Regarding the process of the examination, Shen Ning generally knew about it, and during the period of serving in the study, Shen Zejing would mention the relevant content of the examination from time to time. However, she did not express her opinion too much on this matter. In fact, regarding the specific assessment, it is also one of the confidential contents of the examination department, and Shen Zejing did not tell her in depth.

Although Shen Zejing is only an official residence, he has served in various places for many years, and he has been in contact with many things. Father is a member of the three grades, and has the guidance and teaching of his mentor Ye Zhengchun, and his father-in-law's family is a famous Confucian family for a while, so it can be said that from the beginning, he stood at a height that was difficult for other officials to reach, and he thought differently, so he still had a certain experience in selecting talents. At this moment, he was in the study, explaining the principle of selecting talents to Shen Ning in combination with the examination course

"Knowing people's things has been difficult since ancient times, so the performance is evaluated and the rank is examined, and its good and evil are examined. In the era of peace and prosperity, the selection of officials should be both talented and virtuous, and talents and virtues can be appointed. If the person is virtuous, then even if he is of average ability, he will not become a great evil; If a person is talented, but his mind is insidious and greedy, he will use his official position to fish and flesh the people as one party, which is a great disaster! In troubled times, it is different, in troubled times, only one person is required to have talent, as long as there is talent, you can create a situation, this is the reason for choosing people according to the time. These ideas were thought about by Shen Zejing after he took office as the Meritorious Service Division, and only now did he have a relatively perfect expression, and he took the opportunity to teach Shen Ning to sort out his own thoughts.

Shen Zejing believes that employing people based on goodness is followed by a meritocracy, which are two standards and two requirements. Of course, what he didn't say to Shen Ning was that in his mind, there is a prerequisite for employing people only and using people based on talent, that is, nepotism, if it is not close to credible people, who will use him? This is reasonable, especially in the era of such a country and country, where the power of an official is meager, and it is the only people who are intertwined into a big net to hold up the official, such as in-laws, old people, protégés, classmates, etc......

Shen Ning nodded, looking like he was being taught, and his heart was very clear. I think my father was moved by the things about the exams these days, so he told her this. Although Shen Zejing and Shen Ning are talking about the things on the surface of the exam, she knows that everything is fine so far, nothing major has happened, as long as she can survive the first year of the exam safely, her father's future is limitless.

Over the years, as long as there are no mistakes in the examination courses, the chief officer of the examination department has been promoted all the way. For example, the current Shangshu left servant Xiao Houren, who served as the post of the meritorious service division back then, and Ding Wenhan, the assassin of Lingnan Dao, also went out from the meritorious examination division. Shen Ning understands this, as long as his father passes this hurdle, the situation will be different, and with Ye Zhengchun in Jingzhao, his father should stride through this time, and Shen Ning is also relieved.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has only passed for a few days, and unlike other families who are still immersed in the scene of reunion and celebration, the Shangshu Mansion of the Military Department is tense and silent. There seemed to be a trace of panic under the silence, Chen Zhihao, the secretary of the military department, and Chen Shuzhou, the eldest son of the army, were discussing in the study, and the breath of both of them was a little corrupt.

"Grandmother is just a matter of the past few days, all the doctors shook their heads, and the breath of the hundred-year-old ginseng hanging can't last for a few days." Chen Shuzhou reported to Chen Zhihao the physical state of the old lady of the Chen Mansion. Mrs. Chen is Chen Zhihao's mother, and she is over seventy years old. Originally, in the Chen family, it should be like this, but as soon as Mrs. Chen died, all the men in the Chen family, including Chen Zhihao, the secretary of the military department, had to worry about it for three years, and this is the problem. The Chen family and the second prince have been tightly tied together, and now this situation is when the momentum of seizing the heir is formed, and Mrs. Chen really can't die. This is exactly what Chen Zhihao and Chen Shuzhou are worried about, because of this, they are so sad that they don't even have a good Mid-Autumn Festival.

"The doctors are all looking for them in private, and their mouths are also secret, and they won't be able to spread it for a while, but this can't be hidden for too long, we still have to be prepared." Seeing that Chen Zhihao didn't speak, Chen Shuzhou added. Chen Shuzhou also served in the court, once the old lady died of illness, he also had to worry at home, this is not a big problem. The key is Chen Zhihao's position as the secretary of the military department, as well as the second uncle Chen Zhikuo's position as the Cenzhou assassin, which are all the most important. The Chen family can't stay in these positions, and the power of the second prince will be greatly reduced, and Chen Shuzhou is very anxious.

"Let's find a few doctors in private to take a look, your grandmother is in good health, and she has a foundation, although she is seriously ill now, maybe she can survive this time. However, it is necessary to inform the second prince to prepare early. Chen Zhihao thought for a while and said. Since the beginning of autumn, the weather has been repeated, and his mother suddenly fell ill, which made him panic. In addition to worrying about his mother's body, he is more worried about the adverse effects of his mother's death, his thoughts are the same as his son, Chen Lao Taijun is really unable to die at this time.

The Second Prince's Mansion soon learned the news that Mrs. Chen was seriously ill, Chen Wanrou was okay, she didn't get along with this great-grandmother much, and she had little contact with her, except for being a little sentimental about the death of her relatives, her daily life was not affected by this. The second prince, Shangguan Chengyou, was different, he was in a hurry, and hurriedly summoned his staff to discuss this matter. The main purpose of this discussion is to discuss the candidate to replace Chen Zhihao. This replacement candidate must be a person from the second prince and the first line, only in this way, during Chen Zhihao's three-year Ding worry, he can still maintain his influence in the military department!

The power of the military department must not be lost because of this, this is the consensus of Shangguan Chengyou and his staff. Shangguan Chengyou's determination is particularly firm, in order to gain the power of the military department, he paid a lot, married Chen Wanrou, and let his favored Jiang family have a small property, and now because Chen Lao Taijun died of illness to lose these, how can this be?!

It was only then that he realized how important the power of the military department was to him, and how deep his desire for that position was! The original soft heart has been shattered by the impact of such a change, or the hidden desire in the heart has been stimulated by this matter. He must keep the position of the Chen family, and he must keep the power of the military department, his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, as if he was firm and awakened......
