Half a month ago, Wang Shiqi, the head of the Ministry of War, had already prepared a mansion for his father, Mr. Wang, the leader of the alliance.
But today after the old alliance leader Wang entered the city, he did not go back to his mansion to rest first. Instead, he sent his second son Wang Shisu to carry the luggage back to the mansion, while the old alliance leader himself went directly to the official department under the scorching sun.
The sky is vast and the earth is vast, and taking office is the biggest.
Seeing the unpretentious behavior of the old leader Wang, the literature-loving officials praised that the old leader was really straightforward, frank, and not pretentious.
Perhaps this is the principle of "what God takes and what he cannot take, he takes the blame".
When the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel comes to report to the Ministry of Personnel, all procedures are of course smooth and smooth, and no one dares to make things difficult.
From then on, leader Wang Lao officially transformed into Wang Tianguan, who can also be called Laozhongzai.
Sitting in the main hall of the inner courtyard, Wang Tianguan couldn't wait to give the order. Now notify all officials to convene a ministry meeting immediately!
But the secretary replied awkwardly: "Now that the people are not full, it is difficult to hold a ministry meeting."
Wang Tianguan snorted coldly: "The red ticket was circulated before. I am here today. Who dares to be absent?"
The secretary replied: "Lin Jiuyuan, the examination doctor, is not here. He cannot be left out during the meeting of the staff department."
"Then invite him back quickly!" Wang Tianguan ordered again.
After the secretary accepted the request, he quickly sent two servants to find the person, one to the Hanlin Academy and the other to the Ministry of Rites.
At this time, Lin Tailai was sitting in the Imperial Academy's Zhuangyuan Hall, talking with Zhao Huan, the imperial censor of Zuoqiandu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who had completed his term.
This was a minister from Shandong who had a close relationship with Wang Situ. Wang Situ had previously greeted Zhao Huan and asked Lin Tailai to help him get promoted in the official department.
Lin Tailai sighed: "I originally nominated you as the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but with your six-year qualifications, it is completely enough.
If I don’t want to fail, the emperor has chosen someone else, and I can’t help but do nothing.”
Although Zhao Huan also felt that it was a pity to miss the opportunity, he still answered openly:
"Every promotion in the officialdom is determined by destiny. This is just my destiny that has not yet arrived. No one can control it."
Lin Tailai added: "But I saw that the post of Governor and Governor of Fengyang Water Transport has become vacant. This is also a good place to go."
The position of governor of Fengyang and governor-general of water transportation is considered to be the highest status among the governors of the mainland. According to official customs, it is very easy to be promoted to minister or minister.
Just like Xuanda or Governor Jiliao in the border town, they can easily be promoted to Minister of War.
Moreover, the water transportation station of Fengyang Governor and Governor was in Huai'an Prefecture, which was located on the north-south transportation artery of the canal. He often received passing officials, which was very convenient for accumulating contacts.
Therefore, if you can't become the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the governor and governor of Fengyang, Water Transport, is a very good compensation.
Zhao Huan said a little uncertainly: "It may not be easy to be in such a position, right?"
Lin Tailai smiled and said: "The new heavenly official will take office soon. As the saying goes, there are three things a new official needs to do when he takes office.
What kind of fire can be made with the authority of the Minister of Civil Affairs? Of course, it is to appoint several important official positions to demonstrate the authority of the new official.
I’ll try to make you the third leader of the new Heavenly Official later on, wouldn’t it be nice to just follow the trend?”
While the two were talking, suddenly a servant from the Ministry of Civil Affairs ran over and informed him that the new Tianguan had completed the appointment procedures and was now holding a ministry meeting. Lin Kaogong was asked to go back for the meeting!
Lin Tailai said "fuck" in his heart. Mr. Wang had to hold a department meeting as soon as he took office. What kind of bureaucratic style is this?
I was hiding in the Hanlin Academy because I wanted to give the old bastard Wang a little more authority when he just took office.
I didn't expect that old bastard Wang would be so upset and insisted on letting him go back to the meeting.
So Lin Tailai said to Zhao Huan: "That's all for today. I'm going to say hello to Tianguan now."
Then he got up and left the Hanlin Academy and went to the Ministry of Personnel.
In fact, after the last court recommendation, the Ministry of Personnel has not held a ministry meeting for some time.
After all, the new Tianguan candidate has been selected, and it is no longer convenient for others to act as agents. Important matters will have to wait until the new Tianguan takes office.
When Lin Tailai walked into the hall, the Third Hall of the Libu Department and other ministers and officials had already arrived and were sitting and chatting.
After Lin Tailai glanced around, he gave a brief salute to the new Tianguan Wang Shizhen on the main seat, and then sat down as well.
He didn't say any unnecessary gossip. He was not familiar with Xintianguan, and his original nomination was out of public interest.
Immediately, Lin Tailai said to Chen Younian, the director of the literary and selection department: "Didn't your term expire? Why are you still here? Are you reluctant to leave the literary and selection department, so you don't want to leave?"
Chen Younian didn't want to talk to Lin Tailai, but Lin Tailai's words were too unpleasant. If spread, it would easily cause bad misunderstandings and affect his image.
He explained: "I can only leave office after handing over the election affairs to the main hall."
The Ming Dynasty system implements a top-level responsibility system. The top-level leader at the ministerial level is Tianguan, and the top-level leader at the divisional level is Wenxuansi Langzhong. One of the two top leaders must be in office to maintain the normal operation of the government.
It would be more troublesome if both Tianguan and Wenxuanlang were absent at the same time.
Therefore, Chen Younian had to wait until Xin Tianguan officially took office before he could leave office.
However, Chen Younian did not expect that Wang Tianguan would arrive so quickly. He originally thought that he would take office after half a month.
As a result, many things were not solved smoothly, and the depression index increased by another 50%.
"Hurry up and handle the handover! I'm waiting for you to leave!" Lin Tailai enthusiastically told Chen Younian.
Chen Younian felt desolate in his heart, feeling like a defeated general who had lost his army and humiliated his country.
The officialdom built by our ancestors is really ruined in our own hands!
Lin Tailai turned to Liu Yukui, the newly appointed minister of the left, and greeted him casually: "Nice to meet you! I've seen you for a long time!"
Liu Yukui smiled politely at Lin Tailai and said nothing.
Then Lin Tailai asked sincerely: "I have been thinking about a question for half a month, but I still haven't figured it out.
You suddenly parachuted into our staff as Zuotang, who is your background?"
Liu Yukui: "."
Is there something wrong with you, Lin Tailai? Did you ask this directly to your face?
Others are also quite surprised. Lin Tailai usually has a high-spirited attitude. He seems to be able to see through everything about you and doesn't bother to listen to you.
Why did Minister Liu Zuo ask such a simple question?
In fact, Lin Tailai couldn't help it. He had no information gap advantage over Liu Zuo Shilang.
Liu Yukui, the Zuo Shilang, is only thirty-eight years old and may be the youngest third-rank official in the imperial court today.
But his qualifications are not shallow at all, and he has been promoted step by step.
The reason why I am in a high position at such a young age is mainly because I entered the industry too early.
He has been a child prodigy since he was a child. He passed the provincial examination at the age of sixteen, passed the Jinshi examination at the age of nineteen, and became an emperor and official at the age of thirty.
In his thirties, he was promoted to the third rank, and now he has been promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
However, in history, this man who looked like a macho man descended from heaven was actually an "obscure" type.
First, because this person is too low-key. Unlike Shen Da and Wang Er, who are full of dirty information, Lin Tailai is not rare.
The second is that this person died young, having served his parents twice in a row, and also died at the age of forty-five, leaving little personal material.
Therefore, great time travel experts like Lin Tailai don't have much information about Liu Yukui, so they can only try their best to explore in reality.
After Liu Yukui was stunned, he cupped his hands to the north and replied: "When I came to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I naturally served the emperor. This is my background."
Lin Tailai turned a deaf ear and asked again: "Wang San?"
Liu Zuoshilang's native place is Shanxi. According to official ethics, he should be a member of the Wangjiaping Township Party and the Shanxi Gang.
Liu Yukui remained silent.
Wang Tianguan looked at Lin Tailai in surprise, what the hell is this title Wang San? Is this how you respect Mr. Ge?
Lin Tailai asked again: "Is that Wang Er?"
Although the examiner for the general examination of Minister Liu Zuo that year was Zhang Juzheng, who had already rushed to the street, his fellow examiner in the economics room was Wang Xijue, who was still jumping around.
Liu Yukui remained silent.
Wang Tianguan looked at Lin Tailai again in surprise, is this how you respect Cifu?
Lin Tailai suddenly realized: "It turns out that the two kings share it!"
Looking back from this result, Lin Tailai suddenly understood.
In order to push Wang Shizhen to the top, he, Lin Tailai, wanted to cut off Wang Shizhen and Wang Xijue, two Taicang fellows, so he "exposed" Wang Xijue's dirty information.
