There has to be a suitable opportunity for this.

Of course, Luo Xin is not too anxious, after all, it is only March, even if Huang Taiji wants to attack Daming, it will take a few months after July.

It's just that a few months is not a long time, but it is not a short time, Emperor Jiajing did not go to the court at all, concentrated on cultivation, and the time of a few months will pass soon.

In this way, Luo Xin passed six days with some restlessness. When I came back from a party that day, I saw a carriage parked outside my house. Before Luo Xin could walk to the carriage, he saw the carriage door open, revealing Huang Jin's face from the inside, and beckoned to him. Luo Xin whispered to Zhou Yu and the others beside him:

"You go back first, I have something to do."

Zhou Yu and the others didn't know Huang Jin, they just glanced at Huang Jin and walked into the mansion one after another, Luo Xin came to Huang Jin and arched his hand:

"I've seen Huang Gonggong."

"Come up!" Huang Jin's body moved inside.

Luo Xin got into the car and sat opposite Huang Jin. The carriage began to move, and Huang Jin smiled:

"Congratulations."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Luo Xin said politely.

"Your Majesty wants to see you."

"What does Grandpa Huang know?" Luo Xin asked tentatively.

"This ......," Huang Jin was silent.

Luo Xin took out a bag of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Huang Jin, but Huang Jin groaned for a while, pushed the bag back with his backhand and said:

"Champion Lang, you just need to know that it's a happy event. This ......" Huang Jin stretched out his hand and pointed to the bag of silver in Luo Xin's hand and said:

"This is not necessary, our family only hopes that when we need Champion Lang in the future, we can help our family."

Huang Jin, who has been serving Emperor Jiajing, knows Emperor Jiajing's body best, and he already knows in his heart that Emperor Jiajing will not live long, once Emperor Jiajing dies, he Huang Jin may not be able to die a good death, and he values Luo Xin's future very much, so he released his goodwill to want to fellowship with Luo Xin.

Luo Xin, who knew history, thought about it for a while, and then understood Huang Jin's intentions, so he put away the money bag in his hand, and said with a smile on his face:

"Thank you, father-in-law."

After that, Huang Jin lowered his eyes slightly and stopped talking, and so did Luo Xin. There was silence in the carriage. Luo Xin was thinking in his heart that he would use this opportunity to meet Emperor Jiajing to tell the story of the grassland.

Before I knew it, the car stopped.

This time the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, Luo Xin came down to take a look, and knew that this time Emperor Jiajing did not want to see him secretly, it seems that Huang Jin's mouth said that the happy event, Emperor Jiajing did not hide the thoughts of the ministers. followed Huang Jin all the way to the outside of the imperial study, Huang Jin went in to report, and after a while, he came out to announce Luoxin and went in. Luo Xin walked into the imperial study and bowed on the ground:

"Minister, Luo Xin, meet Your Majesty the Emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

"Get up."

Emperor Jiajing's voice sounded from above, and after Luo Xin thanked him, he stood up and stood there with his head slightly bowed. Emperor Jiajing looked at Luo Xin and said:

"I named you Yang Linhou, I should have rewarded you with a mansion a long time ago, and now I will reward you with Yan Song's mansion."

Luo Xin is happy, that Yan Song's house is not small, this is definitely a great gift. Luo Xin didn't want to excuse such a thing, and immediately bowed:

"Your Majesty is grateful for your grace."

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

At this time, Huang Jin picked up a deed from the imperial book case and sent it to Luo Xin, Luo Xin took the deed and said with emotion in his heart:

"Brother also has a house, and it's a mansion."

"Luo Xin, what have you been doing lately?"

"Minister......," Luo Xin said with a somewhat impressive face: "It's just to play around and party with the same year." ”

"Hehe......" Emperor Jiajing smiled: "Youth! ”

Luo Xin's heart suddenly moved: "Your Majesty, when I was playing, I heard some things about the grassland from some merchants. ”

"Huh? Grassland? ”

Emperor Jiajing's brows furrowed, and Emperor Jiajing, who was most afraid of trouble, had a premonition that it was not a good thing as soon as he heard Luo Xin mention the grassland, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritable in his heart.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "According to those merchants, the grassland people are now hungry and poor, and they can't survive anymore. ”

Emperor Jiajing's frowning brows immediately relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face: "This is a good thing." But I haven't heard of a catastrophe on the grassland this year, how did they get to such a situation? ”

Luo Xin smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's all Weichen...... At the beginning, they killed too hard in the grassland, burned too hard, and killed their cattle, sheep and slaves. ”

"Hahaha...... Emperor Jiajing laughed heartily, stretched out his hand and pointed at Luo Xin, "Are you asking me for credit?" ”

When the words fell, his face sank and said: "Yan Song's house is not small, don't be too greedy." ”

"No, Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare. Instead, the minister smelled a hint of danger from here. ”

"Huh?"

Emperor Jiajing's expression became serious again, the current Emperor Jiajing did not dare to despise Luo Xin's words, after all, Luo Xin's military exploits were all made, and he could also be regarded as a generation of famous generals.

"Your Majesty, that's a pack of hungry wolves." Luo Xin said in a condensed voice.

Jiajing's gaze was fixed: "You mean they will jump off the wall in a hurry?" ”

Luo Xin nodded seriously and said, "The minister thinks that there will definitely be a big battle at the border pass this summer, and we need to prepare for it." ”

Emperor Jiajing's brows furrowed tightly, and after a moment, he said, "You retreat first, I have to think about this matter." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister retires."

Luo Xin exited the imperial study and walked towards the palace gate. Halfway down the road, I saw two people walking towards me, and when I looked at it, it turned out to be Gao Gong and Ma Fang, and I thought in my heart that this Ma Fang was allied with Gao Gong. After walking a few quick steps, he said to Gao Gong and Ma Fangshili:

"The students have seen Master Ma and Master Gao."

"Champion Lang!" A smile appeared on Gao Gong's face and said, "You just came from Your Majesty?" ”

"Yes, because the student is a Yang Lin Hou, His Majesty gave the student a mansion."

"Oh!" Gao Gong nodded and said, "This is also the meaning of the question." ”

Ma Fang looked at Luo Xin with a smile and said, "No, you have to remember that you also have an identity as a martial marquis." ”

Luo Xin saw Ma Fang, and his heart moved again: "Master Ma, I told Your Majesty just now that I doubt that the grassland tribes will attack Daming this summer. ”

"How is this possible?" Ma Fang said with a shocked expression.

Luo Xin's face showed a wry smile and said: "Now that the grassland is no longer hungry, many tribes are about to be unable to survive. ”

Ma Fang's eyes blinked, and he instantly understood the reason, he had also led a large army into the grassland and burned the grassland tribes to death, as a person who has been dealing with the grassland all year round, he knew the habits of the grassland people very well, and said with a slight mutter:

"No, it's just that this reason may not be able to form a large-scale war will, and small-scale looting, today's Ming officers and soldiers will make them suffer."

"Huang Taiji." Luo Xin softly spat out three words.

Ma Fang's face changed, and she realized something. Nodding towards Luo Xin, he said, "I understand, I will talk to Your Majesty." ”

After Luo Xin saluted Ma Fang and Gao Gong, he left the palace. I went straight back to the house. As soon as he returned to the house, Zhou Yu and others surrounded him.

"No, who is that person? Where have you been? ”

Luo Xin said with a bright smile on his face: "Let's go, I'll take you somewhere." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Just come with me."

Luo Xin took Zhou Yu and eight other people, and called Lu Yuan together, and took two carriages towards Yan Song's former mansion. The carriage stopped, Luo Xin and the others jumped down, and Zhou Yu looked at Yan Fudao:

"No, what are you doing here?"

Luo Xin took out the deed from his arms and said, "From today onwards, this mansion is mine." ”

"What?" The faces of the people were shocked.

"What's surprising?" Luo Xin said with disdain in his eyes: "Don't forget, I'm not just a champion, I'm also a Yanglin Hou, as a marquis, Your Majesty should give me a mansion." ”

"Show me!"

Zhou Yuyi snatched the deed in Luo Xin's hand, opened it, and shouted, "It's true." ”

"I'll see!"

"I'll see!"

“…………”

The deed was passed from one person's hand to another's hand, Lu Yuan was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, no one wanted to see the deed more than him, he was Luo Xin's big butler, and this was also his glory. Finally, the deed finally reached his hands, his hands were trembling with excitement, and when he read it carefully, he knelt on the ground with a "plop" sound, holding the deed with both hands, and was so excited that he burst into tears.

"Congratulations to Master Hou."

Luo Xin took the deed and put it in his arms, stretched out his hand to help Lu Yuan up, and said:

"Lu Yuan, follow me in and take a look, the next few **** will be busy, see what is missing in the mansion and buy it, and arrange the mansion as soon as possible."

"Yes, Master Hou!" Lu Yuan said excitedly, how to follow Luo Xin into the door in high spirits.

The time soon came to the end of the month, and the officials hung the distribution list of the new science and technology scholars on the wall outside the yamen, Luo Xin took a look, and the ranking after the court examination basically did not change, and it seemed that the results of the examination really represented everyone's knowledge.

The distribution is based on grades, and the grades are divided into four grades. The fourth-class jinshi will be assigned to the local and provincial yamen to govern the government, and if there is a vacancy in a county or official position of the same level, they will be assigned immediately. Such a seven-grade future is actually in hand, and the poor ones only need to wait for a while.

The treatment of the third-class jinshi is much stronger than that of the fourth-class jinshi, they do not have to be driven out of the capital to go to the place, but are sent to the six departments in the capital, the general administration department, and other important yamen to observe the government, and wait for the vacancy in the capital, and then immediately fill it and become a distinguished Beijing official. Of course, there are also those who can't wait for vacancies, or they don't have the patience to wait forever, and after waiting for a few years, they take the initiative to ask for the place to be released as the county magistrate of Qipin. But because they have been in the capital for several years, how can they accumulate some contacts, and the place where they take office is better than the place where the fourth-class jinshi took office, and the promotion is faster.

The second-class jinshi can enter the Hanlin Academy, but they do not go to the Hanlin Academy to become officials, but to study, that is, to continue their studies. This period is three years, during which they are taught by experienced officials within the Hallym Academy. Three years later, after passing the exam again, those with excellent grades will stay in the Hanlin Academy, and become officials of the Hanlin Academy like Luo Xin, Xu Shixing and Zhou Yu. Others were sent to the Six Ministries, or sent to various places to serve as magistrates.

There are only three people in the first class, that is, Luo Xin, Xu Shixing and Zhou Yu of Sanding Jia. The three of them went to the Ministry of Officials to register today, and then they could go directly to work in the Hanlin Academy.

this day.

Luo Xin and Zhou Yu left home and met Xu Shixing in front of the gate of the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, and then they first went to visit Guo Pu, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials. They all had a certain understanding of Guo Pu before, and knew that Guo Pu was an upright person, and he was also the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who had just taken office last winter.

The three of them entered the hall, and after greeting them according to the number of salutes, they stood there honestly, waiting for Guo Pu to speak. Guo Pu didn't smile, and he couldn't tell whether it was cordial or cold in his voice, but there was the majesty of a high-ranking official in his expression.

"Ten years of cold and bitter windows, once the world knows. A few days ago, the official had already congratulated you in the court, so I will not congratulate you today. ”

"Students don't dare." Luo Xin and the three of them hurriedly saluted and said.

A smile appeared on Guo Pu's face and said, "From today onwards, you should no longer call yourself a student, you are already an official." ”

The three of them saluted again, "Thank you, for your teachings." ”

"This is not a teaching, the following is a teaching." Guo Pu restrained that smile, and his face became majestic again:

"You started as a child, all the way to today's Jinshi, what you rely on is learning, as long as you have learned, you will be able to achieve today's achievements. However, from today onwards, if you want to go further in your career, or if you don't want to be dismissed from office, it is not only about learning, but also about your ability and morality. And between ability and morality, the most important thing is morality. ”

Guo Pu's gaze swept majestically over the three people standing in front of him, and he said in a somewhat cold voice:

"No matter how good a person's knowledge is and how strong his ability is, if his moral character is not good, even if he can get high-ranking officials in the future, he can only end up with a tragic end.

Don't say anything from afar, just talk about Yan Song, don't say anything else, just talk about his knowledge, even the official is deeply admired. He is also very capable. If it was a mediocre man who was incapable, His Majesty would not let him sit in the position of the head of the cabinet. However, it is because of his character that you all know the final fate, and Luo Xin you should know better. ”
