We can no longer remain silent! Zhao Nanxing immediately defended: "When I opposed the reinstatement of the examination law, there was no decree yet!"
Lin Tailai responded: "That is enough to show that your ideological understanding is not deep enough and you are completely unable to keep up with the new situation. You are indeed not suitable to work in the Examination Department, which is striving for reform."
Zhao Nanxing shouted emotionally: "I am an official of the imperial court, how can I allow you, Lin Tailai, to transfer without permission!"
Lin Tailai sighed and said seriously: "Old Zhao, think about it rationally, is it really a good idea to stay in the Gongfu Examination Department?
You and I are disgusted with each other. As my subordinate, you must be very uncomfortable every day, right? Why bother to endure it?
Besides, I will definitely not say anything nice to you when it comes to the assessment. As long as I am still blocking you during the assessment, it will be difficult for you to get promoted.
Don’t you want to resume your official position from the fifth-grade Yuanwailang level as soon as possible?”
Zhao Nanxing fell silent. Although Lin Tailai's words were hard to hear, he meant every word in his heart.
Lin Tailai struck while the iron was hot and patiently advised: "So, instead of fighting to the end, we might as well change the track.
There are all your colleagues in the Literature and Selection Department, and you will have the opportunity to be promoted if you go to other similar positions. It is better than struggling in the Gongsheng Examination Department.
Don't worry, I will definitely not set up any obstacles for this transfer, and I will ensure that your status will not be lowered and you will still be within the sixth department.
We will never send you to other places to serve as general magistrates, tongzhi, or other low-end monasteries or prison guards.
Don’t you understand my reputation in the officialdom, Lin Tailai? When have I ever reneged on something I promised?"
Lin Tailai's words were so reasonable, and every sentence was considering Zhao Nanxing's future.
In the end, Zhao Nanxing sighed and agreed. He was really scared and didn't want to be Lin Tailai's subordinate.
Lin Tailai smiled kindly and said, "As long as you have figured it out, I will petition the imperial court to apply for a job transfer for you in the name of strengthening the reform of official assessment methods."
This may be the first time in Lin Tailai's life that he has been so kind to Zhao Nanxing.
Two days later, the memorial regarding the transfer of Zhao Nanxing, the head of the Gongfu Examination Department, was approved, and the decree was sent to the Literature and Selection Department.
Chen Younian, a doctor in the Literature and Anthology Department, invited Zhao Nanxing over for an organizational talk.
"Where have you been transferred to?" Zhao Nanxing asked.
Chen Younian looked lonely, as if a rabbit had died and a fox was sad, and he replied in an imperceptible voice: "The Ministry of Rites."
Zhao Nanxing, who had already thought about it, felt relaxed and said with a smile: "The Etiquette Department is not bad, the affairs are relaxed, the promotion is fast, the quality is high, and there are many colleagues there, it is a good place to go.
Speaking of which, Lin Tailai really means what he says. If you don't ask, please transfer me to another place or to one of those messy government offices."
In terms of sheer force, the Department of Rites is second only to the Department of Personnel among the six departments, so this arrangement is good enough.
Chen Younian added: "The Department of Rites, the Host and Guest Department, and Chen Yunjian, the head of the Host and Guest Department, are swapped.
You go over there, Chen Yunjian will be the director of the Merit Examination Department, and also serve as the deputy leader of the reform team."
The smile on Zhao Nanxing's face gradually solidified, and his eyes opened wider and wider.
Host and guest? The host and guest of Lin Tailai’s part-time job as a doctor?
In the Department of Civil Service, the immediate boss was Lin Tailai; in order to avoid Lin Tailai, he was transferred to the Department of Hosts and Guests of the Ministry of Etiquette, and the immediate boss was still Lin Tailai!
Wouldn't the transfer be in vain? Those who are still trying to do nothing will lose the power of the merit examination department!
"Can't you resist and change positions?" Zhao Nanxing almost collapsed and asked with the last hope.
Chen Younian said helplessly: "You also know the cost and risks of resisting alienation, but what reason do you have to resist alienation for you this time?
First of all, it is you who is willing to transfer your job, so it is difficult to tell for you;
Secondly, the Ministry of Etiquette is not bad, and it is not unfair on the surface, so there is no reason to resist the decree. If you forcefully resist the decree, it will be like making trouble unreasonably."
Damn it! Zhao Nanxing felt like the meridians and blood vessels all over his body were going to explode, and his head was going to explode too!
Without saying a word, he turned around and rushed out of the Literary and Selection Department, and then out of the Staff Department.
After looking around for a few times, I found a large number of Lin family servants wandering on the imperial street outside the Dengying Gate of the Hanlin Academy.
It can be concluded that Lin Tailai was in the Hanlin Academy, so Zhao Nanxing, who was already dizzy with anger, strode out of the Hanlin Academy gate!
Before the Hanlin Academy gate official could express anything, the alert servant of the Lin Mansion had already taken the lead in holding Zhao Nanxing down.
"Lin Tailai! Come out! Get out!" Zhao Nanxing shouted at the top of his lungs!
Dong Qichang, who came to the Zhuangyuan Hall for tea, asked Lin Tailai: "It seems that someone is calling you outside the gate. I heard it when I passed by just now."
Lin Tailai sighed: "It's not easy for us department chiefs to be in charge. There are always some immature subordinates who will ignore their superiority and yell at them when they are slightly dissatisfied.
But we can’t fire him, we can only stop being on the same level as him.”
Dong Qichang said in surprise: "Why do I feel that you have a guilty conscience? Otherwise, you would have fought out, why would you hide away?"
Lin Tailai sighed again: "That means I am not mature enough and can't turn a blind eye yet and remain calm."
