Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 943 Jingcha
After this "big plan", Shengjia returned to Beijing, and it was the turn of "Jingcha".

Cao Yong's distant cousin, Sun Langzhong, was defeated by "Jingcha".

The so-called "Jingcha" refers to the assessment of Beijing officials, and Cao Yong was not spared.It's just that Sun Langzhong is a fifth-rank official, and Shuntianfu Yamen is in charge of the school examination; Cao Yong, the second-rank servant, directly participates in the examinations of the Ministry of Officials and the Inspectorate.

That's right, the main means of this Beijing inspection are "listing questions", "introduction" and "conference".

The title is to write a statement about the government; the introduction is introduced to the emperor by issuing a resume from the Ministry of Officials;

This evaluation standard is not based on the subjectiveness of the chief, but a standard.

The "four grids" and "six methods" are used as the assessment standards.The so-called "four characters" refer to "talent", "shou", "government" and "year".

"Talent" is talent, which is divided into long, flat, and short, and Cao Yong is long; Ping, lazy, Cao Yong is diligent; "year" is age, divided into young, middle and old, Cao Yong is young.

The "six laws" refer to the lack of six aspects, "not cautious", "letting go of softness and doing nothing", "insufficient talent", "impetuous", "old age", and "illness".With the confirmation of these six aspects, they should be dismissed, demoted, and ordered to retire.

The results of "Jingcha" are divided into three grades, "competent", "diligent", and "service".

The "Four Qualifications" of Cao Yong are all good in the assessment, and the "Six Methods" are not in the slightest, so even though he has not made any significant achievements in the Ministry of Households in the past two years, the results of the Jingcha are very eye-catching, and he is the first class among Beijing officials. Competent".

With this assessment, Cao Yong is eligible for promotion after three years of his term.

Cao Yong's achievements are impressive, but Li Wei's assessment is terrible.

He is a donated official and a native of a rich man, so he is not as popular as his colleagues who are from a professional class.In addition, he has been in charge of treasury affairs for several years, and he is too diligent, which makes others lose a lot of oil and water, which arouses jealousy and hatred.

Li Wei returned to the fourth elder brother's family without much fanfare, so no one in the household department really gave Li Wei face.

When it comes to "Jingcha", among the "Four Frames", Li Wei is "Ping, Ping, Ping, Zhong".Anyone who reads this evaluation will think that he is a mediocre official.

Among the "Six Laws", Li Wei has three of them, "not cautious", "lack of talent", and "impetuous".The first one should be dismissed from office, and the latter two should be demoted.

He served in the Ministry of Household Affairs for three years, which was the critical moment for promotion. After the "Jingcha" has been completed, it may be a luxury to be re-elected.

Seeing this "Jingcha" brochure stamped with the seal of the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the fourth elder brother was furious, and almost wanted to shoot the case.

Li Wei is someone he valued, and after paying attention to him for several years, he naturally knows about Li Wei's situation.Li Wei is just lacking in talent and learning because of donating to officials. When it comes to government affairs, he is very diligent, and he can be a "clean" in conduct.

To be honest, even if Li Wei's assessment is not as good as Cao Yong's, he can still be considered a "diligence" in the upper middle class.

The fourth elder brother didn't think about letting Li Wei go out of Beijing, but planned to let him take up a post in the Ministry of Household Affairs, so as to sharpen his temper and make good use of it in the future.

Unexpectedly, when the "Jingcha" came down, a capable official became a mediocre official, how could the fourth elder brother not look up in anger.

If he doesn't know Li Wei, what Li Wei has done in the past few years, and just read this "Jingcha" excerpt, it will make the pearl dust.

This cognition made the fourth elder brother secretly startled.

Nowadays, the academician has the name of the prime minister, but does not have the power of the prime minister, and the authority of the emperor is supreme.So what?If the ears are not right and the eyes are not clear, they will still be deceived by the courtiers.

Although the fourth elder brother has always acted forbearance, he is extremely protective of his weaknesses in his bones.

He decided that Li Wei should be used, how could he let others say that Li Wei is not good.On this "Jingcha" brochure, he wrote half a page of evaluations, all of which praised Li Wei, and even the dispute between Prince Zhuang and Li Wei was on the list.

Although Li Wei is his disciple, he writes with confidence.

It wasn't until he put down his pen that he breathed out the turbid air in his chest, and he felt much more relaxed.

When this copy was sent to the imperial court, not only Kangxi who read the copy was surprised, but even Zhang Tingyu, who was ghostwriting, was also surprised.

Because, Kangxi smiled: "This Li Wei is interesting. The fourth elder brother does not avoid relatives, so I ordered the fourth elder brother to introduce him quickly." After finishing speaking, he threw the booklet to Wei Zhu who was standing next to him.

Wei Zhu took it with a bow, then turned around and handed it to Zhang Tingyu.

Zhang Tingyu hastily scanned the papers, holding a cinnabar imperial pen in his hand, and approved the papers on behalf of the writer.

I don't know who it is to be praised by the fourth elder brother, but his official position is not high and his reputation is not obvious.A little curiosity sprouted in Zhang Tingyu's heart.

Because there was the word "quick" on the booklets, so the next day, Zhang Tingyu met Li Wei, who was highly praised by the fourth elder brother.

Although it is inappropriate to judge people by their appearance, Zhang Tingyu is still a little disappointed.

This tall, burly man was kneeling, but when he raised his head, his face was covered with pockmarks. He looked like a rough martial artist, and he really couldn't see where he was talented.

Kangxi, on the other hand, was a bit more thoughtful from the first disappointment.He knew his son's temper, he was indifferent, but actually he was very proud.

The person who can fall into the eyes of the fourth elder brother will definitely not be the mediocre official described in the examination papers.

At the beginning of Li Wei's official donation, he followed many people and was led by officials from the Ministry of Officials to meet him once.

It was the first time he was introduced so alone, and he was a little nervous.

In mid-February, when the coldness of spring had not subsided, he knelt on the ground, and after a while, his forehead was sweating.

Although in the past few years, when attending the Great Court Meeting, I saw Kangxi's figure from a distance.At that time, I didn't think anything about it, I just felt that the golden dragon robe was eye-catching.

Now, looking at the gold bricks on the ground and listening to the conversation between Kangxi and the fourth elder brother, Li Wei's nerves were tense, for fear that something might go wrong.

The more you worry about this, the more trouble will arise. When Kangxi personally asked Li Wei why he wanted to collect debts from Prince Zhuang, Li Wei immediately straightened up and said loudly: "If you go back to the emperor, I will act according to the law. There is no other reason. .”

Wei Zhu was by the side, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching after hearing Li Wei's words.When the emperor answered, the rules were strict, and a courtier should naturally speak softly.

Not to mention that this Li Wei is ugly, he is still a stunned young man, why did he fall in love with the fourth elder brother?
Thinking of this, he looked at the fourth elder brother from the corner of his eye.

The fourth elder brother looked as usual, and didn't notice anything wrong with Li Wei at all.

Kangxi's ears are heavy now, and when he usually summons other officials, he listens carefully, for fear that others will see anything.Now, Li Wei's loud voice just suits his appetite.

Kangxi casually asked a few more questions about the bank of the household department. Although Li Wei answered straightforwardly and his words were not elegant, it could be seen that he put his heart into his errands.

After Li Wei was sent to kneel down, Kangxi smiled and said to the fourth elder brother: "It's really good, it's not in vain for you to praise him for this..."

The fourth elder brother hesitated in his heart, or else he would tell the disadvantages of this "Jingcha"; after hesitating for a moment, he finally didn't say it...

*
After a stroll around Yuqian, Li Wei's "Jingcha" grade became "Diligence".

All of a sudden, all directions moved together.

Those officials who could not escape being dismissed and demoted in the "big plan" and "Jingcha" began to refuse to give up, and went around trying to find their way, thinking about entrusting their majesty's opinion.

The fourth elder brother's support for Li Wei is obvious to all.

After Cao Yong knew the reason, he was a little envious of Li Wei.

The history is like a knife, and it is said that Yongzheng is the tyrannical king, but Cao Yong knows that there is a lot of water in it.Not to mention others, but Li Wei, according to the historical trend, after meeting the fourth elder brother, he went all the way to the end.
After being enlightened by her husband, Chu Yu gradually came out of the pain of losing her mother.

In mid-February there was the first step of the boy's test, the county test, and Tianyou, Hang Seng, Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng brothers all failed.

This is the first step of the imperial examination, which is extremely cumbersome.After passing the county examination, they have to take the government examination in April and the hospital examination in August. Only after passing the hospital examination can they be qualified as "students" and enter government schools to study, or take the rural examination.

In fact, the children of powerful and powerful families can directly obtain the qualifications of the provincial examination by directly recruiting a supervisor; however, Cao Yong still hopes that the children can pass the examination step by step and down-to-earth.

The results of this test were not surprising.Tianyou is at the top of the list, Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng brothers are also on the list, and Hang Seng is not on the list.

The little guy was probably embarrassed and annoyed, he drooped his head and didn't recover for several days.It was Cao Yong who came forward and took his son to the guard barracks outside the Xihua Gate to let him see what a man is like a knife, and Hang Seng was relieved from the blow of failure.

"Do what you love to do." Cao Yong was not calm when he said this.Because he knows what these five words mean.What he can promise is only the past few years before Hang Seng.

Hang Sheng raised his head, patted his chest, and said, "Understood, father, my son will still be a general in the future."

Although he was annoyed at his lack of talent, he didn't feel any jealousy towards his brothers who passed the exam.Not only did he stop playing, he practiced martial arts more, he also stopped his brothers from playing games and urged them to read more.

In Tianyou's heart, he already regretted it.

You shouldn't take the county exam with the Zuozhu brothers, and it's not easy for Hang Seng to endorse, let alone write articles.Even if you go by yourself, you should stop Hang Seng and not let him participate, so as not to be sad.

Thinking of this, he ordered his maid Xiaolou to say: "I'll go play chess with the second master, you go to the kitchen and ask for a few plates of dim sum to send to Songyuan."

Xiaolou was grinding ink at first, hesitated for a moment, and went out in response.

Just when Xiao Xie came in, when she heard Tian You's words, she disapproved and said: "Although she has free legs, her legs are not as convenient as others, and the uncle keeps making her go."

Tianyou said: "It is the pain of bound feet, so you should walk more, so that you can recover as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if you let your feet go, you will become a useless person."

This small building was blessed by Mrs. Li.Speaking of which, he has a close relationship with the Cao Mansion.

Last year, the Cao Mansion bought a girl, and she followed her into the Cao Mansion.At that time, she was the pick among those girls, saying "bird's nest is delicious", unlike ordinary girls, so Chuyu, Niuniu, and Tian didn't pick her.

It happened that Cao Yuan's family wanted to buy two little maids, and they saw the small building at a glance.

Unexpectedly, she picked up a treasure. This little girl's female celebrity is very outstanding.

Cao Yuan's family trained him for half a year and paid tribute to Li's family.

A few days ago, Hang Seng moved away from the Sunflower Courtyard, and there were not many people around the two brothers to serve them. Chu Yu pointed out the two big maids around her, and Li Shi picked the four little maids around her for the two grandsons.

This small building was moved to Sunflower Courtyard. Her original surname was Gao, and the name of this small building was given by Tianyou. Knowing that she could read and write, he ordered her to serve pen and ink in the study...
