Chapter 133 Yu Yanran’s assist
Zhao Xing didn’t pay much attention to the release of the results for the general examination. He just asked Yin Hanzhang to investigate all the students who passed the examination.
After he becomes the governor of Kaifeng, he will definitely make some moves. Instead of using some veteran officials, it is better to use some novices.
No matter what kind of person these people are, they have just entered the officialdom and have been enabled by the prince, so they must be working hard to express themselves.
I will spare no effort to handle the matters arranged by Zhao Xing.
Zhao Xing asked people to investigate, also wanting to get to the bottom of it and get a general understanding.
After passing the examination, some people were happy for a while and then concentrated on studying to prepare for the next palace examination.
As the saying goes, sharpening a gun in the face of battle will bring displeasure.
There are also many people who think that if they can pass the examination, they will already have smoke coming out of their ancestral graves, and they do not expect the palace examination to be a blockbuster.
Every day, I feel so carefree.
For this kind of person, Zhao Xing directly labeled him as unusable.
Being self-aware and having fun are two different things.
I started to enjoy it as soon as I passed the Jinshi exam. What use can such a person have?
As the imperial examination approaches day by day, news has spread that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will serve as the governor of Kaifeng after the imperial examination.
It is normal for the prince to serve as the governor of Kaifeng, but this news sends a signal that the prince will start to get involved in government affairs.
Although Zhao Xing had already officially dealt with Zha Zi before this.
However, his comments will ultimately have to be made by the officials, who have no decision-making power.
Being the Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture is different, which means that he has the right to directly decide on all matters big and small in Kaifeng Prefecture.
A serious calculation shows that although the officials of various departments in Bianjing are not under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture, they themselves are within the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture.
If a noble official commits something that is not related to his official position, it will be under the control of the Kaifeng Mansion.
For example, if two young masters get into a fight, the Kaifeng Mansion has the right to arrest them directly.
The news spread that Zhao Xing was about to serve as the prefect of Kaifeng. Lord Bianjing's officials and officials all told the playboys in the family to be more honest these days.
Youdao is the most important thing for new officials when they take office. They still understand this truth.
The best and fastest way to establish authority is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
No one wants to think that a child in the family will be regarded as a leader.
In addition to Lord Bianjing's official family, officials from the counties under the Kaifeng Prefecture were also shocked when they heard the news.
Zhao Xing has always had a reputation for generosity over the years, but these are just rumors.
With their status, they are not qualified to contact Zhao Xing, so how can they know Zhao Xing’s true temper.
So this period of time is called intentional, except for some things, it is even more selfless.
For a time, officials in various counties in Kaifeng Prefecture implemented the Qingming Festival, and the dandies in Bianjing City disappeared.
After Zhao Xing learned the news, he smiled and didn't care.
This news cannot be hidden at all, even if it spreads when he takes over.
Suddenly a leader is parachuted in, and he is still the prince. The people below will be honest until they figure out their character and temper.
This is human nature, universal at all times.
…………
Time flies, and in early May, the weather is already a little warm.
Zhao Xing put on the thin shirt she made under Yu Yanran's service, opened his hands and let her help him take care of his clothes.
“The clothes are well made.” Zhao Xing smiled.
"As long as His Highness likes it." Yu Yanran smiled, turned around and took a pair of shoes from the maid behind her, squatted down and put them on for Zhao Xing.
“Eh…”
Zhao Xing put on the shoes cooperatively, stamped his feet, and praised: "These shoes are very comfortable to wear. Yanran is really ingenious."
New shoes will be a little uncomfortable when he first puts them on, but Yu Yanran puts them on for him The shoes are obviously new, but they feel no discomfort like those that have been worn for a while.
On the contrary, it feels more comfortable than those shoes that have been worn for some days. "These shoes are not made by my concubine, but by Sixth Sister specially for His Highness." Yu Yanran smiled and said: "Sixth Sister is very good at making shoes. She will make shoes according to a person's walking habits, and the finished shoes Wear something comfortable."
Minglan was somewhat reluctant to marry into the East Palace, but she didn't show it.
With her temperament and unwillingness, she would naturally not make shoes for Zhao Xing.
Yu Yanran asked Minglan to make these shoes, saying they were made for her and Zhao Xing.
Although there is no saying in ancient times that to keep a person's heart you must keep his stomach, this concept still exists.
In fact, retaining a person's heart is not limited to cooking skills. To put it simply, it means that people can't live without it.
Yu Yanran feels that Minglan has this talent in making shoes.
Minglan was brought into the palace as a dowry, so her status was rather embarrassing, and she might not be favored by Zhao Xing in the future.
If Zhao Xing is used to the shoes she makes, he will naturally be unable to do without her.
As a good best friend, Yu Yanran still wanted to help Minglan.
So I asked Minglan to help Zhao Xing make a pair of shoes and promised not to tell Zhao Xing.
Zhao Xing didn’t expect Minglan to have talent in this area, and he didn’t know Yu Yanran’s little thoughts, so he smiled and said, “Then I will leave all my shoes to her in the future.”
After changing his clothes, Zhao Xingbian left the East Palace and headed to the palace.
Arrived at Longtuge, Zhao Xing bowed and said: "My son, I pay homage to my father!"
"Fu'er is here." The official smiled and said: "This is the final of the palace examination. "Please see if there is anything that needs to be changed in the rankings."
"Yes!"
Zhao Xing stepped forward and took a look. The name of the top pick was Pan Lun, and the name of the second pick was Pan Lun. Yao Xingtian, whose name is Zhang Zongxue.
Sheng Changbai ranked fifth in the first class, and Qi Heng ranked twenty in the second class. It seems that both of them improved their rankings in the palace examination.
Zhao Xing, the No. 2 pick, had some impressions. One of them came first and the other came third. He had read the articles and they were very good.
He had no impression of Tanhua.
"This is decided by the emperor father and all the ministers based on the results of the palace examination. I have no objection." Zhao Xing said.
According to the emperor's wishes, this is only a preliminary decision. If he wants to change it, he can change it.
In other words, if he wants to select Sheng Changbai or Qi Heng as the top pick, he can do it.
However, Zhao Xing felt that it was not necessary at all. In the imperial examinations of the past dynasties, the number one scholar did not do as well as the first and second grade scholars in the same period.
The so-called ranking, for ordinary people, does affect their future prospects.
But for those with background, getting admitted to Jinshi is just a starting point, and the next thing is the relationship background.
Unless you are really talented and attract the attention of officials or your husband, you can rise to the top.
But it would be good if one such person appears in the imperial examination several times.
Take today's official family as an example. They have been in office for more than thirty years and the imperial examination is held every three years, not counting those of Enke.
In other words, the imperial examinations have been held more than a dozen times during the official reign.
Every time the imperial examination admits two to three hundred people, there are thousands of people.
But now, more than half of the six ministers and several ministers in the court are Jinshi who passed the examination during the late emperor's time.
There are also some who passed the exam when the official family was not in charge.
It can be said that those who actually pass the exam after being in charge of government affairs are very rare.
So the significance of the No. 1 pick is not as great as imagined. Sheng Changbai and Qi Heng are his people. With their rankings, no one will use this to make an issue if he reuses them in the future.
"In that case, we will announce it tomorrow. After the horse parade the day after tomorrow, there will be a Qionglin Banquet. You can host it then." The official said.
After the roll call at Donghua Gate, the Ministry of Rites will organize the new scholars to parade through the streets on horseback. The next day, the officials will give a banquet to the new scholars.
However, usually officials would show their faces, say a few words of encouragement, and then leave.
