Chapter 1814: Half-Step Pavilion Elder
"Congratulations on your ascension!"
When Lin Haoran took a sedan chair back to the Hubu Shangshu, Ma Sen and other officials of the Thirteenth Department of the Hubu had already learned the news and came to the front yard to congratulate Lin Haoran.
When Lin Haoran got out of the sedan chair, he looked at the familiar faces and heard their congratulatory words, and he also felt a sigh in his heart.
Before leaving here to enter the palace, everyone was still worried about his future, but now that he has returned, he is already a first-class official in the current dynasty.
When the household yamen was jubilant, the news that Lin Haoran was awarded the title of "prince and princess" from the first product was spreading as quickly as possible and became the hottest topic in the capital.
Although everyone knows that sooner or later there will be such a day, after all, Lin Haoran, who was born as a minister, will eventually enter the cabinet, and naturally he will be awarded the official title of the third division of the East Palace, but this news is still extremely shocking.
If it happened to other ministers, it seemed logical that he would be awarded the title of the third division of the East Palace, and even Yuan Wei was already hanging the title of prince from Yipin in the Ministry of Rites.
However, Lin Haoran is only a young man in his twenties, and it seems too early now.
Unlike the local officials, many political envoys from the second rank returned to the capital, and they were willing to be demoted to the fourth rank of the right of the Imperial Palace, but this title of prince from the first rank will accompany Lin Haoran for a lifetime.
The same is true, this incident hit the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people like an attack wave. Lin Haoran once again set a new record: he became the youngest Congyi Wenchen in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and he was only half a step away from the cabinet.
"My good man, this is an official residence!"
"Such a young first-class official, old decay is really unheard of!"
"If there is a vacancy in the cabinet, I'm afraid it won't be able to bypass Lin Wenkui, right?"
β¦β¦
In the restaurant and tea shop, the "idlers" in the capital have begun to guide the country again, after all, they are groups who care about politics, and they already understand the meaning of the title of prince and prince that Lin Haoran obtained.
If everyone might have set up obstacles for Lin Haoran's age to enter the cabinet before, but from an official who went from a first-class official to entering the cabinet, things have already seemed to come naturally.
Daming is a dynasty that pays attention to seniority, and if it is at the same level, Lin Haoran does not have much competitiveness. But if he competes with the officials of the second grade, then it is natural that he, the official from the first grade, will be the first to enter the cabinet to pay respects.
Chengbei Beihai Restaurant, lobby.
It was just when everyone sighed that a discordant voice suddenly sounded: "It's a pity! β
"Why do you say that!" After hearing this abnormal emotion, the person next to him immediately inquired about him.
The middle-aged man with the smell of sweat on his body first showed a regretful expression on his face, and then confided the truth to everyone present: "Don't you remember? Lin Wenkui is a man with a thin fate! The old fairy said: Although his talent is too filial piety, his life is still inferior to Zhou Gongjin! In April this year, it was not the superb medical skills of the king of the capital, I am afraid that Lin Wenkui is already a dead soul! β
"Not bad!"
"I've heard about it, too!"
"What a pity! Since ancient times, heroes have died young! β
β¦β¦
Listening to this conversation, everyone also shook their heads regretfully, just now they were all kinds of envy and jealousy towards Lin Haoran, but at this moment, they turned to sympathy.
How can it be beautiful? At that time, the overlord of Chu was not self-deprecating in Wujiang, and high life was the greatest happiness in life, and today's saints are obsessed with cultivation because they understand this truth.
At the same time, the news that Lin Pingping, the chief soldier of Guangxi who was a female officer in Nanyang, had single-handedly pacified the Zhenwu camp also spread throughout the capital, which also sparked extensive discussions.
"Nanjing City really has a bunch of big straw bales!"
"The imperial court didn't know what to think, and even let that straw bag prince serve as the garrison of Nanjing!"
"Li Sui, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, is also a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, I heard that he arranged Huang Maoguan to step on the wall and fall to his death!"
β¦β¦
After learning how easily Lin Ping solved the Zhenwu camp, he realized that the Zhenwu camp was just a papier-mΓ’chΓ© tiger, and those "wise men" who originally focused on the overall situation turned to accuse the Nanjing officials of being greedy for life and afraid of death, and even brought out the last Zhenwu camp mutiny.
It's just that the public opinion in the capital does not have a big impact on the current situation, and the officialdom in the capital seems to have calmed down all of a sudden.
In the evening, there was a sight of burning clouds in the west.
When Lin Haoran returned home in a sedan chair, Wu Qiuyu followed her to the front yard to greet her, and the glow from the west dyed her pretty face red, which looked very good-looking.
The woman is noble by her husband, and with Lin Haoran's official residence, Wu Qiuyu has also been canonized by the first-class lady today, and is officially among the top ladies in the capital.
Although she also does not have any real power, she has a prominent status, and she has escaped from the crowd of second-class people. In the circle of Mrs. Decree in the capital, she is already the top existence and has become the envy of others.
Lin Haoran looked at Wu Qiuyu, who had changed into a one-grade command uniform, and asked with a smile: "Madam, how do you feel now?" β
"The concubine is very happy, what about you?" Wu Qiuyu knew what Lin Haoran was asking, and responded with a smile.
Lin Haoran is an introverted person, and he never shows his emotions lightly on his face, but this time he responded unabashedly: "I am also very happy to be a husband!" β
Perhaps it is this system of "women rely on their husbands" that makes the two people very closely linked, and the two people feel the joy of "promotion" together.
"Husband, shouldn't we be thankful for our usual sister?" Wu Qiuyu knew the ins and outs of the matter, but when he walked towards the inner house, he was half-joking.
Lin Haoran's face changed slightly, and he responded with annoyance: "No, I'm going to beat her with a bamboo branch!" β
Wu Qiuyu tilted his neck and looked at Lin Haoran, with a very puzzled look on his face. If it weren't for Hu Niu who quelled the Zhenwu Camp Mutiny in one fell swoop, not to mention that he was gifted, I am afraid that he would have to face accountability, why does Xiang Gong seem to want to pursue Hu Niu?
Lin Haoran did not forget the agreement with his father-in-law, and soon after returning to the room to change clothes, he took Wu Qiuyu to Wu's mansion with him.
What he never expected was that when he came to his father-in-law's house, not only his father-in-law had returned here, but also his other teacher, Yin Tai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was also here.
For a moment, he faintly felt that this gathering was extraordinary.
