Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 498 Jin Zhong enters Beijing
Less than an hour after Zhao Hu and Liu Sheng entered the palace, Yu Xin, the minister of household affairs, hurriedly entered the palace.

After saluting Zhu Di, we went straight to the topic!
silver!

Jinyiwei confiscated money from homes in Anxin, Fujian and Yunnan.

Zhu Di teased Yu Xin severely, but Yu Xin treated him with a smile the whole time.

Seeing this, although Zhu Di felt a little unwilling, it happened that the year-end bonuses of Baiguan had not yet been received. Zhu Di was still able to accept these silver coins as year-end bonuses!
Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials in the court were filled with joy, as it was soon time to issue year-end bonuses again.

Only some southern officials were happy and sad, and even a little worried!
These did not affect Guo An.

Until a few days later.

Jin Zhong, Shang Kezhou and other promoted officials from Yan State disembarked from the capital pier and followed Jian Yi into the palace to pay homage to Zhu Di.

"Jin Zhong and Shang Kezhou are here?"

After hearing Xu Yong's report, Guo An was overjoyed.

Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Jin Zhong and Shang Kezhou for nearly a year.

In this age without the Internet, as long as we are hundreds of kilometers apart, we are worlds apart.

If nothing happens, the people we are close to will not be able to see each other for a year. Even if one of the parties gets sick and dies, if the news is known, it will be more than ten days later, unless the news can be conveyed through the inn.

However, if they want to pass the news through the inn, Jin Zhong, Shang Kezhou and others, although they can be regarded as feudal officials, are only a vassal state and do not have that right.

Speaking of which, a future high-ranking minister of the Ministry of War was sent to Yan State by him and stayed there for several years. Guo An felt a little guilty when he thought about it.

Now, it would be nice to come back.

The next day, noon.

Guo An was lying on a soft chair to rest, and the housekeeper Guo Ang also walked in cautiously, with a eunuch behind him.

"Master Marquis, someone is coming to the palace!"

Seeing Guo An, the eunuch said directly: "Master Marquis, Your Majesty summons you to the palace!"

"Enter the palace?"

Guo An's eyes lit up and he ordered Xu Yong beside him: "Prepare the car and enter the palace!"

"Follow the order!"

Xu Yong also guessed the reason, responded, and hurried out, greeted his soldiers, and began to prepare the car.

After half an hour.

Guo An then came to Fengtian Hall.

In the hall, ten officials including Bao Zhao, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Jian Yi, the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel, Jin Zhong and Shang Ke Tuesday were all present.

Duke Guo An saluted respectfully, "I have met your Majesty, and I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Guo Qing, hurry up and get rid of the courtesy!"

Zhu Di's face lit up with joy, and then he told Yishiha on the side: "Hurry up and give Guo Qing a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Guo Anxin sat down calmly.

The eyelids of Bao Zhao and Jian Yi twitched when they saw it. His Highness the Crown Prince didn't even have a seat. How could you, a mere Marquis of Dinghai, or the Crown Prince and Grand Master, be able to sit down and feel at ease?

However, Jin Zhong, Shang Kezhou and others on one side were full of joy. Guo Changshi was so favored when he was in Prince Yan's Mansion in Peking. Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, Your Highness should be even more so!
Zhu Di said again: "Today, we summoned you to discuss the whereabouts of Shizhong, Shang Kezhou and others?"

Hearing this, Bao Zhao and Jian Yi couldn't help but stiffen their expressions. The two of them were a dignified Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, a Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and beside them there was a deputy emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

Your Majesty, you don't want to discuss it, but you have to go all the way to summon the Marquis of Dinghai who is idle at home?

Do you distrust them that much?

Or do you think Dinghaihou is more professional than them in appointing officials?
Fortunately, Guo An had not lost his mind yet and asked Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Personnel to promote officials and appoint them to their places. How dare a humble minister dare to cross his robe and replace his ancestors!"

Bao Zhao and Jian Yi looked a little calmer. The Marquis of Dinghai still knew the rules of officialdom.

Zhu Di frowned slightly and waved his hand impatiently.

"Okay, you are getting tired, and the officials are not familiar with Shizhong and Shang Kezhou. What suggestions can they make?
Nowadays, officials in the Ming Dynasty are becoming more and more harmonious. They sit in official positions and only want corruption and promotion. They don't know how to do things for the people. We want them to go to the most suitable yamen for them! "

Bao Zhao: "..." Jian Yi: "..."

Although it makes sense, why does it sound so uncomfortable?

Guo An slightly cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is easy. Your Majesty can just ask Shi Yu, Shang Ke Zhou and others to recommend themselves!"

"Ok?"

Zhu Di's eyes lit up.

Guo An chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, they chose the yamen themselves. If they do anything that dissatisfies Your Majesty, Your Majesty will slap them!"

Jin Zhong: "..."

Shang Kezhou and others: "..."

Zhu Di had already looked at Jin Zhong and others, "Shi Zhong, Ke Zhou, can you guys recommend anything?"

Jin Zhong pondered for a moment and then said respectfully: "Your Majesty, although Weichen was a minister of the Ministry of Personnel when he was in the Yan Kingdom, Weichen has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child, and he also led troops to quell chaos when he was in the Yan Kingdom.

Therefore, Wei Chen is willing to go to the Ministry of War, or to Yunnan and Fujian..."

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Well, then you go to the Ministry of War!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jin Zhong looked happy.

Zhu Di looked at Bao Zhao aside.

This made Bao Zhao feel happy. His Majesty finally remembered him, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

"Bao Qing's family, are there any vacant positions in the Ministry of War?"

Bao Zhao's face froze again, his mouth twitched slightly, but he still cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of War currently only has a vacancy for the Military Select Cleaner Division!"

"Only a fifth-rank official from the Wu Xuan Qing Li Si Lang Zhong?"

Zhu Di frowned slightly.

However, Jin Zhongze below was already beaming with joy.

The Military Selection and Clearing Division of the Ministry of War is responsible for examining the grade, selection, promotion, merit and reward of military attachés. It also examines the dangers of various places, establishes camps and floods, etc. It is also a capital official.

As an officer in the Ministry of War, he also has responsibilities as a civil servant. For him, professionalism is the most suitable.

Moreover, when he was in Beiping Prefecture, he was just an official. Finally, he jumped to the Yan Kingdom of Goryeo, became the prefect, and then became the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel of the Yan Kingdom.

However, that was just an official of the vassal state who was not recognized by the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

And now, this is a serious fifth-rank official of the Ming Dynasty, and he still holds real power!

This was something he never dared to think about before!

Zhu Di asked: "Shizhong, what do you think?"

Jin Zhong said respectfully: "I will let your majesty arrange it for me!"

If so, then you are willing to go!

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Then go to the Wu Xuan Cleaning Department!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jin Zhong was immediately overjoyed.

Zhu Di turned his head again and looked at Shang Kezhou, Chang Guoting and others aside, "Ke Zhou and Chang Guoting, where do you want to go?"

At this moment, Shang Kezhou and Chang Guoting officials were full of excitement.

Since Jin Zhongke joined the Ministry of War as a doctor, they must not be far behind.

Shang Kezhou quickly handed over his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen was formerly the Hu Bu in Yan State. In order to live up to His Majesty's great hope, Wei Chen is willing to go to the Hu Bu!"
