The day of court promotion.

Those who can attend the court cannot be low-ranking officials, but officials of the capital with a fifth rank or above in the court.

Among them, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Revenue have the largest number, with as many as twenty or thirty people.

There are less than ten people in the other divisions.

Then there were several people in the cabinet, Hanlin Academy, Zhanshi Mansion, and Tongzhengsi.

There are two to five people in Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, Taipu Temple, Shangbaosi, Honglu Temple, etc.

An official from the Imperial Heaven Supervision and Imperial Hospital also participated in the court.

Finally, there are officials from Shuntian Prefecture.

Therefore, there were only one or two hundred Beijing officials qualified to attend. Putting aside the vacancies and being so sick that they could not get out of bed. Today, when the court promoted the Minister of Personnel, there were more than a hundred officials.

After the officials arrived, some went back to the front room to rest, while others chatted and laughed in the square.

At this time, the sun was shining on the Meridian Gate Square, and the officials were chatting and laughing lightly on their faces, but they looked at every official passing by the square with their own light.

But seeing a group of officials walking up from the Jinshui Bridge in Duanmen, the officials in front of the Meridian Gate immediately stepped forward to greet him.

The officials in this industry were all no one else, but Lin Yanchao led officials from the Ministry of Rites to arrive.

Lin Yanchao wore black veil and a crimson robe in a golden pheasant and a scarlet robe. Taking advantage of the rising sun, Lin Yanchao had both the noble spirit of a high-ranking official and a first-class heroic spirit.

When they saw Lin Yanchao, the officials under the bridge dared not look up.

Huang Fengxiang, Zhao Yongxian and other officials from the Ministry of Rites followed Lin Yanchao to the square.

"I've met the Lord!"

"Meet the Lord of the Lord!"

After Lin Yanchao returned the gift, he smiled and said to the left and right: "It seems that among the various ministries, we are the first ones we have come."

The higher the level of an official, the more he likes to be late. Such an important court push is commonplace, one and a half hours late.

As a senior official, you really can't help but not come to the court to recommend it.

As for the little minister who is late, who will wait for you? He will be impeached by the censor when he turns back.

Lin Yanchao said this in a joking tone. The officials present dared not answer the conversation, but just laughed at him.

Lin Yanchao and officials from the Ministry of Rites went to the court room to rest first.

There are two rooms in the Ministry of Rites at the Meridian Gate, one is used in the Ministry of Religion and the other is used in the Sisi.

This is also a treatment that only the six ministries have. When Lin Yanchao was in the Hanlin Academy, he also squeezed together to work together.

The Ministry of Rites’s cemetery is on the second upper front and the Sisi cemetery is on the last lower side.

Everyone went to the east and sat down to rest for a while.

Lin Yanchao pointed out the window and said, "I heard that the Sisi Dynasty court houses have been repeatedly used by the Ministry of Justice recently. The officials of the Ministry of Revenue have occupied them, which has left the officials in the department of the Ministry of Revenue. From today on, we locked the Sisi Dynasty court houses in the name of repair, and then changed the keys for the Quadradon to keep them well. It is easy to borrow and difficult to get rid of. From then on, the Chaozhou District will no longer be allowed to be rented by officials from other yamen."

The officials below said that it is.

Speaking of this, the officials in charge brought them tea. At this time, Chen Jichuan came in and said a few words to Lin Yanchao.

Lin Yanchao nodded and signaled Chen Jichuan to retreat, and then said to Huang Fengxiang on the left and right. Zhao Yongxian said, "Yuan Fuyan is unwell and will not participate in today's meeting."

After hearing this, no one was surprised.

The day before the court promulgated, the censor submitted a memorial to impeach Shen Shixing. Outsiders think this move is because you are about to retire, so someone will quickly gain reputation.

But those who are familiar with the inside know why not impeach earlier or later, and insist on picking the day before the prosecution?

After thinking it through, you will know why Shen Shixing is not here.

If the chief minister is not present, then the officials will figure out the meaning of the Minister of Personnel, but they will recommend the Minister of Personnel. Whose meaning will the officials try out?

So the answer is that no one and no one has enough strength to dominate this time.

Today's Minister of Personnel will be destined to be a battle of dragons and tigers.

Lin Yanchao was drinking tea while looking out through the window grid. After a while, Shu Hongzhi, Minister of Works, arrived with officials from the Ministry of Works. Shu Hongzhi warmly greeted the officials in the square.

Huang Fengxiang whispered: "I heard that Shu Sikong is also interested in competing for the position of Dazhongzhao."

After hearing what Huang Fengxiang said, Lin Yanchao and Zhao Yongxian both showed a look of disdain.

Zhao Yongxian said: "Just rely on him?"

Huang Fengxiang smiled and said, "Shu Sikong certainly has other plans. After Lu and Shi Zhijin's Minister of Personnel, he wanted to fill the gap left. This time he came forward, he would try it first."

"I see."

Several people drank tea for a while, and the officials who participated in the court promotion arrived one after another. At this time, Shi Xingfang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, arrived late.

As soon as Shi Xing arrived at the square, half of the officials were huddled up. Shi Xing, who used to be serious, also seemed approachable today.

After saying a few words, Shi Xing went straight to the prefecture room of the Ministry of Rites.

Shi Xing stepped forward a few steps, and Lin Yanchao also came forward.

Shi Xing held Lin Yanchao's hand and said, "It turns out that the master of the clan has been here for a long time!"

Lin Yanchao said: "It is a quotation of the imperial court's talent. Lin did not dare to neglect it, so he got one step earlier."

Shi Xing smiled and said, "So that's it. Shi thought that if the imperial court had sufficient funds, he might as well build some sea boats in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Shi later discussed this matter with Xu Cifu, and everyone agreed to think of a solution."

What have you done long ago? Hum?

Lin Yanchao sneered in his heart, but said in surprise and joy: "If this is true, it would be great. Lin thanked the Grand Minister first."

Shi Xing nodded, and then said a few words to Zhao Yongxian and Huang Fengxiang, before leaving the Ministry of Rites to attend the ceremony.

Lin Yanchao looked at Shi Xing with a smile, but Zhao Yongxian looked at Lin Yanchao several times.

After Shi Xing left, Lu Guangzu of the Ministry of Justice led a group of officials from the Ministry of Justice to arrive. This time, the officials rushed up again, as if more people were welcomed by Shi Xing before.

Lin Yanchao looked a little bad when he looked at Shi Xing's face.

Today, Lu Guangzu no longer felt as reserved and respectful as before, but greeted the officials with the spring breeze on his face. As for Lin Yanchao and M. Lu Guangzu, he had neither the intention to go up nor the other party had the idea of ​​coming. He saluted each other from afar, saying hello.

It will be pushed at the left door of Que.

Nearly a hundred officials stood the square outside the Quezuo Gate with a full set of plaza.

Today, the presided over the meeting was Zhao Zhigao, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Zhao Zhigao is old and can't do it after reading a few words. He immediately expressed his desire to take a break.

Lin Yanchao was suspicious when he saw this. At such an age, Shen Shixing planned to recommend him to the cabinet. Is there any problem?

After Zhao Zhigao came to the side to rest, the right assistant Wang Yongji replaced him.

Wang Yongji was promoted from the Governor Yixue Yamen to the Right Minister of the Ministry of Personnel last year.

Wang Yongji was a loyal minister who was as famous as Hai Rui.

When he presided over Yixue, he proposed to the court to set up a library in the Imperial College in the palace to provide scholars who came to Beijing and teachers of Yixue to copy and borrow.

This is somewhat similar to the Shiqu Pavilion in the Han Dynasty and Chongwen Academy in the Song Dynasty, but it does not serve the royal family, but serves scholars, and some is similar to the establishment of a national library. However, it is a pity that such insightful suggestions were not adopted by the emperor.

Now the king stands under the imperial city wall, and the nine officials of the cabinet stand up from the east and west under the wall.

The Chief Auxiliary, Minister of Personnel, and Minister of War were absent one after another. Originally, thirteen people were only ten.

The rest of the officials stood facing north.

While Wang Yongji announced that the Minister of Personnel was able to serve as an official, the official of the Ministry of Personnel handed over the list of officials who had been allowed to serve as an official to serve as an official.

Lin Yanchao stood in the west, and the sun crossed the red wall of the Forbidden City, shining on himself.

Lin Yanchao blocked the sun with his hands, picked up the Kanren Book and turned to the first page, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. As he expected, the one listed on the Kanren Book was Shi Xing on the first page, while Lu Guangzu was on the second page.

This is the order of the previous book, and it is actually a first-class hint.

Otherwise, according to the seniority, Lu Guangzu was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing, and Shi Xing was a Jinshi in the 38th year of Jiajing. Lu Guangzu's ranking should be on Shi Xing.

Although there is no chief minister or minister of the Ministry of Personnel, there are always people who use such subtle means to influence this time.

Thinking of this, Lin Yanchao looked at Zhao Zhigao, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel who was sitting aside to rest.

Lin Yanchao continued to read along the Kanren Book, not only Shi Xing and Lu Guangzu were there, but also Shu Hongzhi, Sun, Wang Yongji and other seven people.

Lin Yanchao originally thought that his name would also be included in the "jogging" list, but unfortunately he did not have his own name on the list.

The Minister of Rites may not be appointed by Cichen, but can the Minister of Personnel be appointed by Cichen occasionally?

Judging from the past few years, not to mention that Cichen was elected, even the name of Cichen was not allowed to appear on the list of officials who can be appointed.

For example, during the Jiajing and Longqing dynasties, such as Fang Xianfu, Yan Song and Gao Gong, who were in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, would never have happened in the Wanli dynasty.

At this time, Wang Yongji had read the above official resume and said: "The Minister of Personnel is to accompany me. After all the officials have thought it through, come forward to draw the title!"

The Minister of Personnel will recommend it, not like the Nine Ministers will recommend it, nor is it like the process of the ministers above the third rank.

There are clear records about this: when the cabinet ministers, tomb priests, Grand Marshals, and Governors are vacant, they will be questioned.

When the governor is vacant, he will be pushed.

This seems like a dead rule, indicating that officials stand up to discuss, and are cautious about the prime minister, minister, and governor.

In fact, the reason why I can push it so much is because there are not so many chairs for you to sit in front of the Quezuo gate, so it is also troublesome to send paper and pen.

When the ministers were recommended, there were many people, and officials could not sit on chairs or in banquets on both sides. After writing a post, they had to hand it over. They had to go to the public case one by one and write a picture in the list under the supervision of officials from the Ministry of Personnel.

"Big Bo!"

Lin Yanchao heard a voice beside him, and it turned out that Xu Guo was talking to him.

"What are the instructions for me?"

Xu Guo said sincerely: "I will say something to you with my heart. Today's will be related to the importance of the cabinet in the future. If you really have any prejudice against Shi Siong, please let it go for the sake of my face today."

Lin Yanchao understood Xu Guo's meaning. It would be fine if Shi Xing was appointed as the Minister of Personnel, but if Lu Guangzu took office, it would be difficult for the cabinet to call the Ministry of Personnel in the future, and half of the cabinet's power would be lost.

When he spoke, the sun was shining on Lin Yanchao's side face, but when he saw him smiled, "Okay, don't worry, just don't worry."

ps: There will be updates tomorrow.
Chapter completed!
