Chapter 1568, I am ready to retire at the age of sixty
Liu Jin's mansion in the capital.
Xu Wan'er and Li Zhen were personally dressing Liu Jin in the official government and official hats. The crimson robes were embroidered with cranes, official uniforms that could only be worn by first-class officials.
Liu Jin himself is extremely handsome. Even though he is already in his thirties, he still looks the same as he did in his twenties, and he has a mature charm about him.
As the saying goes, a man has thirty-one flowers. This is exactly what it says. A man is still young but has a real sense of manliness.
The two of them watched while dressing Liu Jin. The more they looked at it, the more they liked it and their little faces turned red.
"My husband looks really good in what he wears."
Xu Waner adjusted Liu Jin's clothes slightly, her eyes filled with joy.
She came from a wealthy family, and she knew very well how glorious Liu Jin was wearing the uniform of a first-class official.
A military general's lifelong pursuit is to be a wolf and a subordinate, while for civil servants, having a first-rank official position, serving as general and prime minister, and assisting the king are their highest ideals and pursuits.
Liu Jin entered the cabinet and was promoted to a first-rank official. It can be said that he has basically reached the pinnacle of civil service. In previous dynasties, he would have been prime minister, which was already the pinnacle of civil service.
Liu Jin had already accomplished this in his thirties, and countless civil servants throughout the dynasty had red eyes.
In their thirties, many people may not have even passed the Jinshi examination, let alone a first-rank official position or become a cabinet minister.
Liu's promotion speed can be described as a rocket. He is young, holds a high position, is the pillar of the country, and the humerus of the emperor. Although he may be a little inferior to those monsters in history, he can definitely be regarded as one.
The youngest cabinet minister in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, in history, there are also people who entered the cabinet in their thirties, such as the famous Zhang Juzheng and Zhou Yanru in the late Ming Dynasty. They both became cabinet ministers in their thirties, and soon became the chief minister of the cabinet. It can be said that they are both
A real awesome person.
Both of them won the imperial examination when they were teenagers, and became Jinshi when they were about 20 years old. They worked in the Hanlin Academy to edit and compile books, etc. After working for a few years, they were promoted to Minister of the Sixth Ministry and Minister, and then joined the cabinet.
In the final analysis, it is actually because they were very young when they were selected as Jinshi. They were selected as Jinshi when they were around 20 years old and worked in the Hanlin Academy.
Others are generally in their twenties when they win the imperial examination, and they are in their thirties or forties when they win the imperial examination. Now they enter the Hanlin Academy, and after a few years they are already in their fifties or sixties. When they join the cabinet again, they are already older.
Big.
The promotion speed is actually about the same. The key is that they were too young when they were selected as Jinshi, so they entered the cabinet and became cabinet ministers in their thirties.
The same goes for Liu Jin. He was the top scorer in high school at the age of nineteen, studied in the Hanlin Academy, led soldiers in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to manage the treasury, and worked in the Ministry of Personnel for several years. It was reasonable for him to join the cabinet.
thing.
"Yes, it reminds me of the time when he won the top prize and paraded through the streets."
Li Zhen was also full of admiration. Her grandfather Li Hui had been an official all his life and his official position was not as high as that of Liu Jin. She also knew very well what it meant to join the cabinet and become a cabinet minister.
"That was all many years ago."
When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately recalled that time had passed so quickly. More than ten years had passed in a flash. He thought that he was just a scholar at the time, but in the blink of an eye, he was now a cabinet minister and a first-class official.
"My lord, you are already a cabinet minister in your thirties, and you will be very tired in the future. If you are like the chief minister, who is still an official in your seventies, you will have to do it for decades.
"
Xu Waner looked at Liu Jin, thought for a while and said.
"I will not work until I am seventy or eighty. I will retire when I am sixty, or even in my fifties. Then I will take my two beautiful wives with me to visit and walk around the great mountains and rivers of Ming Dynasty.
, it’s great to travel around the mountains and play in the water.”
"I'm not going to spend my whole life working."
When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately shook his head.
This old man is 80 years old. If he doesn’t go back and take good care of himself, will he die at work?
Although it is indeed a good feeling to hold great power, if someone like Liu Jian, who is already in his 70s or nearly 80s, is still working hard, this is seriously inconsistent with Liu Jin's own plan for life.
Liu Jin, who comes from later generations, does not want to work until he is sixty or seventy years old. In his fifties, or at most sixty, Liu Jin will retire and take his two beautiful wives to travel around the world.
Isn’t it nice to have fun?
Does it make sense to stick to work?
"You are still a beautiful wife. By that time, we will all be old and we will be old. You will definitely change your mind and no longer like us."
When Xu Waner heard this, she immediately felt happy in her heart. After thinking about it, she said sadly.
"How can it be? In my eyes, you will always be the most beautiful. No matter whether the sea is dry or the rocks are rotting, or the sea is changing, you will always be my favorite."
"Come on, give me a kiss~"
Liu Jin hugged one with each hand and kissed them on the mouth.
"There are servants here~"
Xu Waner and Li Zhen gave in half, saying that there was a servant there, but they didn't hide away. They didn't know how sweet it was in their hearts. Look at Liu Jin, and then look at the wealthy families in the capital. Who doesn't have three wives and four concubines?
Yes, Liu Jin is so infatuated, only the two of them.
"Haha, wait until I come back next morning~"
After kissing his beautiful wife, Liu Jin was so proud that his horse was hoofed. He went out and got into a four-wheeled carriage to go to the palace.
"Mr. Liu~"
"Mr. Liu~"
"Mr. Liu~"
Arriving outside the imperial city, there was still some time before the morning court meeting, and I saw Liu Jin walking towards him wearing a brand-new first-class official uniform. The officials I met along the way also said hello to Liu Jin.
"Good morning Mr. Li~"
"Good morning, prince~"
Liu Jin also responded with a smile.
In the past, although Liu Jin was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and was in charge of the officials in the world, because Liu Jin was young, many officials were not willing to call Liu Jin Liu Gong, but called him Master Liu. Now that he has joined the cabinet, his status is high again.
, everyone also called Liu Gong.
"You brat, how does it feel to be a cabinet minister?"
As usual, Liu Jin also came to the front, and Zhang Mao came over and asked.
"Ahem, it still feels pretty good."
Liu Jin smiled and replied.
Looking at Zhang Mao again, he is also very old, his hair is graying, and his health is getting worse day by day.
"It's better to be young. At such a young age, you are already a cabinet minister in your thirties. It's really enviable."
Zhang Mao looked at Liu Jin. He was young, handsome, and confident. Then he looked at himself. He was already old. He only relied on the blessings of his ancestors to become this British prince.
If you let yourself take the imperial examination and become an official, you will rest your whole life and reach Liu Jin's position.
"Speaking of which, why didn't I marry my granddaughter to you at that time? I was giving Lao Xu an advantage in vain."
Zhang Mao thought about being a matchmaker for Liu Jin. At that time, he felt that Liu Jin's future was limitless. Who knows how many years have passed and he has already become a cabinet minister.
"Mr. Zhang, it's not too late."
Liu Jin knew that Lao Zhang was joking with him, so he said it with a shameless face.
"Go, go~"
When Zhang Mao heard this, he immediately waved his hands.
"Haha~"
Liu Jin smiled and came to Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Zhong Zhong, Han Wen and others.
Liu Jin entered the cabinet, and Zhong Zhong was changed from the Minister of Hubu to the Minister of Libu. Although the rank did not change, there was still a big difference between the Hubu and the Libu. The Libu Shangshu was known as the Heavenly Official, with a high position and power.
Right now, before liberation, the life of the Minister of Hubu was the most miserable. He was poor and wanted money everywhere, but even the treasury could starve a rat to death.
Han Wen used to be the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, but now he has become a minister of the Ministry of Finance. Now he is smiling all over his face. After all, he has been promoted.
"Liu Gong, Li Gong, Ji Gong, Han Gong~"
"Mr. Liu~"
Several people met and greeted each other.
Several people looked at Liu Jin in front of them. He was young and good-looking. The key was that he was already a cabinet minister in his thirties. From now on, if nothing unexpected happens, the situation in Ming Dynasty will be worse in the next few decades.
Under the influence of Liu Jin.
Thinking about myself again, when I was in my thirties, I had just become a Jinshi and started to enter the official career. I felt that I was slowly getting ahead when I was in my fifties, and it was only when I was sixty that I achieved my current identity and status.
.
Among the few, Li Dongyang is the one who can compete with Liu Jin. Li Dongyang was a Jinshi in high school at the age of seventeen, ranked first in the second class, and was among the fourth in total. He entered the Hanlin Academy to study.
It stands to reason that Li Dongyang could have entered the cabinet early, but Li Dongyang was not very lucky. After entering the Hanlin Academy, his first wife Liu Jin died of illness, and his father-in-law died of illness the next year. In another two years and three
My younger brother died of illness again, and a few years later, Yue, who had renewed her marriage, died of illness again.
A year later, Li Dongyang's second brother died of illness again. After a few years of rest, his father died of illness again, and he had to return to his hometown to guard the system for a few years, which again delayed his promotion.
Later, in the eighth year of Hongzhi's reign, Li Dongyang's second son died of illness again. A few years later, he himself fell ill again. In the fourteenth year of Hongzhi's reign, his eldest son died of illness again.
In grief, he even went to Fangshan to choose a cemetery for himself.
It can be said that although Li Dongyang was similar to Liu Jin, he was young and talented. He was admitted to Jinshi at a young age and ranked among the best in the examination. However, along the way, he was either sick or someone in his family died of illness. It can be said that he was exhausted physically and mentally, and his official career was delayed.
But even so, Li Dongyang was already a cabinet minister at the age of forty-eight, which is still very young.
So, when you are an official, luck is also very important.
"It's better to be young~"
Li Dongyang and Liu Jian looked at Liu Jin and couldn't help but sigh.
It is really enviable to be a cabinet minister in his thirties. Think about your own life. The gap is really not that big. Although I am also a cabinet minister, I am getting older and my health is getting worse every day.
It’s been a day.:.
After all, the future still belongs to these young people. To provide you with the fastest update of Ming Zhenhai King, Chapter 1568, I am ready to retire at the age of sixty for free reading.:.
