But this cannot be the reason for the officials to target the Prince Consort.
"Why is this happening? Don't all the officials know that the princes and princes are from different families?" Han Du was confused.
Han De chuckled and said: "It is precisely because they are the descendants of important ministers who are deeply trusted by the emperor that they are targeted by hundreds of officials."
Seeing that Han Du didn't understand, Han De sneered and explained: "Everything in the world is for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. But as an official, who doesn't want to rule the world and be courteous to all officials? Of course, now the emperor has abolished the
After the establishment of the Zhongshu Province, the prime minister was abolished. But you don’t think that without the prime minister, officials will not think about climbing up, right? The prince-in-law’s fathers are already important ministers of the court. If these princes-in-law are allowed to grow up again, with their and their
Due to the relationship between the royal family, do you think it is very likely that he will take over the powerful position again?"
Needless to say?
With Lao Zhu's emphasis on his relatives, although the consort is only a son-in-law, he is still a relative. If the consort is really allowed to succeed, the possibility of becoming Lao Zhu's confidant again is really not small.
Seeing Han Du's sudden realization, Han De sneered and said, "Now do you know why?"
Of course Han Du knew it. To put it bluntly, the conditions for the prince-in-law were too favorable. As long as he had a little bit of ability, he would almost 100% stand in front of the officials.
How can officials who have been immersed in poverty for decades be willing to accept this? How can they watch helplessly as a situation arises where a good test result is not as good as a good marriage? Since the prince-in-law blocks their way to the peak of power, how can they be targeted?
Naturally it is not surprising.
Han Du sneered, shook his head and said: "It's cold at high places. The higher you are, the more painful it will be if you fall. If it were me, I wouldn't want to be an official. What's good about being an official? I get up earlier than a chicken.
I sleep later than a dog and work hard every day. I prefer sleeping until I wake up naturally and counting money until my hands cramp."
Seeing that his son didn't look like he was telling lies, Han De couldn't help but sigh in his heart. There are so many people in the world who want to be an official, but they have no official position. His son obviously doesn't want to be an official, but this official
But it is getting bigger and bigger. Even Han De has to admit that when he was Han Du's age, he was not as senior as his son.
Han De glanced at his son speechlessly and couldn't help but said: "Not everyone can find a coal mine with just one finger like you. In this world, how difficult it is to make money is beyond your imagination.
.”
It is difficult to make money, so becoming an official has naturally become the best way out for people in the world.
To put it bluntly, it is not caused by the fact that the world's future is too single. Everyone regards an official career as the goal of their life. As a result, the competition is naturally very fierce, and many times even use unscrupulous means.
"And the emperor's move in conferring a title on you is very clever." Han De smiled and looked at Han Du, "The Prince Consort is an official, a military attache. If he is a civilian official, he will definitely be opposed by all the officials. But if it is changed to
If it’s Jing Haibo, that’s different.”
Han Du suddenly realized that what his father said was reasonable, and it was indeed different.
When Liu Bowen was still alive, didn't he take charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate? Although he was originally a civil servant, he was also sincere.
The monk can touch it, why can't the poor Taoist touch it?
Liu Bowen used to be a civil servant, but he has always been a civil servant. If he is Bo Chengyi and can be in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, then he, Bo Jing Hai, can naturally be an official. Even if the officials want to stop him, they can't stop him.
Lao Zhu is indeed very powerful. His hand looks like an antelope's horns, but he didn't expect it to have such an effect.
However, after being lectured by his father, he understood Lao Zhu's purpose, but Han Du still didn't understand how he, a sixth-grade officer, could take charge of the Ordnance Bureau.
The next day, Han Du was woken up early in the morning by a girl knocking on the door.
In the past, girls would go directly to Han Du's door and help Han Du wash and dress. But I don't know when Han Jingyun started knocking on the door when he came to Han Du's door.
Han Du woke up, got dressed, and opened the door.
"Girl, are you bothering you again?"
"Brother, hurry up and wash up. People from the staff are already waiting for you in the lobby."
People from the official department?
Han Du couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He quickly finished washing up and hurried to the lobby.
"Your Majesty, Chen Qing, pays homage to Jing Haibo." When the officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs saw Han Du coming in, they took the first step to salute with clasped fists.
"Please get up quickly."
In terms of official position, Han Du was only of the sixth rank, which was equivalent to the official in front of him. But at the same time, Han Du was Jinghai Bo, with a superior title, so it was appropriate for officials to salute Han Du.
After helping the official up, Han Du couldn't help asking: "I wonder why Mr. Chen is here?"
"This is the document from the Ministry of Personnel appointing you as the head of the Arms Bureau." Chen Qing handed the document with the seal of the Ministry of Personnel to Han Du. At the same time, he turned around and pointed at the clerk who came with him, and said: "This is Jing.
Hai Bo’s fifth-rank official uniform. Of course, if I don’t wear an official uniform, I can wear an earl’s uniform. Congratulations to your uncle for becoming the youngest fifth-rank official in the Ming Dynasty.”
Are the five rank officials big?
If you say it is big, it is big. If you say it is not big, it is not big.
Above the imperial court, fifth-rank officials barely reach the threshold of middle-level officials. For real second- and third-rank officials in the court, fifth-rank officials are still far behind. Many people become fifth-rank officials at a young age, but
You will never become a second-grade person or even a third-grade person in your lifetime.
But the fifth-rank official said that big is also big, and the ordinary first-grade prefect is the fifth-rank. In other words, the current Han Du is equivalent to a fifth-rank prefect.
Moreover, Handu is still a Beijing official. If he is promoted to a foreign official now, he will be promoted to a higher level. If he becomes an official in the fourteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely be more than fifth rank.
When Lao Zhu asked him to take charge of the Ordnance Bureau, Han Du somewhat understood what Lao Zhu wanted to do. Lao Zhu didn't want to give money, but he also wanted goods.
Therefore, Han Du behaved very normally, even a little indifferently, towards his official position as head of the Arms Bureau.
"Lord Chen, please don't praise me. The Ming Dynasty is full of talented people. To say that I am the youngest fifth-rank official in the Ming Dynasty is too much, isn't it?" Han Du didn't believe that there was no fifth-rank official younger than himself in the Ming Dynasty.
When Chen Qing heard this, he burst into laughter and explained to Han Du: "Unknown to Uncle Jinghai, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will register the origins and ages of officials above the seventh rank. The lower officials are in charge of these lists, so Uncle
I am the youngest fifth-rank official in the Ming Dynasty, there is no doubt about it."
Unexpectedly, Han Du had no choice but to clasp his fists and reply: "Master Chen is interested."
The two of them drank tea and chatted for a while. Chen Qing took the initiative to say that the official department had other important matters, so he said goodbye and left.
Han Du was thinking about the affairs of the Arms Bureau and was going to check out the situation.
