After Xin Er stepped down as General Wuwei, General Wuwei did not appoint anyone else, and the current "Auxiliary General's Mansion", that is, the former General Wuwei's Mansion, was just a new door plaque.

Xiang Kui was promoted by Xin Er as the "Yumen Protector" and stayed in Dunhuang, and at present, only Wei Shu and Wei Xian father and son are left as the leaders of his guards. Wei Shu and Wei Xian made meritorious contributions to the camp from Xin'er, and they were also promoted, Wei Shu got the rank of captain, and Wei Xian moved from the general to the governor of the department.

It's time to go to Wei Xian for duty today.

Wei Xian is in his twenties, not low, seven feet eight inches long, strong and strong, born noble, with a forehead like a swallow and a neck like a tiger.

When he was young, some scholars were amazed, saying that he was the appearance of "Wanli Hou".

Wei Xian's family was only a small county haoqiang, and when he heard what he said, he laughed it off.

Looking back at the words of the scholar now, it is half reliable.

The Governor of the Ministry is a military attache of the seventh rank.

He has only been with Xin Er for a year, and he has jumped from the white body to here, with him only twenty-fifty-six years old, it can be said that he has a great future, and after ten or twenty years, he dare not say more, and it is always not a problem to rise three or four grades.

"Wanlihou" may not be a play, but it is already a great honor for the Wei family to be a third-grade official.

It is precisely because of this hope that Wei Xian is diligent, not at all as resolute and courageous as he is on the battlefield, and he is cautious and meticulous everywhere.

General Zhang Dao drove to the outside of the general's mansion, and after coming down to state his intentions, Wei Xian was meticulous in the procedures of registration, taking away the sword, and preventing Zhang Daojiang's entourage from entering the palace.

Zhang Daojiang smiled at the corner of his mouth, without impatience, even if his saber was just a look, the scabbard was actually a wooden sword, but he did not explain, after registering, he took the sword with it, and ordered his entourage to wait outside the door, and he did it one by one when Wei Xian ordered.

Why is the Auxiliary General's Mansion so heavily guarded?

It's not because Zhang Daojiang has an old grudge against Xin Er, this procedure is applicable to any visitor; It was not from Xin Er's order, but Yang Chao and Zhang Gui strongly asked Xin Er to do so after listening to Huang Rong's suggestion.

Although this dynasty has not yet assassinated a minister, unlike the previous generation, it must be known that one of the previous Dingxi lords died by assassination. In the current war for many years, Longdi and the martial arts are blazing, the Tang people's light heroes, the Hu people's outlaws, by no means common, in the case of the increasingly acute contradictions between Xin Er and the gate lord clan, his safety issues, naturally need to be paid great attention to.

Although Xin Er didn't approve of this, he couldn't resist Yang Xian and Zhang Gui, so he had to "be good as a stream".

Zhang Dao will enter the mansion, and the officials will lead the way to the outside of the listening hall.

The official reported: "General, General Zhang Dao, the permanent attendant of the kingdom, asks to see you." ”

Zhang Dao will bow in front of the hall.

Soon, the sound of footsteps reached his ears.

A gentle voice sounded: "Why is the waiter here?" ”

General Zhang Dao bowed and replied: "'The maintenance of the machine cannot be stopped, and the regular copywriting should be limited to three days' has been included in the examination course, and the first assessment of the court officials and county officials was conducted a few days ago. The lower officials came to report the results of the assessment. ”

"That's it." Xin Er stood at the door, turned slightly sideways, invited Zhang Daojiang into the hall, and said with a smile, "Chang Shi, please come in." ”

Zhang Dao will promise.

In the hall, the two sat down.

Zhang Daojiang only raised his head and looked at Xin Er head-on.

Xin Er has mainly received three positions today, an auxiliary general, a governor's palace Zuo Changshi, a kingdom squire, three official positions, different grades, and different clothing, because when he was on duty in the governor's mansion, Xin Er wore the official uniform of Changshi, and when he was on duty in the auxiliary general's mansion, he wore the official uniform of three grades. As for the squire of the kingdom, he will only wear his clothes when he is in charge of political affairs.

Zhang Daojiang saw that Xin Er was wearing a martial crown, flat black curtains, when it was spring, wearing blue official clothes, with a green ribbon of 2,000 stones, water claberstone, and a leather belt in the waist, because it was in the hall, there was no tiger head sac, the bag was on the case, and the small silver seal was placed on the side of the bag.

The crown dress is neatly sealed, and the posture of kneeling on the couch is very upright, with a soft smile on the vertical face, revealing an unconcealable heroic spirit.

Zhang Daojiang thought in his heart: "'Residence and Qi and Body' are similar to the days when Jiankang County was guarded in the past. ”

Seeing Xin Er looking at himself with a slight smile, knowing that he was waiting for him to speak, Zhang Daojiang said, "General, 'three years of performance appraisal, three exams to dethrone the Ming Dynasty', dethrone its seclusion, and ascend to its Ming, the training of "Shu Shundian" is also. The appointment of officials in this dynasty, according to the regular system, lasts for six years, and it is not necessary to take the examination three times during the term of office, but to take the examination twice, but it is still in accordance with the old practice, and the examination is once every three years.

"The last time I took the exam was last year, so I don't think I will take it this year.

"However, the officials and officials at all levels are slacking off on official duties, backlog official documents, causing official affairs to stagnate, and the drawbacks of the upper and lower levels are becoming more and more serious.

Xin Er's eyebrows were clear, and he said with a smile: "Shizhong, you are not my subordinate official, you don't have to call yourself a subordinate official." ”

Zhang Daojiang didn't expect Xin Er to interject such a sentence, so he paused and said, "Yes." ”

After a pause, seeing that Xin Er did not say anything more, he continued, "This special examination includes all the commanders of the county, the governors, the three secretaries of the state, and the commanders of all counties, prefectures, prefectures, and armies. Forty-seven of those who have attained middle and above; 'The most', thirteen people. The rest is negative. Qilian is too shou Song Jian is the first in the world; Xianmei County Magistrate Ji Wei is the 'Palace'. ”

"Medium", "most", "negative", "first in the world", "palace", these words are all terms used in the examination.

This dynasty inherited the Qin Dynasty, and the results of the examination were divided into nine grades. The fifth class is "medium". Those above "medium" are qualified; Those below "medium" are unqualified, and those who are not suitable are "negative". "The most" refers to the top three classes, also known as "high rank". "No. 1 in the world", needless to say, the one with the best results. "Temple", meaning after the palace, refers to the worst. Sometimes the last third class is collectively referred to as "palace", but the "Xianmei County Magistrate Ji Wei" mentioned in Zhang Daojiang's words obviously means this person's grades, and he is the last place in this examination.

After speaking, Zhang Dao will take the opportunity of stroking his beard to quietly watch Xin Er's expression.

Xin Er's expression did not move, and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that the Song family has a son, who is famous when he is young, and the green is out of the blue, and the villagers are known as the young phoenix." There is no vanity under the fame. Asked Zhang Daojiang and said, "Is Song Jian just past the age of the weak crown?" ”

Zhang Daojiang replied: "Yes." ”

Xin Er admired for a long time and said: "Neishi Song Gong gave birth to a good son!" In the future, the country's ability is also talented! ”

Song Jian is Song Hong's second son, nicknamed Black Slave.

Zhang Daojiang said in his heart: "This special examination was presided over by Song Fang, and as a result, Song Jian won the first place in the world, and the county magistrate of Xianmei won the penultimate one." Xianmei County is the Tang Muyi of the lord of Xianmei. Looking at these two 'firsts' together, Song Fang's intentions are self-evident, except for promoting his own family on the one hand, and disgusting young people on the other, there will be no others.

Xin Youshu didn't understand this, but he didn't have anything to do and praised Song Jian. In the past in Jiankang, how could I not find that his city is so deep? My uncle taught me right, when I was a talent, I thought I was a high-level talent, but I was just a flying eagle and a dog, and I was just a child! ”

Xin Er asked, "How to reward and punish it?" ”

"General, after all, this is only a special test, not a comprehensive assessment. The pastoral government discussed that after the big exam in the next year, the results of the two times should be combined together, and then rewards and punishments will be made. ”

Xin Er shook his head and said, "Mingbao,...... Can I call your word? ”

The word, friends, and elders call it.

Only those who have a relatively close relationship, or when there is a clear distinction between respect and inferiority, can call each other's words. The relationship between Xin Er and Zhang Daojiang is definitely not intimate, although the official qualities of the two are different, they belong to different systems, and they cannot be called directly distinguished.

Therefore, General Zhang Dao listened to Xin Er's words, and once again pouted, and then replied: "Follow the general's convenience." ”

Xin Er smiled and said kindly: "Mingbao, you won't still hate me, right?" ”

"How dare the lower officials!"

"You don't call yourself a subordinate official."

"Yes. How dare the Dao generals! In the past, there were few Taoist generals, and several generals committed crimes, but today I think about it, and the Taoist generals are like sitting on pins and needles. On that day, the Taoist general almost caused a catastrophe, but the general not only remembered the Taoist general's past, but extended a helping hand to stop the Taoist general. If it weren't for the general, how could the Tao be now! The Taoist not only did not hold a grudge against the general, but also thanked the general for his kindness. This will be from the bottom of my heart! ”

Xin Er's eyes looked at Zhang Daojiang, looked at the sincerity on his face, and didn't know how to answer for a while, and said in his heart: "Obviously, I caused your father and son to go to prison, if you don't know, after hearing what you say, I can't say it, I'm afraid that I will think that I saved you." He laughed and said, "Who is not young and frivolous?" Mingbao, let's not talk about the past! As if jokingly, he said, "As long as you don't hold a grudge against me, I'll be relieved." ”

"The Taoist general only has a heart of gratitude for the general, and has no grudge!"

Xin Er nodded, stopped talking about this topic, picked up what he had just said, and said: "The discussion of the pastoral mansion is good, but in my humble opinion, this special examination is the first assessment of the 'copywriting limited day' class, in order to show the importance of the imperial court, it seems that it is not appropriate to wait until the next year's big examination to talk about it, and it should be rewarded and punished immediately." ”

"How can the general want to reward and punish?"

"As you said, the accumulation of lazy government of officials in our dynasty is deepening, and Song Jian is the first in the world, and he is in urgent need of an example like him to demonstrate that the central government and counties can be promoted to the court; Xianmei County Magistrate Ji Wei is assessed as a palace, and he needs to be severely punished, and after verification, he will be dismissed from his post! ”

Zhang Daojiang thought playfully: "'After verification'? He replied respectfully, "Yes, after the Taoist general returns, he will convey the general's meaning to the pastoral office." ”

"You don't have to tell the shepherd."

Zhang Daojiang was stunned and asked, "What does the general mean by this?" ”

Xin Er smiled and said: "I am lonely in the northwest, and the news from the court has been interrupted for a long time, because although my dynasty is a kingdom, my country's political and military affairs have already taken care of themselves. Since I have taken care of myself, I think that in order for political affairs to be smooth, I should follow the power, and I might as well follow the official system of the imperial court. ”

"Slightly follow the imperial court system?"

Xin Er bowed his head and said, "Exactly." In fact, many of the current official positions in our dynasty are already imitating the imperial court, such as Jia Ziming's law enforcement imperial history, which is the imitation of the imperial history of the court. The history of serving the emperor can be imitated, and of course other duties can also be imitated. Mingbao, are you right? ”

Zhang Daojiang faintly guessed what Xin Er was going to say, and responded: "Yes." ”

Xin Er said: "So, I have written to the court, please imitate the Jiangzuo court, and don't set up a test Cao." ”

Zhang Daojiang said in his heart: "That's right! Said, "Test the merits of Cao? ”

"Originally, according to the regulations of our dynasty, the examination course has its own Cao, and since the establishment of the country, the examination of officials has always been carried out by the other driver of the pastoral government. Don't be the head of the pastoral government, the daily government affairs are already complicated, where is there enough effort to carefully examine the performance of officials? The examination course is about the good and the inferior, which is related to the country and people's livelihood, and has a great stake; Moreover, our country is full of nonsense, and whether officials can be appointed or not is more and more important.

"Therefore, I think it is imperative to test Cao's skills!"

"What the general said is very true. It's just that the chapter system of the national dynasty, the examination of merit belongs to Shangshutai, and it is one of the fifteen Caos of Shangshutai. There is no official office similar to Shangshutai in our country, and the power of Shangshutai is divided into internal history and pastoral government. Dare to ask the general, this test is set up, is it an internal history? Or is it a pastoral house? …… The general shouted that the general did not need to tell the pastoral government, but did he plan to subordinate this Cao to the internal history? ”

Zhang Daojiang said in his mouth, thinking in his heart, "The internal history is Song Hong, the pastoral mansion is Song Fang, if you don't return to the pastoral mansion, you will return to the internal history, is it not the same as the Song family?" Xin You's hard work, isn't it in vain? Or did he plan to assign this Cao to the Governor's Office? If he really intends to set up this Cao in the governor's mansion, he is afraid that it will only arouse monstrous opposition. ”

Xin Er smiled and said: "The king, the king of the government and the people." I foolishly think that this test is appropriate to belong to the palace. ”

Zhang Daojiang couldn't help but praise in his heart, and thought: "If this Cao is included in the palace, the second Song Dynasty is dissatisfied, and there is nothing to say!" Could it be that they still dare to compete with the king for power? He said, "The general is true. ”

"Cao Peng, who is taking the merit test, needs to be discussed by the DPRK and China. In the above letter, I suggested the establishment of two members of Cao Shi, and I have promoted Qing as the right Cao Shi. ”

"The general is loved, and the Taoist general is terrified!" Zhang Dao turned the thoughts in his mind, but he didn't realize that Xin Er had not only called him the word, but also called out the extremely intimate title of "Qing", he hesitated for a moment, and said, "The establishment of the examination of merit Cao is indeed needed by the country." It's just that the generals, the princes of the DPRK and the central government, will agree? ”

Xin Er said with a smile: "Don't say it first, Mingbao, do you want to take up this position?" ”
