Chapter 573 Can it still be kept secret?(2/2)
Lin Bulang, who conducted grassroots research, asked the masses what their thoughts and needs were, and how the flower list election should be conducted.
The beauty Cai Jinfeng replied that the literary conferences in recent years have been held in the Jiangzuo area, and the officials and scholar-bureaucrats in the capital could only stare.
Therefore, we should set up a branch of the New Literary League in the capital and open a northern branch of the Literary Forum.
Only in this way can we drive the young ladies in the Imperial Palace to make progress together and catch up with the advanced entertainment and cultural areas such as Jinling and Suzhou in the south.
Lin Bulang praised Cai Jinfeng and said, "You are really the eldest son of the female middle school!"
After having an in-depth exchange of work skills, he was afraid of having a negative impact, so Hayashiburo did not stay out overnight and returned home.
Anyway, it's safer to be at home.
The drunken Lin Tailai was in the inner courtyard of his house, happily listening to Secretary Bai's complaints, when suddenly a message from the doorman came in, saying that Wang Shiqi and Wang Juanbo were visiting in the same year.
In official etiquette, no matter how close the relationship is, as long as you are visiting in the same year, you must give some face.
Moreover, Wang Shiqi's other identity is that he is the eldest son of Mr. Wang, a candidate for the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Lin Tailai temporarily left Secretary Bai behind, put on his clothes again, and went to the front to meet the guests.
"Jiu Yuanjun! I sincerely want to join the Update Society!" Wang Shiqi said without hesitation after seeing Lin Tailai.
Just this sentence reveals countless information.
First of all, this is a show of goodwill, and it is almost a show of loyalty.
Secondly, why did Wang Shiqi, who usually had a strange relationship with him, suddenly come over at night to "express his loyalty"?
"It seems you know everything?" Lin Tailai held the sobering tea and complained: "I don't understand, can the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty still keep secrets?
We just had a meeting during the day, and you already know the content of the meeting at night!"
What else can Wang Shiqi say? In front of the official position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, any politeness is hypocrisy!
"I also ask Lord Jiuyuan to give me some advice and give guidance to my father and my son!" Wang Shiqi said frankly enough.
After Lin Tailai pondered for a while, he said: "First of all, you should quickly write a letter home to your father-in-law. Now don't miss work at home on the pretext of recuperation.
He quickly went to Nanjing to sit in the Ministry of Justice, and he had to show off his appearance to avoid being criticized too much.
Secondly, when you were not elected as a Shujishi, it was actually Wang Heng, the son of the second assistant Wang Xijue, who was the cause. He did not want to see your good brother become the prime minister of the Qing and Han Dynasties.
So now if you want to publicize this matter, just say that Wang Cifu and his son are jealous of talents and do not care about their hometown."
Hearing this, Wang Shiqi couldn't help but be shocked. What's the inside story?
Why was he not selected as a Shujishi last year? This huge question has been lingering in his mind for more than a year!
He, Wang Shiqi, is the eldest son of the old leader of the literary world, and he has the care of Wang Xijue, the elder of the pavilion. His ranking in the competition is not bad. It should be a sure thing to be selected as a Shujishi by the pavilion last year.
But among the twenty or so Shujishi quotas, his name, Wang Shiqi, was not included!
Twenty people could not choose him? This doubt made Wang Shiqi puzzled, and even after asking many people, he could not find out the inside story.
Unexpectedly, when I visited Lin Tailai today, I unexpectedly heard the answer!
It turns out that Wang Heng, who is from the same hometown and has the same surname as a brother, is causing trouble in there. Wang Xijue, whom he regards as his backer and uncle, makes a fool of himself!
"Is this true?" The truth was too cruel. Wang Shiqi couldn't believe it, or he didn't want to believe it.
Lin Tailai replied: "The first assistant is also from Suzhou. If Wang Cifu is not unwilling, why would the first assistant not choose you, a junior from the same hometown?"
Wang Shiqi said nothing and begged again: "Please let me join the Update Society!"
Lin Tailai replied: "Our Update Society is a strict organization, unlike those loose societies outside, and we do not accept new people casually.
If you are really serious, you can first become a development target of the Update Society and conduct a period of investigation."
Wang Shiqi asked with great concern: "When will the inspection last?"
Lin Tailai thought, of course it is to see if your father can become the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
The next day, Lin Tailai went to the Hanlin Academy before going to work.
During the morning class for the Shujis, taking advantage of the opportunity when the new recruits' instructor, Mr. Tian, came out a little late, activist Lin Tailai jumped onto the platform and gave a brief lecture to the new Shujis.
I don’t know why, but today, besides Zhou Yingqiu and Dong Qichang, some people took the initiative to applaud.
Lin Tailai even had the illusion that the applause was louder than before.
After being kicked off the stage by Xueshi Tian, Lin Tailai was greeted by Hanlin officials on his way back and forth to the No. 1 Scholar Hall.
"Jiuyuan, are you okay?" an old Hanlin said with concern.
Lin Tailai was confused, "What can happen to me?"
The old Hanlin encouraged: "Recently there have been many memorials opposing and criticizing you. If you want to be more open, the Hanlin Academy will be your strong backing!"
Only then did Lin Tailai realize that what he was talking about was that he had been scolded for several days after going to school to resume his examination.
Although I don't care, it's quite unpleasant to be scolded every day, especially when I see my boss, Zhao Nanxing, jumping around.
This matter should come to an end! I will write a new memorial and submit it today to show my beloved Emperor my loyalty!
After inspecting the Hanlin Academy, when I came to the Ministry of Rites, I found that there were more smiling faces here.
As soon as they sat in the main hall of the host and guest department, the two principals, Chen Yunjian and Shen Jue, rushed in and asked: "I heard that you fought against Wen Xuanlang in the official department yesterday, defeated the right assistant minister, and nominated Mr. Wang as the leader of the alliance?"
"Damn! Can this Ming Dynasty officialdom still keep secrets? In less than a day, everyone seems to know it!" Lin Tailai said subconsciously.
Only then did he understand why he felt so strange today and saw so many smiling faces.
Among the six ministries, gossip from the official ministry is always the most numerous and spreads fastest, especially gossip related to personnel work.
Strength determines status. If you prove that you have a huge say in personnel nomination work, you will gain corresponding respect.
So Lin Tailai responded in a low-key manner: "Don't talk nonsense! I just rejected Chen Younian's two nominations."
When Chen Yunjian and Shen Jue were about to inquire further about the details to obtain first-hand gossip materials, they heard Lin Tailai again:
"It's such a waste that both of you are in charge of the Etiquette Department.
I plan to transfer one of you to the Civil Service Examination Department, which one of you will go?"
Chen Yunjian and Shen Jue looked at each other. To be honest, who doesn't want to go to the Ministry of Personnel?
But in front of long-time friends, I feel embarrassed to open my mouth to argue.
Lin Tailai sighed, "To me, you two are flesh on the palms and backs of your hands. It's really hard for me to decide."
Chen Yunjian and Shen Jue: "."
Brother, please stop playing ethical jokes at this time and just have fun!
"So, you'd better draw lots, and whoever wins will go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs." Lin Tailai said.
