Chapter Eight hundred and forty-eight: Grand Scholar

Although Wang Hua is still the Minister of Personnel, he has plans to retire this time. Now he has achieved success and does not want to be an official anymore. He has repeatedly submitted several memorials, but he has not been able to confirm with Yu En in the palace, so he has to waste it now.

In addition to Wang Shouren, the Wang family has three brothers, the second son Wang Shoujian, who is still a student of the great power; the third son Wang Shouwen is a county student, and the fourth son Wang Shouzhang is still studying.

But except for Wang Shouren, the other three brothers were not very successful. Although they studied, they all failed to win many times.

When Ye Chunqiu arrived at the Wang family, he saw Wang Shouren was also at home. Wang Shouren took a leave of absence from the new army in Zhenguo today and led his three brothers to wait here.

Ye Chunqiu first worshiped Wang Shouren, and then met with his brother-in-law. Wang Shouzhang was younger than Ye Chunqiu, but only fourteen years old. He laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, why do you bring this gift when you come to your door?"

Well……

In fact, this time I went back to the door with gifts, but they were all ordinary things, either cloth or pork, but I didn’t prepare any special gifts.

Ye Chunqiu did not expect that Wang Shouzhang would ask this at this time, and it seemed very embarrassing for a moment. However, Wang Shouren and Wang Jingchu both scolded: "Don't be naughty."

Wang Shouzhang was shocked and stood aside obediently. Wang Shouren hurriedly calmed down the atmosphere and said, "Chunqiu, my father is already waiting there."

Ye Chunqiu's head, when he entered the main hall, he bowed to Wang Hua: "My son-in-law has met Lord Taishan."

Wang Hua stroked his beard, looked at Ye Chunqiu with a smile, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay, get up and sit down. You are here, I just happened to have something to say to you."

Ye Chunqiu sat down, Wang Hua exchanged a few greetings, and then said, "How are you doing at home these days?"

Ye Chunqiu said in shame: "It's okay."

When Wang Shouzhang heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Oh, I'm married to my sister, why is it still good..."

Well……

This brother-in-law is really good at 'joking'. There is a reason why Ye Chunqiu hates naughty children.

Ye Chunqiu immediately looked at his nose with his eyes and his nose with his heart, and sat still without moving.

Wang Hua smiled: "Chunqiu, don't take it to your heart. Zhang'er was spoiled by his mother. Haha... Zhang'er, go and play, don't mess around here."

Ye Chunqiu roughly understood that Wang Shouzhang was the son of Wang Hua from old age and was used to being doting. When Wang Shouzhang left, Wang Hua said: "I want to retire several times, but the palace is always inaccurate. Alas... it's really annoying. But in a few days, it's the court to recommend it. It seems that this time may be a chance for you."

Ye Chunqiu never expected that Wang Hua would mention this when he returned to the door. Since that's the case, this time it must be extremely important for Ye Chunqiu.

But... did the father-in-law receive any news?

Ye Chunqiu became cautious. Every step in the officialdom is an opportunity, but it may also be a trap.

Since he was determined to have a career, how could Ye Chunqiu not care about things that concern him? It is fake not to care.

Ye Chunqiu smiled and said, "Oh, please tell us."

Wang Hua stroked his beard and said, "Actually, I just heard about it. Yang Tinghe, the Grand Secretary of Dongge, do you know?"

Ye Chunqiu nodded and said, "This person is the son-in-law's immediate boss."

Wang Huashou: "He went to see Li Binzhi a few days ago."

Binzhi is Li Dongyang's name. Ye Chunqiu knew that Yang Tinghe worked with Li Dongyang in his early years and said that he was Li Dongyang's old official.

This time Jiao Fang completely collapsed and the three tribes were killed. The vacant cabinet grand sects have become a hot spot in the eyes of many people, especially the bachelors of each hall. I am afraid that even the Hanlin bachelors are now in contact, and the ministries and departments of each department seem to have been fighting for them.

The cabinet bachelor, the Dong Pavilion bachelor, or even a certain department. Although some of them are noble and some are in high positions, they cannot step into the cabinet. No matter how noble they are, they are not as meaningless as they are powerful, even if they become the heavenly officials of the Ministry of Personnel, they are still a little short of their ability.

The relationship between Yang Ting and Li Dongyang going to run to is very realistic and reasonable.

However, Ye Chunqiu had a bad impression of Yang Tinghe. On the surface, this person seemed to be a humble gentleman who fought against evil forces, but he was ruthless and was definitely not as simple as gentle and respectful as he seemed.

Wang Hua said lightly: "Then Yang Tinghe said something to Li Binzhi...What do you think?"

Ye Chunqiu said strangely: "Young son-in-law still wants to ask for advice."

Wang Hua sighed and said, "He said that the Grand Secretary of the Dongge is missing."

Ye Chunqiu's body shook slightly.

He suddenly realized something. Yang Tinghe was very clever. This time, it was his life-and-death battle. If he couldn't enter the cabinet, then when the next time was next, he didn't know when it would be.

If he could enter the cabinet, he would inevitably replace Jiao Fang and become the Grand Secretary of the Jinshen Palace, and then the Grand Secretary of the Dong Pavilion would be vacant.

He is very smart. His advantage is not just about getting into evil with Liu Jin. He wants to gain strong support from the cabinet, but his real focus is on Wang Hua and Xie Qian.

The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet is very valuable, but the Grand Secretary of the Dongge is not valuable.

However, this fifth-ranked Dongge Grand Secretary is almost the only way for any Qingliu to become a prime minister. How to say it, just like Ye Chunqiu, he is just a servant, and is still far away from the cabinet. Ye Chunqiu actually encountered a ceiling. If you want to break through, there are only two ways, to break through the siege and become a Hanlin Bachelor or Dongge and Wenyuan Pavilion Grand Secretary. This is a bloody road. After all, there are so many Qingliu officials, one carrot and one pit, and only a few positions.

Such leisurely and comfortable positions are usually insignificant in the Ming Dynasty, but they are almost the only way to enter the cabinet. Another breakthrough point is external transfers, such as being transferred to become a school official, such as being an official in a certain department, and being able to become a right deputy chief envoy of the Censorate. If you have a better luck, you can become a Shaoqing or a right assistant minister in the department, and then by staying in a high position for more than ten years, becoming a Shangshu and one of the nine ministers, then the cabinet will have great hope.

The road ahead is very difficult, but the Grand Secretary of the Dongge is a shortcut. Otherwise, how could Yang Ting and a fifth-ranked Grand Secretary of the Dongge dare to covet the position of the cabinet?
