Chapter 792 Weird court situation
On April 20, the fourth year of Wei Hou, Wei Wuji held a grand ceremony.
The last major dynasty meeting was to accept the State of Song, and the purpose of this dynasty meeting was to designate the officials of Song counties and counties.
As before, officials were still those officials. After entering the Wei Palace early, they began to wait for court. When the time came, only the eunuchs informed them to attend court.
Everything was done step by step, but there was one more person in the class today, and this was the original Song Dynasty king Song Xiang.
This is a court meeting to discuss officials in Song. Since Song Xiang chose to be a Wei minister, Wei Wuji naturally wanted to give the other party some face and let Song Xiang attend the court meeting.
The ministers stood according to their official ranks, and Wei Wuji then appeared in the main hall. When he sat down in the back hall, the sound of mountain cries rang out.
"I'm paying homage to you!" All the ministers bowed.
Wei Wuji's face was deep. Because of the affairs of the county magistrate of Song County, he knew that the officials in Wu'an had been much more frequent in activities.
"Today's promotion to the court is just for one thing, which is to agree on the candidates for officials in Song!" Wei Wuji said in a deep voice.
In the hall, all the ministers listened to Wei Wuji's instructions honestly, and Song Xiang was the same.
"Song Qing..."
When Wei Wuji called Song Xiang, he thought he had heard it wrong, but when he saw the ministers turning their eyes to him, he hurriedly stood out of the court.
"I am here!" Song Xiang replied.
Wei Wuji said: "I will implement the county system in Song County, what do you think!"
Wei Wuji had asked this before, and Song Xiang did not expect to hear this question, so he quickly answered: "Your wise!"
Wei Wuji nodded, then looked at Guo Liangdong and said, "Prime Minister, I asked you to sort out the virtuous county officials, will you have any results?"
Guo Liangdong slowly stood out of the court, then took out a booklet from his arms, respectfully presented it to him, "Your Majesty, the ministers and other people are all here to choose, so please give me the holy dictator!"
After taking the booklet from Yu Zhong, Wei Wuji took a casual look and then said, "Thank you for your hard work, Prime Minister!"
Guo Liangdong bent his waist a little more, and then said, "This is my responsibility!"
In fact, Guo Liangdong felt relieved at this time. He finally finished his job and didn't have to worry about not meeting the king's appetite.
Wei Wuji put the booklet aside and then said to the ministers: "The position of county officials was selected by the prime minister and others. Song County still lacks county magistrates, so all of them can recommend themselves. I will serve as virtuous people!"
However, a strange phenomenon occurred.
Although a small number of court officials showed joy, most of them remained calm, as if the position of the county magistrate as Wei Wuji mentioned was like a roadside.
Pressing his doubts in his heart, Wei Wuji said, "You can recommend yourself. If others are virtuous, they can stand up and support them. If someone is not talented, they can also object!"
After saying this, the court officials still looked the same way, which really made Wei Wuji feel a little confused.
After a while, someone stood up from somewhere in the court and said, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's Office, Wan Shenyan, recommended himself as the governor of Song County!"
The Prime Minister's Office is the highest-ranking person in the court except for the three dukes and nine ministers. Wan Shenyan stands out and recommends him to put pressure on all those who are interested in the position of county magistrate.
Wei Wuji asked the crowd: "You guys, can you support them or opponents?"
An embarrassing scene appeared. As the most venerable person under the Nine Ministers, only five officials in the court stood up to support Wan Shenyan.
Are five people considered a lot? Apart from the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, there are 127 other ministers here, but only five people stood up to support Wan Shenyan.
Although Wei Wuji felt that there were fewer people, he could not stand up and canvass the votes for Wan Shenyan. Although he thought that Wan Shenyan was not bad as the governor of Song County.
After a while, Wei Wuji asked, "But anyone recommends himself as the county magistrate?"
Only then did someone stand up again, but the supporter became even more miserable, with only a few three people, and one of them stood up to oppose it.
Wei Wuji's face turned dark. He could feel something was wrong here, but he couldn't grasp the key to the problem.
So he had to let the court continue, and then all the more, only five people recommended themselves to the position of county magistrate.
Compared with the situation two years ago, it was really like a heaven and a ground. The court was red in the face.
Even this time, Wei Wuji received the news and the court officials kept running around. Why did he lose his voice when he arrived in the court?
Wei Wuji was confused!
At this time, Cao Jun, who was standing behind the court troupe, saw this and felt that his opportunity had come.
Under Cao Yun's persuasion, although Cao Jun felt dissatisfied, he also took the lead in his position as the county magistrate a little indifferent.
But the situation in the court just now made him ignite hope!
Even Wan Shenyan only had such a little support. He was asking why Cao Jun could not stand up and try it out. Even if he showed his face, it would be good.
After taking a deep breath, Cao Jun stepped out of the court, bowed deeply to Wei Wuji on the throne, and said, "Cao Jun, the chief of the court official, recommends himself to the position of governor of Song County!"
This was the first time Cao Jun spoke at a court meeting, so he was very nervous and even his voice was trembling.
Cao Jun stood up, and Wei Wuji was also surprised. He didn't understand why Cao Jun thought he could be competent for the position of county magistrate.
To be honest, Cao Jun was the chief secretary of the court, and Wei Wuji thought Cao Jun was not so competent.
But Wei Wuji still did a routine job and asked the ministers: "You guys, can you support them or opponents?"
At this time, something that really surprised Wei Wuji appeared. Eleven ministers stood up and expressed their support for Cao Jun.
Not only Wei Wuji, but also Cao Jun himself was surprised by this.
Not only that, under Wei Wuji's observation, he found that there were a lot of court officials in the hall, surprised that Cao Jun received such great support.
Originally, Wei Wuji thought these people would stand up and oppose it, after all, Cao Junli's position as the county magistrate was really much worse.
But in the end, no one stood up to oppose it, and Cao Jun became the one with the highest support rate of court officials at this time.
At this time, Song Xiang also felt a little touched by the strangeness of Wei Ting. This kind of court that is incomprehensible is difficult to appear in the Song Dynasty court.
Since he couldn't understand, Song Xiang could only shut up and watch honestly. He would never say a word at this time.
Song Xiang could feel that this would be another game in the Wei court, and then he looked at the three important officials in front of him.
Before coming to Wei State, Song Xiang had an understanding of the Wei State court. In addition, he had been involved in the bad work of entering Wei State these days, so he knew that the Wei State court was divided into three groups.
Although these people are also loyal to the king, there are also conflicts between the three groups.
When Song Xiang was thinking that the two groups were fighting, Wei Wuji on the throne also thought about this.
But he knew even more that Cao Jun did not belong to these three groups, and this made things even more weird.
What made Wei Wuji even more unhappy was that he could not see the Qing Dynasty, which was something he had never seen before since he succeeded to the throne.
From this he also understood that after the simple factional dispute between poor families such as the aristocratic clans ended, the factional dispute between Wei had evolved to a higher level and was no longer as simple and straightforward as it was before.
This also tests the political level and wisdom of the ruling people.
After waved his hand and asked Cao Jun to retreat, Wei Wuji asked the court officials again and there was no one who wanted to recommend himself, but then none of the ministers responded.
When he arrived here, according to the previous rules of discussing county magistrates, Cao Jun should become the county magistrate of Song County!
However, Wei Wuji did not directly appoint him. Under the expectant gaze of court officials, Wei Wuji directly announced the end of the court meeting.
As for the ownership of the county magistrates who everyone is concerned about, Wei Wuji told the ministers that he would announce the candidates at a date.
The court meeting ended, but after Cao Jun walked down the steps of the hall, he was completely confused and seemed a little disappointed.
He is already the one with the highest supporters. Why didn’t the monarch declare himself a county magistrate? Cao Jun roared in his heart.
And beside Cao Jun, when Wan Shenyan passed by, he looked at the junior without any good looks, and snorted coldly before leaving.
Cao Jun also recovered at this time and snorted coldly at Wan Shenyan's back. He didn't think he was worse than that old guy.
