Two days later, Ji Ning finally received a reply from Li Xiu'er. Eight? One? Chinese net? ≥≠≈．≥８＝１≤Ｚ＝≈．ＣＯＭ

The letter was delivered back through Nalan Blowing Snow, who found the letter at the place where the letter was delivered that day, and brought it back and delivered it to Ji Ning.

At this time, Ji Ning had already moved to a new home, and Nalan Chuixue was also allowed to enter Ji Ning's house during the day to discuss some things with Ji Ning.

But she is still used to walking at night, this time she sent a letter, and she still broke into Ji Ning's house at night, but fortunately, she didn't go to stun Yuling and Lin Juan'er.

“…… I should have brought it, I brought it too, is there anything else? Nalan asked Blowing Snow.

Ji Ning read the letter, and on the letter, Li Xiu'er seemed very cautious, and just said that there were some things that could be discussed in person, but because Li Xiu'er couldn't leave the Li Mansion casually, according to Li Xiu'er's meaning, she was going to take the maid out and talk to Ji Ning a few days later, taking advantage of the celebrations in the city.

Because the font on the letter is not the same as the font of "Su Pujia" before, Ji Ning did not suspect that Li Xiuer was "Su Pujia" for the time being.

He looked up at Nalan Blowing Snow and said, "There is still a letter here, you send it to the princess's mansion, and when you see the princess, remember to tell the princess that what she entrusted me to do is unlikely to be completed for the time being, let her wait first......"

"What does the princess want to do?" Nalan Fuxue asked curiously.

Ji Ning said: "What the princess wants to do involves military affairs, can you not ask or don't ask, and then the princess will help you take revenge!" ”

Nalan Chuixue didn't have much of an idea about revenge, Ji Ning said that it would be whatever it was, she nodded and said, "Then I'll go first!" ”

After Nalan Fuxue left, Ji Ning took the letter written by Li Xiu'er and always felt that something was wrong.

But because there are many things that he can't solve at the moment, he can only put this matter into consideration after he officially meets Li Xiu'er......

……

……

On April 13, the examination for the Bachelor of Literature apprenticeship ended.

This time, the Confucian Temple has added a total of 21 trainee bachelors, in addition to Ji Ning, the new champion of the new department, who is directly shortlisted, there are also three retired ministers in the court who have been directly added to the bachelors, and the remaining 17 new trainee bachelors, 16 of whom are former Jinshi.

That is to say, among the sixty or seventy people who participated in the Confucian Temple Undergraduate Examination, only one person was successfully admitted, and this person was already in his thirties, named Zhang Lu, and he did not have much contact with Ji Ning.

Ji Ning only knew that this record seemed to belong to the Hejian School and belonged to the northern students.

After the examination of the apprenticeship bachelor, on April 15, Ji Ning can officially report to the Temple of Literature and put down his errands.

According to Ji Ning's previous investigation, about ten of them will stay in the capital for a few years of cultivation, and the remaining ones will be directly transferred to the local area to serve as the head of the local Confucian Temple, or a bachelor.

Even if Ji Ning was born as a champion, he also started from the bottom in the Temple of Literature, and he didn't have any proud capital.

The day after the apprenticeship exam, on April 14, Tang Xie and Han Yu also had news that they were on an errand in the court, and the imperial court was ready to release a batch of official vacancies on April 15, which was formally appointed by the Ministry of Officials.

At noon on April 14, the three of them had dinner in a wine shop.

Tang Xie smiled and said: "It seems that the days when we get together in the capital are getting together is getting less and less, this time I and the public station have already sorted out the relationship between the upper and lower levels, the magistrate of Jianghe County belongs to the relatively large county seat in Jiangbei, this is where I want to go." As for the Gongtai side, it is going to Zhongliu County, and the distance from Jianghe County is not far, and it is all in Zhongyuan Province...... Yongning, do you want to stay in the capital over there, or do you want to put it somewhere? ”

Ji Ning shook his head and said, "I'm different from you, I haven't heard any news yet!" ”

"Ha, Yongning, in fact, if you stay in the imperial court, you should have a greater future, with your talent and ability, so many people appreciate you, why do you have to enter the Temple of Literature as a hard errand?" Tang Xie said a little incomprehensibly.

Ji Ning smiled: "Everyone has their own ambitions!" ”

Tang explained: "Alas! You know it's useless to talk too much, and you won't listen. By the way, Yongning, this time there is an interesting thing to tell you, do you know, in the past, many people were active in the magistrate of the local county, and even spent more money for it, but after this palace test, the most popular errand that all the Jinshi ran for was actually in the sixth department, and now a treasurer of the household department of the eighth grade, there are actually people to rob it, this kind of errand was originally let people to be done, even people don't like to be it, after all, in charge of the warehouse, want to embezzle are the above things, all the accounts are very clear, Once there is a shortfall, you have to find a way to make up for it...... This year, there is an official vacancy like the treasurer of the household department, and many jinshi are fighting, and I heard that for such an official vacancy, if you don't come up with 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver to run, you can't get it at all! ”

Ji Ning had already heard Tang Xie and Han Yu talk about these things before, and he had also mentioned this matter in his previous meeting with Zhao Yuanrong and in his letter to Zhao Yuanrong.

Han Yu asked, "Yongning, do you know why?" ”

Ji Ning said frankly: "Actually, it's very simple, now the forces in the court are vying for the position of the core of power, after the rebellion of Uncle Li and King Hui ended without a problem, the prince's power has grown, and there are still secret forces who want to replace it, so they must seek errands from the three provinces and six departments, and the official vacancies released are not so important." This is probably also the reason why all the six ministries in the capital are nervous! ”

Tang Xie hesitated: "Listening to Yongning say this, it seems to make a lot of sense, could it be that we are fighting for the release of Zhixian County, and it is wrong to fight for it?" ”

"That's right." Ji Ning said, "The obvious problem is that if you go to the place, you can avoid the power struggle in the capital, if you stay in the capital, you must also choose the camp prematurely, and a new science and technology scholar like us, in the case of not getting a key official vacancy, no one will win over at all, no matter which side gains power, he will become a victim, so why not go to the place to serve, you can do what you want to do far away from Emperor Shangao?" ”

Tang Xie slapped his thigh and said: "Or Yongning, you can see it thoroughly, Yongning, you chose to enter the Temple of Literature, this should be the reason, right?" ”

"Hmm." Ji Ning nodded, which was an acknowledgement.

Tang explained: "Yongning is still too cautious!" ”

Han Yu said with a smile: "Since the price of the county magistrate released this time is not very high, Ziqian and I will also go to the local government to take up a post, after a few years, we will strive to be able to mix a general judgment, and mix for a few more years, hoping to serve in the prefect, ha, when we meet again in the capital more than ten years later, maybe Yongning is already a university scholar, and we are also the hall officials of the sixth department!" ”
