In the year of the examination, no matter how fierce the bandits were in the south, the capital was still lively, and the Chongqing Hall that was just completed a year ago was full of happy events.

First of all, the Rongchang examinee, the cousin of the Hanlin Academy, Ji Shi Ao Tongchen, Ao Jixian, Chinese style!

The eldest brother is like a father, Ao Tongchen has just finished the banquet in the hall of the fellow township officials and candidates in Beijing, he himself ushered in the big exam of the hall, and the test was surprisingly good, was awarded the review of the Hanlin Academy, and became a real Hanlin official. Immediately afterwards, his cousin Ao Xixian was ordered to go to the Baohe Palace to take the examination together with the undergraduate Chinese-style tribute, and he also did well in the exam, ranking 34 in the second grade, and was born as a Jinshi, and was selected as a Jishi of the Hanlin Academy.

A three-jinshi, this is not only a great joy but also a beautiful talk through the ages, the Ao family continued to feast guests in the hall, and the shopkeeper Wen and other fellow businessmen were very busy.

Huguang Dao Supervisor Huang Zhongyin and Hanlin Academy Editor Ji Yunfei helped to send away Ao Xianxian's fellow examiner, accompanied by the Ao family brothers, returned to the flower hall, took the tea from the Wen shopkeeper and sighed: Everyone, this hall is really not in vain, after the Wenchang Pavilion and the Xiangxian Temple, the literary style of my Chongqing Mansion and your official fortune have looked up, first the title of the Golden List of Registered Scholars, and then Tongchen awarded the editor, this official fortune can be seen how prosperous!

What Brother Bowen said was very true, Huang Zhongyin put down the teacup, looked around at everyone and said with a smile: Everyone, those of us in Beijing can't forget to dig wells.

Yes, if it weren't for Zhixing Zhang Luo, how could we have such a good guild hall, how could we have such a prosperous official luck! Ao Tongchen thought so.

Getting along with the officials day and night, Shopkeeper Wen is now becoming more and more confident, and he can't help but say: I haven't had a letter for so long, and I don't know how Master Han is doing now.

Shopkeeper Wen, you know what kind of person he is, he will not suffer no matter where he is. Ji Yunfei thought about it and smiled helplessly: It's just that he didn't have good luck going to Beijing this time, and he couldn't use one of the two letters from Master Duan and Brother Yongzhuo.

When Huang Zhongyin mentioned this, he was depressed, and sighed lightly: I didn't expect Yang Wending to be so greedy for life and afraid of death, if it weren't for the sake of the same year, I would definitely have participated in his book. But I broke my arm and tendons, who asked me to be the same year as him, not only could I not join him, but I had to help him run.

Brother Yongzhuo, how is Yang Wending's affairs doing, do you think he can pass this hurdle? Ao Tongchen asked curiously.

Huang Zhongyin sighed lightly and said with a bitter face: The emperor has just issued an order, and he urgently ordered Qi Shan, the minister of the Qin Mission, to lock him up and take it, and the criminal department will discuss the crime. I guess he should be able to save his head, but this official doesn't want to do it again, nine times out of ten he will be dismissed and never used.

He deserves it!

yes, who let him not fight on his own?

For the shopkeeper Wen, the governor of Jiangsu was too far away, he only cared about Han Xiufeng, and couldn't help but ask again: Master Huang, I heard an adult say that the thieves had occupied Yangzhou during the banquet just now, and Master Han was an official in Yangzhou Mansion, do you think Master Han will have anything to do?

Yangzhou Mansion is big, and he is not in Fucheng, but in Taizhou under Yangzhou, or in Hai'an, the easternmost part of Taizhou, to do inspections, hundreds of miles away from Yangzhou, there should be no problem.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

After falling down again, Ren He, who didn't want to go back to his hometown in Ba County like this, and planned to find an errand in the capital like He Heng, couldn't help but think that the bandits had already captured Yangzhou, and it was a matter of time before they went to Taizhou. Han Si is an inspector, and he is also half of the leading soldiers, if the bandits go to Taizhou, Han Si will definitely go into battle.

The thieves and bandits are powerful, otherwise they will not attack the city all the way from Guangxi to Yangzhou, and they will definitely not be able to win the fight against Han Si, if they run, they will be investigated by the imperial court like Yang Wending, the governor of Jiangsu.

Ao Xixian, who was named on the gold list, didn't know what Ren He was thinking, and he hadn't seen Han Xiufeng, but he only heard his brother and these officials in Beijing often mention it, and subconsciously said: Master Huang, Master Ji, Liu Cunhou should also go to Jiangsu if he wants to serve under the adult, he will definitely pass through Taizhou, and when he arrives in Taizhou, he will definitely go to find Zhixing.

That's right, we have a few fellow villagers in Jiangsu, and it is estimated that there will be news of ambition in another month or two.

Ren He didn't dare to say it, but he was secretly thinking in his heart that there would be news sooner or later, but nine times out of ten it was bad news.

Everyone was chatting, He Heng ran in in a hurry, and as soon as he ran into the flower hall, he said eagerly: Master Huang, Master Ji, Wanfuqiao is a great victory! Baita River victory! Yangzhou finally won two battles, and one of the victories was still fought by Zhixing!

Got news of your ambition? Ji Yunfei cared most about Han Si's little fellow, and subconsciously stood up.

Well, the minister of the Qin Mission, Qi Shan, sent an urgent report for 600 miles, and after Zhang Zhigao, the governor of Taizhou, knew the news that the bandits had invaded Yangzhou, he immediately recruited and trained Xiangyong together with Han Chen, the ambassador of the Salt Division of the Jiaojiao Field, and ordered the acting Zhou to lead Han Xiufeng and his son Zhang Guangcheng to lead more than 1,000 townships in Taizhou and Jiaoxie Field to rush to aid Yangzhou. Zhixing can only fortify at Wanfu Bridgehead to prevent bandits from invading Taizhou.

And then?

He Heng took a sip of water and said excitedly: The bandits really divided into two routes, one way to invade Taizhou through Wanfu Bridge, all the way from the Wantou Fairy Temple in the south, along the Yunyan River to invade Taizhou. Zhixing led a thousand townsmen to fight with the bandits for a day, not only guarding but also seizing the seal of the governor of Liangjiang who was robbed by the bandits. Zhang Zhigao, the governor of Taizhou, also led Qingzhuang to repel the bandits at the Baita River at the junction of Taizhou and Jiangdu, and beheaded more than 400 bandits.

Zhixing didn't go to do inspections, when did he act with Shangzhou, this official was promoted too quickly!

I don't know. He Heng thought for a while and said: I heard Liu Xihui, a small military plane on duty during the day, say that Zhixing was injured when he fought with bandits, and he was already on the fold of suing for illness, and I don't know if the emperor will approve it.

Is the injury serious?

I don't know, but I've all complained about the disease, and it is estimated that the injury is not light.

It's better to be injured than to be martyred, looking at Zhixing's face is not a short-lived one, and there will be a blessing if you don't die in a catastrophe!

Yes, yes, Master Huang is right, Zhixing is in danger this time, and he will definitely have a prosperous official fortune in the future. He Heng looked back at everyone, and said with his eyebrows: Lord Xiang is from Chongqing, and Zhixing is also from Chongqing, they won the battle in the south, and our fellow villagers in the capital also have a light on their faces!

Well said, rightly said! Ji Yunfei immediately took out the money bag, turned out a handful of scattered silver, looked up and said with a smile: Shopkeeper Wen, the victory of Wanfuqiao is not only a blessing for the imperial court, but also a great joy for my Chongqing Hall. It's too late today, let's do it tomorrow, don't be reluctant to spend money, the more lively the operation, the better!

It's supposed to be done well. Huang Zhongyin reacted and also took out a silver ingot.

Both of them gave out the money, Ao Tongchen and Ao Xixian also hurriedly touched their pockets, Ren He was stunned, he couldn't believe his own ears, how could he not have imagined that Han Si had only gone to Jiangsu as an official for a few days, not only turned into a state from the sixth grade, but also led the troops to fight a big victory.

Shopkeeper Wen Zele's heart was full of joy, and while collecting the cash according to the rules of the guild hall, he asked eagerly: Master Huang, Master Ji, it is a small matter, but how many tables do you want to set up tomorrow, and which masters do you want to invite over?

In Huang Zhongyin's view, this is not only to help Han Si in Jiangsu celebrate, but also when the civil and military officials of Chongqing Prefecture and even the entire Sichuan in Beijing raised their eyebrows, and muttered: Those good Zhang Jing from the Military Aircraft Department must be invited, and the squire of the Sixth Department may not necessarily come, but the invitation must be sent. The officials of the six departments, especially the officials of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, can invite all the officials, Zhixing is a civil official, and he is only acting with the state, so he doesn't need them to take care of it, but they will be indispensable to the adult side in the future.

So you have to prepare more than a dozen tables to sit at the table?

According to the preparation of the sixteen tables, the silver is not enough to use the public funds of the guild hall first, and when Liu Cunhou arrives in the camp of Lord Xiang, Lord Xiang will naturally send someone to send silver.

Although Xiang Rong is the same minister as Qi Shan, he is both from a humble background and a Han Chinese, the emperor does not believe in him very much, and those princes and ministers in the court even have objections to Xiang Rong holding heavy troops. Therefore, Xiang Rong sent people to the capital for activities as early as Hubei, but he spent a lot of money, but he couldn't find a backer who could help speak, so he could only retreat and ask Huang Zhongyin, Ji Yunfei and other fellow villagers to take care of him.

If you want to take care of it, you have to exchange news, and Liu Cunhou, who came to Beijing a year ago, wants to make a contribution, Huang Zhongyin and Ji Yunfei simply let Liu Cunhou go to work under Rong, which can not only help make suggestions, but also exchange news to strengthen contact.

Shopkeeper Wen knew some inside information, and he was not worried about the lack of money at all, so he hurriedly bowed down and said: Okay, I'll go to Zhang Luo.

Seeing off the shopkeeper Wen, Huang Zhongyin muttered: Zhixing is also true, and he is about to die as soon as he makes a great achievement. If you want to recuperate, you can't rest anywhere!

Ao Tongchen echoed: Yes, it would be a pity if he was like this.

Among so many people, Ji Yunfei knew Han Si the best, and couldn't help but smile and said: Everyone, if I guessed correctly, Zhixing is homesick and misses his baby, he wants to retire successfully!

Brother Bowen, are you saying that Zhixing's injury is not serious, maybe he is not injured at all?

He couldn't say that, but it wasn't that easy for him to tell the sick. Think about it, how many civil and military officials in the entire Yangzhou government dare to fight against the bandits, and how many can win the battle. The emperor will definitely not grant permission, even if he is seriously injured, he will only let him recuperate in Taizhou, and will never let him resign and return to his hometown like this.
