Chapter 874 The incident (1)

 When the results are released, some are happy and some are sad. Those who win are happy and will embark on an official career from now on; those who fail are sad and have to wait another three years.

Wang Rengao was happy. Although he got the test questions from his friend Jiang Yi, he felt uneasy as long as the list was not announced. He stayed at the inn uneasily until the list was posted and he was ranked ninth on the B list.

Return to Yangzhou.

He Zixiang, the admiral of Beihai, is very sad, not because he failed, but because he won the list. In Beihai Province, there are too many people who won the list!

In order to appease the people of the four provinces in northern Xinjiang, Zhu Hengjia gave each province thirty candidates for examination. This quota was quite large. Even in Nanzhili, where the literary style was at its peak, there were only fifty candidates for the examination in autumn. The old emperor was Qian

Those who do big things need to be courageous. According to him, if you are willing to give up, you will gain something. A few quotas are nothing. The more people who serve as officials in the four provinces of northern Xinjiang, the more stable my rule will be.

Unexpectedly, only 70 people from New Beihai Province took the exam, most of whom were illiterate in arts and sciences. The marking officer repeatedly relaxed the requirements and barely managed to get eight candidates. Shanbei Province was even worse, with 58 people taking the exam, and six of them passed the examination; Zhengxi

There were only twenty-six candidates in total in the province, and the number of candidates could not reach the quota given by the emperor. After many rounds of selection, five candidates were selected.

Beihai Province is so awesome. There are 200 applicants and 30 successful candidates, which is much more than the other three provinces combined.

It is said that as a Tixue Dao, the large number of people who passed the exam means that he has achieved outstanding political achievements, so he should be happy. Why is he worried instead? He Zixiang knows his own family affairs, and there are many people who have passed the exam in Beihai. It is not because he has done a good job in education.

But because of impersonation, of the thirty candidates who passed the examination, only ten were from Beihai Province, and the remaining twenty were all from other provinces.

Taking part in the scientific examination under false pretenses was a serious crime in the Ming Dynasty. Once it was revealed, not only would it be difficult to secure his official position, but he would also most likely have to move his head. If the number of people who passed the examination in the four provinces of northern Xinjiang were about the same and were not conspicuous, this would be possible.

If you hide it, there will be no ripples. But now, there are only a few successful candidates in the other three provinces, and only one branch in Beihai is too eye-catching, and there is a risk of being exposed.

He Zixiang was panic-stricken. He hurriedly came to the Yamen of the Beihai Punishing and Inspection Department (one saying: the Punishment and Inspection Division) and asked Wan Sitong, the Beihai Punishing and Inspection Commission, for advice. According to the Ming Dynasty, the prefect's education was based on the supervision of each province.

The assistant officer of the envoy is either the deputy envoy of the punishment, inspection, deputy envoy or the chief minister. He Zixiang is the fifth-level inspector and the chief inspector Xue Dao. Wan Sitong is his immediate superior and the mastermind behind the Beihai impersonation incident.

Originally He Zixiang did not agree to impersonate his nationality, but Wan Sitong was Sun Ge's confidant, and his imperial examination examiner was also Sun Ge. Both of them belonged to the Sun Party and were in the same spirit; Wan Sitong was his

Shangguan, through coaxing and coercion, finally got a bunch of candidates from other provinces to come to Beihai to take the exam.

"Why are you so panicked, Inspector He? Don't panic. Let's have a cup of tea first." Seeing his appearance, Wan Sitong chuckled and ordered the tea to be served calmly.

"Master Wang, something has happened. This autumn, the number of people who passed the imperial examination in Beihai province exceeded the other three provinces combined, which will inevitably arouse suspicion. Once the imperial court sends people to investigate, the matter of false citizenship will not be covered."

"Haha, what are you afraid of when Mr. Sun Ge is here? He is in charge of the Ministry of Etiquette. Even if this list is reported to the Ministry of Etiquette, no one will check it." Wan Sitong did not panic. He took a sip of tea, held it in his mouth, and carefully

Land quality.

Hearing him mention Sun Jinding's name, He Zixiang suddenly felt a lot calmer and asked slowly: "Does your mentor know about this?" Sun Jinding was his examiner during the imperial examination, so he was called his mentor. However, the dignified cabinet minister

Auxiliary, there are so many disciples and old officials, and a mere school inspector cannot be considered the core backbone of the Sun Party.

Wan Sitong rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "These thirty people are all members of my generation. Mr. Sun Ge naturally knows it." This autumn, he ordered He Zixiang to arrange for thirty scholars to impersonate themselves.

, among which twenty people were successful and ten were not successful.

It is said that Sun Jinding knew, just to reassure He Zixiang. In fact, Sun Jinding did not know about this. How could a dignified minister in the cabinet take such a big risk for a small profit? What's more, there are thirty people in it, and a bachelor's degree.

Don’t want to do it anymore? Since Sun Jinding failed in the last party struggle and was demoted as a slave, he has restrained himself a lot. He is very low-key and grows cabbage in his house when he has nothing to do. How could he leave such a big handle for his political opponents to attack?

However, this matter is really related to Sun Jinding. Wan Sitong, as the backbone of the Sun Party, was full of joy when he was first promoted to Beihai Inspector. However, after working for more than a year, he found that the place was freezing and there was not much oil and water.

He wanted to ask Sun Jinding to change his position as an official in a wealthy place. This could not be done without money, so he opened the door for impostors. Thirty people received 10,000 taels each, and 80,000 taels were given to He Zixiang, which was enough.

Two hundred and twenty thousand taels are in my pocket, which is enough for the activity.

Three years to clear the prefecture, and one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver. Not to mention that his own official position was bigger than that of the prefect. Wan Sitong believed that as long as he could be transferred to a good position, he would be able to earn back this money in a short time.

When he heard that Sun Jinding knew about this, He Zixiang took a long breath and looked much better. He suddenly thought about it again, "Master Wan, although the Ministry of Rites has mentors to take care of it, the governor of Beihai, Guan Siqiu, and the political envoy Zhang Dai are both

Mr. Guan Ge. Mr. Guan Ge has always been at odds with his mentor. I am afraid that they will stab him!"

Wan Sitong sneered and said, "You are all old Huang Li. Now that the prince and King Ji are on the same page, Mr. Guan Ge almost responds to every request in order to win over Mr. Sun Ge to fight against King Ji. How could he allow Zhang to take charge of it?

Did the two of them bring this matter to Beijing and make Mr. Sun Ge displeased?"

At this time, He Zixiang was completely relieved, his face was filled with joy, and he was no longer as panicked as before.

"You have reminded me that Zhang E, the imperial censor of Hokkaido who was sent by the imperial court to supervise the scientific expedition, is here. You must pay close attention to this," Wan Sitong suddenly looked at him and said solemnly.

"Zhang E?"

He Zixiang was stunned, then smiled and said: "Don't worry, this person is Xiaguan's piano friend. Xiaguan and he often play the piano together, so he probably won't report him."

"Haha, Inspector He must not be careless. Even father and son cannot trust official affairs, let alone Qinyou? You should bring him 10,000 taels of silver immediately, no, 20,000 taels. If he accepts it, then we can sit back and relax.

”.

"My lord, this man is very noble. What if he refuses to accept him?"

Wan Sitong laughed ferociously, "This place in Beihai is no better than the capital city. It is covered in ice and snow, desolate and remote. The death of a few people is nothing. If he is shameless, let's think of other ways."

He Zixiang felt a chill on his back and bowed to Wan Sitong to leave, "I will go test Zhang Yushi immediately and I will report to you later."

"Well, go well, Inspector He." Wan Sitong served tea to see the guest off. When he walked out of the door, Fang stared at his back and sneered: "This person is so cowardly, he will eventually cause big troubles."
