Chapter 232 Management of postings with ulterior motives
Although during the Hongwu period, the first case of the imperial examination resulted in numerous deaths due to the North-South Ranking Incident, later in order to balance the number of officials in various places, the names of tribute candidates in the examination had to be divided into three categories: south, middle, and north, and the candidates from various places were divided according to the corresponding
The quota was chosen, but over time, the number of the thirteen chief secretaries of the Ming Dynasty still varied greatly among the total number of Jinshi. The three provinces of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi had always been among the best in terms of the number of Jinshi, which also made the original building outside the city
After several renovations, the guild hall built by a giant businessman from Jiangxi now covers an area of dozens of acres and is equipped with inns, restaurants, pawnshops, etc. But if you are interested, a note can even call the city's most popular celebrities.
Nowadays, in addition to the tributes, there are also a few wealthy businessmen who come to Beijing to do business. Although they are rich, they are all flattering to the tributes who have already entered the officialdom, and no one dares to do so easily.
Offended. But the rest of the losers are not so cool. Seeing that their companions are being invited to literary conferences every day, some people pack their bags and return to their hometowns, while others plan to try their luck in the capital to see if they can vote for those high-ranking officials first.
He has a good reputation as an official. Therefore, Di Luo, a middle-aged scholar who has been living in the guild hall since the end of last year and is said to be a frequent visitor to wealthy families, naturally became the target of everyone's learning.
At this moment, while they were drinking wine, Di Luo raised his glass and drank it all with a smile. When he saw the toaster looking at him expectantly, he smiled and said: "Nowadays, these elders in the court like to drink wine."
He is a solid writer, so in order to be appreciated by them, the first thing is his reputation. Participating in ten cultural gatherings is not as important as one. Just like the literary gathering hosted by Mr. Li Ge, if you can go to it once, your worth will be increased a hundred times.
Furthermore, it is necessary to make more friends with people with outstanding reputations, such as Zhan Yuanming of Guangdong. He became a disciple of Chen Baisha. First he was appreciated by the Nanjian Zhang, and then he was favored by Mr. Li Ge. It was expected that he would be nominated for the current examination.
Among..."
After talking endlessly about how to promote himself, how to increase his reputation, how to create chance encounters, and even how to impress others, Di Luo changed the topic and talked about the preferences of the ministers in the court. Everyone was respectful to him.
After a while, he stopped. Then he only talked about the romance. When the song ended, he returned to his room with a bit of drunkenness. When the door closed, his eyes that were still cloudy just now
I became clear immediately.
He had always been in the south, and he had only heard reports about the situation in the north. Now that he knew it personally, it was difficult for him to immediately enter the house. Those people who thought they were very talented came to his door and asked them to look around.
Come to the camp and take the opportunity to see the reactions of the big guys from all over the world!
"gentlemen!"
Following the knock on the door, an old servant walked in, bowed and said in a low voice: "Sir, something happened over there in Jiaohuangzhong. Didn't he just eat a few words from others on the day when the examination results were released?"
Lesson, did you complain to sir for a while afterwards? Today he should have asked his personal book boy to pay someone to teach Xu Zhenqing a lesson. In the end, he was injured, but the perpetrators all fell into Xu Xun's hands.
in the hands."
"Did he really do this?" Di Luo was very surprised. He raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully, "Jiao Fang is so cunning and cunning, but his son is so impulsive and reckless. He is really a tiger father and son. By the way.
,How did Xu Xun capture people?"
"Xu Xun brought his own soldiers."
Di Luo was stunned for a moment, and then frowned thoughtfully. To say that he had been quite concerned about this young man who came to the capital from Jinling at almost the same time as him, because of Zhao Qin's downfall, he had always been quite concerned, especially
After seeing its rapid rise, he became very interested.
If it weren't for the fear of being rude, he almost wanted to meet the person in person. After pondering for a long time, he said thoughtfully: "Jiao Huangzhong thought that I was originally from Henan and temporarily living in Jiangxi, so he recommended me to his father several times.
Several times. Now that he has made a name for himself, this is an opportunity to break in..."
"But sir, Xu Jin is now living in Jiao Mansion under the pseudonym Yun Fu. You and he have met before..."
"How could he, an ordinary person, recognize me when I have transformed into thousands of people?" Di Luo smiled confidently, and his voice suddenly changed into a distinct Jinling accent, "If he knew that the Qingke of the Zhao Mansion in the past was the Jiao Mansion today.
Guest, he is not so depressed that he joins the Jiao family as a slave. Okay, you go prepare the post, I want to visit the Jiao family."
"Yes. By the way, sir, there is one more thing. People from Xiao Jing's private residence sent news that Zhang Yu and Liu Wentai visited Xiao Jing together and sent the newly compiled Materia Medica for review, as well as two pots of orchids.
, among them was given to him by our people. It is said that a little guy under Xiao Jing dug out a piece of jade from the soil..."
"Liu Wenlai..."
Di Luo hesitated thoughtfully for a moment. If it weren't for Emperor Hongzhi's protection, first the death of Emperor Xianzong, and then Wang Shu's resignation, Liu Wentai would have died twice! And this man was still in the Imperial Hospital.
He has several enemies, and some people in the court still say that he is a quack. The resistance to his reinstatement lies not with the emperor, but with the ministers... But the more greedy a person is, the easier it is to win over him.
After receiving Liu Wentai's two hundred taels of gold, he gently and skillfully sent the two pill prescriptions into the palace.
Although Emperor Hongzhi was not as superstitious about Taoism as before, once he believed in it, he would not let it go easily!
"You have people keep an eye on him more. If you can open Xiao Jing's breakthrough through him, it will be a good thing. After all, he is the imperial doctor who is close to the emperor, and the prince seems to have a good opinion of him now. It doesn't matter if he is mediocre or not.
Well, it’s not him who treats us anyway.”
After the master and servant made a plan, the old servant opened the door and was about to go out to prepare the car. A little book boy came up in a hurry, lowered his hands and said, "Sir, Mr. Jiao is here. He said he has something urgent to see you."
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here!
Di Luo's eyelids jumped in the room, and he immediately pushed aside the old servant and went out of the house to greet him. However, when he arrived at the second door, he saw Jiao Huangzhong, who smelled of alcohol. He couldn't even wait to get in and shouted impatiently:
: "Brother Luo, you have to help me figure out what to do. It was done, but those idiots bumped into Xu Xun's hands and he went straight to my house!"
Di Luo was shocked and shocked. When he saw a young man coming in at the gate and glanced here, he couldn't help but secretly complained about Jiao Huangzhong's impatience, but on his face he raised his eyebrows as if nothing had happened and said: "Mr. Jiao, you are so stupid
It’s so meaningless that it makes me confused. It’s not the place to talk outside here, let’s go in and talk slowly.”
Only then did he realize that this was the entrance to the Jiangxi Guild Hall, a street where people came and went. When he saw no pedestrians around, the young man who just passed by also went in without paying much attention, and he secretly regretted it.
He lost his composure and hurried inside without saying a word. Di Luo winked at the old servant beside him, nodded understandingly, and then took a few steps to catch up with Zhuo Huangzhong.
In the garden of the guild hall, several tributes were having a wedding ceremony. When they saw someone coming in from the door, Wan Boring, the youngest, stood up and said with a smile, "Brother Yan, where did he come back from the wedding ceremony?"
Although he once had a falling out with several of his classmates who came to take the exam, Yan Song is now a high school tribute scholar. When those few failed the exam and returned to his hometown, he sincerely went to see them off and encouraged each other with fellow villagers.
Naturally, no one mentioned that little discord. The Gongshi from Jiangxi were in their early thirties, and they were divided into several boys. Among them, Wan Boring's father was the prefect of Jinhua.
The famous leader won over a few people, and he also wanted to win over Yan Song, who was at the top of the competition but was outside a few small circles.
"Who knows how to write? The weather is nice today, so I went to Guandi Temple for a walk." Yan Song nodded and walked forward. When he saw a piece of paper in front of Wan Boring and the others, he couldn't help but lower his head and look carefully.
After taking a closer look, he said, "This is the policy theory that you guys have drawn up, Brother Wan Xian? Although there are similarities between the imperial examination policy theory and the eight-part essay breaking the topic and undertaking the title, the eight-part essay talks about..."
There, he talked with great interest about the difference between the three questions in the imperial examination and the three questions in the general examination. He cited classics and talked about the previous strategies in mathematics. In the end, he and Wan Boring and other three people discussed the possible questions in the current subject.
, as if he didn't notice the old servant who was quietly watching here at the door over there.
I don't know how long it took, but Yan Song's long speech just came to an end. After sitting down at Wan Boring's invitation, he looked at the door without revealing any trace, and when he saw that the person was gone, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, okay, there shouldn't be any flaws this time! He only recognized the person who was yelling just now. He was very eye-catching during the test. He vaguely remembered that he was Jiao Shilang's son. What did this person do?
In the hands of Xu Xun, Xu Xun then directly found the Jiao Mansion?
In Diluo's house, Zhong Huang almost closed the door and said, "Let me tell you, I found a few people to teach the poor guy named Xu a lesson, but those idiots beat him up."
, it actually fell into Xu Xun’s hands!”
"What?" Di Luo pretended to be shocked and his eyes widened, "Young Master Jiao, you actually did this kind of thing?" Seeing that Jiao Huang was furious, he smiled and said, "But just do it.
If you do it, Mr. Jiao, you won’t find someone for your own sake. You just need to send the messenger back to your hometown far away. Besides, Xu Xun is an outsider, so I won’t blame you for what the outsider says!”
Although he was in his early forties, he was still just a civil servant and was not allowed to enter the officialdom. At home, his father regarded him as an ignorant junior, which made him full of worries but had nowhere to go. Therefore, after getting acquainted with Dillo, he
I feel that this fellow countryman who is similar to me is very comfortable to be with. He likes to discuss everything with others. Although Dilo always comes up with ideas as a joke, he can always get to the point and solve his troubles with every word.
He never took credit. At this time, he heard what the other party said was pleasant. Although he felt a little calmer, he still pounded the next door worriedly.
"You don't know! My father is wooing Xu Xun. He had previously
