Idle courtiers

Chapter 306
"What?" Zhou Nan couldn't help shouting angrily.

Xu Jie looked at Zou Yinglong and asked, "What does Qing Yun mean by that?"

It was about his own future, Zhou Nan listened intently.

Zou Yinglong turned his head and looked at Zhou Nan with piercing eyes, and said eagerly: "Zimu, I heard that you won the first place in the Shuntian Mansion's additional examination, and you are very sure of success as a scholar, even the Jinshi Division. Naturally, I will continue to be your teacher in the future." Pedestrians, and then the six divisions, the official censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then the head of the six divisions, Yuanwailang, what a bright future. How can he be willing to degenerate and go to the Department of General Affairs for experience? Once he leaves the Department of Pedestrians, he may not be able to return in the future I’m gone, I’m so sad.”

Speaking of this, Mr. Zou was heartbroken.

He still didn't say a word. After entering the Sixth Ministry as the head and Yuanwailang, the next step is to consider becoming a local governor, and there is hope for a senior official at the ministry level in his lifetime.Of course, if you do well in the Jinshi examination and order the Hanlin, you are rushing to become the prime minister.

This is the political path that disciples of the Xu family should take. In his heart, Zou Yinglong already regards Zhou Nan as a core figure in the Xu Party just like himself.

Zhou Nan is determined to achieve a seventh-rank experience, and seeing his posture, he doesn't even want to take the imperial examination. He is a bastard if he degenerates like this!

This behavior is like a central government official in modern society, who should stay in the ministry to gain qualifications, accumulate contacts, and exercise work ability.But parachuted to a place to be a district or county head, just for the sake of being in power?

Isn't that a joke?

Zhou Nan could understand Zou Yinglong's thoughts, but the problem was that the imperial examination was too much for him.The senior official Lao Zhou naturally wanted to do it, but he could also consider his own quality.If he can become an official with a miscellaneous status, he will be satisfied if he can be a fourth-rank magistrate in this life.As for governors and ministers, come on, I don't have the skills.

Zhou Nan smiled: "Thanks to Yunqing for teaching me, I..." was about to say a few words of humility, and then determined to do that experience.

Suddenly, Xu Jie said: "Yunqing's words are reasonable, but the old man didn't think carefully, so Zimu's future is pregnant. After this matter is over, let Zimu temporarily go to your Senate and Judgment Office of the General Secretary to be an acting governor. The two of you should check out Yan Song's financial resources."

Finally, he said: "Zimu, there are still half a year until the provincial examination, and then the general examination, take the exam hard."

Yes, Zhou Nan was just a small person in the past, and his character was not very good, so he really couldn't catch Xu Ge's eyes.

In Xu Jie's mind, Zhou Nan is just a pawn, not even qualified to be his disciple.Sending Zhou Nan to the Weapons Bureau was just an idle move.It's good to be able to play a role, and he has nothing to lose if it doesn't work.

Unexpectedly, since Zhou Nan's leisurely move played a role, not only did he get the letter of denunciation from the Li family and his son, but he also gave Lan Dao Xingjin a second plan to get close to the emperor.

That's right, his character is not very good at the moment, but he is a useful and resourceful person.Among the disciples of the nerdy Xu family, they are simply an outlier, and what Xu Jie needs most now is this kind of ability to do things.That's right, reading can be an official.But the words of the sage are just words, if you really want to go farewell in the officialdom, you can only be a useless scholar.

Besides, Zhou Nan's poems are excellent, and he won the first place in the Shuntian Mansion's additional examination, and his reputation among scholars has already risen.If you focus on training, you will become a leader in the literary world like Wang Shizhen in the future.

Yan Song is actually mediocre, but he gave birth to a good son.Lao Yan has a mastermind like Yan Donglou, and the old man can also use Zhou Zimu.

If you want to train Zhou Nan to be your right-hand man, you must first make him a Jinshi, and then follow Yun Qing's words to use the shortcut of the Xingsi to be promoted all the way.Otherwise, Zhou Zimu can only be a low-level official for the rest of his life, and he can't enter the key departments of the central government because of lack of fame. It's a pity for this talent.

"Enxiang, enenen..." Zhou Nan was dumbfounded, how could he become the interim governor in the blink of an eye after the agreed seventh-rank experience.Heaven and earth, what I used to do in Huai'an Mansion was the main job, and now I have turned around and started doing this again.

Self-defeating four words can just sum up his mood at the moment.

In the real history, Xu Jie was the one who sent Lan Daoxing to the side of Emperor Jiajing to overthrow Yan Song.Lan Daoren is also a character, and he won the emperor's great trust as soon as he entered the palace.It was also because he impeached Yan Song by the emperor's side day and night, and even presented a picture book, which made Jiajing finally eradicate the Yan party.

Zhou Nan also became addicted to this wise man and Gao Shen today, and came up with such an idea.

In this way, he was completely taken by Xu Jie and regarded as his confidant.

This is, lifting a rock and shooting yourself in the foot.

Life is like a strong woman, since you can't resist, then enjoy it.

Zhou Nan gave a few times of kindness, and finally said kindly, "Thank you, Mr. Ge, this time I go to the Department of General Affairs, and I will definitely live up to my benefactor's expectations."

Coming out of Xu Xiang's mansion, Zhou Nan looked back at the Xu family's outrageously large courtyard, feeling a little melancholy in her heart, wondering what happened to Ah Jiu now?

With Jiu Gongzi's fiery temper, he also went to imitate female celebrities. Thinking about it, he felt funny and uncomfortable for her.

"Where is Zimu going now?" Zou Yinglong asked beside him.

Zhou Nan replied angrily: "Of course I'm going home, and I'll take a rest today. It is estimated that the appointment document to go to the Department of General Administration will be sent to the Department of Pedestrians tomorrow, and I will go there until the day after tomorrow. Farewell, farewell!"

"It's still early, I'm boiling inside, and my heart is turbulent. Don't sit in a sedan chair anymore, you and I can walk back in a car." As he spoke, he let out a low whistle: "Clarify Yuyu, and return to the Ming Dynasty. It is my generation's wish! I am lucky to be able to advocate for justice with you."

Seeing his strong and fierce appearance, Zhou Nan vomited blood in his heart: Zou Yinglong, Zou Yinglong, did I miss you or owe you in my last life, you always ruined my good deeds.Met you, Lao Zhou, my three lives are unlucky.

In this way, Zhou Nan, a pedestrian from the Pedestrian Department of the Ming Dynasty, was seconded again to serve as the interim governor of the Department of General Affairs in the spirit of revolutionary comrades who resolutely obeyed the organizational arrangements and made great achievements in the vast world.The salary and salary did not get a penny more, but the workload went up to a higher level.

The Secretary of the General Administration is in charge of the internal and external memorials and the sealed petitions of the subjects, commonly known as the Yintai.In other words, when all the memorials were finally handed over to the emperor, they had to go through this institution first.If there is any non-compliance with the inspection in the department, the cabinet will be called to participate; if the title is overdue, it will be handed over to the relevant department for discussion.

In terms of its functions, it is equivalent to the external supervision of the office secretarial organization of later generations.

Especially after Hongzhi, the power has been continuously weakened, and it has become an excessive promotion of officials to mixed ranks, which is not very interesting.

If the secretary doesn't want to take care of things, it's just a situation from the top, and the bottom is from the top.Communicate up and down, contact the left and right reception rooms.

But if the general government wants to make a difference, it is also very terrible to perform the responsibility of the prosecutor.

In fact, the boundaries of responsibilities of many central yamen in the country and dynasty are actually blurred in some places, and there are many overlaps, which also conform to the principle of mutual supervision and mutual involvement.

For example, the disciplinary inspection department in later generations is divided into two parts: the party and the procuratorate. When encountering a case of corruption of ink, everyone can handle it.It's just that one is following party discipline, and the other is following legal procedures.

Another example is that when later generations inspect the quality of goods, the 12315 of the industry and commerce can intervene, and the Quality Supervision Bureau can also intervene.

Each performs its duties and cooperates with each other, but it is also perfect.

Zhou Nan was transferred to such a Qingshui yamen, and it was also a temporary substitute, and he felt a little disappointed in his heart.

But after arriving at the place, I tasted some flavors and found the fun in it.
