After sending away all the eunuchs and officials who had delivered the order, the entire Feng Mansion was once again in a state of excitement.
In the past six months, this kind of thing has happened many times in the Feng Mansion. The first three times were that the young master passed the Qiu Wei examination, followed by the imperial examination, the second-class Jinshi in the palace examination, and now the deceased eldest master was awarded the title of Marquis.
One happy event after another happened, making the entire Feng Mansion overwhelmed.
Little Duan went to settle things in the house, and only mother and son Duan and Feng Ziying were left in the house.
Feng Ziying was still wondering about the purpose of Emperor Yonglong's sudden appearance.
Do you want to prevent your own shop from choosing Shujishi? Probably not.
That is to show a gesture that the imperial court will not forget those who served the imperial court in the past, but this is not the main thing.
In Feng Ziying's view, this was a way to express his attitude to some courtiers who still couldn't see the situation clearly.
There are too many people who know the two policy papers I wrote on the imperial examination. Although many of them are general, the directions are indeed very clear. The existing pattern and countermeasures are increasingly unsuitable for the current embarrassing situation of the imperial court. Some explorations and discussions are needed.
New ideas and countermeasures to help the court get out of the predicament.
This move is very beautiful. It does not directly touch the past of the Supreme Emperor, but is more like a tit-for-tat confrontation with some civil servants, allowing the Supreme Emperor to sit back and watch with peace of mind. This is exactly the effect that Emperor Yonglong wants.
Emperor Yonglong used this method to consolidate his position step by step and accumulate his prestige. When it reached a certain level, quantitative changes would turn into qualitative changes.
However, the Supreme Emperor was unable to change this situation, and was even happy to see this gentle situation. He knew very well that he would not be able to stay healthy forever, so this situation was acceptable to everyone, with the exception of Prince Yohitada.
"Brother Keng, what do you think is going on in the imperial court? How come you were granted the title of uncle?" Mr. Duan didn't understand what he meant.
Instead of conferring a title on her husband, she continued to confer the title on her eldest uncle. However, his eldest uncle was already gone, and it was not clear who would occupy this title.
If it is your husband, it means that you need an imperial edict and a document from the Ministry of Rites, but what about your husband's title of Shenwu General? A false title is also a title, and at least it still has some lumi and reputation.
If your husband does not take the title, will your son directly take the title? That also requires a special order.
The problem is that his son is going to be a civil servant. It seems a pity to get the title of Marquis of Hulun. It will not help him much, and it may even be a little hindrance, right?
Of course, the land and manor are still very popular, after all, they were given by the emperor.
Feng Ziying slowly figured it out.
This is just a gesture. It is not clear whether it is the father or the husband who takes the title. It actually depends on the Feng family. It is even a reward that can be used for the next generation. Your Feng family can find a son to take the title. Of course
Just to continue the fragrance of my uncle's house.
After Feng Ziying told her mother what she meant, Duan was also a little stunned.
"Brother Keng, do you need to find a distant relative from Linqing to inherit your uncle's title and incense? Those are all relatives that you can't reach with eight poles. After all, they are all your father's.
Your grandfather's generation is gone, and I heard your father say that when your father's grandfather's generation followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the country, your great-grandfather was the only one in that room. Your grandfather had a brother, but he died without him.
Now, only your grandfather's family is left. It was divided into three branches. Then it came to your generation and became one branch again. I don't know why your Feng family is so thin."
"Then it's your and my aunt's fault. You didn't give birth to several brothers for me, otherwise how could it be like this? If I had brothers, I could have adopted them to my eldest uncle or even my second uncle. Now I'm the only one.
Dad will definitely not allow me to inherit my uncle’s legacy, right?"
As soon as Feng Ziying's words came out, both mother and son were stunned.
Not to mention, it might actually be possible if you follow the family rules.
After all, the eldest son has always been the most important thing for every family, and filial piety is reflected in this.
And now there is a title of Marquis of Hulun in the eldest house, so it is impossible not to seize the title, right? That is really what you, the Feng family, gave up, and you also failed to live up to the grace of the saint.
There was silence in the room, both Duan and Feng Ziying were relatively speechless. Feng Ziying was not sure how to deal with the current situation, and Duan thought that if her son wanted to inherit the legacy of his uncle, what would happen to her husband and herself?
how?
There was a creak of the door, and little Duan came in. Seeing her sister and brother Keng staring at each other, she felt a little strange, "Sister, brother Keng, what's the matter? It's such a happy event, why is it like this?"
Mrs. Duan then explained the situation, and Mrs. Duan reacted very quickly, "Then we must take over the uncle's side as well. What should we do? Of course it's a dual-family relationship. Let Brother Keng do both. Marry one more
If the marriage is not over, the son born from that family can inherit the title of the uncle and continue the family's incense. It's the same here, but this kind of dual-family marriage requires government approval, while the dual-family family that inherits the title needs to be approved by the government.
, I guess it will be more troublesome, it needs the emperor’s approval, right?”
I have heard of this kind of thing, and it is not uncommon for people to practice both traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, but it was more common when the Zhou Dynasty was just founded. After all, it was during the war years, but it is rare now.
The key is that this kind of issue involving the attack on the prince is even more problematic. You have to ask the Ministry of Rites how to operate it.
Feng Ziying's heart was beating wildly. It would be really surprising to be able to marry an additional married woman, and this kind of surprise would even make people feel dazzled and elated.
"It's best to write to my father about things like mother. After all, we have never been involved in this kind of thing. It's better to ask my father. In addition, my son will ask someone to ask the Ministry of Rites. Check out the Ministry of Rites."
Have you ever encountered this situation before? This is really a new thing."
Feng Ziying's words made both the big and small Duans nod their heads. This is no small matter. It involves the succession of the two families and the continuation of the incense. Don't take over the big house but not allow it here, it will really become a joke.
*******
The library selection exam is in the East Pavilion.
In fact, not many people participated in the selection.
Logically speaking, all second- and third-class scholars can participate in the selection, but in fact, the possibility of selection for the third-class scholars is basically zero, and even the possibility of being selected after fifty second-class scholars is very small, unless there is a certain pavilion elder who particularly appreciates a certain person.
People, maybe there are still some opportunities.
Therefore, the number of candidates for Jinshi in this subject is only about 70, and among them only a few are among the top three candidates. I guess more people should come and feel the atmosphere.
The Great Zhou Palace Selection Examination was simpler than the Palace Examination. It lasted only one and a half hours and consisted of an 800-word policy essay. The questions were drafted by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel, and then temporarily determined by the cabinet.
This time the test question seemed to be calm and calm, about the ethics of officials.
This article is too broad, different people have different opinions, and it does not have a specific direction, so everyone can use it as they please. In fact, it leaves the examiners with more room for operation, and it is also more difficult to jump out of the box and use it freely.
However, Feng Ziying still did not follow the steps. He should establish a relatively detailed regular verification mechanism for officials' moral governance, and pay special attention to the effectiveness and efficiency of moral education.
Of course, it was eight hundred words, and it was such a topic. Feng Ziying knew that she was already in the limelight, and if she continued to mess with it, she would really be criticized by the public, so she just tried it lightly and left some room.
The selection of Shujishi is of great significance to the inside of the hall, but to the outside world, it is far less lively and noisy than the imperial examination and the imperial examination.
Shen Yiguan and Fang Congzhe had no clues on their faces. When Ye Xianggao expressed his approval of Feng Keng's test, they only twitched their eyelids slightly and said nothing more.
Ye Xianggao's reasons are also very pertinent. He can put forward the idea of detailed assessment of officials' moral and political education. Even if its operability still needs to be discussed, it does provide a direction for discussion. Although it is slightly inferior in terms of arts and sciences, it is nevertheless
Ranked ninth in the top two, it makes sense to be selected.
The attitudes of the six officials of Jiuqing Hall were also different, but even Xiao Daheng, Li Tingji and Guo Zhengyu expressed their approval. It was a matter of course for Feng Ziying to be selected. Even Shen Yiguan agreed in the end.
recognized.
It can be said that Feng Ziying's selection went beyond everyone's imagination, including Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia, as well as Ye Xianggao, who always thought he was the mainstay.
So after getting this result, Feng Ziying was not overjoyed, but thought about it for a long time alone in her study room at home.
He needs to figure out why this situation is happening.
He was not sure whether this situation was caused by multiple factors, but he felt that in addition to Emperor Yonglong's attitude, there might have been some subtle changes in the attitudes of the important officials in the court.
In other words, they are increasingly aware that the current predicament may require some new external factors to try to find a breakthrough in order to break the predicament, so some things that they originally thought were deviant seem not so unacceptable.
If this is the case, Feng Ziying feels that she has gained a lot from her hard work with her classmates from Qingtan Academy in the past two years. The continuous petitions have at least made the important officials in the court less resistant to this kind of new things.
Let the bullets fly for a while and observe the situation.
This is a good phenomenon, which means that some of your new views and ideas can be "sold" with tacit approval while studying and observing politics in the Hanlin Academy. They may not agree with it, but at least they will not prohibit it, so
This is the seed's opportunity to germinate and grow.
