If you don’t enter the Ministry of Personnel, you don’t know how big the Ministry of Personnel is. The Qing Lishu Department, which is the only one who is in charge of examining civil servants and selecting and replacing civil servants, has the department of seeking talents, opening departments, promotion departments, bookkeeping rooms, writing and posting departments, missing departments, statutory departments, statutory departments, commissioning departments, commissioning departments, large donations, single and even monthly elections, gentry, repairing and sending, etc.

Director Zhang had already helped to get things done, and there was no need to ask people everywhere like a headless fly. He found a pen and handed it over the seals he had prepared early, stuffed a ingot of silver, and waited for about two sticks of incense at the door of a public room. The pen and the pen came out of it and gave a official account with the ink traces that had not dried.

Han Xiufeng was worried that the clerks inside had made the mistakes, so he carefully looked at it, and then dried the ink marks after confirming that they were correct. He carefully folded and stuffed them into the envelopes he had prepared early.

Walking out of the Ministry of Personnel, Director Zhang asked with a smile: "Zhixing, you can rest assured now."

"Don't worry." Han Xiufeng grinned, and said embarrassedly: "I just didn't expect it to be so smooth. I don't need to lead the Ministry of Personnel to guide me, nor do I need to go to the Ministry of Rites to receive the seal."

"The Hai'an Inspection Department is not a new one. The original seal has not been lost, so naturally there is no need to be cast, and there is no need to be recast. Since there is no need to be cast, what seal should you go to the Ministry of Personnel to receive?" Director Zhang looked back at him and smiled while walking, "If it is distributed to other provinces, can you be the real person to take office smoothly. Fortunately, you are going to Jiangsu. The governor of Liangjiang is responsible for a lot of things every day. If you don't care about the ninth-rank sesame sesame in Shanghai, the governor of the Shanghai Inspection Department, Jiangning can make the decision. Jiangning Governor Qi happens to be the same year as Lord Duan. If he doesn't look at monks and Buddha's faces, he will definitely not make things difficult for you."

Before Han Xiufeng could speak, Pan Er suddenly broke out: "Director Zhang, even if Lord Qi can't be the master, my young master is not afraid!"

"Why aren't you afraid?" Director Zhang asked curiously.

"We have people in the Governor's Office in Liangjiang!"

"Someone?"

"Well, there are really people." Pan Er turned around and looked at Yu Youfu, and smiled proudly: "My young master has a friend whom he doesn't know without fighting. He happened to be in Jiangning, and he was the governor. "

"Yixing, is it true or false?" Director Zhang was skeptical.

"I do have a friend in Jiangning, and that friend is indeed a friend of the Governor Lu of Liangjiang, but he has not been to Jiangning for a long time. I don't know if he can talk to Lord Lu." Thinking of Zhou Xingyuan who was dismissed from office and never talked about it, Han Xiufeng sighed inwardly that he met everywhere in life.

"As the saying goes, brothers are relying on friends when they go out. Since you have friends in the Liangjiang Governor's Office, I don't have to worry about you." Director Zhang smiled slightly, thought about it and asked again, "By the way, are you planning to go to Jiangning with Lord Guo?"

"Mr. Guo mentioned it, I think so too. Director Zhang, why do you ask this? Is it inappropriate to go to Jiangning with Lord Guo?"

"It's a good thing that Lord Guo is willing to bring you with me, there's nothing wrong with it. But Lord Guo can't move for a while. If you plan to go to Jiangning with Lord Guo, you have to wait in the capital for a few more days."

"Why can't you move? Lord Guo told me that he plans to set off the road after tomorrow."

"When Lord Guo said this to you, I didn't know that there was a big happy event in the palace."

"What kind of happy event?" Han Xiufeng asked in confusion.

Director Zhang smiled and explained: "I just heard yesterday that the emperor wanted to appoint the imperial concubine Niu Hulu as the queen. Even the chief envoy and deputy envoy who held the ceremonies and treasures were appointed by him. The chief envoy was the Grand Secretary Yucheng and the deputy envoy was the Minister of Rites Yixiang. I guess the grand ceremony of the canonization was held in the past few days. When the canonization was envoyed, all the princes and civil and military ministers in Beijing would go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to celebrate the ceremony."

"So, Lord Duan will not be able to go to Gansu for a while?"

"This is natural." Director Zhang stopped and sighed: "Niuhulu is a native of the Yellow Banner Banner. He entered the palace in February this year. He was named Zhenpin by the emperor in April and Guifei in May. After only a few months, he was appointed as the queen. It shows how much the emperor favors her. Who dares not to give a celebration gift in the princes and ministers in Beijing?"

"That promotion speed is fast enough to think about it."

"Yes, as far as I know, there are so many queens from Shunzhi to Daoguang dynasty, no faster than Niuhulu."

Pan Er couldn't help but ask: "Director Zhang, the empress's mother is in the world. How old is our queen this year?"

"I don't know this, but I only entered the palace in February this year, so I shouldn't be very old."

"I guess it's only fifteen or sixteen years old." Han Xiufeng's thoughts were too far away, so he changed his subject: "Director Zhang, I suddenly felt that it was not appropriate to go to Jiangning with Lord Guo. First, I don't want to wait. Second, on the way to Lord Guo's journey to Jiangning, the officials along the way are inevitably welcomed and sent off. I am neither Lord Guo's family nor Lord Guo's subordinates. What's the avatar behind me?"

Director Zhang pondered for a moment and looked up and said, "Master Guo is very loyal. Just like you said, I don't know how many officials want to curry favor with him along the way. Even if you don't want to curry favor with him, you have to invite Master Guo to drink and watch the show. After the invitation, you have to send a letter to Cheng Yi. You can eat all the way and collect money all the way. It's really not convenient for you to follow me."

"Then I'll go to Lord Guo's mansion later and say something to Lord Guo."

"It's okay to leave first, when will you set off?"

"Let's go the day after tomorrow, let's leave early the morning after tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go to the mansion to see you off the morning after tomorrow."

...

When he returned to the guild hall, Duan Dazhang, who was summoned by the emperor early this morning, just came back and was sitting in the flower hall drinking tea while reading the newspaper.

Han Xiufeng hurriedly took out his official credential from his arms and stepped forward to report on the election.

Duan Dazhang took the official position and looked at it. While greeting him, he smiled and said, "I have chosen a serious court official. Before coming to Beijing, you were in the county government office, the government office and the road bureau for so many years. After coming to Beijing, you have been in the chief guild for another year. You should understand the rules in the officialdom, so I won't tell you what the way to be an official."

"Mr. Duan, I..."

"We are all fellow villagers, not outsiders." Duan Dazhang put down his official position and pointed to the official report on the coffee table and sighed: "You have been in the capital for nearly a year. You have read a lot of official reports. You know a lot of major and small things in the world. Now, there are really external troubles and internal disasters, and natural disasters and man-made disasters. This official is becoming more and more difficult to do. If you ask for any teachings, I only have two sentences. This official can do it, and if you can't continue, you will return to your hometown early."

Thinking of an elderly man at home to support him and a wife and children waiting for him, Han Xiufeng felt sad and hurriedly got up and bowed deeply: "Xiufeng is sure to follow the teachings of Lord Duan."

Duan Dazhang nodded slightly, thought about it and asked again: "When will you plan to set off?"

"Mr. Duan, I don't plan to wait for Mr. Guo..."

Han Xiufeng quickly told his previous concerns truthfully. Duan Dazhang couldn't help but smile and said, "Your concerns are not unreasonable. Since you have decided to set off early the morning after tomorrow, hurry up and prepare."
