Rebirth: From being expelled from the imperial court to becoming a high-ranking official

It is supposed that a chief clerk can be appointed in the government office, but it has never been done here.

Liu Dianshi has not been thinking about promotion in recent years, and it is impossible for the Ministry of Personnel to set up a chief clerk specifically for his promotion.

Normally, Qin Yunhe often said that he would record a merit for him, but he didn't take it too seriously. As long as the magistrate was happy, it was enough. It was highly likely that he would not be promoted.

So this promotion really gave him a big surprise.

Liu Dianshi went to Qin Yunhe to express his gratitude immediately.

Qin Yunhe said: "...Liu Zhubu has been in the hall for many years, working diligently and earning excellent marks in the examinations every year. It is only a matter of time before he is promoted."

Having said that, Liu Zhubu was still very grateful to Qin Yunhe. After all, he was promoted during Qin Yunhe's tenure. It was impossible to say that he had nothing to do with Qin Yunhe, the chief official of the hall.

Liu Zhubu thanked Qin Yunhe politely again, and the two chatted about official business for a while before he left the study.

In fact, other registrars and team leaders in the hall also felt that Liu Zhubu's promotion was well deserved.

Over the years, although Liu Dianshi has always been the Dianshi, in fact, all the trivial matters are arranged by Liu Dianshi. If no matter big or small matters can be asked to the Tuiguan, Liu Dianshi will be asked, and most of the time Liu Dianshi is willing to help solve them.

Since the government office needs a chief clerk, it would be much better to have Liu Dianshi be the chief clerk than to send an unknown person.

As soon as Liu Zhubu came out of the study, he ran into Zhuzi who came to report. Zhuzi had naturally heard about it, so he immediately bowed and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Liu Zhubu on your promotion."

Liu Zhubu bowed in return with a smile on his face: "Thank you, brother Zhuzi, congratulations to you."

The other squad leaders, yamen runners, and clerks were naturally even happier. As soon as they saw him come out, they surrounded him and congratulated him.

Liu Zhubu was very happy and was polite to everyone for a long time before he could leave and go back to his duty room.

In May, Qin Shi came to the provincial capital again to prepare for the imperial examination.

"Why did you come so late again? You could have come a few days earlier to familiarize yourself with the examination room."

Qin Yunhe knew that his brother was probably afraid that his nephew would come too early and affect his work, and he felt helpless.

"It's okay, uncle. I've been here so many times, I'm familiar with it now. I won't be uncomfortable even if I arrive the day before the exam."

Qin Yun had no choice but to smile, pat his nephew, and lead him to the inner court.

"…You've taken the test, so there will be no problem with the science test. Don't be nervous."

Qin Shi nodded: "I understand, uncle."

In the inner court, Yu Ru had already had the guest room cleaned up and was waiting for Qin Shi to arrive.

Qin Shi greeted his aunt and was then pulled aside by Yu Ru to talk.

"Your uncle and I have been waiting for you to come over. I heard that your marriage has been settled?"

Qin Shi's face suddenly turned hot and flushed.

"Yes, she is my aunt's cousin..."

"I heard about that Chun Jiu who came to our village when he was a child, right?"

Qin Shi blushed and nodded again.

"That's good. I know you well..."

The family chatted for a long time and then went to bed after dinner.

A few days later, Qin Shi and Li Chang entered the imperial examination room at the same time.

Ten days later, the list of candidates was posted. Li Chang was at the top again, and Qin Shi also did very well.

Qin Yunhe was very happy and specially congratulated the two people.

After Qin Shi finished the imperial examination, he returned to his hometown to prepare for the autumn examination. Qin Yunhe was also almost done with his work, so he wrote a letter to Yuger, asking him to come to the city with Fan Hong to attend classes.

After two or three years, Yu Ge'er and Fan Hong were already quite familiar with the Four Books and Classics. Qin Yunhe then gave them questions from the county government exams of previous years.

After trying the county exam questions a few times, both of them did pretty well. I can't say that I can pass it 100%, but I think I can give it a try.

In the blink of an eye, it was August again. After seeing off Fan Hong and Yu Ge'er, Li Chang would have to go to Zhending Prefecture to take part in the provincial examination in a few days.

Although Qin Yunhe knew that Li Chang should be quite familiar with the procedures and various precautions of the Autumn Examination, he still couldn't help but give him a lot of instructions.

".…..On the first day when you are in the best condition, remember to do the scriptures first. There is no rush to post the scriptures. If the examiner asks you to stop writing, you must stop writing..."

Li Chang waved his fan and smiled as Qin Yunhe instructed him. After a while, he said, "My lord, you have taken so much trouble. If I fail this time, I will not be able to come back to see you."

Qin Yunhe burst out laughing. This Zigao just loves to joke.

"Well, I'm the one who's been nagging. I wish Zigao a safe journey and hope he'll pass the exam."

Li Chang also smiled and bowed, saying, "Then I will take your good words."

After seeing Li Chang off, Qin Yunhe began to get busy with the affairs of the government office again. He only calculated the exam dates and the day when Li Chang would return in his spare time.

After more than half a month, Li Chang finally rushed back from Zhending Prefecture.

Qin Yunhe didn't ask any more questions, but guessed that Li Chang had a high chance of winning.

Li Chang's family lived in Fuyu County, so the good news of his success in the imperial examination was not sent to the provincial capital, but to Lijiaping.

However, the notice would also be posted in the city, so it was not too late for them to find out that Li Chang had passed the exam.

"Congratulations, Zigao, for passing the exam." Qin Yunhe sent Zhao Ping to check the list. When he heard that he passed the exam, he happily rushed to Li Chang to congratulate him.

Seventh place is really a good result.

Li Chang seemed to have a plan in mind. Although he was a little complacent, his reaction was relatively calm: "Thank you, sir. Now I can see you again."

Qin Yunhe made Li Chang laugh again.

The two knew that many people would come to visit them in two days for such a happy event, so they went to Fanyang Tower together before others came.

"Zigao has passed the high school entrance examination and will be able to go to Beijing to take part in the spring imperial examination next year."

Once he passed the Spring Examination, Li Chang would be able to officially enter the official career. Thinking of this, Qin Yunhe actually felt a little reluctant.

Of course, he certainly hoped that Li Chang would pass the exam, but after living together for several years, he couldn't help feeling a little sad when thinking about the separation soon.

Li Chang naturally understood what Qin Yunhe was thinking, and said, "If I fail the Spring Examination, I can come back and be your advisor again."

Qin Yunhe was originally a little reluctant, but Li Chang's words made him laugh and cry: "Zigao, you, you."

"Hahaha."

Li Chang was the best at observing people's thoughts, and he could distract them by saying something nonsense.

Looking back, it seemed like just a blink of an eye when Li Chang insisted on following him to take office, helped him gain a foothold in the government office, and assisted him in many aspects of official business.

"I am grateful to Zigao for his help over the past few years. I don't know how much energy he has put in. Let me first toast to Zigao." Qin Yunhe raised the wine glass solemnly.

Li Chang smiled slightly and stopped joking. He also raised his glass and clinked it with Qin Yunhe's glass: "Li Chang also wants to thank you for your advice and encouragement over the past few years. You are really a good teacher and friend to me. I am lucky to have met you."

After saying this, Li Chang drank the wine in the glass.
