The sound of the rain hit the bluestone slabs in the courtyard, and when the windows were opened, the damp and slightly cold wind immediately blew into the house, which lifted Wei Chen's spirits.

When Bianjing was still focusing on the township test list, Wei Chen was busy writing the examination for his subordinate county and state left officials in the study.

This is in preparation for the Hajj.

Once every three years of the Hajj, all the prefectures and governors in the world must gather in Bianjing to report to the Son of Heaven, and only after passing the inspection can they return to their posts.

】

The process of specific inspection is to first evaluate and evaluate at the local level, and then the officials and subordinates make conclusions.

The prefecture should evaluate the counties under its jurisdiction, and the government should evaluate the prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction, and after making a register, it should be reported to the governor's yamen.

Based on the previous evaluation, the Fu Yahui wrote down the examination words before the officials entered the Beijing Hajj, and finally reported to the Ministry of Officials.

Wei Chen, as the governor of Yuzhou, will also enter Beijing for Hajj after the beginning of the year, and Wei Chen naturally can't ask for this.

With the arrival of the ninth year of Tianyou, Wei Chen's wedding date is not far away, and he can take advantage of this time to enter Beijing to marry his two fiancées.

So in the past few days, Wei Chen, who was very excited, had been busy preparing for entering Beijing, and hurriedly wrote the examination language to be written.

Chen Jun of Xinzheng Zhixian is Wei Chen's old friend, and Wei Chen certainly did not hesitate to praise him.

There is also Sun Zhuo, the magistrate of Mi County, who behaved very well when he was repairing the river before, Wei Chen promised to promote him to the officials, and now he naturally can't lose his trust.

Other state and county officials, such as Huang Shouzheng, etc., Wei Chen also gave a "talented" evaluation, and there was nothing disparaging.

As for Zhao Zongquan, although he is also Wei Chen's subordinate, after all, he is a member of the royal family, and he has his own system, so there is no need for Wei Chen to interfere.

After writing this, Wei Chen immediately sent the text to the Henan Governor's Yamen, and there was nothing to do with him later, and Wei Chen took a nap with peace of mind.

……

Three days later, on the shore of Luoshui, in a curtain surrounded by green cloth, the sound of silk and bamboo slowly came out, attracting visitors to stop.

However, the thick curtains and screens blocked their view, and there was a circle of soldiers around them, which was difficult for others to approach, and they could only pass by from a distance.

In the curtain, it is Yuan Yingdao, the governor of Henan, who took advantage of the rest to travel and enjoy the scenery.

In the autumn breeze, on the bank of Luoshui, Yuan Yingdao has white hair and silver hairpins, and his robe follows the wind, reclining on the soft couch, enjoying the music and singing, quite leisurely, with a bit of leisure.

At this time, as soon as the curtain moved, Zeng Lun, Yuan Yingdao's confidant, walked in, bowed down and said, "Dong Weng." ”

"What's the matter?"

Yuan Yingdao asked, waved his hand, and motioned for Leban to retreat outside.

Zeng Lun said: "The list of candidates in this township has come out. ”

Yuan Yingdao was silent.

Henan is the land of Gyeonggi, and the imperial court is also in charge of all matters in the township, and it is not his turn to intervene as a governor, so he is not too busy to inform him of this matter.

He was waiting for Zeng Lun's next step.

Zeng Lun said: "Xie Yuan is called Guo Jin, a native of Mi County, Yuzhou. ”

Yuan Yingdao raised his eyebrows.

Yuzhou?

This place has never been prosperous in culture and education, and since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there have not been a few lifters, let alone Xie Yuan.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be the first Xie Yuan from Yuzhou.

Yuan Yingdao suddenly thought of the young man who was currently the governor of Yuzhou, and couldn't help but chuckle: "This Weichen is lucky, he has only been in Yuzhou for more than two years, and there is a Xie Yuan under his rule." ”

Zeng Lun continued: "In addition to Guo Jin, there are fifteen people from Yuzhou in Jinke. ”

"Fifteen?"

Yuan Yingdao interrupted Zeng Lun's words, and looked up in amazement: "You mean, there are a total of sixteen people in Keyu Prefecture today?" ”

Zeng Lun nodded respectfully.

"Yang Yuanzhen is so bold!"

Yuan Yingdao immediately straightened up and sat up, and said angrily: "The dignified Gyeonggi Township Test, the Talent Ceremony at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he also dares to cheat for personal gain?" ”

But just after scolding twice, he realized that something was wrong, if Yang Yuanzhen really cheated for personal gain, the results of the Jinke Township Examination would definitely not be counted, and where did Xie Yuan come from?

So Yuan Yingdao coughed lightly and stopped talking, but waited for the explanation of his staff.

Zeng Lun lowered his head and said: "On the night the list came out, Yang Yuanzhen was summoned into the palace by His Majesty, and the inside and outside of the Gongyuan were also blocked by the Imperial City Division, as well as those Yuzhou candidates, all of them were checked one by one, but nothing was found, so the township test was still released as usual." ”

Yuan Yingdao frowned and thought for a moment, feeling that it was rare to get the essentials, and then asked: "Didn't the fallen scholars come out to make trouble?" ”

Zeng Lun hesitated for a moment, and slowly told Yuan Yingdao about the situation on the day of the release of the list and the popularity of "Tan Wenlu" in Bianjing, and said:

"Now the whole of Bianjing praises Wei Zhizhou's act of learning to write books, and even His Majesty said that it is thanks to Wei Zhizhou's education that there is a good story of one subject and sixteen moves in Yuzhou."

After hearing this, Yuan Ying was stunned for a long time, and suddenly smiled dumbly: "A few days ago, someone came to this official to complain, saying that Wei Chen was so happy that he was overspending money and food in Yuzhou. The official believed it was true, and was about to send someone to Yuzhou to investigate the matter, but now it seems that there is no need for it. ”

At this time, Zeng Lun opened his mouth and suggested: "Dong Weng, the beginning of spring next year is the triennial pilgrimage of foreign officials. ”

Yuan Yingdao nodded when he heard this.

Yuzhou is a provincial-level prefecture, and Zhizhou Weichen's examination language was naturally written by his top boss, Henan Governor Yuan Yingdao.

And Zeng Lun mentioned the matter of the Hajj investigation at this time, which was to specially remind Yuan Yingdao that Wei Chen's examination language needs to be written carefully.

Of course, Yuan Yingdao understood what his staff meant.

Wei Chen is the Liuyuanlang appointed by Zhao Zhen, and he once served as the official of the extension of the scriptures, serving the emperor directly, this is the kind of person that Jian Zai said in the emperor's heart.

Therefore, Yuan Yingdao made up his mind to live in peace with Wei Chen as early as the day of Wei Chen's arrival.

Besides, even if Yuan Yingdao really wanted to suppress Wei Chen, it would be difficult to do so.

The last pox method, as well as the amazing results of the township test in Yuzhou this time, Wei Chen's actions in Yuzhou have repeatedly reached the heavens, and even spread to the world, which is not at all under the influence of Yuan Yingdao.

Yuan Yingdao has long recognized this.

Previously, due to the establishment of a righteous school, Wei Chen was criticized by officials from neighboring governments, and he was stabbed to the governor's yamen, and Yuan Yingdao also suppressed Wei Chen for a long time.

In order to form a good relationship with Wei Chen.

This is the case in officialdom, it is convenient for others and oneself.

A young man like Wei Chen, who is in the heart of the emperor, has been promoted quickly, and when he can't keep it, he will jump on his head, and when the time comes, maybe he will still ask Wei Chen to do something.

His Hajj language, Yuan Yingdao of course had to write it with his heart.

After sending Zeng Lun away, Yuan Yingdao thought about it alone for a moment, and he already had an idea in his heart.

Didn't Wei Chen build a dam by the Yellow River in Mi County, just in time to send someone to inspect it, so that there can be evidence when writing a test to praise Wei Chen.

There are also farmland, water conservancy, righteousness, industry and commerce, etc., these are Weichen's political achievements in Yuzhou, and you can also take a look at them together.

This kind of ready-made favor, don't pick it up for nothing.
