Gu Kexue preliminarily passed Yang Cong's examination, and the next thing is to arrange an official position for him, but the officials are in the hands of Yan Song, why is Yang Cong sure that he will arrange an official position for Gu Kexue?

This has something to do with the process of appointment and removal of officials in the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Officials is in the hands of Yan Song, yes, but not all officials in the world are appointed and dismissed by the Ministry of Officials, if this is the case, wouldn't the Ministry of Officials be about the same as the emperor's power.

This is naturally impossible, how can the emperor let the officials have such great powers.

In fact, the Ministry of Officials can also appoint and dismiss ordinary officials, Beijing officials, the appointment and dismissal of officials above the fifth grade will not be under the control of the Ministry of Officials, and the appointment and dismissal of local officials will not be under the Ministry of Officials if they are above the third grade.

The Beijing officials above the fifth rank and the local officials above the third rank can already be regarded as members of the imperial court, and the authority in their hands is not small, and it is naturally impossible for the emperor to let the officials appoint and dismiss them.

Generally, the appointment and dismissal of officials at this level are led by the emperor himself, and the officials have the right to recommend at most, and the officials at this level are not only the officials have the right to recommend, such as the six books, the cabinet scholars and other important ministers of the court have the right to recommend, and in the end, who is on and who is not on is not up to the ministry of officials, when the emperor will generally widely solicit the opinions of the courtiers, and then make a decision.

Gu Kexue has this qualification, there must be no problem to serve as an official of the fourth grade, the problem is that this is the fourth grade is a Beijing official or a magistrate, if it is a magistrate, Yang Cong has nothing to do, because the local officials of the fourth grade are basically under the management of the ministry, and he has no chance to interfere if he wants to, but it is a Beijing official, and when he reaches the fifth grade, he has the opportunity to intervene.

For this reason, he specially wrote a secret letter, asking Zhang Bangqi to pay attention to it, to see if there are any vacancies in the capital, and if there are any, he will help recommend Gu Kexue.

I don't know if Gu Kexue's luck is good or bad, his letter has just arrived in the capital not long ago, and there is really a vacancy in an official of about the fourth grade, and the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry Lang Moumou left his post due to illness, and this position was vacant.

However, the right waiter of the Ministry of Industry is a Beijing official of the third grade, and it seems a little difficult for Gu Kexue to be recommended by the local officials of the fourth grade, Zhang Bangqi also has a headache for this, and he also wrote a letter to ask Yang Cong if he wants to recommend Gu Kexue to compete for this position.

Unexpectedly, Yang Cong's side has not yet made a decision, but someone in the capital has already made a move.

Yan Song actually recommended his godson, that is, Zhao Wenhua, the right general political envoy, to serve as the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry.

This guy is too much, Zhao Wenhua has only been a jinshi in Jiajing for eight years, and he has only been an official for more than ten years, what virtue does he have, and he is worthy of such promotion?

So, before Zhang Bangqi got Yang Cong's reply, he hurriedly played and recommended Gu Kexue and Zhao Wenhua to compete for the position of the right waiter of the Ministry of Industry.

Who is Gu Kexue?

Jiajing doesn't know, Yan Song can know, because Yan Song is also a Jinshi in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, they are in the same department, and they are both ranked second, and they have even drunk wine at the same table, can he not know Gu Kexue?

It stands to reason that there is a bit of incense between the same subject, even if Yan Song doesn't mention Gu Kexue, he shouldn't suppress Gu Kexue.

This is the case in history, Gu Kexue is the way of Yan Song, so as to make a comeback, the official to the Ministry of Industry, the prince Taibao.

However, at this time, Gu Kexue took Yang Cong's path because of his younger brother Gu Kejiu, which was equivalent to standing on the opposite side of Yan Song.

What are you kidding, you want to be the secretary of the Ministry of Industry when you come out of a left senator who has been dismissed for more than 20 years, dreaming!

Yan Song knew that the Gu family of Nanzhili had already taken refuge in Yang Cong, after all, he had a lot of power in Nanzhili, and a family of officials and gentry like the Gu family was also a talking point in the officialdom from time to time, so the Gu family had just started to help Yang Cong take care of Nan Zhili's business, and the news had already reached Yan Song's ears.

Your guy took refuge in Yang Cong and still want to compete for the position of the right waiter of the Ministry of Works?

Even if Yan Song mobilized his henchmen, looked at the old bottom that could be learned, and slandered how unbearable others were in office, so that he was dismissed from office and cut off his status, it has been more than 20 years since he became a servant, and it is ridiculous to hold such an important position as the right attendant of the Ministry of Works.

Jiajing also seemed to see some signs coming, and these two guys were fighting again, but Gu Kexue's qualifications really made him not interested, and a Zhengde Dynasty who had already made a political envoy to the left senator of the Ministry of Industry was appointed as the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit unreliable.

As a result, Jiajing made a decision, and Zhao Wenhua, the former general political envoy, served as the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry.

This matter seems to be over like this, but Yan Song's next actions angered the big man of Yangming's lineage, because Yan Song actually nominated his fellow countryman, Hu Rulin, the prefect of Taiping Mansion, to take over Zhao Wenhua's position as the envoy to the right of the general government.

Do you think this court is run by your family?

You want to occupy any important official position, if you are a strict dog thief and wagging your tail in front of the emperor, you can be lawless!

So, the two sides fought again, and Yang Ming simply recommended Gu Kexue to serve as the envoy of the general government, and clearly sang against Yan Song and his party.

This time the two sides fought more fiercely, and in the early dynasty, Zhang Bangqi even almost quarreled with Yan Song because of this matter.

Is there any mistake, when I was fighting for the right waiter of the Ministry of Labor, I didn't see the two sides making such a fierce fuss!

As soon as Jiajing saw this sign, he knew that something was wrong, Yan Song had just promoted his godson Zhao Wenhua to the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, and promoted his own township party Hu Rulin to take over Zhao Wenhua's position.

Although he likes to provoke the fight of the courtiers below, he does not want the two sides to be tense because of this, so that the entire court will not be at peace.

This matter is obviously Yan Song is a bit excessive, and he can't let him take advantage of everything, in this way, the Yangming Yimai is really going to make a fuss, in order to appease the Yangming Yimai, Jiajing simply made a decision, and Gu Kexue was appointed as the general political envoy.

In this way, by mistake, Gu Kexue took over Zhao Wenhua's position and became the right general government envoy.

At this time, Gu Kexue's ability was revealed, if you want to say that Gu Kexue had any ability before, and he could be promoted so quickly, few people really know it at this time, but the ability that Gu Kexue showed at this time really scared all the courtiers.

This guy actually followed Yan Song's example, vigorously touted the way of immortality, and agreed with Jiajing's cultivation of the art of immortality, and he also had a skill, that is, refining the "elixir of immortality"!

Of course, what he was refining was not really an elixir of immortality, he had just learned some elixirs to prolong life.

However, this thing did have some effect after eating, after Jiajing ate it, Long Yan was happy, and Gu Kexue was also favored by it.

As a result, every afternoon, there are often two door gods in front of the imperial study of the palace, one is Yan Song, a cabinet university scholar, and the other is a general political envoy Si Youtong Zheng Gu Kexue.

When Jiajing had not yet arrived, the two were blowing their beards and glaring, and they faced each other with evil faces, and they almost quarreled, and as soon as Jiajing arrived, the two of them changed their smiling faces again, and they did their best to stammer, and Jiajing was overjoyed.

When Yang Cong received the news, he couldn't help crying and laughing, Gu Kexue is really speechless!
