Chapter 181: Preferential treatment is also a burden
Suspended? Imprisoned? What kind of happy event is this? Repaying kindness with vengeance? Killing the donkey? Li You's expression instantly turned pale. Countless thoughts that he should and shouldn't have flashed through his mind. His heart shook violently a few times, and his voice stuttered slightly:
"Why, how could it be like this? Don't make fun of me, old man. What's your crime?"
Master Huang looked at him inexplicably. He originally came to appreciate Mr. Li's troubled expression, but he never expected that Mr. Li would have such a terrifying expression, as if he was frightened and saw a ghost.
Suddenly, I realized that the man in front of me, Mr. Li, was astonishingly talented in poetry, but his reputation was just a blank slate. Could it be that there was a ridiculous misunderstanding? He felt funny and explained: "You don't understand the meaning? Being in prison is...
Go to the Imperial College to study! Where did you think you were going?"
It turned out that he was going to study... The frightened Tuiguan Li was sweating profusely and took a long breath. Only then did he remember that in this era, going to the Imperial College to study was called imprisonment, and it was not the subconsciously associated meaning of imprisonment. When he realized it, he
He was shocked and said: "Why should I go to the Imperial College to study? At least the people who enter the Imperial College are scholars, so how can there be any reason for me to go?"
To put it simply, there are two ways for scholars in the imperial dynasty to become officials. One is to take the imperial examination. If you fail to pass the imperial examination, you still have to pass the imperial examination; the second is to enter the prison. If you can stay in the Imperial College for a few years and drop out, you will have the background of a prison student.
Official qualifications. Although the two go hand in hand, the popularity of imperial examinations these days has seriously squeezed the upward path for supervisory students.
In addition, it is rare for officials who are even less impressive to join the officialdom, such as Li You.
Master Huang looked at Li You's expression again and asked: "The quality of the prison students is not as good as that of the Jinshi, and the imperial examinations have the honors, but after all, it is better to come from a school than to have no background. You don't want to go when you get this good opportunity?"
Li You said solemnly: "Tai Xue is the place where the country reserves scholars and cultivates talents. I am an official with little knowledge and short talent, so I feel guilty. I'd better give this place to a more talented scholar! Besides, I don't have any honors in the imperial examination, so I have no chance to join."
If you want to get a school, don’t destroy the country’s system for me, that would be a great sin!”
What Mr. Li actually said was - studying is boring, and I don't want to suffer the hardship.
Although it is said that being a supervisor can elevate Mr. Li, who has a whiteboard reputation, to a higher level and expand his room for advancement. He might still be interested in struggling at the bottom a year ago, but now he really doesn't want to travel thousands of miles away in the dust.
Studying in the capital.
I went to school for nearly 20 years in my last life, and I'm tired of it. I don't want to continue in this life.
Others went to the Imperial College to study in order to have a decent background, and after they graduated, they were qualified to be officials. To put it bluntly, they entered the Imperial College and worked hard with textbooks in order to become an official. Although Li You did not have a serious background (not to mention being a civil servant)
, but by chance, he was promoted to the seventh rank and already had a good official position. Why did he go to the Imperial Academy to suffer?
Besides, the vast majority of the prison students are not as good as him. Even if those people can successfully complete their studies, save enough credits (the Imperial College really has a credit system these days), get the rank of prison students after being dropped out of school, and be selected and appointed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, they will usually be employed for the rest of their lives.
Surrounded by pornographic products and school instructors.
Those who are unlucky will become a pillar like the famous supporting actor Cui Jiansheng. It is said that there are sometimes tens of thousands of candidates for the selection of supervisors in the civil service department...
In Li You's mind, even if he can't be promoted to be a seventh-ranker for life, it's still good. There are hundreds of millions of people in the world, and there are probably no more than 10,000 officials (including military attachés and internal officers) who are better than him. What else is there to be dissatisfied about? However,
Chen Dadu obviously had good intentions and worked hard to help him plan his development path. It would be too disrespectful to refuse him directly...
So Li You planned to talk about it from a technical point of view, "The country has its own system. You can't enter a school without taking the imperial examination, let alone the Imperial College and the Imperial College. At the very least, only talented students with meritorious deeds are eligible to study in the prison. Isn't this what I'm doing?"
Aren't you afraid of causing criticism from the government and the public and damaging Chen Xundao's clear name?"
Master Huang smiled and said, "Even in the most stringent times, there are still high-ranking officials recommending a shadow prison system for one of their own children. What's more, the court has a new policy recently, which has not yet been implemented in the county. I'm afraid you don't know about it."
"What new deal?"
"In recent years, the imperial examination has become more and more popular, and the talents of the Imperial College have withered. The imperial court has decreed that officials who have entered the official position, or those who have not entered the official position, can be recommended by officials of fourth grade or above to enter the prison to study, so as to avoid the regret that the country has left behind talented people. This is called supplementation.
Supervisor Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs mentioned this matter in a letter to Chen Xundao, and Chen Xundao asked Xu Shangshu to recommend you."
Li You sighed in his heart, Mr. Chen, you are really... Oh... Damn, this trivial matter has actually implicated the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who holds the future of 80% of the officials in the world, and the matter is even more complicated.
The Imperial College is divided into two prisons, the Capital and Nanjing. In recent years, the students in the northern and southern prisons have always managed to maintain a number of one thousand or several hundred students, which is much less than the normal two or three thousand students in other periods of the imperial court. Compared with the seven
The peak period of 8,000 people was even more different.
The main reason is that the value of supervisory students is not as high as it used to be. It is becoming more and more difficult to assign work, the job remuneration is getting lower and lower, and the chances of promotion are getting smaller and smaller. As a result, ambitious people would rather squeeze thousands of troops into a single-plank bridge to win the imperial examination than
They are willing to go to prison and study to survive a poor background; as for those who have no ambition, many do not want to waste their time.
Faced with this situation, some people started to seek advice. The only solution now is to expand the recruitment, and recruit those officials who are from civil service backgrounds and officials who are not in the mainstream (there are officials below the ninth grade who are called "not in the mainstream") who are aspiring to make progress into the Imperial College.
Study. Even if you don't have any fame, you can still be given a favor, so as not to avoid the Imperial College dormitory (dormitory) being mostly empty and haunted.
The big guys and the little guys in the imperial court argued a lot and actually passed this plan. In fact, it doesn't matter, Quan should be regarded as a supplement to the Yin Prison. These days, even the children of the powerful don't like to come to the Imperial College. These people prefer to go to Jinyiwei to wait for their relatives.
If you take a post in Weizhong to earn a salary, you can also inherit a share of the military attache's family fortune.
By the way, the Jinghe Dynasty was ruled by civil servants, and the Jinyiwei did not set up powerful and domineering north and south towns and prisons for many years, so the officials no longer had to admire and yearn for them.
Mr. Huang was afraid that Li You would not appreciate it, "It seems that you are lucky. The quota recommended by Xu Shangshu was originally intended to be used by Chen Xundao when the examination was not going well. As a result, Chen Xundao's imperial examination went smoothly and he passed the Jinshi examination.
It is no longer needed, and now I recommend you to make up for the prison sentence. You can rest assured about the rest, and still keep the original title and official title, whether it is the seventh grade or the seventh grade."
After listening to Mr. Huang's explanation, Li You suddenly realized that with such a background, it was no wonder that he could also go to the Imperial College to study. The seemingly new supplementary prison, wasn't it the adult education in his previous life, on-the-job graduate students and the like?
To go or not to go? It was really a question that troubled him.
If we go, the capital is nearly 3,000 miles away from Suzhou, and the journey takes a month. It is unlikely that we will take our wives and concubines there. It will feel like abandoning our family and career and leaving our hometown. Besides, I don’t know how long it will take to study. I heard that the normal state of the Imperial College is four years of study.
...It is estimated that the supplementary prison sentence will not be that long, but it will take at least a year and a half. After studying, it is still unknown what official position you will be. Wouldn't it be more exciting than now?
If you don't go, it's okay for Chen Xundao, but what about the other side? Although the prison students are recognized as not valuable, the face of the world's first minister is also worthless? The official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs rewarded you with a big face and recommended you to go to prison. How can you still do it?
Dare you shirk it?
Li You, who was hesitant about what to do, once again felt personally that in official circles, you can't help yourself... Sometimes the preferential treatment given to you by others is also a burden.
