Xiaomei's tears finally flowed down, and they fell to the ground like pearls.

Ouyang Shu also felt a sadness in his heart. Speaking of which, this Xiaomei is also an innocent woman, but, probably for the sake of livelihood, she married a eunuch. Originally, she thought that this life would pass like this, and she also accepted her fate. I don't want a man in my life to be gentle and considerate to her and sweet to her. How can a person like her, who has never experienced the love between men and women, resist the onslaught of a veteran of the carnival like Morxiang? In fact, Morxiang's methods may not be clever, and his words may not be sweet, but he is only able to deal with a rookie like Xiaomei who longs for love and does not know what love is. It can be imagined that Morxiang's heart and later death were a huge blow to Xiaomei.

However, sympathy is sympathy, in order to solve the case, many cruel realities, Ouyang Shu must completely uncover them.

Everyone may be speculating, who is that woman? The official can tell everyone with great certainty that it is none other than the deceased Dongxue!

Everyone exclaimed, and at the same time, they all turned their eyes to Xiaomei, wanting to get proof from her. It's just that Xiaomei kept crying in a low voice, but she didn't raise her head. However, since Xiaomei has not denied it, everyone knows that this is most likely true sometimes.

At this moment, Mrs. Hao suddenly stood up and shouted: Li Xianzun, Ouyang Shu, you are enough! You are just talking nonsense here, and you want to insult my family members wantonly, and the most unbearable thing is that you will not even let go of the dead. Don't you know how to accumulate some virtue and save some blessings for future generations?

Ouyang Shu said coldly: Madam doesn't have to be excited, it's better to sit down and listen to me. Seeing that Mrs. Hao did not mean to sit down, but made a gesture to come this way, Ouyang Shu made a gesture decisively, and immediately two officials rushed forward, dragged Mrs. Hao, and pressed her back into her own chair.

The official just wants to find out the facts, as for the mouth. This official has a sentence that is not very good: the facts are not dirty, and a mouth that relays the facts will not be dirty!

An event that was destined to shock the government and the opposition and leave a mark in the history books of the Great Song Dynasty was born. The waves were not shocked like a pool of spring water, and in the whole process, except for the thankful voices of the two ministers who were in diametrically opposite moods, there was no sound at all in the huge Wende Palace.

After everyone returned to their positions, Zhao Xu coughed for a while, and then said with a flushed face: Regarding the selection and replacement of the new science and technology jinshi, is there any division and arrangement?

Since the reform of Yuanfeng, the civil official interpretation of the Song Dynasty was mainly carried out by the Zhongshu Province and the Ministry of Rites. Among them, the Ministry of Officials is responsible for the interpretation and selection of officials below Dali and below the lower ranks, from the sixth rank official to the ninth rank official, all of which are in charge of the Ministry of Officials. The first nine products are in charge of the servants. The Ministry of Officials has set up sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth grade rooms, and each room is in charge of the promotion and assessment of officials of this grade.

And the first time the new science and technology jinshi was conferred, it happened to be between the sixth and ninth grades, so the one that Zhao Xu said was actually the ministry he was referring to. However, for such a major matter, although the person directly responsible for it is the head of the ministry, everyone knows that what Zhao Xu asked was actually the secretary of the ministry, Xu Jiang himself.

General Xu calmly stepped out of the ranks, held the wat board, and bowed down and responded: Your Majesty, now there are quite a lot of officials in the Great Song Dynasty, and because the new science and technology scholars must be awarded special positions such as shogunate officials and trial titles and county magistrates, it is difficult to take charge of the board of directors while taking up their posts, while learning the experience of the directors. Therefore, I am afraid that many Jinshi need to wait for a period of time, and if there are vacancies in these positions, they will be filled. Among them, officials who have already been awarded official positions and who come to participate in the scientific examination again this time can be promoted to a certain extent on the basis of their original posts and then immediately conferred on them. At this time, it is huge, but the officials are already arranging, and I believe that the results will come out soon.

The scientific examination of the Great Song Dynasty, of course, has a lot of references, in fact, many officials who are not on the right path of the scientific examination or who have a relatively low reputation at the beginning will refer to it. For them, if they fail the exam this time, they can return to their original official position and continue to work as errands, and if they do well in the exam, it is equivalent to one more chance of promotion, why not!

Xu Jiang spoke clearly, and he was also very clear about the progress of the work of the department, coupled with his clear speech and clear voice, which really made people feel very comfortable to listen to. Zhao Xu nodded, he also understood the redundancy of the official system of the Great Song Dynasty. As long as the jinshi of the new department is in the third class or below, it is unlikely that he will be directly awarded an officer, and this is not a problem that the ministry can solve, so he doesn't care about it.

He was concerned with something else.

I just want to ask the awarding officer of the new department's top three jinshi, is there any arrangement?

Xu Jiangdao: According to the "Interpretation Law", the first place of the top three jinshi in the new section should be awarded to the senior shogunate of the Dali Judge or the two envoys who signed the book. The minister took a look, and now there is a vacancy in the Dali Commentary. Therefore, Zhou Huai, the champion of today's department, can be awarded Dali Commentary.

The so-called signing of the book refers to the festival and the observation. Some large state capitals do not have governors and prefects, and directly set up envoys and observers. And because the two envoys of the Great Song Dynasty were not granted, the two envoys who signed the book were the chief officials of these state capitals. In fact, its authority is equivalent to that of the prefect and prefect of the general state capital. For example, the judge of the festival and the judge of observation are all officials in the two envoys who signed the book.

The second or third Jinshi of the new department, that is, Bangyan and Tanhua, according to the interpretation of the Great Song Dynasty, are to be the shogunate officials under them, and after they are rotated back to the court, they should be awarded second-class Beijing officials.

Seeing Zhao Xu nodded, General Xu continued: "The minister took a look, and now, there is a shortage of staff among the officials of Ning Wujun and Wu Kangjun. Seeing that Zhao Xu's face didn't seem to be very happy, he added: However, at this time, it is still up to His Majesty to judge!

Zhao Xu sighed and asked: What does Xu Aiqing mean by this, if I want to give these two people a Beijing official, is it okay?

Xu Jiang said: The world is His Majesty's world, and the official is His Majesty's official. Even if it is granted exceptionally, the minister thinks that it is necessary.

This is a typical Xu Jiang's answer, which always leaves room for the emperor to listen to. Although many ministers secretly despise General Xu in their hearts, thinking that he is too tactful, and many times he is suspected of slapping horses, but General Xu's official fortune has always been prosperous.

Zhao Xu not only didn't feel that Xu Jiang would slap the horse, but looked at him again. When the Heavenly Palace tried it a few days ago, Xu Jiang didn't agree with crossing out Ouyang Shu's name, and he had already made Zhao Xu look up to him. I think that although this person is from the top background, he is not pedantic or pretentious, which is very rare.

And today, it is not easy for him to be flexible and turn around.

In fact, what Zhao Xu didn't know was that he had this kind of mentality, mainly because he had preconceived thoughts about the second or third Jinshi, specifically Ouyang Shu's stay in Beijing as nothing wrong. That's why I resonated with Xu Jiang's statement.

However, Zhao Xu did not express his position directly, but looked around at the ministers and said: What else do you think about Aiqing?

Zhao Tingzhi has been very uneasy these days. It's really a hell of a thing, his favorite third son is actually named Luosun Mountain in this palace test! He himself was already very aggrieved because he was controlled by Mu Yun, and at this time, such a thing happened, it was really a broken house and suffered overnight rain, and he was even more aggrieved.

However, he recently received instructions from Mu Yun to go all out to fight for the position of prime minister, and he did not reluctantly muster up his fighting spirit. In fact, now the position of prime minister no longer has such a strong attraction for him. After all, he is now a high-ranking and powerful person in this middle school, so what if he becomes the prime minister, he still wants to be used by others?

However, he still remembered what Mu Yun said to him recently: Now it seems that Xu Chongyuan is your biggest opponent as prime minister, and you will remember it for me in the future, whatever he says, you must find a way to find a reason to oppose it. I'll support you secretly in the back, you understand?

Thinking of this, Zhao Tingzhi resolutely stepped out and said: The minister thinks what General Xu said is inappropriate!

Zhao Xu's eyes narrowed: You tell me the reason!

Zhao Tingzhi: Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the regulations on the selection of the top-ranked Jinshi have been repeatedly preferred, and now, it is already a great honor to sign the two envoys. Unless Your Majesty repeals the Law of Interpretation and makes a new law. Otherwise, if there is a law that is not followed, what is the use of asking for the law? Therefore, the minister thought that it would be better for the two or three Jinshi of the current department to choose one of the Zhujiedu Prefectures and Observation Prefectures to be released.

Seeing that Zhao Xu just nodded noncommittally, but did not say anything to echo it, Zhao Tingzhi took advantage of the situation to add another fire: Moreover, the minister thought that if General Xu wanted to keep the two new science and technology scholars in Beijing, he was afraid that he would have bad intentions.

General Xu didn't seem surprised by Zhao Tingzhi's reaction, turned around, and said with a smile: Zhao Tingzhi, we are both important ministers of the imperial court, we should be of one heart and one mind, and share worries for the pen, you don't want to attack your colleagues. Your Majesty is holy and smart, and the dragon's eyes are like torches, but you will not be easily fooled!
