In fact, although Zhao Lian has not collapsed, he is not far from collapse.

When he learned that he was transferred to the right capital of the Imperial Palace, Zhao Lian was excited. This is not only a noble yamen, but also a powerful yamen. Although it is still not one of the Jiuqing, it is only one step away from the Jiuqing.

In comparison, Nanjing's household servant is far behind.

Nanjing Hubu Shilang wants to be transferred to the capital Jiuqing, the difficulty is not ordinary, basically he needs to be released to supervise, and then transferred back to Beijing. The right capital of the Imperial Court does not have this concern, and it is completely possible to go further and Ren Jiuqing.

But after arriving in the capital, Zhao Lian's mood was not good.

After learning about the responsibilities of the Imperial History of the Right Capital of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, the whole person was not good.

Although the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is in a high position, it still controls the two major killer-level yamen of the Law and Discipline Department and the Corruption Department. But these two yamen are now hot potatoes, and they are not easy to take at all.

After hearing the legend of his reputation, Zhao Lian sighed in his heart, the emperor was going to use himself as a knife.

None of the cool officials in history ended well, what should I do? If you don't do this official, you will have a bleak future, and if you don't do it well, your family will be ruined, and if you don't do this official, it is estimated that your family will be ruined now.

The emperor has a lot of faith in himself, and he handed over the Department of Law and Discipline and the Department of Corruption to himself, and did not do it himself, which is a slap in the face of the emperor and a loss of face for the emperor. Slap the emperor in the face and make the emperor lose face, can he be better?

Walking on the way to the palace, Zhao Lian was entangled in his heart, what should he do.

What is Zhu Yijun doing at this time?

He's teasing the birds.

The parrots that paid tribute a few years ago are now old, basking in the sun every day, but they are very good at patting sycophants by the eunuchs, and shouting all day long live the emperor and long live the emperor, doing their best to flatter them.

Zhu Yijun likes this old bird very much, and he teases it every day, and his mood can be much better.

"Emperor, Lord Zhao Lian Zhao is here!" Zhang Whale stood behind Zhu Yijun and bowed down and said.

Zhu Yijun nodded, and said with a light smile: "Let him come in!" ”

Regarding Zhao Lian's arrangement, Zhu Yijun just felt that he was suitable in that position. As for what kind of cool officials and knives and the like, Zhu Yijun can only say that Zhao Lian thinks too much, and people in this era think too much.

Zhu Yijun will never raise cool officials, and he will never use the hands of cool officials to clean up the officialdom.

Who is the most famous person in history who is known as a cool official? Wu Zetian, of course.

In the end, the name of Zhou Xinghe and the monarch and ministers shocked many people. But what was Wu Zetian's situation at that time? The position is not right, and she reigns in the world as a woman, and there are ministers with bad intentions inside, and there are Li clan relatives who plot the throne.

In that case, Wu Zetian had to do it as a last resort.

What is your situation? Holding the military and political power, the Ming Zhu family is the son of heaven, how can he do things with cool officials. What I want is a system, a systematic anti-corruption, and a new rule for the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

This is what I should do to promote the status of the Corruption Department and the Law and Discipline Department, and to promote the heads of the Corruption Department and the Law and Discipline Department.

Not to mention anything else, after the Corruption Department and the Law and Discipline Department absorbed the envoys and gave the matter, Zhu Yijun was ready to take charge of the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and completely position the Metropolitan Procuratorate as the supervisory body of the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, the Imperial History of the Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not only become one of the Nine Emperors, but also become a member of the Cabinet.

There is no law for other yamen, but the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate must be included in the cabinet. Whoever occupies this position must have a seat in the cabinet, and in this way elevate the status of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

In order to lay the foundation for the picketing system of Ming officials, this is the road that Zhu Yijun arranged for Zhao Lian.

If he does a good job, Zhao Lian will be the first person to enter the cabinet in such an capacity, and he will definitely be able to leave a name in history. Of course, it depends on Zhao Lian's attitude and how he does.

Of course, Zhao Lian didn't know what Zhu Yijun thought, and after walking in, he was apprehensive.

"Minister Zhao Lian, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

After Zhao Lian walked in, he knelt on the ground respectfully and saluted Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun turned around and said with a light smile: "Get up!" ”

In fact, this is the first time that the two have met, Zhao Lian has been an official for so many years, and he has always been in a foreign office, and he has never seen this son of heaven. Although I have seen it in the Beijing Dynasty, it is also far away, and I can't even see the emperor's face.

"Zhao Aiqing's name, I've heard it for a long time!" Zhu Yijun said with a smile.

"Whether it is Xu De or Dingbei Hou, they have a lot of praise for Aiqing."

"Panic!" Zhao Lian hurriedly bowed and said.

Zhu Yijun smiled: "For capable ministers and officials, I will not hesitate to reward them, nor will I hesitate to entrust them with important tasks. I attach great importance to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Department of Law and Discipline and the Department of Corruption. ”

"I think Aiqing has this talent, can Aiqing have the confidence to do anything?"

Zhao Lian smiled bitterly in his heart, he knew that he couldn't hide, so he gritted his teeth, since he couldn't hide, he simply went all the way to the dark. Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Lian bowed down and said, "The minister has confidence!" ”

Nodding, Zhu Yijun said appreciatively: "Very good!" ”

"Then go and do a good job for me, don't let me down."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust!" After saying this, Zhao Lian said again: "The minister retires!" With that, he bowed down and retreated.

People can't help themselves in officialdom, and their own emperors are like this, let alone Zhao Lian? He now has no capital to refuse. Zhu Yijun will not give him a chance to refuse, thunder and rain and dew are all Jun'en, I said, you have to do it.

"Take advantage of this opportunity to do something else!" Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said lightly: "Has Wang Yongji gone to the Tax Department?" ”

Wang Yongji has been resting since he came back from Nanjing, and Zhu Yijun gave him a big vacation. Since the beginning of the official gentry's integrated payment of grain, Wang Yongji has always been busy.

Now in the north of Zhili, then to Shandong, and finally to Nanjing, not only running from south to north, but also has not rested.

After coming back this time, Zhu Yijun arranged for him to have a good rest, and sent someone from the Tai Hospital to recuperate his body. The tax department is now inseparable from Wang Yongji, and Zhu Yijun relies on him very much, so he can't be wasted.

It's just that it's almost time to rest, and it's time for the tax department to do its job.

As a very strong yamen in the limelight of the Ming Dynasty, it was actually robbed of the limelight by the Department of Law and Discipline, which is not good. Now it's time for the tax department to take action, and at the same time it's time to get the money yourself.

"Back to Your Majesty, Lord Wang has already returned to the Department of Law and Discipline three days ago." Zhang Whale hurriedly said.

Zhu Yijun nodded, and directly ordered: "Come!" ”

Wang Yongji has had a good rest these days, and he is full of enthusiasm to return to the tax department again. The tax department is now basically on the right track, and Wang Yongji has not as many things to worry about as before.

After being summoned by Zhu Yijun, Wang Yongji came to the palace as soon as possible.

After seeing Wang Yongji, Zhu Yijun waved his hand to let him exempt him, as Zhu Yijun's confidant minister, Wang Yongji was definitely the earliest batch to follow, and he made outstanding achievements.

Glancing at Wang Yongji, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Looking at Aiqing's expression today, I am very pleased. ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, the minister is ashamed, the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital has superb medical skills, and His Majesty has rewarded various supplements, and the minister's body has been greatly improved." Wang Yongji hurriedly bowed and said.

Zhu Yijun nodded, and then said with a smile: "This time there is a vacancy in the household department, and I originally wanted to let Aiqing let it." ”

Hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Wang Yongji was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand in his heart. In fact, no one doesn't know Zhu Yijun's importance to Wang Yongji, and no one doesn't know Zhu Yijun's cultivation of Wang Yongji.

Many people regard Wang Yongji as the successor of the household secretary, but this time he failed to correct it.

If you want to say that you are not lost in your heart, it is definitely impossible, not to say that you are busy with things, but your status has also arrived. The head of the household department, the head of the tax department, further does the household department book, which is also the proper meaning.

It's just that Wang Yongji felt that this matter was over, but he didn't expect the emperor to mention it again.

Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Yongji and said with a smile: "You are still young, don't fight with others first." ”

In fact, Wang Yongji also knew that he and Zeng Shengwu had a chance of winning at all. Whether it is prestige or qualifications, Zeng Xingwu is a comprehensive crushing of himself, which cannot be compared.

Speaking of credit, I have been an official for so many years, and I have a lot of credit.

This time in the northwest, Zeng Province opened a precedent for the Ming Dynasty's military reform, and it was also a high degree of hard work. Although he has been making meritorious contributions, after all, the time is short. As for the young age that the emperor said, Wang Yongji didn't know what to say.

I'm 60 years old, still young? Your Majesty, you are molesting courtiers.

Looking at Wang Yongji's embarrassed face, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "The Hubu Shangshu is a good position, but I don't want to give it to you, those who have made meritorious contributions to me should be rewarded, how can a Hubu Shangshu be rewarded." ”

Hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Wang Yongji's face changed, could it? Can't!

He is a second-year jinshi in Longqing, and he ranks among the top three, and his first official position is Huai'an Tuiguan, which shows that his test scores are low. It can be said that he is the countdown of that session.

Sometimes recalling it, Wang Yongji feels that it is quite magical, and he actually achieved the position of the household servant.

In Wang Yongji's imagination, in his life, if he can be a scholar, it can be regarded as a comforting life. But listening to what the emperor means now, I'm afraid I want to enter the cabinet?

"Aiqing, do you know the name of this palace?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Yongji and said with a smile.

I don't know where this king Yongji, this is the Wenhua Palace!

Originally, the Wenhua Hall was just the emperor's study and a place to study, but now everyone in the Ming Dynasty knows the importance of this place in the eyes of the emperor. The emperor ascended the throne at a young age, and Zhang Ge Lao studied at the Pope of the Wenhua Palace.

After the emperor came into power, he basically worked here and stayed here, so he didn't go back to the Qianqing Palace much.

At that time, Zhang Ge Lao put a screen in the Wenhua Palace, on which were written the names of all officials above the seventh grade of the Ming Dynasty, and now these screens are still there, and it is of extraordinary significance to His Majesty.

Wang Yongji immediately thought of a possibility, could it be that His Majesty wants to make himself a scholar of the Wenhua Palace?

In the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, the scholars are all named after the palace, such as the Huagai Palace, the Jinshen Palace, the Wuying Palace, the Wenyuan Pavilion, the East Pavilion and other scholars, but the scholars of the Wenhua Palace are a very special existence.

Although the Mandarin Scholars are also among the scholars, it has a very special place, the Mandarin Scholars have the responsibility of assisting in the education of the prince, and their status is very special.

Thinking that he was going to be a scholar of Wenhuadian University, Wang Yongji was a little excited.

Although the emperor is young and the queen has no concubines, I heard that the queen is pregnant and is likely to give birth to a prince. Now that I am a scholar of Mandarin Palace, I may look a little embarrassed.

But once the queen gave birth to a prince and was canonized as the crown prince, she was immediately different.

Maybe he can't teach the prince, but he has a status.

At his own age, even if he enters the household department or enters the cabinet, it is estimated that he will be the lowest-ranked bachelor in this life. Not to mention anything else, you can line yourself to death in line.

Now the emperor has given himself the position of a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, which is obviously a special reward for himself.

Thinking of this, Wang Yongji was a little excited. Although Fang Feng entered the cabinet as a non-Hanlin person, Wang Yongji never thought that he could also enter the cabinet, and he was also a special scholar of Wenhua Palace.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is the Wenhua Palace!"

Although he was forced to suppress himself, Wang Yongji's voice was still a little trembling.

Zhu Yijun nodded with a smile and said with a smile: "Yes! Mandarin Palace! I want to take Aiqing as a scholar of Wenhua Palace, Aiqing don't let me down, do a good job! ”

Hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Wang Yongji knelt down directly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Yongji's body trembled with excitement.

Wang Yongji was not good at the imperial examination, and he was already forty years old when he was admitted to the Jinshi, and he originally thought that this would be the case in this life. Who in the officialdom doesn't know that the twenty-year-old Zhongjin sergeant has a bright future.

At the age of thirty, the future is bright, but at the age of forty, it is the same thing.

If you are a 40-year-old Zhongjinshi and do well in the exam, it is okay to say that it is a miracle that a 40-year-old Zhongjinshi like himself, who is on the edge of the top three, can achieve today's official position.

Now not only can he enter the cabinet, but he is also a scholar of Wenhuadian University, which is no longer a comfort in his life, but a peak in life.

Zhu Yijun walked to Wang Yongji's side, stretched out his hand to help Wang Yongji up, and said with a smile: "I will never treat heroes badly, the officials and gentry pay for food in one piece, thanks to Aiqing's planning." ”

"The Daming Tax Division can be today, and Aiqing is also indispensable, and Aiqing is worthy of my reward."

Zhu Yijun said this, and said with a smile: "But Aiqing can't rest on his laurels, and he has to make new contributions!" ”

Zhu Yijun gave Wang Yong the position of a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, on the one hand, for reward, on the other hand, for outsiders to see, work hard, I am willing to be rewarded, and on the other hand, it is to motivate Wang Yongji.

Before doing big things, give the king the benefits first, if you want the horse to run, how can you do it without feeding some good grass.
