Just as Feng Ziying thought, the selection of shujishi by the government was not popular among the people, and not many people even knew about it, but it was of great significance to people in the officialdom.
How can ordinary people understand the difference between Shujishi and ordinary Jinshi? They both want to observe the government, they are all appointed after two or three years, and they both want to be a great master. In their eyes, they are all the same. Only Jinshi knows that this is a person.
The key threshold is the threshold that determines the upper limit of your future career.
In addition to the top three students in each subject, only Shuji scholars are eligible to enter the Imperial Academy. Only after entering the Imperial Academy are they eligible to enter the cabinet and worship the prime minister. Of course, these are just qualifications.
There are ten or twenty sage scholars in each department, and at least ten people will be able to enter the Imperial Academy after the school is dismissed. This means that in ten or twenty years, at least one or two hundred people will be qualified to enter the cabinet and worship the prime minister.
But just because you are qualified does not mean that you are good enough. Even if you are a Shuji scholar, you may not even be able to become a senior official in the Six Ministries and Jiuqing Hall in your lifetime.
But just your status as a sage can still make people in the officialdom think highly of you.
Even if you can't become a cabinet minister, you might be able to become a good scholar in your profession?
This friendship of studying together in the Hanlin Academy and observing politics can also give you a bit of an advantage in your official career.
As soon as Wang Ziteng returned home from his inspection of Shanxi Town, he received a notice that his brother-in-law Jia Zheng had arrived.
Although he was a little tired, Wang Ziteng did not make Jia Zheng wait any longer. He asked him to wait in the study room and went there after changing his clothes.
"Oh? Did Feng Ziying choose a shujishi?" Even though Wang Ziteng was somewhat mentally prepared, he was still quite shocked, "This is the first 15-year-old shujishi in the Zhou Dynasty. This Feng family man is constantly
Making history, the fifteen-year-old second-level Jinshi has now become the fifteen-year-old Shujishi."
"Yes, second brother, I have invited him to visit me in the past few days just to find out what he has to say..." Jia Zheng stroked a few strands of his beard under his chin and said with great annoyance: "Let me
Lian'er and Lian's daughter-in-law went to inquire about it, but they all said that the Feng family's elder brother had no other thoughts at the moment and was focused on the selection of the museum. Now that the selection of the museum was successful, I planned to invite him again, but I heard that the second brother was back, so I came to see him first.
Second brother."
Wang Ziteng nodded, "Cunzhou, I'm afraid that the third girl will die. What do you think about it?"
The only glimmer of hope in Jia Zheng's heart was cut off, but in fact he had already expected that this matter would be impossible, so he was not disappointed, "Madam means Baochai, my original intention is Daiyu,..."
Wang Ziteng realized that the couple was afraid that they had differences, so they came to see him.
After pondering for a moment, he still hoped in his heart that his sister's daughter would marry Feng Ziying, so that the relationship between the two families would become closer.
"I heard that this girl Lin Ruhai has bad health and lost her mother. I'm afraid the Feng family won't agree to it, right?" Wang Ziteng had obviously been introduced to her by his sister a long time ago.
"Well, Daiyu is a little thinner, but she is still young. It might be better to wait for another two years. As for the loss of her mother, I don't think it is a big problem. After all, Ruhai was also born in a noble family, and she has Tanhua by her side.
, the Feng family must be willing,..." Jia Zheng's words are fair, "As for Baochai, the loss of his father is second. The key is that the Feng family may not be willing to accept the Huangshang family background, and there is also Wenlong.
matter,……"
Wang Ziteng couldn't help but frown.
Jia Zheng's words are unpleasant to listen to, but they are true. Xue Pan's incident in Jinling is always a hidden danger and must be dealt with properly. Otherwise, Baochai may have trouble marrying into any family.
There is also the issue of the identity of the imperial merchant. It depends on whether the Feng family cares about it or not. The Wuxun family may not care too much about the identity of the imperial merchant, but if it comes to the background of the Jinshi, it may be a bit of a problem.
"Cunzhou, I heard that Lin Ruhai is also being targeted by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Although there is no action yet, we must be on guard." Wang Ziteng mentioned leisurely.
Jia Zheng was surprised. Lin Ruhai was his sister-in-law. Although his sister was deceased, Lin Ruhai had never married, and there was still a girl named Daiyu, so he was also very concerned about Lin Ruhai's situation.
"Second brother, is this true? Why is it so?"
"I'm not sure yet, I just heard some rumors." Wang Ziteng's face was gloomy.
As far as he knows, it's probably more than that.
The Jiangnan Zhen family should have been targeted by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is why Lin Ruhai was involved. However, the Jiangnan Zhen family is very involved, and may also involve Prince Yi Zhong. It is still unclear what the Metropolitan Procuratorate wants.
In Wang Ziteng's view, the emperor should not make any big moves at this time, but sometimes this may not be the case.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate is really a mad dog that is not easy to tame. There are more than a hundred supervisory censors, and even the Zuo Du censor cannot completely control them. Except for the Zuo Du censor, the right Du censor, the left and the right censors.
The deputy capital censor, the left and right censors, almost all of them have a group of hardcore thugs, plus the six subjects who may join the battle at any time, this is the censor of the Zhou Dynasty.
They are the most powerful group of literati.
Once aroused, it would be difficult for even the emperor to control it.
You can stay in the middle without making a move, but these guys will keep biting and biting you, forcing you to give an explanation, unless you really don't want to lose face.
"Ruhai has always been quite upright, how could he be targeted by the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" Jia Zheng didn't believe it.
"Cunzhou, how can one not get wet when walking by the river? Besides, you should also know what Lin Ruhai's position means. Who are the people who have dealt with him over the years? Don't you know?" Wang Ziteng
He did not make any random accusations, but said calmly: "There is just such a sign now, but it is hard to say whether it will involve anything or to what extent it will evolve. I am just saying that there is such a risk."
This frightened Jia Zheng greatly. What would be the consequences if Lin Ruhai was involved in such a thing? On the contrary, Daiyu's marriage would have to be put aside.
Seeing that Jia Zheng was frightened, Wang Ziteng said: "I guess even if Lin Ruhai is involved, it is a matter that happened during the reign of the Supreme Emperor. Even if the Procuratorate refuses to let it go, I think the Emperor will definitely defend it.
So you don’t have to worry too much about Cunzhou.”
Seeing that Wang Ziteng spoke with certainty, Jia Zheng felt a little relieved.
"I hope this kind of thing will not involve Ru Hai, otherwise my sister may not be able to live peacefully under Jiuquan." Jia Zheng said sadly.
"Cunzhou doesn't have to think too much. There are different opinions within the imperial court on this matter. It might drag on for a year and a half. The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor have a plan, and it's just a bunch of people from the Duchayuan who are tossing it. Finally,
It could also be that he raised the board high and put it down gently." Wang Ziteng waved his hand, "But regarding the matter of the Feng family, I think it might as well be like this. You first find a chance to find out what the Feng family says.
I don’t want to name anyone specifically, but I just ask him about his marriage. If he is not engaged yet, he will say that he is willing to fight for him. If he asks him what he thinks, I will write to Feng Tang here."
Jia Zheng perked up and said, "Second brother and Feng Tang..."
Wang Ziteng pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "The imperial court stipulates that the position of governor should not be held for a long time, especially since I am from a martial arts background. I am afraid that the requirements in this regard are even greater. I estimate that the imperial court may intend to let me step down at the end of the year."
The Grand Governor will serve as the Governor of the three sides."
The governors of the three sides are the governors in charge of the four towns of Gansu, Ningxia, Guyuan and Yulin. They can be regarded as Feng Tang's direct superiors. If this is the case, if Wang Ziteng attacks his niece, Feng Tang will really have to weigh it.
Jia Zheng immediately understood Wang Ziteng's plan. He did not take Lin Daiyu into account at all, but directly considered Xue Baochai. He was not hesitant, but he could not refute, so he just remained silent.
Why did Wang Ziteng and others not understand what Jia Zheng was thinking, and said calmly: "Cunzhou, don't think that I am thinking about my sister. You also know the current situation of the Xue family. If you don't give me some support, I'm afraid this will happen."
The Xue family is about to decline. Even so, I am not sure of convincing Feng Tang. If Feng Tang refuses, then I will fight for Lin Ruhai, what do you think?"
Jia Zheng is a very good person. Wang Ziteng said this. He also admitted that the current situation of the Xue family is very difficult. I am afraid that there is only some money left in this house, and this kind of business is still shrinking. If a strong man
If a strong husband's family comes to support him, the little money he has will turn into water. It will be really difficult for the Xue family to have an eldest son like Xue Pan.
However, Jia Zheng didn't think that Wang Ziteng could understand Feng Tang. With Feng Ziying's status, he might not be willing to listen to his father's opinion, and Feng Tang also had to consider his son's future.
After much deliberation, Jia Zheng had no choice but to agree first.
However, he was also thinking that if his sister-in-law could make an agreement with the Feng family first, that would be fine, but he couldn't come forward anymore, otherwise if Wang Ziteng knew about it, he was afraid that the Jia and Wang families would start fighting.
Disgusted.
Maybe you can write a letter to your brother-in-law?
This tangled mood lasted until I returned to my house and met Tan Chun at the Yimen. He came to give Jia Zheng a gift. Seeing Tan Chun's graceful appearance, Jia Zheng felt agitated for no reason. Why did he
They are all thinking about other girls, but their own daughter has never been considered?
But she felt a little more guilty in her heart. She stopped Tanchun and asked him for a while before leaving. Tanchun was also confused and didn't know what happened to his father.
When Jia Zheng returned to the room, he sent someone to invite his wife. When Mrs. Wang arrived, he told her about her meeting with Wang Ziteng. Of course, Mrs. Wang had no objection. Now she only had to meet Feng Ziying.
But before he left the house, he received news from Jia Lian.
The palace decreed that the Feng family be granted the title of Marquis, but it was granted to Feng Qin, who had been dead for eighteen years, as Marquis of Hulun, which was one level higher than the original Uncle Yunchuan of the Feng family.
