47 Officials
Just when Chu Tianxiu and others were celebrating the banquet at Jinling City and Hongmen Inn.
The palace is in the morning court.
After the palace examination was held in 2018, Xiaohan announced the results, and the first-class government affairs at the beginning of this year came to an end temporarily.
It will be the Great Cold and New Year's Eve, and all the imperial departments will have holidays.
However, there is one last thing before this to end this year's annual ceremony - that is, to give the students the official position.
...
In the Golden Palace.
Emperor Xiang Yanran sat upright in the court and looked faintly at the ministers in the hall.
The three dukes and nine ministers led the way, and all the civil and military ministers were placed in the hall, looking at the list of the newly obtained Suihuang List.
All the ministers felt incredible.
The other three people, Dong Xianliang, the father Yan and Chao Fangzheng, are "good" and there is not much controversy.
The three of them studied in Jinling City for many years, and now they are well-known and have obvious strength. After many years of time, they took the test and won the best in one fell swoop.
But how could Xiaohunhou be superior?
They did not see the "questions" of the students, nor did they know what they wrote.
The marking was evaluated by the emperor alone.
However, when he heard about Xiao Hunhou's countermeasures in the palace examination, the emperor burned the bamboo slips in anger and asked the eunuchs to throw him out of the Golden Palace.
It can be seen that Xiao Hunhou’s countermeasures are definitely not able to get “excellent”.
Could it be that King Ping asked to meet the emperor in private afterwards and asked for an official position for his son-in-law?
I'm afraid this is the only possibility.
The emperor's eyes were like a torch, not that easy to fool. It would be useless for anyone to ask the emperor to give him an official, but King Ping Li Rong was an exception. When he spoke, the emperor would definitely agree.
So with a little speculation, you can guess that King Ping has made great efforts.
The ministers couldn't help but look at Ping Wang Li Rong, secretly wondering. Ping Wang, who has never asked for office for the Li family for so many years, has made an exception to ask for office for his son-in-law!
Li Rong looked at the nose, his nose looked at the heart, and his eyes were lowered.
I felt a little depressed.
What do you think of me?
He was entrusted by his daughter Li Yu to go to the palace to see the emperor, but he hadn't figured out how to speak.
The emperor said happily, "The little husband cut his flesh and offered his advice... He is loyal and loyal, and sincere!"
He was stunned for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what his son-in-law had done. Since the emperor was happy, he could hold back his words for asking for an official position.
...
However, no minister objected to this.
Even the censor Kong Hanyou, who was responsible for persuading the emperor and supervising the morality of all officials, was silent at this time.
King Ping Li Rong led his army into the Huns' army for more than ten years to rescue him, and his merits were of great significance to the court.
However, he was the Grand Marshal of the Three Dukes and had a hereditary title, so he could not give more generous gifts. King Ping had no son and only had one daughter. It was not an exaggeration to ask for a small official for his son-in-law.
Prime Minister Xie looked helpless.
The emperor had the final say in the palace examination, and he couldn't get involved.
Xiaohunhou, a playboy who boasted of "the gift of the prime minister", was named an excellent player by the emperor, so he could only pinch his nose and recognize him.
According to the practice of the Great Chu, "excellent" can be directly appointed as a county magistrate and enter the official career for training.
The "highest" are arranged to be minor officials in the court, and the middle-class county is sent to the county and county, and the lower class is directly eliminated.
The emperor will only personally inquire about the arrangements for the "excellent" students.
The top ten and middle eighty are elected, and the Prime Minister's Office will be assigned a position and will be inspected and promoted.
...
"Xiao Hunhou is going to serve as the county magistrate. The two prime ministers, but what are the best places to arrange him? I would like to recommend it?"
Xiang Yanran asked indifferently.
The ministers had a headache.
Xiao Hunhou wanted to be the county magistrate, so he must be a dandy county magistrate.
Where does this require him to go so that it will not easily lead to civil unrest or rebellion?
"As the top spot in the imperial list, Xiao Hunhou should arrange the best county to go for training.
Your Majesty, except for those remote, border, and poor counties, the existing wealthy counties are as follows: Chengdu County, Luoyang County, Nanchang County, Handan County, Yuhang County, etc. These county magistrates are about to step down and transferred. If there are vacancies, they can all be arranged to serve as county magistrates."
Deputy Prime Minister Wang Su stepped forward and reported.
Xiang Yanran thought for a moment, pointed at one casually, and said, "Okay, then let's go to Chengdu County Magistrate!"
These wealthy counties are almost the same. He can keep Xiaohunhou away from him and be less worried about the chaos four or five thousand miles away.
It is beyond half of the Great Chu Dynasty, and it is pure in sight.
But when he heard a minister bowed with a "thump" and cried anxiously: "Your Majesty wants Xiaohunhou to be appointed as the magistrate of Chengdu County. This is the order of the emperor, and the minister should not have said anything.
Xiao Hunhou could make Jinling Yin die at the foot of the emperor. He was struggling thousands of miles away, wouldn’t he betray the world!
I was born in Chengdu and thought of my hometown’s elders and fellow villagers, and I couldn’t bear it anymore. I was so sad that I could not bear it! I am so unforgivable to die. I beg Your Majesty to take back Cheng’s life!”
The emperor was stunned, "This...then let's change to Yuhang County! It's very close, I've tried to stare at him. This will never make a big deal!"
"Plop!"
Another minister from Yuhang County knelt down and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, I have never done anything for my hometown Yuhang. How can I face my fellow villagers when I go back? I am ashamed of my elders and I am willing to leave and seek a lifelong journey for my elders."
"I beg your Majesty to take back my life!"
"We all work hard to manage the counties and counties, and the elders have been working hard for a hundred years, and they have been ruined by one's own efforts. We must not send Xiao Hunhou to be the county magistrate!"
The Mahayana from several other counties knelt on the ground and cried and begged for mercy before the emperor could speak.
Xiang Yanran was stunned.
In order to reward Xiaohunhou's advice, he awarded Xiaohunhou a high-ranking honorary service and rewarded a county magistrate Dangdang.
But I had a lot of calculations, but I didn't expect to get stuck in the joint of the official. There was not a single county, so I wanted Xiao Hunhou to be the county magistrate.
If I force the arrangement, I am afraid that some ministers will resign, so I will be sad and angry and disobey!
"I have an idea of the best of both worlds."
As a minister, he should share his worries for the emperor, and the deputy prime minister Wang Su immediately said.
"explain."
Xiang Yanran said immediately.
"No matter where Xiao Hunhou goes, he will definitely... let the people suffer. But there are two places where the disaster will be less affected."
"One is the fief of the Hunhou Mansion, and the other is the fief of Princess Li Yu, Danyang County. These two are the fiefs of Xiao Hunhou's own family, but the county magistrate has always been appointed by the imperial court.
Since Xiaohunhou has arrived, I suggest that he go to Danyang County. He can’t mess around!”
Vice Prime Minister Wang Su smiled.
On his own ground, Xiao Hunhou will definitely not do anything randomly.
Even if he struggles, it will harm Li Yu's fief and fief. Princess Li Yu will definitely stop him.
Take a step back and say that Danyang County is right next to Jinling City. It can be noticed in time if any disaster is caused. There is no need to worry about the disaster being too deep and the public being resentful, but it is too remote and unaware of it.
"A clever plan!"
All the ministers laughed.
"good!"
Emperor Xiang Yanran also smiled happily, this is really OK.
Chapter completed!
