Chen Younian, the director of the Selected Literature Department, looked at Lin Tailai with a slightly proud look. Do you think you can influence the situation by coming to the meeting?
Human resources work, especially high-end human resources work, pays more attention to rules and regulations, and you are not allowed to take advantage of others and take advantage of others!
The qualifications that others have accumulated for decades are right here. How can you, Lin Tailai, deny it?
Even if the chief assistant is sitting here, the most he can do is nominate Wu Shilai, the censor of Zuodu!
If you are an ordinary newcomer, when meeting in your new unit, you usually keep a low profile, listen as much as possible, watch as much as possible, and speak as little as possible.
But Lin Tailai was obviously different. When he came to the clean den of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he came to blatantly grab territory. How could he miss the opportunity to exert his influence.
If you arrive at the Ministry of Personnel and still can’t direct the nomination of important personnel, wouldn’t it be a waste of time to come to the Ministry of Personnel!
So Lin Tailai carefully reviewed in his mind the senior official he knew, who was a second-grade practical officer.
Wang Situ didn't need to think about it. In order to avoid suspicion, there would definitely be no chance, unless Lin Tailai and Wang Xiangmeng left hand in hand;
Forget about Hai Rui and Hai Qingtian, with their poor academic qualifications, it is impossible to become the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Although there is no explicit regulation, the Minister of Personnel has traditionally chosen officials with Hanlin background as much as possible, but later the restrictions were not so strict.
But even if the conditions are relaxed, it is impossible for a person to be appointed as the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Keep thinking about it, Nanjing's Minister of Civil Affairs, Nanjing's Minister of Household Affairs, and Nanjing's Minister of Punishment are here!
Finally, Lin Tailai suddenly thought of a character whose level and qualifications seemed to be perfect.
At this time, Chen Younian was a little impatient and said to Wang Yongji, the right servant, "What other suggestions does Shaozhongzai have?"
Lin Tailai said hurriedly: "I would like to propose a candidate here. He was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing. He is highly respected and has many years of experience.
This man has been famous throughout the country for decades. He is very elegant and good at understanding people. He is really the most suitable candidate to be promoted to Heavenly Official!"
Wang Yongji, who presided over the meeting, asked curiously: "Who is this? Could it be some old man who is living at home?"
Lin Tailai slapped the case and said: "Wang Shizhen, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment of Nanjing!"
Wang Yongji: "."
Are you talking about the old leader in the literary world and the old bastard in the officialdom who spends two-thirds of his time on leave?
Wang Yongji had worked in Nanjing for two years before, so of course he knew what Wang Shizhen was like!
"How could he?" Chen Younian subconsciously denied it.
Regardless of whether it makes sense or not, as long as it is someone who is mentioned by Lin Tailai, he should first deny it before speaking. This is the basic principle of political struggle.
Lin Tailai retorted easily, "Wang Shizhen is more than ten years older than Song Hui and Sun Piyang, and is on par with Lu Guangzu, so you think this qualification is enough?"
Wang Shizhen's official position is the second-level minister. Do you think this level is enough?
Since Lu Guangzu, Song Hui, and Sun Piyang can all be nominated, why can't Wang Shizhen be nominated?"
Chen Younian couldn't bear it and scolded: "You are so messy!"
Is it a joke to nominate a well-known old bastard from the officialdom to be a Heavenly Official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, whose dignity is about equal to that of a cabinet minister?
What do those people who work hard at their jobs think?
The most important thing is that at last year's literary conference, Wang Shizhen betrayed Zhao Yongxian and Gu Xiancheng, and they are now class enemies!
Lin Tailai pointed at Chen Younian and said to Wang Yongji: "Look at Shaozhongzai, he nominated three people in one breath, and I didn't say anything.
And I just nominated a person based on his standards, and he said he was being messy. Is there any justice?
Although the selection is mainly made by the Department of Literature and Selection, it’s not like I can’t speak, right? Otherwise, what’s the point of asking me to come to the meeting?”
Wang Yongji responded angrily: "You two proposed four candidates, but I didn't mention any of them, so what can I say?"
This is the current situation of most ordinary ministers. They have less say in ministry affairs than powerful ministers.
Lin Tailai suggested again: "There is also Wu Shilai, the censor of Zuodu, who I heard is the chief assistant.
Shaozukazai, why don't you nominate Wu Shilai symbolically to give the chief assistant some face, lest the chief assistant be displeased with our official team."
Wang Yongji: "."
Then why don't you give the chief assistant this face? Or do you think there is no need to give the first assistant this face?
Chen Younian denied it again and said: "Wang Shizhen has had no achievements as an official in recent years, so how can he convince the public?"
How did Mr. Wang become an official? Don't you, Lin Tailai, have any idea?
Lin Tailai sarcastically said: "Lu Guangzu was in the Ministry of Justice and Song Hu was in the Ministry of Works. What use is this kind of performance to being the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?"
If you only look at your performance in selecting officials, then you, Chen Younian, should be the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs! Who can have more achievements in this area than you?"
Wang Yongji stopped the two sides from quarreling with each other and decided: "As for the nomination of Tianguan, these people are enough."
Chen Younian snorted coldly and said nothing more. After all, the situation was still very good.
The three people he nominated, Lu Guangzu, Song Hui, and Sun Piyang, are all serious senior officials with impeccable performance, reputation, and qualifications.
Let’s look at the other two people, Wang Shizhen and Wu Shilai. What are they doing?
One is an old bastard in the officialdom, and the other has had a very bad reputation in recent years because he is the chief assistant. How can he compare with Lu, Song, and Sun?
If you don't choose Lu, Song, and Sun, but choose Wang Laobasheng, unless the ministers and emperors of the Manchu Dynasty are all blind!
Today we are just drawing up the preliminary list, and there will be ministerial nominations later.
The candidates are three to two or three to one, the advantage is mine!
At this moment, Lin Tailai also activated the "Learn from History" skill in his mind and recalled the historical situation.
In the next few years of great chaos, the chief minister will be replaced like a revolving door, the Minister of Rites will also be replaced frequently, and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel will also be replaced!
After the former Tianguan Yang Wei resigned, within three or four years, five people including Song Hu, Lu Guangzu, Sun Qin, Chen Younian and Sun Piyang became ministers of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
In other words, the three people nominated by Chen Younian and Chen Younian himself were all ministers of the Ministry of Personnel in history.
During this chaotic period, the only person in the main hall of the Qingliu forces who was not mentioned today was Li Shida.
In the history of the former Donglin Party era, at the peak of the Qingliu forces' official positions, Li Shida was the censor of Zuodu, Sun Quan was the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhao Nanxing was the doctor of the literary selection department, and Gu Xian became the doctor of the examination department.
It's not that Chen Younian didn't want to nominate Li Shida, but that in this time and space, Li Shida was deposed three years ago.
At that time, the Qingliu forces were encircling and suppressing the chief minister. Li Shida, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Nanjing at the time, went to Suzhou as an imperial envoy to raid the chief minister's lair and confront the local bully Lin Daguan.
As a result, civil unrest broke out, the prefect and the governor committed suicide one after another, and the imperial envoy Li Shida was dismissed from office for serious neglect of duty.
Of course, it is impossible for such a character to be nominated as Minister of Civil Affairs.
When he thought of this, Lin Tailai suddenly realized what Chen Younian's business idea was!
If Lu Guangzu, the Minister of Punishment, or Song Qi, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, were moved to be the Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel, wouldn't the positions of the Ministry of Punishment or the Ministry of Work be freed up?
Then Li Shida, who has been reflecting at home for three years, has completed his "atonement" in an official sense, and will have the opportunity to be recommended and reinstated as minister.
In this case, the Qingliu forces in the six divisions would occupy half of the ministerial positions!
No matter what, this situation is absolutely not allowed to happen!
Originally, Lin Tailai nominated Wang Lao, an old gangster from the officialdom, with the intention of having fun, and it was more meaningful to disgust the Qingliu forces than to cause trouble.
But now it seems that we must seriously support Mr. Wang.
After all, Lin Tailai has no one to use him at the level of the second-grade official department, so he can only use as much waste as possible.
Then there are some backup tricks that you have to come up with in advance!
After making up his mind, Lin Tailai sat up straight, with such a mountain-like momentum that even Wang Yongji, the right servant next to him, felt the pressure.
Chen Younian's heart rang with alarm bells. He stood up slightly and was ready to eject and rush out of the door!
Maybe Lin Tailai is going to give a speech but then take action!
Lin Tailai's sharp eyes shot at Chen Younian, and he spoke again as if he was casually speaking: "Old Chen, when did you arrive at the Literary and Selection Department of the Ministry of Personnel?"
Chen Younian replied cautiously: "What does this have to do with today's ministry meeting? Just don't mention it!"
Lin Tailai asked and answered again: "As far as I know, when Shen Guide was promoted from Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel to Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, he appointed you as the doctor of the literary selection department before leaving.
That happened in the twelfth year of Wanli, which is exactly six years to this year.
According to the official system, a three-year examination constitutes one term. You have already served two six-year terms as a civil servant, and your term is about to expire again!"
Damn it! Chen Younian was shocked. Lin Tailai was going to attack him directly!
Lin Tailai then turned to Wang Yongji, the right minister, and asked: "Is there any example of a position like the Minister of Wenxuan who is responsible for selecting officials, who has served three consecutive nine-year terms?"
Wang Yongji replied: "Probably not."
Even if it is to prevent cliques from forming for personal gain, there is no reason to let one person serve three consecutive terms of nine years as the doctor of the literary selection department.
Lin Tailai said: "Then congratulations to Old Chen for his promotion! You might as well strike while the iron is hot today and settle this matter in advance!"
Chen Younian cursed a few times in his mind, and he was sure that Lin Tailai wanted to directly remove the firepower!
Then he said: "My matter is not urgent. Today I will nominate the Minister of Finance and Zuo Shilang."
Lin Tailai asked back: "Old Chen, could it be that you are greedy for the power of the Selected Works Department and still want to stay?"
Chen Younian absolutely couldn't admit it and could only say: "That's not what I meant."
Lin Tailai immediately scolded: "If that's not what you mean, what do you mean? When other people's terms are about to come, they prepare for the end-of-term assessment in advance. Do you, Chen Younian, have to do something special?
Do you, Chen Younian, really want to sit in the position of the Selected Literature Department and dominate for a few more days?
I’m just saying to arrange your whereabouts in advance, but I’m not asking you to get out now!”
Chen Younian was speechless after being scolded, feeling angry but unable to fight back.
Lin Tailai then said to Wang Yongji, the right minister: "There are no fourth-grade official titles in the six departments, and ordinary doctors can only be promoted to deputy envoys first.
But with Chen Younian's qualifications and official position, he definitely cannot be the deputy envoy of the Imperial Guard. After all, he is a senior Jinshi from Jiajing 41, the same year as the first and second assistants!
Therefore, I suggest that Chen Younian can be promoted to the fourth rank, Youqiandu Yushi Governor. As for the specific place, we should first look at the vacancies and then discuss with the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Wang Yongji nodded and said, "This is a fair statement."
Although Lin Tailai and Chen Younian had a grudge, Lin Tailai's proposals sounded fair and not derogatory in any way.
Chen Younian felt like shit again! He stood up impatiently and said loudly: "The governor has a lot to do with it. I am not capable of it. I am willing to participate in politics!"
Common sense in official circles is that participating in politics is definitely not as good as being a governor, but Chen Younian would rather participate in politics than become a governor!
Because according to the system, the governor of border towns is elected by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War, and the governor of the interior is elected by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs.
But Chen Younian knew very well, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue? If he was promoted to governor, what good place could he go to?
Anyway, it is just a transitional position before being promoted to minister. In this sense, governor and political participation are the same!
Lin Tailai turned around and scolded: "Shut up! Shaozukazai and I are discussing your promotion. What qualifications do you have to speak?
When will I, an official of the Ming Dynasty, be able to choose my own official position?"
Chen Younian: "."
After being stunned for a moment, Chen Younian, who had been silenced, quickly looked at Wang Yongji, the right servant, but Wang Yongji ignored Chen Younian's pleading look.
How could a right-hand minister, who was usually looked down upon, have no resentment towards a powerful minister?
You, Chen Younian, are usually in the official department, just like the boss and you are the second child, but now you think of improvising?
What's wrong with promoting you to the fourth rank of governor? It doesn't violate any principles. Even if his idol Hai Qingtian comes, there will be nothing to say.
Chen Younian saw that Wang Yongji was silent, so he didn't say anything. Anyway, his term was indeed completed this year.
Your king Yongji indulges Lin Tailai today, and sooner or later he will bring trouble upon himself!
Lin Tailai picked up the tea and said slowly: "I still have some different opinions on the topic of selecting officials for the Ministry of Civil Affairs today.
Chen Younian nominated three candidates, isn’t it inappropriate?”
Chen Younian had to retort: "It is the responsibility of the Literature and Selection Department to make preliminary preparations for candidates. What's wrong with that?"
Lin Tailai still said slowly: "At the end of the term, wouldn't the impact of such a large number of nominations be not very good?
Isn’t it a bit like using power to suddenly promote officials before leaving office?”
Chen Younian finally couldn't hold back his anger and asked, "What are you trying to say with all your yin and yang anger?"
Lin Tailai continued to express his opinions and said eloquently: "Even if only one official minister can be produced in the end, as long as others can be included in the candidate list, it is a kind of qualifications and reputation!
The next time the opportunity arises, the candidates this time will naturally have priority.
So being nominated to the candidate list is equivalent to a hidden promotion.
I believe that Comrade Chen Younian, who is about to step down, uses his last moment to promote others on a large scale in a surprise move, which is a very politically irresponsible performance.
If you sit back and ignore it, Comrade Chen Younian's wrong behavior will cause huge damage to the government of the imperial court.
We must correct this in a timely manner and put this election of officials on the right track!
Comrade Yongji, no, Shaozukazai, can you say a few words?"
Wang Yongji: "."
Where did you learn this set of words?
After thinking about it, Wang Yongji said to Chen Younian: "I think you can just nominate one person. Otherwise, you will be accused of being greedy for power before leaving office, which will have a bad influence on you."
Chen Younian was silent and wanted to be autistic.
In his most professional field of human resources work, he occupies the home field of the Literature and Selection Department and has never beaten Lin Tailai!
Lin Tailai asked with great concern: "Lu Guangzu or Song Hao, which one do you choose to enter the candidate list? Do you want me to help you choose one?"
If you don’t want to choose, then forget it, you don’t have to nominate someone this time.”
"Get lost!" Chen Younian slapped the case and yelled: "Lu Guangzu!"
In the end, the list of candidates for the Ministry of Personnel deliberation was: Wang Laohunzi, Lu Guangzu, and Wu Shilai.
Two old antiques from the 26th year of Jiajing actually spanned three dynasties for more than 40 years, and in the 18th year of Wanli, they dueled for the official minister.
In the same year, the grass on the graves of Li Chunfang and Zhang Juzheng was three feet high.
