Yanguo, Yanjing City. .t.

Han Xuanchang's Ministry of Rites has been very busy recently, and two major events need to be planned by the Ministry of Rites, the first thing is the Beijing test to be held after the beginning of spring, and the second thing is to prepare for the post-book ceremony.

Although Yan is a country with the power of a family, it does not mean that there is no way out for the children, on the contrary, after the Yan Kingdom, the implementation of the comprehensive development of civil and military affairs, on the one hand, is to encourage the people to practice martial arts and join the army, on the other hand, it also opens a trial selection.

The Beijing examination is the last big test for readers, once you get good results, you will directly enter the Hanlin Academy, and if you enter the Hanlin Academy, it is equivalent to having the qualification to be an official, as long as there is a vacancy in the official position in the court, it will usually be given priority from the Hanlin Academy.

Of course, the high-ranking officials of the six yamen, departments, and courts naturally do not have the turn of these non-family children, but those middle and low-level officials are often held by these non-family children.

If the country wants to operate, it always needs some capable talents, and the children of the family have been clothed and fed since childhood, most of them are the children of the family, and there is a talented child among the ten, which is already a fortunate thing, and some vacancies that seem to be low in official positions but very important often need to be supplemented by selecting outstanding talents from the children of non-family families.

Therefore, Yanguo will hold a Beijing examination every three years, and the readers of the six counties of Yanguo will gather in Yanjing City to fight for their future.

For these children of non-family families, they do not have the luxury of being able to serve as an official and a half-position, which is also a matter of honoring the ancestors, not to mention that if the children of non-family families have no way out at all, it is also inaccurate, at least since the founding of the country, most of the county guards are non-family children.

Now Bozhou County guards Zhao Xiqiao, the scenery is incomparable, and he almost controls the promotion of officials in Bozhou County, which can be said to be a rare powerful figure among the children of the family.

Such a character is also regarded as an idol by many non-family children.

In addition to the Beijing test, another major event prepared by the Ministry of Rites is the upcoming ceremony of canonizing the queen.

In fact, the will to canonize Han Shufei as the queen has already been passed out, but because of the rebellion of the Su family, it led to the postponement of the post-sealing ceremony, and the emperor issued an order a few days ago to the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the post-sealing ceremony as soon as possible.

After Xiao Taishi put out the table of wine, the officials of the Xiao family have now become extremely low-key, and the family struggles that appeared in the various yamen, departments and departments in the past seem to have disappeared between the **, and the Xiao officials from top to bottom are extremely cooperative with the errands of the Korean officials.

After the demise of the Su family, the Korean officials finally experienced the taste of the first family, every Korean official is now very nourished, they used to be cautious, but now they are raising their eyebrows one by one, hugging each other, and many officials are fluttering.

……

At dusk, Dr. Kong came out of the Tai Hospital.

Half a month ago, Dr. Kong just passed his 60th birthday, he was 19 years old because he was familiar with medical science, he entered the Tai Hospital as the lowest doctor, 40 years later, he was promoted step by step, and finally sat in the position of the left court judge, only one step away from the highest hospital envoy of the Tai Hospital.

The promotion system of Tai Hospital is extremely strict, and if the hospital is vacant, the left hospital will judge the promotion; If the left court determines that it is vacant, the right court will promote it to fill it; If the right court determines the vacancy, it will be promoted by the imperial doctor to fill it; If there is a shortage of imperial doctors, there will be officials who will be promoted to make up for it; Vacancies are filled by doctors, and vacancies are filled by the lowest doctors, and each level has a strict number limit.

In other words, in a yamen like Tai Hospital, the more experience and qualifications, the higher the status in Tai Hospital.

Imperial Physician Kong has been sitting in the position of the left court judge for eleven years, and he thought that he would finally be able to sit in the position of the court envoy for a few years in this life, but his health has been getting worse and worse in the past two years, and the court envoy, who is five years older than him, is still in good health.

Imperial Physician Kong often feels regretful, it seems that his body is not able to fight the master of the hospital, and the dream of the hospital ambassador in his life is afraid that it will be difficult to realize.

But I don't know if it's the time to run, two months ago, the envoy suddenly fainted in the hospital, and then recuperated in the house.

The lady concubine in the palace is pregnant with a dragon species, and every two days to check whether the fetus is healthy, this matter has always been the responsibility of the envoy, but after the envoy returned home to recuperate, the Confucius Academy sentenced to take on this responsibility.

Although the envoy returned to the hospital after a month of recuperation, I don't know if Concubine Shu appreciated the Confucius Yuan judgment very much, and the task of checking her body was personally spoken by the Shu Concubine Niangniang, and the Confucius Yuan judge has been in charge.

Although the envoy Zaitai Hospital expressed his dissatisfaction with the Confucius Yuan Judgment, and suggested several times that the Confucius Yuan Judgment would take advantage of his illness to recuperate and let him take up the work again, the Confucius Yuan Judgment turned a deaf ear.

The Confucius Yuan judged very clearly, as long as he waited carefully, and waited until the concubine Niangniang descended the dragon seed, because of his meritorious service, the nobles in the palace would be happy, and there would definitely be a big reward, and the Confucius Yuan judged that as long as he seized this opportunity and got the ** Concubine Niangniang, he was very likely to sit in the position of the envoy without waiting for the queen to retreat.

For decades, the two have fought openly and secretly, and the Confucius Institute has been at a disadvantage, and he has been sulking in his heart all the year round, and he only hopes that in his lifetime, he can take a bad breath in front of the adults of the Academy.

And he knows that Concubine Shuniang will soon become the queen of Yan Kingdom, the mother of a country, and can get the queen's grace, not only will he have a great chance to become an envoy, but his family will also benefit a lot.

So how could he give up such a great opportunity.

All the way out of the gray-brown gate of the Tai Hospital, the people in the courtyard were respectful, which made the Confucius Yuan judge very useful, touching the white beard under his chin, and turned to the carriage shed, where his coachman was wrapped in thick cotton clothes, leaning on the wheel to sleep.

Confucius coughed, the coachman woke up, hurriedly sat upright, and then Confucius walked over, lifted the curtain, and entered the car.

As soon as he entered the car, he felt his throat cold and shivered, but he saw a cold long sword against his throat.

Having lived to be sixty years old, what kind of vision world does not have? Confucius naturally understood what the other party meant, and knew that he must not shout at this time, otherwise this sword would definitely pierce his throat mercilessly.

The Confucius Yuan judge sat down opposite him tremblingly, and the first thing that came to mind was the court envoy.

Could it be that the old man of the court was so ashamed and angry that he sent someone to kill him? But waiting outside the gate of the Tai Hospital is really arrogant.

When the other party saw the Confucius Yuan judge sitting down, he said softly: "Sweet Water Alley!" ”

Confucius immediately understood what he meant, and shouted, "Go to Sweetwater Alley!" ”

Outside, the coachman shook the reins, and the carriage left the hospital and headed for Sweetwater Alley.

"I don't know what heroes have to say about finding old decay?" The Confucius Institute arched his hand and said solemnly: "Could it be that the hero wants to cure the old and save people?" If this is the case, it is not necessary to do so, and the old decay will do its best. It is our duty as healers to save lives and help the wounded. ”

The other party did not speak, and his unremarkable face was extremely indifferent, just holding a long sword in his hand, staring at Confucius Yuan lightly.

The Confucius Yuan judged that his heart was furious and he didn't dare to say more.

I don't know how long it took, the carriage passed through half of the city, and then reached a street in Beicheng District, and then turned into a deep alley, the alley was deserted, the sky was dark, and there was no one to visit.

The sword-wielder lifted the curtains, looked out, and finally said, "Stop here!" ”

The Confucius Yuan ordered the coachman to stop, and then he got out of the carriage tremblingly, but saw that it was parked outside a small courtyard, and the sword-bearer put away his long sword, pointed to the hidden door, and said, "You go in by yourself, there are people waiting for you inside!" ”

Confucius Yuan frowned and said, "I don't know who wants to see old decay?" Seeing that the sword-wielding man's face sank, he hurriedly said: "The old man just went in." ”

He felt a chill in his heart, but in the cold gaze of the sword-wielder, he finally approached the past, gently pushed the door open, and saw that the courtyard was extremely silent, he entered the courtyard, looked left and right, and heard a somewhat old voice next to him: "Confucius Yuanju, please!" ”

He was taken aback, turned his head, and saw an old man over fifty years old suddenly appear, and the old man didn't say much, but walked straight to a room, gently pushed the door open, and said to the Confucius Academy: "Go in!" ”

Confucius only felt very strange, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, passed his steps like lead, glanced at the old man, and finally entered the house, as soon as he entered, he heard the door of the house behind him being closed.

The house was as silent as death, and the fire flashed in the side room, and the Confucius Yuan judge walked lightly, only to see that the door was half open, and when he arrived at the door, he did not dare to enter for a while.

But I heard a deep voice from inside: "Is it the judgment of the Confucius Academy?" If you are disappointed, please come in! ”

Confucius Yuan Judge hurriedly said: "It's the old decay!" He straightened his clothes and pushed the door open, but he saw a man sitting in a chair, and he looked through the book by the lamp on the table.

The man was wearing a black brocade robe and a gray coat, and when he saw the Confucius Yuan judge coming in, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid of the Confucius Yuan Judge, this official wants to discuss with the court judge, but it is not easy for people to know, so he made this decision, and I hope that the Confucius Yuan judge will not be surprised!" ”

Confucius Yuan judged that he looked at the dim light a few times, recognized the other party, was taken aback, hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said, "It turned out that Lord Han summoned me, and the lower official was rude!" ”

The person in this house suddenly turned out to be the head of the household, Han Xuandao.
