Yang Ming once again asked Xu Jing to enter the palace, this time to the Ministry of Personnel to find out where Xuanling was currently serving.
In fact, these errands should be done by Yang Ming's palace staff, but isn't there now? So we have to rely on Xu Jing to handle it, and Xu Jing is also familiar with all the yamen in the palace.
Originally, Yang Ming had no interest in Fang Xuanling. If it weren't for the lack of people under his command, he would not have thought of Fang Xuanling at all.
And Fang Xuanling was recommended as a Jinshi by Qizhou. Although he had come through the ranks, he must have real talent and learning, otherwise he would not have been able to pass Yang Jian's test.
The Qinghe Fang clan can be considered a first-class family, but few people in the clan can squeeze into the central organization of the Sui Dynasty. The reason why Fang Xuanling's father, Fang Yanqian, can enter the official department is inseparable from his daughter-in-law.
Fang Xuanling's biological mother was born in the Li family of Longxi. In this way, Fang Yanqian was recognized by the Guanlong Group and was able to enter the central area. Otherwise, no matter how talented you are, you won't be able to get there.
After entering the center, you will naturally get to know many big-shot figures. The reason why Fang Xuanling was recommended by Qizhou was not because someone from his hometown in Qizhou wanted him to be promoted, but because Niu Hong, the Minister of Civil Affairs at the time, followed him. Qizhou said hello.
Niu Hong was Fang Xuanling's former immediate boss.
You see, in Sui Dynasty, you can't do anything no matter what.
Xu Jing came back and brought some files about Fang Xuanling.
It turned out that after this boy won the Jinshi, he was sent to Xi (xi) City (today's Fenyang, Shanxi) as a county captain by the officials.
After only two years of service, he was transferred back to Daxing and became a Yuqiwei, a military casual official with no actual position.
From a County Lieutenant to a Yuqi Lieutenant, the ranks are pretty even, they are all ninth-rank minor officials. The difference is that one is rich and the other is not, one is in Kyoto and the other is in a poor county.
Of course, Fang Xuanling doesn't care about the little oil and water. His family should not be short of money.
Yang Ming felt that although Fang Xuanling had Niu Hong's relationship, he would definitely not be promoted in a short period of time. After all, Niu Hong also looked at people's orders, and it was a matter of affection that he could mobilize it for you. He wanted to go there If you mention it, there are a lot of things to pay attention to.
As for the officials of Yang Ming's county prince's palace, the chief historian and Sima were all from the fifth rank, the office recorder and the subordinates were from the sixth rank, the wine sacrifice, the chief bookkeeper, and the recorder were from the seventh rank. None of them were better than Fang Xuanling's current position. The cavalry captain is of high rank.
Yang Ming wanted the other party to record affairs in the palace for him and be in charge of registration, sending and receiving, similar to accounting and treasury management.
As for whether this kid is willing to do it?
Yang Ming thought for a while, why should I consider whether he is willing? Shouldn't I have the final say?
So Yang Ming went to the official department in person.
The current Minister of Civil Affairs is Su Wei, who just returned to Beijing a month ago. He is a real boss.
In order to make room for him, Niu Hong went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to serve as Shangshu.
When Su Wei was at his most glorious, he held five positions at the same time: Nayan (the highest official of the province), Hubu Shangshu (also served as the official minister), Dali Temple Qing (the highest official of Dali Temple), Jingzhaoyin (the capital) The top leader), Yushi Dafu (the boss of Yushitai).
At the same time, he was also awarded the title of Prince Shaobao and Duke of Pi.
Together with Gao Juong, Yu Qingze and Yang Xiong, he was known as the Four Nobles of the early Sui Dynasty. It can be said that he was an extremely popular minister.
"Your Highness, are you free today? Why do you think of the staff?"
Su Wei has gray hair on his temples, a lean figure, and is always stern, as if he has never encountered a happy thing in his life. The deep eyebrow lines on his forehead are as if they were struck by a knife.
"The palace has no subordinate officials, so I want to come to the Ministry of Personnel to find a suitable one,"
After Yang Ming clasped his hands and saluted, he smiled and said: "I have already chosen the person. I just wait for Su Gong to put a red color on the transfer document."
Su Wei's office is very spacious, and there are some flowers, fish, turtles, etc. It doesn't look as solemn and solemn as other yamen.
After receiving the document handed over by Yang Ming, Su Wei glanced at it briefly.
"Yeah, I have the impression that this guy has real talent. Being a Yuqi Lieutenant is really a waste."
After saying that, Suwei dipped his pen in cinnabar and drew a circle on the document.
Cinnabar is cinnabar. In the Sui Dynasty, only the top leaders of some important departments could use this stuff. It was illegal for anyone else to use it.
Su Wei obviously didn't have time to chat with Yang Ming. After a few polite words, Yang Ming left Su Wei's official office and handed the documents to those under the Ministry of Personnel. They were filed first and then signed. The transfer order would be handed over to the room that night. Xuanling's hand.
After everything was done, Yang Ming returned to the palace.
...
The boss, Yang Zhao, was not idle today either. He hid in the study alone and wrote a memorial.
He didn't want to join anyone, but wanted to recommend two people.
That's right, it's a recommendation.
He recommended Zhao Xuan, the governor of Jizhou, to be transferred to the position of Secretary Supervisor, and recommended Wei Yuancheng to be appointed as the replacement governor of Jizhou.
The governor of the state, the fourth grade,
Secretary Supervisor, fourth grade,
In terms of grade, this is flat.
But the governor of the state is a feudal official, and the secretary supervisor is the director of the library. If you were given a choice, which one would you want to be?
As for Wei Yuancheng, who is it?
This is a super lucky man. Wei Yuancheng's father, Mr. Wei, fought in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Northern Qi Dynasty and died in Bingzhou. Wei Yuancheng was only ten years old at that time.
But this kid later took over his grandfather's title, and his grandfather was the famous Duke of Yun, Wei Xiaokuan.
The reason why Yang Zhao recommended Wei Yuancheng was because Wei Chong, the future father-in-law of the second eldest son Yang Jian, was Wei Xiaokuan's nephew, and they were part of the same family.
As for Jingzhao Weishi, the one who is suitable to be the governor at the moment is Wei Yuancheng. Why, because he is the Duke of Yun.
There are nine levels of title in the Sui Dynasty. Below the prince and the prince, there is the duke.
After the memorial was written, it was quickly sent to Renshou Palace.
Yang Zhao pried out a person, Zhao Yichen, from the mouth of Chen Xian, the censor Zhongcheng.
In order to move Zhao Yichen, he must first recall his father who was the governor.
He did not intend to tell the second and third children about Zhao Yichen. He wanted to solve it alone because he did not want the matter between Yang Ming and Yang Yinjiang to continue to ferment.
He is the eldest brother, so Yang Zhao believes that it is his duty to solve some problems for his younger brother.
In fact, Yang Jian, who was far away in Renshou Palace, was stunned on the spot when he saw the signature on the memorial.
Because this is Yang Zhao's first time to go to court.
So Yang Jian did not open it for the first time, but wanted to share this little secret with his wife Dugu.
"Zhao Xuan? Wei Yuancheng? What does this kid want to do?"
After the couple finished reading the memorial, Dugu Jialuo said blankly: "Did Zhao Yu provoke Zhao'er? Or did Zhao'er simply want Zhao Yu to move his position to Wei Yuancheng?"
"Haha..." Yang Jian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I've probably provoked him, otherwise Zhao'er wouldn't have recommended Zhao Xuan to serve in the Secretariat Department. Wouldn't this be a slap in his face?"
Dugu Jialuo shook his head and said with a smile: "Zhao Xuan served as the minister's right servant in the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign. Because he often contradicted you, he was demoted to Jizhou. Now if he is transferred to secretary supervisor, wouldn't it be too hurtful?"
Yang Jian nodded: "Zhao Xu has been sincere in Jizhou these years. Unfortunately, he is old and seriously ill and can no longer handle government affairs normally. It is time for him to be transferred back to take care of himself. For the time being, he can be named Jincheng County Duke and serve as secretary. The province and the sect of the province will not waste my time with his king and ministers."
"Very appropriate!" Dugu Jialuo nodded.
