Zhao Tao argued: "The selection of scholars by the imperial court is based on virtue and talent. What does it have to do with native place, age, and background?"
Yan Luan said with a smile: "The Second Highness is right, but a clearer understanding can make the most of people's talents. For example, the native place, the Second Highness knows that fellow villagers are the easiest to form cronies, so the native place must be clearly marked." The master said: "Didn't you tell His Highness the Second Highness to write all these clearly?"
Master Zhang said: "It's my negligence. I originally wanted to wait for the Second Highness to finish sorting it out, and then I will correct it and submit it to my lord."
Yan Luan said: "You can just treat His Highness the Second Highness as a newcomer to the official department." He flipped through the book again and said: "This efficiency is too low, there are only a few of them in three days. Lao Zhang, you accompany the second Your Highness completes all the information."
Although Zhao Tao was reluctant, he still followed Mr. Zhang back to the Mr. Zhang's room.
In the evening, Yan Luan went to see Zhao Tao's progress, only to see that Mr. Zhang was working alone, and Zhao Tao was sitting there drinking tea while eating snacks.
Yan Luan said: "Old Zhang, why don't you let the Second Highness do it yourself?"
Director Zhang hurriedly got up and saluted Yan Luan: "My lord, this is a humble job. His Highness is not used to doing such trivial things..."
Yan Luan said: "Let the Second Highness do the rest, and I will accompany the Second Highness here."
Zhao Tao said a little angrily: "The information given by the Ministry of Rites is incomplete, what should I do?"
Yan Luan said: "Then go to the Ministry of Rites and ask. If there is no more, then go to the Imperial College or the guild halls in various provinces to ask."
Zhao Tao said: "It's already this hour today, I'll do it tomorrow."
Yan Luan said: "Second Highness should know the reason why today's affairs are completed today. Besides, I saw that these missing materials should be scattered in the official documents given by the Ministry of Rites. You can sort them out carefully. I will accompany Second Highness today. Let's go after tidying up."
Zhao Tao had no choice but to bite the bullet and pick up the notebook to check it with the official documents given by the Ministry of Rites.
Cao Xiaochuan came at this time, greeted Zhao Tao and Yan Luan, and said to Yan Luan with a smile: "Master Yan, the emperor has been waiting for you for dinner, you can go there quickly."
Yan Luan said: "I haven't finished processing some official documents, you go back and tell the emperor that I won't go to the Qing Palace today."
Cao Xiaochuan looked at Zhao Tao, understood a little bit, then smiled at Yan Luan: "I dare not answer my lord's words, or I will serve the second highness here, and lord Yan can go and have dinner with the emperor."
Yan Luan also knew that it would be difficult for Cao Xiaochuan to deal with business when he went back, so he could only say: "That's fine."
After Yan Luan had dinner with Zhao Ying, she hurried back to the Ministry of Officials.Zhao Ying said: "I really don't know why you are wasting your energy on these little bastards?" Then they came to the Ministry of Officials together.
Because it was night, there were few people on duty, and Zhao Ying didn't ask anyone to report, so he and Yan Luan walked in directly.As a result, I heard Zhao Tao's angry voice from a long distance: "Cao Xiaochuan, you are just a dog slave, and you are bullying me like this by relying on Yan Luan's power. I will send you to Dali Temple today to punish your evil slave and bully the master." crime."
Cao Xiaochuan said with a smile: "The Second Highness said that the slave is a dog, and the slave is a dog. But the slave is the emperor's dog. If the Second Highness wants to punish the slave, he must report it to the emperor."
Zhao Ying pushed the door open and entered the valet's room. Several people in the valet's room were quite surprised and hurriedly knelt down to salute.Zhao Ying said to Zhao Tao: "A worthless thing, such a simple job can't be done well, and you still have the face to yell here. As a prince who doesn't even understand the most basic etiquette, Lord Yan's name is you Should it be called?"
Zhao Tao didn't dare to speak, just knelt there trembling slightly.
Zhao Ying said to Yan Luan again: "If you still don't believe me when I say you wasted your time, let's go and return to Qianqing Palace with me."
Yan Luan said: "Your Majesty, let's go back first. I haven't finished processing some official documents, so I have to stay in the duty room tonight."
Zhao Ying glanced at Yan Luan and went back to Qianqing Palace by herself.
Yan Luan helped Zhao Tao, saw the tears on his face, took out his handkerchief, handed it to Zhao Tao, and said, "Your Highness, wipe your tears first. Actually, those are not difficult to do, I will do it with His Highness OK?"
Zhao Tao said angrily: "I won't do it, anyway, my father doesn't like me all the time, everything I do is in vain."
Yan Luan said: "Second Highness, there is no parent in this world who doesn't like their children. The emperor's love for Second Highness is nothing more than a deep love and responsibility."
Zhao Tao bowed his head and said, "Really, Lord Yan? You know the father's heart best."
Yan Luan said: "Of course. The emperor told me that day that among the three princes, His Highness Second Highness's poems are the best."
Zhao Tao smiled bitterly and said, "Father has not read my poems for a long time. Master Yan, why do you have to ask me to do these trivial things?"
Yan Luan said: "Second Highness, if you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world? These seem trivial things, but it takes a lot of effort to do them well. I did these things when I first came to the Ministry of Officials. Come, I will accompany Second Highness Do together."
It was already the third watch before finishing a book.Yan Luan said to Zhao Tao: "Second Highness, go back to the palace to rest, come back tomorrow afternoon."
Zhao Tao said: "Master Yan, won't you go back to Qianqing Palace? We happen to be traveling together."
Yan Luan said with a little embarrassment: "How can I bother the emperor at this hour? I'm just on duty for a while, and the left and right are about to go up."
Zhao Tao said: "If Master Yan doesn't dislike it, you can go to my Chonghua Palace to rest for a while."
Yan Luan smiled and said: "That's even worse. I, a foreigner, can trespass into the forbidden area of the harem. Second Highness, don't bother with me, go back and rest."
On the second day, Yan Luan returned to the Ministry of Officials after retiring from the court, and Zhao Tao was already working there.
A few days later, Zhao Wei won the top three No. 60 seven.Zhao Wei said to Yan Luan with embarrassment: "I don't live up to it, and my husband's hard work was wasted."
Yan Luan said with a smile: "Team Jinshi is also very good. Now there are several important officials in the six ministries and five temples, all of whom are from the same Jinshi."
After waiting for less than ten days, Zhao Wei received a notice from the Ministry of Officials and obtained the official post of Wanping County Magistrate.Yan Luan returns home at night, and as usual, goes to Zhao Wei's courtyard to see Zhao Wei's son, Zhao Mo.While teasing Zhao Mo with a rattle, Yan Luan said to Zhao Wei: "Wei'er, you are not unhappy that I didn't arrange you in any department."
Zhao Wei smiled and said, "It's too late for me to thank you, sir. I know that my husband is afraid that I will be embarrassed by those dignitaries."
Yan Luan said: "Actually, even if you become the county magistrate, you still have many opportunities to meet your old friends. Are you afraid?"
Zhao Wei said: "With Mister here, I'm not afraid."
Yan Luan smiled and said, "Good boy."
On this day, Zhao Tao was in the Ministry of Officials following Mr. Zhang to classify the official documents reported to the Ministry of Officials from various places, when he suddenly saw Zhao Wei going to the Ministry of Officials to handle affairs.Hurrying up to meet him, he said with a smile, "Brother, congratulations."
Zhao Wei smiled and said, "It's just a seventh-rank county magistrate, what's there to congratulate?"
Zhao Tao said: "The county magistrate of the seventh grade is also passed the examination by the eldest brother." He said in a low voice: "Being a county magistrate is much more fun than me sorting documents every day."
