high official

Chapter 525 The Examiner
"Then..." Er Hei, sweaty, lost his voice: "Then the sky must be pierced!"

"This has been a bad rule for many years. Those big figures in the court have been tested to cultivate cronies. And these notes must not only be given to the adults, maybe they are only part of it." Wu Wei was also frightened, not knowing where his adults came from Loyalty and a sense of justice, but this is the rhythm of stabbing a hornet's nest!Quickly persuaded him to dispel this idea: "When the time comes, my lord will definitely offend the government and the public!"

"Hehe..." Wang Xian changed the subject with a smile, "I was just joking."

"My lord, this kind of joke can't be taken." Only then did Wu Wei and the two heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly wiped off their sweat and said, "People will die."

"That's enough, let's go, I'm the kind of person who doesn't know the importance." Wang Xian waved his hand, not letting the two of them talk any more, and said in a deep voice: "From this point of view, I guess I might have to Get away for a while."

The two nodded in agreement.It is impossible for those big shots to aim at nothing. Since the note is handed over to the adults, [-]% of the adults will have something to do with this meeting, so naturally they have to make preparations early.

Wang Xian pondered for a moment, and made a series of arrangements for his absence. When the two of them took the order to leave, his heart not only did not settle down, but became heavier... He found that once he was gone, the whole Beizhen would be disturbed. The division is in a state of defense, and no one can resist Ji Gang's despotic power!Are they allowed to destroy their business?No, absolutely not!
After pondering in the dark for a while, Wang Xian finally made up his mind, and said in a deep voice, "Prepare the horse!"

"It's so late, where are you going?" Zhou Yong asked softly while ordering his horses to be prepared.

"Go to Zhu Liu's house!"

.

In that room, Mr. Zhu Liu had already fallen asleep, and when he heard the report from the housekeeper, he couldn't help but helplessly said: "Is this guy a night owl? Every time he comes to call the door at midnight." Even so, he quickly put on his clothes and got up. Meet Wang Xian in the front hall.

"Sorry, I disturbed Liu Ye's lucid dream again." Wang Xian lowered his posture this time.

"Hehe, I don't feel sleepy when I'm old, so it doesn't matter if I don't sleep for a while." Zhu Liu said with a smile: "It's really hard for you to have to rest in the middle of the night."

"I'm ashamed, Liu Ye should call me brother..." Wang Xian sighed, looked at Zhu Liu through the light, and found that his complexion was much better than before. "How is sixth master recently?"

"Since I stepped down from the errand of Fusi in Beizhen, I have no official and a light body. I go to bed early and get up early every day to practice and enjoy the happiness of my family. Such a life is really not for a god." Zhu Liu said with a smile: "Said When I get up, I have to thank Brother Wang for taking over my mess." He said seriously: "I have heard about what my brother has done recently, and they are all things that I have wanted to do but have not dared to do over the years. Since ancient times, heroes have been born as teenagers, this courage is really admirable!"

"I was also forced to do nothing. If I didn't take advantage of the three fires when the new official took office, I made up my mind to plow the courtyard and sweep the holes from the beginning, but I couldn't do it later." Wang Xian smiled bitterly: "It's just that the road is one foot tall, The devil is ten feet high, I'm afraid I will be transferred from the mountain."

"How do you say it?" Master Zhu Liu said with a serious expression.

"It's very possible, I'm going to be admitted to the Tribute Academy to supervise the exam." Wang Xian sighed.

"That's it..." Mr. Zhu frowned and said, "There is no one in Beizhen Fusi who can stand up to him, not even Lao Jiu."

"Yes." Wang Xian said earnestly, "So I'm here to ask the sixth master for help, to see if there is any way to make it through this time."

"This..." Sixth Master Zhu wondered, "It's not that I don't want to help, it's that even if I'm still in Beizhen Fusi, it's not enough."

"Can sixth master ask fourth master for a favor?" Wang Xian asked softly.

"My fourth brother..." Master Zhu Liu didn't expect Wang Xian's idea. After thinking about it, he felt that he still had to help Wang Xian, otherwise the previous investment would be in vain.On the contrary, if he helped out this time, no matter how effective it was, Wang Xian would have to accept his favor.But thinking about it, whether it can be done is another matter: "If Dudu Ji is not there, his words can still be effective, but if Dudu Ji is here, I'm afraid it won't work." He said with a sigh: "And I four I'm afraid I won't dare to offend Ji Gang."

"You don't need fourth master to come forward, just find a way to delay it for a few days, and wait for me to come out." Wang Xian really has nothing to do, he left Zhu Liu's side, and the next stop is Zhang Niangniang's younger brother Zhang Yong's side. Right now I can only use a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and hope that the governor and fellow acquaintance can look at Zhang Niangniang's face and help me a little bit.As he said that, he got up and saluted: "In the future, I will never forget the kindness of Fourth Master and Sixth Master!"

"Your Excellency, you don't need to be like this," Master Zhu Liu hurriedly turned away to accept his courtesy, "How about this, I'll go to my fourth brother to discuss it tomorrow morning, and see if I can persuade him." If it wasn't for a direct conflict with Ji Gang , just delay, fourth master Zhu can still do it.Moreover, he and Zhu Jiu had already boarded Wang Xian's boat, so it was not impossible for his fourth brother to help. "Why didn't my brother come to Qingshou Temple to ask for help?"

"Hey, my teacher doesn't care about these mundane things." Wang Xian knew very well that the old monk Yao Guangxiao would not make a move until life and death were at stake, so he didn't think about him at all.

"That's true." Zhu Liu nodded and said: "Okay, my brother can go to the Gongyuan with peace of mind. I will do my best for the outside things." As for the result, I can only resign myself to fate...

"Thank you, Master Liu, for your generous help!" Wang Xian saluted again.

.

Early the next morning, a decree came from the palace, ordering Wang Xian to enter the palace as soon as possible.Wang Xian reckoned that the emperor summoned him either for Qi Dazhu's case, or for the examination.When he rushed to Beiyuan and waited outside Yitian Hall to be summoned, he knew it was the latter.Because he saw more than 40 civil and military officials waiting there, judging from his incomplete face-to-face experience, everyone should be called by the emperor for the same incident, and it must not be for Qi Dazhu's case,
Sure enough, after a while, the eunuch sent an order to them to go in. After seeing the emperor Ping, all the civil and military personnel saw that Ji Gang, the governor of Jinyiwei, and Lu Zhen, the minister of rites, stood in front of the emperor.

As soon as Zhu Di opened his mouth, all the civil and military officials knew what the emperor asked them to do. It turned out that they were acting as curtain officials for the examination.According to the regulations of the imperial court, the examination officials during the general examination are divided into inner curtain officials and outer curtain officials, collectively referred to as curtain officials.The reason why it is called the curtain official is that there is a door at the back of the Zhigongtang, and a curtain is added to separate it.The chief examiner and fellow examiners live in the inner curtain, and their main duty is to mark the papers.Its assistants are officials such as internal promotion and transfer, who are in charge of managing test papers and other matters, and also live in the inner curtain.There are much more people in the outer curtain, who are officials such as supervisors, external transfers, supervisors, inspections, palm collection, transcription, and supply.The officials of the outer curtain manage the affairs of the examination room.

At this moment, the chief examiner of the examination had already lived in the Gongyuan for a long time, but the rest of the candidates for the inner and outer curtain officials were not announced until now.But Wang Xian knew that the candidate had already been drawn up yesterday, and only in this way could he explain what was going on with those notes...

After the emperor finished speaking, Lu Zhen announced the appointment, Ji Gang was the chief examiner, and the rest of the officials had their own appointments. As for Wang Xian, he was assigned as an inspector to take charge of the examination matters in the examination room.Wang Xian smiled wryly in his heart, Chun Wei, who he thought he had missed, did not expect to participate in this way.But he was not at all excited about controlling the fate of thousands of candidates. Instead, his heart was shrouded in thick dark clouds... because it meant that he would be locked up in the Gongyuan for more than ten days. What if Ji Gang's people took the opportunity to counterattack?And that is simply a certainty!

He even felt that his name was probably added by Ji Gang. Thinking of this, he glanced at Dudu Ji who was standing by the emperor's right hand, and saw that Ji Gang was also looking at him coldly, his eyes full of cat and mouse. sneer……

While thinking wildly, he saw the emperor standing up. Wang Xian quickly collected himself, and heard Zhu Di say in a deep voice: "You should know that the imperial examination is a grand ceremony for the country's talents, which is related to the selection of talents, the prosperity of the country, and the stability of the country. It is said that the Ming Dynasty It is not an exaggeration to say that you are the top priority. You are all officials with a good official reputation, and you are also my trusted ministers. If this is not the case, how can I entrust you with the important task of the country's talent ceremony? Do you know what to do? ! "

"Your ministers must strictly abide by the law and not cross the threshold!" All the civil and military officials hurriedly said in unison.

"Is it enough to not go half a step beyond the thunder pool?" Zhu Di was dissatisfied with this answer, and his voice became more and more severe: "No, it's not enough! You have to keep your eyes open and catch all those scum who are trying to cheat! Let me select a group of talented people for the country through the Talent Show Ceremony, so that those with bad intentions will have nowhere to escape, and only then will you be considered competent!"

"The ministers will follow the instructions!" The ministers hurriedly bowed their heads to be taught.

"Go!" Zhu Di waved his sleeves and said nothing more.

Wang Xian followed other officials to bow to the leader's decree and withdraw from Yitian Hall.When he came outside the hall, Ji Gang turned around, and all the officials immediately stood still, waiting for the instructions of the director.Ji Gang saw that Wang Xian was also honestly bowing his head to listen, and then he said in a satisfied voice: "As the emperor instructed, the talent ceremony is related to the country, and whether the Spring Festival can be held fairly depends on whether you uphold a With a public heart, don’t overstep the threshold, and don’t let any fraudsters go!” After a pause, he glanced coldly at all the curtain officials, and said murderously: “This official puts ugly words first, whoever dares to cheat for personal gain, Just spend the rest of your life in prison!"

All the officials were already turned pale by the emperor's training, but they were even more silent at this moment, and they all obeyed their promises.Ji Gang was very satisfied with the results of what he said, and said with a calm expression: "According to the regulations, you will not be able to go home. When you leave the palace, you will live with me in the tribute courtyard. As for your bedding, soldiers will come to your home to pick it up." !" This was originally the meaning of the question, and everyone naturally had no objection, so they followed Dudu Ji out of Beiyuan, boarded several carriages waiting there, and headed towards the Gongyuan.
