15. Rank and award of county lieutenant

So Gao Yue took the pen and wrote out the two judgments separately, the judgments of the Tang Dynasty were actually variants of the Fuwen, and they still had to pay attention to the battle between the two Li, at this time Gao Yue had to thank Wu Cailuan, who had asked him to write a book before, and he could really exercise his ability in this area.

Most of the candidates on the side of the other books are worried, and those who spend money and bribe have an expression of waiting for the rice to be cooked, but the two examiners, Ling Huxiang and Dong Jin, have always looked at each other like torches, and they don't let anyone have the opportunity to plagiarize the book or exchange heads.

The warm sunlight of Ji Chun projected down, illuminating the paper scroll in front of Gao Yue's eyes half bright and half dark, Gao Yue constantly moved his arm slightly, shifting the paper to facilitate the pen.

Soon, the sound of hurried cymbals came, causing Huxiang and Dong Jin to stand up at the same time, so that the officials began to collect their names.

At this time, Xie Xiaoji walked in front of Gao Yue, and glanced at him, Gao Yue understood, and immediately submitted the full judgment file, Xiaoji quickly took a look, and then took out a paste note from the belt clip, at first glance it was no different from the others, sealed the name of Gao Yue's judgment volume, and then nodded, and walked to the next book.

After all the judgment files of the selected people were collected, Ling Huxiang loudly asked the officials to enter the hall with the case, and continued to lock the hall, and he and Dong Jin and the four scribes had to review and determine the grading inside.

After speaking, Ling Huxiang and Dong Jin walked in front, and several court officials who held the case followed them slowly, and in the process of walking, some of the pasted notes on the judgment papers soon appeared a little blue and yellow under the sunlight, and these officials looked at each other, and quickly concentrated these judgment papers into the hands of one person: this skillful action was by no means practiced in a day, so that Ling Huxiang and Dong Jin did not notice it at all.

Soon in the locked hall, Ling Huxiang and Dong Jin continued to sit upright, chatting from time to time, the inspector and the clerks of the initial correction - the review of the equal judgment is similar to now, and the pen officials will correct it first, mainly to see whether the candidate's file has obvious hard injuries, and then hand it over to the examiner for final approval, Ling Huxiang and Dong Jin are now important officials, and naturally will not do such trivial things as reading the papers one by one.

In the piled up of judgment files, Xie Shanji's other cousin, Renji, quickly got Gao Yue's: it was another famous scrivener who quietly and quickly stuffed it from under the book case, and his identity was determined according to the number of spots on the name slip.

Xie Renji was originally an errand official in the house, but of course, under the operation of money, he was specially drawn to assist in the flat judgment of Nan Cao, the Ministry of Officials. He first opened Gao Yue's scroll, and sure enough, he found that although the two judgments were literally and logically acceptable, the "book" item was slightly lacking, and he quickly took out a copy of the identical white paper, and with lightning speed, he transcribed Gao Yue's judgment in a neat and neat small block paper, and then took out a normal paste paper and pasted it, stealing the beam and changing the pillar in one go.

Ling Huxiang and Dong Jin actually didn't know that these officials were doing private work, but the relationship between the officials and the officials was like this, so they could only turn a blind eye.

In the end, the scribes respectfully handed over the "excellent and superb" verdict file to Ling Huxiang's case.

Ling Huxiang tore open the paste notes on them one by one, and when he saw a "Gao", he smiled, his hand paused slightly, and then he unveiled it vigorously, and sure enough, it was Gao Yue's judgment paper.

Si Feng Langzhong took a look, and pushed it to Dong Jin beside him, Dong also read it carefully, then nodded and smiled, and also expressed his approval, and then Ling Huxiang lifted the Zhu pen, put a circle on Gao Yue's judgment, and then wrote: "Advance Shi Gao Yue...... Books, judgments can be entered into higher education, be careful.

Si Feng Lang Zhong Ling Hu Xiang Tai Chang Shaoqing Dong Jin"

In the afternoon, in the Nancao Middle Hall, Gao Yue and other candidates gathered again to be examined by the two examiners.

Naturally, there is no need to pay a bribe, Gao Yue can still reach the "passing line" in Xue Yaoying's eyes, and Ling Hu and Dong have no objections.

"A one-day protégé (the official selection usually only takes one day, so the selection of people calls themselves one-day protégés to the chief division) Gao Yue, Xie two chief directors Tao Zhu." Gao Yue replied loudly.

"Hmm." Dong Jin kept nodding his head, and Ling Huxiang was colder.

After judging their body and words, Ling Hu and Dong began to note the official positions they had awarded according to their respective results.

"Previously, the whole of Weinan County was deposed by the Holy Lord because of Qiulin's crime of destroying the fields and not reporting it, and the Holy Lord learned from the pain, and asked the outstanding people in the Ministry of Officials to directly send the important county of Chigi to serve as the lieutenant, with the word people, this Gao Yue according to my opinion, can it be noted as the lieutenant of Xunyang County, Jiangzhou?" When it was time to note Gao Yue's position, Dong Jin spoke first.

Xunyang County is under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou, for the tight county, here to be a county lieutenant can be said to be the ideal choice for many Jinshi.

Yes, the states of the whole country in the Tang Dynasty can be divided into eight grades: Fu, Fu, Xiong (Wang Boteng Wang Pavilion Preface called Xiongzhou Wulie is also), Wang, Tight, Upper, Middle, and Lower (Liu Changqing's Suizhou was subordinate to Xiazhou at that time); The counties are divided into ten grades, (most historical materials are simplified to seven grades), namely red, sub-red, ki, ci, wang, tight, upper, middle, lower, and lower. As for Ouyang Zhan's remark that "Chixian is only twenty, and ten thousand years are the most", it should be that the six Chixian counties and the fourteen sub-Chixian counties were merged.

Since the county is divided into ten classes, the rank of the county-level officials is of course different. For example, the county order of Chixian County is on the fifth grade, and the county lieutenants are all from the eighth grade; And the county order of Qi County can only be on the sixth grade, and the county lieutenant has become the ninth grade. As for the county lieutenant of Xunyang, he can only be from the ninth grade. In addition, the county-level organs of the Tang Dynasty also imitated the central system, with the county order as the mainstay, followed by the county and the main book, and the specific county affairs were divided into six Cao, Gong Cao, Cang Cao, Hu Cao, Bing Cao, Fa Cao and Shi Cao. However, it should be noted that only Chixian can be equipped with one county lieutenant per Cao, that is, six county lieutenants, while the second-class counties may have a total of two to four county lieutenants, which means that many county lieutenants of inferior counties need to be arrested by several departments together, such as the one of the lieutenants of the art of war, that is, you Bing Cao and Fa Cao are in charge together. As for the remote middle and lower counties, there may not even be a county lieutenant with a regular jinshi background, so they can only let the foreign officials, the inspection officials, and even the officials fill the position.

Dong Jin's plan was to ask Gao Yue to go to Xunyang County, Jiangzhou, to be a "sergeant lieutenant of the art of war", and the county's affairs such as catching thieves, military defense, and boats and bridges would belong to him alone.

This county lieutenant is from the ninth grade, considering that Gao Yue has the little bonus of Guozijian and Menyin, it is reasonable to award this starting official.

"Weinan County?" There was something in Ling Huxiang's words, which meant that since the Weinan County Public Mansion had collapsed and was deposed, Gao Yue would simply be sent to Weinan to be the county lieutenant.

"No, it's too off-limit!" Dong Jin hurriedly stopped, this Weinan county lieutenant can be a Jiupin official, and he whispered to Ling Huxian, "Next winter gathering, Zheng County Lieutenant Lu Jiu will come to the book to judge excellence, and this Weinan county lieutenant can be said to be specially reserved for him." ”

Hearing the name "Lu Jiu", even Ling Huxiang was solemn, and he dispelled the idea of overtaking Gao Yue.
