Yun Xi put down the book in his hand and said with a smile: "Aiqing is flat." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

After he stood up, Yun Xi also walked down and continued to smile and said, "Can you have dinner?" ”

"The minister hasn't had dinner yet." Xue Xiran bowed and replied.

"In that case, I'll accompany me to dinner." Yun Xi said.

Of course, Xue Xiran couldn't refuse, and went to the dining hall with Yun Xi.

Dinner had already been prepared in the imperial dining room, and the food was served as soon as it was ordered.

Yun Xi and Xue Xiran chatted while eating, Xi Ran casually talked about what he saw in Nanyang this time, and Yun Xi also said some things about Wenyuan and Wenqi, as if relatives of ordinary families were chatting.

Of course, the two of them couldn't keep chatting like this. Sure enough, after a while, Yun Xi suddenly asked, "Xi Ran, how do you feel in the water master?" Would you like to be a military general in the sailor all the time? ”

Xue Xiran had been thinking about why Yun Xi suddenly called him back from the Three Buddhas, but he couldn't think of the reason. At this time, when he heard Yun Xi's words, he had a faint guess in his heart, and said: "Where Your Majesty asked the minister, the minister will be there." ”

"Oh, in that case, you're among the sailors." Yun Xi said.

The reason why Yun Xi suddenly called Xue Xiran back from Nanyang was because Xue Xian had been in poor health recently, although Yun Xi had been hiding this matter from Xi Yao and Xi Yi sisters, but he was also worried that if he passed away, he would not see his eldest son for the last time before he died, so he called Xue Xiran back from Nanyang.

The second is the matter of the sailor. Compared with Lu Shi, the circle of the sailor is smaller, and it is more difficult for outsiders to fit in, and Yun Xi has felt that his control over the sailor is too weak until now.

So Yun Xi has always wanted to strengthen his control over the water master. It was easy to put a few generals in, but most of the generals in Yun Xi's hands were seasick, and it was useless to send them. At this time, Yun Xi remembered that He Rong praised Xue Xiran when he played the fold, saying that he had adapted very well on the boat, so Yun Xi decided to let Xue Xiran enter the sailor. And Xue Xiran has a special identity compared to the other generals in Yun Xi's hands, and his wife is from the military general's family of the Water Division, so the people of the Water Master will not reject him much, and it is more likely to achieve Yun Xi's goal.

Yun Xi continued: "It just so happens that there is a vacancy in the left guard of the sailor in the capital, and I will send you to fill this position. ”

"For you, the position of a thousand households is a little small, but it is not easy to have a vacancy in the water master, so I can only wronged you."

Xue Xiran had already understood Yun Xi's intentions at this time, and immediately said: "What grievances are there for serving Daming?" ”

Yun Xi is very happy, Xue Xiran is so obedient, it is worth cultivating! "Let's see if we can train him to be the supreme commander of the Great Ming Water Division," Yun Xi thought.

Yun Xi later chatted with Xi Yang about their second son, Xue Xi Yang.

Yun Xi said: "Xiyang is already fifteen this year, right? Your family asked him to take the civil official route, and it was best to take the imperial examination. Did you get off the scene? ”

In Yun Xi's conception, because the imperial examination does not test specific practical operations, but the imperial examination cannot be abolished, Yun Xi intends to make the officials elected by the imperial examination equivalent to the political officials elected by European and American countries in later generations. The civil officials who came up from Guozijian and other channels mainly held positions similar to those of the later European and American state affairs officials.

Of course, the specific operation still needs to be adjusted according to the specific national conditions of the Ming Dynasty, but the general policy is like this.

Therefore, Yun Xi naturally hopes that his brother-in-law can pass the imperial examination and become an official. Although in the early days of the establishment of this system, Guozi Jian students could also be promoted to senior officials, but it was best to pass the imperial examination. After all, the imperial examination is the fairest way, and if Xue Xiyang is an official through Guozijian, it is likely that he will always carry the name of 'Xingjin'.

Xue Xiran said: "Your Majesty, last year, the gentleman invited by the family said that the heat was not enough, so he did not participate in the county test. I'm going to give him a try this year. ”

Yun Xi instructed: "Be sure to let him study hard." In addition, your family must not engage in some crooked ways. There are no certain rules for the county test and the government test, and only the county order and the government are at their discretion, which makes it easier to cheat and more likely to make people suspect cheating. So I told my father-in-law not to do anything. Yun Xi has even decided to tell Ying Tianfu that even if Xue Xiyang's article is barely enough to be admitted, he cannot be admitted, and it must be an undisputed situation before he can be admitted.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xue Xiran said.

"Still, I won't ignore him. I wrote an edict allowing Xiyang to enter the palace at any time from tomorrow to ask the people of the Zhongshu House for teaching. Most of the people in the middle school around me were from the previous imperial examinations, and they are profoundly educated. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xue Xiran said happily. A few years ago, when Zhu Yuanzhang was in power, because the death rate of civil officials was not low, even Xiucai could be appointed as an official, let alone promote people. Therefore, even the gentlemen who can be invited by the family of the big officials are at most Xiucai. It was not easy for their family to invite a gentleman. This is still the special identity of this person who values their family, and Xue Xiyang really wants to be a civil official rather than just literate, so he is willing to teach.

Now Yunxi allows Xue Xiyang to ask the Jinshi beside him directly, which can be said to have given Xue Xiyang the most luxurious imperial examination teacher lineup in the Ming Dynasty.

Before leaving, Yun Xi asked Xue Xian's condition again: "Xiran, how is my father-in-law now?" ”

Referring to his father's illness, Xue Xiran's expression became not so happy, and said: "Your Majesty, Chenzhi's father's condition is finally better, and he doesn't have to lie on the bed all the time, but his body is still very weak. ”

"The doctor said that the cold entered the body when he was fighting everywhere, and when he was young, his body was not strong, but now he is too old to bear it, so he gets sick."

Yun Xi didn't understand the theory of Chinese medicine, and when he heard that the conclusion was better, he said: "Since it's better, it's good to raise it slowly at home." ”

"But even if you are recuperating, you can't always be stuffy in the house, although the weather is still a little cold, you can't always be stuffy, you can't go out and go around, and you can go around in the hall and other places."

And be sure to pay attention to ventilation, and don't leave too many people in the room. Light a stove in the gap between the windows and bake the fire. ”

Yun Xi paid special attention to ventilation, and all the rooms he had stayed in the palace were required to be ventilated in his absence, and Xi Yi was so weak after giving birth last year, he also forced him to pay attention to ventilation, which caused all the imperial doctors to slander and Xi Yao's worries.

Xue Xiran also knew Yun Xi's paranoid request for ventilation, so he didn't say anything, just bowed down and agreed.

Yun Xi patted him on the shoulder and said, "You must remember to listen to me, ventilation is good." Sooner or later, I'll get the rigid physicians to admit it. ”
