Lubu, as the name suggests, is a document with the contents disclosed to the public without any seal, aiming to let more people know the contents.
News of military successes often take the form of cloth to publicly declare martial arts and boost the morale of the people.
So now, Lubu has gradually become synonymous with good news.
After Governor Zheng carefully verified it, Lin Tailai's two great victories were spread all the way from the northwest to the capital in the form of Lu Bu.
Emperor Wanli received the good news when he just got up. He was in such a good mood that he almost went to court again.
Later, while the emperor was having lunch, he sent someone to ask the cabinet if they wanted to call Lin Tailai back to hold a ceremony to present prisoners at the Meridian Gate?
However, the emperor's unreliable idea was dissuaded by the rational cabinet, and even Zhao Si objected.
First, from all aspects, these two major victories are not worthy of the level of war ceremonies.
It can only be regarded as an enhanced version of countless border conflicts, and it is still defensive and counterattack in nature.
Second, the real enemy in Xihai is Huo Luochi, who also defeated the Ming army twice before.
Now that Huo Luochi is still active, doing a triumphal ceremony is really nondescript.
If the Ming army is defeated by Huo Luochi later, what dignity will the emperor have?
So after the emperor's excitement when he first heard the good news passed, he gave up the idea of offering a prisoner gift.
After the good news spread in the court, everyone probably felt that it was both unexpected and reasonable.
It was unexpected because the connection between Lin Tailai and the word Dajie was so unfamiliar.
Apart from mutiny and dealing with female chiefs, Lin Tailai had no military experience in border towns at all!
It makes sense that Lin Tailai is also a Nine-Yuan True Immortal who has won the first prize in martial arts, so it doesn't seem strange that he can fight in the world.
In addition, many people also imagined that it would be better if Lin Tailai was happy to fight and indulged in border martial arts like Emperor Zhengde and was unwilling to return to the capital.
Along with the victory news, Governor Zheng also recommended Lin Tailai, the hero of the great victory.
Governor Zheng reported that Lin Tailai had achieved two great victories and beheaded two chiefs, which made the rebels and their enemies Lin Tailai hate him deeply.
And Lin Tailai is now the face of the imperial court, and his safety cannot be ignored. The risk factor of staying on the front line in the border town is very high.
At the same time, there were no official positions within the governor's office, making it inconvenient for Lin Tailai to be promoted.
Therefore, it was proposed that Lin Tailai be promoted to the hinterland of Shaanxi to be responsible for supervising food and wages. The specific arrangement of Lin Tailai's official positions was left to the court's discretion.
The emperor did not send Governor Zheng's recommendation to the ministry, but directly asked the cabinet to discuss how to reward Lin Tailai.
Because of the cold weather, Shen Shoufu accidentally fell ill and stayed in bed to recuperate.
Therefore, this cabinet meeting was chaired by the second assistant Wang Erxijue, with Wang Sanjiaping and Zhao Sizhigao at the table.
Wang San, who has a stronger personality, was the first to speak, "What's negotiable about this?
If we want to appoint Lin Tailai to supervise food and wages in Shaanxi, wouldn't it be enough to promote him to the rank of fourth rank, right-rank censor of Youqiandu?
Going from the fifth level to the fourth level is worthy of his great victory."
Although Wang Er is a very smart person, Lin Tailai's matter has little to do with him and he is too lazy to put too much thought into it.
I just subconsciously felt a little strange, why was Wang San so nice to Lin Tailai today?
Lin Tailai was originally the counselor of Shaanxi's military affairs. If we add a censor of Youqiandu who is also in charge of food and wages, wouldn't it look familiar?
Generally, the full title of the governor's official position is Youdu Censor, who is the governor of a certain place, counselor of military affairs, and also in charge of food and wages, and can do things conveniently.
If Lin Tailai became the censor of Youdu, counselor of military affairs, and also in charge of food and wages, wouldn't he literally be half of the governor?
Thinking of this, Wang Er felt a little numb.
But since Wang San was so kind to Lin Tailai, Wang Er couldn't bear to be a villain, so he said: "It's very reasonable, so let's report it like this!"
"Wait a minute!" Zhao Si, who rarely spoke in the cabinet, suddenly spoke, his eyes shining with wisdom.
Wang Er asked doubtfully: "What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Zhao Si basically doesn't speak at cabinet meetings unless it involves Lin Tailai, but there's really no reason to object today, right?
Zhao Si turned to Wang San and said: "I dare to ask, if Lin Tailai is promoted to the title of Yushi of Youqiandu, what will happen to the original officials of Hanlin Editor and Sanbu Langzhong?"
Wang San looked around and said to him, "Just follow the court regulations and do whatever you want!"
Only then did Wang Er suddenly realize that he was almost fooled by Wang San!
There are two fine points here. I didn't pay attention to it just now and didn't think about it.
The official positions of the supervisory system and the official positions of affairs are independent of each other. There is no reason for a supervisor to be concurrently an affairs officer. For example, there cannot be official positions such as censor and doctor, governor and chief envoy.
In the entire Ming Dynasty, there were only a few rare examples of concurrent officials.
As for the fact that some governors have the right censor of the capital and are also ministers of the Ministry of War, and some governors have the right deputy censor of the capital and the minister of household affairs, it is because the two official titles are false titles and not actual duties.
Therefore, if Lin Tailai is really promoted to the imperial censor of Youqiandu, then correspondingly, the original three doctors and the editors of the Hanlin Academy will be eliminated.
The second bright point is that if the censor of Youqian City is really on a business trip, according to the system's practice, it will become the nature of a long-term business trip to a place, and the status of a pure Beijing official will be lost.
If you want to go back to the capital, you have to go through some extra procedures, so you can't go back just when you want.
Some people may be willing to pay such a price for the sake of fame, but judging from Zhao Si's statement, Lin Tailai is obviously unwilling.
For Lin Tailai, real power may be more important than fame.
Zhao Si gave Wang San a step forward, "Lin Tailai is originally a Beijing official on business trips, so there is no need to add another official title of censor."
At this time, Zhao Si had a new realization. No wonder Lin Tailai had desperately pushed him to join the cabinet.
If there is no one to keep an eye on the center, it is really easy to have an accident, and you will be tricked if you are not careful.
Seeing that his little scheme was discovered, Wang San snorted coldly and asked:
"Then you say, you have to supervise food and salary management in Shaanxi and you need to upgrade it. What reasonable official positions should be allocated?
It's no different from being promoted to a Shaoqing of Taichang Temple or Shaoqing of Dali Temple in the capital, and going to Shaanxi to supervise food and wages!
Is it possible to give it to a Shaanxi deputy envoy? Or should it be given to the chief secretary of Shaanxi to consult?
Therefore, it is most appropriate to be promoted to Yushi of Youqiandu! Otherwise, there will be no way to be promoted!"
Zhao Si confidently said: "This is a bad statement. There is still a more suitable official position than the Yushi of Youqiandu!
For example, the imperial court not only established Taipu Temple in the capital, but also established several Xingtaipu Temples in various places, including one in Shaanxi.
Therefore, he can be promoted to the rank of Shaoqing of Xingtaipu Temple in Shaanxi Province. He is not only an official in the capital, but also convenient to act in Shaanxi Province.
What’s even better is that Taipu Temple is in charge of horse administration and horse prices, and is also related to military supplies and logistics!
And it also solved the problem of promotion. Although it was only from the fourth rank and not the fourth rank, Lin Tailai would not mind with his indifference to fame and fortune and his broad mind!
If it really doesn't work, raising Lin Tailai's Hanlin rank to half a rank can be used as a way to make up for it.
All in all, is there any more suitable official position than Shaoqing of Xingtaipu Temple?
Anyway, Lin Tailai already has so many part-time officials, so he doesn’t care about taking on one more! Otherwise, the problem of being promoted to the fourth rank cannot be solved."
Wang San couldn't find any angle to refute and was speechless.
Wang Er looked at Zhao Si in surprise, but he didn't expect that this low-key person also had a special edge.
"If you don't have any more opinions, let's proceed like this!" Wang Er looked at Wang San again and said.
When the meeting ended, Zhao Zhigao stood up and vibrated his sleeves out of habit, maybe a little too hard, and a large note floated out from his sleeves.
Wang Xijue was quick-sighted and grabbed the note in his hand. On the note, he could see that there were words written in small regular letters: "Eight promotion plans. Four demotion plans."
Although the note was quickly snatched back, Wang Xijue was still shocked!
What shocked him was not the content of the note, but that a dignified elder could actually lower his body and be willing to do such a puppet thing. It was really terrifying!
How did Lin Tailai pick out Zhao Si from among thousands of officials?
In mid-November, Governor Zheng sent the good news to the imperial court; at the end of November, the imperial court sent rewards to the meritorious officials.
Given the conditions of this era, it is already extremely efficient.
Governor Zheng doesn't care about others, he only cares about Lin Tailai.
When he saw Lin Tailai's new official position as Imperial College Attendant, Doctor of the Third Department of Lili and Military Affairs, Shaoqing of Shaanxi Xingtaipu Temple, Counselor of Shaanxi Military Affairs and in charge of food and wages, Governor Zheng finally felt relieved and immediately started organizing a farewell banquet.
.
Da Yunda Donglou was promoted from hereditary commander Qianshi and guerrilla general to hereditary commander and general.
Governor Zheng added another 500 people, and together with the original 500 people, there were 1,000 people, all of whom returned to Dayun Camp.
Then Dayun camp was assigned to Lin Tai as the standard camp, and Dayun's official position became Lin Taipu's general of the standard camp.
Originally, such a general reorganization would take some time under normal circumstances. Don't forget that there are many meritorious people in Dayun camp who need to be promoted.
However, under the vigorous and resolute actions of Governor Zheng, it took only five days to complete the reorganization of Lin Taipubiao Camp.
So at the beginning of December, just after entering the twelfth lunar month, Lin Taipu set out from Jincheng with General Da Shen, two hundred servants, and a thousand pacesetters, and embarked on the eastward journey.
In the Ming Dynasty, the concept of Shaanxi Province was completely different from that of later generations, and its area was much larger than that of later generations.
For example, the easternmost area of Gansu Province in later generations, Qingyang Prefecture, Pingliang Prefecture, Lintao Prefecture and other places now belong to Shaanxi Province and were only placed under Gansu Province in the Qing Dynasty.
Even Lanzhou, the capital of Gansu Province in later generations, was called Jincheng at this time, and most of it belonged to Shaanxi Province, which happened to be on the provincial border.
Although Lin Taipu has entered the hinterland of Shaanxi, Governor Zheng, who is in charge of the affairs of Shaanxi, Ningxia, Trilateral, Gansu and Qinghai, is still concerned about Lin Taipu's movements.
I heard that if Lin Taipu looks to the east, he will be happy; if Lin Taipu faces to the west, he will be worried.
At the end of the eighteenth year of Wanli, Lin Taipu was temporarily stationed in the ancient city of Xi'an.
On the day when the Kitchen God ascended to heaven, Governor Zheng was awakened by an urgent report early in the morning.
"What's going on? Huo Luochi is coming again?" Governor Zheng asked doubtfully.
The Chinese military officer reported: "Prince Qin's Mansion in Xi'an has come to file a complaint! Lin Taipu led 200 servants to beat hundreds of people from Prince Qin's Mansion in the streets of Xi'an!"
Governor Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and instructed: "As long as Lin Tailai doesn't beat King Qin to death, leave them alone! If you want to file a complaint, go to the emperor!"
Then he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Why did the fight start?"
The lieutenant general replied: "I heard that Mrs. Lin wanted to reserve a place in an elegant place, and she met some lieutenants of the Fengguo Kingdom of the Prince of Qin, and then they started fighting."
Governor Zheng was still very curious, "That won't lead to a beating with hundreds of people."
The lieutenant general continued to answer: "I also heard that during the quarrel, Mrs. Lin mocked the kings of Qin who always failed to give birth to sons and relied on sidemen to hold on to their titles time and time again."
Governor Zheng: "."
Damn it! It was so smart to send Lin Tailai away. His ability to cause trouble is simply unparalleled in the world.
If he files a complaint with the emperor, Lin Tailai may not be able to keep his salary next year.
The eighteenth year of Wanli passed like this, and the nineteenth year of Wanli arrived inadvertently.
On the seventh day of the new year, Governor Zheng heard the report that Lin Tailai had left Xi'an.
The good news is that Lin Tailai did not go west, but went north to Qingyang Mansion.
Governor Zheng couldn't hold back his curiosity again, "What is he going to do in the north?"
As we all know, the essence of Shaanxi is the Guanzhong Plain, and the two core regions are Xi'an Prefecture and Fengxiang Prefecture.
In charge of the province's food and salary errands, I usually just stay in these two prefectures.
Just after asking, Governor Zheng suddenly thought of something, "Is it possible that he still wants to find trouble with Kuaibai?"
The prefectures in the north of Shaanxi are all close to Bian Town. Yan'an Prefecture is to the south of Yulin Town, Qingyang Prefecture and Pingliang Prefecture are to the south of Ningxia Town.
In other words, Qingyang Mansion is close to Ningxia!
The Chinese officer reported in detail: "Li Mengyang, the former leader of the literary world and the founder of the retro style, was from Qingyang. I heard that Mrs. Lin was going to Qingyang to pay homage to Li Mengyang.
Taipu Lin said that it happened to be the sixty-year anniversary of Li Mengyang's death, so it must be worthy of commemoration."
After hearing the news, Governor Zheng didn't know what to say.
As a scholar-official, Governor Zheng was certainly aware of the situation in the literary world.
Let's put it this way, it can be said that the retro school was beaten to death by Lin Tailai.
Now the only facade of the retro group left is Wang Shizhen. Once Wang Shizhen dies, the retro group will be gone.
When Lin Tai comes to pay homage to Li Mengyang, the founder of the retro style, it feels like dancing on a grave.
The lieutenant officer thought of something and added: "Lin Taipu seems to have said that he wants to go to Pingliang Kongtong Mountain nearby to ask for martial arts lessons."
"I believe this!" Governor Zheng said with a complicated mood.
According to the practice of this era, when an official visits a certain place, he usually visits the local school.
So at this time, Lin Taipu was already standing in front of the Xue Minglun Hall of Qingyang Mansion, speaking to dozens of officials and scholars in the cold wind.
“A hundred years ago, Kongtong Gong Li Mengyang started from here, went to the national literary world, and became the leader of the world literary world!
I, Lin, have benefited a lot from Kongtong Gong and learned a lot!
It can be said that Kongtong Gong is the literary senior who has the greatest influence on me!
The story of Kongtong Gong beating the state relative Zhang Heling in the street tells me that the literary world also needs force!
I have been practicing my best for many years, and indeed I became the first deputy leader of the New Literary League, only half a step away from Kongtong Gong’s achievement in the literary world!
And this deed has always inspired me not to be afraid of the Zheng family, the relatives of the country, and I will have no regrets even if I receive a royal stick!"
Dozens of local officials and scholars: "."
Mrs. Lin, you are great at everything, just do whatever you say.
