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

Chapter 572 Compromise
When the emperor asked these words, Zhang Hai hesitated even more.

The emperor is very satisfied with this preface, if he attributes the credit to Xia Qing's lineage, how can he be reconciled in his heart?

Gu Chengyu is extremely talented, but he offended Xia Qing, and also hindered Xia Qing's young disciple from getting promoted.Xia Qing is cruel and merciless, so he might attack Gu Chengyu in the future.

Although Zhang Hai is upright, he is not pedantic.Because of Xia Qing's targeting, Gu Chengyu's official career in the future must be extremely bumpy.After today, he will give Gu Chengyu more compensation in the future, just to clear some obstacles for him.

This is what he owes Gu Chengyu, and he will repay it double in the future.After thinking about this, he no longer has any scruples.

"Reporting to the emperor, I heard from my subordinates that this was written by Min Feng, the new editor of the Imperial Academy. I feel that the preface is very detailed, and the officials of the six ministries and the chief assistant are also meaningless, so I dare to submit it to you." The emperor has a look."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Hai let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh? Min Feng? But Xia Shoufu's closed disciple?"

Hearing the name, the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.Of course, he had some impression of Tanhualang.Originally, his talent was higher than that of Fu Yanshan, who was second in the list, but in the end he was selected as a candidate.

It is also because of this that the cabinet has been very slack in doing things during this period of time, but he has nothing to do.

"Back to the emperor, it is this person! It is said that he can do it in one day by lighting up the lamp to fight at night."

Taking the first step, he thought about making compensation to Gu Chengyu in the future.Zhang Hai's subsequent words were logical and extremely natural.

Besides, he didn't say what he said to death, he only said that he heard what the officials said, even if the emperor knew the truth, he could also excuse that he heard it wrong.

He is a man of integrity, but he is also a politician.As for the twists and turns in the officialdom, he is not inferior to other cunning officials, it's just that he doesn't want to calculate like this on weekdays!

Knowing how to protect oneself is an essential skill in the officialdom, otherwise he would not be able to gain a firm foothold in the Imperial Academy.Xia Qing had long wanted to install officials from his own faction and take away his position as a bachelor.

If he hadn't been vigilant and tried his best to do things without leaving any clues, how could he still sit firmly in this seat?Regardless of the fact that the position of a scholar of the Imperial Academy is only a fifth rank, and he has no other positions concurrently, but the position of a scholar is a close minister of the emperor, with a lot of power, and there are many opportunities to be summoned by the emperor.

"Oh? According to what you said, then this person's talent is really amazing." The emperor looked at Zhang Hai carefully, and then put the booklet in his hand on the imperial case.Min Feng was Xia Qing's disciple, so suspicions arose in his heart.

Zhang Hai was startled when he heard the sound, he carefully looked up at the emperor, only to find that the emperor was squinting at him.Zhang Hai's heart trembled, could it be that the emperor has already seen the clue?Otherwise, why such an attitude?

"He has only been in the Imperial Academy for a few days, so I don't know how talented he is. If the emperor has no objection to this, then the Imperial Academy will take the prologue as the standard and start compiling the canon."

For some reason, although the emperor did not express his displeasure, he could feel it from the emperor's tone.He quickly stopped mentioning this matter, and directly talked about compiling the canon.What he should do has already been done, and the rest is Xia Shoufu's business.

"Oh? Since you said that he did it, then I'd like to call him here to give him a good compliment. Come on, go to the Imperial Academy and ask editor Min to come over!"

The emperor suddenly wanted to see Min Feng, but Zhang Hai was taken aback.I don't know if Xia Shoufu explained the purpose of the preface to Min Feng, if not, wouldn't it be an excuse to call him now?

Min Feng was standing opposite Xia Qing with a livid face. He clenched his hands into fists, looking at Xia Qing's eyes with unwillingness.

"Don't have any burdens in your heart. You must know that this is very common in the officialdom. This time is a good opportunity. If you want to become a servant, if you have no merits, it is not easy to talk to the emperor as a teacher." Xia Qing sat in Minfeng Opposite him, looking at Min Feng with a gloomy face, he could only persuade him patiently.

"But this is Gu Chengyu's work. How can I take the credit of others? If people find out, they will be disdainful." Min Feng was called over by Xia Qing just now, and he thought that the matter of his promotion had a clue, but it didn't happen. After hearing such news.

It is true that he is different from Gu Chengyu, but no matter whether he wins or loses, it depends on his own ability.Now that he has worshiped Xia Shoufu as his teacher, he already has a backer in the officialdom, and he is confident that he can go faster than Gu Chengyu.But as soon as the teacher told him about the prologue, he felt a little angry.

He is a scholar, and he has the nobility and pride of a literati in his bones.Such taking advantage of other people's merits made him very contemptuous.

When Xia Qing saw it, he knew that Min Feng was over the top.Min Feng had just entered the officialdom, and he didn't know the dangers of the officialdom, so he didn't blame Min Feng.After a few years, Min Feng will know that such things are common in officialdom.Being taken credit by others, without connections, who will stand up for you in the officialdom?

Encountered such a thing, is it not a dumb person or a coptis, unable to speak out?I can only admit that I am unlucky.

When he entered the officialdom at the beginning of the year, why wasn't he as proud and arrogant as Min Feng?But within a few years, he suffered enough.At that time, he did not have a high-ranking teacher as a backer, and was regarded as a stepping stone by others.

In the end, he realized that no arrogance or arrogance is as important as power.However, Min Feng was luckier than him, he worshiped him as his teacher, how many detours did he take less than before?But at the same time, Min Feng was also unlucky, at least he was valued by the emperor back then.

But now, before the emperor really puts his trust in him, he might look down on Min Feng.However, as long as he is one day, as Xia Qing's closed disciple, he will not treat this disciple badly.

"You are too young, and you are new to the officialdom. I don't know that such things are not uncommon. I would like to advise you, the arrogance of those scholars should be put away by the teacher. You think that when people find out about this, you will be embarrassed." Dull, but others don't see it that way."

Xia Qing took a sip of tea, saw the gloomy look on Min Feng's face recede a little, and continued: "As long as you can snatch credit from others, that is your ability. When you reach a high position, many You are a flatterer, who remembers your past?"

Even if I remember, I dare not say it in front of you.Xia Qing didn't bother to say the last sentence, that was all he said, if Min Feng still couldn't figure it out, then he didn't need to place high hopes on Min Feng.

What he wants is a good student who knows everything, is smart, knowledgeable and interesting.If he was stubborn and stubborn, he wouldn't be in the mood to break his temper with this apprentice.

Min Feng was still about to say something, but when he raised his eyes, Xia Qing's complexion also darkened.He knew that the teacher did this because of him, and if he didn't know how to flatter him, he was afraid that he would offend the teacher.Besides, this matter is a foregone conclusion, and he is powerless to undo it.

Only then did he forcefully smile, "Then follow what the teacher said! Thank you teacher for thinking about the students. It was the students who thought wrong before."
