Dress as a villain

A letter from Beiyu came very quickly, and Yelu Lili agreed to marry, and chose an auspicious day to get married in June.

The two parties signed a marriage certificate.

Xie Lanzhi personally stamped the seal, and Si Qitong also stamped it.

Another marriage certificate was quickly delivered to Princess Yongning.

In the Jinluan Palace, the two announced their marriage with the Northern Territory, causing an uproar in the court.All the ministers unanimously supported the marriage between the two countries.

An official transferred from the Nine Jin Dynasty, Li entered the Ministry of Punishment as a servant. He handed over the results of the Nine Jin Dynasty's multiple inspections to Si Qitong, including the imperial examination.

The Xie family had heard about the imperial examination, and some people in the family advocated that the imperial examination be transferred to Tianjing, but Si Qitong did not let go, and the Xie family let it go.

Some people are still thinking about the imperial examination and want to get the first place.

Li Ling and Li Jin's father and son strongly recommended: "Marshal, Your Highness Fengning, the imperial examination is very popular with scholars, and the ministers think it can be promoted to Tianjing."

The Xie family was all pleasantly surprised when they heard the words, and Xie Changwang stood up and said, "Marshal Li and the others are absolutely right. The imperial examination is of great benefit to the selection of literati in Tianjing. Why not let the Xie family assist in the implementation of the imperial examination."

Si Qitong didn't show any attitude.

Xie Lanzhi shook his head: "The imperial examinations have already achieved a small success in the Ninth Jin Dynasty, and it would be too time-consuming to move to Tianjing and re-locate. Scholars of the Xie family who participated in the imperial examinations all went to the border towns to follow the customs of the countryside."

The implication is don't let people tailor everything for Xie, Xie has no ability to support the imperial examination.

Xie Changwang retreated in embarrassment.

All the ministers in the capital recommend the examination, and have begun to propose the establishment of a palace examination.

With Si Qitong behind him, the implementation of the imperial examination was smooth, and it was officially seen that the selection of suitable talents began.

The Imperial Examination launched by Tianjing Hengkong has been known to many scholars. It is only because the Imperial Examination has been circulated in the circle of scholars half a year ago, and it is sought after by scholars. Enter the court as an official.

This year, Si Qitong even released one hundred vacancies, and a total of three thousand people participated in the Tianjing imperial examination.There is also a separate door for candidates to be recommended. The reserve is a semi-official, and there is food every month.

It is not easy for people who officially enter the government. If they fail to meet the standards within three years, they will be transferred from the original place and replaced by a reserve. Although they will not be resigned, they will basically be promoted.

If you can't be promoted, you can't be eliminated after five years. Here, the disadvantage of one official occupying one official position for 20 years and one party being lazy is completely eradicated.

Officials who have served for a short period of time can be re-elected if they have qualified administrative ability.During the re-election period, he has excellent performance and can be directly promoted.

Si Qitong's use of practical work not only improves the quality of officials, but also eliminates redundant staff to a certain extent.In the past, the reserve officials of the Jin Dynasty were all gentry disciples, and most of them were entrenched in small places.Like moths, they formed a nest and hollowed out the old dynasty.

Nowadays, the appointment of officials in small places is more strict. In the past, they would rather spend money than go, but now even spending money is useless, and there are even a lot of people crowded to become officials.Because there is no shortage of talents.

Nowadays, talents are no more noble than before and do not eat fireworks in the world. In troubled times, only rice and meat can make people work hard.

For the hard-won opportunities, everyone will fight with all their might.What's more, the official doors at the bottom are open to the common people.The children of the common people squeezed in one by one, and also won ten official positions.

It is no longer like the past where there were no poor families in the upper class and no noble families in the lower class, and the estrangement was polarized.

The government and the people have never had a direct connection like now, and the officials are not as domineering as they used to be, and the officials protect each other, because they can be replaced at any time and no one is short of you.

No matter how big the backer is, the backer will not offend his backer because of you, so people who want to take advantage of the opportunity to run rampant in the countryside also start to weigh the price.

Si Qitong began to preside over the first imperial examination.

For three days and three nights in a row, 3000 people selected 50 people. The elimination rate was higher than expected, and the vacant official positions were still vacant and not filled.

In the middle of the night, Xie Lanzhi leaned on her chin and waited for Si Qitong to return to the nest.

Si Qitong worked hard on the book case, somewhat ignoring the person on the bed.

Xie Lanzhi finally realized what it was like to be alone in an empty bed. It turned out to be so... lonely and cold in her arms.

When I saw Tachyon.

She had to remind her: "Go to sleep, don't worry."

"This is the first batch to officially enter the exam. I have to rush out tonight." Si Qitong is just like the teachers who are rushing for the college entrance examination. next to her.

"Which papers I read give you a headache?"

Si Qitong gave her an examination paper, which contained classics, theory, and poems, and the difficulty was not small.

She also said: "The difficulty of elimination is still not enough."

Xie Lanzhi's eyes widened: "This is already very difficult, will increasing the elimination rate be a waste of talent?"

"I need to raise the threshold of the imperial examination in order to improve the ability of today's officials." Si Qitong said: "Also, what do I feel is missing?"

Xie Lanzhi quickly pointed out: "It's too much liberal arts, and the proportion of science is small. Now it is clear that most of them are talents from the Ministry of Industry. Although there are many, most of them are not valued."

Si Qitong suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. I'll take another random test tomorrow, and if there are outstanding ones, I can take a special test."

Xie Lanzhi said: "You have invested a lot in the early stage of this development, and the short-term results are few, so you must have a pillar that can support the start of science."

"What is a pillar?"

She quickly told her about the importance and significance of science to the development of people's livelihood and economy.Dajin is also dominated by agriculture, so it will be implemented faster with agriculture as the basis.

After hearing this, Si Qitong fell into a dilemma.

"I don't have enough money."

Xie Lanzhi said: "I can give you an advance payment."

"No need." Si Qitong didn't want to use Xie's funds, she suddenly remembered her father's [-] million taels, but unfortunately, there was no trace of it.

Si Qitong finally put down her pen, pinched the center of her brows, and said, "It's time to go to bed."

Xie Lanzhi picked her up and put her on the bed, put her inside to lie down, then covered her with a quilt, and lay down on the side of the bed by herself, her left palm burst out and extinguished the candles in the hall.

Si Qitong got into her arms, she was exhausted.Almost fell asleep right away.His right hand touched the jade pendant on Xie Lanzhi's chest again, which was given to her by himself.

She cheered up a bit: "Lanzhi, the results of the imperial examination in Tianjing are better than I imagined. Compared with the Nine Jin Dynasty, its influence is more than ten times. It really is better in Tianjing."

"You don't want Mrs. Xie to push forward, I know it." Xie Lanzhi patted her on the back: "I will cooperate with you."

Si Qitong bulged his cheeks and blew on his cheeks: "Yes."

Xie Lanzhi couldn't help poking her cheek, knowing that when she wanted to act like a baby, she liked to blow bubbles like a frog.

The two embraced, warm and fragrant, and fell asleep directly.

At the same time, in the city of Tianjing, the students who were studying hard with the lights on, although their clothes were ragged, there were people in the school who boiled water and porridge, and they could barely survive the hardships of eating and sleeping in the open.

These schools were all contracted by the Xie family, and the Xie family also did a lot to support the imperial examination.Because of the imperial examination, the school is obliged to give up the position to these students who came from afar to get basic guarantees.

Of course, the students of the Xie family were also dissatisfied with the fact that the mistress restricted them to skip the exam directly, causing them to compete with a group of mud legs.But they are dissatisfied with the fart. As long as they say no at home, the elders will be slapped.

Mistress Xie seems to be very much supported by Xie's elders, as are the young people in Xiemei Township.As long as a small number of people have resentment in their hearts, they dare not make trouble.

And tomorrow is the release day.

This night, no matter their status or family status, they all had the same feeling.That is the fear of losing the election.

After Xie Lanzhi was sleeping soundly in Si Qitong, she quietly got up to help read the papers, and found that the papers had been graded early.Little Phoenix watched so late last night to check if there were any omissions.

She attaches great importance to the imperial examination this time, so everything must be done by herself.

Xie Lanzhi picked out a few of the above papers to read. They were excellent both in policy theory and poetry, but those were the only official positions, and Xiao Fenghuang had to be eliminated. It seems that she pays more attention to practicality now.

These poems are well written, no matter whether there are officials or not, they will be a celebrity. The influence of celebrities is great, but Xiaofeng wants to seek truth from facts.

In troubled times, of course, it is grain production, and the restoration of production is the first.The spirit of poetry is important, yearning for beauty, but as long as you have enough food and clothing, it is the first step to beauty.

Xie Lanzhi helped to add three questions to raise the threshold, giving priority to those with high overall quality.Those who are good at other partial subjects will be classified as special test students, and the treatment will not be bad.

After writing three questions, she went back to bed and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Xie Lanzhi skipped the morning.

Si Qitong has already gone to court.

The Golden Temple is now presided over by her alone.

She was not stage fright, and directly announced the three test questions that Xie Lanzhi had set. This is the palace test.

The [-] selected students will do the questions immediately after entering the hall, and it is limited to two hours.If you can't do it, you will give up automatically.

The clothes of the fifty students show their family background, poor and rich, but they are all dressed in long robes.

The examiner lights the incense.

The atmosphere at the scene was suddenly tense, and the students were assigned a stack of rice paper and began to write questions.

Unexpectedly, if the first question is not reasonable, many people think it is simply nonsense.

Because the first inscription reads: The king let the minister die, to die or not to die?How to deal with oneself in terms of etiquette and law?Special Note: Be careful with written answers, this has the highest elimination rate.

It means to tell the truth.

The second question: How many drops are there in the sea?How many zhang? [This is not a joke, exercise your thinking]

The third question: Zhang San broke into the house and was poisoned to death after drinking the tea from the host’s house. The next day, the host was arrested and wanted to beheaded. How can I overturn the unjust case and clear him?Please detail the details of the simulation case calculation.

Students: ......

Which bastard came up with this question?

The examiner couldn't help but glanced at it and thought about it, he shook his head immediately, it's over, these children who are dead on reading actually met the marshal to ask questions.

Marshal is notoriously unpredictable. The questions she asks are difficult and not easy, but if the answer is not close to her heart, even the best talents will be eliminated.

Li Ling and Zhao Gongming glanced at the test questions, but started to do it themselves.

Si Qitong gave the answer very clearly.

The students have never seen this kind of question, and they can answer it, but they don't know which answer is closer to His Highness?So many students began to frown.

When only one student finishes answering, hand in the paper, no matter whether it is close to the answer or not.

Since this student was the first one to finish writing, Si Qitong specially asked for his papers. Regarding the answer, the student answered the first question: The king let the minister die, and the minister can't do anything if he doesn't want to die.

The second question, a drop.One foot in front of my eyes.

The third one is very detailed. Zhang San is not guilty of stealing to death, but he was poisoned to death after drinking tea from the owner’s house, and then he made up for the house fight and killed Zhang San innocently. Either the owner knew there was a thief in order to simulate the murder. So poisoning oneself is another house fight, such as killing a wife and marrying into a family to seize family property.Or take the opportunity to blame his wife for stealing a man and try to poison him to death, but in the end he poisons his lover to death.

Si Qi Tong Xin said: Interesting.
