In the lobby of the government office, green smoke rose from the incense burner that received the order.

"Lin Haoran, the prefect of Guangzhou and deputy envoy of Guangdong Sea Patrol, accepted the order, long live my emperor!"

Lin Haoran, who was wearing a crimson official robe, saluted respectfully, and at the same time, he also had speculations about his whereabouts.

But he didn't have a clue. Although he was inclined to return to the capital to take up an official position of the fourth rank, even a casual position such as Youtongzheng, he could accept it if he was transferred to another province to serve as the inspector of the third rank.

Eunuch Chen slowly unfolded Ming Huang's imperial edict, but he paused intentionally, coughed slightly, and looked at the officials kneeling in the courtyard with a smile.

The appetites of the officials were greatly aroused. At this time, they felt that Eunuch Chen was deliberately delaying and really wanted to castrate this dead eunuch again.

However, more people still speculate whether Lin Haoran will return to Beijing or serve as an inspector in another province.

Although the official title of the latter is higher, the former is a better result. For example, Ding Yizhong, the governor of Shandong, was only appointed as the fourth-rank official of the Du Inspectorate and the right-hand censor of the capital, but this fourth-rank official was superior to the chief of the third division of Shandong.

above.

Eunuch Chen slowly withdrew his gaze, no longer pretending, and read loudly: "The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, and the edict says: Lin Haoran, the prefect of Guangzhou and the deputy envoy for patrolling the sea, has done meritorious service in governing the local area and safeguarded the peace of the sea... he is responsible for his duties and is a pioneer in government.

.To praise those who are virtuous and reward those who are talented, I have been specially transferred to the post of Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture. I appreciate this!"

The answer was officially revealed, and Lin Haoran was transferred back to the capital to serve as the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture.

Because Shuntian Mansion is located in the imperial capital, its status is higher than that of the provincial government. It is a third-rank official. The chief of the yamen is Shuntian Fu Yin, and the first assistant official is Shuntian Fu Cheng, which belongs to the fourth rank official position.

Everyone speculated about the second position among the nine ministers, but no one thought that it was the position of Shuntian Fu Cheng.

Fu Cheng? Shouldn’t it be Fu Yin?

Hiding behind the screen, Huniu frowned, knowing little about the official ranks, and muttered in confusion.

Ah! It’s actually Shuntian Fu Cheng?

When all the officials heard this appointment, their eyes sparkled with light.

The transfer from the prefect of Guangzhou and the highest coastal defense officer in Guangdong to the second-in-command position in Shuntian Prefecture will undoubtedly greatly weaken his power. In particular, Lin Haoran is still a big boss in Guangdong, but he is transferred to Shuntian Prefecture as an auxiliary officer. This will undoubtedly cause certain

Psychological gap.

It's just that they are like a bright mirror in their hearts, which is a good thing. Cabinet ministers are just official positions of the fifth rank, but countless ministers are trying to get in with their heads. Why is this?

The power of the Ming Dynasty is from top to bottom. The closer officials are to the emperor and the officials to the court, the more opportunities they have for promotion and the greater their power. If you don’t see it, when officials from other places come to the capital, they will have more control over the officials in the capital.

Do you want to perform the ice ceremony one by one?

Shuntian Prefecture is located in the capital. Although it does not belong to the central department, Lin Haoran has undoubtedly returned to the capital. The most important thing is that with Lin Haoran's age advantage, he will definitely be able to take over as the governor of Shuntian Prefecture after staying in the position of Fu Cheng for three to five years.

Location.

If he later gets the position of Minister of the Sixth Division, and then becomes the Minister of the Sixth Division. With his background, it is undoubtedly a logical thing to join the cabinet and become the prime minister, and his career will be bright.

As soon as they thought about it, the person in front of them was no longer an ordinary boss, but a big shot they would need to look up to in the future.

"I bow down to thank the Lord for His kindness. Long live my Emperor!"

Lin Haoran saluted and thanked him solemnly, but his heart was full of mixed feelings.

Although he had already guessed that such a day would come when he took over as the chief examiner of the Guangdong Provincial Examination. But now that he really had to leave and return to the capital, he felt a sense of reluctance in his heart.

However, he also knew in his heart that if he wanted to gain greater power and be able to hold the power of the Ming Dynasty in the future, he had to return to the capital, and the sooner the better.

Only when you return to the capital can you be considered on the real political stage and become a trendsetter of the times.

When the arrogant Eunuch Chen faced Lin Haoran, there was no trace of arrogance on his face. The stage of the civil service was in the capital, so the eunuchs were not the same, and they immediately showed their ingratiation.

Lin Haoran received the imperial edict and felt a little bit sad when he saw this somewhat unexpected appointment. After going around and around, he still had to serve in the "government office".

However, he knew in his heart that the Shuntian Mansion would definitely not be as easy as the Guangzhou Mansion, let alone the Leizhou Mansion that could cover the sky with one hand. Not to mention he was a small fourth-rank Shuntian Mansion Prime Minister.

In a capital where nobles and high-ranking officials are everywhere, one has to tuck his tail between his legs and become an official.

"Congratulations to the Lord on your promotion!"

"I wish you a bright future, Mr. Fu Zun!"

"Your resignation is not a blessing to millions of people in Guangzhou!"

…

Officials such as Tongzhi Murong Gang gathered around to congratulate him, but some also showed reluctance.=

Lin Haoran's actions since taking office have undoubtedly won the respect of most officials, but some officials are deeply worried about Lin Haoran's departure.

Of course, more officials are still happy for Lin Haoran.

This time Lin Haoran returns to the capital and will directly participate in the competition for power in the Ming Dynasty. I am afraid that in a few years, this master of the palace will become someone they can only look up to.

This is a relief for some officials who have been demoted or transferred to other places. Rising stars in officialdom like Lin Haoran have now returned to the political center, and they still want to cling to them tightly.

A thick thigh.

Lin Haoran kept a smile on his face, facing the officials, and his eyes slowly swept over everyone.

The officials standing in the courtyard suddenly became quiet, and they all looked at Lin Haoran, wanting to hear what he had to say. In addition, Lin Haoran had already been promoted. Even in the past, they had already been impressed by Lin Haoran, and they had always treated Lin Haoran.

Just obey.

"Everyone, when we study and serve as officials, we want nothing more than to 'establish a heart for the world, establish a destiny for the people, inherit the unique knowledge of the past saints, and create peace for all generations.' Today's peace in Guangzhou Prefecture is hard-won, and it will be for hundreds of thousands of people in Guangzhou in the future.

The well-being of all the people, I leave it to you here!"

Lin Haoran's eyes revealed sincerity, and he saluted with a very standard gesture.

All the officials felt flattered immediately. How could they bear such a courtesy from this big man who was destined to be a high-ranking figure in the future? However, none of the officials chose to avoid it.

They knew that this gift could not be avoided, so they returned the gift solemnly, taking over the heavy responsibility handed over by Lin Haoran and doing their part for the prosperity and prosperity of Guangzhou Prefecture.
