Chapter 480: The Upper Dynasty
This is not like the imperial examination, where the reader learns the Four Books and the Five Classics, and it is really like looking for some special innovative talents, which is really like looking for a needle in a haystack. At this time, unlike modern people who have a sense of innovation, all those who have technology are workers, and the craftsmen have a low status, most of them are mixed to support their families, and few people think about how to reform and how to innovate technology. And those who have read books do not disdain this kind of lowly work, because the level of education that can really work is low, and many people don't even know a few words.
It is also because of this that Liang Ruoyu makes up for the preciousness even more, this person not only has splendid articles, quick thinking, but also a few good skills, and is the personal disciple of the head of Qianjimen, but he is the most suitable candidate.
With his help, the preparation of the bureau was quite smooth, and they had already been booked, and the imperial court ordered all prefectures and counties to post notices and recruit talents, and presumably a large number of people would pour into Kyoto in two months to participate in the selection competition.
Guo Wenying has always been good at making the best use of things, and seeing that Deng Jiucheng didn't have much to do in the Ministry of Works, he pulled him over to help Liang Ruoyu.
Deng Jiucheng was so easy to have a few days of leisure, he was not very happy, and smacked his lips: "I said Wenying, why don't you think of me for good things, and when you come to work, you think of me all?"
Guo Wenying said with a smile: "Isn't this a capable person who works hard? Who made Brother Deng, you are a great talent, who will you find if you don't look for you?"
He felt comfortable wearing this high hat, and he didn't care about her anymore, anyway, he listened to her by himself, and let him see what he wanted.
Guo Wenying arranged everything, and when she saw that it was not early, she went home. Tomorrow she has to get up in the morning to go to court, and she can't sleep too late.
However, she has always been a night owl, she went to bed early and couldn't fall asleep in bed, and she was worried about the affairs of the Firearms Bureau, so she simply got up and drew several sketches, approved a few official documents, and after staying up until midnight, she didn't have to sleep at all, and put away the things that were ready to go to court.
Since she was promoted to the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, she has been allowed to go to the court to discuss politics. It's just that she was stumped by the trivial matters of the Ministry of Industry for a while, and although she received the seal letter in the Ministry of Officials, she did not go to the court early.
The first time I went to the court, I wanted to be decent, and before the time came, I changed into official clothes and ordered people to prepare a sedan chair.
Usually she is used to making cars when she goes out, but as a courtier, the court must have its own rules, civil officials sit in sedan chairs, military attaches ride horses, and this has always been the case. She herself is a special existence, and it is not good to be special in this matter.
Rao is like this, when her palanquin stopped at the gate of the Wu Dynasty, it still attracted many eyes to visit, and everyone whispered, talking about the first woman in the history of the Southern Qi Dynasty.
"Alas, Brother Dong Ren, do you say that this woman can also go to court?"
"This woman can be an official, why can't she go to court?"
"yes, I don't know what that person thinks, it's really bad luck to get a woman to stand with us. β
"Shhhh β
Guo Wenying was slightly exposed, so loud, how could she not hear it? But if she heard it, she could only pretend that she didn't hear it, and she heard too much gossip these days, so she didn't feel anything. What does it have to do with them when she lives her life and when she goes to her court?
At this moment, three minutes have passed, and there is still some time before the hour, and you can't stand on the road all the time to let people look at it like this.
The noon gate has two court rooms in the east and west, which are located in the north of the Shinto tablet pavilion and are built facing each other on both sides of the Shinto. Single-eaves hard mountain top, five rooms wide, with front porch, yellow glazed tile roof. They are all places where officials go up to the court to rest. Generally, civilian officials are on the left, and military attaches are on the right.
Guo Wenying and military attachΓ©s are familiar with each other, but most of the civil officials are out of place, officials can't stand on the Shinto for too long, she hesitated for a moment whether to enter the left or right room.
In the end, she gritted her teeth, it was a blessing or a curse, it was a disaster that could not be avoided, since she was an official, why should she be afraid of the eyes of others, just rest assured and bold. She turned around and entered the court room on the left where the civil servants were resting, and there were people sitting, some standing, and some gathered in groups to chat.
This one said: "Brother Nian, I heard that a new restaurant has opened outside Xizhimen, I heard that it tastes good, let's try it another day?"
"Okay, let's try. β
"Brother Li Nian, there is a good singing team in Dongxiang Mansion. β
"Alas, yes, I've heard it, it's so beautiful, it's so beautiful, it's only a pinch. β
This benevolent brother was gesturing, and suddenly raised his eyes and saw a woman in a scarlet official robe walking in, if it weren't for the bulging chest, at first glance it really couldn't be seen as a woman, but that little face was really delicate and good-looking, much more beautiful than that Danjiao.
He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Who are you?"
For a while, no matter who was talking, smoking, or drinking tea in the room, everyone's eyes focused on Guo Wenying.
Guo Wenying hugged her fists slightly, "Guo Wenying, the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, has seen all the adults. β
The officials looked shocked, and the whole room blew up a few words. I have heard that the emperor has appointed a woman as an official, but I have not seen many of them, and I will stop here today, not to mention anything else, but this posture is definitely first-class.
There have long been rumors outside that although Guo Wenying is married, she secretly has a relationship with the emperor, no wonder the emperor protects her in every way, she looks like this, and it is also the rarest kind of man.
Although she was ashamed of her in her heart, few people dared to really yell at her to get out, and those who would come to the scene even greeted her, "Ah, Lord Guo, look up for a long time." β
Some pretended to be affectionate, "It's not a good day today, it's a cloudy day, can the adults come smoothly this way?" I don't know what it has to do with the cloudy day and whether it goes well or not, anyway, I don't have anything to say.
There are also those who are upright, they can't get used to this, they stand aside with a cold face, and stare at Guo Wenying with cold eyes from time to time, which is quite unkind.
There is a Beijing official named Li Yunhe in the court, who served as the imperial historian in the court, and usually offended many people because of his straightforward temperament and likes to go straight. He has always been unaccustomed to flattery, and he is even more unaccustomed to a woman like Guo Wenying as an official, or an official position mixed by improper relationships.
At this moment, seeing that some officials were rushing to slap Guo Wenying, he couldn't help but smile coldly, "What a sacred place is this courtroom, and it actually allows women to be officials? β
Guo Wenying said with a smile: "Dare to ask this adult, what is the code of ethics?"
Li Yunhe said coldly: "That is naturally the Three Platforms and Five Constants. β
"Then what are the three platforms and five constants?"
He snorted, "The three guidelines are the monarch as the minister, the father as the son, the husband as the wife, and the five constants are benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith." β
Guo Wenying praised: "My lord is really very knowledgeable, but are you and I the monarch?"
