Chapter 286 Examination for the country
Chapter 286 Examination for the Country
The next day, Su You rode on his horse and arrived at the Ministry of Rites leisurely.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites had just finished hosting the Spring Festival. Knowing that this boy was Jinke Tanhua, the minister came out to meet him personally: "What's the matter with Xiaosu Tanhua? After serving in the imperial court, there are many people who complain about injustice for Mingrun."
Su You smiled and said: "The chief ministers have their own considerations. Su You understands this."
The waiter smiled and said: "It's good to understand. You are still young. Even if you relocate in two years, you will still be sixteen years old. You have a bright future."
Su You held up his hand and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Minister. Su You came here today just to hear about one thing."
The waiter asked: "What's the matter?"
Su You smiled and said, "It's like this. Last year, the imperial court ordered everyone to recommend talents. Su You is ashamed that he and his cousin Mingyun were among the recommended ones in Meizhou."
"This year, all the scholars who practice righteousness and literature will be sent to the capital together to study at Taixue, that is, to test and discuss policies in Shirenyuan. I heard that even if you refuse to take the test, you will be appointed as the supervisor?"
The servant's heart skipped a beat, Damn, it's over! The prime minister has lost his mind!
In other words, Su You didn't have to take part in the imperial examination at all, but he was still qualified enough to be appointed as the general supervisor!
The dignified and upright prostitute, and the same treatment as those old and virtuous people promoted by the local government who failed to pass the test?!
As a result, the court makes repeated appointments and the treatment is obviously unfair, which will brew into a political storm in the blink of an eye!
Sweat suddenly broke out on the minister's forehead.
Only then did Su You salute again: "In order to stabilize the political situation of the imperial court, Su You had no choice but to think about it and came up with only one strategy."
The waiter was grasping at a life-saving straw: "What's the plan?"
Su You bowed and said seriously: "You, please ask the trial production department!"
The waiter was dumbfounded: "This... this..."
The system department was established for officials from foreign countries to be promoted to Beijing officials and to select outstanding cadres. The position was very precious.
Outer court officials, especially grassroots cadres, are promoted much faster than officials in the capital.
For people like Su You, if age is not taken into account, the magistrate of Shangxian County and the general magistrate of Zhongzhou County are generally the ones who are sent abroad. If they do well, they can be promoted to the magistrate of Shangzhou County in a few years if they move every two years.
If a foreign official comes back with the rank of general judge, then the court will treat him with positions such as knowing and making imperial edicts, serving as censor, etc. This is the path Lao Zhang took back then.
However, this path is not suitable for someone like Su You who has a first-class background. The starting point itself is too high. If he tries to do this, he will take advantage of the shortcuts on both sides. Is it okay to be promoted to the top at a young age? What happens next?
Be a powerful minister?
But now this matter is causing trouble...
The waiter didn't dare to make the decision anymore: "Mingrun, please sit down for a moment, and I'll report it to the Chunguan to see how to deal with it."
Su You stood up and said: "It doesn't matter, I'll just go back and wait for the news. This matter may even alarm the Prime Minister, so you can discuss it slowly. Even if the court maintains the previous discussion, it doesn't matter. Everything is subject to the opinion of the Privy Council. I
Just cooperate fully."
As soon as the pot was thrown out, Han Qi caught it and was immediately stunned.
Let the local government promote virtuous people, who knows there is a fourteen-year-old "virtuous" among a group of old men!
After carefully reading the reasons for the recommendation, this fourteen-year-old turned out to be the most virtuous one!
The local report is impeccable!
You said you are so young, why are you so anxious to do so many things locally when you have nothing to do?
You said you are so young, why are you so anxious to take the scientific examination when you have nothing to do?
The scientific examination is the scientific examination, but he is still in the first grade of high school!
You said you were so young, why did you do so well on the exam?!
The same goes for Lao Wang, why did you take out this kid’s papers when you have nothing to do?!
In fact, it is not impossible to maintain the previous agreement. Han Qi is not afraid of others poking his back on small issues of personal discrimination.
There are only so many duties. It’s normal for a carrot to have a hole in it, and a bowl of water to be uneven.
The key is to repeat the appointment! This is treating the imperial official selection system as a child's play. Such a big joke has been made. None of the imperial officials are vegetarians!
Therefore, the solution proposed by Su You was the national examination, which really became the only solution to this problem.
There are still a few months left in the production department. Let this kid sign in and check in as a production supervisor every day. This is considered to have a work resume.
Then sign up for the system-making course. This is in line with the process and is justifiable. It is a normal shortcut for officials to be promoted.
In the official examination system, the grade requirements are a bit small, but this kid is the top pick, and his grade is already high, and he has already passed the threshold.
Although there has never been a prodigy in the country who was so idle that he took the examination for the system. He knew that if he failed, the impact on his reputation would be great, but the system did not stipulate that he could not take the first-class, third-class examination, right?
This can also be construed as someone who wants to change jobs in this way, right?
When Su You proposed to take this exam, he was truly sympathetic to the court because his efforts were not proportional to his gains.
Not applying for the exam would have only advantages and no disadvantages for Su You.
The dirty water splashed down, all on the court. Not only did he not get any of it, he also gained the sympathy of both the government and the public.
If he passes the exam, the benefits he gets will only be a small promotion in his position, which can be ignored compared to the big jump of becoming a foreign official to a Beijing official.
Is it okay for the three leaders on the Huangbang list to be awarded the title of official from the capital, who are actually real officials?
The fourteen-year-old Tanhualang, even if he fishes every day from now on, he will be able to be a minister in a few decades, okay?
Han Qi went through it in his mind before Su You proposed this solution. There was nothing wrong with it.
So the next step is to persuade His Majesty.
Officials may not agree with this plan yet!
…
Of course Zhao Zhen didn't want to agree.
My child prodigy, Tanhualang, actually signed up for the entrance examination? Is it even more ridiculous?!
After a hundred years of literature and education in the Song Dynasty, I finally got a real auspicious sign from me. What if I fail the exam?!
Han Qi, will you pay?!
Han Qi was filled with shame and took off the futou: "Your Majesty, I have betrayed my grace and mishandled the situation. Now I am in panic and have no basis. I have no choice but to resign from Your Majesty."
Zhao Zhen waved his hand: "I won't deal with an important minister of the country for the sake of a child. Han Qing, don't worry, there is really no other way to save the problem now?"
Han Qi shook his head helplessly.
Zhao Zhen closed his eyes, feeling so heartbroken that he almost couldn't help it. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "It's hard for this kid. At a young age, he knew that Zhou Tuguo was..."
"Tell me about you, huh? He has to use his age as a factor... If he didn't care about his age and just arranged his duties normally, how could something like this happen? Now it's like this..."
Han Qi was also worried about Japan: "I am ignorant."
"Alas..." Zhao Zhen wiped his forehead: "That's all, Fu Bi just left for the funeral, and you spent a lot of effort to stabilize the court situation. It was also a moment of negligence... After all, the court's dignity is the most important thing, so I agreed.
This kid must have a loyal heart..."
Han Qi's forehead was covered with sweat, and he bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for keeping me safe."
Zhao Zhen waved his hands in disinterest: "Thank you for what I am doing? Thank you so much for Mingrun..."
…
Su Shi slapped the proclamation from the Ministry of Rites in front of Su You: "This is the solution you told me?!"
Su You was doing the question: "Otherwise? Watching the censors making trouble, watching Mr. Han resigning, watching the court in turmoil because of me?"
Su Shi was speechless: "But this is such a loss! What if... what if..."
"What if you fail the exam? Then just let me..."
Su Shi glared: "What do you mean by the Chinese Election? Even if I let it go, if the article doesn't catch the eyes of the big guys, it will still be scrapped! It's not impossible not to select one person for the system!"
Su You smiled and said: "Then hurry up and call Ziyou over and study together. The arrow is on the string and must be fired. What can I do about the trouble caused by the big guys?"
…
Su You's reputation has been greatly enhanced. This is no longer an innate benevolence. This is true thinking about Zhou Xiang, taking the overall situation into consideration, sacrificing himself for others, and being loyal to the country.
Regardless of whether he passed the administrative examination or not, no one in the court will use his age to make a decision anymore. Su Mingrun, this is to serve the country by taking the exam...
Every day, Su You would go to sign in the superintendent. The superintendent immediately vacated a room and sent two veteran soldiers to wait on him.
Mingrun, do you want to be so honest? Studying and preparing for the exam is the real thing. If this is broken, I will sign it for you!
If you really can't send someone on a casual mission, just say that you are going to inspect prices and you won't be able to come back until three to five months later?
Su You smiled and said: "Thank you very much for your kindness. I will be in charge of my duties. Things should be done."
The magistrate shook his head and sighed: "It's a blank piece of paper. I think when I first entered the official career, I had a character like yours... It's rare, it's really rare..."
Everyone thought that Su You had a noble character and was willing to harm himself for the sake of the overall interests of the imperial court. No one thought that this was not the case at all!
After several examinations by the Su family, this child discovered that he, a butterfly, had not had much influence on the Song Dynasty today.
For example, when Su Shi was taking the exam, Ouyang Xiu's question was exactly the same as what he knew.
Even the content fabricated by Su Shi and Ouyang Xiumei and Yao Chen were completely consistent!
No one in future generations who are not professional historical researchers will know what the questions are in each imperial examination.
Therefore, my top score was obtained through hard work and hard work. It was the result of nine years of hard study, three years of answering questions, and hard work!
But again and again, the big guys are so unfair!
Chapter completed!
