On October 16, due to the stable situation, Yu Chen's family moved out of Jinyong City.
Shao Xun saw him off in person.
Before leaving, he saw Yu Wenjun's little sister reciting poems and books in the courtyard.
Alas, Yu Liang has shortcomings like this, but his sister is really cute.
At what age can I get married?
Women can get married at the age of thirteen. If they are not married after the age of seventeen, the court will force a marriage.
Her family is moving out of Jinyong City today, and they have to find ways to communicate more in the future.
I just like queens, and the future queens will also be queens.
With that in mind, Shao Xun went to his residence, intending to study the information about the Bingzhou Xiongnu. However, when he opened the door, he realized that he had gone to the wrong place and ended up at Queen Sheep's residence.
Yang Xianrong was working as a female celebrity. When she saw Shao Xun coming, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she seemed to be a little sarcastic and a little proud.
"General, are you here? Do you have something important to do?" Yang Xianrong put down the half-finished clothes in his hand and asked.
The morning sun falls on Yang Xianrong's face, and the small and cute light-colored down is clearly visible.
The neck is long and white, like a swan.
If you turned into a swan with an arrow, your neck would be even more attractive.
Her eyes are very talkative, and when she looks at you, she has an awe-inspiring and inviolable air of luxury.
But her tone of voice was soft and weak, which made people feel pitiful.
After feeling pity, he really wanted to bully her.
Absolutely amazing!
Don't be fooled by this woman's acting skills!
Shao Xun was secretly alert and said casually: "I want to ask the Queen for advice on selecting officials."
Yang Xianrong waved his hand and said, "There is a stone pier here. Sit down."
Shao Xun didn't move.
Yang Xianrong lowered his head and said softly: "I am a sinner, not a queen."
Shao Xun sneered secretly, will I be confused by your appearance?
While he was mocking, he had already moved his feet and sat opposite the queen.
Yang Xianrong laughed happily.
The smile is very innocent, reminding people of a teenage girl.
She raised her right arm, revealing her white and tender wrist, gently held her cheek, tilted her head slightly, lightly opened her lips, and said, "The general has returned to welcome the emperor?"
"The Emperor has returned to Luoyang." Shao Xun replied: "Perhaps, the Queen will be able to return to the palace in a few days."
Yang Xianrong said "hmm", but he didn't feel happy at all.
Come to think of it, maybe one day it will be scrapped again.
"Are the palace guards all Shao Jun's people?" Yang Xianrong blinked, his eyelashes swaying.
"yes."
Yang Xianrong breathed a sigh of relief.
Shao Xun looked at her.
Yang Xianrong smiled sheepishly, like a blooming jasmine flower.
hiss! This woman is better than me, and she is more of an actor than me!
Shao Xun coughed and said, "I'm leaving."
"The general returns to welcome the emperor. Don't think too much about the title. It will be difficult after the titles below the duke are dismissed. But it is not difficult to promote the lower official position." Yang Xianrong raised his voice and said.
Shao Xun sat down again and said, "Please ask the queen to decompose it."
"You must have understood that you should be filial and honest when you enter an official position, so I won't say more about it." Yang Xianrong said: "There are also official schools, imperial court elections, state and county elections, government appointments, door-to-door official appointments, high-ranking officials There are several methods such as table enlightenment."
"The official schools are Taixue and Guozixue. Guozixue only accepts the children of noble officials, and Taixue accepts the children of bureaucrats. Common people who have outstanding talents can also enroll."
"Queen, please stay here." Shao Xun asked carefully: "Can you tell me how to enter the Imperial Academy?"
"Shao Jun, do you want to enter Imperial College?" Yang Xianrong asked.
"No." Shao Xun pondered for a moment and said, "My nephew and brother are young and diligent and studious. I wonder if they can enter Taixue?"
Yang Xianrong glanced at Shao Xun in disbelief and asked, "How do you think your nephew and younger brother are studying?"
Shao Xun hesitated and said: "I have been studying for a few months recently and I know some words..."
After saying that, he also felt embarrassed.
Are you kidding me about sending almost illiterate relatives to the Imperial Academy?
Well, not really kidding. Because when he was in Luoyang, he heard that many people only had a name in Taixue and never got there, and then they could still hold official positions, so he started to think about it.
Yang Xianrong was dumbfounded.
I've heard of people who enter the Imperial Academy through the back door. Although those people don't know how to read, they are at least literate. Are you going too far? Just to make relatives eligible to be officials?
"It's just a name." Shao Xun explained: "I will strictly supervise the studies of my younger brother and nephew, and I will not bring shame to the Imperial Academy."
Nephews and brothers who want to be officials in the future must not be parallel importers.
If the level is too low, not only will it not be of much help, it may also tarnish your reputation and cause irreparable internal rifts.
On this point, Shao Xun has a very clear understanding.
"You may not be able to become an official if you come out of the Imperial College." Yang Xianrong reminded: "When you are appointed as an official in the imperial court, local government, or government, you must also examine your demeanor, appearance, moral ability, and character."
Character means country character and family status.
At this time, there are terms of "official character" and "personal character". In theory, official character should be consistent with personal character, but in practice this is not the case.
For example, if your family is of the second rank, it is impossible for you to be a second-rank official from the beginning. That would be too shocking. You have to be promoted slowly. Generally speaking, the official rank at the starting point of an official career will be lower than the family rank. The higher the family rank, the lower the official rank will be. It is not surprising that there is a difference of three or four ranks in the middle.
A child from a second-grade family may have his first position as Yu Chen's censor (sixth grade), but how many years has he been struggling?
There are also those whose official status is higher than their personal status. This mainly occurs among scholars who come from poor families. My starting point was very low, but I gradually moved up.
Personal character cannot be improved in a short period of time, but official character is possible. As long as you follow the right person and bet on the right treasure, it is not impossible to ride a rocket.
It's a pity that Shao Xun's character is zero!
Now he is the eighth-grade official again, which is an inversion of official character and character. The more serious the inversion is and the older he is, the more difficult it will be for him to move up.
"Character..." Shao Xun muttered silently for a few times without saying anything.
Yang Xianrong suddenly felt a sense of mischief and continued: "If your character is not good, it will be difficult to replace the official."
Sheep Xianrong, don’t bark! Shao Xun glanced at her and said gently: "It doesn't matter."
"Actually, with Shao Jun's contribution, it doesn't mean anything to get one or two places for admission to Imperial College. It's easy to hear." Yang Xianrong looked at Shao Xun, his medium-sized, narrow and delicate cherry mouth opened and closed, and said : "With the merit of welcoming him, it will be much easier for the court to remove officials, even for the general of the Forbidden Army. It is not impossible for him to be a general of the imperial army. Three to five years later, he will be given the title of general again, and the establishment of the government will be successful. Your younger brother and nephew are imperial students. When an official’s name is justified, no one can tell what is wrong.”
The "removal of officials" mentioned by Yang Xianrong is another way to become an official: election by the court, and appointment by the emperor.
To put it bluntly, the local government has the right to elect scholars and examine filial piety and integrity, so how could the imperial court not have talent selection channels?
The imperial court makes its own elections and the emperor appoints officials, often using words such as "levy, worship, confer, promote, remove, supplement, leave, call, and appoint".
This road is not easy, but as Yang Xianrong said, having the ability to meet the enemy is more effective than anything else.
Moreover, this is a fast track for promotion, depending on your energy and connections - in the past, it was mostly reserved for princes, princes, nobles, and children of relatives, and now it is also the case.
Of course, Shao Xun does not need to be elected by the imperial court, nor does his relatives. He can just enter the Imperial Academy and put his name on it. Why is it so troublesome?
Yang Xianrong is implying that he works for the imperial court and can be promoted quickly.
Oh, this woman! Soon the imperial court will be run by Sima Yue. Do I still care about this?
He immediately said: "General of the Forbidden Army, this is not what I want."
This was a clear rejection. Yang Xianrong's face turned pale, and then became a little sad.
After a long time, he whispered: "I'm... afraid."
Am I afraid?
Shao Xun was in a daze. He remembered that he once said "Don't be afraid" to the queen.
Yang Xianrong, don’t test me, my character is zero! Do you really want to become a swan hit by an arrow?
"The kings are going back and forth in Luoyang. Sima Lun, Sima Jiong, and Sima Yi are all dead. Now Sima Ying has also been defeated. Shao Jun doesn't think about the future?" Yang Xianrong added fuel to the fire and said: " As long as you are loyal to the court, you will be rewarded."
Well, the word "reward" is a bit strong.
Shao Xun frowned.
Do you want me to be Lu Bu and betray Sikong?
He immediately stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "I have been studying classics and history today and have not seen the queen."
After that, he turned around and left.
Yang Xianrong's rich expression disappeared in an instant.
If a person does not serve himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth.
She just wants to live, no matter what the cost.
She knew very well what kind of character Sima Yue had.
He wanted to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, but he didn't dare. When the mind is entangled, Bao Buqi will do something.
Today's emperor's throne is recognized by hundreds of officials and scholars, and his legitimacy is very strong.
If he is here, if anyone else wants to usurp the throne, they will end up like Sima Lun.
Therefore, Yang Xianrong was really worried about what Sima Yue would do. She didn't care what happened to the emperor, but as long as the emperor lived, her situation would not be as low as the mud. If the emperor is not here and the new emperor is Sima Yue's puppet, her fate will definitely not be good.
Today's wooing failed, but it didn't completely fail.
Shao Xun still has selfish motives. As long as you have selfish motives, you can make deals.
