long live the queen

Chapter 88

The next person to come in was Wang Mian. He first said hello to several cabinet ministers and Wei Yunqing, then went to sit in the chief examiner's seat and signaled Yun Xin and the others to start.

It was Yun Xin who came up first, and Wang Mian was worthy of being a lover of money. After asking Yun Xin how to do arithmetic, he asked Yun Xin to answer a few simple arithmetic problems.Yun Xin didn't speak big words, although it took some time, the answer was relatively smooth.After testing Yun Xin's practical skills, Wang Mian asked Yun Xin to answer the questions that account managers would often encounter. If you don't comment, let her go back.

The next few people were similar to Yun Xin, but the question was a little different. Wang Mian didn't comment on whether the three answered correctly or not. Miss Xuemei will be the accountant of the Palace of Yanxi Palace."

"Oh? Sir Wang's reason?" Wei Yunqing asked curiously.

Wang Mian said with a smile: "Your Majesty must have seen Caichen's assessment method just now, and I feel that this Xuemei girl is very good at managing accounts, and she is worthy of a heavy responsibility."

"So that's the case, then thank you, Mr. Wang. You go out and rest for a while, and when the other Mr. An also finishes the assessment, we will announce the results together." Wei Yunqing said with a smile.

Wang Mian nodded and left.He was not familiar with the people in the cabinet, and he didn't give any extra glances.

The cabinet members discussed a little after Wang Mian went out, most of which were the comparative evaluation of Yu Gongyan and Wang Mian's performance.Those who support Yu Gongyan think his recommendation is better, while the other side supports Anbang. In order to suppress Yu Gongyan, they now stand on Wang Mian's side, thinking that Wang Mian's way of judging is much better than Yu Gongyan—— Of course, after the assessment of Anbang is over, their evaluation of Anbang will definitely be higher than that of Wang Mian.

After Anbang came in, Wei Yunqing said some of her request as before. Anbang thought for a while, looked in the direction of the cabinet members and said, "My lords, is there anyone who is proficient in arithmetic and can help me?"

As the Minister of the Household Department, Jin Yan's arithmetic is really good, and he is on Anbang's side, so he stood up with a smile and said: "I will not let this matter go."

Mao Yirong immediately objected: "This is Lord An's assessment. Why are you going up to join in the fun, Lord Jin? This is unfair to the first two candidates for officials."

Jin Yan really wanted to ignore Mao Yirong's objection and become Anbang's golden finger to help him win this assessment, but he also understood that if he insisted on doing so, even if Anbang became the doctor of Wenxuan Division later, he would not be able to convince the public. The reputation of "cheating" can't be washed away.He thought for a while and said with a smile: "Master Mao, this assessment was proposed by the empress, and it is naturally the empress's decision whether to find someone to help out." He looked at Wei Yunqing and said, "I don't know what the empress thinks?"

Wei Yunqing had the usual faint smile on her face, making it impossible to see her emotions at the moment. Hearing Jin Yan's question, she said, "I don't think this move violates the original intention of the assessment."

Mao Yirong was in a hurry: "Ma'am, that's unfair to the first two officials!"

Wei Yunqing glanced at Mao Yirong, and smiled slightly: "But they didn't mention asking for help. If they did, I would naturally agree. Since they didn't mention it, it can be seen that they have no doubts about themselves, so why should Mr. Mao doubt the former?" What about the talents of the two adults?"

These words came directly to Mao Yirong's mouth.Wei Yunqing never said that he couldn't invite foreign aid. The first two didn't invite them because they didn't expect it. Who is to blame?
Jin Yan laughed: "Your Majesty is right!"

Wei Yunqing glanced at him sideways, and his voice became cold: "I just ask Mr. Jin to be careful, and he has to ask arithmetic questions. If there is any violation, Mr. An will immediately lose his qualification for the assessment."

Jin Yan's expression froze, and he couldn't laugh anymore as he stroked his beard.

Wei Yunqing withdrew his gaze and looked at Anbang with his usual expression.She didn't have any good feelings for Jin Yan, his daughter was about to marry the man she liked, how could she have good feelings for the Minister of the Household Department?At this moment, she is just suppressing the displeasure in her heart, trying her best to be right and not to others. She is struggling, and she just hopes that Jin Yan will not mess with her.

Anbang got Jin Yan's technical support, and began to find people to ask questions one by one.After Yun Xin came up, he asked some basic questions first, and then Jin Yan asked about the basics of arithmetic, and Yun Xin naturally passed it safely.

After hearing Yun Xin say that he had experience in handling accounts for the late emperor's concubines, Anbang suddenly asked, "Miss Yun Xin, what happened to you in the past when you were managing accounts?"

Anbang's original intention was to hear how Yun Xin behaved when she encountered problems in the process of managing accounts, so as to judge her ability, but unexpectedly, when he asked this question, Yun Xin's face changed , falteringly said: "Slave... Slave didn't encounter any situation."

Anbang frowned, suddenly slapped the table and said loudly: "If you have something to hide, you should tell the truth as soon as possible, otherwise..."

Seeing Yun Xin trembling with fright, she almost knelt down, Wei Yunqing on the other side coughed, and said to An Bang, who was watching Xun Sheng: "Master An, please pay attention to your tone, you are recruiting people now, and It's not a trial, don't scare the maids in my palace."

Anbang coughed several times, and hurriedly said apologetically, "Yes, ma'am, it was my minister who got excited at the moment, and I will restrain myself a little."

After Anbang apologized, he looked at Yun Xin again. He didn't take pictures of the table, but his face was still dignified: "Miss Yun Xin, did you make a big mistake in managing the accounts for the late emperor's concubine?"

Yun Xin lowered her head and said softly, "Master Hui'an, and...not at all."

"This officer has seen through everything, it's useless for you to argue no matter how hard it is, don't take it seriously!" Anbang's eyes turned cold, and he almost slapped the table.

Wei Yunqing coughed a few times, and reminded Anbang again that this was not a trial, but a recruitment.

An Bang looked back at Wei Yunqing, smiled awkwardly, turned his head to look at Yun Xin again, his expression was still serious: "If you don't want to say, I will definitely not be able to choose you."

"Your maidservant... didn't lie, indeed nothing went wrong." Yun Xin insisted.

Anbang used to be a local official, and managed to get to the central government by virtue of his political achievements. In the past, when he tried cases at local courts, he especially liked to shoot gavels. Now Wei Yunqing repeatedly reminded him that he would not do that again. See Yun Xin really couldn't ask, so she had to give up: "You should step back first."

"Yes, Mr. An." Yun Xin quickly stepped back.The other three looked at her sympathetically, and then all eyes turned to the next poor creature.

The next person to play was Xuemei, she looked more courageous than Yunxin, Anbang asked her fiercely, but she also spoke in a leisurely manner.After Jin Yan checked Xuemei's arithmetic level, Anbang asked a few more questions before letting Xuemei go back.

Xuemei was followed by Zhang Xiaoxie. He planned to make a long speech when he came up, but Anbang stopped him. Anbang had been a magistrate for a long time in the past. initiative.

After Anbang asked some questions, Jin Yan checked Zhang Xiaoxie's math level again, and finally Anbang asked Zhang Xiaoxie to go back and replace Feng Tian.

It was still some questions and answers, Feng Tian answered honestly and dutifully, Anbang seemed quite satisfied, and finally let him go back.

After the assessment was over, Anbang walked up to Wei Yunqing and said solemnly: "Go back to your mother, I think it's hard to see who is more suitable for this one, and we should discuss it later!"

As soon as Anbang said this, Mao Yirong immediately exploded: "This is a serious test, you give such an answer, do you want to get away with it?!"

The two people in front both gave a definite answer in a serious manner, but Anbang was lucky to give such a panacea-like answer. How could Mao Yirong not be angry?
"Master Mao, please be calm and don't be impatient. This palace has its own decision." Wei Yunqing glanced at Mao Yirong, stopped his next objection, and then looked at An Bang and said, "Master An, you have also seen it. It's a very serious exam, if you can't give a final answer, I'm afraid you won't be able to convince the public."

Jin Yan also persuaded: "Master An, let's choose the one you think is the most suitable." He didn't want the advantage he had gained so hard to be wasted by Anbang.

Anbang looked embarrassed, and after a while he said: "Weichen thinks... Zhang Xiaoxie is the most suitable."

"What is Mr. An's reason?" Wei Yunqing asked curiously, "I remember that Mr. An seemed to be very satisfied with Xuemei and Feng Tian before."

Anbang organized his speech for a while, and then said: "Ms. Hui, first of all is Miss Yunxin. I asked her about her past experience in managing accounts with the former emperor's concubine, but she was vague. I think she must have something to hide. I'm afraid Is it not suitable for this position of account management? If I can decide later, I can check it out. As for Miss Xuemei, she seems to have connections outside the palace. She also knows about her family. People without tokens are not allowed to leave the palace, and they are not allowed to have private contacts with people outside the palace. Therefore, I think it is not appropriate for Miss Xuemei not to take the rules of the dynasty seriously. As for this Feng Tian...he speaks too aggressively and is determined It's not easy to be guilty with words. Putting such a person by my side makes my mother feel uncomfortable, so I think that Zhang Xiaoxie is the most suitable at present... However, I feel that this conversation is not enough. Give me more time, and I will definitely be able to find out all aspects behind them, so as not to teach them to escape... Cough, please forgive me, I have talked too much, too much."

Wei Yunqing nodded with a smile, the smile was deeper than before.

She asked the servants to invite Yu Gongyan and Wang Mian in first, and then said to Yun Xin and the others: "You all come here and talk about your situation."

"Yes, ma'am!" The four of them were all smiling, basically they had successfully completed the task assigned by Wei Yunqing, and they might be reused more in the future, so they were naturally happy.

"My lords, come and listen." Wei Yunqing looked at the cabinet members and the three candidate officials.At the beginning, she wrote four things for Cao Jun to give to the four people respectively, which set the background of each person-that is to say, she did not let them express themselves, but played a character who was similar to them but not exactly the same. people.After all, these four people were the ones that Wei Yunqing had focused on training. Their acting skills were good, and they were not stage-frightened when facing important officials, which also made Wei Yunqing very satisfied.

But now, Wei Yunqing wants the four of them to tell the background of their script.
