Chapter 407: Enko
After a short run-in, the government and the opposition have adapted to today's model, even if there are different opinions, there is no way to object, the emperor is only a three-year-old child, if he wants to be pro-government, it will take at least ten years. In other words, Han Fei's ruling power in the past ten years is unshakable, and the rise and fall of the powerful and the career of officials depend on Han Fei's face, who dares to make irresponsible remarks about him?
Time flashed to February, and ushered in the first major event of the new dynasty - Enke exam. The personnel in the examination are the officials of the future imperial court, and the chief examiner of the examination is the undergraduate teacher, which is a congenital alliance, so the chief examiner of the examination has always been the target of the bigwigs. According to the traditional practice, the chief examiner of the examination is generally produced among the scholars of the Ministry of Rites and the cabinet scholars, and the specific position is determined by the emperor.
This year is special, the emperor is only a three-year-old little doll, it is impossible to decide this matter, it should be decided by Jia Yuanchun, the Empress Dowager of the West Palace, but now Jia Yuanchun, the Empress Dowager of the West Palace, is too lazy to go to the court meeting, let alone hurt this brain, and the final decision is undoubtedly entrusted to Han Fei.
The government and the opposition are all concerned about this matter, and even people close to him rushed to the Han Mansion to inquire about the side, Han Fei knew the sensitivity of this matter, and strictly forbade the people in the palace to talk about such topics. Han Fu couldn't get the news, so some people moved their brains to Jia Mansion, after all, the Han and Jia families were one, and they hoped that the Jia family could ask Han Fei's intentions. In order to be able to select the chief examiner and the examiner, some people also went to Jiafu to have a relationship.
"Qi Yu is loyal to the Duke of the Kingdom, and the Marquis of Anyuan Jia Zheng asks to see you!"
In the imperial study, Han Fei sat on the bookcase on the side of the imperial case to review the folds, and when he heard the eunuch's report, he was stunned for a moment, his father went to the house to say that he had something to do, why did he rush to the imperial study today? "Please come in!"
Han Fei asked Jia Zheng to sit opposite the bookcase, and said strangely: "Father is here today?" ”
"My father just went to Cining Palace to visit the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and I came here by the way!" Jia Zheng coughed lightly and glanced left and right.
Seeing this, Han Fei retreated left and right, and said, "Father has something important?" ”
"It's Enke's business......" Jia Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "A few relatives have come to the house and want to ask you to be accommodating......
"Isn't this nonsense, Enke is a ceremony for the selection of talents by the imperial court, what a solemn thing, how can you give it to each other privately?" Han Fei had a calm face and said: "Father, I told you a long time ago that the Jia family is not talented, and the only way to convince people is to be virtuous, and you always take my words as a deaf ear!" The last time you were canonized, you came forward to ask for the decree, I don't think it had much impact on the court, so I agreed to you, and now you want to intervene in Enke, what do you want to do? ”
Jia Zheng said embarrassedly: "Fei'er, this matter really makes you embarrassed, and my father didn't want to ask about it, but these relatives are the closest relatives of the Jia family, and when the Jia family is in trouble, they all help each other, and this face can't be ignored!" Discuss it for the three of you, the eldest brother and the patriarch, or come and talk to you, take care of it as much as possible! ”
The Jia family is a hundred-year-old family, and the intertwined relatives have formed an interest group, and everyone helps at the critical time.
Han Fei sighed and said, "Who are they?" What is the character of the scholars who come to the exam, and what kind of results do you want? ”
"There are three people, two are relatives, one is a side branch of the Jia family, there is no problem with character and learning, the three of them have good results in the township examination, one of them is still the second place in the township examination, and they have been inspected by their fathers, and they will not tell you if they are too bad, they hope to get the Jinshi!"
"The results of the township test are good, and there is the second place in the township test, there should be a great hope of being selected, why bother so much?"
"Who can say the exam accurately, don't they hope to pass the exam this time? Fei'er, these people are all close to the Jia family, and they can also be your helpers in the future, you see? ”
"Leave their information behind!" Han Fei sighed: "Father, I hope this is the last time, you also have to consider the difficulties of the Queen Mother and me, don't interfere in the government anymore, leave someone to speak, now that the king is about to rebel, the political situation is unstable, if our family wants to be rich for a long time, we must set an example!" ”
"Fei'er, for the father to understand, it's not that he can't push it off, and he won't come to you! This time, the examiner and the same examiner, have you decided? ”
"I haven't made a final decision yet, I wonder what rumors are out there?"
"It is expected that the chief examiner this time will either be Du Xianggong, the first assistant of the cabinet, or Xu Wen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and these two people have the closest relationship with you...... Fei'er, according to the etiquette system, the hospital will be locked tomorrow, it's time to make up your mind! ”
"Father, I have made a decision on this matter, you continue to urge the production of new firearms, ensure that there are no problems with the supply of weapons and ammunition during the counterinsurgency, and whether the imperial court can turn the crisis into peace is the key to the key!"
"Fei'er rest assured, my father knows the importance of this, there is nothing else, I have gone out for my father!"
Han Fei looked at his father's back and sighed secretly, these people in the Jia family are always uneasy, and they change their methods to reward and power.
According to the convention, tomorrow the Gongyuan will lock the courtyard, and Han Fei doesn't want to break this tradition, but the examiner can't make up his mind for a while, Du Yun's power is already very strong, and he was excluded by him first, as for Xu Wen, the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he is still a little weaker, even if he is given this opportunity, it is difficult to form an influential mountain.
Han Fei pondered for a moment and shouted, "Please come to discuss the matter!" ”
Jiang Feng, the second assistant of the cabinet, rushed to the imperial study, and Han Fei said straight to the point: "Jiang Xianggong, the queen mother and this seat want to ask you to be the chief examiner of this Enke examination, what do you think?" ”
The examiner is not only an honor, but also an opportunity to gather forces, Jiang Feng already had a premonition when he heard that Han Fei had summoned him today, and when he heard Han Fei's appointment in person, he was even more overjoyed, and hurriedly gave a deep salute and said: "Weichen thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother and the Duke of Zhongguo, and I will go all out to do a good job in this imperial court selection ceremony!" ”
"Jiang Xianggong's character and ethics are famous all over the world, and the Queen Mother and this seat can be trusted, but this time Enke is the first imperial examination since the emperor succeeded to the throne, and it must be successfully completed!"
"Weichen remembered the instructions of the Duke of Zhongguo, and decided to enter the Gongyuan tonight!"
"Very good, the candidate for the same examiner has also been selected, you can enter the Gongyuan after a little preparation!"
"Wechen obeys!" Jiang Feng suddenly saw a piece of paper on Han Fei's book case that seemed to have a person's name written on it, his heart moved, and he bowed down and said, "If there is anything difficult about the Duke of Zhongguo, Weichen is willing to serve!" ”
Han Fei picked up the paper on the bookcase and sighed: "This is just sent by my father, they are all relatives, which makes this seat very embarrassed!" ”
"Loyal to the country, can you let Weichen take a look?"
Jiang Feng took the paper handed by Han Fei, glanced at it hurriedly, remembered the names of the three people, returned the paper, and said with a smile: "Zhongguo Gong, these three Weichen happen to know each other, and they are excellent in character and learning, and they will definitely be able to Enke High School!" ”
Han Fei knew that Jiang Feng understood his mind, so he said: "It depends on their talents, whether they are outstanding in learning, it is good to have a medium!" ”
"Wechen understands!"
