Kui'er herself has no father or mother, and was adopted by Dr. Tan, so for such a big matter, she had to leave the palace and talk to Dr. Tan.
Zhu Houzhao fully understood this.
Raising him up and teaching him medical skills, although this kind of kindness is not that of his parents, it is better than that of his parents.
Doctor Tan was sitting cross-legged, and she only said one sentence:
"Have you really thought about it?"
The spring breeze blew the wind chimes, making a rustling sound.
Where they live, the windows are full of greenery. There is a gap in the green bamboo, and the rainwater flows down into the pool in the courtyard. It is clean, elegant and refreshing.
On this side of the window, they, an old man and a young man, sit quietly opposite each other.
Dr. Tan's hair on the temples has turned white, and there are wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. He obviously hasn't had any hard work, but his hands are also rough.
The girl opposite is tall and tall, with long black hair scattered on her back. She is wearing a green dress today. She is called "The spring clouds resemble thousands of Daishan mountains, and the painted pavilion covers the smoke of willows for half a day."
The beautiful scenery is eye-catching, and the beauties are even more eye-catching. That’s what the green mountains are like.
"Actually, my disciple has never thought about it."
Doctor Tan looked out the window, "Are you just confused?"
"It's a bit...confused."
"Sigh. There is love and obsession in life, and this hatred has nothing to do with the wind and the moon. Women are confused when they choose someone in their hearts. But you are also very capable, and you have chosen the most unique man in the world."
Kui'er pursed her lips, and the corners of her eyes showed the unique shyness of a girl.
"One day is a teacher, and a lifetime is a father. The master's nurturing grace will be unforgettable to the disciple for the rest of his life."
After speaking, she kowtowed deeply, and this action caused a few strands of black hair to fall down her shoulders.
"It's okay to be a teacher. But what about your senior sister? Didn't you two originally agree not to get married in this life?"
Speaking of this, Kui'er was also wrong.
I wasn't sensible before, so I didn't know what it was like to miss someone. I just felt that my master and senior sister treated me well, so I happily made an agreement. Now, I have to admit my mistake.
"Senior sister, my disciple will go and talk to you later."
"Yeah." Tan Yunxian thought about the emperor's appearance for a while. They were people who often went to the harem, and they had some understanding of the emperor's temperament. Kui'er and him... should be fine.
only……
"Kui'er."
"yes."
"The ancients often said that once you enter the palace, the gate is as deep as the sea, the walls are high, the courtyard is deep, and there are many rules. You can only be careful when you get inside."
"Disciple understands."
"Even if you have a child in the future, don't fight for it. In life, you suffer most from utilitarianism. In fact, the so-called grand plans for hegemony will eventually end up in a pile of loess."
"Thank you Master for your teaching."
After saying this, Kui'er left and then knocked on senior sister's door.
Her senior sister Xin Hui is much shorter than her. In fact, she is tall among women, and few are as tall as her.
When the two stood together, one was taller and the other shorter, the contrast was obvious.
"Senior sister, would you like to go shopping with me on the street?"
Xin Hui was doing something, so she was very surprised when she heard this, "There is no special reason, why are you going to the street?"
In fact, there is, because Kui'er feels that it will be more difficult for her to go out on the streets in the future.
While I still have a chance, of course I want to go for a walk.
Many familiar people in the medical clinic gradually settled in Beijing, and she wanted to go and see them.
"Sister, please accompany me."
"Well...well, just wait for me for a while."
…
…
Qianqing Palace.
Liang Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel, Qi Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Zhao Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, Yang Ge Lao and Wang Ge Lao all came together to face the king.
"When can Wang Dehui enter Beijing?"
Liang Chu replied: "The cabinet and the official department have issued the order a month ago. If there is no heavy rain blocking the road, it will take another seven or eight days at most."
Zhu Houzhao was thinking about Kui'er's title issue, which needed to go through the Ministry of Rites. But since it only takes seven or eight days, let’s wait a little and don’t rush it.
As for the former Shangshu Lin Han, he sent three memorials to beg for the bones, and the process was considered completed.
Zhu Houzhao would still be generous to such an old minister. There was no need to be stingy at this time, which would appear to be narrow-minded.
"I remember that Lin Shangshu's father and son were both Jinshi?"
Everyone in Beijing remembers this.
After all, being a Jinshi for three generations is also a good story.
Liang Chu continued to report back, "Your Majesty is right. His father, Lin Liu, was a Jinshi in the 19th year of Yongle's reign and was promoted to the prefect of Fuzhou. His son Lin Ting was a Jinshi in the twelfth year of Hongzhi and is currently the prefect of Suzhou."
"How was your performance as an official?"
"Lin Ting is an elegant and clean official who is good at talking clearly. He is outstanding in his governance and conduct, and he is always frugal in his words. He is an incorruptible minister."
Zhu Houzhao nodded, "Three generations have been Jinshi, and the Lin family has become a prominent family in southern Fujian. After Lin Shangshu returns to his hometown after becoming an official, he must educate his neighbors, cherish the people, and set a good example. However, I will not take it lightly if I hear that it harms our people." Rao."
"Yes, I obey the order."
"Since his son Lin Ting has the influence of his ancestors, he should imitate his father, be loyal to his duties, and be self-denial and serve the public. It is my wish to appoint him as the magistrate of Huai'an Prefecture. The officials will pay attention to inspect his political performance. If the mess is cleaned up well, remember to pass things into the palace. I will be promoted again."
Lin Ting later became a minister, so ability should not be a big problem.
In fact, the Lin family in southern Fujian was quite famous in the Ming Dynasty. Because their family has five ministers.
The so-called seven subjects and eight Jinshi, three generations and five ministers refer to the Lin family.
Of course, if the Linting here in Zhu Houzhao was just in name, then the position of Minister would not fall into his hands.
From Suzhou Prefecture to Huai'an Prefecture, there seems to be no promotion.
However, things in the officialdom are very subtle. If something happens to Huai'an Mansion, he will naturally attract attention from the superiors. On this basis, it will be easier for him to get attention as long as he makes achievements.
Sometimes, attention is more important than performance.
Anyone who has been a grassroots official must understand this.
Therefore, both Ge Lao and Shangshu knew that this was also a way of taking care of Lin Han.
Chinese people still value this. The so-called establishment of a career, a wife and children, parents who have worked hard for half a life sometimes really do it for their children, and they hope that their children can take over their mantles.
And the emperor's behavior always seems to be so 'divided',
Being good to you can make you feel good in your heart,
If I treat you badly, no one can plead with you, I will have to kill you.
In any case, the ending of Lin's father and son still made the Qianqing Palace feel a little more heartwarming. Everyone was still familiar with the emperor, and their mood was slightly relaxed.
"Your Majesty, after Lin Ting left Suzhou, the position of Suzhou Prefecture Magistrate became vacant."
Generally speaking, the appointment of a prefect does not need to be made in front of the emperor. At most, it can be written in a memorial to let the emperor know. But Suzhou Prefecture is different. It's a bit exaggerated to say...
But it is true. Suzhou Prefecture’s annual tax revenue is more than two million dan... accounting for one-tenth of the country’s total.
Suzhou Prefecture, plus Songjiang Prefecture (more than one million shi), Changzhou Prefecture (about 500,000 shi), plus the remaining prefectures in South Zhili, account for one-fifth of the country's tax revenue.
It’s not that this place is so wealthy.
But because the people here once supported Zhang Shicheng, Zhu Yuanzhang collected particularly heavy taxes here.
As a result, the tax revenue of Suzhou Prefecture exceeds that of Zhejiang, Fujian, Sichuan and other provinces.
Looking at it this way, Suzhou Prefecture is clearly a province rather than a prefecture.
So it's not inappropriate for Liang Chu to really discuss it.
But for Zhu Houzhao, he was really unfamiliar with low-level officials, so he could only ask: "Is there anyone you can recommend?"
Wangge Lao, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up, "The minister recommends Zhou Zheng, the magistrate of Daming Prefecture. This man was originally the magistrate of Liangxiang County. He has a quiet nature and abides by his name. When he is an official, he must put the court and the people first."
Zhu Houzhao thought that Wang Bing must have recruited some people during the battle in Liangxiang.
When the war is won, everyone is promoted, and this Zhou Zheng is probably the same.
"Ministry of Staff, is this the same opinion?"
The emperor's words contained some pauses and an indescribable meaning.
Wang Bing's heart sank a little. If the emperor agreed, there was no need to ask. If he asked at this time, he obviously disagreed.
Officials...
The official contact person is Yang Yiqing.
"Wei Chen inspected the magistrates of two capitals and thirteen provinces, and felt that Jiang Yong, the magistrate of Deqing County, Huzhou Prefecture, had outstanding political achievements and was worthy of a big job." Liang Chu did not give Wang Bing face.
Wang Bing is somewhat stronger.
He is the elder of the pavilion, and there is nothing he can do about the people under his direct management.
Other people sometimes don't want to show off his face, especially when the emperor obviously disagrees with him.
Liang Chu was not that afraid of him.
This Minister of the Ministry of Personnel usually had a low presence. It was because Wang Hao was temporarily transferred to the post of governor of Zhejiang and Fujian that he was allowed to take over. But it will be four years since I took over, and I have been doing it steadily.
Because he has a political qualification that many people envy: when the current emperor was still the prince, Liang Chu was an official in the East Palace and served as the prince Xian Ma.
This position was a very prominent position in the Han and Tang Dynasties. He was in charge of classics and books, and felt a bit like the director of the East Palace Office.
Although his status declined in the Ming Dynasty. But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. In any case, he is also the prince's attendant and the person who has assisted the prince in his studies!
What is this called?
Old friends and confidants!
Otherwise, why didn't the Minister of Civil Affairs ask someone else to take over?
Zhu Houzhao agreed intentionally, but he didn't want to refute Wang Bing's face too much, so he asked again: "Mr. Yang Ge, what do you think?"
"Wei Chen thinks it will be decided based on performance, and the one who is the best will be chosen."
"It makes sense, just according to what Mr. Yang Ge said."
Yang Yiqing knew what he said. The dignified official minister would never pay attention to ordinary people. Jiang Yong, the magistrate of Deqing County, received a dazzling evaluation from the official official minister for his outstanding political achievements. It must be no different.
Wang Bing has nothing to say. His political performance is not as good as others, so who can be blamed? I'm just thinking in my heart, our Majesty is really as smart as a demon.
"There is one more thing." Zhu Houzhao came down and walked slowly among the courtiers, "I have been thinking about the issue of corruption recently. I remember that when I was still a prince, I had to deal with many corruption cases. However, after a few years, it seems that it has not No improvement. You are all my trusted ministers, and I believe it. But judging from this case in Huai'an Prefecture, the corruption of officials is doubly shocking.
According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, officials can be promoted, but clerks have no chance of promotion. Think about it, if you are a small official in the county government, since you cannot be promoted to an official position, where will you focus on it? "
Be an official
Get rich.
"To make money." Zhu Houzhao said this word himself, "Moreover, officials often serve in one place for a long time. After ten or twenty years, they have become stubborn. They are like local snakes. Hmm, they are afraid of the county magistrate who has average means. I was also played by him."
This topic is somewhat important. How officials and officials are promoted, the connotation behind it is by no means simple. It can be said to be a fundamental change in the officialdom. Yang Yiqing, Liang Chu and others were all experienced old bureaucrats, and their expressions suddenly became solemn after hearing the emperor's words.
