Chapter 395 What happened after the rankings were released(2/2)
Lin Tailai was a little speechless. In the history of another time and space, Huang Hongxian gave Wang Heng, the son of the great scholar Wang Xijue, a Jieyuan this year. Unexpectedly, he was replaced by himself in this time and space.
Huang Xueshi consoled him and said: "You don't have to worry, it doesn't matter even if the controversy over Jieyuan is bigger.
After being criticized, I will take all responsibilities and resolve the problem by resigning, which means I really resign."
In official struggles, generally speaking, resignation is the end, indicating that a price has been paid and that according to the rules, political pursuits cannot be continued.
If Huang Xueshi resigns to respond to the criticism, it will be able to end the dispute between Lin Daguanren and Lin Daguan in terms of rules.
Lin Daguanren said tentatively: "That student, I don't know how to repay the teacher's love."
For no reason at all, to pay such a high price for his false reputation, Lin Daguan felt a bit outrageous no matter how he heard it.
Huang Xueshi said with a smile: "You don't need to repay me. I, a Jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing, have no future."
In the examination in the fifth year of Longqing's reign, the examiner was Zhang Juzheng. Feng Shike, who can only hang around all day now, was also in this session.
Then I heard Huang Xueshi say: "But Quanzi was only in his early twenties, but he passed the Jinshi examination in the 14th year of Wanli in Shangke. And if there are noble people to look after him, his future will definitely be greater than mine."
Lin Tailai understood that Huang Xueshi's intention was to throw away his own official position in exchange for the chief assistant to take care of his son in the future.
Everything can be explained logically on the surface, but Lin Tailai still feels that it doesn't make sense from a human perspective.
If this Jieyuan was arranged by you, Academician Huang, on your own, wouldn't it be tantamount to making your own decisions and causing more trouble for the chief assistant?
The controversy caused by Jieyuan was greater than that of ordinary people, and it brought greater trouble to the chief minister.
Your Xueshi Huang's son is still being pinched by the chief assistant, so he can't be an undercover agent.
So Lin Tailai decided to deceive Huang Xueshi. After thinking about it, he said again:
"Teacher, it's best to tell the truth, who decided on this solution.
Otherwise, I can only think that you are deliberately creating doubts between me and Prime Minister Shen."
Huang Xueshi smiled bitterly, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Actually, there is some other inside story, and you will know it sooner or later.
It may be difficult to arrange the examination next year, so Prime Minister Shen decided to give you a Jie Yuan first.
If, I mean, if it really doesn’t work next year, this solution will be the compensation.”
Lin Tailai: "."
This means that next year’s examination may be more difficult, so this solution is considered a consolation prize?
Why, other time-travelers have easily cleared two levels in a row, so why is it so difficult to get here?
If it's so difficult to get through the examination, what's the point of applying for your first assistant, Shen Shixing!
Huang Xueshi emphasized: "I will definitely try my best to apply for the prime minister, but there are indeed some difficulties, mainly because the examiner for next year's general examination is Xu Guo."
A long time ago, the examiners of the examinations were all Hanlin bachelors. However, in recent decades, cabinet bachelors have begun to take turns serving as examiners.
So basically anyone can guess who the examiner will be in the next exam.
Among the three people in the current cabinet, the first assistant Shen Shixing was the examiner of the examination in the eighth year of Wanli, and the bachelor Wang Xijue was the examiner of the last examination in the fourteenth year of Wanli.
Only the second assistant Xu Guo has not presided over the examination, so next year's examiner will definitely be Xu Guo.
But the important point is that Xu Guo was a Huizhou merchant, and many Yangzhou salt merchants such as Zheng Zhiyan were supported by Xu Guo.
When Lin Daguan and others were competing for the interests of the salt industry in Yangzhou, they did not give Xu Cifu any face.
Two-thirds of the 21,000 yinwo books controlled by Lin's Salt Industry were stolen from Huizhou merchants.
From this perspective, it was Lin Daguan's own fault.
But as long as the original interest structure is touched, people will be offended. Even if there is no Xu Guo, there will be others.
Lin Tailai said a little dissatisfied: "Can't the chief assistant suppress Xu Guo?"
Huang Xueshi explained: "There are also difficulties in applying for prime minister. First, Xu Guo is a stubborn and fiery person with a strong desire for revenge and is difficult to persuade.
Secondly, applying for prime minister also requires the support of Xu Guo. Many times when the cabinet has a verbal dispute with foreign countries, it relies on Xu Guo to come forward."
Lin Tailai said angrily: "If I were the chief minister, there would be no other voice in the cabinet!"
Huang Xueshi thought of something again and reminded: "In addition, there are rumors in the court that among the examiners of the Eighteenth Chamber of Commerce next year, some people may give up all other positions and only compete for the position of examiner of the Yi Jing Room."
As we all know, the National Examination is the same as the Provincial Examination. In addition to the "Four Books" that are required to be studied, candidates will choose one of the Five Classics of Poetry, Calligraphy, Rites, Yi, and Spring and Autumn Classics as their main classics.
When judging papers, there will be several co-examiners who will judge the papers in separate rooms based on the Five Classics, and then submit the passing papers to the chief examiner.
For example, if Lin Tailai's textbook is the "Book of Changes", the test papers will definitely be sent to the Book of Changes room for preliminary judgment by the same examiner.
Therefore, as long as the hostile forces seize the position of co-examiner in the Yijing room, they will definitely have access to Lin Tailai's test papers.
Finally, Huang Xueshi sighed helplessly: "In short, Prime Minister Shen will definitely do his best for you, but there are too many obstacles from all sides, and the result can no longer be guaranteed."
Lin Tailai: "."
Lin Tailai has so much virtue and ability. Is he worthy of such a desperate blockade?
What did he, Lin Tailai, do wrong to be targeted to this extent?
In addition to providing some latest news, Huang Xueshi was also unable to help Lin Daguanren's plight.
It’s better to pass the provincial examination quickly, the test is the main course.
