Chapter 446 Promotion
The person who came was very famous, but he didn't have much interaction with Qin Hao on weekdays, and it was Cen Wenben, the Minister of the Secretariat.
Such a big official did not need to inform him before the servant went to the living room to take him. It was a bit embarrassing to just hit him, especially when he witnessed him being chased by Li Xin, wouldn’t he be so ferromagnetized as Li Xin’s shrewd wife?
"Mr. Cen, what wind has blown you? Please, please, is there any urgent matter?"
Cen Wenben smiled and said, "It's really something, I can't say how anxious it is."
He invited Cen Wenben into the living room and ordered his servant to cook tea. Qin Hao said, "Mr. Cen has something to do but it doesn't matter. If you can do it, the younger generation will not refuse."
"That's not. Zhenheng just returned to Beijing and encountered such a thing. I don't have time to sort out what happened over the past few days. It's just that the above urges me so much, so I'm here to find you to discuss some post-war things, especially personnel arrangements for several important positions."
"After the war, what does it have to do with me?"
"That's right. The emperor has made a decision on your personnel appointments, but it has not been officially appointed yet. A talent like the prince is always idle at home, which is a loss for the court."
"Oh? Could it be... in the Secretariat?"
"Yes, the saint meant that you were the Minister of the Secretariat. Just the day before yesterday, the saint scolded Fang Xiang in the name of being old and ordered Fang Xiang to retire, but did not say who the new Zhongshu Ling was. I will be the agent of the affairs of the Secretariat. You said that this happened to catch up with the return of the expeditionary army, and the rewards and personnel appointments and removals of the soldiers. How dare I stop such a big matter? So I have to find you in advance and discuss a countermeasure."
Qin Hao was secretly happy that the development of the situation was indeed similar to what he expected. Fang Xuanling would be sure of the future re-examination, but the affairs of the Secretariat would gradually fade, and the Secretariat Minister would slowly take over and replace them.
As for whom he and Cen Wenben can finally say in the Secretariat, it's hard to say. Cen Wenben was a secretary and had been in the Secretariat for a long time. He was not comparable to his qualifications or experience. However, Qin Hao's talent is known to everyone in the world, not to mention that he was just promoted to the Duke of the County, while Cen Wenben was just a viscount.
Thinking of this, while Qin Hao showed a bright and sunny smile, he also became secretly alert in his heart. Where there are people, there are worlds, let alone the head of a province. Cen Wenben will be his partner and competitor from now on, so he has to be more careful.
Especially for such rewards and personnel matters, there is never a time when everyone is satisfied. As for personnel appointments, we cannot be fooled. In the early Tang Dynasty, the Secretariat was rarely touched on the appointment of officials below the purple robe. It was handled by the Ministry of Personnel. However, the Ministry of Personnel needs to be subordinate to the Secretariat. At least one of them is from the fourth rank. Anyone who is not satisfied will easily cause trouble. It is better to pretend to be confused at this time. Anyway, it has not been officially appointed yet.
Of course, Qin Hao didn't care much about this, because although I didn't remember when Cen Wenben was hung up, he at least died in front of Fang Xuanling. Sooner or later, the position of Zhongshuling was his.
Qin Hao laughed and said, "Oh? So, Mr. Cen will be our colleague in the future. Oh, I didn't have much contact with you before. In the future, our two families will go around more often, but... You know, I have never had contact with the Secretariat before and have no idea about the business. If you ask me to discuss it, isn't that playing the piano for a cow? In this way, you will draft an edict. No matter how you write, I will sign it with you. What do you think?"
Cen Wenben is not a fool either. He is not a bachelor of the Qin Palace, and he has no achievements. When Fang Xuanling was there, he dared not say anything wrong, and he doesn't even dare to complain. Now? Whoever spoils you? If those generals feel wronged, it will not be new to beat him.
Relatively speaking, although Qin Hao is not qualified enough, most people really dare not take it seriously. Not to mention the title of the newly promoted Duke of the County, the creditors he made and the connections he had made were not comparable to those of his own pen. It is not a pity to argue with the ministers who follow the dragon like Hou Junji.
Besides, Fang Xiang is at home now, and if the disciples reject their edict at this time, they will be embarrassed. Wei Zheng is not the one who rubs sand in his eyes. If Qin Hao leads the writing, Wei Zheng will not be too strict.
Therefore, he could barely write a few sentences for rewarding the three armies, but he could not help but let Qin Hao hold this head if he said anything.
Qin Hao was not fooled by him. He relied on his failure to receive the formal appointment and did not sign anything. He was determined to be scoundrel to the end, so he was so anxious that he kept going around.
It was just a coincidence that the two of them were in the dark, and a central palace official came over, saying that the court had officially appointed him and appointed him as the right assistant minister of the Secretariat. Tomorrow, he would go to Ganlu Hall to give the saint a seal and ask him to prepare for it. Qin Hao's face turned green immediately.
Cen Wenben smiled and said, "Duke Rong, you should take the lead."
Qin Haoqiang smiled and said, "Brother Cen, don't say that. I, Xianyun Yehe, have been at home for so long, and I really don't understand the tricks. In this way, no matter who takes the lead, you can tell me the difficulties. Let's analyze them together first."
"Oh, that's it. The most important thing at present is the appointment and removal of personnel from the Andong Protectorate and the Anxi Protectorate. Pei Xingjian is now the commander of the Navy. The position of the Andong Inspection Envoy will naturally be replaced. Duke Chen's merits and demerits have been offset this time, but the inspector of the Anxi Protectorate was also removed. These two key positions need to be provided with a charter for the saints to show."
Haha. Qin Hao smiled bitterly in his heart. These two jobs were from the third-rank real power officials, and even the same grade as the Secretariat. There were only a few people qualified to do this job.
Then he heard Cen Wenben smile bitterly and said, "Actually, this is not the most troublesome."
Qin Hao said in surprise: "Is there anything more troublesome than this?"
"The court intends to build a Xiting Protectorate in Persia to manage trade and small affiliated countries in the west, and this is the candidate for the Xiting Protectorate..."
"Major Protector? Isn't this kind of second-rank senior official who is always taken away by the prince and has no real power?"
"Yes, this false reputation is more difficult to deal with. At present, two people have handed over notes. One is Yang Guifei, hoping that the sixth prince Li Ge will be taken from afar. The sixth prince's ability and ability have always been the best among all princes. He is deeply loved by the saints. In addition to the three legitimate sons of the queen, he is indeed the most suitable candidate, but..."
"But what? But, just yesterday, the prince also handed in a note, saying that he wanted us to consider the emperor's eldest grandson..."
After hearing this, Qin Hao jumped up immediately and said directly: "Oh, I suddenly felt a severe pain in my waist. I can't do it anymore. Oh, I can't get up. Come and help my country go back to rest. Who, come and help me send you a chance to Mr. Cen. I'm really sorry Mr. Cen, I won't leave you for dinner."...
