In the late autumn of the capital, the cold hits, and the autumn wind carries the fallen leaves and dust flying all over the sky, making people unable to open their eyes and even cover their mouths for breathing.

People in the streets and alleys are in a hurry, unwilling to stay outside for a long time. The heavenly street in front of Tiananmen Square was very lively, with sedan chairs and horse-drawn carriages coming one after another, and officials wearing official hats and patch uniforms got out of the sedan chairs or carriages and flocked to the left gate of Chang'an on the east side of Tiananmen Square.

This is a three-que coupon gate, glazed tiles, big red walls, and white marble base. Each branch hall trial list, Jinshi yellow list is posted in the temporary dragon canopy outside the door. Once the lifters are named on the gold list, it is like a fish jumping into the dragon gate. And today, the newly appointed dismissed officials and the promoted officials who have worked hard for many years will also decide the official positions they will go to here, and the double happy event will be staged in this place where the government and the opposition have attracted attention, so this gate is called the "Dragon Gate", and the upcoming monthly election is also called the "Tiananmen Lottery"!

In the past year, Pan Er accompanied Han Xiufeng here almost every month to wait for news, and he was not surprised by the lively scene in front of him, seeing that Han Xiufeng was talking to Director Zhang in front, he simply put his insights on display with Yu Youfuxian, who came for the first time.

"The palace talks about feng shui as well, and feng shui pays attention to the green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right, so the door opposite is also called 'tiger gate'." Pan Er stood on tiptoe and pointed to the long and narrow square between Tiananmen Square and Zhengyangmen, and pointed to the corridors facing east and west on both sides of the square: "Uncle Yu, you know about the autumn trial, after the autumn trial is the autumn decision, and the death row prisoners who were hooked by the emperor's imperial pen were all brought in from the 'Tiger Gate', and then escorted to the vegetable market to be beheaded......"

Yu Youfu was stunned when he heard this, don't look at him who has been doing arrest in Ba County for so many years, and he has also followed Guan to arrest several heinous criminals, but he has never seen a death row prisoner when asked on the street.

Because all the death row prisoners in Ba County and even the entire Chongqing Prefecture had to be escorted to Chengdu, the governor of Sichuan had to meet with the political envoy and the prosecutor to interrogate him, and then report to the Criminal Department for review.

The death row prisoners who were hooked by the emperor with the imperial pen must die, whether they are beheaded or hanged, they have to be "decided" within the specified time limit, Chengdu is so far away from the capital, and it is not easy to wait until the will to have time to let the death row prisoners be escorted back to the states and counties, so those death row prisoners are generally sent on the road in Chengdu. But it's actually easy to kill a person, and I don't know how many prisoners have died in prison in the world, and I can't wait for the day when I will be executed by the emperor.

Yu Youfu was thinking wildly, and there was a commotion in front of him.

Pan Er pricked up his ears and listened, turned around and smiled: "It's started, the official department Shangshu and the squire will join the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to preside over the matter and the imperial history of Henan Province to draw lots." Lord Shangshu and Lord Shilang draw names, and draw official vacancies for the matter and the imperial history. At this time, it is all the priest, the prefect, and then the prefect, and it will be our turn later. ”

"Really?" Yu Youfu asked subconsciously.

"Look at what you're saying, of course it's really pumping!" Pan Er looked up and looked around, and said with a smile: "Why does the imperial court draw lots in front of so many alternate candidates, just to let so many people watch together, in case the old men of the Ministry of Officials do tricks." ”

"But ......"

"Nothing." The more Pan Er thought about it, the funnier it became, and he couldn't help but whisper in Yu Youfu's ear: "Uncle Yu, look at what kind of products are you here today?" The inspection grade is the lowest, and it is not a Jinshi to fill the position, they not only look down on it, but even if they want to do it, they can't do it. ”

"Why can't you do it?" Yu Youfu asked puzzled.

"It is said that the lack of inspection was originally given by the officials, as long as the scribes who have worked in the yamen for five years can come to the ministry to take the examination, and then gradually become promoted by the ambassadors of the prefecture, the ambassadors of the prefectures, the history of the canon, the post of the post, the officials of the river berth, and the officials of the gates, and then even the ambassadors of the prefectures have no chance, and almost all of them have been filled by the supervisors over the years." Pan Er smiled, and couldn't help adding: "I also donated the prison, and I also donated a nine-grade alternate inspection like the fourth brother, and when I learned how to be an official with the fourth brother, I will come to confess when I have the silver, and I will also ask Director Zhang to help when the time comes." ”

Yu Youfu didn't expect Pan Er to also want to be an official, and he was stunned for a while.

At the same time, the adults of the Ministry of Officials and the Imperial Procuratorate of the Imperial Court have been drawn to the magistrate, and then the main book and inspection will be drawn!

Han Xiufeng's heart was pounding with nervousness, Director Zhang looked at his nervous appearance, and couldn't help but joke: "Don't worry, there will be a next time if you can't draw this time, and there will be a next time if you can't draw this time." ”

"Director Zhang, don't make fun of me, you make fun of me again, if you can't draw it, I'll go to the provincial pavilion to eat."

"Why didn't you say it earlier, and say it earlier to make up for the shortcomings." Director Zhang patted him on the shoulder and quipped: "In a blink of an eye, I have been out for more than 20 years, and I think I should go back to my hometown to enjoy Qingfu." Zhixing, if you really like my errand, I can let it go to you! ”

The director of the Sichuan Hall is not the first thing of the Chongqing Hall, this is not what he can give to whoever he wants, not to mention that he is not only in charge of the seal ending, but also like the "Four Hengs" to help people donate to the prison and donate officials and even fill the vacancy, although he is not an official, but the oil and water are not less than the average county master, even if he gives 20,000 taels of silver, he will not let this errand out.

Han Xiufeng didn't know how to pick it up, but he heard a pen post shouting in front of him: "Inspection, Taizhou, Jiangsu, Han Xiufeng, Ba County, Sichuan, supervisor!" ”

"Did you hear that, I won the lottery," Director Zhang looked back at him with a smile and teased: "It seems that I can't let out this errand for a while, and it seems that I, the curator, will have to work for a few more years." ”

Han Xiufeng was afraid of hearing it wrong, so he subconsciously asked: "I really won the lottery, and I was really selected?" ”

"I can hear it clearly, this can be fake."

"Director Zhang, thank you for your great kindness......"

"Why, it's your luck to be chosen." There were all the alternate officials who had not been selected, and Director Zhang didn't want to cause trouble, so he hurriedly pulled Han Xiufeng aside.

Han Xiufeng reacted, looking embarrassed.

Pan Er and Yu Youfu heard it clearly just now, and squeezed over ecstatically, and before they could speak, Director Zhang smiled and said: "Zhixing, you make up for this shortcoming, I'll take you to the official certificate of the Ministry of Officials later, and you can pack your luggage and go to Jiangsu to take up your post after receiving the official certificate." ”

Han Xiufeng subconsciously asked: "Don't you need to be led by the officials?" ”

"You're just a patrol, not a governor! Even if you want to meet the emperor, the emperor doesn't have the time to see you, no matter whether the officials or the Ministry of Rites lead the introduction, at least you have to be the magistrate. Director Zhang paused, and said with a smile: "It's simple this time, but it won't be necessary next time." This inspection will be done first, and I will wait for the day when you will be led by the officials. ”
