South of the city, Dongjiang Rice Lane.

Many officials couldn't help but walk out of their own yamen, but they were paying attention to the movements on the side of the yamen of the ministry, and some officials even slipped to the door of the ministry's yamen and shrugged their ears in the wall to listen to the holy decree read by their father-in-law inside.

It's just that these people are destined to be disappointed, although some people can hear only a few words, but they can't hear what is said clearly at all, and I don't know if Dong Fen is really promoted to the secretary of the ministry.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Suddenly, there was a clear voice of thanks, and the answer seemed to have been announced.

After a while, a majestic grand duke led the two little eunuchs out in a hurry, and left directly in the carriage.

Then an official walked out of the yamen of the ministry, but he was immediately caught by the officials lurking here, and asked in a hurry: "Is it Dong Shilang who took over as the secretary of the ministry?" ”

The new official secretary has already touched the hearts of thousands of people, and he has long been hungry and thirsty for this news.

Some shrewd officials didn't waste their tongues at all, and when they saw the raised brows of this official who came out of it, they rushed into the yamen of the ministry to congratulate them.

"Congratulations to Lord Dong on his ascension to Heavenly Official!"

"Master Dong is in Dazai, and he is a low-ranking official!"

"Lord Dong presides over the rule of officials, and the Ming Dynasty is also lucky!"

……

With the first, there will be a second, and one after another, a large group of officials poured into the yamen, scrambling to congratulate Dong Fen with a smile on his face.

Zhou Youqing, the director of the Ministry of Officials, was not among the officials who congratulated Dong Fen on his promotion, and was about to return to the government office, but when he heard this, he also turned his head to look at Dong Fen.

At the same time, in the lobby of the household department.

Gonggong Liu unfolded the bright yellow holy decree, and read it aloud clearly: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Wu Shan, the secretary of the household department, is responsible for financial management, is diligent, has a degree of income and expenditure, and is very heartfelt!" However, the court officials are not well-governed, and there are many treacherous people, and now they have been reappointed as the secretary of the ministry, and they will preside over the affairs of Beijing as soon as possible. ”

Yes?

Not a book of rites? Is it the official book?

The officials who followed Wu Shan were all subordinate officials of the household department, from Zhang Sunchen, the left attendant, to the chief minister, and only a few people were absent. It's just that the vast majority of officials didn't expect that this huge pie would actually fall on Wu Shan's head.

As soon as they thought of this, they all looked up at Wu Shan in front of them in surprise.

Wu Shan gives people the feeling that he is well-behaved, and he does things in accordance with the rules, and there are not too many highlights on his body, but he is also unpickable, and he is resolutely an exemplary official.

However, in the current officialdom of bullying honest people, this kind of person is the most difficult to get promoted, let alone to point to the throne of the Ministry of Officials. In particular, it is rumored that Wu Shan is in the matter of Yueyan, which caused Long Yan to be furious.

Doubts, puzzles, doubts...... There was a mix of emotions, but all of a sudden it seemed unimportant.

Because the new secretary of the ministry is not the rumored Dong Fen and Yan Ne, but the inconspicuous and undewy ministry lord in front of him, and now he has become the most powerful second person in this dynasty.

With Wu Shan as the secretary of the ministry, the situation of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably undergo new changes, and this day has really changed.

"The minister receives the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Wu Shan, who was wearing a first-class official uniform, faced this sudden transfer, but he still maintained his usual cautious posture and style, and saluted in a proper manner.

The officials looked at the figure in front of them, and suddenly felt that this figure had become taller, and they were also following the rules and regulations to receive orders, silently digesting this shocking news.

Xiao Jinian is the head of the household department, and seeing that his teacher is about to become the secretary of the ministry, the whole person is also dancing.

It was also at this time that he finally understood why his senior brother asked not to talk about political affairs that day, it turned out that there was such a variable in things, and their teacher had the opportunity to compete for the throne of the ministry.

Gonggong Liu handed the bright yellow holy decree to Wu Shan, and then smiled and whispered: "The emperor said, let you go and do it, he will support you!" ”

"Weichen remember, thank Emperor Longen!" Wu Shan's face did not look shocked by honor and disgrace, and he responded with a straight face.

Gonggong Liu didn't say more greetings to Wu Shan, and seeing that the errand had been completed, he dragged the lame leg and walked slowly outside, and boarded the carriage to return to the palace.

"Congratulations to the Ministry on your ascension!"

"Congratulations to you on being in Dazai!"

"The Lord of the Ministry is leaving, what should I do?"

……

The subordinate officials behind him watched Gonggong Liu leave, and when they rushed to Wu Shan and congratulated Wu Shan one after another, many officials obviously added a bit of stammering.

Wu Shan is already a veteran scholar, with many protégés and bureaucrats, and now he is the official secretary in charge of a hundred officials, and his power can already compete with Xu Jie.

If you can tie up this one, then you will naturally have a bright future. At this moment, many officials secretly hate that they have no eyes, and they don't spend much time talking to this minister.

Some rejoice, but others are angry.

But for some reason, in the lobby of the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, facing a large group of officials who were scrambling to congratulate, Dong Fen suddenly burst out with an angry roar: "Get out."

Dong Fen, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Yan Ne, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was reappointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Households, and Wu Shan, the former secretary of the Ministry of Households, was reappointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. In this series of major personnel adjustments, Wu Shan became the biggest winner.

All of a sudden, Wu Shan became the secretary of the ministry, and the news exploded from the yamen of the household department like a bombshell.

No one thought that it would be Wu Shan, the most low-key household secretary, who stood out and became the new secretary of the Ming Dynasty, who was about to preside over the affairs of Jingcha.

This news also spread to the teahouse and to the elegant room of the teahouse.

"How is that possible?"

After Chen Boren heard the news, while feeling disappointed, he also turned his head to look at Lin Haoran in shock.

Whining......

When Dong Gongzi heard the news, he shouted even more frantically, as if he was protesting against this, or because of his father's grievances, or for other reasons.

Call......

Lin Haoran let out a light breath of turbidity, and his hanging heart finally let go, he didn't come here in vain to wait.

He picked up the teacup on the tea table, faced Chen Boren's gaze, looked up at Chen Boren and asked solemnly, "President Chen, do you think this official is a person who is short of money?" Is it a person who will take money from the salt tax? ”

"No, Lord Fu Yin is not short of this money, but ...... Why is the salt tax on Cantonese salt only 200,000 taels? Chen Boren also came to his senses, but he still asked in confusion.

Lin Haoran faced this question, with a wry smile on his face, raised his head and looked in the direction of Xiyuan and said leisurely: "You can only blame yourself, you put all your thoughts on excluding dissidents, but you don't really think about this country at all." ”
