The next morning, Xu Yan and Chen Maoli went to the government office to pay homage to Magistrate Ma.

According to the old rules, the top ten children in the government examinations had to go to the government office to thank him. But for some reason, Zhang Yinian did not show up.

It is said that he was so angry that he couldn't get sick. There is also a saying that Mr. Zhang was very dissatisfied with the rankings set by the prefect and chose to protest silently.

No matter what, Zhang Yinian's move was a taboo in the officialdom.

However, Ma Shanyuan is in a happy mood when he is happy, so he doesn't care much.

He first praised the nine people in the hall, and then warned them to be cautious and to strive to win fame as soon as possible.

Afterwards, the children of the children thanked each other and left, but Xu Yan was left alone.

When everyone retreated, Ma Shanyuan said leisurely: "I have been busy handling the handover with the Magistrate Zhao County, and almost forgot to tell you a big thing. Fortunately, you came to thank me today and reminded me of the mansion."

Xu Yan hurriedly bowed and said, "I would like to ask my elders for advice."

"I have read the new period of the official report. In addition to Governor Zhu, the change of the official and the Zhao County Magistrate, there are also candidates for appointment and removal. Among them are candidates for Zhejiang to promote academic officials."

Ma Shanyuan's words were really impressive and shocked Xu Yan.

"Sir, has the candidate selected for the school official?"

Ma Shanyuan nodded and said, "The new Zhejiang school promotion official is Lord Lei Li Lei."

This candidate was expected by Xu Yan.

However, according to his memory, Lei Li should have taken office in the 27th year of Jiajing.

Why are you a few months ahead of schedule now?

Ma Shanyuan seemed to see Xu Yan's doubts, stroked his jaw and beard, and lowered his voice and said, "It is said that this matter was arbitrary matter of Your Majesty. That is, it happened shortly after offering auspicious auspiciousness."

After hearing this, Xu Yan felt mixed feelings.

Could it be that his actions of presenting auspiciousness made Emperor Jiajing think that Zhejiang’s people were outstanding and that they should send academic officials to select talents for the Ming Dynasty earlier?

It makes sense to think about it carefully. Now Yan Song and Xia Yan are from Jiangxi in the cabinet, and there is even a saying that all the civil and military officials in the court are half of Jiangxi. Emperor Jiajing was a man who was a master of power and was naturally unwilling to see this situation.

The core of the imperial art is checks and balances, and one party must not be the only one.

Too many officials from Jiangxi must have made Emperor Jiajing alert, so he turned his attention to Zhejiang.

I have to say that Emperor Jiajing's vision was very vicious.

Looking at the history of the Ming Dynasty, Zhejiang is the one who can compete with Jiangxi.

Ji'an Prefecture, Jiangxi and Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang can definitely be regarded as the top academic master's office, with countless Jinshi from both offices.

It is a little ironic that Lei Li, the new Zhejiang school-promoted official selected by Emperor Jiajing, is also from Jiangxi...

Seeing Xu Yan a little disappointed, Ma Shanyuan felt embarrassed and said, "Lai Ti will come to Zhejiang to take up his post in a short time, so the college examination will not be held during this period. When Lei Ti Ti Ti will arrive in Zhejiang, he will definitely go to various prefectures and counties to preside over the presidency."

This was no different from a major blow to Xu Yan. Originally, he was familiar with Ma Taifu and Zhao County Magistrate. Even if Magistrate Ma was promoted, Zhao County Magistrate filled the vacancy left by him.

As long as the court does not appoint a school-promoting officer in a short period of time, the power of the presidency of the college examination will definitely fall on the prefect. In this way, Xu Yan will successfully pass the college examination and get the reputation of a scholar.

But now Lei Tixue is about to take office, and no one dares to make a taboo at this critical moment and go to the hospital for the examination.

Isn’t that the face of Da Lei Tixue?

The school official is a fourth-rank official and is at the same level as the prefect.

When you look up, you will see each other. How can you get along with each other?

Magistrate Ma doesn’t know, and neither does County Magistrate Zhao.

Alas, this is really worse than that of God.

But now that things have come to this point, depression cannot solve the problem.

The matters of the college entrance examination can only be discussed for a long time.

"Thank you, Mr., for your advice."

No matter what, it is always good to be able to get first-hand news from Ma Shanyuan.

In Xu Yan's impression, although this Lei Tixue is from Jiangxi, he has no friendship with Yan Song and Xia Yan, the two cabinet ministers.

In this way, he doesn't have to worry that he will be labeled as Yan Song and Xia Yan if he has a good relationship with Lei Ti.

After all, these two ended up miserably. When the tree falls and the money scatters, the followers will not have any good results.

As for Lei Li itself, there was no dark spot. He presided over the practice of many works and eventually became the Minister of Works. He died in the ninth year of Wanli and lived to be 76 years old.

Xu Yan will definitely not lose if he worships such a great master as his master.

The only question is how to get online with this great master.

Xu Yan kept thinking about various possibilities in his mind, but heard Ma Shanyuan say leisurely: "There is another thing that I want to remind you. I heard that you had a rift with Zhang Yinian in Yin County, and Zhang Yinian was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted. It's nothing that young people are competing for strength, but after all, Zhang family in Chahu is the leader of the four prominent families in Yin County, and his uncle is also the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War. I can't say much about the things next to me, so be careful."

Xu Yan thought to himself that this Magistrate Ma always speaks so cautiously, and you will guess half of the words yourself.

Forget it, just be more careful.

"Remember the teachings of the elders."

"Well, I'm a little tired, so you can step down."

Ma Shanyuan waved his hand, and Xu Yan bowed and said he was leaving.

......

......

This time, the government office still received some useful information. After Xu Yan returned to Tailai Inn, he told Chen Maoli about the suspension of the school examination.

Chen Maoli sighed that he was about to say goodbye to Xu Yan, and he felt very reluctant to leave.

"Since the hospital examination will not be held in a short period of time, Brother Yu is going to go back to Cixi. My brother must take care of himself!"

After a moment of pause, Chen Maoli chanted:

"I want to say that I am going to return to the future,

I want to talk about the spring appearance and swallow my miserableness first.

Life is full of love,

This wish is not related to the wind and the moon.

Don't revise the song of separation,

A song can teach you the heart.

You must see all the flowers in Luocheng,

It’s easy to get along with the spring breeze.”

To be honest, after getting along with Chen Maoli for so many days, the two have become real friends.

In other words, this is Xu Yan's first friend of the same age in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, he cherished this friendship very much and was about to say goodbye. He felt mixed feelings.

Chen Maoli's behavior of reciting poems was really sensational. For a moment, Xu Yan's emotions were nowhere to be released, and he couldn't help but chant:

"The rain in Ningbo has added a bit of autumn. However, at this time, I heard it for no reason, and the Siming bagpipes. The city is close to me and I can't stay. I forgot each other for a long time, but I remember each other here. I leaned against the white dew and red maple, gradually moving away from each other, and the world is farther and farther away.

Desolate. How can the general famous scholars disappear on the day of Qianlou? They have a soap hat and a lame donkey, the west wind is shining, and they are tired of traveling. After twenty years, the south of the Yangtze River is still falling and till they are lamenting, and they are hard to find a close friend. You must love wine and be able to poetry, understand the lake without any harm, and have a straw raincoat and a hat."

Chen Maoli was confused for a moment.

It took him a long time to wake up as if he was a dream. He held Xu Yan's hands excitedly and said, "Don't worry, brother Shi, the friendship between you and me is unchanging. Because he does not complain, it remains unchanged!"

Xu Yan nodded: "Because you don't complain, you won't change."
