The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Lin Tailai followed Wang Yongji, the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, to the inner courtyard to do business. According to the existing "decision", he directly completed the procedures for reinstating the official and adding him to the official position, and received a new card.

Of course, the Ministry of Personnel can only apply for "reinstatement as a doctor in the Department of Host and Guests of the Ministry of Etiquette" and "reinstatement as a doctor in the Department of Gong and Examination of the Ministry of Personnel" here.

The Hanlin officials are an independent system, and related matters need to be handled separately by the Hanlin Academy. The Ministry of Personnel cannot control the Hanlin Academy.

According to the system, there is also the procedure of going to the emperor to express gratitude in person.

However, Emperor Wanli had not been in court for a long time, so this procedure could not be carried out normally. Last year, the emperor issued an order to dispense with the ritual of paying thanks for his gratitude during the pilgrimage when he was promoted to an official.

So all it takes is a symbolic memorial to complete all the procedures and you can officially take office.

Coming out of Wang Yongji's court, Lin Tailai was full of energy and radiant!

A real man cannot live without power for a day, and he has had enough of being a soldier!

"Let's go! Let's go and see our new territory!" Lin Tailai greeted his followers.

The old minister Wang did not allow him to bring hundreds of servants into the official department, so now there are only sixteen servants around him, including the guardians on the left and right.

The internal structure of the Ministry of Personnel is very simple, with only four departments, a small number of officials, and no peripheral or subordinate agencies.

However, there are many staff employed and the government office occupies a large area. After all, the workload of the staff department is not small.

Let’s talk about the Gong Kao Department. From the ministries, academies, temples, and supervisors of the capital officials to the principal, deputy, and chief officials at all levels of provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties all over the world, no matter who is specifically assessed, they will all be reviewed by the Gong Kao Department in the end.

How could it be possible for a total of four officials, including one doctor, one outsider, and two chiefs, to manage this?

Therefore, it is necessary to use a large number of staff. Generally, staff are responsible for handling process matters.

There are three halls in the front of the courtyard of the Kaogong Division, which are used by officials for their offices; the two rows of side rooms in front of the main hall are used by officials for their offices; there are also backyards and back rooms for various miscellaneous uses.

Standing at the door of the courtyard of the Examination Department, Lin Tailai frowned and said dissatisfied: "The people here are so rude. Don't you know how to come out to greet the new chief of this department?"

The Secretary of the Department of Civil Affairs who led the way wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained: "After all, Lin Gongcao has not officially taken office yet."

Lin Tailai scolded: "Even if I don't officially take office, can they be arrogant and rude?"

Then he ordered to the left and right: "Call everyone out! Hold a hospital-wide meeting!"

After hearing this, the servants split up and kicked open the doors of each room one by one, shouting inside: "Get out! Hold a hospital-wide meeting!"

For a moment, the courtyard was in a frenzy, and the confused officials were shouted out and stood in the courtyard without knowing what they were talking about.

Three officials, Yu Zhan, the foreign minister, Zhao Nanxing, and Jiang Shixin, who were working in the left and right halls, were also driven out and stood at the front.

Lin Tai glanced at the three officials and said to himself unbearably: "This courtyard is really full of birds."

Among these three officials, it goes without saying that Zhao Nanxing was the future leader of the Donglin Party and the main force in the party struggle. Historically, he had been strong until the Tianqi years.

As for Jiang Shixin, he has always been known as corrupt and bribery in the gossip, but he had worshiped Zou Yuanbiao as his teacher.

After he won the first prize last year, Jiang Shixin maliciously intercepted Tang Xianzu's play and spread rumors, which was corrected by himself.

As for the Yuanwai Lang Yu Zhan, Lin Tailai was not familiar with him.

But Yu Zhan was from Yixing, and the fact that he was hastily promoted by the Qingliu forces to serve as Yuanwailang, the examination director, is enough to explain the problem.

You should know that in addition to the locals of Wuxi County, the Gu family class has the largest number of people from the surrounding Wujin and Yixing.

So at a casual glance, all the officials in the Examination Department are of this political nature, not counting Gu Xiancheng who returned home from Ding You.

It can be seen from this that the Qingliu forces, which claim to be the light of righteousness, have a tight control over the officials and officials.

Lin Tailai really had nothing to say about this except to complain about "the courtyard is full of birds".

As for this group of officials, aren’t they all selected by the original officials? The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for both the selection of officials and the appointment of officials!

Then I heard Zhao Nanxing question: "You haven't taken office yet, so what qualifications do you have to convene a meeting of the merit examination department?"

Lin Tailai scolded contemptuously: "Are you a fool? Didn't you hear that this is a hospital-wide meeting!

As the name suggests, it is just inviting people in this courtyard to come out and talk, it is not a merit examination conference! "

Zhao Nanxing: "."

It's not scary to have unparalleled martial arts skills, but what's even more scary is that he is so careful when riding a horse!

In order to establish his authority, Lin Tailai, who had not yet taken office, continued to question Zhao Nanxing aggressively:

"How did you get on the list back then? Tell me, who was your teacher? Let me ask him, how did someone who doesn't understand semantics get on the list?"

The humiliated Zhao Nanxing replied wittily: "My teacher is the late Master Jianjidian, the late Master, and the gifted Taibao Lv Wenjian. Go and ask."

the late? That’s okay. Lin Tailai let Zhao Nanxing go for the time being and said to all the officials:

"Today we have a hospital-wide meeting, and I would like to say a few words to you about the work of the Gongfu Examination Department!

The official evaluation work that the Merit Evaluation Department is responsible for is an important starting point for motivating officials to dare to take on responsibilities, make a difference, and promote the vigorous development of various undertakings in Ming Dynasty.

It is of great significance to guide officials at home and abroad to implement various decrees in a better state and with a better style."

The officials below looked at each other and then began to whisper.

Everyone agreed that the incoming groom should be easy to fool

Veterans who have been in the yamen for a long time know that it is best to deal with this kind of officer who likes to talk big words and empty words.

"Now let's talk about the specific work. I will talk about a few more points." Lin Tailai observed everyone's expressions and continued: "First of all, in view of your disrespect for the superior, all staff will be reduced by one-fifth!"

It was like a sudden thunder that woke up all the drowsy officials!

Someone asked: "How to eliminate them?"

Lin Tailai smiled cruelly and said: "After I take office, all the officials will be randomly drawn. If you get the lottery for life, you will stay. If you get the lottery for death, you will get out or be transferred to a border town!"

"This is tyranny!" Someone else shouted unconvinced.

The servants of the Lin Mansion immediately rushed forward, pulled out the yelling person, punched and kicked him, and he was half dead by the time he saw it.

Lin Tailai stepped lightly on the beaten official and said to the others: "I'm too lazy to play tricks with you old yamen guys!

To be more direct, if I like you, you will live, and if I don’t, you will die. Do you understand this principle?

If you are not convinced, go to the right gate of Chang'an to complain, remembering to bring your whole family with you. "

A bunch of officials are dying. Is this a new official taking office, or is it a gangster grabbing territory?

Lin Tailai turned to the other three officials and said, "I've finished talking about the minor officials. Now I'll arrange some things for you."

Then he told the official Yu Zhan: "I think the examination language used by various officials is random and messy, making it difficult to compare the pros and cons. In the future, standardization and standardization must be achieved!"

All exams at all levels in the world should be written in a unified format based on the five aspects of morality, ability, diligence, performance, and integrity! This way it looks clear and easy to reference!

Please write my opinion into detailed regulations and give them to me as soon as I take office! "

For the seemingly normal tasks assigned by the "top leader", although Yu Zhan cursed in his heart, he could only respond on the surface.

It is this kind of migrant chief who has never seen personnel power and suddenly takes power. He loves to come up with new tricks and forces the most troubles!

Lin Tailai said to Zhao Nanxing again: "After passing the official examination, it only happens once every three years. The frequency is too low and it is not conducive to timely supervision and correction!

So I am thinking that we should reinstate the examination method, create a register, and supervise the process on a monthly basis!

You write a memorial and submit it, and apply for reinstatement of the examination method! "

Damn it! Zhao Nanxing felt the deep malice, this was digging a big hole for himself!

The Examination Law was one of the representative "evil laws" in Zhang Juzheng's era and was abolished six years ago.

However, the current political trend is against Zhang Juzheng. It is simply unreasonable for him to be allowed to go to Shangshu and resume the examination!

"Why don't you perform it yourself?" Zhao Nanxing asked.

Don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you. How can there be any reason to force others to do something with such huge political risks?

Lin Tailai replied: "I haven't officially taken office yet, how can I possibly comment on my affairs?

Stop talking nonsense, I leave this matter to you! If you haven't been punished before I take office, I will impeach you for your incompetence and dereliction of duty! "

Zhao Nanxing: "."

Your behavior, Lin Tailai, is called forcing a good girl into prostitution! He vowed to die!

When Lin Tailai saw that Zhao Nanxing refused to agree, he said harshly: "It's been given to you anyway. If you don't do it, you will be responsible for the consequences!"

Zhao Nanxing always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out.

After giving a lesson to the officials in the examination department, Lin Tailai left the official department in a big way.

The staff, which had been nearly paralyzed all morning, finally returned to normal operations.

After leaving the Ministry of Personnel, Lin Tailai thought to himself that since he had been reinstated, it was time to go to the Ministry of Rites.

During the period when he was dismissed from office, the imperial court appointed a man named Zhong Huamin to be the chief guest officer and acting doctor.

Therefore, after an official is restored to his original position, he should go over and show his face to let the officials in the Ministry of Rites know that your uncle is still your uncle.

Taking steps like the return of the God of War, Lin Tailai returned to the Ministry of Etiquette and transferred to the Host and Guest Department.

But he saw in the courtyard of the host and guests, a man who was slightly stronger than ordinary people, wearing the robe of a Ming Dynasty military attaché, with his back to him, standing in front of the hall waiting.

Behind this person is a pile of large boxes.

"Hey! We have business coming to our door." Lin Tailai said casually.

After all, I have studied here for two months and have received large delegations. Of course I know what this scene is like.

That is, another envoy from another country came to pay tribute. They submitted documents to the Ministry of Rites, and then inspected the tribute items at the Host and Guest Department.

As for the envoys wearing the official robes of the Ming Dynasty military attachés, it is not unusual. Many foreigners have been canonized by the Ming Dynasty, and there are many governors and commanders.

Lin Tailai didn't pay much attention to it at first, but as he got closer, he discovered something strange.

The envoy had a small braid hanging from the back of his head, emerging from his official hat.

Lin Tailai suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, feeling severe physical discomfort!

Wearing the hairstyle of the Qing Dynasty and the official hat of the Ming Dynasty, this is too discordant.
