News came out from the East and West mansions that shocked everyone.
The news is that Brother Qiang from Dongfu went to Zongzheng Temple to take the exam today, but he failed.
In this world, all successors to a title need to go to Zongzheng Temple to take the assessment.
Only those who pass the assessment are eligible to inherit the title. And based on the test results, it is decided to lower the rank.
Before being awarded the title, the clan government will collect questions and test flag language, horse arrows, and foot arrows.
Those who are all excellent will receive the title they deserve. Those with two excellent and one average scores will be demoted to one grade; those with one excellent and two average scores, two excellent and one inferior grade will be demoted to second grade;
Those with three flats, one excellent, one flat and one bad will be demoted to three grades; those with one good and two bad, two flats and one bad, one flat, two bad and all bad will be suspended. Therefore, it is also called kaofeng.
And Jia Qiang went to take the exam, and the result was all bad. None of the three exams passed.
Come to think of it, Jia Qiang was originally a dandy who fought with dogs and walked with birds, sleeping in flowers and sleeping in willows.
He has never practiced these skills at all. How can he pass the exam?
But this incident also revealed Zongzheng Temple's deep malice towards the Jia family.
In fact, not just the Jia family, most of the descendants of the duke's family are playboys.
Could it be that they all got top marks in the exams when they entered the peerage?
This must be impossible. This kind of thing is most likely to turn a blind eye.
If everything is taken seriously, how many noble families will be offended? Even Zongzheng Temple cannot withstand such great pressure.
However, I didn't expect that this Zongzheng Temple would only focus on the Jia family.
The person selected by the Jia family to take the title test failed in all three tests and was unable to take the title as usual. This was very embarrassing.
This incident caused a stir in both the east and west governments.
The problem now is not only that Jia Qiang cannot attack the king normally, but the bigger problem is the candidate who will attack the king next.
Although Jia Qiang of the Jia family is a dandy, aren't the other candidates also dandies?
Even if they are not allowed to be playboys due to family reasons, it does not mean that they have military talents and can pass the examination.
The people in the two houses suddenly became confused, and even Jia Mu had a big headache.
Some people from the two prefectures even complained about Jia Huan. Of course, most of them were from Dongfu.
They felt that it was because Mr. Huan had offended Prince Zhongshun so hard that Prince Zhongshun took revenge on the Jia family.
If not, Zongzhengji would never be able to do things so well.
But now Mr. Huan is at the top of the Jia family, and even the ancestors have to give him some respect.
They dare to think about this kind of thoughts in their hearts, but they never dare to say it out loud.
On the second day, the scandal that happened in Ningguo Mansion was suddenly spread outside.
The father and son of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong got together, Jia Rong poisoned his father with his son, and Jia Zhen and his father killed his son. It was rumored that they had noses and eyes, and they were as vivid as real.
Well, this is actually true.
But the story being spread is not true and is obviously fabricated by someone with a deliberate intention.
In the court hall, several imperial officials impeached Ning Guofu.
However, Jia's family also has a solid foundation above the imperial court.
The impeachment of the censor did not affect the Jia family.
And many times, the censor's impeachment may not necessarily be the target of their impeachment.
They just want to clear their reputation and complete their performance.
As a censor, if you can't impeach a few people a year, you are definitely unqualified and want to be a censor.
If you don't impeach a few princes and grandsons, it will appear that you are afraid of power.
A run-down family like the Jia family, which is highly suitable and doesn't have to worry about any future troubles, is simply the favorite of the censors.
When given the opportunity, they are like flies that spot a smelly duck egg. Why not keep an eye on them?
If only these censors were impeached, that would be it.
Prince Zhongshun also stood up to impeach Ning Guofu.
He was not impeached by those flimsy scandals that spread on the streets.
He is Zong Zhengqing, not a censor. He has no power to gossip and cannot impeach at will.
What he impeached was the candidate selected by Ningguo Mansion to inherit the title. He actually failed in all three assessments. This shows that Ningguo Mansion has no successor and is no longer worthy of inheriting the title.
Prince Zhongshun requested your Majesty to deprive him of the title of Ning Guofu.
After the impeachment of Prince Zhongshun, the civil and military officials of the entire court could not help but fall into silence.
I have to say that Prince Zhongshun's move was really cruel.
Directly deprive Ning Guofu of his title!
Is His Majesty planning to attack the lineage of the Four Kings, Eight Dukes and Twelve Marquises?
And how could the four princes, eight princes, and twelve princes tolerate such a thing happening?
They were originally an offensive and defensive alliance that both prospered and suffered losses.
Sure enough, next, the four princes and eight princes factions launched a counterattack against Prince Zhongshun.
This time, the battle between the two sides was extremely fierce.
Finally, Emperor Chongkang, who had watched the show for a long time, put an end to their quarrel.
Emperor Chongkang adopted a compromise method and ordered the Ningguo Mansion to select qualified candidates for the title within three days.
If he still fails to pass the examination by then, he will be deprived of the title of Ning Guofu.
People from Ning Guo Mansion - well, Ning Guo Mansion no longer has a serious master, and Youshi can't hold up the cards. Jia Qiang, the great-great-grandson of Ning Guofu's direct lineage, has lost the qualification to ascend the throne, and other side branches are even less likely to be on the market.
This decree was ultimately carried out by Jia Mu and the people from Xifu.
Next, Jia Mu had to summon people from the Ningguo Mansion to hold a meeting to study the candidates for the title.
Now His Majesty has given three days for the Ningguo Mansion to select candidates to take the exam.
If he fails to pass the test again, Ning Guofu will lose the qualification to attack the nobility.
The emperor gave three days, but they couldn't really wait until the third day to send someone.
The candidate must be selected on the first day and successfully pass the test.
If we really can't find a suitable candidate and really lose the title of Ningguofu, it will be a disaster not only for the branch of Ningguofu.
Even for Rong Guofu, it was a traumatic event.
There are quite a lot of descendants from Jia Rong's lineage in Ningguo Mansion.
Even now, the candidates for inheriting the title are not limited to Ningguo Mansion, but also Rongguo Mansion.
Those who can usually be counted include Jia Chang, Jia Ling, Jia Qin, Jia Zhen, Jia Ping, Jia Zao, Jia Heng, Jia Fen, Jia Fang, Jia Jun, Jia Zhi, etc.
But when everyone was gathered together, the elder of the Jia family asked first, who among these juniors was really capable, and those who thought they could pass the examination could recommend themselves.
For the juniors of the Jia family, this is a golden opportunity to change their destiny.
This is an opportunity to leap over the dragon's gate.
However, the descendants of the Jia family were very humble, and no one dared to stand up.
This result disappointed Jia Mu and the elders of all ethnic groups.
None of the descendants of the Jia family are successful.
If no one follows up, the Jia family will eventually fall into the hands of these people in the future...
