This censor can handle it, he really sprays when something happens

Chapter 53 Seeking a Name!Selection of censors in the palace and supervision of censors
Yuxianlou is located in the most prosperous area of ​​Zhuque Street, and it is the most elegant restaurant in Shengjing.

To the west, it is adjacent to Fangxie Tower, a favorite place for literati and inkmen.

To the east, it is adjacent to the Luluo Silk and Satin Village, where the noble ladies and ladies of Shengjing often visit.

Yuxianlou was not originally called this name. It is said that more than 70 years ago, a fairy once came here to eat wine.

Since then, the name of the restaurant has been changed to Yuxianlou.

It is also because of the rumors that immortals have visited that the scale of Yuxian Tower has grown bigger and bigger.

For decades, it has been the top restaurant in Shengjing.

Men of letters, children of aristocratic families, high-ranking officials and wealthy people, all banquets for important guests will be held here.

Today, the private room at No. [-] Tianzi in Yuxian Tower was booked out.

Under Xiaoer's leadership, Li Qing walked to Tianzi No. [-] private room on the fifth floor.

During the time in the palace, Li Qing has been thinking about a problem.

As an official in the court, do you require a name?

Then he came up with the answer.

If you want to make a statement, you must ask for a name.

A word from a Confucian master is regarded as a classic by scholars all over the world.

If Li Qing had no fame and prestige, no one would accept his theory in the future.

It is not conducive to Liyan, and it is not conducive to his dissemination and improvement of Confucianism in this world.

Therefore, when he was in Qianyuan Hall, he only participated in the book of Emperor Tianfu for a small matter.

Don't do good because it is small, and don't do evil because it is small. As an emperor, you really need to abide by it.

Emperor Tianfu didn't confirm that the officials would disperse the court without having anything to do, and it was indeed wrong.

But just a reminder is enough, there is no need to go to the point where Shanggang has a copy of the towering Fudi.

The reason why Li Qing still decided to copy the book of the Emperor of the Towering Talisman before leaving the Qianyuan Hall had two purposes.

First, ask for a name.

As his reputation gets higher and higher, his theories and ideas can be more easily accepted by scholars.

It is conducive to establishing words, and is conducive to spreading and improving the principles of sages.

Second, self-pollution.

An official who has no selfishness but wholeheartedly seeks the well-being of the common people will be liked by the emperor.

But again, precisely because this official is so perfect and unreal, as perfect as a sage alive, he will definitely be feared and guarded by the emperor.

People have emotions and desires, and no emperor would believe that there are officials like sages in the world.

If there is, what he seeks and seeks must be greater.

If Li Qing wants to use the court to benefit the common people in the world, and if he wants to use the court to accomplish virtue, meritorious service, and voice, he must gain the emperor's trust.

As an emperor, I am not afraid of what you want, but I am afraid that you have no desires.

An official who wants something is often the most liked and trusted by the emperor.

Li Qing took advantage of the little things in the court to create a famous image for himself.

Named after straight!

At this time, the private room on the fifth floor of Yuxian Building.

Kong Dexiang, who was a typical Ludi man, was waiting for Li Qing's arrival with a group of new scholars.

Almost half of the Jinshi in the imperial examination this year are here.

The importance of Yushitai in the court has been emphasized countless times by the elders in their family.

Once entering the Yushitai, the minimum is to be a supervisory censor from the eighth rank, and if you are lucky, you may become a servant censor from the seventh rank.

In addition to being awarded the No. [-] and No. [-] among the editors of the Seventh Rank Hanlin Academy, for other Jinshi who need to pass many exams before being selected as the Ninth Rank Sesame Official, it is equivalent to reaching the sky in one step.

In the private room, while waiting for Li Qing to attend the appointment, the Xinke Scholars chatted privately in twos and threes.

"Brother Sima, why are you here?" said Song Gongwen, head of Yangshan Academy, one of the seven great academies of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and a direct student of the great Confucian king Lin Fu.

Opposite Song Gongwen, sat Sima Boyan, the grandson of Sima Yan, the prime minister of the current dynasty.

Sima Boyan raised his glass and touched Song Gongwen. After drinking a glass of wine, he smiled slightly and said:
"Only the top three in the palace examination can be awarded official positions. Although my grandfather was the prime minister, if I want to be an official in the court, I have to go through layers of screening and compete with previous Jinshi.

Everyone is a person with a family background, and no one is worse than the other.If the competition continues like this, I don't know how many years it will take to become a sesame official.

His Majesty ordered Li Qing, the number one scholar, to select people from the new subjects to enter Yushitai. This is an opportunity for me, how can I miss it?

What's more, now everyone knows what Yushitai means in the court.All the major families and factions tried their best to arrange personnel to enter. "

Song Gongwen's complexion was not very good, he shook his head and sighed:
"To be honest, I still can't figure out why Li Qing, a mere commoner, was able to get three yuan!

I have followed my teacher since I was a child, and I have memorized the classics of sages backwards and forwards.Not as good as Kong Dexiang, not as good as Wang Yan, not as good as Brother Sima, I also recognize you.

But the four of us were all overwhelmed by Li Qing, I am really not reconciled.

This time, if my father hadn't urged me to come to the appointment, I wouldn't want to come here at all. "

Song Gongwen is too proud, known as Wang Linfu's favorite student, he has been placed with great hopes since he was a child.

In the end, he couldn't accept being compared to a "mud-legged boy" from a commoner background.

Sima Boyan patted Song Gongwen on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Song, look more open, and be more open-minded.

We are inferior to Li Qing in terms of poetry and articles, sage principles, and policy theories.

It's not as good as it is, we have to admit it!The big deal is to study hard in the future and catch up.

Look over there, isn't Tanhualang Wang Yan also leaving the editor of the Imperial Academy of the seventh rank, and came here?

Kong Dexiang, who was second in the list, even became the palace servant Yushi of Yushitai early on. "

Song Gongwen didn't reply, just drinking silently.

Seeing this, Sima Boyan was secretly disdainful.

He originally wanted to make friends with Song Gongwen, so that he could have many friends in the court in the future.

Who would have thought that Song Gongwen's tools were so small that it would be difficult to achieve great things.

Sima Boyan silently gave Song Gongwen a label in his heart that he was not worth making friends with.

Holding the wine glass, he went to find other Jinshi to chat and drink.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

There was a knock on the door, Xiao Er pushed open the door of the private room, and led Li Qing, who was wearing a blue censor uniform, over.

All the Jinshi in the private room stopped chatting immediately, and turned their eyes to Li Qing in unison.

"Evergreen is here."

Kong Dexiang spoke first and welcomed Li Qing to the main seat.

The rest of the Jinshi also bowed one after another.

"I met Mr. Li."

23 days ago, all the people present were candidates for the imperial examination.

Twenty-three days later, Li Qing was already an official at the sixth rank, serving as the censor at the censor's station, and had the power to hear rumors and supervise all officials.

When they saw Li Qing, they had to salute respectfully.

Between the two, there is already a difference between clouds and mud.

No matter how great their background is, they cannot make up for it.

Except for Kong Dexiang, who had a good personal relationship with Li Qing, everyone else was filled with bitterness.

"Meet everyone in the same year."

Li Qing also meticulously returned the salute to the Jinshi present.

After the ceremony was over, Li Qing said: "Thank you all for coming here in the same year, and I will get straight to the point.

Today, the official will select three censors from the palace and ten supervisor censors from among you.

I hope that you will introduce your own situation in the same year, so that I can weigh and screen. "
