Idle courtiers

Chapter 236

When this statement came out, everyone was stunned.

It is very difficult to get Zhuoyi every time in the Beijing inspection test. If you get such a test, you will be promoted to a higher level for sure.Therefore, when making such an evaluation, the superiors are generally cautious.If there are really no outstanding achievements, they will usually be demoted to a high school.

Zou Yinglong at the front scolded Zhou Nan terribly, and turned his back on him. This change came too fast, and everyone was not prepared for it at all.

Could it be that this Zhou Nan has opened up Zou Ge's door, don't they have enmity?There is such a huge reversal, it is obvious that the surname Zhou has lost all his money.If Zou Yinglong hadn't considered that Zhou Nan only had a reputation as a scholar and could not be promoted, maybe he would have to be given Zhuo Yi?

Shang Xingren was full of anger, and shouted: "Zou Yinglong, how many benefits have you gained from Zhou Nan, a villain, are you not afraid of the people in the world talking about it?"

Zou Yinglong said with a cold face: "Although Zhou Xingren's behavior is disorderly, it is only private morality. Our court has never judged an official by personal morality. The so-called, if you have virtue and talent, use it resolutely; if you have talent but no virtue, restrict its use; If you have virtue but no talent, cultivate and use it; if you have no talent and no virtue, you should resolutely use it. Zhou Nan came to Xingrensi for three months, but presided over Qingzhang Gyeonggi Imperial Property, and presided over the Yanqing Prefecture Sacrificial Ceremony, which is considered a capable talent."

But he gave everyone a lesson on the personnel selection system of the Ming Dynasty. Those who didn't understand the clues thought he was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials!
Zou Yinglong: "Shang Xingren, you can also think about what you did in the first three months after you first joined the Pedestrian Department, and what outstanding political achievements you have. Let everyone judge and judge."

Shang Min was powerless to refute his scolding.

I thought that when I was sent here as a pedestrian when I was just a Jinshi, I was actually a scholar who didn't understand world affairs.Therefore, I have done errand work in the past one or two years, and I am familiar with the way of politics, so what achievements can I get?

Zhou Nan was originally sent by Si Li to clear up the royal property in Gyeonggi, because it was a hot job to offend the clan, and it was obviously going to be unlucky.Si Li deceived him that he was a rookie, and wanted to drive him out of the ranks of Jinshi, so he sent him to be a thunderbolt.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Nan's luck was also surprisingly good, and the matter of Qingzhang's imperial property was disturbed by the clan, and the emperor issued an edict to abolish it.The farm he cleared before has become one of his political achievements, which can be checked and no one can take it away.

As for the sacrificial ceremony in Yanqing Prefecture, they did a good job.

This is beyond words, what Shang Xingren is angry about is that Zou Yinglong reprimanded himself with personal virtue just now, and then said that Zhou Nan's personal morality will not be counted in this exam, and it is too shameless to play double standards like this.

His face was flushed, and he shouted: "I am not convinced, I want to impeach Mr. Zou."

Zou Yinglong: "Whatever, anyway, you can't change the high school you passed this time." It's better to think about protecting your own future first, the county magistrate might as well take care of you now, my lord will abolish you now.

Zhou Nan was so happy that he couldn't hold it any longer, and laughed loudly: "Master Shang wants to submit a book, so he should become a censor first or give it to Shizhong!" According to the whistle-blowing system of the Ming Dynasty, the Beijing officials had to be above the fourth rank to have a turning point. The power of the upper grade; lower than the fourth grade, unless you are a Kodao speaker.Otherwise, your report letter can only be delivered to the Metropolitan Procuratorate first.

Zou Yinglong is an engineering student. His teacher is Xu Jie. He is very popular. Does it make sense for you to report him? In the end, you will also be dismissed by your superiors?

This old Zou was as simple, rude and unscrupulous as Xu Jie after he gained power, and the teacher and student were indeed in the same line.

As a person who came up from the grassroots, Zhou Nan admired Zou Yinglong's style of super-tough versus tough.

Seeing that there was going to be an unreasonable disturbance, Qin Liang coughed: "Everyone is quiet, do you think I have nothing to do?"

Sun Shiyue woke up from the dream again, and muttered: "It's finished...then go back... As for the final result of this exam, it has to be determined by the cabinet, the Ministry of Rites and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I'll wait and see." The program is back."

These words are to remind the merchants that the deal is done, instead of wrangling Zou Yinglong here, you might as well go for a walk.

Thus, the vigorous Beijing inspection by Pedestrian Division came to an end.

Zhou Nan also knew that with Zou Yinglong's test, he had passed this test.

The only thing that made him dissatisfied was that he only had the fame of a scholar. If he had a serious background, he could still win a Zhuo Yi.Once you get Zhuo Odd and have Xu Jie's way, you can complete the crucial jump from the pedestrian way to become a feared speaker.

What a pity, what a pity, such a rare opportunity was wasted.If you want to wait until the next opportunity, you don't know when you will have to wait.

Diplomas, diplomas are so important, Zhou Nan has never been so eager for Jinshi fame like today.

"Congratulations to Zhou Xingren for successfully passing the Beijing inspection." It was already dark, the Beijing inspection was over, and everyone went home.As soon as Zhou Nan was leaving the company, Guo Shuban came over.

Zhou Nan: "There is justice in the world. My lord has the courage to do things and spares his life for the country. His achievements are obvious and he is not afraid of people's investigation. Zou Yinglong has read the books of sages anyway, so he is naturally ashamed. I and him Although we are not on good terms, if he blatantly harms me, won't he be afraid of the court's criticism?"

Guo Shuban almost wanted to roll his eyes at him, you Zhou Xingren, you make it sound like you are an upright official and loyal minister?What did you say that Zou Yinglong knew the shame and did not dare to blatantly harm you, just now when he reprimanded Shang Xingren, he was not blatant?

It must be you, Mr. Zhou, who stuffed Zou Yinglong with a burden. This burden is not small, at least hundreds of taels, right?
In any case, Zhou Nan, the immediate boss, passed the test, and he, a small official, was able to gain political achievements and keep his position.

Guo Shuban was also happy in his heart, and said: "Pedestrian, I have been busy all day, and I haven't eaten a grain of rice. My subordinates have always wanted to get close to adults, so choosing a day is worse than hitting the sun. Let me be the host today, let's find a place to have a drink."

Zhou Nan was in a hurry to go home: "Old Guo, what kind of friendship do you have with me? Forget about it! Besides, it's dark today, and the restaurants and teahouses are closed."

Guo Shuban said: "Not far ahead is the Jiaofang Division, which is the busiest time of the day."

Zhou Nan's heart moved, but then he thought again, since Sixth Sister Xun came to the capital, there has never been a day when she has a rest, and her physical strength is so exhausted, how can she still go out and mess around?My own old sows can't be fed, so they have to sell chaff?
Just about to refuse, at this moment, two sedan chairs stopped in front of them.

A servant in his thirties came down from a sedan chair, and he was the concierge of Prime Minister Xu Jie's residence.As soon as he saluted, he handed a post to Zhou Nan: "Zhou Xingren, Mr. Xu Ge, please come over to the mansion for a while, and ask the younger one to pick you up, please get on the sedan chair!"

Seeing the concierge, Zhou Nan knew that Xu Jie had asked him to come over to talk at night, presumably it was because of the water for Renshou Palace.

And the plan he offered to Zou Yinglong worked very well after it was implemented, otherwise, Zou would not have given an above-average comment on the matter before.

From the heart, Zhou Nan is not willing to deal with Xu Jie.In the real history, this old man Xu was expelled back to his hometown in Songjiang within two years of being complacent. If he hangs out with him, it will be unlucky in the future.Moreover, this Xu Cifu Taiyin has a bad character and is not someone to associate with.

But Zhou Nan is just a small eighth-rank pedestrian, the old man has an invitation, can he refuse?

"Yes, please lead the way."

Seeing the two sedan chairs disappearing into the night, Guo Shuban stuck out his tongue and clicked his tongue.He originally thought that Zhou Nan was able to pass the test this time because he spent a lot of money to buy Zou Yinglong, but he didn't want him to get the cabinet minister by himself.

Being able to be summoned by Ge Lao is not something that can be done with money.
