The eleventh year of Zheng Fengle is coming in the snow. This year is a rare peaceful year for the court. There is no trouble on the border, there are few disasters in prefectures and counties, and the people are safe.

Tian Shoulou, Fan Shiben and others returned to Beijing one after another before the New Year. Under the dual pressure of the emperor's strict order and Tongpu, the result of the Qing Dynasty was unsatisfactory. 27 states newly cleared 1.07 million hectares of land were found in 27 states, and nearly three million taels of silver were recovered. Da Zheng Yuanzheng (New Year) gave nine days of fake fals, and Yuanzheng was sealed in front, four dynasties and four dynasties, so the rewards and punishments were placed after the New Year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Anyi and Fan Shiben took their family to greet Yu Zhiyue. Yu's mansion was much more lively than in previous years, with two more son-in-law and students. Fan Shiben's family was brought to Fan Shiben's family and set up two tables of banquets. Everyone was drinking and chatting happily.

Zhang Zhicheng, who was originally scheduled to get married before the New Year, postponed the wedding because the Ministry of Revenue's year-end event was often postponed, which made Yu Zhijie feel full of apology to his daughter and son-in-law. After all, the son-in-law postponed the marriage to help him. The business of burning taozi brought him a lot of dividends. At the end of the year, Yu Zhiren sent him 12,000 taels of silver notes. The business of burning taozi was supported by Yu Zhijie's sign of the Minister of Revenue. This is something that everyone is tacitly aware of.

The Yu family is worried about finding a suitable house. Yu Qinghuan's wife is pregnant and will have a child in June. Yu Qingle married Zhang Yuzhu, and the house at home is a little nervous. Yu Zhijie intends to find a house that can be lived in three places, and will live in this house that Yu's son-in-law Zhang Zhicheng is indeed extremely satisfied with this son-in-law.

Regarding Jiang Anyi, Yu Zhijie didn't know what to say. The growth of this disciple had exceeded his imagination, and some things could even be described as miracles. As a teacher, Yu Zhijie felt it was necessary to remind Jiang Anyi a few words and said, "Anyi, now you are in the heart of the emperor and are trusted by the prince, so you must be more cautious. The experience of being a teacher for decades of officialdom is nothing more than four words: loyalty, righteousness, diligence, and tolerance. As an official, the first thing to do is to be loyal. Being loyal to the emperor and loyal to the court is the foundation of your foothold..."

Dong'er was very envious of Yu Qinghuan's wife's big belly. She hooked up with Jiang Anyi with her flashing eyes along the way back. Jiang Anyi originally wanted to understand the four-character key points that Master Yu learned, but it turned into a strong spring love.

On the second day of the lunar month, Tian Shoulou brought his family to greet Jiang Anyi. After several months of wind and rain, Tian Shuling, who was pale, became darker, his face was rosy, and he looked a little more energetic, but his eyes that were constantly turning did not change.

This time, Tian Shoulou was evaluated as the "highest" in the Ministry of Personnel. He heard that he could be promoted to at least one level and be promoted from Shulingshi to Lingshi, which was a small official under the ninth rank. These Tian Shoulou was worried and could not be at peace. He took the opportunity to greet Jiang Anyi in New Year's greetings to find out the news.

Jiang Anyi asked about this matter at Master Yu's house yesterday. After all, this is the first lackey under his disciple, so he should care about it no matter how much he said. Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "Tian Shuling has been changing positions for many years. I heard from Master Yu that only ten people have the 'highest' performance exams. The emperor intends to be promoted to two levels and set an example for the small officials in the world, so Tian Shuling is likely to become the head of Tian."

There are eight officials in the Ministry of Rites, all of which are from the ninth rank. It happens that the Ministry of Rites has a lack of officials. If it is normal, such a position will be occupied by the children of the high-ranking officials. This time, Tian Shoulou took advantage of the spring breeze of Qing Dynasty, and Yu Zhijie and Jiang Anyi were supported by the back, so it is very likely that the Ministry of Rites will be defeated.

Tian Shoulou was ecstatic at first and thanked Jiang Anyi repeatedly. He sat back on the chair and smiled foolishly for a long time, then shed tears.

Jiang Anyi felt uncomfortable and laughed and scolded: "Old Tian, ​​it's a big happy thing. It's the New Year again. Why are you crying? Don't leave later. Have a drink with me. It's a celebration for you." Tian Shoulou stood up again and thanked me solemnly.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the great dynasty.

Tian Shoulou's name appeared on the list of rewards, and he became the head of the Ministry of Rites as he wished; Fan Shiben's official rank was also promoted from Xuan Delang, who was under the seventh rank to Gongyoulang; the most eye-catching thing was that Wei Huaichao, the chief censor, was promoted again, but the official rank was not moved, but the official was promoted from Taizhong Doctor, who was under the fourth rank. Another chief censor, Li Mingyi, felt lost, and it seemed that the secret battle ended in failure.

In the next few days, the government affairs hall frequently issued documents, and a series of officials were promoted, resigned, transferred, and demoted. Because of the successful Qing Dynasty, Kong Kun, the governor of Bingzhou (Shangzhou) was promoted to the Minister of Sinong Temple, Lu Liangzhen, the governor of Weizhou (Zhongzhou) was replaced, Feng Shaojun, the governor of Dezhou (Xiazhou) was replaced, Li Mingxing, the former minister of Sinong Temple, was transferred to the Minister of Taipu Temple, Jin Zi Guanglu Dafu, the governor of Qianzhou Leng Ming was demoted to the Minister of Duanzhou, and Peng Yuyun, the governor of Huangzhou, was dismissed from office...

When Li Mingxing came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was already completely dark. Under the help of his servant, he stepped into the car with great difficulty and looked back at the pair of red lanterns in front of the mansion. It became hazy in the wind and snow. Li Mingxing sighed silently, the curtain of the car was hanging down, and the carriage slowly started.

The conversation with Wei Xiang disappointed Li Mingxing. The Wei family was completely on the side of the emperor. Could it be that the emperor married the princess to Wei Xiang's grandson, which made this shrewd old man lose his ability to judge? Didn't you know that the emperor had raised his knife and was going to attack the aristocratic family?

The Li family has the highest official rank, and from the third rank, the transfer from the Sinong Temple Minister to the Taipu Temple Minister seems to be a temporary transfer, but in fact it is a secret surrender. The Sinong Temple "controls the government orders accumulated by the national storage committee, and is the general of the four departments of the four departments of the State, Taicang, Hoodun, and the officials of the various supervisors." It can be said that it has a high position and is powerful. In addition to the Temple Minister, it is also from the third rank, it is the emperor to manage horses.

It seems that Mingyi's impeachment of the Qing Dynasty completely angered the emperor. Mingyi wanted to compete with Wei Chaohuai for the position of censorship and the emperor seemed to be out of the way. Although the emperor said that Mingyi would not punish him, it was even more painful to cut his flesh with such a soft knife. During the Chinese New Year, he saw that Mingyi had lost weight a lot. It seemed that he wanted to find an opportunity to let Mingyi go to the prefecture to become a local official.

As a result, the power of the Li family in the capital was too thin. Among the ten aristocratic families, the foundation of the Li family in the capital was the weakest. Li Mingxing frowned. If the emperor allowed the emperor to punish him, the Li family would probably disappear from the top ten aristocratic families in less than ten years.

Li Mingxing stomped his legs violently. The groom thought he was going to stop the car, so he quickly grabbed the horse. Li Mingxing woke up and asked the coachman to continue moving forward. He had already ordered that even if it was a serious injury to his vitality, he would still want to attract several alliances to preserve the identity of the Li family.

Wei Yishen stood in front of the East Academy and watched Li Mingxing leave in disappointment. He knew that an irreparable barrier had already formed between the Wei family and the Li family. He walked slowly in the yard with his hands behind his back. The snow on the corridor was cleaned up very clean. The lanterns hanging under the eaves reflected the white snow on the roof, emitting a dizzy yellow reflection, revealing a little warmth.

It’s not that he didn’t want to help the Li family. Li Mingxing didn’t see the emperor’s determination to deal with the aristocratic family. If he stood up and spoke for the Li family, he would not only lose the trust of the emperor, but also helpless. The emperor originally intended to replace himself and replace him with a new prime minister, which would probably be even more unfavorable to the aristocratic family.

I slowly planned to do it, but the success of this Qing Dynasty war made the emperor confident and became more urgent to do things. The Tongpu, who had originally promised to be cancelled after the end of the Qing Dynasty war, now has no intention of removing it. I want to communicate with the six ministries and nine ministers, and strive to get the emperor to return the preface to the great court and successfully remove the Tongpu. This thing is a knife that lies on the head of the literati.

Wei Huaichao is a villain. He originally thought he was utilitarian but was quite upright. Now it seems that this kid can do anything for fame and fortune. If he was allowed to take charge of the Censorate successfully, there would be a group of cruel officials in the Censorate. Then, other voices would be hard to hear in the court. If the emperor gets used to calling out for a hundred promises, that would be a real disaster.

After a gust of wind, Wei Yishen felt a little dizzy. He was old and his energy was not as good as before. The most important thing now was not to help the Li family, but to consider the spokesperson of the aristocratic family in the court. Now he is the prime minister in the court, Lu Jialin is the Minister of Works, Wu Huaren is the son-in-law of the Cui family, and among the nine ministers are Huang Sheng, the Minister of Dali Temple Wang Zhijie, the Minister of Shaofu Temple Li Mingxing, and the Minister of Taichang Temple Zhou Huachang is the son-in-law of Lin. One third of the twenty-seven states are controlled by the aristocratic family and have strong power.

But if you are united, you will be thick, and if you are divided, you will be thin. In the court, the Li family is already weak. The Liu family and the Liu family are temporarily in trouble. The Shi family is originally a royal family. The Wang family is the descendant clan. The Wei family, the Lin family and the emperor stand aside. The Cui family, the Lu family and the Huang family are unclear. This fight is afraid that it will be difficult to distinguish for a while. Once you leave or grow old, the position of prime minister is in the hands of the emperor, and the aristocratic family will be truly in danger.

There are only a handful of people who can take over as prime minister among the aristocratic families. Lin Fu of the Lu family showed his performance and talked loudly, but he was not able to withstand practical practice; Wu Huaren was old, and he was just a son-in-law of the aristocratic family, so he was not necessarily reliable; Huang Sheng was a rigid person and was difficult to get along with; Wang Zhijie, as a descendant, could not allow him to be prime minister; Li Mingxing, thinking of Li Mingxing, Wei Yishen shook his head, today's performance shows that this person has little knowledge and only stared at a big place in front of him, and could not bear the heavy responsibility.

The current six ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, Pan Linfeng, and the Minister of Rites, Guo Congshi, are not a few years younger than him. They would not choose them because of the emperor's temper. The emperor chose the Chongwenguan bachelor's qualifications and grades are still different. Most of the direct scholars were prepared for the prince. Those who were expected to replace him instead of the people in the aristocratic family were the new minister of the Simin Temple, the Minister of the Political Affairs Hall (third rank) Ma Suizhen, the Secretary of the Left Supervisor Kong Sheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Yu Zhijie, and several other governors in Shangzhou.

Wei Yishen frowned deeply. It seemed that the position of prime minister was likely to fall into the hands of non-class families. He could only select a few children from the prefectures. Chuzhou Governor Liu Zhixing, Pingzhou Governor Cui Wenhu, Houzhou Governor Huang Ping, Weizhou Governor Liu Zongren are all heroes in the aristocratic family. These people have seen them and their performance in the prefectures are all "highest". I persist for another three or five years, and I will find a way to transfer one or two of them to the capital, and serve as a secretary-in-chief of the third rank in the Political Affairs Hall, or take over the position of the six ministries and nine ministers. At that time, even if the prime minister is not a child of the aristocratic family, he would be free of worries. Alas, it is not a year. If God can give himself another fifteen years of life, he can easily take over it. That is a pleasure in the world.
