What kind of bad thoughts can my grandpa have?

====================

After drinking for three rounds, not only Shizi's father was overwhelmed by drinking, but even Shizi couldn't bear it anymore, his head was dizzy, and his tongue started to slur when talking.

There were also quite a few colleagues who had drunk too much, some of them chanted poems against alcohol, and some of them talked about romance, probably taking advantage of the drunkenness, the topics they talked about gradually became bolder.

"I heard that this year's new top three has come out?" A colleague raised the wine glass in his hand, drank it down, and yelled at the servants to get new wine.

"Yes, the [-] chief and deputy Zhongzheng officials have already left the palace. It seems that the palace examination has passed. It is estimated that the ranking will be announced later." Another colleague replied.

"It has been delayed for so many days, and it's time to announce it. You know, these students have studied hard for ten years, just for this moment. If it continues, the academy in Beijing will be in chaos."

"Master Li, you are not ignorant of the reason for the delay, so what's the point of complaining."

A colleague said this, his face darkened a bit, "Just passing this exam selection, I once again realized the difficulty of seeking an official career from scholars. Every year, hundreds of scholars from all over the country leave their hometowns to prepare for the exam. It is both ironic and ridiculous to go to Beijing and face many difficulties, just for the imperial examinations that are only held once a year, just to compete for one of the only five candidates who will be promoted."

After saying a word, everyone was silent.

In Xiangguo, there are three ways to become an official. One is the hereditary system of officials' children.Since the founding of the country and the establishment of the dynasty, Xiang Guozheng first-rank officials can enjoy the preferential treatment of hereditary officials, and their sons can inherit the position of the eldest son.The successor son must study and study with the prince. As long as he does not commit major mistakes, he can directly enter the officialdom after he becomes an adult without passing the imperial examination.

However, under the hereditary system, the official position must start from the lower fifth-rank official position, and cannot leapfrog the rank, nor can it be transferred from the original official position at will.

The second is the recommendation system.In order not to lose the talents of the people, Emperor Xiangguo once made a special rule that two or more first-rank officials and five or more second-rank officials can recommend talents to the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Officials will investigate the person's character, intelligence, Knowledge, etc., and finally the emperor decides whether to employ people.

At the beginning, Lei Tingjun was made a civilian general because of his recommendation, and later he was promoted step by step to be the chief general of an army, holding a lot of power.

The last is the imperial examination system.

This is almost the only way for students across the country to seek official positions.

It's just that Xiangguo's imperial examination reforms in all dynasties were extremely strict, and the current imperial examination system is even worse.And now that the emperor is old, he doesn't pay much attention to the imperial examination system. In the past two years, he has only retained five opportunities to become an official, and the majority of students are miserable.

But the more important reason for the sluggishness of the imperial examination system is that the review of the recommendation system has become more and more lax.The prince or very few officials privately placed people in various ministries, resulting in a significant reduction in official positions for private students. It was even rumored that some officials went to admonish Shangshu and demanded the abolition of the recommendation system, but the post of admonition did not fall into the hands of the emperor. That's all.

The topic extends to this point, and it involves the internal affairs of the Ministry of Officials to some extent, and this is the Su Mansion, and the owner Su Hengjian is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Everyone changed the subject while laughing, but Nan Fengjing heard it in their ears and remembered it in their hearts.

He has always known that the princes will place their own people in various departments, not only the sixth prince Zhao Wang will do this, even Ying Qihong will more or less transfer or promote the current officials to relevant official positions in order to cultivate his own manpower. However, these are all transfers of serving officials among various ministries. It is almost never tried to promote civilians directly to official positions without reason.

Nan Fengjing suddenly realized that the number of candidates in the imperial examinations has been decreasing year by year, and in the past two or three years, there were only five candidates for the imperial examinations. Internally, there are also people who take advantage of the workplace to install people.

But the more he thought about it, the more dizzy he became, and he felt dizzy just by moving his head. Nan Fengjing really couldn't bear the more intense discomfort, so he stood up slowly, wanting to walk around and let the smell of alcohol out by the way.

The location of the banquet happened to be next to a fish pond. He walked to the edge of the pond. The water was clear and cool, and the lanterns placed along the edge of the fish pond swayed gently in the breeze.

Nan Fengjing stood for a while, although he felt refreshed, but staring at those lanterns flickering by candlelight, he felt more and more uncomfortable, his head was dizzy, and he didn't know what kind of wine was used to entertain the guests in the Su Mansion, with such stamina big.

Nan Fengjing couldn't take it anymore, turned around and went back to Xi to find his father.Just after walking a few steps, he accidentally bumped into a servant of the Su family who was passing by with tea, and almost fell to the ground.

The servant was also almost knocked down. After holding the saucer in his hand, he found that the person who collided with him was Nan Fengjing. He was so shocked that he hurriedly bent over to plead guilty, "His Royal Highness, please forgive me. The little one has no eyes and no eyes. It was not intentional. Wang Shizi No wonder!"

Nan Fengjing waved his hand, indicating that it's okay, and continued to walk forward despite the dizziness.

The servant glanced at Nan Fengjing's shaky figure, and quickly left.

Nan Fengjing didn't care about this little episode, and when he went back to look for his father, he found that his mother had also come.

For some reason, I was even more dizzy.

Before the person returned to the table, he could already hear his mother chattering to his father, all kinds of dissatisfaction, and even pulled his father's ear and pinched his father's face.The colleagues on the side all dared not speak out. It is a well-known fact that the Prime Minister is afraid of internal affairs, and what he is afraid of is the current eldest princess, the emperor's sister. Who dares to say anything, they all salute and say goodbye.

Dare to love his mother to come here to drive away guests from the Su residence.

"mother......"

Nan Feng Jing came to his mother with heavy feet and light feet. He was also drunk, and he was scolded anyway, so he might as well act coquettishly, admit his mistake, and be a good man again when he sobered up.

Maybe his mother's heart hurts, and it's a turn of events.

"Oh." Ying Shuosuo raised his head and saw Nan Fengjing who was blushing and unable to speak clearly after drinking. He didn't know whether he was angry or anxious, so he hurriedly pulled Nan Fengjing to sit down and ordered his servants to boil another bowl of sober up Tang, "Jing'er, why don't you know how to control yourself and get so drunk?"

Before Nan Fengjing could speak, Ying Shuosuo suddenly slapped the Prime Minister on the shoulder, "Whether your father asked you to drink it, I know, this person just accepts it if he doesn't know how to get it. Knowing that drinking is harmful to your health, He also made his son drunk like this, he really deserves to be beaten, he is still a prime minister, if he speaks out, he will laugh at other people's teeth."

blah blah blah blah blah...

Ying Shuosuo was full of witty remarks, so quick to talk to the profiteers who were bargaining all over the sky, and scolded the Prime Minister without repeating a word, Nan Fengjing was dizzy from hearing it, and fell asleep before the servants brought the hangover soup.
