"A high position, but not too high?" Zhu Zhanji wondered, "Why is that? Didn't you say he is very powerful?"
Li Qing sighed: "He is so... maverick."
"Aren't you the same?"
"We are different." Li Qing didn't want to explain too much, "If you believe me, just do as I say. If you don't, forget it."
Zhu Zhanji said speechlessly: "Uncle Qing, you are really cool."
"Oh, looking at the Ming Dynasty, there will never be another Li Qing." Li Qing pretended, "Okay, if you have nothing else to do, just go and work. I'm a little tired."
You are older than my father. Who is the prince and who is the minister? I won't have a good life if I meet you, Li Qing... Zhu Zhanji said helplessly, "I'll give Yu Qian the title of doctor, right?"
"Well, I'll leave this favor to you." Li Qing smiled, "How about it? Am I interesting enough?"
Zhu Zhanji touched his nose and muttered: "I originally wanted to have a drink with you, humph, it's okay if I don't drink."
"Hey~" Li Qing sneered: "You are empty-handed, you are obviously just eating and drinking."
"……goodbye!"

The Ministry of War Yamen.
Yu Qian flipped through the military books to pass the boring time.
Among the six departments, the Ministry of War is the most leisurely department. As long as there is no war, officials spend most of their time fishing.
It's not that I'm lazy, there really isn't much to do.
"Yu Qian."
When he heard someone calling him, Yu Qian raised his head and saw that the person was Zhu Zhanji. He stood up quickly and said, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
"No courtesy." Zhu Zhanji sat opposite Yu Qian, "Sit down."
Yu Qian cupped his hands and sat down.
"What are you looking at?"
"Book of War."
"Are you interested in the military?"
"...Yes." Yu Qianxin said: I have nothing to do, so I can't just sleep at home, right?
Zhu Zhanji smiled and asked, "Do you want to do something?"
"I think." Yu Qian said straightforwardly.
Zhu Zhanji nodded: "The imperial court wants to increase its efforts to implement the national policy of people's migration. Now is the time to hire people. You have gone to the south twice to suppress the bandits, and you are familiar with it.
This prince is going to recommend you to your father to be promoted to the position of doctor in the Ministry of War, responsible for migration matters. Are you willing? "
"willing."
You are so upright, why don't you express your gratitude... Zhu Zhanji seemed to have seen Li Qing Er, and said angrily: "Let's go, I will take you into the palace."
"Ah?" Yu Qian was happy and surprised, "This... you still want to see the emperor?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Zhu Zhanji rolled his eyes, "The appointment of officials in the six ministries must be approved by the emperor. How can I, the prince, go beyond the rules?"
Actually, what I mean is, Prince, just give me a message. Is it necessary for me to enter the palace? Yu Qian stood up and said, "Prince, please."
The two walked out of the military department and rushed to the palace.
On the way, Zhu Zhanji had a casual chat, which seemed to be unorganized, but in fact it was a test of Yu Qian's ability.
Li Qing recommended Yu Qian to him more than once. Zhu Zhanji also had a certain understanding of Qian, but felt that Yu Qian was not yet capable of carrying the banner.
Including the conversation along the way, he still believed that Yu Qian was not as capable as Li Qing said.
However, Li Qing's vision has always been accurate. At least he has never seen Li Qing overturn his car.
Based on this, Zhu Zhanji did not give up the idea of cultivating Yu Qian.

When they arrived at the Imperial Study Room, Zhu Zhanji recommended him, and Xiaopang agreed. The process went very smoothly.
Yu Qian feels a little dreamy, is he going to be promoted?
Yang Shiqi and others just glanced at Yu Qian, then lowered their heads and continued working. He was just a small doctor and not worthy of their attention.
Their opponents are the ministers and ministers of the six departments!
Xiaopang is much busier now than when he was the prince, especially the two major national policies of opening up the sea and relocation, which make him even more worried.
"Yang Qing, go and inform the Sixth Ministry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to come to the imperial study."
Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong looked at each other and raised their hands together: "I obey your order."
Xiaopang wanted to run away when he saw both of them, so he said angrily: "Just one of them will do it."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The two exchanged glances, and finally Yang Rong walked out.
…
Half an hour later, a group of big guys arrived one after another, and Yu Qian was pushed to the back. He could neither leave nor stay.
Xiaopang put down the memorial in his hand and issued the migration policy: "This time the out-migration population is concentrated in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan and Hunan, Yunnan, Fujian, Sichuan and Shu, and the in-migration population is concentrated in Hebei, Shandong, and Liaodong;
Mainly Liaodong! "
"I obey the order." The ministers cupped their hands.
Xiaopang added: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate, Six Ministries, and the Cabinet will assist and supervise each other. In addition, Jinyiwei and Dongchang will also be involved. I hope that all of you, dear friends, will not disappoint me."
After a pause, "This time the people move, the cabinet will decide where to go!"
Everyone's expressions changed, the six departments looked solemn, and the cabinet secretly rejoiced.
Jian Yi immediately said: "Your Majesty, this relocation is very heavy, and it may be difficult to implement it without taking the leading role. I sincerely ask your Majesty to allow the ministers of the six ministries to also go to the place."
"I second the proposal." Xia Yuanji followed closely.
"I second the proposal."
Officials from the six departments played at the same time.
The smile on the cabinet's face froze, and Yang Shiqi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Six Ministers have too much to do. If they leave, they may delay government affairs."
"The Secretary is fully responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel, and there will never be any mistakes." Jian Yi glanced at Yang Shiqi and said calmly, "Although I am old, I can still do my job."
"The Ministry of Household Affairs will not delay government affairs."
"The Ministry of Punishment will not delay anything."
"The Ministry of Industry will not delay."
"The Ministry of Etiquette doesn't."
Several ministers spoke one after another, and finally looked at Li Qing.
"Neither does the Ministry of War."
Xiaopang nodded: "In that case, I agree."
"emperor……"
"Master Yang," Jian Yi interrupted, "in order to better implement the national policy, the emperor would rather send you secretaries out. Can't we ministers work harder?"
"That's right." Yin Yang, the Minister of Rites, said: "There are always some people who like to judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."
"You..." Yang Shiqi was angry.
"Okay." Xiaopang said without any doubt: "This matter has been settled. You can discuss the specific details later. I only want the result."
He glanced at everyone and said, "No matter who holds back this national policy, I will not take it lightly."
Everyone's heart trembled: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Okay, everyone, please step back." Xiaopang waved his hand, "We will leave in three days, and the benefits for people migrating will be increased by 30%. Xia Aiqing, please work hard and transfer a batch of money and food as soon as possible to ensure the people's rations on the road;
The amount of money and food is directly linked to the prince! "
"I obey the decree."
"Okay, let's all disperse." Xiaopang waved his hand.
"I'll take my leave."
…
Outside the palace gate.
The two groups of people who disliked each other simply stopped pretending.
Jian Yi said: "I am the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Let's go to my residence to discuss it!"
"The lower officials do not agree with what Jian Shangshu said." Yang Shiqi snorted, "Is it possible that when discussing the implementation of national policies, we are comparing whose official position is greater?"
"Otherwise?" Jian Yi sneered: "There is a clear text in the Ming Dynasty law: when a subordinate meets a superior, he must bow to the superior and must not disobey the superior. Doesn't Great Scholar Yang know...
Oh, yes, Grand Scholar Yang is from a wild background and doesn’t even have any honors. It’s normal not to know, but it’s my fault. "
"Hahaha..." Everyone in the six departments burst into laughter.
Even a few people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who were united with the cabinet, could not help but show ridicule.
There is also a chain of contempt in the officialdom. As a civil servant, 'academic qualifications' are particularly important.
Even the officials at the same level are divided into three, six or nine grades. The Jinshi has the highest status, the Jinshi is the second, and the same Jinshi has the lowest status. As for the candidates... I'm sorry, I won't look at you seriously.
As for Yang Shiqi, he is not even a scholar.
Speaking of which, this dear friend also relied on Fang Xiaoru's recommendation to enter the Hanlin Academy and became an old scholar.
After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he severely punished Fang Xiaoru's students, but only spared Yang Shiqi.
The reason is naturally that Yang Shiqi is aware of current affairs, but more importantly, this guy is eloquent and indeed talented.
Moreover, Yang Shiqi was familiar with the Book of Changes and had some skills as a sorcerer. Emperors were always interested in this kind of things, and Zhu Di was no exception, so he kept him.
Jian Yi said that Yang Shiqi had taken a wild path, which was not unfair to him at all.
He doesn't hit people in the face, and he doesn't expose his faults when he scolds people. Although Yang Shiqi has a good reputation, he lost his mind instantly after being rebuffed by Jian Yi.
"What? Do you still want to fight?" Jian Yi rolled up his sleeves, "Come if you feel like it."
This was outside the palace, and the emperor was not here. Jian Yi had no scruples. He had long disliked the people in the cabinet.
Yang Shiqi's eyes turned red and he was about to take action immediately.
Yang Rong quickly grabbed him and whispered: "Old Yang, calm down, there are many of them."
What an amazing person, I don't want to lose face... Yang Shiqi was so angry that he glared at Jian Yi: "I don't bother to argue with you."
