In the two thousand-year feudal history of our country, the rulers used various methods to select officials, such as the imperial examination system, the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, , and the imperial examination system. Especially the imperial examination system was far more difficult than today's college entrance examination.

So in the feudal era, if a student wanted to get ahead, it would take a lot of effort. He studied hard for ten years, passed five levels and killed six generals. After he was lucky enough to win the Jinshi, he had to start from a small official in various places. , I didn’t know that it would only take the Year of the Monkey to come into contact with the official center of power. It simply made the listeners sad and the listeners shed tears.

But there was such a lucky magistrate in history. He just mentioned his father when reporting his duties to the emperor, and the emperor instantly changed his face, valued him greatly, and even promised to pay him on the spot. Reuse his , this person is Xie Xingyao.

Young Jinshi

Xie Xingyao was born in Changsha, Hunan. He was born in a wealthy official family. His father once Xie Zhending served as the censor during the Qianlong period. He attached great importance to the education of his children. As soon as Xie Xingyao was born, he made plans for him. The future direction is clear: pass the imperial examination and become an official!

If a life plan like this meets an idiot, it will be hell on earth. Fortunately, Xie Xingyao is talented and very smart. He has been called a child prodigy since he was a child. . Under the devilish teachings of his father, he has no discomfort. Instead, he actively cooperated with his father to study everywhere, and soon accumulated a lot of ink.

After Xie Zhending felt that his son's level was enough, he immediately sent him to the imperial examination room. Xie Xingyao lived up to his expectations and passed five levels and killed six generals. From a boy student to a scholar to a scholar, he was called a Fengsheng. Shuiqi became an honorable Jinshi when he was in his twenties, and got his ticket to the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty.

You must know that the imperial examination difficulty level at that time was simply devilish. Compared with him, the current college entrance examination is child's play. After all, the college entrance examination selects talents, while the imperial examination selects geniuses from talents across the country. Xie Xingyao is only in his twenties. Just being able to pass the Jinshi exam is like killing most of these geniuses in an instant, okay?

After Xie Xingyao passed the Jinshi examination, he was awarded the official position of a concubine in the Hanlin Academy by the emperor. Don't underestimate this official position. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "if you are not a Jinshi, you will not enter the Hanlin, and if you are not an Hanlin, you will not enter the cabinet." He served as Obtaining this official position is a stepping stone to promotion in the future. Such a life is really as satisfying as a successful career.

Although Xie Xingyao achieved success at a young age, he was very humble and not as crazy as some young geniuses. Such good character gave him a very good reputation among the Jinshi scholars in the same year.

His tutor also had a good impression of him, and these favorable impressions soon gave him an opportunity to flex his muscles - the magistrate of Baofeng County.

Outstanding political achievements

After taking office, Xie Xingyao fully fulfilled the responsibilities of a parent official. During his tenure, he built water conservancy projects, encouraged farming and mulberry farming, and showed great concern for the people under his rule, which raised the economic level of Baofeng County. Mr. , the people were so grateful to him that they wished they could shout "Master Qingtian" every day.

can be so loved by the people. Naturally, Xie Xingyao is not just a fake person who only talks but does not practice. He is very knowledgeable and has in-depth research on the people's livelihood. After conducting on-site inspections, he has introduced various methods for the people. Some advanced agricultural technologies have brought their harvests to a higher level.

At the same time, Xie Xingyao also organized manpower to rebuild the water conservancy project in Baofeng County. The terrain of Baofeng County is not good, and droughts or waterlogging often occur. The former county magistrate did not attach great importance to this aspect, so that Baofeng County often experienced production cuts due to lack of water conservancy.

After learning about this problem, Xie Xingyao personally led people to measure the land and reconstructed almost all water conservancy projects in Baofeng County. What's even more rare is that Xie Xingyao is not like other high-ranking officials who only give orders based on their own imagination. He is a practical official who can truly "go among the people" . When

was building Baofeng County, he often went deep into the people, ate and lived with the people, learned about their real living conditions, and made changes to his plans accordingly.

It is precisely because of this that Xie Xingyao was able to manage Baofeng County in an orderly manner and show a prosperous scene just three years after taking office.

Such outstanding political achievements will naturally not be ignored. Xie Xingyao was quickly praised by the court for his good governance. The court also specially ordered him to go back and report on his work so as to decide his future destination.

Meng Fu Yu Yin

After receiving the decree, Xie Xingyao immediately packed up and rushed back to the capital without stopping. Because his political achievements were so dazzling, the person responsible for interviewing him was the top figure in the Qing ruling class - Emperor Jiaqing .

During the interview process, Xie Xingyao responded fluently to Emperor Jiaqing's questions about people's livelihood. He was like a man who could speak a thousand words on a horse and speak in one go. Even the cunning Emperor Jiaqing could not find any flaws and praised him greatly.

When the two were communicating, Emperor Jiaqing inadvertently asked Xie Xingyao about his place of origin. After Xie Xingyao had just told him about his father, Emperor Jiaqing suddenly stood up, patted him on the shoulder and said: " It is true that the father of a tiger has no son." , I must reuse you ! "

It turns out that in the late Qianlong period, the famous corrupt officials and Shen were so powerful that they were so arrogant that no one except Emperor Qianlong took them seriously. The masters were so arrogant, and the servants were so arrogant. He is even more capable of fighting against the power of others.

They ate and asked for cards everywhere, and even the proud ones would ride on Heshen's carriages, causing people on the street to pay their respects as if they were meeting the prime minister. Such arrogant behavior naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many Qingliu officials in the DPRK. Xie Xingyao's father, Xie Zhending, was one of these people.

Once when he was walking on the street, he happened to witness the Heshen family's servants disturbing the people, which made him lose his temper immediately. Xie Zhending stopped the servant's car on the spot and scolded him to get out of the car quickly.

When the servant came in, he was a royal censor. He also knew that he had encountered a difficult situation today, so he acted as a low-key to calm down the trouble, and even used the name of his master He Shen.

But Xie Zhending did not accept this trick. He had the frame smashed and even said: "With a frame like that has been tarnished by villains, Master He will not ride on again." Xie Zhending's behavior made He Shen furious. After all, beating a dog depends on the owner. Xie Zhending was obviously not giving him face.

Heshen sent his officials to read Xie Zhending's book and told him to go home and farm directly. Although Xie Zhending was dismissed from office, his noble behavior of not fearing the powerful was appreciated and praised by many people.

Among these people was Emperor Jiaqing, who was under the control of his father, Emperor Qianlong. He Shen, who was living a more comfortable life than him, was also full of resentment. Xie Zhending's words undoubtedly gave him a bad breath .

That's why he was so excited when he met Xie Zhending's outstanding son, Xie Xingyao, and even made a promise to reuse him on the spot.

Xie Zhending resolutely performed his duties as an official when he encountered injustice on the road, even if he lost his official position for it. It was such a noble behavior that earned him the praise of Emperor Jiaqing, and for his son Xie Xingyao A beautiful official career has been paved. This is just a drink and a peck. Is it a predetermined decision?
