The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Chen Younian, the director of the Selected Literature Department, looked at Lin Tailai with a slightly proud look. Do you think you can influence the situation by coming to the meeting?

Human resources work, especially high-end human resources work, pays more attention to rules and regulations, and you are not allowed to go eccentric or opportunistic!

The qualifications that others have accumulated for decades are right here. How can you, Lin Tailai, deny it?

Even if the chief assistant is sitting here, the most he can do is nominate Wu Shilai, the censor of Zuodu!

If you are an ordinary newcomer, when meeting in the new unit, you usually keep a low profile, listen as much as possible, watch as much as possible, and talk as little as possible.

But Lin Tailai was obviously different. When he came to the Qingliu Nest of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he came to blatantly grab territory. How could he miss the opportunity to exert his influence.

If you arrive at the Ministry of Personnel and still can’t direct the nomination of important personnel, then wouldn’t it be a waste of time to come to the Ministry of Personnel!

So Lin Tailai carefully reviewed in his mind the senior and second-grade practical official he knew.

Wang Situ didn't need to think about it. In order to avoid suspicion, there would definitely be no chance, unless Lin Tailai and Wang Xiangmeng left hand in hand;

Forget about Hai Rui and Hai Qingtian, with their poor academic qualifications, it is impossible to become the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Although there is no explicit regulation, traditionally the Minister of Personnel is to select officials with Hanlin background as much as possible, but later the restrictions were not so strict.

But even if the conditions are relaxed, it is impossible for a person to be appointed as Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Keep thinking about it, Nanjing's Minister of Civil Affairs, Nanjing's Minister of Household Affairs, and Nanjing's Minister of Punishment are here!

Finally, Lin Tailai suddenly thought of a character whose rank and qualifications seemed to be perfect.

At this time, Chen Younian was a little impatient and said to Wang Yongji, the right servant, "What other suggestions does Mr. Shaozhong have?"

Lin Tailai said hurriedly: "I am here to propose a candidate. He is a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing. He is highly respected and has many years of experience.

This man has been famous throughout the country for decades. He is very elegant and good at understanding people. He is really the most suitable candidate to be promoted to Heavenly Official! "

Wang Yongji, who presided over the meeting, asked curiously: "Who is this? Could it be some old man who is living at home?"

Lin Tailai slapped the case and said: "Wang Shizhen, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment of Nanjing!"

Wang Yongji: "."

Are you talking about the old literary leader and official bastard who spends two-thirds of his time on leave?

Wang Yongji had worked in Nanjing for two years before, so of course he knew what Wang Shizhen was like!

"How could he?" Chen Younian subconsciously denied it.

Regardless of whether it makes sense or not, as long as it is someone who is mentioned by Lin Tailai, he should first deny it before speaking. This is the basic principle of political struggle.

Lin Tailai retorted easily, "Wang Shizhen is more than ten years older than Song Hui and Sun Piyang, and is on par with Lu Guangzu. Do you think this qualification is enough?

Wang Shizhen's official position is the second-level minister. Do you think this level is enough?

Since Lu Guangzu, Song Hui, and Sun Piyang can all be nominated, why can't Wang Shizhen be nominated? "

Chen Younian couldn't bear it and scolded: "You are so messy!"

Is it a joke to nominate a well-known old bastard from the officialdom to be a Heavenly Official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, whose dignity is about equal to that of a cabinet minister?

What do those people who work hard at their jobs think?

The most important thing is that at last year's literary conference, Wang Shizhen betrayed Zhao Yongxian and Gu Xiancheng, and they are now class enemies!

Lin Tailai pointed at Chen Younian and said to Wang Yongji: "Look at Shaozukazai, he nominated three people in one breath, and I didn't say anything.

And I just nominated a person based on his standards, and he said he was messing around. Is there any justice?

Although the selection is mainly made by the Department of Literature and Selection, it’s not like I can’t speak, right? Otherwise, what's the point of having me come to the meeting? "

Wang Yongji responded angrily: "You two proposed four candidates, but I didn't mention any of them, so what can I say?"

This is the current situation of most ordinary ministers. They have less say in ministry affairs than powerful ministers.

Lin Tailai suggested again: "There is also Wu Shilai, the censor of Zuodu, who I heard is the chief assistant.

Shaozukazai, why don't you nominate Wu Shilai symbolically to give the chief assistant some face, lest the chief assistant be displeased with our official team. "

Wang Yongji: "."

Then why don't you give the chief assistant this face? Or do you think that there is no need to give the chief assistant this face?

Chen Younian denied it again and said: "Wang Shizhen has had no achievements as an official in recent years, so how can he convince the public?"

How did Mr. Wang become an official? Don't you, Lin Tailai, have any idea?

Lin Tailai sarcastically said: "Lu Guangzu is in the Ministry of Justice and Song Hu is in the Ministry of Works. What use is this kind of performance to being the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?

If you only look at your performance in selecting officials, then you, Chen Younian, should be the Minister of Civil Affairs! Who has more achievements in this area than you? "

Wang Yongji stopped the two sides from quarreling with each other and decided: "As for the nomination of Tianguan, these people are enough."

Chen Younian snorted coldly and said nothing more. After all, the situation was still very good.

The three people he nominated, Lu Guangzu, Song Yu, and Sun Piyang, are all serious senior officials with impeccable performance, reputation, and qualifications.

Let’s look at the other two people, Wang Shizhen and Wu Shilai. What are they doing?

One is an old bastard in the officialdom, and the other has had a very bad reputation in recent years because he is the chief minister. How can he compare with Lu, Song, and Sun?

Instead of choosing Lu, Song, and Sun, choose Wang Laobasheng, unless all the ministers and emperors of the Manchu Dynasty are blind!

Today we are just drawing up the preliminary list, and there will be ministerial recommendations later.

The candidates are three to two or three to one, the advantage is mine!

At this moment, Lin Tailai also activated the "Learn from History" skill in his mind and recalled the historical situation.

In the chaotic period of the next few years, the chief minister will be replaced like a revolving door, the Minister of Rites will also be replaced frequently, and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel will also be replaced!

After the former Tianguan Yang Wei resigned, within three or four years, five people including Song Hu, Lu Guangzu, Sun Qin, Chen Younian and Sun Piyang became ministers of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

In other words, the three people nominated by Chen Younian and Chen Younian himself were all ministers of the Ministry of Personnel in history.

During this chaotic period, the only person in the main hall of the Qingliu forces who was not mentioned today was Li Shida.

In the history of the former Donglin Party era, the peak period of Qingliu forces' official positions was when Li Shida was the censor of Zuodu, Sun Quan was the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhao Nanxing was the doctor of the literary selection department, and Gu Xian became the doctor of the examination department.

It's not that Chen Younian didn't want to nominate Li Shida, but that in this time and space, Li Shida was deposed three years ago.

At that time, the Qingliu forces were encircling and suppressing the chief minister. Li Shida, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Nanjing at the time, went to Suzhou as an imperial envoy to raid the chief minister's lair and came face to face with the local bully Lin Daguan.

As a result, civil unrest broke out. The prefect and governor committed suicide one after another, and the imperial envoy Li Shida was dismissed from office for serious neglect of duty.

Of course, it is impossible for such a character to be nominated as Minister of Civil Affairs.

When thinking of this, Lin Tailai suddenly realized what Chen Younian's business idea was!

If Lu Guangzu, the Minister of Punishment, or Song Qi, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, were moved to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, wouldn't the positions of the Ministry of Punishment or the Ministry of Industry be freed up?

Then Li Shida, who has been reflecting at home for three years, has completed his "atonement" in an official sense, and will have the opportunity to be recommended and reinstated as minister.

In this case, the Qingliu forces in the six divisions would occupy half of the ministerial positions!

No matter what, this situation is absolutely not allowed to happen!

Originally, Lin Tailai nominated Wang Lao, an old gangster from the officialdom, with the intention of having fun, and it was more meaningful to disgust the Qingliu forces than to cause trouble.

But now it seems that we must seriously support Mr. Wang.

After all, Lin Tailai has no one to use him at the level of the second-grade official department, so he can only use waste as much as possible.

Then some backup tricks have to be taken out in advance!

After making up his mind, Lin Tailai sat up straight, with a mountain-like momentum that even Wang Yongji, the right servant next to him, felt the pressure.

Chen Younian's heart rang with alarm bells as he stood up slightly, ready to eject and rush out of the door!

Maybe Lin Tailai is going to give a speech but then take action!

Lin Tailai's sharp eyes shot at Chen Younian, and he said again as if casually: "Old Chen, when did you arrive at the Literary and Selection Department of the Ministry of Personnel?"

Chen Younian replied cautiously: "What does this have to do with today's ministry meeting? Just don't mention it!"

Lin Tailai asked and answered again: "As far as I know, when Shen Guide was promoted from Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel to Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, he appointed you as the doctor of the literary selection department before leaving.

That happened in the twelfth year of Wanli, which is exactly six years this year.

According to the official system, a three-year examination is a term. You have served two six-year terms as a literary candidate, and your term is about to expire again! "

Damn it! Chen Younian was shocked. Lin Tailai was going to attack him directly!

Lin Tailai then turned to Wang Yongji, the right minister, and asked: "Is there any example of a position like the Minister of Literature and Selection, responsible for selecting officials, being held for three consecutive nine-year terms?"

Wang Yongji replied: "Probably not."

Even if it is to prevent cliques and selfish interests, there is no reason to let one person serve as the doctor of the literary selection department for three consecutive terms for nine years.

Lin Tailai said: "Then congratulations to Old Chen for his promotion! You might as well strike while the iron is hot today and settle this matter in advance!"

Chen Younian cursed a few times in his mind, and he was sure that Lin Tailai wanted to directly remove the firepower!

Then he said: "My matter is not urgent. Today I will nominate the Minister and Zuo Shilang first."

Lin Tailai asked back: "Could it be that, Old Chen, you are greedy for the power of the Wenxuan Department and still want to stay?"

Chen Younian absolutely couldn't admit it and could only say: "That's not what I meant."

Lin Tailai immediately scolded: "If that's not what you mean, what do you mean? When other people's terms are about to come, they prepare for the end-of-term assessment in advance. Are you, Chen Younian, going to do something special?"

Do you, Chen Younian, really want to sit in the position of the Literature and Selection Department and dominate for a few more days?

I'm just saying to arrange your whereabouts in advance, but I'm not telling you to get out now! "

Chen Younian was speechless after being scolded, feeling angry but unable to fight back.

Lin Tailai then said to Wang Yongji, the right servant: "There are no fourth-grade official titles in the six departments, and ordinary doctors can only be promoted to deputy envoys first.

But with Chen Younian's qualifications and official position, he definitely cannot be the deputy envoy of the Imperial Guard. After all, he is a senior Jinshi in the 41st Jiajing period, the same year as the first and second assistants!

Therefore, I suggest that Chen Younian can be promoted to the fourth rank, Youqiandu Yushi Governor. As for the specific place, we should first look at the vacancies and then discuss with the Ministry of Household Affairs. "

Wang Yongji nodded and said, "This is a fair statement."

Although Lin Tailai and Chen Younian had a grudge, Lin Tailai's suggestions sounded fair and not disparaging in any way.

Chen Younian felt another shit in his heart! He stood up anxiously and said loudly: "The governor has a very important relationship, and I am beyond my ability. I am willing to participate in politics!"

Common sense in official circles is that participating in politics is definitely not as good as being a governor, but Chen Younian would rather participate in politics than become a governor!

Because according to the system, the governor of border towns is elected by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War, and the governor of the interior is elected by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs.

But Chen Younian knew very well, who was the Minister of Household Affairs? If I were promoted to governor, what good place could I go to?

Anyway, it's just a transitional position before being promoted to a minister. The governor and the councillor are the same in this sense!

Lin Tailai turned around and scolded: "Shut up! The Shao Zongzai and I are discussing your promotion. What qualifications do you have to speak?

When can I, an official of the Ming Dynasty, choose my own official position?"

Chen Younian: "."

After a pause, Chen Younian, who was silenced, quickly looked at the right minister Wang Yongji, but Wang Yongji ignored Chen Younian's pleading eyes.

How could a right minister who was usually despised not have resentment towards a powerful doctor?

You, Chen Younian, usually act like the boss and you are the second in command in the Ministry of Personnel. Why do you want to cram for the exam at the last minute?

Besides, what's wrong with promoting you to the fourth-rank governor? It doesn't violate any principles. Even if his idol Hai Qingtian comes, he won't say anything.

Chen Younian saw that Wang Yongji didn't say anything, so he didn't say anything either. Anyway, his term of office was indeed completed this year.

Wang Yongji indulged Lin Tailai today, and sooner or later you will suffer the consequences!

Lin Tailai picked up the tea and said slowly: "I have some different opinions on the issue of selecting officials for the Ministry of Personnel today.

Chen Younian nominated three candidates, isn't that inappropriate?"

Chen Younian had to retort: ​​"It is the responsibility of the Ministry of Literature to prepare candidates in advance, what's wrong with that?"

Lin Tailai still said slowly: "At the end of the term, such a large-scale nomination of candidates will have a bad impact, isn't it?

Isn't it a bit like using power to promote officials before leaving office?"

Chen Younian's anger could no longer be suppressed, and he asked: "What do you want to say with this weird tone?"

Lin Tailai continued to express his opinions, and said: "Even if only one official of the Ministry of Personnel can be selected in the end, Book, but as long as others can enter the candidate list, it is a kind of qualification and reputation!

The next time there is another opportunity, this candidate will naturally have priority.

So being nominated and entered the candidate list is equivalent to invisible promotion.

I think that Comrade Chen Younian, who is about to step down, is using the last time to promote others on a large scale in a sudden manner. This is a very politically irresponsible behavior.

If we sit back and do nothing, Comrade Chen Younian's wrong behavior will cause great damage to the court's career.

We must correct this in time and guide the work of selecting the Minister of Personnel on the right track!

Comrade Yongji, no, Shao Zongzai, you also say a few words? ”

Wang Yongji: “.”

Where did you learn all these words?

After thinking about it, Wang Yongji said to Chen Younian: “I think you just nominate one person. Lest you be accused of greed before leaving office, it will have a bad impact on you. ”

Chen Younian was silent and wanted to shut himself in.

In his most professional field of personnel work, he occupied the advantage of the home court of the Ministry of Literature and Selection, but he didn’t beat Lin Tailai!

Lin Tailai asked with concern: "Lu Guangzu and Song Xun, who do you choose to be on the candidate list? Do you want me to help you choose one?

If you don't want to choose either, then forget it, you don't have to nominate anyone this time."

"Get lost!" Chen Younian slammed the table and shouted: "Lu Guangzu!"

In the end, the list of candidates for the Minister of Personnel proposed by the Ministry of Personnel was: Wang Lao Hunzi, Lu Guangzu, and Wu Shilai.

The two old antiques in the 26th year of Jiajing actually spanned three dynasties for more than 40 years, and dueled for the Minister of Personnel in the 18th year of Wanli.

In the same year, the grass on the graves of Li Chunfang and Zhang Juzheng was three feet high.
