Chapter 2199 Lin Qiuming's Redemption
Lin Qiuming was a capable official, otherwise Chen Huaizhi would not look down on him, and would not have taken him to the position of the prefect of Baoding Prefecture.
After all, Baoding Prefecture is a great mansion under the nose of the capital. It has a high strategic position and significance and is the core backbone of the entire Jingji area. Therefore, even if Chen Huaizhi, as the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion in the cabinet, was not very sure of taking such a mansion. In the end, Chen Huazhi paid two other positions and some other costs to win this position for Lin Qiuming.
Lin Qiuming is also grateful for this and has always remembered Chen Huaizhi's goodness.
According to the two of them, Lin Qiuming had been training in Baoding Prefecture for several years, and after accumulating at least two terms of qualifications, he naturally entered the capital. With Chen Huaizhi helping him operate, he would at least be the position of the Minister of the power of the top three of the six ministries, or he might simply jump out of the six ministries and go to key departments such as the Tongzheng and Envoy Department to be the second and third leaders of the real power, occupy a favorable position first, and then plan for a follow-up, and take a step forward, and become Chen Huazhi's real right-hand man.
But human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. No one expected that Chen Huaizhigang helped Lin Qiuming to operate as the position of the magistrate of Baoding Prefecture, and he was cut off by Li Chen.
Li Chen cut him down to establish his authority, but it really affected the fate of a large number of officials, and Lin Qiuming was one of them.
So Lin Qiuming was trapped to death in the position of the prefect of Baoding Prefecture. Not to mention entering the capital, it would be extremely difficult to maintain this position.
About half a year ago, when the imperial prefect was transferred to the provincial government for a regular magistrate, he heard the news that the capital was planning to move his position, but no one from above spoke for him. In addition, he was Chen Huaizhi's "old party". His movement was transferred to the Hanlin Academy to edit books, which was considered a good end. The worst possible thing was to be demoted to a certain corner and end his political career early.
Of course, Lin Qiuming was unwilling to give up, so he tried his best to do everything possible to operate, but he had no choice but to hold his head up, and no one was willing to take the risk to help him.
But what Lin Qiuming still can't understand is that judging from the situation at that time, it was a foregone conclusion that he was transferred. Even when he found out that the Ministry of Personnel was already choosing a successor, but the matter was left unresolved at the last moment and no one mentioned it again. He, the prefect of Baoding Prefecture, has been in charge until now, and he feels like he has been forgotten...
"Actually, there was a dispute over your position in the court before. The Ministry of Personnel means that you have been a prefect in Baoding for some years. Whether it is a convention or a clear system stipulated by the court, you should take up your new position. However, the court has always been cautious about the appointment of first-level prefects in the Jingji area. Each appointment must be discussed and considered many times before the final decision can be made. That time, only your decision to stay or leave will not be made, and the memorial will be sent to the court in front of our palace."
While Li Chen was speaking, he looked at Lin Qiuming who was listening with his ears and said, "Some people say that you, Lin Qiuming, are the residue of Chen Huaizhi's party, and should be removed. Some people say that you have been in politics so far. Although you have nothing to do with your own government, you are mediocre. You can go to Hanlin Academy or Royal College to do theoretical work, but if you are pragmatic, it is not suitable..."
Lin Qiuming gritted his teeth, and there was indeed a villain who wanted to harm him!
They can think of it as a teacher at the Royal College?
