Chapter 427 Where the power lies

Zhang Juzheng corrects memorials every day, so busy that he doesn't even have time to squat. ●⌒, so Zhang Siwei is responsible for all matters in the cabinet. Zhang Siwei hinted in his words that Lin Yanchao knew who was the decision of the cabinet now, which was reasonable.

This means that Lin Yanchao's direct leader in charge later became Zhang Siwei. Zhang Siwei is very cunning and serious. Lin Yanchao must be very careful when doing things under his command.

So Zhang Siwei called Lin Yanchao to explain some things to pay attention to.

Lin Yanchao heard it one by one in front of Zhang Siwei. If it were now, Lin Yanchao would definitely have to hold a small notebook and briefly write down what Zhang Siwei explained. This is more important to show respect for the leader's explanation.

But in the Ming Dynasty, everything was simple and I could not just hold the notes on the notebook. Moreover, everyone knew that Lin Yanchao could not forget them even when he saw them. However, this was not a problem for Lin Yanchao. After listening to Zhang Siwei's order, he roughly briefly repeated the other party's explanation on the spot. When Zhang Siwei saw Lin Yanchao's retelling, every sentence was said to the idea.

Zhang Siwei's eyes immediately showed a hint of surprise at Lin Yanchao's spirit.

But Zhang Siwei still said nothing and said lightly: "Go and do things."

Then he raised his teacup and drank a sip of tea.

Lin Yanchao said goodbye and returned to his pay room.

You should know that there are three types of Zhongshu Sheikan, two halls Zhongshu, and Zhongshu.

The Secretariat of the Two Halls serves Wenhua Hall and Wuying Hall. Although you can often see the emperor and ministers, you have no power.

The Zhongshu Department just copied and copied, and there was no power.

As an official of these two, it can only be said that they are very clear about their importance, but they have no connection with power. Therefore, when it comes to status, they cannot be compared with the two Secretariats of the Two Houses.

There is no fixed quota for the two rooms, but it usually does not exceed 30 people. The two rooms have different quotas. The first class is used as a cabinet escort, which is the most jealous. In private, everyone calls the confidential secretary.

The second class is the Zhongshu in charge of each department, and the Zhongshu in charge is called Zhongshu in charge, such as Yu Zhongshu before.

The third-class is the real worker, the lowest-level secretary. If you want to get a title casually, it is called the Shushu.

Lin Yanchao is now in charge of the office, which means he is divided into part of the power of the head office in charge of the secretary of the Secretariat. What is the main purpose of the east office? Or what is the specific power in his hands?

First, drafting edicts. In fact, important edicts such as Pingyi Edicts are generally drafted by Hanlin officials who are well-written and well-written and literary, and the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat.

The second is to investigate and entrust the imperial edicts. The imperial edicts and edicts sent by the West House, that is, ordinary memorials, must be investigated by the Hanlin of the East House.

Third, the six departments went to the cabinet to review and review the books, and wrote and unveiled them. Based on Lin Yanchao's experience in working in the cabinet for a few days, the East House was assigned to the Ministry of War. The Ministry of Revenue had more books, but it was not necessarily true. He had also processed books from other departments, but it was only a small number of them.

The rest are like drafting a title book for the cabinet, looking for people from the Siyiguan to translate foreign documents, etc.

If you can take charge of the entire east house, then the power will be great. However, the word "assistant" is a little worse, but it is not much different.

Lin Yanchao sat in the duty room. When the time to go to the yamen, the cloud board rang.

Soon Zhang Siwei's confidential secretary came. Zhang Siwei's confidential secretary was named Dong, and his personality and Zhang Siwei were not easy to get close to others. However, Dong Zhongshu was even more arrogant. Ordinary cabinet officials didn't even say hello when they met. As for the incompetent officials, they bowed casually.

Only when Dong Zhongshu met three cabinet masters, his reaction was different. Lin Yanchao once saw him smiling like a flower in front of Zhang Juzheng.

But when Dong Zhongshu entered Lin Yan's room, he looked at the ceiling with his eyes, and said three handwritten books in his hand, "I will ask you to check it out after you check it out."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately twisted his butt and left, as if he didn't want to stay in Lin Yan's room for a long time.

Lin Yanchao also used such a person as air. Anyway, he was like this to most people in the cabinet. After Lin Yanchao took the three handwritten books, he first read the cover. Two letters were written by the Ministry of War to the cabinet, and one letter was written by the Ministry of Revenue to the cabinet.

Lin Yanchao thought about it and roamed the bell on the table. The internal servant on duty outside walked into the duty room and asked, "What instructions does Lin Xiu have?"

Lin Yanchao took two handwritten copies of the Ministry of War and said, "This is for editor Liu, this is for editor Zhang."

After hearing the promise, the internal servant went out with his handbook.

The examiner asked why Lin Yanchao didn't send it to him? According to the rules of the imperial edict room, the two houses should not be allowed to go to the door at will when they are on duty.

But after a long time, people become lazy and everyone doesn't abide by it.

But after the incident with Zhongshu, Zhang Siwei repeatedly ordered that everyone had to follow the rules again.

In the past, Lin Yanchao was waiting for the Secretary of the Head Office to send the handbook sent from the cabinet to himself. Which Hanlin, which secretary of the Central Secretariat, and which secretary of the Central Secretariat were all assigned by the Secretary of the Head Office. But now the East House does not have the Secretary of the Head Office, Lin Yanchao has obtained part of the distribution rights.

This power seems inconspicuous at first glance, but in fact it has a deep routine.

In other words, as long as Lin Yanchao is willing, he can get the right to investigate and submit any handbook, as well as the power to announce the letter. This is completely different from the original passive visit.

If Lin Yanchao is interested, huh? I think you are unhappy, okay, don’t blame me for picking the faults in your memorials.

The faults in this memorial are all ambiguous, and they are both judged and not judged. As a qualified civil servant, he has the ability to pick bones in his eggs. If you really want to find fault with you, there are a hundred ways to keep you in my territory.

If there is something wrong in the handbook, throw it back to the yamen and rewrite it, or if the wrong place written in the handbook is listed one by one for the cabinet masters to show it. Sometimes the handbook can still be passed normally, but you can always feel disgusted.

So this is why, when Gu Xiancheng's boss, Zhang Xueyan, the Minister of Revenue, learned that Lin Yanchao was responsible for the east house and immediately sent Gu Xiancheng to deliver the money.

The officialdom is always in such a difficult situation.

As for Lin Yanchao leaving behind the Ministry of Revenue, it was not because he was disgusting Zhang Xueyan or Gu Xiancheng, but he just insisted very "kindly" and that he had to do things for others after taking the money.

Lin Yanchao read the memorial sent by the Ministry of Revenue. It turned out that the river governor Pan Jixun asked the clearance of the Qingjiangpu River to allocate 70,000 taels of funds. The Minister of Revenue Zhang Xueyan replied, "It's not just about life to ask for money."
