Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 53

Emperor Jiade paid high enough attention to the funeral of King Beijing Jing.

The Gao Biao arrived the next day, and Jia Ying had a headache after hearing a lot of complicated things, but she still understood the general meaning.

Add seals, bestow seals, posthumous title of Wu Jing, bestow the Yin of Zhongshan for burial, and imperial bestow two stone figures, stone horses, stone sheep, stone tigers, and stone watch pillars for burial. Gongchen Temple
This posthumous mourning is completely in accordance with the specifications of a generation of kings of Beijing.

The most pitiful ones are those officials in the Ministry of Rites. The yamen has not yet opened the seal, but the holiday has ended early, the Lantern Festival has not been completed, and a huge funeral is exhausting, and no overtime pay!
It might take more than half a month until the funeral is over. Except for the first few days when Jia Ying went to the North Prince's Mansion on time to "dianmao", after the funeral process got back on track, he stopped going there.

On the 21st of the first lunar month, there are ten days left before the ninth day of the second lunar month, when the big and small yamen in the capital open their seals.

On this day, Jia Ying went to the water-melted garden in the west of the city to visit fellow scholars from southern Xinjiang, and discussed with them the direction of this year's Chunwei test questions.

Since they settled here that day, Jia Ying also came here twice, and gave them a few cotton-padded clothes and some New Year's goods. I thought the winter in Beijing was as warm as that in southern Xinjiang!

When Jia Ying entered the garden, she never thought that Feng Ziying was also here, chatting happily with a group of scholars.

I wondered in my heart: "When did the two sides become so familiar?"

Before entering the room, Jia Ying laughed loudly and said, "Brother Yunlong, Brother Zichen, fellow villagers, how are you doing with your homework?"

Turning to Feng Ziying again, he said, "Oh? Brother Feng is here too?"

Feng Ziying went down to Jia Ying to greet him and said: "I was a frequent visitor to this garden, and the prince is also very hospitable, but his house has not stopped since years ago, so naturally I can't care about entertaining guests here. I took over the job for him!"

"Thank you, Brother Jia Ying, for taking care of your fellow countrymen in southern Xinjiang!" Jia Ying said with another hug.

Feng Ziying smiled slightly, waved her hands and said: "I am naturally fond of trouble and not quiet, and I also like to make friends from all over the world, gossiping and chatting freely, which is fun, brother don't have to be like this!"

Jia Ying smiled and nodded.

He asked again, "What are we talking about today?"

But Liu Yunlong replied from the side: "We scholars from other places want to know about the situation of Chunwei in order to prepare, but we suffer from the lack of news, so we entrust Brother Feng to help us find out."

Jia Ying has also been paying attention to the news in this area these days. After all, knowing who the examiner is in advance is of great benefit for the exam.It's just that Jia Ying's time in Beijing is not too short, but the officials of the DPRK and China who really know each other and can talk can be counted with a single slap.

Nan'an Palace is an old relationship left by his father when he was in southern Xinjiang, but Nan'an King is not in Beijing at the moment.The Beijing Palace only knows one Shui Rong, so it's even more inconvenient to disturb him at this moment.Also, his teacher Feng Hengshi is not in Beijing.

The rest are Jia Zheng and Fu Donglai.It's also difficult for Jia Zheng to see each other these days because of the incident over there.

As for Fu Donglai, he must have news about this.It's just that with his identity and position, by then, I'm afraid he will be kicked out before he even opens his mouth.

Jia Ying originally planned to inquire about Li Xiaobao and Xu's second son, but now it seems that it is unnecessary.

This Feng Ziying, Mr. Feng, was born in a wealthy family and has traveled far and wide, but he is very well informed.

Jia Ying looked at several people and asked, "Any news?"

Feng Ziying said: "I was talking about this with everyone just now. I heard that this year's candidates for the chief examiner may have changed a lot from previous years."

"How to say?" Jia Ying asked curiously.

Feng Ziying explained: "In previous years, the chief examiner and deputy chief examiner of Chunwei were all submitted by the cabinet and approved by His Majesty. However, in previous years, the cabinet was headed by Li and Xu, and there was no disagreement. Last year, after Donglai Gong was promoted to be a Dongge University Bachelor, the situation in the cabinet became a little different. I heard that Donglai Gong also mentioned one person in the cabinet submission list this year, but it was a foreign official."

Jia Ying naturally knew that this time Chunwei was actually the Enke opened by Jiade and Fu Donglai in order to select talents for the New Deal in the future.At this time, they will naturally not let people intervene easily.only.
What kind of attitude will Li and Xu have? As long as they hold different opinions, the name of the person Fu Donglai mentioned will never reach the imperial court.

Curious in my heart, I asked, "Is there no objection in the cabinet?"

Sure enough, Feng Ziying knew the inside story, and he only heard him say: "The blame is here. Although there were rumors in the past that Li and Xu were at odds with each other, they all had a tacit understanding on this matter. It’s nothing more than quota distribution. Only this time, Elder Li Ge uncharacteristically supported Duke Donglai, and the other cabinet ministers also took a wait-and-see attitude when they saw this, only Elder Xu Ge opposed it, but it was of no avail.”

Jia Ying thought to himself: "It seems that Duke Donglai's method has worked! Is the person behind Huguang the chief assistant?"

But Jia Ying didn't jump to conclusion lightly, the water inside is too deep, don't expect a big reversal of the plot at that time, slapping the face doesn't hurt.

What Jia Ying and the other southern Xinjiang scholars are most concerned about right now is the matter of the chief examiner.

Feng Ziying was the most understanding, and he continued: "I don't have any definite information on who the person mentioned by Duke Donglai is, but it is said to be from Guangdong. There are three remaining candidates for the deputy chief examiner. I think one should be selected from the candidates mentioned by the two elders, and the other should be a member of the royal family. As for the examiner of the eighteenth room, it will not be known until the chief examiner and deputy chief examiner are selected. "

Jia Ying thought carefully about the meaning of Feng Ziying's words. The person Donglai mentioned was "from Guangdong", and there were two meanings.One is that the other party's ancestral home is Guangdong, and the other is working in Guangdong.

But no matter which one, the conditions of his background are certain. First, he must be a senior member of the second rank or above;

There are quite a few Jinshi who were originally from Guangdong in the court, but there are not many in high positions. As for the other party who is an official in Guangdong, the range is even smaller.

"Looks like I'll have to investigate further when I go back." Jia Ying thought to herself.

I'm afraid Feng Ziying already has someone who has confirmed it in his heart, but before the court makes a decree, there are always variables, and he probably won't be able to answer it all at once. It is already rare to be able to share so much useful information with them. .

At the same time, Jia Ying couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Feng Ziying has so many ways, no wonder everyone said that he was full of mystery.

Even after being a military officer, the information of the civil service system is so clear, I am afraid that his father, General Feng Tang, is not as good as him.
