Emperor Chrysostom Yuya, he said last time that he would give Zhao Yuanxun an official position, so naturally he would not break his word.

Although the official positions of the imperial court are one radish and one pit, but if you sweep the corners, you can always find a few vacant petty official positions that are not in the stream or even eight or nine grades.

But after getting Zhao Zhiwei's new painting, Xiao Qi liked it more and more, and immediately felt that it was not appropriate to give Zhao Yuanxun the title of official.

You must know that Zhao Zhiwei's first painting, he spent 25,000 taels of silver to buy it. It's really embarrassing to give nothing to this one.

can give money, Zhao Zhiwei will definitely not dare to accept it. Reward, Kang Shilin has long said for his apprentices that he doesn't want those flashy things; Xiao Qi also did not have a suitable shop or Zhuangzi in his hands.

Moreover, even if there are shops and Zhuangzi, Xiao Qi can't be rewarded. The goal is too big, which is equivalent to Zhao Ruxi using paintings in disguise to exchange shops and Zhuangzi with the emperor. At that time, the courtiers must have a bad impression of her, thinking that she wants money to die.

When everyone didn't know about a painting, the emperor asked for 25,000 taels of silver, and the second painting still asked the emperor to reward the shop and Zhuangzi, which was simply frenzied, completely ungrateful, and blinded the emperor's grace to her and Suiping Bofu.

At that time, not only Zhao Ruxi, but also Kang Shilin will be criticized.

So whether it's money or things, it's not good to give.

After thinking about it, it will be better to give Zhao Yuanxun a better official position to express his heart.

Zhao Yuanxun originally did the miscellaneous duties in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, which belonged to the military position and had no rank. He is in poor health, and he can't do anything in the military position, so he can only transfer to civilian positions.

But civil officials above the seventh grade are not so easy to find. The magnates of various families are staring at it, and if there is a good vacancy, they will see the meat with the rats, and after some open and secret fighting, the vacancy will be filled. Most of the people who made up for it were also famous with Jinshi.

Compared with those fellow jinshi, Zhao Yuanxun is far behind in all aspects.

If this is the case, it is not very difficult for Xiao Qi. Anyway, the whole world is his, even if he asks the Ministry of Officials to get another official position, and let Zhao Yuanxun enter the yamen to just eat and not work, no one dares to say anything, and it is a big deal to be scolded for two sentences.

But he still has to consider the power of the princes' various factions.

Because of the relationship between the Jia family, Zhao Ruxi offended the prince. Because of the annual examination and painting competition, Concubine Jin was unhappy, and even the impression of the third prince on Sui Pingbo would not be good. If Zhao Yuanxun was sent to the yamen where they were to be an official, it would not be a reward for the Suiping Bofu, but a punishment.

Don't Zhao Yuanxun went to the yamen to hold it and make it difficult for Zhao Zhiwei, which went against the original intention of giving the official.

Xiao Qi asked Gonggong Xie to look for a long time, but he didn't find a place to settle down.

There is a six-grade civil vacancy here in Dali Temple, Zhang Changshen admires Zhao Zhiwei very much, and Wu Zong is Zhao Zhiwei's senior brother, which is a better position.

But a nobleman, who has neither meritorious service nor fame, is a man who has reached the sky from the seventh grade. The new first-class jinshi has to start from the seventh grade at the beginning, how can Zhao Yuanxun He De sit in the position of the sixth-grade official? Where is this scholar who has been admitted to the famous examination for ten years or a soldier who fought on the battlefield?

So he didn't get a satisfactory official position, so Xiao Qi delayed the matter.

In order to prevent Kang Shilin from getting angry in a hurry, he also specially asked the eunuch to go to Kang's mansion to explain the reason to Kang Shilin.

Kang Shilin expressed understanding.

As soon as this official position is given, if there is no other opportunity, Zhao Yuanxun may have to stay in that yamen until he is old. Official positions may rise by one and a half levels with seniority, but positions are not likely to move.

In this way, it is naturally best to go to a comfortable place, even if it is a year and a half to wait.

Now it's okay, as soon as Zhao Ruxi's textile machine came out, he made a lot of contributions, and no one dared to say anything to Zhao Yuanxun as an official from the sixth grade.

Compared with giving Zhao Ruxi his own official title, Xiao Qi felt that the courtiers were more willing to see Zhao Yuanxun go to Dali Temple to take up this civil service.

The eldest princess of Shangde didn't think that Zhao Yuanxun was rewarded with a six-rank official, so there was nothing to be happy about. She didn't mean to be here today.

"To put it mildly, Sui Pingbo is thirty or forty years old, and he has not achieved anything. Now that I rely on my daughter to get you a six-grade official, how much can he do in this life? This reward was given to him, and he was blind. Princess Shangde said.

"I think it's better to give this official position to Zhao Zhiwei, so that she won't have to work hard to start the county exam and want to take the exam. As a result, even if she is full of talent, because she is a woman, she can be trampled under her feet by any random person, and she has no chance of getting ahead at all. ”

"Huh?" Xiao Yu heard what was in her sister's words, raised her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

After asking this, he remembered: "By the way, I only finished the county exam now, right?" How? Someone is embarrassed to know? ”

The eldest princess of Shangde knows the essence of complaint.

She shook her head: "It's about the imperial examination, the foundation of the country, and I, the eldest princess, don't dare to say anything." The royal brother wants to know, and he will find out when he checks it. ”

After suing and applying eye medicine, the task of this trip was completed.

She saluted: "The imperial brother has a lot of opportunities, Shangde doesn't dare to delay the imperial brother too much, the imperial brother will go back to deal with government affairs." I had the loom dismantled and shipped back. ”

Xiao Qi also hoped that the eldest princess of Shangde would forget the loom here, so that he could summon the officials of the Ministry of Labor to take a look, study and study, and see how much influence this thing has on the Great Jin, and whether other places can learn from it.

Hearing that the eldest princess of Shangde was still bent on pulling the loom back, he could only give up.

He still had political affairs to deal with, so he raised his feet and walked out: "Okay, then I'll go." ”

When he returned to the main hall, he instructed Gonggong Xie: "Go check and see what happened to the county test in the capital Mansion Yin." Why did Shine say that? ”

Gonggong Xie also went to see the textile machine with Xiao Qi just now. He also heard the words of the eldest princess of Shangde.

Because of the painting, his good impression of Zhao Zhiwei is no worse than that of the emperor. For this reason, he was extremely concerned, and specially sent two capable guards to investigate the matter.

In less than half an hour, the imperial guard came back and said to Xiao Qi: "Zhiwei Jushi took the first place in the first game, the second place in the second game, and the seventh place in the third game. ”

"When the first list was announced, there were male candidates who made trouble and said they were not convinced. Jingcheng Mansion Yin simply posted all the test papers. There was not a single mistake or omission in the test paper of Zhiwei Jushi, which was much stronger than that of the second place, and those male candidates were silent. ”

As the emperor, Xiao Qi has never looked at things on the surface.

He touched his chin and asked, "The final ranking hasn't been announced yet, has it?" What ranking does Zhang Li plan to give Zhao Zhiwei? ”
