Shaohua is Junqing

Chapter 143

Yonghui Garden, the young master's room.

"I really didn't expect you to encounter such a thing. Xiaoyu was injured. Fortunately, it's nothing serious, otherwise I would be worried!"

"Master, don't worry. It's all resolved."

"Xiaoyu's way of handling things is also peculiar."

"She has a kind heart and doesn't want to commit more crimes. This not only punishes the person who made the mistake, but also accumulates good karma for herself. It's the best of both worlds."

"That's great. Just do as she wishes. However, Yin Jiafu is guilty, and Yin Qianlan is to blame. There is no problem in transferring him back to Beijing, but it is unlikely that he will be reinstated all at once. We still have to see how well he performs and then slowly promote him up. Explain it clearly to Xiaoyu when you go back."

"Yes, I will explain it to her clearly."

"Also, I've thought about the return trip you mentioned. Although we didn't go far, we encountered a lot of things. In addition, there are memorials sent from the capital, and I need the emperor's approval. This will take several days to go back and forth, which is indeed a bit troublesome. It will take us about a month to go back. So the time for this tour is almost enough. Let's stop here. We can go a little further if we have the opportunity to tour next time."

"Okay, I'll go make arrangements for the return trip."

Everything went smoothly on the way back and any problems we encountered were quickly resolved.

"I'm finally home. Although I enjoyed this trip, I'm also really tired."

"I'll have someone prepare some hot water. After you take a bath, go and rest. We'll have dinner together in the evening."

"Okay, let's go to the gourmet restaurant tonight."

The next day, Qingfang Garden.

"Sister Princess, you are finally back. I missed you so much."

"Sister Mingyue, I miss you too. How are you? Are you doing well these days?"

"I'm fine, I just feel a little bored without my sister around."

"I'm back now, what do you want to play?"

"Sister, did you encounter any interesting things on your long journey this time? Tell me about it."

"You want to hear a story? No problem."

"We arrived first..."

In the Imperial Palace, Baohe Hall, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Personnel, and the President of the Hanlin Academy stood in the center of the hall.

"I have invited you all here today to discuss the matters concerning the Autumn Examination."

"According to the time calculation, it is indeed the time for the Autumn Examination." said the Minister of Rites.

"The purpose of the imperial examination is to select talents to serve the court and benefit the people. Only by selecting good officials can good things be done."

"Your Majesty is right," said the Minister of Personnel.

"I went on a tour incognito a few days ago, and encountered many corrupt officials and bullies along the way. Although I took the opportunity to punish them, they were all small-scale. Who knows, there may be more serious ones in places I can't see."

"I will definitely work with the senior officials from various ministries and agencies to strengthen supervision over the personnel below." said the Minister of Personnel.

"If useful talents can be selected through the imperial examination, the country will be stable."

"What the Emperor said is absolutely true."

"There are rules and regulations for the annual autumn examinations. My dear ministers, please go back and discuss and draft a specific implementation process for us."

"The ministers obey the order."

"Once it is confirmed, we will issue the documents as soon as possible so that all places can start the selection process. We will not delay the next year's spring exam."

"Yes, I will take my leave."

The officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel were indeed veterans who had been immersed in officialdom for many years. It took them only two days to work out an implementation procedure for the Autumn Examination. After the Emperor reviewed and approved it, he issued documents to local government offices, ordering the organization of the provincial examinations and submitting the final list to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel within fifteen days.

At the same time, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel also organized examinations for students in the capital, and the top 20 could participate in the spring examination the following year.
