The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Han Wen felt slightly happy.

Wang Hao did not come to Beijing for three years, and there were many changes in the imperial court, none of which he was familiar with.

60%, I still underestimated this guy. Yan Chengjin is at least 80% sure, right?

Yan Chengjin thought about it carefully. Wang Hao had been an official in the Ministry of Personnel for many years. It was not easy to find a question to stump him.

"Master Wang, please listen to the question. May I ask, Master Wang, how many times have there been civil administrations since the thirteenth year of Hongzhi?"

Baiguan couldn't help but feel a little nervous. If he answered this question incorrectly, there would be no third question.

Wang Hao had some sweat on his palms and wiped them on his official clothes.

He counted five times in his mind, but he felt that it would not be that simple, "Four times!"

There was a sigh.

All the officials shook their heads, secretly feeling sorry for Wang Hao.

If Wang Kuo does not agree to the recommendation of the Three Dukes, he may be appointed Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Now, they also see that Wang Hao has many political inadequacies.

Yan Chengjin bowed slightly and returned to the queue. There was no third question.

Wang Hao's face turned pale and he said, "Master Yan, what do you mean by this? Is this wrong?"

Han Wen was slightly excited: "Seven times. First, the salaries of officials all over the world were increased by 30%. Second, more than 1,200 officials were abolished in Shu. Third, a new official system was added in Liaodong to govern the Rongwang vassal state. Fourth, , Tobe Shin The customs office was established. Fifthly, four new departments were established in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Sixthly, the chief officer of the Economic Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was promoted to the fourth rank, on par with the six ministries. Seventhly, the Annan Chief Envoy Department was added and three hundred officials were dispatched. The remaining people are the same as Hainan."

Wang Hao stood in the center of the hall in a daze.

The calm voices struck him in the heart like a huge stone.

This morning, he specially combed his hair and trimmed his beard.

But now, he wants to find a big porcelain bottle and get into it.

Liu Jian showed a little disappointment. The Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel is the head of the officials, how can he not be familiar with business.

Wang Hao bowed and said: "I feel ashamed to stay in the court, and I sincerely ask your majesty to allow you to return home."

Emperor Hongzhi was a little unhappy. Yan Chengjin was so angry that his ministers resigned from office at every turn.

"The words of Wang Qing's family are serious. I have measured the power of heaven and earth, opened up the brightness of the sun and moon, listened to the opinions of the crowd, and selected capable ministers to fulfill their duties. How can I let such great talents as Wang Qing's family go?"

Yan Chengjin, please apologize to Wang Qing’s family. "

It can be seen that His Majesty attaches great importance to the harmony of the court and is afraid of disputes like the previous dynasty.

Yan Chengjin bowed slightly to Wang Hao.

"The position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel will be held by the Han Qing family, and the Wang Qing family will serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments. As for the Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, let Wang Qiong fill it!"

Han Wen was a little excited: "I will definitely live up to the divine grace."

Wang Qiong's eyes shone, and he felt lost. He had just been promoted to the Right Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs for half a year, and he was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs!

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Hongzhi continued: "Wang Qing's family has gone to Jiubian, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be held concurrently by Yan Qing's family for the time being."

Yan Chengjin was slightly stunned. He was planning to recommend him: "I thank you, Your Majesty!"

After leaving the main hall, all the officials had different expressions.

Before going to court, everyone thought that Wang Hao was a heavenly official of the Ministry of Personnel, but who knew that it turned out to be Korean.

Wang Hao walked out of the main hall with a gloomy face, returned to the duty room, packed his things and prepared to go to the Ministry of Punishments for duty.

But he saw a figure wearing a human muzzle walking towards the duty room of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Who is it if it’s not Yan Chengjin?

"stop!"

Yan Chengjin was about to go on duty at the Metropolitan Procuratorate to avoid being sprayed by the three ministers when he returned to the cabinet. "Is there something wrong, Mr. Wang?"

"I have just returned to the capital, so why should I complain or worry about you? You want to embarrass me like this?!"

Wang Hao didn't understand that Han Wen and Yan Chengjin were not familiar with each other. With Yan Chengjin's nature, he should just sit back and watch.

"Master Wang is worried, Master Han is indeed more qualified than you." Yan Chengjin thought to himself, it seems that he will double Wang Hao's files.

Wang Hao's eyes nearly popped out and he snorted coldly.

Until the end of the day, I still couldn't let go. I returned to the house, breathing heavily.

Seeing that his father was unhappy, Wang Yansu said: "I just returned to the capital with worry, what is my father worried about? I want to share my father's worries."

"You are so useless! You are the most useless, you can't even be a good candidate."

Wang Hao has four sons. The eldest son is the right deputy prime minister of Dali Temple, the second son is on duty as the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army, and the third son is preparing for fame.

Only the fourth son became a member of Zhongshushe.

Those who paint and write for His Majesty are, to put it more unpleasantly, like those famous actresses who perform their arts in brothels for the gentry.

Shame on you!

Wang Yanzhao lowered his head in shame, his face flushed, and he did not dare to speak out in defense.

Born into a wealthy family, one can avoid hunger and cold, but one has to win glory for one's family.

The next day, it was early in the morning.

When he was on duty at the Middle School, Wang Yanzhao was still worried about his father: "Brother Xu, does he know what happened in the palace that made my father unhappy?"

There are a small number of staff in the Zhongshushe who can write imperial edicts, make imperial edicts, etc.

However, they all work in the clerk's office and cabinet.

The spare Zhongshushe people like them can only stay here and are not well-informed.

Xu Kui whispered: "The Ministry of Civil Affairs originally wanted to choose your father, Mr. Wang, but Yan Chengjin colluded with Han Wen and recommended Han Wen."

Yan Chengjin?

Wang Yanzhao turned his eyes slightly and wrote a bullet in anger.

Before I even got off duty, I came to Liu Mansion.

Liu Lai was a little surprised. After Wang Yanzhao returned to his hometown of Dingyou, he never saw him again.

"Brother Liu, please help my foolish brother to hand it over to His Majesty!"

“Who are you going to impeach?”

"Dog officer Yan Chengjin!"

Liu Lai showed an angry look on his face and pushed the memorial away fiercely: "Lord Yan is the most honest official in the world! Don't blame me for breaking off our friendship with you if you slander me like this!"

Wang Yanzhao was stunned.

When he was still in the Zhongshushe, Liu Lai had a very good relationship with him and talked about everything. But how could he become so ruthless after three years of mourning?

"Go away, don't mention this matter again!"

Wang Yanzhao picked up the impeachment letter and left angrily.

After leaving Liu's house, he felt more and more angry, so he asked about Yan Chengjin's house directly and decided to argue with Yan Chengjin.

After asking for a long time, he finally asked about the whereabouts of Anding Hou and found Yan's house.

Wang Yanzhao waited in the alley, and soon saw a blue sedan slowly coming.

"Excuse me, is it Lord Yan's sedan?!"

"Why are you holding the impeachment letter? Do you want to assassinate me?" Yan Chengjin's eyes condensed, and he first judged that there might be a knife hidden in the impeachment letter.

Wang Yanzhao said angrily: "I am the son of Wang Ao, and I want to seek justice for my father!"

If Han Wen hadn't come to Yan Chengjin, this official in the Ministry of Personnel would have belonged to his father.

In the eyes of these scholars, it was an unfair victory!

Yan Chengjin fell into deep thought. It seemed that he recommended Han Wen, but in fact it was the intention of His Majesty.

He was a small cabinet minister with no real power and was far from the chief minister.

If His Majesty didn't make a decision, no matter how much he said, it would be useless.

Yan Chengjin said lightly: "This is His Majesty's intention. Your father was unfamiliar with political affairs, so he lost the election. It has nothing to do with me. You can find out if you ask."

The sedan chair landed in front of the door, and Yan Chengjin entered the mansion.

Leaving Wang Yanzhao alone in the alley.

When Wang Ao returned to the mansion, he saw his son holding a memorial, looking distraught, and he shouted: "You are a secretary, what kind of memorial is it for you to write!"

"Dad, I just went to see Lord Yan, and he said that you were negligent in government affairs, so you failed to be selected as the Ministry of Personnel."

Wang Yanzhao raised his head slightly and looked at his father's face.

Wang Ao took the memorial away: "What does this have to do with you? Go back to your room and read a book."
