Jingcha is quite similar to the sealing court of the township test, except for Guo Pu, the seven officials in charge of Jingcha, only a group of brocade guards from the Fusi of Beizhen are stationed here.

This is no longer the office of the Ministry of Officials, but a place that only presides over the Jingcha.

The front and back doors were guarded by brocade guards, and even on the edge of the fence stood rows of brocade guards, and no one could enter here unless they were the franchisees.

Although Guo Pu and the other seven people hold the power of life and death of officials today, they cannot leave the yamen of the official department from the time they enter the yamen of the ministry until the end of the presiding over the Jingcha, and they have even been under the supervision of Jinyiwei.

From the moment they entered the door, they almost cut off contact with the outside world, and today's job is to give language tests to officials in the capital. As the seven people sat in the lobby and on both sides in order, Kyocha officially began.

Jingcha started with the six yamen, and the military department was put in the first place, and soon it was the turn of Ning Jiang, the head of the military department.

Ning Jiang was a jinshi in the 37th year of Jiajing, and was assigned to the military department as a trainee director, and he had been serving for four years. Although there were no significant achievements during this period, he was very experienced in business, and he was undoubtedly a very competent military director.

"I've seen Guo Shangshu and all of you!"

Ning Jiang's figure was not tall, but his body was strong, especially his eyes were full of perseverance, and he came to the hall with firm steps, and saluted the officials on both sides.

Chen Liuqing looked at Ning Jiang's appearance well, and he was able to show a state of honor and disgrace at the moment, and he stroked his beard with admiration and nodded lightly.

Guo Pu, who was sitting in the hall, didn't raise his head, and was seriously reading the relevant information of Ningjiang, and asked very plainly: "In May of the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing, but because Li Zhiqing, a Weiqianhu in Tianjin, asked for a hundred sets of armor, you shot and injured him?" ”

"That's because he provoked first, and he didn't have a military department, this move is no different from robbery!" Ning Jiang quickly remembered this past incident and immediately explained.

Guo Pu, the secretary of the ministry, finally raised his head and looked at Ning Jiang, who was sitting in the hall and answering like a stream, and asked without anger: "This official only asks you if this matter is true??" ”

"It's true!" Ning Jiang's brows furrowed slightly, but he still nodded honestly.

Li Zhiqing, a member of the Tianjin Wei Qianhu, did not follow the process to rob the equipment of the military department at all, and he beat Li Zhiqing by preemptively attacking him, thus curbing the arrogance of the other party.

Although there was a reason for the incident, it was also true that he hit someone, so he could only choose to nod.

Chen Liuqing's brows furrowed slightly, and he turned his head to look at Guo Pu, who was sitting in the middle of the hall.

Guo Pu just said lightly: "Then follow the agreement we discussed yesterday!" As he spoke, he didn't care if others objected, and announced directly to Ning Jiang: "Director Ning, your business was not bad during your tenure, but there are also inappropriateness, and you should not use force to solve the problem, so we will criticize and say: be diligent to make up for clumsiness, and be impetuous!" ”

Although Jingcha's comments are also divided into upper, middle, and lower, the inferior are usually not directly stated, so there are: the old and sick, the greedy, the soft, the careless, the impetuous, and the incompetent. Among them, the old and sick are retired, the greedy, the soft, and the unscrupulous are dismissed, and the impetuous and incompetent are demoted to one level and transferred outward.

According to the relevant regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the impetuous person will be demoted to one level for release.

External release has always been avoided by Beijing officials. Even if the imperial court gave the official the preferential treatment of being promoted to the third level, the Beijing official would rather be demoted to stay in the capital than be willing to go to the local office.

At present, Ningjiang is the head of the military department of Zhengliupin, and if it is a normal release, he can directly serve as the prefect of the fourth product in the local government and take charge of the civil affairs of the first government.

It's just that the reality is very cruel, Ning Jiang got a bad evaluation of "impetuousness" in Jingcha, but he wanted to go out and become a magistrate from the sixth grade or the official of the seventh grade.

In contrast, this is undoubtedly a fall from heaven, and the career may be over.

Before Ning Jiang entered the door of the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, he had already predicted this result. After all, the matter is already very obvious, Guo Pu and Xu Jie are dealing with his side together, so it is naturally impossible to give him, a disciple of Wu Shan, a good test language.

Just hearing such a result, I couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment in my heart. He thinks that he is better than other colleagues and is more qualified for this position, but he picked a bone in Guo Pu's eggs.

A cloud of anger surged in Ning Jiang's chest, but he still maintained his composure, and bowed to Guo Pu and the officials in the hall in a regular manner, then turned around and strode away from the yamen of the ministry.

Chen Liuqing looked at Ning Jiang and reacted calmly, and had a good impression of him, but he couldn't help but praise him: "Guo Shangshu, I think this son has a talent, and he will definitely be of great use in the future!" ”

Zhang Yongming looked at Guo Pu with a straight face, knowing that Guo Pu was dissatisfied with this sentence, when he turned his head to Chen Liuqing and said: "Lord Chen, we are evaluating officials, not for the selection of generals in the future!" ”

Chen Liuqing faced this top boss, and immediately felt a great pressure in his heart, and he also took the initiative to retreat and said: "Please forgive your sin, it is the lower official who has lost his word!" ”

Although he felt that Ning Jiang was a talent and had a high military talent, he was able to be calm and calm in case of trouble. It's just that he can't compete with the dignified Zuodu Yushi for the sake of a more appreciative person.

"Mr. Zhang, this is a bad statement! We are not only evaluating officials, but also recruiting talents for the country. If you really have the talent of a pillar, you should be promoted, not suppressed! Dong Fen, the left attendant of the ministry, didn't seem to be a big deal, but he suddenly spoke.

Dong Fen, a person from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Jiajing for 20 years, a scholar of Hanlin, a former official of Hanlin, right Chunfang, right Zhongyun, Guozijian Siye, because of the outstanding words moved to Hanlin Bachelor, plus Taichang Shaoqing, given a quality service.

Compared with Qingzi Si, his holy grace is also quite a lot. When he served as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, he was given a flying fish suit and received a second-grade salary. Transferred to the Ministry of Officials Zuo Shilang in charge of Zhan Affairs, because of the repair of "Fengtian Dazhi" as vice president, last year was given a python suit.

(I made a mistake before, Li Chunfang is the right attendant of the ministry, and the left attendant of the ministry's department is Dong Fen)

Dong Fen is in his early fifties, with beautiful eyebrows and fair skin, a standard Jiangnan person.

The python robe on his body is very eye-catching, and he is also a person who can speak in front of the emperor. Not to mention Zhang Yongming, the imperial history of the left capital, even if it is Guo Pu, the secretary of the ministry, then he has to give him a little thin noodles.
