But this cannot be the reason for hundreds of officials to target the Prince Consort.
"Why is this happening? Don't all the officials know that the princes and princes are from different families?" Han Du was confused.
Han De chuckled and said: "It is precisely because they are the descendants of important ministers who are deeply trusted by the emperor that they are targeted by hundreds of officials."
Seeing that Han Du didn't understand, Han De sneered and explained: "Everything in the world is for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. But as an official, who doesn't want to dominate the world and treat all officials with courtesy? Of course, now the emperor has abolished the The Zhongshu Province was abolished and the prime minister was abolished. But you don’t think that without the prime minister, officials will not think about climbing up, right? The prince-in-law’s fathers are already important ministers of the court. If these princes-in-law are allowed to grow up again, with their and their Due to the relationship between the royal family, do you think there is a high possibility of taking over the powerful position again?"
Needless to say?
Due to Lao Zhu's emphasis on relatives, although the prince-in-law is only a son-in-law, he is still a relative. If the consort is really allowed to succeed, the possibility of becoming Lao Zhu's confidant again is really not small.
Seeing Han Du's sudden realization, Han De sneered and said, "Now do you know why?"
Of course Han Du knew. To put it bluntly, the conditions for the prince-in-law were too favorable. As long as he had a little bit of ability, he would almost 100% stand in front of the officials.
How can officials who have been working hard for decades be willing to do this? How could they just watch helplessly as a situation arises where doing well in exams is not as good as marrying well? Since the prince-in-law blocked their way to the peak of power, it was not surprising that they were targeted.
Han Du sneered, shook his head and said: "It's cold at high places. The higher you are, the more painful it will be if you fall. If it were me, I wouldn't want to be an official. What's so good about being an official? I get up earlier than a chicken. I sleep later than a dog and work hard every day. I like it better, sleeping until I wake up naturally and counting money until my hands cramp."
Seeing that his son didn't look like he was telling lies, Han De couldn't help but sigh in his heart. There are countless people in this world who want to be officials, but they have no official positions. His son obviously didn't want to be an official, but his position became bigger and bigger. Even Han De had to admit that when he was Han Du's age, he was not as senior as his son.
Han De glanced at his son speechlessly and couldn't help but said: "Not everyone can find a coal mine with just one finger like you. It's beyond your imagination how difficult it is to make money in this world. .”
It is difficult to make money, so becoming an official has naturally become the best way out for the world.
To put it bluntly, it is not caused by the world's too single way out. Everyone regards official career as their lifelong goal. As a result, competition is naturally very fierce, and many times even use unscrupulous means.
"And the emperor's move in conferring a title on you is very clever." Han De smiled and looked at Han Du, "The prince-in-law is an official and a military attaché. If he is a civilian official, he will definitely be opposed by all the officials. But if it is changed to It’s Jing Haibo, so that’s different.”
Han Du suddenly realized that what his father said was reasonable, and it was indeed different.
When Liu Bowen was still alive, didn't he take charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate? Although he was originally a civil servant, he was also sincere.
The monk can touch it, why can't the poor Taoist touch it?
Liu Bowen used to be a civil servant, but he has always been a civil servant. If Uncle Zhenli can take charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, then he, Uncle Jinghai, will naturally be able to become an official. Even if the officials wanted to stop it, they couldn't.
Lao Zhu is really powerful. His hand looks like an antelope's horns, but he didn't expect it to have such an effect.
However, after being lectured by his father, he understood Lao Zhu's purpose, but Han Du still didn't understand how he, a sixth-grade official, could take charge of the Ordnance Bureau.
The next day, Han Du was woken up early in the morning by a girl knocking on the door.
In the past, girls would go directly to Han Du's door and help Han Du wash and dress. But I don't know when Han Jingyun started knocking on the door when he came to Handu's door.
Han Du woke up, got dressed, and opened the door.
"Girl, are you bothering you again?"
"Brother, hurry up and wash up. People from the staff are already waiting for you in the lobby."
People from the official department?
Unable to help but move in his heart, Han Du quickly finished washing up and hurried to the lobby.
"Your Majesty, Chen Qing, pays homage to Jing Haibo." When the officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs saw Han Du coming in, they took the first step to salute with clasped fists.
"Please get up quickly."
In terms of official position, although Han Du is only in the sixth rank, he is comparable to the official in front of him. But at the same time, Han Du was Jing Hai Bo, with a superior title, so it was appropriate for officials to salute Han Du.
After helping the official up, Han Du couldn't help asking: "I wonder why Mr. Chen is here?"
"This is the document from the Ministry of Personnel appointing you as the head of the Arms Bureau." Chen Qing handed the document, stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Personnel, to Han Du. At the same time, he turned around and pointed at the clerk who came with him, and said: "This is Jing Haibo's fifth-grade official uniform. Of course, if you don't wear an official uniform, you can wear an earl uniform. Congratulations to your uncle for becoming the most popular in the Ming Dynasty." Young fifth-rank official.”
Is the fifth rank official big?
It's big if it's big, and it's not big if it's not big.
Above the court, the fifth-rank officials barely reached the threshold of middle-level officials. For the real high-ranking officials of the second and third grades of the imperial court, the fifth grade is still far behind. Many people become fifth-grade at a young age, but they never become second-grade or even third-grade in their lifetime.
But the fifth-rank official said it was big, and the ordinary prefect of the first prefecture was the fifth-rank official. In other words, Han Du is now equivalent to a fifth-grade prefect.
Moreover, Han Du is still a Beijing official. If he is released now, he will be promoted by one promotion. If you become an official in the fourteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, you will definitely have more than five ranks.
When Lao Zhu asked him to take charge of the Arms Bureau, Han Du somewhat understood what Lao Zhu wanted to do. Lao Zhu doesn’t want to give money, but he also wants goods.
Therefore, Han Du behaved very normally, even a little indifferently, towards his official position as head of the Arms Bureau.
"Master Chen, please don't praise me. The Ming Dynasty is full of talents. To say that I am the youngest fifth-rank official in the Ming Dynasty is a bit excessive, isn't it?" Han Du didn't believe that there was no fifth-rank official younger than himself in the Ming Dynasty.
When Chen Qing heard this, he burst into laughter and explained to Han Du: "Unknown to Uncle Jinghai, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will register the origins and ages of officials above the seventh rank. The lower officials are in charge of these lists, so Uncle I am the youngest fifth-rank official in the Ming Dynasty, there is no doubt about it."
Unexpectedly, Han Du had no choice but to clasp his fists and reply: "Master Chen is interested."
The two of them drank tea and chatted for a while. Chen Qing took the initiative to say that the official department had other important matters, so he said goodbye and left.
Han Du was thinking about the affairs of the Arms Bureau and was going to check out the situation.
