Because of the suddenness of the incident, all the officials were a little caught off guard.

It's just that Saturu felt that something was wrong, and stepped forward and said: "Holy Lord, is it a bit inappropriate for the Ministry of Officials to raise this matter in the court without discussing it with the Cabinet Lords, and if such a major official promotion is to be considered, is it a bit abrupt." The minister's intention is that this lack is empty first, and when the court meeting is dispersed, I will wait for the urgent discussion of the good students, and then report the matter at the court meeting. ”

Lu Buyun said: "Originally, today's request was only for Wang Hong to make up for the lack of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, but yesterday the internal discussion of the Ministry of Officials was to take advantage of the matter of who to make up for Wang Hong's lack at this time, and report it together, so that there would be no mistakes, otherwise the state examination would be delayed, and the Ministry of Officials would not be able to escape the involvement." ”

Emperor Yan said: "This matter happened suddenly, although the officials did not report to the cabinet first, but this matter is also related to Wang Hong's candidacy, and the officials are also kind enough to help the society, for fear of missing the state examination." Ladies and gentlemen, if you have any opinions, please come quickly. ”

The rest of the people didn't know about it, so they were silent. Only a few cabinet ministers except for Jindeha, because the ministry did not inform in advance, felt that they still had to say a few words, otherwise it would damage the face of the cabinet.

Wang Jifeng played: "The minister thinks that Lord Lu's move is a bit abrupt, although Lord Lu is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but he is also the minister of the Cabinet, Yunxi Prefecture Shengxue Envoy to fill the vacancy, in the Ministry of Officials needs to be discussed, in the cabinet also needs to be discussed, this matter is very important, the undergraduate examination is imminent, if it is a casual appointment, I am afraid that the big exam will be missed, the minister thinks that he should select a safe person from the imperial court and Beijing officials, etc., to Yunxi Prefecture, only then did he have the bottom in his heart. ”

Xiang Qimin and Yang Zuo also agreed when they heard this.

Satulu said: "The officials of Yunxi Prefecture have always been diligent, and this alternate roster can be used as a standby for the ministers, but there is one person in this alternate list, who is a Jishi during the reign of the first emperor, who has been an official in Yunxi Prefecture for many years, and his political achievements are also very outstanding. This person is Wu Jing, the prefect of Luwei Mansion. ”

Jin Deha had already prepared, and took Saturlu's words and said, "The minister also thinks that only by selecting officials from this Yunxi Prefecture can we select officials suitable for this state. Wu Jing is this person, and the minister also knows that he has served as the prefect of Naluwei Mansion for three years, and his political achievements are also acceptable. However, the minister thinks that this matter is related to the students' big exam, and it is an important matter, and it still needs to see whose scientific examination is better. The minister asked the Holy Lord, and let the highest-ranking official in the roster be appointed as the Holy Scholar of this Prefecture, so that he could set an example for the students of this state. ”

Emperor Yan nodded and praised: "What Lord Jin said is very much in line with my heart, if this holy scholar of this mansion, if he is only from a scholar's background, I am afraid that he will not be able to convince the public, let alone let the students of this state regard him as a model." Since Lord Saturu has ensured that these people can be the holy envoys of this province, I will set a line, that is, let the officials on this roster be replaced by those who have the highest ranking in the scientific examination. ”

After Emperor Yan finished speaking, Lu Buyun said: "Among these officials, the highest ranking is Tan Jiaxing, the prefect of Ziyuan Mansion, who was ranked fourth in the scientific examination that year, and originally this person could be set third, but because there was an ink spot on the test paper, he was lowered by one place and planned to be fourth. ”

Emperor Yan said: "In this way, being the envoy of this holy school has wronged Tan Jiaxing, if he was positioned third back then, at least he would be ranked in the court." Since this person's academic qualifications are exemplary, then this person was named to make up for Wang Hong's lack and serve as the holy envoy of this house. ”

So after more than a month, this Wang Hong received a document from his subordinates, and he was happy to go to Beijing to serve as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, while Ma Rushan and Tan Jiaxing also received documents and went to serve as generals and holy envoys.

As a result, among the six major officials in the state capital, Sun Zhaoyuan occupies three seats, while Yao Yungui only has three seats left. Although there are still Yao Yungui officials in the prefecture and county and military camps, Sun Zhaoyuan has already opened the corner of the Yunxi Prefecture official, and it is the most important corner.

Sun Zhaoyuan did it too skillfully, and the officials of Yunxi Prefecture didn't know that Sun Zhaoyuan's move was against him, and he was still eating and drinking and playing as before.

On that day, Yu Yinqiao returned to the governor's compound from the restaurant inn with the account book, and happened to see Sun Zhaoyuan returning from the public office. Yu Yin Qiao said: "Xianggong, these restaurant inn account books are really rare, the daily income in a state is five hundred taels, rain or shine, the change is very small, the daily difference, at most only a few dozen taels of silver." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "There is still this matter? ”

Yu Yin Qiao said: "Exactly." This thing is so strange, if it is usually a restaurant inn, when it rains and winds, people do not want to go out on the day, there will be a loss of income, but these shops under my name, even if the weather is bad, it is also a lot of income, one day, on a whim, when it rains, I went to ten restaurants in Luyang Mansion to see the business in the store, but it is sparse, there are not a few people, but the account book that comes up the next day is still as usual, no more, no less. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan smiled: "I already know where the joints are, are there any other strange things?" ”

Yu Yinqiao said: "There is another thing I don't know if it is unusual. There is a very well-repaired inn in the east of the city, there are dozens of people in the private room, I look at the account book, I have lived for more than two years, this inn has a large daily accommodation cost, the average person can not stand to live in the hotel every day, and these dozens of people, a permanent residence for a few years, I don't know if there is any weirdness. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "This is also strange, if you know that you want to live for more than two years, according to the cost of silver taels, you can buy a large courtyard to settle these dozens of people, why live in the inn shop, if it is an official errand, it is not unusual, anyway, the flower is also the silver tael of the imperial court, but according to the battle of dozens of people, it must be a dignitary and noble, in this Yunxi Prefecture, where are the dignitaries and nobles I don't know." So there are other clues to this matter, let me think about it. ”

Yu Yinqiao said: "I remembered something, one day I went to the store to check the account book, and took the opportunity to see who these people were, but I didn't want to, I saw Longjin there." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Longjin? He was a lieutenant who went out with his entourage, which was very eye-catching when he thought about it. ”

Yu Yin Qiao said: "That day, Longjin was not wearing the deputy general's uniform, but a casual dress, when I passed by the guest's door, a guest happened to go in to serve tea and pour water, the door was not closed, I hurriedly walked by, so I saw him, but he didn't see me." I saw him and three or four people in there discussing something important. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Why does this inn, even Longjin have to go, who are the people living here." ”

Yu Yinqiao said: "I have seen the registration list, and those people and others are all local people in Yunxi Prefecture. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "This is even more strange, why do locals live in the inn?" ”

Yu Yin Qiao said: "I really don't know about this. When I told Xiang Gong just now that my daily income was about the same, Xiang Gong already knew where the joint was, what it was? ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "The daily revenue is the same, but someone deliberately did it to let this restaurant inn legally transfer the property to the owner. ”

Yu Yin Qiao said: "Why is this? ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Let me ask you, according to the account book, what is the maximum daily revenue of the restaurant?" ”

Yu Yinqiao said: "According to the account book, this inn is full every day, and the restaurant turns over the tables twice a day, and the income is about five hundred and fifty taels. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said with a smile: "That's right, this person is specifically based on the full capacity of these restaurants and inns to calculate the daily revenue, if it is insufficient, they will think of making up for it, such as the inn paid the money but did not go to live, the restaurant paid the money but did not go to eat." ”

Yu Yin Qiao said: "Why is this so? ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "It's just the money made in other places, it's not clean, it's not good to transfer it directly to the owner, so I thought of this method and entered the account book of the restaurant inn. ”

Yu Yinqiao said: "I see, no wonder Li Hua assured me at that time that if these restaurants and inns lost money, she would come to see me, thinking about it, she had long been convinced that these restaurants and inns must make money, but this way of making money, someone wants to give her money legally." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "You secretly sent a few subordinates to quietly make a booklet of the real stay and the real banquet, and check it with the account books they reported to see how much difference there is every day." ”

Yu Yinqiao said: "I'll do it." ”
