On April 1, a decree alarmed the government and the opposition. "Since ancient times, politics has been based on learning. I want to elect the young and strong people in the middle of the court, and study politics in the political affairs hall, in order to use it in the future. The selected virtuous ability, to serve the country, to the deputy Qinxian. ”

There is a seat in Wei Yishen above the Golden Palace, and the sixty-six-year-old prime minister's hair is all white. This time, the Son of Heaven selected young and strong people to enter the political hall to study politics, Wei Yishen already knew that it felt a bit like mixed sand, and he had controlled the political hall for more than ten years, and there were more of these young people, I don't know what the sign was.

Things came a little suddenly, Wei Yishen heard the Son of Heaven mention the matter of studying politics, and thought that there would be two more years, but he didn't expect it to be implemented now. The Son of Heaven was anxious, and Wei Yishen had a thought in his heart, but he was really old, and he had his grandson Wei Youcheng on the list, so he pushed the boat with the flow.

Those young courtiers above the court are happy, and they are studying politics and politics, and it is clear that they want to reserve talents for the future, and even the prime minister, this is an opportunity to ascend to the sky.

The list has been drawn up and numbers as many as 30. Since the Son of Heaven became the country, there have been four imperial examinations, plus Enke at the time of the throne, a total of five sessions, the top three in addition to the foreign appointment, the eldest, a total of eleven people are on the list, in addition to these eleven people, the princes and grandsons account for eight people, including Zhu Yifeng, Wei Mengde, there are five children of the family, and the remaining six. It is worth mentioning that among the thirty people, there is not one direct bachelor in Chongwenguan, and all of them are on the list. Thirty people are divided into three groups, the original errands are both, and the matter is important, such as Jiang Anyidong Palace's attendant in the first place, and then the political hall is on an errand, and if he is not on duty, he will return to the Ministry of Rites.

The oldest of these thirty people is thirty-eight years old, and the youngest is, of course, Jiang Anyi, who is only twenty-one years old. Except for a few of these nouveau riche who are fifth-grade officials, most of them are sixth-grade petty officials, and a group of dark green and light red officials poured into the political hall to see the secretary's supervisor, the middle academy, and the lower courtyard of the door, which made Dazheng's spring garden unbearable.

Those purple-clad and red-clad officials were polite when they saw these juniors, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, maybe one day some of these young people will become bosses, the most unfortunate, their children and grandchildren will beg for food in the hands of these people, as the saying goes, don't bully the young and poor, referring to these young elites.

After everyone walked around, Jiang Anyi's excitement passed, thanked him a few times, and returned to Yufu with Zhang Zhicheng. Yu Zhijie had already dispersed and gone home, estimating that his son-in-law and disciple would come, so he asked his wife to prepare a table of banquets early, and after the two entered the house, the family began to chat while eating.

"Long live let you enter the political hall to learn politics, the old man also heard the rumors in advance, but he didn't expect it to be implemented so soon." Yu Zhijie poured a glass of wine for the two of them, and said slowly: "This is a good thing, Yu's son-in-law and disciples are among them, and the officials of other ministries are envious." ”

Put down the wine jug, rub his beard, and don't need to hide it in front of his family, Yu Zhijie's face is full of self-satisfaction, and he is extremely satisfied with these two juniors, the young phoenix is clear and the old Fengsheng is clear, and the future achievements of these two people will not be under him.

Looking at his two sons and nephew, Yu Zhijie sighed secretly. Yu Qinghuan is sincere and filial, but Mu Ne doesn't know how to be flexible, Yu Qingle is born to jump out, it is difficult to be a big responsibility, Yu Qingshan is better among the four nephews, and he has entrusted someone to let him enter the country to study, but compared with Jiang Anyi and Zhang Yucheng, the distance is too far.

However, with Zhang Yucheng and Jiang Anyi here, the Yu family will not decline. The eldest son will let him take the exam for another year next year, and if he can't do it, let him find an errand to support his family first, and he will be a scholar of the three grades, and Qingle Yin will be given to Shilang, and it is more than enough to be a master in the sixth department; As for the second son, let him return to Xinqi's hometown in a few years, he might as well help take care of the family's business, he is very active in business, maybe he is good at business.

Yu Qingle had already married Zhang Yuzhu at the beginning of the year, and after marriage, he was uncomfortably restrained by his wife, Zhang Yucheng was the eldest brother, and he was a little afraid by nature, so he had to hit Jiang Anyi with his idea. Yu Qingle said with a smile: "I heard Brother Qingshan say that your brother and his classmates and friends came to Kyoto, and Anyi is busy with business and has no time to accompany them." As for me, I'm just in a panic, or I'll take them around tomorrow to play. ”

The third uncle and they returned to Texas, An Yong and Guo Huaili stayed, without the restraint of their elders, and there were enough coils in their pockets. Jiang Anyi was somewhat on an errand, and it was impossible to play with them all day long, so he was probably familiar with the road, and told the two not to cause trouble, so they played by themselves.

Hearing that Yu Qingle, an old Kyoto, volunteered to be a guide, Jiang An couldn't ask for it, raised his glass and smiled: "Thank you, Brother Qingle, I would like to give you a cup." ”

Yu Qingle drank it all with a smile, Yu Zhijie glared at his son, and did not make a sound, his son himself knew what it was, and he had indeed detained him too much these days. Now that Jiang Anyi has opened his mouth, it is difficult for him to refute his face, and if he can have a good relationship with Jiang Anyi's younger brother and classmates, it will be convenient to engage in business in the future.

Zhang Yucheng expressed his helplessness about his brother-in-law's virtue, so he simply regarded it as out of sight, turned his face and asked Yu Zhijie: "Father-in-law, the Son of Heaven let us learn politics and politics, in addition to cultivating talents, what is the intention?" ”

Yu Zhijie thought for a while, and did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "What do you think?" ”

Jiang Anyi didn't bother to think so much, and said with a smile: "It's just to see that we are bored and find some work for us." ”

Looking at this disciple who was born in the blessing and didn't know the blessing, Yu Zhijie reprimanded with a straight face: "Anyi, don't you think you are messing around in the Ministry of Rites?" I heard that Liu Langzhong doesn't let you do anything, except for drinking tea and chatting, how many things have you done in the Ministry of Rites for more than two years? ”

Hearing the teacher's reprimand, Jiang Anyi was embarrassed, put away his smile, and replied with a bitter face: "Master Yu, you also know that Liu Yu and I didn't deal with it, and I was sneering when I saw it at first, but now I am respectful and far away, in a word, ignore me." ”

Yu Zhijie sighed and said, "Speaking of which, it's still my fault, this Liu Yu is related to the Anqi Li family, and he is angry with you because of the Qing War, or will you think of a way for the teacher to change the yamen?" ”

"Forget it, it's not the same, anyway, I'm called a 'second stunned', and now it's much better than last year, then Liu Yu can squeeze out a little smile when he sees me, and it is estimated that it will get better after a while." Jiang Anyi leaned back in the chair and let out a long sigh.

"Anyi, although you are joking, but Banzai may really have this meaning in it. A few days ago, the Zichen Palace was dispersed, and the Son of Heaven specially left me, saying that you didn't do your job, didn't spend your mind on serving the court, thinking about some strange skills, saving money, and wasting your talent. ”

Jiang Anyi sat upright and said gratefully: "Thank you for your care, thank you Master Yu for your mention." ”

Zhang Yucheng was very envious on the side, although he was also quite concerned by the Son of Heaven, he was inferior to Jiang Anyi.

Yu Zhijie's inquiring eyes looked at Zhang Yucheng, Zhang Yucheng said with a smile: "It seems that the meaning of the Son of Heaven has several weights, one is that Wei Xiang is old, and the Son of Heaven is ready to let people share his affairs, and the ministers of the court and the central government are a lot older, and the Son of Heaven intends to take this opportunity to train some young courtiers to replace the old ministers, and then it will not look like a green and yellow minister." ”

"Second, the prince is getting older and starting to have his own team, and this time the direct bachelors of Chongwen Pavilion are on the list, which shows the will of the Son of Heaven."

Yu Zhijie nodded frequently, the hero saw the same thing, Zhang Zhicheng's analysis was similar to his own opinion. Yu Qinghuan listened carefully, Yu Qingle didn't care about himself, and concentrated on dealing with a pig's elbow, while Yu Qingshan paid attention to the demeanor and demeanor of his uncle and cousin-in-law.

"Thirdly, in addition to the preparations in the court, the Son of Heaven may also send some of this group of people to serve in the state and county, and the result of several battles is not very satisfactory, if a group of capable people can be trained, the matter of clearing the fields and acres will go deeper, and the stubborn diseases in the local area can also take the opportunity to start to eliminate."

"Fourth, as my father-in-law said, the Son of Heaven is afraid that a virtuous person like An Yi will be wasted in the yamen, and at the same time, the introduction of this group of newcomers is also a promotion for the elderly, and even middle-aged people like my father-in-law.

Yu Zhijie raised his glass with a smile and said: "Zhicheng sees the subtleties, and the analysis is the Tao, Anyi, you have to learn more from Yucheng in this regard." ”

Jiang Anyi also picked up the cup and said with a smile: "Brother Zhicheng has always been Jiang's role model, but Brother Zhicheng is fast, I can't catch up." ”

Zhang Zhicheng snorted: "My horse is fast, then you give me charcoal to ride for two days." Anyi, I know that you don't care about officialdom, but since we have put on this official robe, we have to do our best for the people of the world. ”

For Zhang Zhicheng's earnestness and kindness, Jiang Anyi has been taught many times, and hurriedly raised his glass and responded: "Yes, yes, yes, Jiang has the same mind as Brother Zhicheng, and Puji is born." Come, Master Yu, Brother Zhicheng, Jiang Mou respects you a cup, thank you for mentioning it, Jiang Mou will be more diligent in the future. ”

Da Zheng Tang is alone, the political hall Wei Xiang is under the command, and the political hall is divided into the secretary and supervisor, the middle academy, and the door courtyard, all of which are officials from the three grades, and generally speaking, they are the successors of the six Shangshu. Yu Zhijie's direct promotion from the servant of the Ministry of Officials to the Secretary of the Ministry of Household is to praise the intention of the Son of Heaven to clear the war, otherwise most of them would have to sit in these three yamen for two years.

Jiang Anyi and Zhang Yucheng are in a group, and the top three in the last two subjects are in this group, as well as acquaintances Zhu Yifeng and Wei Mengde, and of course, Hua Wenqing, the new science detective in Huazhou, is also in this group. Because these people belong to the new hands, the longest time they have been officials in the court is only four years, and they belong to the secretary to do miscellaneous work first.

The main responsibility of the secretary is to keep the secrets of the library and collect the books, which is not complicated and easier to start than the middle school and the lower courtyard.
