Under the two memorials, the power of tribute was transferred from the Ministry of War to the Ministry of Rites.

These two comments made everyone see Lin Yanchao's strength. Lin Yanchao was appointed as the chief minister of the throne. The whole court admired him, but he still felt that his foundation was not stable enough.

But now they found that Lin Yanchao's disciples and former officials were gradually emerging in the court.

Guo Zhengyu, known as the three great wise men in the world, Fang Congzhe, editor of Xinmin Daily, Sun Chengzong, who is the emperor's heart, Yuan Zongdao, the leader of the literary world in Beijing, and Yuan Keli, who is upright, are all very popular figures in the court and the country.

At the same time, because Li Sancai successfully farmed in Beijing last year, he was appointed as the envoy of Shuntian Prefecture for his merits.

The envoys of various provinces generally have the title of deputy envoy of the Censorate, which is the fourth rank. Only the Yingtian Prefecture of Shuntian Prefecture is the title of envoy of the Censorate, which is the third rank.

Li Sancai was promoted to Shuntian Prefecture to teach the scholar, and he was very glorious for a while. All of this was inseparable from Wang Xijue's vigorous cultivation.

Another thing is that Yang Hao is the branch of Liaohai Road for the Shandong Senate.

When personnel changes, another major event happened in the leap month of the 19th year of Wanli.

One night, a comet swept across the northwest, about a foot long from the record of the Imperial Heaven Supervision.

When there are comets, according to convention, the emperor should review whether there are any improper aspects of the administration and conduct a review of the province.

The emperor issued an edict to review and told the officials all over the world that I had done something wrong in the past and would definitely be close to the virtuous ministers and stay away from villains in the future.

Seeing this, Shen Shixing quickly took the fault on himself, saying that the celestial phenomena must have done something wrong as the prime minister, and begged to resign.

Of course, the emperor did not agree, but derogated several eunuchs with bad reputation in the palace, which had been used as a reflection.

Just as the court and everyone thought that the emperor wanted to change his mind.

The emperor suddenly issued an edict to the thirteen officials of the six departments, saying that in recent years, you have repeatedly advised me, saying that I am not. Have you ever heard of what is "in the palace, everything is one"? You are so annoying that you are all quarrels all day long, and you will take your salary for one year as a reflection.

As soon as this happened, there was an uproar in the court and the country.

The censors had a small salary, and the emperor did such a thing and blamed them for the occurrence of the comet.

As for the palace, everything is one, this sentence is also intriguing.

This sentence was first written by Zhuge Liang, who was written by Zhuge Liang.

Back then, the government and the public criticized Zhang Juzheng for being one of the palaces, which meant that he colluded with Feng Bao.

The palace is the imperial palace, the government is the government, and the emperor quotes the integration of the palace, which means that I and the cabinet are in the same mind.

The emperor issued an order to rebuke the censors and drag Shen Shixing into the water.

I'm afraid Shen Shixing also feels that he is innocent. Although he has been criticized by censors in recent years, he does not dare to take the censors' salary for one year. Who can afford to provoke these people? Aren't you afraid of being bitten?

Shen Shixing has been prime minister for so many years. Before retirement, it seems that the emperor still wants to let him use his remaining energy and take the blame.

This time, the punishment of the censor was a bomb that caused public outrage. Everyone pointed the finger at Shen Shixing. Shen Yongjia's limelight had not passed, but the officialdom here was even more unfavorable to him.

At this time, news came that Song Feng, the Minister of Personnel, was seriously ill.

After leaving the yamen this day, Lin Yanchao took a light car to visit Song Xuan's residence.

The one who greeted Lin Yanchao at the gate was Song Feng's eldest son. When the other party saw Lin Yanchao, he cried and said, "Brother, he can't do it anymore."

Lin Yanchao said as soon as he heard this, "Take Honbudo to see Dazai."

Song Xuan lived in the official residence of the Ministry of Personnel, and it looked rich from the outside, but Lin Yanchao walked to Song Xuan's bedroom and saw that the layout inside the room was very simple, with only a few items and no luxury.

As the Minister of Personnel Song Feng was so honest that Lin Yanchao also deeply admired him.

On the sickbed, Song Feng was closing his eyes. Lin Yanchao signaled his son not to say anything, and he sat silently beside Song Feng Feng.

After a while, Song Qian opened his eyes and saw someone beside the bed, trying to open his eyes to see who it was.

Song Feng's eldest son was crying and said, "Dad, Daddy, I'm here to see you."

"Big Master? Is Bo Shen or Bo Yu?"

Song Feng's eldest son apologized to Lin Yanchao, and then explained: "Dad, he is the current Minister of Rites Lin Dazongbo."

"Oh." Song Feng gradually became clear when he heard this. Lin Yanchao bent down and asked, "Is Dazai better?"

"I can't do it anymore. I'll come to visit you at this time."

"Dazai doesn't need to say such things. If it is not Dazai's cultivation, there is no place to go today."

Lin Yanchao looked at him while talking, and saw Song Feng's gray beard trembling as he spoke, and his face was bloodless. It seemed that it was really impossible.

Lin Yanchao greeted me a few times, and Song Qian looked at the curtains with his eyes and said, "I can't do it today. Fortunately, Zong Hai, you come to me and say a few words."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "If Dazai is there, Dazai will ask the subordinates to do whatever they have to do."

Song Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Why did I have any private matters? I have a few heartfelt words."

"I'll ask Dazai to give me instructions."

Song Qian said: "After I leave, the court will inevitably revisit the candidate for the Minister of Personnel. I wonder who Zong Hai thought in his heart could replace me?"

Lin Yanchao felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, and then said, "How about Dazai thinks Shi Siong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"

Song Qian nodded and said, "Good, Shi Siong is good, but he is too straightforward as an official."

Lin Yanchao felt aroused when he heard this. Song Feng repeatedly recommended Zou Yuanbiao as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel's Wenxuan Department, but the memorials were repeatedly rejected by Shen Shixing.

Therefore, Song Feng was uneasy and was seriously ill, so he asked for retirement in five comments. In the future, Shi Xing replaced him as the Minister of Personnel. With Shi Xing's upright personality, it was indeed difficult to be versatile.

"So what candidate is Dazai's heart?" Lin Yanchao asked.

Song Feng raised his head and said, "If Zong Hai is not a minister, this man must think you are not allowed."

After listening to Song Feng's words, Lin Yanchao felt a panic. Just as the Minister of Rites was the exclusive part of the minister of Ci, the Minister of Personnel was the exclusive part of the minister of Ci.

Of course, it is not absolute. Yan Song and Gao Gong both served as Minister of Personnel, and then became a famous and powerful prime minister in the cabinet.

So not to mention whether Lin Yanchao could break this rule, the emperor refused to even give it to himself, let alone the Minister of Personnel.

Lin Yanchao smiled bitterly and said, "Dazai, I have never had this ambition."

Song Wei smiled and said, "Among the ministers of the Ministry of Justice, you are the only one who is a member of the Heavenly Reign. But if you become the Minister of Personnel, you will not be able to enter the cabinet in the future... In the future, the Minister of Personnel is vacant. I think that in addition to Shi Siong, the Ministry of Justice Lu Ke Kong Zonghai will have some considerations?"

Generally, the vacancies of the Minister of Personnel are from the Ministry of Rites, and one of the four ministers is appointed by the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Of course, it is not absolute. The Secretary of the Southern School and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel also have the opportunity.

Now the Minister of War Wang Yie is also seriously ill, and the Minister of Works Shu Hongzhi is not worthy of it. The only ones left are the Minister of Justice Lu Guangzu and the Minister of Revenue Shi Xing can fight.

However, Shi Xing has a greater chance of winning, after all, the Minister of Revenue ranks before the Minister of Justice.

Lin Yanchao said: "It's not that Dazai didn't know that he was always against the mainland and the other two..."

Song Xu said: "Lu Sikong has always been like this, but this time if you support Lu Sikong as the Minister of Personnel, he will definitely sell your favors in the future. Zong Hai might as well follow my words and consider it."

Lin Yanchao was silent for a moment when he heard this. Xu Guo had told him that he would support Shi Xing. After Shi Xing became the Minister of Personnel, they elected Yang Junmin as the Minister of Revenue.

Lin Yanchao went out from Song Qian's mansion, looked back, and then got on the carriage and returned to the yamen.

On the carriage, Lin Yanchao carefully studied and found the secret of this court recommendation.

For example, the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of War were vacant, and it was elected by officials above the fifth rank in Beijing.

However, few of their own students and colleagues in the Hanlin Academy are officials above the fifth grade. Because the Hanlin fifth grade is a threshold, the Hanlin fifth grade can be called a bachelor's degree, but most Hanlins are concentrated below the fifth grade. At the same time, it is not good for the scientific and technological path. As a censor, it is at most seventh grade.

Of course, when the cabinet prime minister was strong in the past, such as Zhang Juzheng and Shen Shixing were in power, he could control the candidates for the Minister of Personnel.

This time, the recommendation will be different. Shen Shixing has already clearly stated that he is going to retreat, so he will not use his power to control whoever. The second auxiliary Xu State is far less famous than Shen Shixing. The center is in the blue and yellow position, so it really depends on who has the most votes this time.

Which yamen are the most popular?

The Thirteenth Division of the Ministry of Revenue, the Thirteenth Division of the Ministry of Justice, each department has the fifth rank of the doctor and the fifth rank of the official. Therefore, the Ministry of Revenue is the big part of the votes.

Therefore, no surprise, this time the Minister of Personnel will be promoted from these two yamen. As for the several Ministers in Nanjing, although they are qualified, it is too difficult without the support of the Beijing officials.

Therefore, the dispute between the Minister of Personnel was the dispute between Shi Xing and Lu Guangzu.

After Lin Yanchao returned to the yamen, he heard that the two officials and several officials were waiting for him in the fire room.

After Lin Yanchao arrived at the fire room, Zhao Yongxian, Huang Fengxiang, Xu Jideng and other officials stood up to salute.

After taking the seat, Lin Yanchao asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Huang Fengxiang said: "I heard that the priest was seriously ill, and the court intended to promote the Minister of Personnel. I wonder if this matter is true?"

Lin Yanchao heard this and said, "Honbudo just came back from Dazai. Dazai is really sick. It seems that he will be promoted to the Minister of Personnel soon. This is not a rumor."

Everyone was sad when they heard this.

Lin Yanchao stretched out his hand and pressed it and said, "If the Minister of Personnel is vacant, we will all push you at the left gate of the Quezuomen Court."

"The department has a simple opinion and is able to be elected. Our department should discuss it first. When we recommend it later, no matter what the previous proposal is, we will push one person together in the promotion."

Hearing this, all the officials were shocked.

Lin Yanchao continued: "The Ministry of Rites said this because our Ministry of Rites has gradually become less powerful recently. Because we are not united, we are both in charge of our own affairs and have their own opinions, they are gradually being neglected by each government office. However, this time the decision was made by the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the future of the Ministry. Therefore, the Ministry of Representatives made this proposal, and of course if someone does not follow, it will not make things difficult for him."

After saying that, Lin Yanchao took a sip of tea, but when he saw Huang Fengxiang, he was the first to say, "Xiguan is willing to advance and retreat with the main hall."

After Huang Fengxiang said that, officials from other departments also expressed their support one after another, and Zhao Yongxian was left.

But when Lin Yanchao looked at Zhao Yongxian and asked, "What do you think of Zhao Zongbo?"
