[Red Mansion] The occupation of Huangsang!

Chapter 43 Being a king and an official, benefiting the country and the people

The imperial examination of the Yong Dynasty was held every three years, and it was divided into three levels: the provincial examination, the general examination, and the palace examination.

This first-level rural examination is held in the provincial capitals of each province (including the capital), and all the students and supervisors, yin students, official students, and tribute students of the province who pass the scientific examination, age division, and recorded legacy can take the examination.Every year of Zi, Wu, Mao, and You is the Zhengke, and when the celebration is added, it is the Enke, and the examination period is also in August.The examiners in each province are appointed by the emperor.The Chinese style is called "juren", No.1 is called "Jieyuan", No.2 is called Yayuan, the third, fourth and fifth are called Jingkui, and No.6 is called Yakui.In principle, the applicants in the pilot test have obtained the qualifications for selecting officials.Anyone who has a Chinese style can participate in the general examination held in the capital next year.Because this township examination is held in autumn, it is also called Qiuwei.

The general examination is held in the Ministry of Rites in the spring of the second year after the rural examination, so the general examination is also called Li Wei, also known as Chun Wei.Those who take part in the examination are Juren, who are called Gongshi after being selected, and the No.1 is called Huiyuan.As for the palace examination, it is an examination administered by the emperor.

Passing the imperial examinations and becoming a Juren or a Jinshi can not only be exempted from taxes, but also can ascend to the sky in one step, increase officials and enter the ranks, and shine on the lintel.In ancient times, taking the imperial examination was almost a matter of changing the whole person and the whole family, so it is inevitable that some villains in the world want to take shortcuts to get something for nothing.

In April of the second year of Baotai, shortly after the examination began, Shui Lan, who had been sending Jinyi secret guards to investigate Ma Yao's drug poisoning, suddenly received a blood-stained secret report from Li Wei from Jiangnan.

According to the secret report, the Xinmaoke Jiangnan Rural Examination will be released in September. Except for 13 people from Suzhou, the rest are mostly children of salt merchants in Yangzhou.Among them, Wu Mi, who was recommended by Wang Yu, the county magistrate of Jurong County, and Cheng Guang, who was recommended by the county magistrate of Shanyang County, were all people with no understanding of literature and science, and the public opinion was very uproarious.

At the end of September, more than a thousand students from Suzhou gathered at Xuanmiao Temple, headed by Tuilin student Lin Ruhai, carried the statue of the God of Wealth into the school, locked it in Minglun Hall, and competed to write poems and couplets to post everywhere.Wu Pin, the governor of Liangjiang, detained Lin Ruhai and others, and planned to charge them with false accusations.

Holding tightly the blood-stained silk cloth with petty seal characters in his hand, he didn't say a word for a long time, and the guard who was still desperately delivering the secret report, who was standing in the palace suddenly opened his mouth, and suddenly woke up Shui Lan.

"Li Qing is okay now."

"When I rushed to the capital, the county magistrate of Shanyang County had already sent people to surround the restaurant where Mr. Li lived. I guess Mr. Li is in danger." The guard gritted his teeth and said with hatred. "Your Majesty, you want to avenge the chief examiner Zhang Wenqing, Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang wrote a secret report overnight. He planned to report it to His Majesty through Mr. Li's hand. Unexpectedly, the news leaked out. Mr. Zhang Wenqing, the main examiner, has 38 members of his family. survived."

"Whether these bastards still see the Son of Heaven in their eyes, they really deserve to die."

After Shui Li asked the injured guard to go down to rest, she immediately asked Wu Dequan to take people to personally invite Jia Jing, Wang Ziteng, General Mingwei Wu Ge and Guangwei General Wu Lin, who were in charge of the five cities' soldiers and horses, to come. discussion.

Wu Dequan was fully aware of the urgency of the situation, and soon invited Jia Jing and Wang Ziteng who were staying in the command department, and Wu Ge who was staying in the barracks into the palace.As soon as the four of them stepped into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, they keenly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so they put out their insecurities in the dark and greeted each other respectfully before asking. "I don't know what His Majesty summoned us for?"

Shui Lan handed over the secret report that she had been holding in her hand to Jia Jing.Jia Jing took a look at it, and immediately changed his face and circulated the secret report to the other three.After the four of them had finished watching, they looked at each other, then fell to the ground together and said in unison.

"Kow to ask the Holy Spirit to give you a decree to escort this bastard who has caused disasters to the country and the people back to Beijing for interrogation."

Shui Lan frowned and pondered for a while, then looked at Wu Ge and Wu Lin and said. "Mingwei General Wuge and Guangwei General Wulin obey orders..."

The two brothers Wuge and Wulin looked at each other, and after covering up the joy in their eyes, they said respectfully. "The next officer listens to the order."

"Both of you lead a team to go directly to Jurong and Shanyang. Remember that if the crimes committed by the officials of these two places are true, I will allow Er and others to kill them on the spot."

"Follow the decree."

The two brothers Wuge and Wulin ran back to the barracks excitedly, and led all their troops to the south of the Yangtze River overnight to make contributions.At this time, in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, after taking the two brothers Wu Ge and Wu Lin to leave, Shui Lan ordered again.

"The two of you led a team to surround the examination room for me, and brought the examiner and all the examination papers together."

Prince Teng respectfully accepted the order, but Jia Jing said hesitantly. "Your Majesty, isn't this a little alarming..."

"What kind of grass will scare what kind of snake," Shui Lan snorted again and again. "These things can be admitted even by those who don't understand literature and science. Heh, that's bold enough. If I take care of everything, maybe they will dare to write essays for candidates."

Jia Jing was silent, and was about to retreat with Wang Ziteng to order the soldiers and horses, Shui Lan said again. "Forget it, it's better for me to do this kind of thing in person. The two of you will surround the examination room first. Without my permission, you can't even let a fly go."

Jia Jing and Wang Ziteng really retreated now, Shui Lan changed into casual clothes, and was preparing to leave the palace with a few bright guards in brocade clothes. When she was about to leave the palace gate, she met Shui Zhai, who had recently responded to her smile. .

"Yo, where is the second brother going!"

Shui Zhai still put his arms on Shui Lan's shoulders casually, and asked with a smile. "Can you take your elder brother with me!"

Shui Lan took a sideways glance at the very comfortable Shuizhai where she lived in Yuqing Palace recently, thought about his character like a shit stick, and thought that bringing him might have something special to do, Shui Lan nodded and said.

"Okay, but you're not in the palace with the queen mother?"

"When I accompany her, I will be read once. My ears are callused."

Shui Zhai, who was walking and talking with Shui Lan, sighed and continued. "To be honest, I don't know how to adjust the relationship between the queen mother and Ma Yao."

Shui Lan was silent, and finally couldn't help asking. "If the relationship between the two really comes to an irreconcilable day, brother, what will you choose?"

"How to choose what."

Shui Zhai still smiled honestly, but what he said made any woman feel cruel after hearing it.Shui Zhai answered Shui Lan with a smile.

"It's just a woman. Since she doesn't believe that Master really loves her, then what is there to miss?" Shui Zhai said resolutely on the surface, but only he himself knew the bitterness in his heart.

When love and family affection become irreconcilable, it is understandable for Shuizhai to choose to give up on love and Ma Yao. After all, Shuizhai is not the kind of mother who can abandon her child and raise her for the sake of love, shouting that true love is innocent, you accept it She and I are your son's people.And to be honest, Shui Zhai didn't understand what Ma Yao was thinking at all, and yelled that he didn't understand her, but why did Ma Yao take the initiative to integrate into the royal life for Shui Zhai.

Ma Yao has always accepted everything around her passively, she has a flamboyant personality but also has a low self-esteem.Ma Yao was brought up by her aunt according to the sisters of the scholarly family, but according to the rules of the scholarly family, Ma Yao acts like a sister raised by a military family.In the eyes of those so-called big families, a housewife can adopt a concubine or adopt a step-heir if she has no children. Now that she knows that she is barren, she can be more generous and say that she will take more wives and concubines for her husband-in-law. Stable and earn a good name.After all, let's talk about the good things first. As for whether Shuizhai will do this, that is Shuizhai's business.Shui Lan imagined that if Ma Yao could think of this, even if Shui Zhai didn't take concubines, Queen Chunhui wouldn't be able to say anything about this matter to the ears of Queen Chunhui.

Look, a good hand was played by this woman Ma Yao into a bad hand, and now even Shui Zhai has given up the shallow love between them.Thinking of Ma Yao who is gradually regaining her sanity and health under the treatment of the imperial physician in the imperial hospital, Shui Lan shook her head again.Fortunately, when he first learned of his identity as the prince, he made up his mind not to touch love easily, otherwise the relationship between him and Wu Tingfang would not be like relatives. Shui Li probably wanted to love and kill each other because of each other the ending of...

Tsk, it seems that I have become a little sentimental recently, and it's all caused by this kid Shui Zhai.

Shui Lan pursed her lips, glanced at Shui Zhai, who seemed to be calm, and led him to the examination room.Jia Jing and Wang Ziteng's ability to handle affairs is still very reliable. At least when Shui Lan and Shui Zhai arrived, the entire examination room was surrounded by the three floors outside Mali and three floors outside of the command department of the five cities.Feeling that the two of them managed to do it without releasing a single fly, Shui Lan nodded in satisfaction, and just as she was about to walk in, the sound of 'Amitabha Buddha' came from Nima, which pierced into Shui Lan's ears.

Shui Lan was startled, and suddenly found that the people around her, including the elder brother who was fooling around and not doing anything right, were all still, only him and a monk walking towards her from a distance.

As described in the original book of the Red Chamber, this monk was ugly, wearing tattered tattered Taoist uniforms and clothes, and walked slowly towards Shui Lan.Shui Lan remained calm, and when the two came to the side and bowed their heads, she pursed her lips and said coolly.

"Ah, are you the drafts that the female snails made when they made humans?" They look really scribbled.

The female snail empress... made a draft... when making a human...

No matter how many times this Crow Emperor has been reincarnated, he is still so vicious!

All the monks exhaled in unison, and after a while, they regained their composure and greeted Shui Lan with smiles. "I haven't seen the Emperor Crow for a few lifetimes, but he still speaks so funny."

"Wait a minute, what's your name?" Shui Lan, who suspected that she had heard wrong, picked out her ears. He only heard that the person who became the emperor was the reincarnation of Ziwei Xingjun, what the hell is the Raven Emperor.Is it just a descendant of the legendary Golden Crow?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was very tall, and Shui Lan stared at the monk and the other with a smile, and didn't dislike them for being ugly, so she patted their shoulders and asked with a smile.

"Can the two priests explain what this Crow Emperor is, and why you call me that?"

A monk who claimed to be a slip of the tongue sighed again, and said in a particularly erratic voice. "Through Dijun's ability to say who is unlucky, Dijun still can't guess what Dijun's true deity is."

The author has something to say: ps: The stupid author is a woman, as for Shui Lan, don't look at him from a woman's perspective...

First of all, Shui Lan was a playboy in her previous life, and her attitude towards women was very casual, but in this life she is a ninety-five-year-old.To be honest, Ma Yao is just a familiar stranger to Shui Lan. After all, it is best for sister-in-law and brother-in-law to be a little far away.

It's a matter of Shui Zhai's stupid cuteness being injured because of Ma Yao's incident. People have different relationships. There is no right or wrong in this matter. Of course Shui Lan is on Shui Zhai's side. Don't say it's unfair to Ma Yao. In this way, if one of them makes a sacrifice, Shui Lan will definitely choose to sacrifice Ma Yao without hesitation, just like Shui Juan and Jia She, if Shui Juan does something like Ma Yao, Shui Lan will definitely stand by Shui Juan without hesitation. Here, sacrifice Jia She

Shui Zhai and Shui Juan are relatives recognized by Shui Lan, Jia She is considered a friend, and Ma Yao, in Shui Lan's eyes, is just a woman married to his elder brother...

It doesn't matter if the stupid author is cold-blooded, Ma Yao's fault is not entirely his fault, Shui Zhai's character also has a lot of responsibility...

But folks, the pig feet in this article are men, not women.

That's the nature of men...

Don't expect him to blame his elder brother for a woman he doesn't know very well...
