The Ministry of Officials, among the six ministries of the three provinces, the Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments, and the Ministry of Officials consists of the Department of Officials, the Department of Seals, the Division of Honors, and the Department of Examination and Merit, which are in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials under the heavens, examinations, promotions, awards, transfers, etc., and it can be said that every official is in awe of the Ministry of Officials.

"Please also report that Merton has come to report to the ministry!" Outside the gate of the official department, Merton faced the room of the official department.

Of course, Merton knew how much Li Shimin valued the firearms superintendent, so the day after the appointment was issued, Merton came to the ministry to report, preparing to set up a firearms superintendent as quickly as possible.

"Mo Jiazi!" The porter's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the young man in front of him fixedly, as the official department, he was the most well-informed group of people, and naturally knew that the ministry was positioning the seventh-grade grade of the Mo family's firearms and sacrificial wine.

"Could it be that Lord Shangshu is really dissatisfied with the Mo family?" The porter's mind flickered, and the enthusiasm in his hand suddenly slowed down a little.

"Mo Hou Ye is not in a hurry, there are many affairs in the Ministry today, please allow the villain to register for Hou Ye, and please wait in line for Mo Hou Ye." The porter pointed to the right side of the gate of the ministry and said in a businesslike manner.

Morton followed the direction of the porter's hand, and saw that on the right side of the gate of the official department, there was a long queue of officials, and the line was suddenly a hundred steps away.

Morton suddenly frowned, now that the new year has begun, many officials from other places have come to the ministry to do business, if you line up according to this queue, I am afraid that it will not be his turn for three days.

"The firearms supervisor is appointed by His Majesty, and he naturally handles special affairs, if he delays His Majesty's major affairs, can you afford to be a porter of the ministry? I can line up there in Merton, as long as I insist. Merton said neither humbly nor arrogantly, these officials went to the ministry to run relations and find a way, and he came today to do business, how can he generalize.

The porter's face suddenly froze, and he remembered the mystery of the firearms supervisor, a department that he had never heard of, turned out to be directly under the jurisdiction of His Majesty, if he made a hindrance from it, I am afraid that some people in the Ministry would take him under the knife.

The officer's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly smiled: "Lord Mo said that he laughed, and the little one will go to Tongyu." ”

Merton sneered: "Forget it, how can the seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's door make an exception?" Let's go to the queue! ”

The clerk's room suddenly broke into a cold sweat, and Merton's words can be described as extremely heart-wrenching, if today's events are spread, he is afraid that he will lose his skin if he does not die.

"Master Mohou, you don't remember the villain, let the villain go! The villain will go to the court. The porter hurriedly said goodbye and ran towards the officials.

It didn't take long for a ministry official to come out laughing loudly, followed by a terrified porter.

"Di Zhixun, the head of the Ministry of Officials, has seen Mohou!" Di Zhixon saw Merton at the door with a smile on his face, the Ministry of Officials is responsible for the appointment and dismissal of court officials, and Merton came to report to the Ministry of Officials, so it is naturally under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Officials.

Di Zhixun naturally got much more information than the porter, and naturally knew how important the firearms supervisor was to Li Shimin.

"Dickinson." Merton suddenly gave Dickson a deep look.

"Why is Mo Hou looking at the bottom like this, what's wrong with being down there?" Di Zhixon was surprised.

Merton suddenly smiled mysteriously, and said haha, although Di Zhixon is only the head of the ministry at the moment, but his son is famous in the later generations, that is, the prime minister Di Renjie.

Di Zhixon naturally didn't know this, and directly led Merton into the ministry.

Seeing that Merton was personally led in by the head of the Ministry of Officials, the long line lined up outside the Ministry of Officials suddenly caused a commotion.

"But that noble kid has such a big posture?" Many officials frowned and said, they all came here early in the morning to wait, but they couldn't wait for the summons, who would have thought that a young man would be unimpeded in the officials' department.

Originally, they wanted to see the teenager's joke, but it ended up shocking them.

"This is the Mo family who is famous in Chang'an City, and it is hand-picked by the emperor, so it is natural to do special things!" The porter snorted coldly and said proudly.

The officials were silent for a moment, whether it was a Beijing official or an official from outside, the name of the Mo family was like thunder, and the news of Mo Jiazi's appointment as the seven-grade sacrificial wine had already spread throughout Chang'an City, so they naturally heard about it.

"This is the appointment document of the lower official, and I also ask Director Di to check it." Merton handed the appointment document to Dicterson, and after confirming that it was correct, he stamped the list of the officials and recorded it, and stamped it with the seal of the ministry.

"Congratulations to the Ink Sacrifice Wine." Dickinson handed the appointing instrument back to Merton and congratulated.

Merton looked at the paperwork in his hand, and then suddenly his heart suddenly realized that he had entered the officialdom.

"This is the official uniform of the seventh grade, if the Marquis Mo feels that it doesn't fit, the ink sacrifice wine can make the subordinates change it slightly." Di Zhixun waved his hand, and suddenly a small official presented a set of light green official uniforms.

Merton took the coat and put it on his body, after a year of adequate nutrition, Merton's height suddenly jumped, and it also fitted, but Merton looked at himself all green, and couldn't help but be full of black lines,

The court of the Tang Dynasty also divides the grades of officials according to their clothes, and purple is the color of the clothes of the third-grade officials; The light crimson color is the color of the five-grade official uniform, the dark green is the color of the six-grade official uniform, the light green is the color of the seven-grade official uniform, the dark cyan is the color of the eight-rank official uniform, the light cyan is the color of the nine-grade official uniform, and the yellow color is the color of the people outside the palace and the common people.

"Good thing the hat is black." Merton rejoiced in his heart.

"Xiaguan see Lord Shangshu!"

In the main hall of the Ministry of Officials, Merton wore official uniforms to meet Gao Shilian, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and according to the custom, new officials must be admonished by the Ministry of Officials.

Of course, the other officials did not directly meet Gao Shilian's treatment, but the firearms and sacrificial wine in Mocun are directly under the jurisdiction of His Majesty, and it is reasonable for Gao Shilian to come forward.

Gao Shilian pushed the reading glasses on his eyes, looked at the young Moton, and said businesslikely: "Mohou is an official for the first time, and you must know the way to be an official. ”

"Please also ask Lord Shangshu for instructions." Merton bowed.

"The way of being an official, one is to avoid corruption and bribery, the second is to be in a hurry, and the third is to ......"

Gao Shilian said very slowly, but every word was fine.

"Remember!" Merton bowed in response.

After a complete set of actions, Gao Shilian showed a smile and said: "I hope that Mohou will live up to His Majesty's trust and create a sharp weapon for Datang. ”

As a secretary of the ministry and an important minister of the imperial court, he naturally knew about the explosion of the Xuandu Temple, and the firearms supervisor was directly under the jurisdiction of His Majesty, so it can be imagined that its importance.

It can be said that in addition to the seven official ranks, Merton's status is no less than that of important ministers in the court.

"I will definitely live up to the high expectations of His Majesty and Lord Monkshang." Merton's positive color channel.

The two chatted for a few words, Gao Shilian picked up the teacup, and Merton got up and retired with interest.

When Merton was about to step out of the door, he suddenly turned around and saluted solemnly: "Thank you, Lord Shangshu." ”

Watching Merton's figure leave, Gao Shilian couldn't help but smile.

"The Mo family deserves to be the Mo family."

All the officials in the court thought that he was deliberately suppressing the Mo family, but the Mo family saw through his intentions and clearly expressed his kindness, and this insight had to make him admire.

Waving goodbye to Dicterson, Merton strode out of the office, and from now on he was officially promoted to the position of firearms priest.

It's just that today's firearms superintendent, the officials have not been decided, the funds are insufficient, and the yamen has not been built, and he is the only bare-bones commander.
