"Needless to say, although the crown prince is dull and the king of Qi is wise and powerful, I think the emperor is not willing to pass on the throne to his younger brother and not to his son, right? Besides, although there are some old ministers on King Qi's side, the crown prince's side has the support of the queen Yang family and the crown princess Jia family, and the strength is obviously stronger. ”

"Yes, that's right, King Qi is destined not to inherit the unification, and at that time, King Qi and his party will be affected. Therefore, Jiazhou should also be cautious. ”

"Me? I have nothing to do with King Qi. ”

"Although you are not a member of the Qi King Party, there is no guarantee that the person you recommend is not. Let me ask you, the small zhongzheng of the county is recommended by all of your states. Our Ruyin's Ji Zhongzheng must also be recommended by you, right? ”

Speaking of this, Jia Gong suddenly remembered that Ji Si was once King Qi's old subordinate, the real King of Qi's party.

Although Ji Si is a member of King Qi's party, that is not a reason to take him down. There are other aspects to start with. Therefore, Shi Hui and "Ji Zhongzheng are talking about identity and talent, what skills can he do in this county?" Who is qualified to judge the whole county? Is there any favoritism and unfairness in his appraisal of people? Have you seriously investigated the above, as a great zhongzheng? ”

Favoritism? It's not fair? Of course, it is unfair, also as a newcomer to the office, his son has no achievements but is rated as a third grade, while Shu Yan's name is in the township, and he is excellent in both ability and ability, but he is rated as a fifth grade, which is the biggest unfairness. That's not all, Ji Si is also very attentive to himself, for so many years, he knows best in his heart that he will be promoted if he has made achievements; If he keeps the original product with a bad record, but does not reduce the product for him, what is he not satisfied with? He gave me a lot of benefits, and he must have given Ji Si a lot, and the three of us just tacitly understood it. He said that Ruyin Shiren did not give him face, and said that Ji Si was not qualified to be this Zhongzheng...... Jia Gong pondered the meaning of Shi Hui's words repeatedly in his heart, and seemed to understand: Ah! Could it be that he wants to replace Ji Si and be the Zhongzheng of this Ruyin himself? He kept saying that he was the number one family in Ruyin, and the implication was that this Ruyin Zhongzheng should be done by him, and he also used the banner of the crown ceremony to give me an additional 200 acres of fertile land, what else could it mean if this was not the case?

Thinking of this, Jia Gong laughed dryly and said: "Thinking about it carefully, as the state capital, I am indeed suspected of negligence in Ji Zhongzheng, thanks to Shi Hou's reminder, after I go back, I will investigate him thoroughly." If there is indeed an unfair evaluation, I will give Situ a clear opinion, remove Ji Si from the post of Ruyin Zhongzheng, and choose another qualified person to do it. ”

"Dazhongzheng is really wise, with Jiazhou here, it is really a blessing for our Yuzhou people."

"Shi Hou has won the award, as the state capital, it is what I should do to supervise the small Zhongzheng below."

Speaking of this, Shi Hui pulled Jia Gong's hand away and put the 200 acres of land deed into his palm. Of course, Jia Gong no longer shirked, just now because he was unmeritorious, and now he has a favor for himself, of course, he can smile and accept it with dignity.

After the two finished speaking, they went back separately. I thought I didn't know the ghosts, but I didn't want to be listened to by Shu Yanquan. Shu Yan didn't want to be an eavesdropper, but since he had heard the beginning, if he went out rashly, it would be even more embarrassing for the two. He thought: Ji Si's position as a Zhongzheng is probably not guaranteed, and compared with Ji Si's status and connections in the court, Jia Gong will of course maintain Shi Hui. If Jia Gong wants to check Ji Si's stain, it must be accurate, which of the 173 counties of the Great Jin Dynasty is clean? The world is as black as a crow, and whoever does Zhongzheng is the same, but it is just a battle between their clans, and they are not involved with the poor scholars.

A few days later, Shu Yan really saw the transcript of Jia Gong of Yuzhou Dazhongzheng, and impeached Ruyin Xiaozhongzheng Ji Sisi for favoritism, indiscriminate comments, and unfair evaluations, and recommended Shi Hui, a loose horseman, to take over as Ruyin Zhongzheng. The people in Situ Mansion and the Ministry of Officials all have friendships with Shi Hui, coupled with Jia Gong's recital, they are all a favor, and Shi Hui has become Ruyin's Zhongzheng without any suspense. When the people of Ruyin heard that Shi Hui had become the new Zhongzheng of Ruyin, they all regretted it, hated themselves for being short-sighted, and regretted not worshipping the true immortals.

What Shi Hui cares about is not how much money he can make as a Zhongzheng, but what he can do as a Zhongzheng, which can greatly increase his status in the township. On the day of the appointment, Shi Hui and Shi Biyu, father and son, each took a car home. Shi Hui has a knighthood, so he rides in a two-horse carriage; Shi Biyu rode in the standard configuration of the secretary Lang - the deer car, which is a relatively narrow car, which can only accommodate one deer, so it is called the deer car. The father and son happily got out of the car in front of the house, and were supported to go in, and when they saw Mrs. Wang, they told the reason, and the whole family was naturally happy.

Shi Biyu said: "Ah Weng, now all the gentlemen in Ruyin are all judged by you, and they all have to look forward to you to see if they dare to take us in their eyes!" ”

Shi Hui closed his eyes with a smile: "What do you think of this Zhongzheng position?" ”

"Of course, if you like it, you will give him a good review, and if you don't like it, you will give him a bad review. I think it's more interesting than being an ordinary court official. ”

"Since you know that you are doing well, then you have to make some achievements in terms of moral ability, and I am afraid that this position of Ruyin Zhongzheng will not be yours in the future?"

"Then what's the matter, this position of Ruyin Zhongzheng belongs to your father, how can I fight with you?"

"Hmph." Shi Hui sneered, "Silly boy, do you think I just want to be confined to being a county center?" ”

"Father means ——?"

"Of course, it's Yuzhou Dazhongzheng. Slowly, I want to let Jia Gong Jisi's two old thieves get aside and give way to our father and son. Therefore, you have to establish a reputation as soon as possible, as the saying goes, 'iron needs to be hard'. ”

"That's better, to be the big zhongzheng of a state, think about it, the ten counties of Yuzhou, how many people do you have to do, with a stroke of the pen, you can evaluate how you want, and the evaluation is more enjoyable than counting money."

Mrs. Wang smiled beside her: "Silly boy, when did you see your father count the money?" Our family has thousands of family assets, if they are all exchanged for five baht, all of them will make you a person, and you will not be exhausted to death? ”

The father and son who said it both laughed, and Shi Hui said: "Do you think that to be a state's Dazhongzheng is to evaluate all the people in the entire state, how is it possible?" The state is only responsible for evaluating the most important people in the state, and the general officials are evaluated by the county and the county, and the state is just a gatekeeper. ”

"How not? You see, take me and Shu Yan as examples, they are both fledgling juniors this year, aren't they all personally checked by Jia Dazhongzheng? ”

"Of course you two are different, Shu Yan relies on his real skills, and his reputation even knows the history of Yuzhou's assassination, how can the state not pay attention to it? As for you, just because it's my son, otherwise, you would have been ticked off in Ruyin Zhongzheng, and you can still have today? ”

Shi Biyu bowed his head, and Shi Hui continued: "Shu Yan, now as Shang Shulang, he is already conscientious in his work, coupled with his quick thinking, he has won the appreciation of Shang Shu Ling Wei Qiang, one day, I am afraid that the emperor will also pay attention to this person." Nowadays, most of the children of wealthy families like to talk, not pragmatic, such as Shang Shulang, a very experienced position, the children of the scholar clan are tired and disdainful to do it, and the idle position of secretary Lang has become the first choice for the children of the A family to start an official. I'm worried that in the long run, the government and politics will have to be controlled by the children of the poor family, and the noble class will decline sooner or later. ”

"Father, you also know that although Shang Shulang's position is heavier than that of Secretary Lang, His Majesty is worried that Shang Shutai's power is too centralized, and he intends to improve the status of Zhongshu Province and then merge the Secretary Pavilion into Zhongshu Province, so Secretary Lang is not useless."

"Hmm, then tell me, you have been a secretary for a while, what important things does the emperor ask you to do every day?"

"There is no important thing yet, and now the emperor divides the palace books into four parts: A, B, C, D, and our secretary Lang is in charge of one of them, reviewing and correcting errors."

"What books have you checked?"

"The Five Classics, the Analects, and the like are naturally the business of Confucianism, and some historical works have been checked and corrected many times by our predecessors.

"Naturally, it is not your turn to check the Five Classics. Of course, you are checking miscellaneous books, how can there be so many classics for you to check, unless you find the lost Confucian classics. ”

"You're talking about the Book of Music?"

"Yes, there were six Confucian classics in the pre-Qin period, namely "Poems", "Books", "Rites", "Music", "Yi", "Spring and Autumn", but in the Qin period, the "Book of Music" was lost, so it became the current "Five Classics", which has been hundreds of years, and the court and the people of the world are sorry for it."

"What's the solution, it's been so long, it's impossible for that classic to recreate the light of day."

"I naturally know this, although it is more leisurely to be a secretary, but you should not underestimate the fact that you are in charge of the books, which is something that many people dream of."

"Why?"

"It's because your secretary's cabinet has all the books in the world. Some people give up high-ranking officials and want to be secretaries, in order to be able to read a wide range of books, do you know, except for the secretary's pavilion, there is no second place in the world that has so many books, so this is also a great opportunity for you, and it will be beneficial for your future promotion, if you change Shu Yan's kid, I am afraid that you will be happier than getting a mountain of gold, and you don't even want to go home. ”

"No matter how hard you try, he is only a child of the Shu clan, can he still have a bright future?"

"Don't always look down on the Hanmen Shu clan, the Shu clan will rise one day after all. Don't you know, now even the Hu people in the northwest have attached themselves to our Great Jin, like the Xiongnu Liu Yuan, Xianbei Murong Diao, etc., are actively learning the culture of the Central Plains. ”

"No matter how the Hu people learn the culture of the Central Plains, their essence is different after all, as the saying goes, 'if you are not of my race, your heart will be different', and the attachment is only superficial. Father, you have also heard, some time ago, this Murong Diao wanted to ask our emperor to send troops to help him avenge because he had a grudge against the Yuwen Ministry, but the emperor did not agree, so he became angry and wantonly killed and looted at the border, and the dead were very heavy, so these people are jackals, and they may bite you one day. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, the emperor has already sent someone to ask for it, you still have to think about how to be your secretary."

After Shi Hui finished speaking, he closed his eyes and rested his mind. Shi Biyu saw that his father was a little tired, and he was desperate, so he hurriedly retired with Ah Miao and Ah Yan.
