Su Ruyu left the capital on November 17, the 26th year of Fu Rui, and this time he came back was only September of the 29th year of Fu Rui.

But it doesn't matter, no one in the capital will use this reason to impeach Su Ruyu, not looking at the face of the monk and looking at the face of the Buddha, but for the face of his father Su Wang, including those who have always been unlikable, they will not stand up and say anything.

Today's court meeting, Su Ruyu, who already has an official body, was able to use the identity of a courtier to face the saint for the first time, but he is still just a county order with an official hat that has just arrived at the seventh grade, and after entering the Jinluan Palace, he consciously stood in the last row of positions.

But none of the people who were now qualified to stand in the temple dared to snub him because of this, and even the officials who stood at the end with him still scolded him in words and eyes, because everyone knew that as soon as the day was over, he would appear in the first rows.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

With this enduring sentence coming out of the mouths of the ministers, this morning's court meeting was considered to have kicked off, and after saying those polite words again, Chu Zheng turned the topic to today's main purpose.

"Where is Su Ruyu, the county magistrate of Taopu County, Huanan County, Bianzhou. ”

Hearing the voice of her father-in-law, Su Ruyu stood up from the last column without hurry, and then walked from the end to the front step by step.

He seemed to be measuring how many steps it would take to complete the road where he could see the end of his eyes.

Twelve steps!

But he also knows very well that this distance of only ten steps will take a lifetime for other people.

"Xiaguan Taopu County ordered Su Ruyu to see the emperor!"

He knelt on the ground respectfully, his voice was neither humble nor arrogant, neither the hippie smiling face that saw Chu Zheng before as if he saw his elders, nor the young man who was at a loss in front of Chu Zheng after doing something wrong.

This made Chu Zheng, who was sitting on the throne, nodded, with some satisfaction in his eyes, as if saying that your kid's release for three years really has some effect.

"Flat. ”

After seeing Su Ruyu stand up, Chu Zheng continued.

Su Ruyu, the champion of the imperial examination in the 26th year of Fu Rui, was later sent to Taopu County, Hualiu County, Bianzhou to serve as the county commander. But..."

After saying this lot of praise, Chu Zheng was choked up all of a sudden.

"Now there are no vacancies in the various positions of the officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee, what kind of official should I give you?"

Taking advantage of Chu Zheng's hesitation, Chu Tianxiong, who was standing beside Chu Wushuang, stood up and said after thinking for a while.

"Father, there was a rule in my dynasty that if you don't enter the Hanlin Academy, you can't enter the cabinet, although this Xiao Su has three years of practical experience in the county order, but now there are no extra positions to arrange, according to the wishes of the minister, this Xiao Su should go to the Hanlin Academy to polish his qualifications for a few years. ”

"Father, this matter is not allowed, now I Da Chu does not say that it is a waste to be revived, but when it is time to prosper, an experienced official like Lord Xiao Su should go directly to the court to serve in the court, instead of going to the noble Hanlin Academy to polish, that would be a waste of this rare talent. ”

Hearing his second brother's words, Chu Wushuang was in a hurry, so he hurriedly stood up to speak for Su Ruyu, because it was inconvenient for Su Ruyu to speak, after all, he was only a small county magistrate now, and even the little eunuch who was guarding the door at this time was of a higher grade than him.

And don't look at this Chu Tianxiong said it very well, in fact, he didn't have any good intentions, those words that he was not allowed to enter the cabinet seemed to be thinking about Su Ruyu, but in fact it was not.

Although the Hanlin Academy is the most noble yamen in the court, many people can't find the way to enter even if they want to, but this nobility also means that there is no real power inside, if Su Ruyu is brought in by Chu Tianxiong, then it will be difficult for him to intervene in the struggle between the two princes for at least three years.

And as long as Chu Tianxiong has achieved a huge advantage in the past few years, even if Su Wang's escort Su Ruyu will have a hard time! This is no wonder Chu Wushuang is so anxious! I have been waiting for a helper for three years, and you want to throw me into the Hanlin Academy?

In fact, at this time, it can be seen that Chu Zheng's hesitation was deliberate, he just wanted to see the battle between his two sons, for this, he can be said to have reached the point of being happy.

Seizing the opportunity that his father was still in his trance, Chu Wushuang hurriedly continued.

"Father, a few days ago, You Tianyi, the left waiter of the household department, put forward the idea of returning to his hometown because he was too old, but he was suppressed by you, father. ”

It stands to reason that the minister should not intervene in the matter of returning to his hometown, but he still said it at this time.

"Father, that old man is now seventy and fourteen years old, it's time to enjoy his old age, the reason why you didn't agree at that time was because you didn't find a suitable candidate, but now it's not Lord Xiao Su who is back, why don't you fulfill that old man's wish?"

As soon as Chu Wushuang's words were finished, an old man with a white beard stood up among the ministers.

"Tell the emperor that the home of the lower officials is not in the capital, but in Lingzhou, and it is said that people return to their hometowns and return to their roots. Therefore, please ask the emperor to let the old minister return to his hometown because he has no merit and hard work over the years!"

It can be seen that this old man, who has been half buried in the ground, really wants to go back, after decades of honor and disgrace in the capital, what else can he not see?

Chu Zheng sighed, waved his hand and let the two little eunuchs beside him go down and helped the Household Zuo Lang up.

"How can the boss say that he only has hard work and no merit? But it is true that I am greedy, at your age, I have been counting the days to live, but I still want to keep you by my side, this is because I have not considered it thoroughly. ”

Hearing Chu Zheng's words, the very old man burst into tears for a while, crying as happily as a child.

"Thank you for the emperor's grace!"

"Passing on my will, You Tianyi, the household servant, has been thinking about me for many years, and now he is old, and he is specially allowed to return to his hometown to recuperate. ”

Hearing Chu Zheng's will, this old man who was already old was even more excited, he was really afraid that he would burp in this court by accident, but of course, his performance was understandable, what an official hoped most was that he could return to his hometown.

But his position as a squire was originally just a third-grade official position, which is not to say that the official position of the third-grade is not high enough, but now Chu Zheng's words have raised his grade by a full grade, which shows that when he returns from the capital, he can do it according to the specifications and etiquette of the second-grade important minister.

There is also the name given by the Yiyuan layman, which shows that his imperial favor has not diminished, and no one dares to provoke him when he returns to the local area in the future.

"The old minister bows to thank the emperor for his grace!"

You Tianyi, who was in tears and was supported by the two little eunuchs, wanted to kneel down again, but the two little eunuchs helped him down the palace under Chu Zheng's instructions.

Looking at the excited look of the old man, I don't know how many people in the court showed envy, who doesn't want to be able to get a great emperor's favor when he retires successfully?

"Since Lord You has returned to his hometown, then Su Ruyu will fill the position of the left waiter of the household department!Zhao Yunqing, you don't have any opinions, right?"

Chu Zheng's words drew the attention of those ministers who had different thoughts, and the fat man Zhao who stood in the second row in front of him stood up with a smile and said.

"Hey, hey, your majesty, what can I say, I'm afraid that I have a small temple here, and I have wronged this Xiao Su!"

Su Ruyu hadn't spoken much since he stood on the court, and it wasn't until his official position was confirmed that he turned his head to look at Zhao Yunqing.

"Lord Zhao's words are tormenting me, who doesn't know that it was Lord Zhao who tightened the money bag for my Da Chu so that I Da Chu has never encountered a financial crisis over the years, it is my honor to be able to run an errand under Lord Zhao, but the kid has just arrived, and if there is anything that is not done well in the future, please take care of Lord Zhao. ”

"Hehe, I love to listen to your kid's words, unlike your father, who has practiced closed-mouth Zen all his life, he loves to be a good person, Lao Zhao, I don't like your father's virtue the most. ”

After Zhao Yunqing finished speaking, he deliberately glared at Su Wang, which made the latter cry and laugh a little, while Chu Zheng interrupted the conversation between the two with a chuckle.

"Okay, okay, all your polite words are left to private, I don't like to hear this, now you all stand back in your seats!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Zhao Yunqing was originally a scholar of the household department, and he was the largest group of people in the entire temple, so he was no different from usual.

It's just that Su Ruyu, who has just entered the court, sat in the position of the third-rank senior member in one day, surpassed most of the people above this temple in one fell swoop, and stood in the fourth row of Li You Tianyi's vacated position.

However, no one was surprised by this, if he did not sit in the position of the third rank but was just a small official, these courtiers would be surprised!

......

As soon as the time enters September, it means that this year's imperial examination is not far away, but compared with previous years, the scene of this year's imperial examination is much larger.

The students of Jinghua Academy graduate every three years, and this year happens to be the time when the first batch of students graduate, and this also shows that those who have studied in the academy for three years are about to show their ambitions in the imperial examination.

I have to say that since Qi Baihe sat in the position of the secretary of the ministry because of that absurd act back then, he has indeed selected many scholars who have learned and become rich in Dachu in the past few years, and with the appointment of these people, they have also been greatly supported by the people everywhere.

This also made Qi Baihe more and more important to Chu Zheng in recent years, and Chu Zheng almost didn't care about the imperial examination and the selection of officials, and left it to Qi Baihe to take care of.

Along with those literary academicians, there were also the first batch of small flag officials who were recommended from all over the world.

They will not participate in the imperial examinations, nor will they stay in Beijing to serve, but will be assigned to various places and borders to test the results, as long as they pass the test, the trend of the martial arts academy becoming bigger and bigger will be irresistible.

Now in addition to the four subjects of arithmetic, literary talent, political theory and decree, the imperial examination of Da Chu also has one more case, and Chu Zheng ordered the officials of various states and counties to submit the strange cases and strange cases encountered in the local area for those who read to judge the case.

I have to say that after this method came out, at least half of the readers were brushed off, which made those who only knew how to study hard and didn't know what people's livelihood was.

But as long as they pass this exam, they will naturally be more suitable to be officials.

September passed in a flash, October arrived as scheduled, and after a month, the imperial examination was already closed.

Now all the officials in the capital are looking forward to that list, and they want to see if this academy is as powerful as Lu Xiangrui imagined.

But when the results were released, everyone was taken aback, not because the results of the academy were not good, but because they were really good!

In the list of those who passed the examination, the students of the academy grabbed a full two-thirds of the places, which was the result of the deliberate suppression of Qi Baihe, the secretary of the ministry, who intercepted some students who were suitable for doing moral essays, and let them return to the academy to continue their studies, instead of running out to be officials.

In this way, under the loud exclamations of many officials in the capital, the first batch of scholars who came out of the academy were sent to various places to serve as basic officials.

I don't know what kind of changes this group of scholars who have been pinned on by Chu Zheng will bring to Great Chu!
