Chapter 1238 The Ministry of Rites
"it is good!"

Zhai Dongrang nodded and said: "We don't want to assassinate Luo Xin anymore, even if we kill him, it won't solve the fundamental problem."

"What is the fundamental problem?"

"King Yu."

"Kill King Yu?" A thoughtful expression appeared in King Jing's eyes.

Di Dongrang's eyes were stern and he said: "Killing King Yu is only the first step, if you still can't achieve His Highness's goal, then His Majesty..."

King Jing's expression froze, and he suddenly looked up at Zhai Dongrang who was opposite him.

Zhai Dongrang didn't avoid his eyes, but looked directly at King Jing, and continued, "We want to win over some people in the capital, especially the Fifth Military Camp, Jinyiwei and Dongchang."

King Jing's eyes gradually became deep and he said: "Don't worry about Dongchang, Huang Jin will not be wooed by Gu. But Lu Bing is dead, Jin Yiwei can try it, and the Fifth Army Battalion can also try it."

"We win Dongchang, but not necessarily Huang Jin. These three parties can go to the capital to try."

"Good!" King Jing nodded.

"In the fief, His Highness wants to secretly recruit some strange people and things."

"Well! This solitary is good at walking, and there are some rogue bandits around here. The solitary can subdue them, and then equip them to become the private lord of the solitary."

"The next time I go to the capital, I will also lobby some officials. When we need it, they can speak for us and let His Highness return to the capital."

"Will you be in the capital?"

"Yes, we can't rebel. We can only do a coup in the palace, just like Li Shimin's Xuanwumen mutiny back then, forcing His Majesty to abdicate. Therefore, His Highness must return to the capital."

"This...isn't easy!"

"There is nothing difficult. For example, His Highness is ill and wants to return to Beijing for treatment. Even if these things are not possible, His Majesty can return to Beijing every year during the Chinese New Year."

"That's right!" King Jing's eyes lit up: "When will you leave, sir?"

"Tomorrow, His Highness has a lot of things to do here. From now on, this wine..."

"Stop drinking!" King Jing was in high spirits.Then he looked at Zhai Dong and said: "You went to the capital, and inquired about Mr. He by the way."

"Yes!"

The first snow in winter is flying in the capital. This year's winter is earlier than in previous years, and the weather is much colder than in previous years.Luo Xin went to the Ministry of Rites in a sedan chair, sitting in the sedan chair, holding a thermos pot in his hand, still feeling the slightest bit of cold on his body.He is going to the Ministry of Rites. Since he became the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Luo Xin's leisurely life has disappeared.Gone are the days when you order a dick every day at Zhanshi Mansion and Hanlin Academy and then go home.

However, Luo Xin lived comfortably in the Ministry of Rites, and got along very well with his superiors and colleagues.

Yan Na, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Chunfang, Minister of the Left, are both Gao Gong's people. Now the relationship between Luo Xin and Gao Gong is very clear to everyone, so both of them are very polite to Luo Xin, and the Ministry of Rites is more bookish. Li Chunfang and Yan Na still admire Luo Xin, a great Confucian who wrote books and biographies, and this made the relationship between the three of them very harmonious.

In addition, the Ministry of Rites is different from the other five departments. Its responsibilities are roughly divided into three parts. One is responsible for the five rituals of Kaoji, Jia, Jun, Bin, and Ji.The second is academic matters, responsible for the imperial examination.This is the largest part of the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, and it is also the most honorable duty.As the saying goes, peaches and plums are all over the world, which is the Ministry of Rites.The third is the communication with foreign countries.

These jobs are all precious things, no matter how busy they are, they are much easier than the other five.For example, the Ministry of Accounts, which is in charge of money, and the various departments that ask for money all day long make them feel impatient. The Criminal Department, facing criminals, has an old face all day long.In the Ministry of Officials, officials are promoted and dismissed, can they not make a lot of noise?On the other hand, there has been no recent war in the Ministry of War, and it has been much calmer.There is also the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which specializes in complaints, so can you have a good attitude?

Therefore, Luo Xin is quite satisfied with being in the Ministry of Rites. The most important thing is that the Ministry of Rites is a direct channel to the cabinet.

As the Minister of Rites, Yan Na naturally has an overview of the overall situation. In addition, he is in charge of etiquette, since etiquette is the foundation of a country. Naturally, this area must be managed by the boss of a department.

However, this area is really very leisurely, there is almost nothing to do at ordinary times, just like old age, every day Yan Na is smiling and leisurely.

The second leisure job in the Ministry of Rites is to be in charge of dealing with foreign countries, and now this job has been handed over to Luo Xin.The reason is that Luo Xin has experience in dealing with foreigners.Thinking about it, Luo Xin founded the Shibo Department and Mutual Market, which are all qualifications for dealing with foreigners.

The remaining third piece of work is in the Ministry of Rites, which is relatively the busiest, such as managing national school institutions including Guozijian, Shuchangguan, prefectural and county schools at all levels, and imperial examinations at all levels.But these tasks are also the most basic tasks of the Ministry of Rites, and the tasks that have the greatest impact on the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

This job is to manage all the scholars, which means that officials in the future officialdom will have relationships with these officials in advance. Such an important job, even if Luo Xin and Gao Gong belong to the alliance now, Gao Gong will not Give this kind of work to Luo Xin, and let Luo Xin cultivate his strength.

Naturally, Luo Xin could see Gao Gong's thoughts, now that Xu Jie hadn't been overwhelmed by the two of them, Gao Gong had other thoughts.Luo Xin can be sure that once Xu Jie is squeezed out, the alliance between the two of them will be broken immediately, and this officialdom will immediately become a battlefield for the two of them to fight.

How can you allow others to sleep soundly beside the crouching tiger?

Although Luo Xin's wings are gradually plump, and he has gradually revealed the majesty of a giant, but compared with the other two giants Gao Gong and Xu Jie, he is still relatively weak.

remember!

Just relatively weak, not weak.If Gao Gong and Xu Jie were left aside, Luo Xin could be considered a colossus in the officialdom.

"Alas... it seems that it is still not strong enough!"

Luo Xinxin began to look forward to the cooperation with Xinxue. He knew that Xu Jie could not be completely defeated now. Once Xu Jie completely collapsed, only him and Gao Gong would be left on the stage. With Luo Xin's current situation Strength, it will be very difficult to deal with.Only when the Three Kingdoms stand together can Luo Xin have time to grow up.

All in all, Luo Xin is still too young and grows up too fast!

Luo Xin opened the sedan chair curtain and walked out, the cold wind swept by with snowflakes, Luo Xin couldn't help shivering.

"The signs of the Little Ice Age have already appeared!" Luo Xin's face showed a trace of solemnity: "This year's cold winter is earlier than usual, and many places in the world have been hit by disasters. It's really raining overnight. !"

With a slight sigh, Luo Xin walked into the ritual department.
