Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 171 The Snake Hit Seven Inches (Part [-])
Gao Gong looked at Gao Yushi in some surprise, suddenly laughed, stroked his beard, nodded and said: "I thought you would say, why don't you just change to an obedient Governor Yingtian, or even do one thing without rest, The prefect of Huizhou has also been changed."

"Substitution?" Gao Wushi shook his head, and said: "Substitution itself is not impossible. The third uncle is a cabinet minister and also in charge of civil affairs. It doesn't matter if you change to the governor of Yingtian or the prefect of Huizhou, His Majesty will not do it." There is no approval. However, the replacement can only solve this matter, and our purpose is only to solve the Huizhou "Ren Ding Sijuan" case?"

Gao Wushi said sternly: "Just now my nephew said that the Huizhou 'Rending Sijuan' case is just a breakthrough. The purpose of this case is to send a signal to other people, and it can even be said to be an example to others! We just want to let everyone We all know: Even if it is only slightly related to the promotion of a whip method, the imperial court center will attach great importance to it, and it is absolutely not allowed to push back and forth and procrastinate. What should be done today must be done today. If you dare to delay until tomorrow, I will I dare to lower your evaluation by one level!"

Gao Gong laughed out loud when he heard that, pointed at Gao Wushi and said, "Looking at the way you point out Jiangshan, you look more like Yuanfu than Li Shilu, hahahaha!"

Gao Wushi's heart moved, and he thought to himself: My goal for your nephew is really to be this Yuansuke!
But on the surface, he was still quite reserved, he just apologized and said with a smile: "Uncle San was joking, my nephew hasn't even taken the child's birth exam yet..."

"You reminded me of this matter." Gao Gong rarely directly interrupted Gao Yushi's words, and said solemnly: "Now you have no fame, but you have been appointed to the Imperial Academy to accompany the crown prince. Although there is a lot of foreshadowing in this matter, you can count on yourself to stand out among a group of high-ranking officials' children with the book "Longwen Whip Shadow". However, Sanbo still wants to remind you that in my Ming Dynasty, only those who were born in the imperial examinations can win It’s the right way! My opinion is that you should find a time to go back to Xinzheng as soon as possible, at least you have to take a student test first, so that there won’t be too many gossips outside... Do you understand what I mean?”

Gao Wushi nodded, and said: "At first, I just thought that the imperial examination was not too urgent because I was young, but I never thought that this situation would happen before, so...it is indeed time to go back and take the exam." As he spoke, he gradually frowned.

Gao Gong had been paying attention to his expression, and he couldn't help asking: "Why, it's just a student test, aren't you afraid?"

Gao Wushi smiled wryly and said, "It's not because I'm afraid of failing the exam, but because I'm afraid of wasting time. Also, the county exam is in February, so I can't catch up with it this year."

Gao Gong glared at him, and said: "Even if you have time this year, you don't have to take the exam—this year is Geng Wu year, how can there be a county exam?"

Gao Wushi was stunned for a while, and then he remembered that even if it was just a mere district examination in the Ming Dynasty, the rules were quite complicated.

The county examination is the first examination of the boy's exam, and the method of setting up subjects in the Ming Dynasty: Scholars start their careers and take the boy's exam, so they must have a membership.However, in the Ming Dynasty, people who take the exam must be scholars with Confucian, official, civilian, military, craftsman, and medical records in the county. People from this county are not allowed to take the exam in other counties.

And the time for the boy's test is also regulated, it is two tests in three years, commonly known as the small test, also known as the small test.There are three levels from the county test to the government test and then to the Taoist test. Those who fail to pass the test can take the test again.Every year of Chou, Wei, Chen, Xu, and Yin, Shen, Si, and Hai, that is, the year of the year-old examination and scientific examination, the state and county will issue notices for the examination students.

The examination date is usually in February, and the state and county officials must show the examination period in January in advance.Candidates need to register at the county school or the county government office on time, fill in the name, age, place of origin, and the three-generation resume of parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents. , False name; net worth, non-prostitutes, excellent, Zao, slaves, servants and their descendants, only to be allowed to formally take the exam.

The identity verification is easy to handle, so Gao Wushi doesn’t need to worry about it, but it’s been half a month since February, and if he rushes back to Xinzheng now, he will definitely miss the exam period—no, this year, as Gao Gong said, there is no county exam to take.So even if you want to take the exam, you have to wait until next year.

Seeing this, Gao Gong waved his hand: "Okay, I just remind you to make preparations for this matter, so I won't mention it now." Both the fake servants and bachelors are under the door of the Imperial Academy, and when you get the official seal and waist badge, you should go to the Imperial Academy to meet the head of the academy."

Gao Wushi was taken aback for a moment: "Do you have to go today?" He asked again: "Who is the current master?" The noblest among the nobles.

A strange smile appeared on Gao Gong's face, and he uttered three words: "Zhang Fengpan."

"My uncle?" Gao Wushi was stunned for a moment, he really forgot about this - the position of who is called an Hanlin bachelor has a special meaning in Daming, and many important ministers who are about to be promoted are often placed in this position What about gold?Just like many assistant ministers promoted to the cabinet by the court, they are often placed in the position of minister of the Ministry of Rites first, and the Hanlin bachelor is similar.

When Gao Gong said this, Gao Yushi remembered that Zhang Siwei was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy before, and the procedure for Gao Gong's promotion was to be promoted to a bachelor of the Hanlin first, and then he also served as the right servant of the Ministry of Officials.Looking back now, Gao Gong's promotion has a deep meaning: with the Hanlin Bachelor, which is absolutely noble enough to serve as the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, people will not feel that they are not qualified enough-because the Hanlin Bachelor directly promoted the cabinet to the court It's not such a strange thing, for example, Zhang Juzheng was recommended by Xu Jie to enter the cabinet directly from the Imperial Academy.

And Zhang Siwei was originally a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and he was regarded as the biggest official of the Hanlin Academy besides the Bachelor of the Imperial Academy.At the same time, there is another deep meaning here: since the Hanlin Bachelor can directly be promoted to the cabinet, then Zhang Siwei will serve as a Hanlin Bachelor for one term. After three years of examination, he will also have the experience of being in charge of the Ministry of Officials. , then after being recommended by Gao Gong, it is basically a certainty to directly enter the cabinet through Ting Tui.

It turns out that the third uncle has long been interested in recruiting the uncle into the cabinet... I'm still a little tender-no, I'm still not familiar with these systems and unspoken rules of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty!

After figuring this out, Gao Wushi became happy, and said with a smile: "The prince told me yesterday that I should go to the palace to meet him today, and I agreed, but since the Imperial Academy has its own law, how can my nephew not Don’t dare to break the rules, go to the Hanlin Academy to meet the head of the academy first, and then go to the palace before it’s too late.”
