that Hai Rui would be the candidate.
The return of the high-phase curve may only increase variables.
It¡¯s just that the bachelor has never participated in the nomination, and he is helpless about this result
ps. Sorry, my eyes are very uncomfortable today, which really affects my state. I will post two chapters first. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
