5 The jealousy of the sour scholars

"Bah!"

"You shameless little Hunhou, the leader of the four major playboys in Jinling City, there is no one in the world who is more foolish than you."

"Your father, Hunhou, is not as good as you! You have defeated Hunhou for six generations, and completely defeated Hunhou's mansion."

"You have squandered 100,000 taels of silver from the Prince Ping's Mansion and refused to repay it. You are committed to death. You deserve to be demoted by the emperor to the son-in-law of the Prince Ping's Mansion!"

"It's still the saint and wise. Finally, I found such a wonderful way to deal with you and conquer you, the monster!

Now you have become a son-in-law and are tied up by a tight hoop. You are lawless. It’s so vivid and refreshing. It’s worth drinking a cup of wine to celebrate this matter!”

"Everyone, the court issued an order that the Gongche Mansion will receive the 'recommendation documents' to be issued this year. We will hand over the documents that support the emperor's marriage and marriage to the Gongche Mansion together.

It shows that our Confucian scholars support the court and must record this matter into the history of the Great Chu Dynasty and praise our Majesty's wisdom and magical martial arts!"

The scholars were passionate and shouted loudly while shouting the emperor's wiseness.

Chu Tianxiu was scolded by the scholars and scholars in the hall. He could not scold this large group of scholars by himself, and immediately shrank back with a tactful look, and took a sip of cold water wine in depression, even more depressed.

He was annoyed.

If you are unlucky, you can even get stuck in your teeth if you drink cold water!

Why isn’t there a single Confucian scholar supporting him?

Didn’t it be agreed that Confucian scholars are all pure and righteous people, and we will criticize the treacherous ministers of the court together?

Why did the emperor bewitched by the treacherous ministers and demoted him to marry into his wife? He did such a foolish thing, but he shouted loudly.

Where is your upright and righteous stance?

In order to attack my enemy, Xiao Hunhou, no matter how stupid the emperor is?

A group of guys who have no position and no backbone!

Chu Tianxiu complained in her heart.

In Hongmen Inn, the Confucian scholars cursed loudly, and magically saw that Xiaohunhou did not reply.

This is quite strange.

They were full of burdens, and it was boring to curse alone. Soon, some Confucian scholars chattered and talked about another major event in Jinling City.

On the Winter Solstice, two major events happened in Jinling City.

One was the emperor's order, and the Xiaohunhou gave the wife to the palace. It caused a sensation and spread throughout the entire Jinling Imperial City in just one day.

Another, of course, is the emperor’s decree every winter solstice.

During the annual election, any king, prince, minister, or county magistrate or more than 2,000 stones can be recommended to the court, participate in the "Statement" assessment, and become an official.

Because the annual election is the only way to become an official in the court, the Confucian scholars do not know how to fight, and only the annual election is the official, so they are very concerned about it.

"The court issued an order to promulgate every year, how are you preparing?!"

"My dear brothers, have you found a way to recommend the official position?"

"Oh, it's difficult! Only kings, princes, three dukes, and more than two thousand stone county magistrates are qualified to recommend one person to serve as an official. There are so few recommended places, only a hundred people are recommended a year.

Most of us are Confucian scholars and scholars who are from ordinary people and small wealth. How can we gain the relationship between kings, princes, ministers, and county magistrates? If we don’t have a deep relationship, who would recommend you?!"

"We have studied Confucian scriptures that we have been hard at most of our lives, but we only hope that the court can take a fancy to them and give us a quota for recommendation... Otherwise, we will not have a great future in our lives!"

In the inn, all the Confucian scholars and scholars were mourning everywhere and sighed.

No wonder they are so worried.

It has only been sixty or seventy years since Emperor Taizu Xiang Yu established the Great Chu Dynasty.

The Great Chu Dynasty did not implement the imperial examination system that lasted for 2,000 years in later generations, but implemented an ancient and backward annual examination system (announcement system) - elected by kings, princes, ministers, and officials of the county magistrates of 2,000 stones. After the court's assessment, it was only granted official positions.

To put it bluntly, this era is an era of kings, princes and families and monopolize the regime.

This is better than the hereditary system of Shang, Zhou and Qin, and is also more backward than the imperial examination system in later generations. It is difficult for ordinary people to squeeze into the court.

If you don’t get the recommendation of a high-ranking official, you will participate in the imperial examination, and you still want to become an official?!

Haha, you want to become an official after learning some Confucianism. Which onion are you?

There is no door!

Ordinary Confucian scholars can only make a living in large families, villages, counties, or even private schools.

Year-end?

Chu Tianxiu pricked up his ears alertly and listened. After listening for a while, after careful consideration, he was extremely surprised.

Hunhou is a king and a lord, and it meets the conditions for recommending an official.

Isn’t this tailor-made for him?

He has been worried about his son-in-law these two days, thinking about persuading the emperor to change the imperial edict.

Why didn’t I expect to recommend myself as an official, this is the road in front of me? As long as I become an official, I don’t have to live under the roof of the Pingwang Mansion.

I remember that Li Bai and Zuo Zongtang were both son-in-law who were clearly written in history books!

One of them was the most famous Tang Dynasty man, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Yang Guifei, and eunuchs all praised his stinky feet.

Another senior official from the late Qing Dynasty who passed the imperial examination in the Qing Dynasty and was so famous that he looked down on the world!

This means that a son-in-law can become an official!

This little marquis simply recommended himself as an official.

When you become a high-ranking official, you don’t have to look at the face of the Prince Ping’s Mansion. Who dares to sarcastically mock him? These poor Confucian scholars are too late to flatter him!

Let the second wife of Prince Ping's Mansion, General Qian, look cool and arrogant, let you Confucian scholars point out in person.

What's wrong with my little husband being a son-in-law?

Let's see!

Chu Tianxiu was tricked and slapped the table suddenly, "I will recommend myself to be an official tomorrow! You corrupt scholars, just wait for me to become a high-ranking official and come and flatter me!"

In the inn hall, the scholars of Confucianism reacted for a moment and were stunned.

yes!

The Hunhou Mansion is also a marquis, and there is a quota for recommendations to be appointed!

Wouldn't Xiaohunhou have a great chance to become an official?

"No way!"

"How wise the emperor is, how could he allow such a foolish playboy as a silly man to become an official!"

All the Confucian scholars and scholars were as sad as they were trampled on their tails.

They were all very talented in reading scriptures and were knowledgeable enough to support the country, but they were suffering from the lack of recommendations from high-ranking officials and had no chance to register for the exam, and the court did not need them.

But Xiao Hunhou, this stupid and incorruptible [Doudou Novel], relies on his hereditary ancestor Yin, and was born to recommend himself as an official.

How unfair the way of heaven is!

"Jia Sheng, aren't you a private school teacher in the Pingwang Mansion for more than 20 years? The son-in-law of the royal mansion, Xiao Hunhou is going to become an official, aren't you angry?!"

Suddenly, someone said.

Everyone immediately looked at an old Confucian scholar in his fifties in the hall.

This old Confucian scholar has been teaching in Pingwang Mansion for half his life, and has studied a lot and is full of soreness. On weekdays, he is the most cynical and hates those foolish people who have become officials.

He didn't speak much tonight.

"Hmph, what's so annoying!"

The old Confucian scholar disagreed and bowed to the palace and said, "Every year at the age of Laba, the emperor personally presided over the assessment. It is strict. With the little marquis, he can still be seen by the saint? What's wrong with him asking him to recommend himself!"

After saying that, he turned his head to Xiaohunhou, shook his head and said, "Jia Sheng is here to wait for the news about Xiaohunhou.

Jia was willing to gamble with the little marquis to bet whether the little marquis could pass the stern assessment of the emperor and become an official! The loser would voluntarily run naked in the snow-collar city of Jinling!”

"Haha! This is a good thing. Li is willing to follow Brother Jia and make this oath together."

"We are all willing to accompany you!"

After hearing what Jia Sheng said, the Confucian scholars and scholars suddenly woke up.

Xiaohunhou can recommend himself, but it does not mean that he can become an official.

Before taking office, the emperor personally conducted an assessment.

It's strict!

The emperor was so disgusted with Xiao Hunhou and demoted him to a son-in-law.

Just because Xiao Hunhou can only spend money and spend money too much, why do the court asks him to come? I am afraid that the court will not have enough money and food to waste Xiao Hunhou can’t ruin it?

Xiao Hunhou was clearly daydreaming.

Their concerns and jealousy were completely redundant!

"Wocao, Jinling City is running naked in the snow. You dare to swear this kind of poison! Mr. Jia, you have a kind of spirit, admire you! You corrupt scholars and a group of official fans are obviously jealous of you, so you slander me in every way!

Let's go back to the palace to write "Self-recommendation letter".

I will write to the court tomorrow, spread my wings and soar into the sky! Wait for these Confucian scholars to become jealous and crazy, and run naked in the snow and ice in Jinling City to celebrate my little marquis as an official."

Chu Tianxiu laughed out loud and headed straight to Prince Ping's Mansion.

"Okay!"
