Li Ji was wearing a brand-new official robe and was beaming. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In the late spring weather, I was a little sweaty along the way, and the official robe on the outside was even more uncomfortable. Li Jing didn't feel it at all, walking on the road, looking at everyone around him so cute, he wanted to say hello.

The people of the capital have long been accustomed to this kind of scene, and every few years at this time, there are hundreds of people wandering around the city in new official robes, as if to let everyone see them wearing official robes.

Pedestrians on the road with good intentions and good deeds will salute: "Congratulations to Guanren High School!" ”

The new jinshi with a large hand will take out a few copper coins and give rewards with a smile, with a smile on his face like a flower.

Li Ji didn't have much money, and he rewarded others twice at the beginning, and it didn't take long for him to hold his money bag tightly. Breaking up with others from the state bridge, the idlers who followed the jinshi to ask for rewards followed others in a swarm.

Returning to Xu Ping's small courtyard in a daze, the little guy at the door had a sweet mouth and saluted: "Congratulations to Guanren High School!" The marquis had already returned, waiting for the officials in the living room. ”

Li Ji hurriedly took out more than a dozen copper coins and put them in the hands of the little guy: "Tongxi!" Rejoice! ”

The little guy went diligently, and after a while, he took out a firecracker, and said: "The county marquis ordered, put firecrackers to the officials to celebrate!" It's been a long time since our house has been so lively! ”

Li Ji thanked him and walked towards the living room.

At this time, the city has been in the city one after another firecrackers, most of them are the owners of the store, celebrating the new jinshi who live in the store. From the end of the year to April, it is the golden period of the hotel industry and rental industry in the capital, and there is such a time every few years, all of them come to the capital to hold up the price.

When I arrived in the living room, I saw Xu Ping sitting there, and Li Ji stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen Mr., the student did not pay what he wanted, and he won the twenty-eighth place in the first class." Students are ignorant, all rely on the cultivation of Mr., this grace will never be forgotten! ”

Xu Ping nodded with a smile, pointed to the guest seat and said, "It's all earned by your own hard work, and you deserve it." Sit down, I have something to say to you. ”

Li Ji sat down and said respectfully: "Listen to Mr.'s teachings!" ”

Xu Ping let the little maid serve tea, and said to Li Jing: "There is still a month before the official and Qionglin banquet, in this month, there are a lot of times for your new jinshi to celebrate the same year, and the expenses are also large, remember to bring more money with you." If you are a jinshi, you can't compare to before, don't be stingy with money, and let people gossip behind your back. Periodicals and "Records of the Same Year" and the like, all pay according to the ranking, and you are twenty-eight at the top, so be generous when settling accounts. ”

Li Jing complied.

Xu Ping said again: "Today's episode, is there anything interesting?" That champion Zhang Tangqing, how is he a person? ”

"Zhang Tangqing is the same age as me, but he has a good temperament, does things uprightly, and can gather people's hearts. Our current Jinshi all obeyed him, not only because he was the champion, but also because he was really groomed and behaved, and he was above everyone. ”

Xu Ping nodded in understanding.

For example, Wang Qinruo is called "gall phase", and Ding is called monkey-shaped, which does not affect their entry into the Shigaodi. But the champion is different, it really depends on the face. By this time, the requirements were already low, and Taizong wanted the top three to stand together and see it, and the one with the appearance and bearing that suited his heart was the champion. Zhang Tangqing is a beautiful posture in the words of this era, and when he goes to that station, it is none other than him when people look at the champion.

Li Jing said again: "However, when the Xiangguo Temple was gathered, a small incident occurred, which was related to the champion Zhang Tangqing. Hey, everyone says it's a bit unlucky, and I don't know who did it. ”

Daxiangguo Temple has a white wall specially erected, let visitors inscribe poems, which is not only an elegant matter, but also makes their own temple famous. Of course, the identity of the person who inscribed the poem is different, and the treatment is also different. The poems inscribed by high-ranking officials and university scholars will be deliberately protected, or famous poems and famous sentences, even anonymous names will be preserved, but things like "so-and-so came here to visit" and the like, they were brushed off within a few days. Every time the champion is assembled, the monks of Daxiangguo Temple will tidy up the white wall, leaving enough blank space for the new jinshi to inscribe poems and sentences.

Zhang Tangqing was the champion of high school and was the first inscription poem by everyone. He was in high spirits, and without thinking, he inscribed two sentences: "In one fell swoop, he made his debut on the Dragon and Tiger List, and he went to the Phoenix Pool in ten years." It means that if you win the champion today, you will be ranked as the ruler in ten years. Although this is a bit crazy, it is not excessive, his status as a champion is worthy of it, and everyone applauds.

After the inscription poem, everyone didn't care, until the etiquette was finished and there was a lot of noise, and no one found that Zhang Tangqing's two poems had been filled in below.

"In one fell swoop, he made his debut on the Dragon and Tiger list, and he went to the Phoenix Pool for ten years. Jun looks at Yao Ye and Liang Gu, and the court officials do not know."

Yao Ye is the first year of Zhenzong Dazhong Xiangfu, the official finally wrote Zuolang, Liang Gu is the son of Liang Hao, the champion of Yongxi period, and he is the champion of Dazhong Xiangfu in the second year. Both of them were in the middle champion and died of a violent illness not long after, and the official did not reach the court.

The two lines of the poem are quite vicious, and some of them are more convinced of what Wei Wei said, and they have doubts about Zhang Tangqing's future.

If it weren't for the fact that the first few Jinshi were in full view, some people would definitely suspect that they were jealous, but fortunately, they were all officiating at the ceremony, and there was no suspicion.

At that time, the personnel were chaotic, and everyone took care of Zhang Tangqing's emotions, so they passed with a smile. But at the end of the period, the new science and technology scholars discussed it in private, and they all felt that it was not a good sign for Zhang Tangqing.

Xu Ping listened to it and said to Li Jing: "These unfounded statements can only confuse people's hearts, the two of us just talk about it in private, don't talk about it with others when you go out." ”

"Students understand."

"By the way, it will be awarded in a month, what do you think?"

Li Jing was stunned for a moment before he replied carefully: "The official can only obey the arrangement of the imperial court, where do students dare to think nonsense?" ”

Xu Ping said with a smile: "It's man-made, how many suitable places will be vacant in the second half of the year, and I naturally know if I want to know." As a rule, you always go to the middle and upper counties, although you can't choose where to go, there is always a direction. ”

"I don't know what Mr. means?"

"I don't know if your mother is used to leaving her hometown, if I can receive you as an official, I hope you will go to Jingxi Road to take up a post. The practice of the imperial court is that they are all near and far from the term, if you go to Sichuan Gorge Liangguang or Fujian Road to serve at the beginning, no one will take care of you, which is not good for you. First in any of the counties on Jingxi Road, after the officialdom is familiar, and then go to those remote roads, it will be much more relaxed. Of course, if your mother is inconvenient, I can also find a way to arrange for you to go to Jiangnan Road or Liangzhejiang Road. However, this near road will be used up by one term, and the next one will go to the frontier. ”

Li Jing didn't think twice: "My mother is not a delicate and expensive person, I took it and raised it, and I obeyed my husband's orders." ”

The first two terms of the new science and technology were basically based on the principle of one near and one far. Far mainly refers to the Sichuan Gorge 4th Road and Fujian Road, although the two Guangzhous are also counted, but in fact no one goes, Xu Ping was an accident back then, and was made a small trip. Although the three roads of Shaanxi, Hedong and Hebei are also along the border, most of the state capitals are not far away, and only the state armies along the border are counted.

Like Wen Yanbo, when he first served as the magistrate of Yicheng County, Jiangzhou, he was close to the road. Yuci County, the second governor of Yuci County, although it is still on Hedong Road, is barely counted along the border, even if it is a remote road.

Wen Yanbo is because his family has connections in the court, which is quite reluctant, and most people do not have this kind of treatment. Generally, they go to Fujian Road and Chuanxia 4th Road, or the 3rd border state and county along the border in the north, and only ruthless people will go to Liangguang. Among them, Liangguang and the prefectures close to Wuling have been completely developed, and Guizhou is the first prosperous place, especially after Xu Ping developed the area from Yongzhou to Langzhou, Guangnan West Road is not a difficult place to stay now.

Xu Ping asked Li Jing to go to Jingxi Road because he had his own plans. First of all, he has already spent so much energy on him, and if he doesn't cultivate it after he wins the Jinshi, it's a bit reluctant to let him go out and breed freely. Another one of his current policy focuses on Kaifeng Mansion and Jingxi Road, where some reform measures are mainly implemented, and he also needs to have his own people to help.

Although Jingdong and Jingxi Road are called together, but in fact, Jingdong Road is still relatively much more prosperous, Nanjing Yingtianfu on Jingdong Road is not as good as Jingxi Road and Xijing Henan Mansion, but other state capitals, Jingxi Road is too far away from Jingdong Road. The west is not as good as the east, which means that the Jingdong Road along the Yellow River is the leader of economic development, and other roads are far inferior.

Reform is the first choice of places with few constraints, little resistance, and easy results, Xu Ping's attention is naturally on Jingxi Road. The trial implementation of Xiao Tieqian and the new tea law were both on Jingxi Road, which was intentionally done by Xu Ping.

Now there is only one person who is familiar with Xu Ping, Zhao Yan is the governor of Ruzhou, and he needs to constantly release people to the past. Li Jing is naturally the first candidate, and it just happens to give him the opportunity to practice political affairs.

Although Xu Ping is not familiar with him, his son Di Zundu is a scholar, and he asked the Sansi Engraving Book Bureau to help print the book a few times, so he can speak. To put it bluntly, this is a reasonable and legal thing, and it is not a personal fraud, no one does not sell Xu Ping, the Longtu Pavilion to be made a face.

There is a fundamental difference between the attendants and close ministers above the waiting system and other officials, and you can often see the emperor's face in private, and if you offend them, you will say a bad word about you at any time. Xu Ping made it clear again that he was close to the emperor, which would offend him.

In the past, even if Xu Ping became the deputy envoy of the third division, and the title reached the county marquis, no one in the ministers took him seriously. It's all business on the surface, which one cares about you. As soon as it rises to the level of pending, the situation is completely different. According to Xu Ping's previous life, politically, Xu Ping will also be a person in the decision-making circle from now on. (To be continued.) )
