When Lin Weiran went back to tell the imperial edict, Yang Futian and others looked at Hu Niu enviously. This was undoubtedly a jealous beauty.

Although the South China Inspector seems to be famous, he is a seventh-rank official, and Hu Niu becomes a real female official in the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, Hu Niu was not the first female official of the Ming Dynasty with a high rank.

The first female official was Ma Pengying. Ma Pengying, who was born in an astronomical family, was appreciated by two emperors and asked her to work in Guantianjian. She was later named Lixian Confucianism lifelong teaching, so she became a real person.

Eighth-rank civil servant.

The emperor awarded Hu Niu to the seventh-rank Nanyang Inspector. This behavior will inevitably cause criticism from all officials, but who made it the Jiajing Dynasty at the moment?

The officials are so loyal that people have been standing up and asking Jiajing to establish a crown prince to celebrate the birth of the emperor. Especially the latter, the grand eldest grandson has no name until now, and has never entered the Zhu family's ancestral genealogy.

The same is true. When Hu Niu and the Censor Jiang Jing and Wang Daren were entrusted to visit the alchemist and the secretary of Fulu came out, no official in the court dared to submit a memorial to protest.

Regarding the incident of a female official in the Ming Dynasty, no official submitted a memorial to protesting from the chief minister to the seventh rank of officials, which was already an extraordinary move by Jiajing.

On the 20th, Xu Jie, the chief assistant of the dynasty, held a banquet to celebrate his 60th birthday, which is the most important thing this month.

Of course, being sixty years old cannot be considered young, but being able to become the prime minister at this age can actually be considered golden age.

After Xu Jie became the chief minister, he changed the style of the cabinet of Yan Song's autocratic period and delegated power to the six ministries. For example, Guo Pu firmly grasped personnel rights, Yang Bo was in charge of the Ministry of War, and even Lei Li was retained in the Ministry of Works.

A great say in words.

These actions won the support of officials and made few court officials choose to oppose Xu Jie, and they already silently support this prime minister who has no strong desire for power.

On the day of Xu Jie's birthday, all officials and some nobles in the city gave gifts, including the six ministers of the court and other important officials of the court, which made Xu Fan, who was responsible for receiving the gifts, look very happy.

Just a few days later, Xu Yu, the Censor of the Salt Censor of the Two Huaihe Rivers, also gave Xu Jie a heavy gift.

He formally submitted a memorial to the court. After explaining the various difficulties and escape situations of the salt farm stove owners, he asked the court to restore the old rules to prevent the corruption of the salt administration in the Ming Dynasty.

The cabinet has no objection to this. Jiajing has been in poor health recently and seems to be more focused on Xiu Xuan. However, I wonder if I have read this memorial carefully, so I have approved the agreed opinion.

At this point, the previously sensational dispute over the salt administration has come to an end. Jiang is still old and ends with the victory of the Xu Party.

Regarding such a result, I don’t know whether Lin Xunran accepted the reality or knew that with his meager strength, he could not turn the situation around, so he did not say a word in the end.

At the end of October, Tongzhou Pier.

As boats come and go, people are endless on the dock, and there are even more officials everywhere. A large number of goods are transported here. The continuous points at the northern end of the Grand Canal seem very lively.

A majestic imperial ship was parked at the dock, attracting the attention of passing officials and people.

But I saw luxurious carriages suddenly appear at the dock, and next to the imperial ship, there was also the figure of the Jinyiwei. You could tell the identity of these people at a glance.

Many noble children came down from the carriage, but the most eye-catching one was the energetic girl in a bullfighting suit. Her appearance immediately became a focus.

"Lin Wenkui?"

What surprised everyone even more was that a young man in the third-rank official uniform followed the girl off the carriage, and his identity was obvious.

It was the end of October, and the river surface had already started to freeze and the temperature was even colder. However, there was no wind today, and the sun on my head seemed very dazzling, but it was a good day to travel.

Seeing Hu Niu leaving Beijing, Lin Qingran also left all the matters at hand and personally sent his wild girl to Tongzhou Wharf, staring at this sister reluctantly.

Hu Niu's eyes were slightly red, but he said to the left and right: "Brother, when I finish this errand, the emperor should officially sign me as an official. I will deal with bad people with you at that time!"

Lin Xuran didn't expect that this wild girl had such a little thought, and immediately said with contempt: "Do you still want to be an official or a magistrate?"

"The magistrate is too young. I have to be at least a magistrate. I also want to be the prefect of Shuntian in the future!" Hu Niu said seriously, raising her pink face.

"Your ambition is really great!" Lin Qingran looked at the wild girl who was ignorant of the sky and the earth and said bitterly.

"There is no ambition or not. I think I do better than you. I will definitely not compromise with the bad guys!" Hu Niu snorted gently on her nose and said confidently.

Lin Xuran was very helpless about this sister with a sense of justice, but pinched her face and told her: "You should take good care of yourself when you go back. Jiajing will have to come back to pay the job in forty-five years at the latest!"

"Okay!" Hu Niu nodded seriously, but stretched out a little finger and said, "Brother, I will take good care of myself, but you must take good care of myself. This is the agreement between us two brothers and sisters, let's hook!"

"Okay!" Lin Qingran also stretched out his little finger and made a promise with her.

Thousands of words are intertwined by the two little fingers.

They once depended on each other and faced poverty together, filling in their emotional shortcomings together. Lin Weiran always believed that Hu Niu was the person he cherished the most, and he believed that Hu Niu was the same, and their brother and sister's relationship was consistent.

Hu Niu said goodbye to Lin Junran, and waved goodbye to Xu Jiao and other young nobles who came to see him off. From the children of several princes to the daughters of several high-ranking officials, they all became Hu Niu's sisters.

Xu Jiao and Hu Niu had already formed a deep friendship, but when she thought of having to part for several years, she suddenly burst into tears.

Hu Niu has always been a strong tomboy, but at this time, she let herself go and even hugged Xu Jiao and cried bitterly.

There is no banquet that will last forever in the world, and Hu Niu finally boarded the imperial ship with the flag of the imperial envoy.

"Farewell, Beijing!"

Hu Niu looked at the people who were getting smaller in Tongzhou Wharf, and two lines of tears flowed down, wetting her face. Unlike the last time she left Beijing, this time she left Beijing alone and will be separated with her brother for several years.

Hu Niu's departure is naturally an insignificant little thing for the officialdom in the capital.
