The next day was the day of the election, and Zhao Shouzheng and his disciples rushed to the Ministry of Personnel's Office early to wait for the appointment of an official.

The person responsible for the selection of new Jinshi is the Wenxuan Department, known as the No. 1 Department in the world.

Because officials under the fourth rank were recommended by Wenxuansi, and then they conducted a ministry discussion...that is, the Minister of Personnel, the two ministers, and the four doctors of Wenxuansi, discussed and decided on the candidates.

Generally speaking, the list prepared by the Wenxuan Department will be adopted for every ten**.

Especially the 1,400 magistrates and prefectures in the country... the people in the ministry were afraid that they could not figure out where they were, and almost all of them were manipulated by the Wenxuan Department.

Therefore, the Wenxuansi's doctor is also called "Xiaotianguan".

In the first ten or twenty years of the new Jinshi's career, they basically couldn't escape from Xiao Tianguan's palm. Naturally, no one dared to neglect and came to the Wenxuan Department to wait early.

The notice was that Chen Shi began to select the ranks, but more than 400 new Jinshi were waiting until almost noon, when the closed door of the Wenxuansi Department opened.

"Come in first." A chief minister stood at the door and called out.

When he was chatting with Zhao Shouzheng in the same year, he quickly tidied up his robe on the top scholar, said to the head of the official, and then followed him into the yard.

Then officials came out one after another and asked the new Jinshi to come in to accept the election.

~~

But Mr. Zhao followed the chief into the yard.

Then I saw seven main rooms on the north side of the courtyard, three rooms on the east and west sides, and a row of downsized rooms filled with composition warehouses.

There are wooden signs with black background and gold characters hanging on each room. There are doctor's room one and junior's room two. There are eight departments under it: the subject of seeking talents, opening a subject, monks and Taoist dynasties, eliminating the subject, returning to the subject, giving fake subjects, procuratorial subjects, missing subjects and revealing subjects.

The chief led Zhao Shouzheng into the doctor's room in Zhengzhong.

The doctor's room is a suite. The head of the department ordered Zhao Shouzheng to wait outside first and report to him. Xiaotian inside asked him to enter.

Zhao Shouzheng hurriedly put his official robe on, took a deep breath and went in to pay homage to Lu Guangzu, the famous Wenxuansi's doctor.

This Duke was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing. He had been transferred to various departments of the Ministry of Personnel for more than ten years. He had been in the position of Wenxuan Department for seven years.

He is the longest-serving doctor of the Wenxuan Department since its founding.

Originally, three years ago, the court was preparing to promote him to the Right Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the court's discussion had been passed.

But Lu Guangzu rejected the public and was promoted from the local area to the head of the Ministry of Revenue named Hai Rui.

Hai Rui made a big news as soon as he entered Beijing.

Then, he continued to stay in the position of "Little Heavenly Official" and could not move to his house.

This veteran doctor is already forty-five or six years old, with a thin figure, a serious expression, and two profound nasolabial folds on his face. He looks like he is a man who has been in power for a long time.

"I'll pay my respects to the Chief of Public Affairs." Zhao Shouzheng did not dare to be negligent and quickly gave a deep gift.

"The top scholar, don't be polite, please sit down." As Lu Guangzu spoke, he looked at Zhao Shouzheng habitually, sighed in his heart, and then said step by step:

"According to the regulations, the new top scholar is awarded the compilation of the sixth-rank Hanlin Academy, and you are no exception."

"Yes." Zhao Shouzheng hurriedly sat upright and nodded in response.

"This is your confession." Lu Guangzu forwarded the letter of appointment that had been drafted earlier to Mr. Zhao Er.

Zhao Shouzheng hurriedly took it with both hands, glanced at the seal of the Ministry of Personnel with red heads, and asked while putting it in his sleeve: "I dare to ask, when will I report to the hospital?"

"You don't have to go now." But Lu Guangzu said Youyou.

"Uh..." Zhao Shouzheng was stunned and looked at Lu Guangzu in confusion.

"Let's go to the Censorate first." Lu Guangzu avoided Zhao Shouzheng's gaze and said, "You may be in a little trouble."

"Ah?" Mr. Zhao was so angry that he couldn't help but panic in secret, could it be that Ning An and I had a story?

"I don't know what's going on?"

"I don't know very well." Lu Guangzu said lightly: "It's just that early this morning, I received a document from the Censorate and asked you not to be appointed as an official at the moment, so that you can go to the Censorate to listen to the interview."

"This..." Mr. Zhao immediately felt sweaty and couldn't help but recall the old man's words about 'How to make a judgment when seducing the princess'.

"But the headquarters has used a seal on your official lawsuit," Seeing that his face was pale, Lu Guangzu sighed softly: "It is impossible to withdraw, I can only wait until your matter is found out before talking."

He did not tell Zhao Shouzheng that if his immediate superior, Mr. Wang, had he said hello to his grandson in the same year, the Ministry of Personnel would not have offended the Censorate, which was dissatisfied with the disobedience.

"Thank you for your protection." Zhao Shouzheng has been a minister of the minister for so many years. He has never eaten pork or seen pigs run away. He knows that this is the Ministry of Personnel who has protected him.

"Don't be too nervous. As long as you become an official, there will be no one who will not be impeached. Otherwise, what about the officialdom? It's all about time." Mr. Lu stood up, comforted Mr. Zhao Er and sent him to the door himself.

"Oh, okay, I understand." Zhao Shouzheng forced himself to bow his mind and walked out of the Wenxuan Department.

Seeing his back disappearing at the door, Lu Guangzu shook his head and sighed: "The country has been in 200 years, and it has not been heard that there is a top scholar who was impeached on the same day."

The head of the side whispered: "If the Chief of Public Security hadn't resisted the pressure, he wouldn't even be appointed as an official."

"Lu is not an accomplice." Lu Guangzu whispered, turned around and entered the duty room.

~~

However, after Zhao Shouzheng took the official robe of the sixth rank, he left the Ministry of Personnel in a daze.

Fan Datong quickly called the sedan chair owner and carried the sedan chair over.

After the zhangyuangong sat firmly in the sedan chair, Fan Datong lifted the curtain and asked flatteringly: "Brother, are you going to the Hanlin Academy?"

"No, the Censorate." Zhao Shouzheng rubbed his temples, feeling his head buzzing.

"Master, should you go home first?" Fang Wen suddenly appeared and suddenly said.

"Damn!" Fan Datong was startled and looked at the boy like a ghost, not knowing where he got out of it.

"Yes, I should go home first." Zhao Shouzheng agreed with this.

I have my dad and son at home. I have to make a decision on such a big deal. I just want to think about it.

"Go back home, the master wants to change his official uniform." Fang Wen shouted deliberately, giving a legitimate reason, and then disappeared.

The sedan chair owner quickly carried the sedan chair out of Dong'anmen and headed towards Chunsong Hutong.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Zhao Hao's carriage halfway.

"Young Master!" Fang Wen quickly greeted and trotted over.

"Uncle Gao, stop the car quickly." Zhao Shizhen sat on the shaft of the car, and saw this and hurriedly greeted Gao Wu who was driving.

Before the car could stop, he jumped out of the car and ran towards Fang Wen.

"Young Master Sun, please ask the young master to go home quickly. If you have something to do, please discuss with him." Fang Wen said in a low voice.

"My uncle already knows, he is here to find his uncle." Zhao Shizhen whispered: "Come on board quickly."

~~

"Son, help me, dad is going to enter the palace..."

As soon as Mr. Zhao got on the carriage, he cried with his son: "Woooo, I said I shouldn't join your godmother again, right?"

"Don't be afraid or not." Zhao Hao hurriedly patted his father's back and comforted him: "It's not what his father thought."

"Ah, what's that?" Zhao Shouzheng was stunned.

"It was an earthquake the day before yesterday. It was used to make an article and contact my father's palace examination paper." Zhao Hao said gritting his teeth.
