After leaving the cell, the sky had gradually turned gray. For Ye An, he had gained a lot tonight. Except for Wuyou Cave, everyone had gained the benefits they wanted.
The cleanup of Wuyou Cave in the second room on the left is about to begin. The reason why Wang Zhen did not appear in the cell is because he made careful arrangements in Kaifeng Mansion.
After all, he was one of the top people produced in the imperial examination, so he naturally had some means and ability to be appointed as the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture.
Anyway, when Ye An "visited" Kaifeng Mansion, he discovered that the huge Kaifeng Mansion was already facing a formidable enemy. Everyone could only enter but not go out. Anyone who went out had to hold a note issued by Wang Zhen himself.
.
This kind of confidentiality management is already quite secure. It seems that Wang Zhen himself knows that there are some people with interests in Kaifeng Mansion.
The front yard of the government office was filled with government officials. These people all belonged to the Kaifeng government office itself, rather than the government officials drawn from Kaifeng County and Xiangfu County. This was even more obvious.
What Wang Zhen did was to prevent the leakage of information to the greatest extent. When he arrived at the signing room, Ye An discovered that Wang Zhen's methods were more than that. He had tried to prevent the possibility of information about the siege and suppression from leaking through other channels to the greatest extent.
.
The Xiang patrol envoys, inspections, forbidden town generals, Xiang school and others in the second room from the left were all summoned here. They originally belonged to Kaifeng County and Xiangfu County, but because the imperial court re-divided the county administration, the management of the outer city was divided.
It belongs to two counties, bounded by Yudao, with Xiangfu County in the east and Kaifeng County in the west.
In this way, the inner city would be completely under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture. Ye An even knew that in the near future, the entire Tokyo city would be under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture, while Kaifeng County and Xiangfu County could only manage the nearby suburbs.
The signing room was full of people. When facing Wang Zhen, the palace master, everyone stood with their hands tied and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
There is no way that Kaifeng Prefecture is located in the capital city. Wang Zhen is not only the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, but also the official of Longtuge. He is a serious official of the third rank and an important minister in the court.
How dare they neglect Wang Zhen personally to "guide the work"?
It is impossible for Ye An to participate in the purge operation. At most, he can make some suggestions. But in front of these officials who wander around Tokyo all year round, his suggestions are irrelevant and he becomes more of a bystander.
So Wang Zhen asked him to stand beside him and said: "Don't worry, Ye Hou, our Kaifeng Mansion will definitely handle this matter properly. With Ye Hou's help, I will report to the court and the saints!"
Ye An bowed and said: "Thank you so much for your honor. Your actions are to eliminate harm to the people of Tokyo City, share the worries of the officials and saints, and demonstrate your virtues for the court. Ye An is very grateful!"
After a thousand times of flattery, Wang Zhen smiled and touched the beard on his chin and said: "How dare you covet public opinion when you are eating the king's salary and dividing the king's worries? You have all heard this. This matter is related to the dignity of the court.
The dignity of the official family is also related to your own dignity! It's getting late, everyone has to find his own way, the street, the official, and the side code will explain, close all the canals in the second left side, and send more people to cut them off! Again!
Use detailed maps to search as hard as possible, and no one will escape!"
Everyone bowed and accepted the order: "Listen to the orders of the Master!"
As everyone left, only Ye An and Wang Zhen were left in the custody room. Even though he knew that Song Zhi had tricked him, Ye An did not complain at all, let alone reported the matter to Wang Zhen. After all, from the beginning
This old man never asked why Wuhan University was spying on the Yunzhong County Marquis Mansion...
Ye An would not offend someone like Wang Zhen who could win over him for profit. There was no benefit in offending him, so it would be better to let him do something practical.
It can be seen from his clearing arrangements that this "Wang Tiemian" is really capable.
But at this time, Wang Zhen looked ugly: "Nephew Ye Shi, do you know how many people in my Kaifeng Mansion secretly colluded with Wuyoudong, and how many people had dealings with Guifan Tower? There are no less than a few dozen, I am
I gained some knowledge today. I secretly sealed the government office and sent people to leak the news, and many people were captured! This is the Gyeonggi government office of the majestic Kaifeng Prefecture!"
Ye An had expected this, and he replied with a smile: "This is the difficulty of the official system! As long as the chief official cannot grasp the details of actual administration, he can only continue to be at the mercy of his subordinates; at the same time, as long as the subordinate officials continue to be in a
If they are outside the system and must rely on various means to survive, they will definitely continue to try to control power for their own selfish interests!"
A flash of light flashed in Wang Zhen's eyes. After a long time, he nodded and said: "What Nephew Ye Shi said is absolutely true! But this is also a phenomenon that exists in the court. I'm afraid it is impossible to eliminate it!"
Ye An shook his head and said: "No, as long as proper supervision is carried out and sufficient benefits are given, these subordinates can still be used by the government! It is not terrible to have shortcomings in human nature. As long as they are made up for properly, they can naturally be used, right?
"
Wang Zhen frowned slightly. If this matter could be handled well, it would bring him more long-term political benefits than clearing the Wuyou Cave in the second wing on the left. He was not a fool. Looking at Ye Anyan's serious look, he knew that he could not say that he had any
method.
He coughed dryly and asked in a tentative tone: "Oh? So what do you think, my little friend?"
"Simple, improve the status of subordinate staff and subordinates to eliminate or shorten the gap caused by their isolation from civil servants. The most important thing is education!
Incorporate them into Confucianism and the constraints of human nature, and then let them develop a spirit of dedication that is loyal to the country and the heavenly family. And importantly, include subordinate officials in the ranks of those who receive the imperial salary, and give them the best
Actual decency!”
Wang Zhen looked at Ye An dumbfounded. He found that if he followed Ye An's statement, it would be equivalent to turning these subordinates into officials! Or officials directly without going through the imperial examination!
In fact, Ye An was not talking to those subordinate officials, but giving Wang Zhen another political achievement. If the problem of subordinate officials could be solved well, it would undoubtedly be a great contribution to the Song Dynasty.
Especially in the court, you have a strong political capital, that is, you have shown your abilities and ambitions, and you will be respected by your colleagues and valued by the heavenly family.
Wang Zhen is a strict and decisive person. Knowing that this was an excellent suggestion given to him by Ye An, he glanced at Ye An with a deep look: "You kid! You have not touched the depths of the court, but you have insight into it."
Samadhi, I wonder if I will still need your support in a few years!"
Ye An didn't dare to say anything. His humble appearance made no one think of his sophistication in the officialdom. Wang Zhen was silent for a while and then whispered: "If your kid can't be ranked among the three princes in the future, I won't believe it, but I won't believe it."
Remember that a tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind! It will cause trouble all over..."
Wang Zhen's voice suddenly paused, and he slowly stared at Ye An and said word by word: "Good boy! You are deliberately hiding your cowardice! You have great achievements and many means, but you deliberately offended the Grand Prime Minister Temple and the clan!
Deliberately causing trouble?!"
Ye An smiled bitterly and said: "The master of the palace really thinks highly of this boy. Which one of them didn't come to his door? How could Ye An know that the monks from Daxiangguo Temple went back to Xinlingfang to collect debts? It was just a matter of injustice on the road.
We're just helping each other, why bother?"
Wang Zhen smiled disdainfully, and he caught Ye An's flaw in the flash of lightning: "Oh? Are you really an old man who can't see it? The ten evils of Buddhism in front of the Shangqing Palace are also unfair? It's obviously early.
I have this idea in mind! After talking about Master Kongkong, he took the opportunity to provoke Buddhism! Do you really think that I have been messing around in the court for so many years?!"
Ye An was stunned for a moment, then folded his hands and saluted, "The Master has fiery eyes and golden eyes!"
With a slight sigh, Wang Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "It's smart to find trouble for yourself like this! It's not easy to be an isolated minister. If you don't offend these people, how can you make the Tian family feel at ease... I just hope you don't go too far.
The civil servants of the DPRK will also give you a place to stay."
Ye An smiled coldly: "Oh? How many people are dissatisfied with Ye An, a Chaosan doctor who did not enter the official position through the imperial examination? Since the saint gave him the same birth as a Jinshi, the boy has not been able to become a member of the civil servants!"
Wang Zhen suddenly burst out laughing, his figure hunched over from the laughter. After seeing Ye An's dissatisfaction, he breathed out and said: "Nephew Ye, haha... you really don't know that you can go further?
The civil servants in the court are looking forward to you taking this step! The imperial examination is in addition to the imperial examination. Both those who have been awarded honors and the officials who have been awarded can participate. This is the way to pass the Jinshi! If you win, you can be as good as the Jinshi!
Even those with the same background as Jinshi can take the exam!"
Ye An looked at Wang Zhen blankly. He also said this. Of course he knew about the locked examination, but he didn't expect that he, who had been awarded the same Jinshi qualification, could participate again, and the gold content was as valuable as that of Jinshi.
Think about it, most of the people who take part in the lock-up examination are officials, and some even have family backgrounds. Those who can stand out among these people must have real talents and knowledge, and it is reasonable to be recognized by civil servants!
Patting his head, Ye An smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, Master, for reminding me, Ye An is stupid!"
Wang Zhen glanced at him: "Don't think that the Lockdown Examination is easy. The Lockdown Examination is the same as the Palace Examination. It only tests policy! It is based on current affairs and supplemented by talent and learning. Don't underestimate it!"
This was purely a lesson from the seniors to the younger ones. Ye An naturally accepted it humbly, but he smiled in his heart. This was exactly what he needed!
In any case, if you want to gain a foothold in the court, you need a serious "academic qualification". In the eyes of civil servants, except for Jinshi subjects, all others are inferior and not "prime minister's subjects"!
Unexpectedly, the Suoting Examination was so pragmatic. Ye An remembered that during the imperial examination reform led by Wang Anshi during the Shenzong period, the scriptures, Mo Yi and poetry were removed, and these happened to be his weaknesses...
