Chapter 150 Who Takes Them Seriously

Yes, the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty had been gradually perfected by this time, especially the two passes of the local upper court examination and the rural examination.

Under normal circumstances, the number of places in the township examinations in each province is different, which is different from the four to five thousand talents from each field in Jiangnan provinces pouring into the examination room.For example, in a culturally and educationally backward area like Shaanxi, the number of scholars who can take the exam is between three and four thousand. It seems a lot, but it is actually not enough.

The reason is very simple, the township examination is held every three years, but the college examination is taken twice every three years, each time it can produce fifty talents, and after decades, it is thousands of talents.And there are more than a dozen state capitals in a province, which means that there are tens of thousands of people who are eligible to take the provincial examination.In this way, the question arises, it is worth considering who can enter the examination room and who cannot.

Generally speaking, scholars with good grades will be selected into government schools after passing the examination for scholar.Those with excellent qualifications in the local examinations will be considered for officials and scholars, and those who are not enough will be selected from among folk scholars through examinations by officials and scholars.In other words, as long as you enter a government school, half a foot is considered to have stepped into the provincial examination room.As a result, there have been strange incidents of rich people buying places in government schools and getting surnames on the list.

Of course, officials and students take exams every year.Those who fail the examination will be expelled from the government school.

Therefore, if Huang Wei wants to get a place in the provincial examination, he must first go through the school and government office.

Although Yuan Xinyun has great power, he still can't touch the academic and political yamen.

There are so-called three divisions in the place where the dynasty passed, that is to say, the civil affairs of a lifetime are under the control of the procuratorial envoy, the military is under the command of the capital, and the criminal law is under the supervision of the procuratorate.

In fact, the Metropolitan Command seems to have little power.Therefore, there are three sayings, that is: the chief executive envoys the vassal, the inspector envoys the standard, and the school of politics and learning.

The chief officials of the three stations are all officials of the third rank, and important provinces such as the northern and southern Zhili are from the second rank, restricting each other, and dislike each other.

The officials of the Xuezheng Yamen are all pure and clear, how could they buy a small account for criminal affairs.It can be seen that there must be another big man behind Yuan Xinyun, at least a nobleman from the third rank.

If such a person is annoyed by Huang Wei, it would be a simple matter to get rid of himself.Fortunately, that person chose a deal and sealed Huang Wei's mouth with benefits.

Thinking of this, Huang Wei yelled lucky, but at the same time broke into a cold sweat for himself: This is the pursuit of wealth and wealth, if you don't fight once in your life, how can you become the top person?

Yes, on the surface, it seems that he is only qualified for the exam and can receive the chief examiner. It seems that he has not received any promises, but Huang Wei already knows that all the roads have been paved by the person behind him, and the next step is to It depends on his own means.

In fact, there are 20 most important people in the rural examination in Shaanxi Province, the principal and deputy chief examiners and the [-]th room inner curtain officer.After entering the examination room and answering the papers, the outer curtain officer must first paste the papers, and then re-transcribe the questions written by the candidates, and then send them to the inner curtain officer for marking.

The [-]th room examiner felt that your papers were done well, so he recommended you to the chief and deputy chief examiners to rank.

Even if you want to buy joints, it is an impossible task to buy these 20 people in one go.

So, this is not how it works.The best way is to observe Li Jijiu being invited by Shaanxi gentry officials during this period of time, and try to figure out the examiner's thinking about the question.In addition, send some money to Mr. Li's long-term follower, and ask them to give a joint.

For this reason, Huang Wei had already exchanged several hundred taels of gold in advance, and hired a few old scholars who were good at answering questions, and secretly made preparations.

Sure enough, on the day the chief examiner Li Zhen entered Liangma Kua Street in Xi'an, he was notified by the chief envoy to accompany him.

Hearing this news, Huang Wei already understood that Yuan Xinyun had gone through the route of Buzhengshisi, and his behind-the-scenes boss was someone inside.Either the left or right political envoy is the left and right participating in politics.It's just that he has no way of knowing who this person is.

The person who contacted Huang Wei in the middle was Gao Bu Zhengshi's teacher. When he met the most senior official in the province, Huang Wei naturally flattered him, intending to make a familiar face in front of Gao Linghan.Fang Cai was even more impulsive, so he went up to fan Mr. Gao, but was buried by the master.

After brightening Ma Kua Street, there are still more than ten days before the examination room for entering the country.In the next period of time, Chief Examiner Li will attend many banquets, Huang Wei will naturally follow behind non-stop, to see if he can get some news from the Chief Examiner.

Back at the residence, Huang Wei thought for a while, not to mention the matter of snooping, the key is that the long follower next to chief examiner Li also had to go to do some sorting, just as he was thinking about it, a confidant ran in and whispered, "I want to report to the third master , Gao Wen has already entered the Criminal Prosecution Division."

"Ah, is it Gao Wen's interrogation today?" Huang Weihuo stood up.

"Yes, today is Gao Wen's first court appearance. This thief surnamed Gao did not know where he came from, and he even attached himself to Jin Yiwei. He has been protected by Jin Yi Qianhu for a while. They were all kicked out by Jin Yiwei, and people died. Now, it is difficult for the two yamen to turn their faces. However, it is not a solution for the prisoner to always be pinned by Jin Yiwei. The case cannot be delayed like this. Jin Yiwei also has no choice. Only then did he agree to hand over Gao Wen."

"Okay, as long as the thief enters the Judiciary, it's fine. Once he enters, don't even think about coming out." Huang Wei was very excited.

The confidant said worriedly: "Third Master, Jin Yiwei is not easy to deal with, I'm afraid that there is nothing he can do if he is brought up to the criminal court." He sighed and said: "I never thought that such a tall fool would pay attention to getting to know Jin Yiwei? "

"Yeah, it's really unexpected. What kind of trick did he use... Money, yes, yes, yes. I heard that Gao Wen's thief made a lot of money writing books, and he can still spend a few thousand taels. The factory guards are greedy, so naturally they can't see money. But don't worry." Huang Wei sneered: "If in the past, everyone would have been scared into a cold sweat when they heard the word "Jin Yiwei". But now... their head of Jin Yiwei They were all beaten to death, who would take them seriously?"

The leader of Jinyiwei mentioned by Huang Wei is Ma Shun, the commander of Jinyiwei, who was beaten to death by the civil servants in the court last year.

The thing is like this, after the change of the Tumu Fortress, the Supreme Emperor was captured alive by the Wala people.In order to stabilize the overall situation, King Zhu Qiyu, who is now the emperor of Jingtai, supervises the country.The ministers shifted the responsibility for this battle to Wang Zhen, the personal eunuch of the Supreme Emperor, and stormed the Meridian Gate.

Emperor Jingtai hesitated, Zhu Qiyu was able to be captured in Ming Yingzong, the country was in chaos and the overall situation was stabilized, and he organized an army to defeat Yexian's army in the capital. He was also considered a shrewd and promising king in the Ming Dynasty.At least, his decisiveness in a critical juncture is not inferior to that of Taizu and Chengzu.Naturally, he knew that Wang Zhen wasn't entirely responsible for the civil war.

What's more, today's officials are excited and aggressive, if I fulfill their wishes, everyone will be happy.But in this way, what is his prestige, and how to govern the country in the future, wouldn't the monarchy be restricted by the civil official group?
As an emperor, Zhu Qiyu naturally starts from politics when considering issues.On the surface, this matter does not seem to be a big deal, but it is hard to guarantee that it is not a test of the civil servants group.It was a strong political signal that there was no edict to attack the palace ban, and the emperor was also furious.So he ordered: "All officials will leave the palace for the time being and wait for orders. This matter will be discussed later."

The emperor's attitude angered the civil officials. At this time, the commander of Jinyiwei made Ma Shun in charge of guarding the palace, and brought troops to stop the officials.He used to belong to Wang Zhen, but now he has changed to the emperor, seeing all the officials pointing the finger at Wang Zhen, he was afraid of being implicated.He also wanted to show his loyalty in front of the new emperor, relying on the emperor's decree, he reprimanded the officials and told them to go out immediately.

This time it was a hornet's nest. Wang Hong was short-tempered during the Hu Ke incident. Seeing that Wang Zhen was dead, Ma Shun dared to be so arrogant, he couldn't help feeling angry, rushed forward, grabbed Ma Shun's hair, and He hit Ma Shun on the head and face with the chao wat in his hand, and bit off a piece of meat from Ma Shun's face with his mouth.

When Wang Hong made a move, all the ministers immediately swarmed up and surrounded Ma Shun, punching and kicking him.

It's a pity that when people talk about Jin Yiwei, they think they are people with high martial arts skills.However, the real high-ranking factory guards are actually civilian managers in the final analysis.Although Ma Shun was quite powerful, he was just an ordinary person, and was soon beaten to death by officials.

After killing Ma Shun, the officials continued to attack the palace ban.This time Zhu Qiyu was completely frightened, and he ran straight to the forbidden center, but unfortunately he was stopped by Yu Qian in the end.

He had no choice but to order Wang Zhenman's family to be executed, which calmed down the political turmoil.

On the surface, this incident seemed to be nothing more than an outraged hundred officials demanding that Wang Zhen be punished, but at its root it was a confrontation between the monarchy and the civil official group.The final result was that Zhu Qiyu was completely defeated, and the power of the civil official group was greatly expanded.

The power of the monarchy is not good, and the guard system, the symbol of imperial power, is also in a state of failure.

If it was in the Yongle period, when the world mentioned Jinyiwei, they would definitely be trembling and sweating profusely. As for now, who takes them seriously?
Moreover, because in the early years, the spy agencies such as factory guards were directly responsible to the emperor, and could bypass the judicial process to do things. In addition, the personnel inside were mixed, so it was inevitable that they did many things that angered people. It can be said that it has aroused public outrage.Today, it is politically correct to fight against factory guards, and there are many ways to help.

A small family of thousands of brocade clothes is nothing compared to the matter of being brought up to the criminal department.

"Yes, yes, the third master is right."

At this time, another confidant came in and said: "Third Master, Mr. Ma, the chief envoy, asked someone to bring a message, saying that Master Li is going to have a banquet in Beilin today, please come and serve him."

Huang Wei: "Okay, very good. My master will be very busy in the next few days, so please cheer me up."

Based on his observations, Li Zhen, the Guozijian sacrificial wine, was so old that he was completely in a coma.I have been at the bottom all my life, and I have never seen anyone. It is not difficult to find some problems from that bad old man.

Considering that he needs to wake up at night, Huang Wei is middle-aged after all, so he lacks energy, so he is going to stare for a while and get back to sleep.Another person ran in in a panic: "Third Master, the Criminal Commissioner sent you over to question the old man."

Huang Wei: "Deputy Commissioner... What did he ask me to do?"

"Responding to the words of the master, it is said that the Criminal Prosecution Division is investigating Gao Wen's case, and asked you to come and testify."

"It's none of my business to ask me to testify in the past?" Huang Wei was a little confused, and thought: What the hell is Yuan Xinyun doing? He is about to do the high essay, just take it down. Why do you still involve me? Isn't this superfluous? ?

Suddenly, he felt uneasy.
