"What are you kidding? Yes? Are you kidding? Tapping on the list he was holding in his hand, Chen Yu, the newly appointed secretary of the ministry, complained angrily to his old boss Bai Fei: "Where is this a promotion list, this is clearly ......"

"Alright! Say no more. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info" Bai Fei, who has become a member of the cabinet and is no longer in charge of the affairs of the ministry, waved his hand, interrupted Chen Yu's complaints, and said slowly: "I will discuss this matter with the first assistant and the second assistant...... But this must be done first. ”

He has only been in office for more than a month, and the result is that for the first time, he presided over the annual official examination of the Ministry of Officials, which made the new emperor sitting on the throne a complete child's play.

Because this emperor actually instructed Luo Haoran, who had just been promoted to a squire in the Ministry of Officials, to submit a list of officials to be promoted. If it were only the emperor who promoted a few favored courtiers, Chen Yu, a minister who had just taken office and needed the emperor's support, would have pinched his nose and endured it—but the list was so sensitive that he had to report the matter to the cabinet.

Chen Yu pressed the list and questioned Bai Fei: "Your Majesty, isn't it a bit too blatant to do this?" More than a dozen people who want to be promoted to middle-level officials are all from the circle of 'business capital', if this is opened, in the future, the court will really change the sky. ”

The last time Zhao Hongshou was killed by his own son, it led to a huge change in the top of the entire Ming Empire, although it seems that the scale of the change is huge, but it is always a reshuffle under the control of orthodox officials from the "scientific research". Although the emperor took advantage of that time to control the cabinet, he could only promote a limited number of positions.

But this time, the emperor made another move, but the officials felt unprecedented fear. Because this time, the departments moved by His Majesty the Emperor are all key ministries that seem unimportant, but are to be targeted by many officials.

However, the candidates for the placement are all "businessmen" who make the officials from the "professional class" unbearable. This so-called businessmanship is actually a businessman and a capitalist chaebol-born official, who has abundant funds and flexible means, and has no bottom line compared to the orthodox officials with a professional background -- in short, they are a group that seeks their own profits, and dares to take risks as long as they make profits.

"Don't think about things so pessimistically, in fact, if you look at it from another angle, this promotion list is also reasonable." Bai Fei picked up the tea on the table, took a sip of it, and then continued to say in his deliberately unhurried tone: "The emperor is fighting a prepared battle this time, do you still want to use your mantis arm as a car and give it a try?" ”

He glanced at the list that was pressed by Chen Yu, laughed and said, "Do you know that this time, our Emperor Your Majesty, in order to win the battle of Liaodong and become a new army, how much money did you borrow from these people?" What I, the minister, heard about was enough to scare the errand boys of the household department. ”

As he spoke, he put down the teacup he was holding in his hand, then looked at Chen Yu with a shocked face, and continued to speak: "Don't give interest to more than a dozen official positions, do you let the imperial court use next year's budget to pay off debts?" ”

Without waiting for Chen Yu to answer, Bai Fei opened his mouth as if he was talking to himself: "Okay! Even if this is the emperor's own borrowed money, you can't use the court's money to pay for it, but you really tore your face with the emperor, at least count how many people are willing to stand up for you, right? ”

Bai Fei stretched out his palm as he spoke, bent down a finger and said to Chen Yu: "Although the ministers support you, you also have to take care of your status, Ma Siyuan, Huang Yao, and Zhang Huai, don't count on it...... Ge Tianzhang and Wang Jianfeng all have their own ideas, how to stab the knife and whose knife to stab when the time comes, I can't see through it...... These people just promised to support you, you have to be cautious and not gullible, not to mention that they haven't expressed their position yet? ”

After finishing talking about the cabinet, he curled his second finger: "If the direction of the cabinet is unknown, you will lose a third, and how many supporters can you pull in the remaining six departments?" Sun Fanggang of the Ministry of Rites took away His Majesty's face on Wang Jue's issue, how could he come out again this time? ”

"The household department has always been close to the asset consortium and the business enterprises, this time it is the people themselves who make it bigger, although Li Mingyi's guy has a name with Zhao Mingyi, but he is much smarter than Zhao Mingyi, this time he is naturally determined to blossom and bear fruit outside the household department, can you make him suddenly change his mind?"

"Cheng Zhixin on the side of the Ministry of War has just annoyed the emperor, and the relationship is tense to a very dangerous time. This time, His Majesty the Emperor made it clear that he wanted to expand the new army and strengthen the country's military strength...... At this time, Cheng Zhixin doesn't honestly watch the excitement, then he is a fool of Tianzihao! ”

"The Ministry of Industry and the enterprise have always been closely connected, so I don't need to say how to express my position...... In the sixth department, you haven't even done it with your own servants, and you still want to attack His Majesty the Emperor and force him to change his mind? After Bai Fei bent his last finger, he looked at his henchman Chen Yu and asked.

"That'...... Teacher...... This time, the 'business capitalists' are in power, and we can only sit and wait? Chen Yu frowned and asked his doubts. Of course, he knew that the current situation was not suitable for the emperor, but he really did not want to see the "business capitalists" rise so strongly-this is something that every official from a professional background does not want to see.

Bai Fei sighed, looked at Chen Yu's puzzled eyes, and said helplessly, "You haven't seen it clearly...... Since Wang Jue, the young man, swept away the rebels in Liaodong, the emperor and the people who supported the emperor have one more bargaining chip that none of us can shake. ”

Speaking of this, he shook his head again and denied the conclusion he had just made: "No, no...... From the moment the emperor tolerated it, or rather decided to form a new army, it has already doomed us to the predicament we are in today...... If we hadn't played the Ming Empire into a decadent and incurable appearance, the first emperor would not have had the idea of innovating and striving to become strong. ”

"From that point on, we were actually defeated. Not to lose to others, but to yourself! When more and more people in this country are eager for change, it means that the people who originally occupied the place are not good enough...... Alas......" This sigh, Bai Fei's voice was different from the sigh just now, it was heavier and more lonely.

Everyone thinks that when the first emperor Zhu Changle agreed with Wang Jue and Zhu Mu to form a new-style army to experiment and investigate new combat ideas, it was an unofficial decision made with a mentality of coaxing children to play. But now it seems that this may also be a means for Zhu Changle to express his dissatisfaction to the entire Ming Empire court that was in power at that time.

Now, this means of expressing dissatisfaction has developed into a powerful force that cannot be ignored, rolling up a strong storm in Liaodong, and even sweeping most of the center of the Ming Empire.

If you look at it this way, Wang Jue's support for Zhu Mu can be said to be as important as the heroes of Jingjing. There is really a reason why Zhu Mu values this best friend of his mind so much, and it seems that it is not too much to value such a friend.

Thinking of this, Bai Fei touched his beard, squinted his eyes and continued to think in his mind: In this way, Wang Jue is obviously more important than everyone analyzes, and his role in Liaodong and Liaobei does show his importance!

"Wang Family Qilinzi ......" whispered, and Chen Yu didn't hear what Bai Fei was talking about. Then he heard Bai Fei say to himself: "Whether it's Tan Jincheng or Yang Yuheng, count Wang Yadong...... All of them agreed! Help the emperor do this, and accumulate a good karma for yourself. ”

Chen Yu nodded helplessly, and then set his eyes on this list, although the names on it were also well-known before, they couldn't match the high-ranking officials. Because what they really remember is a nickname about their identity.

Tan Jincheng, the king of artillery, Yang Yuheng, the king of automobiles, Yadong, the king of industrial pillars, Han Wanli, the leader of the cloth industry, and Han Kai, the oil tycoon...... Coupled with some consortium spokespersons and new business capitalists, this is simply a dividend of the victory of the Liaodong War, and the winners of the dividends almost constitute a modern war logistics system!

In the past, they may have been rich and powerful, but they did not have power. Now, they are not only rich and powerful, but they have also entered the imperial power hierarchy, and have become officials who can influence the decisions of the empire - no longer need to be manipulated in the shadows, nor do they need to support spokesmen or carefully maintain relations with the bureaucracy, they can now express their opinions openly and exercise their will to money!

"Teacher! I understand! Chen Yu stood up, picked up the list that had made him feel in crisis, and then stuffed it into his pocket: "In order to better protect our interests, we should also change our position!" Better serving the Ming Empire is the real capital of our life! ”

"If you can think like this, it means that you, as an official, have already done it!" Bai Fei didn't get up, but picked up the already cold tea again, with an incomprehensible smile on his face.

Similarly, no one expected that when the situation in Liaodong was coming to an end, the emperor of the Ming Empire turned his attention to Jiangnan......
