Although the young red-robed official in front of him had only raised three official flags just now.

But there is an official flag that has just been sealed and has not yet been delivered, which is the most important thing.

"I heard that Xuanchen has many merits, wisdom and talents, and he is a great scholar of Wuying Palace."

The emperor's always brief and straightforward decree just announced to the court this morning is still clearly engraved in the minds of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Who dares to neglect the upstart in the court in front of him?

Nowadays, everyone in the imperial court does not know that the official title of the great scholar in the imperial court is not high, only the fifth rank, but it is the prerequisite for joining the cabinet.

Non-majors cannot join the cabinet.

This is already the default rule in the court.

Although His Majesty has not yet issued an order for Tie Xuan to be appointed to the cabinet, but who knows, he is waiting for General Tie Xuan's achievements in the past few years to be explained to the court.

Then, he will justifiably issue the decree and let Tie Xuan join the cabinet.

Moreover, after the spring begins, Duke Founder and Duke Cao will return to Beijing.

After those two returned to Beijing, they were awarded the title of Duke of Jin.

This time Tie Xuan returned to Beijing from the Eastern Expedition army first, which could be regarded as a front-line stand.

To praise Tie Xuan in the court and get him appointed to the cabinet is equivalent to paving the way for the founding Duke and Cao Guo Gong to be promoted to the title of county prince.

The officials of the Ministry of Etiquette did not dare to slack off any more. They bowed one after another and said in unison: "I thank you, Bachelor Tie."

The smile on Tie Xuan's face has never disappeared since he got off the boat.

All the officials from the Ministry of Etiquette stood up.

He just continued: "I have troubled you all to wait here for a long time. When these Japanese officials are busy reporting their duties in the past few days, I will definitely treat you to a banquet to express my gratitude."

Everyone declined one after another.

It's true that they didn't dare to neglect Tie Xuan, but no one dared to have a close relationship with Tie Xuan.

Who doesn't know that the man in front of me has been in Yingzhou for several years, but with his scholarly heart, he has earned himself a reputation as a butcher.

Whenever one thinks of Tie Xuan's name, the image of corpses strewn all over the four streets of Yingzhou and rivers of blood appears in front of everyone's eyes.

This young man who can be awarded the title of Grand Bachelor of Wuyingdian, and may even be appointed to the cabinet soon. The reason why he is able to receive such an award is because he has actually paid for the countless Japanese lives in the four provinces of Yingzhou.

The leading official from the Ministry of Etiquette, the Qing Dynasty Officials Division, stepped forward with a smile on his face and said: "Scholar Tie has many matters to deal with when he returns to the capital. In addition, since the bachelor has returned after several years, the imperial court will definitely give him another reward.

Entrusted with an important task. We dare not delay the bachelor's rest. If we tire the bachelor by then, it will be our fault."

After this person finished speaking, someone on the side immediately said, "Bachelor should enter the city. According to the rules, today the bachelor will stay at Fanlin Temple outside Bei'anmen.

It's just that His Majesty, by His Majesty's grace, has issued an oral order, requiring the bachelor to enter the Taishe Ji Altar before the palace gate closes tonight and meet at court tomorrow."

Even if there is no news.

But just because Tie Xuan was allowed to return to Beijing and live in Taishe Ji today, it is enough to show that he will definitely join the cabinet in the future.

The person who lived in Taisheji after returning to Beijing last time was Gao Yangzhi, the youngest cabinet minister of the Ming Dynasty who entered Beijing.

Tie Xuan, however, has been away from Ying Tian for a long time, so naturally he doesn't know about Gao Yangzhi.

After hearing this, he couldn't help but frown: "Your Majesty's move..."

He did not dare to say that the emperor's arrangement was inconsistent with the rules and regulations.

But the meaning is clear.

The doctor from the Bureau of Ceremony and the Qing Dynasty smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, bachelor, the last time Mr. Gaoge returned to Beijing, he lived in Taisheji."

After saying that, he gave Tie Xuan a meaningful look.

Tie Xuan understood the other person's eyes.

This is a hint that he will soon join the cabinet and become a member of the Ming Dynasty cabinet.

Tie Xuan smiled slightly: "Can you enter the palace before the palace door is locked?"

The Minister of Ceremony and Cleaning Bureau nodded: "Your Majesty's kindness is so great. Bachelors should keep it in mind."

Tie Xuan hummed and raised his hands toward the imperial city: "I will remember this and will not forget the emperor's kindness."

Seeing that Tie Xuan understood, the doctor of the Ceremony and Cleaning Department stretched out his hand: "Bachelor, let's enter the city."

"Enter the city!"

…

"Now that I have come back and entered this Yingtian City, I will not act as recklessly as I did in Yingzhou. I must think twice before doing anything."

Today, Xie Jin deliberately finished his official duties at the cabinet early, leaving Ren Hengtai and others who had long seen through him, and left the palace to the newspaper office under the east city wall.

In the backyard of the newspaper office, a pavilion was built under the apricot tree that had lost all its leaves but was growing stronger.

Relying on the stove in the pavilion, Xie Jin and Tie Xuan, who rushed here, never felt cold.

Tie Xuan nodded, picked up the tea cup in front of him, and warmed his stomach with the tea soup.

"Today at the dock, someone from the Ministry of Rites hinted to me that I will be joining the cabinet soon after returning to Beijing. I wonder if this is true?"

Xie Jin looked at the bare apricot tree and smiled: "Do you want to join the cabinet?"

Tie Xuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Restricted!"

"Restricted?"

Tie Xuan glanced at Xie Jin lightly: "Since you joined the cabinet, how long have you not left Yingtian City?"

Jie Jin blinked and suddenly laughed.

Tie Xuan didn't respond. He just watched Xie Jin laugh enough and slowly stopped laughing.

At this time, Xie Jin slapped the table, and then pointed at Tie Xuan: "I know that it is impossible for someone like you who has been fooling around for several years to sit in the cabinet. Tell me, this time there is something wrong

What do you think? Let me tell you in advance that although His Majesty and the Crown Prince have not stated it explicitly, they probably intend to have you join the cabinet."

"Your Majesty and the Crown Prince?" Tie Xuan frowned slightly.

Xie Jin explained: "Have you forgotten that your Majesty added you the Grand Bachelor of Wuyingdian? Now in the cabinet, the Duke of Wei, the Duke of Liang, and the Marquis of Xiping are also the Grand Bachelor of Wuyingdian."

Tie Xuan's eyes flickered: "Your Majesty and the Crown Prince intend to ask me to go to the army to monitor the armies?"

"If my guess is correct, this is probably the plan." Xie Jin turned the tea cup in his hand and said slowly: "You have been in the Eastern Expedition Army for many years, you are familiar with military affairs, and you are the left minister of the Ministry of War. I ask you to supervise the various affairs.

The military is also a reasonable thing.

After all, even if His Majesty and the Crown Prince are very confident about the army, the rules they should have should be gradually established now. Just like the Jinyi Guards supervising all officials."

Tie Xuan's brows furrowed even more: "But the Jinyi Guards are not under the control of the Governor's Mansion."

Jie Jin glanced at Tie Xuan, who was full of doubts, shook his head, and said, "Since you don't want to join the cabinet, what are your plans next?"

Tie Xuan thought about it silently.

Then he said: "I have some ideas at the moment, but I haven't sorted them out yet."

"but……"

“The general direction is either the Nine Borders or the implementation of the New Deal in local areas.”
