Chapter 6 Drawing of lots
"Lady, let's get up tomorrow and go to Beijing."
At night, Han Mo took a closer look at the alternate diploma, but he didn't expect it to say that he had entered the selection process of the Ministry of Officials, and asked him to rush to the court room of the Ministry of Officials outside Tiananmen Square before the 25th of this month to participate in the election.
"Ah Xianggong, why did you suddenly think about going to Beijing?" Hearing that her husband was going to leave for Beijing tomorrow, Ye Qingming couldn't help but be stunned.
Hearing this, Han Mo told his wife about the notice on the waitlist.
"I see."
After listening to her husband's story, the wife nodded her head.
"Xianggong, I've heard people say that it will take a long time to enter the selection process. Why were we able to advance so quickly? ”
"Huh? This..."Han Mo scratched his head and guessed: "Maybe my dad knows some big official in Shangjing, and he bought it with money." ”
"Oh! Is that the election passed, and you can go to the county magistrate? The wife asked curiously, her eyes widened.
"Not necessarily, the selection is passed, and it has to go through the trial first." Han Mo said and reached out and touched his wife's hair.
Although his wife doesn't know much about his career, and he doesn't understand why he is obsessed with rebellion, his wife's mind is very pure, and she has helped him a lot over the years, and he is very happy that he is willing to follow him this time.
"I understand, as long as you pass the selection and probation, you can become an official." Ye Qingming said with a smile.
"Pretty much." Han Mo nodded.
Following.
After breakfast, Han Mo changed into a set of cyan brocade robes and put on a scarf.
"Xianggong, you are really handsome in this outfit." Ye Qingming exclaimed.
Han Mo smiled and ignored her, and took Ye Qingming to hire a carriage and set off for Shangjing.
Unlike small county towns, the streets here are spacious, clean and tidy, and the flow of people is bustling and lively. Except for the yin and yang heads on the street, everything else is good.
On the way, Han Mo met many familiar fellows, and to his surprise, many of these people were doing business in Beijing and becoming big officials.
After they saw Han Mo, they all nodded and bent down to greet Han Mo and congratulate Han Mo.
"Congratulations?"
Han Mo felt very puzzled, he hadn't told these people about his official donation at all, how did they know about it? Could it be that the big-mouthed dad revealed it?
"Xianggong, what's wrong with you?" Noticing that her husband was a little distracted, Ye Qingming asked.
Han Mo smiled, came back to his senses, and then shook his head.
The two had been on their way and soon arrived at the court room of the officials outside Tiananmen Square.
The guards outside the ministry saw Han Mo and the others coming, and immediately stopped them.
"What are you here for?" The guard at the head looked at Han Mo and said.
Han Mo handed his alternate diploma to the guard and explained, "It was the officials who informed us to participate in the election. ”
The guard took the diploma, and after reading it, he asked Han Mo and the others to wait outside.
About half a pillar of incense, the guard came in and said, "Go in." ”
"Thank you." After Han Mo and Ye Qingming thanked each other, they walked inside.
There are a lot of people inside, and they are quite richly dressed, and most of them should be people who came to participate in the election.
There is a lottery in the selection, to put it bluntly, it is a lottery, and you enter the next probationary period when you are drawn, and if you can't be drawn, you can wait until next month.
"Won, I've won, it's been three years, and I've finally won!" The person in front of him shouted the lottery.
Han Mo looked up and found that the man was jumping excitedly, with irrepressible joy on his face.
"Congratulations."
"yes, congratulations." The other people who participated in the lottery also echoed the congratulations.
"Haha, I can win the lottery this time, my luck is simply against the sky!" The man laughed, ignoring the strange stares of the others.
Han Mo noticed that there were many people staring at the bamboo sticks in the man's hand with envy and hatred.
"It seems that the winning rate of this lottery is extremely low." Seeing this scene, Han Mo couldn't help but worry, if he was as unlucky as that person, and it took three years to win the lottery, wouldn't it be that the cucumber dishes were cold.
Just when Han Mo was thinking wildly, the person who won the lottery had already left happily, and the remaining lottery players began to draw bamboo sticks one after another.
In the end, there were only three lottery players left, and they all left in frustration after the lottery.
Finally, it was Han Mo's turn.
But just as Han Mo was about to draw lots, the officials of the Ministry of Officials changed slightly after seeing his name, and suddenly took out another lottery bucket and put it on the table.
Although Han Mo had some doubts, he still took a deep breath nervously, slowly picked up a bamboo skewer, and shook it gently.
Looking at the bamboo sticks in his hand, Han Mo silently recited in his heart, "Oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and restore the Hanjia River."
The speed of the bamboo skewers is getting faster and faster, and gradually it stabilizes.
Han Mo took a look at it and immediately smiled with relief.
It reads, Group A.
Seeing the numbers on the bamboo sticks, the people around couldn't help but show envy.
Group A also means that Han Mo has passed the selection of the county order, and as long as he passes the probation, he can basically take office at the local level.
Han Mo gestured to the people around him, and then pulled Ye Qingming to the side.
What Han Mo didn't notice was that except for him who could bring his family members into the audience, most of the other family members were waiting outside the door of the official department.
"Great, Xianggong, you will be promoted to a senior official in the future." Ye Qingming excitedly clenched his fists and cheered.
Han Mo smiled and nodded, no matter what, he finally has an official position, and in the future, he will use his official position to give full play to the ability of the system, slowly cultivate his power, and finally rise from the straw.
He must stick to this path!
