The rain was abundant in early summer, and it rained heavily in the middle of the night last night.

The next morning, as if the city had been washed after the rain, the flowers and trees on the roadside seemed to be vibrant, and the officials went to their respective yamen.

Although the recent court is in the period of the great reshuffle, too many of them are ordinary low-level officials, and the changes in the upper echelons have little to do with them. In addition to talking about it more, the focus of daily life is the daily affairs of the yamen.

After the peak period of Shangya, the gate of Wufu finally moved.

Wu Shan, who was wearing a majestic python robe, took a sedan chair and sat in the sedan chair with his eyes closed, but he no longer went to the yamen of the ministry, but went in the direction of Xiyuan.

"Pavilion elder honor guard, quickly avoid!"

When a hundred households of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division saw the honor guard appear, they were walking on Chang'an Avenue and shouting at the officials, scholars and people who appeared on the street.

Pavilion Old!

Everyone learned that it was the honor guard of the elder, whether it was an official or an ordinary scholar and a common man, their eyes were full of yearning, and they also inquired about the identity of the elder.

Thanks to Wu Shan's good reputation, when it was known that this was the honor guard of the new Ming Dynasty's second assistant, some officials had already bowed down on both sides of the road, and even regarded Wu Shan as a god.

Because the identity of the elder of the Jiajing Dynasty is the most noble, "thinking about the elder of the pavilion" has become a common mentality of the scholars, and the elder of the pavilion is full of admiration.

Once you become an old man, the world will know it from now on!

Wu Shan also felt that the treatment outside was obviously different from the past, but he just thought about his own situation, but shook his head bitterly.

Although he has entered the cabinet and has naturally become a second assistant, his power is no longer as good as when he was in the ministry. At the moment, he is in the cabinet, and he is actually in a one-to-three situation, which can be described as an all-round disadvantage.

When the sedan chair arrived at the palace gate of Xiyuan, Wu Shan walked out of the sedan chair and came to meet St. Xie according to the process.

"I've seen Wu Ge Lao!"

Yan Ne and Li Chunfang arrived here first, and originally wanted to walk to the palace gate together, but seeing Wu Shan's sedan chair appear, they were also waiting here to give a proper salute.

Although Yan Ne was extremely unhappy yesterday, it had become a fact that Wu Shan had entered the pavilion, and he was wearing a python robe, so he quickly corrected his position as an ordinary pavilion elder.

"Minqing, Zishi, let's meet Saint Xie together!" Wu Shan was not polite to the two, but proposed.

Yan Ne and Li Chunfang agreed, that is, let Wu Shan go first. Although they entered the cabinet on the same day, the difference in seniority between the three was clear at a glance, Wu Shan was at the front and Li Chunfang was at the end.

When the three of them arrived at the palace gate, they seriously expressed their intentions and asked the palace gate eunuchs to go to the Wanshou Palace for a ceremony.

Jiajing must not have gotten up at this time, and usually does not necessarily summon them. However, they are already old people of officials, but it is impossible to skip them directly in order to save time, but to wait here honestly.

I thought that there would be a reply until the emperor went to sleep, but Huang Jin came out in person and said with a smile: "The emperor said last night, you will enter the cabinet on errands in the future, you don't need to engage in these red tapes, you can go to the Hanlin Academy as soon as possible to handle the entry!" ”

Wu Shan and the three thanked Huang Jin, and they went to the Hanlin Courtyard together.

Whether it is Wu Shan, a scholar of Wenyuange, or a scholar of Wuyingdian in Yan Ne, or Li Chunfang's scholar of Zhongji Palace, the official files are not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Officials, but are classified as Hanlin Academy.

"Xia Guan has seen Wu Ge Lao, Yan Ge Lao, and Li Ge Lao!"

The Hanlin Bachelor was originally Dong Fen, but Dong Fen has been cut down, and now the Hanlin Academy's Bachelor-in-Waiting, Chen Yiqin, is in charge of the Hanlin Academy, who has already greeted the three of them at the door, and said with a unique Sichuan accent.

Chen Yiqin is a Jinshi in Jiajing for 20 years, a person from Shunqing Mansion in Sichuan, who was elected as a Jishi and first awarded the Hanlin review.

It's just that no one dares to underestimate him, he was also a lecturer for King Yu for nine years during the Hanlin Academy, although he is still only a bachelor from the Hanlin of the fifth grade, but he is already a future emperor.

"There is Master Lao Chen, please join us for us!" Wu Shan did not despise and attach importance to Chen Yiqin, and said seriously.

"Three elders, please go with the lower officials to worship Saint Kong!" Chen Yiqin put his position very right, and even invited.

After paying homage to the saint Confucius, the official seal and official uniform were distributed, and at the same time, all the officials from the top and bottom of the Hanlin Academy came to the hall to pay homage to the three new scholars.

Chen Jingbang, a new first-class jinshi who had just entered the Hanlin Academy, saw that his master had entered the cabinet, and he was also happy in his heart, and he still remembered the teachings of his master "the sedan chair man has wet shoes, and he will not take care of it".

When Wu Shan faced Chen Jingbang and the three of them, he also took special care of the three of them, and he nodded slowly and said a word of encouragement.

This process also took about half an hour.

Leaving from the Hanlin Academy, the three returned to Xiyuan again.

This time, the eunuch was no longer allowed to carry out the ceremony, but directly entered the West Garden, came to the main hall of the Wuyi Hall to salute the saint statue again, and was already a member of the Ming Cabinet.

When Xu Jie learned of their arrival, he was already waiting in the cabinet chamber.

"Meet Gensuke-sama!"

Wu Shan, Yan Ne and Li Chunfang came to the hall and saluted in a proper manner.

"You don't need to be polite, please be seated!"

Xu Jie, like a spring breeze, was already welcoming the three of them into the pavilion.

Wu Shan's new python robe has a chest position that bulges upward, but he smoothed it with his hand, and sat on the public seat with kindness, his face as serious as ever.

Yan Ne sat on the first public seat in the east of Wushan, and Li Chunfang sat on the first public seat in the west opposite of Wushan.

Zhang Siwei often does the work of serving tea and delivering water, which is to bring tea to the three elders who came.

"You have been here for a long time, and I am afraid that you don't need to be introduced by the old man! Yu Jing, the duty room you left in Maozhong, Minqing and Zi are actually in the two duty rooms next door, how can it be proper? Xu Jie drank a cup of tea and arranged with a smile.

"Obey Motosuke's arrangement!" When Wu Shan heard that this arrangement was reasonable, he also replied seriously.

After Xu Jie's politeness, he said straight to the point: "The three of you have joined the cabinet, resulting in the vacancy of the positions of the three Shangshu and the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, and the Dong Fen has been cut down, the top priority is to fill these four positions, I don't know what to do?" ”

The matter has come to the point, Yan Ne and Li Chunfang exchanged glances, and then respectfully bowed his hand and said: "Everything is up to Yuan Fu to decide!" ”

Wu Shan sighed secretly in his heart, but he still said: "Yuanfu is very worried, but he doesn't plan to arrange it?" ”
