To be honest, Shen Yi is not very familiar with the Ministry of War Yamen. Although he is now the chief officer of one of the four departments of the Ministry of War, he has not been to the Ministry of War a few times from beginning to end.
Not only has he never met the Minister of the Ministry of War, he has never even met the Minister of the Ministry of War, Shen Yi, who is in charge of him.
Mr. Shen is the doctor of the Arsenal Department. If calculated, the doctor in charge of him should be the right minister of the Ministry of War, which is also the third-in-command of the Ministry of War.
After Shen Yi led two people into the Ministry of War, he first pulled over an official from the Ministry of War and asked where the Martial Arts Department was, and then led the two people towards the Martial Arts Department.
The three of them had just walked away a few steps when they heard a few laughs coming from behind.
Xue Wei looked back and saw that the official who was joking with his colleagues immediately fell silent and did not dare to laugh again.
Xue Wei frowned, looked back at Shen Yi, and whispered: "Sir, what are they laughing at?"
"What else is there to laugh about?"
Mr. Shen rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "Of course you are laughing at me, a doctor from the Ministry of War. I can't even find the official office of the Ministry of War yamen. Don't pay attention to them. Let's go and handle our affairs."
Someone pointed out the way, and the three people quickly found the Wu Xuan Department. Under the leadership of a junior official, they successfully met the chief officer of the Wu Xuan Department.
Wei Kang, Doctor Wei of the Martial Arts Department.
This Dr. Wei is just in his early forties this year. Among officials at this level, he can even be said to be a young and strong official.
After Shen Yi saw Mr. Wei, he politely stepped forward and saluted, with a formulaic smile on his face: "I have met Dr. Wei."
Compared with Shen Yi, the doctor of the Ministry of War, although Doctor Wei is also a doctor of the Ministry of War, his "gold content" is much higher than that of Shen Yi.
First of all, Shen Yi is a temporary doctor. He only occupies the same rank and does not actually perform his duties. Secondly, the Arsenal Department where Shen Yi works temporarily is only one word different from the Martial Arts Department, but the powers can be said to be worlds apart.
The Arsenal Department mainly manages weapons, while the Military Selection Department manages the personnel of generals.
Let’s put it this way, the Military Selection Department is also called the Military Department.
It is the proper first division of the Ministry of War.
In other words, in a certain sense, the ordinary-looking military commander in front of him can be said to be the fourth in command of the Ministry of War.
Dr. Wei was also very polite. He returned Shen Yi's salute with a smile and called "Mr. Shen."
After the two briefly exchanged greetings, Langzhong Wei ordered his subordinates to lead Ling Su and Xue Wei to go through the formalities, while he himself took Shen Yi to sit down and drink tea. After the two chatted for a few words, Wei Langzhong The doctor then said with some emotion: "Dr. Shen is only twenty years old this year?"
"yes."
Shen Yi smiled and said: "I have just turned twenty. I am still young and I don't understand many things in the court. I still need the guidance of a senior like you."
"Guide?"
Dr. Wei shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile: "When I was Mr. Shen's age, I was just a junior high school student. Now, I am only on the same level as Dr. Shen. I have wasted more than twenty years. How can I be qualified to give advice? Two words?"
As he said that, he looked up at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "On the contrary, Mr. Shen, you have moved around in two years. Maybe you can give some advice to Wei, and maybe Wei's future career will be much smoother."
"Don't dare to take it seriously..."
Shen Yi shook his head and sighed: "To be honest, I don't know how I got here in the past two years. I was just pushed along by current events. I have no control over it."
Shen Yi knew it very well.
These civil servants are more or less jealous of themselves.
Because he, Shen Yi, was promoted too quickly.
Those civil servants like him who have been promoted to law and are still struggling to get their qualifications will naturally feel uncomfortable.
In fact, not to mention these civil servants, even some officials from Ganquan Academy may feel a little uncomfortable. When Shen Yi had dinner with Zhang Jian, he learned from Zhang Jian that some officials from Ganquan School were talking behind his back. When I heard it, there was a strange sound.
Therefore, at this time, Shen Yi would not make friends with any civil servants. The most they could do was go about their business. Mr. Shen politely declined the vague invitation to "make friends" from Dr. Wei.
Dr. Wei looked at Shen Yi thoughtfully. He smiled and wanted to speak. Suddenly there was a knock on the door: "Mr. Wei, Jiang Shangshu heard that Mr. Shen was here and asked Mr. Shen to come over. One trip.”
In the Ministry of War, anyone who can address Wei Kang with an official title means that he is not a staff member of the Ministry of War, but an official of the Ministry of War, and his rank will not be very low, either as a chief or as a foreign minister.
Dr. Wei first responded, then stood up from his chair, smiled at Shen Yi and said: "Dr. Shen is really popular. It is difficult for Mr. Wei to say more words to you. Since Mr. Shangshu has invited me, I will wait for you." It is not easy for subordinates to disobey, so I will lead Doctor Shen there myself."
Shen Yi also stood up silently and smiled at the doctor of the Ministry of War: "We both serve in the Ministry of War, so we will have plenty of time to talk in the future. When I return to the Ministry of War as an errand next time, there are many things that I need to ask Doctor Wei for advice."
Wei Kang laughed loudly: "After you finish your business in the southeast, it will take next year at least. By then, you may have been promoted to minister. How can you ask me, a subordinate official, for advice?"
He squinted his eyes and looked at Shen Yi, and then led Shen Yi out of the guest room: "Okay, I can't keep Lord Shangshu waiting for a long time. I will lead Mr. Shen over."
Shen Yi responded and followed the doctor of the Ministry of War. It didn't take long before he walked to the independent public house of the Minister of the Ministry of War. Mr. Wei stepped forward, knocked on the door, and then bent down slightly. Although the door had not yet been opened, his There was already a hint of flattery in his tone: "Your Majesty, I have invited Dr. Shen over."
"Um."
A voice that was not salty came from inside: "Isn't the Military Selection Department very busy? There is no need to send it here in person. You can go back and do errands."
"yes."
Wei Kang lowered his head slightly, responded, then turned and left.
Not long after Dr. Wei left, the door of the public room opened. An old man in his fifties or sixties, taller than Shen Yi and a little lean, appeared in front of Shen Yi. He looked at Shen Yi up and down, and then asked : "Is it Shen Ziheng?"
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and raised his hands: "Sen Yi, the lower-ranking officer, pays homage to the Lord."
"Tsk..."
Jiang Shangshu made a sound with unknown meaning, then turned sideways and showed a smile to Shen Yi: "In this military department yamen, others call me "Master", and I respond. But you, Shen Ziheng, really don't know who you are. Counting our Ministry of War, it should still belong to the Hanlin Academy."
Shen Yi also showed a smile: "Xiaguan is in the Ministry of War now, so naturally he belongs to the Ministry of War."
"Slippery."
After Jiang Shangshu said something with a smile, he invited Shen Yi to come in and take a seat. After the old man and the young man sat down, Jiang Shangshu lowered his head and took a sip of tea and asked: "Zi Heng, when can we cleanse the Japanese pirates from the southeast?" ah?"
Shen Yi also took a sip of tea.
"If all goes well, in the second half of next year, the Japanese pirates along the coast will be cleared, and the maritime trade routes will be opened."
"OK."
Jiang Shangshu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people."
He smiled at Shen Yi and said: "When the time comes, Zi Heng will definitely still be at the Ministry of War. I will write a memorial to you personally to ask for your merits. Maybe I can earn you a servant."
These words...
Too fake…
Shen Yi looked up at the old man in front of him and rolled his eyes.
Thinking of the old man's age and position, he had some guesses in his mind.
This old man...
Could it be that you want to use yourself to improve your performance?
I'm still having a fever today, but it's a little lower than yesterday. I'm conscious now, so I'm trying to resume updating. There should be another one soon, but my hands are still shaking. If there are any mistakes or omissions, please remind me...
