When an official is praised for his achievements and then removed from his official position, it is natural to appoint a new official position.

All the officials felt like a mirror in their hearts, knowing that Lin Haoran was getting closer to the Sixth Minister. However, officialdom has always been a carrot and a pit, especially the more you want to go up, the narrower the room for progress will be.

For example, Xu Jie has been in the cabinet for ten years, but Yan Song has been stuck in the position of chief minister for twenty years, making it difficult for him to make any progress. On the other hand, Yuan Wei was very lucky. Not long after he was promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, he met the cabinet minister.

Li Ben returned home to abide by the rules, so he immediately entered the cabinet to fill the vacancy of cabinet ministers.

Lin Haoran is already preceded by the Sixth Minister of the Ministry of Finance, but there are only twelve positions of the Sixth Ministry of Ministers. Each position has always been the target of fierce competition from all parties. Officials who can sit in such positions are naturally not simple figures.

, even someone whom the emperor relies on.

Even if Jiajing wanted to arrange a position for Lin Haoran as the Minister of the Sixth Ministry, it would have to make many considerations, including the feelings and arrangements of the officials in the corresponding positions. You know, once a certain Minister of the Sixth Ministry is forced to give up his position, usually this official can only go to Nanjing.

Retired.

That's why the most ideal way to deal with it is for a certain position of the Sixth Minister to be vacant for some reason, and then Lin Haoran directly returns to Beijing to fill it.

Judging from the news in the capital, Zhang Shunchen, the left minister of the Ministry of Finance, has insufficient financial management skills and has been transferred to Nanjing as the censor of the right capital. However, it does not matter whether his position is taken over by Ma Sen, the right minister of the household department, or Ma Sen, the right minister of the household ministry.

If Mori does not take over, a vacancy will appear for the Minister of Household Affairs.

Because of this, Lin Haoran may directly squeeze out Wan Yukai, the right minister of the Ministry of Justice, or take over the vacancy left by Ma Sen, or even directly fill the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue. The answer is already obvious.

When Eunuch Li read this, he paused deliberately, and his eyes swept over the officials present with a hint of pride and jest, as if he was deliberately going against them.

"Drag him out and beat him!"

"I've given up listening to you!"

"Nima, do you want to memorize an imperial edict for three days?"

…

The officials kneeling in the hall were vomiting secretly, and some of them had bloodshot eyes. They wanted to drag the fair-looking Eunuch Li out, take off his pants, and castrate him again.

Eunuch Li glanced at the officials with contempt, returned his eyes to the imperial edict, and then continued to read aloud: "...Now he serves as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, and he has become the Zhou Shaozongbo, in charge of rituals, sacrifices, and calendars... Go to Jigu

Instruct me to encourage you to take charge of your duties. There will be people above me who will support my virtue with light, and there will be people below me who will benefit the lives of the people. Thank you for this!"

The voice was not loud, but the surroundings were already so quiet that you could hear every word. The content of the imperial edict echoed in the court hall for a long time, and even reached the ears of the onlookers squatting outside the courtyard gate from here.

It exploded like a thunder.

In the expectation of many people, the answer has been officially revealed!

But he was not the right minister of the Ministry of Justice as everyone had guessed, nor the left and right minister of the household ministry as everyone had guessed, but the left minister of the Ministry of Rites without any warning, the young uncle of the Zhou Dynasty.

As soon as this voice fell, the whole audience was shocked.

The official kneeling in the hall no longer cared about complaining about the procrastinating Eunuch Li, and turned his head to look left and right in disbelief, as if he could not believe his ears.

Shao Zongbo? Left Minister of the Ministry of Rites?

This is a position that countless poets have struggled for twenty years to reach, and it is also a prominent presence among the six ministers.

Even Li Chunfang, although he was the number one scholar in the 26th year of Jiajing reign and was favored by the emperor, it took him more than ten years to reach the position of Minister of Rites.

Now, Lin Haoran has directly surpassed many ministers, and even directly suppressed Qin Leiming, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, and jumped to the position of the left minister of the Ministry of Rites.

The most important thing is that at such an age, Lin Haoran has taken up the position of left minister of the Ministry of Rites, which is a big step closer to joining the cabinet to worship the prime minister. Even without the help of his father-in-law, who is the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he can now occupy a place in the court.

Become a true court boss.

"The humble minister Lin Haoran accepts the order, long live my emperor!"

Lin Haoran's face could no longer remain calm, as if he was in a dream. However, his many years of official career prevented him from losing his composure, and he appeared to be respectful in receiving orders to thank him.

He is naturally concerned about his new position, but judging from the information he has received, the right minister of punishment, the right minister of household, and the left minister of household are all possible, and the right minister of household is the most likely.

But he never expected that the reality would be even better than his highest expectation of becoming the left minister of the Ministry of Rites. He had not even gone through the transition to the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. He had already stepped into the position of the left minister of the Ministry of Rites.

For politicians who have already set the ultimate goal of their position planning to be the chief minister, they naturally hope to return to the ranks of ministers as soon as possible and become the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty again.

The Ming Dynasty had many official rules, and they were very particular about family background. The most important one was that non-Hanlin officials were not allowed to join the cabinet, which made Zhang Cong unable to lead hundreds of officials even if he reached the rank of chief minister.

The current chief assistant Xu Jie is in a worse situation than Lin Haoran. When he was still editing in the Hanlin Academy, he was kicked out of the ranks of Ci officials by Zhang Cong. However, Xu Jie's official career was prosperous, and he first returned to the ranks of academic officials, and then

Xia Yan was brought back to the position of offering wine in the Imperial College, and he returned to the ranks of Ci ministers.

It was Xu Jie who returned to the ranks of ministers early, then moved into the Ministry of Rites as a matter of course, and then grandly entered the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister, and finally took over as the chief minister without any controversy.

After Lin Haoran came out of the Hanlin Academy, he served as the prefect of Leizhou, the prefect of Guangzhou, the prefect of Shuntian, and the left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. However, he always stayed far away from the Ci minister, and the mark of the Ci minister on his body was naturally getting weaker and weaker.

.

If his ultimate goal is to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, there is no need to return to the Ci Chen system. But if he wants to become the chief minister in the future, he must obtain the official position of Ci Chen as soon as possible.

Nowadays, it seems like a big pie has fallen from the world.

He finally returned to the ranks of Ci ministers and served as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, which countless Ci ministers could not touch. He became one of the top Ci ministers in the Ming Dynasty at that time and returned to the rank of Prime Minister.

The merits and achievements he had accumulated over the years were rewarded to the greatest extent at this moment, which enabled him to achieve a "big overtaking in a corner" and get ahead of many veteran poets in one fell swoop.

"Congratulations to Mr. Lin on your promotion to Young Uncle!"

Eunuch Li handed over the bright imperial edict to Lin Haoran with a flattering expression on his face.

"Eunuch Li, please come and have a cup of tea!" Lin Haoran accepted the imperial edict, gradually regained his previous calmness and calmness, and invited Eunuch Li with a smile.
