Fu Song

Chapter 202 Where To Go
Mr. Cen is worthy of being a world-renowned counseling master and a famous exam-taker.

Under the control of Mr. Cen, the family studies of the Gao family have achieved great success.In the exam for raising people in May, more than half of the family's more than [-] students got the qualification to raise people. Apart from those underage boys, almost as long as they participated, they would be able to pass the exam.And during the Jinshi examination in September, among the Gao family studies, two of them were in high school.

One, of course, is Xiao Cheng, the seed of reading whose reputation has spread throughout Bianliang.

Mr. Cen is not only good at teaching, he is also good at reading people's hearts. At the beginning, he asserted that Xiao Cheng's ranking was between twenty and thirty. After the popularity list was posted, Xiao Cheng's ranking was impressively third. ten.

This made Master Cen a little disappointed.

Because of this ranking, Xiao Cheng basically missed the fate of Shujishi.

Unless Xiao Yu used his authority to operate.

For this reason, Mr. Cen had a good plot with Xiao Yu at the celebration reception.You know, although Master Cen is only a teacher who teaches, his network of connections is no worse than Xiao Yu's!
But after returning home, Xiao Cheng immediately stopped his father's planned operation.It is true that the ranking of the [-]th place is not hopeless to be selected as a good scholar, and it has appeared in the past.But his family knew about his own family affairs, Xiao Cheng felt that even if his ranking in the exam would not make it to the top, he would not be in the top [-], but he would have no problem getting into the top ten.

But now it is thirty.

This shows what?
It shows that someone is deliberately suppressing it.

Who decides the final ranking?
Of course it is the supreme being in the palace.

In other words, his current ranking was actually decided by the officials himself.He didn't want to become a good man so that he could stay in Bianliang.

In other words, he was going to be sent out.It's just that I don't know where I will be sent to be an official by this official.

Well, with the malice towards him that this official is showing now, it is definitely not a good place.

Maybe he will go to Hebei.

Now it is the most dangerous place in Song Dynasty.

The forces of the Song people and the Liao people were intertwined, and the big battle between the two sides was gone, entering a stage of stalemate, but the fighting between the small teams never stopped.Today's Hebei is the place where officials have the highest chance of dying in the line of duty.

Ma Xing once said that as long as he wins the exam, he will be sent to the Shaanxi Road appeasement office, and he will be given a position from the sixth rank. This position is indeed beyond the standard for a new scholar.

But I definitely can't go by myself.

The emperor will not agree.

He would not let his brothers meet in the northwest.

Of course, Ma Xing didn't feel at ease either.

First, he wanted to use his prestige among the party members and his ability to plan.Secondly, he is afraid that he also wants to control himself to threaten his brother who is leading the troops outside.

Xiao Cheng hoped that Ma Xing could have a good fight with the emperor. If he wins the fight, it would be a great thing for him.It's just that it is impossible for Ma Xing to compete with the emperor in this matter.

He was just trying, if it didn't work, that's all.

Xiao Cheng was too lazy to think about where he was going!
No matter where I go, I will not spend too much time, and will use my real achievements to walk back to Bianliang step by step.

Ten years at most.

This is a deadline that Xiao Cheng set for himself.In his opinion, there is absolutely no problem for the current emperor to live another ten years, and after ten years, it will be uncertain.If he hadn't returned to Bianliang at that time, it would be difficult for him to come back when all the dust settled.

Gao Gang, the second son of Gao Yu, the Duke of Baoguo, is the other candidate in the Gao family study. Although he is only ranked [-]th, and he is only a fellow Jinshi, he has already made Duke Baoguo ecstatic. .

This is the first Jinshi of the Gao clan in the past hundred years.

This also means that the Gao family can erect a flagpole in front of their own gate in a party-like manner.In the past, even if the Gao family was noble and superior, and could put a lion at the door, it was impossible to even think about erecting a flagpole.

This also means that his Gao family will not only be noble, but also a family of scholars with Jinshi in the future.

As for the ranking, it is not important at all to the Gao family.

For his nephew's pilot test, Xiao's in-law Gao Jian was also very happy from the bottom of his heart.Although he is the second wife, the benefit of the entire Gao family is self-evident if the big house has a Jinshi.

And now, he doesn't need to be jealous of his elder brother.

His eldest daughter married Xiao Ding, and now she is the wife of the fourth rank.The son-in-law is the marching chief of the West Conquest Army from the third rank, and he is only twenty-four years old. According to this rhythm, even if someone suppresses him, at the age of thirty, Xiao Ding will definitely be able to reach the position of Taiwei.

As for his eldest son, Gao Jin, he was not good at studying, but good at wielding a spear and stick. After he failed in the examination in May, he sent him to find his son-in-law Xiao Ding to take the road of military merit.With Xiao Ding taking care of him, there will be some achievements in the future.

The Xiao family and the Gao family became the most glamorous families in Bianliang City after this Jinshi examination.

They were originally high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and this time, they succeeded in changing the lintel.

Regardless of whether those noble families in the past still looked down on people like them, but as long as there are special figures like Jinshi in the family, they can only count them as one of their own no matter how unwilling they are.

And this is exactly what Xiao Yu has always wanted.

Xiao Cheng didn't care where he would be sent away by the officials. He was even more troubled now because he had won a Jinshi. The eldest lady had been talking about her marriage contract all this time, but suddenly the heat became even higher.

In the past, some noble families looked down on the Xiao family, but now that Xiao Cheng is a Jinshi, it is completely different, and the scope of Mrs. Han's choice has suddenly expanded a lot.

Now, except for Xiao Cheng's excuse to meet up with fellow students of the same year in the pilot test, the rest of the time is still dragged by Mrs. Han to participate in various appreciation parties.

This made Xiao Cheng miserable.

He even looked forward to being sent out by the officials earlier, so as to escape the embarrassing situation of being looked up and down like goods.

Xiao Cheng doesn't care where he goes, because he has full confidence in his talent and the power he holds in his hands. No matter where he goes, he can make achievements in a short period of time and shine brightly, so that no one can ignore him The presence.

But he may not know that the official Zhao Suo is quite distressed about his whereabouts in the palace.

"Ma Xing made a special note for this Xiao Chongwen." Li Guangdao: "The officials, it's hard to dismiss the face of appeasing the envoy all the way, let alone just wanting one person, it's better to let him go."

Zhao Suo shook his head. There are many things that Li Guang doesn't know, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know.Ma Xing couldn't control Hengshan Dangxiang at all, and it was the Xiao brothers who made Hengshan Dangxiang obedient, and more importantly, it was Xiao Cheng in front of him.If you let him go to Shaanxi Road, is that okay?
Xiao Ding is a brave general without much thought, but this Xiao Cheng is as cunning as a fox.

Xiao Cheng went to the Northwest, with one article and one military, one is good at planning, the other is good at fighting, maybe it will be a new Li Xu.

So the Northwest is absolutely impossible.

Staying on the Bianliang road, Zhao Suo had already cut off the Xiaocheng road.

Only Shu Jishi would stay in the capital and enter some noble places such as the Hanlin Academy to endure hardship. These people will be the pillars of the future empire.

Xiao Cheng absolutely can't do it.

It is the same reason that he cannot go to the northwest.

Zhao Suo still likes Xiao Ding very much.

In his heart, Xiao Ding is the kind of general who doesn't have many distracting thoughts and only wants to make contributions and protect his family and country.

He hoped that he could use Xiao Ding, and that his successor would continue to use Xiao Ding in the future.

One thing Zhao Suo is very clear about is that although the Great Song Dynasty suppressed martial arts and emphasized culture, it must have capable generals, otherwise how to deal with the Liao people?

If Xiao Ding is to be reused, then Xiao Cheng cannot be reused.

Since Xiao Ding was going to guard one side in the future, how could he give his brother a chance to become a ruling member?

With Xiao Cheng's current ability, if he stays in Bianliang, he will definitely have a place in the East and West in the future.

Zhao Suo recalled the scene during the palace examination, Xiao Cheng's practical ability was much stronger than his pen!His articles may be much worse than those of Yijia, but in terms of practice, he is much better than those people.

Those people still need too much tempering to be worthy of use.

Now, they are far from Xiao Cheng's opponents.

If Xiao Cheng were placed in the capital to compare with them, these people would be dimmed.

Xiao Cheng's ranking should at least be in the top ten. It was Zhao Suosheng who pushed him to the [-]th place. For this reason, he was slobbered by the chief examiner, Old Man Tang, who offered sacrifices to the Imperial Academy. How does this old guy know what his family is thinking? He just cherishes talents, and he not only wants to select talents, but also ensures the stability and inheritance of this empire.

But these thoughts cannot be uttered.

I understand, I will naturally understand.

If they don't understand, don't ask them to understand.

"Then how about going to Hebei?" Luo Song said with a smile: "Right now there is a huge shortage of officials in Hebei. Among this group of Scholars, [-]% go to Hebei to fill in the vacancies. Let them go to Hebei!"

"Not right!" Russell shook his head.

This chief assistant is no longer as powerful as before.For some reason, Luo Su even submitted his resignation but was rejected by the officials one by one, and finally had to stay in office, which made Luo Song very depressed for a while.Fortunately, although this one stayed on, he became a gourd with a saw-mouthed gourd. Basically, Luo Song was in charge of the political affairs hall.It seems that this person has made up his mind to hang around for a while before retiring and returning home.

"Jieshan, why is it wrong?" Luo Song was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Luo Su would hold objections on this matter.

Luo Song was entrusted by Xiao Yu.

Since he knew that his son must go out, going to Hebei Road was the best choice, because it was easy to make meritorious deeds there!Xiao Yu was the envoy of the Third Division, Luo Song was the official in charge of government affairs, and he was also an in-law of the Xiao family. When Xiao Cheng arrived in Hebei, Xia Jie must have taken good care of him.

"Fengchen, have you forgotten about Lin Ping's going to Beijing last year? The Xiao family has no idea what the entanglement with that Yelujun is. Now Yelujun is the enemy's coach. Xiao Cheng had better not go there. avoid!"

Hearing this reason, Luo Song turned his nose suddenly, what is this?Just as he was about to refute, Zhao Suo at the top had already spoken: "Luo Xianggong's words are reasonable."

Luo Song fell silent.

He glanced at Russell again, but there was some contempt in his eyes.

Now, he finally understands why the officials want to keep this person.When it comes to observing the thoughts of the officials, I am really not as good as the one in front of me.In the past, Luo Jieshan still relied on his status and was unwilling to cater to the officials in everything. The position of the chief assistant of the Eastern Mansion was still very stable.It's good now, after making a mistake, he becomes a quail, and he can only nod whatever the official wants to do.Where is the appearance of the head of the world's civil servants?

Probably what the officials want is such a chief assistant, right?Luo Song was a little angry.

"Not here, not anywhere? It's just a new scholar, but it makes no sense for us to sit here and waste time!" Since it didn't make sense, Luo Song was about to flip the table.It might be a good thing for Xiao Cheng to make a fuss about this matter.

It seems that the officials have bad intentions towards Xiao Cheng!
If you can help me, of course I will help you.

"When Xiao Cheng was in the northwest, he fully demonstrated his ability to deal with those barbarians in Jisuo Prefecture!" Zhao Suo saw through Luo Song's attack at a glance, and just as Luo Song wanted to lift the table, he pushed it down.

Northwest is not good, and Hebei is naturally not good either.Zhao Suo had already made up his mind to suppress Xiao Cheng, so how could he let him go to Hebei?Although there are dangers everywhere, it is also the easiest place to make meritorious deeds.The Xiao family, together with the Luo family, and the background of King Jing in Hebei, and Xiao Ding's foundation in Hebei, Xiao Cheng really wants to go to Hebei, even if he wants to, he will not be able to hold back.

When the official spoke, Luo Song, who had already stood up, had no choice but to sit down again.

"Many Jisuo prefectures in the south have always been disobedient to the king, and there are many acts of rebellion. Half a decade ago, there was another urgent report from Kuizhou Road, and several Jisuo prefectures there raised their flags to rebel." Zhao Suo said: "This Xiao Cheng has expertise in this area, so let him go to Kuizhou Road, and go to Qianzhou to work!"

Several people in the room were stunned.

Even Russell did not expect the officials to be so decisive.This was directly throwing Xiao Cheng into the crowd of savages, Luo Su's eyes flickered, and he thought that the enmity between himself and the Xiao family would become so severe that it could no longer be resolved.

"Officials, Xiao Yu is the chancellor of wealth, and he has made great achievements. Xiao Ding is still fighting the rebellion for the country. Isn't it appropriate to make such an arrangement?" Chen Gui of the Privy Council shook his head again and again.

"Let people do their best!" Zhao Suo snorted coldly: "If Xiao Cheng is not willing to go, I will not force him, he can resign and not do it! Go to Qianzhou to serve as a general judge, and he is a sixth-rank post. Do you feel wronged? This is the highest grade of Jinshi in this year."

It seemed that the officials had made up their minds, and everyone in the room fell silent.

Although I know it's wrong, but it's not worth it for Xiao Cheng to confront the officials head-on. Whether it's Luo Song or Old Rules, I feel that my performance today is enough to explain to Xiao Yu.

But this matter is clearly out of their control.
