The so-called performance improvement naturally means that the performance of quelling Japanese pirates should be attributed to the Ministry of War.
Furthermore, this allowed the Minister of War to make further progress and climb up another level.
What must be known is that the Ministry of War in Dachen has been unable to gain momentum since Emperor Xianzong. From the late Xianzong Dynasty to the Xiandi Dynasty, and then to this dynasty, in about thirty years, six ministerial books
, there are only two yamen ministers who have not paid homage to the prime minister.
Not a single prime minister has ever appeared.
One is the official department.
It is an unwritten rule that the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel does not worship the prime minister. After all, the power of the Minister of Heavenly Officials is too heavy. If he worships the prime minister again, it is easy to form his own party in the court.
And for more than thirty years, the Ministry of War has not had a single minister who worships the prime minister, which can only mean that the Ministry of War is too stretched.
Mainly because he has no political achievements.
To put it more bluntly, you can't beat anyone.
Not only could they not defeat him, they could not even control the border troops, which naturally made the Ministry of War very unpopular with the emperor. Even the young Emperor Hongde of this dynasty made some strange remarks to the Ministry of War in front of other ministers.
And Jiang Shangshu should be close to sixty years old this year.
It is unlikely that he would be transferred from the Ministry of War to another yamen and then be promoted to Zhongshu from another yamen.
Because of age it is not allowed.
If he wanted to go further, he could only jump from the position of Minister of the Ministry of War to Zhongshu.
After you enter Zhongshu and become prime minister, there is no age limit. As long as the emperor wants to use you, you can work until you die.
This is probably the little Jiujiu in Jiang Shangshu's heart.
However, there is no need to expose this kind of thinking. After all, the project of suppressing Japanese invaders was actually initiated by His Majesty the Emperor, so the final assessment of credit also lies with the Emperor.
You might as well fool this old man.
Ever since, Mr. Shen forced a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Since I joined the official position, I have basically been in the Ministry of War. If I can be in the Ministry of War, I will naturally continue to be in the Ministry of War."
"good."
Jiang Shangshu smiled, patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Zi Heng is in the southeast. Although he is on an imperial mission, he is still a member of our Ministry of War. If you need help from the Ministry of War, you can write to me directly.
, I will do my best to help you if I can."
In fact, Jiang Shangshu did not want to use this incident to gain any performance with the emperor.
He just wants the entire Ministry of War to have good "political achievements" externally, so that he, the Minister of the Ministry of War, can look brighter to the outside world.
Moreover... if the Ministry of War can have impressive political achievements, then the next time he is recommended, he will be included in the list of candidates.
When the time comes, as long as he walks around more and gets close to several prime ministers, he, Jiang Jian, may not be qualified to be the middle school secretary.
As a result, after both parties reached a consensus, the conversation went very happily. The two parties talked in the room for half an hour, and then Jiang Shangshu sent Shen Yi out of the room with a smile on his face.
Of course, no one can know what the Minister of War's expression looked like after he turned his back.
After meeting with the Secretary of the Ministry of War, the errands in the Ministry of War were almost done. Shen Yi walked all the way to the Martial Arts Department. He saw two subordinates waiting at the door of the Martial Arts Department. Shen Yi gestured to the two people and said calmly. He opened his mouth and said: "Let's go."
After that, he walked towards the gate of the Ministry of War with his hands behind his back. Ling Su and Xue Wei were holding the documents issued to them by the Ministry of War, with smiles on their faces. After hearing this, they immediately followed Shen Yi. Xue Wei was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. As he walked, he asked in a low voice: "Sir, are we leaving now?"
Shen Yi turned back and glanced at him: "What else do you want to do?"
Xue Wei scratched his head: "I thought I wanted to meet the Minister of War, or something like that..."
"After all, we have even met His Majesty..."
This time, before Shen Yi could speak, Ling Su on the side gave Xue Wei a sideways look and said slowly: "Just be content. There is no adult to lead the way. We will go alone. I'm afraid we won't even see Dr. Wei."
Shen Yi snorted coldly.
"Not only will you not be able to see him, I'm afraid you won't even be able to see his subordinates, including his subordinates and chief executives."
"Only when gold and silver open the way and pearls and jade knock on the door can we see these officials."
Mr. Shen squinted his eyes, looked back at the Ministry of War Yamen, and then said calmly: "And once the money is sent, the matter may not be able to be done for you. It will take you a month or two before I can give it to you. The paperwork is done."
"You two, this time, it's mainly because of the greetings from the palace."
Shen Yi said slowly: "That's why the Ministry of War did not dare to embarrass you, allowing you to complete all the paperwork in less than an hour."
Having said this, Shen Yi looked up at the sky. It was still some time before noon. He remembered what the prime minister had said to him, so he said to the two people behind him: "I will take you to the gate of the imperial city in a while. After you go out, Just walk around the city by yourself, I still have some things to do in the imperial city."
Having said this, Shen Yi paused and said, "By the way, you can come to my house for a meal in the evening, and we can discuss when to leave back to Yueqing."
The two people nodded one after another and said to Shen Yi, "Yes."
"also."
Mr. Shen glanced at the two people: "In Jiankang, you must not cause trouble. There are not many things here, but there are many officials. Don't think that you will be great just because you have been promoted. If you offend others, I will not protect you." "
At this point, Shen Yi coughed: "Also, don't go to the Qinhuai River if you have nothing to do. I heard someone said that you two spent several nights at the Qinhuai River."
The anti-Japanese army was rewarded with rewards for killing Japanese pirates, so both of them were relatively wealthy.
The oiran can't afford to sleep, but the one who sleeps a few times can afford it.
Both of them turned red, lowered their heads and said they understood.
After arranging for these two people, Shen Yi lowered his head to tidy up his official uniform, and then went to Zhongshu Province.
The administrative level of the Zhongshu Province is a whole level higher than that of the Ministry of War. If you want to go in to see several prime ministers, you need to notify them in advance. After Shen Yi informed that he wanted to see Prime Minister Chen, he waited at the entrance of the Zhongshu Province for a long time, and then I was told that Chen Xiang had gone to the palace to see the driver.
Since there was no one to see, Shen Yi had no reason to wait, but Chen Jing asked him to come to Zhongshu Province and he was already here. Whether he saw him or not was not his responsibility.
Ever since, Mr. Shen turned around and left Zhongshu Province.
Because the errands had been finished, Shen Yi did not stay in the imperial city longer. He left the imperial city directly and returned to his home to accompany his wife and children.
After returning home, Mrs. Lu Ruoxi was coaxing the children to sleep in the house. Seeing that Shen Yi had returned home early, she raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Yi, and said softly: "Why did you come back so early today? I thought your husband was going to talk to those two people again. A subordinate, let’s go out for a drink together.”
Mr. Shen sat down next to Madam with a smile, held Madam's hand, and said with a smile: "Anything about drinking or not, it's all business and entertainment."
"Whenever I can come back, my husband will come back as soon as possible."
"Only you can talk."
Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes at Shen Yi, then looked at Shen Yi and sighed: "Are you leaving soon again?"
Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows and said with some helplessness in his tone: "Absolutely, I have to finish my errands."
He took his wife's hand and chuckled: "After this errand is done, I will earn a life for my wife and come back."
Lu Ruoxi snorted: "I don't want any royalties."
Shen Yi smiled: "What does the madam want?"
Mrs. Shen held Shen Yi's hand, her face slightly red.
"night…"
"I'll tell you tonight..."
I'm a little out of my mind. Please correct me if there are any mistakes or omissions. I'll correct them after I wake up! My head hurts a little, so I'd rather go to bed first!
