Chapter 387

This also left his legal wife, the eldest daughter of the Luo family, Yuan Niang, extremely disappointed.

She had been waiting for Xu Lingyi's title, but Xu Lingyi still disappointed her; her life as the Marchioness of Yongping was not easy.

Jia Hui couldn't help but think of Yuan Niang: "The eldest legitimate daughter of the Luo family, who married Xu Lingyi for the sake of family interests, gave birth to a legitimate son, Xu Sijun, and though they were a young couple, she developed a rift with him due to family matters."

"Because she suffered from a miscarriage years ago that left her with a chronic illness, she is now terminally ill. In his memory, after Xu Lingyi returned, he not only disappointed Yuan Niang but also told her not to worry about the affairs of the mansion anymore. Yuan Niang, however, mistakenly thought that Xu Lingyi disliked her because of her serious illness. It is estimated that she is already extremely disappointed at this moment, believing that Xu Lingyi no longer has feelings for her, and she no longer thinks of anything else in her broken body, only wanting to pave the way for Jun Ge before she dies."

"In his memory, it was precisely to pave the way for her son that she racked her brains to scheme for Xu Lingyi to take a concubine. Shiyi Niang entered the mansion because of this, and after she died, Shiyi Niang was promoted to the position of legal wife because of this."

"In that case, I should take Shiyi Niang as a concubine as soon as possible, otherwise she will be snatched away by Xu Lingyi. I must get this done in these few days!"

Back to the main topic.

Li Shimin and the others also felt regret after Empress Liu E finished speaking, and then said: "I agree with this matter too. Since Marquis Yongping insists on this, I cannot force him. So Ah Hui, you should recommend another one!"

This made Jia Hui frown.

He really didn't have a suitable candidate for the moment.

His brain quickly went through a list.

Minister of the Court of Judicial Review Gao Sheng, Censor-in-Chief Qi Mu, Left Assistant Censor-in-Chief Sheng Hong, Commissioner Gao Hu, Chi Pan, Lou Yao, Feng Tang, Feng Ziying, Gu Qianfan, and so on.

Not one was suitable.

If talking about closeness,

Sheng Hong and Gao Hu were both about to become his prospective fathers-in-law.

Because of the marriage alliance,

Jia Hui most wanted to recommend the two of them.

But both were fifth-rank officials.

It was impossible to reach the sky in one step and become the Minister of Revenue!

Therefore, he could only exclude them helplessly.

Just when he was somewhat wanting to give up,

he suddenly remembered that he had analyzed the officials with Cheng Yu and the others.

This included the Ministry of War.

"Then let's go with Left Vice Minister Li Lin; as far as this humble official knows, this person understands the military system the best."

Immediately, Jia Hui said this person's name.

This Li Lin, he had just seen him when he was at the Ministry of War.

The other party was actually not very friendly to Jia Hui.

He even questioned Jia Hui.

This time,

the Emperor and the Empress,

including Yang Huan, were even more surprised.

Because Xu Lingyi could be said to have worked with Jia Hui before,

so recommending him was understandable.

But this Left Vice Minister of War, Li Lin, had no contact with Jia Hui, right?

And they all knew that he was currently part of the Crown Prince's faction.

They also knew

that the relationship between the Crown Prince and Jia Hui was not too bad, but not good either.

This Jia Hui actually recommended him?

Jia Hui was also very helpless.

Who told him he didn't have a suitable candidate?

He could only choose someone capable to win the favor of the Emperor and Empress, and continue to show them that he is a fair and patriotic person.

Jia Hui also knew a little about this Li Lin.

He used to stand on the Crown Prince's side and was not friendly to Prince Jing.

After the private gunpowder workshop incident in the original "Nirvana in Fire," Prince Jing misappropriated military funds, and Li Lin seized upon it and exaggerated Prince Jing's faults.

However, setting aside the issue of factionalism, this Li Lin himself was capable.

The upright Minister of Justice, Cai Quan, did not like Li Lin, but Prince Jing also said that Li Lin's qualifications were not just for show.

And regarding the Ministry of War, the several plans Li Lin proposed were all recognized by everyone.

Finally,

I'm afraid Li Lin himself would not have thought that he was one of the few survivors of the factional struggle.

After finishing speaking at this moment,

Jia Hui said no more.

Whatever happens, happens; I recommended him anyway.

If it doesn't work out, I don't care.

Anyway, there's no loss.

【278】 Promoted to Left Vice Minister of War! Unexpected ecstasy! Officially stepping into the ranks of high officials (10)

"Ah Hui, your recommendation is good... this Li Lin is indeed capable!"

After thinking for a while,

Emperor Yongshun nodded with satisfaction immediately.

He also knew about this Li Lin.

But he wasn't the only candidate.

Now,

"Empress, what do you think?"

"Indeed, he has both the qualifications and the ability; he is indeed the most suitable candidate. Let it be him."

The Empress nodded and said.

The most important thing is

that this person is not from the Retired Emperor's faction.

Therefore, he can be promoted with peace of mind.

As for being part of the Crown Prince's faction?

He is not the former Crown Prince.

What does it matter?

So the more the two thought about it, the more suitable it seemed, and they had no objections.

Thus, Li Shimin immediately stated: "Good, let it be him."

It was very clear that Empress Liu E's words also played an important role.

Li Shimin trusted her very much.

No wonder people outside wanted to topple the Empress.

Subsequently,

he asked again: "Then Ah Hui, what official position do you think is appropriate?"

Liu E looked at Jia Hui and then said: "There is no need to think much about this; he can just take over Li Lin's position as Left Vice Minister."

Jia Hui and Yang Huan's hearts jumped wildly!

Each of the Six Ministries has one Minister and one Left and one Right Vice Minister.

The official position of Vice Minister has a long history; during the Western Han Dynasty, it belonged to a type of Lang official, serving as a close attendant in the inner court. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Vice Minister became a subordinate official to the Minister.

The Minister belongs to the associate first rank.

And the Left Vice Minister of War belonged to the regular third rank in the previous dynasty.

In this dynasty, it is the associate second rank!

Or to be precise, after several changes,
