Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 265
Faced with Qin Hui's questioning and the unkind eyes of the Manchu ministers, Wei Zheng was very indifferent.

"Although Sandingjia has just entered the officialdom, they are all people who have read the scriptures."

This is irrefutable.

If you just won the three tripods, you may still be suspected of opportunism. After all, the palace examination does not test the scriptures at all, but the policy questions.

But the three tripods of this subject are all academic masters with strong roots. The champion, second place, and Tanhua are all in the provincial examination, and they are all the top five in the examination.

Being able to step on thousands of competitors all the way to kill, this must be true gold that is not afraid of fire!

To put it bluntly, I am afraid that many ministers in the court are not as high as their level of scriptures, because being an official and studying are completely different things.

Wei Zheng continued: "There are six officials in Japan, and apart from Sanding Jia, naturally, other people can be selected from other yamen."

"There are three experienced Japanese lecturers presiding over it, and Sandingjia is also a well-educated person. As long as you get used to it a little, you will definitely be able to take on the important task of a good Japanese lecturer."

Isn't this bringing the old with the new?

All the officials were silent now.

Originally, everyone regarded this reserved spot as something in their pocket, but according to Wei Zheng's words, it was reduced by half at once. Is this still enough to compete for?
But the current situation is not something they can do whatever they want, we have to see what His Majesty the Emperor means.

The most important thing is to finalize the Jingyan matter so that the emperor will not jump around again.

As for candidates... To be honest, this thing is not permanent.

Several people scrambled to carve up what was stolen from others, but no matter who snatched it, others would not think that it belonged to robbers, and everyone knew that it belonged to the original owner.

Similarly, the number of daily lecturers belonged to the Hanlin Academy.

How many years did it take the six departments to turn the snatched assistant examiner candidates into their "routine"?
Therefore, one or two times cannot determine the candidate for this day's speaker. As long as the scripture feast is re-opened, everyone will still have a chance to compete.

Everyone looked up one after another, only to see Li Gan lost in thought.

"Three Tripod Armor..."

"In the past few days, I have often called the number one scholar into the palace, and I have also heard a lot of scriptures from him."

Li Gan replied thoughtfully: "If Zhuge edited it, it would be fine."

"And the other two editors are also very knowledgeable, why don't you count them together, let me listen and try."

Listen to it and try it, do you think this is picking fish from the vegetable market?
The ministers slandered in their hearts, but they were very happy on the surface. After all, His Majesty the Emperor said so, it means that he has completely admitted the matter of Jingyan.

If there are three fewer places, then there will be three fewer. In order to prevent him from going back on his word, everyone hastened to finalize the matter.

"Your Majesty, the other three Japanese officials will be selected from other yamen in the court?"

Qin Hui looked up at His Majesty the Emperor, and other officials were no exception.

"can."

Li Qian also knew that if these people were not given some benefits, they would definitely not do it.

"The other three daily lecturers must select officials who have served in counties and counties of the state."

Li Gan added another restriction to them.

The ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, and many of them could actually see what the emperor was planning.

This kind of thing can't be done, after all, it has been practiced for hundreds of years, and there has never been such a rule in the selection of Japanese lecturers!

But if you want to say yes, it’s okay. After all, the Japanese officials have never been selected from the yamen other than the Imperial Academy before. The officials’ own buttocks are not clean. At this time, there is no position to refute and accuse His Majesty the Emperor.

"Qin Xiang, and Ding Shilang, you should discuss with Waichao and come up with a list for my review."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ding Rukui, the left servant at the door, responded first, and then Qin Hui also came back to his senses, and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Okay, since that's the case, let's disperse first."

After Li Gan finished speaking, he didn't continue to argue with these ministers, but got up and left directly.

Now the other officials didn't care about Li Gan's words anymore, and began to figure out how to grab one of the remaining three places.

At this point, the matter of Jingyan is basically a certainty...

In recent days, the re-opening of the sutra banquet has been continuously fermented in the court, no matter whether it is a big official or a small official, almost all have heard the wind.

As for Zheng Xuan, the academician in charge of the Hanlin Academy, every time the morning court ended, he would wait outside the Chengtian Gate, looking eagerly at the many adults passing by, hoping to find out some news from them.

Today is no exception.

In the past, many adults in the court almost regarded him as a little transparent, and even if asked, they mostly just responded casually.

But today was different. Some officials greeted Zheng Xuan with a smile when they saw him from afar.

"Haha, Bachelor Zheng, come to Chengtianmen for tea today?"

"Xueshi Zheng, the old man's study room ran out of water a while ago, and lost a few copies of ancient books. I just heard that the Imperial Academy has them. I wonder if I can borrow the old man to copy them..."

In addition to those who greeted and made friends, most of them were officials who expressed their congratulations to Zheng Xuan.

Although it was only early in the morning to prevent the Imperial Academy from appearing as a lecturer, but now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, there is no need to make a dead face with others.

The Hanlin Academy now has three quotas for daily lecturers. Although it may not return to the previous scale, it probably won't be in the same decline as it is now.

At this time, it's better to have a good relationship. As for the dirty things in the past... Of course, it's nothing to worry about.

Zheng Xuan was still a little dazed at first, but after seeing so many adults in scarlet robes coming to congratulate him, no matter how dull he was, he could detect something wrong.

At this moment, Zheng Xuan was both excited and delighted, but he couldn't lose his composure in front of these adults.

"Thank you...thank you, my lords..."

Zheng Xuan didn't ask anything clearly, so he became a little incoherent with excitement.

Seeing his suppressed appearance, many ministers all laughed...

After the people here left one by one and the crowd dispersed, Zheng Xuan returned to the Imperial Academy with the news he had heard.

~~
Before Zheng Xuan came back, this place was already a little lively.

Officials are very sensitive to any news that may lead to their promotion, no matter when it is.

When Zheng Xuan came back, he happened to see a few old Hanlin officials directing the officials below to close the gate and keep them out.

"Several adults wait a moment."

Zheng Guan hurried over, his face full of puzzlement: "It's broad daylight, why do you close the door?"

Did you see anyone else outside?
"Naturally, it is necessary to keep those flatterers and those who follow the wind at the door!"

An old Hanlin behind the door snorted coldly, the person he was referring to was self-evident.

This is equivalent to pointing at the nose and swearing at someone. The few officials outside turned red on the spot, yelling and turning away.

Zheng Xuan looked profusely, what's going on?This has not yet returned to its previous grand occasion, and started to quarrel with other officials?

"Several adults stay behind."

Zheng Xuan hurriedly went up to persuade him to stay. Several officials saw that he, the boss of the Imperial Academy, was like this. What else could they say?

Besides, Zheng Xuan wasn't the one chasing him just now, and he couldn't take his anger out on him.

But no matter what, the treatment they received just now always made these people feel uncomfortable. They just chatted a few words and then hurriedly left.

"There is no imperial edict issued yet, and I dare not jump to conclusions."

Zheng Xuan said goodbye to them with a smile: "If the imperial decree comes in another day, you adults can come again..."

After sending these people away, he returned to the Hanlin Academy. The expressions of the old officials from the Hanlin Academy just now were not very good, and some of them just turned around and left with a cold snort. They didn't give him any face as a bachelor .

Zheng Xuan laughed dryly, but couldn't say anything.

His bachelor in charge was not promoted step by step from the Imperial Academy, but was transferred from other yamen by the imperial court when the Imperial Academy was not behind.

As a result, many proud old Hanlin officials didn't want to see him at all, and didn't take his words seriously.

And Zheng Xuan couldn't do anything to these people, because almost all of them were officials who were about to retire, or had already retired and remained in the Imperial Academy.

These people have no need for promotion, and they don't look down on the salary of the three melons and two dates in the Imperial Academy. They stay here for their feelings and affection.

Now that Zheng Xuan's actions have ruined their feelings and memories of the Imperial Academy, of course they will give him a slap in the face.

Zheng Xuan also knew how powerful these people were, so he never provoked them in the past.

Older officials are more respected by other officials, let alone the old Hanlin who are famous for their nobleness?

You can't beat them, you can't scold them, and the imperial court has nothing to do with these weird people, so they can only continue to enshrine them here.

And Zheng Xuan is almost the nanny of these old men...

Zheng Xuan actually knew this vaguely, he walked through the gate with complicated emotions, and walked inside.

After just walking a few steps, Zheng Xuan gradually forgot the unhappiness at the door just now.

Today's Hanlin Academy has changed from the dullness of the past, and has gradually become more energetic.

Even the passing officials walked more lightly.

Zheng Xuan came all the way to the Zhuangyuan hall. According to the news he got, Zhuge Liang, Bao Zheng, and Wang Hua would be the candidates for the Japanese lecturer.

But there are still many requirements and regulations for the position of daily lecturer, and you must explain it clearly to them...

It's just that from a long distance, Zheng Xuan could hear the constant conversations coming from the Zhuangyuan Hall.

When he approached, he found that many old Hanlin had already come here.

When dealing with Zheng Xuan, they were like vicious and vicious old men, and they basically had no good looks.

But when facing Zhuge Liang, these people turned into kind and kind grandfathers next door, smiling brighter than the other.

Zheng Xuan felt a little blocked in his heart, but he also knew that this was a normal phenomenon.

He, the head of the academy, is just an outsider, but Zhuge Liang is different.

As far as Zheng Xuan knew, there were two main sources of officials in the Hanlin Academy in the past. One was the Shuji scholars who had passed the final assessment and stayed in the academy after studying in the academy for three years.

The second is Sanding Jia who was admitted to the hospital after the palace examination.

That is to say, even in the past, Zhuge Liang was an official from the Hanlin Academy who was most rooted and popular.

In addition, seniority among civil servants is also very serious.

In addition to discussing the size of the official position, it is also about family background, seniority and so on.

If in a county, the sheriff summons the chief officials of all the counties below, the second official, and other miscellaneous officials to come to the county yamen for a meeting, then when waiting for the sheriff, the officials will definitely rank themselves up and down first. .

Since their official positions are not very different, all can only be judged by their background. Officials with Jinshi background can wait in the inner hall, but those officials with Juren background... generally can only wait in the outer hall.

There is also a lot of difference in the inner hall, and there is a big difference between Jinshi.

The seniority of the third-class and the third-class is judged together, and the seniority of the second-class and the second-class is judged together. As for the first-class... the officials in the counties below are basically not from the first-class. All have to be given a local position of the sixth rank.

These seniority rankings also exist among Beijing officials, and they are even more serious than local officials.

The top-ranked ones are naturally Yijia, and the top of Yijia is the champion.

Officials with a top-ranked background can be said to be extremely arrogant. If their superiors were from the top three, they might feel uncomfortable in front of these people.

And there is another kind of more arrogant people among the champions, that is, Zhuge Liang, who has won three yuan in succession.

Xieyuan, Huiyuan, and Zhuangyuan, these three yuans are also called big three yuans. Whenever there is an event such as a civil official banquet, this kind of people can break through the general official position and seniority restrictions, and become an existence that others look up to.

Knowing this, it is not difficult to explain why these old scholars regard Zhuge Liang, a newcomer, as a treasure.

Zheng Xuan tidied up his mood, put a smile on his face again, and came to the crowd.

He didn't beat around the bush, but directly stated his intentions: "Just now at the court meeting, His Majesty has decided to reopen the sutra banquet, and appointed Sanding Jia of Jinke as the lecturer on the sutra feast day."

After he finished speaking, he thought that these old Hanlins would be very excited, but everyone seemed to know it already.

Only then did Zheng Xuan come to his senses, maybe the officials who came over just now reported the letter to them.

Zheng Xuan secretly cursed in his heart, no wonder they all came here at this time, they are all so noble on weekdays, don't they all want to come and climb the pole now?
"Thank you, Master of Light, for reminding me."

Zhuge Liang came up to thank him, and then said modestly: "Although Xiaguan doesn't know how to be worthy of His Majesty's attention, I will definitely treat the errands of Japanese officials with caution, and ask the Guangshi and other adults for advice."

Looking at Zhuge Liang in front of him, Zheng Xuan's mood also inexplicably improved.

Who doesn't like such a promising, humble and polite junior?
At least it's much more pleasing to the eye than those old men in Yiqi.

"I came here just to talk to you about the matter of talking about the official today."

Zheng Xuan smiled and nodded with him, and then told a small official at the door: "Go and invite Bao Bianxiu and Wang Bianxiu to come over."

These two are also going to serve as daily lecturers, so why not tell them the precautions together.

"Yes, my lord."

The miscellaneous officials ran out quickly, leaving only the full house.

The other old Hanlin looked at Zheng Xuan very unkindly. After all, the former Hanlin Academy held all the six-day lecturing positions in their hands, but now they have lost half of them.

However, although these old Hanlin were stubborn, they were not overbearing and unreasonable. They also knew that Zheng Xuan couldn't get into the early court at all, and they couldn't make decisions about these things.

After a while, Bao Zheng and Wang Hua rushed over after receiving the news.
