Daming heir

The big bosses of the Ming Dynasty's cabinet are busy planning for the new world.

In the larger imperial officialdom and administrative system, every official will become busier due to various new plans imposed by the upper levels.

At this time, few people are thinking about how they can inherit the wisdom of their predecessors and use the power in their hands to seek their own interests.

Everyone seems exhausted due to busy administrative tasks.

At least.

The officials in Yingtian City, the power center of the Ming Dynasty, are like this.

Wang Xinling, who held the position of governor at a young age, was secretly regarded by his colleagues in the yamen as the rising political star of the next era in the court.

Youth is not all about capital, what is more important is the existence behind Wang Xinling.

His predecessor, Bai Yuxiu, the former governor of the General Affairs Department, was once again promoted to the rank of fifth-grade doctor in the Department of Cleaning and Selected Officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs after being transferred to the position of head of the Department of Cleaning and Selected Officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Although his official promotion was not high, the power in Bai Yuxiu's hands could already cover the entire civil service system of the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone knows that as long as the next three-year Beijing inspection arrives, Bai Yuxiu will definitely continue to be promoted to become the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, continue to select and clean up the Ministry of Personnel, and on this basis, he will take charge of the first department of the Ministry of Personnel.

Perhaps in three to five years, the people who hold the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Ming Dynasty will change their surname to Bai.

In less than ten years, he was promoted to the second rank as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

With such a speed of promotion, it is difficult to count them on one hand among the nearly [-] officials in the entire empire.

So as Bai Yuxiu's successor, Wang Xinling's future is naturally certain.

Since the end of the Northern Expedition, there have been some rumors within the General Affairs Department that Wang Xinling may be transferred to the Ministry of Personnel, or he may be promoted in the Headquarters Department and become one of the Nine Ministers.

No matter which one it is, it has a bright future.

however.

Wang Xinling, however, only felt that he was now incapable of doing anything else.

In the heart of this young official, he wished that his one day could be used as two days, and one person could be divided into two people to work.

The country is getting stronger and stronger, but we are getting busier and busier.

When the rising sun had just crossed Zhongshan Mountain and poured into Yingtian City, Wang Xinling had already appeared in front of the general government envoy Si Yamen with a pile of documents he had brought home last night.

"Governor Wang, why is it earlier than yesterday?"

The officer guarding the yamen looked at Wang Xinling walking up the steps with a smile on his face. He stepped forward with great enthusiasm and took the stack of documents in the other man's arms.

Wang Xinling yawned and cupped his hands: "Thank you. It's not because I'm stupid and work slower than others, so I have to come to the Yamen earlier."

The officer smiled, naturally he couldn't believe this.

After Wang Xinling was sent to the governor's room, the servant said he would go out to bring tea and other things to the governor.

Wang Xinling thanked him as usual, then sat at the table and sorted out the documents he had brought.

When it was already bright outside and the officials from the headquarters department who could enter the court to participate in the court meeting came back, the general affairs envoy's Yamen began to really become lively.

At this time, it was also time for Wang Xinling to go out.

As the important state regulations were gathered in front of Wang Xinling, the classification work began simultaneously.

Those destined for local areas will be handed over to fast horses and set off immediately along the official road.

Those sent to various ministries and yamen in central Beijing must be handed over to messengers, clerks, officials, and even Wang Xinling himself according to the priority of the matter.

After distributing the piles of documents in front of him, he watched everyone leave the yamen.

Wang Xinling then held in his arms a few documents that he had picked out that needed to be delivered in person.

"Governor Wang, today the back kitchen of the Yamen is going to make stir-fried beef, braised chicken, salted duck, and some stir-fried wild vegetables. You have to finish your work and come back to eat."

The officer stood guard at the yamen gate and shouted at Wang Xinling's back.

Wang Xinling didn't look back, he just made a move, raised one hand and shook it.

Since the end of the Northern Expedition, Daqing City under Daqing Mountain has continued to grow taller, and the amount of beef and mutton in Yingtian City has increased.

The common people are not the main purchasing power now, so they take advantage of the officials of various ministries and yamen in central Beijing.

In this way, it can be regarded as another kind of preferential treatment given by the imperial court to officials.

Standing on Baihu Street in front of the Yamen, Wang Xinling glanced towards Chongli Street to the south.

I thought about what I had to do today.

Wang Xinling planned to go to the Sixth Department on Qinglong Street first, and then go to the Huitong Hall nearest to the General Affairs Office when he came back.

After deciding on the journey, Wang Xinling started walking with the documents in his arms.

In Yingtian City, after passing Tongjimen Street, heading east are the official offices of the imperial court, which were regarded as the administrative center of the Ming Dynasty.

On the road, few ordinary people would come over looking for trouble, and then be investigated by the officers and soldiers of the Military and Horse Division.

Along the way there were civil and military officials from various ministries and yamen, all of them looking like they were in a hurry.

At this time, the court meeting in the palace had just ended, which was the busiest time of the day.

They have to wait until after noon, after the officials from various ministries and yamen have had their meals, before they have a little time to have official interactions.

Wang Xinling arrived at Qinglong Street, walked all the way north, and soon arrived in front of the Ministry of Officials.

As soon as he walked to the official office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the officer guarding the office immediately recognized Wang Xinling, the governor of the General Affairs Department.

"Governor Wang is here."

Wang Xinling raised his head and blinked, and the other party immediately stepped forward to hold the documents in his arms for him.

The officer asked again: "Should Governor Wang go to the Secretary's Office first or look for Dr. Bai first?"

The Department of General Affairs is the agency responsible for daily operations in the civil service yamen, and there are six departments.

Wang Xinling shook his head: "I have nothing else to do when I come to the Ministry of Civil Affairs today. I just want to explain a few things to the Literary and Selection Department."

The officer nodded understandingly: "The little one is leading the governor over here. Bai Langzhong just came back from discussing things with Zhai Ge in the cabinet and is in the squad room."

The two of them walked in tandem, one walking and the other sideways, and in a short time they arrived outside the office of the Department of Civil Affairs, Selected Works of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Wang Xinling entered the class room, glanced around, and saw that most of the seats were empty, and only a few officials were immersed in reviewing various documents.

In the innermost compartment sat a young official wearing a green robe.

It is none other than Bai Yuxiu, a doctor in the Qing Dynasty's official anthology.

When he arrived at the door of the cubicle, the servant returned the documents to Wang Xinling. Before leaving, he whispered into the cubicle: "Mr. Wang, Governor Wang is here."

Bai Yuxiu, who was looking down at a document, raised his head and looked at the familiar figure at the door with a smile on his face.

Bai Yuxiu waved to Wang Xinling: "Come in quickly and remember to close the door. I just received a bag of tea from the cabinet. It is a tribute of black tea from Fujian. This is the right time."

Having said that, Bai Yuxiu had already started to unpack the tea and boil the water.

Wang Xinling was not polite and sat directly opposite Bai Yuxiu.

He picked a few books from the top of the papers he brought and handed them to Bai Yuxiu. He glanced at the teapot next to him that had begun to emit white smoke. "Senior Bai has been working in the cabinet all day long, and the cabinet elders haven't gotten angry?"

Bai Yuxiu raised her eyebrows: "The elders are busy with military, state and social affairs all day long, so they won't notice if I pass on some things. Besides, good things will break sooner or later wherever they are placed, so it's better for me to Help the elders digest it."

While talking, Bai Yuxiu had already poured tea for Wang Xinling and herself.

The deep red tea soup soaked in the white tea cup looks particularly beautiful.

The tea soup is rippling and the aroma of tea is overflowing.

Wang Xinling raised his eyebrows, this black tea will never go bad.

All I can say is that I, Senior Bai, is deeply loved by the elders.

"There is nothing major happening today, just a few cases of promotion and demotion that require the Department of Literature and Selection to review the signatures as soon as possible to stabilize the local situation as soon as possible."

After taking a sip of tea, Wang Xinling got down to business.

Bai Yuxiu casually opened a document and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"The prefects of Chengdu and Lintao are going to be replaced? Is the imperial court determined to use troops against the Western Regions and Plateau?"

Wang Xinling curled his lips: "The government wants to build the Western Railway, and the imperial court wants to recreate the Silk Road in the Western Regions, so it must use troops in the Western Regions and the Plateau, otherwise the trade routes cannot be guaranteed. Didn't you hear about this in the cabinet?"

Bai Yuxiu shook her shoulders: "In the past few days, the elders have been discussing things in the New World. I can even memorize Mr. Wen's record of experiences, and I haven't seen the elders change the topic. We don't have to wait to talk. Only by sending people to move the people there can we see the benefits? I don’t know what we are discussing."

"This is not something you and I can discuss now." Wang Xinling muttered silently, then picked up the teapot and poured himself tea.

Bai Yuxiu wrote a few names on the document to replace the prefects of Chengdu Prefecture and Lintao Prefecture, and said casually: "Since we are going to send troops to the northwest, we should send some officials who are diligent and knowledgeable in military affairs. At the same time, the officials of several surrounding prefectures and counties should also make adjustments. I will enter the palace later and explain to Zhai Ge."

Wang Xinling kept silent. This was Bai Yuxiu's job and had nothing to do with him.

As Bai Yuxiu spoke, she had already recorded a few lines of small words as supplementary explanations behind the names she had written.

Then he opened another document.

"There was a change in the Yongshun Military and Civilian Xuanwei Division? When did this happen? Are the chieftains over there starting to rebel again?"

Wang Xinling raised his head slightly and took a look, then moved his mouth and said: "Not only Yongshun, but also Sinan Road, Sizhou, Baojing Prefecture, Pingyue, Longli, Xintian, Bozhou, Yongning, Zuizhou and other Xuanwei Divisions There is a civil commotion. It is all clearly written down in this book. You should read it carefully and select the candidate officials cleanly. Once the court wants to send troops to quell the situation and select officials again, you can just hand in the list and go up. "

Bai Yuxiu hurriedly opened several documents below, and the expression on her face became more and more exciting.

"The entire western part of Huguang Road and the eastern part of Sichuan Road are in chaos? What does Guizhou Dusi do for food?"

Wang Xinling coughed lightly: "The people did not attack the government, let alone the guards. They all went to the local officials. It is difficult for the Guizhou capital to take care of this matter, so we can only report the truth to the court."

"Why is this again?"

Bai Yuxiu became increasingly puzzled.

According to past experience, when people in Xuanweisi and other areas in the southwest region rebelled, they were all directed at the imperial court.

Why did it become an internal fight this time?

Wang Xinling thought for a while and told what he knew: "From what I know, the people of Xuanwei Division felt that the local officials had deceived them and taken advantage of what was supposed to be theirs, so they started a riot.

The local officials felt that this was their own matter, so they all wanted to solve it themselves, so they did not report it to the court.

It's been going back and forth, and it's been more than half a year since the trouble started.

If the surrounding prefectures, counties and Guizhou governors were not worried that the long-term unrest would eventually lead to a major civil unrest and implicat them, we might not even know about it. "

Bai Yuxiu frowned: "There cannot be chaos in the southwest. It is very likely that the imperial court will decide to use troops on the plateau and the Western Regions. If there is chaos in the southwest at this time, the troops of Sichuan Road and Sichuan Xingdu Division will inevitably be restrained."

Wang Xinling stood up, drank a cup of tea, and patted his butt.

"This is a matter for the big guys."

"By the way, there are a few documents below regarding the selection of officials in Yingzhou's four provinces. Once the selected officials are selected, they can be sent directly to the cabinet for approval and then be issued."

"I'm going to another yamen, you're busy."

After saying that, Wang Xinling left quickly without caring about his senior's worries.

Looking at the empty seats in front of her, Bai Yuxiu gave a helpless smile.

When it was almost noon, Wang Xinling walked from Qinglong Street to Chongli Street.

Rush back to Baihu Street, continue walking north, pass the Jinyiwei Yamen and arrive at West Chang'an Street.

Going east is the right gate of Chang'an to enter the palace.

The Wang Xinling Mausoleum is heading west.

Before reaching Datong Street, there is a bridge over the moat on the right.

Opposite is the Huitong Pavilion.

Just as he could already see the Huitong Hall, Wang Xinling stopped and turned his head to look to the south in the direction of the Yamen of the Governor's Office, where the avant-garde of the original army was now.

After thinking about it, Wang Xinling turned around and walked towards the gate of the Governor's Mansion.

When they arrived in front of the Governor's Mansion, the officers and soldiers in front of the gate were naturally not like the servants in front of the yamen of various ministries. They just nodded towards Wang Xinling.

Wang Xinling, on the other hand, walked into the Governor's Mansion where groups of military generals were coming and going.

According to the regulations of the imperial court, different areas of power and responsibility were divided into different areas in the Governor's Mansion.

Soon Wang Xinling found a team responsible for the southwest areas such as Huguang Road, Sichuan Road, and Guangxi Road.

As soon as he walked in, he saw a group of generals pointing around an open map of Southwest Kan.

The voices of the generals were extremely loud, and Wang Xinling had already heard clearly what these people were discussing today.

At the top, the leader is Huixian Bo Sangjing.

None of the generals saw Wang Xinling's arrival, but Sang Jing saw Wang Xinling standing at the door at a glance.

"Hey, isn't this our Governor Wang? Why is he free to come to our place today?"

As he spoke, Sang Jing kicked the nearest general.

"Hurry and move a chair for Governor Wang."

The general who was kicked was not upset and went to move a chair for Wang Xinling with a smile.

Wang Xinling stepped forward and arrived in front of Sang Jing.

"I heard that there was some trouble happening in the southwest, and I thought it would be best if Uncle Hui knew about it. I didn't expect that Uncle Hui is already discussing this matter."

Sang Jing chuckled and waved to the generals in front of him: "When the imperial court finds out the cause, if we have to use troops, we will be able to completely put down the unrest in the southwest within half a year!"

Wang Xinling squinted his eyes and looked at Xinan Kanyu who was surrounded by everyone.

The court still doesn't know why the natives in the southwest are fighting among themselves.
