……

For hundreds of years in the Ming Dynasty, officials were ranked after the third rank, and if they could go further, their promotion paths were mostly similar.

First, it is to enter the Imperial Procuratorate or the Sixth Department to serve as an inspector of the imperial history or left and right squires, so that after several years of training, you can fully understand the policies and programs of the imperial court, which is the first step;

Then, he was sent to the local area to serve as the political envoy from the second grade, became a feudal official, and transferred several times between different provinces, so as to accumulate enough qualifications, experience and contacts, which is the second step;

Then, if the official's political achievements during his tenure as a political envoy are good enough, and his backers in the court are tough enough, he can also return to the center of the capital and take up the position of the six Shangshu, which is the third step;

In the end, if the qualifications, means, and grace of the officials are sufficient, they can go one step further and enter the cabinet to become the elder of the court, and from then on they will be extremely popular!

Today, the four elders in the cabinet, whether it is Zhou Shangjing, Huang Yourong, or Cheng Yuandao and Shen Changmao, are all following a similar path and climbing to their current position step by step.

…………

However, this is just a normal promotion path, and it does not apply to Zhao Junchen.

Since entering the officialdom, Zhao Junchen has won the favor of Emperor Deqing, and Emperor Deqing is inseparable from Zhao Junchen's financial skills, so Zhao Junchen has been staying in the center of the capital and serving in the household department, and has no experience as an official in the outside world.

Today, in just seven or eight years, Zhao Junchen has become the head of the imperial court, and the second rank of the court! In the hundreds of years of the Ming Dynasty, if you talk about the speed of promotion, no one can compare with Zhao Junchen.

But such an experience, although it seems to be smooth sailing. With the help of Emperor Deqing, he took a shortcut, and there was no step of sending a local official away, but the principle of hard work and harvest is the norm in the world, and taking a shortcut often means that there will be some hidden danger!

Today's Zhao Junchen has a deep understanding of this!

Dispatched to the local government as an official. Becoming a feudal official seems to be far away from the center of the capital, and the period is quite hard, but for those ambitious officials, it is definitely an indispensable and critical step.

This is because the environment in local officialdom is relatively simple. Unlike in the capital, where there are many factions, intertwined, and countless people are watching every move, once he becomes a feudal official, he is not subject to many constraints, and there is not much pressure and competition when promoting cronies, bribing officials, and expanding contacts. As long as you manage it carefully, you can get a large number of cronies and friends. In the future, when you enter the center of the court, there are also people who can help you.

For example, Zhou Shangjing, before entering the cabinet, has served as the political envoy of Henan, Anhui, and Huguang Zuobu. It is precisely because of this that Zhou Shangjing's position in the court can stabilize Mount Tai.

Another example is Huang Yourong, who successively served as a political envoy in Shaanxi, Jiangxi, and Guizhou provinces, and accumulated a large number of contacts and cronies during this period.

To put it simply, this kind of experience of serving as a feudal official is for these powerful ministers in the court. It is a key step to lay a solid foundation for yourself and accumulate your foundation!

As for Zhao Junchen, it is precisely because of the lack of this experience as a feudal official that there is now an embarrassment of lack of talent.

For example, now, there are so many vacancies in the DPRK and the central government, but Zhao Junchen is available because there is no one under him. I can only watch!

In this regard, Zhao Junchen is also very helpless, but he can only operate slowly, taking one step at a time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

However, with Zhou Shangjing's old scheming, he had already understood Zhao Junchen's shortcomings, so he proposed such a deal to Zhao Junchen!

- He will fully support one of Zhao Junchen's friends to serve as the official position of the political envoy of Shandong, while Zhao Junchen will give up the competition for the position of Shangshu of the Criminal Department!

I have to say that for Zhou Shangjing's mentions, Zhao Junchen was really moved.

Although the position of the secretary of the criminal department is more important, for Zhao Junchen at present, he needs the position of the political envoy of Shandong even more!

Zhao Junchen knew that Emperor Deqing could not do without him, so he would never send himself to a local area and serve as a feudal official.

But Zhao Junchen can choose a suitable candidate from his friends to be transferred!

Then, with the help of this friend, Zhao Junchen can still promote his cronies, buy officials, expand his contacts, and make up for the lack of his own background! It's like what a few elders once did!

Moreover, compared with the political envoys of other provinces, the position of the political envoy of Shandong is also more attractive to Zhao Junchen!

First, Shandong is very close to the capital, which is convenient for Zhao Junchen to contact and control, and he doesn't have to worry about his friend being out of control after becoming a feudal official, so that Zhao Junchen's various operations will be put into flow and make a wedding dress for others!

Second, because of the emergence of the "Southern Tour Preparation Fraud Case", now the crown prince Zhu and Yu are serving as the Qincha patrol place, and during this period of time, from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River, countless officials along the way have fallen and fallen, and this situation is most obvious in Shandong!

Nowadays, there are a large number of vacancies in Shandong, and if you get the position of political envoy in Shandong, you can also promote a large number of cronies and buy officials, so as to get twice the result with half the effort, and you can make up for a large amount of savings in a short time!

Therefore, Zhou Shangjing's mention made Zhao Junchen unmoved.

…………

However, although Zhao Junchen was moved, he did not agree immediately.

Zhao Junchen still needs to think about more things, such as how Emperor Deqing will react if he cooperates with Zhou Shangjing? For another example, he had promised to fight for Li Lide's position as the secretary of the Criminal Department, if he broke his promise and became fat, what would his friends think?

These things need to be seriously considered by Zhao Junchen, and he can't just focus on the benefits in his eyes!

The other side. Seeing that Zhao Junchen was frowning and thinking about something, Zhou Shangjing was not in a hurry, just waiting quietly.

Zhou Shangjing believes that Zhao Junchen will never refuse him, because in Zhou Shangjing's eyes, Zhao Junchen is a smart person. And smart people will only choose what is good for them!

Sure enough, after thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Junchen suddenly spoke: "Master Fu, I'm afraid that these things, you and I don't count, and they have to be decided by His Majesty." If His Majesty has other ideas, even if you and I have a heart, I am afraid that there is nothing to be done. ”

In a way, Zhao Junchen's inquiry was already a promise to Zhou Shangjing's suggestion.

After hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Zhou Shangjing smiled slightly. Said slowly: "Junchen, are you worried that Your Majesty will have thoughts in his heart after seeing you and me cooperating, right?" In fact, you and I cooperate this time, there is no need to put it on the surface, Your Majesty He also knows that Junchen You want to let Li Lide, the servant of the Criminal Department, take over the position of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and you are also determined to do this, but Li Lide's qualifications are slightly insufficient after all, as long as Junchen, you will not go all out. There is no way that this position will fall on his head.

And looking at the Manchu Dynasty up and down, only the former Shandong political envoy Zhang Bochong's term of office is approaching, and he has also made outstanding political achievements during his tenure, and is most suitable for the position of the secretary of the criminal department. In this way, this cooperation between you and me. His Majesty doesn't know, so why should you worry? ”

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Junchen suddenly smiled and said, "Indeed, Li Lide has been serving in the Sixth Department all these years. Lacking some qualifications, now is a good time to go to the local experience, so the younger generation plans to let Li Lide replace Zhang Bochong, the political envoy of Shandong, what do you think? ”

Since Li Lide could not be appointed as the secretary of the Criminal Department, for the sake of compensation, Zhao Junchen still decided to let Li Lide serve as the official envoy of Shandong, and even if Li Lide's ability was slightly insufficient, he had always worked hard since he took refuge in Zhao Junchen, so Zhao Junchen could also reuse him with confidence.

In this regard, Zhou Shangjing naturally did not interfere, nodded and said: "Junchen's words are old and seek the country, and the old man will naturally not obstruct it." ”

"However, in this way, although the position of the secretary of the criminal department has been selected, but with the transfer of Li Lide, the positions of the two waiters of the criminal department are all vacant, according to the younger generation, Qin Huaiyuan, the young secretary of Dali Temple, has served in the three law divisions for many years, and is the best at the way of criminal trial, and can take over the position of the waiter of the criminal department, I don't know what the assistant thinks?" Zhao Junchen changed his words and said again.

After Li Lide was transferred, all his original operations in the Criminal Department would inevitably be taken over by other factions, and Zhao Junchen's influence on the Criminal Department would inevitably be greatly reduced, but this was what Zhao Junchen did not want to see.

However, now under Zhao Junchen's disciple, there is really no candidate to replace Li Lide, so Zhao Junchen thought of Qin Huaiyuan, the young secretary of Dali Temple.

Although this Qin Huaiyuan is a centrist, because of the "Huai River Flood Case", he has already cooperated with Zhao Junchen once, and he also accepted a bribe of 30,000 taels of silver from Zhao Junchen, and the two sides have already had a friendship! If Zhao Junchen helps him sit in the position of the squire of the Criminal Department this time, under the mutual relationship between the two sides, this Qin Huaiyuan may not be able to be bought by Zhao Junchen and become Zhao Junchen's new friend of the DPRK and China.

Zhou Shangjing could naturally guess Zhao Junchen's wishful thinking, and after thinking for a while, he also nodded: "The three chiefs of the Criminal Department have all resigned, and they really need an official who is good at criminal trial. ”

In this way, with the bargaining between Zhao Junchen and Zhou Shangjing, this transaction can be regarded as finalized.

…………

Next, Zuo Lanshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Lin Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Feng Po, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the two pavilion elders Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao, after receiving the will of Emperor Deqing, also came one after another.

Among them, Feng Po seemed to have guessed what would happen to him next, and his demeanor became more and more old, and after coming to the outside of the Heart Cultivation Palace, he was quite silent, and he didn't talk to anyone, just quietly waiting for the call of Emperor Deqing.

And Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao, the two elders, came together, and between the two talking and laughing, they made intimate moves from time to time, as if they were afraid that others would not know the news that the two of them had formed an alliance.

And after everyone came, the eunuch Zhang Xiu appeared from the palace of nourishing the heart and announced: "Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty has summoned you to meet you. ”
