If one were to select the most popular professions among travelers from the Ming Dynasty, Jin Yiwei's popularity would definitely rank among the top three.
Although the Jin Yiwei of the Jinghe Dynasty still wore the iconic flying fish uniforms and embroidered spring knives, they were still the emperor's personal guards. However, the famous southern and northern towns of Fusi have long since become historical relics, and there is no such thing as the town of Fusi and the imperial edict.
The Jinyiwei is no longer a royal law enforcement agency that is superior to the Three Law Divisions.
In fact, the current Jinyiwei is similar to the Cilin official in some aspects. Hanlin, Zhanshi, and Zhongshuke are the most noble official positions among civil servants. In terms of status, they are the emperor's close servants, so the Jinyiwei can be compared to the Hanlin among the military officials.
You can get a glimpse of it from the ranks of the court meeting. In front of the emperor's throne, the civil servants on the left and right are Hanlin and Zhongshu Ke, and the military officials surrounding the escort are the Jinyiwei. The so-called "the beauty of heaven is within easy reach" is such a group of people.
.
The descendants of the emperor's relatives and nobles, those who failed to study, tried their best to join the Jinyiwei. Not only was the salary generous, but the title of the emperor's personal guard was also decent. If you are willing to work hard, you can register as an errand, and those who are lazy can live with their salary. Therefore, the Jinyiwei's name
The position of honorary officer is very popular. I don’t know where the Princess Guide got the position of a member of the fifth rank and a thousand households.
In addition, civil and military honors have different paths. Even if you are a senior scholar in the civil service, your son will be a sixth- or seventh-grade idle official in the inner court departments such as Shangbaosi and Guanglu Temple, and it cannot be hereditary.
Therefore, the temptation of Qianhu, a fifth-grade Jinyiwei guard, was quite powerful, and it made Li You's heart shake, really shaken.
Although Mr. Li prides himself on being a civil servant in his daily life, he is actually a pseudo-civilian in his psychology. As a time traveler, he has not experienced the thorough torture of ten years of hard work, the endless hardships of scientific examinations, and everything else.
Influenced by the worldly customs, there is no real firm stand.
If you have a position, it means that pragmatism comes first. If the gimmick of being a civilian official is easy to use, use it. If it is limited to your background, the road ahead of the civilian official seems to be full of obstacles, but if a military attache can jump to the fifth rank, then...
Although military attachés are not as valuable as civil servants and do not have much say in government affairs, they have added two levels at once, and they can inherit wealth and rank. There is no shortage of ways to rise in the emperor's side, and they will not be looked down upon because they are not from the imperial examination. In total, it is still
It's quite a bargain, but it may alienate some people...such as Xu Tianguan.
Princess Guide watched secretly from the side and realized that she had finally hit the point. She first lectured on the principles of monarch and minister, but Li You remained silent, and then tempted her with high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but Li You also remained silent.
But when he was silent the first time, Mr. Li kept wandering, and when he was silent the next time, he was concentrating on thinking. This is enough to explain many problems. First, although Mr. Li is young, he is not pure and passionate; secondly,
, Mr. Li is a person with very complex ideas.
"When a man is alive, all he wants is to be his wife and his son. I pity you for your talent, and even the seventh rank is hard-won. I will give you wealth before your eyes. With just a little effort, what else can Mr. Li do?" Princess Guide.
Suddenly there was another fishing trip.
At this time, Li You heard another loud shout from behind: "Get out of the way!"
Turning around, he saw Consort Lin bursting in angrily, and he pushed away the two internal guards who were blocking the door.
When the master arrived, Li You stepped forward and bowed his hands in greeting, but Consort Lin stood a few steps in front of him and cursed: "You treacherous villain! You still have the nerve to come to my house!"
It is said that Consort Lin was so "awakened" by Li You's suggestion of "Xiu Qi Zhiping" last time that he took the initiative to share the worries for his wife and asked Ying to be the secretary of the vote-sharing committee. The eldest princess also gave him a rare good look.
Just waiting to persuade Cisheng Palace to issue the imperial edict and appoint Lin's consort before the Ministry of Personnel, the matter is settled. The scholars in the two rooms and two halls of the inner court are different from the officials of the outer court who must be selected by the Ministry of Personnel. They are directly appointed by the royal family.
Appointment can also be done, and officials can be selected in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. They are all in compliance with the rules. It mainly depends on the specific situation, or in other words, first come, first served.
It was not difficult for the eldest princess to seize this position with great responsibility and great potential. Others did not know that she had this intention, so they did not take precautions. Under normal circumstances, there is still some time before the general election next month, which is enough for the eldest princess to go.
To convince the Queen Mother.
Unexpectedly, the day before yesterday, the Ministry of Personnel unexpectedly went out of its way to select an official for Li You, and the one he chose was the official position of Secretary of the People's Republic of China. As long as he was approved as usual, he would be the first to do so.
Seeing the name Li You and remembering that Lin's consort happened to have met Li You last night, the eldest princess felt that this must not be a coincidence and called the consort over for interrogation.
The truth was revealed in an instant. Lin Consort was not trustworthy, and she even revealed her secret plan to Li You in advance without any care... It can be said that she was not afraid of opponents who were like gods, but only teammates who were like pigs.
For Prince Consort Lin, who learned the truth, this was simply a trick that was more embarrassing than being beaten up in the street. Not only did he humiliate himself in front of his wife, it would be a huge joke. He went out today, and when he got home, he heard that
Li You was in the hall and couldn't help but come over and scold him.
Almost being sprayed with saliva by Lin's consort, Li You could only sigh in his heart, everyone is a mature and sensible person, don't be so childish and can't afford to lose, okay? Your princess didn't use this as an excuse, you
What kind of anger did you get?
When Lin's consort was about to continue insulting Li You, he heard Princess Guide categorically scolding Lin's consort: "Get out!"
Under the prestige of the emperor's daughter, Lin's consort did not dare to make a mistake. It would be even more embarrassing if he was lifted up and thrown out by the prison guards, so he had no choice but to suddenly throw away his sleeves and walk out in anger.
Li You turned around and was about to say "Thank you, Your Highness, for rescuing the siege" when he saw Guide Chitose watching the consort leave. His face, which was originally stern and energetic, showed a hint of fatigue. He sighed quietly for a long time and lowered his voice.
He chanted in a shallow voice: "If life were just like the first time we met..."
The voice was very small and imperceptible. If Li You hadn't been so close, he wouldn't have been able to hear what she was saying.
This noble lady from the Heavenly Family lost her composure for some unknown reason... Surrounded by a dozen palace maids and eunuchs, they all lowered their heads, some of them deaf and some blind.
As the saying goes, there is a fear of comparison between goods...Guide Chitose just subconsciously made a comparison, so she lost her composure.
Li You and the consort have many similarities when they stand together. They are both talented and handsome, and they are both young and weak. However, their backgrounds are as different as clouds and mud. A subordinate official who started his career is like a pit in the mud.
A son from a rich family who ascends to the throne and becomes a son-in-law is as if he is in the auspicious clouds in the sky.
But the one who should have been wallowing in the mud all his life worked hard and became a seventh-rank court official, and even more capable of entering the capital alone to win the favor of important ministers; but this one in the clouds is like Adou who cannot be supported.
But it was of no help.
One is a capable person who can be used as his right-hand man, while the other can only be used as a flashy decoration.
When he first recruited the consort, Mr. Lin was so impressed, but now I can only sigh in disappointment, "If only life was like the first time we met."
Consort Lin's interference made Li You sober up. Although the fifth-grade imperial guard at his fingertips was good, pie in the sky would not fall into the sky. Many experiences and lessons had taught him that things would not be too simple.
But why Princess Chitose's eyes suddenly became gentle... Li You was very confused.
