Chapter 330: Righteousness and Benefit
"Meet Gao Xiang. ""/"/"Wan Wenming bowed his hand slightly because he was wearing military uniforms: I will forgive my sins after coming down late."
Gao Gong held him and said, "It's good if you come, it's good if you come. Lord Wan sat down and talked."
"Thank you, Gao Xiang." Wan Wenming nodded with a serious face, and sat down under Gao Gong.
"Have you read the letter I wrote to you?" Gao Gong didn't say nonsense and asked directly: "How many people can be mobilized by Lord Wan? How many people did he bring here this time?"
Gao Gong asked directly, but Wan Wenming did not hide it. He replied: "Last night, the emperor arrested Lu Bing's subordinates and other criminals. The officials from more than a hundred households in the North and South yamen were gathered in the imperial prison and waited for the order. There were soldiers guarding the door. It was not until this afternoon that the screening was completed one by one, but the officials of the two yamen had been replaced. Therefore, Wan Wenming could mobilize not many people, and there were only about forty people in total. They were all useful people who had seen blood on the battlefield. One person could match three or five ordinary soldiers. This time they brought them all.
"Enough, enough, only ten people are enough." Gao Gong breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Wan, you immediately send twenty people to my staff to bring a warrant to seal the restaurant "Qi Shui Legacy" and take care of the boss and the waiter. As for you and the remaining soldiers, please stand by me here. Someone suspected that someone had leaked the exam questions for the current exam. As soon as the Gongyuan started the exam, you and I rushed in to take over the exam room and arrested the suspects. The grand ceremony of the talent ceremony, and the selection of talents is a country's important weapon, and it is not to be desecrated!"
This sentence is decisive and shows great determination.
Wan Wenming did not move and asked, "Gao Xiang, how did the emperor arrange this major change in Jinyi's military personnel? Who will take over the position of commander? How did we old people be placed?"
"When is it now? Lord Wan is still thinking about personal honor and disgrace?" Gao Gong was impatient, and a fire came up, and his face suddenly didn't look like it.
Although Wan Wenming still maintained a humble posture, his eyelids had already drooped. He used the men in the imperial clothes to seal the examination room. Regardless of whether someone was found to have cheated inside and destroyed the national round of talent ceremony, he would definitely not be able to take any more money in the future. If nothing was found, not only would Gao Gong want to eat, but whether Wan Wenming's head could be kept will be a problem.
Without great benefits, he would not take risks with Gao Gong!
Gao Gong was about to get angry, but Wan Wenming looked like he was not seeing a rabbit or showing off an eagle. He felt a move in his heart: Wan Wenming was originally a military gangster, not a serious scholar. Telling him the great principles of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness is undoubtedly playing the zither against a cow. A gentleman knows it with righteousness, and a villain tempts it for profit.
He took a breath and said slowly: "I just got the letter of the commander of Jinyi's personal army. Zhu Xizhong, Duke Cheng of Nanya. As for your position as the assistant minister of Jinyiwei..."
Wan Wenming pricked his ears.
Gao Gong: "I have been dismissed from my post on the spot. As for how to place it in the future, you can check this official letter first. The Lishu has approved the bonus and will take effect only after the cabinet has agreed to the expiration date."
After saying that, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over.
Wan Wenming's expression moved, and he quickly stretched out his hands and answered respectfully. He only opened it and took a look, and his spirits were flying.
It turned out that this was an official appointment letter, appointing him as the garrison of Nanjing.
Speaking of which, the garrison is not very big, and he is also a military position, and he is not taken seriously on weekdays. However, the garrison in Nanjing is quite important and directly controls the Nanjing garrison and the remaining guards in Nanjing, and the protection affairs. Although he is the fourth-rank official as the current assistant to the Jinyiwei.
The assistant rank is only equivalent to a secretary. If the commander is not in charge of affairs, he will be extremely powerful. But now that after Zhu Xizhong became the commander, Wan Wenming can be said to have no power at all, just a errand and errands.
This Nanjing garrison is different, holding great power, and is the third most powerful figure in Nanjing after the Secretary of War and the eunuch in Nanjing. In the past, he was appointed by the nobles of Yougong, Hou and Earl. He can be said to be a prince.
Wan Wenming was a descendant of a hero, and he also had a title and was qualified to be a guard.
Such a position that is so fat and full of strength is something that thousands of civilizations dream of.
Half a year ago, he was transferred back to Beijing from Chengdu and was almost crazy in the yamen. Now he finally got a chance to let go, so why not be ecstatic?
His hands trembled slightly, and his heart made a fuss: A real man would eat nine cauldrons if he didn't cook nine cauldrons, and he would do his best!
Then he knelt in front of Gao Gong: "Thank you for your support, Wan Wenming is the leader of the Pavilion Master.
"Okay, okay." After shouting three times, Gao Gong helped Wan Wenming up on the ground.
After Wan Wenming stood up, he immediately sent twenty people to lead Gao Gong's aides and hurriedly ran to capture a group of criminals in the restaurant.
After a long busy day, Wan Wenming asked, "Gao Xiang, are you going to go in and check the examination room now?"
"No." Gao Gong waved his hand: "It's useless to go in now, and there is no evidence to find. You have to wait until the test questions are handed over to the candidates and wait until the candidates start answering the paper."
He sneered, took out a note from his arms, looked up and down: "I don't believe that no one carries it. Just search carefully and then match the topic......"
Wan Wenming leaned over to look at it, but he saw that the note was full of words, which was probably the question of the subject. The question on the head was exactly the sentence in "Mencius": "Li Lou's wisdom and Gongshuzi's cleverness cannot be achieved without rules."
"Ye Xiang, is this the title of the eight-legged essay?"
Gao Gong: "It's not sure yet. By the way, an old friend of Mr. Wan in this exam is in the examination room. If it is found out later that he is suspected of fraud, but I don't know what Mr. Wan will do?"
Wan Wenming was stunned and immediately understood that what Gao Gong was talking about was Wu Jie, and said, "Wu Shizhen has great kindness to me, but with his talent and character, he will definitely not."
Gao Gong looked at him deeply: "What if Wu Jie really cheated?"
Wan Wenming said sternly: "The national law cannot be spared. If Wu Jie really has any doubts about fraud, I said that I should enforce the law impartially. If Wu Shizhen was sentenced to death, Wan Wenming would have to accompany him for his life to repay his great kindness for saving my child. If he was exiled, Wan Wenming should do his best to take care of him."
Gao Gong looked at him with admiration: "Okay, even if you are loyal and righteous, you will be a real man. It is worth looking at you with your true nature. If Wu Jie wants to be an official, he doesn't need to do anything with his talent and the favor he received from the emperor. Besides, this person is very famous and will never do such a thing, so you can rest assured."
Wan Wenming breathed a sigh of relief.
In a moment, news came from the restaurant. The staff and others had arrested all the prisoners, restaurant owners, waiters and others, and detained them in a room. During this period, the Shuntian Prefecture Office and the Jinyiwei also visited them, and after seeing Gao Gong's warrant, they did not interfere.
Next is to wait until the exam officially begins.
Gao Gong and Wan Wenming both did not sleep all night, and they didn't talk nonsense at the moment. They each found a quiet room to fall asleep, just waiting for darkness.
When it got completely dark, servants invited the two adults to come out for dinner.
Wan Wenming slept for a while, but he felt even more tired. However, Gao Gong was still energetic and asked what time it was now, and have all the candidates entered the venue?
The answer was that it was the hour of Hai, and scholars from all provinces had entered the market, and now it was the turn of the two capitals in the north and south.
"I have to wait for another hour." Gao Gong lifted his chopsticks and raised his hand at Wan Wenming: "Eat!"
At this moment, it was the turn of candidates in Shuntian Prefecture where Wu Jie was located to enter the venue by name.
It was already deep in the night, and the square was filled with lanterns, illuminating like daylight, and even the stars in the sky were completely submerged.
The Mingyuan Tower opposite is tall and majestic in the lights, with several officials standing on it.
Wu Jie had a good vision, and saw that Xu Jie, the second assistant to the president of this exam, and more than a dozen examiners, were standing there, as well as many soldiers holding weapons.
It is around 11 o'clock in Beijing time in the future. Xu Ge Lao stood here at 4 o'clock in the morning. He used three meals in the middle and went down to rest for an hour at noon. In addition, he stood here straight at the time.
This old man is quite strong in spirit and physical strength.
Of course, Vice President Zhao Wenhua was not there. He was so ill that he would have killed him even in one hour.
Several of Wu Jie's friends had already entered the examination room early, and even Juren Lin entered at 4:00 p.m.
However, candidates kept coming to chat with the famous Wu Shizhen, and their lives were not long.
As for Wu Lun, he had already gone in. Without this guy, he was still quiet around him. I don’t know which test area this villain would be assigned to.
There are many scholars in the two capitals, Nanjing ranks first among the provincial governments, while Beijing ranks fourth after Nanjing, Zhejiang and Jiangxi.
In general, the rules of the imperial examination are no different from those of the provincial examination. You must first go to the platform at the gate of the Gongyuan District downstairs to verify your true self and receive the examination papers.
After checking the candidate's identity, the yamen runner will turn back to the examiner Gao on the upstairs and report: "Report, the inspectors are selfless in contact with each other!"
"Report, the service personnel have no disadvantages to convey on their behalf!"
After seeing the examiner nodding, he let the person enter the gate.
After shouting like this for a day, the yamen runners couldn't stand it. They waited until their throats became hoarse, and then someone else took over.
The queue was so frustrated that it took me a long time to move forward.
Wu Jie was anxious and felt helpless. He couldn't help but sigh: Fortunately, he only won 81 tribute students in the imperial examination. He would not wait for such a long time when he arrived at the palace examination. Thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, this was the last time.
I looked back at the already empty square.
There were no people in the square, but the ground was dirty and messy. There were caps that the candidates squeezed out, bad test baskets, and suspicious water marks.
When the wind blows, there is a scent of fishy smell that is indescribable.
Wu Jie suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart: I have worked hard for more than half a year and have been waiting for this day, hoping to pass the imperial court once. Wu Jie doesn't want to come again.
