Chapter 432: The Elder and the Craftsman(1/2)
In Wenyuan Pavilion, a distribution of power happened quietly like early spring.
Ren Hengtai, Xie Jin and Gao Yangzhi, the subtext hidden under a few words, tacitly and peacefully divided the power in Wenyuan Pavilion.
As the first to receive the emperor's oral order, Ren Hengtai, who was in charge of the new policy, began his experience as the imperial cabinet master who was in charge of Wenyuan Pavilion and the court.
As the person who has always entered the Wenyuan Pavilion and served as the memorial of the court, Xie Jin also walked as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and was the second only to Ren Hengtai in the Wenyuan Pavilion.
As for Gao Yangji, the youngest rank official in the empire, because of his official qualifications, he could only sit on a round stool.
On the couch, in front of piles of memorials.
Xie Jin acted as the role of distributing state tasks, and the most important matters, such as the changes in the Yingtian City court today and the northern expeditions that had begun, were sent to Ren Hengtai first.
As for the fourteen yamen affairs of the Ming Dynasty, Xie Jin kept it at his hands, and the affairs of the prefectures and counties that were going down to the world would be sent to Gao Yangzhi's hands.
Gao Yangzhi was a little uncomfortable, and looked at the local prefectures and counties that were ten times more than Jiaozhi Road, and felt a little uneasy.
He entered Beijing yesterday and had not received the order yet, so he had already made a vote on the matters submitted by officials in Wenyuan Pavilion, which really made him feel a little nervous.
Even though the palace must have already explained it, it does not comply with the rules in the court.
"The county magistrate of Huan County, Qingyang Prefecture, requested the court to put out cotton, cloth and other items to prepare for the use of border residents and border guards in winter this year. I wonder what the court should respond to such requests?"
Gao Yangzhi picked up a memorial from the beginning, saw the end from the beginning, thought for a few moments, and finally chose to ask.
Xie Jin was now lowering his head and reviewing the memorial he was planning to annotate. Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile, then calmed down and looked up at Ren Hengtai opposite him.
Ren Hengtai was reviewing the plan to make up for the vacancies of the court sent by the Ministry of Personnel. When he heard the inquiry, he noticed the gaze and put down his pen and raised his head.
He frowned and said, "Where did the border residents from Qingyang Prefecture come from? The border troops are the base? The north is the Ningxia guard, Yulin guard guards the northern gate of Shaanxi Road, and the Anbian Office under the rule is also allocated food and supplies by the Shaanxi Xingdusi Yamen. Where did they get their faces!"
Ren Hengtai, who entered Wenyuan Pavilion on the first day, unknowingly, had already vaguely the majesty of the imperial civil servants.
Gao Yangzhi was still thinking about Ren Hengtai’s suggestions and teachings that could be regarded as officialdom.
Xie Jin looked at Bai Yuxiu with a smile on his face: "Take the recent memorial from Shaanxi Road to him."
Ren Hengtai continued to mention: "It is not easy in the court, and the local government never considers it. The court needs to worry about the fourteen prefectures in the world, but the local government only needs to take good care of the rule. If you can get one more point from the court, they can live a better life and achieve political achievements. At this time, the court must have a clear vision and know the same foundation in the local area. You cannot avoid them just by messing around with one memorial."
This is a talk of experience.
Gao Yangzhi bowed his hand and recorded it all.
At this time, Bai Yuxiu had already received various memorials from Shaanxi Road from the desk holder next to her and sent them to Gao Yangzhi.
He even carefully divided several memorials from Qingyang Prefecture and surrounding prefectures separately.
Gao Yangzhi took the memorial and read a few copies, his face became a little unpleasant.
"Is it the same thing as Qingyang Mansion? Is it the same thing? Is it going to be done on March? "
Xie Jin chuckled: "Nothing else can be complaining. No matter whether it is suffering or not, the court must always know that they are suffering."
Ren Hengtai frowned and shook his head and said, "I'll make annotation for the ticket. I mentioned it a few days ago that there will be about cold this winter. It will be 30% discount for requests in case of emergency. If nothing happens, you can send it to the border army on the spot. After Your Majesty allows you to report it to the Shaanxi Xingdusi Department."
After saying that, Ren Hengtai paused and thought for a moment, and looked at Xie Jin opposite him.
"Spring breeze, Renge's words are to support the country. You should learn more and listen more in the future." Xie Jin whispered lightly and taught earnestly.
Gao Yangzhi followed the good and took a pen to write Ren Hengtai's letter of opinion on the memorial for the request of Huan County, Qingyang Prefecture.
Afterwards, the three of them continued to vote for the memorial.
Many state affairs still require that the few officials left in the capital enter the palace, and votes are completed one by one and sent to the front of the Holy See.
Bai Yuxiu and Wang Xinling called the minor officials from Wenyuan Pavilion to come forward to serve, and they silently left the main hall.
"Senior, why did you say that the teacher gave the top spot in Wenyuan Pavilion? This Wenyuan Pavilion was clearly the first one that the teacher came in."
When he got outside, Wang Xinling looked at the crowd and frowned in the corner and stood up with Bai Yuxiu for his husband.
Bai Yuxiu had a smile on her face. He was very satisfied with this junior who took over the official position he had in the Tongzheng and envoys yamen.
Bai Yuxiu said softly: "Mr. has been in Wenyuan Pavilion for several years. This is an indisputable fact, but it is in the court? Ren Pavilion is a Grand Secretary and Minister of Rites. Your Majesty wants him to enter Wenyuan Pavilion. Is it because he wants him to fall behind Mr.? In this way, what are the national rules?"
Wang Xinling curled his lips: "That should be the one who entered the Xuwenyuan Pavilion, and the one who is the Ministry of Rites has come."
"Your Majesty... or......" Bai Yuxiu paused twice obviously, but did not say it, but said: "The generous speech of Master Ren in front of the Meridian Gate that day was probably the reason why he could enter Wenyuan Pavilion."
The young governor was still angry, probably because he thought his husband was the best in the world.
Bai Yuxiu pressed the words to his mouth before his junior, and said comfortingly: "If you want Mingxiao, the seats in the court may not be comparable. Then he said that in Wenyuan Pavilion, can you say that Ren Pavilion is the only one who is the only one in Wenyuan Pavilion, and everything is dominated by him? If this is the case, Gao Yangzhi would not be able to enter Wenyuan Pavilion in advance without any intention today."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Wang Xinling suddenly became quiet, and after a while, there was a light in front of his eyes.
When he raised his head, a smile appeared on his face: "The palace is to maintain balance in Wenyuan Pavilion! The old man in charge of Wenyuan Pavilion, but with Mr. Gao and Senior Gao, it is impossible to make Wenyuan Pavilion a one-man hall. And Mr. Gao and Senior Gao have the trust of His Highness, so you can rest assured about the affairs in the court."
Bai Yuxiu nodded, but shook her head again: "There is another thing that you probably forgot."
"There is another thing?"
The young governor showed a confused look on his face.
Bai Yuxiu explained: "The court is now going to implement the new policy. Where did the new policy start? It seems that Ren Ge is the chief Wen Yuan Ge, but under the new policy, how heavy will the responsibilities and burdens on his shoulders be? Have you ever thought about how many scolds will be heard in the world when the new policy is implemented.
Today, in Wenyuan Pavilion, the gentleman and senior treated Master Ren as politely as he was, so he also knew what happened here. It would be better to say that it was respect, but it was the gentleman and senior who thank Master Ren to Master Ren."
Wang Xinling opened his mouth and showed a sudden enlightenment on his face.
Bai Yuxiu reached out and pointed at Wang Xinling's forehead, chuckled and shook his head, "Are you, Senior Chunfeng, don't you know about Qingyang Mansion?
A few months ago, many memorials in the court were copied and sent to Chunfeng Xueshi's strengths. This is what His Royal Highness the Grand Prince. Earlier, the matter of Wenyuan Pavilion today was destined to be
You and I have a lot to learn in front of my husband and senior Chunfeng.”
Bai Yuxiu sighed last time.
It seems to be expressing his shallow experience in the officialdom, and it seems to be lamenting when he will step into Wenyuan Pavilion like a senior in the spring breeze.
Wang Xinling's eyes were completely confused.
All the hearing at this moment really made it difficult for him to digest for a while.
In the end, with a hint of pure longing, I turned my head and looked sideways at the hazy Wenyuan Pavilion main hall behind the window paper.
...
Dawn is rising.
A new day in Yingtian City is slowly coming.
Today, the few officials in Beijing who can walk into the Meridian Gate can be described as rare.
The officials of the six ministries, five temples and three courts were quite neat, but when they arrived at the ministers, Shaoqing and other officials below, they were already a handful of them.
After passing through Fengtian Gate, the officials headed to the Huagai Hall where the court meeting today.
At this time, there are scenes that make people laugh and laugh.
Shanglin Yuanjian, who was mentioned as the third-rank position, was only mentioned in the Shanglin Yuanjian of the year before. Today, the officials who entered the palace to participate in the court meeting seemed the most neat among the officials.
A large group of people, under the leadership of Yuan Sutai, the supervisor of Shanglinyuan, wearing the first-class crane, was like the first yamen in the Ming Dynasty, holding their heads upright, and seemed out of place with their colleagues in the court around them.
Minister of Rites Ren Hengtai was a servant in Wenyuan Pavilion, while Minister of Personnel Zhai Shan was still recuperating in the Imperial Hospital.
The only ones walking in front of the civil servants were Yu Xin, the Minister of Revenue and Wang Yen, the Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works. Later, they were the official of the Zhengyin Hall of the Censorate and the Tongzheng Envoy Department.
Yuan Sutai did not move forward or backward, so he just silently led the officials of Shanglin Yuanjian to follow the crowd, but his eyes looked around from time to time.
Afterwards, Yuan Sutai looked closely at another group of people in the middle of the crowd who were out of touch with the officials in the court.
This is the group of craftsmen led by Zhang Ergong, the great craftsman.
Zhang Ergong, who is a seventh-grade green robe, and a group of craftsmen with a nineth-grade green robe, can be recognized at a glance among the crowd.
Their undresses look like they are all undressed, and their official robes are still covered with indentations, indicating that they rarely wear official robes on weekdays.
His dark cheeks and palms covered with scars and calluses were clearly wearing official robes, but he did not look like imperial officials.
Yuan Sutai looked sideways at the Shanglin Yuan Supervisory Officer beside him.
For convenience, he immediately moved to Zhang Ergong and others.
After a while, Zhang Ergong seemed a little nervous and trepidated, leading his craftsmen and officials from Shanglin Yuanjian to integrate.
Zhang Ergong was very nervous at this moment. The big red robe of the crane on Yuan Sutai, the supervisor of Shanglinyuan, made him feel a little breathless just by looking at it.
But he felt a little curious about Yuan Sutai, who was obviously wearing a big red robe but never walked in front.
Yuan Sutai was more calm than Zhang Ergong and said softly: "I heard that the master craftsman has been frequently in the three places recently and has worked very hard. There are countless things in the country, so the master craftsman should take care of his health."
Such a contempt for himself made Zhang Ergong feel at a loss for a while.
Zhang Ergong bowed his hand busyly, lowered his head and whispered: "Mr. Xie Yuanjian was worried about it. But there are too many things. If you don't do it today, you will be even more tired if you do it tomorrow."
Yuan Sutai showed an accident on his face, and glanced at the Shanglin Yuan Supervisor officials who also looked at the same time, and couldn't help laughing: "In the court, if you can say so directly, you are the master craftsman, and only you are qualified to say this."
Zhang Ergong didn't know how to answer, so he could only nod his head constantly. He felt that this was not good, so he began to shake his head.
Yuan Sutai's eyes turned, and he led the topic: "I heard... the steam ship of the master craftsman is about to be ready? I wonder how powerful the new ship can be?"
When talking about professional matters, Zhang Ergong's eyes suddenly shone brightly.
His answer also increased faster: "Go back to the supervisor, the steam ship will be able to get into the water in two months. We are thinking about it, from the lower reaches of the Longjiang Shipyard Shunjiang to Songjiang Prefecture.
