The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty has always been based on talent, especially the ci ministers.

If anyone can enter the cabinet, he will automatically enter the chief minister's position. For example, Yuan Wei is now entering the cabinet, then he is the third cabinet minister in the Ming Dynasty. No matter who the latecomer is, he can only be obediently ranked fourth.

Because of the progressive rules, if Yan Song stepped down, Xu Jie would take over as the chief assistant. Once Xu Jie stepped down, there would be no disputes, and Yuan Wei would be the chief assistant.

Lin Qingran was a serious Hanlin Academy. As long as he occupied the position of Minister of Rites, he could become the first or second candidate for the Minister of Rites. It is undoubtedly much easier to enter the cabinet from the Minister of Rites.

Yan Song suggested that Lin Qingran strive for the position of Minister of Rites, in essence, that he hoped that he could return to the "sequence" of the Hanlin Academy's Ci minister. As long as he retakes that path to heaven, the disadvantages of his age will gradually fade and he can easily go from

All the ministers arrived at the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty.

"Mr. Xie Yuanfu's advice is that it's too difficult to take this step. Besides..." Lin Xuran knew that this was a good word, so he immediately thanked him seriously, but he stopped talking.

Although Yan Song was old, he was not confused. His turbid eyes looked at Lin Weiran like this and nodded slowly and said, "Well, your father-in-law is indeed likely to be appointed as the Minister of Rites again, and this step is indeed

If it’s not easy to get started, then you have to focus on the second option!”

"Please give me advice by Lord Yuanfu!" Lin Qiran suddenly felt a little excited and asked for advice seriously.

Although he knew that the Minister of Rites was the best choice, he did not have the confidence to be the Minister of Rites. If his father-in-law still occupies the position of Minister of Rites, this possibility can be directly rejected.

Yan Song took a sip of tea and was about to continue talking, but after blinking his eyes, his snow-white and slender eyebrows moved, and then he was stunned.

Lin Junran and Yan Hong knew that Yan Song had been in the officialdom for most of his life and had seen farther than anyone else, so he listened respectfully and wanted to know what the second way was.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths... Yan Song suddenly felt like he was hit by a fixed mantra, but there was no reaction there.

cough!

Yan Hong looked at his grandfather like this, as if he had guessed something, and immediately blushed and coughed lightly.

Well……

Yan Song's mouth opened slightly, as if he had just woken up, and asked Lin Xuran seriously: "Ruoyu, you have also experienced the struggle of the court. You should have learned the power of the censor Kedao, right?"

"The censors have the right to report the news! As the saying goes, three people become tigers. If the officials did not respond quickly, the current emperor is a wise monarch, and I am afraid the officials have fallen into their hands!" Lin Qingran replied half-truely and half-falsely

road.

Yan Song nodded gently, looked at him and said seriously: "If you cannot plan to be the Minister of Rites, then you can find a way to go to the Censorate to serve as the left and right deputy Censor, or directly obtain the position of the right Censor!"

The left and right deputy censors are the third rank, while the right censors are the second rank. However, the right censors have a relatively high moisture content. After all, there is the left censors on it, and the Censors are ranked behind the sixth department.

Lin Weiran is now the third-rank Shuntian Prefecture. When he was in office for three years, it was not difficult to be the left and right deputy chief censor at the Censorate, and it was not easy to get the right deputy chief censor.

.

"Sir Xie Yuanfu's advice!" Lin Qingran sincerely bowed and thanked him. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly asked: "Master Yuanfu, I wonder how to release the governor and governor?"

He is now the third-rank Shuntian Prefecture. Once he is released from Beijing, no matter where he goes, he will definitely become a local chief official, which will help him expand his local influence.

Yan Song was about to send the tea into his mouth, but he immediately glared and shouted, "I'm confused... cough cough!" But this sound was too excited and was actually choked by the tea sent to his mouth.

"grandfather!"

Yan Hong seemed very nervous and hurriedly helped Yan Song to calm down.

Lin Qingran looked at Yan Song coughing in pain. Although he knew that this person was a famous treacherous minister in later generations, he still couldn't help feeling a little unbearable.

Yan Song coughed a few times and then recovered, handed the teacup to Yan Hong, and said to Lin Qingran dissatisfiedly: "Celebrity minister Yuan Wei, Minister of Personnel Guo Pu, Minister of Revenue Gao Yao, and

With your father-in-law, which one of them will release the governor and return?”

"No, but the exterior can help me accumulate more achievements!" Lin Weiran shook his head gently, but still said the thoughts in his heart.

"Grade?" Yan Song's mouth was filled with a playful smile. He looked at Lin Qingran and asked seriously: "If you were to be the governor of Zhejiang and Zhejiang, how would you think you would be compared to Hu Ruzhen?"

Lin Qingran dared not compare with this military god. He immediately shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Governor Hu killed Wang Zhi, Xu Hai and other Japanese leaders, and returned the peace in the southeastern sea. He went to Jiangxi and fled and went to Guangdong to defeat Zhang Lian.

The fake emperor, the subordinates are far from enough."

"Hu Ruzhen has made enough achievements? But the memorials of impeachment over the years can already fill this case!" Yan Song pointed to the long case where he usually works, looked up at Lin Qingran and said, "If it weren't for me, I was not my husband."

He has always protected Hu Ruzhen, and he has long been no longer the governor of Zhejiang and has long been slandered by the censors' rumors."

Lin Junran's brows frowned slightly. Combined with Hu Zongxian's subsequent fate, it seemed that this was true. But he didn't need Hu Zongxian's great achievements, he only had the achievements to support his promotion to the ministry.

As soon as this thought arose, a basin of cold water was poured on.

Yan Song then talked jokingly: "Wang Yangming was a Jinshi from a second class, and he made great achievements in sending local governments and even had the merits of suppressing the rebellion of King Ning! Although he was awarded the title of Xinjianbo for his military merits, his career was not smooth and he could not return to the court for his whole life.

But it's not as good as Gao Yao and others."

"Isn't it useful to achieve promotion?" Lin Qinran's brows frowned slightly and asked with some clarity.

Yan Song thought carefully, then shook his head and said, "Grades are beneficial to personal promotion, but you are already the prefect of Shuntian, and you have made achievements in Guangdong. What you lack now is qualifications and the favor of the emperor.

!And if you stay away from the capital and put yourself in the local area as governor, it is clearly a matter of seeking fish from the tree."

"Boy is taught!"

Lin Qingran listened to Yan Song's analysis and immediately gave up the idea of ​​releasing the governor.

It is better to find a way to return to the Ministry of Rites to become a minister, or to expand your strength in the Censorate, or even serve as a minister in the Sixth Ministry.

If we really want to determine the official position in terms of achievements, then the person who should be in the position of chief minister is not Yan Song or Xu Jie, but Hu Zongxian, who has made great achievements in military affairs.
