Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 971
"It's the first time I've heard that Soochow has a censor surnamed Qian..."

"In the past, there was a governor who was confiscated and imprisoned... Could it be that he has something to do with that?"

"But how can a good censor take care of the middle-level ceremony?"

The practitioners under the altar looked at the scroll curiously, and Ying Baoyue also stared at the name of the last examiner written on the scroll together with everyone else.

Yushitai Yushi Zhongcheng under the jurisdiction of the temporary supervision censor, Qian Bofang.

"It's actually the impending supervisory censor?"

Chen Zichu frowned looking at the official position on the scroll. The six countries in the Great Wall still maintained a similar official system after the unification of the Qin Empire, so he could see the special status of the deputy chief examiner at a glance.

"Then it seems that this was originally a censor from the fourth rank," Ji Jiashu said, "it should be the censor temporarily selected by the imperial censor of Soochow for the middle-level ceremony."

The censor is a very special official position in the imperial court, led by the doctor censor, one of the three princes of the imperial court.

Doctor Yushi is Congyipin, who is responsible for supervising the dereliction of duty and illegal behavior of officials, and is also responsible for keeping the archives of the imperial court.Doctor Yushi works in Yushitai, and is assisted by Zhongcheng, the second rank Yushi.

The doctor censor has a high position and authority, and the judicial censor under the central court is in charge of judicial cases, and the imperial censor in the palace is in charge of court etiquette.

In the censor platform specially set up for the censor, the doctor censor is in charge of a number of supervisory censors, supervising the central and local officials, among which there are hundreds of officials in charge of supervising county and county officials. The governor of the state.

In addition, the censor doctor sent out temporary censors from time to time to monitor some important emergencies such as agricultural production, river repair, military food supply, and market order.

The so-called "temporary censor" refers to this kind of temporary censor, who is usually selected from the state governor to deal with some special situations.

The middle-level grand ceremony has obviously become a "big event" in Soochow this year.

Censor?
Ying Baoyue stared at the long list of official positions in front of the name she was familiar with.

She never knew that he would choose to take over the position of censor.

Regardless of the low rank of the censor, he has the power to supervise all officials, and ordinary officials fear him like a tiger.

The censor can be regarded as an extremely human minister if he is a doctor. When the prime minister is vacant, the doctor censor often takes over.

"It seems that this Qian Yushi is the supervisor specially set up by Doctor Yushi for this intermediate ceremony," Jiang Yuanyuan sighed, "Soochow is really interested in this intermediate ceremony."

"That's right," Ji Jiashu took a deep breath, and he felt a little blush when he thought of the small actions of Southern Chu officials in the preliminary ceremony that almost caused catastrophe.

Perhaps Soochow also absorbed experience and set up a supervisory post, which would serve as a warning to those Xiaoxiao who wanted to fish in troubled waters.

Zhao Guang listened to the compliments from the people around him, but his expression was not relaxed. As a county king with the qualifications to discuss politics, he knew that the Eastern Wu court had not actually set up a chief examiner in charge of supervision in the middle-level ceremony a month ago.

What changed all this was the unexpected entry of Xirong people a month ago, and the "accident" in which killers emerged from the cloud forest and almost attacked the gate of Ruyang City.

If he guessed correctly, there have been many moths and traitors in Soochow's originally self-confident officialdom.

It was precisely because of this awareness that his brother Wang made a decisive decision and added a chief examiner to the censor in this intermediate ceremony.

Although he didn't expect to be the candidate for the censor.

Chamberfang?Where did this guy come from?
Even if it was the governor of the state who was transferred temporarily, why did this person's name make him so unfamiliar.

The teenagers stared at the altar with piercing eyes, ready to take a good look at the newly appointed Deputy Chief Examiner Qian.

"Deputy Examiner Qian was unable to come to the scene today due to a temporary illness," Dongfang Yi said softly standing on the stage at this moment, "If you are curious, we will be able to see you at the middle-level ceremony in three days' time."

Didn't show up today?
There was a small commotion in the audience.

The teenagers who were looking forward to it were obviously a little disappointed.

"This Qian Yushi really seems to have jumped out of a crack in the rock," Chen Zichu joked, "Qian Bofang? This name is really interesting. I guess he is the eldest in the family."

Uncle, represents the eldest in the order of sibling ranking.

Ying Baoyue was silent for a moment when he heard the words. There were no other brothers in Qian Yushi's family, but he was indeed the eldest.

Chen Zichu thought this name was interesting, and if he knew his nickname and nickname, he would be surprised to what extent.

The premise is, if this person is really that person.

But since this person didn't show up today, she still can't be sure of the conjecture in her heart.

"Okay, the main examiner's introduction is over, gentlemen, please take a seat. I wish you success in three days."

The bell on the altar rang again, and Dongfang Yi and Wang Jiuyuan smiled at the young practitioners in the audience at the same time.

The ceremonial content of the Great Court Meeting is over, and the rest is a relaxing banquet.

Today's court meeting was full of twists and turns, and everyone was startled and exhausted at first glance. After hearing this, they all took their seats again under the leadership of the ceremony officials. The seats were already filled with drinks and delicacies.

Zhao Muren, King of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, led the ceremony officials to drink three rounds of wine, and then left after saying some words of encouragement. The atmosphere on Hanshan suddenly became more relaxed.The teenagers drank and punched, toasted and socialized everywhere, enjoying the pre-war carnival to the fullest.

Ying Baoyue and Ji Jiashu sat at the first table. As Ji Jiashu's noble son of the Southern Chu State Master, wave after wave of people came to toast him, but when they saw Ying Baoyue sitting next to him, their expressions were unavoidable. Awkward.

The master of the Northern Wei Dynasty left the banquet early with the disciples of Beihan Pavilion, Xu Bingqing also left early, and Ying Baoyue became the only woman at the wine table.

Many people bypassed her, but there were also many young practitioners who bravely walked towards her with wine glasses.

Ying Baoyue didn't stop drinking like everyone else imagined, she just drank when someone came to treat her politely.Ji Jiashu originally wanted to block the drink for her, but unfortunately found one thing, that is, no matter how much she drank, her complexion did not change.

Fortunately, there were not many people who dared to toast to Ying Baoyue. Chen Zichu, Jiang Yuanyuan, Zhao Guang and others sat and did not leave after the toast. The two princes were in charge. Soon, not many practitioners dared to approach the first table.

"I didn't expect that anyone would dare to propose a toast to you," Jiang Yuanyuan looked at Ying Baoyue, who was sitting at the head, who had been absent-minded, and said mysteriously, "The wind direction seems to have changed."

Back then at the Southern Chu Jixia Banquet, there were still many practitioners who did not take her seriously, but today no one would ignore her.

Many of the teenagers who came to toast before were practitioners from Nanchu who had participated in the primary ceremony.

Ying Baoyue smiled and clinked glasses with him, "It's all thanks to the bet His Highness made with me back then."

No, Jiang Yuanyuan thought, that bet was just the beginning.

It was she who changed all that.

At the same time, looking at the enthusiastic young people around him, Jiang Yuanyuan sensed that a new wind was forming.

The wind around her.

When the night was getting dark, the banquet was finally over, Ying Baoyue and others were the first table and the last to leave.

According to the rules, the first two to go up the mountain are the last to go down the mountain.

Seeing that the people around were almost gone, Ying Baoyue got up and glanced at Ji Jiashu beside her, "Let's go, your elder brother and the others should be waiting for us at the foot of the mountain."

"Mm," Ji Jiashu said, and the two walked down the mountain path accompanied by officials from the Eastern Wu Dynasty.

Most of the practitioners who went down the mountain first left. Soochow officials sent them to the foot of the mountain and turned back to the mountain to clean up the mess. There was only a short bush path of a hundred feet in front, and the faint light of torches could be seen not far away. It was Ji Qingyuan and others who were waiting.

Ying Baoyue and Ji Jiashu were about to pass through the bushes, when suddenly a flat male voice came from behind a rock.

"Ex-Princess Qin, please stay still."
