The bigwigs of the Ming Cabinet are busy planning for the new world. And in the larger administrative system of imperial officialdom, every official will become busier because of the various new plans that have been pressed down from above.

At this time, few people will ponder how to inherit the wisdom of their predecessors and use the power in their hands to seek their own interests.

Because of the hectic administrative tasks, everyone seems exhausted. At least. In Yingtian City, the center of power of the Ming Dynasty, the officials are like this.

Wang Xinling, who served as the governor of the political envoy department at a young age, was secretly regarded by his colleagues in the yamen as a political star of the next era of the court.

Being young is not all capital, but more importantly, the existence represented behind Wang Xinling. His predecessor, Bai Yuxiu, the former governor of the General Political Envoy Division, was promoted again to the post of Commander of the Ministry of Officials.

Although the official quality is not high, the power in Bai Yuxiu's hands can already cover the entire Ming civil official system.

Everyone knows that as long as the next three-year Jingcha arrives, Bai Yuxiu will inevitably continue to be promoted to become a servant of the Ministry of Officials, continue to select and clear the Department of Officials, and on this basis, he will take charge of the functions and powers of the First Division of the Ministry of Officials.

Maybe three or five years later, the person in the seat of the Ming Dynasty will change his surname to Bai. In less than ten years, the official position is the second grade of the Ministry of Shangshu.

With such a speed of promotion, it is difficult to find a hand among the nearly 30,000 officials in the entire empire.

So as Bai Yuxiu's successor, Wang Xinling's future is naturally a sure thing. Since the end of the Northern Expedition, there have been some rumors within the General Political Envoy Department that Wang Xinling may be transferred to the Ministry of Officials, or he will be promoted to the Ministry of Ministers and become one of the Nine Qing Envoys.

Either way, it's all promising. However. Wang Xinling only felt that he was lacking in skills now.

In the young official's heart, he wished that one day could be used as two days, and that one person would be divided into two people to do things.

The country is getting stronger and stronger, but it is getting busier and busier. When the rising sun had just crossed Zhongshan and sprinkled into Yingtian City, Wang Xinling had already appeared in front of the Yamen of the General Political Envoy with a bunch of cases brought home last night.

"Governor Wang, how can today be earlier than yesterday?" The officer who was guarding in front of the yamen looked at Wang Xinling walking up the steps with a smile on his face, stepped forward with great enthusiasm, and took the pile of cases in the other party's arms.

Wang Xinling yawned and arched his hand: "I'm tired." It's not because I'm stupid and slower than anyone else, so I can only come to the yamen earlier. The officer smiled, of course he could not believe this.

Wang Xinling was sent to the governor's office, and the messenger said that he wanted to go out and bring tea and other things to the governor.

Wang Xinling thanked him as usual, and sat at the table to sort out the case he brought. When it was already bright outside, and the officials of the headquarters and departments who could enter the court to participate in the court meeting returned, the yamen of the general political envoy department began to be really lively.

And at this time, it was time for Wang Xinling to go out. As the important state statutes were summarized in front of Wang Xinling, the classification work began simultaneously.

If it is sent to the local area, it will be handed over to the fast horse and set off immediately along the official road. Those sent to the yamen of the various ministries and departments in Beijing should be handed over to the officials, clerks, officials, and even Wang Xinling himself according to the priority of the matter.

After distributing the piles of documents in front of him, he watched everyone go out of the yamen. Only then did Wang Xinling pick out a few documents that he needed to deliver in person, and held them in his arms.

"Governor Wang, today the back kitchen of the Yamen will make stir-fried beef, stewed chicken, duck, and a few stir-fried wild vegetables, you have to come back and eat after the work is done." The messenger stood at the gate of the yamen and shouted at Wang Xinling's back.

Wang Xinling didn't look back, just moved, raised a hand and shook it. Since the end of the Northern Expedition, the Daqing City under Daqing Mountain has continued to grow taller, and the beef and mutton in Yingtian City have become more and more.

The common people are not the main purchasing power now, so they are cheaper than the officials of the various ministries and yamen in Beijing.

In this way, it can be regarded as another preferential treatment of officials by the imperial court. Standing on Baihu Street in front of the yamen, Wang Xinling glanced at Chongli Street to the south.

I thought about what I was going to do today. Wang Xinling planned to go to the Sixth Department on Qinglong Street first, and then go to the Huitong Pavilion closest to the General Political Envoy when he returned.

After deciding the route, Wang Xinling walked with the case documents in his arms. In Yingtian City, after passing Tongjimen Street, to the east is the official office of the imperial court, Yamen, which is the administrative center of the Ming Dynasty.

On the road, few people will run over with nothing to do, and then be questioned by the officers and soldiers of the Terracotta Division. Along the way, there were all civil and military officials from various ministries and departments, and they all looked like they were in a hurry.

At this time, the court meeting in the palace has just ended, and it is the busiest time of the day. It was not until after noon, after the officials of the various ministries and departments and yamen had eaten, that there was a little time for officialdom to have exchanges.

Wang Xinling arrived at Qinglong Street, walked all the way to the north, and soon arrived at the ministry. As soon as he walked to the yamen of the official department, the messenger guarding the yamen immediately recognized Wang Xinling, the governor of the general political envoy department.

"Governor Wang is here." Wang Xinling raised his head, blinked, and immediately stepped forward to hold the case document in his arms for him.

The messenger asked again: "Does Governor Wang go to the secretary hall first or look for Bai Langzhong?" "The Secretariat is the agency responsible for the daily operation of the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, and there are all six departments.

Wang Xinling shook his head: "I have nothing to do with the Ministry of Officials today, so I just asked the Wenxuan Division to explain a few things." The messenger nodded knowingly: "The little Governor of the Leader has passed, Bai Langzhong has just come back from discussing things with Zhai Pavilion in the cabinet, and he is in the class room." The two of them were one in front of the other, one was walking, the other was sideways, and they arrived outside the room of the Ministry of Officials.

Wang Xinling entered the class room, glanced left and right, and saw that most of the seats were empty, and only a few officials were immersed in reviewing all kinds of documents.

In the innermost compartment, a young official dressed in a green robe sat upright. It is today's Ministry of Officials, Wen Xuan, Qing Officials, Shilang, and Bai Yuxiu.

When he arrived at the door of the compartment, the messenger returned the case documents to Wang Xinling, and before leaving, he whispered to the compartment: "Langzhong, Governor Wang is here." Bai Yuxiu, who was looking down and flipping through a document, raised her head and looked at the familiar figure at the door, with a smile on her face.

Bai Yuxiu beckoned to Wang Xinling: "Come in quickly, remember to close the door, I just came with a bag of tea from the cabinet, and the black tea from Fujian is just right at this time." After that, Bai Yuxiu has already begun to dismantle the tea and boil water.

Wang Xinling was also not polite, and sat directly opposite Bai Yuxiu. He picked out a few copies from the top of the case he brought and handed them to Bai Yuxiu, and glanced at the teapot next to him that had begun to emit white smoke.

"Senior Bai has been in the cabinet all day long, and the cabinet elders are not angry?" Bai Yuxiu raised her eyebrows: "The elders of the pavilion are busy with the affairs of the military society all day long, and they won't notice if I pass something." Besides, good things will break sooner or later wherever they are placed, so it's better for me to help the elders digest them. As she spoke, Bai Yuxiu had already poured tea for Wang Xinling and herself.

The crimson tea soup is soaked in the white tea cup, which looks extraordinarily beautiful. The tea soup is rippling, and the tea gas is overflowing.

Wang Xinling raised his eyebrows, this black tea can't be broken. can only say that he, Senior Bai, is deeply loved by the elders.

"There is nothing major today, just a few cases of promotion and demotion that the Department of Literature and Anthology should quickly review the signatures and draw the charges, and stabilize the local situation as soon as possible." After taking a sip of tea, Wang Xinling got down to business.

Bai Yuxiu casually flipped through a document and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"The prefect of Chengdu and the prefect of Lintao want to be replaced? Is the imperial court sure that it is going to use troops against the Western Regions and the plateau? Wang Xinling pouted: "Xie Pavilion wants to build the Western Railway, and the imperial court wants to reproduce the Silk Road in the Western Regions, so it is inevitable to use troops against the Western Regions and the plateau, otherwise the trade route cannot be guaranteed, and you haven't heard the news in the cabinet?" Bai Yuxiu shook her shoulders: "In the past few days, the elders of the pavilion have been discussing the affairs of the New World, and I can memorize the book of what I have seen and heard, and I don't see the elders of the pavilion changing the topic. I don't know what to discuss. ”

"That's not what you can do right now." Wang Xinling silently read a sentence, and then picked up the teapot and poured tea for himself.

Bai Yuxiu wrote a few names on the document to replace the prefects of Chengdu Mansion and Lintao Mansion, and said casually: "Since you want to use troops in the northwest, then send some officials who are interested in learning and officials who know the soldiers." Even with it, the officials of several surrounding prefectures and counties should also adjust, and I will enter the palace later and explain to Zhai Ge. Wang Xinling kept silent, this was Bai Yuxiu's own errand, and it had nothing to do with himself.

As Bai Yuxiu spoke, she had already recorded a few lines of small characters behind the names she had written down as supplementary explanations.

Then he opened another paperwork.

"Yongshun military and civilian propaganda and consolation Si Shengsheng? When did this happen? The toast over there is going to rebel again? Wang Xinling glanced up slightly, moved his mouth and said: "Not only Yongshun, but also Sinan Dao, Sizhou, Baojingzhou, Pingyue, Longli, Xintian, Banzhou, Yongning, Zhizhou and other Xuanwei Divisions have all had popular uprisings. Just below this book, it's all written clearly, you look at it quickly, and choose the alternate officials cleanly, once the imperial court wants to send troops to pacify and re-elect officials, you just hand over the list directly. Bai Yuxiu hurriedly opened the documents of several cases below, and the expression on her face became more and more exciting.

"The entire western part of Huguang Province and the eastern part of Sichuan Province are in chaos? What does Guizhou Dusi do to eat? Wang Xinling coughed lightly: "The people did not attack the government, let alone attack the guards and horses, they all went to the local local officials, and it was difficult for the Guizhou Metropolitan Division to manage this matter, so they could only play the court truthfully." ”

"Why is that?" Bai Yuxiu became more and more puzzled. According to past experience, the people in the southwest region such as the Xuanwei Division rebelled, but they all came to the imperial court.

How did it become infighting this time. Wang Xinling thought for a while and said what he had learned: "As far as I know, it is these people of the Propaganda Department who feel that the local officials have deceived them and seized the benefits that should be theirs, so they made a fuss. The local officials felt that this was their own matter, so they all wanted to solve it themselves, so they did not go to the court. has been back and forth, and it has been more than half a year since the beginning of the trouble. If it weren't for the fears of the surrounding prefectures and counties and the capital of Guizhou, it would eventually lead to a major civil uprising because of the long-term turmoil, which would implicate them, I am afraid we would not have known about it. Bai Yuxiu frowned: "The southwest can't be messed up." Seeing that the imperial court is likely to determine the use of troops on the plateau and the Western Regions, if there is chaos in the southwest at this time, the forces of Sichuan Dao and Sichuan Xingdu Division will inevitably be contained. Wang Xinling stood up, drank a cup of tea, and patted his buttocks.

"It's a matter for the big guys."

"By the way, there are a few documents related to the election of officials in the four provinces of Yingzhou, and the selected person can be sent directly to the cabinet for approval."

"I'm going to go around other yamen, you're busy." After speaking, Wang Xinling didn't care about the worries of his seniors, and left quickly.

Looking at the empty seat in front of her, Bai Yuxiu smiled helplessly. When it was almost noon, Wang Xinling walked from Qinglong Street to Chongli Street.

Rush back to Baihu Street, continue to walk north, and after passing the Jinyi Wei Yamen, you will arrive at West Chang'an Street. To the east is the right gate of Chang'an to enter the palace.

Wang Xinling, on the other hand, went west. Less than Datong Street, there is a bridge over the moat on the right-hand side. Opposite is the Huitong Building.

It's just that he can already see the Huitong Pavilion, but Wang Xinling stopped and turned his head to look in the direction of the yamen of the former government army in the south.

After thinking about it, Wang Xinling had already turned around and walked to the front of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. When they arrived at the Dadu Governor's Mansion, the officers and soldiers in front of the door naturally did not do the same as the officers in front of the yamen of the various ministries, but just nodded at Wang Xinling.

Wang Xinling walked into the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion by himself, and groups of generals went in and out. According to the regulations of the imperial court, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was divided into different areas of authority and responsibility according to the region.

Soon Wang Xinling found a squad in charge of Huguang Road, Sichuan Road, Guangxi Road and other southwest regions.

As soon as he walked in, he saw a group of generals pointing around a spread out map of the southwest. The generals' voices were extraordinarily loud, and between the shouts, Wang Xinling had already heard what these people were discussing today.

And above, led by Huixian Bo Sangjing. The generals did not see Wang Xinling's arrival, but Sang Jing saw Wang Xinling standing at the door at a glance.

"Hey, isn't this our governor of the king, why did you have time to come to our side today." As he spoke, Sang Jing kicked at the nearest general.

"Hurry up and move a chair for Governor Wang." The kicked general was not annoyed, and went to move a chair for Wang Xinling with a smile.

Wang Xinling stepped forward and came to Sang Jing.

"Xia Guan heard that there was some chaos in the southwest, and he thought that it would be better for Uncle Hui Xian to know, but he didn't think that Uncle Hui was already discussing this matter at this time." Sang Jing smiled and waved at the generals in front of him: "When the imperial court finds out the reason, if we want to use troops, we will definitely be able to completely quell the turmoil in the southwest within half a year!" Wang Xinling squinted his eyes and looked at the southwest Kanyu who was surrounded by everyone.

Now the imperial court still doesn't know what the infighting happened among the natives in the southwest.
