After the court recommendation, the ministers in the ministry were in mixed moods. The results of the court recommendation were reported to the Ministry of Personnel, and the cabinet academicians were also in mixed moods.
This is a large-scale nomination that is completely outside the control of the cabinet, and may even be the first time in recent decades.
It is hard to imagine that a young man who has been in the court for two years and is only a fourth-grade man can actually complete such an operation.
In the political tradition of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor can only make the final decision on the court decisions of ministers from foreign dynasties. Governmental affairs belong to the emperor, and even the officials can theoretically act on their behalf.
The cabinet can use off-site factors to interfere and influence the nomination, but generally cannot veto the results of the nomination in terms of procedures, otherwise it will be a major political event.
So with the end of the court push, this turmoil is over, and the court can finally be quiet for a few days.
The eldest son of Shen Mansion, Shen Yongmao, walked out of his house as if he was disowning his relatives, got on his horse and went to work at the Ministry of War.
After more than half a month of suffering, he finally found some relief because he was caught in the middle due to his special identity.
The only thing that needs to be considered now is how to bring Lin Jiuyuan and his father together for a meeting.
When passing by the right gate of Chang'an, Shen Yongmao saw from a distance that there were more than a dozen people standing under the wall and watching something.
Officials in the capital with a little experience can guess that someone must have posted another post. In recent years, there have been more and more cases of posting "reveal posts" with large characters on the streets to criticize current events and discuss politics.
After Lin Jiuyuan entered the DPRK the year before last, he named the large-character posters posted on the streets "big-character posters", which was quite vivid.
Uncle Shen thought, since he was passing by, he would take a look, then turned around and passed.
When other people saw Shen Yongmao, for some unknown reason, they took the initiative to get out of the way.
As a result, Uncle Shen didn't even need to get off his horse, he just came closer and took a look. All he saw was written in sharp strokes:
"Before Yiyou (the thirteenth year of Wanli), the first assistant was like a rat in prison, he was still cowardly and did not dare to do anything;
After Yiyou, the current behavior is still like a tiger in the corner, it is violent but cannot be violated!
So why is this so? Jiuyuan Lin Tailai is the party!
Anyone who deceives the emperor and ignores his superiors, why can't he bear it? After joining Jiuyuan Lin Tailai, who would dare to offend him?"
Shen Yongmao: "."
The other people nearby stopped reading the "big-character poster" and all looked at Uncle Shen.
After Uncle Shen came to his senses, he roared angrily: "It's not over yet!"
Same trick, again for the second time!
Shen Yongmao then turned his horse around and ran all the way home, successfully stopping his father at the gate.
"Calm down! Calm down!" Uncle Shen tried his best to persuade, but he was not very good at eloquence and kept repeating the word "calm down".
Shen Shoufu's face was livid, what a bunch of people who dared not face Lin Tailai directly and only dared to provoke the honest chief minister! Should honest people be wantonly insulted?
My mind went over and over again, and finally Shen Shoufu claimed that he was ill and could not recover.
Lin Tailai couldn't care less about the mood of the chief minister. The most troublesome issue at present was the location selection of the Communications Department of the Ministry of War.
The current members of the preparatory team of the Communications Department of the Ministry of War include team leader Lin Tailai, deputy team leader Ke Ting, team member A Wang Shiqi, team member B, and team member C.
After several inspections, the team members agreed that the area near Jiaofangsi Hutong in Dongcheng was not suitable as an office address.
The Southern District of the Imperial City is still the best. Everyone wants to work here, but it is really difficult for latecomers to find a place in this prime government area.
Members B and C in the group were both supervisory students. They were promoted because they participated in a literary conference and were inspected by Lin Tailai.
On this day, team member Yi Zhishu reported to Lin Tailai in private: "Jiu Yuan Gong! I have a plan that will definitely win space for our company, but it will take some time to take effect."
Lin Tailai was very surprised. Ben Zhenxian couldn't think of a solution for a moment. What ideas can you, a supervisor, have?
Yi Zhishu vowed: "As long as you lend me ten servants, as early as a few days or as late as half a month, there will be results!"
Every night after that, Yi Zhishu took ten strong men to the door of the house of Mr. He, the minister of Honglu Temple, and cursed him as a "traitor" and "a fu's chief assistant" until midnight.
Ten days later, Old Man He was so exhausted that he resigned and returned home.
Without waiting for the court to persuade him to stay, Old Man He abandoned his official position and left, leaving Honglu Temple without a leader.
Then Yi Zhishu immediately returned and said: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my destiny and succeeded! Now we can go to Honglu Temple to enclose the land."
Lin Tailai: "."
This kind of person with a low background can really show his face. Others around him, even people like Zhou Yingqiu and Gu Bingqian, can't do anything like blocking the door and swearing in the street.
Yi Zhishu added: "Dong Jiuyuan is in the Ministry of Personnel. Please be careful not to let the Ministry of Personnel nominate the minister of Honglu Temple in the near future. Let the minister of Honglu Temple be vacant for a while first."
Lin Tailai sighed to himself, as expected, there were indeed talents among the "wild people", but they just lacked opportunities.
Afterwards, during this gap period, Lin Tailai led his servants to quickly seize half of the Honglu Temple site as the office address of the Communications Department of the Ministry of War.
He also urgently asked Li Rusong to borrow a group of military craftsmen to first put up the separation wall, and then began to build the main hall.
Lin Tailai had only one request for this: before he left Beijing, he should build the main hall of the Communications Department of the Ministry of War!
At the end of August, Ye Mengxiong, a Jinshi of the Jiajing Dynasty, who was promoted from the governor of Shaanxi and governor of Ningxia to the minister of the Ministry of Industry, came to Beijing at the age of sixty-one.
Although Ye Shangshu was born in a remote place and has always been an official in the local area, and his connections in the court are not strong enough, who in the world does not have a few friends from the same hometown in his life?
Moreover, in the concept of official circles, the minister who sits in charge of the ministry is ranked among the seven ministers, which is higher than the governor, so there will definitely be no shortage of people to join in the fun.
Therefore, at the reception pavilion outside the city, Ye Shangshu was exchanging greetings with a group of officials who came to greet him.
Looking at the smiling faces full of compliments, Ye Shangshu was filled with emotion.
He had never imagined before that, with his seemingly absent upper-level connections, he could actually be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry, ranking among the Seven Ministers of the Imperial Court.
There are more than twenty governors and six or seven governors in the country. Why should good things happen to me?
I originally thought that after the aftermath work was completely completed, it would be enough to be promoted to the governor of the three sides, so I never thought about the matter of minister.
Fortunately, he had a good temper. When he was fighting the rebellion in the first half of the year, he didn't quarrel with Lin Jiuyuan, who was trying to steal his power.
It's true that you can take a step back and calm down, and endure the sea and the sky for a while.
Otherwise, if the court lacks a minister, Zheng Luo, the governor-general in the northwest, would be more suitable than himself.
Under normal circumstances, it would have been Zheng Luo who returned to the capital as minister, and he would have succeeded Zheng Luo as the governor.
As a result, Zheng Luo, who had a disagreement with Lin Tailai, continued to stay in the northwest, and he was able to be promoted back to the court.
Suddenly there was the sound of horse hoofbeats, and everyone followed the sound, only to see a group of knights riding tall horses galloping from the direction of the city gate.
Not far away, the tall and majestic knight in front shouted loudly: "I have come to see you well, Mr. Ye!"
When the officials at the reception pavilion recognized the person, they were all shocked!
This is Lin Tailai and Lin Jiuyuan! Lin Jiuyuan actually came to greet Ye Mengxiong in person! This courtesy is simply incredible!
You know, even when Wang Tianguan came to Beijing last year, Lin Tailai did not come out to greet him personally!
Could it be that in Lin Jiuyuan's mind, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is more important than the Minister of the Ministry of Officials?
Ye Mengxiong was also confused. He had worked with Lin Jiuyuan for several months in the first half of the year, and he understood Lin Jiuyuan's habits very well.
At that time, Lin Jiuyuan was extremely rude to his nominal leader.
But now, after Lin Tailai showed kindness to him, he was treated with courtesy and grandeur, which was really weird.
