Lin Haoran knew that these words could not fool people, so while admiring the beauty in front of her, he reached out to help her untie her clothes, and at the same time explained in his mouth: "Because this year is the year of Dabi!" ”

"So what?" Hua Yingrong's pretty face was like a curious girl, and she asked suspiciously.

Lin Haoran had already undressed the essence, threw the pink belly pocket in front of the bed, and said as if he was dominating the world: "For the husband to be in charge of the ceremonial department, the list of chief and deputy examiners of the two capitals and thirteen provinces is initially determined by me!" ”

The Ministry of Rites said that it was the Qingshui Yamen, but it was not completely without authority.

This year is the year of Dabi, and the Etiquette Department of the Ministry of Rites is the candidate in charge of the chief examiner of the township examination, and Lin Haoran, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites who is in charge of the Etiquette Department, is the first person to draw up the list.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the chief examiner of the township examination was actually selected to serve as a teacher in various provinces. However, the Jiajing Dynasty made amendments, and Jiajing adopted the suggestion of Zhang Xuan, the former chief assistant of the cabinet, and the chief examiners of the township examinations in various provinces and the chief and deputy examiners of the township examinations in the two capitals were sent to serve as Beijing officials.

Many officials in Beijing want to serve as the chief examiner of the township examination, so that they can not only take the opportunity to show the prestige of Beijing, but also be able to disturb a large group of protégés, which can be said to have benefited a lot.

It is precisely because of this that the officials of the six ministries all want to tie up with Lin Haoran, so as to get a good job of going out to the capital to serve as the chief examiner of the township examination.

Hua Yingrong suddenly realized that she really couldn't underestimate this Ministry of Rites Yamen. Who would have thought that in this seemingly peaceful forty-three years of Jiajing, it would be so popular.

Lin Haoran didn't give Hua Yingrong too much time to sigh, but like a hungry wolf, he followed her to spend this Lantern Festival together.

After the Lantern Festival, within a few days, the officials returned to the yamen to report, and the yamen were busy in an orderly manner. The busiest yamen is the household department, all expenses have to be accounted for and disbursed, many things seem simple, but it is really a headache to do, especially when the finances are still stretched.

After Lin Haoran returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, the most important thing was to finalize the candidate for the chief examiner of the township examination.

Although the township examination is usually arranged in July and August, some provinces in the southwest are remote, and now we are starting to draw up the candidates for the chief examiner of the township examination, which is almost the same in time.

This thing is simple to say, but the essence is a mystery.

Now it's like dividing the bread, you give the bread to someone, but the other person may not remember your affection. And if you don't give bread to some people, they are likely to hold a grudge against you for the rest of their lives.

It is precisely in this way that this is actually a very personal ability work, and the art of dividing the pie is emphasized.

However, this matter is naturally difficult for Lin Haoran, he asked Wang Shiju and Li Yanchen and other protégés to be in charge of the group of scholars below the level of students in the capital, and Meng Zhao was in charge of the group of scholars in Beijing, and soon all kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky.

"The township test list is out!"

"One penny, no bullying!"

"My uncle is on an errand in the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, he must not be wrong!"

……

Some of the children were like newsboys, selling lists on the streets.

It is precisely under these kinds of rumors that many officials who thought that they would definitely be able to secure the place of the chief examiner of the township examination could not sit still, and tried to inquire about the truth of the news.

When they learned that the list had not been released at all, many officials who thought that they would definitely be able to secure the place of the chief examiner of the township examination also wiped their faces, and they tried every means to get rid of Lin Haoran's relationship.

In just three days, almost all the officials who were interested in the chief examiner of the township examination glared at Lin Haoran, begging Lin Haoran to put his name on the list of chief examiners of the township examination.

The yamen of the Ministry of Rites, the left waiter signed the room.

Lin Haoran, who was wearing an official uniform, sat at his desk, and a refreshing warning hung on the wall behind him: There are difficulties in the world, and it is easy to do it; If you don't, it's easy and it's hard.

Lin Haoran was holding a wolf brush in his hand, facing the space of the examiners in the two capitals, but his brows were deeply frozen.

Among the township examinations in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, the most important is the township examination in the two capitals, with 135 admitted, like only 75 in Guangdong and 30 in Guizhou.

Compared with the flexibility of the principal and deputy examiners of the township examination in the thirteen provinces, the chief examiner of the township examination in the two capitals has rules to follow, and they are usually selected by qualified Hanlin officials with high official positions and deep qualifications.

According to the current order of the official positions of the Hanlin Academy, the chief examiners of the two capitals are resolutely the two attendants of the Hanlin Academy, Lin Yi and Wang Bo.

Wang Bo was a 26-year-old scholar of Jiajing, who was first awarded the Hanlin Academy to edit and relocate. Whether it is personal qualifications or age, he is very suitable for the candidates of the chief examiner of Liangjing.

Lin Yi's age and qualifications are older than Wang Bo, so he is naturally more qualified.

Among the two capitals, the chief examiner of the Tianxiang examination has a higher gold content, which can be seen from the fact that the current Shoufu, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household are all from Nanzhili.

It's just that many times more political factors are important, after all, Beijing is the capital, so Lin Yi, who is older and more qualified, served as the chief examiner of the Shuntianxiang test, while Wang Bo wanted to "wrong" the examiner of the Yingtianxiang test.

Lin Haoran had a different idea, and after careful consideration, he filled in two names on the blank, and gently blew the ink on it, which was to stamp his official seal on it.

"Zhao Mu, you send it over to Lord Zhengtang immediately!"

Lin Haoran put the list in an envelope, and then called a scribe in and asked him to hand over the list to Li Chunfang.

Although he drew up the list, the real decision was not made by him. It is necessary not only to pass the review of Li Chunfang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but also to be decided by the cabinet, and even the emperor must be satisfied.

Of course, the emperor of this dynasty was obsessed with cultivation and rarely interfered in such small matters.

Li Chunfang was a dedicated official, and if he hadn't been summoned to Xiyuan, he would have stayed in the Ministry of Rites. As for the Hanlin Academy, he will only go over to deal with it if something happens.

He stayed in the yamen of the Ministry of Rites today to be in charge of affairs, but after reading the list, his brows couldn't help frowning tightly. It's just that this good old man didn't change his name, but he stamped the main hall seal of the Ministry of Rites, and sent someone to the cabinet.

Xu Jie, in the duty room of the first assistant, was dealing with the affairs of the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and stood at the height of the imperial ruler to take a bird's-eye view of the various events that happened in this dynasty.

When he learned that the list of examiners for the township examination drawn up by the Ministry of Rites had been sent, he also checked the list for the first time, but when he opened the roster, a look of surprise flashed on his face full of kindness.

His eyes stared at the list, and his mouth opened slightly, the chief examiner of the thirteen provincial and township exams was fine, but the chief examiner of the two capitals resolutely was: Zuo Zanshan and the Hanlin Academy reviewer Yin Shidan and the Guozijian Siye and Hanlin editor Zhang Juzheng.
