The situation seemed to have changed in the blink of an eye, and I thought that Qingliu would return to power, but no one expected that what was coming was a cold winter. Instead of returning to the center of power, Nanjing's Qingliu welcomed more Qingliu officials, including his current boss, Shangshu Wang Yongbin of the Ministry of Rites.

One by one, honest officials were labeled as Li Mo's comrades, and they were assigned to Nanjing, and some were even directly dismissed.

It was also from that day that Yin Tai clearly realized that the emperor's reuse of Li Mo was just a balancing act, and he never thought of letting Qingliu dominate the government, and favored obedient officials like Yan Song who were flattering.

Yan Song is undoubtedly the first assistant who is in line with the emperor's wishes, he can transfer all the money and silver from the large warehouse to the emperor's pocket, and the money and silver transferred from the large warehouse to the inner treasury every year will reach more than one million taels.

If these Qingliu officials were in power, like Li Mo, who had the world in mind, as the first assistant, I am afraid that they would not agree to the emperor's reckless behavior. Especially now that there are invaders in the north and the trouble of the Japanese in the south, and there are displaced people everywhere, how can the country's finances be squandered by the emperor alone?

As soon as he thought of this, Yin Tai knew that if he held on to the big tree of Qingliu, then he would only end up in the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, at least in Jiajing, he would not have a chance to turn over.

Zhang Xuan and Yan Hao were able to jump out of the mud of Nanjing, I am afraid that they have seen through the mystery.

Just when he was thinking about where to go, the calm lake of Nanjing was turbulent again, and a holy decree came from the north, allowing the Nanjing Ministry of Rites to preside over the township tests in several southern provinces.

Among the authority of the imperial government, in addition to personnel and financial rights, there is also the right to take the main examination of the imperial examination. This is the only way to become an official in the Ming Dynasty, and the person who guards this road benefits a lot, because these new imperial examination people or jinshi will become his protégés.

After Yin Tai was awarded the chief examiner of the Guangdong Township Examination, he, who had always been ignored by the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, was unexpectedly broken through the threshold for a while. In addition to some who want to say something for their children, some feel that he has the possibility of reactivation, so they also come to stammer.

But among so many people, it was a person who surprised him deeply, a letter to be precise.

"Old Mountain, don't lose the emperor's grace, come to the capital for a small gathering!"

This is his fellow villager Yan Ge Lao's handwritten letter, and the person who delivered the letter made him feel meaningful, it was the Ministry of Industry Shangshu who was waiting for Lang Dai Yi, and Dai Yi really had a trust.

Speaking of which, Yan Song also appreciated him a lot, and when he just got the Jinshi, he threw an olive branch and wanted to marry him.

It's just that at that time, although Yan Hao was a secretary of the ministry, the place where he was an official was in Nanjing, and he was already fifty-five years old, and his official reputation was not good. On the other hand, he Yin Chongji, who was born in the first class of Xinke, and entered the official place in Beijing Hanlin Academy, and his future is bright.

It was precisely because of this that he rejected the solicitation of the Nanjing official at that time, and threw himself into Qingliu's arms without hesitation.

It's just that who would have thought that just a year later, Yan Song would come to the capital to celebrate the birthday festival. Due to the court's proposal to reconstruct the history of the Song Dynasty, he presided over it with the title of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and it was out of control from then on.

However, Yan Song has always appreciated him and has always had the intention of recruiting him. It's just that he pretends to be high-minded, and he is unwilling to follow this kind of traitorous minister, hoping that the court can set things right.

Even if he was transferred to Nanjing Guozi to supervise the sacrificial wine, he still held on to this idea. But the reality was still cruel to him, and Li Mo, the secretary of the ministry he had high hopes for, fell, which made him wake up.

Yan Hao chose to find him at this time, the intention was undoubtedly obvious, and there was a sense of assessment. Obviously, he hopes that he will "do something" in this Guangdong township test, and if he does things well, then he will be transferred back to the capital.

After Li Mo died in prison and Wang Yongbin was demoted to Nanjing, Yan Hao promoted Wu Peng of the Yan Party in the Ministry of Officials, but the Ministry of Rites did not use their own people, but used Wu Shan, who was an upright official.

According to Yan Song's usual practice, he will inevitably arrange his own people on the Ministry of Etiquette, and he seems to be the person Yan Song wants.

"Etiquette waits!"

Yin Tai's eyes slowly opened, looking out of the gate, with a hint of yearning in his eyes. He only needs to dye himself black, and it will not be thunder that will greet him, but rain and dew.

The four same examiners don't know the complicated heart of the examiner, and they are reviewing the papers attentively at this time, and the bullshit exam papers will be ruthlessly knocked down, but the slightly smooth exam papers will be recommended.

The deputy examiner, Li Mu, was also very serious, and his examination standards were raised to another level. The mediocre test papers will be knocked down, and the slightly outstanding test papers will be written with the word "take", and then handed to Yin Tai.

The process of reviewing papers is proceeding in an orderly manner, and more and more examination papers are sent to Yin Tai's case.

Perhaps because of his thoughts, Yin Tai's speed is not very fast, and the sun is already setting in the blink of an eye.

"Brother Jiushan, this exam paper is quite literate, please take a closer look!" Li Mu handed over another exam paper and left him with a meaningful look.

Yin Tai immediately "popped", he knew that he should come or come. It's just that he suppressed the nervousness in his heart, took the test paper without a trace, unfolded the exam paper that had just been sent, and read it through from beginning to end.

The article is actually okay, between taking and not taking, but he found three strange places. In the first article, the imaginary word "Ruofu" is used, the second article uses the imaginary word "Yu Xiuzai", and the third article uses "do not hesitate".

Yin Tai is naturally not a stupid person, how can he not know that these are "clearance bytes". He only needs to turn a blind eye now, write a "medium" character on it, and a bright future will await him.

He picked up the pen, but his heart suddenly struggled, on the one hand, he had insisted on the faith he had held for twenty years, and on the other hand, he was a priest with real power.

It's just that he didn't know that when he was struggling with the pen, Li Mu was secretly watching him, in addition, there was also the director of the inner curtain of this township test, Jinyi Wei Qianhu Zhu Jiu.

Zhu Jiu is a thousand households in Guangzhou, and he will serve as the supervisor in this township test. Like these examiners, he will also live here for a while, and he will not leave until the end of the examination.

He had a coffin face, but his eagle eyes were quite sharp, and after noticing Li Mu's strange appearance, his eyes fell on the examiner Yin Tai.

Call!

Yin Tai seemed to have made a decision, and the handwriting in his hand slowly fell towards the test paper, while the corners of Li Mu's mouth on the side were slightly upturned, but Zhu Jiu had a calm face, and his eyes became gloomy.
