263 Bachelors of Waiting
"Holy Lord, the minister thinks it is improper."
Without waiting for others to speak, Wang Xijue stood up first. He had already seen that everyone's resentment towards Su Hao had not been eliminated, and they were all thinking about how to make trouble for Su Hao, if he didn't stand up for Su Hao at this time, he would be miserable for everyone.
"Mr. Wang, please speak." Wanli took the opportunity to give the right to speak to Wang Xijue.
Wang Xijue said: "Wu Shilang recommended Su Hao to Runing to inspect things, and the minister thought that this was a good opportunity for young people to go through trials and hardships and gain a long insight, so the minister agreed with Wu Shilang's recommendation." ”
"Well, go on." Wanli said, of course he knew that Wang Xijue's words were just a foreshadowing, and more importantly, the "but" behind.
"But......" Wang Xijue really did not disappoint Wanli, he said, "The matter of Runing is complicated, and there are many relationships involved. I went to inspect with a six-grade official, but I was afraid that I would not be able to convince the public. ”
As soon as these words came out, Wu Boxing was a little dumb. He recommended Su Hao to go to Runing Mansion, originally with the purpose of digging a pit for Su Hao. The prefect of Runing Mansion is a fourth-grade official, and the governors of the following two states are also from the fifth grade, and the grade is higher than Su Hao. Wang Xijue's words broke the sky, which made it difficult for Wu Boxing to refute the invincible txt download of the king of online games.
"According to Mr. Wang, what should we do?" Wanli asked with a smile.
Wang Xijue said: "There are two ways. First, send a high-ranking official as the chief officer, with Su Hao as an auxiliary officer, to Runing. Second......"
Speaking of this, he dragged out a long speech, meaning that everyone should express their position first. If I think the first option is feasible, I will not mention the second option. If you don't think the first option is feasible, then I propose the second option, and you are not in a position to oppose it.
Shoufu Shen Shixing took over the conversation and said, "This is the first method that Fu Yu said. Shen didn't think it would work. The meaning of the suitable Wu Shilang is to train the newcomers, if another chief officer is assigned, how can he play the role of experience? Besides, there are a lot of things in the court nowadays, and many officials have not returned from leave. The DPRK and China are short of manpower, so where can they send high-grade officials to Runing to do business? Runing's matter, after all, is not a big deal. ”
Speaking of which, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was really quite free, and whoever felt tired of working would take a leave of absence from the court. Saying that you are sick, or that there are aunts and aunts in the family who are sick, and then you can rest, this is called "begging for leave". As for how long the vacation is, it's entirely up to you to stay as long as you want. Sometimes the emperor was in a hurry and sent people to the officials' hometowns to urge people to go to work. People replied to the letter, saying that there was something wrong, and they couldn't go back for the time being, and they could drag on for a year and a half.
If you encounter a father's funeral or a mother's funeral, this leave is even more useless, and you can't go to work if you want to stay in the system for 27 months. At that time, Zhang Juzhenggui was the first assistant, but because his father did not take a vacation, he was criticized by the courtiers for being indecent. Abide by this rule. For workaholics like Zhang Juzheng, it is a kind of helplessness, and for most other officials who make a living, it is completely welfare.
According to the regulations, in addition to not being able to come out to be an official during the period of observance. They can't socialize, they can't hold celebrations, they can't contribute to population growth. But in fact, the officials don't care about anything other than the first one, it's just 27 months of paid leave, and they only hate that their parents are too few to continue to create this kind of opportunity for themselves to take long vacations.
It is precisely because of the large number of officials who take leave that there is indeed a shortage of manpower in the imperial court. Wang Xijue proposed to send a high-level official to Runing Mansion, but Shen Shixing was the first to refuse, counting the head, who can spare spare time? Besides, in that kind of poor place where birds don't lay eggs, which official is willing to endure hardship?
"If this is the case, then we have to adopt the second method of the minister." Wang Xijue said that he actually knew that the former method was used to gag everyone's mouths, and what he really wanted to say was the second method: "In order to ensure the effectiveness of the inspection of Runing, Su Hao's official position must be promoted." ”
"How to get promoted?" Wu Boxing was anxious, he recommended Su Hao to go to Runing Mansion, originally wanting to make Su Hao find some trouble, so that Wang Xijue could go around three times and two times, but this matter actually became the reason for Su Hao's promotion, how could this be tolerated.
"Scholar Wang, this Su Hao was originally a six-grade official, and his experience in being transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate is also a six-grade, which is just right. If you want to be promoted, why don't you promote him to the imperial history of the capital? This...... That's outrageous, isn't it? Wu Boxing said.
The official position setting in the Metropolitan Procuratorate is indeed problematic, the experience is six products, and the next level is the imperial history of the capital, but it is four products. Su Hao went to Runing Mansion to run an errand with the rank of a six-rank official, which is indeed a bit of a small official. But it would be too exaggerated to say that he would be promoted to the fourth grade in one step. Even Wanli and Wang Xijue did not dare to make such a suggestion.
"In this way, give Su Hao the title of a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, in order to be from the fifth grade, which is equivalent to the grade of Zhizhou, he has to go down to the state and county to do something, so he doesn't have to worry about Zhizhou being embarrassed with him." Shen Shixing clapped the board.
At this point, there is no objection from everyone. Although Wanli and Wang Xijue felt that Su Hao's official rank was still a bit low, in such an environment, it was useless for them to fight hard, and they might bring more hatred to Su Hao. As for the other courtiers, everyone thinks more about how big a heel Su Hao will plant when he goes to Runing Mansion, and now give him the title of a bachelor-in-waiting, and then take it off for him after he finishes planting, wouldn't it be a very happy thing?
"Mr. Wang, do you think he will be able to open up the situation by letting Su Hao go to Runing Mansion?" After retiring from the dynasty, Wanli left Wang Xijue and discussed with him.
Wang Xijue shook his head and said, "The minister can't say for sure." Su Hao and his people are eclectic, and what others can't do, maybe in his hands will be the latest chapter of the arrogant and arrogant Venerable. The minister thought that it would be good to send him to try, and if he couldn't do it, he could also suppress his temperament and make him more mature. ”
"That's all there is to it." Wanli sighed, "Why do they have to embarrass the people I like? ”
"The saint doesn't have to worry, maybe Su Hao can live up to the high expectations of the saint, come up with achievements, and give these people a resounding slap in the face." Wang Xijue persuaded.
Wanli said: "I'm just worried that just giving him a title from the fifth grade, he is still struggling." As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, he is still young, his foundation is shallow, and there is no title that can deter people, how can he succeed? ”
Wang Xijue said: "It's okay, doesn't he still have a survey battalion?" Let the military department give an order, and allow him to lead the survey battalion to go to the post together, and at a critical time, he can use the apex if he has soldiers in hand. ”
"Okay." Wanli nodded, "By the way, Mr. Wang, what do you think if I give Su Hao the title of Qincha?" ”
Wang Xijue thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid something is wrong." After all, Su Hao is still young, if he has too much power, he is afraid that he will abuse it, and it will bring trouble to the saint at that time. If the saint is not at ease, give him a holy decree to protect himself, and that's it. ”
"What Mr. Wang said is reasonable, so I will send someone to give him a secret decree." Wanli replied.
A few days later, the eunuch Jiang Di came to Huai'an Mansion with Wanli's secret decree and met Su Hao. Jiang Di conveyed Wanli's instructions to Su Hao, and in accordance with Li Long's instructions, he repeated the contents of the arguments in the court to Su Hao, so that Su Hao knew the cause and effect of sending him to Runing Mansion. Jiang Di finally handed over the secret decree prepared by Wanli to Su Hao secretly, and after Su Hao read it, he asked Cheng Yi to put it away, which was his talisman in Runing Mansion.
After Jiang Di finished announcing his decree, he did not return to the capital, but stayed in the survey camp. The Kanyu camp is now a battalion barracks, and it is common sense that it is necessary to set up eunuchs for the supervising army, and Jiang Di is the eunuch sent by the inner court. However, Jiang Di also told Su Hao that his master Li Long had explained to him that Su Hao had the final say on all the affairs of the Kanyu Camp, and he was just a decoration. Of course, if Su Hao wanted to lead the army to rebel, Jiang Di would definitely not ignore it, this is the role of the prison army.
Hearing that Su Hao was going to Runing on an order, Han Wen was both happy and worried. He knew more about the affairs of the court than Su Hao, and knew that sending Su Hao to Runing was the result of someone giving Su Hao eye medicine, so he was a little worried. What he is happy about is that Su Hao's grade has risen by half a level, and in addition, the experience of serving in the Hanlin Academy is also very beneficial to Su Hao's future career development.
As for what Su Hao's errand in Runing can do, Han Wen is not too worried. He believed that with Su Hao's talent, he would definitely not achieve nothing in Runing. Runing is a mess in the first place, as long as you have some political achievements, you can be regarded as completing the mission. This is not only Hangul's idea, Wanli and Wang Xijue also think so.
Hearing that Su Hao was leaving Huai'an Mansion, the people of all prefectures and counties came, and they brought eggs, bacon, red dates, peanuts, step shoes, insoles and all other gifts that could express their hearts. Deng Kui urgently transferred 200 soldiers to guard outside the yamen, and finally there was no trouble.
Su Hao came to Huai'an Mansion in the early winter of Wanli 18, and left in the early spring of Wanli 19, which is more than half a year. However, in the past six months or so, he first exterminated the bandits and robbers who ravaged Huai'an, then recovered the land occupied by the powerful landlords for the vast number of landless peasants, and finally investigated and punished the evil officials on the river, and recovered the extorted wages for tens of thousands of river workers. In addition, Huai'an Mansion used the confiscated Haoqiang land in Qingzhang to resettle thousands of displaced people, and this credit naturally has Su Hao's share.
The common people are the most simple, and whoever is good to them, they will support them, regardless of whether you are a scholar or an imperial party or a eunuch. Su Hao has done so many good things for the people, and now that he is leaving Huai'an, how can those people who have been helped by him not come to see him off?
After a few busy days, Su Hao finally set off with the survey camp. Han Wen took the officials of the government office to the gate of the city in person, and then climbed to the top of the city, and watched the survey camp go away. As for the people, they chased them until they were ten miles outside the city before they reluctantly stopped. Of course, the people they sent were not only Su Hao, but also the 2,000 soldiers that Su Hao took away from Huai'an.
