However, it was said that after the establishment of Xinmin Daily, it was under the jurisdiction of the Hanlin Academy.

However, it was said that there were Siyi Pavilion and Wenyuan Pavilion under the Hanlin Academy, but later Wenyuan Pavilion became independent and became a leading organization, and the Siyi Pavilion was assigned to the management of Taichang Temple, and the Hanlin Academy was only responsible for the nominal guidance work.

The current Xinmin Daily is fragrant buns for Hanlin Academy.

Because Hanlin was promoted only to lecture on books, the second class of history repair, the Son of Heaven said on the day, the lecturer has been unemployed and waiting for his post, as for the revision of history, the Ming Huidian, and the actual records of Mu Zong have been completed, before today's son does not die, there is nothing to do with the history museum.

But now that there is a newspaper hall, there is one more way out, and all the Hanlin people are looking at this.

Lin Yanchao is nominally the leader in charge of the newspaper, but the editor-in-chief of the newspaper is Xiao Liangyou, Sun Jigao, and the editors in charge are Fang Congzhe and Sun Chengzong.

On this day, Lin Yanchao just got up from a nap in the back room.

The autumn afternoon sun shone on the panes, and the room smelled of ink and books, as well as the smell of smoked wormwood.

It's a good house, but if there are more mosquitoes, it would be nice to smoke some wormwood.

Lin Yanchao glanced at the level of the sun, it was still early, even if it was late, it didn't hurt, so when he was taking the book to read, he saw a shadow moving under the crack in the door.

So Lin Yanchao sat up and asked, "Who is outside?" ”

The servant on duty replied: "Master, Shu Bianxiu has been waiting outside the door for a while. ”

But I heard Shu Hongzhi's voice coming from outside the door: "Enlighten the bachelor, the lower officials told me again, knowing that the bachelor was taking a nap, so he didn't dare to disturb and wait outside the door." ”

Lin Yanchao thought for a while and said, "You wait a minute, I'll change my clothes first." ”

A moment later, Shu Hongzhi cautiously entered Lin Yanchao's back room.

Lin Yanchao rubbed the corners of his inner eyes and said, "There are no chairs here, so if you have anything to say, just stand and say." ”

Tanhua was born, and at the age of nineteen, Shu Hongzhi was appointed by the Son of Heaven as Hanlin, not to mention that he has a dignified appearance, and he likes to go in and out of brocade clothes on weekdays, and is known as the romantic Tanhualang.

Shu Hongzhi is young and ambitious, and wherever he goes, others are polite and respectful to him. However, Shu Hongzhi is low-key in the officialdom and very polite, which is rare, and even if one or two members occasionally don't like him, they won't say anything about him for his father's sake.

But Shu Hongzhi was choked by Lin Yanchao's words and endured it, he knew that Ji Daotong could go to Yunnan to comfort Tusi, so he could also go out of Jiayuguan to appease the Hu people.

Shu Hongzhi said with a smile: "Where is there a place for the lower officials to sit in front of the bachelor, it is already an honor for the lower officials to be given to meet them." ”

"Say it!"

Shu Hongzhi said: "The student would like to ask the bachelor to let the student join the newspaper and make a modest contribution to the newspaper. ”

When Lin Yanchao heard this, he asked, "Oh? The newspaper office is a place of hardship, why don't you want to go to the newspaper office when you are not in the Hanlin Academy? ”

Shu Hongzhi said: "In front of the bachelor, the lower officials dare not hide it. The newspaper is a place where you can be famous, and the articles in it go up to the Son of Heaven and down to the people, as long as the articles can be brilliant, you can make a name for yourself at any time......"

Lin Yanchao took a sip of tea, glanced at him and said, "You really have a vision......

Shu Hongzhi immediately said: "Don't dare to be, as soon as the Xinmin News comes out, even if it is the Son of Heaven, Shoufu will take a look or two in his spare time." If one or two sentences are brilliant, he will be the green cloud of the lower officials in the future. In front of the bachelor, the officials told the truth and did not dare to hide anything. ”

Shu Hongzhi's words reminded Lin Yanchao of before the crossing, and some scholars published an article in internal newspapers and magazines, which was appreciated by a certain leader, and then reused.

Even if you don't have this opportunity, at least you can be familiar with the princes of the current dynasty, which lies in the future push, which will be extremely beneficial.

Lin Yanchao said: "Article? It should be the 'Huangming Times' that went to the Imperial Procuratorate, and the editorials there are comments on the major affairs of the imperial court. You've miscalculated. ”

Shu Hongzhi said: "The editorials of Huangming Daily seem to have no scope, but in fact, they are framed, and they dare not express their opinions here without authorization, so as not to contradict the upper intentions." However, this newspaper is the longest among the three major newspapers, with a total of 16 pages, and many articles are written, while the Huangming Daily and Tianli Bao have only eight pages and six pages. ”

Lin Yanchao smiled, this is true, but his original plan was that there were not many newspaper editions, where did the advertisements come from? Even if some readers don't watch the advertisement and simply take it back to wipe their butts, I still want to sell it to you.

Lin Yanchao put down the tea and asked, "But speaking of which, why did the official sell you this affection?" ”

"Father's ......"

Lin Yanchao said: "Ling Zun? Is it for me to remove the net military situation? ”

Shu Hongzhi hurriedly said: "Don't dare, the bachelor's incident back then was done by the governor at the behest of his father." My father didn't have the slightest intention of being an enemy of the bachelor. ”

"Today, the wood is done. My father said that as long as the bachelor can let the lower officials run errands in Xinmin Daily, he can help the bachelor in the Jiuqing Association and help the bachelor rank in the Ministry of Rites. ”

Lin Yanchao's eyes narrowed and asked, "Forget it, could it be that the Shu family didn't explain the matter of dismantling the pure army?" ”

Shu Hongzhi said: "Xia Guan thinks that the bachelor really doesn't have to hold on to the past and lose the opportunity in front of him. According to the shallow opinion of the lower officials, right and wrong in the officialdom are the least important, and the bachelor once again mentioned the matter of abolishing the net army, thinking that it was also a condition, if the previous condition was not enough, other things could be proposed, and the father often said to the lower officials that anything in the officialdom could be discussed. ”

Shu Hongzhi smiled when he heard this, he felt that he had taken the initiative in this negotiation.

And Lin Yanchao poured a cup of tea for Shu Hongzhi, and Shu Hongzhi hurriedly took it.

Lin Yanchao asked, "So, do you mean to be honored here?" ”

Shu Hongzhi said: "I did discuss it with my father. ”

Lin Yanchao continued to ask: "So did Ling Zun ask Zhang Whale what he meant?" ”

"This ...... Never. ”

Lin Yanchao sat up straight and said, "Then we'll talk in vain." ”

Shu Hongzhi's expression froze there: "Bachelor ......"

Lin Yanchao interrupted Shu Hongzhi's words with his eyes: "I advise you, don't do such a two-end good thing, so you can only fail at both ends." For example, if you promise me today, and he orders you to repent of it, it doesn't hurt that I was deceived, but what should you do? It's for your own good, too. ”

Lin Yanchao got up.

Shu Hongzhi was speechless for a while, and then said: "Bachelor, our Shu family does not obey the governor in everything......

Lin Yanchao has already sorted out the books.

“…… On the Governor's side, we are willing to do our best to turn around. ”

"Turnaround? Do you want to make any conditions for me? I don't have much to say about Zhang Whale! ”

Shu Hongzhi said hurriedly: "Is the bachelor too stubborn, clinging to a little grudge in the past, the matter of dismantling the pure army has long passed, and we also want to turn the war into a jade silk......"

"Turn hostility into friendship? If you don't understand what happened between me and Zhang Whale, then we have nothing to talk about, and it also means that Zhang Whale doesn't take you as a confidant. ”

"Let's put it this way, my relationship with your Shu family depends on my relationship with Zhang Whale. Zhang Whale dreamed of bringing me down, but he didn't dare! Do you understand? ”

Shu Hongzhi's face was pale, Zhang Whale was the governor of Dongchang, and he had tens of thousands of Dongchang fans and Jinyi guards under him to listen to him, but he didn't dare to deal with Lin Yanchao, wasn't it because of Shen Shixing's face?

"You really don't know anything! Then there is nothing to talk about. Go back, don't delay here, I haven't heard these words today. ”

Shu Hongzhi looked at Lin Yanchao and wanted to say something, but his lips moved but closed helplessly.

He Shu Hongzhi only saw Lin Yanchao, so he thought that Lin Yanchao only saw his father behind him, but he didn't expect Lin Yanchao to never see the Shu family.

After Shu Hongzhi left, Lin Yanchao smiled, it seems that this son has ulterior motives, but it doesn't hurt.

Having said that, in the matter of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Shu Hongzhi can indeed help.

Because the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is different from the appointment of the young Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion, and it is also different from the appointment of the prefect.

The appointment of the prefect was promoted by the ministry.

Shao Zhan was appointed by the cabinet.

said that it was a ministry push and a cabinet push, but in fact, it was just a sentence from Shen Shixing.

However, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is ranked among the courtiers, which is a positive third grade, and must be pushed by the Jiuqing Society.

The so-called Jiuqing will push is the six books, the left capital of the imperial history, the Dali Temple, the political envoy Jiuqing, plus three cabinet scholars, a total of twelve people publicly.

If there is a vacancy in the official position, there will be at least two people, and if there are two vacancies, there will be at least three people, and the names of the candidates will be left after the public promotion and submitted to the circle of heaven.

When Jiuqing became vacant, it was publicly recommended by officials above the third grade in Beijing.

The vacancies of cabinet scholars and officials of the Ministry of Rites are publicly recommended by officials of the fifth grade or above in Beijing.

This was the Ming Dynasty's Huitui system, because the Son of Heaven rarely promoted officials. This is different from the Qing Dynasty, where the appointment of court ministers is still decided by the emperor.

And if the officials of the Ming Dynasty elected the emperor or not, it was also not the turn of the first assistant to say it.

Public push is a restriction on the power of the prime minister, of course, look at people this way, when Zhang Juzheng was in power, public push was also an ornament, but now?

Shen Shixing has no way to push Jiuqing into what he says, if there is really this day, the Son of Heaven will not be able to tolerate Shen Shixing.

So it's time for Lin Yanchao to count the votes.

Among the current Jiuqing, Shen Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Song Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Yan Qing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Shu Yinglong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Sun Piyang, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Zhang Mengnan, the envoy of the general government, are either neutral or not on the side of Shen Shixing.

Will they vote for themselves when Jiuqing will push?

At the end of the fifteenth year of Wanli, Wang Hongzhi, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, was appointed as Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu and was in charge of the affairs of the government.

And Yu Shenxing, the former right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, was appointed as the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

The position of the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites is vacant.

And at this time, the officials who had been secretly gathering momentum for a long time finally showed their hole cards.

A sedan chair stopped at Zhang Whale's mansion.

This person is Shu Yinglong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Shu Yinglong, like his son, is young and first, and although he is currently a second-class member, he is in his prime.

Shu Yinglong's defection to Zhang Whale seems quite shameful, but this is a very normal thing, officials cannot be without backers in the DPRK, and Zhang Xueyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was still commensurate with Zhang Whale's brothers.

However, when Zhang Whale was not yet on the throne, Shu Yinglong was promoted all the way, in addition to serving as the in-laws of the Ministry of Officials, more importantly, he relied on his outstanding political achievements, and he was also a very good minister.

But now that he is in this position, it is not a matter of reason, and he still has to be sent by others.

After the ceremony, the subordinates of Zhang Whale Mansion said to Shu Yinglong: "Shu Shangshu, please in the living room!" ”

Hearing that Zhang Whale didn't come out to greet him, Shu Yinglong felt uncomfortable in his heart.

But he was not overjoyed, he just nodded, stroked his beard and walked into the house.

In the living room, Zhang Whale sat on a high chair and drank tea by himself, Shu Yinglong bowed when he saw it: "Shu Yinglong greets the governor!" ”

Zhang Whale knew that Shu Yinglong had entered, and deliberately pretended not to see it, and when he saw the other party visiting, he immediately got up and said with a smile: "Rude, rude, how dare Brother Lao Shu make such a big gift, come, sit here." ”

Zhang Whale was fluttering with incense powder, but Shu Yinglong didn't feel sorry at all, and after being humble for a while, he sat down next to Zhang Whale.

After greeting for a while, Shu Yinglong said his thoughts.

Zhang Whale said: "This time there is a vacancy in the Ministry of Rites, and Brother Shu intends to run for Jiang Taichang?" ”

Shu Yinglong was about to get up and go back, Zhang Whale smiled and said, "Sit down and talk, sit down and talk." ”

Shu Yinglong sat down again and said: "Shu was an official all the way, thanks to the support of his in-laws, his in-laws impeached and resigned for his words, Shu has always been indignant for him, and now the times have changed, and the court is on the occasion of employing people, Shu is willing to ask his father-in-law for him, and bring one or two, so we Shu and Jiang are grateful." ”

Zhang Whale smiled when he heard this: "It's not easy, how many people are staring at this servant of the Ministry of Rites, you have to run for your in-laws......"

Shu Yinglong said: "My father-in-law has helped our Shu family many times, Shu is grateful, if we can help this time again, our Shu and Jiang families will have a heavy gift." ”

After speaking, Shu Yinglong picked up a list.

Zhang Whale's eyes narrowed, but when he saw it, the first line was written '20,000 taels of silver'.

Zhang Whale was overjoyed when he saw this, but his face was silent.

Shu Yinglong added another sentence: "Father-in-law, I sent a dog to test Lin Sanyuan before, and I heard that he also intends to compete for the position of this waiter in the Ministry of Rites, this person is a big trouble for his father-in-law, and he can't be cheapened no matter what." ”

"If my father-in-law can help us this time, there will be a generous gift afterwards."

Hearing this, Zhang Whale finally said: "Okay, our family is reluctant to make it difficult, give it a try, don't expect too much." ”

Shu Yinglong was overjoyed and said: "Can't we still trust our father-in-law?" ”

After Shu Yinglong left, Zhang Whale thought for a while and said, "Call Zhang Shen." ”

Zhang Shen entered the interior and said flatteringly to Zhang Whale: "Godfather, I don't know what the so-called thing is that Shu Da Nose came to?" ”

Zhang Whale said: "It's not that he is not a waiter for his in-laws." ”

Zhang Shen said with a smile when he heard this: "It's that Jiang Quanlang, when people asked him for officials, the Jiang Quanlang who married someone else's daughter, how much money did his godfather drive?" ”

"Not much, 20,000 taels of silver!"

Zhang Shen was surprised: "When is the waiter of the Ministry of Rites worth 20,000 taels?" Godfather, this money is not earned in vain, and it is not a matter of you saying hello to Shen Xiang. ”

Zhang Whale said: "How do you know that there is no one in Shenwu County who wants to protect?" ”

Zhang Shen asked, "Then godfather, did you call me here because of this?" ”

Zhang Whale nodded.
