Rebirth: From being expelled from the imperial court to becoming a high-ranking official

There are quite a few Jinshi scholars waiting for vacancies in the capital. They all feel sorry for each other and like to get together whenever they have nothing to do, to complain and ask about each other's news.

Today is a day off, Qin Weilai and Feng Baochu came to see Qin Yunhe again.

The two people already knew that Qin Yunhe had gone to the Ministry of Personnel to report, and the way they looked at Qin Yunhe changed, with complexity and envy.

They are both now transferred to the Ministry of Revenue.

In fact, the Ministry of Revenue is a very good place for ordinary officials, but it is a bit useless for Jinshi who are learning to travel.

After all, they were just studying temporarily and it was impossible for them to be kept in the Ministry of Households.

Only the Ministry of Personnel can get information about job vacancies faster and more accurately, and that is where they are now urgently trying to go. Unexpectedly, Qin Yunhe, who is usually quiet and a little silly, got such an opportunity.

"Brother Yunhe, you are awesome. I didn't expect you would get the chance to work in the Ministry of Personnel." Qin Weilai patted Qin Yunhe's shoulder with mixed feelings.

Qin Yunhe was in a complicated mood, thinking that there was actually not much difference between being in the Ministry of Personnel or not.

"Hey, Brother Qin, do you have any connections?" Feng Baochu approached Qin Yunhe and touched his arm, asking eagerly.

Qin Yunhe didn't know how to explain it to the two of them, so he could only say, "There is no such thing as a connection. It was arranged by Shangguan."

"Shangguan? The head of the department? Or the official? Can you talk to the official?"

"How could that be possible? It was just the chief. When I was chatting with him, he mentioned that he wanted to go to the Ministry of Personnel..."

Qin Weilai seemed unconvinced, his eyes were somewhat unhappy: "How is it possible, you just don't want to say it? You said you wanted to go to the Ministry of Personnel, so I let you go to the Ministry of Personnel?"

Feng Baochu seemed to have figured out the key point: "Brother Qin, we are friends, don't hide it from us! Tell me the truth, have you passed the waiver? To the chief official or the deputy minister?"

Qin Yunhe said helplessly: "Really not, I just mentioned it to the person in charge in a tactful way."

Now even Feng Baochu was a little bit unconvinced: "Did you mention it to the person in charge in a tactful way? Yunhe, my dear brother, you are being unkind. We have known each other for a few days, why don't you tell us the truth? Even if we go, we won't stand in your way..."

"Hey, can't you see? He just doesn't want to say it. He's afraid that you will take his position!" Qin Weilai said half angry and half gloomy.

Qin Yunhe was unfamiliar with the capital city, and apart from He Wenshuang, he only had a decent relationship with these two people. Of course, he didn't want them to misunderstand him.

In desperation, Qin Yunhe had to tell them what He Wenshuang had said to him.

Who would have thought that when Qin Weilai and Feng Baochu heard this, they suddenly realized, "So it's because of the Hanlin Academy! No wonder!"

Qin Yunhe was startled and quickly shook his hands: "No, no, Brother He is just a scholar, I just gave me an idea."

Feng Baochu laughed and said, "Just a Shujishi? Brother Qin, Shujishi are known as the prime minister. Why didn't you tell us about this relationship earlier?"

Qin Yunhe was very helpless. The Shujishi was just observing the government, and the person in charge was at least a sixth-rank official. How could he listen to a Jinshi who was observing the government?

"Brother Qin, Brother Feng, this matter really has nothing to do with Brother He. He just gave me an idea. You can also try to mention it to the person in charge. Maybe it can be transferred to the Ministry of Personnel next time."

Although Qin Yunhe felt that going to the Ministry of Personnel or not didn't seem to have much impact, now that they cared so much about it, he had no choice but to share his experience with them.

Qin Weilai didn't say anything else, but judging from his expression, he still didn't believe it and was even more displeased.

Feng Baochu didn't show anything, just smiled and said, "Well, let's not talk about that. Anyway, it's a good thing that you can go to the Ministry of Personnel. Remember me if there is any news later."

Qin Yunhe knew that it was useless to say more and had to give up, and just nodded perfunctorily.

Although the matter was over, the atmosphere between the three people was still a little awkward. In the end, they just had some drinks and dispersed.

After leaving the tavern, Qin Yunhe returned to the inn, while Qin Weilai and Feng Bao went in the same direction.

"I thought Qin Wen was an honest man, but I didn't expect he had ulterior motives. What do you mean by just talking to the boss and it's all done? I tried my best to please the boss but he rejected me. What do you mean just say it and it's all done?" Qin Weilai was obviously very angry and started complaining as soon as he left.

Feng Baochu quickly turned around to look. Although he knew Qin Yunhe had gone far away, he was still afraid that he might hear him.

"Brother Qin, don't be like that. It's not necessarily that Brother Yunhe doesn't want to say it. I think he is a little naive. Maybe his fellow townsman has some good relationships with people and helped him say it?

No matter what, he is in the Ministry of Personnel now, so he is always better informed than us. Why do you have to make trouble with him? "

Qin Weilai was still angry: "I never wanted to be unhappy with him. Do you think we have been very sincere to him these days?

He is so good. It has been so long. Have you ever heard him say that he has a fellow countryman who is a scholar? If he could not hide it this time, who knows how long he would have kept it secret. "

Feng Baochu advised again: "Brother Qin Xian! I have to be fair. Yunhe just said that he just met this fellow villager not long ago."

Qin Weilai was still unhappy: "Listen to what he said! How could his fellow villager who could help him so much not look for him when he knew he was coming?"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Feng Baochu changed the subject, and the two of them went somewhere else to play.

The next day, I went to the Ministry of Personnel as usual to report.

Early in the morning, the person in charge handed Qin Yunhe a stack of papers for him to organize and copy.

Qin Yunhe is used to it now. There is nothing much to say. Just copy it.

This stack of papers contains information on officials' promotions and transfers. It can be seen that they are not from the same department and the recording methods are not unified.

His job was to organize this information, copy it according to the unified format of the Ministry of Personnel, and finally bind it into books.

"...Xu Wei, in the year of Renchen...prefect of Yingchang Prefecture...March..."

"Eh?" Qin Yunhe suddenly realized something was wrong when he copied here.

He took out the page he had copied earlier and checked it: ...Xu Wei...the prefect of Longde Prefecture...

Is it the same name?

Qin Yunhe looked back at his birthplace: ... Renzi year ... Xingrui County, Taiyuan Prefecture ...

exactly the same.

Qin Yunhe hesitated for a moment and went to find the person in charge.

"Master, here are two transfer information, and there seems to be something wrong."

As he spoke, Qin Yunhe pointed out the problems he had discovered to the person in charge.

The official took a look and frowned, "It is indeed wrong. I am afraid the clerk copied it wrong. I will go and ask."

Not long after, the official came back with the two pages and handed back one of them: "It was indeed the clerk who made a mistake in recording. This one is correct."

"Okay, sir. I'll re-enter it."

Having said that, Qin Yunhe took another page of paper and started copying.

The chief official did not leave, but praised with a smile: "Not bad, it was worth it that I specifically asked the official to bring you here."

Qin Yunhe looked up at the person in charge in surprise, his face full of confusion: Wasn’t it the person in charge of the Ministry of Rites who asked him to come?

Seeing that he looked confused, the official smiled and said, "Official Han from the Ministry of Rites told me several times that the Jinshi who learned to walk from him this time had fast hands, good handwriting and was careful. It's just right that you should be transferred, so I said I would ask the Yuanwailang to bring you here."

Qin Yunhe suddenly realized that there was this section.

Tobe

"Qin Weilai, what are you copying? The Shaanxi Provincial Governor's support for the Integrity Bureau is 80 taels of silver? What can 80 taels of silver support the Integrity Bureau for?"

Qin Weilai had been busy for nearly two hours and had finally finished recording a file on officials' salaries. Now his back was aching, so he had the chance to massage his back.

Unexpectedly, before he put his hand down, the person in charge threw the notebook he had just copied back to him.

Qin Weilai was startled and opened the notebook in a panic. He didn't know where the page was and was sweating profusely. He could only look for it while hurriedly admitting his mistake.

"I deserve to die. Master, please don't worry. I will correct it right away. If you need it urgently, I copied it too hastily..."

The head of the Ministry of Revenue had a look of disdain on his face: "It's just some copying work that can't even be done properly, how can you get anything done by scheming?"

After saying this, the person in charge flicked his sleeves and left.
