Lin Jin came to Wu Jiugong and saw him lying on a rocking chair basking in the sun, and there was a small table next to the rocking chair, on which were tea fruits and a stack of papers, with a leisurely appearance, and couldn't help but say: "You are so leisurely, there is nothing to do in the Chamber of Commerce?" ”

Wu Jiugong glanced at her and sighed with a smile: "It's rare to steal half a day of leisure, and you will see it." ”

She sat down next to him, saw the paperwork on the small table, picked up one of the above, and said casually while reading: "Hey, what is it that I finally stole for a long time, you don't blush when you say this, I don't know how many times you have been here, every time you come, anyway, you have more free time, and when you are busy......"

Seeing the content of the official document in her hand, she couldn't help frowning, and said, "The list of old members of the imperial court will only be in my hands, why is the speed of the Chamber of Commerce so slow to deliver news?" ”

Wu Jiugong glanced at her, saw that she looked serious, not joking, and retorted: "Where is it slow, you look at the days above, it only took half a month to pass from Beijing to us, and now although the imperial court report has been issued, it is estimated that your father has not received it yet, and we have been several days in advance, why is it slow?" ”

Lin Jin took a closer look at the days when she heard this, because in her impression, it seemed that after Jia Yucun sent Daiyu to Jiafu, it seemed that she had found a position in Jinling Yingtianfu soon after, and because among these officials who had reinstated, she only knew Jia Yucun, and she was not very interested in the news of the reinstatement of relevant officials in the imperial court, so she thought that this matter had already been completed, but she didn't expect it to be decided until now, and couldn't help but say: "The news of the restoration of the old members of the imperial court is almost in September of the previous year, Why did you finish it until now, it's really grinding! ”

Wu Jiugong smiled: "Still slow? That's fast enough. You must know that although the imperial court has reinstated the old members, but compared to the number of officials who have lost their official positions and dismissed, the vacant positions in the imperial court are obviously not enough, and there are more monks and fewer porridge...... In short, it is a contest of all aspects.

Moreover, those ministers of the court, who do not have relatives and friends, who do not have a few candidates in their pockets, and who do not want their influence in the court to become greater, so this old member of the court who has risen and recovered is not only those who want to regain are competing, but also the courtiers are competing.

More important things, in addition to those old officials and courtiers, are still fighting between the emperor and the present. Although after the son ascended the throne, he opened a branch to obtain scholars, but even if the newly promoted jinshi is talented, he cannot be promoted beyond the ranks, so in the court, on the side of Jinshang, not only are there not many high-powered ministers, but even there are few middle-level officials.

In order to change this situation, the matter of reviving the old staff has been made. Although these old members were Jinshi who were taken by the emperor back then, most of them were also officials who were lost under the emperor, so even if they were not grateful for the kindness of today, they might not be on the emperor's side.

Although it is only neutral, it is good for Imajo to maintain a neutral position compared to the mid-level officials who stand on the emperor's side. Because, in this way, there will be fewer officials in the court who speak for the emperor. ”

Leaving Weiyang, all the way north, to the capital, about two thousand miles of road, if it is a dry road, calmly walk, it will be more than a month, but from the waterway, you have to walk for about three months, this is no way: the river is narrow and there are many boats, it is impossible to have a smooth journey, and often encounter the opening of the gate to release water.
