Chapter 48 There are rivers and lakes everywhere

After hearing this, Yang Ze felt a deep heart. His original meaning and actual approval seemed different. I guess Mr. Wei did not agree to this matter, but why did Mr. Wei not agree? He should take this opportunity to repay his kindness for curing his son's illness?

Then Han Pan continued, "But Wei Hou replied, saying that if you ask you to become an official directly, it will have a great impact on your future. So before Qi Jinsi officially resigns, you should first study the "Dafang Rule" with him and become familiar with the atmosphere in the yamen. When Qi Jinsi leaves, he will find an unrelated person to temporarily serve as the judicial officer. Then, what should he do, and then he will slowly consider it."

Seeing that Yang Ze's respectful expression was not diminished, both of them felt a little disgusted. They were afraid that he would misunderstand, so Xiang Chengwei gave him a special explanation. This reply was not that Wei Hou was not kind, but that Wei Hou was too kind and considered Yang Ze in all aspects.

There are several types of officials in the generous officialdom, some who are well-behaved as officials, some who are in charge of military merits, and some who are recommended to be officials after being favored by noble people. For example, Yang Ze was favored by Han Pan and Xiang Chengwei, and recommended him as a judicial chief, which is the case. In addition, there are even those who donate officials, but these ways of becoming officials are all in the same way, and they are not as good as those who are in the imperial examination.

The court clearly stipulated that those who are not Jinshi are not allowed to enter the Political Affairs Hall. That is to say, if an official is not from a Jinshi, he cannot be a prime minister. Moreover, this provision has been extended by those who are from a Jinshi, and has become that he cannot not only enter the Political Affairs Hall, but also cannot be an official of the Six Ministry. In other words, those who are not Jinshi cannot be a Shangshu.

The highest official position of the Dafang Empire was firmly held in the hands of officials who were born in Jinshi, and even the emperor could not shake it.

It is too far away to be the Minister of State or Prime Minister at a young age, but the Marquis of Wei was very interested in thinking that Yang Ze could, and he did not intend to stop Yang Ze's further development by repaying his favor, and he could only hang out in a low-ranking official position for the rest of his life.

If Yang Ze had become the judicial chief of Guazhou now, it seemed that he would have reached the top in one step, but in fact, his future in this life would have reached this point. It would be difficult to get out of Ningbei Road. At most, when he gets old and has a white beard and hair, he will become the governor Dangdang, and that would have been the same.

But taking the path of scientific research is not like this, but another path.

It is inevitable that Yang Ze will be the scholar to take the exam next year, and it will be inevitable that he will go to Daoli Ju and get an exam the next year. It is also inevitable that he will be the judge again. These are all on the territory of Wei Hou. If you operate it secretly, there will be no problem.

After a juren, it was difficult to do. At that time, Yang Ze wanted to go to Beijing to take the Jinshi exam. In the Dafang Empire, the difficulty level was similar to crossing a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops. Every year, there would definitely be more than 3,000 students who entered Beijing. There might be only 30 people who passed the Jinshi exam at most. In previous years, there were less than 30 people. It was common for more than 20 people. Even when only a dozen people were selected, the remaining people were the same as the Jinshi.

The same Jinshi represents the treatment of the same Jinshi, but because the word "六" is added, it also means that it is not a true Jinshi. From the establishment to the development of the imperial examination system, it has been less than a hundred years since its establishment, so there is still a big difference between being a Jinshi or a Jinshi.

The Marquis of Wei still hoped that Yang Ze could have greater development, which would not only benefit Yang Ze, but also benefit him. But from now on, until Yang Ze entered Beijing to take the Jinshi exam, even if everything went well, it would take at least three years. Then the position of judicial chief cannot be left for Yang Ze for three years, so other "irrelevant" people need to be temporarily appointed as this official.

If Yang Ze successfully passed the Jinshi exam, then the judicial chief would have nothing to do with him. The court would arrange official positions, such as joining the Hanlin Academy, but if he failed, he would return to Guazhou to become an official and become a judicial chief as a juren. No one could gossip, which was also a way out for Yang Ze.

Xiang Chengwei explained the painstaking efforts of Wei Hou to Yang Ze in detail. He was so thirsty that he picked up a teacup to drink tea. Han Pan looked at Yang Ze, wanting to see what his expression was!

Yang Ze understood what Wei Hou meant, and felt a little moved. He had never even met Wei Hou. He could only think about him like this. This is not enough, what else can it be!

Yang Ze nodded heavily and said, "Students are sincerely grateful to Mr. Wei for their arrangements, and also thank the two adults for their consideration for the students. Students will definitely study hard in the future and strive to pass the Jinshi exam!"

Han Pan clapped his hands and smiled, "Well said, if you are so excited that you burst into tears after listening to the words of Lord Xiang, and thank you in gratitude, then we will underestimate you."

"It's good to be neither humble nor arrogant!" Xiang Chengwei also praised.

Han Pan said: "Next, you will always walk in the judicial room under the name of studying the "Dafang Law". Of course, since you are studying, you must look like learning. Master Xiang and I mean that all the case sects in this state must be handed over to you first, and you will find the relevant regulations from the "Dafang Law" and then handed them over to the judicial Gongcao to decide. Before the Gongcao decides, you can explain how the officials do it, or you can examine the criminals in advance, just treat it as being familiar with the judicial process."

Instructing the officials to do it, it is actually just to undermine the judicial Gongcao. If the prisoners can be tried in advance, it is to give Yang Ze the opportunity to make money. Although Yang Ze is not good-non-class, he is just a yamen, but the benefits are real, and it is not less than that of the judicial Gongcao.

Yang Ze said: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid this is not in accordance with the rules. The students are afraid that they will cause unnecessary trouble to the two adults and cause gossip, which is not good!"

He laughed at Cheng Wei and said, "Rules are determined by people. And when others know that you are the leader of the judicial gongcao, they will not only not gossip, but will instead try to curry favor with you. If you don't believe it, just wait and see!"

Han Pan also comforted him a few words, so that he would not have to worry about any trouble. People in the officialdom have troubles every day, and it is no big deal. It is just a rare experience in life.

Yang Ze then said goodbye, left the flower hall, rushed to the judicial office, and went to meet his nominal subordinates.

The judicial office is located on the west side of the front yamen, with three separate yards and three main rooms. The middle is the office of the judicial Gongcao. The main room on the left is the place where officials work, and the right is the warehouse that specializes in case files. The wing rooms on both sides are where the constables stay. The yard is not small, second only to the Sihu House.

Today, the judicial room was full of people. Except for Qi Jinsi "rehabilitation" at home, all the officials and constables were here. The constables met Yang Ze and stayed in the wing room with Mu Gen, while the officials were all sitting in the office room with his left hand. There was no one asking for leave or going out. The room was silent, no one was talking, and the officials were thinking about their thoughts.

The officials came back from the constables and waited until now, and waited for half an hour, but the legendary Mr. Yang still did not show up. The officials were a little impatient to wait, and finally stopped silent and began to speak.

A dark-faced official said to an official sitting in the front row: "Mr. Jie, it seems that Master Qi will not come today. Will he... not come again in the future?"

The official in the front row turned around and was a man in his thirties with a national face and a slanted hat. He was very powerful. His name was Xie Wenxiu, and he was the official Gongcao Shuzuo. He was the most important assistant to Qi Jinsi. When Qi Jinsi was not in the yamen, he was the ruler of the judicial affairs in the room.

"There are three months left to go, and Master Qi has retired. This period of time is not short, so why won't he come!" Jie Wenxiu replied, and after saying that, he turned around.

After hearing this, the other officials began to whisper, just who should decide the final decision of the judicial room in the future. Everyone glanced at Jie Wenxiu from time to time, with different expressions. Some were gloating, some were full of sympathy, but more of them were not related to their own affairs, and they were hung high and indifferent.

Xie Wenxiu has a very high status in the judicial room. Not only does he have the status of a juren, but he also has strong ability to do things. With his personality of being able to live a muddle-by-thinking and living a life, Xie Wenxiu, as his deputy, almost took on all the business tasks in this room. It can be said that if he had not been to him, the judicial room would have been paralyzed.

Qi Jinsi wanted to retire. Everyone was mentally prepared for Qi Jinsi a year ago, but only three months left, but the above has not said whether to transfer officials from outside to take over, or whether the officials in the yamen will serve as the officials. It has never been clear who the position of the judicial master will be.

In this case, Jie Wenxiu will naturally attract the attention of his colleagues. Although no one said it clearly, he guessed that he might take over, and he would have at least 50% chance.

But a few days ago, a sudden change occurred. As soon as the case of the elder sister of the Yang family came out, Qi Jinsi went from taking the blame to solving the case, and then instantly went from getting the merits to recuperating the illness in the family. All this happened too suddenly. Jie Wenxiu was not mentally prepared at all. Before he could do it, he was a runner-up officer and received a notice saying that Yang Ze was coming to our room to study the "Dafang Rule". This was actually clear, and Yang Ze wanted to get a seat!

Only Han Pan and Xiang Chengwei knew how to arrange the arrangements for the Marquis of Wei. They would never tell the officials below. Of course, others would not have thought that Yang Ze would definitely become a judicial master. So Jie Wenxiu's efforts over the past few years have become the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror!

Jie Wenxiu felt extremely uncomfortable and even regretted it. When Qi Jinsi and Yang Ze left the city to solve the case, he did not follow him. He stayed in the yamen and the case was solved. No matter whether he had made merits or had made mistakes, it had nothing to do with him. It would be fine if he had not made merits and made me regret it. It would be great if he had left the city together that day.

Jie Wenxiu was thinking about how he would get along with Yang Ze in the future, but someone outside shouted: "Oh, Mr. Xiao Yang, you are here, please come in!"

The officials in the room all stood up and looked out the door together. They saw a well-dressed young man slowly walking into the yard. All the captains rushed to him and curled up with all their strength.

The officials looked at Jie Wenxiu again. Jie Wenxiu took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, let's go out together!" His tone was quite unkind.

Everyone in the room thought: "I have a good show. When the dragon crosses the river and meets the local snake, there will be a good open and secret battle!"
