Chapter 135 Teachers and Students
Gao Wen: "May I ask who the county lord wants the students to meet with you, but the prefect of Pingliang?"

Diao Hualong didn't take it seriously, even with disdain: "You mean prefect Liang, what's the use of being a fatuous old man, just follow me, why ask so many questions?"

Indeed, although Diao Hualong has a small official position and a bad reputation, like Du Shenghui, he is a cadre parachuted from the capital. Fuck old bureaucrats.

He yelled outside: "Prepare the sedan chair, I have to go out."

At that moment, Gao Wen took a light sedan chair from Diaozhi County, walked on the street for a long time, and returned to the Gongyuan again.

He was puzzled in his heart. It is said that he was responsible for a big bloody case.If Diao Hualong wanted to find someone to handle this matter, he would have to find someone who was a leader in the locality, so why did he come to the Confucian Temple again?

The gatekeeper of the Confucian Temple obviously knew Diao Hualong, and when he saw him get off the sedan chair, he went up to meet him: "Is Diaozhi County here to see the chief examiner?"

Diao Hualong nodded: "Exactly, please inform me."

Menzi laughed and said, "Master Diao has been here many times before, so he still needs to report? It's hot today, and the chief examiner is afraid of the sun. He is studying at his residence, so go!"

After entering the Confucian Temple, Gao Wen became more and more confused the more he walked.The chief examiner of this courtyard examination is Xu Xuan, who won the first place in this year's imperial examination. Speaking of which, Master Xu is also his teacher.Originally, according to Shihlin's rules, all Chinese candidates had to bring a gift to thank their teachers on the second day after the rankings were released.

Gao Wenwen planned to come here tomorrow with a few scholars who had achieved fame in the same period, but unfortunately, the big eagle and young eagle from the Criminal Division came to his door and asked him to go to Xi'an early tomorrow morning to bring justice.There is no way, this matter can only be done.

At this time, Diao Hualong brought me over to see what Xu Zhen was doing, could he be of help to me?

By the way, although Master Xu has lost his power, he came to Shaanxi this time to rectify the military.Even if the errand is messed up, there is still some power at hand.The most wonderful thing is that he came to Shaanxi this time to recruit soldiers and supervise the censors.

What does the supervisory censor do? In charge of inspecting all officials, inspecting prefectures and counties, prison lawsuits, military service, sacrifices, camp work, and Taifu, in one sentence, it is to find faults for others, and the discipline inspectors who supervise hundreds of officials are equivalent to those of later generations. The Commission for Discipline Inspection was sent by the central government.Although the position is not high, the power is quite large.

As a lover of literature and history, Gao Wen naturally knew how powerful the officials of the Ming Dynasty were.This Diao Hualong was able to hook up with Mr. Xu. With Mr. Xu coming forward, the case could not be turned around.Moreover, he is a scholar in his hands, and they have the status of teachers and students.The students have something to do, can the teacher help?

This surprised and delighted Gao Wen.

Xu Yu was reading a book, and as soon as he entered the courtyard where he lived, he heard a clear reading sound: "That's why, when a gentleman moves, the world becomes the way of the world, when he acts, the world becomes the law of the world, and when he speaks, the world becomes the law of the world. Hopeful, if you get close, you will never tire..."

A gentleman's behavior can become the leader of the world from generation to generation, his behavior can become the law of the world from generation to generation, and his language can become the standard of the world from generation to generation.If you are far away, you will look up, and if you are close, you will not be disgusted.

Diao Hualong didn't dare to disturb him, so he took Gao Wen and stood outside the door respectfully.

Although Gao Wen stayed in the examination room for two days and two nights, he had never seen this chief examiner.In fact, the chief examiner is only responsible for setting the questions and finally ranking the Chinese candidates.He was still very curious about his nominal mentor.He straightened his neck and looked inside, but through the Qi window, how could he see clearly.

As soon as he stretched his neck, the sound of reading inside stopped: "Zilin, come as soon as you come, what are you doing with irrelevant people?"

Diao Hualong: "Teacher, I want you to know that you are an old man, but you are not an outsider. It is the first case selected by your mentor to enter the Academy of Sciences. Zhuang Lang has a high morale."

"Ah!" Gao Wen let out a low voice, a little confused.It turns out that Diao Hualong, whose name is Zilin, is Xu Yu's student!No, I'm a student of Diao Hualong, and now I'm a student of a teacher from Diaozhi County. Isn't this generational hierarchy messed up?

"Ah what?" Inside, Xu Yu's tone was very bad, "Zilin, if my teacher knew that Gao Wen was your student, I would definitely not take the undergraduate exam."

Diao Hualong was a little embarrassed: "The so-called external promotion does not avoid enemies, and internal promotion does not avoid relatives. The imperial court has its own system for the grand ceremony of talent promotion, and the mentor is bright and open, so why should he be afraid of others' comments? I brought Gao Wen here today because I really have an important matter to report. "

That's right, the imperial examination system developed to the middle of the Ming Dynasty and has been perfected.Starting from the hospital examination, after the candidates have completed the papers, they must paste their names.Then ask someone to transcribe the paper and send it to the examiner for numbering.

After the marking was completed, he took the original paper, tore off the seams, and filled in the names of the Chinese candidates on the list.Before that, as an examiner, you had no idea who the original author of the paper in your hand was.

In this way, collusion and cheating between examiners and candidates can be prevented to the greatest extent.

"That's right, come in!"

"Yes." Diao Hualong agreed, and just about to bring Gao Wen in.

Inside, Xu Yu suddenly shouted, "Zilin, I'll let you in. As for Gao Wen, a scholar who doesn't know how to do anything, it's as if we don't see each other."

These words were already quite rude, Gao Wen's feet froze in the air, he was extremely embarrassed, and he was also annoyed in his heart: This Xu person is really hateful, we have no grudges in the past, and we have no grudges in the present, why do we talk so badly when we meet? Did I borrow your millet and pay you back your chaff?

Diao Hualong was also stunned, shook his head, and said to Gao Wen in a low voice: "Er Zhi, just wait outside, I will report this matter to my mentor, the old man. Don't worry, you can't ignore your business."

Inside, Xu Xuan said coldly: "Zilin, a gentleman is slow in speech but quick in action, a man promises a thousand gold, don't make random promises."

"Yes, yes, my mentor taught me well." Diao Hualong was obviously in awe of his mentor, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

When he entered the room, Gao Wen heard Diao Zhixian say: "Teacher, this is Gao Wen's pleading paper. The students have already investigated this matter clearly, and it is wronged. I also ask the teacher to make the decision for Gao Wen and return his innocence. "

Hearing this, Gao Wen's heart rose to his throat, and he pricked up his ears to listen.

But it was strange to say that he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

I don't know how long it took, but Xu Xuan also read the pleadings.

Diao Hualong's voice came out, with panic in it: "Men, what are you doing?"

Xu Yu said coldly: "It's absurd. People from Xi'an Prefecture came to Pingliang Prefecture to take part in the imperial examination, and they are also criminals who were involved in a bloody case. The old man is not a procurator. What does the local case have to do with me? Diao Hualong, you are an official. You did it so stupidly that you were tricked by a prisoner. It was in vain that I spoke for you at the Ministry of Officials and made up for Zhuang Lang's vacancy. You are really a face for me! Call someone over immediately and arrest the criminal. "

Hearing this, Gao Wen felt as if his heart had fallen into an ice cellar.
