At the end of the meeting, Su Hanzhen returned to his assassination room, and when he walked to the door, Xu Yuan stopped him, "Master Su! ”

Su Hanzhen stopped and smiled slightly: "Is there anything else to do with Changshi?" ”

"Regarding some details of the candidacy of the head of Tocao this time, I would like to discuss it with the adults again."

"Xu Changshi, please come in, come to the house and talk!"

The two walked into Su Hanzhen's room, the two sat down separately, and a servant served them tea, Xu Yuanxian said with a smile: "Lord Su's father is the old man of the country's priest Su Ge!" ”

"Yes! Does Xu Changshi know each other? ”

"I've seen it, I'm a Jinshi for 20 years of Zhenye, and that year it was Su Ge Lao who was the chief examiner, he was very strict when he inspected the examination room, but he didn't show favoritism, and he left a very deep impression on us scholars, I don't know how he is doing now?"

Su Hanzhen sighed slightly, "My father is now old, his health is not as good as before, and he is often sick, which makes me worry about it all the time. ”

"Yes! Not being able to fulfill filial piety in front of your parents is also a great misfortune in life. ”

"Hmmm! Where is Xu Changshi from? Can the Lingzun Lingtang be safe? ”

"I am from Jiangning Mansion, my father died three years ago, my mother is still in my hometown, raised by my eldest brother, I went to Jiangning a few years ago, mainly to visit my mother."

The two talked very tacitly, and seemed to have forgotten the power struggle between each other, or Su Hanzhen returned to the topic first, "Xu Changshi said just now, come to me to discuss the details of the candidacy, what do you mean exactly?" ”

Xu Yuan took out a plan and spread it on the table, "That's right, according to the original plan, the first test will be held in the county office, and the second round of re-examination will be held in the county office, but I take into account that the county government is too small, and there are many officials, and they have to work every day, coming and going, and there will be some unnecessary incidents. ”

Su Hanzhen stroked her long beard lightly and asked quietly: "Why didn't Xu Changshi bring it up at the meeting just now?" ”

"Lord Su!" Xu Yuan stared into Su Hanzhen's eyes, "I, like adults, hope that this election can be fair and just, not only responsible for the three families, not only responsible for the millions of people in Donghai County, but also for the future cooperation between you and me, I don't want to leave any unpleasantness in the future, or we have a problem with each other, so fairness and justice are the best choice for both of us." ”

Su Hanzhen nodded, "Lord Xu is right, I agree!" ”

"So I don't want others to stir up the situation, especially a certain person, who is greedy and excessive, for his own selfish interests, he does not hesitate to sabotage this election of the head of the household, so that our county government will suffer a scandal, to be honest, I am extremely dissatisfied with him, and I also hate him very much, if I had just said it at the meeting, I would have found a new opportunity for him."

Speaking of this, Xu Yuan looked at Su Hanzhen and smiled meaningfully, "Lord Su may not know that Huangfu Weiming's clan brother Huangfu Zhuoqi is a county lieutenant in Haiyan, and his official is Huangfu Qu bought it for him, in the first two years, the children of the Huangfu family committed an accident, they will immediately say, we are the clansmen of the county prince, and then Huangfu Qu came to oppress the county government to release people, they have a close relationship, everyone in Donghai County knows, and everyone knows the county government, adults can find someone to ask, although the adults recommended Huangfu Weiming, But it is also difficult to guarantee that Huangfu Qu will not make small moves against the Huangfu family behind his back, adults should be careful! ”

This is psychological warfare, Xu Yuan never mentioned Huangfu Weiming, but he told Su Hanzhen sideways that there was an unusual relationship between Huangfu Qu and the Donghai Huangfu clan, which cast a shadow on Su Hanzhen's heart, he was completely truthful, and even deliberately weakened, once Su Hanzhen went to ask the people in the county government, it would leave a worse impression on him.

Su Hanzhen remained silent, and said with a slight smile: "I understand Xu Changshi's kindness, so if you don't take the exam in the county office, where is it more appropriate?" Can Xu Changshi recommend one? ”

"Actually, you can study in the county or the county, and the adult is the chief official of the assassination, of course, it is up to the adult to decide."

Su Hanzhen thought for a while, "Then let's learn in the county!" ”

"Good! Then we decided to study in the county, this is one of them, the second is the chief examiner, originally scheduled to send the exam papers to Jiangning Mansion to ask Yang Xuezheng to judge, but after the Ma Jixiang incident, I was a little uneasy in my heart, one is that the distance is too long, I am worried that there will be an accident on the road, and secondly, the time is also long, it is inevitable that there will be some unnecessary interference, so I suggest that it be changed to Donghai County, and judge on the spot, what do you think? ”

In fact, this is also what Su Hanzhen is a little worried about, although Yang Xuezheng of Zhou Xue is very upright, but Jiangning Mansion is Uncle Shen's old nest, and the new Shaoyin of Jiangning Mansion is Uncle Shen's brother, and the Shen family has a lot of power in Jiangning Mansion, as Xu Yuan said, it is difficult to ensure that there are no problems in the intermediate links.

Su Hanzhen readily agreed, "I'm in favor of being local, and I'm also in favor of grading on the spot, I don't know who is more suitable for the exam?" Does Xu Changshi have any recommendations? ”

Xu Yuan smiled, "I'm a stakeholder, how can I recommend it, it's not up to me and Master Su to jointly elect one, it's fairer." ”

He took out a list and handed it to Su Hanzhen, "This is a list of famous Confucians in Donghai County, and we can select a person with higher prestige to serve as the chief examiner." ”

Su Hanzhen took the list, there were twenty or thirty people on the list, but most of them he didn't know, he pointed to the first person and smiled: "This Qi Kaifu is a professor of county studies, and my father also mentioned him, saying that he has high attainments in scriptures, and most of his students can be admitted to the Ming classics ......"

Without waiting for Su Hanzhen to finish speaking, Xu Yuan vetoed, "My lord, I'm sorry, this Qi Kaifu can't do it, he is Huangfu Weiming's father-in-law." ”

This Su Hanzhen didn't know, he smiled, "It's not appropriate." ”

He saw the second person, Jun Xuezheng Jia Siwen, this person he not only knows, but also very familiar, is his father's subordinate, the two families have a close relationship, once served as the Guozijian Division, is second only to his father of the high-ranking official, but also the academic champion of the Daning Dynasty, his father admires this person's knowledge very much, retired two years ago and Pingjiang County's hometown, and is now employed as Donghai County Xuezheng, Su Hanzhen went to visit him on the day he took office.

This person did not participate in the party struggle of the imperial court, but he was also a good candidate, but Su Hanzhen did not bring it up immediately, and continued to look down, there are three other people he also knows, but they all have flaws, either their academic prestige is not enough, or they are too close to Xu Yuan, which is not appropriate, and he doesn't know the rest of the people.

His gaze returned to Jia Siwen, and he smiled at Xu Yuan: "I propose that Jia Xuezheng be the chief examiner, what does Xu Changshi think?" ”

Xu Yuan hesitated, he thought about it, and then cautiously tested Su Hanzhen, "Of course this Jia Xuezheng is good, but he is a little older, my lord, I think the third person, Bai Jinsong, the deputy head of the county school, has both qualifications and prestige, and he is a local, he is young and strong, and he has nothing to do with the two of us, why not consider him?" ”

Su Hanzhen secretly sneered in her heart, this Bai Jinsong didn't seem to have anything to do with Xu Yuan, but before he came to Donghai County to take up his post, his father told him that this Bai Jinsong's younger brother Bai Qingsong and Xu Yuan were fellow scholars in the same department, and the two of them studied in Jiangning Prefecture for ten years, and they studied with the same person.

sneered in his heart, Su Hanzhen's face was not revealed, and he still smiled and said: "Lord Xu's words are not right, this has nothing to do with being old, and it is not exhausting for the three people's examination papers, why should Jia Xuezheng be, he is a county Xuezheng, and his name is right, since the long history is for me to decide, then I decided to use Jia Xuezheng as the main exam, so it is decided!" ”

Su Hanzhen didn't notice that behind Xu Yuan's helpless expression, there was a faint flash of indescribable cunning.

．．．．．．．．

Back in the long history room, Xu Yuan finally couldn't hold back the pride and excitement in his heart, he paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, he had succeeded for most of the time, this time he was fighting for the head of Cao, not only he was fighting with Su Hanzhen alone, in fact, Uncle Shen Guo has been supporting him behind his back, including all kinds of requests he put forward, Uncle Shen Guo has helped him do it.

At the beginning, he also proposed to be judged by Yang Xuezheng, a state school, which was an introduction he deliberately buried, he knew that Su Hanzhen would definitely oppose it, so he had been waiting for the opportunity to bring it up, this time Huang Jun attacked Ma Jixiang, it was the best opportunity to come, he took the opportunity to give up Jiang Ning's judgment, and changed it locally, Su Hanzhen readily agreed, and then he invited Jun into the urn step by step, and even the Bai Jinsong he threw out was just a blind thing he prepared in advance.

In the end, Su Hanzhen finally took the bait, he knew that Su Hanzhen never dreamed that that Jia Siwen didn't seem to have anything to do with Uncle Shen Guo, and it seemed to be the most beneficial to him Su Hanzhen, but in fact, a month ago, Xu Yuan began to secretly contact this person, there is no one in the world who has no weaknesses, and this Jia Siwen is no exception.

Xu Yuan immediately made a move, called one of his henchmen forward, and whispered to him, "You go to Xuezheng Mansion immediately and tell Jia Xuezheng that Master Assassin Shi has decided to make him the chief examiner, and you tell him that according to my prior agreement with him, his son's official appointment will be sent from Jiangning Mansion as soon as tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ”
