Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 479
After the palace examination, Wang Chengwei was taken to the side hall next to the Hanyuan Hall.

After about two sticks of incense, he was also led into the side hall by the eunuch.

Maybe it was because of his nervousness after the face saint, Gu Kuang just said hello to Wang Chengwei, and then sat on the chair in a daze.

After another two sticks of incense, Wei Yingwu was also brought in.

From morning to noon, and then to afternoon, the time for the Jinshi Palace Examination became shorter and shorter, and some people even came in after a little while.

At this time, everyone is a competitor. After all, there are only a few best positions. If there is only one short position and you cannot choose a satisfactory position, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life.

At this time, all the new Jinshi were sitting in the side hall dully, waiting until the last Jinshi finished the examination.

The eunuchs served tea and waited for about half an hour, probably because the emperor was making a list of Jinshi.

Finally, Yu Chaoen, the eunuch of Si Shangshujian, came in. After entering the door, he said to Wang Chengwei:
"Duke Zhuangyuan, His Majesty announces you to enter the palace!"

Everyone's eyes turned to Wang Chengwei. The number one scholar said that Wang Chengwei was still No.1 in the imperial examination!
This No. [-] Scholar deserved his name, and everyone was convinced. If it wasn't in the palace, everyone would definitely be applauding Wang Chengwei.

Wang Chengwei nodded to the crowd one by one, accepting everyone's congratulations, and then followed Yu Chaoen into the Hanyuan Hall again.

This time there were a few more people in the hall. One of them was an official with a square face in a red and purple official robe standing under the imperial steps. Behind this official was a younger official holding a stack of documents.

After Wang Chengwei saluted the emperor, Li Fuguo said in a sharp voice:
"Wang Chengwei of Longyou, hand-picked by His Majesty, ranked first in the imperial examination!"

Li Fuguo looked at Wang Chengwei at the foot of the imperial steps with a gloomy gaze. It was obvious that his strategy just now had offended the biggest eunuch around the emperor.

But Wang Chengwei didn't care about Li Fuguo's eyes, he just thanked the emperor.

At this time, the emperor asked the middle-aged official with a Chinese face: "Wei Shangshu, what are the vacancies of courtiers according to the Ministry of Officials?"

This official with a Chinese face is Wei She, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Wang Chengwei once heard about this person from Pei Mian.

It's just that Pei Mian didn't elaborate on why the Minister of the Ministry of Officials failed to enter the Zhengshitang Xuanma to worship the prime minister.

Wei She took the brochure handed over by the official selection doctor behind him, and said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, there is a shortage of imperial censors from the Qipin Palace."

Although Wei She only gave one option, it is already the highest official position that Xinke Scholars can choose.

The censor in the palace is the position that maintained court discipline in front of the Hanyuan Hall. The censor can also admonish the emperor, impeach ministers, and picket officials. He is very prestigious in the court.

Serving the censor from the palace of the seventh rank is still a Beijing official, that is, an official of Chang'an.

No matter in which dynasty, capital officials are more valuable than local officials.

And Chang'an City is the most prosperous city in this era, who wouldn't want to enjoy the prosperity of Chang'an City?
Although Xinke Jinshi can be the county magistrate of the lower county, the county magistrate of the middle county, and the county lieutenant of the upper county, these are all people-friendly officials who have to deal with the people, and they are positions that are tiring and difficult to achieve.

After leaving the capital, even if it is a new champion, it is unknown when he will be able to enter the eyes of the emperor again.

It is also possible to spend a lifetime outside Chang'an City.

At this time, Wang Chengwei said:

"Your Majesty, I don't want to be the censor!"

Everyone in the hall looked at him in surprise. Is there anyone who doesn't want to be a censor?

Others are rushing to be the censor, but Wang Chengwei, who was the first to select an official, is unwilling to be the censor?
The emperor's face was a bit ugly, and he offered the best position with good intentions, but Wang Chengwei didn't want it.

I only heard Wang Chengwei say:

"Han Feizi said: 'The prime minister must be from the state, and the strong general must be from the army'. Although I don't have the talent of a prime minister, I still want to do a few practical things for the people. I want to be an official close to the people!"

Now Li Fuguo looked at Wang Chengwei with sinister eyes, feeling even more afraid of this new champion in his heart.

This kid is also looking for death, if he is a censor in Beijing, he can't do anything to Wang Chengwei under the eyes of the emperor.

If he really wants to go out of Beijing to become a county magistrate, then Li Fuguo, who is the supervisor of the Shence Army, will have a way to make Wang Chengwei "surprise".

This kid is really looking for his own death!

Li Fuguo looked at Wang Chengwei in a happy mood, and had already planned a plan to intercept and kill him in his heart.

After the emperor heard what Wang Chengwei said, his face changed a lot, and he said:

"I heard that you led the Xinke Scholars to make a plan for the reconstruction of private houses?"

The emperor was indeed the emperor, and the emperor had heard about all these things Wang Chengwei did.

Wang Chengwei said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister and Tongke Jinshi raised a total of 200,000 yuan for the reconstruction of houses for the people of Chang'an. Before the money was handed over to Jingzhao Mansion, they had already rebuilt houses for 73 households."

Hearing Wang Chengwei's report was so detailed, the emperor was even more satisfied, which showed that Wang Chengwei had really done something, not just a gimmick to gain his reputation.

Li Heng asked Wei She, Minister of the Ministry of Officials:
"The number one scholar wants to be an official close to the people and benefit the people of one side, so I will naturally fulfill his love for the people."

"Near Chang'an, are there any vacancies for county magistrates?"

Now Wei She hurriedly asked Xuan Guanlang behind him to find him, only to hear the rustling of papers in the hall.

After a while, Wei She said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the magistrate of Zheng County in Huazhou is vacant, and Zheng County is the next county."

Li Fuguo's eyes lit up even more. Huazhou is near Tongguan. Although it is also in the Guanzhong area, it takes a long mountain road to take office. It is only appropriate for something unexpected to happen at this time.

But the emperor frowned and said, "No, no, Huazhou is too far away from Chang'an."

Then the emperor asked again: "What about the two counties in Chang'an City? Are there any job vacancies?"

Wei She immediately said: "Wannian County has vacancies from the county magistrate to the county magistrate, and now the affairs of Wannian County are managed by the Jingzhao Mansion, and the champion can be the Wannian county captain."

The emperor immediately said: "The last time Jingzhao Yin Cui Guangyuan played, he said that Jingzhao was short of manpower, and asked me to call him."

"Since the number one scholar has done the rebuilding of common people's houses in Chang'an before, this is a good thing for the people of Chang'an, so you can continue to do it."

"Wang Chengwei!"

"Chen is here!"

"I ordered you to be the Wannian county magistrate, temporarily in charge of county affairs, and help the people under the rule to have a warm winter."

Now everyone present was looking at Wang Chengwei, they didn't expect this number one scholar to be so honored!
Jing Zhaoyin is a first-level official of the prefectural governor. The Jing Zhao Mansion controls not only the city of Chang'an City, but also [-] counties inside and outside Chang'an City.

There are also two counties in Chang'an City, namely Chang'an County and Wannian County.

With Zhuque Street as the boundary, Chang'an County is to the west of Zhuque Street, and Wannian County is to the east of Zhuque Street.

These two counties also have county magistrates, county magistrates, and county lieutenants, and they are in charge of Chang'an City, so they are properly on the county.

According to the official selection system of the imperial court, even if you are a new scholar, you must start as an official from the seventh rank.

The county lieutenant of Shangxian County is from the seventh rank, so Wei She, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, took out the county lieutenant of Wannian.

However, the emperor directly appointed Wang Chengwei as the seventh-rank Wannian county magistrate, and did not set up a county magistrate, letting him take charge of county affairs.

Such an extraordinary appointment allowed Wang Chengwei to pass two levels, and he had traveled five years less than other new scholars.

Hearing this appointment, Wang Chengwei was also overjoyed.

He asked to be a local official in order to better open up a stronghold in the Central Plains.

As a county magistrate, he can become a stronghold for Longyou to infiltrate the Central Plains. Now that so many players want to enter the Central Plains, Wang Chengwei can become a top player in the ruling party like Cui Tao, Zeng Mu and others.

Unexpectedly, the emperor gave him a surprise and directly asked him to be Wannian county magistrate, in charge of Wannian county affairs.

In this way, Wang Chengwei can enjoy the bonus of being an official in Chang'an, and he can also place more players in Chang'an City!
This step of the imperial examination is the right bet!

Wang Chengwei immediately accepted the position and thanked the emperor.

At this time, Li Fuguo on the imperial steps had an ugly expression on his face, and Wang Chengwei became the prime minister of Wannian County, and the office of Wannian County was in Chang'an City.

More importantly, the emperor admired Wang Chengwei so much, it would be difficult to explain if he had an accident in Chang'an.

Thinking of this, Li Fuguo could only temporarily give up the assassination plan.

But another sinister plan came to Li Fuguo's mind.

Since Wang Chengwei wants to be an official in Chang'an, as long as some people are arranged to hinder him, he will definitely not be able to do anything.

When the emperor found out that the number one scholar was just a boastful guy, he would naturally alienate him and pay no attention to him.

At that time, I will find a way to get him impeached and completely drive him out of the officialdom!
Li Fuguo is quite familiar with this. He also has many allies in various government offices in Chang'an. Not to mention a small Wannian county magistrate, Li Fuguo, the governor of a prefecture, can suppress it!
After Wang Chengwei thanked him, he was taken to another side hall, and the Xinke Jinshi were awarded officials one by one. When the side hall was full of thirty Jinshi, Yu Chaoen, who was in charge of the secretary, walked into the side hall and announced the emperor's respect for the Xinke Jinshi. appointment.

Gu Kuang and Wei Yingwu were still No. 3 in the palace examination. Another player Jinshi also performed exceptionally in the palace examination and jumped to No. 4.

Gu Kuang, Wei Yingwu and this player all chose the position of censor in the palace.

Next, five Jinshi chose positions in the Six Divisions and Nine Temples, and chose to stay in Chang'an City as officials.

The rest of Jinshi will be released as officials.

When everyone heard that the number one scholar did not choose to be the censor, but became the Wannian county magistrate, everyone was very surprised.

When the eunuch who read out the decree left, everyone asked Wang Chengwei one after another.

After Wang Chengwei finished speaking, Gu Kuang and Wei Yingwu sighed and said:
"Brother Wang has great ambitions, we are not as good as you!"

Hearing that Wang Chengwei is temporarily in charge of county affairs, everyone congratulated him again!

Wang Chengwei is not only a super-rank official, but also a super-duty official. It can be said that he has been promoted two levels in a row!
Immediately afterwards, an official from the Ministry of Rites came to the Piandian and led the Xinke Jinshi to the Hanyuan Hall to thank him.

At this time, the Xinke Scholars were excited and began to look forward to the Qionglin Banquet after thanking you!
