Lin Qingran knew that his career was to overcome all obstacles. It was impossible for no one to offend, and it was even more impossible for everyone to curry favor with him. Therefore, he did not care about the hostility shown by Qin Minglei at all.

Not to mention that his left assistant minister's status is higher than that of the other party, and the two have a clear division of labor in the Ministry of Rites and there are no checks and balances in specific matters, so they simply ignore the right assistant minister who has picked up the top scholar.

Due to the gap between status, this welcoming banquet seemed very restrained. Except for the courage in the dragon pool, everyone toasted properly or said compliments like Ho Bin.

After taking office and dividing the work, life seems to suddenly enter daily work and life.

Although Lin Xuran was promoted very quickly, he had made a solid journey. From the prefect of Leizhou, the prefect of Guangzhou, the prefect of Shuntian, he had already honed his ability to handle affairs and was able to handle affairs of the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites is actually a relatively leisurely yamen. There are not many affairs of the ritual system and the host and guest clean officials. The Huitongguan and the Seal Bureau have no problems for the time being.

The next morning, he came to Xiyuan Gate again in a sedan chair.

This time, he did not want to meet the saint and thank him, but came to pay special attention to the prime minister of the dynasty.

The cabinet was originally the secretary of the emperor, and the rank of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet was only the fifth rank. The six officials reported to the emperor, and when the emperor encountered something he didn't understand, he would ask the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.

It is just that it is impossible for every emperor to be able to stand alone like Zhu Yuanzhang. However, the emperor is increasingly dependent on the cabinet Grand Secretary when handling these big and small affairs.

In the end, the emperor simply asked the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet to handle the memorial directly, and wrote good opinions on the memorial in a small note before submitting it. This is the origin of the system of vote planning.

As this system of votes matures, the status of the cabinet's Grand Secretary becomes more and more important, and it is already above the six ministries. Especially when the emperor is in a state of negligence, the emperor will naturally not carefully review the opinions of the votes one by one, so the chief minister will be the first to be the assistant.

The vote is almost equivalent to an imperial edict.

When he arrived in this dynasty, Jiajing had been suspended for more than 20 years and was addicted to practicing Taoism all day long. Even if Lord Shangshu wanted to see the emperor, it would be difficult, let alone guess the emperor's thoughts.

It is precisely because many officials first consult the cabinet's opinions in their memorials, and then formally submit memorials, which has made the cabinet now become the veritable head of all officials.

Lin Qingran is now the Left Minister of Rites. He is going to visit the two big bosses of the cabinet for both reason and clarification of the subordinate relationship between the two parties and maintaining superficial harmony with Xu Jie.

In Wuyi Palace, sandalwood rose up in the room.

"Secretary of the Lord Yuanfu!"

Lin Qingran entered the duty room and looked respectful and respectful.

Xu Jie was wearing a luxurious python robe, and looked very kind between his eyebrows and eyes. He looked very energetic. When he looked up and saw Lin Weiran coming in from outside, he raised his hand like a spring breeze and said, "Ruoyu, you are here, please hurry up and please

sit!"

"Mr. Xie Yuanfu!" Lin Weiran gave another gift and sat down on the empty chair in front of the table.

Unlike Yan Song who likes to follow Jiajing's cross-legged work before the case, Xu Jie insisted on sitting at the desk and writing a memorial. But he didn't know whether he was disdainful or did not find that this move seemed unfaithful enough, or that it was something else.

reason.

However, on the wall behind Xu Jie, the word "Return to the Lord with his power and blessings, return to the government affairs, and return to the public with the use of punishment and rewards" was still hanging high, demonstrating his unique appearance and "

"Yan Song's difference.

Xu Jie asked his confidant to send tea, looking at Lin Qingran with great appreciation, "You went south to rectify the salt administration, not only severely cracked down on those private salt thieves, but also solved the salt ills that had accumulated for many years. The emperor was very concerned about this.

For joy!”

"The success of the salt administration this time is also due to the strong support of Lord Yuan Fu, otherwise many of the work would not be carried out, let alone the implementation of the salt law smoothly!" Lin Weiran has never been arrogant.

Even he complimented Xu Jie.

Although Xu Jie knew that the rectification of the Salt Administration had little to do with him, he felt very comfortable.

With Lin Junran's words, he may have made a contribution in later history books. After all, these things were completed during his tenure as prime minister. Compared with those economic losses, they seem to have become less important.

It's right.

Xu Jie looked at Lin Qingran gently and asked with concern: "Ruoyu, you just joined the Ministry of Rites, have you encountered any difficulties?"

Lin Weiran picked up the teacup on the table and immediately smelled a refreshing fragrance. He knew that no matter how bad the tea in the cabinet was, it was impossible for ordinary people to touch. He responded seriously: "There is one, so this time I specially

Come and ask Lord Yuan Fu!"

Xu Jie said "uh", but he didn't know if Lin Xuran was looking for an excuse for this visit or if there was something really tricky, so he looked very interested.

The confidant was adding a few pieces of silver charcoal to the brazier. When he heard Lin Xuran's words, he looked up at Lin Xuran with interest, wondering what difficulties Lin Xuran had encountered.

"The Xiaguan was responsible for the opening of the maritime affairs in Guangdong, and once visited the vassal states such as Luzon, Nanyang. Many monarchs and chiefs of the vassal states learned that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and expressed a strong desire for pilgrimage, but they were suffering from the loss of investigation.

At that time, the officials were just the deputy envoy of Guangdong's submission of the sea route, so they dared not agree, but they always kept this matter in mind! The Ming Dynasty and Nanyang traded frequently. If they could come to meet the saint at this time, then

But I will strengthen my tomorrow's power, and secondly, it will be beneficial to the trade between this dynasty and the Nanyang vassal states. I wonder what Lord Yuanfu thinks?" Lin Weiran explained the reason for the matter, and he asked with a sincere face.

Xu Jie took a deep breath, then looked at Lin Qingran deeply. Although he had always known that this kid would definitely not be at peace when he returned to Beijing, he never expected that he would meet for the first time.

Just now, he just took office and directly brought up such a big thing.

He did not respond immediately, but picked up the teacup on the table and his mind quickly started to work. The reason why the Nanyang vassal king wanted to meet the Emperor Shengming was naturally not serious, but he didn't know that Lin Weiran asked the Nanyang vassal king to pay tribute.

What's the idea?

But he had to admit that this kid was too hard to deal with, far more difficult than Wu Shan. Maybe there was some conspiracy and tricks in it, and he had to be wary of this kid's secret moves all the time.
Chapter completed!
