The Imperial College was a national university. As long as one graduated, he would be qualified for the provincial examination. After passing the examination of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel, he would be able to become an official. If he wanted to continue his studies after graduating from the Imperial College, he could enter the Imperial College. After graduating, the Imperial College students could also enter the Imperial College.
The Imperial College and the Imperial College had a higher rank than the Imperial College. One could directly become an official through recommendation. Even if one couldn't become an official, during the process of studying, one would have a teacher, the same year, and the status of a gentry. This was equivalent to entering the bureaucratic class and becoming a member of the huge ruling class.
Business, work, land, all these were superficial benefits. They were all accessories of the official society. The aristocratic families almost monopolized the right to education, so they had the power.
Although the imperial examination system had been established since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the children of poor families also had the hope of becoming an official, their chances were not great. This was because the results of the imperial examination in the Sui and Tang Dynasties were not only based on the results on the paper, but also on the "Passing the Roll" and "Passing the Roll".
The "Passing the Roll" was a list made by interviewing the talents and reputation of the scholars in society for the chief examiner's reference. Among them, the recommendations of celebrities, literary giants, and high officials and nobles were very important. Sometimes, the chief examiner had already decided on the "Passing the Roll" and the "Passing the Roll".
The "Passing the Roll" was the recommendation of the scholars. Before the examination, they would present their works to the famous officials and social sages for their appreciation, reputation, and recommendation to the chief examiner. In the end, it was still the "Passing the Roll". Who were the celebrities, literary giants, and high officials and nobles who decided the "Passing the Roll"?
These people were either from aristocratic families or were inextricably linked to aristocratic families. The results could be imagined. This was the reason why the aristocratic families could prosper. The Imperial College, as the highest institution for cultivating scholars and officials, had long been monopolized by them.
This was also the power that the aristocratic families valued the most and were most unwilling to give up. As long as they had this power, even if they were poor, they could still stand on the top of the pyramid in a few years. Now, in order to promote cooperation, Zheng Yu did not hesitate to give up part of the benefits in this aspect.
The seven places were obviously given up by the seven aristocratic families. This should be the result of the discussion among the seven aristocratic families. Otherwise, Zheng Yu would not dare to make this decision. Faced with such generous conditions, Shen Mu and Yang Fan were obviously moved. Shen Mu took the initiative to extend his hand and said, "I agree!"
Yang Fan also stretched out his hand and put it on his hand. "I agree!"
Zheng Yu gladly put his hand on hers. "We're in the same boat, and we'll overcome the difficulties together!"
…
Yang Fan personally escorted Shen Mu and Zheng Yu to the edge of the island and watched them mount their horses. Yang Fan was about to ask Gu Da to push him back to the island when suddenly he saw a fast horse galloping past Shen Mu and Zheng Yu in the distance. Yang Fan narrowed his eyes and recognized that the person was his family member, Mo Xuanfei. His heart suddenly tightened.
Mo Xuan galloped his horse and rushed to the island. As soon as he saw Yang Fan sitting in a wheelchair and looking at him, he hastily got off the horse, bowed deeply and said loudly, "Congratulations Ah Lang! Congratulations Ah Lang! "
Yang Fan's tightened heart suddenly relaxed and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
Yang Fan's body suddenly shook and he said in surprise, "Ah! But Ah Nu has given birth? "
Mo Xuanfei said with a smile, "Yes! Second Mother gave birth successfully and both mother and child are safe! She specially sent me to Chang 'an to report the good news to Ah Lang. "
"Hahaha, good! Good good good! Huh? It's a boy? "
Mo Xuanfei said with a smile, "Yes! Second Mother gave birth to a big fat boy. He's very strong and his eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as Ah Lang. "
Yang Fan pointed at him with a smile and said, "You're flattering me again! A newborn child's eyebrows and eyes haven't even grown. How can you tell who he looks like? Hahaha … "
Mo Xuanfei said with a cheeky smile, "Ah Lang is wise and powerful, and I'm just like my father. Naturally, I'm not a child from an ordinary family."
As Mo Xuanfei spoke, he walked to Yang Fan's side and looked him up and down. Then, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank God, Ah Lang's complexion is very good. This lowly one will go back and tell First Mother and Second Mother about this.
Yang Fan asked, "How is everything at home?"
Mo Xuanfei said, "Everything is fine. At the beginning of spring, First Mother even followed Ah Lang's instructions and hired a very knowledgeable teacher for Eldest Miss and Eldest Langjun. Now, the teacher teaches them every day. Eldest Miss and Eldest Langjun are very smart and have been praised by the teacher. "
Yang Fan asked suspiciously, "Sirong is fine, but will Nianzu be so obedient? That boy ran away as soon as he heard that he was asked to study and write. "
The corner of Mo Xuanfei's mouth twitched and said, "Eldest Langjun was indeed not very willing to learn at first. First Mother promised that as long as he was willing to study and learn, she would take him to ride a horse. Eldest Langjun was willing to work hard. First Mother also found two children of the same age to study with him. With companions, Eldest Langjun was even more willing to study. "
Yang Fan laughed and said, "I knew it. This boy is born in the year of the donkey. If we don't coax him with something sweet, how can he be so obedient?"
Mo Xuanfei said with a smile, "First Mother asked me to tell Ah Lang the good news. She also asked Ah Lang to give Second Langjun a name."
Yang Fan thought for a while and said, "A name … I'll have to think about it." Just as he said this, a horse galloped from afar. Yang Fan put his hand on his head and looked at it against the sunlight. It was Gu Zhuting. Gu Zhuting got off the horse. Mo Xuanfei saw her and quickly greeted, "Xiao Xuanzi greets Miss Gu."
"Xiao Xuanzi, why are you here?"
Gu Zhuting was also surprised to see him. However, she had a heavy responsibility, so she did not dare to say anything. She first nodded to Mo Xuanfei, then quickly walked to Yang Fan and took out a paper ball from her sleeve. Yang Fan opened the paper ball and looked at it. He immediately put it in his palm and said to Gu Dadao, "Take my name card and invite Hu Qianxian and Chen Xuanlang here immediately!"
After giving the order, Yang Fan turned his head and said to Mo Xuanfei in high spirits, "We have a name for our Second Langjun. He will be called Yang Ji! Good luck for the opening of the market, hahaha … "
…
Opposite the censorate, under an old locust tree at the entrance of the alley, a middle-aged man dressed in a green robe paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. Looking at his frowning face, he seemed to have a lot on his mind. A manservant stood next to him with his hands down. His eyes kept looking at his master's figure.
"Sigh!"
The man in the green robe did not know how many times he paced under the tree and sighed many times. Finally, he stomped his feet heavily and strode toward the gate of the censorate. The manservant hurried to catch up with him.
Hu Yuanli received the name card from the Gu brothers and immediately changed into a set of casual clothes. He was ready to go to Longqing Lane to visit Yang Fan. As soon as he walked out of the signing room, a government official rushed to him and said, "Qianxian, there is a man at the door who claims to be the Wannian County Magistrate. He has something important to discuss with Qianxian."
"Oh?"
Hu Yuanli stopped and asked, "Is he wearing official clothes or casual clothes?"
The official said, "He is wearing casual clothes. He seems to be sneaking around, as if he is afraid of being seen."
Hu Yuanli's heart skipped a beat. If the man was wearing official clothes, he could have let Siyu receive him. But since he was wearing casual clothes and was sneaking around, his purpose was intriguing. Hu Yuanli thought for a while and said, "Invite him to my signing room immediately!"
A moment later, the middle-aged man in the green robe was led to the signing room. As soon as he saw Hu Yuanli, the man said, "I am Wannian County Magistrate Chen Linfeng. Greetings to Hu Qianxian."
Hu Yuanli cupped his hands and said, "County Magistrate Chen need not be so polite. Please sit. May I know why County Magistrate Chen is visiting today? "
Chen Linfeng bowed and said, "The Lantai Palace is the Emperor's eyes and ears in charge of discipline. He is upright, upright, upright, upright, upright, respectful, straightforward, and forgiving. He is a gentleman of great elegance. Lowly official has always admired him. But my position is lowly and I have never dared to take the liberty to ask for an audience. Today, I plucked up my courage … "
Hu Yuanli slightly smiled and said, "County Magistrate Chen, I was going to Longqing Pool to visit General Zhongwu. When I was about to leave, I learned that County Magistrate Chen was visiting, so I temporarily stayed in the carriage. If County Magistrate Chen doesn't have any important matters to attend to, then I won't be accompanying you. "
Chen Linfeng was startled and hurriedly bowed and said, "I am here … I am here to report Junior Magistrate Qi Anrun and Directorate Chancellor Li Jianbai for accepting bribes, embezzling public funds, and annexing people's land by force!"
Hu Yuanli was startled at first, then slowly revealed a sneer and said slowly, "I have investigated these matters clearly! I was just about to ask Zhang Fengchen whether to arrest some of the officials involved in the case. "
Chen Linfeng's body trembled and didn't dare to hide anything anymore. He hurriedly said, "They also colluded with the founding county magistrate Chen Kaixun to set up a private market to trade with Tubo! Not only did they set up a private market, but they also sold gold, silver, copper, iron, silk, brocade, and … weapons! "
Hu Yuanli jumped up and asked with burning eyes, "Is this true?"
Since things had come to this, Chen Linfeng didn't want to hide anything. His father was dead and his mother was getting married. Everyone should take care of their own! He nodded forcefully and said resolutely, "This lowly official dares to guarantee it with my head!"
"Hahahaha …"
Hu Yuanli left his seat and walked forward with a smile like a spring breeze. He pressed County Magistrate Chen's shoulder and said enthusiastically, "Chen Ming's Mansion, don't be reserved. Sit down, sit down. Please tell me the details!"
Two hours later, Hu Yuanli personally sent Chen Linfeng out of the ceremonial gate and said earnestly, "Ming's Mansion, everything should be as usual when you go back this time. Don't reveal anything unusual. With this merit, I will definitely put in a good word for you in front of Zhang Fengchen. Not only will you not be punished for your crime, but you will also have the opportunity to be promoted! "
Chen Linfeng was grateful and cupped his hands, saying, "As long as I can be pardoned, I will be grateful for your great kindness for the rest of my life!"
After Chen Linfeng left, Hu Yuanli immediately ordered his men to prepare a horse and galloped to Long Qingchi. This news was really too important. Hu Yuanli was in high spirits all the way, and he had a feeling that he was proud of his success.
When Hu Yuanli arrived at Longqingchi, Yang Fan was discussing with Chen Dong who arrived first. After a round of selection, Yang Fan made a decision and said, "Let's take Li Jianbai as the main target. His power is much less than that of Junior Magistrate Li Anrun and Sima Zhao Haochen, but he has the widest connections.
As the chancellor of the Guanzhong Academy, he is connected to almost all of the noble families of Guanzhong. Through him and his indirect connections, we can become entangled with more than half of the people on this list. Through these people, the others will not be able to escape. We can capture them all in one fell swoop! "
"Heaven's sins can be defied! You can't bear the sins you bring upon yourself! " As soon as Yang Fan's voice fell, Hu Yuanli rushed in excitedly. "Erlang, I just received an important piece of news. This time, they really can't escape from their doom!"
