Chapter 143: The Annunciation
The official court, in charge of the Wenchen Jing Dynasty officials below the assessment of merits, the rank of the knight, the note, as one of the two chief officials of the Tongzhiyuan Chu Ji, is a high authority, and he is naturally extremely busy on weekdays, and there are a large number of official documents asking him to read them every day, and he doesn't even have time to rest, although he is busy every day, but if he is happy, only in Chu Ji himself knows, anyway, there are many people who envy this kind of life, but they can't ask for it. //。 qb⑤。 cOM\\
After giving instructions on an official document, Chu Ji rubbed his wrist and took a sip of tea, he wanted to rest for a while, but he didn't expect that after a while, another official came to the door.
"Master Chu, the lower officials are disturbed." The visitor saluted respectfully and said with a smile on his face.
"It turned out to be Lord Wu of the Tribute Academy." Chu Ji returned the salute slightly, smiled, and said in surprise: "Holy Oracle, during the examination period, the officials of the Tribute Academy are not allowed to go out, how can Lord Wu have time to come here." ”
"On the order of Zhigong Zhao Xuexue, come and do something." Lord Wu said with a smile: "Otherwise, how can the lower officials be able to get out of the gate of the Gongyuan for half a step, besides, the candidates' papers have already been approved, presumably not long after, Bachelor Zhao will report the admission list to the official family, and it will be revealed to the world." ”
"The speed of marking is so fast, you adults have really worked hard." Chu Ji said with a smile.
"It's just a matter of being faithful, He Yanxin." Lord Wu became modest, then smiled, and said, "I almost forgot to congratulate Master Chu." ”
"If there is no reason, how can the official be happy?" Chu Ji smiled slightly, a little puzzled in his heart.
"Hehe, too, Master Chu shouldn't know yet.
Master Wu smiled and said, "But since Master Chu knows where the lower official came from, he must also understand why the lower official congratulated." ”
Lord Wu said this. Ben didn't understand. And it's getting more and more confused. Chu Ji said with a smile. There is a little displeasure in my heart, and a thin face. I didn't expect the other party to be so uninteresting. Instead, I pinched it and picked it up.
"I'm afraid Master Chu doesn't understand. Rather, he pretended to be confused. It is no wonder that the official family often approves of Master Chu's calmness and seriousness. Lord Wu smiled and said, "Before the yellow list was revealed to the world." Caution should indeed be taken to avoid suspicion. However, Master Chu doesn't have to be so cautious. Before the next official came. Bachelor Zhao has already gone to the palace to meet the official family. I think I've been in the Ministry of Rites for a while. It's all settled. Master Chu can rest assured. ”
"This official is slow to react, I really don't know what Lord Wu is talking about." Chu Ji said helplessly. There was no smile on his face.
"Master Chu ....... I really don't know? I thought Chu Ji was still pretending. Lord Wu was about to say more, and suddenly found that Chu Zhen seemed to be displeased. Hurriedly stopped.
"This official has been busy with government affairs recently. The message does not make sense. "Maybe the other person really knows something that he doesn't know clearly. Chu Ji said politely: "Please also ask Lord Wu for advice." ”
"Chu Zhi's case is really true. Such an important matter was not even told to Bachelor Chu. Lord Wu smiled. Noticing that Chu Ji was a little impatient, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Ling's nephew is on the list in this examination. If you think about it, you will definitely be able to enter the Shiji and the first place in the near future. Glory to the ancestors. Xia Guan is here to congratulate Bachelor Chu first. ”
"What?" Hearing this news, Chu Ji's first reaction was that he had heard it wrong.
"Gongzi Chu is already a scholar of the imperial court, but he wants to set up a banquet to entertain guests." Master Wu smiled and said, "No, the exam is set up by Chu Zhi's case." ”
"Lord Wu, don't laugh, I think my nephew only received his letter a day ago when he was studying in Taishan, how can he come back to take the exam." Chu Ji shook his head and said, his expression sank.
"It shouldn't be." Master Wu was puzzled and said: "The list of people who will be admitted to the examination, the names are all copied by the lower officials, and the son is obviously among them, which is absolutely right." ”
"Maybe it just happens to have the same name." Chu Ji said indifferently, the world is so big, there are countless people with the same name and surname, and this kind of thing is not uncommon in the imperial examination.
"Otherwise, the frontispiece of the prince of Chu is among the clansmen, but it is written that the names of Chu Bachelor, Chu Zhi, and Chu Tuiguan are written, is this also wrong." Lord Wu was extremely strange, suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly took out a list from his arms, and said: "The lower official came this time, in accordance with the instructions of Bachelor Zhao, to naturalize the place of the current Kegongshi. ”
Although the tributes are not officials, after passing the palace examination not long after, some can be directly conferred officials, and some must be assessed before being awarded official positions, no matter what the case is, they need to go through the court of judges.
"Hui Yuan, Feng Jing, second place, Shen ......." After all, Chu Ji was also curious about who had the same name as his nephew, so he caused this misunderstanding and asked, "Where is the person Lord Wu is talking about?" ”
"It seems to be two hundred and fifty ......." With a little impression, Master Wu took two steps forward, roughly browsed it, pointed to the list and said with a smile: "Master Chu still said no, this is not who else can there be in the nephew." ”
Looking at Lord Wu's fingers, Chu Ji's eyes condensed slightly, and after seeing it clearly, he couldn't help but exclaim, "...... quality." ”
"Hehe, Xia Guan didn't admit his mistake." Lord Wu smiled proudly: "The name of the nephew, the lower officials have heard of it for a long time, how can they be mistaken, not long ago, they won the first place in the children's examination, and now they are in the Gongshi, Jinshi and the first are not far away." ”
Lord Wu is not surprised why Chu Zhen is not a person but can participate in the examination, you must know that even if it is a palace examination, as long as someone is promoted, even if there is no fame, a white body can participate in it in a grand manner, what is the only examination, as long as Master Chu hints, I am afraid that many people are scrambling to guarantee it.
After many years of ups and downs in the official sea, Chu Ji had already practiced the ability to collapse Mount Tai in front of him without changing his complexion, and he was shocked and immediately smiled, and said with an indifferent smile: "The matter of the naturalization of the pro-Kegong Shi, Lord Wu, please rest assured, this official will deal with this matter on the same day." ”
"Then it's going to be troublesome for Master Chu." Lord Wu said, he is not afraid of Chu Ji's delay, his nephew is among them, who will not try his best to do it as soon as possible.
"Master Wu walks slowly, you might as well get together again when you have time in the future." Chu Ji smiled and arched his hand.
"The next official retired." Wu Da was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that Chu Ji had admitted his feelings, he slowly retreated, his steps were much lighter, and he didn't waste his hard work rushing to lie here, and he really came to the right place.
"Someone." As soon as Lord Wu left, Chu Ji immediately shouted.
"What does Master Chu command?" After a few moments, an official hurried in.
"This is the list of new Kogons, you take it and put it in the official ranks." Chu Ji said: "This matter is not trivial, don't ignore it, you must do it as soon as possible, complete it tomorrow, and then the official will personally inspect it." ”
"Xia Guan understands." After taking the order, the official did not delay, bowed lightly, and retreated.
Explain the matter, sit for a while, Ji only felt restless in his heart, in the face of the various official documents and decrees on the case, he was no longer in the mood to approve it, put the pen lightly, sorted out the court clothes, and walked out of the official office of the court court, many officials in the official office naturally saw it, but no one turned a blind eye to it, bowed their heads and did their own things.
After a few minutes, Chu Ji came to an official office, and saw that the person who came was wearing a purple court dress, and the doorman did not dare to stop him, and respectfully let Chu Ji enter.
"I've seen Master Chu." When an official heard the report, he hurriedly came out to greet him.
"The governor of the tea case can be in the yamen?" Chu Ji asked directly.
"Master Chu, please wait, the next official will go to pass it on immediately." The official suddenly turned around and ran away again.
After a while, Chu Luo walked out quickly, with a puzzled expression, you must know that in order to avoid suspicion, Chu Ji did not allow himself to go to the Inquisitor's Court to find him at all, let alone come to find himself, how could he make an exception today.
"Needless to say, we'll go home right away." Chu Ji said, turning around and hurrying out.
"What the hell is going on?" Chu Luo muttered, not figuring out the situation, hesitated, and also started to follow.
The two passed through the heavily guarded palace ban, went out of the imperial city, got into their own cars, and the sedan chair drivers were urged by Chu Ji to travel quickly, and when they came to the vicinity of the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion, Chu Ji sent an entourage to inform Chu Qian and let him come out quickly.
"Big brother, second brother." Chu Qian, who trotted out all the way, gasped a little and saluted.
"Don't ask too much, immediately get up in the sedan chair and go to the second brother's mansion." Chu Luo waved his hand and said, instructing the palanquin man to continue going.
It was only ten minutes away from Kaifeng Mansion to Chu Luo's house, and Chu Qian was too lazy to sit in a sedan chair anymore, so he followed Chu Luo's sedan chair and asked quietly, "Second brother, what's going on?" ”
"I don't know, just now my eldest brother went to the Sansi Yamen to look for me, and he didn't say a word, so he came out in a hurry." Chu Luo shook his head and said.
"Then what is the big brother doing in your mansion?" Chu Qian asked.
"How do I know this?" Chu Luo said: "Maybe it's closer. ”
Just when the two of them were slowly guessing, the group came to the Chu Luo Mansion not far away, and the clever entourage had already run forward to inform, and the porter also hurriedly opened the middle door to welcome the sedan chair at any time.
At this moment, a team dressed in red and hanging colors came from the right, gongs and drums and joyful music resounded in the sky, and when they walked to the door of Chu Luo's mansion, they suddenly heard it, blocking Chu Ji and Chu Luo's sedan chair.
"Li Qi, what are you doing here?" Finding that there were people he knew in the team, Chu Qian immediately raised his voice and asked, it was also a little strange, this Li Qi was sent to the Gongyuan to perform official duties some time ago, how could he have time to come here, and he was dressed like this, as if he was here to report the good news.
"Chu Tuiguan." Li Qi said happily: "The little ones are here to receive the reward." ”
"Nonsense, what reward are you here to receive?" Chu Qian chuckled and reprimanded, "Don't hurry up and get out of the way." ”
"No need." Chu Ji lifted the sedan curtain and walked out, and said with a smile: "I have prepared the reward money, it depends on whether you have a reason to reach out and take it." ”
"Naturally, there is a reason." Li Qixiao smiled, took out a list of yellow silk from his arms, stretched out his hands, and shouted: "Kaifeng Dongcheng, the son of Chu Ming, the second hundred and fifty-first on the list of tribute scholars, I have come to congratulate you." ”
