Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

You must know that Duan Jiong looks like a gentle, courteous and modest gentleman on the surface, and he speaks softly and respectfully to his wife.

Today I don't know why, when I heard from my wife that I lost my job as the Secretary of General Affairs because I went to take part in the examination, and the salary that I was supposed to get was nowhere to be found, I was a little flustered.

Coupled with the fact that his wife kept saying that he didn't have that luck, Duan Jiong suddenly felt a deep worry rising from his heart.

Indeed, what to eat tomorrow is the burning question.

That's all, the crux of the problem is what my wife said just now, don't wishful thinking, if there is no life, Duan Jiong's heart moved, thinking of something bad.As far as he knew, six people already knew about the exam questions that Su Mu got and himself.

The colleagues in the experience department all swear in blood that they did not leak the exam questions, and Wu Shiqi has no possibility of leaking. As for Su Mu, because of his special status, no one can bribe him.

On the surface, it seems that there is no possibility of the title being leaked.

But things in the world are not afraid of [-], just in case. If I can figure out a way to get the problem out of Wu Shiqi's old fool, so can others!

As more people know about the topic, it is inevitable that the news will be leaked.If things are exposed, the higher-ups will investigate them.Maybe he still can't find Duan Jiong and other colleagues, but the unlucky ones must be Su Mu and Wu Shiqi.

However, in this way, the results of this period's general examination will inevitably be invalidated.

No matter how good you are in the exam, it is useless.

Could it be that we have to wait two years?

Now, in order to participate in this examination, he has already lost his official position as the Secretary of the General Administration, and he has no basis for settling down in the capital.Of course, he can still go to Jiao Fang, and with the support of Jiao Shilang, it is not difficult to find another job to make ends meet.But after so many years in the officialdom, Duan Jiong really knows the rules of the official game in the Ming Dynasty very well.

Such a shocking fraud occurred in the examination room, not only all the suspects will be arrested and sent to prison for interrogation, even the two chief executives will be dismissed from office and sent to prison.

Without Jiao Shilang's support, Duan Jiong doesn't know what to do in the future?

Thinking of this, the worry in my heart gradually grew, and it was unstoppable.

Not thinking about it, Duan Jiong comforted his wife, drank a few sips of cold water, and then lay down on the bed.

I had many strange dreams that night, but I slept very restlessly.

************************************************** *

Su Mu also couldn't sleep well. After talking with Mr. Wu, he always felt uneasy.

This matter involved six people, and if there were too many people, it would be complicated. If something really happened, once it was investigated, it would definitely find Mr. Wu and himself in the end.

At that time, even if Su Mu had a hundred mouths, he still couldn't speak clearly.

Lying on the bed at night, Su Mu felt great pain: Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, I, Su Mu, just casually said three questions, which turned out to be the questions of this subject's general examination.What's more, Wu Shiqi and the other governors took it seriously and made serious preparations.

The ancient imperial examinations were the foundation of a country's rule, and an important means for the ruling class to win over intellectuals and absorb new blood.To put it bluntly, the civil service system of the Ming Dynasty was built on this foundation.Anyone who tries to challenge the imperial examination system will be crushed by all classes.Even if he, Su Mu, is the emperor's confidant, there will be no exception.

Even if Su Mu was lucky, the other colleagues were tight-lipped and did not leak the news.

However, after working with them for a few months, Su Mu is naturally very clear about the knowledge of the governors of the experience hall.These people are all highly talented people, and after several years of ups and downs in the officialdom, they are no longer comparable to ordinary pedantic and pedantic masters.

Even if you don't know the exam questions, if you take the exam with real skills, Duan Jiong is at least [-]% to [-]% sure that he will be a Jinshi, and the others are still [-]% to [-]% sure.It's just that Governor Weng and Niu Deshui's education is weaker, and they are only [-]% to [-]% sure.

Now, Governor Weng has given up Jinshi and went home to be his squire.

With other abilities, if you have made sufficient preparations in advance, you may even be on the list.

It's enough to pass through one or two in the division, but now they all pass the test. No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel abnormal and inevitably arouses suspicion.

There has never been a shortage of picky people in this world.

This is still one of them, and more importantly, Su Mu also lost his head when he was in the examination room, and directly copied Kang Hai's papers from the original text. When the time comes, the examiner will see that the two papers are exactly the same, and there must be someone Cheating, have to check.

At that time, not only Su Mu, but also Kang Hai will die together.

These two things weighed heavily on Su Mu's head like a lead stone, which made him unable to sleep.

This night seemed particularly long.

After a night of insomnia, when Su Mu woke up the next day, he felt disgusted in his heart, so he didn't go out for a run anymore. After breakfast, he just sat in the room.

I can no longer read books, and I can no longer practice my handwriting.

It was not easy until noon, and when he saw a table full of food and wine, Su Mu had no appetite at all, he only ate half a bowl of rice casually, and stopped using chopsticks.

Xiaodie realized that Su Mu was wrong, and asked worriedly: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Su Mu: "Nothing, I just have no appetite."

Xiaodie: "Is the master not in good health, why don't you ask Zhao Hulu to invite a doctor back?"

Su Mu shook his head: "No need, I'm probably tired... By the way, what is Mr. Wu doing today?"

Xiaodie: "The old man went to the official department early in the morning?"

Su Mu was stunned: "What did he go to the Ministry of Officials for?"

Xiaodie: "My lord, you forgot that Mr. Wu closed the hall to take part in the examination, and now the exam is over. Mr. Wu said that he is still receiving the imperial salary and cannot eat at home. According to the imperial system, he has to go to the Ministry of Officials to sell his holidays." , to see if there are any new dispatches."

Su Mu was stunned: "After the examination, if he wins, wouldn't there be a re-examination and palace examination? At that time, the imperial court will naturally have other arrangements. Isn't he tossing for nothing? I think the officials will ignore him."

Although the experience of the Secretary of General Administration is a low-level official position, it is still a real job, a seventh-rank official of the imperial court.Now the imperial court conducts a general examination every three years. For a hundred years, I don't know how many Jinshi it has taken, let alone the candidate candidates admitted by the provincial examination.There are many officials and few positions, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching behind a real shortage.It is easy for you to seal the hall, but it is difficult to go back.
