February Xin Chou (22), the third day before the locking ceremony. Inside and outside the Liunequan Office, there are already countless officials, and the surrounding water is impassable.

Although, Liu Neiquan is only the lowest official position in the three courts of the Great Song Quan and Cao. (The previous information is wrong, today I checked the "Song Dynasty Official System Dictionary" and found that in the fourth year of Taizong Chunhua, the examination institute has been merged into Liuneiquan, and the later Northern Song Dynasty Quan Cao Siyuan only appeared in the time of Shenzong)

But without a doubt, it is the most powerful!

Because, the officials of the Beijing Dynasty who were under the control of the court of judges were directly subordinate to the political affairs hall and were controlled by the central minister.

As for the Sanban Academy, it is directly assigned by the official family to lead the three officials.

Only Liu Neiquan belongs to the Ministry of Officials, but the Ministry of Officials now exists in name only, only an empty shelf.

Therefore, Liu Neiquan's autonomy and independence are very strong, and his power is naturally great.

After all, the consuls of Zaifu, if they are not necessary, will not interfere and interfere in the selection and investigation of the internal Quan-the Beijing Dynasty officials of the Inquisitor's Court are enough for them to be busy.

It is precisely because of this that most of the officials outside the official office are nervous.

Especially the newcomers and the old people who come here every year.

It's easy to understand the apprehension of newcomers.

The old man's apprehension is easier to understand.

Because there are too many officials in the Great Song Dynasty!

However, there are only a few positions, and more importantly, the ancestors have a law that stipulates that each official can only serve a maximum of one term in one position.

This term may be three years, thirty months, twenty months or less.

However, no matter how long it takes, as soon as the term of office expires, this official has to pack up his baggage and come to Bianjingquan Cao to be elected.

Those who have sufficient political achievements or have strong connections or strong money ability are naturally in danger, and can be successfully removed from a new position, and sometimes if they are lucky, they can surpass their own seniority and become a higher-level official.

But......

If you have no political achievements, no connections, no money, and no luck.

Then there are some waiting!

Because, there are too many officials, and the Great Song Dynasty has been established for a hundred years.

Therefore, Chen Chen is in the same direction, and the officials are combined.

As a result, the most common situation encountered by an official is: he came to this Quancao, successfully delivered the text, completed the expulsion procedures, and the Quancao official also drew a seal for him.

Then, he would find out that there was now someone in the position from which he had been removed!

Therefore, you can only choose to change your official position, or wait for that person to step down and replace him yourself.

If he changes his position, Quan Cao Guan may not be happy, and even if he chooses again, the result may be similar.

From this, a spectacle appeared in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty.

Usually, in an official position, usually the predecessor has left, but he has not yet taken up the new position, so his title is still so-and-so official, but in this position, there is already a new official, and then, there is another one waiting to take over.

These three people are theoretically all so-and-so officials.

It's just that only if you are working and you can get money, the other two can only eat yourself.

This is redundancy.

Nowadays, in some popular official positions, there may be as many as a dozen people waiting in line to take over.

In other words, even if someone waits until he dies, he may not be able to wait for the day when he takes up his post!

Therefore, a few days ago, Zhongshu issued an amnesty, recruiting cadres of nine and eight grades from the state and county departments to go to the border to command the archers Tuntian.

As a result, the curtain officials of the 22nd Road Prefecture of the Great Song Dynasty were enthusiastic all of a sudden.

In just a few days, thousands of people signed up.

There are even people who have written a 10,000-word book to express their determination to 'sacrifice their lives for the country'.

And most of these people are officials who are on standby.

Therefore, except for a few of these officials who came to this stream according to the system, most of them are preoccupied.

So, they got together in twos and threes, chatting about their own experiences and hears, to pass the time.

"Did you hear that?" A low-level civil official wearing a green official robe whispered: "Just yesterday, in addition to the command of Yanzhou in Shaanxi Province, Di Qing was appointed as the governor of Yanzhou, and this official was promoted to the envoy of the Western Cabinet!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone blew up.

From command to jurisdiction, this is a skip!

Not to mention that the official was directly promoted to the envoy of the West Cabinet, this is a martial arts position of the sixth grade, and it is an official of the Beijing Dynasty!

And what was the previous official named Di Qing?

Straight in the temple? Waiting? Or is it just a little guy with no taste?

In other words, the lucky man named Di Qing jumped into the dragon gate overnight and became the seed of the country's future general!

"The princes ......don't know," a well-informed official whispered, "Who is the leader of this Di Qing......

"The white is Shaanxi Jingluo to appease the deputy envoy Fan Xiwen......"

"Later, it was the Shaanxi transport envoy Pang Yuzhi, the Shaanxi Jingluo pacification deputy envoy Han Zhigui and the deputy governor of Huanqing Road, Zhiqingzhou Ren Youzhi, and the Shaanxi Jingluo pacification envoy Xia Ziqiao who gave him the tip ......"

"Tut-tut...... The entire economic strategy is the context of Wu Chongchen, and they are jointly signed together to protect ah......"

"This is going to heaven!"

When the others heard this, they all gasped.

"I heard that he has made meritorious contributions along the border, and his promotion is very fast, and he is not well known!" Someone sighed: "If this is the case, I can be awarded the official position in Shaanxi, even if it takes a few years, I am willing!" ”

The others nodded their heads, and then when they thought of something, they shook their heads unconfidently.

Now, the most popular official position in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty is the official position in Shaanxi, with the focus on the positions in the border counties along Qiyan Road, Qinfeng Road, Jingyuan Road and Huanqing Road.

Now, as long as there is a vacancy in a prison town along the border, there may be more than a dozen people competing for it.

Many promising officials, even preferring to leave their existing positions and not go, have to guard a position along the border.

There is no other reason, it is that the promotion is fast, and the transfer is fast.

Especially for the candidates, the advantages of official positions along the border are comparable to those of jinshi.

There is no way, the Great Song Dynasty has to go through the four orders and seven cycles, and it is impossible to survive by boiling.

can only find ways to find this kind of shortcut, even if it is to gamble with their lives, for most people are willing.

Otherwise, some time ago, Zhongshu recruited people to the border, and they had to transfer to military positions, but why is there still an endless stream of applicants? !

It was even rumored that officials with a background in the upper realm B list and pedantic scholars also participated in the registration.

In the face of such a fierce competitive environment, most people know in their hearts that they have no hope.

Not to mention, there are only one or twenty official positions along the border that Liu Neiquan can use to elect and transfer officials this time.

However, there are thousands of people waiting inside and outside this stream.

There are more monks and less porridge, and they don't have enough tough confidence, where can they choose the edge?

It would be nice to have a position where you can be an official.

Even, for most people, they are already Amitabha Buddha if they can pass today's body and speech test, and they dare not look at it more.

In this uneasy atmosphere, the main gate of Liunequan was pushed open by several officials.

As a result, the curtain of the first year of the Great Song Dynasty officially opened.
