What does it mean that the Son of Heaven personally summoned the conferred officer?

Shu Yinglong knows very well that when today's son has been dissatisfied with the system of court pushing, for the officials who are pushed up, he often chooses not to push the positive, but to accompany the push.

And this time, the Son of Heaven, the other officials of Tingtui were gone, and seeing Lin Yanchao meant that the Son of Heaven supported Lin Yanchao.

Jiuqing will push the right waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Lin Yanchao is listed as a positive push, the Son of Heaven is not only circled but also personally summoned after the official award, it can be seen that the Son of Heaven to Jiuqing is supporting Lin Yanchao's promotion to the waiter this time, which is quite a deep background.

In this regard, Shu Yinglong's face was extremely unsightly, but at this moment, he could only force a smile: "Uncle Shaozong is actually ...... There is such a grace, and the ...... is lost Disrespectful. ”

Lin Yanchao said modestly: "I don't dare to take it seriously!" ”

At that moment, the two of them crossed by each other.

Lin Yanchao walked out of the left gate of Chang'an, and outside the palace gate was Chang'an Street.

Chang'an Street is very prosperous, south of the left gate of Chang'an is the Hanlin Academy, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites and other yamen, here is the place where officials go in and out the most.

Lin Yanchao suddenly heard someone shouting loudly at the newsstand: "The new Huangming Times, Shandong Dao Yushi Lin Zhi Shang Shu asked to change the former first assistant Zhang Wenzhong to Wenrong!" ”

When Lin Yanchao heard this, he said to Chen Jichuan: "Buy a copy of Huangming Daily, and I'll read it in my car." ”

After speaking, Lin Yanchao got into the carriage, and after Chen Jichuan bought the newspaper, he handed it in from the curtain of the car.

Then Zhanming drove back to his house, while Lin Yanchao sat in the bumpy carriage and spread out the Huangming Times, but saw that this official was attacking Zhang Xuan like this.

He accused Zhang Xuan of being a traitor in the court, an official who was not titled, and it was not appropriate to pretend to be a superior, and he wanted to change his nickname to a subordinate one.

You must know that the word 'Wen' is a word for civil officials, and it cannot be given lightly if you are not a minister.

As for Rong, he is very proud of Favored Luguang, and the implication is that he relies on people to get to the top.

The chapter also showed corroboration that Wang Hong, the secretary of the ministry at the time of Sejong, relied on Zhang Xuan to serve as the official of the ministry, and finally got the nickname Ronghe.

As for demoting Zhang Xuan to Wenrong, it is already very face-saving for him.

An editorial is attached to the recital.

The editorial represents the opinion of the emperor at the time of the Ming Dynasty, that is, to criticize Zhang Xuan, and seeing this, Lin Yanchao rolled up the newspaper.

As soon as he mentioned Zhang Xuan, someone attacked him so quickly, although this was not unexpected by him, but it really came a little quickly.

Is this a warning to yourself in your new role?

Thinking of this, Lin Yanchao picked up the car curtain, but saw that Chang'an Street was still full of traffic and horses, and it was very prosperous, and the snow in the capital was getting heavier and heavier, and the road ahead became a little confusing

The next day, the government arrived at the post, and it took a lot of effort.

The court uniforms, the official uniforms have been appointed since the appointment, and the Lin Mansion is also in a hurry to customize it.

Now the scholars and officials of the entire Ming Dynasty have long lost the frugal habits of the founding of the country, and the court is full of extravagance and enjoyment. Zhang Juzheng took the lead when he was the first assistant, and every day he must be easy to wear, and his clothes will be delicious and dazzling.

Of course, from the point of view of the people of the time, Zhang Juzheng was already very handsome.

However, in Lin Yanchao's view, Zhang Juzheng is Zhang Juzheng, in terms of taking the world as his own responsibility, it is good to learn from him, and there is no need for stinky beauty. In case it falls in love with a princess, it's also a troublesome thing.

Lin Yanchao's official clothes, the court clothes were only made of two sets each, and even so, more than a dozen taels of silver had been used.

Even if Lin Yanchao ranks among the top three products, this expenditure is not small.

He just wrote that the monthly salary was eight stones, but on the bright face of the eight stones of the month, he actually got one stone of rice, two taels of silver, and cloth and silk, and the rest was four taels of firewood, soap and silver, and the silver of the straight hall.

Later, when he was released to Germany, the magistrate had envy of the surplus money, and he couldn't look down on it.

Now he is the third product queen, and the monthly salary is thirty-five stone Lu rice.

In fact, it was 12 stones, 15 taels of silver, and 2,760 pieces of treasure money.

Here Lin Yanchao wants to vomit badly, a whip law has been implemented for a while, and the people have paid the silver uniformly, why are the officials still distributing it together in their true colors?

And this treasure banknote, is it used to wipe the buttocks?

Of course, the biggest advantage of officials is that they are exempt from military service and exempt from taxes.

The third-rank official can be exempted from 20 ding, that is, 20 adult men are exempted from military service, and 20 stone of tax and grain are exempted.

In the fourteenth year of Wanli, it was also last year, when taxes and grain were exempted, and it was further changed to exemption from land tax, and even the amount was greatly increased.

Zhengsanpin Jingguan can be exempted from 670 acres of land rent.

If Shen Shixing is such a genuine product, it can be exempted from 1,000 acres.

Shen Shixing's move at that time, like acquiescing in the exemption of officials from land endowment, ensured the results of Zhang Juzheng's strict implementation of the Qingzhang land and acres, and also alleviated the opposition of the official gentry class.

The court thought, anyway, the gentry also avoid taxes through various means, rather than not being able to collect the money, it is better to give it to you.

That's right, after this move, the pressure of the imperial court dissipated, but it caused the civil gentry to merge with the land more fearlessly!

In addition to exemption from taxation and exemption, it is soap silver, which is paid by the military department, if the official is unwilling to use the soap, the military department will also pay it, and a soldier is one or two service money a month.

Zhengsanpin officials can use ten soap subordinates, ten people are ten taels.

So right now, Lin Yanchao has 12 stones, 25 taels of silver, a few pieces of silk cloth, and negligible treasure money.

Ordering two sets of official uniforms, even according to the current official position of the third grade, even casually.

Therefore, the Ming officials rely on the right to live, and it is okay to raise one person, but if you want to raise a large family, you can only be like Hai Rui, and eating two taels of meat will be on the headlines of the Huangming Times.

The next day, a snowstorm fell on East Chang'an Street.

At this time, it was just dawn.

The Rangers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division were patrolling the streets.

It was so cold that it almost froze off people's fingers, and the patrol was shivering with cold, and they warmed their hands against the wall, drank a few sips of wine, and then warmed themselves up a little, and then went back to the street.

At this moment, they saw a big sedan chair coming from a distance, and the so-called sedan chair was a sedan chair carried by eight people.

The inspectors took refuge on the side of the road, and a few people asked, "Which adult's eight-seater sedan chair is this?" ”

"I don't know, I didn't play the official title card."

"Who knows? I heard that now those inner supervisors under Zhang Whale in the palace dare to take an eight-seater sedan chair and run rampant in Beijing, maybe which one is in the sedan chair? ”

The inspector showed a touch of disdain in his eyes, and at this time, the sedan curtain was lifted, and the people in the sedan chair saw it.

The inspector said in his heart, it is not good for him to speak and be heard.

The person in the sedan chair, who was no more than 30 years old, wore a black veil on his head and had two beards, glanced indifferently at the officer and soldier, and then lowered the curtain again.

Suddenly, the patrolmen on the side were frightened and hurriedly knelt beside the road.

But fortunately, the people in the sedan chair did not bother with him, but turned directly to the alley in front of Chang'an Avenue.

As soon as the sedan chair left, the patrolman who had just lost his words let out a sigh, but suddenly his head was dizzy, and he fell to the ground, which turned out to be a fist from the leader on the top of his head.

"You are not long-sighted, have you ever seen any inner prisoner who dared to go to the yamen in a sedan chair? Even if you hurt yourself, do you want to kill all of our brothers? You can't make a thing, I'll take you back and let your father beat you to death. ”

"Don't! Uncle Mo, I know it's wrong, I know it's wrong. ”

The patrolman was scolded severely, and it was only then that the matter was resolved.

But it was said that the eight-seater sedan chair went south through the alley, and when it was almost on Chongwenmenli Street, the sedan chair stopped.

A man in his thirties who looked like a housekeeper said by the sedan chair: "Master, I have arrived at the yamen of the Ministry of Rites." ”

In the sedan chair was Lin Yanchao, a new official, and he stepped down from the sedan chair and looked to the west, where the yamen of the Ministry of Rites was located.

To the north of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites is the Yamen of the Ministry of Households, and to the east is the Qin Tianjian and the Tai Hospital.

When Lin Yanchao got off the sedan chair, an entourage covered the brown cover, just to block the wind and snow.

Officials above the fourth rank of the dynasty used a brown cover, that is, a black brown Luo as a table, a large umbrella cover lined with red silk, and then a yellow and green silk in turn.

Under the brown cover, Lin Yanchao looked at the quiet Yamen of the Ministry of Rites in the snow.

Several people at the entrance of the Ministry of Rites saw that the eight-seater sedan chair had immediately greeted them, and asked, "But is it the newly arrived minister?" ”

Lin Yanchao looked at the snow scene and didn't speak, Chen Jichuan said lightly: "Yes, you won't report yet." ”

Several disciples said in their hearts, if the new hall official arrived, they couldn't help but glance at Lin Yanchao, the other party was wearing a scarlet official uniform, and the official uniform was embroidered with a peacock complement and thought to themselves, if the newly arrived ministry lord was as young as rumored.

Several disciples didn't dare to slack off, and one of them rushed in to make a report.

Later, the officials of the Lang Department wearing green robes went out to greet ......

On the occasion of his arrival, there was a ritual of his own, and after the incense and worship, the officials went to the main hall to take their seats.

Shen Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, sat facing south, Yu Shenxing, the left waiter, sat in the east, and Lin Yanchao, the right waiter, sat in the west.

It is the official seat, and everyone does not work in the same place on weekdays, and the Ministry of Rites has three halls, four divisions, and a secretary hall.

Shangshu sits in the main hall, and the main hall of the official office must sit in the north and faces south, and the squire sits in the east and west two halls.

Because the three officials sit separately, this is also the origin of the title of the lord of the department.

As for the four divisions of the Ministry of Rites, they are the Department of Ceremonies and Officials, which are in charge of the Jiali Ceremony, the Military Ceremony, and the management of academic affairs and imperial examination affairs.

The ancestral sacrifice is clear, and the affairs of auspicious rites and fierce rites are in charge.

The host and guest officials are in charge of the guest ceremony and the reception of foreign guests.

The fine food and cleaning officials are in charge of the affairs of the feast and the sacrifice.

Among the four divisions, of course, the ritual system is the first and most noble, which is just like the Ministry of Officials.

The management of the Ministry of Officials and Rites is quite simple, but there are four divisions, such as the Ministry of Households, and more than a dozen departments under the Criminal Department, so the officials are much more complicated, and the relationship is also very complicated.

After Lin Yanchao arrived, all the officials, deputy officials, and subordinate officials all came to pay homage.

Many of them are old acquaintances, such as the first in the second class of Jinshi in the eighth year of Wanli, Dong Sicheng in the same year of Lin Yanchao, and the current host and guest Shilang.

There is also Gao Gui, a Jinshi in the fifth year of Wanli, who also has dealings with Lin Yanchao, and is currently the priest of the ancestral hall.

Yu Kong Jian is also a Jinshi in the eighth year of Wanli, his nephew Yu Yuli is a member of the Lin Party, and his younger brother Yu Shilian is now a protégé of Lin Yanchao.

There is another thing, that is, Yu Kongjian's eldest daughter married Jiang Shichang, the current household member Wailang Jiang Shichang in the same year.

Despite having so many relationships, Lin Yanchao has a mediocre relationship with Yu Kongjian, and he is very close to Gu Xiancheng on weekdays.

Finally, there is Wang Keshou in the ritual Shilang, who is also a Jinshi in the eighth year of Wanli, who succeeded Guo Zhengyu's errand, and is now also in charge of Tianli Bao.

And now that Lin Yanchao is facing them, he has the feeling that his old classmates have become his subordinates, and his mood is also full of complicated feelings.
