Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1567, I am ready to retire at the age of sixty

The mansion of Liu Jin in the capital.

Xu Wan'er and Li Zhen are personally dressing Liu Jin in the official mansion and official hat. Cranes are embroidered on the crimson robe, official uniforms that can only be worn by first-rank officials.

Liu Jin himself was handsome and handsome. Although he was in his thirties, he still looked the same as in his twenties, with a more mature charm on his body.

As the saying goes, thirty-one flowers for a man, that's exactly what it says, a man is still young but has a real masculinity.

The two looked at Liu Jin while dressing Liu Jin, and the more they looked at it, the more they liked it, their little faces flushed.

"Msang-gong looks really good in this suit."

Xu Wan'er slightly adjusted Liu Jin's clothes, her eyes were full of joy.

She was born in a wealthy family, and she knew too well what an honor Liu Jin was wearing in the first-class official uniform.

The pursuit of military generals in life is to seal wolves and live in Xuxu, while civil servants, officials, first-rank officials, generals and ministers, and assisting the king are their highest ideals and pursuits.

Liu Jin joined the cabinet and was promoted to a first-rank official. It can be said that he has basically achieved the pinnacle of civil servants. In previous dynasties, he would be the prime minister.

Liu Jin has already done it in his thirties, and the eyes of many civil servants in the Manchu Dynasty are red.

At the age of more than [-], many people may not even pass the Jinshi exam, let alone the first rank of the official residence, and become old in the cabinet.

The speed of Liu Jin's promotion can be described as sitting on a rocket. He is young, powerful, the pillar of the country, and the humerus of the emperor. The youngest cabinet minister in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, there are also people who entered the cabinet in their thirties in history, such as the famous Zhang Juzheng and Zhou Yanru in the late Ming Dynasty. A real genius.

Both of them won the imperial examinations when they were teenagers, and they were selected as Jinshi when they were around [-] years old. They worked in the Imperial Academy to edit books and so on.

In the final analysis, it is because they were very young when they were elected and became Jinshi. They became Jinshi when they were around [-] years old, and they worked in the Imperial Academy.

Others are generally in their twenties for Zhongju, and Zhongjinshi are in their thirties or forties. After entering the Imperial Academy, they will be in their fifties or sixties after a few years, and they will be relatively old when they enter the cabinet again. big.

The speed of promotion is actually the same. The key is that they were too young when they were Jinshi, so they entered the cabinet when they were in their thirties and became cabinet ministers.

The same is true for Liu Jin, who was the number one scholar in high school at the age of [-], studied in the Imperial Academy, led soldiers in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, managed the treasury in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and worked in the Ministry of Officials for several years. It is reasonable to join the cabinet thing.

"Yeah, it reminds me of the time when he was the No. [-] scholar parading the streets."

Li Zhen is also full of admiration. Her grandfather Li Hui has been an official all her life and is not as big as Liu Jin's official position. She also knows very well what it means to enter the cabinet and become a cabinet minister.

"That was all many years ago."

As soon as Liu Jin heard this, he immediately recalled that time flies so fast, more than ten years have passed in a flash, thinking that he was just a scholar at the beginning, and now he has become a cabinet minister and a first-rank official in a blink of an eye.

"Master, you are now a cabinet minister in your thirties, and you will be tired after that. If you are still an official in your seventies like the Chief Assistant, you will have to work for decades. "

Xu Wan'er looked at Liu Jin, thought for a while and said.

"I won't work until I am seventy or eighty. I will retire when I am sixty, or even fifty years old. At that time, I will take my two beautiful wives to travel all over the great mountains and rivers of Daming, look around, and walk around. , how good it is to travel in the mountains and play in the water."

"I'm not going to devote my whole life to work."

When Liu Jin heard this, he shook his head immediately.

He's in his seventies and eighties, if he doesn't go back and take care of his old age, is he going to die at work?

Although it is indeed a good feeling to hold great power, if someone like Liu Jian, who is already in his seventies or nearly eighty, is still working hard, it is seriously inconsistent with Liu Jin's own plan for life.

Liu Jin from later generations does not want to work until he is sixty or seventy years old, in his fifties, at most sixty, Liu Jin will retire, and then he will take his two beautiful wives to travel around the mountains and rivers. Isn't it good to play?
Does it make sense to stick to work?

"Beautiful wife, by that time, we will all be old, you will definitely change your mind and don't like us both."

When Xu Wan'er heard it, she immediately felt happy in her heart, but she said it sadly after thinking about it.

"Where would it be? In my eyes, you will always be the most beautiful. No matter whether the sea is dry or the rocks are rotten, or the sea is changing, you will always be my favorite."

"Come on, give me a kiss~"

Liu Jin hugged one with one hand, and kissed it with his mouth.

"There is someone here~"

Xu Wan'er and Li Zhen were half-pushing, saying that there were servants, but they didn't hide away. They didn't know how sweet it was in their hearts. Look at Liu Jin, and then look at those big families in the capital. Who doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Yes, Liu Jin is so infatuated, only the two of them.

"Haha, wait until I come back~"

After kissing his beautiful wife, Liu Jin was so proud of his horseshoe that he went out, got into a four-wheeled carriage and headed for the palace.

"Liu Gong~"

"Liu Gong~"

"Liu Gong~"

When I came outside the imperial city, there was still some time before the morning court. When I saw Liu Jin walking in a brand-new first-rank official mansion, the officials I met along the way also greeted Liu Jin one after another.

"Morning Lee~"

"Morning, prince~"

Liu Jin also responded with a smile one by one.

In the past, although Liu Jin was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he was in charge of officials all over the world, but because Liu Jin was young, many officials were reluctant to call Liu Jin Liu Gong, but Master Liu. Now that he has entered the cabinet, his status is higher , One by one also called Liu Gonglai.

"Stinky boy, how does it feel to be a cabinet boss?"

As usual, Liu Jin also came to the front position, and Zhang Mao came over and asked.

"Ahem, it still feels pretty good."

Liu Jin replied with a smile.

Looking at Zhang Mao again, he is also very old, his hair is gray, and his body is getting worse day by day.

"It's better to be young. At a young age, you are already old in the cabinet in your thirties. It's really enviable."

Zhang Mao looked at Liu Jin, who was young, handsome, and confident, and looked at himself, he was already old, and he was able to become the British Duke only by relying on the blessings of his ancestors.

If you let yourself take the imperial examination and become an official, you will rest for the rest of your life to be Liu Jin's position.

"By the way, why didn't I marry my granddaughter to you at that time? It was a waste of time, Old Xu."

Zhang Mao thought of being a matchmaker for Liu Jin. At that time, he felt that Liu Jin's future was limitless. Who knows how many years have passed, and he has already become an old man in the cabinet.

"Mr. Zhang, it's not too late now."

Liu Jin knew that Lao Zhang was joking with him, so he said it with a thick face.

"Go, go~"

When Zhang Mao heard this, he immediately waved his hands again and again.

"Haha~"

Liu Jin came to Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Qi Zhong, Han Wen and others with a smile.

Liu Jin entered the cabinet, and Zhong Zhong changed from the Minister of the Ministry of Households to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Although the grade has not changed, there is still a big difference between the Ministry of Accounting and the Ministry of Officials. The ministry is now, and before it was released, the life of the minister of the household department was the most difficult. He was poor and wanted money everywhere, but the treasury could starve the rats to death.

Han Wen used to be the servant of the household department, and now he has given birth to a first grade and has become the minister of the household department. He is also smiling now, after all, he has been promoted.

"Liu Gong, Li Gong, Qi Gong, Han Gong~"

"Liu Gong~"

Several people met and greeted each other.

A few people looked at Liu Jin in front of them. He was young and tall. The key point was that he was already a cabinet minister in his thirties. Under the influence of Liu Jin.

Thinking about myself, when I was in my thirties, I just started to enter the official career. I feel that when I was in my fifties, I slowly made it to the top. Only when I was sixty years old did I have my current status and status. .

Among them, Li Dongyang was able to compare with Liu Jin a little bit. Li Dongyang was a Jinshi in high school at the age of seventeen.

It stands to reason that Li Dongyang could have entered the cabinet early, but Li Dongyang was not very lucky. Since he entered the Imperial Academy, his original wife Liu died of illness, and his father-in-law died of illness the next year. My younger brother died of illness again, and Yue Shi, who continued in a few years, died of illness again.

A year later, Li Dongyang's second brother died of illness again, and after a few years of rest, his father died of illness again, and he had to return to his hometown to guard the system for a few years, which delayed his promotion.

Later, in the eighth year of Hongzhi, Li Dongyang's second son died of illness. A few years later, he himself fell ill again. Man, in grief, I went to Fangshan to choose a cemetery for myself.

It can be said that although Li Dongyang is similar to Liu Jin, young and talented, he won the Jinshi at a young age, and was among the best in the examination, but he has been sick or someone in his family died of illness along the way.

But even so, Li Dongyang was already a cabinet minister at the age of forty-eight, which is very young.

So, when you become an official, luck is also very important.

"Still young~"

Li Dongyang and Liu Jian looked at Liu Jin and couldn't help sighing.

At the age of more than [-], he is already a cabinet minister, which is really enviable. Thinking about his own life, the gap is really not that big. Although he is also a cabinet minister, he is already old and his body is not as good as it is. It's been a day.

After all, the future belongs to these young people.
