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

Chapter 503
"Your Majesty's actions in recent years have become more and more difficult for people to see through. Some things are all up to one's own preferences. However, the Third Prince will not stay in the mansion for long. Just watch! He will come out in a few days, Concubine Xian has to wait. For the last few months, Wan Xuenian is her father after all."

The way of an emperor lies in balance, and now the second prince is proud of himself in the court, how can the emperor feel relieved?

Although Wan Xuenian and the others were blamed for the matter of the eldest prince, the important officials in the court knew what was going on in their hearts, and the emperor was also afraid that the courtiers would be dissatisfied, so it was necessary to be indifferent to the eldest prince for a period of time.

After Qin's staff left, Xia Qing thought about it, and still called Min Feng to give instructions.

Xia Qing stood in front of the window, looking at Min Feng who was walking towards the study.I just feel that I saw myself when I was a teenager. At that time, he was full of ambition and full of revenge.

After decades of official career, the original intention has long since changed.Although the power has already been poured into the government and the public, but people feel more and more lonely, as the saying goes, the heights are too cold, I am afraid that is the case!

The emperor is getting old, he has to plan for himself.Among those princes, except for the fourth prince, each has its own advantages.But the tempers of the princes alone made people a little dissatisfied.

The eldest prince is too scheming, he is ruthless, and he is too decisive in his actions. As long as his interests are violated, the eldest prince will never miss the old love.The second prince is too honest and honest to be imperial.

The third prince thinks he is a bit clever, but he is often misled by his cleverness.Not to mention the fourth prince, no matter what his real temperament is, his body is just a drag, and if he wants to be crowned a great treasure, unless all the princes are dead.Otherwise, the emperor would never pass the throne to him.

It is precisely because of this that the emperor can't make up his mind to establish a prince, right?

However, the fourth prince's ambition is not small.He met the fourth prince twice, and the fourth prince's scheming was not inferior to him at all, but it was a pity that he was affected by his body.

If you are in good health, even if you don't have a capable family, you can't sit on the throne.

"Student Min Feng has met Mr. Shoufu!" Min Feng didn't know what Xia Qing was looking for him for, and he was instinctively afraid of this Mr. Shoufu, who was so powerful.

He was just a poor student, and it was his luck to be valued by Xia Shoufu.

He was wrong before, thinking that if he voted for the family, he would be suppressed everywhere in the officialdom.Now that he has just invested in the Xia Mansion, the great benefits of Na Nuo are coming one after another.

Not to mention anything else, before he voted in the Xia Mansion, he was still living in the dormitory of the academy, and he was struggling with food and clothing.

He is just a juren, and every inch of land in the capital is expensive, and if he wants to live a comfortable life, he must have a lot of money.Now that he has moved out of the cell, he is living in the Xia Mansion, living a life of luxury and luxury.

No wonder the ancients often said: There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book.As long as you go far in the officialdom, why worry about not having these extraneous things?

Hearing this, Xia Qing regained consciousness from her own thoughts.

"Well! Are you still used to living in the mansion these days? Those servants didn't treat you slowly, did they?"

Min Feng raised his head and glanced at Xia Qing, and found that he was looking at him with a kind face at this time, and his heart was a little relieved.

Regarding Xia Qing's sudden call to come over, he was guessing in his heart, wondering what he might have done wrong recently.

"Go back to your lord! The people in the house are very well-behaved, and the students are used to living in it. It's just that the students often live in the lord's house, and I feel a little sorry for the trouble."

Being valued by Xia Qing, Min Feng felt a little flattered.And he has been suppressed by Gu Chengyu all the time, he really doesn't understand that Xia Qing didn't like Gu Chengyu, but took a fancy to him.

"It's good that you get used to living in the mansion. The old man appreciates your literary talents, so why would he find you bothering you? You can rest assured to live in the mansion."

Xia Qing was very satisfied with Min Feng's fearful appearance, even a talented student should show a humble side.

Xia Qing especially doesn't like those young talents who are self-righteous and arrogant. He thinks they are too frivolous and unstable.

The humility shown by Min Feng was exactly what he wanted. In fact, how did he know that Min Feng had been hit by Gu Chengyu for the past few days and hadn't recovered yet.

Besides, he certainly didn't dare to make mistakes in the face of the first-rank officials in the court.

"I heard that you went to Tianxiang Pavilion two days ago?"

When Min Feng heard this, he thought Xia Qing was dissatisfied with him.After all, visiting brothels is not an honorable thing. Although it is to participate in a cultural meeting, it is really indecent to say it there.

"The students heard that there is a literary club in Tianxiang Pavilion, so they happily went there."

"There is nothing wrong with young people going to the literary fair, but I heard that you lost to Gu Chengyu?"

Xia Qing was not surprised that Min Feng lost to Gu Chengyu.Originally, he knew that Min Feng was not as good as Gu Chengyu in literary talent, even in career, he couldn't compare.But these are often insignificant after entering the officialdom.

If you want to quickly gain a foothold in the officialdom and occupy a high position, you don't rely on your literary talent, but on your strategy and connections.Gu Chengyu is Liang Zhirui's disciple, but Liang Zhirui has already retired, and now he is the chief assistant.

As long as Min Feng is not the helpless Adou, he can push him to a high position.He had observed Min Feng before, except that he was a little competitive, he was also impeccable.

Min Feng's ears were a little red when he heard the words. His talent and learning were not as good as Gu Chengyu's, which had always been a thorn in his heart. Now that Xia Qing said it nakedly, he was even more ashamed.

"Students are not as good as others, what a shame!"

Xia Qing could hear the meaning of Min Feng's words without using Min Feng's expression.

"No, you shouldn't be ashamed. Temporary winning or losing is nothing, but if you lose for a lifetime, then you should be ashamed. You are still young, and the days to come are long! Who can guarantee that you will have the last laugh?"

Xia Qing picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, looked at Min Feng's slightly calm face, and continued: "Your vision is too narrow, you should take a long-term view. When you enter the court in the future, you will know that the previous ones are all It's gone."

Hearing these words, Min Feng also felt that he was overthinking things before.Didn't he keep telling himself that strife in court is the focus of his attention?What Xia Shoufu said was right, he was too narrow-minded.

"Thank you, sir, for your reminder. It's a student who made a picture."

Seeing that Min Feng looked away, Xia Qing nodded in satisfaction.The comprehension is still good, and I will keep him by my side in the future, and when my horizons broaden, I won't worry about this matter anymore.

"The old man is very optimistic about you, so I plan to accept you as a closed disciple, are you willing?"

Min Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he came back to his senses, overjoyed, he never thought that such a good thing would happen to him.

Although he took refuge in Xia Qing before, Xia Qing also regarded him highly.However, he has been living in the mansion for more than a month, and Xia Qing has never paid attention to him. He thought that Xia Qing just saw his literary talent and hope to become a Jinshi, so he wanted to take advantage of his downturn.
