After talking about the Minister of Dali Temple, of all the nominations for official positions today, only the least important one, Minister of Taipusi, is left.
There is no suspense about this. According to Lin Tailai's wishes, Zhao Qing, the young minister of Taipu Temple, was nominated.
In this way, Lin Tailai can be regarded as completing a "a thousand pieces of gold and a promise". In order to kill the former Taipusi Qing, he promised to cooperate with Zhao Qing.
Finally, Lin Tailai looked around the hall and warned: "In view of the fact that the previous nominations have been leaked in advance and caused accidents, I hope you will keep your mouth shut this time and not leak the nomination information!"
Although this kind of warning is most likely useless, the spread range can be reduced a little.
If you want to ensure that the nomination is passed through the court as much as possible, you must reduce troublesome factors as much as possible, and reducing the scope of proliferation can be considered a measure.
After the ministry meeting, Lin Tailai stayed to talk to Wang Tianguan alone, and told him: "As the saying goes, soldiers need to be quick, so we must seize the opportunity to pursue the victory!
So don’t delay the next step of the meeting, and hold it as soon as possible while the current situation is good, so as to avoid long nights and dreams.”
Wang Tianguan responded and said: "I will notify Jiuqing today and push it to the East Palace Fangting the day after tomorrow!"
Then Lin Tailai talked about something else and asked Wang Tianguan: "I have been ordered to establish the Communications Department of the Ministry of War. How about transferring your son to the Communications Department?"
Among the backbone of the Update Society, Uncle Shen Yongmao is at the headquarters of the Ministry of War, and Wang Shiqi, the eldest son of Wang Tianguan, is also at the headquarters of the Ministry of War.
Lin Tailai felt that this was a waste of human resources, so he thought of transferring Wang Shiqi to be the head of the Communications Department.
Of course Wang Tianguan had no objection, and expressed his position: "My son is still shallow, so it would be great to go to the Communications Department and be taken care of by you, Jiuyuan."
Then he asked curiously: "Do the officials of the Communications Department already have candidates?"
The deployment of officials also requires the cooperation of the civil servants and heavenly officials. Lin Tailai answered truthfully: "After brewing for a period of time, Shi Gan was chosen as the chief minister. In addition to the son, the chief officer was selected from the supervisors who participated in the literary conference."
Although Wang Tianguan was not a man skilled in political power, he also saw the benefits of such an arrangement.
At first, Qi Baoshan, Qi Shichen, and Shi Gandang Ke Ting went to join Lin Tailai through Zhao Zhigao.
Later, Qi Baoshan was lured back by the chief minister and was nominated as a candidate for the minister of Dali Temple. However, Shi Gandang had a more upright attitude and participated in literary conferences.
Therefore, this promotion of Ke Ting from senior censor to wailang, communications department member, can be regarded as a reward that can be shown to others.
As for choosing supervisors who have participated in literary conferences as chief officers, it not only rewards based on merit, but also ensures loyalty.
Besides Lin Tailai, who would promote you supervisors to be the directors of the Sixth Department? Can these supervisors become Lin Tailai's die-hard followers?
Wang Tianguan couldn't help but praise: "It's true that there is no restriction on one's style, but only talent. The Duke of Zhou spits out his breasts, and the world returns to its heart."
Lin Tailai: "."
After all, he is also a leader in the literary world, but he doesn’t even know how to praise others correctly?
After returning home, Lin Tailai thought about it, quickly put everything in order in the capital, and then returned home quickly.
Time is still quite tight. After all, war will break out again next spring, and I have to travel back and forth between the capital and Jiangnan.
So he summoned his guest Gu Bingqian and told him: "Get ready to leave Beijing now. We expect to return to Suzhou as early as one month or as late as two months."
Then he added: "This time we are going south, instead of taking the canal, we will first take the overland route via Zhili, Henan, and Huguang.
Then we will go back down the river to Suzhou via Nanjing, and then go north along the canal when we return to Beijing next year."
Gu Bingqian asked in confusion: "What is the profound meaning of the proprietor's arrangement?"
Having nothing to hide from his disciples, Lin Tailai replied with deep emotion: "After the experience of the past month, I am deeply aware of the lack of talents in the imperial court.
Therefore, as a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs Examination Department, I will visit a few more provinces when I return home this time, pay close attention to the officials of the third and fourth grades in each province, and try my best to find talents for the imperial court."
Gu Bingqian: "."
While we were talking, the doorman came to report that Mr. Shen Mansion had come to visit.
Lin Tailai invited the person to the study and asked proactively: "Are you here to intercede for your father?"
Shen Yongmao replied: "Send a message to my father. He wants to meet you before the trial."
Lin Tailai said coldly: "There is no need for this at the moment, right? After the ting is over, let your father come to see her. No, I will go see her."
Shen Yongmao didn't mind Lin Tailai's attitude, "I know, I'll reply now."
After returning home, he complained to his father: "I told you not to think about beating Lin Jiuyuan, but you are stubborn.
Now I'm fine, but I was beaten by Lin Jiuyuan, and it's hard for me to speak when he calls me my son!"
Shen Shoufu said angrily: "Let's see what the outcome of the trial is first!"
The next day, when Lin Tailai went out, he told his left and right: "Go to the Host and Guest Department of the Ministry of Etiquette first!"
This itinerary surprised the Zhang brothers. Under normal circumstances, Lin Tailai would go to the Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Civil Affairs first after going out.
When he arrived at the Host and Guest Department, Lin Tailai summoned the officials and asked, "Is there any North Korean mission in the near future?"
All the officials were surprised. In the two years since Lin Shangguan came to the Host and Guest Department, he had never paid such attention to the Korean mission.
After thinking for a while, Yuanwai Lang Zhong Huamin replied: "As usual, a North Korean mission should arrive at the end of this month to congratulate the Wanshou Festival at the beginning of next month."
Lin Tailai said: "When the Korean delegation comes, I will ask for the geographical map of Korean mountains and rivers, as well as descriptions of local customs and customs!
The more detailed the better! If they don’t have it, ask them to write it and draw it!”
The officials were shocked. In this era, "presenting a map" had a special meaning, symbolizing complete surrender!
Lin Tailai asked for a detailed geographical map of North Korea's mountains and rivers. Do you think you want to turn that place into a province?
Lin Tailai quickly explained: "Don't think too much, don't misunderstand! This is my personal behavior, please don't escalate it to the national level!"
At this time, he suddenly heard a noise in the direction of the courtyard door. Lin Tailai shouted to the door: "What's the situation? Who is making trouble?"
A servant outside the door replied: "Master Chen, the head of the Hanlin Academy, rushed over and said he wanted to argue with Chief Lin!"
Lin Tailai suddenly thought, "What the hell". He didn't want to go to the Hanlin Academy because he wanted to avoid Bachelor Chen.
But I never expected that Bachelor Chen would be able to lose face and go to the Ministry of Rites to block him!
Lin Tailai couldn't help complaining to his subordinates: "I said two years ago that the Department of Rites' defense is too weak and often ineffective!
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye, and there is still no change! How can an outsider like Bachelor Chen rush in casually!"
The servant had to remind him: "Scholar Chen still holds the title of Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Etiquette. If he wants to come in, there is no reason for the access control to stop him."
Lin Tailai said helplessly: "Block Bachelor Chen out of the courtyard! I'll climb over the back wall and leave!"
After that, Lin Tailai climbed over the wall and hid back at home. Anyway, it was inconvenient to make any big moves until the dust settled in Tingtui.
Another day later, Wang Tianguan summoned other ministers to once again conduct nominations for vacant official posts in the East Chamber.
Wang Tianguan stood in front of everyone and said at the beginning: "If there is still no result in this court test, you will bear the consequences at your own risk! Don't say that this department is unforeseen!"
Everyone had a vague feeling that Wang Tianguan actually had a bit of domineering energy in him.
This kind of domineering attitude is nothing for the position of Minister of Civil Affairs, but Wang Tianguan has never had it before.
After that, the process went smoothly. Yu Shenxing, the Minister of Rites, was transferred to the Minister of Hubu, and no one from all parties opposed it.
Now the Qingliu forces, the cabinet and other parties have a mentality of winning without losing. It is better to let Yu Shenxing, an independent person, take over than to let the bitter enemy take over.
As for Luo Wan, the number one scholar in the second year of Longqing's reign, who became the Minister of Rites, the people on Shen Shoufu's side had no objections, but the Qingliu forces raised some objections.
Wang Tianguan said without raising his eyelids: "Lin Tailai originally wanted to nominate Liu Yukui, the left hall of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. If Luo Wanhua is not used, why should he choose Liu Yukui?"
So the Qingliu forces here also stopped, otherwise they would really have to send their own people to sacrifice to heaven.
When it came time to recommend candidates for Minister of Industry, Wang Tianguan said directly: "Lin Tailai proposed the governor of Shaanxi. The former rebellious governor of Ningxia, Ye Mengxiong, who objects?"
Everyone was speechless for a moment. What are they opposing? Wang Tianguan, please make it clear. Are you opposing the nomination or Lin Tailai?
In an unruffled silence, the unopposed nomination passed.
Wang Tianguan sighed secretly, since he took office more than a year ago, today's court promotion is really the easiest one.
