On the second year of Jingtai, on the 23rd day of the first lunar month, the morning court.

Headed by the Censor Wang Hao, the Qingliu civil officials wrote a letter to the final exam, and the candidates of Bai Minghe, who was not good at what kind of virtue and how could they become officials? If Bai Minghe failed during the exam, wouldn’t the court be ridiculed by the people of the world!

Therefore, the Qingliu people protested strongly, and they would not enter the officialdom unless they were in the imperial examination.

Daizong Zhu Qiyu sat on the imperial seat very well. When he arranged for Bai Minghe to be an official, he knew that such a result would be possible. So he didn't care, and several officials were arranged in the court to help him speak.

Peng Shi gave a gift and left the list, and Zhu Qiyu was delighted. Peng Shi's long speech was just used to deal with the censor.

I am definitely an emperor who knows people and is good at using it.

Just when Zhu Qiyu was expecting Peng Shi to make a fuss about his favorite remarks, he saw Peng Shi take out a memorial: "I think I will not be admitted to the officialdom without being in the imperial examination. I would like to take back the official position!"

Zhu Qiyu almost vomited blood on the spot. What's your Peng Shi? He actually put it on me.

"Long live, I think what Peng Shi said is the voice of all civil officials. Only those who have experienced the formal imperial examination can enter the court and become an official. Bai Minghe is just an applicant, and he is the second-last grade in Shaanxi. Therefore, I think Bai Minghe is just a boastful person!"

Yang Ning stood up and the popularity changed immediately.

Gao Gu touched his beard at this time. Yang Ning was afraid that he wanted to get to power. Could it be that he was still counting on the Third Division and the Third Young Master waiting for him?

Thinking of this, Gao Gu's eyes turned to Shang Lu.

With just one eye contact, the two have reached a sympathy, so they will suppress Yang Ning first.

Finally, the two of them looked at Chen Xun, the chief minister of the cabinet, Huagai Palace, at the same time. Chen Xun did not participate in the struggles of these sects. He was a scribe and a real scribe. So he was in a conflict.

On the one hand, he disliked Qingliu's empty talk attitude. On the other hand, he did not support Yu Qian's attitude of not using people in small matters. At the same time, he was also disgusted with Gao Gu's approach of scrambling life, pursuing experience, and not seeking nothing but seeking nothing.

At this time, the three factions were fighting in the court, and it can be said that they were all seeking his opinions.

Today's dispute is too sudden, and it can be said that each faction has not had enough time to communicate in private.

However, Yang Ning, you have been playing too much. You want to use this incident of giving official titles to a white-name crane to increase your reputation and then use the title of the chief examiner to increase the number of people in your faction. Then you will make the Ming Dynasty court lose balance. Even if you do not support Yu Qian's approach, you recognize Yu Qian's efforts for the revival of the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Chen Xun did not respond to Gao Gu and Yu Qian, but made an example directly.

"Long live, the old minister has a few words to say!"

The cabinet at this time of the Ming Dynasty was not as strong as the cabinet to defeat the six ministries in the late Ming Dynasty, but the cabinet chief was the chief minister after all. Chen Xun made an example, and the court immediately became quiet.

After getting permission, Chen Xun said: "Long live, the Ming Dynasty's law. Juren can be an official."

Chen Xun set the tone for this matter in one sentence. Juren can be an official. What's wrong with the emperor arranging a small official? Are you making noise here? Do you not take the Ming Dynasty's laws seriously or do you not take the Ming Dynasty's ancestors seriously?

Yang Ning was stunned. He had considered Gao Gu and too Qian, but he didn't expect Chen Xun to speak in person.

"Long live, for the past century, many people have been appointed as officials first and then taken the Beijing exam. The Jinshi is naturally even better, but the Jinshi is also obtained from the Juren. Long live with a wise eye. I think the white-name crane must be a talented person. So I asked Long live. The cabinet ordered the house to be insufficient, and I think the white-name crane can be supplemented!"

Yang Ning had the urge to kill someone.

Speaking of playing rules, he really can't compare to the old minister Chen Xun.

The Secretariat of the Central Secretariat requires two subjects to be a Jinshi. However, it doesn’t matter if the two families are. Many children of officials also work here and do not require the status of a Jinshi.

To put it bluntly, the cabinet is responsible for copying confidential documents and has no real power. From the seventh rank, the official rank is just a good sound. Only the people of the Secretariat and the Wenhua Palace sect have the opportunity to move up. Even if you work until you die, you will still go from the seventh rank.

Of course, if you die, you may rise a little, and the comfort of the sixth grade.

"I am a good friend!" Gao Gu smiled coldly at Yang Ning, thinking to himself, Yang Ning, you are still young, let's practice for a few more years.

Yu Qian also made an example: "I am in charge of the etiquette!"

In an instant, more than half of the ministers in the court followed suit, and Zhu Qiyu agreed happily, praising the prime minister that he could always grasp the best direction at the critical moment.

After the court, Yang Ning's face turned pale. His idea was very simple. Only a Jinshi could be an official. I don't know how many disciples he would have as a teacher, and he also gave the scholars a signal that only by studying hard and taking good imperial examinations was the way out. People like Bai Minghe who only had a false reputation could not enter the Ming Dynasty officialdom.

It’s a lot of calculations, but Chen Xun didn’t take action, so I regret it.

Zhu Qiyu's smile on his face. This is his success. What thoughts did he think in the past? This is really annoying to persuade him and the advice. It is the plan for the cabbage and carrot. It has been discussed for half a month, but there has not been a complete result yet.

In the palace, the cabinet office space.

After all, Shang Lu was still young, only 36 years old, and he returned here one step further along. He immediately started to search through the files reported before. As he was flipping through the files, Chen Xun came back and saw Shang Lu looking through the files. He asked purely out of curiosity: "Hongzai, what are you looking for?"

"Find a case that is extremely difficult to deal with and leave it to Bai Minghe to do it!" Shang Lu replied, while his subordinates were not idle.

Chen Xun was a little surprised. Is Baiminghe really a talent?

He asked now, "How tall is this white crane?"

"He said himself, the heights are so cold!" Shang Lu respected this senior very much, and stood up straight and replied in a half-joking tone. Sure enough, Chen Xun laughed heartily: "What a young madman."

When Shang Lu was about to go over again, Chen Xun took out a bag from under his desk.

"I'm also in a dilemma for this matter!"

After taking the file, Shang Lu looked through a few pages, he was also sweating. This was a legacy problem since the Yongle period. It was a very troublesome problem. Many remote, very painful places, or very poor vocational responsibilities, and many current officials who were in office would rather take advantage of the loopholes of the Ming Dynasty to get sick than take up the post.

"This seems very difficult!" Shang Lu looked through this file and designed a solution for it himself.

But there has never been a thoughtful idea that can be considered in all aspects.

Chen Xun smiled indifferently: "Simple, is it useful?" After saying that, he took out another file: "This is extremely difficult for many officials. But I think that handing it over to Bai Minghe is to give him credit, and of course, it may also send a lot of silver."

Shang Lu mentioned the file and took a look.

It was really a hard work and a tiring job. It was a case of clearing the river channel of Yongding River and repairing the river embankment. This case was a case before Tumu Fort. Because of the troubles, the case was decided at that time and was slowed down. (Yongding River was called Hunhe in the Ming Dynasty)

After the Tumu Fort was released, he naturally let it go.

"The Baiminghe did something in Xiaquan Village is not a secret. For so many magistrates, so many magistrates have not dared to do it. Why? I heard that Shangshu Yu had seen the Baiminghe, and I thought that the Baiminghe would definitely say: The investment is too great and the profit is very small, just for tens of thousands of acres of barren land and more than a thousand households. Let a magistrate prepare several thousand taels of silver to do the business, and the magistrate is willing to take a step back. If you do it well, it is a duty, and if you do it badly, it is a sin. Naturally, the magistrate doesn't want to do it anymore."

Shang Lu nodded: "Shu Yu has been there, and the results he asked are similar to what Mr. Chen said!"

"You, the Yongding River, are handed over to the hands of the white-famous crane. I guess he can play with you."

"What Mr. Chen said is very much!" After Shang Lu thought about it, it seemed that this was the case. Even though the matter in Yongding River was really large in scale, the 32 villages in Laishui County were simpler.

Chen Xun gently patted the two case files in his hand: "Let Bai Minghe come to see me!"

"Thank you Mr. Chen!" Shang Lu gave a deep gift.

At this time, Bai Minghe's ship had already entered the capital because he was on the official ship, and he had the double banner of the palace and the Jinyiwei. There was no one to check along the way, and when he entered the dock, he went directly to the official wharf.

After getting off the boat, Bai Minghe saw Cheng Jing from afar and was on the dock.

Just as Bai Minghe was stunned, Cheng Jing bowed and bowed to Bai Minghe from afar and left.

Bai Minghe quickly returned the favor. Even if Cheng Jing can no longer see it, Bai Minghe would not dare to lose this etiquette. But he was even more confused in his heart, what does Cheng Jing mean by what this gift mean.

After standing upright, Ye Bao came to Bai Minghe: "Mr. Bai, three notices came from the dock. The first one asked Mr. Bai to enter the palace, but the second one changed, and asked Mr. Bai to go to the Ministry of Personnel to receive the seal. This third one was the chief minister of the dynasty, who asked Mr. Bai to come to the mansion, saying that he was treating Mr. Bai to dinner. And the first two were invalid."

Chen Xun, the chief minister of the dynasty, was in the heart of Bai Minghe. This was the position below one person and above millions.

At least I saw it in later TV series, the chief minister, what a great official is this?

Of course, at this time, the function of the chief minister was still at the level of the secretary-general and did not reach the level of the chief prime minister.

Sun Yuanjun did not follow him, but was taken to a house in the west of the imperial city by the Jinyiwei: "Mrs. Bai, the original owner of the house was an official from the Ministry of Revenue. Later, his house was seized and the house was empty. Since Mr. Bai was an official in the capital, he would just stay there first."

Will you stay there?
