The eleventh year of Da Zheng Fengle is coming in the snow, for the court, this year is a rare and peaceful year, the border is fine, the state and county are less disasters, and the people are safe.

Tian Shoulou, Fan Shiben and others returned to Beijing one after another a year ago, and under the double coercion of the Son of Heaven and Tongkuang, the results of the Qing war were unsatisfactory, and 27 prefectures newly cleared 1.07 million hectares of land, and recovered nearly 3 million taels of arrears of silver. Da Zheng Yuanzheng (New Year) gave a leave of nine days, and the four imperial court officials sealed the first four days of Yuanzheng, so the rewards and punishments were placed after the year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Anyi and Fan Shiben took their families to pay New Year's greetings to Yu Zhijie. Yufu is much more lively than in previous years, there are two more sons-in-law and students, and Fan Shiben's family is brought up, and two tables of banquets are set up, and everyone is drinking and chatting lively.

Zhang Zhicheng, who was originally scheduled to get married before the year, postponed the marriage because of the year-end affairs of the household department, which made Yu Zhijie apologize to his daughter and son-in-law, after all, the son-in-law postponed the marriage to help him. At the end of the year, Yu Zhiren sent him 12,000 taels of silver tickets, and the business of burning knives was supported by Yu Zhijie's brand of household books, which was tacitly known to everyone.

The Yu family is worried about finding a suitable house, Yu Qinghuan's daughter-in-law is pregnant, and the family is about to add Ding in June, Yu Qingle is marrying Zhang Yuzhu, and the family house is a little nervous. Yu Zhijie intends to find a three-entry house, and will live in this set to his son-in-law Zhang Zhicheng, for this son-in-law, Yu Zhijie is indeed extremely satisfied.

For Jiang Anyi, Yu Zhijie didn't know what to say, the growth of this disciple was beyond his imagination, and some things could even be described as miracles. As the division commander, Yu Zhijie felt that it was still necessary to remind Jiang Anyi a few words, and said: "Anyi, now that you are in the emperor's heart and have the trust of the prince, you must be more and more cautious. The experience of being a teacher for decades is nothing more than four words, loyalty, integrity, diligence and forbearance. As an official, the first point is to be loyal, loyal to the Son of Heaven and loyal to the court, which is the foundation of the foothold......"

Dong'er was very envious of Yu Qinghuan's daughter-in-law's big belly, and hooked up with Jiang Anyi with big flickering eyes on the way back.

In the second year of junior high school, Tian Shoulou brought his family to pay New Year's greetings to Jiang Anyi, and after a few months of wind and rain outside, the pale Tian Shuling was darker, his face was ruddy, and he looked a little more radiant, but the eyes that were rolling from time to time did not change.

This time, Tian Shoulou was evaluated in the performance appraisal of the Ministry of Officials as "on the top", he heard that he could be promoted to at least one grade, and he could be promoted from the history of the book order to the history of the order, that is, he was a petty official from the ninth grade.

Jiang Anyi really asked Tian Shoulou about this matter at Master Yu's house yesterday, after all, this is the first lackey under his door, no matter how he says it, he should care about it. Jiang Anyi said with a smile: "Tian Shuling is about to change positions for many years, I heard Master Yu say that there are only ten people in the 'top' performance appraisal, and the Son of Heaven intends to be promoted to two levels to set an example for the small officials in the world, so Tian Shuling is very likely to become the head of Tian." ”

There are a total of eight directors in the Ministry of Rites, all of whom are minor officials from the ninth grade, and it just so happens that there is a shortage of directors in the Catering Department, if it is usual, most of such positions will be occupied by the children of big officials, and this time Tian Shoulou took advantage of the spring breeze of the Qing War, and Yu Zhijie and Jiang Anyi supported him in the back, so it is very likely to win the lack of the director of the Catering Department.

Tian Shoulou was ecstatic at first, and thanked Jiang Anyi repeatedly. Sit back in the chair and smirk for a long time, then burst into tears.

Jiang Anyi also felt uncomfortable, and scolded with a smile: "Lao Tian, a big happy event, it's the New Year again, what are you crying about, don't leave later, drink two glasses with me, it's considered to be happy for you." Tian Shoulou got up again and thanked him solemnly.

On the fifth day of the first month, the Great Dynasty.

Tian Shoulou's name appeared in the list of rewards, and he became the head of the food department of the Ministry of Rites as he wished; Fan Shiben's official rank was also upgraded by one level, from Xuande Lang under the seventh rank to the court invitation lang under the seventh grade; The most striking thing is that Wei Huaichao in the imperial history has been promoted again, and the official on the fifth rank has not moved, but the loose official has been promoted to the Taizhong doctor from the fourth rank. Another imperial historian, Li Mingyi, was stunned, and it seemed that this secret battle ended in failure.

In the next few days, the documents of the political hall were frequent, and a series of officials were promoted, left, transferred, and demoted, because of the effective Qing war, and Kong Kun was promoted to Sinong Siqing, Weizhou Thorn History (Zhongzhou) Lu Liangzhen took over, Dezhou Thorn Shi (Xiazhou) Feng Shaojun took over, the former Sinong Siqing Li Mingxing was transferred to Taifu Siqing, the former Taifu Siqing was transferred to the scattered official Jin Ziguanglu Doctor, Qianzhou Thorn Shi Leng Ming was demoted to Duan Governor Shi, and Huangzhou Thorn Shi Peng Yuyun was dismissed......

When Li Mingxing came out of the prime minister's mansion, it was already completely dark, and with the help of the servants, he stepped into the car with difficulty, and looked back at the pair of red lanterns in front of the mansion, which became hazy in the wind and snow. Li Mingxing sighed silently, the curtain of the carriage fell, and the carriage started slowly.

The conversation with Wei Xiang made Li Mingxing very disappointed, and the Wei family had completely stood on the side of the Son of Heaven. Could it be that the Son of Heaven married the princess to the grandson of Wei Xiang, so that this shrewd old man lost his ability to judge, didn't he know that the Son of Heaven had already raised his knife and was about to make a move to the family?

The Li family has the highest official rank, from the three products, this time from Sinong Siqing to Taifu Siqing seems to be a flat adjustment, but in fact, it is a secret descendation, Si Nong Temple "is in charge of the state of the state of the warehouse committee of the government decree, the general forest, Taicang, hook shield, the four departments of the guide and the officials of the prisons", can be described as a high authority, and then look at the Taifu Temple in addition to the temple Qing is also from the three products, is to manage the horse for the Son of Heaven.

It seems that it is because Mingyi's impeachment of the Qing War completely angered the Son of Heaven, Mingyi wants to compete with Wei Chaohuai for the position of the imperial historian It seems that it is no fun, although the Son of Heaven said that he will not punish Mingyi, but this kind of soft knife cutting meat is more painful, and he saw that Mingyi lost a lot of weight during the New Year, and it seems that he is going to find an opportunity to let Mingyi go to the state capital to become a magistrate.

In this way, the power of the Li family in Beijing is too thin, among the ten families, the foundation of the Li family in the capital is the weakest, Li Mingxing's brows are tightly locked, if he is allowed to be ruled by the Son of Heaven, the Li family will probably disappear from the top ten families in ten years.

Li Mingxing stomped his leg violently, and the groom thought he was going to stop, so he hurriedly pulled the horse. Li Mingxing came to his senses and let the coachman move on, he had already made up his mind that even if it was a big injury, he would pull a few alliances to keep the Li family's family status.

Wei Yishen stood in front of the East Academy and watched Li Mingxing leave in disappointment, he knew that an irreparable estrangement had formed between the Wei family and the Li family. Walking slowly in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, the snow on the road was swept clean, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves reflected the white snow on the roof, emitting a faint yellow reflection, revealing a bit of warmth.

It's not that he doesn't want to pull the Li family, Li Mingxing didn't see the determination of the Son of Heaven to deal with the family, if he stood up to speak for the Li family, not only would he lose the trust of the Son of Heaven, but it would not help, the Son of Heaven originally intended to replace himself and replace him with a new prime minister, I am afraid it will be even more detrimental to the family.

I originally intended to do it slowly, but the success of this battle made the Son of Heaven more confident, and he became more urgent to do things. The copper kuang, which was originally promised to be withdrawn after the end of the Qing war, now has no intention of removing it at all. It is necessary to communicate with the six departments and nine qing, and strive to let the Son of Heaven repeat the preface in the great court, and smoothly remove the copper kuang, this thing is a knife on the head of the scholar.

Wei Huaichao is a villain, originally thought that he acted with utilitarianism but was quite upright, but now it seems that this kid can do anything for fame, if he is allowed to take charge of the Yushitai smoothly, I am afraid that there will be a bunch of cool officials in the Yushitai, and it will be difficult to hear other voices in the court at that time, if the Son of Heaven is used to calling Bainuo, it will be a real disaster.

After a gust of wind, Wei Yishen felt a little dizzy, he was getting older, his energy was not as good as before, and the most important thing now was not to help the Li family, but to consider the spokesperson of the family in the court. Now he is the prime minister in the court, Lu Jialin is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Wu Huaren, the secretary of the criminal department, is the son-in-law of the Cui family, Huang Sheng, the secretary of the Dali Temple, Wang Zhijie, the supervisor of the Shaofu, Li Mingxing, the secretary of the Taifu Temple, and Zhou Huachang, the secretary of the Taichang Temple, is the son-in-law of the Lin family, and one-third of the twenty-seven states are controlled by the family, and the power can be described as strong.

But the combination is thick, the division is thin, the Li family above the court has been weak, the Liu family and the Liu family are temporarily stung, the Shi family is the royal family, the Wang family is the descendant, the Wei family, the Lin family and the Son of Heaven stand aside, the Cui family, the Lu family, and the Huang family have unclear attitudes, and this battle is afraid that it will be difficult to distinguish for a while. Once he leaves office or grows old, the position of prime minister is in the hands of the Son of Heaven, and the family is really in danger.

There are only a handful of people in the family who can take over the position of prime minister, and Lu Jialin is superficial, exaggerated, and unrealistic; Wu Huaren is also old, and he is only the son-in-law of a family, so he may not be reliable; Huang Sheng is rigid and difficult to get along with; Wang Zhijie is a descendant, and it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to let him be the prime minister; Li Mingxing, thinking of Li Mingxing, Wei Yishen shook his head, today's performance shows that this person is shallow, only staring at a big place in front of him, and he is overwhelmed.

The current six Shangshu Shangshu Pan Linfeng and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Guo Congshi are not a few years younger than themselves, and they will not be chosen by the Son of Heaven with the temper of the Son of Heaven, and the Chongwen Pavilion bachelors selected by the Son of Heaven this time are still shallow in seniority, and the grades are still different, and most of the straight bachelors are prepared for the prince. The DPRK is expected to succeed itself instead of the family members of the new Sinong Temple Secretary Kong Kun, the political affairs hall Zhongshulang (from the third product) Ma Suizhen, the secretary Zuo Jian Kong Province, the household department Shangshu Yu Zhijie and several other people, as well as several assassins in Shangzhou.

Wei Yishen's brows furrowed deeply, it seems that the position of prime minister is likely to fall into the hands of non-family members, and only a few children of the family can be selected from the state capital, Chuzhou Thorn Shi Liu Zhixing, Pingzhou Thorn Shi Cui Wenhu, Houzhou Thorn Shi Huang Ping, Weizhou Thorn Shi Liu Zongqin are all heroes in the family, these people have seen it themselves, and their performance in the position of the state capital is "Shangzhong". I insisted on it for another three or five years, and found a way to transfer one or two of them to the Beijing Division, and serve as the secretary and supervisor of the third grade in the political affairs hall, or take over the position of the six departments and nine secretaries, even if the prime minister is not a child of the family, he can be worry-free at that time. Alas, if God can give him another fifteen years of life, and Youcheng can easily take over, that is the happiness of the world.

The wind was strong in the evening, and I had a terrible headache. Wei Yishen stood under the eaves, looking at the dark sky in the distance, maybe it would be another heavy snow tonight.
