I, my father-in-law, set off a frenzy of public examinations in ancient times

"This is a letter from the emperor, see you on the way, Luzhi County."

emperor? !A letter to a courtier? !
Lu Xiaoyue suddenly felt that her whole heart was trembling, and she wished to ride on the horse and take office immediately, and wanted to see what the emperor had written.

Lu Xiaoyue winked at her sister and her father, and Lu Xiucai continued to look back at Lu Xiaoyue with a blank expression on her face. On the contrary, it was her sister who quickly took out a large piece of silver and stuffed it into Xiaoyu's hand:
"My father-in-law, I don't have much to sell at home, so please ask him to pick up some wine for this little money..."

"How can this be done?!——" Xiaoyu quickly pushed back, and sternly refused: "Little Eunuch Guan is the most annoying about this! Besides, we are not short of money..."

That appearance of resistance is really avoiding like a snake and a scorpion.But people are as fine as small fish, and they can't pass on the face of Lu's family...

"Who said that Lu Zhixian's family doesn't have any good things?!" Xiaoyu pointed to the steamed buns on the cage drawer, and smiled happily: "How can the buns praised by the emperor and the queen mother not be as precious as those dumb things? ?”

Lu Xiucai was completely shocked now: Are all the people in the palace so eloquent? ...

The people outside poked their heads in desperately, still chattering: "Pass it on quickly, Lu Xiucai's buns have been praised by the Tian family!..."

"That's right," Xiaoyu continued:
"Lu Zhi County, these two palace servants holding the tray were specially ordered by Mrs. Guan to accompany you to take up the post! One of them is a medical girl, and the other is quite skilled in foreign affairs, so they can protect Lu Zhi County..."

Mrs. Lu and Lu Xiucai looked at each other, the Tian family was really thoughtful!They couldn't accompany Xiaoyue to take office, and now they knew that someone was accompanying them, but they were relieved for the most part.

Lu Xiaoyue blinked her sour eyes, unable to say any words of gratitude, she only faced the direction of the palace, and kowtowed deeply three times.

"Elder Yu, please thank you, Eunuch Guan for me... I want it, and I will set off today..."

"This is for sure. Luzhi County, cherish it!——"

"You have traveled a long way and endured a lot of hardships before you handed this Enke examination paper to me. Ten years of hard study, it is not easy; it is like a dream, but I want you to go there in a blink of an eye. In office, separated from relatives.

Most of the Jinshi who choose to be county magistrates come from humble backgrounds, and they have an inherent ideal of becoming a leader, but I think, more in your heart is "to establish a heart for the world, to establish a life for the people, to inherit the sage's knowledge, and to create peace for all generations." The ideal; this ideal and belief has become more and more profound in the day after day of writing.

I hope that I have given you a platform that can't be wider in your mind to show your ambitions. "

Lu Xiaoyue sat on the swaying carriage, opened the envelope, looked at the letter written by the emperor himself, clenched her hands into fists and put them to her lips, suppressing her deep sobs.

"At Xiaoguanzi's 'Opening Ceremony', he made some practical demands on you, and I'm thinking of making some ideological demands on you as well:

The first point is not only the superior, not only the book, but only the truth, "The orders of the big officials are inconvenient, and the bedroom is not good; if there is a break, go straight to your own will"; if the order of the superior is unrealistic, it will be shelved and not implemented. , no matter how many levels he is higher than you, not even me.

The second point is to put an end to formalism and bureaucracy. Don’t think that you are close to the people and people’s livelihood when you go deep into the county. You should go to the fields from time to time to listen to what the people say and think. Don’t be afraid to measure the fields and streams with your feet. .My personal experience tells me: "It is better not to defend than to defend thousands of miles away." If it has reached the point of "defending the mouth of the people is worse than defending Sichuan", Aiqing's official career must have come to an end.

The third point is to integrate clean and good officials into one. Some people say that good officials are not necessarily not greedy for money, but clean officials must seek a good reputation.You have to remember that you must be on the side of the common people. You have read a lot of poetry and books, and you think you understand better than me. The meaning of "benefit" means that if you are not used to the unhealthy atmosphere in the officialdom, you will try to change it; if you suffer from the cruel officials' exploitation, you will actively and proactively make the methods such as "drench the tip and kick the dendrobium" disappear...

Dayong belongs to me, but it also belongs to you, and it also belongs to tens of thousands of people; here, just to remember, I wish Aiqing a prosperous future, 'keep your reputation forever'!
This is me, the only 'covenant between monarch and minister' with you! -"

After Lu Xiaoyue saw it, she cried bitterly in the car, she could only keep shouting "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." and put the letter in her chest carefully.With that appearance, I would be willing to teach her to die immediately...

As a biography, she didn't seem to realize that this half-literal "message" should not come from His Majesty the Emperor Dayong who didn't read all the four books and five classics...

***
"...This is the only 'covenant between monarch and subject' with you!—" When Han Yinchu finished writing the eighth part, "snap!——" he threw the pen out and left it on the ground. Many big and small ink dots.

Guan Yujun turned his head at his small desk, looked at the gloomy Han Yinchu, swallowed his saliva, and said flatteringly:
"My lord, there are not many copies left, let's work harder!——"

Han Yin turned her head sadly at the beginning:
"Isn't it okay to let you or other pen eunuchs do this kind of work? If it doesn't work, I'll call them up for a meeting... You have to make it so mysterious and nasty!"

Guan Yujun shook his index finger: "Hmm~~~ How can the emperor do this thing himself 'moving heaven and earth'! 'Scholars die for their confidants', you will never know how romantic scholars are." , what will they do in order to realize the ideals in their hearts and realize the loyalty to the monarch and the country..."

"What is 'romantic'?... No, you tell me first, you said that I will 'never' understand this 'romantic', meaning that I will not be able to read so many books by them in my life?—"

"Huh?!——" Guan Yujun was sweating profusely, when did this bastard get so smart? ...

Guan Yujun, who had a strong desire to survive, subconsciously pulled out a smile: "Where... What Xiao Guanzi means is that the Holy Majesty's army is so embarrassing that he can't understand the inner thoughts of their rotten scholars, isn't it a matter of course?" ?

This, this is called..." Guan Yujun rolled his eyes, searching desperately:

"'How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan'?" Han Yinchu ostentatiously said, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

"That's right! That's what Xiaoguanzi means!—" Guan Yujun breathed a sigh of relief, that is, how could a bird like Han Yinchu know the ambitions of those grand swans...
