Dong Qichang, a young man who was originally ranked first in the exam, was demoted to second place by the prefect because his handwriting was poor.
Then Dong Qichang would work hard and start practicing calligraphy. This is also a literary legend.
"There are so many people who want to meet me now." Lin Tailai sighed, and then asked Zhou Yingqiu, "What do you think?"
After Zhou Yingqiu thought for a moment, he replied: "You can, Mr. Zhong.
He is from Jiangxi, and although there are many Jiangxi officials in the current dynasty, there is a lack of top leaders, so he has no better target to win over.
Secondly, Minister Zhong is a veteran of Jiajing for thirty-eight years. Now Brother Lin lacks such seniority.
If you don’t prepare in advance, there may be no one available when there is a hasty competition for qualifications.”
So Lin Tailai said to Dong Qichang: "Then you can make arrangements! You can try to develop Zhongshilang!"
After sending away Dong Qichang and Zhou Yingqiu, Lin Tailai continued to be in a daze.
Wang Shiqi, the head of the Ministry of War, came over again and asked for instructions: "Shi Xing, the left minister of the Ministry of War, invited me to have a few drinks tonight. Do you want to go?"
Lin Tailai: "."
Why would you bother yourself with such a trivial matter?
"You can make your own decision, you don't need to ask me for advice!" Lin Tailai endured his temper and gave his son who was about to become the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs some respect.
After that, Lin Tailai continued to keep a low profile in the Hanlin Academy. He did not go to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials today because he did not want to show his holiness in front of others.
Seeing that the sun is setting towards the west, it is almost time to get off work.
Lin Tailai stood up, greeted the servants outside the door, and prepared to leave home.
At this moment, Wang Shiqi, the head of the Ministry of War, was seen running over in a hurry.
For the first time, Lin Tailai intuitively felt that the distance between the Ministry of War and the Hanlin Academy was a bit close.
Wang Shiqi shouted in a panic: "I'm invited to have a few drinks again tonight! I'm here to ask for advice!"
Lin Tailai said impatiently: "Didn't I say before that you make the decision on this little matter yourself! You don't have to ask me about everything!"
Wang Shiqi continued: "But this time it is the chief minister who invites me!"
Lin Tailai was stunned for a moment. Wasn't Shen Shoufu trying to poach him?
Then he regained his composure and said: "Even if the chief minister invites you, there is nothing to make a fuss about!
In my eyes, it’s still a trivial matter! You can go or not! Anyway, that’s how I always treat it!”
Wang Shiqi added: "In fact, not only the first assistant, but also the second assistant Wang Xijue came to invite me!"
Lin Tailai couldn't help but sigh: "The water here is too deep and you can't control it yourself, so I'd better go with you."
Wang Shiqi nodded and said, "That's what I mean."
Lin Tailai nodded and said with approval: "Very good, it seems that your consciousness has improved very quickly.
I have initially passed the inspection and have the conditions to officially join the Update Society."
After the great drama of the Officials and Heavenly Officials came to an end, the imperial court became a lot duller, because there were not many major events that touched people's hearts more than the competition for the Officials and Heavenly Officials.
Although there is also a shortage of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel, he is not at the same level as Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel.
Among the candidates nominated by the Ministry of Personnel, the emperor was useless, but unexpectedly he chose Liu Yukui, the official of Zhan Shifu, as the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
This unexpected choice triggered many versions of speculation in the public.
Everyone suspected that Liu Yukui, who was also from Shanxi, was secretly recommended by Mr. Wang Jiapingge.
Some people say that the emperor did this for political balance.
The candidate Liu Yukui can balance Shen and Fu in the cabinet, and Lin Tailai in the civil service department, and he can also consider the balance between the north and the south, which can be regarded as killing three birds with one stone.
Others said that the emperor used the method of purging officials from Zhan Shifu to hint to China and foreign countries that he did not intend to establish the East Palace.
Lin Tailai, an official of the Ministry of Personnel, protested the appointment of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel, claiming that according to convention, ministers generally could not be directly transferred to officials of the Ministry of Personnel, and asked Your Majesty to take back his unreasonable order.
As a result, Lin Tailai was scolded by Emperor Wanli before he calmed down.
The structure of the officialdom that has continued since the twelfth year of Wanli to this day has completely changed.
In the past six years, no matter how the political climate has changed, the Ministry of Personnel has always been like this——
The good old Tianguan Yang Wei obeyed the orders of the chief assistant, the middle-level minister was completely controlled by Qingliu, and the two assistant ministers played soy sauce.
But now the official department has changed, and the official has been replaced by Mr. Wang.
No matter who Mr. Wang listens to, he will definitely not obey his chief minister completely like Yang Wei did in the past.
Lin Tailai broke the monopoly of the Qingliu forces on the middle-level officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and planted a strong flag.
After Chen Younian, the literary selector, leaves his post, I am afraid that no one in the middle-level officials in the civil service department will be able to stop Lin Tai from coming.
As for Zuo Shilang, who has spent most of the past six years playing soy sauce, his presence will definitely be greatly enhanced after Liu Yukui takes over.
After all, Liu Yukui shoulders the responsibility of political balance.
Seeing the great changes in the bureaucracy structure, many people have a feeling that a new era is coming.
June has arrived in a blink of an eye, entering the hot summer season of the year.
But even in such a season, there are people who work tirelessly, dragging their old and frail bodies with them, and rush to work with a passion that is hotter than the scorching sun.
"What? Mr. Wang Tianguan has arrived in Tongzhou and will go to Beijing tomorrow?" Lin Tailai was shocked when he heard the news.
It has only been a month since the imperial edict was issued to Nanjing, but Mr. Wang has already arrived in the suburbs from Nanjing?
Is this traveling day and night? I don’t care about my life anymore, right?
Wang Shiqi added: "My father said that there is no need to spend nine yuan to meet him. We will meet him when he arrives at the Ministry of Personnel."
Although Lin Tailai is too lazy to move, there will be many officials going to Dongjiao Pavilion to greet Wang Shizhen tomorrow!
This is the first time that the leader of the world literary world has set foot in the capital in the past twenty years, and all literature lovers are eagerly awaiting it!
