The little monk who crossed the Red Mansion

Ten days later, there was another explosive news in the capital, and the fourth elder brother finally made a move.

The fourth elder brother actually wants to organize officials to take an exam!

The notice has been posted that all officials in Beijing, regardless of their rank, must take the qualification examination of their department, and the results of the examination will be included in the annual assessment of the Ministry of Officials.

This is really frustrating, and the notice didn't say what to test or how to do it.

Could it be that they are really not allowed to live a good year!

Those who think too highly of themselves or have a guilty conscience are going to be fried. One side feels that such a sudden test is a distrust of them and an insult to them.

The other kind is pure fear. They are not from serious imperial examination backgrounds. How can this test be so easy.

Immediately someone jumped out and said it was against the rules.

The fourth elder brother only said one sentence, "Rules? What are rules?" One sentence stopped the man.

Then he said disdainfully to the crowd: "All of you have passed the Qiuwei and Chunwei exams based on your real skills. Why do you just act like this when you hear the word "examination?"

And those who have been favored are afraid of even taking an exam, aren't they afraid of letting down His Majesty's trust in you? "

Who dares to say anything?

The fourth elder brother and Kangxi really deserve to be father and son, they are so capricious in their words!

Many old officials in the capital have gray hair and beards, and they are really not afraid of asking them to take the exam.

People like them all follow their routines and rules. Although they are officials, they still keep their hands on the paper every day.

Have you ever slacked off one day.

It's just that they still feel a little uncomfortable to let them take the exam with some young people or even their own students.

However, since Prince Yong had already spoken, knowing that this stubborn man would not change his words, he could only hurry up and go home and read two more books.

These people didn't know that they were all misled by the fourth elder brother, and they didn't say what they were going to take the exam at all.

I don't do my job well every day, I just know that I'm there holding a book of Four Books and Five Classics, which is of some use.

This exam is divided into six parts. The third elder brother supervises the Ministry of Rites, the fifth elder brother supervises the official department, the seventh elder brother supervises the punishment department, the eighth elder brother supervises the industry department, the ninth elder brother supervises the household department, and the tenth elder brother supervises the military department.

The elder brothers in the capital are ranked from the oldest to the youngest, and the first few have all got jobs, which is fair.

But he really doesn't want to be chosen by Elder Brother Ten. He is currently practicing kung fu, so he doesn't have time to take care of these trivial matters.

But the fourth child actually threatened him with a book of sword techniques, hey, what else can he do, except compromise or compromise.

No matter how you say these are officials, it is impossible to lock people in the numbered room for the exam.

And it doesn't take that long here, so there's no need to make it so complicated.

The number of people in each department is not too many except for the small officials, so I just found a relatively large room with tables and chairs in it, and it was right to be the examination place.

When I just sat there, there were some proud and some disappointed among the crowd.

But when the exam questions came out, the situation seemed to be reversed.

Some of the complacent people were already pale, but some of the people who had no energy suddenly became energetic.

Haha, it turned out to be such a test, really worthy of being the fourth master, just hard work.

Just like that, after an exam, someone scolded the fourth elder brother to death in his stomach.

Some people saw the benefits of fourth elder brother, and thought that they would be lucky to be able to work under fourth master in the future.

The exam questions this time are actually not difficult at all as long as these people do things seriously.

For example, the general idea of ​​the test questions of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is that you are given a clue to the case, and you are asked to follow this clue to find the murderer, and you must be sentenced according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty.

Finally, let me give you a brief introduction to some of the more common Qing regulations.

Is this difficult for officials of the Criminal Ministry?

For some people, it should not be too simple, but for some people, it is rare that they have already reached the blue sky. For them, these things are naturally done by the master's disciples, and it is not their turn for a master to use their brains.

Master, of course, as long as you know some stereotyped scriptures and learn some appreciation and commentary, you will be fine. How can you know these things.

······

The fourth elder brother was looking at the papers there, really wanting to read one and tear the other, the six yamen plus the Imperial Academy.

It turned out that only those old scholars from the Ministry of Rites who liked to chew on words and those scholars from the Imperial Academy could pass the exam.

In other departments, only [-]% of the answers were completely correct.

About [-]% of the people answered most of the questions correctly.

Of the remaining [-]%, gibberish and inappropriate speech accounted for most of it.

Looking at the brothers sitting below who were drinking tea quietly, the fourth elder brother said angrily:

"Don't act like there's nothing wrong with you there.

Since these people are eating vegetarian meals, they should directly notify the Ministry of Officials that this year's evaluation will be directly rated as 'Xiaxia', so they can all go home and pick up their children.

I don't even know what I'm going to do, so keeping them is just a waste of rice.

However, for the sake of the stability of the six departments, I will trouble a few brothers to sit in each department from now on. "

"Fourth brother, don't bring such a thing. Doesn't the military department belong to the eldest brother? You can bring him back, how can the younger brother have the ability to take care of these things?" The tenth brother became anxious when he heard it.

He has already been beaten by Thirteen and Fourteen, those two cunning boys have left a lot behind, how can he catch up if this continues.

"Big brother is serving by Khan Ama's side, how can he come back?" Fourth elder brother stared at tenth elder brother, which was also worrying.

"Then let Shi 34 whoever cares, I can't do it anyway." Elder Brother Shi directly put down the pick.

The fourth elder brother glanced at the other brothers. Although they were all frowning, at least they didn't make any noise, which was considered a way of saving face.

He glared at Eleven again, only this bastard was not stingy.

He simply threatened: "Whatever you do in the future, I will have a credit here. If there is no credit, don't think about me giving you anything good."

With this sentence, not only the eyes of the other elder brothers who said it brightened, even the tenth elder brother also changed his tone just now.

He sat down with a grin.

"Is what the fourth brother just said true?"

"Third Brother, don't worry, this Qing Dynasty does not belong to any one person. It is impossible for me to take care of it alone. There will always be times to trouble you brothers.

However, I am also worried that my brothers' cultivation will be delayed because of this.

So, elder brothers who are in charge like you, third brother, I will give you a spirit stone every month to ensure that your cultivation speed will not drop. "

As he spoke, he glanced at Su Peisheng, Su Peisheng immediately understood, and went down to fetch things.

The fourth elder brother continued: "Besides, you can't practice hard all the time. It's not good for your mood, and it's not a long-term way. It's better to practice something while practicing."

The tenth elder brother couldn't bear it any longer, and as soon as the fourth elder brother finished speaking, he hurriedly asked: "The fourth elder brother hasn't said what the spirit stone is yet?"

The fourth elder brother was about to answer when he saw Su Peisheng leading a few people in. Each of them had a tray in their hands, and on each tray were three ordinary stones.

Now even the third elder brother was surprised, "Fourth, don't you think this thing is a spirit stone? This is, this is..."

"Third brother, don't underestimate it. They say that spirits are self-obscuring. It's just their own ability to hide. Hold it tightly with your hands and feel it with your heart."

With a wave of his hand, the spirit stones were in the hands of all elder brothers, and several young eunuchs retreated in a single file.

The elder brothers were all curious, and couldn't help holding it in their hands, sensing it with their hearts.

Sure enough, gusts of spiritual energy flowed out from the stone very quickly, and the true energy in the body circulated for a week, and the amount of spiritual energy absorbed almost caught up with what they absorbed in a day.

Now the eyes of the few people looking at the stone became brighter.

The fourth elder brother said again: "To tell you the truth, brothers, this spirit stone is hard to find just by looking at it.

I also got some by chance, and I don't know if I can find them again before they run out.

Except for the unconditional supply from Khan Amma, if you brothers want it, you can only help me share some things. "

What he said was simple and straightforward, but he didn't have much to say. They were already very grateful for the practice of the fourth child, so when he arranged things for them just now, although he was a little reluctant, he still complied. .

That's why the old ten didn't pay attention to these people's sophistication, that's why he said that.

Of course, with these spirit stones now, even the slightest reluctance is gone.

Even, he wished he could earn more errands, but the fourth child said that he would do little credit for it.

Naturally, the more errands, the more credit, and the more rewards.

The tenth elder brother even grinned and patted his chest to assure: "Don't worry, fourth brother, my younger brother will definitely take care of the affairs of the Ministry of War.

Definitely let those old guys pretend to be grandchildren for me obediently. "

In a word, the fourth elder brother was a little skeptical. Shouldn't he be working for the tenth elder brother? Can this younger brother really take care of him?

In any case, after this day, six people from the six departments officially came to Zhenshan Taisui.

Some of those who failed the exam at that time got the opportunity to make up the exam, but more of them were directly dismissed.

Among them is Jia Zheng, the second master of Rongguo Mansion.

On the contrary, some officials with some abilities were exceptionally promoted.

It's true that some families are happy and some are sad.

Ah Zhe knew about this matter, so he didn't need to think about it to know that Jia's family should be lively again these days, so he inevitably paid attention to it.
