No matter what age, China and abroad, no matter what era, no one's plan will be smooth sailing, even as a time traveler.

Qian Yuan had already done everything he could do, and could only pray in his heart that God would open his eyes, and he was also prepared for failure.

This kind of big event that has been created since ancient times is normal for some accidents, but smooth sailing is abnormal... Qian Yuan comforted himself in his heart.

But an accident still happened.

However, what surprised Qian Yuan and was amused was that this accident was not targeting him. Although his uncle Tan Lun described the temperament of that person in the letter, he did not expect that this was a firecracker.

Since ancient times, nepotism has been very common in the officialdom and has even become mainstream at some moments. This kind of nepotism can be in-laws, teachers, students, classmates, and fellow villagers in the same year. Among them, the most stable relationship is in-laws.

This is also the reason why Xu Jie threw out his daughter and his granddaughter attracted Zhang Juzheng and Qian Yuan, and it is also the reason why Beijing now has quite a complaint about Zhang Juzheng.

But some very few people disdain for this nepotism, and they do not take it ashamed.

The young man in regular clothes smiled outside Chongwen Gate and looked at another young official who was getting off the carriage. The latter seemed tired and dusty, but his face was firm and a trace of firmness flashed in his eyes.

"I haven't seen each other for two years, and my brother Yuansi still has the same style."

"Is Zhonghua good in the Hanlin Academy?" Zhang Mengnan obviously had something to do, so he just exchanged a few greetings, sent the carriage away, and strode into the Chongwen Sect.

Although he was a fellow villager who had been familiar with before he passed the Jinshi, Zhang Mengnan was not interested in this person. Two years ago, this person was selected as a post-Scholar of Shuji, and Gao Gong was interested in recruiting him, so he was happy to like each other.

Speaking of which, this person who can devote himself to Gao Gongmen has some connection with Qian Yuan.

Two years ago, Qian Yuan went back to Beijing and read the Jinshi Records of 38 years of Jiajing. He saw some familiar names, such as this one, a native of Guide Prefecture, Henan, Shen Li and Shen Zhonghua.

Because the name is a bit special, Qian Yuan knew Shen Li a little, and mentioned it briefly twice in the Censorate, and once in the Prince Yu's Mansion and King Yu at that time... Then Gao Gong recruited him into the school.

"Mr. Zhongxuan was so busy since he entered the pavilion. Today, my younger brother held a banquet in Mingyue Building to welcome Yuansi brother." Shen Li smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang of the Imperial College, Zhang Ziwei of the Right Chunfang of the Zhanshi Mansion... Brother Yuansi?"

Zhang Mengnan strode forward, as if he didn't hear what Shen Li was saying at all.

As he headed west, Shen Li had a bad premonition in his heart, "Brother Yuansi, Brother Yuansi, should be here..."

"Foreign officials enter Beijing, they should go to the Ministry of Personnel first."

"Brother Yuansi was joking, settle down first..."

"Go to the other side... it's the Gao Mansion." Zhang Mengnan's expression was faint, "As a minister, we should first discuss public relations and then discuss private relations."

Shen Li watched Zhang Mengnan throw the servant carrying the salute outside and walked straight into the Ministry of Personnel with his head held high.

"The lower official Zhang Mengnan pays homage to the heavenly official."

"Yuan Si has finally arrived." Yang Bo put down his pen and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhongxuan has been waiting for a long time."

"The lower-ranking official Zhang Mengnan is aware of the affairs of Yihuang County and is ordered by the Ministry of Personnel to return to the capital. Why did the Tianguan say that the Pavilion ministers were summoned?" Zhang Mengnan narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Only the Tianguan and the Pavilion ministers in the outside dynasty are on the same side, which is nothing more than checks and balances."

Yang Bo was stunned for a moment. People were saying that the Minister of Personnel was the only one who could be on par with the cabinet, but you became Gao Gong's gangster... It broke the rules!

Well, that's true. During the reign of Emperor Jiajing, except for Wu Peng, several other ministers of the Ministry of Personnel either had disagreements with Yan Song or Xu Jie... Even Yan Song died, and his brother-in-law Ouyang Renfu also served as minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

"Although Yuansi only served in office for two years, he had a statue of famous officials." Yang Bo pondered: "The governance of Huang for two years is OK, he will be fair in his work, he will be fine in prison, he will be diligent in political affairs, and has outstanding political achievements."

"In the 37th year of Jiajing, the bandit army entered Jiangxi. Although the Yihuang County Town was not destroyed, the county was wailing everywhere. Yuansi personally tried to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, and promoted them to the whole county, with thousands of living people."

"It is natural to evaluate the outstanding political achievements." Yang Bo waved his hand and interrupted Zhang Mengnan's words. "Although Yang Chaoyang introduced sweet potatoes and potatoes first, the achievements of Yuansi were real. Even Chaoyang had mentioned them several times in front of me."

Zhang Mengnan bowed and bowed, "Before leaving, I saw the official documents of the Ministry of Personnel and was transferred to the doctor of the Ministry of Justice. Why did he come?"

Yang Bo sighed lightly, stood up and took Zhang Mengnan to sit in the side room, asking the servants to pour tea, "Since the 36th year of Jiajing, Qian Zhan set up a city in Zhenhai to trade. Now, it has been more than four years since taxes and silver have become the most important source of income for the Ministry of Revenue. The prefect of Ningbo is called the "No. 1 prefect in the world."

"I guess Yuansi also heard about the death of Jingchuan Gong on his way north?"

Seeing Zhang Mengnan nodding, Yang Bo sighed: "Now that the prefect of Ningbo is vacant, the Ministry of Personnel is difficult to make a decision. Your Majesty ordered the Ministry of Personnel to recommend three people to the cabinet, and the cabinet will discuss the votes together."

"As such a big event, Mr. Zhongxuan wanted to entrust Yuansi, so he was transferred to the doctor of the Ministry of Justice..."

Zhang Mengnan had no expression on his face, "Who are the other two recommended by the Ministry of Personnel?"

"Chen Younian, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, and Hu Yingjia, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue."

After a moment of silence, Zhang Mengnan sang: "After being on the list in the 38th year of Jiajing exam, the Ministry of Personnel selected an official from Guangping Prefecture to promote an official. Unexpectedly, he was transferred to Yihuang County Magistrate. After he took office, he knew the inside story and wanted to resign."

Even though Yang Bo has been through the officialdom for a long time, he can't help but be stunned. What does this mean?

"When it was time, the spring plowing had passed, but there were many fertile land abandoned, sweet potatoes and potatoes had not been promoted, and the people had no food or clothing, and even hungry people gathered to cause trouble." Zhang Mengnan paused and continued: "The officials stayed here."

Yang Bo understood vaguely. To put it nicely, the guy in front of him was noble character, and to put it badly, he was a naughty young man. He found out that he was transferred to the magistrate of Yihuang because his uncle Gao Gong drove away his former magistrate Yang Quan and asked him to gild him, so he was about to give up.

"After that, Zhejiang Governor Tan Gong Ding You returned home, and the subordinates listened to their teachings..."

Zhang Mengnan looked at Yang Bo deeply, "If you want to become the prefect of Ningbo, you need to make accounts, you need to know business affairs, you need to know the numbers. Hu Kerou and Chen Dengzhi are both doctors of the Ministry of Revenue, which is much more suitable than a subordinate."

Yang Bo was stunned now. You really want to give up!

It's so fatal!

The Ministry of Personnel had already submitted the candidates to the cabinet yesterday, waiting for Zhang Mengnan to enter Beijing and be transferred to the Ministry of Justice's Doctor!

"Did the cabinet deliberately reject Chen Dengzhi and Hu Kerou?"

"What's the need for the Ministry of Personnel to recommend three people to the cabinet?"

"Your Majesty ascended the throne and should clarify the inner world. Unexpectedly, the important officials in the court still remained in constant struggle."

Zhang Mengnan's voice became louder and louder, and his awesome demeanor made Yang Bo, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Personnel, who was ranked countless above him, unable to speak any refutation.

They are right, but they are unwilling to be in nepotism, so we can't force this, right?
