"Isn't that possible?" Zhang Wei asked rhetorically, "Zheng Hao is also a famous family, and he became a high position as a squire at such a young age, and he is two steps away from becoming a prime minister." Doesn't the eldest son think that Zheng Hao has the basis to be the prime minister? ”

The three-province and six-ministry system was a well-organized central bureaucratic system in ancient Chinese feudal society. Founded in the Sui Dynasty, perfected in the Tang Dynasty, and since then until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the six-part system has basically remained unchanged. The three provinces refer to Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province, and the six departments refer to the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry under Shangshu Province.

The main title of the six departments is Shangshu, and the deputy position is Shilang.

Ling Hulu knew that Zheng Hao was already a squire at the moment, and he should be a Shangshu if he took a step forward, and there were only six Shangshu in this court. Once he becomes a scholar, if there are no major problems, there is basically no big problem in becoming the prime minister in a few years.

And don't look at this Zheng Hao's age, he is a person who has been a waiter in several departments, and the position he is staying in at the moment is the head of the household department, an official in charge of finance! In addition, his grandfather Zheng Qi was also a prime minister, and his father Zheng Yide was a secretary of the military department, and he was a household servant at such a young age.

Take a look at Zheng Hao's resume, he is alive and well as a sign of three generations of officials and a political rookie.

On the other hand, Ling Hu is a little unconfident, although his grandfather and father are all people who have been prime ministers, but in the past 40 years, in addition to drinking and having fun, he has run the business in his own house, he has no achievements in politics, and his life is a mess, and his literary attainments are basically equivalent to idiots.

At this level, with this ability, I still want to compete with Zheng Hao for the position of the next prime minister. Dreaming!

Even if it's a dream, you should do it a little closer to reality, it's hurtful to be too far away.

But Ling Hu Ji didn't plan to stop there, because he had been planning for a long time, and he had worked hard for it, and more importantly, he also had a certain foundation, with so many conditions, if he stopped here, wouldn't it be too worthwhile.

"There is some truth in what you said, if Zheng Hao wants to compete with this son, he is indeed a strong opponent. But then again, it's not that I don't want to make achievements in politics, but my father is the prime minister of the dynasty and doesn't allow me to be an official! ”

In fact, Linghu is also a person who has been an official, and the history books say that he is both and first, and he is released as a captain of Chang'an and Jixian. In the second year of Xiantong, he moved to the right to pick up the relics and revise the history museum.

That is to say, the guy has been a captain of Chang'an, has also repaired books, and has been a right-handed picker. But these are all petty officials, and they are petty officials like sesame. For example, the right pick-up he had in his early years, I checked what Baidu said: "The petty officials set up in the Tang Dynasty and later dynasties are divided into left and right pick-ups, that is, consulting and suggesting officials, which literally means picking up the emperor's omissions (policy mistakes), which is equivalent to a modern supervisor and assistant." The left and right pick-up are the official positions of the eighth grade. ”

If it is placed in the county, it can be regarded as a middle-level leading cadre, but it cannot be lower if it is placed in the central government.

The prime minister's door is a seven-grade official, and a gatekeeper is quite a seven-grade official, do you make Hu Ji an eight-rank official of a central ministry still an official?

This is actually not important, and the more important explanation is this: "The Tang Dynasty also created two official positions, the filling of the que and the collection of relics, which were placed on the left and right, the left and the right were subordinate to the province of the sect, and the right was subordinate to the province of Zhongshu." Both the Supplement and the Gleaning were the Counselors, who were responsible for the four boxes used by the other Counselors to present the folds. ”

What a classic explanation, "He was responsible for the four boxes that were used by the other counselors to present the folds." "Guarding the "four boxes" doesn't even have a fifth?

The correct answer is no, because the imperial court does not allow an increase.

Is it any wonder that Du Fu and his old man are still hungry and begging for food in front of the left of the imperial court?

In front of such an official, you can't beg for food!

Du Fu was an old man who was a left picker, and in the early years, Ling Hu was a right picker, a little lower than Du Fu.

Anyway, your father is also the one who will be the prime minister in the future, so why don't you have any political achievements? Isn't there a shame in saying it?

In fact, even such an eight-grade petty official Ling Hu didn't do it for too long, I don't know if it was his father who became the prime minister in order to avoid suspicion, or because his official was really tasteless, and finally Ling Hu didn't even have to do this little eight-grade official, so he had to go home to "start a business" and become the president of his own company.

It's good to be a president! At least he can have the final say on his own chassis, but Ling Hu is good, although the official is not big, but the crooked atmosphere of officialdom has learned a lot, and he is not good at running a business, and he thinks about how to rectify people all day long, or to win over relationships.

Hey--, good ones don't want to learn, but bad ones do. It's also a rare talent!

But fortunately, it is precisely because Fox has such a strong "pursuit of life" that Zhang Wei can just use it.

"Eldest son, the younger one knows that you can't be an official because of avoiding suspicion, but that doesn't mean that you can't be loyal to the country, you can think of other ways to be loyal to the country!" Zhang Wei took the opportunity to say.

"If you are not an official, you can still be loyal to the country? How can you be faithful? Ling Hu Jian immediately became interested.

"Recommend talents." Zhang Wei said.

Recommend talent?

This is actually a very good road, many talents in ancient times were recommended to enter important positions, and many people also became famous because of the recommendation of talents. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Huangyang won a good reputation for recommending his son.

"Well--, what you said is right, although this son cannot enter the court as an official, but if you recommend talents properly, you can also win a good reputation, and it will be very useful for the promotion of this son in the future. Prime minister, the most important job is to find talents for the imperial court, use talents, if you have talent in knowing and employing people, will King Yun still be able to use me in the future? Obviously, Zhang Wei's words once again went to Ling Hulu's heart.

"That's right, this knowing people and employing talents is the most important thing for the prime minister to do, if the son is talented in this area, even if Zheng Hao is capable, he can only rank below the eldest son." Zhang Wei hurriedly praised.

"Hmm--" Ling Hu let out a long hum in recognition, and then said: "What you said is right, but this recommendation of talents also needs time, if there is no time, there is no vacancy, how can this son recommend talents?" ”

Zhang Wei smiled slightly: "Right now, there is an excellent opportunity waiting for Gongzi to recommend talents, didn't the eldest Gongzi see that Zhang Zhongwu of Fan Yang has arrived in Chang'an?" In addition to currying favor with King Yun, the purpose of his trip to Chang'an was to ask the imperial court to send troops to help him conquer Shanxi. Fighting a war has always been the most important time to employ people, and it is also the most important way to test talents. If the eldest son recommends talents for the use of the imperial court at this time, and when he wins the crusade against Shanxi in the future, the eldest son will also have great merit. ”

The reason is not explained so that the fox understands it, and the opportunity is just around the corner, and the rest is to recommend talents.

But where is this man?

Looking around at the shrimp soldiers and crab generals under his command, in addition to following him to eat and drink, it is to bully the surrounding people, flirt with other people's little daughters-in-law and big girls, and find a person who leads the troops to fight, or a person who strategizes, it is really difficult and difficult!
