I am a temporary worker in Jinyiwei, how did I become a powerful official?

Chapter 141: End of the Bug Catching Record ( words, new volume "Cat Wedding Record" will be opened tomorrow)
Yan Shifan personally sent Lin Shisan to a clinic in the north of the city.

The doctor in the clinic was named Xu. He had been a doctor in the frontier army for many years and was an expert in treating injuries from falls, knives and arrows.

Mr. Xu first checked Lin Shisan's injuries, and then said, "Young Lord, his hip injury is not serious. It's just a flesh wound."

"I'll clean his wound and apply some medicine. He'll be fully recovered in ten days."

Yan Shifan leaned over and said to Lin Shisan, "You worked for my Yan family and got into this disaster. I will remember this favor and will repay you."

Lin Shisan said: "It's just a minor injury, it's nothing."

But in his heart he said: This is just a double act between Commander Lu and me. I'm sorry, young minister. I have handed over the handle of your Yan family to the emperor.

Two moments later, Mr. Xu cleaned Lin Shisan's wound and applied medicine.

Yan Shifan said, "I still have some ministry affairs to deal with, so I won't take you back home. Come, carry Lin Chuanfeng back home. Be careful when carrying him."

Lin Shisan was carried back to the bedroom in the new house.

Biyun was shocked: "What are you talking about? Didn't you just make a great contribution? Why did you get punished by the Jinyiwei?"

Lin Shisanqiang forced a smile: "What do you know? Beating is love, scolding is love, no beating, no scolding, no love. Governor Lu is kissing me!"

Biyun frowned: "Are you confused because of the beating? Is beating you a kiss? Could it be that all the favored thousand households and hundred households of the Jinyiwei have to be beaten with a big stick?"

Lin Shisan said, "Stop talking nonsense. Find me a big piece of ice to put on my butt. My butt is really broken this time."

The study room of Yan Mansion.

Yan Song is writing a bill.

Yan Shifan walked in and said, "Dad, Lu Bing was too cruel. He beat Lin Shisan with twenty sticks right in front of me."

"It's a good thing I went today. Otherwise, Lu Bingyi would have beaten Lin Shisan to death."

Yan Song said, "We killed Lu Bing's best friend, so we have to make him angry."

Yan Shifan sat on the chair and said, "It's good this way. Lu Bing's twenty blows have completely beaten Lin Shisan to our side."

"It's a good thing that the emperor's favored ministers have turned to us. We have a new helper in the Yongshou Palace in the Western Garden."

Yan Song reminded his son: "Although we had an unpleasant experience with Lu Bing this time, you must remember that the Yan family and Lu Bing are still allies."

"Lu Bing is a smart man. He will not break off relations with the Yan family because of Shen Lian's death. As long as the emperor still needs the Yan family, Lu Bing will not really turn against us."

Yan Shifan nodded: "Son, I understand. It's a pity for Lin Shisan, who did this for our Yan family and ended up with his skin torn and flesh bruised."

"He has offended his immediate superior Lu Bing, and I'm afraid he will have trouble getting a job in the Jinyiwei in the future."

Yan Song said meaningfully: "It doesn't matter if he can't get along in Jinyiwei, as long as he can get along in Xiyuan."

Ten days later, Northern Pacification Office.

Lin Shisan's injury was almost healed. He covered his butt and went to the lobby of the North Division to work.

All the centurions of the Northern Division were gloating over his misfortune. Lin Shisan was promoted too quickly, so who among the centurions of the same rank wouldn't be jealous? They hate those who have and laugh at those who don't, that's human nature.

Now that Lin Shisan has apparently fallen out of favor with the chief manager, these centurions are happy to laugh at him.

The young shopkeeper Lu Yi sat in the lobby and signed in first.

Then Lu Yi said, "There is something. Li Gaomeng, the younger brother of Concubine Li of Prince Yu's Mansion, was appointed as the general flag of the Northern Pacification Division, which is a real vacancy."

"He is a newcomer. He needs to be led by an experienced officer."

All the centurions stared with wide eyes, and each of them wanted Li Gao to be under their command.

Everyone knows that the most favored person in Prince Yu's mansion is Concubine Li. Prince Yu is the crown prince, and when he ascends the throne, Concubine Li will definitely be a noble concubine, and Li Gao will be the uncle of the emperor.

There are only benefits and no harm in getting along with the future uncle of the emperor and making good friends with him.

Deputy Captain Liu Shouyou led Li Gao into the duty room.

Lu Yi said: "General Li, all the centurions of the Northern Pacification Division are here. You can choose one to be your superior."

This is a political tactic used by the Lu family father and son.

Lin Shisan apparently offended Lu Bing, and he will definitely be ostracized by his colleagues in the Northern Division in the future.

The Lu family father and son did not want to see such an outcome. They would have to count on Lin Shisan to do important tasks in the future. If he was excluded and made difficult by his colleagues, he would definitely not be able to do his job smoothly.

The father and son knew that the future uncle of the emperor, Li Gao, had a good relationship with Lin Shisan. So they simply let Li Gao choose his own boss, and he would definitely choose Lin Shisan.

With the future uncle of the emperor as his subordinate, Lin Shisan's position in the department would be secure, and his colleagues in the Northern Department would not dare to make things difficult for him.

All the hundred households looked at Li Gao with friendly and even flattering eyes.

Li Gao didn't even look at them, and said directly: "Lin Shisan and Captain Lin are my best friends, and my sister asked me to get along well with him. I chose him to be my boss."

This Li Gao is a fool. He actually said in front of Lu Yi and a bunch of Northern Division officers, "My sister told me to have a good relationship with him."

It was taboo for the crown prince's concubine to let her younger brother make friends with a captain of the Imperial Guard.

However, this sentence also made all the hundred households secretly shocked: they thought that Lin Shisan was a phoenix without feathers, which was worse than a chicken. Unexpectedly, this skinny camel was bigger than a horse, and he actually had a friendship with Prince Yu's brother-in-law.

Alas, he still has the internal minister Lu Fang and the chief minister Yan Song as his backers.

I have to be friendly to him in the future. If we have any overlap in work, I have to continue to cooperate with him.

Lu Yi said: "Lin Shisan, you just made a big mistake. You shouldn't have added more people to your team."

"But since General Li is willing to follow you, he will work under you from now on. You must teach him well."

Lin Shisan bowed and said, "I obey your orders."

Lu Yi said, "That's all. There's nothing else to do, so go back to your duty room and do your work."

Lin Shisan led Li Gao into his duty room. The flag bearer Sun Yue was already waiting there.

Lin Shisan said: "Sun Yue, go gather the thirty-five brothers under our command."

Soon all the men gathered in the duty room.

Lin Shisan smiled and said, "Everyone, this is Li Gao, the general of the Li family. He is of noble birth and is the younger brother of Concubine Li of Prince Yu's Mansion."

"From now on, you must obey his orders carefully."

Now Lin Shisan has two general flags under his command, one is Sun Yue and the other is Li Gao. There are also three small flags and 32 registered lieutenants.

The Northern Pacification Division has a special status in the Jinyiwei, and is different from other thousand-household units. The number of general flags, small flags, and lieutenants under each hundred-household unit is not fixed.

Li Gao was a straightforward person with no brains. He said, "We will be brothers who stir the pot together from now on! If you need me, just let me know."

A group of comrades exchanged greetings with Li Gao.

Lin Shisan said, "This time, you brothers went with me to Xuanfu to do business. It was really hard. As a superior, I am incompetent and failed to get you promoted."

"Since the official hat cannot be replaced, I will just fill your purses."

After saying that, Lin Shisan took out a small box. When he opened it, he found that it was full of gold ingots weighing five taels each.

Lin Shisan said: "Five taels of gold per person. Everyone gets a share."

Lin Shisan is never stingy when it comes to winning over his subordinates and is willing to spend a lot of money.

These subordinates will follow you and fight for their lives, so you have to spend real money to win them over.

The way to be an official is to serve the superiors well and win over the subordinates. Sun Yue distributed the gold ingots to his comrades. All of them were happy.

Lin Shisan said, "Everyone, you should have heard about it. I was punished by the family law ten days ago. As my subordinates, you should be more cautious in the guards for the next period of time."

A small flag said angrily: "If you ask me, what crime have you committed? You have performed four great deeds in Xuanfu, and you also found a top-quality fighting insect for the emperor."

"Weili should have rewarded you. Now, instead of rewarding you, you were beaten with a stick."

Everyone agreed: "That's right. The chief shopkeeper is so unfair."

"Yes, it is clear that our Lin Baihu should be promoted."

Lin Shisan pressed his hand and said, "Okay, stop complaining. Otherwise, it will get out and cause trouble for me."

"In short, brothers, stay united with me from now on. I won't treat you unfairly."

Holding the heavy gold in their hands, this group of people wanted to show their loyalty to Lin Shisan.

Since ancient times, no money can gather troops, and rich people have united the people. The same is true for the Jinyiwei.

At this time, Chen Ju walked in and said, "Lin Chuanfeng, Eunuch Lu asked you to go to the West Garden to check the account books of the various rooms that kept pets this autumn."

Lin Shisan followed Chen Ju into the Western Garden and met Lu Fang by the Taiye Lake.

Lu Fang dismissed his attendants and asked, "How is your injury? Is it healed?"

Lin Shisan patted his buttocks with his hand and said, "Uncle, my nephew is strong. This little injury is nothing."

Lu Fang said, "You must not bear a grudge against Lu Bing. He beat you for your own good. If the Yan family father and son find out that something is fishy about Xuanfu, you will become a target of the Yan Party, the second Shen Lian."

Lin Shisan said, "Don't worry, uncle. I know what our chief shopkeeper is thinking."

Huang Jin walked over: "Hey, Lin Shisan is here."

Lin Shisan asked: "Eunuch Huang, how is Shen Lian's eldest son Shen Xiang doing in Bao'an Prefecture?"

Huang Jin replied: "He changed his name and was adopted by Zhang Yun as his son. Zhang Yun spent a lot of money to invite a great scholar from the capital to teach him."

"Don't worry. He's safe in Baoan Prefecture. His name will be changed back someday."

Lin Shisan showed a relieved expression on his face: "That's good. As long as the Shen family's incense can continue, I won't break my promise."

Lu Fang reminded Lin Shisan: "The person you really offended on this mission was not Lu Bing, but Xu Ci Fu. You should be careful of the people on his side in the future."

In the cabinet duty room.

Yan Song smiled and said, "Zisheng (Xu Jie's courtesy name), I want to congratulate you. Wang Zhigao received his official certificate from the Ministry of Personnel today and was appointed as the Governor-General of Xuanda."

Xu Jie quickly clarified: "Prime Minister, Wang Zhigao is not my disciple or student, and he has no contact with me on a daily basis."

Yan Song said: "After all, he was recommended by Prince Yu, and you are Prince Yu's teacher. In short, it is worth congratulating him."

In fact, Xu Jie was also confused. He didn't know how Wang Zhigao got in touch with Prince Yu.

Zhang Juzheng hid the truth from Xu Jie.

Yan Song changed the subject: "I have something to ask of you."

Xu Jie immediately stood up, with a look of trepidation and fear: "Just tell me what the Prime Minister wants you to do. The word 'ask' is too much for me."

Yan Song said, "Sit down and talk. Your student Wang Bengu was really out of line in Hangzhou."

"That's right. The Inspector General has the duty to inspect the frontiers."

"But no matter what Hu Zongxian did in the southeast, Wang Bengu would submit a memorial to impeach him. Once he did so, a bunch of censors would follow suit."

"If this continues, Hu Zongxian will not be able to move freely in the southeast."

Xu Jie was submissive in front of Yan Song: "The Prime Minister has taught me this. I will write to Wang Bengu and ask him to be more restrained."

In fact, it was Xu Jie who instructed Wang Bengu to find fault with Hu Zongxian every now and then.

Yan Song knew very well that friendly discussions were useless and he had to use threats.

Yan Song suddenly took out a document from the Ministry of Personnel: "Hai Rui, the magistrate of Chun'an County, Zhejiang Province, has completed his term. For some reason, those fools in the Ministry of Personnel want to transfer Hai Rui to Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, to be the magistrate."

"Although Hai Rui is only a seventh-rank official, he is the most famous gangster in Jiangnan. He is both straightforward and stupid."

"If such a person were transferred to your hometown, Zisheng, to serve as a local official, who knows what kind of trouble he would cause in your hometown."

"I plan to ask the Ministry of Personnel to find another place for Hai Rui."

This was a naked threat. Xu Jie had a dirty background, as more than 60% of the land in his hometown of Huating County belonged to the Xu family.

With Hai Rui's temperament, he really dared to do something to suppress the powerful and tyrannical people and even the deputy assistant minister.

Xu Jie bowed and said, "Thank you Prime Minister for your thorough consideration."

Let’s talk about the Taiye Lake.

Lin Shisan stared at the rippling waves on the Taiye Lake in a trance.

During his trip to the West to catch insects, he watched helplessly as a loyal man was beheaded in the downtown area.

Yang Shun, the main culprit of the defeat in Yingzhou and the number one pest in Xuanda, was promoted to the Minister of War in Nanjing and was also given the title of Prince's Tutor.

Isn't this confusing right and wrong?

Lin Shisan picked up a stone and smashed it hard into the Taiye Lake.

Although the stone splashed water and caused ripples, the water surface was ultimately calm.

The leaves of the poplar trees around Taiye Lake turned yellow, fell off, and then turned green again. Eight months passed in the blink of an eye.

The thirty-sixth year of Jiajing’s reign, June, early summer.

Lin Shisan had not handled any important tasks in the past eight months. He was in charge of the pet affairs in the West Garden every day. When the time came, he would go home to eat, sleep, and beat his wives and concubines.

Luo Longwen finally got the news. The Japanese pirate Xu Hai was persuaded by Hu Zongxian to surrender and go ashore, but was later killed by his accomplice Chen Dong. Chen Dong was also killed by the Ming army.

Hu Zongxian ordered Luo Longwen to bring the heads of Xu Hai, Chen Dong, Ye Ma and Xin Wulang back to the capital and present them to Emperor Jiajing.

Luo Longwen played an indispensable role in the destruction of the second largest Japanese pirate group in the southeast.

The court was still full of sniping and undercurrents. The struggle between the Yan Party and the Xu Party never stopped.

June is the peak season for ice. The huge investment of the Lin family in opening an ice cellar finally paid off. The money from the elephant training center and the internal official prison poured into Lin Youniu's pocket like a tide.

Room for the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

Lu Fang sat behind the desk, and Lin Shisan stood in front of him.

Lu Fang said, "I have an important task for you to do."

Lin Shisan was a little scared: "Uncle, this isn't another job that requires your head to hang on your belt, is it?"

Lü Fang smiled and said, "Important doesn't mean dangerous. Among the pets in the Western Garden, do you know which three the Emperor likes the most?"

Lin Shisan blurted out: "White Deer, Golden Turtle, Royal Cat Eyebrow Cream."

Lu Fang nodded: "That's right. It's really strange. Normal female cats are in heat from March to May, and from September to November. Now it's early summer, but Mei Shuang is screaming every night."

"The Emperor has given you a verbal order. He wants you to find a male cat of the same social status and appearance as Mei Shuang to marry."
