Locked the copper cabinet, Lin Yanchao walked out of Wenyuan Pavilion and saw Liu Yukui, who was also a Hanlin, coming with his handbook.

Lin Yanchao nodded when he saw Liu Yukui.

But when Liu Yukui picked up the Ministry of War in his hand, he said to Lin Yanchao with a complaint, "Zonghai, look at the book handed over by the Ministry of War, what is the writing style? The book handwritten by the Ministry of War, the words on it are scribbled. How can this be made? We must be called back and retried, so that they dare not commit the crime again next time."

Liu Yukui said this, but Lin Yanchao did not know that his move was out of public and selfish.

He knew that the clerk had a way of making things difficult for others, so he deliberately cut off one word from the report, filled in another word, and then reported that the article had been altered and sent the manuscript back.

The same is true for Liu Yukui now, but God knows whether he intentionally or not.

As a clerk, he is very operational, especially the power of the yamen's swordsman is even more powerful. For example, when a foreign official went to Beijing for the first time to do business, others would like to mention him, "Before he goes to the emperor, come to visit the writer first."

Even the Minister of Revenue wanted to bribe Lin Yanchao, which is one of the reasons.

In fact, even if Lin Yanchao doesn't charge money, he won't make things difficult for the other party. But you have the power to harm others. Whether you use it or not, you have to worry about it.

Therefore, it became normal for officials to bribe documents from the yamen, and over time it became a common practice.

When the common law comes, it becomes a fixed income. If you give it, you should give it, and if you don’t give it, you will be punished. All bad habits come from the common law.

After dealing with the matter in Wenyuan Pavilion, Lin Yanchao had not finished the matter yet, so Lin Yanchao brought back home with a bunch of regular words from the cabinet, preparing to continue reading.

After leaving the Forbidden City, Lin Yanchao was about to get on the carriage and went home when he saw Chen Jichuan coming hurriedly and said, "Master, Master."

Lin Yanchao was already on the carriage and saw Chen Jichuan and asked, "Why are you here to do if you are not at home?"

Chen Jichuan hurriedly said, "Master, you are not at home today. There are several groups of guests coming to your house, all of whom want to congratulate you!"

"Congratulations?" Lin Yanchao understood that the news that he had become a cabinet official on the first day today must have spread throughout the yamen in the capital, which also means that the pace of officials giving gifts and bribery has begun.

"Do they have a post to come?"

"This is something." After saying that, Chen Jichuan took out a stack of posts for Lin Yanchao to read.

Lin Yanchao saw that there were seventeen or eighteen posts. So Lin Yanchao picked up the posts and read them one by one, including the Imperial College, the military officials of the five cities, the envoys of the Wanping County. After reading this, Lin Yanchao suddenly thought to himself that these were all miscellaneous officials. I really felt sorry for his dignified Hanlin status when I saw it.

"Will you see me or not?"

So Lin Yanchao said, "You go back and tell them first, and I will say thank you for your kindness. However, Lin Yanchao, a subordinate of the official, is selfless and does not accept any requests. If you ask for business, please come to the office to inquire. I will not report directly, as I may hurt my feelings, and I will also tell Yu Bo in the future."

Lin Yanchao was in the cabinet and was openly crowded. It would be too much for him to spread like this. He would rather not see him. Besides, although these miscellaneous officials were all very powerful in the capital, they were just like that. It was not very meaningful to make friends with him.

"It's the master." Chen Jichuan immediately understood, so he went back to give him a pass.

The next day.

Zhang Siwei arrived at the cabinet, and among the three masters of Wenyuan Pavilion, he was the first to come.

When he arrived at the duty room, he first ordered the inner servant to open all the doors and windows of his duty room, breathe through, and then let the inner servant clean it.

Zhang Siwei stood outside the duty room. After just standing for a while, he saw Lin Yanchao coming.

Zhang Siwei couldn't help but be slightly surprised. Seeing Lin Yanchao saluting him, he asked, "What's the matter if you come to our cabinet early in the morning?"

Lin Yanchao said respectfully: "If you go back to the cabinet, you don't understand many things when you are in charge of the first time, so before you arrive at the office, ask what your cabinet has explained to the cabinet today?"

Zhang Siwei was surprised. Lin Yanchao was very good at saying that if every cabinet official had his ability to understand his affairs, then the cabinet would be ten times easier.

However, Zhang Siwei would never say these words to Lin Yanchao. Zhang Siwei looked too lazy to speak, and said to the confidential secretary Dong Zhongshu on the side: "You tell him!"

Dong Zhongshu nodded, and in front of Zhang Siwei, he restrained his arrogance and calmly explained the important things to Lin Yanchao today, and finally said: "The cabinet will meet with the Six Centres this afternoon, and you will come to the secretary's minutes for the meeting room."

The Cabinet and the Six Sections are two very strange departments, and first of all, they cannot be found in the Ming Dynasty.

Secondly, the second department is only a yamen located in the Forbidden City. Needless to mention the cabinet, it is the sixth-rank six department, which directly supervises the six ministries, and is only responsible to the emperor, and has the right to advise and impeach.

Therefore, all the six ministers of the ministers had to sell them to the other party for their face.

Third, both departments hold heavy power.

As for the greeting, it is the rules of the cabinet and the six departments. It has been continued since the beginning of the country. According to regulations, the cabinet and the six departments need to greet twice a month, which is all confidential.

So Lin Yanchao said: "I will write down the humble official, what else do the central hall give?"

Zhang Siwei shook his head, and even if he replied, Lin Yanchao immediately bowed to Zhang Siwei and then left.

He was busy in the office in the morning, and in the afternoon, Lin Yanchao came to the reception room of the cabinet.

Then he pushed the door open, and a burst of laughter came from the bowing room. But he saw more than a dozen six-subject officials gathered together and chatting and laughing.

The official system of the Ming Dynasty habitually used small to control the big.

For example, the second-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing, but he is a high-ranking official and has no heavy power. He is a retired official and has less influence on the court than the six subjects. What is the most feared thing for the six subjects? It is promotion.

It seems bizarre, but that's it. There is a saying in the officialdom that describes the promotion of the six subjects, which is called "the promotion of the seventh level of official position is reduced by ten thousand points."

Because the staff member was promoted, it was not like Lin Yanchao's Hanlin officials who were promoted one level after another, but directly jumped from the seventh rank to the third rank, and were promoted seventh rank in one go. However, the staff member was complaining that the official was promoted to the seventh rank, and the momentum was reduced by ten thousand.

The dozen six-college staff gathered together, just about to laugh, and saw someone open the door and enter the room. Everyone couldn't help but stop and look at the door. Several of them had first met Lin Yanchao, but they felt that a strange face came in.

But when they saw several colleagues beside them standing up and bowing to each other, they were worried about being rude, they also stood up and bowed. After asking, they found out that it was Lin Yanchao.

So the staff continued to chat with a smile, while Lin Yanchao walked to the table at the corner of the landlord and sat down.

There is also a table in the west corner where the Zhongshu who belongs to the West Room is sitting.

At present, Lin Yanchao is doing the work of meeting minutes, and this matter is not new, but in his previous life, he attended small meetings in the yamen, and discussions were trivial matters. I occasionally help me record them.
