high official

Chapter 383
Only two days later, the Ministry of War asked Wang Xian to report to the Yamen.Although Wang Xian didn't want to transfer to the military position, but with his unscrupulous personality, he quickly adjusted and went away.

When Wang Xian was in charge of the young army, he often ran to the Ministry of War for food and salaries. He saw the ugly face of the big yamen, which was in charge of the world's military guards, Wuxuan, Stables, and Jiazhan, and it was difficult to enter and handle things. Have full mental preparation.Every time I come, I have to prepare enough red envelopes, and I have to say all kinds of good things and smile all the time to get things done.

So this time, he still held the same mentality, without saying a word or smiling, he took out the door bag skillfully, stuffed it into the guard's hand and said, "Today is really lucky, and I met Brother Ji Liu again. Shunliu!"

Unexpectedly, the sun came out from the west today, and the hundred households guarding the gate also laughed together, stuffed the door bag back into his sleeve, and responded with a more cordial smile: "My lord, don't make fun of me, where are you going?" It will be soon, so small that I will let you know."

Wang Xian refused to accept the meeting with the other party a few times, and couldn't help being a little strange, why did the dog change to eat shit today?Come on, if you don't take it, don't take it. I didn't have too much money to burn, so I smiled and said: "Then invite Sixth Brother to drink some other day."

"No, no, it's too small to invite an adult to drink, please show me your face." Baihu smiled with him, invited him into the concierge, brought out the good tea he had treasured, ordered someone to serve Wang Xian well, and then flew to the door. It also seemed to go in and report.

Wang Xian smiled and asked the guard who poured tea for him: "What happened to your hundred households today?"

"It's nothing, it's quite normal." The guard just laughed along, not daring to talk nonsense.

Soon, Ji Baihu turned back and personally sent Wang Xian to the Wuxuan Cleaning Department, said a lot of good things along the way, and finalized a date with Wang Xian to invite him to dinner.Being flattered by others is better than flattering others, and Wang Xian didn't bother to think about the reason.

Ji Baihu sent him to the gate of the Wuxuan Division, his voice suddenly became much quieter, and he hummed to the chief on duty.There is no way, this is the place that controls the selection of military officers in the world!
Everyone is an official and has the same rank. Why is it that some people are so rich that they are dripping oil, while others are so poor that they boil vegetables with fresh water every day?In the final analysis, it is a matter of position. If you want to be assigned to a Qingshui Yamen, you will not get half of the benefits, and you will have no choice but to die poor.If you are an official in the real power yamen, you hold the lifelines of tens of millions of people in your hands, and if you are an honest official, you can also be rich as an official.Wang Xian knew this truth in Fuyang County.In the final analysis, being an official and being an official are actually the same in essence.

The Beijing yamen has always had the theory of four fat jobs, which are well-known and coveted by everyone. They refer to the Department of Literature Selection of the Ministry of Officials, the Department of Examination of Gong of the Ministry of Officials, the Department of Military Selection of the Ministry of War, and the Department of Arsenal of the Ministry of War.Among them, the Second Department of Wenxuan and Wuxuan, which is selected by the opposite civil and military officials, is the most prestigious. People say that if you have been an official in these two departments for a few years, even if you are the chief executive, you can earn a lot of money.The bigger advantage is that if you know how to be a human being, the connections you have built up over the past few years are enough to make you a successful official career, have a good career, and even benefit your descendants.

With such decency and wealth, one can imagine how arrogant the officials of these two yamen must be.Especially for the middle and low-level civil and military people who directly control their destiny, they don't take it seriously.

Du Baihu is a small hundred household, whose future and fate are in the hands of others, so naturally they don't dare to breathe aloud.Wang Xian, who is a five-rank thousand household, happens to be within the scope of his power. It is said that the king of hell is easy to see, and the little devil is hard to deal with. Touch it into the sleeve, there is a bigger red envelope there.

Unexpectedly, the chief who was stern to Ji Baihu actually smiled at him and said: "My lord, please come in, our Lord Quan Cao happens to be free." After saying that, he went in to report, and he didn't even have a chance to give him a red envelope.

The so-called Quan Cao is the military selection doctor, also known as the little Sima... As for the big Sima, he is the Minister of the Ministry of War.Before Wang Xianlin arrived, he inquired about it. The newly appointed young Sima, surnamed Chai, was from Qiantang, Zhejiang.

However, fellow countrymen plus seniors, and high-ranking officials who control their own career and destiny, Wang Xian sighed secretly, thinking that he must kneel...

When the principal let in, Wang Xian hurriedly handed over the red envelope, but was rejected with a smile. This made Wang Xian quite uncomfortable, and he didn't have time to talk nonsense, so he hurried into Wu Xuan Langzhong's signing room, saying, "The next official pays homage to your lord", Those who push the golden mountain and the jade pillar will bow down.

But he was supported by Quan Cao, and said with a loud smile: "Zhongde is so unreasonable. You are a fifth-rank, and this official is also a fifth-rank. How can you say that you are an official?" Wang Xian found that the other party's hands were as firm as a rock, It has been practiced before, and it is impossible to bow down.What's more, when I heard the other party address me, I felt very close, and I couldn't help being happy, but said more respectfully on the face: "Master Quan Cao was joking, there is a world of difference between the fifth rank of a villain and your fifth rank. other than that."

"You boy, you are not very old, you are old!" Chai Lang said with a smile, but he used Hangzhou dialect. "If you're so stupid, be careful of head and neck punches!" This means, you kid is pretending to be old, and you still don't understand what I mean, so be careful I will slap you!
The meaning of intimacy in the words could not be more clear, this is to talk about fellow countrymen with him, Wang Xian was a little flattered and said: "Xiao Yuer dare not."

"That's right, sit down quickly." Chai Langzhong smiled and pulled him to sit on a chair near the wall. Tea ceremony: "Zhongde, my official chaiche, who lives in Pingyao Town, Qiantang County, was elected ten years earlier than you. He is not only your fellow villager, but also your senior. You have not walked with me for two years since you came to the capital. Is there something unreasonable?"

"Before I really didn't dare to climb high," Wang Xian said with a wry smile, "If I knew that the adults are so approachable, the juniors would have come to make friends."

"Zhongde was joking. Although I am half the age of you, I have a mediocre official career. Compared with your glorious deeds, I really feel inferior." Chai Che said gratefully: "Ten years of Yongle, a big wave in Hangzhou, Qiantang County In the disaster, our Pingyao Town was flooded, and tens of thousands of villagers were displaced. Thanks to you, Fuyang, you took them in, and treated them equally, and provided relief with work, so that the villagers suffered from the disaster but did not suffer. It is really a great merit." After a pause. : "Later when Bachelor Wei came to Beijing, I made a special trip to pay my respects. He later told me that these were actually all your ideas."

Wang Xianxin said, Mr. Wei really has the style of an ancient gentleman, and he doesn't take all the credit for himself.He hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, you are absurd. I was also fooling around at the time. Fortunately, Wei Xueshi was willing to take responsibility. Otherwise, if any county magistrate was changed, my method would not work."

"Well, Wei Xueshi is a real gentleman." Chai Che nodded in agreement, and changed the subject: "Don't call me 'adult', it's just for nothing, I'm crazy about how old you are, you should call me brother."

Wang Xian didn't dare to say that, Chai Che pretended to be angry, so he reluctantly called out "brother", since the elder brother and younger brother are on the topic, what's the problem?The chaiche pulled him and talked for a while, and then asked him to sit at home another day, and then got up to find his military officer to post yellow.

The archives management of the Ming Dynasty was very powerful. From official to official, from civil to military, regardless of grade, from the day you officially ate the imperial food, there were complete archives in the imperial court. When it comes to matters such as , becoming an official, and graciousness, basically rely on file records to speak.

Among them, the archives of civil officials are called Civil Official Tieshuang, and the files of military officials are called Military Tieshuang, on which are detailed records of information such as their name, old name, year, address, etc. , Performance appraisal... The military attache's post yellow records the military attache's history of joining the army, the places he conquered, the number of times he was killed, the title of the reward, the promotion and service, the transfer of the guard post, and the granting of edicts, etc.These two kinds of yellow stickers represent the ruling foundation of the Ming Dynasty, so the officials hid them deep in the inner palace, and the name of yellow stickers came from this.

Wang Xian is not a hereditary military officer, and there was no military officer’s yellow card before, so the Ministry of War has to make a new book for him. In fact, the book has been filled in by Chai Che himself with a copy of the civil officer’s yellow card transferred from the Ministry of Officials... Wang Xian belongs to his subordinates The transfer of civil servants to military officials was rather cumbersome in terms of procedures. This was a special case and it took more than ten days.

"Look at the situation above, is it right?" Chai Che handed Wang Xian's yellow sticker to him.

"Yes." Wang Xian took a closer look. In addition to his basic information, it also recorded his status as a young army strategist and his conquest of Mobei. All items are empty.

"Although I am in charge of households below one thousand, you are a thousand households of the Jinyiwei, and you are one level higher as usual, so some places have to be filled in by the Lord of the Ministry." Chai Che explained.

Wang Xian nodded, handed the book back to the chaiche, and said with a sigh: "I have changed from a bird to a beast."

"Bears are always better than quail." Chai Che comforted him softly: "Besides, you still have a yellow sticker in the Ministry of Rites. It is not impossible to change from a beast to a bird in the future." The yellow stickers of the Rites are actually Academic records, no matter whether he becomes a civil servant or a military officer, the origin of the candidate will never change.

"Thank you brother for your comfort," Wang Xian said with a smile, "When the wind and rain are turbulent, let's take a step at a time."

"Well, well said." Chai Che nodded with a smile and said, "Let's go to Lord Butang, he also wants to see you." After speaking, he personally took him to the signing room of the new minister of the Ministry of War.

.

After Jin Zhong fell ill, the emperor sent the imperial physician to see him, saying that he was no longer able to die, so Zhu Di had no choice but to approve his memorial to beg for bones, and transferred Fang Bin, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, to return to Beijing to take over... The place has a very special feeling, since ascending to the pole, it began to improve its status step by step. In the first year, Beiping was changed to Beijing by imperial edict, and then Shuntianfu was established, and an administrative department was established in Beijing.In the seventh year, he even lived in Beijing under the name of the Northern Tour, and set up six departments in Beijing, with officials such as ministers and ministers, and the level of regulation and production was the same as that of the six departments in Beijing.So the Ming Dynasty actually had two sets of teams, one south and one north...
