Chapter 974: Officialdom Strategy
When it was noon on the sun, Han Yi and Xiao Wuyi left the room. After a night of nourishment, Xiao Wuyi looked even more charming. Looking at his wife, Han Yi was full of love!
"Son-in-law, Sister Mudan, the master and the others are here."
"You go, I won't go!"
When Xiao Wuyi heard this, he walked back immediately, unable to hold on!
Han Yi said in surprise: "What? Are you having a conflict with your uncle and others again?"
"What did you say!"
Xiao Wuyi gave him a blank look and said, "It's not your fault."
"Blame me again?" Han Yi felt a great injustice. He had just returned!
Xiao Wuyi said, "It's already this time, I have no shame to go there. If you want to go there, you will."
After saying that, she hurried back to the house.
Han Yi was stunned for a while, and laughed and walked towards the front hall.
When I arrived at the front hall, I saw many elders sitting inside, Xiao Ju, Xiao Shan, Xiao Jun and others.
When Xiao Ju saw Han Yi, he laughed and said, "Our great hero is here."
Han Yi took a few quick steps, saluted several elders one by one, and said, "Uncle is really an over-reward. I am a guilty minister!"
Xiao Ju said, "So I didn't go to congratulate you at the celebration banquet yesterday, but now I'm all my family here, so why are you pretending? Your Majesty asked you to supervise the delivery of food and grass, just to make meritorious contributions. As a result, when you make such a great contribution, all the civil and military officials in the court know that Your Majesty will definitely promote you."
Speaking of this, Han Yi really doesn't know what to say.
Xiao Shan suddenly asked, "Han Yi, do you know what official will Your Majesty be promoted to you?"
This is their purpose today, because Han Yi has become the most promising rising star in his Xiao family. Han Yi's promotion is very important for the entire Xiao family.
Han Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know this yet."
Li Zhi did not mention this last night, and of course he was not easy to ask, but he knew that Li Zhi would definitely be promoted to him.
Xiao Ju and others looked at each other.
Xiao Jun said: "You have made military achievements, but in my opinion, Your Majesty will not be able to let you take office in the army. I think 80% will let you go to the Ministry of War."
Han Yi said a little scaredly: "It's impossible. I'm just a wild way. I really don't know how to fight. If I really let me dispatch the army seriously, I can't handle it."
Xiao Ju nodded and said, "This is our purpose today. Instead of waiting for His Majesty to give him a reward, it is better for us to discuss it first and then report to Your Majesty. Your Majesty must also know that it is your intention, and just say it through our mouths. As long as the reason is appropriate, Your Majesty should agree."
Han Yi said cautiously: "Is this OK?"
"What's wrong with it? Isn't it the case for civil and military officials in the court?"
Xiao Ju smiled and said, "You have just entered the court and don't understand the rules here. Unless the second and third rank officials are usually appointed by Your Majesty themselves, the rest are recommended by the minister or arranged by the Ministry of Personnel. Otherwise, Your Majesty would not know which government offices are vacant. But even if you are so young, even if you make such great contributions, you will definitely not be able to directly advance to the third rank. No matter what, Your Majesty must still ask the minister first. Originally, the Censor General was a good position, but unfortunately Your Majesty has been appointed, so it is better to come to the three provinces and practice for a few years. In time, you may be able to become the Minister of the Yellow Sect. This is the prime minister who will be later added!"
Xiao Jun and others nodded, thinking that this strategy is good, because the three provinces are the central organization. When it comes to this, then wait for success.
I have been waiting for a few years before I became the Minister of the Yellow Sect. I have been in a hurry. Can't you see it? Han Yi said: "Isn't the Minister of the Yellow Sect only the fourth rank?"
Xiao Jun said angrily and hilariously: "You still think that the fourth rank is inferior? You are even higher than my advisor! I guess Your Majesty will be able to upgrade you to the fourth rank at most. This is already very impressive. If you can become the Huangmen Minister at the age of 30, it will be a fortune. This position has real power, and only the ministers who Your Majesty trust most can take this position. At that time, Chu Suiliang and Han Yuan were promoted to the Huangmen Minister first, and then they were out of control, but he was nearly fifty years old before he took the Huangmen Minister."
It is amazing if you are above the fifth rank. Han Yi's Chaosan doctor only enjoys the treatment of a fifth rank aristocratic, but does not enjoy the power of above the fifth rank. He is directly promoted from the fifth rank to the fourth rank. This is a qualitative change and is already a high-rank official. Xiao Jun has been living in such a long time, that is, from the fourth rank official. In fact, many officials have come here and it is difficult to rise any further. As for the rise, they are at the prime minister level, unless they are given some false titles to show rewards.
If Han Yi was in his early twenties, he would be a fourth-rank official and not a false position. Xiao Jun and the others would cry to death, which would be too bullying.
Han Yi felt so heartbroken when he heard this. He only jumped to the first level after making such a great contribution. The third rank of the Minister of Revenue is so difficult to enter the fifth rank. The third rank is the highest honor of the nobles, and it is even more difficult to reach the sky!
Seeing Han Yi's face was bitter, Xiao Ju said, "What? You really don't even look down on the three provinces?" The implication is that you opened the court?
"No, no!"
Han Yi shook his head quickly and said, "It's just that the son-in-law's calligraphy is something that all elders should have seen. I feel it's unbearable to me. Isn't it embarrassing to go to Sansheng?"
Where can you go? Everyone wants to see this word?
Xiao Rui smiled and said, "We are still talking about this issue just now. You have to practice your character well. If you go to the imperial examination, you will only have your character. No matter how well the article is written, I will not take a look at it. So, your uncle plans to teach you how to write!"
Han Yi was so scared that he was sweating in a cold sweat. He was so tired! It was not that he didn’t want to learn, but that he didn’t have time to learn. Practicing calligraphy takes time, but with that time, it’s better to practice running. It’s true! He hurriedly said: “No, this bad word is just an excuse for the son-in-law. You can’t take it seriously, you can’t take it seriously. The son-in-law actually doesn’t want to go to the headquarters of the Three Provinces.”
"Three Provinces Headquarters? Then—where do you want to go?"
"The Ministry of Revenue, a subsidiary of the three provinces!" Han Yi told the truth. He wondered if he could rely on the Xiao family's forces to go to the Ministry of Revenue, because Changsun Wuji was not able to come forward to help.
"Ministry of Revenue?"
Xiao Rui laughed!
Han Yi said: "Father-in-law, what's wrong?"
Xiao Rui said: "Although the six ministries are equal, it is not the case. If you want to go to the six ministries, you should go to the Ministry of Works first, then the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Rites. Then you will go to the Ministry of Revenue, and finally the Ministry of Personnel. Among the six ministries, only the Minister of Personnel is the fourth rank, and the rest are from the fourth rank."
125! When fighting tigers on the mountain, it turns out that the Ministry of Revenue has reached the level of fighting tigers! Han Yi feels that the more he hears, the more depressed he becomes.
Xiao Shan said: "And the Ministry of Revenue is already saturated and there is no vacancy. Even the people in the queue are almost arranged to go to Luoyang from the chief. In addition, the Ministry of Revenue has always been under the control of the Taiwei's forces. Can the Taiwei let you go!"
Everyone is not stupid. The Ministry of Revenue is a fat man. All forces want their own people to enter the Ministry of Revenue. So many nobles are eyeing him. How can you be able to intervene? The reason why the Ministry of Personnel ranks first among the six ministries is because the Ministry of Personnel is the head of officials and has great power, but the Ministry of Revenue has a lot of fuel and water. Of course, can power also become money? If you want to enter the Ministry of Revenue, you have to find the Ministry of Personnel first. The reason is very simple.
But Han Yi didn't want to go to Sansheng, so there was nothing to play in that place, so the key was that he couldn't play.
Seeing that Han Yi was still hesitating, Xiao Ju felt anxious for him and said, "Han Yi, why don't you understand yet! Han Yuan, the minister of the disciple, and the minister of the Central Secretariat, were just exempted from the third rank of the minister of the Central Secretariat. What does this mean? That is, Your Majesty no longer trusts them. In my opinion, they may not stay for a long time. Once they leave, their subordinates will have to follow them. There will definitely be many vacancies, and you will naturally make up for it."
This is what officials are all counted as the core. Han Yi’s promotion, on the surface, has nothing to do with Han Yuan and Lai Ji. You can’t replace them from the fifth rank, right? This is impossible, but these veteran drivers all see the prospects. Why did Changsun Wuji throw Zhang Ming to the Censorate to be an eighth rank supervisor? It’s just how many years the censors at that time could live at most? Just after just getting a little more experience in these years, he died, and you will go.
Han Yi said curiously: "What happened in the court again?" Xiao Wuyi mentioned this to him, but Xiao Wuyi was not very clear about it.
Xiao Rui sighed: "It is said that because Shizhong Han went to His Majesty to help Chu Suiliang plead for mercy, which angered His Majesty. Lai Ji seemed to have participated. His Majesty was angry and would have eliminated their third rank of the Secretariat." From his tone, he felt that Li Zhi was a little wrong. Han Yuan, Lai Ji valued loyalty, which is worthy of admiration.
Xiao Jun said: "The reason why they were the third rank of the Secretariat was that their position was not high enough, but His Majesty needed them to participate in the discussion of political affairs. After that, they could discuss matters with His Majesty and the Secretariat. Now they are the chief officials of the Secretariat and the Secretariat, which is inevitable. In fact, they have little to do with their power, which is mainly to show that they no longer have the trust of His Majesty. This is a taboo for ministers!"
Han Yi was frowning deeply when he heard this. These two idiots actually angered the emperor because of this. Can loyalty be used as a meal? After pondering in his heart, he smiled at the elders and said, "Uncles and uncles, father-in-law, I won't mention this matter for the time being."
"Why?" Xiao Ju said curiously.
Han Yi said: "You all know how uncles and father-in-law, father-in-law, and how the son-in-law entered the court. I have never taken the regular route once. Because my ability is different from all officials, it has always been arranged by Your Majesty. I really can't do that job. Your Majesty must also know it in his heart, so I think although Your Majesty has not said it, he must have his own plans."
Xiao Ju and others looked at each other, as if there was some reason.
Just then, a servant walked in and said, "Master Qi, Sang Mu from Fengfeilou is asking for a son-in-law outside the door."
"Sangmu?"
Han Yi was stunned, then said to Xiao Rui, then hurried out and came to the door. Sang Mu stood in front of the door and seemed very anxious!
I hope this news is not too bad! Han Yi muttered, then walked forward and smiled: "Sang Mu, I didn't expect that you thought of me so much, so you came here to find me."
When Sang Mu saw Han Yi, a trace of guilt flashed across his face and said, "My benefactor, something is wrong with Jinxing."
Damn it! Han Yi cursed inwardly and then said, "If you want to dilute the joy in my heart, let me continue to work hard and don't be arrogant. Congratulations, you did it."
