After this idea circulated in Shen Yi's mind for a while, Mr. Shen himself rejected it.
If this kind of thing was done by Ling Su, then Shen Yi would probably think so, but Xue Wei should not have such a city.
Although Ling Su had such a brain, he did not have the courage to offend the emperor.
So he didn't come.
After Jiang Sheng sent Xue Wei away, Mr. Shen no longer felt sleepy. It happened to be a holiday in the afternoon, so he went out for a walk and played chess with Old Man Gu all afternoon.
The next morning, Master Shen went to work at the Ministry of War as usual.
Not long after he arrived and sat down in his independent public room, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of Zheng Ling, the head of the Martial Arts Department, came from outside: "Sir, I have something to report to you."
Zheng Ling is much older than Shen Yi, but he is a young member of the Ministry of War. Now after several reminders from Mr. Shen, he has become Shen Yi's younger brother in the Military Selection Department.
But for now, I am still the kind of little brother who sits on the fence and may slip out at any time when things go wrong.
After all, he hasn't seen the benefits of seriousness yet, so it's normal for him to run away at any time. After Master Shen controls him as a martial arts officer, he will probably be promoted to Master Shen's die-hard younger brother.
Shen Yi stretched out and said lazily: "Master Zheng, come in."
Zheng Ling then bowed and walked in, holding three or four documents in his hand. He placed them on Shen Yi's desk and said cautiously: "Sir, you were not in the ministry yesterday. There are some small matters decided by Mr. Wu."
I don’t dare to say anything more, but I have two fifth-grade military attaché documents and one third-grade military attache document. I will argue with you and wait for you to come back and deal with it.”
Mr. Shen smiled hoarsely: "Wu Yuanwailang dares to handle the documents of a third-grade military attaché?"
"no no…"
Zheng Ling quickly shook his head and said: "Master Wu said that he wanted to deliver it to the hall on your behalf. I feel that this kind of matter should be delivered to the hall by you, whether to send it... or when to send it to the hall.
So I stopped him..."
Mr. Shen squinted his eyes and glanced at the head of the Ministry of War in front of him, and said with a smile: "I have to hand it over to a third-grade general."
Shen Yi didn't finish his sentence.
It stands to reason that the personnel issues of military generals of third rank and above must be handed over to the Minister of Secretariat above to deal with them. However, unless the Shangguan directly asks, he, the Minister, can decide when to send them.
This is one of the more important powers he has as the number one doctor in the Ministry of War.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi looked at the three documents on the table and said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng is interested. I will get off work another day. I will treat Chief Zheng to a drink."
When Zheng Ling heard this, he was overjoyed and quickly lowered his head and said: "When it comes to drinking, it should be that the lower official invites you to drink. The lower official invites you to drink..."
Mr. Shen nodded with a smile.
"We are all colleagues, no matter who invites us, it will be the same."
In the gentle conversation between the two gentlemen, a political deal was reached unknowingly.
However, whether the deal can be concluded depends on what the two people said in private.
And after the conditions are met, the benefits are not paid in time.
After sending Zheng Ling away, Shen Yi approved the two documents for the fifth-grade official in front of him, flipped through the documents for the third-grade official, and sent them to Jiang Jian.
It is worth mentioning that Jiang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of War, respected Shen Yi as his subordinate very much. He would even ask Shen Yi about personnel issues when he was present.
This has made Mr. Shen's life in the Ministry of War very comfortable, and he has basically fully grasped all the powers of the Military Selection Department.
This is actually not an easy thing.
Because this position is relatively important and extremely lucrative, even people who join the job at a normal age have to spend a lot of time and energy to please their bosses and win over their subordinates before they can slowly gain a firm position.
Not to mention a young doctor like Shen Yi.
In one morning, Shen Yi basically finished all the official work accumulated yesterday. At noon, he took a nap in the public room as usual.
After waking up, an official from the Military Selections Department came to report that an official came to the Military Selections Department with a note from the palace to exchange documents from the Military Selections Department.
In this case, the emperor promoted him to an official position, and after writing a note, he asked him to come to the Ministry of War to "pay".
There was no way, a wage earner like Mr. Shen had to pay for the things given by the boss. After yawning, Mr. Shen said lazily: "Let me in."
After a while, an official led two people to Shen Yi's office.
After the two people came in, they both stood with their hands down, looking respectful, but did not speak.
Mr. Shen glanced at the little official and said, "Serve tea to the two adults, and then leave."
"yes."
The clerk bowed his head respectfully, then took a look at the grades of the two people, and served tea of the corresponding grade.
After tea was served, the clerk respectfully withdrew.
After the man left, the older one of the two respectfully clasped his fists at Shen Yi, lowered his head and said, "Ling Su, a lowly official, pays homage to Mr. Shen."
Xue Wei on the side also quickly lowered his head: "Xue Wei, a humble official, pays homage to Duke Shen!"
Mr. Shen waved his hand and laughed dumbly.
"Which of you two is of higher rank than me, how can you say that you have a humble position?"
Of these two people, one is now the third-rank commander, and the other is a junior third-rank commander, also called the deputy commander.
Each one is higher than Shen Yi's grade.
Xue Wei was sullen and could not speak, while Ling Su smiled and said, "Mr. Shen is joking. If it weren't for Gong Shen's support, I would have lost my humble position as a thousand households."
Xue Wei lowered his head, his face a little red: "I was confused yesterday, please forgive me..."
Shen Yi waved his hand, and then said: "Are you going to the palace to be holy today?"
The two of them nodded,
Master Shen thought for a while and asked again: "Have you been promoted?"
Xue Wei respectfully handed the note to Shen Yi and said: "Mr. Shen, I was lucky enough to be promoted from a humble position. Brother Ling..."
Ling Su on the side was very free and easy. He lowered his head slightly and said: "Mr. Shen, I am currently serving as the commander of the Fuzhou Guard. If I get promoted, I will be promoted to the capital division. I am not qualified enough for my qualifications and merits..."
"But this time, Your Majesty asked the humble commander-in-chief Songjiang Mansion to train troops..."
Shen Yi nodded, yawned and said: "Pass your note over, I will write the document and seal it for you now, and then send it to the hall for sealing."
Since it is a matter that the emperor has agreed to do, as long as the Ministry of War does not deliberately create difficulties, it will usually give it a stamp of approval.
The two of them each took the note they had obtained from the palace and placed it in front of Shen Yi. Master Shen took up the pen to write. Ling Su was very discerning and took the initiative to run to Shen Yi's desk and help Shen Yi polish the ink.
While he was grinding, he asked: "Sir, we are all in charge of the Five Guards. Most of the thousands of households are replaced by hundreds. There are still five guard posts, and they all lack commanders and commanders to direct the affairs..."
"The Ministry of War needs to be transferred from thousands of households."
"Originally, I shouldn't say this to you, my lord, but after thinking about it, you are not an outsider either..."
Shen Yi was writing at the moment. When he heard this, he stopped writing and glanced at Ling Su.
"We'll talk about it after this training session is over."
"Also, for the Qianhu under the Fifth Guards, I can provide you with supplementary information, but it is not within my authority to command the generals and colleagues."
"You commanders have to report this to Jiang Shangshu."
Ling Su bowed his head respectfully: "Yes, brothers, thank you very much."
After Ling Su finished speaking, Xue Wei came forward. He clasped his fists at Shen Yi and asked, "How is Mr. Shen doing lately?"
Seeing Shen Yi lowering his head to write, he ignored him. He took out a wooden box from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Yi. He lowered his head and said: "Mr. Shen, this is a set of pens made by the top pen craftsmen in Guangzhou Prefecture. It is specially for children.
It’s for use. I heard that the young master is already three years old, so he should be able to use it.”
Shen Yi stopped writing and looked at Xue Wei helplessly.
"You, you, really don't know the occasion at all."
"Do you know where this is? Do you know what you are doing here?"
Mr. Shen said helplessly: "You are a local military commander, and you are here to lead the Military Selection Department. At this time, don't you think it is inappropriate for you to give me something?"
"Humble... humble position, I know I shouldn't be in the Ministry of War..."
He was a little stuttered when he spoke.
"So I went to your house yesterday..."
"OK OK."
Mr. Shen interrupted him and said, "Don't mention this matter. There are many people here and don't give anything away."
"Well... let's do it tomorrow."
Mr. Shen thought for a while and said slowly: "We are colleagues after all. Come to my house tomorrow and have a meal together."
After saying this, Shen Yi looked at Ling Su and said with a smile: "Is General Ling coming?"
