Chapter 255: Cultivation
Na Xu Qian's entry into the Guozijian actually has no substantial benefits, because the Ming Dynasty, like later generations, in the early days of the founding of the country, there was a special lack of intellectuals, coupled with the indiscriminate killing of Emperor Hongwu, and the guide zhì porridge was more than a monk, so in the early Ming Dynasty, the Guozijian was still very popular, and even had a prison student who was ordered to be in danger and went directly to serve as a third-grade official. After Emperor Hongwu killed a group of officials, there were very few scholars in the imperial examination at that time, and these prisoners of the country naturally became the sweets in the eyes of his old people.
It's just that with the stability of the country, the increasing prosperity of the country, and the increasing number of scholars, it is becoming more and more difficult for the prisoners to become officials, for example, during the Hongwu period, the prisoners were assigned jobs, and the assignments were often fat, and they were thrown out at random, at least they were all Qipinzhi County. But this kind of good time didn't take long for the tragedy to come, and by the time of Yingzong, the iron rice bowl of Guozijian had long been gone, and he wanted to be an official? Exam Go!
In addition, after the change of Tumubao, in order to raise money and food, the imperial court actually adopted the method of accepting silk into the prison, but all local students who contributed horses, grain, and silver money could enter the prison to study, although this part of the scholars was only a small number, but it also greatly reduced the quality of the national prison, so that many top students were unwilling to enter the prison even though they were qualified to enter the prison. As a result, it is naturally conceivable that due to the fact that there are fewer and fewer excellent students, and there are more and more silk students, in the end, this country will naturally become synonymous with garbage.
Garbage is garbage, but the imperial court naturally has a lot of preferential treatment for Guozijian, one of which is that all Guozi prisoners do not have to go through the examination every time they take a scientific examination, and they automatically obtain qualifications.
This is extremely important to Xu Qian, some of his behaviors have long been criticized by people in the officialdom, if the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Officials Department look at him unpleasantly and make him a stumbling block, as long as the reason is just. Even the palace can't interfere.
In addition, once the Guozi prison students are named on the gold list, they often have a higher www.biquge.info than ordinary candidates, which is a measure taken by Yingzong to cut off the iron rice bowl of the Guozi Prison, and the purpose is naturally to calm down the criticism of the prisoners. Whoever it is, I'm afraid I can't stand it, so when Emperor Yingzong saw this, he took this measure, and the inmates were all awarded by the seven-grade official in the middle test. And according to the unspoken rules, prisoners are often allowed to stay in Beijing.
This means that you don't have to go to remote areas, and the future is often much better than that of the same year. But the court still recognizes your official status.
Jiajing's move naturally had his intentions, Xu Qian made too many enemies, so he first stayed in the Guozi Prison for a month or two, and honestly stayed in the Guozi Prison. When the time comes, to participate in the imperial examination, as long as the title of the gold list is named, you can be entrusted with important tasks.
Xu Qian is not stupid, and he understands Jiajing's hard work in a blink of an eye. After tossing for so long, Jiajing has obviously trusted himself. I already have a plan to cultivate it carefully.
Of course, this process may be very long, at this time of the Ming Dynasty, the holy family obviously did not have the power of the early Ming Dynasty, all the major events in the early Ming Dynasty were in the emperor's thoughts, and what he wanted, and now in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it is not easy for the emperor to do whatever he wants.
So in this process, Xu Qian must also give strength, the mud can't support the wall after all, if he is worried, unless he is castrated as a eunuch, maybe he can still mix something with the Holy Family, as for the others, I am afraid that it can only be used as a help.
Xu Qian said to Jiajing: "Your Majesty is ...... Ende"
Jiajing shook his hand and said: "This is what you deserve, you have entered the Guozijian, you can study well, you can only use it when you read it, but you don't have to think so long-term at the moment, it is important to take care of your studies, these days, you have shared a lot of worries for me, but you have wasted serious things, speaking of which, I still owe you a favor." Also, don't get into trouble anymore in the near future, your future is important. ”
He said a few words of encouragement rarely, and when he said it at this time, he seemed to feel a little embarrassed, and then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Let's go, when you will take the test, I will look at you, if you dare to take the exam, you will have to be punished at that time." ”
Xu Qian actually felt a little grateful in his heart, no matter what others said, the Jiajing he came into contact with was not too bad, although he was selfish, but there were many selfish people in this world, even Xu Qian himself was not selfish? If you are not a saint, why should you ask others to be saints? At this point, Xu Qian is still very different from the princes in the court, although he is not too strict with himself like everyone else, but Xu Qian will not be strict with others.
In fact, everyone is a human being, and everyone has their own perspective on people, such as Wang Feng, in Xu Qian's opinion, it is naturally an unforgivable crime, Wang Feng is corrupt and perverts the law, and may not be tolerated, but if it is Wang Feng's child, I am afraid that he will not agree, a bad official may not be a good father.
Just like this Jiajing, many people in the palace don't like him, thinking that he is harsh, and the so-called mean and unkind is also. The ministers didn't seem to like him very much, because he was too far from the Ming Jun in the minds of the ministers, and he was too nosy, but what about the Queen Mother, or the dead King Xingxian? Maybe Jiajing has become a good boy with filial piety.
Everyone's position is different, and the perspective of looking at people is naturally different, and the final result is also different.
And Xu Qian seems to have received a lot of favors from Jiajing, although at the beginning, he had a purpose to contact Jiajing, and since that chapter, the two have become closer and closer, and now they are dependent on each other. Thinking of this, Xu Qian sighed and said goodbye.
In Cining Palace, Jiajing watched Xu Qian's figure disappear at the palace gate, he squinted, didn't say a word, as if thinking about something, Huang Jin, who came in with Xu Qian, made a look at Jiajing, Jiajing understood, smiled slightly, and suddenly turned around and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, I know that there is a eunuch in the prison who has stolen things in the palace, and Huang Jin has taken them, and there is a bronze mirror in the stolen goods that have been searched. Although this bronze mirror is not a Xibei product, it is of great significance to the queen mother, and it turns out that this bronze mirror was stolen by the eunuch who knows the prison. ”
Hearing the word bronze mirror, the queen mother's eyes flashed a trace of surprise, the copper mirror root was not stolen, but Jiajing smashed it with his own hands, stealing the mirror is just a trick directed and acted by the queen mother, but now Jiajing suddenly said these words, the queen mother immediately keenly felt that Jiajing hoped for her cooperation.
The Queen Mother smiled slightly, and said with a lazy look: "Really? This slave is really bold, this is the first emperor left the mourning family thoughts, since the theft, the mourning family has not slept for several nights, and now this person who knows the eunuch is called, and the mourning family must clean up the palace ban. ”
Huang Jin hurriedly said: "Niangniang forgives the sin, it is the slave and maid who deserve to die, it is the slave and maid who make an assertion, I thought I would just send someone to clean him up, and then ask Niangniang to decide, who knows that the person who moved the torture does not know what is going on, and he is heavy, this person ...... Killed! ”
The Queen Mother glanced at the expressionless Jiajing, and said with a smile: "It's cheaper for him, it's just that, no one should mention this matter, is this kind of ugly thing good to say?" Huang Jin, give a warning to those who chew the root of their tongues, and let their mouths be tighter. ”
Huang Jin hurriedly said: "The slave and maid obey the order. ”
However, the Empress Dowager Zhang on the side suddenly felt a little suspicious, she had already heard about the loss of the mirror, but the problem was that the eunuchs who knew the eunuch could not enter and leave the Cining Palace, even if they came secretly, they could not enter the queen mother's bedroom, in this case, how could this bronze mirror be stolen? And since even Jiajing said that it was not a valuable thing, and there were rare things in this palace, this eunuch would take such a big risk to come to Cining Palace to steal a bronze mirror that was not very valuable. Besides, it is known that the oil and water of the eunuch is quite rich, and he is responsible for some purchases in the palace, this person is a great eunuch, and he has not been fed with oil and water at ordinary times, so he takes such a big risk to steal?
It's unreasonable to think about it, but Jiajing spoke, the Queen Mother cooperated, and Huang Jin added oil and vinegar to the side, but she couldn't believe it, Empress Dowager Zhang smiled and echoed: "In the future, this palace must be stricter, and no one is allowed to do evil. ”
It was an unintentional sentence, but Jiajing's face turned cold, and he said slowly: "Someone is gambling? Hmph, this matter must be investigated, the sons know that the queen mother is benevolent, and has always been tolerant of people, but there are some things, if you don't teach them a lesson, they will kick their noses in the face, Huang Jin, this matter, you come to do it, who are the people who are gambling together, they will be checked by me, and I will deal with it when I arrive. ”
Huang Jin responded, thinking to himself, what's wrong with Your Majesty? A good deal of gambling? You must know that gambling in this palace has been repeatedly banned during the Hongwu years, and the eunuchs have no other entertainment except for being on duty, so they have to mix together to gamble one or two, in fact, it is not a big deal, Jiajing may not know before, but now he is talking about this, which is inevitably a bit of a fuss.
It's just that Huang Jin has always known Jiajing's temperament, he has a purpose in doing everything, and what he wants to catch will definitely not be as simple as gambling, thinking of this, Huang Jin's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "The slave obeys the order." ”
