Chapter 36
He smiled again, and the king finished his drink and wiped his mouth and said, "The highest position of the new Jinshi is the eighth rank, and other miscellaneous Jinshi such as Mingjing and Mingsuan can be the highest position of the ninth rank. Lord Cui has only been in the nineth rank for official positions in the official position for the official position for the official position for the first time. He is not as young as the oldest rank, and he is already ranked in the sixth rank. This is only a little bit better. After passing the sixth rank, the promotion and demotion of an official is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel, so it requires the current imperial approval of Your Majesty! If you talk about the promotion of an official, you will be promoted and demoted by the official.
As far as the officials know, Lord Cui is the first in the past twenty years." Speaking of this, Wang Zhushi looked at Cui Po with envious eyes and continued: "Since the imperial examination was established, the number of new Jinshi has been small, and it is also known as the "Shilin Huaxuan" and has been promoted to the first speed. Especially since Tianbao, a fixed rule has been formed, that is, first, the prefectures under Chang'an, Luoyang and Jinyang, the three capitals under Chang'an, Luoyang and Jinyang, for a few years, and then transferred to the six ministries of the capital.
The Lang Guan will be admitted to the Hanlin Academy for a few years and have been in the Hanlin Academy for several years. Then he went to the province to be a counselor who was the chief servant and the ministers, and to advise and satirize. This counselor was originally a candidate. Once the local officials are short of local officials and have powerful support in the court, he will inevitably be put down. If you do one or two terms, as long as you don’t have any major losses, when you return to Beijing, you will be a matter of being unable to escape, and the prime minister of the dynasty. This path is what people often call "Qingyun".
The road is '. But no matter what, the step of the six ministers is indispensable. Lord Cui has now saved the step of releasing the prefectures and counties. You are young and the top scorer in the list. The most time-consuming step is missing. In addition, there are more aids in the court, which can be said to occupy the time, place, and people. It takes 20 years for others to be the prime minister. It will be a matter of 15 years to fall on you. Lord Jieshi is only about 30 years old, so he will inevitably cause a sensation in the world again."
"Mr. Wang is worthy of being the old Ministry of Revenue. Today I will have a great benefit." Cui Po, who was stunned to hear, saw him finishing his words, raised a cup to drink and thank him. He asked in confusion again: "When I was awarded the top scholar that day, the court had the intention of letting me be the Hanlin, but I don't know why this move was? Isn't this inconsistent with what Mr. Wang said!"
Hearing this, the king's face remained unchanged and explained: "There are many differences in the Hanlin Academy. For example, if Lord Cui went straight to the Hanlin Academy from the top scorer, although his reputation was good, he was just an idle eighth-rank official. What's the use of help? But if you were promoted from the six ministries to the Hanlin Academy, a Hanlin Chengzhi with a fifth-rank official is indispensable. Although this Hanlin scholar is only two words different from the Hanlin Academy, it is completely different. Only the latter can accompany His Majesty every day, participate in state affairs, and draft edicts. If you get a word of reward, you can be worthy of the foreign official's work for several years. From this point of view, it is really wise that the Lord did not enter the Hanlin Academy that day!"
"So that's it." Cui Po said to himself, and he felt in his heart that the officialdom was indeed the same as the past and present. It seemed to be very tight and there were endless inside stories. If he couldn't find out, he would be unable to stop his life and would still be desolate. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, and he felt a little grateful to the king in front of him. So he stopped asking more questions and only sincerely persuaded him to drink. Soon, he was already drunk.
After raising the wine tent, he stopped a "Che family" on the street who specialized in carrying passengers for a living, and sent the half-drunk and half-awake Wang Zhuo home. Cui Po rode his horse back to the mansion.
As soon as he entered the main hall, before he could sit down, he saw the second senior brother Jingfeng who came over and shouted, "Junior brother, how are you doing? What did the prince say? When will we go back to Jinzhou? Chang'an is lively, after all, it is not as energetic as our military camp!"
Seeing this, Cui Po smiled, and then said, "I am now in the staff department. There is a two-month holiday in between. We will set off to Jinzhou tomorrow and take my mother, Aruo and the others back."
"What should I do with the new army in Jinzhou? Have you removed your position as a Zhongzhen general? Who has been replaced?" Jingfeng asked in a hurry after hearing this.
"Oh! I forgot to ask this," Cui Po slapped his forehead and said blaming himself. The three thousand new troops in Jinzhou are his efforts. He has really made a lot of efforts to do this, especially Guo Xiaosi's brigade, which is extremely important and he will never let go. However, he has been worried about the affairs of the four towns of Anxi these days. Today, he saw the prince and the great loyalty in the clan mansion the day before yesterday. This matter has been suppressed, and he has been promoted to another level. With a moment of happiness, he has forgotten such an important thing.
As soon as he thought of this, he was still sitting there, and immediately turned around and left, saying, "I'll go to the Ministry of War to inquire again." Then he rushed out of the mansion, got on his horse and headed towards the imperial city.
He hurried to the Ministry of War under the Ministry of War. After some inquiry, Cui Po became increasingly confused. Why had he been promoted to the Ministry of Works? However, the position of the General of Zhongzhen of Jinzhou was not revoked at the same time? These two were two officials, both civil and military officials, and their ranks were also different. This strange thing really made him confused. He couldn't figure it out, and he no longer thought about it. He turned over and went to the residence of the Zhongshu Lord Tongyifang.
After waiting in the house for a long time, three cups of tea were gone. Cui Youfu, who was out, turned around. After the ceremony, Cui Po hurriedly revealed this question. Unexpectedly, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he scolded him for being impatient and lacking in self-cultivation and qi cultivation. Then he said leisurely: "The court transferred you back to the capital and promoted you to the Ministry of Works. This is not only a great grace, but also naturally there are other considerations. As for the position of your Zhongzhen General of Jinzhou, you have no revocation, so there is a reason for the court, so you can do it with peace of mind. Could it be that you are still afraid of having too many officials?"
When Cui Po heard the words of the clan man, he immediately understood that this matter was definitely not caused by a program error, but it must be the prince who did it intentionally. Thinking of the imperial court's indulgence on his actions in Jinzhou that day, it seems that this new army has attracted the attention of the rulers. If he does not take the opportunity to bargain at this time, he will be really sorry for his many experiences since he entered the officialdom.
Thinking of this, Cui Po said with a bitter face: "I work in the Ministry of Works of the Central Beijing. I am far away from Jinzhou. How can I recruit new troops? If I fail to train the army in the future, I will not be blamed. This fact is unfair. I would like to ask the court to take back his life. How about another capable person who will go to replace my nephew?"
Hearing his words, Cui Youfu did not have a gloomy face as before. He just stared at his nephew with a very playful look for a long time. When Cui Po was gradually feeling weak, he said with a smile: "It's really nothing to do? That's fine, it just happened..."
He just said this, and Cui Po, who saw that the situation was not good, had already interrupted and continued: "You have to tell me a solution! It's not impossible. If the court can ask my nephew to recommend officials at all levels of the state army, even though it is separated by mountains and rivers, my nephew will be confident to train a elite soldier."
As soon as his words fell, Master Zhongshu took out a stack of rolls of paper with a sarcastic look on his face. Although the distance was slightly apart and he couldn't see what was written on it, Cui Po could still clearly distinguish the four big words "Maintang of the Ministry of Personnel" in the huge red seal at the bottom corner of the top.
With the embarrassment of being seen through by others, Cui Po, who could not hide his joy, came forward to take the stack of official documents of the Ministry of Personnel with blank names. When he looked down, his brows were already deeply frowned. After reading a few more pictures, he no longer had the joy of the moment. He looked up at the Master Zhongshu and asked, "Why are there the words "Quan Dai" above?"
"The meaning of Quan Dai is that the Ministry of Personnel has now been registered, but it is not out of file. When they have merits that match their official positions in the future, the word "Quan Dai" will naturally be cancelled. If they are just people who are worthy of fame, the paper-based official documents will be cancelled. How can the official positions in the court be lightly awarded? These people are not appointed as officials in the right way. If they have achieved such an outcome without the assessment of the Ministry of Personnel, it is an exception. Don't complain again," Cui Youfu explained without blushing.
"A thousand years earlier, all the people in the court could think of the 'probation period'. It was really amazing!" Cui Po muttered in his heart, but he knew that this was the only thing that happened. So he no longer tried to talk. After carefully taking this stack of documents into his arms, he said with a grievance: "It's fine, but my nephew's three thousand troops recruiting troops is really tight. Should the court also... "
Before he could finish his words, Lord Zhongshu had already started to wave his hands frequently and said with a dark face: "About money and grain, the two words approved on the same day - self-financing. Now the Taifu treasury is extremely empty, and there is no room for discussion on this matter." Speaking of this, Cui Youfu also seemed to feel that the matter of "wanting horses to run away, and wanting horses not to eat grass" was really too embarrassing for his nephew, so he slowed down his tone and said with a gentle look: "Although there is no money and grain, but armor, arrows and other things, you can give you the most exquisite equipment. Haven't you already fought with the men of the Ministry of War's Department of the Ministry of War? You can do this yourself! But the transportation costs along the way! The court is not responsible."
When he heard that the clan uncle said that the court could provide the most excellent military equipment, Cui Pozheng secretly said: "I have already done this matter, but I want the court to sell what short favors." He suddenly heard the clan uncle mentioning his affairs with the officials of the Ministry of War, and was stunned. Seeing that there was no one in the room, he asked softly: "Uncle, is there anyone in the court monitoring my nephew?"
After a faint smile, taking a sip of tea, Cui Youfu sighed comfortably and said, "Don't think you are smart. You know how to use a captain Guo Xiaosi and get a group of great thieves under your command. What is your official position? The court will set up people to monitor you, but you are too active and you can't help but not pay attention. You must be more restrained in the future. In addition, a gentleman should pay attention to "nothing can be told to others" if you don't have the intention of being ill-involved, why are you afraid of these things? After you go back, you should think carefully about the essence of the word "carefulness" and do more to cultivate your body and qi, remember it!"
"Isn't the Jinyiwei only available in the Ming Dynasty? Why did the Tang Dynasty come out!" Cui Po, who was shocked, said in his heart, but he answered respectfully with no fear of neglecting: "Yes"
