Chapter 273: What the Officials Saw and Heard (I)

Fan Hongdao stayed in Nancheng for another night, and returned to Beicheng the next day, so that Daddy Li could get ready, and only wait for the next opening day of the inner market to sign and sell books. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At this time, Guozi Supervisor punished Fan Hongdao for "thinking about it behind closed doors" for several days, and Fan Hongdao pondered that the limelight should almost pass, whether to harass Li Siye and send his diploma of release from prison as soon as possible.

Before he could go to the Guozijian to ask questions, a miscellaneous servant from the prison came to the apartment and said to Fan Hongdao: "Mr. Fan is okay? ”

Fan Hongdao was overjoyed, and said to the handyman who reported the news: "Then thank you Master Li, I will go to Guozijian to get my diploma back!"

The handyman stopped Fan Hongdao and said repeatedly: "No need, no need!"

Fan Hongdao asked very strangely: "Why not?"

The handyman hurriedly replied: "Master Li said, let Mr. Fan be sure not to go to the Guozijian again! As for the diploma of history, the little one will bring it to you, and Mr. Fan will not have to run errands." ”

As he spoke, the handyman took out a diploma from his arms and handed it to Fan Hongdao. The so-called diploma, in the Ming Dynasty, refers to a kind of clerical certificate, which is mainly used in the affairs of literati.

Fan Hongdao took his diploma and was speechless. What did he do wrong, so how much did Li Siye not want to show himself up in the country?

The miscellaneous servant also introduced: "There are two copies of the diploma, one for Mr. Fan, and the other has been sent to the Ministry of Officials, and Mr. Fan only needs to take the diploma to the Ministry of Officials to register as a candidate." ”

After thanking and sending the officials away, Fan Hongdao decided to go to the official department tomorrow to log in, anyway, his whereabouts were basically decided, and he completed the procedures as soon as possible. Go back and let the Shen Mansion say hello, and the Nancheng Branch Office will ask you to go over.

However, Fan Hongdao was still a little worried in his heart, because Dr. Xu said to Fan Hongdao that day that Zhao Zhigao, the left waiter of the ministry, was his fellow countryman, and he would let Zhao Shilang block him back.

I don't know if Dr. Xu is joking, Fan Hongdao couldn't help muttering in his heart. If it's a joke, it's fine, if it's not a joke, then maybe there will be a toss.

It is said that this official department is located in the southeast outside the imperial city, and it can be called the first bullish yamen in the foreign dynasty. No matter how majestic you are when you are an official, as long as you enter the gate of the official department, your shoulders must be three points shorter; no matter how domineering your parents and officials are in office, you must also be a grandson when you enter the official department.

The reason is also very simple: This ministry is the yamen responsible for the promotion and transfer of officials, and even the affairs such as assessment and reward are also handled, so how many people can take a stand in front of the officials? Especially those officials below the fourth grade, the future and fate of the officials are often a matter of official documents.

Even though Fan Hongdao often shows no one in his eyes, there is no need to make such a mistake here in the Ministry of Officials. After entering the door, according to the rules, the diploma was verified at the front hall clerk, and then he was instructed to go to the Anthology Division to go through the formalities.

When I arrived at the relevant public room of the Anthology Division, I saw that the official in the room was thirty-six or seventeen years old, with long hair and broad eyebrows. Fan Hongdao didn't dare to look at it more, and respectfully handed over the diploma to explain his intentions.

The official opened his diploma and looked at it carefully, and then threw it back. Fan Hongdao hurriedly held the diploma, very unclear.

Immediately, the official reprimanded Fan Hongdao: "Taixue is a place to educate people, and after the tributary students from all parties enter the school and train, it will take at least one or two years, and at most three or five years before they can become successful." Then you can go out of prison and serve the imperial court!

I have read your diploma this time, but you have not been in the country for more than a month, so how can you go beyond the past? Therefore, if this official wants to send your diploma back, you should go back to study hard, and come back in a year or two!"

Fan Hongdao felt that the official opposite was really painful, and he simply did it too much.

The diploma was issued by Guozijian, that is, Guozijian has recognized his qualifications and proved that he has the ability to go to various yamen. An official of your ministry can just go through the formalities honestly, and at most he can only decide where he goes and where he doesn't, but what reason is there to point fingers and question the internal review work of the Guozijian?

So Fan Hongdao explained patiently: "This is issued by Master Li of Guozijian, and as for whether he is capable or not, Guozijian has naturally reviewed it." And the adults of the Ministry of Officials don't know much about Zaixia, so how can they judge Zaixia?"

However, the officials of the Literature and Anthology Department did not give in: "Since the formalities have to go through the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Officials must take the responsibility of auditing! Otherwise, each yamen has its own selfish intentions, and who will balance it? This official also acts impartially."

Facing this official of the Anthology Division, Fan Hongdao seemed to have a feeling that he had entered the agency in his previous life. Many staff can tell you the high-sounding, fair and selfless truth, and can show an impartial attitude, but things just can't be done, and in the end you have to feel that you are at fault.

Impartiality, how much trouble is in your name, Fan Hongdao sighed in his heart. Now he can only try his best to find another way, Fan Hongdao couldn't help but ask: "Dare to ask Your Excellency's name?"

The official opposite introduced himself and said: "This official is Gu Xiancheng, a member of the Department of Literature and Selection.

It turned out that he was Gu Xiancheng, no wonder it was so difficult to speak! Fan Hongdao thought to himself.

Since the crossing, Fan Hongdao has seen some historical celebrities, and now he is used to this feeling of seeing celebrities, but at this time, Fan Hongdao still can't help but look sideways, because the influence of this Lord Gu before and after his death is a bit huge.

In another time and space, Gu Xiancheng will be the world-famous leader of the Donglin Party in the future, the top "Qingliu", and one of the readers with the most important voice in the Ming Dynasty.

He manipulated public opinion, pointed out the country, judged the characters, and single-handedly promoted the Donglin Party to become the absolute main force in the fierce party struggle in the imperial court. In the middle and late Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, the portal was attacked, the party struggle intensified, and finally everyone fell into the abyss together, and Gu Xiancheng's "credit" was not small.

And the above behaviors were all obtained by Gu Xiancheng as an opposition. Even the name of the Donglin Party comes from the Donglin Academy founded by Gu Xiancheng after he resigned and returned home.

Faced with such a figure, Fan Hongdao scratched his head a little. He had always been worried about being made difficult by Zhao Zhigao, the left attendant of the ministry, but unexpectedly bumped into Gu Xiancheng's hands, although Gu Xiancheng was still an ordinary official at this time, although he was a little famous, he was not a big man.

After Fan Hongdao thought about it, he pleaded: "Actually, there is no matter of principle, let's ask Lord Gu to be accommodating!"

Gu Xiancheng still insisted on his decision and was not moved by Fan Hongdao. "Accommodating? Again, your qualifications are too shallow, your training is insufficient, and now you are not suitable for prison work. ”

Fan Hongdao was angry and accused: "Lord Gu's words, don't you just want to belittle the lack of ability in the subordinates!"
