Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 211 The Handsome Guy Yan Song

"Okay! I'll go see him! Young Master, do you want to meet this man? This man is very interesting."

Zhang Cong seems to have a good impression of Mr. Na Jiexi.

"Then let's meet each other!"

Qin Shao is also very curious. People who can make Zhang Cong like him should be very knowledgeable.

The two went to the reception room, which is where the newspaper office receives those long-term contributors.

Today's Jinghua tabloids have both part-time and long-term contributors.

Those who have contributed for a long time generally have relatively good writing skills, can wire newspapers, and can write news articles that can capture readers' minds.

This Mr. Jiexi is the most popular contributor recently. Not to mention the serialization of his suspenseful case this time, even before, many of his manuscripts were typeset on the first page.

The case of a living person being buried in a coffin has been serialized for a week and three times. Many people want to know the result, and some even went to Shuntian Mansion to inquire about the situation.

Qin Shao is actually very interested, this case is indeed attractive.

Of course, Mr. Jiexi analyzed the situation from all aspects of the case: the woodcutter, the Beihai girl Zhu, and the current suspenseful officials.

"Mr. Zhang!"

A tall, thin, handsome man in his early thirties saw Zhang Cong and Qin Shao approaching, and immediately got up and bowed his hands.

"Who is this?"

Seeing Qin Shao, Mr. Jiexi asked Zhang Cong.

Obviously he is already very familiar with Zhang Cong.

"This is Mr. Qin, who is considered to be a member of our newspaper."

Zhang Cong introduced Qin Shao with a smile.

In order to avoid ostentation, Qin Shao usually keeps a low profile when he comes to Shusi Tea House. If someone asks, he tells Zhang Cong that he will just give a vague introduction.

In today's era, it is also very common for wealthy people to invest in some stores in partnership.

"Young Master Qin!"

The man named Mr. Jiexi bowed his hands and saluted. Seeing that Zhang Cong was very respectful to the young man, his attitude was also very respectful.

This is a person who is very good at observing words and demeanor, his behavior is very stable, and his appearance is not bad, so it is easy to be liked by others.

No wonder Zhang Cong and the others called this Mr. Jiexi, and they admired and respected him very much.

At first he thought it was an old man!Didn't expect him to be so young.

"Mr. Jiexi is good!"

Qin Shao replied politely.

"Mr. Qin is polite. I only use the pseudonym Jiexi. Mr. Zhang and the others are too polite. I am Ming Yansong, and my character is Weizhong, so I can just call him Weizhong."

The man said in a gentle voice.

"Yan Song?"

Qin Shao cried out in surprise.

Is this person Yan Song?
The famous treacherous official Yan Song in history?
Yan Song turned out to be like this?So polite, good-looking, polite, low-key!
"Qin...Young Master Qin...Could it be that you know him?"

Yan Song looked at Qin Shao in surprise, apparently he was very strange to Qin Shao.

"Er... is Mr. from Xinyu, Jiangxi Province? I seem to have met a Xinyu person before, and he seems... seems to have mentioned you, saying that you are excellent in calligraphy and can be called a masterpiece."

Qin Shao hurriedly lied.

Of course it was the first time he saw Yan Song.

Fortunately, Yan Song, including Zhang Cong, did not doubt it.

In this era, even if the information lags behind.

But a person who can be admitted to Jinshi in a place is definitely famous in the whole province. Many people know him, and it is normal for him not to know others.

"Mr. Qin, you are welcome! I used to be Ding You at home and served the elders. I just returned to Shangjing this year. I was teaching at the Shangshutang, Qingshui Department, and my salary was not enough for my household registration. Fortunately, our newspaper office can help me a little bit so that I won’t have to pay for it. If you are not full, thank you and Mr. Zhang."

Yan Song said politely.

This goes to Beijing to hide a dragon and a crouching tiger, although there may not be someone standing behind a small shop owner.

Even though many Jinshi stayed in Shangjing, they were only minor officials in the Qingshui Yamen. Many of them were unable to make ends meet, and their lives were very difficult.

Yan Song has served his parents in his hometown for many years, with few sources of income and a lot of family expenses.

The family members were very polite to him at first, after all, he was admitted to Jinshi.

But he has been dormant at home for nearly ten years, and many people gradually feel that he is just an embroidered pillow, and it is useless to be a Jinshi.

Yan Song is a proud person. At the beginning, he didn't have common knowledge with those people. He returned to his hometown because of the chaos of the court.

But I found out that my hometown is not a pure land!
Although everyone in the Beijing circle is powerful, scholars still want face, and they are still polite in person.

In the barren land of my hometown county, people are even more rude and straightforward, and their power is shown on their faces.

The clansmen who used to be respectful even showed contempt when they saw him.

I don't care about it, and my family members are looked down upon by others, Yan Song gradually can't bear it.

Thinking about the result of studying for many years, how can I be reconciled?
He simply sent a letter to Yang Tinghe, the chief assistant of the dynasty, indicating his intention to come back.

I don't know if it was Yang Tinghe who read it, or his assistants.

Shun Shui's favor made him come to Beijing.

Yan Song was very happy at first, and wanted to work hard to report the kindness of Yang Shoufu's recommendation.

Who knew that when he came to Shangjing, he didn't even pass the threshold of Yang Shoufu's house.

Yang Shoufu is so busy, how can he think that there is Yan Song from a small county in Jiangxi Province.

Yan Song had no choice but to go to the Ministry of Officials to report first, and with the letter, he took a Qingshui position as a teacher in Shangshutang.

As for his identity, Zhang Cong was not surprised.

The officials of Qingshui Yamen in Shangjing have contributed a lot of articles to this Beijing tabloid. Whether they can pass or not, they have to pass his test!
"Brother Weizhong, do you understand the whole story of the case of burying Zhu's daughter alive? Has the manuscript been written yet?"

Zhang Cong is most concerned about this matter.

"The investigation has made it clear that Mrs. Zhu is Mao Yu's concubine."

"You said that the Ministry of Officials gave Mao Yu to the matter?"

Zhang Cong was surprised.

Qin Shao was also surprised.

Even though he didn't know Mao Yu well, he knew that it was very delicate for the Ministry of Officials to give him this position.

Because of the scientific research, he studied the functions of various official positions in Ming Dynasty.

Even though he is only a seventh-rank official, his official position is not high, but his function is not small.

It has a great right, that is, "Tingtui". "Ting Tui" is the highest level that can be pushed, and he decides the promotion of officials.

If an official in the Ming Dynasty wanted to be promoted, he had to pass the meeting and push him away.

For example, if a position is vacant, there must be many people coveting this position, and relevant officials will hold a meeting to nominate candidates.

After the deduction results come out, the Ministry of Officials will report the results to the cabinet for the emperor's approval, and then issue an imperial edict, which will be sent to the Ministry of Officials through the Cabinet, and the Ministry of Officials will then appoint them.

This is the promotion of ordinary officials.

But if you want to elect cabinet members and other high-ranking officials, you have to go through the court election, and those who participate in the court election are the Nine Ministers, Six Divisions and Thirteen Departments.

All the six subjects will participate in the matter. At this time, they have great power. Once someone offends the matter, these people are originally eloquent and eloquent.
Therefore, many court officials basically dare not offend Shizhong.

In addition, all official documents of the imperial court must be inspected during the event, and they have the function of public opinion supervision and voice.

Even if it is the emperor's order, he still has the right to refute it in writing.

When Emperor Xiaozong said that he wanted Jingcha, when he heard that the Sixth Division was involved in the matter, he formed a group to defend against Jingcha.

Now Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao proposed Jingcha again, and he was also very active in the matter, writing letters one after another, among which Mao Yu was the most active one.

This 18-year Hongzhi Jinshi is articulate, eloquent, and his language is like a knife, killing without blood!

Jiao Fang was impeached by this man back then and returned to her hometown.

"It's Mr. Mao from the Ministry of Officials! I suspect that he personally participated in the murder of the concubine!"

Yan Song said sternly.
