In fact, although Zhao Lian has not collapsed yet, he is not far from collapse.

When Zhao Lian learned that he had been transferred to the right censor of the Censorate of the Censorate, he was excited. This was not only a noble yamen, but also a powerful yamen. Although he was still not one of the Nine Ministers, he was only one step away from the Nine Ministers.

In comparison, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing is far behind.

It is very difficult for the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing to be transferred to the Nine Ministers of the Capital City. Basically, he needs to release the governor and then transfer him back to Beijing. The Right Censor of the Censorate of the Censorate has no such concern and can go directly to the Jiuqing.

But after arriving in the capital, Zhao Lian was in a bad mood.

After learning about the duties of the Right Censor of the Censorate, he was completely in a state of discomfort.

Although the right censor of the Censorate of the Censorate has a high position and is now in control of two major killer yamen, namely the Law and Discipline Department and the Corruption Department. However, these two yamen are now hot potatoes and are not easy to handle.

After hearing the legend of his own reputation, Zhao Lian felt a sudden slap in his heart. The emperor was going to treat himself as a knife.

In history, there is no cruel official in the end, what should I do? If you become this official, your future will be bleak. If you don’t do it well, your family will be destroyed. If you don’t become this official, you will probably have your family will be destroyed now.

The emperor trusts himself very much and gives the Law and Discipline Department and the Corruption Department to himself. If he doesn't do it, this is to slap the emperor in the face and make the emperor lose face. If he slap the emperor in the face and make the emperor lose face, can he live a better life?

Walking on the way into the palace, Zhao Lian was worried about what he should do.

What was Zhu Yijun doing at this time?

He is teasing the birds.

The parrots that paid tribute a few years ago are old now and bask in the sun every day. However, they are taught by eunuchs and are very good at flattering. They shout for the emperor long live long live long live long live, and they are doing their best to flatter.

Zhu Yijun likes this old bird very much. He can make him feel much better every day.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhao Lian and Zhao are here!" Zhang Jing stood behind Zhu Yijun and bowed and said.

Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a faint smile: "Let him come in!"

Regarding Zhao Lian’s arrangement, Zhu Yijun just thought that he was suitable in that position. As for the cruel master’s swords and so on, Zhu Yijun can only say that Zhao Lian was thinking too much, and people in this era thought too much.

Zhu Yijun will never raise cruel officials, nor will he use the cruel officials to clean up the officialdom.

Who is the most famous person in history who uses cruel officials? Of course it is Wu Zetian.

During this period, Zhou Xinghe's reputation as a monarch and minister shocked many people. But what was the situation at that time when Wu Zetian was incorrect and ruled the world as a woman. Some ministers inside had ill-hearted intentions, while others were Li clans who planned the throne.

In that case, Wu Zetian had no choice but to use cruel officials.

What is my situation? I hold military and political power, and the Emperor Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty is upright, so how could I do the cruel officials? What I want is systemic and institutional anti-corruption, and to formulate new rules for the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Promoting the status of the Corruption and Law and Discipline Department, and raising the heads of the Corruption and Law and Discipline Department is what you should do.

Not to mention anything else, after the Corruption Department and the Law and Discipline Department absorbed the various imperial envoys and the staff, Zhu Yijun prepared to take charge of the matter with the Left Censor of the Censorate and completely position the Censorate of the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, the left censor of the Censorate will not only become one of the nine ministers, but also become the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.

There are no rules in other yamen, but the left censor of the Censorate must enter the cabinet. No matter who sits in this position, he must have a seat in the cabinet. This method is used to raise the status of the Censorate.

This is the way Zhu Yijun arranged for Zhao Lian to establish the basis of the Ming Dynasty's official picketing system.

If he did a good job, Zhao Lian would be the first person to enter the cabinet with such an identity, and would definitely be known in history. Of course, it depends on Zhao Lian's attitude and how he did it.

Of course, Zhao Lian didn't know what Zhu Yijun was thinking. After walking in, he felt nervous.

"My minister Zhao Lian, please see Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

After Zhao Lian walked in, he respectfully knelt on the ground and saluted Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun turned around and said with a faint smile: "Get up!"

In fact, this is the first time that the monarch and ministers have met. Zhao Lian has been an official for so many years and has been serving outside the office. He has never seen this emperor before. Although he has visited Beijing, he has stood far away and he can't even see the emperor's face.

"I have heard of Zhao Aiqing's name for a long time!" Zhu Yijun said with a smile.

"Whether Xu De or Dingbei Hou were praised by his beloved minister."

"I am afraid!" Zhao Lian hurriedly bowed.

Zhu Yijun smiled: "I am not stingy in rewarding all capable ministers and officials, and I am not stingy in entrusting important tasks. I attach great importance to the Censorate, the Department of Law and Discipline and the Department of Corruption."

"I think my dear is so talented, so I have the confidence to be able to do things?"

Zhao Lian smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that he could not escape, so he gritted his teeth. Since he could not escape, he simply walked all the way to the dark. Without any hesitation, Zhao Lian bowed and said, "I have confidence!"

Nodding, Zhu Yijun praised and said, "Very good!"

"Then go and do it well for me and don't let me down."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely not let Your Majesty down!" After saying this, Zhao Lian said again: "I will leave!" After saying that, he bent and retreated.

People are in the officialdom and they are like this, let alone Zhao Lian? He has no capital to refuse now. Zhu Yijun will not give him the opportunity to refuse. Thunder, rain and dew are both kindness. I said, you have to do it.

"Take this opportunity, I have to do something else!" Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said lightly: "Have Wang Yongji gone to the Taxation Department?"

Wang Yongji has been resting since he came back from Nanjing, and Zhu Yijun gave him a big vacation. Since the officials and gentry paid food together, Wang Yongji has been busy.

Now I am north of Zhili, then I go to Shandong, and finally to Nanjing. Not only did I run around the world, I also have no rest.

After coming back this time, Zhu Yijun arranged for him to have a good rest and sent people from the Imperial Hospital to take care of him. The Taxation Department is now inseparable from Wang Yongji. Zhu Yijun relies very much on him and cannot use him.

But it's almost time to rest, and the tax department should do work.

As the yamen that was very popular in the Ming Dynasty, it was actually stolen by the Law and Discipline Department. This is not good. Now it is time for the Tax Department to take action, and it is time for it to make money by itself.

"Go back to Your Majesty, Lord Wang has returned to the Law and Discipline Department three days ago." Zhang Jing said hurriedly.

Zhu Yijun nodded and ordered directly: "Come!"

Wang Yongji has had a good rest these days, and he is very motivated to return to the Taxation Department again. The Taxation Department is basically on the right track now, and Wang Yongji is not worried about more things than before.

After receiving Zhu Yijun's summons, Wang Yongji arrived at the palace as soon as possible.

After seeing Wang Yongji, Zhu Yijun waved his hand to let him avoid the gift. As Zhu Yijun's confidant minister, Wang Yongji was definitely one of the earliest followers, and he made outstanding contributions.

After looking at Wang Yongji, Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "I feel very relieved when I see my beloved today."

"Thank you for your concern. I am ashamed. The Imperial Hospital's excellent imperial doctors and his kindness rewards various supplements, my health has been improved." Wang Yongji hurriedly bowed.

Zhu Yijun nodded, then smiled and said, "This time, the Minister of Revenue is vacant. I originally wanted to be my beloved minister."

When Wang Yongji heard Zhu Yijun's words, he was stunned and felt a little confused. In fact, no one didn't know how Zhu Yijun valued Wang Yongji, and no one didn't know how Zhu Yijun cultivated Wang Yongji.

Many people regard Wang Yongji as the successor to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but this time they failed to be promoted.

It is definitely impossible to be disappointed in your heart. Not to mention that you are busy doing things, your own status has also come. The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the head of the Taxation Department, and further become the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is also a good idea.

But Wang Yongji felt that the matter was over, but he didn't expect the emperor to mention it again.

Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Yongji and said with a smile: "You are still young, don't argue with others first."

In fact, Wang Yongji also knew that he had a chance of winning against Zeng Shengwu. Whether it was prestige or qualification, Zeng Shengwu crushed himself in a comprehensive way, and this was incomparable.

Speaking of merit, Zeng Shengwu has made a lot of contributions for so many years.

This time in the northwest, Zeng Shengwu set a precedent for the reform of the Ming army and worked hard and made great contributions. Although he had been making contributions, the time was short after all. As for the young emperor, Wang Yongji didn't know what to say.

You are sixty years old and you are still young? Your Majesty, you are flirting with your ministers.

Looking at Wang Yongji's embarrassed look, Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "The Minister of Revenue is a good seat, but I don't want to give it to you. Those who have made meritorious contributions should be highly rewarded, and how can a Minister of Revenue be rewarded?"

After hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Wang Yongji's face changed. Could it be? No!

I was a Jinshi in the second year of Longqing and ranked in the third place. My first official position was Huai'an Promotion Officer, which shows how low my exam scores were. It can be said that I was the last in that class.

Sometimes when I recall it, Wang Yongji felt it was quite magical, and he actually became the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Wang Yongji thought that if he could become a scholar in his life, it would be a comfort to his whole life. But according to the emperor's current intention, I am afraid that he would not want to enter the cabinet?

"Do you know what this palace is called?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Yongji and said with a smile.

What doesn’t you know about this Wang Yongji? This is Wenhua Palace!

Originally, Huadian was just the emperor's study and a place to study, but now everyone in the Ming Dynasty knows the importance of this place in the eyes of the emperor. When the emperor ascended the throne when he was young, Zhang Ge Lao studied at the Pope in Wenhua Palace.

After the emperor took office, he basically worked here and stayed here, so he didn't go back to the Qianqing Palace very much.

Back then, Mr. Zhang Ge put up a screen in Wenhua Hall, which contained the names of all the officials above the seventh rank of the Ming Dynasty. Now these screens are still there, and this is of extraordinary significance to Your Majesty.

Wang Yongji immediately thought of a possibility, would Your Majesty want to consider himself the Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace?

In the cabinets of the Ming Dynasty, the Grand Secretary were all named after the hall, including Huagai Hall, Jinshen Hall, Wuying Hall, Wenyuan Hall, Dong Pavilion and other Grand Secretary, but the Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Hall was a very special existence.

Although the Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace is also among the Grand Secretary, it has a very special place. The Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace has the responsibility to assist in educating the prince and has a very special status.

Wang Yongji was a little excited when he thought of being the Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace.

Although the emperor is young and the queen has no legitimate son, I heard that the queen is pregnant and may give birth to a prince. Now, as a Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace, it may seem a little embarrassed.

But once the queen gives birth to a prince and is crowned as the crown prince, then she will immediately be different.

Maybe I can't teach the prince myself, but I have a status and status.

At his age, even if he has joined the Minister of Revenue or the Cabinet, he will probably be the lowest-ranked Grand Secretary in his life. Not to mention anything else, he can kill himself if he queues up.

Now the emperor has given himself the position of Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace, which is obviously a special reward for himself.

Thinking of this, Wang Yongji was so excited that he couldn't help himself. Although Fang Fengshi entered the cabinet as a Hanlin, Wang Yongji never thought that he could enter the cabinet as well, and he was also a special Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace.

"Go back to Your Majesty, this is Wenhua Palace!"
