Wang Ji, the judge of the Internal Affairs Bureau, yawned as he sat in the yamen. Although this department was relatively important, the personnel affairs in Bianliang were currently completely controlled by the Ministry of Personnel and the Council of Political Affairs.

Liuneiquan was originally independent of the Ministry of Personnel, but now it has been changed back to the Ministry of Personnel and has once again become one of the subordinate agencies of the Ministry of Personnel.

So what they have to do now is to obey the arrangements of the Political System Council and the Ministry of Personnel, and execute who is assigned to which position. Therefore, except for officials from other places, officials who are selected in the capital of Bianliang have almost disappeared, and they have less business.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a dark face walked into the yamen. Since he had an official certificate, he was able to pass through without any obstruction and was taken to Wang Ji's office by a clerk.

Wang Ji raised his head and looked at the other person, then took out a pen and paper to write down his thoughts, and lazily asked, "Name."

The task of the Liuneiquan is to assign positions to officials. Many officials from other places are idle officials, or have temporarily resigned for some reasons. They have to return to the Ministry of Personnel to register again. Only after being nominated can they be selected for positions based on their abilities and vacancies.

This process is called listening and selection.

Sometimes, if officials who have inherited the family patronage or are from the same Jinshi degree have no connections or channels, it may take many years for them to be selected for a real vacancy.

As for those who are Jinshi graduates of the third class or above, it is not that troublesome and they can usually get what they want quickly.

The dark-faced middle-aged man said seriously, "I am Bao Zheng, courtesy name Xiren, and I have met the judge."

As he said this, he handed over the certificate, fish bag and official certificate.

"Bao Bao Zheng?"

The pen in Wang Ji's hand froze for a moment, then he suddenly raised his head to look at it, then took the notice and read it carefully.

Gaoshen is an official certificate issued by the imperial court, similar to the letter of appointment in later generations.

Fish bags and public inspections are also identity cards.

To prevent people from impersonating officials, there are descriptions of the officials' appearances.

Wang Ji confirmed that the man before him looked exactly like the description given by the investigative officer. This charcoal-black face was indeed very recognizable, so he said, "Are you Bao Zheng?"

Bao Zheng was confused and asked, "Does the judge know me?"

"without."

Wang Ji shook his head and then said, "I, the official who drafted your document, cannot make the final decision. Please wait in the yamen for a while while I report to the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

Then he stood up and left.

Bao Zheng became even more confused.

He had also heard about the Constitutional Council.

The imperial court has now made major changes to its official system, abolishing the Three Departments, restoring the Six Ministries, and even adding many more departments. The overall manager of all departments is the Political System Council.

The new Director of the Constitutional Yuan is said to be only in his twenties, very young, and it is unknown where his background leads him to have such great power.

But all this has nothing to do with Bao Zheng.

Because he was just a minor official before he resigned and returned to his hometown to support his parents.

From the eighth rank to the state tax supervisor.

The size of sesame and mung beans.

So he knew nothing about the affairs of the big shots above.

But the question is why does a minor official of the eighth rank need to report to the Constitutional Council before resigning?

This is a bit unbelievable.

Bao Zheng was confused, but he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he found a chair in Liu Neiquan's office and sat down.

There were so many people coming in and out of the yard that he felt a little restless.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long.

About half an hour later, Wang Ji hurried back, accompanied by a eunuch who said to him, "Go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The Minister wants to see you. This is the eunuch Li who brought you into the palace."

"Forehead"

Bao Zheng followed the eunuch out of Liuneiquan in a daze and headed towards the imperial city.
