After Fan Shilang's uncle and nephew left the academy, Shen Yi followed Master Lu's instructions and hid in the academy for a few days.
After all, he didn't want to have a head-on conflict with a Liubu Minister now, and if he saw Minister Fan at this moment, he would definitely kneel down and kowtow to him.
Shen Yi didn't want to kowtow to the Fan family.
After Shen Yi stayed in the academy for five or six days, Fan Shilang, who had returned to his hometown to visit relatives for a few days, finally left for the capital.
In this era, due to the inconvenient transportation, the time for most officials to visit relatives in their hometowns was calculated on a monthly basis. Some would spend several months or even half a year in their hometowns before returning to Beijing to work.
But Fan Shilang did not stay in Jiangdu for long.
Or maybe he can't stay in Jiangdu for long.
Firstly, it’s because Jiangdu is too close to the capital and you can come back at any time. But the more important reason is... the imperial court is at a critical moment right now!
After Yang Xiangguo publicly submitted a letter to "resign himself to his old age" last time, the young emperor had slowly begun to take over the government affairs.
One emperor and one courtier.
The reason for this saying is that whether it is the imperial court, a yamen, or even a local academies or shops, if a new boss wants to make his words meaningful and effective after taking office, the first thing he needs to do is appoint his cronies.
At this time, nepotism must be used.
Only through nepotism can one take over the "company" in the shortest possible time and transform from the nominal leader to the actual leader.
The emperor is no exception.
Since the little emperor wants to take over the government, the first thing he has to do is to replace a group of ministers and promote a group of ministers.
In this way, the imperial court will become a new dynasty.
At this juncture, a relatively young minister like Fan Shilang has the best chance of being attracted by the little emperor. In fact, it has been a few months since the last time the little emperor sprayed Yang Xiangguo at the court meeting. Here, there are already many officials in the court who have "turned from tortoises to eagles".
Among them was Fan Shilang.
Fan Shilang did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor could pull him into the position of Six Ministers or Prime Minister in one fell swoop. Considering that he had just served as a minister for three years, it was unrealistic.
As long as His Majesty the Emperor can promote him from the Ministry of Punishment to the upper three ministries, that is, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Household Affairs, and still serve as a minister, he will be satisfied.
As for the Ministry of War...
Fan Shilang never thought about it.
Da Chen's Ministry of War is a very sensitive yamen. When doing things in the Ministry of War, you have to walk on thin ice. If you accidentally offend the emperor, you will lose your head.
At this time full of opportunities, Fan Shilang naturally could not go on vacation in Jiangdu. Although he had not returned to his hometown in Jiangdu for several years, he only stayed for five days before going to work in the capital.
Fan Shilang left, and Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew in his heart that as long as he avoided Minister Fan, Fan Tong, as the dignified Minister of the Sixth Ministry, would not bother to do anything to him secretly.
However, it is worth mentioning that on the day Fan Shilang left, Shen Yi received a letter.
A letter from Fan Dongcheng.
The content of the letter was not complicated. The general idea was to make fun of Shen Yi for studying hard and not even being a scholar yet, but he was already going to Jiankang Imperial College to be a student supervisor.
The subtext is that no matter how hard Shen Yi flutters, he will always be stepped on by him.
Some of the Imperial College students in Dachen were descendants of princes, nobles and scholar-bureaucrats, and were called Yin Prison students, and some were tribute prison students, which meant that outstanding "topic writers" would be sent to the Imperial College for special training.
In addition, there are various types of prisons, such as case prisons, etc., and they are full of entangled interests. It is difficult to explain them clearly in three sentences.
The Imperial College students can go through the normal scientific examination process, and there are also some special channels to become officials. Anyway, if you enter the Imperial College, theoretically, your future will be much brighter than that of a "child student" like Shen Yi.
Shen only glanced at this childish and provocative letter and threw it into the brazier.
Looking at him more than once is an insult to his intelligence.
Since the uncle and nephew of the Fan family have taken two steps away, Shen Yi does not need to pay attention to the matters of the Fan family for the time being, but should focus on the upcoming imperial examination.
Because the county examination and the government examination are held twice every three years, the time is not fixed. The examination time is announced one month in advance by the academic officials. However, before deciding on the date, the county government still needs to communicate with the government government. After all, the county examination cannot It will be scheduled after the government examination.
Generally speaking, the prefect first sets the time for the prefectural examination and then distributes it to the following counties. After the county government gets the time for the prefectural examination, it then sets the time for the county examination.
In previous years, county examinations and government examinations were usually held from spring to the turn of spring and summer. However, Chen Fuzun loved autumn so much that he scheduled the government examinations in late autumn in October. Therefore, Jiangdu's county examinations had to be held in September.
This year's Jiangdu Prefectural Examination is scheduled for October 29th. It is said that Chen Fuzun asked someone to calculate the auspicious day of the zodiac, making it auspicious for the exam.
For this government examination, Chen Fuzun still attached great importance to it.
Because this is his first government examination since he took office in Jiangdu.
He arrived in Jiangdu last year. Although he had been in office for more than a year, when he arrived in Jiangdu last year, the government examinations in Jiangdu had been completed, and Chen Fuzun was not in time to preside over last year's government examinations.
This year, because of the food price incident, Chen Fuzun has been fined a salary by the court. This time, he naturally has to do a good job in the government examination and earn some political achievements for himself.
The so-called "beautiful management" naturally refers to the number of students admitted to the Jiangdu Prefectural Examination and passed the examination as scholars.
The large number of scholars shows that the local parents and officials have "the power of education".
The time is approaching day by day. In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed for the county examination, and there are only twenty days left for the government examination.
But Shen Yi, who had been studying in the academy for more than ten days, felt a little excited at this time.
Because...the case will be released in the county examination tomorrow!
Although he has been born in two generations, and although he is quite confident about the county examination, at this moment when the results of the examination are about to be announced, Shen Yi still feels a little uncontrollable excitement.
For a whole day, he couldn't read a book.
In the afternoon, Shen Yi put down the "Collected Annotations" given to him by Master Lu. After saying a few words to his younger brother Shen Heng, he wandered around the academy with his hands behind his back.
After just two rounds of shopping, I saw students from Ganquan Academy gathered together in twos and threes, chattering about something.
Shen Yi was a little curious and happened to see a "classmate", so he stepped forward and asked: "Brother Cheng, what happened?"
This senior named Cheng is already in his early twenties. He took the scientific examination twice and passed both the county and government examinations. However, he was stuck in the college examination both times. He has not yet passed the college exam and received the title of scholar.
Senior brother Cheng looked at Shen Yi and was a little curious: "Junior brother Shen doesn't know?"
Shen Yi shook his head.
"In the past few days, Mr. Qin has assigned three policy essays and given several collections of essays. Some of them still have to be memorized. I am so dizzy from memorizing them. I really don't know what happened in the academy."
"Junior brother is really hardworking."
Senior Brother Cheng smiled and said: "For the students in our academy who took the county exam this year, I think they were all playing around after the county exam. I'm afraid it will have to wait until the incident occurs before those who passed the county exam will study hard and read. Junior Brother Lai Shen is already fully confident of passing the county examination."
"How can I be sure?"
Shen Yi smiled modestly: "It's not a bad thing to read more books anyway. By the way, senior brother, what happened?"
"It's not a big deal."
Senior Brother Cheng said: "This morning, Yan Mingli from our school bumped into Mr.
At this point, he sighed.
"Although Yan Mingli doesn't pay much attention, he belongs to our school after all. Mr. Qin is begging for mercy from the mountain leader."
