The Department of General Administration is equivalent to the Central General Office of the Ming Dynasty.

Since Wang Qian, the former left general political secretary, was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Hu Sizong, the former left senator, actually bypassed Qiu Xian, the right general government, and went straight to the left general government, which can be regarded as shocking the attention of the political world.

Later, everyone figured out that Hu Sizong was Yang Shiqi's fellow countryman!

The first thing Yang Shiqi did when he entered the cabinet was to help his little brother on the horse, and several other people in the cabinet were also willing to sell Yang Shiqi's face.

After the news of the arrival of the Annan mission reached the General Administration, Hu Sizong hurriedly went to the Ministry of Rites with the credentials of the state.

There are six central departments, and the Criminal Department only hangs an empty sign, the main office location is outside the Taiping Gate, and the remaining five departments are co-signed, among them, the most deserted is the Ministry of Rites.

has no oil and water, no real power, but it is the yamen that all officials want to enter with their heads cut off after the increase.

The Ministry of Rites does not do as much official business as the Ministry of Household Affairs in a year, and everyone is the same, so why bother to find something for yourself? When the officials of the old Zhu family are corrupt, isn't that purely to find excitement for themselves?

When Hu Sizong entered the official office of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Qian was practicing calligraphy with his head down, and in the empty main hall, there were several young students shaking their heads and reading "Zhou Li".

"Ministry."

Hu Sizong lowered his hand and looked at the old leader in front of him. The busy mess of the General Administration Department was transferred to the most idle Ministry of Rites in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Qian's spirit is obviously much better than before, the age of more than forty years old, at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, he received the second rank, precipitated for a few years, and there was no opportunity to enter the cabinet as a minister.

Wang Qian didn't raise his head, just raised his hand and continued to concentrate on the study room in front of him, Hu Sizong decisively closed his mouth and stepped forward to take a look: only fear the gods, respect and be cautious.

Regardless of whether the Ministry of Rites has real power, it is one of the six departments of the Central Committee of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Qian, as a second-class minister, can also be regarded as a giant in the political arena, and it is naturally impossible to have fewer people to win him over, and the officialdom culture of the Ming Dynasty is to take fellow villagers and classmates as a link, and then evolve into the same party.

Hu Sizong's heart suddenly looked like a mirror, Wang Qian is from Shandong, and he is still the same as Chen Ying, the current imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"Boyuan is here."

Putting down the pen, Wang Qian raised his head, and at the same time raised his hand to signal Hu Sizong to sit down.

"It's a coincidence that you came today, and the Imperial Front Division just sent a good tea to the ministries, and I will taste it."

Hu Sizong laughed: "It's that the lower officials have a mouthful." ”

After a pause, Hu Sizong opened his mouth and explained his intentions: "Annan's mission is here, and now Wengcheng is waiting." ”

Wang Qian only sighed softly, and still sat in his seat, as if it was not the envoy of the subject country, but a group of cats and dogs.

Hu Sizong was stunned, no, what kind of response is this? When the subject country comes to the mission, don't you have to send someone to receive and settle it?

"Ministry?"

Hu Sizong thought that Wang Qian had been idle for too long, and his ears were blocked by earwax, so he called again.

"What's the hurry?"

Wang Qian frowned slightly, took the tea bowl offered by the officials, and took a sip pleasantly: "Ha, the lips and teeth are fragrant, good, very good." Boyuan also tasted. ”

This person has been promoted, so he likes to pretend to be calm so much? Seems to be old and dominant?

Seeing that Hu Sizong didn't drink, Wang Qian was happy, his old subordinate, he was young and impatient, and he rose too fast, and his typical brain couldn't keep up with his ass.

Also, in his thirties, there can be a few people like Yang Shiqi.

"Annan's mission, come and come, now it's not a year, what are you going to do?"

Wang Qian still decided to educate Hu Sizong again: "No matter how big the subject country is, it is a small matter for our Ming Dynasty. ”

Hu Sizong took out the national letter and put it on Wang Qian's case: "Annan's national letter." ”

Wang Qian looked at the blood-stained letter of state, still disapproving, and laughed: "It seems that this time, the military disaster in Annan is not small. ”

The matter of Annan's war, these central officials are well-informed and have known about it for a long time.

After all, in recent years, the domestic business has been developed, and there are not a few businessmen from Guangzhou, Guangzhou, and Yunnan.

"Since the military disaster is not small, why not report it to Your Majesty as soon as possible."

Stupidity!

Wang Qian was very disappointed in his heart: "Do you think Your Majesty wants to meet them now?" ”

Seeing Hu Sizong wondering, Wang Qian sighed.

"Bo Yuan, this courtier, your brain should be active, you are now the secretary of the general administration of the left, acting for the exchange of government decrees between the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, you have to keep the affairs of the world in your heart, you can't be chaotic, you are chaotic, the government will be chaotic.

In the future, if you are promoted to the sixth ministry and the auxiliary government of the country, you must learn to analyze some information and intelligence that others cannot see from every thing, and only if you understand that others do not understand, can you show your wisdom and you can rise step by step. ”

Hu Sizong was confused by Wang Qian's words, but Hu Sizong was not completely stupid, knowing that Wang Qian must have a deep meaning in doing this, so he sat down and frowned.

Annan is in turmoil, and at this time he sent an embassy into Beijing, for what?

Don't even think about it, of course I'm here to ask for help.

Wang Qian just asked, does the emperor want to meet now? It means that of course you have to see, but not now!

When the rebellion in Annan was pacified, after Hu Ji ploughed, the Ming Dynasty withdrew from Yunnan, and no one understood the emperor's thoughts.

When the Ming army entered Annan, no matter what it was in name, at least in the eyes of Annan, it was aggression, if Daming did not leave, even if it was a dead country for the Annan people, it would definitely cause the Annan people to resist, and now Annan's mission came to ask for help, and the Ming Dynasty went to Annan again.

I have to make this group of Annan's envoys anxious, they are now in danger of losing the country, but even if they are ruined, there are two kinds. Dying at the hands of a foreigner is not the same thing as dying at the hands of one's own people!

"If Annam is destroyed by Siam and other countries, it will be destroyed, and the dust will return to dust."

Hu Sizong followed his train of thought and said: "But if before the destruction of the country, this group of princes and ministers of Annan took the initiative to merge Annan into my Ming Dynasty, at least, they could change their wealth for themselves." ”

If you use the country of Annan as a bargaining chip.

If the country is destroyed by a foreigner, this chip will be lost, but before the country is destroyed, if you redeem this chip, you will also lose the bargaining chip, but it can be regarded as maximizing the benefits.

Wang Qian nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, now that I am going to rescue them, what conditions can they offer?" It's nothing more than the same as before, calling ministers, paying tribute, and being grateful. Nope.

What about helping them take away Siam now, wait, when they are about to have nothing, they will choose to propose to merge Annam into our Ming Dynasty, and when the time comes, they can also mix with the wealth of the previous emperor or the first generation, and what they pay is nothing more than the people of Annam in the future to make trouble, and they take the initiative to help us quell the chaos. ”

Hu Sizong admired Wang Qian in his heart at this time, or said that people could be promoted, speculating on the holy will, he was still tender.

"Listening to Ming Gong's words, I learned a lot from the younger ones."

Hu Sizong got up and bowed deeply, Wang Qian smiled, and hurriedly walked over to pick up Hu Sizong: "Boyuan, don't be too polite." ”

How to say that Hu Sizong is also Yang Shiqi's fellow countryman, as far as Yang Shiqi's ability is concerned, Wang Qian has no doubt that he will one day become the first assistant of the cabinet, and when the time comes, how can Hu Sizong also be all the way.

"Someone's coming."

Outside the hall, a shroud ran in and waited.

Wang Qian thought for a while and said, "The host and guest Qing officials went to the corner of the city to greet the Annan delegation and his party, so that they could settle down, and they didn't ask anything else." ”

"Yes."

The officials went down to pass the word, and Wang Qian only had a whole official robe.

"Bo Yuan, let's get busy, the old man is going to enter the palace to face the saint."

This is to run in front of the emperor to show it, so that the emperor can see how much Wang Qian understands the holy will.

Hu Sizong secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart, and hurriedly said goodbye: "The ministry is busy first, and the officials will retire." ”
