Chapter 774: New Officials Take Office......

After Shen Mingchen's persuasion for days, the crowd surrounding the door of Shen's house finally dispersed, and the household should be their next stop.

The Ministry of Rites had already sent someone to be stationed at Shen's house, and as soon as the official sedan chair went out, they hurried to report it and let the people in the yamen prepare for the sealing ceremony.

The one who was squatting in the Shen Mansion was Shen Mo's old acquaintance Wang Qiming, I saw him holding a small mirror, walked to Shen Dian's sedan chair, and said with a smile: "Lord Ministry, my subordinates have already asked someone to ask, and the day after tomorrow is a good day to take office......

Silent and said lightly: "This official doesn't believe this, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day." ”

"If you want to say that today is not bad, there are still many good stars on the yellow calendar, but there is still a bad star at the bottom, I am afraid that it will not be good to collide." Wang Qiming presented the small mirror to him and said as if offering a treasure: "The fortune teller said that if you put this gui on the lintel of the sedan chair, you will avoid all evils." ”

Silently, it was a palm-sized key mirror, and a gossip was drawn on it, and the heart said, even if you are kind enough to resolve it for me, find an inconspicuous one! Today, on such a good day, I hung a mirror on my sedan chair, shining all the way, those who knew that I was warding off evil spirits, and those who didn't know thought I was crazy. couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You hang yourself around your neck." After speaking, he lowered the sedan curtain.

"Get up the sedan chair" "Hu Yong said now, the sedan chair drivers lifted the sedan chair and walked out of the alley, but they had no power to parry...... "Originally, the officers and soldiers only wanted to give a dismount, but who knew that they were beaten to and urine.

"Stop!" After a brief moment, he lost his mind, and then silently shouted: "Don't hit anyone!" Stop! Which of you is the leader. ”

Zhou Youdao, the imperial historian of the inner city, held the official hat in one hand, ran to the edge of Shen Fall, and said: "The lower official is late to save the car, and the lord of the ministry is frightened. ”

Silent and anxious, he said, "Thank you Lord Zhou for coming to help, but please close the team quickly." ”

"Ah" Zhou Youdao was stunned.

Shen Mo repeated again: "Please Lord Zhou to close the team." ”

"Don't you arrest people?" Zhou Youdao asked in a low voice.

"With so many people, who are you arresting?" Silence lowered his voice.

"This is the ...... of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites" Zhou Youdao said incomprehensibly: "In case ......"

"These are the most noble and noble stomachs, the most noble, the most cultivated, how can they do that kind of bandit-like behavior?" Silently glanced at him meaningfully, and said in a high voice: "Since this official is in charge of the Zongren Mansion, he has the obligation to protect the Daming Sect. Lord Zhou, rest assured, this yamen can't be demolished, if it is really demolished, it is also my responsibility, and it has nothing to do with others. ”

Since everyone Shangshu said so, how could Zhou Hai still be nosy, so he hugged his fist and said: "Cheng, listen to you." He waved his hand and said, "Shepherd! Then he took the soldiers and horses who were not tired of disturbing him and left, leaving only a place to wail.

Suffering this sudden blow, the clans lost their spirits at this time, and they all looked blank, and many people even shed tears. At this time, Shen Mo crossed the guards and walked among them, while making people raise their heads to break the bandages of the bloodies, and at the same time gently comforted: "The Terracotta Division is indeed a little harsh, but your behavior is also a little reckless?" The Liudu Yamen is an important place second only to the palace, and people will beat it, and it is useless to sue the emperor. ”

The clans originally wanted to let Shen Mo be the master, but when he said this, and then linked to the time before last, there were also so many clans who were imprisoned. The bloody reality tells them that time has passed, and what about the descendants of the Zhu family, they are not a group of poor worms who can fight and kill when they want! Many were desolate and began to weep.

"Don't be sad, everybody." The silent comfort sounded at the right time: "Preferential treatment of royal relatives and old nobles is the ancestral system of my Ming Dynasty for 200 years, and the court will not disapprove it." After that episode, the nobles of the clan no longer had the face to be silent, but felt that he was like a relative, and he was sincerely towards them. So when he started to speak, the field fell silent, and everyone listened quietly: "You are anxious, and I feel the same way, but it's useless to be anxious, we still have to come up with a countermeasure." But where is the place on the street to get down to business? What's more, the official didn't even take the seal, so he can't count what he says now. As he spoke, he arched his hand to everyone and said: "If you believe what I said, please go back first, treat the wounds that should be treated, eat when you should eat, and wait for tomorrow morning, invite six representatives to come to the ministry to discuss, and the official promises that he will definitely speak for you." ”

"Shen Butang is interesting enough, we have to be delicious enough." The clans looked at each other, and they also knew that they had broken their sharpness today, and they had no face to consume any longer, and this year's old man came out to speak: "Today is a good day for his old man to take office, we can't mix it up, just do what he says" "This is how the clans are scattered."

As soon as those people left, Yin Shizhan hurriedly brought the officials of the Ministry of Rites to greet them, Shen Shen as if nothing had happened, and greeted them with a smile. At this time, the time to praise and say auspicious had arrived, and the drummers began to blow and play, and he entered the yamen surrounded by everyone, and bowed to the holy decree and the great seal.

Because it is Lord Shangshu who has taken office today, he has to brush up and down, and none of them will fall. Yin Shizhan introduced his subordinates to Shen Mo, although he had been a waiter in the headquarters and knew all about this, Shen Mo still remained patient and listened very carefully.

As one of the six departments, the head of the Ministry of Rites is naturally him, a scholar, and has the left and right attendants as the second assistant, but now only Yin Shizhan is the left attendant, and the right attendant is vacant. Under its subordinate, the Department of Secretaries is responsible for daily drafting, document transfer, etc. There are also four major Qing Officials Division, among which the ceremonial Qing Officials Division, the Jiali, the military ceremony, and the management of the country's academic affairs, imperial examinations: the ancestral sacrifice of the Qing Officials Division is in charge of auspicious rites, fierce ceremonial affairs, that is, the sacrifice of heaven and earth gods, and the country's condolences and funerals "The major events of the country, but Rong and rituals, which are also the most primitive and original functions of the Ministry of Rites.

There is also the main Rong Qing Officials Division, in charge of the guest ceremony and the reception of foreign guests, under the four Yi coffin, Tongwen coffin and other highly targeted departments, responsible for dealing with vassals, foreign countries and fine food and cleaning officials Division, in charge of the feast and sacrifice prison affairs, "the feast is the state banquet, the food and the dumpling is at all levels in charge of the school, the food and gold subsidy given to the students is the sacrifice of the sacrifice, at first glance it is an oil and water department. In fact, although the Lidu has always been bitter for the Yin family, but these four divisions also have the distinction between the rich and the poor, needless to say, the fine food division is naturally the rich division and the ritual department because of the way to control the way for the scholar to enter the body, "the imperial examination, of course, the status is respected, and it is called the priest of the ancestral hall Although he has a good name, he deals with ghosts and gods, and he can only see ghosts when he can have oil and water, so he deserves to be a poor priest." As for the main Rong Division, it is even more miserable, the Ming Dynasty only draws respect, and all the outsiders are the people, and as a result, the Ming Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also become a humble division.

In any case, each department has one lang, one or two outsiders, and a number of directors, and in addition to these formal establishments, there are also a number of scribes, who are responsible for the handling of daily affairs.

Under each department, there are a number of pavilions and bureaus responsible for specific errands, such as the coffin, the casting and printing bureau, etc., which are led by the directors of each department, and their ambassadors and deputy ambassadors are not qualified to meet the ministers if it were not for today's special day.

In addition, although the Rite Capital Shangshu itself is also a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, it does not mean that the Hanlin Academy is subordinate to the Ministry of Rites, so the cadres of the Hanlin Academy do not appear here.

After a brief introduction, Yin Shizhan invited Lord Dutang to speak. Standing up silently, facing a room full of subordinates, he first recalled his days in the ministry with emotion, and also ordered the names of a few scribes, asking if this still beats his wife? Did that son get into Xiucai? In short, he is mainly concerned about the lives of his subordinates, and in addition to asking for warmth, he also pointed out the prospect of following him...... "People say that the Ministry of Rites is poor, but as long as I am this Shangshu for a day, your salary will not be owed, the benefits must be implemented, and the opportunities for promotion and regularization will definitely be more than those of other departments!" made the blood of the subordinate officials boiling, and they almost shouted, long live the ministry!

After the emotion was over, Shen Chuan asked his subordinates to return to their places, leaving only Yin Shizhan and the four Langzhong, and the head of the affairs hall, and transferred them to the Shangshu duty room to continue the meeting. But unlike the enthusiasm and generosity in the front hall, there was no trace of a smile on his face at this time, which made several leaders of the ceremonial department, who were originally quite relaxed, nervous again.

There was no cold noise, and he pointed out bluntly that the loose atmosphere of the Ministry of Rites must be changed, and the most important thing is that it is pragmatic and Eryu. He said: "In the past few years, I have seen that there are too many discussions between the imperial court, or one thing and A can be not, or one person is contradictory, this is the so-called, the government is more complicated" and most of them are nonsense and empty talk. Rather, it is a crime to be pragmatic and pragmatic "all oral reports and written reports must be simple and concise, clear and coherent, and you can clearly explain to me" wasting other people's time is a crime, if you don't know what to say, don't say anything, it's better than opening your mouth. ”

Although no one blamed these words, they made everyone blush, most of them were from Hanlin, and what they were best at was boasting and talking, as well as flowery official articles, which were obviously the target of silent criticism.

Silently ignoring their embarrassment, he continued: "There is another layer, that is, do not delay." In the past few years, I have seen that whenever there is a document on it, the officials will sign one and do it, and then they will send it down, and then sign it again, and then do it, and then convey it, until they can't pass it down, so they will be thrown aside and become a dead letter. What, do it? Which one is still bothered! I don't know how many sacks there are in a year, whether it can be done or not, God knows! Officials at all levels are comfortable, but the country's political affairs have also been completely delayed. Saying that, Xia Jindao, with a firm gaze: "All my subordinates, big and small affairs, must be replied to as soon as possible after receiving the order from the upper peak." The ministry will set up a register, and everything must be registered when it is done, and cancelled after it is completed. Those who exceed the time limit shall be punished as violating the system. This will serve as an important example for evaluating the merits of officials. ”

The instructions with guns and sticks made several dignitaries tremble, and secretly said that their previous impression was wrong, "Based on their past contact with Shen Mo, as well as what they have seen and heard, they all think that this Shen Butang is a good talker. His speech in the front hall at the beginning seemed to confirm this, but who knew that it was all an illusion, and it was really so that he was the master of the house, and he actually sang behind closed doors.

Several people couldn't help but secretly complain, and they didn't dare to make a mistake in front of him.

This is exactly what silence wants. Treat dandruff, too wide will not be inferior, too strict and resentful, the key is to grasp the degree, to achieve leniency and severity. For indirect subordinates, or subordinates with lower official positions, the disparity in status itself makes them dare not make mistakes. In addition, there is little contact with him, what is easy to establish is authority, and what is not easy to establish is affection, so he tries to show his benevolence.

And here are his direct subordinates, look up and don't look down, there are a lot of daily work and waist contact with people, it is easy to establish feelings, it is not easy to establish authority, so you must give them a dismount, and it is not too late to slowly show your benevolence in the future.

Seeing that the sitting posture of several people had obviously changed, a smile flashed at the corner of Shen Mo's mouth, and he knew that the goal had basically been achieved, so he changed his voice and said, "Let's talk about the main affairs in the near future." ”

"Oh...... "yes." Yin Shizhan came back to his senses, took out a note from his sleeve and said: "This is the headquarters until yesterday, all the unsettled matters, please review it." ”

"Lord Yin has a heart." Shen Mo gave him a smile, which actually made Yin Shizhan feel relieved, so that he was not so nervous. The heart said that this Lord Shen is really full of official authority, amazing." Wang Qiming saw that he was bored, so he had to put the bronze mirror in his arms and muttered in a low voice: "I'd rather believe it than believe it."

The sedan chair passed through the bustling chessboard street and went to Dongjiang Rice Lane. Wang Qiming's enthusiasm was still the same, and he tirelessly urged: "Hurry up, hurry up, you must enter the door at three o'clock, but you can't delay the hour." Although the sedan chair drivers also annoyed him, but no one could afford to miss the time, so they sped up their pace than usual.

Wang Qiming was squatting in the Shen Mansion these days, and when he saw those people, he muttered: "Is it a bad time, bumping into so many dead stars." "It turns out that these people are the same group that blocked silence at home. They were indeed fooled into going to the Ministry of Households, but the six Yamen of the Ming Dynasty were not far away, and as soon as the Ministry of Rites was prepared, the Ministry of Households would know...... "I was worried that I couldn't get rid of these masters, so I had a bad idea, and told them that today is the day when the Ministry of Rites Shangshu took office, and you hurry over, and the day of great joy over there must be easy to talk about."

When these people heard the words, they ran away, and when they arrived at Dongjiang Rice Lane, the people from the Ministry of Rites were still preparing a band and a guard of honor, and they were caught off guard, and they surrounded them.

Yin Shizhan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, had no idea, and he had the intention of asking the messenger to drive them away, and he was afraid that he would make a big deal and cause trouble for the ministers, but Ren was blocked here, and seeing that a ceremony was about to be disrupted, he stomped his feet there and said: "How is this good......?"

Shen Mo also saw those clans, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seemed that they had kicked the ball back again. Since I have caught up, I can't hide it, and this can be regarded as the first test of my own etiquette book, and I can't be stage frightened.

Thinking of this, he calmed down silently and said in a deep voice: "Get off the sedan chair." ”

This green tweed official sedan chair was also found over there, and the clans were all knowledgeable, and at a glance, they knew that it was the sedan chair of Lord Shangshu. So he came from the yamen with a hula sound.

The guards hurriedly stepped forward and lined up in front of the adults.

"We want to see Lord Shangshu" "Please Shen Butang come out and speak." The clans howled.

The sedan chair slowly opened, Shen Mo bent down and got off the sedan chair, his eyes swept over everyone, and he said lightly: "I am Shen Mo, what is the matter with you?" ”

"Lord Shen, you have to call the shots for us...""The rules of the ancestors can't be broken...", is the court going to force us to death?" The clans were gossiping, very noisy, and couldn't hear clearly.

Shen Mo raised his hand, signaled everyone to be safe, and raised his voice and said: "Everyone, please calm down first, and then send a representative to come out and make things clear to the official." After a pause, he said: "With such a noisy shout, there is no way to talk at all." ”

The clans quarreled and shouted for a while, and it took a long time to nominate six people who had deep expectations and walked out of the crowd to negotiate with the government.

The silent gaze turned to the corner of the street, and saw the officers and soldiers of the brigade rushing over, it turned out that at this time, the imperial history of the city patrol brought Jin Wuwei from the Soldiers and Horses Division, and came to the rescue.

"In front of the ministry yamen is the forbidden land of the imperial court!" A horse trotted over, and a loud voice sat on it: "Wait for it to disperse as soon as possible, otherwise the body monster Wang Fa will be ruthless!" ”

Seeing the officers of the brigade, outflanked with a rod and iron chain, the crowd that had just quieted down became agitated again, and their faces were full of habitual anger. Although he is a nobleman and is not afraid of the government like the common people, but in the end, the phoenix that has lost its hair is not as good as a chicken, and if he really wants to be caught in the prison temple, he will have to shed his skin if he does not die! So the crowd was excited, and immediately some people cried wolves.

The officers and men knew that at such a time, if they wanted to calm the scene, the key was to dismount and be ruthless, so they didn't say a word, and went down with a burst of sticks, and immediately beat those birds to feathers. Don't look at the clans, they show off their might, as if they are not afraid of heaven and earth, but when it comes to this kind of test of bravery, it is really not as good as the poor people who work hard, at least they can resist it
