The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1003 Flattery
The breach of the embankment has a lot to do with it. According to the emperor's current state of mind, Qian Huichun will probably die, and his family will also be involved.

For the sake of the surviving eldest son, Qian Huichun has to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, begging the emperor to spare the life of the eldest son, right?

On the other side, Chen Zhao, who finally stepped out of the mountain, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and tightened his arms.Looking at the road ahead, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Zhao's body was covered with mud and water at the moment, and he could only vaguely see that the clothes on his body were originally a white tunic.

Chen Zhao pursed his dry lips, looked around, and found an open farmland in front of him.

This is the other side of the mountain, which is completely different from Changtian Mansion, there is no money for the flood at all, Chen Zhao felt a little sad.

The scene in front of me is peaceful, and people can be seen working in the fields in the distance.

The flood took the lives of the fathers and villagers, and even the magistrate committed suicide and apologized because of this incident, and he didn't know what happened to his family.

His heart was both sad and uneasy, not knowing what was waiting for him ahead.

He took two steps and looked up at the sky. It wasn't raining at this time, and the sky was gray.Through the clouds, he saw a ray of dawn.

At this moment, Chen Zhao couldn't help showing a glimmer of hope in his heart. As long as he was alive, what obstacles could he not overcome?

He took a deep breath and continued to move forward.He hadn't eaten or drank in the past two days, so he could only pick up some wild mushrooms and wild vegetables on the mountain to satisfy his hunger.

If it wasn't for his skill, he would have been buried in the belly of the beast long ago.

Hungry in his belly, his tongue was sticking out and his lips were scorching, Chen Zhao took a look at the distance from the nearest village, and found that it was not far away.

He decided to go to the village first to get some food and water, and asked the village carriage to take him to the government office of Yingnan Prefecture.

After walking a few steps, suddenly, he saw a bullock cart approaching him in front of him, and his eyes lit up.

"Haha! My nephew is young and promising, and now he is a servant of the Imperial Academy. I really admire him!"

Li Taihang, the magistrate of Yingnan Prefecture, laughed loudly, raised his wine glass, and drank with Min Feng.

"Where? Master Li praised it absurdly. It's really nothing to be an official." Although Min Feng was a little complacent, he couldn't show it.

Li Taihang narrowed his eyes slightly, and then complimented: "Nephew, don't be so humble. Since you entered the officialdom, you have not been here for three years. You have been promoted two levels in a row. This is the envy of others! It is those same years of yours, now They are still on the seventh grade!"

Li Taixing flattered for a while, but he was muttering in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Shoufu, who is powerful in the government and the public, is your teacher, with your Min Feng's ability, you can be promoted two levels in a row?
The imperial court takes an imperial examination once every three years to select an official, and there are a lot of talents in all major states, and it is not that there are people with both ability and political integrity.

But why are these people oblivious to the crowd and fail to shine in their positions?Of course there are no contacts!
If it is said that the imperial examination is a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops and horses, then entering the officialdom is a battle between dragons and tigers. If you are not careful, you will be doomed.

Of course, those who are underappreciated and fail to succeed after repeated trials are not even qualified to talk about these things.

Min Feng was born in a peasant family, his family was poor, and he had no foundation in the court.To be valued by Xia Qing and accepted as a closed disciple, this is really a blessing for three lives.

In fact, Li Taihang was very envious in his heart, if he could rely on Xia Shoufu, then his promotion would be just around the corner!

Back then, he took refuge in King Jing, but because he failed to complete the errand for King Jing, King Jing was very dissatisfied with him.

Not only did the last errand not go well, it also made King Jing lose face a lot.

Since then, Prince Jing has been perfunctory towards him, and he doesn't want to plan for him anymore.

Besides, now that Prince Jing has gone to the fief Fengqing Mansion, they will lose contact even more.

It had been two years since he had exchanged letters with officials of King Jing's lineage, and the other party seemed to forget his name.

But next year will be another three years, he wants to move his butt, he doesn't want to stay in Yingnan Mansion anymore.It would be great if he could go to the capital.

Hu Maoshen, who participated in the examination together, was in the same year as him!
But now he is already an official of the second rank, and he is still in the fourth rank, so how can Li Taihang be reconciled?

He believes that he is not lacking in ability, but that he is short of opportunities!

Later, it wasn't that he never thought about making friends with Hu Maoshen and letting him pave the way for him.But when he saw Hu Maoshen, he couldn't speak.

Now that Min Feng is here, isn't this a good time for him to curry favor with Xia Shoufu?As long as he wins over Min Feng, is he afraid that the other party won't give him a few good words in front of Xia Shoufu?

Speaking of the same year, the smile on Min Feng's face froze.same year?There are many of him in the same age, and Gu Chengyu is naturally included among them.

It is indeed a good thing that he has been promoted two levels in a row in less than three years, but compared with Gu Chengyu who is already at the fifth rank, what is it?
Thinking of this, Min Feng felt a little uncomfortable.There was a smile on his face again, but he was already extremely dissatisfied with this ignorant Li Taixing in his heart.

Li Taihang, who was sitting first, looked at the flash of embarrassment on Min Feng's face, and couldn't help but secretly despise him.

Knowing that the other party is thinking of Gu Chengyu who is in full swing in the court, he can't help but feel that the other party is too jealous.However, this is also his purpose.

"What Master Li said is right. Min Shidu is already a sixth-rank official at such a young age, and he will surely be able to rise to the top in the future."

Following Min Feng to stay and inspect the river embankment, there were also two Lang Zhong and others from the Ministry of Industry, and it was Lang Zhong Rui Shiliang who spoke just now.

As soon as he opened his mouth, other officials also echoed, saying that Min Feng was young and promising, and he would be able to shine in the court in the future.

Min Feng suddenly got the approval of so many officials, so he naturally felt a little elated.

"Your lords are really too well-known. Gu Shaoqing, who is now famous in the court, is a celebrity around the emperor. He has been promoted from the fifth rank within three years, and he should be a role model for my generation! Compared with him, the lower officials are worse. far away!"

Although Min Feng looked down on Gu Chengyu extremely, but to be honest, he still had to admire the other party's ability,
It's not that he doesn't know that his promotion depends on his teacher. If there is no teacher's management, he is still in the sixth rank now!
What does Gu Chengyu have?Except for the holy family, can the connections in the court compare to him?

Even though Gu Chengyu has three senior brothers, only one of them is more outstanding, that is the senior brother Yin Kun.

But Yin Kun's ability to become a third grade was due to the help of his teacher back then, and his own ability was actually somewhat lacking.

After Liang Zhirui became an official, after so many years, it was difficult for Yin Kun to advance to a higher level.

As for the second senior brother, don't even think about it, he is still only a fourth-rank up to now!Do you still expect him to pull Gu Chengyu?

The last third senior brother, He Jisheng, has heard some news, and it seems that his relationship with Gu Chengyu is not harmonious.

He has no foundation in the court, and he can be promoted to a fifth-rank official position within three years, isn't it just because of the emperor's attention?
