Traveling from The Deer and Ding Tale

Chapter 66
The two chatted in different places for a while, and then the voice of Wen's second child sounded outside the upper study room, "Report to the Emperor, Prince Kang and Lord Suo are asking to see you."

"Let them in." After Kangxi finished speaking, he stood up from the ground and went back to his seat to approve the documents.

Not long after, Suo'etu and Prince Kang entered the upper study room and saw that Kangxi's face was red and swollen. Thinking of what the second child of the Wen family said just now that the emperor and Deputy Zhou were all practicing martial arts inside, the two of them looked at each other, and their hearts almost trembled. Scared to death.

"Zhou Dutong dared to hit the emperor, and the emperor was not angry at all. What kind of friendship do they have?"

In an instant, Prince Kang and Suo'etu had a second thought in their minds. Fortunately, the old man had the foresight to establish a relationship with Zhou Ping'an in advance. But the relationship is not enough, it needs to be closer.

This time Prince Kang and Suo'etu came to the study to report on the imperial examination.

Kangxi took the passbook from Wen's second child, looked at it for a while, and then said with a smile, "I will reward you for your ability in this imperial examination."

After finishing speaking, Kangxi waved to Zhou Ping'an, signaling him to go over.

As soon as Zhou Ping'an walked to the throne, Kangxi handed him the booklet.

Zhou Pingan looked at the detailed list of winning candidates, most of them were students from the academy, and the number one, second place, and No. [-] prizes were all taken by the students of the academy, and there was a sense of pride and pride in his heart like being awarded the gold list.

This first step has finally come out.

At this moment, Suo'etu played respectfully, "Your Majesty, the reason why this imperial examination went so smoothly and was praised by scholars all over the country is that the emperor's heart is for the scholars to take charge of the overall situation. Push Zhou Dutong."

Prince Kang's complexion changed slightly, and he quickly continued: "Yes, Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou worked hard day and night for this imperial examination. At that time, in order to choose the topic, he even fought for three days and three nights in the servant's mansion without closing his eyes. In terms of merit, when Zhou Dutong is the first to be promoted."

"Huh? In this world, there are people who seek official positions for others?" Zhou Pingan was slightly taken aback.

Suo'etu and Prince Kang joined forces to seek an official for him, which was really beyond Zhou Ping'an's expectations.

After hearing what Suo'etu and Prince Kang said, Kangxi nodded repeatedly and said, "Xiao Guizi not only contributed a lot to this imperial examination, but also sacrificed his life to protect the Lord in Qingliang Temple.

This kind of loyal and brave man should be a model for all the civil and military officials of my dynasty. In this way, I will not be promoted this time, and I will give Zhou Pingan the first-class viscount. Suo Etu and Jie Shu, your contributions are also not small, and I also There are rewards. "

The second son of the Wen family stood beside him, although he had a smile on his face, he was already terrified to death in his heart, "Everyone started out as eunuchs,

Why am I still a eunuch now, and everyone has already been appointed as a viscount from the first rank? Is it really because I cut off my lifeblood?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Zhou Pingan thought it was time to strike while the iron was hot, so he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, since this imperial examination is the first time to get rid of Oboi's long-standing abuses,

Should we also provide favors in recruitment and appointment? In this way, we will not bury the country's talented people without talent and virtue, but also let the people of the world, especially the scholars, see the emperor's ambition to work hard."

"Slave seconded the proposal." Suo'etu followed immediately.

"Slave Jieshu seconded the proposal." Prince Kang was extremely annoyed that he was one step too late.

Kangxi pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "Very well, I also have the same intention. In this way, the champion will be promoted to two levels of appointment, and the rest will be promoted to one level or assigned to relatively important positions for training depending on the situation."

After finishing speaking, Kangxi added, "Of course, while entrusting important tasks, the officials must focus on follow-up, and must ensure that the promoted users have sufficient virtue and talent."

Zhou Ping'an was secretly stunned, this Kangxi was really considerate, and he used his kindness and power very well.

After finishing the imperial examination, Kangxi picked up another booklet from the imperial table and said, "There is one more thing, since all your lovers are here, let's discuss it together.

Zhenzhou Prefecture Governor Mei Changshu handed over a booklet, saying that he tried the strategy of off-the-job training for in-service officials in Zhenzhou, and achieved good results.

Zhenzhou’s field tax is expected to increase by tens of thousands of taels this year. Dear friends, do you think it is feasible for in-service officials to conduct off-the-job training? "

Zhou Ping'an winked slightly at Suo'etu.

Suo'etu immediately returned a grateful look to Zhou Ping'an, and then said: "Your Majesty, the purpose of appointing officials in our court is to manage local affairs. If you frequently leave your post for a month or two, then..."

"Cough cough." Zhou Pingan coughed lightly.

"Ah, slave." Suo'etu was speechless for a moment.

Prince Kang was overjoyed when he saw the situation, and immediately reported: "Your Majesty, I think that Mei Fuyin's attempt can be a good strategy to reform the administration of officials.

Over the years, under the control of Oboi, many local officials have made flattery and flattery to Oboi as their main business.
This move by Yin Meifu will not only help His Majesty clean up the court, but also improve the ability of local officials to govern, it is indeed a feasible move."

Kangxi listened, nodded again and again, and said sternly: "In this case, then I will promote Zhenzhou Governor Yin Meichang to join the Imperial Academy, and be responsible for the implementation of the policy of leaving the post for in-service officials.

Select three or five provinces for trial implementation first, and if the trial results are satisfactory, it will be extended to the whole country.Specifically how to do it, after you discuss it, report a booklet. "

Coming out of the upper study room, Suo'etu looked at Zhou Ping'an with a face full of shame and said, "Brother, you are all stupid to be a brother, and you can't even understand your hints. Fortunately, brother, you stopped in time, otherwise, brother will be so stupid now." I don’t know how to end it.”

Thinking of the situation just now, Suo'etu not only sweated.

"Why are you still talking about this at this time. We are now, one is to quickly implement the emperor's will, and the other is to celebrate Lord Zhou." Prince Kang picked up a big bargain in front of Kangxi just now, and he is not in a good mood at the moment.

"Brother, it's because my brother has too little contact with you. In this way, my brother is the host at night. This time, I got a group of blond beauties from the side where the sun never sets. Let's make the sun never set once tonight. How about it? Prince Kang , you can come too." Suo'etu laughed.

"Don't say the sun never sets, it's the camel in the sun. As long as Brother Gui goes, I will go." Although Prince Kang is nearly [-] years old, when he heard such a good thing, he was not far behind.

"I'll go when the sun never sets, and the camels tut tsk, my lord, you'd better go by yourself, I really don't have the guts." Zhou Ping'an chuckled, and secretly said that men are all children, no matter how old they are, they still love it. .

That night, Suo'etu took Zhou Ping'an and Prince Kang to his deep house in the west of Beijing, where they had wine pools and meat forests, and had a great time, and everyone enjoyed it.

It was almost evening when they came out of Suo'etu Jingxi Bieyuan, and it turned out that the three of them had been having fun for a whole day and night.

After bidding farewell to Prince Kang, Zhou Pingan only took a few sedan chairs in the alley, and sent the bearers back first.

Walking alone on the streets of the capital, blowing the cool breeze, thinking about all kinds of things before and after time travel, Zhou Ping'an only felt like a dream, and even felt a little bit dumbfounded.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of fighting that seemed far away and near. Zhou Pingan didn't understand it, but he heard a sentence, "Hmph, that's just the way the Blood Coagulation God catches it."
