Xiangye

Chapter 177

Du Shenghui of Hancheng, Du Zhixian, stood out in front of all the examiners today, even though he was instructed by Wang Zhi, Shangshu of the Department of Teachers and Officials, his temperament was also tempered extremely calmly.Knowing that even though I have this relationship with a mentor, I will be promoted much faster than ordinary people in the future.But because of this, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me in this world. If one is wrong, I am afraid that someone with a heart will come to make trouble, but I have to be careful when doing things.

However, he is a young man after all, and he is still very proud.

After getting out of the lottery from the Gongyuan, he returned to his residence, thinking of the situation just now, thinking of his mentor who was far away in the capital, but felt a little guilty in his heart.I couldn't help grinding the ink, and wrote today's situation in the letter.He also wrote down what Xu Zhen had done recently, and planned to send someone to Beijing.

Du Shenghui was quite disapproving of the storms caused by envoy Xu Qin, thinking that this man was a very successful person.This is just an ordinary case, but Yuan Xinyun corrupted Ma Zheng's money, and it is enough to get him convicted.But Master Xu wants to fight Gao Linghan, isn't that showing off?
Of course, he just wrote a few words casually on this matter.In the letter, Du Shenghui reviewed his self-satisfaction just now, and his mental journey before and after, and said that he also asked his mentor to punish Yunyun.

Just as I was writing happily, two elders followed me in: "The county lord, my subordinates have something important to report. The county lord can save me no matter what."

Du Zhixian put down his pen and frowned: "What's the matter, are you talking so urgently? Seeing you panicking, the sky is falling?"

After he became a Jinshi before, he has been observing politics in the ministry, learning how to govern.In fact, they have no concept of how to govern the place.Therefore, when I went to Hancheng to serve as the county magistrate, I only brought my classmate Lin Shiye with me. I thought that relying on myself, a mere hundred lihou would naturally go on doing it smoothly. revenge.

But after arriving in Hancheng, I realized that officials are as clear as water and officials are as slippery as oil.The sixth room and the third class are not my own people, so it is too easy to isolate myself from internal and external news and treat myself as a decoration.In fact, he also took some losses.

Thinking about it like this, I simply wrote a letter and went back to my hometown, and recruited some children of relatives and classmates to fully serve as staff, long-term followers, and book offices in the yamen.

Sure enough, it was my own people who were more caring. In the past half a year, relying on this group of people, I finally managed the affairs in the yamen smoothly.

The two people who came in said that they were all from their mother's family, and they were relatives of themselves.He is also literate, so he puts it by his side to take care of his own food and daily life, and he is regarded as a confidant.

The two attendants glanced at each other and exchanged glances.One of them said: "My lord, since you entered the county yamen, the young ones have been doing things for the county lord, and you know a lot of acquaintances. Now they know that you are a fellow examiner for the Shaanxi Provincial Examination, so they come to the door and say It's just in this year's examination room, how can we refute his face. We have the courage to collect the money, but because of your majesty, we have never dared to report... I hope the elder will save us."

Hearing this, Du Shenghui was shocked, and shouted: "You bastard, hurry up and return the gift. I have been blessed by the Holy Grace to recruit scholars for the country, and I will never cheat. Whoever dares to corrupt the law, I will resign immediately."

Just kidding, I am Du Shenghui, the favorite student of Wang Laoshangshu.What kind of teacher is he, an old man, a moral gentleman admired by everyone, and a model of scholars in the world.How important is the national talent ceremony, how can it be messed up.If there was a mistake, wouldn't it be to discredit the old man?
Immediately, he became angry, shouted and cursed, and drove the two out.

Du Zhixian has been immersed in the big dye vat of officialdom for many years, especially on a big stage like the capital city, so he is not too pedantic and not sticky, and people know how to adapt.However, he came to Shaanxi this time for the sake of qualifications, support, and political achievements.

Compared with his own future, a mere amount of money is nothing, he still doesn't like it!

After writing the letter, another hour passed, and the long followers came over to pester him again.There were more people coming this time, six of them in total, and they all wiped their tears and said, "Your Majesty, the little people also respect you as a master of Qingtian. However, ordinary officials in this dynasty have several opportunities to be examiners in their lives. It's not bad once. This is the only chance to give a favor. The little ones are ordinary people, if you can use your Dongfeng to send a move, it will be honorable."

"My lord, the money has already been collected, how can I get it back, isn't this offending people? But please be merciful, let me wait a while, and let me wait."

"The county magistrate is high above the yamen, but if there is something to do in the county, we have to do it with all our heart, and say nothing. To be honest, not all the people below must obey the orders of the yamen. If you really ignore us, you won’t be able to do many things well. It’s all about giving each other face, if you can’t say it well this time, how can we handle things in the future?”

Speaking of sadness, the six long followers all wiped away tears.

Hearing this, Du Shenghui felt tempted.Yes, the imperial power does not come down to the county.The decrees of the imperial court can only be issued at the county government level. If they want to be implemented in detail, they have to be carried out by the gentry below.If the people below have two hearts with the yamen, it will be embarrassing for me, the county magistrate, to do so.At the most terrible time, once they turned their backs on him, without filial piety, he would be a clean and honest official with no money.At that time, I'm afraid they won't even be able to pay the government servants for their work and food.

However, thinking of how important it was to cheat in the imperial examination, Du Zhixian still refused to agree to do this joint, and drove the six people out again, bowed his head and continued to write letters to Wang Zhi.

After being disturbed by the long-term attendants, my mind suddenly became confused, but I couldn't write this letter no matter what.

Annoyed, one person walked in: "Xianzun."

Du Shenghui was furious, and turned his head suddenly: "Damn villain... Oh, so it's Brother Lin Nian."

It was his classmate and good friend who came, Mr. Lin who was working as a staff member in the yamen.

Master Lin chuckled: "The proprietor will soon be a fellow examiner in the Tribute Academy. This is such a happy event. Why are there dark clouds all over your face?"

"Why else, you must know that they are all followers of my fellow countrymen, and they are all useless." Speaking of this, Du Shenghui suddenly raised his vigilance: "Brother Nian, you will also collect money. Lobbyist?"

"The proprietor is really right." Master Lin did not deny it, and nodded with a smile: "Not only did I collect the money, but I also made a big deal for the proprietor on my own initiative."

"You, you, you!" Du Zhixian pointed at Master Lin, too angry to speak.

"Proprietor... Hey, Brother Du Nian, don't be in a hurry, just listen to me." Master Lin said: "I won't tell you more about the human relations of the squire. You have to help. The proprietor can gain a foothold in Hancheng, and this person has contributed a lot. If you don’t help him, you will lose face. Also, if you want to be a clean official, the subordinates below will be cold-hearted. How to maintain it. If the government affairs are really messed up, wouldn’t it disappoint Zukazai?”

He comforted Du Shenghui again and said, "Master County, in every township examination, any fellow examiner will send out a favor. This is an undisclosed secret. However, everyone has their own limits, and only one will be taken."

Du Shenghui said angrily: "Although each person only takes one, but I only take fifty Juren this time in Shaanxi. Eighteen house masters, that is, eighteen people's relationships, almost account for [-]% of them. In this way, what do poor people do?" Thinking about it, isn't this township examination going to be a bastard?"

Master Lin laughed: "Not everyone wants to give favors, they need a quota. Some prefectures, states, and counties don't have a single student, so even if they want to give favors, they can't. Don't worry, Brother Nian."

When Du Shenghui heard him talk about his mentor, his heart skipped a beat.That's right, if I don't give face to my followers, these bastards will not work hard in the future, and the yamen will not be in a mess. If there is something wrong, how can I go to see my mentor who has ardent hopes for me.

After a long silence, Du Zhixian sighed, and only picked up the teacup and drank it in small sips.I saw his hands trembling slightly, obviously extremely angry.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Master Lin knew that the magistrate had already acquiesced, so he said: "Master Xian, we are born in this world, but our generation does not do things that please us!"

Du Shenghui: "Forget it, it's up to you, first report the genealogy of the related households, there can't be too many people, and you have to deal with this favor. By the way, there don't seem to be many candidates in our county. Is it Shi Xianzhu and Shilin students?"

Master Lin said with a smile: "Master Lin, how much money is there for Shi Lansheng, but it's not him. Don't worry, there is only one person, and there is not much movement. This person is not an outsider. You come to Hancheng to work in Hancheng, the county lord. He has contributed a lot, and he should support others out of emotion and reason.”

"There is only one person, and he contributes a lot?" Du Zhixian asked, "Who is it?"

Master Lin: "It's Huang Wei Huang Zhubo from the lock hall."

Du Zhixian was surprised and said: "Huang Wei Suoting actually came to Xi'an to take the provincial examination. I thought he was dealing with Gao Wen's carjacking case in a reasonable way? He... By the way, he also has a reputation as a scholar. That's right, the imperial examination is the right way. "

Master Lin also sighed in his heart, this Duzhi County celebrity style does not like vulgar things.All the affairs in the yamen are entrusted to the staff and the second official.No wonder the long-term follower made a fuss just now, so he had no choice but to agree.Without those people, he, the county magistrate, would not be able to continue.How important it is for Huang Wei Suoting to participate in the provincial examination, he, the chief official of Zhengyin, knows nothing about it.

After Du Shenghui came to Hancheng to be the magistrate, Huang Wei put in a lot of effort, so he nodded: "If it was him, I would remember his affection."

Master Lin immediately took a step forward and said in a low voice: "When I met Huang Zhubo before, I already discussed with him to leave joints in the test paper."

"Joints, what joints?" Du Shenghui asked.

Mr. Lin said: "Master Huang said that when he enters the examination room to make papers, he will use more words? If the magistrate sees that in a test paper, when the question sentences should be used at the end of the sentence, there is a word, that is gone."
