If you talk about Zheng Guotai, you must first talk about his sister Zheng Guifei, who is the most favored concubine of the Wanli Emperor.

And the historical Zheng Guifei accompanied the Wanli Emperor for 38 years, and has always been able to maintain her favor, she does not have the name and etiquette of the queen, but she has the reality of the queen in the harem.

For the third son of the emperor born to Concubine Zheng Guifei, Emperor Wanli has been fighting with his ministers for twenty or thirty years, which can be called the fourth affectionate of the Ming Dynasty.

The first is Empress Taizu Gao, the second is Xianzong to Wan Guifei, the third is Xiaozong to Empress Zhang, and the fourth is Emperor Wanli to Zheng Guifei.

Zheng Guifei, who often plays the role of a villain in later films and television, is actually not a vicious person, but she is also a concubine who can toss things, and many of the "strange cases" in the Ming Palace that are talked about are related to Zheng Guifei.

And Zheng Guotai, who signed up for today's science and martial arts test, is Zheng Guifei's only brother and the backbone of the Zheng family.

Thinking of this, Lin Daguan felt that he might have been "butterfly effect".

In history, Zheng Guotai definitely did not participate in the martial arts examination, just as there was definitely no martial champion in the fourteenth year of Wanli in history.

Could it be that after he came up with the gimmick of the first martial champion of the Ming Dynasty, he attracted Zheng Guotai?

The Zheng family, a relative, certainly did not lack the emperor's care, and was often criticized by ministers for excessive rewards, but what the Zheng family lacked was a valid reason to receive special grace and something that could bring glory to the family's face.

Shen Shixing saw that Lin Tailai's performance was extremely abnormal, so he reminded: "Are you sure you want to capture the martial champion?" In fact, this martial champion is not that important. ”

Another important reason why Wuke is not valued is that there is a general way out.

Unlike liberal arts, if you are a Jinshi, you are a clear stream, and Sanding Jia directly enters Hanlin, and is known as "Heavenly Immortal" in officialdom.

After the formal establishment of the martial arts system, during the Zheng and Hong years, the military attache was treated as the original official was promoted to the first level, and the ordinary people were awarded low-level official positions such as experience, governor, and inspection.

Even if he gets the first place in the martial arts test, the military attache treatment is raised by two levels, and ordinary people are awarded the five grades and thousands of households.

It wasn't until there was chaos in the north and south of Jiajing that the way out of the Wujin soldiers was slightly better, and ordinary people and low-level flag schools also had positions such as Fang Town staff, leading battalion officers, castle guards, and battalion instructors to choose from.

In the eyes of Shen Shixing, Lin Daguan is so talented and has many ways out, he really doesn't have to guard the martial arts.

If the first assistant works hard and risks the pressure of being scolded, Paulin Tailai will be a bracket liberal arts, and the problem is not very big.

Therefore, there is really no need to compete with martial arts, even if you have a liberal arts background, it will not affect your hobby of making guns and sticks go into battle to kill the enemy.

Of course, it's not that Shoufu is afraid of anything Zheng Guotai, under the system of suppressing the power of his relatives in the Ming Dynasty, if Shoufu can't even suppress his relatives, it will be a joke.

In the final analysis, it is still a cost-effective issue, and when Shen Shoufu calculates the gains and losses of interests, he likes to pay attention to the cost performance the most.

I feel that for a useless martial artist, it is not very cost-effective to be tough with the favored Zheng family.

Lin Tailai replied: "Originally, it didn't matter if you didn't take the martial champion, but when you see that Zheng Guotai also covets it, you have to fight!" ”

Shen Shixing: "??? ”

What kind of logic is your Lin Tailai? How can you not understand it at all?

I haven't heard of it before, you Lin Tailai have a grudge against the Zheng family, why do you target Zheng Guotai so much?

Shen Shoufu asked again: "In addition to the champion, there are also second and third, which are not much worse." ”

"I am already the first in Suzhou and the first in Nanzhili, how can I give up the last first in Beijing?" Lin Daguan said without hesitation.

Lin Tailai's mentality, Shen Shoufu can only understand that young people are willful, and they will not think too much about the gains and losses of interests, what they want is face.

After all, Lin Tailai had spoken all over the capital before, and this time he wanted to take the first place in the martial arts test and complete the great cause of martial arts.

If you are inexplicably snatched away from the first place by a relative who suddenly appeared, it is indeed quite faceless.

In the end, Shen Shoufu said: "Since you want to be willful, then be willful, anyway, there are still a few days to consider." ”

It's not a matter of life and death, Lin Tailai wants to be willful, so he will go.

Lin Tailai said in a deep voice: "It's not that you're willful, but it's for the sake of your willfulness." When Shen Xiang understands what benevolence and righteousness are, he will come back and be willful with the next. ”

Shen Shixing didn't want to continue to talk nonsense with people who didn't talk to people, so he wanted to blow Lin Tailai away with a wave of his hand.

But Lin Tailai seemed unwilling to say: "If you only make waves for Zheng Guotai, it will be a bit of a fuss." ”

Shen Shixing asked inexplicably: "What else do you want?" ”

Lin Tailai said thoughtfully: "I heard that the imperial court is going to elect a new Hubu Shangshu recently, and when Zheng Guotai competes for the martial champion, how about picking up the grass and beating rabbits by the way, and getting a Hubu Shangshu back?" ”

Tobe Shangshu is a rabbit in your eyes? Shen Shoufu was stunned and asked:

"Is it the same thing that you compete with Zheng Guotai for the champion of martial arts, and the imperial court elects the head of the household?"

Lin Tai said in a letter: "It can be the same thing. ”

But Shen Shixing didn't plan to continue the conversation with Lin Tailai, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't think too much, prepare for your martial arts test with peace of mind!" ”

Shen Shoufu, who is cautious by nature, has three main considerations, first, in the case of controlling the ministry, the household department is not so attractive.

Second, Li Zhi's forces have just been expelled, and if they are eager to directly intervene in the selection of the household secretary, it may cause a backlash from top to bottom.

Third, as a native of Suzhou, it is best to avoid suspicion on the issue of the selection of the household secretary. After all, there have been ancestral teachings since the time of Emperor Taizu Gao, and Suzhou people are not allowed to be officials in the household department.

But Lin Daguan said very generously: "Since Shen Xiang has no intention, then I will arrange the candidates for the household department Shangshu by myself!" ”

Shen Shixing couldn't help laughing: "Do you think that the temple is like a family wine? If you have the ability, do it yourself! ”

Coming out of Shen Shoufu, Lin Daguan, who had just finished speaking, was a little difficult, it was not that he had no choice, but that he lacked candidates.

Standing in the courtyard, Lin Daguan couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh. The foundation is still too weak, and there is a good opportunity to encounter such a card position, but there is no reliable party membership.

These officials in the court, in addition to Shen Shixing, can contact the Wang family in Shandong Xincheng a little.

Other than that, there wasn't even anyone who could talk.

can think of the Wang family's attitude towards him, and Lin Daguan is a little unhappy.

But if you exclude the problem of attitude, the Xincheng Wang family is indeed a very good candidate for the party, and it can provide a steady stream of Jinshi-level talents.

In addition to the Xincheng Wang family, which family can produce more than a dozen jinshi in a generation? And the ability is not too bad.

Thinking about it further, there are a lot of officials in Shandong, but top bosses are very scarce, which is too suitable for co-optation to be party henchmen.

A few years later in history, in addition to the Donglin Party, there were also Qi Party, Zhejiang Party, and Chu Party in the imperial court, among which the Qi Party was the Shandong official group.

What are the leaders of the Zhejiang Party in other people, such as Shen Cheng and Fang Congzhe, but the leaders of the Qi Party were only appointed to the governor in the end.

Also on this night, the Wang family, who was absorbed by the extremely bored Lin Daguan and the henchmen of the party, the head of Wang Zhiyuan Shao Situ, sneaked into the mansion of Yang Wei, the secretary of the ministry.

In fact, Yang Tianguan invited Wang Shaositu to come over, because Wang Shaositu was relatively thin-skinned and not used to begging people.

If it weren't for Yang Tianguan's invitation, Wang Zhiyuan might not have taken the initiative to come to the door at this time.

Wang Shaositu is a native of Shandong, and Yang Tianguan is also a native of Shandong, and they have a friendship with each other.

Yang Tianguan is seventy this year, he is generous, his performance is mediocre, and he can be a secretary of the ministry because of his qualifications.

is so senior that he has held many official positions, and if he is not a secretary, there is no position to arrange.

After all, Yang Tianguan is a Jinshi in the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, that is, the famous golden generation, and his same years are all Zhang Juzheng, Li Chunfang, and Wang Shizhen.

In other eras, if you can be a secretary of the ministry, you may be a leader in the group in the same year.

But Yang Tianguan's same year was too dazzling, and there were only three scholars, two of whom were first assistants, which made Yang Wei famous.

Of course, Shen Shoufu still likes Yang Wei very much, because Yang Wei is loyal and obedient and respects Shoufu's authority very much.

Therefore, although Yang Wei, a living fossil, is more than seventy years old, he is still supported by Shen Shoufu as a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials.

Yang Tianguan invited Wang Shaositu over, of course, for the imperial court to elect a new household secretary.

Generally speaking, there are three sources of candidates for the Ministry of Household Books, the first is to transfer the low-status Shangshu such as the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry; the second is to transfer one from the six Shangshu in Nanjing; The third is that the senior household servant was promoted to the household secretary.

Wang Shaositu, as a senior Hubu Zuo Shilang and the governor of Taicang, is certainly qualified to be a candidate for Hubu Shangshu.

Yang Tianguan said: "Today I screened the list, and there are two people who are the most qualified.

One is you, and the other is Song Qi, the head of the household department in Nanjing, and the conditions of others are not as good as yours. ”

Wang Shaositu smiled bitterly: "This opportunity is really rare. ”

Yang Tianguan said: "There is only one competitor, and it is indeed a very good opportunity, but it is also not easy.

Song Qi will definitely get the full support of the Qingliu forces, he and Shen Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, are both from Henan Guidefu, and Zuodu Yushi Xin Zixiu is also from Henan, and the strength can be imagined. ”

As a secretary of the ministry, Yang Tianguan knew the context of the court well, and pointed out:

"If you want to compete with the forces behind Song Qi, only Shen Shoufu is the only one, but whether Shen Shoufu has another candidate in his heart, no one can say.

I've already mentioned you to Shin Shousuke, but I can't finish everything for you, and I need you to go to Shousuke yourself. ”

Wang Zhiyuan was embarrassed and said: "My family and Shoufu have never had a deep relationship, so do you ask Shoufu for such a major event?" ”

Yang Wei hated iron and said: "It's time to sacrifice yourself for benevolence, you still think about whether you are shallow and profound?"

If it were replaced by those who have no discipline, they would have been on their knees and begged for a long time. ”

Wang Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Then I will go to the Shen Mansion tomorrow to ask for a meeting." ”

This is the first update, and there will be more tonight. Ask for a monthly pass again.,After yesterday's monthly ticket list.,The collection is three times as new as usual.,The effect is still obvious.,Please continue to support it!
