Lay to win!Cannon fodder, he has become the chief assistant

Feng Manman and An Jiahe's marriage was settled, and Liu Ruolan felt that she had one less thing to worry about.

It's not that Liu Ruolan can't afford the dowry gift of tens of taels of silver, it's just that there are some things she can help with, but others she can't.

In the past few years, besides being taught by Xie Xiuwen from time to time, she also learned a lot about housekeeping from Gao Shi and Xu Ruyi.

If the old lady of the Xie family was here, I'm afraid that no matter what, she couldn't believe that the woman who was talking and laughing with the nobles and doing things decisively in front of her would be her daughter-in-law who had been beating, scolding and ridiculing her so much that she didn't dare to lift her head.

At the same time, a major event happened in the court!
The Dazhi Dynasty had a vast territory, and the education levels of different regions were different. In order to allow talents from backward regions to be recruited fairly, a district quota system was adopted for the imperial examinations since the ancestors.

In other words, those who can become officials cannot all come from those famous families, nor can they all be students who came from rich places.

Since the birthplace management was not in place when the country was first established, it was not easy to move the household registration for the imperial examination. This kind of imperial examination immigration behavior is called "false nationality", and the false nationality is not unique to this dynasty. It is an old disease.

In fact, it is not a big mistake to take the exam by pretending to be a registered citizen. It is just like how modern people move their household registration to take the college entrance examination in a place with a low admission score. Those students also want to pass the exam as soon as possible so that they can become officials so that their relatives can benefit from it. Live a better life.

It's just that if it's just an ordinary counterfeit, that's all.

However, after decades of experience, the matter has become more and more serious, which has aroused angry complaints from local students. The joint petition of hundreds of people was sent to the imperial court.

Of course, there is not only one such petition.

The root cause of these students' protests turned out to be only because of the college exam.

The academy examination is an examination hosted by the academic administration of each state. Children participate, and the candidates with the best scores are selected as scholars.

The court examinations in the Dazhi Dynasty were conducted twice in three years. The main reason for this year's concentrated explosion is that these gentlemen who have won the prize of scholar this year will be able to participate in the provincial examinations in various state capitals next year.

And there will be no college exam next year, so this year's college exam is the last chance for those students who have failed the exam for a long time, otherwise, they will not be eligible to participate in the rural exam next year.

The most important thing is that once you are selected as a scholar, you can enjoy different kinds of treatment. Even if you can't be an official, you will at least have a lot of benefits such as tax-free land, exemption from Yao labor, and exemption from kneeling when you meet the county magistrate.

This year's concentrated explosion is mainly because the talented people from countless places were clearly the top of the list in the child test before, but now they are not on the list in the college test, and the people on the top are all students they have never heard of. Layer upon layer, the intention is to attract the attention of the imperial court.

If things get serious, officials from one state and one government cannot suppress them.

The reason why the trouble came to the imperial court was mainly because of the murder case!
In Daxing County, Xiangzhou Prefecture, two children died violently in prison just three days after being imprisoned by local officials. , Letters of protest, etc. were all submitted to the heavenly hearing.

Emperor Wen Jing was furious!
In addition to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the officials of the Ministry of Officials were trembling.

At the Xiaochao meeting, Emperor Wen Jing scolded several ministers and servants so badly that they couldn't lift their heads, and even knelt down and dared not get up.

After a blast of evil fire, this matter has to be resolved, and the two children died unjustly in prison, no matter what, this is not a trivial matter.

We can't let those scholars keep making noise outside, as time goes by, it will be detrimental to the court's reputation.

Old Qin Ge said: "Your Majesty, this matter needs to be reduced rather than enlarged. Now only two children have died. As long as the imperial court sends people to appease the officials involved and bring them to trial, it will be fine to give those scholars an explanation. Your Majesty's furious anger is of no benefit to the body of the dragon, please calm your Majesty."

Some people agree with this statement, some are against it, and some are not convinced and dare not speak out against each other.

Xie Xiuwen is only a fifth-rank official. Naturally, his position cannot be at the front during the small court meeting.

What Qin Ge said just now seems to be reasonable, and it is also a quick way to solve the problem, but in fact, he didn't take it seriously, which obviously meant that he wanted to pick it up heavily and put it down gently.

If this is the case, the reputation of the imperial court may not be able to be restored, but it will chill the hearts of scholars all over the world.

Mr. Zheng Ge has always been at odds with Mr. Qin Ge, and at this time he said loudly: "My lord, what Mr. Qin Ge said just now is reasonable, please take care of your dragon body. As for the matter of pretending to be a native, I feel that it is still a faction. The important ministers will go to investigate and deal with it, and once the investigation is confirmed, they will never tolerate it, not just in Daxing County, but in my opinion, the entire Xiangzhou government should be strictly investigated."

A Xiangzhou Prefecture has a total of seven counties under its jurisdiction, two of which are large counties. Anyone with a discerning eye can imagine the stakes involved.

Mr. Qin Ge's face turned cold and he said angrily: "Master Zheng, what do you mean by this? Now it's just a case that happened in Daxing County by chance. Why is it necessary to make everyone angry? Besides, we need to investigate all the counties in the same prefecture. How can it be as simple as words? If it is inappropriate, it will actually make the officials outside feel cold. Please ask the Holy Spirit for a clear warning!"

This is said with a face of righteousness.

Do you really feel sorry for those officials who are away?
Of course not!

Xie Xiuwen listened, his expression unchanged, but he already had a steelyard in his heart.

There are many officials, large and small, in Xiangzhou Prefecture, but [-]% of them are probably from the old line of Qin Ge.

If he remembers correctly, the current Xiangzhou Government Xuezheng is a student of Elder Qin Ge, so it is no wonder that he spoke out in favor of him.

Not only Xuezheng, but also the governor of Xiangzhou, who is also inextricably related to Mr. Qin Ge. Mr. Qin Ge obviously does not want to damage the officials of his faction, but I don’t know if his careful maintenance will be able to achieve his wish up.

In a daze, Xie Xiuwen was called by Emperor Wen Jing.

"Xie Aiqing, tell me."

Xie Xiuwen was forced to stand in the hall, and before he could speak, Emperor Wen Jing waved at him again: "Come forward."

"Yes, my lord."

Xie Xiuwen had no choice but to take a few steps forward. At this time, the officials standing on the left and right sides were basically senior officials of the third grade.

"Reporting to the Holy Majesty, I think what Lord Zheng said just now is reasonable. If this matter cannot be thoroughly investigated, I am afraid it will cause greater panic and even resentment among scholars. The words of scholars in the world cannot be solved by soldiers Sealed. If it is not handled carelessly, it will damage the prestige of the imperial court, and please ask the holy judge."

Emperor Wen Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, he knew that the reason why Xie Xiuwen said this was definitely not because of the relationship between Mr. Zheng Ge and him, but probably because of deeper considerations.

Elder Qin Ge turned his head and scolded angrily: "The bastard is ignorant. It's just a small court exam, so how can it cause dissatisfaction among scholars all over the world? Could it be that Xie Jizhong deliberately made this matter big so as to gain some benefits for himself? ?”
