Li Feng looked at him and suddenly, seemed to have unintentionally or intentionally said, "The Ministry of Administration Wei Shu is already of old age. As it happened to rain last night, when he got up early and rushed to court, without paying attention, he had fallen and broke his leg in his home. He was already being seen by the doctor, it seemed to not be very good. His family had brought forth the retirement request to me ... in this way, the Minister of Administration will have to be vacant. You are in charge of the Grand Council, A Min, do you have someone to recommend?”
This sentence was a not so clever test, but not clever did not mean ineffective.
For a doubtful person like Li Feng, whether Chang Geng pushed his boat along the river flow, to recommend someone on his side to the position, or if he answered too carefully, both were not what Li Feng hoped to see. The former showed that he was too ambitious, and the latter showed that he was too preoccupied with calculations.
Chang Geng was stunned at first then instinctively blurted out, "What? Something happened to Master Wei?”
He appeared as if he truly was unaware of this matter.
After blurting out this sentence, Chang Geng seemed to have 'just returned to his senses’ and found himself answering the wrong questions. He frowned and pondered for a long time and sighed anxiously to Emperor Long An: "This... Royal Brother forgive me, Your Subject has been running around for bits of gold and silver these days, I truly had no time to pay attention to anything else. I may not have read the request of the minister yet. This... the position of a minister is very important; Your Subject momentarily cannot think of any candidate…”
Li Feng suspected that he intended to stall: "It's alright, go on."
Chang Geng stretched out his hand and pressed his furrowed brows. He paused and answered, "In this way, isn't it better for Royal Brother to publicly appraise in the court, seeking a talented individual?"
Li Feng: "..."
The answer was really unexpected. Li Feng was frightened by Yan Wang's unusual means of doing things and was almost led by him. He blurted out, "How should the evaluation be?"
"For example, the official's resume, his achievements, his merits over the years and so on are all recorded," Chang Geng paused, changing his voice. "It can also be added whether this person has the criteria of responsibility and righteousness, such as whether they had purchased the Feng Huo ticket or not. Speaking of this, Your Subject is suddenly reminded of one thing: in the future, in order for the tickets to work smoothly, would Royal Brother include how many tickets one possessed in the evaluation criteria? This does not count as buying and selling positions, does it?”
Li Feng: "..."
