In the winter of the third year of Xuanjing, the emperor who consolidated his authority carried out a series of personnel transfers, many ministers were promoted, and many ministers were deposed or delegated to local areas.

On the whole, it is quite stable, such as Wu Qishen, the director of the Ministry of Industry, who was directly killed by the black pot, or perhaps it was this incident that made many ministers restrain their resistance to the imperial power.

The people behind Jiang Wu won a great victory, which was known from Jiang Wu's good mood from time to time.

In the spring of Dawei this year, the biggest thing is the spring festival, that is, the imperial examination, which is the triennial spring festival is the hope of countless scholars in the world.

Although the Jiang family has no scholars, they are all Tsing Yi Guards, and Tsing Yi Wei must go to the Tribute Courtyard to guard at that time, because the Tribute Courtyard is in Nancheng, and the Nancheng Fu Envoy will serve as the main security force.

"There are still more than a month before the Spring Festival, and there are scholars in Yongdu City, and it seems that the imperial examination still has great power"

On the second floor of Wansheng Building, Jiang Cheng stood by the window and saw that there were several tables in the hall on the first floor dressed as scholars, which was very recognizable.

"These are relatively close to Yongdu City, outside the city, Yongzhou in Jiangzhou, like farther, such as Haizhou or Nanzhou, I'm afraid it will take a month, it's good not to be late."

"If you can study, your family will not be very bad, even if it is very poor, if you can come to the imperial examination, there will be no one to sponsor it"

Jiang Cheng replied, the candidates in Chunfu are really not poor, and there is no poor scholar like the kind of poor scholar in his previous impression, because the candidates in Chunfu are all lifters, and the scholars of the Great Wei Dynasty do not have the high status of the scholars in the history in Jiang Cheng's memory, after all, that era was through the Song Dynasty to promote literature and suppress the military, and the status of literati was unprecedentedly high, but the scholars of the Great Wei also had a lot of preferential treatment.

Therefore, if you are really poor, there will be rich people who invest in advance and give them financial support, and the real poor literati are those who have not even been admitted to Xiucai.

"What is the origin of this person you recruited, it seems to be quite capable"

Jiang Wu pointed to Chen Chengyuan downstairs and said, he is talking to the scholars below now, and those high-ranking scholars don't seem to resist him, this ability is not low.

"The newly promoted foreman in the store has read books and has good ability, I am ready to reuse it"

"Looking at his footwork, it looks like he has practiced fists and feet"

"Is there still a small number of people in Yongdu City who have practiced boxing and kicking, it's very rare?"

"It's not unusual, but you have to be careful, don't invite the real immortal rebel party, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around"

"Got it"

Jiang Cheng nodded, Chen Chengyuan is not an immortal rebel party, but an anti-party.

········

"Jiang Wu, from today onwards, you will be the official 100 households of our Qingyi Weinan Town Fu Envoy"

Tsing Yi Wei Gong Building, Jiang Wu was finally promoted from 100 households to 100 households, he could have been promoted a long time ago, but the people behind him felt that he was too fast, so he pressed it for a few months.

"Thank you, sir, see off Lao Hu tonight, Lao Hu dedicates his life to Tsing Yi Wei and gives him a decent way to go"

Jiang Wu said to Du Wen, he said that Lao Hu was the person Jiang Wu replaced, he was seriously injured in the execution of the mission a few years ago, and after the injury was healed, he left a very serious sequelae, and the martial arts have been regressing again, unable to perform the task, and the above has long intended to let him quit.

Lao Hu has always wanted his son to take over, but the power of Baihu is already very large, Lao Hu can't fight Jiang Wu's relationship, and he has been defeated, and Jiang Wu has been constantly suppressed in the past few months.

"You don't care about the past"

"Because if I were Lao Hu, I would do the same, human nature"

Jiang Wu behaved very frankly, there is a big gap between the hundred households and the trial hundred households, and the interests are also much worse, if he is Lao Hu, he will do this, as long as his son can take over, at least he can ensure decades of wealth.

That night, Jiang Wu found a group of people to see off his predecessor Baihu, and now Lao Hu's attitude towards Jiang Wu has also changed, the appointment above has come down, he is powerless to stop it, and his son will be on an errand under Jiang Wu in the future, so he naturally wants to change his attitude.

In the next few days, it was Jiang Wu's promotion banquet, the Zhenfu Division held one for Jiang Cheng, one for thousands and hundreds of households, Jiang Yong held one for his son, and Jiang Wu's own henchmen held one for him, almost all of them were singing every night.

"The wine hurts the body, no wonder there are more than 100 households, there are few who can maintain the peak of force, if you want to set up another worship hall, you should drink a little less"

On this day, Jiang Cheng made a cup of hangover tea for Jiang Wu, who returned late, and said to Jiang Wu that since he tried a hundred households, he has greatly reduced the time for practicing martial arts, and in the long run, the previous kung fu will be left behind, and he will not practice for three days, which is not a joke.

"It's just that you can't help yourself, and you will be the same in the future"

"So you don't have to work for me, I'm lazy and not interested in officialdom"

"It's not up to you, as long as I continue to rise, you can't do it if you don't rise"

"Can make Daddy go up"

"Dad can't do it, he's old, and he's not as good as you in terms of force or intelligence, it's not much for me to get promoted, I need help"

Jiang Wu said that he only has so many resources, he can't help two people at the same time, choose one of the two, he must choose Jiang Cheng.

"Let's talk about it later"

"These are for you"

"So much money?"

"It's all a recent congratulatory gift, don't you want to support the dead, you can't do it if you don't have money"

"Thank you"

Jiang Cheng was not polite, and stuffed a stack of silver tickets into his body, although the cake shop and Wansheng Building are very profitable, but there are also many shareholders, he can get a few hundred taels of silver every month, this money is used to live and practice martial arts, but it is far from enough to do big things.

"Brother, don't talk about this, what happened to the people you raised?"

"Okay, take your time"

"After the Spring Festival, there will be great changes in the personnel of the imperial court"

"I know that the new emperor has been on the throne for four years, and his authority has been firm, and he was replaced at the top last winter, and after the spring, he will change the middle-level officials."

Jiang Cheng nodded, the transition stage of imperial power is very normal, people who are not emperors must be replaced, he just took the throne two years ago, and now he can almost do it.

"Those ministers will fight back, they won't sit still, a lot will happen in these months, you don't join in the fun"

"Fight back, do they have the power?"

"Yes, don't forget, there is Xianmen, in sixty years, there are about fifty people who have entered Xianmen, of which the royal family is the most, accounting for about half, and the other half are nobles and ministers, nobles and ministers not only have to maintain their glory and wealth, but also get resources for the people of Xianmen, they will not let the emperor mess around, no one can come, this is your life-and-death struggle"

"I almost forgot about Xianmen, it looks like this year will be very lively"

"Yes, the above brought me up for this matter, and now it's time for me to repay them"

Jiang Wu replied, the Gongyuan is in Nancheng, and he is in Nancheng, no one dares to guarantee that there is no such thought, and the people above have a hand in the layout.

"I'm going to be a knife again."

"If you don't want to be a knife, you have to climb up, be a person who holds a knife, I don't do it, someone else will do it, the power field, the most important thing is people"

"How will the grown-ups fight back?"

Jiang Cheng didn't answer this sentence, Jiang Wu had already said it I don't know how many times, I just wanted to know what the next way of struggle would be.

"Scholars, suppress the scholars of other factions, protect our disciples, destroy what you can't get, and the emperor doesn't want to accept the hearts of all scholars"

"That's according to the division of teachers and regions"

"Almost, all states and prefectures, all famous masters, it's very complicated, I haven't got the list yet, so during this time, you have to be careful, don't be taken advantage of, if there is a case related to Shizi, you must tell me"

Jiang Wu replied that the party struggle in the imperial court was very harsh and complicated, and he could not see clearly, some forces were divided by regional relations, called township parties, and some were based on ideas or teacher-inheritance relationships, which was a mess and easy to be injured by mistake.

"I see, I'll pay attention"

"That's fine, let's disperse"

Jiang Wu nodded and went back to sleep.

In the following days, there were more and more scholars in Yongdu City, especially in Nancheng, because of the relationship between the Gongyuan, the largest number of scholars gathered, and these scholars arrived in Yongdu in advance and began various activities, either to visit some elders, or to organize some poetry meetings, etc., and they were very busy every day.

And with the arrival of scholars, cows, ghosts, snakes and gods also continue to emerge, such as fraud, many scholars come to Yongdu for the first time, and some people are eyeing them, in the eyes of these people, they are fat sheep, and some people report to the official every day, saying that they have been deceived, but these are all things of the yamen, and they have nothing to do with Tsing Yiwei.

But there are still many violations of the ban, such as the curfew, many scholars feast all night, drink crazy in the middle of the night, etc., and the Tsing Yi Wei of the night watch is about to do something.

"My lord, there is another scholar making trouble on Goulan Street, and the officials can't deal with it, please ask Tsing Yi Wei to take action."

"Can't solve the fight?"

"That scholar has guards, and there are also scholars with martial arts, go quickly"

On this day, Jiang Cheng was on duty, and a strong man came to report, and there was a disturbance of scholars on Goulan Street, and the officials couldn't deal with it, so they had to ask Tsing Yi Wei to suppress it.

Jiang Cheng took the knife, ordered a few wrestlers, and quickly rushed over, and when Jiang Cheng arrived, the fight was already over, and the losing side was lying on the ground howling in pain, especially the guards brought by the shizi, who were directly seriously injured, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and the winning side was gone.

"Go and find out, where is the person who hurt someone"

"Back to my lord, in Sanssouci Building"

"Tell the officials to stop watching, take someone to treat the wounded, if someone dies, the case will be big, and the others will follow me"

"My lord, it was the scholars of the country who beat people"

"You just tell me, which family is it from?"

"I heard that the official said that he was the son of the Xinliang family"

"No matter, arrest people first"

Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment, grab it, an earl, in Yongdu City, it has not reached the point where he covers the sky with one hand.
