Chapter 540 The Road to the Imperial Examination (18)

After the parade was over, as soon as Yan Ling returned to the mansion, she heard Wen Shimu say such a sentence.

"What sachet, do you admire me?"

Wen Shimu's face turned black, as if he had swallowed a fly: "I'm not as good as Long Yang, I just threw that sachet away."

Yan Ling raised her eyebrows: "Really?"

"Of course." He quickly changed the subject: "I have sent someone back to my hometown to deliver the message, do you want to take your aunt to Beijing?"

"Yes, but there's no rush for now. I'll take my mother over after I have family leave. What about you?"

"We don't know yet. We need to pass the Civil Service Selection Examination again. Only after passing the exam can we be released and awarded the title of official."

Taking off the burlap clothes and putting on official uniforms is the so-called "release of brown and conferring officials".

I'm afraid that after this time, she and Wen Shimu will part ways, and I don't know if he can stay in the capital. Jinshi in the capital is nothing, so he can only be a petty official, or everyone can step on him the petty officer.

But if he is sent to other places, he can be a magistrate of one side. The official is not big, but he can be regarded as free in that side.

The next day, Yan Ling went to the Imperial Academy on foot.

Everyone's attitude towards her is neither indifferent nor enthusiastic, which is good. She focuses on her work.

In fact, the work of the Hanlin Academy is very complicated and boring, but Yan Ling can patiently look it up and check it slowly.

This is also a Qingshui department, even if it is a Hanlin bachelor, it is just a fifth grade.

After Yan Ling stayed here for a few days, she found that all the materials were arranged irregularly, and there was no catalog to record them in detail.

Afterwards, he wrote down all his suggestions and handed them over to Xu Bo, a Hanlin scholar.

After Xu Bo read it, he felt that it was very feasible and was very happy. He praised her a lot and then handed it to the emperor.

As usual, it would be normal for superiors to ignore the merits of subordinates or add their own name, but now everyone knows that Yan Ling is quite favored, so naturally they dare not take her credit.

As soon as the emperor saw the words on the fold, he knew it was Yan Ling and immediately summoned her.

Outside the imperial study room, the eunuch said a few nice words to Yan Ling, and after building a relationship, he let her in.

Yan Ling only slightly bent over: "My minister sees the emperor."

"Exemption."

The corner of the eunuch's chief eunuch, Eunuch Le, twitched his lips. It's not polite, if he was spared, where would he be spared?
The emperor picked up the notebook: "I heard that you wrote it."

"Go back to the emperor, that's right."

"I think it's feasible, it's written very well, and I'll implement it immediately."

"Yes, the emperor is indeed wise."

"Okay, I don't need your flattery. Tell me about the recent offences from small frontier countries. Do you have a countermeasure?"

Yan Ling was dumbfounded, she was just an editor of the Hanlin Academy, and she was just talking about the catalog book, why did she ask her an offensive question about a small frontier country now.

The scope of this question is a bit wide.

In fact, it was also because of Yan Ling's hint some time ago that the emperor felt that she was omnipotent and the only virtuous minister who could help him.

But now the problem of repeated offenses by small frontier countries has not been resolved. Dali looks powerful, but in fact it has almost become an empty shell.

If it is normal, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can be regarded as a noble pursuit.

But when countries confront each other, what is relied on is great strength and military force. Is there anyone who will each take out a piano and play it better than the other when the two armies are confronting each other?
Or draw a picture on the spot to see who can draw better?
Yan Ling: "I believe that we should first send troops to suppress the frontiers and stabilize the situation, and then expand our military strength, develop weapons manufacturing, and strengthen military drills..."

The military force of the Dali Dynasty was not high, but it was just large in number. The army was first sent to suppress and protect the people.

After that, the most important thing is to expand military strength, develop weapons manufacturing, and strengthen military training. This is to fundamentally solve the problem of insufficient force.

The emperor looked distressed: "But the army consumes a lot, this..."

Yan Ling knew it, but she had no money!
Everyone below is full of greed, and the merchants are extremely rich. However, the national treasury is very empty, and the ordinary people are also poor.

Yan Ling: "Your Majesty, there are too many corrupt officials, they cannot be tolerated. Severe punishment is needed to return the common people to a peaceful and prosperous world."

Small greed cannot be cured, but big greed must be cured. If the big greed is cured, the small greed will not dare to be greedy anymore.

Ruoyanling is just an ordinary official, she naturally dare not say these words, and she doesn't know how many people she will offend, but she knows that the emperor will not be angry, and will protect her in front of all officials, she just needs to hug the emperor Just thighs.

And she will also protect the emperor's life.

Emperor: "I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"Your Majesty must have evidence of being a corrupt official. If it's not easy for you to take action, then I will hand it over to my minister, and I will propose it. The Emperor only needs to agree."

In fact, there is nothing wrong with handing over this criminal evidence to Yan Ling, not only because the emperor was implied to trust her wholeheartedly.

In addition, the emperor already had these criminal evidences, but it was not easy to punish them. The relationships among those officials were so intricate that if one person was eliminated, it would not be known how many people would be pulled out.

Even if other people got their criminal evidence, at most they would sue the emperor, otherwise, where else could they go, and the emperor already had these criminal evidence, so what if they gave it to others?
But if the emperor has evidence of guilt and doesn't want to punish them, that's another matter.

And no emperor can tolerate the greedy and insatiable search of the people by his subordinates.

The conversation between the two did not avoid Eunuch Le, the chief eunuch, but Eunuch Le knew very well that he was the emperor's man, and if the emperor was gone, then he would not be able to do this as the chief eunuch.

Only when people live clearly and understand their own situation can they be invincible.

So he won't talk about these things.

I am afraid that there will be another bloodbath in the court tomorrow. It has been a long time since such a thing happened. Except for the year when the emperor ascended the throne, every day in these years has been stable. The early court is also very boring.

Holding a thick stack of criminal evidence in his arms, Yan Ling left the imperial study room with his head held high, and Eunuch Le looked in admiration.

She stayed up late at night and read all the evidence, and Yan Ling knew them all by heart.

Even she, who had seen many things, was so angry that she wanted to kill them immediately.

Sometimes the great evil is not as infuriating as the little sinful thing, because the little thing is closer to life and more sympathetic to you.

For example, if a person wants to destroy the world, you will think that he is abnormal, that his brain is broken, but he will not feel resentful and angry.

But if a person rapes a young girl, murders a family and seizes property, murders other people's lives for his own self-interest, corrupts the law, wrongs good people, and lets the heinous people go unpunished...

This kind of person will make people hate it!
