There are still three days before the New Year, and the work of the Ministry of Officials is getting more and more busy.

Regarding the fluctuation of official positions of hundreds of officials in the imperial court, at this time, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has to come up with a charter.

This is also the busiest time for the official department and the most income.

If the Ministry of Households is the purse of the regent, then the Ministry of Officials is the tool used by Yu Wenji to collect money.

Buying and selling official positions has become a very common thing. As long as the money is in place, there is nothing you can't do.

Of course, this process has to be done step by step, and there is an upper limit to the grade.

Although Yuwen searched the world and raised himself alone, he didn't intend to let Daliang's country collapse just like that.

Cai Quan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, made a list of officials' promotions based on the merits of each official and the amount of silver paid.

In this list, Liu Qing's name was suddenly written, and the content was to promote him from a clerk of the Ministry of Officials to the head of the Ministry of Officials.

In order to achieve this step, Mr. Yan spent a full 10 taels of snowflake silver.

Otherwise, with Liu Qing's ability, it would be impossible to be the head of the official department so quickly.

After drawing up the list of promotions, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials handed over the list to Liu Qing.

"You send someone to send this thing to the palace and hand it over to His Royal Highness the Regent for review."

"Yes, this subordinate will do it."

With the brochure in his arms, Liu Qingjiang strode away from the official department.

Sitting in the carriage, Liu Qing took out the booklet that needed to be turned in and looked at it, and quickly found her name in it.

After seeing the amount reported by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Liu Qing sneered as expected.

Mr. Yan spent 10 taels for him, but now the amount reported by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is only 5 taels.

If Yu Wenji knew about this, wouldn't he be beheaded?Your dog actually steals from his own house.

But Liu Qing knew that he couldn't do this, and he had to hold this handle firmly in his hands. This was an important handle for Zhao Shun to blackmail the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

The next day.

After going to court too early normally, Yu Wenji made a final decision on the promotion of officials in the court.

However, today's highlight is not this, but to pick out a candidate for the cabinet from more than a dozen big bosses.

It is a kind of supreme honor to seal the border and join the cabinet, and it also means to come to the very center of power.

In some important matters of the family and the country, the regent is not arbitrary.

Many matters that cannot be decided will be discussed with the ten most senior cabinet elders.

Therefore, in order to stand on the lifeline of the country, many people squeezed their heads and drilled into it.

Today, Gu Hanlin is full of ambition, and he is bound to win the position of elder.

In fact, for the regent, these old things are the same no matter who joins the cabinet.

Otherwise, he would not have handed over the right to vote to the officials.

As long as obedient dogs are good dogs, disobedient dogs should be killed. There is never a shortage of candidates for the cabinet.

Under the instruction of the regent, the inner eunuch held a large red box and placed it in the center of the court hall.

"My lords, you can write down the candidates in your mind on the wooden board and put them in the box, and then our family will count them one by one." An old eunuch said in a slender voice.

Zhao Shun's eyes were half-closed. It turned out that this vote was still a secret ballot. He wanted to see Gu Hanlin's expression after he voted for someone else?
As a result, the fun is gone now.

Zhao Shun wrote Jiang Bieyu's name on the wooden board and put it in the wooden box.

Gu Hanlin, who didn't know the truth, looked at Zhao Shun with a smile and nodded to him.

Zhao Shun returned a meaningful smile and nodded to him.

The two had different thoughts, Zhao Shun was thinking about how Gu Hanlin was beating his chest and stamping his feet for a while.

What Gu Hanlin thought about was how he would teach Zhao Shun a thorn in his side after he became the elder of the pavilion.

After counting for less than half an hour, all the officials wrote down the candidates they identified on wooden boards and put them into wooden boxes.

Afterwards, the eunuch took out the board and started counting in front of everyone.

"Gu Hanlin, Mr. Gu has one vote!"

"Master Zhou, a scholar of the Wenyuan Pavilion, has one vote!"

"Master Hu, a scholar of the Wuyingdian University, has one vote",

"Gu Hanlin, Mr. Gu, two votes!"

"Three votes for Mr. Gu Hanlin Gu!"

As the eunuchs shouted, Gu Hanlin got more and more votes, and there was a tendency to win the top spot.

"Gu Hanlin, Mr. Gu, four votes!"

"Three votes for Mr. Zhou, a scholar of the Wenyuan Pavilion!"

With more than half of the votes, Gu Hanlin got ten votes, and Mr. Zhou, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, also got ten votes.

Among the more than a dozen candidates that have appeared so far, only the Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and Gu Hanlin are fighting against the court.

In the second half of the chanting, Gu Hanlin found that the number of votes for the Wenyuange University Scholars was similar to his, and he couldn't help feeling nervous.

Hubu Shangshu looked through the crowd and landed on Zhao Shun's face.

Seeing that his face did not change, Meng Jin laughed. I heard that this kid definitely has a back hand.

When the number of votes was counted to the last vote, excluding some uncompetitive people, the number of votes for Wenyuange University Bachelor and Gu Hanlin both reached [-] votes.

At this time, Mr. Zhou, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, showed a suspicious expression on his face.

According to his statistics, there are a total of 29 people who clearly stated that they would support him. Where did the extra vote come from?

At the same time, Gu Hanlin's expression turned ugly. He had wooed 32 people in total, and even counting the last vote, he was still missing one vote.

Someone actually took his money and did nothing.

At this moment, Gu Hanlin's confidence in winning was faintly disturbed, and he looked nervously at the last piece of wood in the eunuch's hand.

Shouldn't there be a problem?

"The last vote for Wenyuange University is Mr. Zhou."

As soon as the eunuch's words fell, Gu Hanlin felt as if his soul had been sucked out of him, and his breath quickly became sluggish.

"This is impossible, this is impossible, who is who?"

Gu Hanlin's pale hair and beard trembled faintly, his hair was already gray, and he might leave the court someday.

Over the years, he has survived countless elders, but now he has missed the best opportunity.

If you continue like this, you will be boiled away.

Yu Wenji didn't care about the result, he said casually: "From now on, Master Zhou will join Wenyuan Pavilion University."

"My lord, thank you Regent!"

The great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion paid respects to Yu Wenji, but turned a blind eye to such a little emperor.

At this moment, Gu Hanlin couldn't calm down, and his eyes kept looking for those who supported him in the crowd.

Until his eyes fell on Zhao Shun, Gu Hanlin saw Zhao Shun smile ironically at him.

It was him, it had to be him, the little bastard!
Gu Hanlin was angry from the heart, and the evil grew out of his guts. He secretly vowed in his heart that he must find a way to kill him after he left the court today.

Today, the two major events in the court have been completed, and Yu Wenji was about to ask all the officials if there was a performance, when a young eunuch hurried in.

"His Royal Highness, there is a commotion outside the gate of the palace."
