In ancient times, the most basic way for commoners to become officials was to pass the imperial examination, but the number of people who could make great achievements after being admitted was still limited, unless you were particularly talented, discovered by the emperor, or recommended by nobles, so that you could go further in the court. Today I want to introduce an official who thought that the Qing Dynasty was just a small county order at that time, and one day the emperor asked this county order: Who is your father? After the county order said his father's name, the emperor actually let him rise three levels in a row.
This person is Xie Xingyao, his father was also an official before, his background is also good, and later he was admitted to the Jinshi with his own talent, although not a champion, but this result is also good. After that, he did not stay in the capital, went to a small place as a county commander, his father was a clean and honest official, he was also like his father, so he was very popular with the local people. After that, he was discovered by others and recommended to the emperor, and if he was favored by the emperor, it would be a smooth step.
At that time, the process of promotion was to first take a written test, and then meet the emperor, Xie Xingyao quickly passed the written test, when he saw the emperor, he was not humble, and his thinking to answer the emperor's questions was also very agile. The Jiaqing Emperor was also satisfied with his appearance, so he asked him who his father was, and he told the emperor that his father was Xie Zhending. The emperor was very happy to hear this name, and at once let him rise three levels in a row. Everyone may wonder, who is Xie Zhending, who let the emperor hear the name and promote his son?
He Yan was a person who believed that everyone was no stranger, and at that time, the father and emperor of the Jiaqing Emperor were very fond of He Yan. The people around He yan are also rising in the water, who sees it will have to make a fuss, once he and Yan's house slaves are fighting outside to bully people, Xie Zhending saw it and hugged unevenly, and taught He Yan's house slaves a harsh lesson. After He Yan learned of this incident, he felt that he had no face, so he secretly demoted Xie Zhending back to his hometown. At that time, the Jiaqing Emperor did not have so much power to support Xie Zhending, and the matter was finally over.
Later, after the Jiaqing Emperor ascended the throne, he thought of quickly letting Xie Zhending return to the imperial court, but Xie Zhending died within a few years of his return. Therefore, this time, when the Jiaqing Emperor heard that Xie Xingyao was Xie Zhending's son, he was very happy, and felt that he did not look at the wrong person, and the tiger father had no dogs, so he was very relieved to hand it to Xie Xingyao and promote him.
