Master of Karma in the Red Chamber

Every official's examination has to go through four levels of debriefing, inspection, reconsideration and assessment.This assessment is to conduct reconsideration on the debriefing of each official. First, the authenticity of the content of the debriefing is checked, and then the final assessment is carried out.

The military officer's reconsideration assessment is different from that of civil servants. You can choose to answer the written test or oral.The latter will be documented and recorded in the book, and then signed by the person himself.

Because most military officers don't like to use pens, most people will choose to dictate, which is easier and faster to answer.Zhang Dianshi, Yuan Hanzai and the officials of Machang also chose to dictate.

When the gong sounds, all dictation officials must keep quiet and wait for the examiner to appear.

After a while, footsteps came. Although Zhang Dianshi lowered his head, from the corner of his eye, he could see that the person who entered the door in the first line was wearing a scarlet official robe, and it was known that he was above the fifth rank and below the third rank.If you are in the official department, you must be a doctor.

Zhang Dianshi suddenly thought of Yan Liang, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. Although he felt that it could never be him, he couldn't help but raise his eyes to confirm.It happened that this person walked past him, only his back could be seen.

Seeing that he was tall and tall, and his figure was somewhat similar to Jia Yanliang, Zhang Dian felt even worse.No, definitely not him!Seeing that the man was about to turn around, Zhang Dianshi stared, and his heart rose to his throat.

What a familiar face!

Zhang Dianshi rolled his eyes and almost passed out.Other officials of the horse factory were as surprised as he was, and Yuan Hanzai was the most excited. If the occasion was not solemn, he would probably rush to hug Yan Liang.Seeing Yuan Hanzai's behavior, Zhang Dian became even more depressed.

Yan Liang glanced at the crowd, his gaze passing over everyone calmly, his brows and eyes were indifferent and emotionless, as if he was seeing everyone present for the first time.

The tester and Yan Liang said respectfully: "My lord, who should we start with first?"

"It will be based on the grade, and the horse farm of the Stable and Animal Husbandry Department will be the last."

After Yan Liang finished speaking, he turned and entered the examination room.

Then the officials were called away one after another to answer the questions.Near noon, finally only Zhang Dianshi and others were left in the room. Because they had to keep quiet for the exam, they could not talk to each other. Zhang Dianshi and others could only communicate with each other through eye contact.It's winter, it's cold outside, but several people inside the house are sweating frequently, and their underwear is soaked.

"Yuan Hanzai." After the examiner called, Yuan Hanzai walked away with a smile.

They didn't follow the ranks anymore, Zhang Dianshi had the highest rank among the remaining people, but he called Yuan Hanzai away first.Everyone understood that Jia Yanliang was planning to avenge his personal revenge publicly. The anxiety brought about by the long wait had already been unbearable, but now they were even more frightened, and each of them trembled.

Zhang Dianshi hurriedly winked at them.

Everyone deliberately turned their heads away, not looking at him, as if glancing at him would cause bad luck.

Then the others were called away one after another, and only Zhang Dianshi stayed behind.

Zhang Dianshi felt more nervous than ever, and even more angry.He didn't believe it anymore, he was a majestic court official, Jia Yanliang would eat him!Zhang Dianshi had had enough of the anxiety brought about by this kind of fearful waiting, and he fought hard. If Jia Yanliang really dared to treat him unfairly, he would risk his life to sue him, and at worst, he would die.

"Please." The examiner came to call him.

Zhang Dianshi was startled by the sudden voice, straightened his clothes immediately, and stepped into the examination room with a straight face.

The room was not big, square and square, and there was a dark table opposite the door, and Yan Liang was naturally seated on top of the main seat.He started on the left and right sides, and there were two officials dressed in green official mansion, who were the two Yuanwailang of the Kaogong Division.Further down on the left hand side, there is also a small table, which is where the documents are recorded.

Yan Liang was flipping through the booklet in his hand with lowered eyes, without raising his eyes.

After Zhang Dianshi glanced at Yan Liang, he didn't expect the expected evil eyes, but felt a little uncomfortable. He sat down after greeting the three adults.

"It's the last one. Just ask a simple question. After answering, everyone can go to eat." Yuanwailang, who was sitting on the left, looked down at the paper in his hand after speaking. He said, "May I ask how many white horses, black horses, and jujube horses are there in the top three stables in the horse farm of the Stable and Animal Husbandry Department?"

Zhang Dianshi was still complaining in his heart, and glanced at Yan Liang from time to time, suddenly he was stunned by this question, and smiled embarrassedly, asking Mr. Yuanwailang to ask again.

"May I ask how many white horses, black horses, and jujube horses are there in the top three stables in the horse farm of the Stable and Animal Husbandry Department?"

How could you ask such a question!Zhang Dian's mind was completely blank, he had never cared about the color of the horses in the top three stables.He had memorized the total number of horses in the entire horse farm, but as for the others... shouldn't he be asked about the domestication and selection of horses, the regulations for the prince's carriage, and so on.

"There should be a total of 33 horses in the third-class stables, including six white horses, black horses and red dates...just..." Zhang Dianshi's sweat was as big as soybeans, dripping down.He faltered and hawed for a long time, and changed the number when he said it.

Yuanwai Lang Muqi knew that this person was the former doctor's superior, even though he took a peek at Yan Liang, he didn't know whether he should let him go and ask him, or judge objectively.

"Your Excellency, do you see?" Mu Qi waited for a while, and couldn't help asking Yan Liang.

Yan Liang flipped through the next page, keeping his eyes on the book, and said indifferently: "Ask one more question."

"Okay," Mu Qi thought that Zhang Dian might have a good relationship with the doctor. Since he couldn't get this amount of things, he asked another question, "If King Sui goes out of the palace, how should he use horses?" Use a car?"

Zhang Dianshi was overjoyed when he heard this question. This is a simple question, so he simply said: "Naturally choose a young and strong top three horse to drive."

Mu Qi glanced at Yan Liang secretly, and found that he had put down the booklet in his hand.

"Just record it truthfully." Yan Liang said lightly to Mu Qi.

Mu Qi respectfully took the Taipu Temple officials' performance appraisal book from Yan Liang's hand, marked Zhang Dianshi as inferior behind Zhang Dianshi's name, and told Zhang Dianshi that he could leave.

Zhang Dianshi gave Yan Liang an uneasy look at the end, and resigned apprehensively.

In the afternoon, the dispatch institute announced the results of the assessment in public. Naturally, some people were happy and some were worried, but most people still expected their results.A total of eight people, including Zhang Dianshi, were all classified as inferior, and the final result of demotion or demotion would have to wait for notification.

Except for Zhang Dianshi and other three people from the Stable Animal Husbandry Department, all the rest were rated as medium, even Yuan Hanzai was no exception.Everyone's expression was pale, and they complained constantly, thinking that such a result was caused by Mr. Yan Liang's personal revenge.

"What question did you ask? It's too biased."

"Originally, I could answer that question, but when I saw that the chief examiner was him, I couldn't remember anything."

"Oh, isn't it, this year is really unlucky."

……

A few people muttered in private for a while, then secretly glanced at the pale Zhang Dianshi over there, winked at each other, and saw that there was someone more unlucky than them, and now they didn't feel so uncomfortable.

The other two in the horse factory were judged as inferior. They felt ashamed and went away in silence.

Zhang Dian couldn't keep up with the matter, so he refused to accept it. After holding back for a while, he grabbed an examiner and asked him to take him to the Minister of Rites.

"Who are you? Why does the servant want to see you?" The tester threw away Zhang Dianshi, his voice was a bit loud, just enough to attract the attention of the people around him.

Zhang Dianshi gritted his teeth and said, "I am not satisfied with the test results. The chief examiner has a personal grievance with me and deliberately retaliated against me. I want to ask the servant to uphold justice!"

"What's the matter?" Mu Qi went out and saw everyone gathered together.

The examiner hurriedly told Mu Qi what had happened, and Mu Qi looked at Zhang Dian's affairs and told him to go back.Zhang Dian refused to accept it, and it would not be good to go back anyway, so it would be better to make the matter worse.He simply knelt down and said that he must see Mr. Shi Lang.

More and more people gathered around to watch the excitement.

Mu Qi sighed and had no choice but to agree, telling him to wait here for now.

Now that the matter has become a big deal, everyone present knows that if it cannot be dealt with in public, it may tarnish the reputation of the Ministry of Officials.The servant Yang Feikuan showed up immediately, telling Zhang Dianshi to confess his grievances at ease.

"When Jia Langzhong was the leader of the Nine-Rank Association in the horse farm of the Stable and Animal Husbandry Department, he had a disagreement with me, but it was just a difference in personality, which had nothing to do with official duties. This time, I only asked two questions in the assessment, and then I got along with him. Judging me to be inferior is clearly an act of public revenge. As we all know, I was top in the quiz in the past two years, and I was even praised by Ling Cheng, so why did I suddenly become inferior."

When Zhang Dian complained, Yan Liang had already been invited over.

Yang Feigui reversed Yan Liang's evidence.

Yan Liang asked Mu Qi to present the report card to Yang Feikuan, "There are three reasons for judging him as a subordinate: first, he does not work hard at his duties, eats laziness and sneaks through the day, takes the lead and indulges his subordinates in drinking and sexing during duty hours; , Gambling. The second number is wrong, the sudden death of [-] horses in the horse factory last year, the level is negligent on the use of horses by Prince Sui's house. The third is the conclusion drawn by today's school examination, there are many omissions in other things.

First of all, I have to make it clear that Gao Qi randomly chose the questions for today's assessment, and it has nothing to do with me, so there is no situation where I deliberately made things difficult for him.The first question only tested the condition of the horses in the top three stables in his high school, but he didn't know anything about it; the second question asked him how to arrange the carriage for Prince Sui's trip, but he replied that he used the top three horses.The top three horses are indeed high-quality horses, fat and strong, and can travel thousands of miles a day, but they don't know that because they run too fast, the carriage will be too bumpy, which will add more discomfort to Prince Sui's body.As the horse farm of the Stable and Animal Husbandry Department, it is in charge of the use of horses by the princes, but they have not even considered Prince Sui's physical problems, how can they deserve this salary? "

Yang Fei stroked his beard and nodded, first gave Yan Liang a look of approval, then glanced at the guy in front of him who had objections to their official affairs, "Are you satisfied with this answer?"
