The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 547 Xue Pan Comes Home
The Spring Festival passed quickly, and February also passed by. The Xue family mother and daughter had been waiting for several months, and finally arrived.

Xue Pan belonged to the first batch of crackdown targets. This group of people can be regarded as chickens to scare monkeys, so everyone from top to bottom attaches great importance to it.

Jin Yiwei dispatched elites, and Kou Zhong and others trained them solidly for half a month. They were all black and thin, and they all obeyed the instructor's orders. They looked a bit like an army. , had just been arranged to work in the village outside the city - of course, those who had committed the most heinous crimes had gone to build the imperial mausoleum.

The days of reeducation through labor are not scattered.

In addition to the four hours of labor camp during the day, they also have cultural classes for two hours at night.

To put it simply, in addition to letting them know the majesty of the emperor and the laws of the country, it is to recognize themselves and why they came here.

Then teach them to practice Chinese and calligraphy.

You must know that even though Da Zhou was under the Han regime, the literacy rate was still as low as ever. Xue Pan was born in a wealthy family, so he could naturally read a few words, and was promoted to be the captain of the team, leading the whole team to read articles in their spare time—nothing more than some eager to learn and make progress. , The article praised by the family.

This day was the day to release them. Early in the morning, Jinyiwei sent dozens of four-wheeled carriages, stuffed a group of people into it, and sent them to the commander's yamen of Jinyiwei - preparing to screen them one by one and release them.

Naturally, their family members got the news early in the morning, and Aunt Xue also arranged for a servant to wait outside the Jinyiwei yamen.

At that time, a large number of people came out, and it was so crowded that many family members couldn't help but rush over and cry when they saw their own family members coming out.

So the Xue family boy was dumbfounded.

There are too many people, and all of them are black and white, where is my uncle!

It wasn't until Xue Pan walked in front of him that the servant realized it and quickly saluted.But Xue Pan directly grabbed him and said, "I'm going home today, so I don't need to salute. How are you, madam and young lady?"

"If you go back to the uncle, the wife and the girl have been looking forward to the uncle's return. This morning, they arranged for the younger one to come and wait. At this moment, the wife and the girl are probably waiting at home desperately." The boy said hastily.

"Okay, let's go, the past has made them worry!" Xue Pan said lightly.

With such a calm style, how can there be any trace of the bluffing style of my uncle in the past?

It seems that the reeducation through labor has reformed a lot in the past two months!
The boy complained in his heart, but he didn't say anything, but he was a little more in awe. After Xue Pan got into the car, he drove home.

When we arrived at Xue's house, a servant had already prepared things, stepped over the brazier, and used leaves to wash away the bad luck all over her body. When she entered the main room, she saw Aunt Xue, supported by Baochai, rushing towards her with a cry. Holding Xue Pan in his arms, words like "Son, dear, you are suffering" came out along with the crying.

While comforting her mother, Xue Baochai stared at her elder brother, and saw that although he was darker and thinner a lot, his old vain and excited expression was gone, replaced by restrained and steady eyes, and his eyes were not as bright as before because of excessive play. It was full of blood, but it was much brighter.

Could it be that, instead of breaking his body and making him suffer, the reeducation through labor made him mentally better?

Just as Baochai thought of this, she saw Xue Pan gently pushing her mother away, and knelt down on her knees, saying: "Mother, in the past, my son was disobedient and lost discipline, which made my mother worry and fear all day long, and my troubled sister also worried about me." It has been reduced a lot. All of this is due to the disobedience of the son, and the failure of the elder brother to set an example. Now that I think about it, it is really unworthy. From now on, I decided to change my past. If I make my mother and sister worry again On that day, I will never live again."

After hearing what Xue Pan said, Aunt Xue was relieved and emotional at the same time, and couldn't help crying again.

Baochai was still sensible, so she hurriedly comforted her mother, and then said to her elder brother: "If my elder brother can change his past, my mother and I must be overjoyed."

Aunt Xue finally finished crying, seeing Xue Pan so black and thin, she said: "Poor child, he must be very hungry." She quickly ordered the kitchen to serve food and wine, to comfort her son well.

But I didn't expect Xue Pan to sit there, not drinking at all, and although he devoured the meal, he was very gentle, which made Aunt Xue and Baochai stunned, but deeply relieved.

It seems that Xue Pan has really changed.

Just when the Xue family was very happy, the Chunwei exam began.

Of course Chen Zhao got rid of all his errands and concentrated on taking the exam.

However, his subordinates stayed in Jinyiwei one by one, half of them were middle and senior officials, and even Kou Zhong was promoted to a hundred households.

The emperor's intention was very clear, to let Chen Zhao maintain his influence in Jinyiwei.

In February of the fourth year of Xiaode, the year of Gengchen, there will be an examination in the capital.

The content of the Dazhou Examination focuses on classics, poems and Fu.The Chinese-style candidates for the provincial examinations will enter Beijing in March of the following year to take the examination hosted by the Ministry of Rites.Candidates who failed in the previous examinations can also take the examination together.Because the exam is in spring, it is also called spring exam or Chunwei.If there is Enke in the township examination, the examination will also be held in the next year, which is called Enke.

Although the Gongyuan is small in size and has been in disrepair for many years, and the environment is indescribably uncomfortable, for people like Chen Zhao, it is simply a piece of cake.

The number one scholar in this subject is Chen Dehua from Zhili, the second place is Wang Anguo from Gaoyou, and the third is Wang Derong from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

In fact, in Chen Zhao's mind, as long as he is willing, he can take the exam to be the number one scholar or something.

But after all, he was too close to the limelight before, and he was the target of public criticism, so he deliberately kept a low profile and didn't want to be too prominent, so he only occupied a list among the top 50 players in the second class.

Under normal circumstances, most of the people who passed the Jinshi examination became Hanlin officials.The number one scholar is awarded editing and writing; the second place and Tanhua are awarded editing and editing.[-]. The top three can be selected as Shu Jishi, or awarded to Shizhong, Principal, Zhongshusheren, Pedestrian, Dr. Taichang, Dr. Guozi, etc., or awarded to local government officials, government magistrates, county magistrates, county magistrates, etc. Cheng and other officials.Although I have passed the Jinshi examination, there is a lot of room for the arrangement of official positions. What kind of official I can be depends on the relationship between opportunities and myself.

But Chen Zhao is different.

Before taking the exam, he had already worked as a senior official from the third rank.

Whether it is rectifying Jinyiwei in the capital, or fighting salt merchants in Yangzhou, they all embody first-class official methods and attract the attention of everyone.

Although it is said that the military is noble and the military is cheap, no matter what others say, it is still a third-rank military officer acting as an agent.

Now after the test, you ask someone to be a seventh-rank official. Who are you looking down on?

But since Emperor Xiaode had already made arrangements, he was obviously well prepared.

Therefore, Chen Zhao was awarded Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple and concurrently served as Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu.

Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple is from the fourth rank and is the second-ranking figure in Dali Temple. His power and status are second only to the minister of Dali Temple who is from the third rank.

Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi is the third grade.

This Zhan Shi Mansion is a yamen dedicated to assisting the Prince of the East Palace. The highest Zhan Shi is an official of the third rank.

However, because the princes of the Zhou Dynasty had little real power before ascending the throne, official positions in Zhan Shifu were generally awarded to ministers as honorary titles.

And Chen Zhao was the one who received the reward.

In other words, he is now Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who is in the fourth rank. Because of his previous meritorious service, he was awarded Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, who is in the third rank.

From this moment on, Chen Zhao really started his career as a civil servant in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

According to the rules of Dali Temple, You Shaoqing is in charge of sentencing, and Zuo Shaoqing is in charge of judging the accumulated cases.

Therefore, Chen Zhao's main job is to review old cases.

Of course, that was after taking office.

The current job is to have a good leisure time.
