Chapter 697: The Way of the Great Officer

【 WWW.】, wonderful free reading!

Lan Ting has been busy for the past two days, and sure enough, there is no one to hide the spring return.

"Mrs. Li's business, why don't you do it for you?" Chungui didn't expect Uncle Zhao to shoot so quickly this time.

"If she doesn't have the surname Li, I will let her be ruined, but in the end, it is the daughter of my uncle's mother, and in the final analysis, if it weren't for the old lady who fanned the flames, the Li family would not be so frustrated, I came forward and completely broke her thoughts, and this matter could really be calmed down."

"I just have to waste some thought to settle her food." Chungui actually hurt her brain for a while because of how to deal with the aftermath, it's not that she didn't think about Tielingwei, but Tielingwei is too far away from the capital, and it is a bitter cold place, she doesn't have the ability to find a place for Li Wanyan in that place, and she can't let Li Wanyan lack food and clothing.

"This matter was actually discussed with my eldest cousin when I was in Fenyang." Lan Ting said: "Although the Li family insists on breaking up with the family, but the eldest cousin still takes into account the feelings of brotherhood, in the past, in addition to the Ma family in Tielingwei, there are also a few good friends and friends, you can ask friends and friends to take care of it, what I do is nothing more than to arrange people to escort on the way, and when I arrive in Tielingwei, tell the local officials not to let the Li family travel again." ”

Although the grandfather's family was pardoned and allowed to return to their hometown, Li Wanyan was the daughter of a marriage, so her household registration was still in Tielingwei, and later although she reconciled with the Ma family, but because of a falling out with her family, her aunt and Li Mu did not have the idea of moving her household registration back to Fenyang.

She could only stay in Tielingwei.

"The eldest aunt is also hurt enough by her, so it's okay, although the two places are separated, but I also know that she has no worries about food and clothing and still has a place to live, as long as there is no longer delusion, this life may not be peaceful, her two children are in Tielingwei, if she really has remorse, willing to make up for it, in a few years there will not be no children to worship."

Although Chungui doesn't look down on Li Wanyan's character, but like Lan Ting, he has a lot of trust in Ma Boshuo's character, although this marriage was tossed by Li Wanyan himself, although Ma Boshuo is dead to Li's heart, but he will not be resentful, even if the two can't continue the relationship, the Ma family should not stop Li Wanyan from seeing her two children, Li Wanyan must really have the intention of repenting, make up for the love of the children, and have children to worship in the future, it is not a lonely betrayal of relatives.

Of course, whether there is such a creation or not is all up to Li Wanyan himself.

Chun Gui completely forgot about this matter.

"Don't take a vacation until today, tomorrow will be worth it, right?"

"Yes, starting tomorrow, I'm afraid I will have to be idle for a while."

"Of course, I don't have to be idle, I only care about whether the dispatch of this deputy envoy will be handed over when he returns to Beijing, and now he is a hot minister of the East Palace, the emperor should give some tangible benefits, I'm afraid he is going to be promoted, right?" Chungui ridiculed Lan Ting.

"If you are promoted or not, in short, you will see tomorrow, I don't want to be promoted, and I don't rely on Fenglu who is an official to support my family." Lan Ting ridiculed the current salary system.

Speaking of the officials of this dynasty, compared with the previous dynasties, it is really a "new low", which is probably also from the time of Taizu to strictly prohibit the greed of ink, but even if there is a torture of peeling the skin and pulling the grass as a warning, corruption is still repeatedly banned One of the reasons, the real honest officials must pay a painful price - there was a Zhizhou, he was born poor, the original family only had the old mother and his husband and wife, before the examination for fame, relying on thrift to make a living, once into the official office, although there is a court salary, But he had to bear the clothing and rations of the official slaves allocated by the imperial court, and his life became more and more stretched, and later his wife gave birth to a son and a daughter, and the daughter starved to death, and his wife also suffered

If there is no medicine, please ask for medical treatment.

The integrity of officials with clean sleeves sometimes has to be sacrificed at the expense of their wives, children, and families.

Especially for those officials from humble backgrounds, it is even more difficult to stick to their integrity.

And in a family like Xuan Zhutang, there are not only children who are studying and entering, but also people in the clan who are good at running a family business to provide reliable economic security, so those who can eat and drink without corruption really do not account for the majority.

Lan Ting actually did not advocate the benevolence of high-ranking officials, but believed that it was necessary for the imperial court to ensure the basic supply and demand of officials.

In fact, the monarchy was not at the beginning of the founding of the country, the treasury was not short of food and money, and the royal family had long ignored the ancestral system formulated by Taizu, and I don't know what year and month it began to profligate, poor and extravagant. Before Emperor Hongfu, even the eunuchs and ministers in the palace who had a little face had a number of good fields and countless mansions under their names, but there was no need to say that there were frozen bones on the stinky road of Zhumen's wine and meat, and even many law-abiding officials who were self-denying and law-abiding had even struggled with poverty and hunger.

Since the imperial court is meager, it can't require officials to maintain official authority and support officials, slaves and maids, isn't this forcing officials to be corrupt?

It is far from enough to just picket and corrupt ink in reform, and it is necessary to reform the system in a practical way.

This is a clear thing, but it is even more difficult to implement, why it is so difficult and dangerous, and some contradictions and reasons even Lan Ting has no clue for a while.

And for the promotion, he really doesn't have much wishes, and now he is the age of the crown, and he is already a well-known close minister of the East Palace, the limelight is already big enough, it must be the tree that shows off in the forest, but there is a storm, so he is the target, if he can choose, Lan Ting really does not want to make such a move, but he also knows that this can't be chosen.

His background is destined not to follow the path of a staff member, and if he wants to achieve his ambitions, he must lead the wave.

As a result, the new appointment is the Imperial History of the Right Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

jumped into the court of the second grade.

Coincidentally, at this time, Lanting and Bao Wenhan, who has the reputation of Changzhigong, have become a relationship of confrontation.

To say that since the establishment of the Imperial Palace, although the system has been led by the left and right imperial history, mutual checks and balances, but as early as the time of the ancestors, the right capital imperial history has been granted by the local governor, that is to say, the head of the imperial court is actually in the hands of the left capital imperial history, to the Hongfu Dynasty, the right capital imperial history was even vacant for a time, and now the exception of the new award, actually breaking the old rule that this position needs to be led by a 30-year-old experienced veteran, I am afraid that even Bao Wenhan himself never thought that he would be in his early twenties young "balance".

What's more important is that Lan Ting and the crown can be promoted to the second rank at the age of the crown, and if they are not deposed in the future, they must only be called promoted if they enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister.

Although there have been many kings in this dynasty, there is only one case of Lan Ting who is so young and in a high position.

This appointment can be described as unexpected by everyone, including Xu Jin and Shen Cassia Ming.

This also includes the crown prince.

"The strategy of discussing with Gu Yiren is indeed effective for Pan Cungu, Jiao Xing has heard that Bao Wenhan is the key person in the Pan family, so when my father asked me if I had any thoughts on the matter of conferring the position, I proposed to let me go to the Imperial Procuratorate, but at most I thought that it was just a position to confer the position of Imperial History of the Dudu, but I didn't expect it...... In short, it is really unexpected that he can fight with Bowenhan this time. ”

"It seems that although the emperor is unwilling to promote the rebellion of the wall, he also expects that the battle for the storage position will not be completely subsided because the name has been decided, and put me on the cusp of the storm, just so that I can go through more trials and tribulations and become a powerful helper of His Royal Highness earlier." Lan Ting was very helpless about being so aggressive.

"About ...... I also want to try Bowenham's position. The prince analyzed.

Lan Ting's head agreed: "Looking at it this way, the emperor may plan to investigate whether Bao Wenhan can enter the cabinet." ”

In today's cabinet, Yuan Ji has not been convicted again

Fill in the gaps, Xu Jin is the first assistant, Shen Cassia Ming, Guo Li, Li Qianyuan is secondary, the three of them are all subordinated to Xu Jin, the situation of the cabinet is actually not in line with the emperor's checks and balances, so Emperor Hongfu is not in a hurry to fill in the cabinet ministers, and the people he intends to select should be those who surrender to the prince and do not blindly obey Xu Jin.

Bao Wenhan has a reputation for being upright, and what Emperor Hongfu investigated was whether Bao Wenhan surrendered to the East Palace.

Therefore, the promotion of Lan Ting seems to put pressure on Bao Wenhan, and the remnants of the Yuan Party in the court, or the officials who are still loyal to the King of Qin, will spare no effort to win over Bao Wenhan and the prince's camp to confront each other, and the stakes are in front of him, so Bao Wenhan has to choose to take sides.

This is actually not a good thing for Lanting.

The East Palace has been decided, and the situation has changed.

To put it bluntly, Lan Ting and Bao Wenhan are incompatible, but for the prince, there is no life-and-death duel, unless Bao Wenhan's future behavior is enough to become a threat to the prince, and he must be an enemy, so he should be eradicated.

But no one can tell how Bao Wenhan or even the Wei State Guild will move, they are not without room for retreat.

There is no way back is Lan Ting.

It seems that the most difficult period has passed, but the most insidious and unpredictable second half is at the foot of the eyes.

The crown prince is no longer the king of Zhou.

The more the Son of Heaven values the prince, the sooner the prince will consider the trade-off.

This is also the art of the emperor.

On the day of the spring return, I finally made an appointment with Mrs. Yi to go to the prince's mansion, which was actually the former Zhou Wangfu.

Although the storage position was set, the canonization ceremony was not summoned, so the prince and his relatives still had not yet moved into Ciqing Palace, Mingzhu greeted him in front of the Hanging Flower Gate with a smile, supported Mrs. Yi with one hand, and pulled Chungui with the other: "Mother and sister don't be polite, this is the ordinary narrative, and my family doesn't pay attention to those." ”

Chungui is naturally anxious to see the little emperor and grandson, and at first glance she feels unusually kind, in fact, in her dream, the child's eyebrows and eyes have not been seen clearly, not as intuitive as at this moment, but she understands that such a sense of acquaintance is not her illusion, nor is it because the child's facial features are similar to Mingzhu at this time.

Holding that warm and soft body, even if the sleeves are wet with saliva? Chungui didn't feel disgusted at all, knowing that at this time, the little older child would only laugh and cry, and still took the trouble to tease him and call him his aunt, obviously the child only made two meaningless syllables, and Chungui thought that the little nephew understood it.

Seeing that the little nephew was hungry and had a temper, he was willing to hand over the child to the nurse.

Only then did he have the pearl that was "snubbed" for a while: "I am preparing for the canonization ceremony, and Sister Ming is afraid that she will not be busy, right?" Is it all going well? ”

In fact, Chungui also knew that things such as preparing for the ceremony would not let Mingzhu, the crown princess, do it alone, and the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette and Honglu Temple in the foreign dynasty would do the planning, and there would be Concubine Jing in charge of the palace, and even the prince's mansion would also have the assistance of the ministers and the chief history department, and there was no unsmooth situation.

In the final analysis, I wanted to ask if Tao Fanglin took advantage of her pregnancy to make waves.

Mingzhu really took over: "There are no twists and turns in the ceremony, only an accident in the inner mansion...... Originally, when His Royal Highness was in Nanjing, because of Tao Cairen's recommendation, he allowed Shuniang to serve by his side, I think she is indeed a proper person, and His Royal Highness intends to give her a name, so he first let her serve in the main room for a while, and then promote her to serve after the canonization ceremony, how do you know...... She actually intended to be unfavorable to Ah Li, His Royal Highness was furious, and ordered her to be sold, Tao Cairen was frightened because of this, these days in bed, I was worried that it would affect the fetus in Tao Cairen's womb. ”

Ah Li is the milk name of the little emperor's grandson, so Mrs. Yi and Chun Gui were shocked when they heard this.
