Although Feng Lun is old, he arrived much faster than Huang Pu Wuyi.
When I arrived outside the palace, I was told to wait for the summons outside the palace. The emperor was meeting someone.
Soon he met Huang Pu Wuyi. Under Li Yuan's rule, one of them was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the other was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. They were serious fellow ministers.
It's just that the two people have very different family backgrounds and temperaments, and they have little friendship. At this time, they didn't know that the other was their competitor. After bowing to each other, they waited for the emperor to summon them with their own concerns.
The person meeting in the palace was none other than Huangmen Shilang Wei Jie. According to the rules, the documents he requested to be transferred would be handed over to Zhongshu, and then he would give his opinions and send them to the emperor for reading. If the emperor agreed, he would let him go.
The Ministry of Officials issued an order.
Unless there are some critical people, or people the emperor wants to retain, the emperor will personally issue an edict to express condolences, redeem them, or agree to them. If they agree, most of them will be given honors.
Of course, if it's a promotion, that's a different matter.
People like Wei Jie who apply to be transferred out of their own department to work elsewhere and have certain requirements for the position are equivalent to being demoted from official positions. They are rare in Japan, and most of them are like this because of illness.
In those days, the official position was governed by the rule of law. There were generally four kinds of endings for an official. One was to resign oneself and return home, and the other was that the emperor or superior officer saw that you were no longer worthy of being reused, so they forced you to retire.
Make way for others.
Another way is that he made a mistake and was dismissed from his position. This is also quite common.
The last one is the mainstream. Many women died in office. Only in this way can they get increased rewards from the court. It is considered a complete work-related injury, and they will be mourned and honored, and even their descendants will be honored.
That's how it comes to working hard and dying.
Wei Jie simply didn't want to continue working as the Huangmen's Minister, so he applied for transfer. Generally, people would not do this. Only those people with family background, temperament and personality would do so.
It will be so.
Generally speaking, if a ** is not happy with his job and wants to find another job, what is the process? First, he has to choose one or several official positions based on his own situation, and then he has to work diligently and get things done in private.
It's ready.
Then you don't need to apply for transfer or anything. Instead, the superior officer or the yamen directly under your control will give reasons and be transferred from top to bottom.
As for whether you will be promoted, transferred at the same level, or demoted, it all depends on whether you are able to move around effectively, whether there are people who are sincerely helping you, etc.
A high-ranking official like Wei Jie, or even a prime minister, could be transferred out only by persuading the emperor or the emperor's favorites to speak for themselves.
Wei Jie didn't seek advancement, and he didn't go to too much trouble. He relied not only on his own personality, but also on his family. The Wei family was a powerful family in the capital, and people like Wei Jie who had reached the level of Huangmen Shilang,
As long as he did not commit rebellion or commit other unforgivable crimes, even if the emperor did not like him, he would not be able to do anything to him casually.
In addition, he was on good terms with Li Jing and saved Li Jing from misfortunes several times, so he felt that it shouldn't be a big deal if he was just being transferred from a position or being demoted.
What he thought was actually correct. Li Po really didn't think it was a big deal, but he was a little unhappy with the reason Wei Jie gave.
What does it mean that I am getting older and have to be locked up in the palace every day? After many years, I have become physically and mentally exhausted, so I asked for a replacement...
Li Po thought he was joking at first, but after talking to Wei Jie for a while, he realized that this was another guy who looked lazy but was actually quite conceited. Generally speaking, he probably didn't want to find his own shortcomings, or he really couldn't find them.
, so he casually gave a reason.
As the minister of Huangmen, even though Wei Jie "hided" at home for many days, Li Po still met with him several times and felt that his guesses were close to ten.
"Wei Xilang and I first met in Jiangjun, right?"
Perhaps because he felt that what he did was indeed a little wrong, Wei Jie kept talking and answering questions, and he felt a bit like "confessing guilt".
"The Supreme Lord remembers it well. The minister and... are Li Yuan's envoys. I still remember that the war ended, Li Shentong was captured, Xijing was shaken, and he had to go to seek peace..."
After a small flattery, a smile finally appeared on the still handsome face, "The Supreme Being had not left Zhengchen at that time, but his conversation was quite pleasant and interesting. At that time, I felt that this day might be possible in the future."
Of course, with his temperament, he must have added a few words in his heart. At that time, you were still mocking my appearance, but after that, you still had to call me Uncle Wei honestly, and your attention was definitely not on us.
On Wei Jie's body...
Li Po's attention was definitely not on Wei Jie at that time, but he would definitely not admit it, "Yeah, so many years have passed in a flash, and I was thinking at that time, what is the position of Huangmen Shilang? Today counts.
I understand, it turns out that the palace is closed and locked...
It can be regarded as gaining a lot of experience.”
Wei Jie was stunned for a moment, and then secretly said something bad. Medicine Master Li hurriedly went to serve in the army. Was he going to turn his back on him?
He was no longer as determined as he was when he wrote a resignation letter with nonsense, he immediately stood up and bowed to the ground.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I have been serving as the Minister of Huangmen for more than ten years, and I have been deeply disturbed by it. However, I did this ridiculous move for some reasons that I could not express. If Your Majesty does not allow it, then I...
..”
Now that Li Po is dissatisfied, no matter who you are, you must pick up the stick and see what your attitude is. Even Wen Yanbo is not immune, let alone Wei Jie.
Of course, having said that, scaring is enough. Wei Jie's kindness to Li Yaoshi is actually equivalent to his kindness to Li Po. He must show some kindness when things happen. If you think about it carefully, how can he be kind to Li Po today?
How many people are unworthy of kindness?
However, after hearing Wei Jie's explanation, he became a little curious, "Don't panic, I'm just talking. What was Zhongshu's approval on your resignation article?
They feel that it is really hard for you to lock the palace door every night, so they have to leave it to you to unlock the door in the morning, and you don't need to worry about other things."
Hearing this, Wei Jie almost ducked, and couldn't help but cursed Xiao Yu in his heart. Fortunately, he gave Xiao Yu so many smiles, but this old man didn't show any kindness to him.
Having said this, Li Po was also happy. As long as you live long enough, you can see all kinds of jokes.
In the past, he didn't know much about the functions of these official positions, but it changed after he became king. Important positions like Huangmen Shilang were not established in the Han Palace, but he still understood the responsibilities.
At first, the Huangmen Shilang was the emperor's attendant, so the chief under the gate was called Shizhong, and the Menxiasheng was the department that served the emperor personally. The attendants served tea and water, and the more talented ones could advise and answer questions. In fact, most of them were
Just chatting or something.
Later, it is estimated that during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, in order to contain the powerful ministers of other dynasties, the power and responsibilities of Menxia Province began to become heavier. In the former Sui Dynasty, the trend of centralization became more and more clear.
Then the Menxia Province became the emperor's tool to control and supervise the outer dynasty. Its functions and powers became more and more important, and gradually became parallel to the two provinces of Zhongshu and Shangshu. When Yang Su was in charge of the Menxia Province, his power even exceeded those of Zhongshu and Shangshu.
.
Of course, the names of the provinces have also changed, so I won’t list them one by one.
Therefore, Wei Jie's reason for resigning from the post of Huangmen Minister was really unacceptable, and the approval from Zhongshu also clearly expressed their anger.
Wei Jie is well versed in world affairs, but this time he did something stupid by relying on his friendship with Li Jing. Well, maybe he stayed with Li Jing for too long and occasionally got silly.
"Since there is a reason, let's talk about it. You shouldn't be afraid of me spreading the news, right?"
Wei Jie looked around and said: "It's not a big deal. When I walk around in the palace, it is easy to attract criticism. It's just that over time, everyone has become accustomed to it, but I have to be cautious all the time."
He was careful not to cause trouble. After many years, he was never tired in official duties, but in private, he was uneasy and tired of coping.
I would also like to ask Your Majesty to agree to your request since I will not cause any trouble to Your Majesty when I go to Jiangjun."
Li Po was stunned for a moment, and after looking at Wei Jie's figure and face, he finally understood. He couldn't help but cursed, "Is there workplace harassment in these days? That's enough."
Thinking of the wonderful things, I couldn't help but sympathize with it, and then I felt a little envious. Seeing that such a faceless person could rely on it to make a living.
What he was thinking was a bit out of tune and very inconsistent with his status.
He was thinking dirty thoughts, but he still pretended to have a look of surprise on his face, "So that's the case, it's excusable... Let's do this, you relinquish your post as Huangmen's Minister and become the Shaofu's Supervisor. I have other things to do."
, don’t talk to me about opening and closing doors again, if that doesn’t work, then go serve in the army.”
After saying that, he waved his hand, indicating that you can leave.
Wei Jie got a big surprise. The Shaofujian was a serious and generous position. He was responsible for manufacturing palace utensils, arranging activities for the emperor and nobles to play and hunt, as well as minting coins. In addition, the Shaofujian was responsible for trading with foreign countries.
Yu Wenkai, He Chou, Yun Dingxing, etc. have all served as supervisors of the Shaofu. From a senior official of the third rank, there is no doubt that he has been promoted.
Moreover, the Shaofu Supervisor was independent of other government offices, but was inextricably linked to Taichang Temple, the Ministry of Household Affairs and other government offices. He had heavy powers and responsibilities, and could not be trusted except by the emperor's confidants.
Wei Jie understood immediately that he was getting a big deal. It was obviously the emperor who was rewarding him for the things he had done over the years. Most of what he said before was caused by the emperor's curiosity and was not really dissatisfied with him.
.
Wei Jie thanked him and walked out of the side hall with steady steps. He met Feng Deyi and Huang Pu Wuyi outside. After bowing to each other and saying hello, Wei Jie went on his own.
