143 chapter

Shangluo's words also made everyone agree. The key now is that everyone, whether they are military generals or civil servants, have all been arrested by the Jin Yiwei.

"This matter needs to be renegotiated. If so, how can we rectify the army? We just rely on Yu Qian to investigate. Whoever is found will be arrested. But these arrested people are not implicated. On the other hand, our civil servants , there are many involved, we are extremely passive in this matter!" Gao Gu looked at Chen Xun and asked.

"What should we do? If we ask the Ministry of Justice to arrest those generals, the generals will definitely not agree!" Chen Xun looked at Gao Gu and asked.

"Then let the Ministry of Punishment arrest us civil servants, and don't let the Jin Yiwei examine our civil servants. They are suspected of subduing us. Moreover, His Majesty has just ascended the throne. It is not okay to change local officials on such a large scale. It may scare all the officials. ! It will delay political affairs!" Shang Ren looked at Chen Xun and suggested.

"It makes sense. I will go to see His Majesty tomorrow. In addition, you need to write a memorial tonight. In this matter, we cannot let the Jin Yiwei arrest our civil servants. Otherwise, it will cause a big chaos!" Chen Xun nodded and faced them. He ordered.

"Okay!" They all nodded. Some of them were arrested, so they share the same hatred in this matter.

"In addition, on Yu Qian's side, I will write a letter tonight to check some thousands of households and suppress the envoys. It's nothing, and there is no way to scare Xiaoxiao. It's time to check higher up!" Chen Xun said to them, they Also nodded.

The next day, Zhu Qiyu saw those memorials, all of which recommended that the Ministry of Punishment arrest civil servants. The Jinyiwei was suspected of being beaten into submission, and there was also a tendency to expand the arrests. This might cause panic in the local area and would not be conducive to the government's governance of the local area. !
"Hmph!" Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly when he saw those memorials. Is it possible that he didn't know the purpose behind those civil servants?
However, Zhu Qiyu did not intend to agree so quickly. He would first let them argue with the generals, and then discuss the matter when the generals could no longer bear it. What was agreed at the beginning was that the Ministry of Punishment would arrest the civil servants, and later he would ask the Jin Yiwei to arrest them. , those civil servants were not vigilant. Now that they are vigilant, they can just delay it.

In addition, if those civil servants were arrested by the Ministry of Justice, they would not be lucky. After all, there are Jin Yiwei who will review the arrested generals. Those military generals will definitely bite. Keep an eye on those civil servants and bite them. After the generals get the evidence, they will go there. The Metropolitan Procuratorate forced civil servants to deal with it.

"Your Majesty, how should we approve these memorials?" Wang Cheng, the eunuch in charge of the ceremonial department, looked at Zhu Qiyu and asked.

"Leave it to the cabinet and let the cabinet discuss it with the Chinese Military Governor's Office!" Zhu Qiyu threw the memorial aside and said calmly.

"Yes!" Wang Cheng picked up the memorial and exited.

At this moment, for some civil servants and civil servants who have not been employed for a long time, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With so many county magistrates and prefects freed up, they have seen the opportunity. Those who are from the seventh rank, to the seventh rank, Officials from the fifth grade to the fourth grade and from the fourth grade saw an opportunity.

As an official in the capital, although you are close to the emperor and can make connections, you can't be like a local official without money. Local officials in the local area are the local emperors. Not to mention the free money, they also have great power.

Therefore, now they are also moving around, hoping that someone can help them and send them to local officials to serve as officials.

For example, Lin Yunqi and Lin Zhenshan are also currently active. They have been in the capital for five years and have not been able to be transferred. If they cannot be transferred this time, they will have little chance.

The two of them first went to Wang Zhi's house, hoping to see Wang Zhi and ask Wang Zhi to help them for the sake of them being fellow villagers. But how could Wang Zhi help so many people? Officials in Ji'an Mansion and Jiangxi Province originally Most of them came to visit as fellow villagers, so Wang Zhi didn't have to do anything for the whole day.

The two of them failed to pay homage to Wang Zhi, so they went to look for the Minister of Civil Affairs and other officials of the Civil Affairs Bureau, but they were nowhere to be found. '

This is not surprising. Who doesn’t want to be active at this time? Those officials didn't dare to make decisions without authorization, let alone meet too many officials. If they agreed but couldn't do it, they would be in trouble.

On this day, Lin Yunqi and Lin Zhenshan met. They both smiled bitterly and shook their heads, unable to find anyone willing to help.

"How about we go to Cunde Mansion. Anyway, Cunde knows Wang Ying. Wang Ying can go to see His Majesty. Moreover, Your Majesty has spent a day in Cunde Mansion. If Cunde can help, there may be some hope for this matter. We have been in the capital for five years and have not been transferred for a long time. If there is no chance this time, there will be no possibility of promotion!" Lin Zhenshan said to Lin Yunqi.

"I also have this idea, but I feel it is unlikely. Cunde may not help with this. After all, I am asking Wang Ying. If Cunde and Wang Ying's second daughter get married, Cunde will be able to talk, but they haven't gotten married yet. Let Cunde De goes to ask Wang Ying. If it causes Wang Ying's displeasure, it will be troublesome!
If it doesn't work this time, let's wait a few years. When Cunde and Wang Ying's second daughter get married, maybe there will be a solution by then! Now, eh! Lin Yunqi said with a sigh.

"Didn't you say last time that Zhu Ji and Cunde are very familiar with each other? Zhu Ji is Yu Qian's son-in-law. If he can take this route, it's okay, but Yu Qian has always been selfless and will not help easily!" Lin Zhenshan He sighed again and said that after coming to the capital for so many years, they knew many people, but they had not met a superior who appreciated them, and they did not know the nobles. It was very difficult for them to get promoted.

"Forget it, let's go and ask Cunde. We won't force it. I haven't seen Cunde for a while. Go and sit down!" Lin Yunqi said with a bitter smile. There was really nothing else to do. Even if Lin Cunde couldn't help, go It's okay to talk, say a few words of complaint, and vent your dissatisfaction.

Soon, they arrived at Lin Cunde's house. The concierge remembered them. When he saw the two of them coming, he invited them in. At the same time, the concierge quickly went to inform Lin Cunde.

When Lin Cunde learned that the two clan uncles were coming, he went from the study to the door of the living room and saw them walking towards the verandah. "My nephew is paying tribute to my two uncles, but they haven't been here for a while!" Lin Cunde hurriedly greeted him with his hands in hand and said with a smile.

"I'm busy, eh, I'm also feeling depressed today. I come here to sit down, chat, and vent my depression!" Lin Yunqi said to Lin Cunde with a wry smile.

When Lin Cunde heard this, he felt depressed? What's the matter? However, he still smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Well, my nephew, you are welcome to come over at any time. Please come inside!"

Then he led the two of them to the study. At this moment, the heater had been removed from the study and replaced with a small stove, specially used to boil water and make tea.

"Are you studying?" Lin Yunqi sat down and asked Lin Cunde.

"Read every day!" Lin Cunde said with a smile while cleaning the tea set.

"Well, Cunde, what are you doing outside?" Lin Zhenshan couldn't help but ask first.

Lin Cunde raised his head and glanced at Lin Zhenshan, shook his head and said, "I don't know much about it. My second brother came back and told me after he went out!"

Lin Zhenshan glanced at Lin Yunqi. In terms of closeness, Lin Yunqi was closer than Lin Zhenshan. Lin Yunqi was four generations away, and he was five generations away.

"That's right. Isn't the Ministry of War reorganizing the army this time? A large number of local officials are involved, and many officials are freed up. Cunde, you also know that prime ministers must start from prefectures and counties, although the two of us do not have the talents of prime ministers. , but, if you want to continue to be promoted, it is not enough if you have not served as a chief official in the local area. I am a sixth-grade official, and your uncle Zhenshan is a seventh-grade official. If you have the opportunity to go to the local area, be promoted to one and a half levels, and then work for a few years. Only when you reach the fifth rank and return to the capital can you have the opportunity to continue promotion, right?" Lin Yunqi sighed to Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde nodded after hearing this. The two of them had no chance to join the cabinet. To join the cabinet, they had to come from the Imperial Academy. Since the two of them did not enter the Imperial Academy, they naturally did not need to consider this.

"We have looked for and visited many people during this period, but to no avail. Now these locations are all being watched and everyone is active!" Lin Zhenshan looked at Lin Cunde and added.

"The officials just don't care? Why don't the Procuratorate care about such blatant activities?" Lin Cunde frowned and asked after hearing this.

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and said: "How can the Metropolitan Procuratorate have time to care about these things now? They are all staring at the officials below. The Metropolitan Procuratorate is impeaching officials almost every day. Now everyone has seen that the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are Scared!"

"Oh, that's right!" Lin Cunde finally understood what was going on.

Lin Zhenshan continued: "It's better for you. Now you are also a seventh-grade official. You don't have to worry about promotion in the future. If you can get Jinshi, your promotion path will be faster in the future. Unlike us, it is difficult!"

Lin Cunde nodded again. It stands to reason that they have been in their original positions for several years and have stayed at their current level for five years, so they should be promoted. However, there is probably something wrong with the personnel department at the moment.

In fact, many people have to be promoted this time. If one carrot is caught, one chief envoy is arrested, then several people will be promoted, and a series of people will be promoted.

In addition, there are so many prefects, co-prefects, and county magistrates. These can affect the promotion of hundreds of people.

Of course, some are promoted directly from the local area, some are promoted from the capital, and some are selected from those who are new scholars. These are all things that the officials need to consider, but there is also a lot of room for maneuver here. of.

"Cunde, is there any way?" Lin Zhenshan couldn't help but asked Lin Cunde.

"Well, do you have to go somewhere? I guess there will be a lot of vacant positions here in the capital? Of course, if you want to go somewhere and get more money, just pretend I didn't tell you! If you want to be promoted, then the capital is here There is still some chance, everyone is staring at the local officials, but here in the capital, not so many people are watching!" Lin Cunde looked at the two of them and asked.

"Of course it would be better if I could be promoted, but is there a chance?" Lin Yunqi asked happily when he heard what Lin Cunde said and knew there was a chance.
