I want to be a grandson

Chapter 394 I can only bear this pot
"My minister sees Your Highness!"

In the Wenhua Palace, Qi Tai begged to see him, and after saluting to Zhu Yunxi, he told the story of the Guozijian.

Although Zhu Yunxi was not present, relying on the mathematical knowledge learned by later generations, he came up with several difficult problems for them to solve.

Of the four questions, two of them are awarded points, and those who are proficient in arithmetic can solve them after some thinking.

But the other two are a little bit beyond the current level of arithmetic, and they need to go back and do more research before they can find the answer.

"Today in the Imperial College, His Highness posed two difficult problems, which made them hard to break. After half an hour, no one was able to solve them. After the answer was announced, they followed it up and then understood..."

"That's why these imperial students admire His Highness's talent and learning very much, and his subordinates also followed His Highness's instructions and left them with two more difficult problems. I guess they will feel uncomfortable..."

The reason why two problems are left is to allow them to do research. Only when people have the spirit of research can they be able to improve.

Arithmetic has also been in a gradual process from ancient times to the present, getting higher and deeper.

Zhu Yunxi nodded in satisfaction, and asked, "Who won the first place today?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, he is a Gongsheng from the Imperial College, named Xia Yuanji..."

Zhu Yunxi was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Who are you talking about?"

Qi Tai took out a piece of paper from his bosom, on which was recorded the supervisor's files, and reported: "This man's name is Xia Yuanji, his ancestral home is Dexing, Jiangxi, and later he lived in Xiangyin, Changsha Prefecture, Huguang.

This is the tribute book that my subordinates brought from the Imperial College, please look at it, Your Highness. "

Wang Zhong took it and gently placed it on Zhu Yun's desk.

Taking advantage of Zhu Yunxi's time watching, Qi Tai reported: "Your Highness, Xia Yuanji was born in a poor family. It was the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

Xia's father and his wife and mother migrated to Xiangyin. The family was poor and had no one to depend on, and the situation was very difficult. "

"In Xiangyin, there are two highly respected teachers named Shi Jiushao and Zheng Yinju. Xia Yuanji had worshiped them as teachers successively, and he studied very hard. There is nothing special about his knowledge, but he is especially good at "Poetry" and "Book of Songs". Spring and Autumn".

At the age of 16, due to his poor family, Xia Yuanji began to teach in a private school in the countryside to support his family.Ruoguan was admitted to the county school, and he was born in the city.

In the 23rd year of Hongwu, Xia Yuanji was recommended by Huguang Township to study in Guozijian because of his proficiency in "Book of Songs". "

"Now besides studying, he has also been selected into the palace to write patents."

Zhu Yunxi hummed lightly, but did not answer.

There is another story about being selected into the palace to write the edict. Once, the students of the imperial court laughed loudly, but Xia Yuanji sat still.

After Zhu Yuanzhang saw him, he felt that he was very extraordinary, so he was promoted to be the head of the household department.

But judging from the present, he has not been discovered by Zhu Yuanzhang, but how to arrange this person makes Zhu Yunxi hesitate.

Qi Tai saw the strangeness, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Your Highness, is there anything wrong?"

Zhu Yunxi didn't say anything, and said, "Has he been rewarded?"

"The rewards are gone, but how should the official positions of the sixth grade be arranged, please show me, Your Highness?"

Zhu Yunxi picked up the teacup on the desk, took a sip slowly, and couldn't stop thinking about it.

Looking up, he suddenly found Zhang Fu on the side looking bored, and couldn't help frowning.

Zhang Fu also sensed a different feeling, so he took a peek and met His Highness's terrifying gaze,

Zhang Fu was taken aback by the shock, and quickly straightened his back, showing a serious look.

Zhu Yunxi said thoughtfully: "In this case... then let him go to the military and horse office and act as the acting commander for the time being."

Five Cities Soldiers and Horses?
"Your Highness, the Wucheng Bingma Division belongs to the Ministry of War and has always been headed by generals. After all, Xia Yuanji is a literati, so I'm afraid it will be embarrassing..."

Zhu Yunxie made up his mind and said: "The commander happens to be a sixth-rank official. You can go and see which soldiers and horses are short of people and ask him to take up the post immediately."

Qi Tai couldn't figure out what the mystery was, thinking that since His Highness had arranged this way, there must be some intentions, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"Your Highness, at present, only Nancheng Bingma Si lacks a commander. In the past two years, the deputy commander has acted as his agent, but..."

"Speak straight!"

Qi Tai truthfully reported: "Your Highness, because Nancheng Bingmasi manages most of the Qinhuai River, those high-ranking officials, dignitaries, rich households and gentry like to go there for entertainment, so it is also the most difficult place to manage..."

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Zhang Fu, Zhang Fu's face flushed immediately, he was extremely embarrassed, and felt uncomfortable all over.

Your Highness, this reminds me of my mess in the restaurant again!

Why is the Qinhuai River area difficult to manage?
It's because the soldiers and horses can't afford to mess with the people who go there!

After those nobles, the sons of courtiers, various relatives, and various celebrities, all like to play prostitutes and be arty.

But these people rely on their own power, the most lawless!
The Commander of the Army and Horse Division sounds quite bluffing, but he is actually a little sixth-rank official!

What kind of situation is really going to happen, do you care or not?Can you manage it?
But Zhu Yunxi was unmoved, and said: "That's it! Let him take office, and the official documents will go from your official department."

Qi Tai's expression was a little stiff, but he didn't dare to say more, so he had no choice but to accept orders.

There is a big difference between appointing by His Highness and appointing by the Ministry of Household Affairs!

One is appreciated by His Highness, the future is limitless, the other is the formal process, nothing special,

Moreover, letting a scholar take up an official position that can only be held by a military general, the most difficult thing is the Nancheng Army Commander. No matter how you look at it, it's like putting on small shoes for someone!

Well, this pot can only be carried by the officials.

The functions and powers of the Bingmasi Yamen are very complicated. They are responsible for patrolling and arresting thieves in the capital, clearing streets, ditches and prisoners, fighting, gathering crowds to make trouble, disturbing order, and fighting with each other.
There are also fire, theft and anti-theft... There are no cute girlfriends here!

Anyway, any trivial matter you can think of is taken care of by the soldiers and horses.

If there is any serious case, it will be handed over to Yingtian Mansion, Ministry of Criminal Justice, or Dali Temple.

I do the most dirty work, but I can't get credit for it. It's a typical thankless job.

In addition, the hall official is the lowest level, has no sense of existence, and is the easiest to be dumped by others, becoming a famous taker.

Therefore, for those who have connections and talents, they will never be willing to come to Bing Ma Si.

However, for those low-level officials, if they don't have any pursuits, Wucheng Bingmasi is a good choice, because there are many things in charge, and there will naturally be more oil and water.

"My lord, please, my lord has ordered someone to clean up the mansion at the back, and my lord can live in today."

Xia Yuanji was surrounded by several officials of the Bingma Division and came to the lobby of the Bingma Division.

When Xia Yuanji received the appointment document from the Ministry of Officials, he was also very surprised. How could he arrange for him to be a general?
But he didn't say anything, as long as it comes, it will be safe.

"Thank you, I will move in later, so there is no need to rush."

In the hall, Xia Yuanji sat on the main seat, and the other officials who were qualified to enter the Tang Dynasty were divided into two rows and took their seats.

After everyone exchanged polite greetings for a while, they reported their official positions and major management matters one by one.

According to the configuration of the Bingma Division, there will be one sixth-rank official and four deputy commanders in the command division, who will be the seventh-rank official and one official.

After Xia Yuanji listened to everyone's speech, he always had a smile on his face. The four people in front of him were not bad. He knew that although he was a scholar, his attitude was still polite.

"The imperial court appointed me to be the commander of the Nancheng Bingma Division. I saw that the Bingma Division is full of talents, each with their own strengths, and they are loyal to their duties.

With you here, my commander must be much more relaxed, and I will have to rely on your help in the future. Thank you in advance! "

Xia Yuanji said again: "The Bingma Division should have a deputy commander, Chen Hai. I don't know if he has been here today?"

"My lord, Mrs. Chen Hai's family suddenly fell ill and she is not in good health. Therefore, I am not here today. Please forgive me."

Xia Yuanji kept his composure, and said with a very regretful expression: "So, it's such an unfortunate coincidence that the officer just arrived today, and Deputy Commander Chen's wife fell ill... It's really regrettable... "

"By the way, according to the rules, you need to ask for leave before you arrive. Is there a handwritten letter from Mr. Chen?"

"This..." Xu Chao was at a loss for what to do.

Another deputy commander, Gao Xing, hurriedly said: "My lord, it's like this. Because Mrs. Chen Hai suddenly fell ill, he left in a hurry, so he hasn't had time to prepare the handwritten letter..."

When Xu Chao heard this, he hurriedly said, "Yes, it is indeed in a hurry, but this is also human nature, please don't blame me, my lord."

Xia Yuanji knew that he was also the deputy commander, but the right to speak in the yamen was also different.

What's more, Nancheng Bingmasi has been represented by Chen Hai for the past two years. If there is no accident, he will be promoted to the sixth rank immediately, and the word "agent" will be removed.

But it happened by accident!The imperial court even arranged for a civil servant!
And Chen Hai did not come to greet him, obviously because he looked down on his status as a civil servant, and wanted to use this to show his attitude, so that he could lower his posture and "beg" him to come back.

But the children of the poor have long been in charge of the family, and Xia Yuanji's teacher is the teacher. From their experience, they have seen the warmth and coldness of human relationships and intrigue.

How can this little trick be hidden from a sensible person!
But Xia Yuanji was not prepared to bow his head.

First, I have no background, and I have nothing to do with being in the capital, and second, I have no admirable achievements, plus my status as a civil servant.

Once you bow your head and give in, you will completely lose the right to speak and be completely emptied!There is no position in the Bingma Division, and even the small officials can't command it!

There are three fires for a new official to take office, and the first fire is extinguished. Who still believes in themselves?Who dares to rely on themselves?
So no matter what, Xia Yuanji must win!
"I also sympathize with Mrs. Chen's experience, and hope Mrs. Chen will be well soon and free from illness...

However, there is no such thing as a circle without rules. As officials of the imperial court, how can we see the court rules as child's play! "
