Chapter 19: The Back Door (I)
A few hours ago, on the other side of the Shangshu Mansion, Jiang Shangshu was pacing in the study very annoyed because of the Spring Festival. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although according to the law, in order to avoid suspicion, the examiners of Chunyu Dabi will be admitted to the Tribute Yuan the moment they get the appointment certificate, and they should not be too entangled in such mundane things as handing notes through the back door.
But there are always some rumors in advance, which officials of the Ministry of Rites are the examiners of this Chunyu Dabi, and which bachelors of the Hanlin Academy are the same examiners, and they can generally be inquired about by people who are interested.
Even if the examiners and examiners in charge of Chunfu do not intend to use this for personal gain, they always can't hide from the outstretched hands of the powerful people of the family, and they have to do some dirty things to deceive and conceal them.
A few years ago, it was quite good, although he Jiang Yinjiang Taiyue was the right servant of the third grade, but because he was a member of the former dynasty, and he did not have much contact with the family magnates of the Zhou Dynasty, it was not his turn to go through the back door, so most of the doors could not go to his side.
But this year's Spring Festival, he was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he was the president of Dabi, even if he wanted to escape from this list, he couldn't escape it.
This outside is recursively delivered, in the final analysis, it still can't get around him, and the families of all parties have divided the rankings of the big competition and compiled them into a list, and in the end they still need to nod their heads from the Ministry of Rites.
He had heard about the cats in the field when he was in the last spring, but because he was not involved in many things, the number of people who knew about it was not much, so he didn't care too much. The families put their hands in to install some of the powerful children of their own clan, which has been a common practice for so many years.
The cat in this spring is greasy, how to hand the slips, paste the life, and copy it, from beginning to end it has been made into a skilled worker, and he Jiang Taiyue can only turn a blind eye.
I didn't care too much about it, but this year I became the president of Chunyu Dabi. In the past few days, Jiang Shangshu has seen a steady stream of visitors, and Jiang Shangshu has realized that his understanding of the degree of corruption in the field is still too shallow.
Jiang Shangshu has been in a very bad mood these days, and he privately inquired about several students on the list, and found that they were all mediocre people, and they didn't have much talent to learn, so he was very unhappy in his heart.
In the past two years, His Majesty's sideburns have gradually turned white, and all forces have started to accumulate strength.
It is difficult for talented people to have a way out, and even several pedantic Confucians in the court and the central government have handed themselves a note.
However, the note they handed over was fine, and the name on it, Jiang Shangshu, was also a little unheard of.
Jiang Taiyue's temperament of these people is clear, and the people recommended are all students with real talents. This is not a strip, just let yourself pay attention, don't let those profit-hungry magnates divide the quota to be erased.
This article is naturally easy to hand, just write a few names and send it over, forgive him for a weak former courtier, and he will not dare to be disobedient.
It's just that the number of people handed over to the door after this spring is too much, and there is an endless stream of people greeting him, Jiang Shangshu's face is getting worse and worse, and the number of people set today has exceeded eighty percent of the total number, which makes Jiang Taiyue really feel a headache.
In the final analysis, this is the courtiers uniting to fool His Majesty, and it is a crime of deceiving the king to say that it is ugly. It's a bit hard to do that.
But if you want to eliminate some places, there are many doorways among them. Looking at the long list in his hand, who can't move and who can move. If you want to move, how to move, there are rules here, and it is not the president of Chunfu who has the final say.
And Jiang Shangshu is really not good at these doorways, so as the spring season approaches, there are more people who walk the doorway, and his heart is extremely irritable.
Jiang Shangshu was pacing in the study, like an ant on a hot pot. There's a little guy knocking on the door to report.
"Master Jiang, ..... outside the house"
"No, no, no!" , Jiang Shangshu flicked his sleeves and interrupted extremely impatiently, "Let's just say that I am in poor health and can't see guests today!" ”
The list of spring is set eighty percent, and there are still people who continue to come to the door? So what is this spring big comparison? What else should I be as the president of Chunfu? It's better to directly let these powerful children enter the palace to participate in the palace test.
Jiang Shangshu thought very angrily, and he didn't know how the previous boss survived. If you have to play Tai Chi with these powerful families every Spring Festival, you will be angry to death if you are not tired to death.
"My lord....", the little guy looked embarrassed, how dare he refuse the master outside? Outside, it was the prince of King Ye, the commander of the Fourteen Guards of the Forbidden Army.... It's not okay if you don't see it......."
His own adult joined the Ministry of Rites a few years ago, and it was Ye Wangye's mouth that he opened, and no one else could see him, but this henchman of His Majesty, Ye Wangshizi, who was in charge of the forbidden army in the capital, could not let him eat behind closed doors.
I heard that it was the little prince who had seen many times in Yecheng over the years, Jiang Shangshu was first Weizheng, and the prince of Ye Wang has always been directly under His Majesty, and he only does things for His Majesty.
I haven't heard of any scholar he is friends with, so why did he suddenly come to visit at this point in time?
I was very puzzled and went out to greet him, and as soon as the little prince met, he bowed slightly, "Sir." This courtesy made Jiang Shangshu feel that he had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.
The little prince didn't know that Jiang Shangshu was very annoyed at this time because of the matter of Chun Yu's handing over the note, and after the two of them took their seats, they chatted with each other.
After a long time, the tea was almost drunk, and the two plates of delicate little pastries were eaten clean.
After talking about the recent situation, talking about the past of Yecheng, and chatting about the recent situation of Ye Wangye and the beautiful scenery near Yecheng, there was really no topic.
The little prince and Jiang Shangshu stopped at the same time, and the atmosphere was a little delicate.
The little prince was very anxious at this time, and more than an hour had passed, and the order promised by the prince had still not come. However, Mr. Jiang's son, Jiang Ling, has returned.
If you want to complete the prince's task, you can't say anything at the moment, you can only live here.
But I really can't find a topic. If you talk about that Xiaolin Gongzi, it is estimated that you can still talk for an hour or two, but you came here to hide this matter, how can you mention it?
The atmosphere in the field was very embarrassing, and the little prince silently sipped the tea cup in his hand for the sake of the wine account over the years, and he had the posture of drinking a cup of tea for two hours.
Jiang Shangshu was extremely puzzled, this family often talked about it almost, and the friendship of previous years was also talked about all over again, why did they come, and they were so ashamed to say it when they handed over the note at the end?
Which student in this world can invite this son of the world to come to the door?
When the atmosphere in the field was extremely embarrassing, the little guy outside the door came to report, "Lord Jiang, the prince asks to see."
