Kyoto.

Inside the palace, the palace of nourishing hearts.

"There are three things to do next!"

Jiang Ling frowned slightly, and said with a solemn expression: "First, the imperial examination is imminent, many students have entered Kyoto, and the six departments have agreed to make Yang Ning, a member of the Cabinet University, the main examination, responsible for this imperial examination, what does Mr. Yao think?" ”

After Yao Shouyun heard this, he fell into deep thought.

The imperial examination can be said to be a major event related to the Wei state.

In the long run, it is related to the foundation of the Great Wei State.

Looking closely, it determines the strength of the party in the court.

That's right, after many students enter the court, they will stand in line on their own.

It's become an unwritten rule.

The imperial examination is held every four years, and the chief examiner of the last time was Liu Yanming, the first assistant of the cabinet.

Every student who enters Beijing has a powerful family behind him.

To a certain extent, the examiner can determine the candidate's score.

Naturally, whoever is the chief examiner, then in the next four years, this faction will be a little stronger.

"Your Majesty doesn't consider the Ministry of Works, Shangshu Li Jie, Lord Li?"

After pondering for a moment, Yao Shouyun asked suspiciously.

Although he has not been an official for a long time, he is still relatively clear about the situation in the court of the Great Wei State.

The chief examiner of the last imperial examination was Yang Ning, a scholar of the Cabinet University.

Theoretically, for the sake of party balance, the court should choose the Li party this time.

But His Majesty chose Yang Ning.

Come to think of it, this is one of the reasons why His Majesty summoned him into the palace.

"I won't consider the Ministry of Works!"

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Ling spoke.

Obviously, she already had the answer.

As soon as Yao Guangyun heard this tone, he understood.

Three parties in the court are enough.

The three parties contain each other.

Now that Dongchang has entered the game, then there is no need for the Li Party to exist.

"Your Majesty has already made a decision, and Wechen will definitely do his best to assist!"

Yao Guangyun showed his mentality.

Jiang Ling nodded.

The first question is actually not an inquiry at all, but to tell Yao Guangyun about his next plans.

"Second, the half-sage of Chu will arrive in Kyoto tomorrow, Mr. Yao's talent and strategy are all the leaders of the Great Wei, and the first emperor is even more honored as the emperor's teacher, and the Confucians of the Great Wei State went to Jingguo a month ago, and the people left behind are not talented."

"If the demi-saint is in a dilemma, I'm afraid only Mr. Yao can deal with it!"

Jiang Ling said with a solemn expression, this is also one of the problems she is more worried about.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this point, Weichen has already taken countermeasures, and the half-saints of the Chu State are following the court school, and they are not afraid."

Yao Guangyun responded.

Confucianism of the court school, even if it is to be disputed, it is also a controversial strategy.

Rather than controversing the way of the world.

He, Yao Guangyun, is really not afraid.

"It's good to have Mr. Yao's words, the day before yesterday, the spies sent back a message that the demi-saint will have a debate before the imperial examination! When the time comes, I will have to trouble Mr. Yao. ”

Jiang Ling added: "The third and most important thing, next, the various departments of the court will try their best to ask for taxes and silver for various reasons, and Mr. Yao, as the secretary of the Ministry of Finance, still needs to be checked. ”

Yao Guangyun understood as soon as he heard it.

This is a bit of a blame for not speaking when I asked for money from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs today.

If it were someone else, who had this relationship with His Majesty, he might complain.

But Yao Guangyun didn't, on the contrary, he was very pleased.

This is the sanity that an emperor should have.

The king is the king, and the minister is the minister.

Regardless of the private relationship, when it's time to beat, you have to beat!

This is the calmness that a mature emperor should have.

Gathering his thoughts, Yao Guangyun began to answer the empress's words.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen knows what to do next."

What else did Yao Guangyun want to say.

But after thinking about it for a while, I stopped.

Originally, he wanted to tell Xu Shouyun about it.

But considering that His Majesty did not take the initiative to mention it, and the previous change of rice to mulberry and paving into acres, His Majesty did not say it.

If he said Xu Shouyun's matter at this time, wouldn't it make His Majesty lose face?

Then the two chatted for a while.

Yao Guangyun left the palace.

Return to the residence of the government office.

Sitting in the study, Yao Guangyun frowned.

What should I do next?

Go directly to the East Factory to find Xu Shouyun?

That doesn't seem like a good fit, does it?

But if I don't say hello and turn around and ...... in the court, no, he already knows me.

So, go to the East Factory!

Do what you think.

Yao Guangyun stood up from the Taishi chair.

beckoned the subordinates to change their clothes.

When I was about to go out to the East Factory, I thought about something.

Turning around again, he put on the official uniform he had just taken off again.

Then he took a step and walked out the door.

……

East Factory Hall.

Xu Shouyun is reading the information gathered below.

[Lord Wang of the Ministry of Industry went to Yingchun Tower last night and summoned Siyu Oiran and Yuehua Oiran and Yuemei Oiran. 】

"Good guy, Lord Wang seems to be almost sixty, one to three! Can you carry it? ”

Xu Shouyun exclaimed and continued to open the next message.

[The wife of Lord Zhao of the Criminal Department, who had an affair with the owner of the cloth shop yesterday afternoon! ] Get out of the cloth shop in a matter of minutes! 】

"Tut-tut, this cuckold! Not even ten minutes of men. ”

Xu Shouyun continued to sigh.

[The son of Lord Liu of the Ministry of War, yesterday afternoon, secretly met with the general of the Seventh Battalion at a restaurant in the southern suburbs of Kyoto. 】

"Huh!"

Xu Shouyun looked stunned.

Finally saw a piece of useful information.

After leaving the court, he watched for several hours, most of which were trivial matters of Kyoto officials.

The rules set by Wang Xi before, but all those related to court officials must be submitted.

Leave it to the Overseer to see for himself.

Xu Shouyun did not revise this decision, this information is not very useful in normal times, but at a critical time, it may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

This is also a summary of the daily style of officials.

There is a file of hundreds of officials in the court, each of whom is here in the East Factory, which records in detail the relevant information collected by the East Factory.

I've watched the lace news for so long.

Finally see something useful.

"Lord Liu of the military department is a member of the Liu Party, but his son secretly met with the partial general of the Yanwang battalion."

Xu Shouyun pondered.

Start reviewing the dossier.

"Liu Yongquan, one of the important members of the Liu Party faction, entered Liu Yanming's disciple thirteen years ago and called the latter a teacher. In the middle of the following year, he was appointed as the magistrate of Nanjiao County in the same month......"

"The general of the seventh battalion, Wang Qin, a native of Donghu, age thirty-two, the Donghu Wang clan, is a strong supporter of the Yan Wang line, entered the camp at the age of sixteen, and served as the personal soldier ...... of the Yan King when he served in the Yan Wang army."

The dossier contains detailed information about Wang Qin.

"It's a little interesting, one is the core figure of the Liu Party, and the other is a cronie of King Yan."

"What trick is this Liu Yanming playing?"

Xu Shouyun pondered.

Just this one meeting information can deduce a variety of possibilities.

Bipartisan rapprochement?

It is unlikely that this kind of major event is not enough for a partial general and an official from the fifth grade.

Is Liu Yanming looking for King Yan in private to have something important?

It's not right, you can go to see King Yan in person.

Sending his men there was obviously not wanting others to know.

Then, it is very likely that Liu Yanming wants to convey some information to King Yan.

Xu Shouyun pondered.

Speculating.

It was at this time......

There's another chapter to come
