The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Chapter 564: The Ministry of Personnel

After entering the door and showing "Lin Tailai", Zhao Zhigao began to worry about gains and losses again.

As a newcomer, am I too high-profile?

However, in the eyes of others, he is a transitional figure who will not be able to work for long at his advanced age.

So others should have a high tolerance for you, and it’s not an exaggeration to make a high profile once in a while, right?

Forget it, let's not think about it so much for now. My main task after joining the cabinet is to draft an edict to punish myself.

Today I hurriedly wrote a pretentious copy in Wenyuan Pavilion and handed it in. Lin Tailai was still waiting outside.

If you weren't afraid of others seeing the clues, you could have omitted even the pretentious drafting step in Wenyuan Pavilion.

In this way, in the dim single room of Wenyuan Pavilion, after lighting candles, Zhao Zhigao began the first draft edict in his career as a pavilion elder.

It's just that this office environment is really not friendly enough for the elderly who are dim-sighted.

When they got off work in the evening, the two elders, Wang Er and Wang San, were thinking about whether they should hold a banquet to welcome the new colleagues as a courtesy, but they saw Zhao Si leaving in a hurry.

But Zhao Zhigao did not go home and came directly to Lin Mansion.

At this time, the front hall of Lin Mansion was already filled with laughter and laughter, and many heroes gathered together.

Seeing Zhao Zhigao appear, Lin Tailai said loudly to everyone at the table: "Welcome our early member of the Update Society, Senior Zhao, to ascend to the throne and reach new highs!"

Everyone clapped and cheered together, and it felt really different to have a senior member of the club sitting in charge.

At the same time, everyone has to admire Lin Jiuyuan for being so awesome. A person like Senior Zhao, who is so old that half of his body is buried in the grave, can still push forward the cabinet.

It was time for the carnival. When it was about to end, Lin Tailai suddenly became serious again, "You still can't relax during this period."

Then he said to Shen Yongmao: "You still have to pay attention to your father's movements at all times and don't let him think about retreating again."

Shen Yongmao explained: "According to my inquiry, my father's original plan was to appoint Xu Xianqing in the Ministry of Rites and Shen Guanyi in the Ministry of Personnel.

If Yang Wei becomes old and unable to hold office in one or two years, Shen Guanyi will be appointed to replace Yang Wei as Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

But first Xu Xianqing was dismissed from office last winter, and now Yang Wei left early, but Shen Yiguan met Ding You and had to stay at home.

Therefore, my father's future plans have completely collapsed in the past six months, which has led to relatively large fluctuations in his mentality recently. "

Lin Tailai suddenly realized, no wonder Shen Shoufu was suddenly so fragile recently.

Then he instructed: "Continue to pay attention to your father's ideological developments, and if you have any questions, please report them as soon as possible."

Afterwards, Lin Tailai said to Wang Xiangmeng, the eldest nephew of the Wang family and a member of the Literary and Selection Department of the Ministry of Personnel:

"The focus of our recent work is on the official department. You should pay more attention to the trends in all aspects in the official department and help the community continue to penetrate the official department!"

Wang Xiangmeng asked: "Who do you want to get into the Ministry of Personnel as a minister or a minister? Zhao Qianxian?"

Lin Tailai replied: "This is confidential, you don't need to know it for the time being."

Wang Xiangmeng said dissatisfied: "Do we still need to keep it a secret? If we don't know the goal, how can we do our job easily?"

Lin Tailai said impatiently: "Why do you talk more than Mr. Zhao Ge? Just obey the command!"

Besides, why are you in a hurry? It would be better if the Ministry of Personnel did not have the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Zuo.

Only if there are no tigers in the mountains can a monkey like you become a king. "

I'm a monkey? Wang Xiangmeng quickly complained again: "I have a doctor above me, and as you know, the official department is full of clear water, and it is difficult for me to do things alone.

Originally, Senior Zhao was serving as Zuo Shilang to help, but now Senior Zhao has also joined the cabinet. "

This means that even if there are no tigers in the mountains, it will not be his turn to be the king. The objective conditions do not allow it.

Lin Tailai sighed and said helplessly: "It turns out that you can't even be a monkey."

Wang Xiangmeng: "."

How could you insult a member of the first department in the world like this?

Lin Tailai added: "The difficulties you mentioned do exist objectively, that's all. I don't count on you anymore."

After listening to Lin Tailai's instructions, everyone in the update club dispersed like birds and beasts.

Zhao Zhigao had only been working in the cabinet for two days when Emperor Wanli issued an edict to the guilty party.

The efficiency of the emperor's issuance of the imperial edict this time was comparable to that of getting Zhao Zhigao to join the cabinet. It was very fast and efficient.

This shows that Emperor Wanli really wanted to put an end to the disaster as soon as possible.

However, just like Zhao Zhigao's entry into the cabinet, the sinner edict was also issued quietly and did not attract much attention from the ministers.

On the one hand, disasters and edicts are completely useless, and outdated topics are not worth wasting energy anymore.

On the other hand, everyone is paying attention to the officials, who has the heart to read the sinner's edict.

The chief official of the Ministry of Personnel, Shangshu, and the first deputy Zuo Shilang were both short of people. This was a rare situation in the entire Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the most excited person in the official department is Chen Younian, the director of the Literary and Selection Department, because he is now the de facto boss of the official department.

There is a phenomenon in the Six Departments of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the actual power of each department, especially the core department minister, is greater than that of the minister.

Many ministerial discussions are often decided by the minister and the minister, and the minister, especially the right minister, can only praise the paintings from the side.

Now the three officials of the Ministry of Personnel have lost both Shangshu and Zuo Shilang, leaving only an old and sick Right Shilang who often stays at home to recuperate and does not take care of much.

Then Chen Younian, the first doctor in the literary and selection department, suddenly became the biggest one in the official department.

What's more, in the official department, many officials belong to the Qingliu forces, so Chen Younian has many supporters, and he can be regarded as the number one person in the official department during this window period.

Chen Younian privately said to Zhao Nanxing, Yu Zhan, Jiang Shixin and five or six other colleagues in the Ministry of Personnel: "The pace of selecting officials is controlled by our Ministry of Personnel. There is no need to rush to elect new Shangshu and Zuo Shilang. Try to delay as much time as possible.

While our colleagues are in control of the Ministry of Personnel, we should try our best to promote upright people and strengthen the foundation of the righteous path.

This is an extremely rare opportunity in recent years, comparable to the two years when Senior Shen presided over the Ministry of Personnel!"

After hearing these words, the morale of the clean forces in the Ministry of Personnel was infinitely high, and a sense of mission arose spontaneously.

The last time thirteen colleagues were demoted and suffered heavy losses, this time is a great opportunity to replenish blood!

The opportunity appeared so suddenly and unexpectedly, this is called the righteous path is not destroyed, and God is helping!

Seeing that the atmosphere was in place, Chen Younian took the lead in raising his arms and shouting passionately: "It is our responsibility to support the righteous path!"

Others also raised their hands. When they were about to shout, they suddenly heard a series of harsh bamboo whistles, followed by constant noise and noise.

As the current de facto boss of the Ministry of Personnel, Chen Younian was very dissatisfied with this noisy environment, so he shouted to the servant outside the door: "What's going on?"

Soon, the servant reported: "Lin Tailai brought countless servants to block the door of our Ministry of Personnel!"

Chen Younian asked: "Why did he come here?"

The servant replied: "He said that the official salary should be implemented, and the clerk in the front hall should do things according to the rules, and asked him to go back and wait for news.

He refused to agree, so he blocked the door and broke in!"

"What a bastard!" Chen Younian cursed.

Now is the time when Chen Younian's sense of ownership is the strongest. The Ministry of Personnel is like his own home. How can he allow thieves to make trouble?

So after cursing, Chen Younian immediately ordered: "Go and call the government troops! I, Chen Younian, said that there are thieves besieging the Ministry of Personnel and reinforcements are needed!"

Not to mention anything else, just say that there are thousands of government troops stationed in the Chang'an Zuomen next to the Ministry of Personnel.

If you, Lin Tailai, dare to openly violate the law and commit crimes, he, Chen Younian, will dare to bury it!

Suddenly, the clerk on duty ran over and shouted, "Lin Tailai is shouting at the gate, asking the current boss of the Ministry of Personnel to come out and talk!"

"Talk?" Chen Younian said with a little confusion, "What does this mean?"

The boss of the Ministry of Personnel refers to himself. Chen Younian can understand, but he really doesn't understand the meaning of talking.

The clerk replied, "It means to talk about things or negotiate."

Considering the need to establish an image, Chen Younian responded, "Then I will go out and meet him!"

The outside is shouting for the boss of the Ministry of Personnel to go out. Doesn't that mean that whoever goes out will be the boss of the Ministry of Personnel?

So I have to go out, I must go out, and go out publicly as the boss of the Ministry of Personnel!

And Chen Younian believes that his personal safety is not a big problem.

Now if even he gets into trouble, the Ministry of Personnel will be paralyzed, and Lin Tailai can't bear this responsibility.

And if he can go out and scold Lin Tailai in person, it will be a huge bonus to his image.

Using Lin Tailai to improve his reputation is simply wonderful.

With all the prestige and experience, after serving as a Langzhong in the Ministry of Literature, he will be transferred to a fourth-rank governor, and he will be promoted to a third-rank minister in a blink of an eye!

At this moment, the gate of the Ministry of Personnel has been occupied by the servants of the Lin Mansion. The tall and majestic Lin Tailai, wearing a red fat coat, still looks like a soldier, standing in the middle of the gate with his chest crossed and expressionless.

There is no way, he has not officially resumed his official position yet, and he cannot wear the official robe.

Other officials who came to do business and the Jinyiwei officers and students who were responsible for monitoring have been squeezed into the corner.

I can't bear to leave. There is a big excitement happening in front of me, and I will miss it if I don't watch it.

After watching it, you can grasp the first-hand hot materials, which is conducive to strengthening your ecological status in the social circle.

Chen Younian, who came out of the inner courtyard of the Ministry of Personnel, had his eyes wide open, his eyebrows raised, and pointed his finger like a spear, and shouted at Lin Tailai:

"Lin Tailai! How dare you do whatever you want here! I, Chen Younian, will represent the Ministry of Personnel and punish you!"

Lin Tailai took out a manuscript, held it high, and replied: "I came with an imperial edict to do business, and you, the Ministry of Personnel, sent a few clerks to send me away?

What's wrong with asking you, the superiors, to receive me?"

Chen Younian continued to scold: "It's nonsense! Where did you get the imperial edict?"

If there was an imperial edict about Lin Tailai's official position, it would definitely be sent directly to their Ministry of Personnel. How could he, the head of the Ministry of Personnel, not know about it?

Lin Tailai replied again: "I copied the imperial edict of guilt issued by the emperor to the subjects of the world yesterday!

The content involves how to arrange for me, Lin Tailai, so don't I count as doing things according to the imperial edict?"

Chen Younian: "."

It's easy to know that the imperial edict of guilt will definitely contain words like "Lin Tailai is reinstated."

Although this self-criticism edict was not specifically sent to Lin Tailai, in legal terms, it is the emperor's edict.

If someone uses the edict to implement personal treatment, according to etiquette and law, the head of the Ministry of Personnel should indeed come forward to receive him, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the edict.

Lin Tailai looked around at the officials who came to do business in the corners around him, and said loudly: "I have heard for a long time that the officials of the Ministry of Personnel think they are the head of the government office, and they are always high and mighty, and it is difficult to get in, have a bad face, and have things done!

A clerk in the Ministry of Personnel dares to scold the governor of another place! A Langguan in the Ministry of Personnel dares to contradict the governor!

Even if it is a hall official of the six ministries, when he arrives at the Ministry of Personnel, he has to look up to the two departments of selection and examination!

I didn't expect that I, Lin Tailai, could not even enter the courtyard when I was ordered to do business, but was scolded by the Langguan in charge!

Although I, Lin Tailai, am not a good person, I have some courage. Today I will talk to the Ministry of Personnel about the rules!"

Cheers came from the corners on both sides, and a large number of officials who came to work cheered for Lin Tailai.

Anyway, there was a crowd of people, and the officials in the Ministry of Personnel couldn't see clearly who was cheering.

As an old government cadre, Chen Younian also holds the power of the Department of Literature and Selection. He usually does not get angry or assertive, and few officials dare to make mistakes in front of him.

But now he, the boss of the official department, was being pointed out by hundreds of officials, and he was numb.

I didn't succeed in improving my reputation, but I was confused.

This Lin Tailai was so ungrateful that he actually mobilized the masses to challenge the authority of the officials!

Officials must not be insulted! If Lin Tailai hadn't been surrounded by one or two hundred servants, he would have beaten Lin Tailai out!

However, Chen Younian still restrained himself, and in this unfriendly environment, he bowed stiffly to Lin Tailai and said, "Since you are doing something under the imperial edict, let's go in and talk."

The entire staff rests on his shoulders. As the current boss of the staff, he cannot blatantly lose his composure and must maintain his grace.

Lin Tailai replied to Chen Younian: "I am just a small soldier, and I have already offended your officials.

I am afraid that I will be assassinated and shady after going in, or encounter something unexplainable.

Therefore, things should be done here and done openly in front of everyone. Only in this way can it be fair! "

Chen Younian couldn't help but shouted: "Isn't this reasonable?"

Among all court affairs, personnel and administration can be called the most mysterious and secretive affairs.

The specific process is often not disclosed to the outside world, and the officials will not explain anything to the outside world.

Otherwise, thousands of officials will come to ask for explanations, and the administrative work will not be carried out.

Therefore, Chen Younian is instinctively disgusted with "sunshine government affairs"!

In front of hundreds of people at the gate, openly handling official affairs, exposing the entire process to the public eye, thank you Lin Tailai for being able to think of it!

But Lin Tailai was very surprised and said: "I, the client who came to run for office, are not afraid of leaks and criticism, so what are you afraid of?

In broad daylight, don't you feel guilty? Then I won’t even dare to go in! "

"It's up to you." Chen Younian regained his elegant demeanor. As long as he entered the process within the rules, he would feel confident again.

As long as you, Lin Tailai, don't cause trouble and only do things, you won't get anything out of it.

Your business, Lin Tailai, is nothing more than reinstating the official to his original position and adding some extra materials, what kind of trouble can you make?

Could it be that you, Lin Tailai, can still be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, or the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel?

Get out of here when you're done! The Ministry of Civil Affairs is not a place for clowns like you to show off and sing temple dramas!
