In the Yangzhou Mansion, Yang Jian, the eunuch who passed the decree, handed over the holy decree to Cai Jing, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the Prime Minister, this time he was edicted by His Majesty to return to Bianliang, and was promoted to the bachelor of Hanlin to undertake the decree, and was promoted from the prefect of a place to a high-ranking official of the third grade, which is not common in our Great Song Dynasty." It can be seen that the official family is eager to seek talents, and it must be reused by the public, and the miscellaneous family is here to congratulate the adults on their happiness. ”

Cai Jing's hand holding the holy decree trembled slightly, the official of the Hanlin Bachelor's Decree is not ordinary, this official position was established in the Tang Dynasty, at that time, the Hanlin Bachelor's Decree as the leader of the Hanlin Bachelor's Decree, not simply drafted the edict, but held secrets in the ban, and was the actual prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, known as the "Inner Minister".

The Hanlin scholars of the Song Dynasty no longer had the power of the prime minister as in the Tang Dynasty, but they were still the chief officials of the Hanlin Academy, also known as "Han Chang", who was in charge of the system, edicts, edicts, and orders. Not permanent. Song Shenzong Yuanfeng was restructured, and the bachelor of Hanlin was appointed as the official of the third grade.

This is a transition station for the prime minister, everyone understands that the emperor is going to reuse Cai Jing, Yang Jian, as one of the later "six thieves", is of course also a master who sees the wind and steers, and his tone is flattering and respectful.

Cai Jing didn't dare to hold it up, and said with a smile: "It's all for the official family, what is there to congratulate, it's just that the responsibility is greater." Yang Daguan praised it, the official family is so loving, Cai is flattered. The big official has traveled all the way through the mountains and rivers, and it has been hard from afar, please sit down and rest, come to someone, and serve tea. ”

At this time, the eunuch was still an official position, and it did not specifically refer to the eunuchs, and the eunuchs were not called fathers-in-law, and the eunuchs with high rank were called senior officials, and the inferior ones were called cabinet chiefs, and ordinary eunuchs were called middle adults and middle officials. Daguan is the title of a eunuch with a high rank, and Yang Jian doesn't deserve this title now, but it sounds weird. Cai Jing received the financial support of the 'wealthy' father and son, and spent enough gold and silver to buy off the eunuchs, close ministers and concubines around the emperor, and Yang Jian did not take less, and there was a trace of closeness between them.

After Yang Jian went to clean his face and change clothes, Cai Jing showed a look of surprise, and the people in the house bowed down together to congratulate, Cai Jing smiled and walked to the middle of the bookcase, and put the holy decree respectfully on it, he saw that there was a vase with flowers next to him, I was afraid that someone would accidentally scrape the bottle, and the water inside would soak the holy decree, so he hurriedly moved the vase away.

"Congratulations to the lord for returning to the temple as an exiled minister, taking charge of the Hanlin Academy, and the world is looking sideways."

Cai He, the old capital of Cai Jing's mansion, is his confidant, and he knows the power best, and he fell into ecstasy with his master. The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, if Cai Jing gains power, his identity is different from now.

"Hehe, go and gather the officials of the government, sort out the documents and books of Yangzhou Mansion and the official seal and military books one by one, and wait for them to be handed over to the new prefect."

Since ancient times, it is not common to send charcoal in the snow, the icing on the cake is often there, the Han people are a nation that pays attention to human feelings, everything must be mixed with some affection, Cai Jing returned to the court, and the gentry and celebrities of Yangzhou Gongsheng Juzi naturally came to congratulate.

Cai Jing's reputation in office is not low, first of all, he is an orthodox professional background, he was once an official in the center of the court, and he is outstanding, calligraphy and painting.

The prefect is about to be promoted, and he is also invited to hold a banquet on the outskirts of Yangzhou, and anyone who receives an invitation does not participate, and those who do not receive an invitation want to drill into it with a sharpened head.

"Master Hanlin's promise?" Yang Lin looked at the invitation and smacked the meaning of it, this is the head of the Hanlin Academy.

The Hanlin of the Great Song Dynasty is most closely linked to the imperial examination, since everyone who knows the name is from Hanlin, Su Shi, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang.... They are all from Hanlin. And the prime minister, almost all of them are found from the Hanlin Bachelor's will, just like the Ming Dynasty had to be a member of the Hanlin Academy if he wanted to enter the cabinet.

I immediately entered Beijing to catch the exam, and at this time, Cai Jing was in charge of the Hanlin Academy, and his luck was not bad.

"Our master said, others can not go, Yang Jieyuan must be there, otherwise this party will lose a lot of color."

Yang Lin smiled: "Don't worry, you go back and tell the minister that the student Yang Lin must not be absent, and he can't beat the old man with a stick." ”

As soon as the people of Cai's Mansion who came to report the news left, Yang Tong rushed to the living room in a hurry, the flesh on his body trembled, and when he saw Yang Lin's eyes lit up, he grinned and said: "Lin'er, I heard from those shopkeepers that Cai's Governor's Mansion has been promoted." Now the evil rumors in the market say that he is going to worship the prime minister, is this allowed? ”

"Well, it's up, Master Hanlin promises. This is still not accurate, didn't I tell you a long time ago when Cai Jing was the prime minister, hehe. ”

After speaking, he handed over the invitation to Yang Tong, the handwriting on it was charming, the words were heroic, happy and calm, and had a unique style, which was Cai Jing's housekeeping skills.

"This thing has become a fragrant dumpling now, and everyone in Yangzhou City wants one."

The father and son glanced at each other, and Yang Tong excitedly raised his hands and said: "It's still Lin'er, your knowledge is high, let's climb the big tree of Cai Jing, and we won't worry about entering the officialdom in the future without a backer." Dad has been worried about this matter for the past few days, we are businessmen, so I am afraid that there is no foundation in the officialdom. The rain is wide, and the grass without roots is not moistened, Lin'er High School is a sure thing, now that Cai Jing is developed, Dad's heart is finally down-to-earth. Our family has one out of you, and it is worthy of the ancestors, my father gave birth to a jinshi for our Yang family, and I will happily see the ancestors when I enter the ancestral grave in the future. ”

Yang Tong's body is obese, and when he says this, he reveals his true feelings, and he actually cries a little. With such a greasy scene, Yang Lin thought that he would feel uncomfortable, but he didn't feel this way, but felt warm in his heart...

"Dad, although Cai Jing is a big tree and will be solid enough in the next few years, it will not be our foundation. There are so many tributes in Yangzhou, why can we get Cai Jing's favor, the reason is because my father is rich. The family business that my father earned for us is the foundation of our Yang family. ”

Yang Tongjiu has been in the mall for a long time, and the city government and scheming are not deep, and he was also moved by his son's words.

"Dad can see it, Lin'er, after you got sick, it was like turning on the light, and the decisions you made were all right. Originally, in order to make you happy, my father promised to give you so much money to befriend Tong Guan and Cai Jing, and I regretted it in my heart. In the future, your family will have the final say, and your father will continue to make money for you, and the Yang family will rely on you to baregate the lintel. ”

The officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty is a vanity fair, a place of right and wrong. In this prosperous dynasty, money played a very important role. The Yang family's family property is political capital, and if they want to make a difference in the future officialdom, they need a lot of money.

Yang Lin calculated in his heart, when I become an official and have power, I can help my father make money. This money can feed back into your career, which is still a virtuous circle.
