Chapter 485

Chapter 260 (1)
Accompanied by the gentle and slow sound of paper twirling, Yinreng said in a voice mixed with joy and pain: "So many?"

Yaerjiang also nodded and said in the same tone: "Who says it is not!"

As a responsible and self-motivated prince in charge of the clan's mansion, Yarjan'a has always dealt with matters within the scope of his duties immediately.Today's incident is no exception: another group of clan will be knighted, and he reported it to Yinfeng along with the clan census form.

At this moment, the two clan brothers are looking at the list in the Qianqing Palace.Not surprisingly, the clan's population has swelled both happily and worrisomely.Think back then, when everyone first decided to conquer the world, how many people did their family have?Now that I have written so much, it is really... so touching that I want to cry!It costs money to feed so many people and their families!
The two men looked at each other with tangled emotions, and they both saw emotion in each other's eyes.Then, with his face straightened at the same time, Yinfeng spoke first: "Let's do as we said."

Yaerjiang immediately understood: "Your brother, let's prepare."

What he wanted to prepare for was the exam, and Yinfeng added an extra sentence: "There are more and more people, pass on the word, I will come up with this year's questions myself. It's just one chance, if you pass, you will be rewarded, but if you don't, let's take a rest. "

No way, there are too many people in the clan.At the beginning of the country, there were still few clans. Like Qi Ding, everyone had great opportunities to get jobs, show their abilities, and obtain titles.Basically, as long as you have the same surname as the emperor, you can shine if you have a little ability.The Qing court possessed a large amount of resources, and tried its best to "serve the family with the world", and anyone who had anything to do with it had the opportunity to be rewarded with a title of title.

Under such a policy, the emperor's population expansion was greater than that of ordinary bannermen. Now, the resources are not enough, and it is no longer possible to spend a lot of money on them just because they are relatives like before.In the Kangxi Dynasty, apart from a belt around the waist, the material treatment of many clans was no different from that of ordinary bannermen.

One of the reforms of the clan system in the Kangxi Dynasty was to standardize the regulations on the succession and title of each clan.

Not only does it stipulate that the general idle clan receives the same amount of subsidies as the banner Ding, but it also stipulates the issue of the title of the sons of noble clans.That is to say, if it is hereditary, the eldest son will inherit, and the title will not be reduced.Hereditary, the eldest son inherits, and the title is reduced and inherited until it falls to General Feng En.If there is no hereditary, the noble will stop himself and not inherit (there are not many such cases).

For the rest of the sons, the title is determined according to the status of the biological mother, not because your father is the prince, you are the little prince.The other sons born by the prince's concubine are enfeoffed as Fuguo Dukes; the sons born in the concubine are the second-class town generals;And so on, until the idle clan.

Don't think that this is the end. In order to reduce the financial burden, put limited resources on relatives who have more potential for development.The imperial court also stipulated that all those who want to be knighted should take an examination before being knighted.If you pass the exam, you can get the above-mentioned knighthood. If you fail once, you will be demoted to a lower rank. If you fail again, just go idle.

It has to be said that the implementation of this measure has stimulated the enthusiasm of the clan to study to a certain extent, and also saved a lot of expenses for the country. The title of title is a systematic project, including the wives and children of the knights.

Civil servants have to take exams, and titles also have to be tested.Knowledge changes destiny!

Yarjan replied: "Hey." He was not worried about his sons at all. First of all, their studies were not top-notch but not bad; second, he was in his prime.With these two, it is enough.

Yinreng shook the notebook Yarjiang A brought: "Put this here first, and I'll read it later."

Hearing that his tone meant to let him go, Yaerjiang hesitated for a moment, and asked one more question: "I heard that the empress intends to choose a wife for Hong Yu to marry this year?"

Yinfeng smiled slightly, looked up at Yaerjiang: "Yes, what's the matter?"

Yaerjiang said: "This... Hong Yu is getting old too, he married a wife, so it's not easy to live in the palace all the time, isn't it? Besides, when he married a wife in the palace, what grade should he do? You can't be the same as the princes! You... don't know what decision the Holy Will makes?"

He was here to deal with matters such as the grading of the clan, so it was reasonable to talk about Hong Yu's matter.It's impossible for Hong Yu to live in the palace without knowing his identity, and it looks ridiculous.

Yinfeng smiled and said, "I have my own opinion on this, you just go and get ready for the exam."

This time, Yaerjiang agreed to resign, and Yinfeng said to Hongdan, "Prince Jian is a careful person."

Hong Dan also agreed with a smile: "What Khan Ama said is that King Jian came from the clan's mansion, and there are very few mistakes."

Yinfeng said: "Don't just look at him, you brothers have to hurry up these few days. I want to personally try to seal the clan, and your brothers will go with me."

Hongdan replied: "Son obeys the order." Going together is definitely not being an examiner together, or just watching from the sidelines.Based on Hongdan's understanding of his family, his grandfather and father like to show off their children before inspecting outsiders. Of course, the emperor himself will be the first to pose.

Letting go of this matter, the academician Xiao Yongzao came in again with a bunch of notebooks.This is also an old seniority, and at the same time he is also a banner man, with a white flag inlaid by the Han army.

After entering the door, he invited Ann, and Yinfeng also appreciated the seat very kindly.

What Xiao Yongzao brought was not very good news: "Shuntianfu Township Examination..."

He only said five words, which was enough for Yinreng to straighten his back a little more: "What's wrong with the Shuntianfu Township Examination?"

Xiao Yongzao gritted his teeth, and with his eyes closed, he said the bad news: "Someone cheated in the Shuntian Prefecture Examination."

Hongdan originally had curiosity in his eyes, but now his eyes are burning with anger!Those who cheated in the last exam just got punished, and now they are fouling again!Because he was in front of the emperor, he pursed his lips tightly, waiting for Yinrong to ask questions.

Yinfeng was also quite angry, since he came to power, all he had was thinking about selecting scholars for his own use, but accidents happened again and again, and his voice was cold: "Zhang Penghe has always been cautious in his work, how could he make a mistake? !"

Xiao Yongzao's cheeks twitched, and he hurriedly said: "It's not him, it's not him!" He swallowed, "It's a candidate, Shuntian Township Examination Chinese No. 1 Cha Weiren's father Zha Richang hired someone to write for Yizi, bribe the book office, Passing the essays. Zhou Qi hired someone to write on behalf of the Shuntian Township Examination Chinese Style, and colluded with the officials who transcribed the test papers and cheated."

Just candidates?Yinfeng felt a little better: "Just go and investigate. Strict punishment!"

Xiao Yongzao said bitterly: "That's all for checking, this week Qi..."

"how?"

"He is the son of the former infantry commander Tuoheqi's family on Wednesday." He waved his hands again and again, "This is not what I want to say, but...they were first sued by Shao Wenqing, but Zhou Zhiquan, the jailer, was bribed on Wednesday to get rid of Shao Wenqing in an attempt to silence him. .” Then he was admitted by the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Kuixu and Tuoheqi were originally political enemies of the Zhiwang family and the Prince's family.When Mingzhu changed its course, the relationship between the two families was only on the surface. What's more, Tuo Heqi relied on his own holding of the original stock, so he didn't pay much attention to Kui Xu and others.If Kui Xu does not hold grudges, then he is a saint.Xiao Yongzao complained silently in his heart.

Yinfeng's face turned a little red, and then he cursed: "Wednesday, Zhou Qi is a servant, he bribed and disrupted the court ceremony. Love crimes are heinous. What should be done, what should be done, why bother with Tuo Heqi? The domestic slaves of He Qi can escape the law of the country? Don’t you think that I will protect the domestic slaves of He Qi?!"

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Xiao Yongzao hurriedly pleaded guilty: "I just asked the emperor to show me, if the father and son did not enter the Tuoheqi mansion on Wednesday, how should we get them?"

"Call the infantry commander..." Yinfeng closed his mouth halfway through the words, even he didn't believe that Al Jishan, who was also from the Suo Party, would not cover Tuo Heqi. MD!It has always been a tradition of their princelings, or so-called Suo party, to hug each other and warm each other.

Yinreng called Aljishan, Xiao Yongzao wiped his sweat, seeing Aljishan coming, he hurriedly left.Yinfeng said to Al Jishan, "Sit down," and said to Xiao Yongzao, "Shangshu Heyi has done a lot of hard work, and you can enjoy your eyes and feathers."

Xiao Yongzao happily agreed, and then left.Only then did Yinfeng tell Al Jishan: "Is Beijing safe now?"

Arjishan was quietly looking at Hongdan after listening to the appreciation of He Yi's flower feathers. Hearing Yinreng's question, he hurriedly said: "Under the feet of the emperor, everything is peaceful. It's just that beautiful women from all over the world come to Beijing, and it's a bit lively."

Yinfeng let out a "huh": "Set the chessboard, let's play two chess pieces."

Arjishan had no reason to refuse. The two of them came and went, and played dozens of pieces. Aljishan's decline gradually became obvious. Yinfeng said casually: "You send someone to Tuoheqi to ask two people to come out, and call the next one. It’s up to people to do it, let’s continue playing chess.”

The chess piece in Aljishan's hand fell onto the chessboard with a bang.

After Tuo Heqi was dismissed, his family members were taken away and his face was disgraced.Yinreng attaches great importance to the imperial examination. Zhou Qi was born as a slave, and he took the exam with everyone. If he really passed the exam based on his ability, Yinreng would still have a little love for talent.The problem is that he still cheated, which made the disaster even bigger.

Even Zha Richang and his son were given heavy sentences.Zha Richang and his son are the prison guards, and the father and son on Wednesday are executed.Together with the gang of gunmen who were bribed, passed on, and copied, they were beaten and fined. Some censors did not play the role of supervision from the beginning and were also fined.

After dealing with these, the date for the title examination of the clans has arrived.

Just as Hongdan expected, Yinreng brought his brothers along with Hongyu to attend the exam ceremony.The exam is divided into three parts: essay test, riding and archery, and interview. Because the invigilator is the emperor, this interview runs through the whole exam.

In the first scene, the emperor asked everyone to write a topic.First, I silently wrote a few paragraphs of the "Four Books" that the emperor said casually, then I wrote an article, and then I translated it, and translated it between Manchu and Chinese.

Even in the clan, not everyone can often see their chieftain, the emperor, and it is inevitable for teenagers to have mood swings.Hong Tong stretched his neck, seeing that some of the relatives below were trembling, he let out a muffled laugh, glanced left and right again, and continued to act calmly.

Among the various clans, some learned well, and some learned less well. They handed in the papers sooner or later, and some became more anxious towards the end.After everyone's papers were handed in, Yinfeng read them one by one, and threw the bad ones aside first.

Then I want my own son to show off. From the very young, like Hongzao and Hongchen, let them continue to memorize part of the book, then explain and comment, in order to win everyone's admiration.Hongtong and Honggui wanted to express their opinions on the mutual translation between Manchu and Chinese. It can be predicted that Hongdan and Hongxi would answer the question of how well the articles related to current affairs were written.

Hong Yu stood up to the standard and showed great concern.It's really not easy to mix in this group of cousins, so don't think about being in the limelight.Even if his martial arts are not as good as Hong Xi who is several years older, and his studies are slightly worse than Hong Dan, are these two things not as good as a young lady like Hong Zao?Just don't stand out, you have to keep your status in mind.

The days of entering the palace are only slightly better than being confined.Hong Yu placed himself in a more suitable position, but he and his cousins ​​were at peace.He has always tried to weaken his own existence in things like this.

Unexpectedly, his second uncle actually said, "Hong Yu, tell me about this part."

"..." Hong Yu's head went blank for a moment, and he immediately adjusted his state. This part was relatively simple. He recalled what his master said, and then said it in the same way.

His answer was neither good nor bad, but it was in line with his usual performance, and was above average compared to these candidates.

Yinfeng was very pleased: "You were delayed for a few years when you were a child, it seems that you have really worked hard these days," and then announced, "It's all gone, and I will take the bow and horse test tomorrow." Then he returned with his son and nephew. His own territory is Qianqing Palace.

In Qianqing Palace, Yinreng lowered his face, and first said to Honggui: "One thing you said is wrong today! Did the master teach you like this? Mandarin should not be ignored, and one should not forget one's roots..." No no no, the training is over , and said to Hongchen and Hongzao: "When you read books, you must not only learn the recitation, but also know the meaning, and you must not lose the Mandarin." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Honggui.

Honggui: "..."

The two older sons answered well, and Yinfeng also wanted to save them some face in front of his younger brothers, so he didn't scold them, but just said: "Learning is like sailing against the current."

To Hongyu, it was praise and encouragement: "You did a good job today, and you will continue to study hard in the future. You must follow me to study tomorrow's riding and archery test. Tomorrow will not only have you, but also today's clans, all All males over the age of ten in the Wang family will go. Check your bows and horses, and show off your skills for them to see."

The nephews answered in unison.
