Chapter 21: The same year
The emperor is pro-government, so naturally there must be some new atmosphere, and it is a measure to open a system and seek talents. However, Xu Ping can only look at this kind of thing, he has neither the strength nor the energy to take this kind of exam.
Xu Ping introduced his father to Wu Yu, and Wu Yu hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Xu relied on donating officials to enter the office, and he entered this hall by many coincidences, and the people who followed the scholars did not have a common language. Seeing his son chatting with the same year about their topic, Xu Zheng said goodbye with interest and went to find someone he could talk to.
This kind of front hall early dynasty, people who really have a bright future don't pay much attention, even if some officials have always been courteous and law-abiding, they can't stand the chaotic order here, and most of them are on long leave. On the contrary, Xu Zheng is a person who either donates an official or gets an idle official according to his father's shadow, and he can't see the future in the future, so he is keen to come here. Most of their social circles are ordinary civilians, and they can brag all over the sky and elevate their status when they return early. Although he couldn't see the emperor in the early dynasty, he could see Zaifu every time, and he was still a high-ranking figure for ordinary people.
Xu Ping and Wu Yu moved their positions, found a place with fewer people, and talked about their experiences in the past few years.
At this time, the captured Jiaozhi monarchs are on their way, and it is expected that they will arrive in the capital at the end of September or early October, and the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners will be another major event this year, and it has already spread from south to north. With this news, Xu Ping's actions in Yongzhou in recent years have also been widely known, so most of the time Xu Ping is listening to Wu Yu talk about his experience.
Tiansheng five-year jinshi, the first class is the general judgment of Dazhou, and the second-class A department is the magistrate of Shangxian County. Wu Yu served as the county governor of Lin'an and the county of Xiangcheng for the second time. Excellent political performance. The next term is going to be a big state judge.
Especially in Xiangcheng County. It's done something big and eye-catching. Zhao Defang, the fourth son of Taizu, was buried in Ruzhou, and his descendants were also buried. After Wu Yu arrived, he found a way to solve this problem, cut off the way for the inner servants to make a fortune, and was very jealous of the inner servants, and often went to the door in the middle of the night. Let the whole county not be at peace. It is also Wu Yu's good life, the emperor is pro-government, and the original servants have lost their favor, which has become his greatest political achievement.
For ordinary officials, Wu Yu's political achievements are dazzling enough that they will be reused in the future. But in front of Xu Ping, it looked bleak, and any thing Xu Ping took out in Yongzhou was enough for Wu Yu to look up to.
But this is not the time to talk about face, Wu Yu is very serious about his experience, and tries to let Xu Ping hear it clearly. At this time, Xu Ping's official was already far above the same class. There is the emperor as a backer behind him, and his own merits are strong enough. Naturally, he became the leader of the Heavenly Saint Five-Year Jinshi. The gap between the two is big enough, Wu Yu has no need to care about his face in front of Xu Ping, but relies on his future support.
Purely in terms of official position, at this time, Ji Ying was appointed as the judge of the Du Branch, Zhao Yan was appointed as the judge of the household department, and Wang Yaochen had left from the appointment of the judge of the Du Branch, which was the same year as Xu Ping, and Xu Ping was really not a high-ranking official even if he was successfully appointed as a judge of salt and iron. But if it is sent regardless of the dispatch, just from the official point of view, Xu Ping is much higher than the others. The highest Wang Yaochen has not yet arrived in Langzhong, but Xu Ping will soon arrive in Langzhong, this distance will not be able to catch up in ten or eight years, and the distance will get bigger and bigger.
Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xu Ping's salt and iron judge is only a transition, and after a few months of stabilization, he will at least become the deputy envoy of the third division, and then the gap with others will be completely widened.
Wu Yuguan was born in a family of eunuchs, and there are naturally people in the court to carry him, but compared with the big tree of Xu Ping, it is still less meaningful.
The same list of Jinshi of the year, several important figures, Wang Yaochen and Zhao Ji did not mention it in the pavilion, Han Qi was in charge of the left library at this time, and after a few days he and Xu Ping took the academy together, and they were still struggling with their qualifications. Wen Yanbo is in Yuci Renzhi County, Bao Zheng has not yet been filial at home, and Wang Su is in Xuzhou as a general judge.
It is difficult to move an inch in the officialdom without holding a group, and the epic only records the achievements of officials, but rarely mentions the group of relatives and friends behind them. In fact, behind every minister who leaves his name, there are indispensable characters who promote and help them.
Xu Ping has already understood this, officialdom is a big net, and everyone is intricately entangled. Whoever can associate more nodes in this network will have the first opportunity. Family, in-laws, friends, and the same year are all threads in this net, and each line must be managed well.
Although he has no political ambitions, in line with the principle of benefit and harmlessness, Xu Ping also carefully manages each of his relationship lines. He was born in a commoner, except for the coincidental relationship with his cousin Li Yonghe and his family, there is no one else to rely on, and he must cherish this gang of the same year.
Speaking of his own experience, Wu Yu said: "Since we went to our respective posts a few years ago, even though we exchanged letters in the same year, we still felt a lot colder. Yun Xing's return this time is a great achievement, and it will be of great use in the future, and it is also the glory of our Heavenly Sage Five-Year Jinshi. In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there will be a public holiday in the court, so it is better to call the same year that he served in Jingli and Zuojinzhou County, and drink and chant poetry, which is also a beautiful thing. ”
"That's very good. I just returned to Beijing, and I don't know the address of other people, so why don't I be contacted by Chunqing? ”
Wu Yu said with a smile: "It's naturally okay for me to run errands, but I have to borrow the name of Chongyunxing." Speaking of the sky, now in the capital, only you are famous and can recruit people. ”
As soon as Wu Yu mentioned it, Xu Ping understood. Whoever comes forward to recruit is in the limelight, but at this time, there is no one who steals the limelight with him in the same year.
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Ping said to Wu Yu: "Since this is the case, I will gather in my manor in Zhongmu County during the Mid-Autumn Festival vacation." Although it is a little remote, the scenery is good, and it is far away from the capital, so we are at ease. ”
"Okay, then it's settled, I'll go and tell the other people to know. By the way, Wang Zhongyi is in Xuzhou, which is not far from the capital, I don't know if he is free. The left and right are in the countryside of Yunxing Zhongmu, and it is not considered to return to Beijing for no reason. ”
Officials who are outside the country, without an edict or a decree, cannot leave the administrative area and steal back to the capital without permission. Although Wang Su has a prominent family background, he can't help but take this rule seriously.
Xu Ping said: "It's okay, I'll send a letter to Xuzhou, and someone will send it over to see if he comes." ”
Wang Su is the son of the famous minister Wang Dan, although the Wang family of Sanhuaitang cannot be said to be prosperous at this time, but there are many contacts, and it is natural that he cannot be left out if he wants to pull a relationship.
The two were gossiping, and before they knew it, the sun rose outside, illuminating the hall.
The officers and soldiers who maintained order were all experienced, and they knew that the early dynasty in the hanging arch hall behind them was about to end, so they cheered up and began to rectify the chaotic order in the hall.
Xu Ping and Wu Yu separated, each looking for their own shift position. According to the rank and ministry, everyone has their own place to stand, and although the front hall is not too delicate in the early dynasty, it must always stand very differently.
According to his own official, Xu Ping naturally stood in front and waited quietly for the shift to come over.
It didn't take long for the governor to come over in a hurry. He was on duty, and he had to go to the front hall to draw after the morning was over, and even if he was absent after an hour, the time was very tight.
After entering the Wende Palace, he took a breath in front of the crowd, and Yan Shu said loudly: "It's okay today, let's disperse early." ”
A group of court officials sang a promise loudly, saluted like a ceremony, and the crowd slowly dispersed.
Except for a very few days, when Ban Zaifu came over and said that there was nothing to do today, in fact, if there was a big event, he would not discuss it with these idle officials, unless there was some amnesty ceremony or something. Everyone had long been accustomed to it, and they withdrew from the temple one after another.
Xu Ping also retreated with the flow of people, but was stopped by Yan Shu, who was panting in front: "Xu Ping, today's edict, you and Han Qi will try the academy in three days, and I will only wait for the decree to be given to you later." You have been diligent in government affairs all these years, so you don't have to go to court these days, go back and review poetry and books well, and prepare for the college exam!
