Chapter 169 There is an inside story within the inside story
An interrogator asked, in the imperial examinations, the results were all determined by the whim of the examiner. The supervisor was only a supervisor of the examination. At best, he was only a promotion officer, checking for adultery and preventing malpractice. How could he have the ability to decide the admissions of young students?
Or not? Are all the candidates putting the cart before the horse when they doubt Mr. Shi?
This is something I don’t know. Twenty or thirty years ago in this dynasty, there was a big joke in the examination room. There was a merchant kid who could only read and write. He was suspected of being a time traveler. He had unnatural luck and made money first.
As a student, he passed the provincial examination by answering questions and plagiarizing essays. He was able to pass two tests, and finally showed his weakness in the Imperial Palace test.
At that time, Long Yan was furious and made new rules for the examination hall. Anyone who had a supervisor in the examination would have to polish the test paper after the examination and then conduct a reexamination for the Chinese scholars.
In other words, today's supervisory officials have the right to review the test results. Of course, the supervisory officials' reexamination is much simpler in form and is not aimed at elimination. It just asks a question in class for Chinese speakers to write as they please.
For poems and essays, face-to-face verification is required to see if the Chinese language candidates are fluent in writing, so as to avoid those who are not proficient in arts and sciences from passing the test by chance, although in many cases the re-examination is just a formality.
Therefore, Mr. Shi has certain power to depose, which is a necessary condition for rumors to flourish.
Without further ado, the camera turns to the back office of Suzhou Prefecture and the residence of the official. Tonight, Mr. Huang from the Public Security Bureau visited Mr. Li on a moonlit night. It was warm in late spring. The two of them were sitting in the courtyard, serving tea and chatting.
.
"That's what happened. Thanks to your blessing, Chen Xundao is going to supervise the college examination, and by the way, he is also plotting for the provincial examination in August." Master Huang said.
The setting sun is like blood and frost covering the ground... No, it's already night, it should be the lonely phoenix tree and the moon is like a hook... Li You was dejected when he heard this, his eyes were sad, and he just let go of Shi Shenzheng, who was already a turtle in the urn in his heart?
With Chen Xundao's ambitions in front of him, he could not persuade Chen Xundao and refused to accept the position of prisoner. All he could do was feel sorry for the overall situation.
This time it was Shi Shenzheng who carelessly underestimated the enemy and got caught in his ambush. Will there be a chance for the seventh-grade bureaucrat to hunt down the behemoth of the third-level Shenzheng next time?
Master Huang was puzzled by Mr. Li's expression. Although he was aware of Li You's plan to rectify Shi Shenzheng, he did not know Li You's final intention to force Shi Shenzheng to resign. Therefore, he did not understand why Li You changed his acting career and became a successful actor.
The bitter sentiment sect, ask now.
"If Chen Xundao doesn't pick up the call, and the government office doesn't pick up the call either, and we only have one day tomorrow, can Shi Shenzheng find someone else to replace Jian Lin?"
"That's it!" Mr. Huang clapped his legs and praised: "I didn't expect this. Mr. Li is worthy of being a subordinate of the public servants. He is deeply familiar with the three flavors. He is so vicious!"
Is this a compliment for being a junior official? Li You, who had become taboo about talking about his background, immediately turned his face dark.
Mr. Huang quickly said: "But you don't have to worry, Chen Xundao is not a heartless and unrighteous person. As long as he is in charge of the administrative supervision department, he will not let Shi Dacan impeach you. In terms of age, Shi Dacan cannot survive Chen Xundao."
road."
Then he handed Li You a piece of paper and changed the topic: "Chen Xundao was also afraid that you might misunderstand, so he specially entrusted me to come and explain the situation. This is the preliminary promotion list, which will be announced tomorrow morning."
Your yamen still has to do things without your own authority... Li You suppressed his slightly proud mood and unfolded the list to see that his name was indeed on it. He couldn't help but sigh: "The roll call will be called at two o'clock in the morning tomorrow. I will sleep tomorrow night."
I feel uneasy! But serving the country and sharing the worries of Chen Xundao is my duty as an official, and my heart and brains will be ruined!"
"This..." Mr. Huang carefully weighed his words and said, "You'd better find a beautiful woman to roll into a ball and sleep peacefully. After the list is announced, Chen Xundao will cross out your name again."
"Why?" Li You asked in surprise.
"I proposed a plan to Chen Xundao and used your name to show my impartiality and selflessness!" Master Huang explained. Seeing that Li You was silent, he spoke again: "Everyone knows that you have a close relationship with Chen Xundao. Even you
If you don’t use them all, doesn’t it seem fair? Look at the flower list you selected with great fanfare, it’s just a reversal of black and white. Although there is a metaphor, everyone..."
If Li You's name was not on the list at the beginning, no one would probably have noticed anything. But if Li You's name was on the list at the beginning, and then Chen Xundao was removed, such changes would make everyone feel that Chen Xundao was
It is indeed impartial and selfless. In essence, it is still a trick of "turning bad things into good things".
Li You raised his hand to stop Mr. Huang from continuing, "I understand! I won't hold any grudges!"
Then he also took out a list and said: "There are a few names here. I hope they will be allowed to enter. Please ask them to bring their notebooks with them and pay more attention to them in the examination room."
After Master Huang finished reading, he stood up and stood at attention. He bowed deeply and said, "There are college examinations every year. How about leaving this matter to next year? This year, Chen Xundao came to the prison for the first time. It was intended to be in August to clear the name."
Seriously. There must be no rumor, no evidence is given to anyone, and all promotions must be rigorous. In the next generation, Chen Xundao will make amends to Lord Li."
Master Huang is really worried that Li You has strange ideas. Firstly, he is afraid that Li You will be too smart. He knows Master Li's destructive power very well. Secondly, he is afraid that Li You will be dissatisfied.
Another big gesture said: "Chen Xundao knows that he has wronged Mr. Li this time. If it were not for his inconvenience, he would definitely come to apologize in person. I would also like to ask Mr. Li to understand that the mountains are high and the rivers are long, and we must not do anything else at this time.
There's trouble!"
Seeing Mr. Huang, who had the reputation of being a civil servant, repeatedly offering lavish gifts, Li You was not a person who did not understand the rules. He sighed and said: "Chen Xundao has been so kind to me, and Mr. Huang is here personally. How can I be selfish and ignore it?"
My benefactor."
Mr. Huang was a little reassured and gave Li You a look that said, "You put the overall situation first, and the organization will not forget you." He repeatedly warned and comforted Li You with kind words.
All in all, after Li You saw off Mr. Huang who came to visit late at night, he stood in the atrium with his hands folded, deep in thought.
Abstractly speaking, the relationship between Shi Shenzheng and Li You is an ideological issue for Mr. Shi, but for Li Tuiguan, it is an issue involving practical interests. With Shi Shenzheng in charge of Suzhou Prefecture, Li You seems to have
Sun Houhou, who is under a tight spell, dare not do anything corrupt or illegal.
Mr. Li built momentum and took advantage of it, spending more than half a month of energy. Seeing the plan being realized step by step, Shi Shenzheng was also forced into a corner step by step as he expected. When the net was about to be closed, this was the ending.
It would be a pity if he died midway. Every plan will succeed. It was not that he was not mentally prepared for failure. But it was clearly at the last moment, and the daughter of failure was within reach, but the mother of success jumped out.
It is really disappointing to block Li's salty pig hand back.
Forget it, being able to pave the way for Chen Dudu and escort him will be a gain without any harm...
Li Tuiguan counted the results of this battle, but the highest goal was not achieved. Shi Shenzheng was still the same Shi Shenzheng, and he was still firmly in the administrative office.
But the minimum goal was achieved. Although he was not able to drive Shi Shi to participate in politics and resign, at least he was prevented from supervising the college entrance examination and the August rural examination. It was considered that he had lived up to his trust and had an explanation.
In addition, what makes Li Tuiguan more unhappy is that other people think that Shi Shenzheng's scandal was an accident. There was not a large number of onlookers who discovered him, appreciated him, praised him, and admired him for a few thousand words. Even if there is no exhaustion, so
The pride of the weak defeating the strong can only be felt in the heart with no one to talk to (except for the last calculation when manpower is sometimes scarce).
The college examination seems to be completely irrelevant to Li You! The new house in Fucheng has been renovated in the past few days, and Li Tuiguan has returned to Xujiang County to move his family to Fucheng.
It is said that the grading of the college examination is not like the provincial examination. It is very casual, and only the names are not copied (in some places, the names are not obscured). The grading speed is also fast, and there is no need to write comments. Many papers with poor standards can be read from the beginning.
It can be thrown away.
Within a few days, the results of the Suzhou Prefecture Examination in the seventh year of Jinghe were released. Each county took about twenty or thirty students, and it was still a situation where hundreds of families were happy and thousands were sad, and the majority of people who failed the examination were always
.
Because Chen Xundao is a supervisor and needs to re-examine new students, the list of questions for the undergraduate college examination (admission list) was sent to the supervision branch early.
However, he said that Mr. Huang helped the proprietor pass the college examination safely and suppressed the judge Li. He was in a good mood and browsed through the title list.
Because Mr. Huang had just graduated from the Xujiang County Government Office, he looked at the Xujiang County Directory very carefully. He followed the scholar's habit of searching and evaluating people with whom he could build relationships. This is already the instinctive behavior of a scholar. No.
If you form groups and make friends, are you still a scholar?
However, Mr. Huang soon discovered something unusual that no one else knew but he understood. There were five names on the list that Li You secretly gave him that night, and all of them were in the list without exception!
Isn't this strange? You know, a total of 657 students participated in the undergraduate program, and 34 students were admitted. The admission rate is about one out of twenty.
And the five names that Li You showed him were all on the list! The odds of adding up the five names to one-twentieth, who said it was luck? Who would believe it?
In other words, they all have outstanding talents. Li Tuiguan has a keen eye for talents, and the great master also rewards the underachievers. Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Master Huang definitely does not believe it!
Mr. Huang can confirm that there is absolutely no back door for anyone, including Li You, in the Jian Lin promotion part. Even if a back door is opened to allow plagiarism, there is no guarantee that he will be admitted, let alone all five admitted, and the person who will grade the exam is not the Jian Lin official.
The only one who can do this is to recruit whoever he wants...the only one who can do it is the Grand Master and the Academic Officer, who is locked up in the Gongyuan.
Thinking of this, Mr. Huang, who has always had a gentle temper and only joked a few words with others, couldn't help but roar in his heart, "Li You, I will punch your lungs out!"
That night, he carefully bowed down and gave a big gift to the left, lest Mr. Li would get emotional and Mr. Li had some ideas. Who knew that Li You actually secretly visited Chen Cang without telling him! Although the spirit of confidentiality is commendable...
There must be some unknown secret in this... Isn't it true that Li You and Shi Dacan are just fighting over each other as they appear on the surface? Is there something behind the scenes?
Master Huang felt that he had to find out the truth, for the sake of the thirst for knowledge that he had developed during his career as an aide, and for the sake of his proprietor's career.
