The next day, Wang Tianguan continued to go to the official office, setting a personal record of consecutive office visits in the past ten years.
Previously, when he was still the leader of the alliance, Mr. Wang, he had been serving as an official in Nanjing. While Hai Rui was rectifying his style in Nanjing, he was unable to get Mr. Wang to go to the Yamen for two consecutive days.
Yesterday there was a meeting after the new officials reported in, and today they had private conversations with officials from the Ministry of Personnel.
The order of conversation, of course, starts with the second department, the examination department, Langzhong, then the left and right chamberlains, the literary selection department, the seal inspection department, and the honors inspection department.
"What? The Kao Gong Lang is not in the ministry?" Wang Tianguan may not be used to Lin Tailai's work style, "Where is he?"
The secretary replied: "He usually goes to the Hanlin Academy in the morning to give lectures, and then appears in the Hanlin Academy, the Department of Officials, and the Department of Rites as he pleases."
Wang Tianguan then ordered: "Send someone to invite him back. We must talk to him first."
Although Wang Danzhou is an old bastard in the officialdom, it does not mean that he does not know the skills of being an official.
If you don't know this kind of technology, how can you stay at the top of the literary world for thirty years? It's just that you can't do it in your previous position and there's no room for improvement.
The first person a new official chooses to talk to after taking office is mainly for others to see.
The person you talk to must be Lin Tailai, and it can only be Lin Tailai. Even if Lin Tailai is not here, you must invite him back.
So the Secretary sent troops to divide into two groups, and went to the Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Rites respectively to find people.
At this time, Lin Tailai was in the Host and Guest Department of the Ministry of Rites, getting angry and scolding his subordinate officials.
Recently, the North Korean mission has come again. This is the third time that the Host and Guest Department has received a North Korean mission since Lin Tailai took office one year ago.
Because of Lin Tailai's insensitive "generosity", the North Korean mission took advantage of the hospitality opportunity to take away hundreds of watermelons from Gwangrok Temple.
Guanglu Temple directly calculated this bill of dozens of taels of silver to the Ministry of Rites, and the small treasury of the Ministry of Rites was stretched and unexpectedly suffered losses again.
This made Lin Tailai very embarrassed, and he vented his anger on other officials in the Host and Guest Department.
Fortunately, the official department called Lin Tailai away, and everyone in the host and guests were relieved.
Lin Tailai still had to give him the face of "the first conversation", otherwise Lin Tailai would definitely "not listen to the instructions nor the propaganda."
If there is really something big going on in the Ministry of Personnel, Lin Tailai will come back automatically even if he is not summoned.
Although the conversation is in the form of showing others, there is still something to say.
Wang Tianguan asked Lin Tailai: "As for the doctor of literary selection department, do you have anyone in mind?"
This may be the biggest event in the next stage of the officialdom.
Lin Tailai shook his head and said, "No."
Wang Tianguan was extremely surprised by this answer. Did you, Lin Tailai, change your gender overnight? How could you not care about such an important matter?
"No more fighting?" Wang Tianguan asked again.
Lin Tailai added: "Of course I have to fight! But I guess it will be difficult for the court to let me get my wish.
Therefore, competing for Wen Xuanlang is just a means, not an end, and is used in exchange for other benefits."
It is still necessary to explain everything to the Minister of Civil Affairs, lest the Minister make a misjudgment and affect cooperation.
Wang Tianguan said curiously: "How to fight? If there is not enough pressure, then there is no way to force others to exchange benefits."
Lin Tailai replied: "According to the general rules, there are two main sources for the Wenxuan Department. One is the transfer of the doctor from the Examination Department, and the other is the promotion of the Wenxuan Department member Wailang.
If others want to circumvent this rule, they have to pay some price, right?"
Lin Tailai, the doctor in the exam department; Wang Xiangmeng, Lin Tailai's wife and nephew, the foreign doctor in the literary selection department.
This personnel arrangement is simply a moat surrounding Wen Xuanlang.
Wang Tianguan was a little suspicious. When Lin Tailai entered the examination department with force, had he already planned it to this day?
The two of them were talking when suddenly a member of the Jinyiwei Military Academy rushed to the door and shouted:
"The pirates invaded the Taohe River in Gansu Province! The emperor sent an order to visit the Wenhua Palace today! He summoned civil servants above the third rank, military ministers above the governor, chief ministers, Hanlin bachelors, and military-related ministers to come to court urgently!"
Upon hearing the sudden order, Wang Tianguan and Lin Kaogong stood up suddenly, feeling extremely shocked!
The ruined emperor actually left the inner palace and went to court urgently. How angry was this? The emperor's wrath, with millions of corpses buried in it?
Wang Tianguan, who has only been the "head of the outer dynasty" for a day, is a little excited. He can go to the pilgrimage to see Tianyan as soon as he takes office. Could it be that he is also the "chosen one"?
At this time, Lin Tailai frowned and muttered: "How come a fifth-grade or above Ci official became a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy?"
Lin Tailai was very angry about this. Who was so shameless and blocked this loophole?
Although I am a "civilian of the fifth rank and above", I am not a "bachelor of the Hanlin Academy"!
The situation was urgent. Wang Tianguan simply tidied up his clothes and hurried out.
As he walked, he said to Lin Tai: "The conversation is suspended. I'm going to court. You should go back first!"
But the tall and young Lin Tailai was more agile and had already rushed ahead. He said to Wang Tianguan without looking back: "I will go to court too!"
It was not that Lin Tailai was worried about state affairs, but he wanted to see with his own eyes what Emperor Wanli looked like, who was so angry that he left the palace to go to court.
The old Wang Tianguan looked at Lin Tailai's back in astonishment.
What does this court meeting have to do with you, Lin Tailai? Are you qualified to go to the palace?
When Wang Tianguan rushed outside, Lin Tailai was not the only official taking to the streets.
A group of big men in red robes appeared on Qinglong Street and Yudao, and then gathered at the left gate of Chang'an.
Immediately, the Gonggun princes poured into the imperial city from the left gate of Chang'an and rushed into the inner court.
Then he passed Chengtian Gate, Duanmen, Meridian Gate, and Huiji Gate, and stood in front of Wenhua Hall, waiting to go up to the hall.
The cabinet bachelors were much more relaxed. Wenyuan Pavilion was opposite the Wenhua Hall, and they could walk a few steps to get there.
Among the middle-aged and elderly civil servants, the young, tall and majestic Hanlin Academy compiler and examiner, Lin Tailai, the host and guest doctor, stood out the most, standing like a mountain in the crowd.
Originally, in an occasion like a court meeting, as long as you are not the key person in the first three rows, it is not a big deal if there is one more person or one less person in the back.
Most of the emperors turned a blind eye, and few were truly serious. How could they be furious because of the absence of two censors or the presence of an extra doctor?
The last emperor who was more serious was Jiajing. To be specific, it was Jiajing who had not yet cultivated immortality in the first seventeen years. The formalist dynasty with thousands of people would have an attack if there were too many absent officials.
So under normal circumstances, if there is a doctor who is thick-skinned enough, and he is like a fool, when he is among the big guys, others usually don't care about him, and they can only make a few complaints in their hearts.
This is not a secret meeting, we are ministers of the same court, so there is really no need to break up over this matter.
But again, the popularity of Lin Tailai, the Nine-Yuan True Lord of the Dynasty, is really great.
After all, he has helped too many people mentally and physically, and has received heartfelt gratitude from too many people.
After the four bachelors came out, the first assistant, Shen Shixing, frowned and kept thinking, not paying too much attention to the outside world.
After all, he is the chief assistant and the first responsible person in the eyes of the emperor, so he must be indispensable.
The second assistant, Wang Xijue, kept looking left and right, not knowing what he was thinking about.
As for the fourth assistant, Zhao Zhigao, he was still a junior in the cabinet and stood quietly at the foot of the steps.
Only Wang Jiaping, the third auxiliary, immediately set his sights on the pseudo-boss named Lin who stood among the crowd of bosses.
"Lin Tailai! Why are you here?" Lu Guangzu, the Minister of Punishment, asked loudly across a dozen ministers.
Lin Tailai asked: "What advice does Da Sikou have?"
Lu Guangzu shouted bluntly: "What qualifications do you have to go to the palace? The Wenhua Palace court meeting is a place with rules, and there is no room for unruly people who want to get in!"
During the last election, Lu Guangzu, as a candidate, was unable to speak to avoid suspicion.
So I could only watch Lin Tailai jump up and down, not to mention how uncomfortable I felt.
Today, I took the opportunity to blast Lin Tailai a few words, which can be regarded as making my thoughts clear.
The dozen or so officials standing between Lu Guangzu and Lin Tailai dispersed silently.
Lin Tailai retorted: "I am the host and guest, so why can't I go to the palace?"
The Jinyiwei officer on duty breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that between literary and martial arts, Lin Tailai chose literary martial arts.
Otherwise, if a fight breaks out, the official schools on duty will be the biggest ones.
Lu Guangzu sneered a few times and said sarcastically: "The host and guest department is only responsible for tribute, foreign affairs etiquette, and reception affairs! What does the border police war against the pirates this time have to do with you?"
Just when everyone thought that Lin Tailai was going to argue to the end, they saw Lin Tailai pointing at Lu Guangzu and saying:
"This is what you, Da Sikou, have determined with your eloquent words, and it has nothing to do with me!"
To be continued...
