The Lonely Family in the Red Chamber

Not to mention that all the officials who are used to being pampered and domineering had to pick up the relevant books again and study hard day and night, even some alternate officials who had been waiting to the point of despair also started to put their heart into it.Compared with spending money to open up connections and intrigue with a group of people, it is much easier to study. If you do well in the exam, even if you don’t make it this time, you can still leave a good evaluation with the official department. What will happen next time? Things, naturally it's my turn.

What's more, people with a bit of knowledge have noticed that Tu Jingnian is obviously not a Taiping emperor who only knows how to stick to the rules and enjoy peace. He wants to be the master of ZTE. Naturally, he needs capable officials to help him. Don't you show it Your own worth, who knows who you are?

Exams have a long history, and Tu Jingnian can't guarantee complete fairness. Therefore, three days in advance, some chief officials of the six departments were transferred, and three exam papers were issued for each department. At that time, random Pick one out for the test.As for the officials who produced the examination papers, you should live in the imperial city for these three days. Naturally, the palace will take care of food and other things for you. After the examination is over, you can go home.For those who take the exam, it is also very simple. Except for a few chief examiners, they are all servants who are not very literate. The answer sheet must be in the pavilion style. One step is saved. This is different from writing an article. The answers to many things are fixed. Even if you want to cheat, you can't open your eyes and talk nonsense.You were playing tricks on the New Deal that the emperor came up with in the first year of his reign, what are you thinking?

The results of the examination came out within a few days. Most of the people are still worthy of their official positions. Of course, there are also many candidates who stand out. Most of them are not very high-born. , and no gray income, naturally you can’t afford some expensive hobbies. Even if you want to seek refuge with some powerful person, you must have some skills. If you want to learn some skills, you must study hard. Yes, especially when you encounter such an opportunity, there is no reason not to show it well. At least, your grades are higher. If a similar official position is vacant, it is very likely that it will be your turn!

Of course, there are also many people whose grades are not optimistic and have to face the situation of being cleared.For example, like Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng’s popularity in the Ministry of Industry is very bad, this guy is actually quite innocent, he doesn’t take bribes, he doesn’t take bribes, but he can’t do anything, and he can’t do anything, When something happened to him, it was bound to cause problems. In the end, the people from the Ministry of Industry almost asked him to go home and have fun with his Qing Ke staff, so as not to cause bad things.

As a result of this exam, Jia Zheng panicked. Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu are definitely father and son. Both of them have exam syndrome. The difference is that Jia Baoyu still has some stuff in his stomach. The kind of high-minded, self-righteous person.Ever since Jia Yuanchun climbed onto Emperor Chengqing's bed, Jia Zheng was trembling even more at home. Originally, he looked down on the job of the Ministry of Industry, but now he waited for his daughter to help him blow the pillow, so that he could show off. What have you learned!

It's a pity that when the Jia family mentioned Jia Yuanchun at home, they would always refer to her as the concubine. In fact, Jia Yuanchun was not favored. Emperor Chengqing is now old, even if he is with his concubine, he is enjoying the concubine's beauty. Waiting, but it is rare to have a bed brother. Jia Yuanchun was unlucky in the palace of the abolished empress before, and the Jia family was ransacked because of some innocence. There are young concubines everywhere in the Shoukang Palace. Jia Yuanchun, Baolin, what kind of person is on the card, that is, he lives in one and a half rooms, one room is lived by himself, and the other half is for the palace servants who serve her. Take care of her!Her beauty is not surprising in the palace. What Emperor Chengqing appreciates now is not this gentle and graceful beauty, but a delicate and lively big lolita. Being able to struggle in vain in the Shoukang Palace, I secretly regret that I should not have hooked up with Emperor Chengqing in a hurry back then, even if I survived for a few more years, I still have to hook up with the current saint!The saint's harem can be called empty, if he can make a relationship, with his appearance and family background, even if he doesn't expect a concubine, at least he is one of the nine concubines!

Jia Yuanchun was in the palace, if he wanted to eat some hot food, he would have to bribe the eunuch in the dining room, usually he wouldn't even see Emperor Chengqing's face, let alone beg for an official for his father!Therefore, Jia Zheng was still aggrieved as his employee of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang, and then, during the exam, he became the last one. Although he was not the last one, he was also the second last one. The talent is not in the investigation of things, but in the criminal law. I have already memorized the Dajin Law fluently, and I applied directly to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It is said that I got a very high score in the test. The Ministry of Criminal Justice has already sent a message to keep him as a doctor. up.

As soon as the results came out, the head of the Ministry of Industry was overjoyed, and finally he was able to kick this guy out. Sure enough, soon, the decree came down. Those who failed the exam will all be dismissed. , Jia Zheng was kicked home just like that, he has always had the best face, and when he got home he said he was sick and refused to see anyone, but this provoked Jia She, who had never been used to him, a burst of cynicism, and was scolded by Shi Taijun when he turned around I don't know filial piety, so I went back in despair.

In stark contrast to Jia Zheng is Jia Lian. When Jia Lian married Wang Xifeng before, under the operation of the Wang family, he donated a vain job as an acquaintance. Teng, posted the position of this acquaintance to the household department, and then ran to take the exam.Jia Lian has always been very sensitive to numbers, and Wang Xifeng is far behind him when it comes to ways of earning money. At least Wang Xifeng only knows how to give loan sharks, but Jia Lian knows how to find some property outside to supplement his private house.Therefore, Jia Lian, who was really bad at studying, was actually quite gifted in arithmetic and successfully passed the exam. After Wang Ziteng asked him if he didn't think he was a small official, he gave him a sixth-rank official position in the Ministry of Household Affairs.Although the official position was not high, it was a real lack, not a false one. Jia Lian was elated and soon took office, but Jia Zheng was so angry that he vomited blood when he heard the news.

Tu Jingnian didn't care about these trivial matters, anyway, this exam only affects the small officials of various ministries, and Tu Jingnian may not know the names of these people, but the subsequent Enke exam has also come to an end That's right, those scholars who are about to become disciples of the Son of Heaven will be the first batch of people to participate in the official qualification assessment. If this time is done well, it will become a rule in the future and continue forever.

As Tu Jingnian's first imperial examination after he ascended the throne, the people in the Ministry of Rituals were serious about it, but Tu Jingnian didn't think too much about it. It's still the same sentence, he has no shortage of useful people, and he doesn't think so. Those who write brilliantly about policies can really do their jobs well.In the past dynasties, there are so many No. [-] scholars, how many of them have actually made any actual achievements, and have any conspicuous political achievements!

Therefore, Tu Jingnian just asked the Ministry of Rites to draw up a batch of questions for the palace examination, randomly selected one by drawing lots, and waited for the palace examination to start.

When Emperor Chengqing was there, he took Tu Jingnian with him in two palace examinations, but he just glanced at him. Tu Jingnian was no stranger to this. I didn't dare to lift it up, so I wrote vigorously below.Tu Jingnian observed for a while, and found that these scholars were of average age, there was no old man with gray hair, nor too young, the youngest seemed to be in his twenties, The oldest one is in his 40s.This is also an unspoken rule of this dynasty, and it is nothing more than a scholar. For the right to tax-free and labor-free for tens of acres of land, or for some other reasons, there are more old boys with white hair who are still fighting.

But when it comes to the provincial examination, there are very few new recruits over the age of 50. After all, juren can actually be awarded an official. Of course, this also depends on the situation. It is also very possible to get an official position, or to say that this person has a relatively strong background, and generally can be an official of the eighth or ninth rank, but it is much more difficult to go up.There are so many official positions, Jinshi is not enough to allocate, which round will be awarded.If you take a 60-[-]-year-old juren, and you just gave him an official position, half of the work is done, and he dies, what will happen to the rest, and who will bear the responsibility!This is especially true for Jinshi. If you get someone in his late teens to come over, even if he wins Jinshi, do you want to be an official, or do you just want to become an official?Therefore, in order not to waste limited resources on some elderly people who can't do much, starting from the rural examination, some older candidates must be screened out to ensure that future officials are fresh blood.

Tu Jingnian didn't go down for inspections either, intending to put more pressure on them. After sitting for a while, he left quietly. There was still a backlog of government affairs to be dealt with in the Imperial Study, and he didn't have time to talk to this group of future officials. time consuming.

It wasn't until Gao Zhen, who had been guarding the Tai Chi Hall, came back to report that some scholars had almost finished their examination papers, that Tu Jingnian returned to the Tai Chi Hall. Then, one after another, someone put down their pens and handed in the papers directly , Tu Jingnian asked Quan Fu to bring some papers over, and glanced at them himself. He himself seldom writes any policy theory, let alone stereotyped writing, and is not very interested in it. Therefore, he doesn't care about rhetoric, just Looking at the actual content inside, very few people would be bold enough to come up with something new and unconventional. Therefore, Tu Jingnian read several articles, most of which were well-balanced, but the writing was also very sophisticated, some with brilliant writing, and some He is mature and prudent, he can't see what is good or bad, he didn't pick any words, he didn't look at any format, after reading it, he handed it over to a few people who presided over the examination papers, and saw that almost all the papers were handed in by the following people, each one watched his nose , looking at the heart, sitting there, waiting for the next instruction, Tu Jingnian said a few words on the occasion, and then directly announced the banquet.This is also a common practice. The palace examination never selects people, but it just gives this group of people the title of disciple of the emperor, and then rearranges the rankings. If there is no accident, it is generally not very different from the general examination.Therefore, regardless of whether they are first-class and second-class Jinshi or third-class Jinshi in the future, they are already Xinke Jinshi. Therefore, it is natural to give Qionglin Banquet to these Xinke Jinshi.

Tu Jingnian was naturally going to preside over the Qionglin Banquet. He sat on it and looked at the faces below who were mostly young. Their faces were filled with expectations for the future, and suddenly he felt a little envious. I've grown old, and I can't get back the mentality I had back then.
