Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the Yongxi Thousand Households are in a delicate atmosphere, in short, they are fighting but not breaking.

But He Xinghong forcibly intervened in the following matters several times, and it still caused waves in the Qianhu Office.

The struggle within the Thousand Households is basically unknown to outsiders, and what the world is most concerned about at this stage is the upcoming imperial examination.

In addition to the annual government examination, the more eye-catching is the triennial township examination, where students are praying to be promoted in high school in the autumn.

On the eighth day of September in the 22nd year of Yongzhi, Chen Xiaoting took his subordinates and rushed to the junction of Yongxi and Lizhou.

He also received a notice only yesterday that the chief examiner sent by the imperial court to Yongxi would arrive at the post station at the junction of the two provinces in two days.

But Chen Xiaoting is not here to protect the so-called chief examiner, and Jinyiwei doesn't love these civil officials so much.

In fact, this time he took people to have only one task, and that was to escort the exam questions that came with the examiner.

Fraud in Yongxi's scientific examinations has occurred from time to time, and it has always been criticized by the DPRK and China, so the DPRK and the Central Committee made a special order that the township examination questions would be personally escorted by Jinyiwei.

It took a day and a half, and it was also at noon on the ninth day of the ninth month of September, that Chen Xiaoting and his party finally arrived at the post station.

Coincidentally, at this time, the team from the capital had just arrived at the post station.

When they saw Chen Xiaoting and his entourage coming, the hundreds of households in Lizhou, who were in charge of escorting, were relieved at this time.

Under his introduction, Chen Xiaoting figured out that in fact, the so-called escort was more for surveillance.

To be precise, they monitored each other, and the exam questions were locked in an iron box, and the box was placed on the doctor who accompanied the examiner.

And the key ...... At this time, it was handed over to Chen Xiaoting, and it was handed over to him by the hundred households in Lizhou.

"Chen Baihu, this is a hot job, you have to be cautious with this key, don't hand it over to others!" Lizhou Baihu is very solemn.

Chen Xiaoting nodded and replied, "Thank you Brother Zhao for reminding me, I will invite you to drink when I have time in the future!" ”

After working in Qianhu for so many years, Chen Xiaoting's relationship network is actually not small, and he still has many acquaintances in the three Qianhu offices in Jianchuan, Liangzhou, and Lizhou.

After the handover with Chen Xiaoting was completed, Zhao Baihu from Lizhou led people to leave directly, as if he was escaping the plague.

After arranging for his subordinates to be on guard inside and outside the post station, Chen Xiaoting walked straight to the post station.

In fact, the defense force of this Qincha team was good, and Chen Xiaoting initially estimated that there were nearly one hundred and fifty sergeants on the other side.

From the banners played by these soldiers, Chen Xiaoting knew that this was the elite of the twelve guards in the capital, that is, the forbidden army in a broad sense.

So what Zhao Baihu said was right, Jin Yiwei stepped in and came in, which was more of a surveillance.

After carefully putting the key into the mezzanine of his clothes, Chen Xiaoting stepped on the steps of the main hall of the post station.

The Jinyi Guard was handed over alone, so Chen Xiaoting was also interrogated before entering the door, and the people on the Twelve Guards would not be scared of the Jinyi Guard.

Strictly speaking, Jinyiwei originally belonged to one of the twelve guards, but it was taken out because of special rights and responsibilities.

After entering the main hall, unlike Chen Xiaoting's imagination, the three officials who were resting inside were all relatively young.

The eldest of the three was no more than forty years old, while the youngest was about the same age as Chen Xiaoting.

is also the youngest person, with a package in his arms at this time, Chen Xiaoting guessed that it was the exam questions in it.

Therefore, the youngest official should be the doctor in Zhao Baihu, and the embroidered emu (xī chì) on his chest means that he is a seven-rank official.

The official sitting on the main seat is Yunyan, who represents the four products, and he is the chief examiner sent by the imperial court to Yongxi, and Zheng Yan, the right of the Inspectorate.

The imperial court sent to other provinces either cabinet scholars, or chamberlains from various ministries, or the Hanlin Academy.

It was the imperial history of the Inspectorate that was sent to Yongxi, which actually showed some attitudes of the imperial court, which was a distrust of Yongxi's examination.

"Chen Xiaoting, one hundred households in the Thousand Households of Xia Jinyi Wei Yongxi, I have seen all my lords!" Chen Xiaoting clasped his hands into fists and bent down to salute.

These people are sent by the imperial court, so Chen Xiaoting wants to give them some face, and it is also appropriate to see them.

I have to say that the aura of the Sipin Jingguan is very sufficient, and the chief examiner Zheng Yushi just nodded slightly, and did not say a word to Chen Xiaoting.

Don't look at Chen Xiaoting as a brocade guard, but in the eyes of these Beijing officials, it is actually not a big deal.

As long as these people hold the boundaries given to them by the emperor, they are actually not afraid of the factory guards at all, at least in the current court situation.

The examiner didn't speak, but the deputy examiner who came with him opened his mouth and introduced the identities of the three young people in the room to Chen Xiaoting.

The deputy chief examiner, Lord Wang, and the young official are both from Guozijian.

After simply getting to know each other, the three officials talked less to each other, and Chen Xiaoting couldn't talk to them.

So he left the main hall with a sense of humor, and only after the room did he take a closer look at the whole station.

I have to say that the soldiers of the Twelve Guards are indeed more meticulous in their work, and the settings of each guard are very reasonable.

I just went out, and Liu Jianping, who came with Chen Xiaoting, came over, full of surprise and said: "My lord, I opened my eyes just now, and those people inside came to us and brought cooks......

"The cooks in the post station have all been removed, and the cooks in the capital are cooking, it seems that we have a good day today!"

also brought a cook from the capital, and in an instant, the image of a few people collapsed a lot, and a glimpse of the whole picture was known, and these people would really enjoy it.

Chen Xiaoting couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart, who said that the officials of the Beijing Inspectorate must be poor?

Putting aside these thoughts, Chen Xiaoting said to Liu Jianping: "The subordinate soldiers in the post station, plus us, are all more than two hundred people, can he cook enough for so many people to eat?" ”

Liu Jianping was speechless, but he still smiled and said, "We can't eat, but you can always have a mouthful!" ”

Chen Xiaoting sighed, and then said: "Don't put your mind on these things, our errand this time is not easy, someone will lose their head if something goes wrong!" ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoting said in a stern tone: "Put your mind on errands, there are many people in the yamen, waiting to see our jokes!" ”

In fact, Liu Jianping knew all this, so he also nodded solemnly at this time.

"My lord, this humble job must be properly arranged along the way, and nothing will go wrong!" Liu Jianping assured.

Chen Xiaoting's face was gloomy, and he said: "Send the exam questions to the secret library of the Thousand Households, and it will only come to an end at this time, but you still can't take it lightly!" ”

That's right, the exam questions placed in the doctor's place will be sent to the secret treasury of the Thousand Households Institute after arriving in Luyang, which is also the rule in recent years, and it used to be placed in the governor's yamen.

Soon it was time to start the meal, Zheng Yan did not ask Chen Xiaoting to come over to eat together, it was a delicacy that belonged to the three of them.

When everyone was crowded together to eat, Liu Jianping, who was at the same table as Chen Xiaoting, was indignant about this, and whispered to Zheng Yan and others for looking down on people.

Liu Jianping was so obsessed, but it made Chen Xiaoting feel a little strange.

Later, he figured out that this was caused by some unrealistic contempt of Jinyiwei for civil officials.

Liu Jianping felt that civil officials should respect Jinyiwei enough, but obviously he didn't get this respect at this time, so he felt uncomfortable with Zheng Yan and others.

But the reality is that if you want to make the Imperial History of the Inspectorate of the People's Republic of China look up to it, you have to be at least a figure at the level of Jinyi Wei Qianhu.
