"Shen Yichen is the official of the military department to receive the rank of East Pavilion University, how can the cabinet be integrated?"

Yang Hongze and the others, who were standing behind Shen Yichen, had expressions full of disbelief on their faces, obviously the royal family was afraid of this son, and the queen mother even made it clear that he wanted him to be promoted to a bachelor of Hanlin and enter the cabinet at the cost of giving up military power.

As a result, not only did he not take away the military power, but he also awarded the title of Scholar of the Imperial Court, and stepped into the threshold of the cabinet in half a step.

The way of the king is the most important balance, even if the new monarch has not received the emperor's education, don't you even understand this truth?

I'm afraid that I want to cultivate a powerful minister with my own hands?

"From the dragon's work! That's the reward from the dragon's work! ”

He Pingyan, who had always been more steady and calm, instantly turned red, he thought that with the help of the power of his uncle Wang Zhi and Ma Yu's henchmen, he could step into the cabinet one step ahead of Shen Yichen and gradually narrow the gap between the two.

It can even take advantage of the royal family's fear of "rebellious ministers" to suppress the other party step by step with the help of the central power of the imperial court, so as to complete the reversal of the status of the two sides.

But he never thought that Shen Yichen would be able to rise to the top, and with the help of Zhu Qiyu, the king of the Emperor, he officially stepped into the ranks of cabinet ministers, and the gap between the two sides became more and more wide.

Why can this kind of thing be encountered by Shen Yichen, is he really destiny?

Compared with He Pingyan and the others, the expressions on the faces of Shang Zhen and Xiao Yi were extremely excited. How can you not be happy for him to watch his former friend take charge of the world step by step and move towards the ideal world in his heart?

Due to the current situation of the great enemy, the enthronement ceremony ended in a hurry, and as Zhu Qiyu left from the Fengtian Hall first, the civil and military ministers who stood on the Dan Majesty and Dan Qi in the square outside the hall also dispersed.

In the face of such a great change in the pattern of the imperial court, everyone has some worries in their hearts.

It stands to reason that Shen Yichen has been promoted to the rank of official, and he is so young and has unlimited potential, and those who don't know the civil and military officials should come over to congratulate and mix up their popularity.

As a result, many people looked at Shen Yichen when they left, their faces were full of hesitation, and they still didn't make up their minds to come over to congratulate them. Only people who are familiar with each other, such as Qian Xili and Gao Qian, expressed their congratulations when they passed by Shen Yichen's side.

The reason is that sometimes the "grace" is too much, but it makes people a little unbelievable, thinking that there is something hidden behind it.

Maybe watching Shen Yichen rise to the top today, he will fall to the bottom tomorrow, and he will be too close before the situation is clear, and it is easy to implicate himself.

"Young Sima, congratulations."

Ni Qian, who had been standing in front of Shen Yichen, arched his hand at this moment, and said in a calm tone.

"The seniors in charge of the academy, the juniors don't dare to be the honorific title of young Sima."

Although he was once used by Ni Qian to repair "Huanyu Tongzhi", Shen Yichen never held a grudge against the other party, and there was not even a little estrangement.

Because Shen Yichen knows very well that Ni Qian is a real literati, he has his own integrity and judging standards, not to suppress dissidents.

"The Hanlin Academy is divided into seniors and juniors, and now that Shao Sima has joined the military department, he should be called by the rank of officialdom, don't be polite."

"Yes, Master."

Shen Yichen was not hypocritical, and immediately changed to the title of officialdom.

Listening to Shen Yichen's rapid change of title, Ni Qian said with a surging smile on his face: "When you return from the town, you still haven't changed." ”

"How has the Master of the Academy ever changed?"

Shen Yichen understood what the other party wanted to express, and at the same time, he was also very glad that in the turbid officialdom, there was still a group of people who always stuck to their original intentions.

There is just such a group of people, no matter how cloudy the sky is, there will always be a ray of sunshine to break through the haze!

"To the north, I always remember what you said about the deeds."

"Now that you are in a high position, you can control the life and death of thousands of people with your gestures, remember what is the right way and what is the crooked way!"

At the beginning, Ni Qian thought that Shen Yichen had taken the wrong path in order to take refuge in the eunuch Wang Zhen, so he warned him to get lost and return to the right path.

At that time, Shen Yichen didn't make any excuses, but just asked rhetorically what is the right way and what is the crooked way?

Now Ni Qian can't see through the path that Shen Yichen has taken, so he can only use this sentence to remind him of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and there must be no mistakes in every step.

"I'll keep it in mind."

"Okay."

Ni Qian responded briefly, and then arched his hand and left in a dashing manner.

Almost as soon as Ni Qian left on the front foot, Shang Lu and Xiao Yi surrounded him, and said with a smile on their faces: "Congratulations to the north, I will call you Shao Sima in the future." ”

The two of them have not seen Shen Yichen for almost two years, but the friendship between gentlemen is like water, even if they are thousands of miles apart, the friendship in their hearts has not weakened in the slightest.

"Don't make a fuss between the two of you, you don't have time to visit after you return to Beijing, I hope you will forgive me!"

Shen Yichen also replied jokingly, he has been really busy in the past few days, and he has to properly settle the soldiers who have retreated to the Beijing Division, and also have to sort out the list of the dead and missing, as well as various condolences to the families of the wounded.

Especially looking at the scenes of white-haired people sending black-haired people, Shen Yichen didn't have any intention to contact Jingshi's old friend at all. If he can be promoted to the position of the squire of the military department today, isn't it a success?

"How have you been doing for the past two years?"

Shang Shi put away the smile on his face and asked a little emotionally. He had already seen the scars on Shen Yichen's arms and face, and knew the hardships and hardships that the other party had experienced.

"It's bitter, but it's happy."

In front of his friends, Shen Yichen didn't want to hide anything, in order to realize the promise of taking the world as his own responsibility on the banks of the Zhenjiang Mansion, and in order to reverse the decline of the entire nation after Tumubao, he really tried his best.

Fortunately, the direction of the giant wheel of history has finally shown traces of change.

"What about you, how are you staying in the Hanlin Academy?"

Shen Yichen asked rhetorically.

"On weekdays, I am cultivating books and writing essays, and sometimes I really want to be like you to the north, lifting a three-foot sword and making immortal achievements!"

Xiao Yi's tone was full of a yearning, the Ming Dynasty at this moment is not a completely derogatory term, he is also from Hanlin, Shen Yichen's experience is indeed much more wonderful than that of himself and others.

"If you want to make immortal achievements, there are opportunities in the future, and it may even be right in front of you."

Shen Yichen replied, he actually had an immature idea in his heart.

"To the north, what do you mean by that?"

"Join the household department."

Xiao Yi was born in a peasant family, without a deep background and family background, and entered the Hanlin Academy from Shu Jishi, and the starting point was naturally lower than the first and second first.

Historically, the Ming Dynasty began with Li Xian during the Tianshun period, and the cabinet began to have a clear division between the first and second assistants, and the order of entering the cabinet will also determine the status and power.

Even if the journey is smooth, if Xiao Yi wants to get into the top-ranked cabinet position, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve it in his lifetime, and it is more likely that he will waste time in the Hanlin Academy.

With an inappropriate score, this is like a high-achieving student from Tsinghua University and Peking University in the future, who crushed three majors at the starting point of entry. If you want to achieve the same thing, you need to work hard and have opportunities.

The household department is in charge of money, and now the capital is extremely short of food and clothing, the fundamental reason is not that there is actually nothing, on the contrary, even if natural disasters and man-made disasters continue during the orthodox dynasty, relying on the afterglow of the dynasty's prosperity, and being able to make the major granaries reserve above the safety line.

The reason for the lack of food and clothing is more due to the lack of transportation capacity and scheduling, and all the grain and grass are backlogged in the canal and Tongzhou warehouse, and they cannot be transported at all.

If it is just that it cannot be delivered to the Beijing Division, after the Mongol army arrives in the city, will they let go of the Tongzhou Warehouse, which is close at a short time?

At that time, countless grains and grass materials will become the enemy's resource reserves.

But even if the situation is so critical, the decision-making of the DPRK and China is still mainly based on the transfer of the Qin Wang army from all walks of life, and the grain and grass are placed in a secondary position, and it is difficult to say that this has nothing to do with guarding against Shen Yichen.

Even in the past two days, some ministers in the court said that it would be better to burn down the Tongzhou warehouse, so that everyone is not better than the lack of food in the Jingshi family.

If Xiao Yi can be ordered to do a good job in the task of transporting Tongzhou's military rations, then there is no need to work hard for the qualifications of the seventh-grade official position in Hanlin, at least with this merit, it is no problem to be promoted to the fifth-grade household department.

In addition, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and in the life-and-death decisive battle between Shen Yichen and the Mongolian iron cavalry in the future, it is very necessary for the household logistics to have trustworthy people!

Joining the household department?

Hearing Shen Yichen's suggestion, Xiao Yi was a little confused.

You must know that Hanlin's identity is noble, and many times if you are lucky, you will have the opportunity to join the cabinet and participate in the maintenance of the machine.

One step further, he became a cabinet minister and soared into the sky!

If you choose to go through the six ministries to enter the cabinet, then it will be much more difficult, especially as the boundaries of the cabinet are becoming more and more clear, it is almost rare for the ministers with real power to enter the cabinet to participate in the preparatory affairs.

According to the common theory, unless there is no hope of promotion after many years of hard work, you will choose to join the Sixth Department or go out of the town of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to get the last pension money to retire. Otherwise, at Xiao Yi's age, he could have gambled on the opportunity to become a pavilion elder in the Hanlin Academy.

However, Xiao Yi believed that Shen Yichen would not harm himself, and after only a moment of stunned, he nodded and agreed: "Xiangbei, since you said that you want me to join the household department, then you must have a reason, I am willing to go!" ”

"Okay, I'll help you unblock it as soon as possible."

After that, Shen Yichen looked at Shang Shi and said: "Brother Hongzai, with your talents, you should also not waste time in the Hanlin Academy, I will suggest to the senior pavilion and the master that you will work with He Pingyan and others to enter the cabinet to participate in the pre-aircraft service!" ”

Shen Yichen knows very well that the military power in his hands comes from the extraordinary period of the war, once the Ming Empire has passed the crisis of the fall of the Jingshi, then the imperial court will no longer be able to tolerate such unscrupulous disobedience.

After all, he is a civilian official, even if he joins the military department, he cannot directly govern the soldiers and horses like a military general, and one day he will have to stand at a higher level to deal with important military and political affairs.

If you want to sit back and relax after leaving the army, you must cultivate your own power in the DPRK and China, so that the emperor or political enemies will feel jealous and dare not tear your face and settle accounts.

A general in the army, Shen Yichen believes that after experiencing life and death, they will only look forward to their own horses. Relying on the protégé power of Qian Xili, who is above the court, is far from enough to contend with the civil official group behind He Pingyan and others.

In particular, the Ministry of Mutiny, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry were killed, and the Ma Yu and his party, which had been in contact, would quickly rise to power and form a greater force.

The six ministries must have their own people, and the cabinet must also have them.

With the talent of businessman, Shen Yichen believes that he will definitely not lose to He Pingyan and Yang Hongze when he joins the cabinet to participate in the aircraft maintenance in the same batch.

It's ridiculous to say, Shen Yichen used to be the most disgusted in the middle and late Ming Dynasty for forming a party for personal gain, which eventually led to party strife and misery of the country.

As a result, he didn't expect that in order to protect himself, he had to do similar things to control the government, and the only difference may be that the goal is not for personal gain, but for public justice.

The dragon slayer eventually became an evil dragon, and the words that Shen Yichen once asked himself seemed to be fulfilled step by step.

I just don't know if I can break the cycle of fate at the end.

Just when Shen Yichen was discussing with Shang Yu and the others, a scarlet-robed eunuch leaned over and interrupted: "Our family is disturbed, I wonder if Admiral Shen can take a step to speak?" ”

The eunuch who said this can be called Shen Yichen's old acquaintance, and he is Cheng Jing who inspected the river workers during the flood control period in Shandong!

As a teacher in Zhu Qiyu's Qiandi period, now he has succeeded to the throne as the Ming Emperor, and Cheng Jing Natural Chicken Dog ascended to heaven and served as the internal official supervisor of the Twelve Prisons.

If it weren't for the fact that Jin Ying, the veteran eunuch of the Four Dynasties, was too qualified, and he was clever enough to stand on the side of Zhu Qiyu, the king of the courtesy, it might be that Cheng Jing would have replaced Wang Zhen as the master of ceremonies.

"Cheng's father-in-law invited, but it was disrespectful."

As the eunuch closest to the new monarch, even his experience is somewhat similar to Wang Zhen. Not to mention that the relationship between the two parties is not bad, even if they don't know each other, as long as Cheng Jing speaks, Shen Yichen will not be able to offend this "big celebrity".

The same Shang Shi and Xiao Yi also understood that the other party's identity was hot, and they all bowed their hands to Shen Yichen to say goodbye, leaving room for Cheng Jing to speak.

Looking at the backs of the two businessmen and walking out, Cheng Jing said with a smile on his face: "Farewell to Shandong, see Shao Sima today, it seems that the two of them are judged." ”

"The appearance will change, but the friendship between the father-in-law and the father-in-law will not change, and the lower officials will remember it."

In addition to the river investigation, Cheng Jing also undertook the important task of investigating the death of King Lu. However, in the end, with both parties knowing, they confirmed the guilt of King Lu's rebellion, which is equivalent to helping Shen Yichen eliminate the biggest hidden danger.

This friendship is not an exaggeration to call it a life-saving grace.

"It seems that Shao Sima has indeed not changed internally, and he is still so like a spring breeze."

Shen Yichen's deliberate words, how could Cheng Jing not hear it.

However, he took the initiative to mention the changes in Shandong back then, so why not bring up the origin of the two sides in the old matter?

After a few words of greeting, Cheng Jing's expression gradually became serious, and he said to Shen Yichen: "Young Sima, you should be very puzzled in your heart, why did you suddenly jump several levels in a row, and the official was promoted to the position of cabinet minister. ”

"Could it be related to Cheng's father-in-law?"

Shen Yichen asked tentatively, with Cheng Jing's experience and style, he can't be treated as an ordinary eunuch at all, but a thorough civil official!

"Shao Sima is worthy of being a three-yuan and first, and he can't hide anything from you."

"That's right, it was our family who recommended Shao Sima to His Majesty, and at the same time, I also hope to get back the favor of Shandong."

Cheng Jing's words are equivalent to piercing the window paper, bluntly saying that the death of King Lu was related to Shen Yichen.

At the same time, he can say this sentence, which means that the next entrusted thing is very important.

"Cheng Gong's words are serious, and the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring, as long as the official power is able, he will definitely not shirk!"

Shen Yichen hurriedly gave up his hand, in a sense, he could make the current Cheng Jing owe himself a favor, and the benefits brought by it were unimaginable.

"Our family needs Shao Sima to help His Majesty do something."
