  Chapter 80 A character scroll is optimistic, change

  After Feng Ziying left, Qiao Yingjia recruited his own staff to talk in detail.

   "Dong Weng is very optimistic about this son?" Stroking a little goatee, the old man is also observing his own Dong Weng.

  After so many years, he still rarely sees his Dong Weng recommending anyone.

  He also knows a little about the situation of Qingtan Academy. Many people from various departments of the Metropolitan Procuratorate come from Qingtan Academy.

Although Dong Weng did not come from Qingtan Academy, he has very close contacts with the current head and head of Qingtan Academy. Head Qi Yongtai is from the same family as Qiao Yingjia. Zhen was a Jinshi one class later than Qiao Yingjia. He also served as a Shuji scholar and a censor in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

It stands to reason that people like Feng Ziying who have achieved martial arts are definitely not suitable to enter Qingtan Academy. The students there usually choose the northern scholars from poor and clean families. After being in charge of the academy, he began to allow southern scholars to enter.

"Sir, you know that I have an audience with the emperor today. The emperor asked about the Linqing civil uprising. I am very pleased with the courageous responsibility of the Water Transport Yamen, and asked many details in detail." This time was the first special summoning. Last year I met with Li Sancai and other people from the Ministry of Industry, but this time it was a private interview. I have some feelings that the emperor and the Supreme Emperor have different requirements for his subjects. "

   "Oh? Why did Dong Weng say that?" The old man also became more cautious.

"Since the thirty-fifth year of Yuanxi, the Supreme Emperor summoned his ministers and workers less and less, and all orders were issued to the six departments of the cabinet, and there were few rejections in the six departments. However, the six departments and the provinces became more and more slack in government, and the regulation of the court became increasingly weak. Today The emperor said that if Cao Bing didn’t send troops decisively, and if he had to wait until Shandong’s Third Division went to the Ministry of War to make an agreement, then there might be troublesome bandits, and even Dongchang Mansion and even Jinan Mansion would be taken down.”

  Qiao Yingjia's words shocked the old man, and said quickly: "Could it be that the emperor is dealing with Dong Weng and Mr. Li Cao..."

"I'm afraid I heard something, but as an inspector, I am in parallel with the governor. This is a custom. If I just let the governor do things, it is not a violation of the custom. Once the governor goes alone, who can make it?" Qiao Yingjia Slowly said: "I also expressed my worries to the emperor, but the emperor didn't take it seriously. He mentioned that the affairs of water transportation are complicated and important, and they must be handled carefully without delay,..."

  The old man also nodded, how could the court regulations be easily changed? But if the emperor is dissatisfied with the situation, this is another problem.

   "Na Dongweng thinks..."

"What the emperor said is also true. At present, from the provinces to the state capitals, it is prevalent to push back against the superiors and delay the subordinates. The six ministries of the cabinet and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are even more unbearable. I'm so angry, I'm afraid it's because the emperor sees it, so I have such a view..."

  Qiao Yingjia was both happy and worried.

The joy is that this time the emperor made an extraordinary reward. Li Sancai not only served as the governor of the river, but also was promoted from the censor of the right capital to the censor of the right deputy capital. Foundation.

Although he has not made any other changes this time, he has already realized that he may not be the censor of the cavalry for a long time. Before March, that is, the water transportation will end this year, he may have to move to the right. don't know.

  But judging from the emperor's attitude towards his conversation this time, I'm afraid there will be a special encounter.

   As for the biggest beneficiary, Chen Jingxuan was even more overjoyed. It is said that the Ministry of War intends to let him go out of the town of Ji Town as the chief soldier.

  Although the chief soldier of Jizhen and the chief soldier of Water Transport are both chief military officers, even in the same way, they are not the same in terms of real power status.

"Dong Weng meant that the emperor might change his procrastination and fatigue after Yuji, but Dong Weng hadn't thought about it. I'm afraid this kind of atmosphere might not be formed in a day or two. Waiting for habits, how difficult is it to make them change?"

  The old man is very accurate about the general atmosphere of the court. Over the years, Qiao Yingjia has not hidden anything from him, so he is frank about many things.

   "Unless the emperor can control the universe and make a big move on the positions of the cabinet, the six ministries, and even the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it will be difficult to last, and it will even damage the emperor's prestige in turn, and may even..."

  The old man didn't go on.

Qiao Yingjia nodded, "I'm just worried about this situation, but I think that with the emperor's character, I'm afraid he won't act hastily. This time, he praised Li Sancai, me, and Chen Jingxuan for their performance in the Linqing civil uprising. I am afraid that it is intentional to express an attitude to the people in the court, and we will see how the people in the court react."

   "But Dong Weng thinks that the emperor has such an attitude, what will the result be? What about Dong Weng?" The old man followed closely and asked.

  Qiao Yingjia smiled, "Haven't you already seen it, sir? I have already recommended this son to study in Qingtan Academy."

  The old man also laughed, it seems that this Dong Weng has made up his mind, but this road may not be smooth, there may be ups and downs, but he believes that this Dong Weng can also predict these.

  ********

  After getting the recommendation letter from Qiao Yingjia, Feng Ziying felt more at ease.

Among the four major academies in Shuntian Mansion, the Fucui Academy in Daxing is a little farther away, and it is mainly composed of military students from Weizhen. The three academies in Wanping are obviously more suitable for scholars from Beizhili and even the northern provinces .

  If you want to compare the teaching quality and style of study of these academies, Qingtan Academy and Chongzheng Academy are undoubtedly better.

  But Chongzheng Academy is already relatively difficult to enter, and Qingtan Academy is even more difficult.

To enter the academy, you need to take an exam first. After passing the exam, you can become a preparatory student. After a month of preparatory study, there is another formal exam. Only after you pass the exam can you become a formal student. Once you become an academy student, you must strictly abide by the rules and disciplines of the academy .

  Compared to Chongzheng Academy and Tonghui Academy's superior schooling conditions, Qingtan Academy is more simple. Not only do students not have much subsidies, but they also need to do some farm work by themselves to help the academy's expenses.

   It is not that there are no donations from merchants or gentry, but Qingtan Academy has very strict requirements. Non-Qingtan Academy students are not allowed to accept donations, nor do they accept donations from external merchants.

  Because of this, Qingtan Academy is struggling to run a school, but the difficult conditions for running a school are more likely to unite the hearts of students and strengthen their aspirations.

  Because of this, Qingtan Academy was Feng Ziying's first choice when choosing an academy, followed by Chongzheng Academy and Tonghui Academy.

   But it is not easy to enter Qingtan Academy.

  If you are a poor scholar, it is relatively easy for you to get a recommendation letter from a famous scholar in your province, but if you are a son of an official gentry, it is not easy.

   Those scholars also cherish feathers very much. If they were not really excellent scholars, they would not write this letter of recommendation.

  Qiao Yingjia took the initiative to write this recommendation letter for herself this time, even Feng Ziying didn't expect it.

  He realized that there must be something different inside, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, but it was a good thing anyway, and he would not give up.
