Chapter 229: The Backbone of the Times


It is impossible to stop, and this dispute cannot be easily quelled.In order to compete for huge interests, the Xiling Party and Ren Zhen fought for two rounds, but they were both defeated and disgraced.If it stops here, it will send a strong signal between the government and the opposition, making the world mistakenly believe that the Xiling Party has lost its position and will only have more interests taken away in the future.In any case, they have to get back on the field.In the first two rounds, they still talked about things, but Ren Zhen jumped out and ruined their calculations.They were furious, and then they had to take the initiative to fight and take back a city in order to regain momentum from Ren Zhen's hands.As soon as the empress's words came out, someone from the court class came out again, and reported: "The minister has a play." ”This person is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Yuanzhi.Ren Zhen frowned, looked sideways at the other party, and had a strange feeling.He also serves as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and this Xu Shangshu is his top boss.Although he has not officially taken office, if something big happens to the Ministry of Rites, the two should discuss it in advance."

What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, according to the old system of the imperial court, although the imperial examination was presided over by the Ministry of Rites, over the years, all the respected Confucians were appointed as the main examiners and reviewed the examination papers, only in this way can the scholars of the world be convinced. ”He paused slightly, and said his true intentions, "This time, Your Majesty ordered the Hou of Blowing Water to serve as the chief examiner, which violates the old system and cannot be convincing, so I implore Your Majesty to withdraw your fate" In other words, we are not convinced by you Cai Jiushi Ren Zhen couldn't help but be stunned, the first time I met with the leader, I had to fight first, which was really exciting.Although the chief examiner of the court examination is a piece of fat, countless people covet it, but he was so strong just now that he failed to deter Xu Yuanzhi, and the other party even called out in person, most of them were also members of the Xiling Party.There are a total of six departments in the court, and it has only been a short time before the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Rites have stood up, and the Xiling Party is really huge.The focus of the first two battles was only on Xiahou Chun, but this time, it went straight to the main character.Thinking through the joints, Ren Zhen didn't wait for the empress to speak, and walked straight out.He knew that with her temperament, he would definitely leave it to himself to settle it again."

As a closed disciple of Confucianism and a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, I am qualified to be the chief examiner whether I am from a teacher or an official position.Why is Lord Xu unconvinced" Xu Yuanzhi stroked his silver beard lightly, his demeanor was calm, he was not afraid of Ren Zhen's momentum, and his eyes were full of light."

The chief examiner can only be a civil official, it is true that you are a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, but there is also a martial marquis, according to the rank, whichever is higher, you are actually a first-class military attaché, and you do not meet the requirements.This is one of them. ”"You are a disciple of Confucianism, and your status is respected, but you are still too young at the moment, and you have no academic achievements, how can you compare to those erudite Confucians, and you are not qualified to be the teacher of many scholars.This is the second one. ”"You have just entered the world, you are not familiar with the Confucian atmosphere in the world, and your actions are too extreme, your eyes are above the top, and you are not famous for Confucianism.This is the third. ”He looked at Ren Zhen squarely and continued: "In view of these three points, the old man thinks that you are not qualified to be the main exam. ”He talked eloquently, his words were like flowing water, without any condensation, and he threw out three reasons in one breath, trying to make Ren Zhen lose one or the other, and he couldn't parry.As the last word fell, the echoes of the ministers in the rear surged like a tide, engulfing Ren Zhen."

Xu Fuzi's eyes are like torches, and he said my heart" "Yes, I think so too" "How important is the imperial examination, you must not let a young man take the exam at will" Although he witnessed Ren Zhen's aggressive momentum just now, everyone still spoke up one after another to support Xu Yuanzhi.This is not because they are not afraid of Ren Zhen, but because they involve their own vital interests and have to speak out.The Great Imperial Examination is related to the selection of young officials, and it is very important, not only determining the fate of all candidates, but also affecting the rise and fall of many family sects.Which of these officials of the previous dynasty did not have a deep background of power behind them.From their biological children, to distant nephews, and even the descendants of their subordinates, they are the hope of the family's future.In order to cultivate young newcomers to succeed them and install them in the imperial court, every year hundreds of officials will spend a lot of effort to find a way to seek a big or small official position.The world is like this, and the examiners of the Ministry of Rites collect money to do things, and favoritism has become a tacit unspoken rule, and everyone is used to it.If in previous years, it was nothing more than those famous Confucians in the capital who took turns to take the exam, everyone was in the officialdom, they were all old and sophisticated, and they would not eat the fireworks of the world, and they were happy to sell some favors.But this year, everything is different.Since the implementation of the new policy by the imperial court and the emphasis on literature and the suppression of the armed forces, some soldiers and soldiers in the army have been withdrawn, demoted, or deposed, and many positions have been vacant and need to be filled by new people.The new policy has not yet taken effect, and the Southern Jin Dynasty has taken the opportunity to attack again, and the war between the two dynasties has been rekindled.For newcomers, this is a good opportunity to make a name for themselves and make a difference, and they should not be missed.The times have decided, and this year's court test is full of weight.Perhaps because the rewards are too tempting, the geniuses who have never entered the WTO have been in the world have all set their eyes on this court test.This year's candidates are bound to be full of gold content, and the competition is extremely fierce.In the year of this kind of imperial examination, the power of the chief examiner has been invisibly magnified, and the corresponding interests have also soared, and it has become a necessary position for the eastern and western parties.At this time, Ren Zhen appeared, took away the fat they had coveted for a long time, broke the original balance of officialdom, and subverted the unspoken rules of convention.This is how they tolerate the two holy decrees issued by the empress yesterday, which is tantamount to a thunderbolt from the sky, shattering the dreams of many people.Before going to court today, the two parties had secretly agreed to compete for the commander, and to compete for the main examination of those officials who were wise enough to protect themselves and were not involved in party disputes, and this time it was also very rare for them to want to participate.The motives of these people are very simple, they ran to give Ren Zhen a gift yesterday and interceded, but they were closed and returned in vain.In their eyes, Mr.

Xiao came from outside the world, and he really didn't eat the fireworks of the world.Since this road is impassable, and there is no other way to go, then you can only dig open the wall that blocks the way.If it is the other way around, when everyone pushes together, will the wall fall?

Driven by interests, everyone hugged together, ready to work together to push him down first, and then carry out the follow-up competition.Looking at their impassioned expressions, Ren Zhen smiled.The more annoyed these people are, the more they want to fight him, the more they show the necessity of him to be this chief examiner.Hire a few more capable ministers who are really worried about the country and the people, have courage and responsibility, so that this chaotic temple will be a little less pickled, and he can be a protective umbrella to protect from the wind and rain, to cultivate and protect those real talents.Be the backbone of the times
