Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 305 Cen Changqian's Choice
The piece of paper on the table is an official document issued by the Ministry of Military Affairs to the Ministry of War. The issuer is Cen Wenwen, the minister of Zhongshu, and the young man in front of him is Cen Changqian, the son of his deceased brother. It is no wonder that he has always been cautious in recommending people. The old fox opened the door of convenience for him.

"Brother Cen is the nephew of Zhongshu Shilang. It's really disrespectful. He is the captain of Guoyi, the sixth rank. This official is not small. Even if the students below pass the examination, they are also eighth or ninth rank, even if they are top three. It's just based on the seventh rank, so from this point of view, there is really no need to compete with them."

Li Chengqian's words touched Cen Changqian's sensitive nerves. If he hadn't drank a lot of wine, the blushing expression on this kid's face would be very obvious.He insists that his literary talent and martial arts are not far behind others, but he has become an official through the back door like those plump children, which makes him feel very shameful.

But what uncle said is not unreasonable. Being an official in the court is not judged by your ability, but by your family background and interpersonal relationship. Without these two things, no matter what you do, you will be a hypocrite in the eyes of others , False lofty Bale.

Hey, after a long sigh, Cen Changqian looked at the students outside the window and murmured: "Maybe in ten or twenty years, I will be like those people, right?"

Cen Changqian's loss is hypocritical in Changsun Wuji's eyes. What's the matter, your uncle Cen Wenwen is the servant of Zhongshu, and he also holds the title of leader of the gentry. No one can lose you, your own nephew. What are you pretending to be?They all said that the rabbit's tail followed. This kid is not very old, and this hypocritical city man has learned a lot from that old fox.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that his uncle had a bad face. His uncle was aggressive just now, but after knowing his relationship with Cen Wenwen, he became less positive.That's right, they are intriguing every day in the Hongwen Palace, and now they see the Cen family's children mocking the scholars with their official hats on, of course they don't have a good face.

"Brother Guan Cen's conduct is quite different from those who have entered the officialdom. Coupled with the insight of brother just now, it would be a pity if he didn't show his talent in the examination room." After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian picked up the flagon I got myself a glass, and while sipping fine wine, I looked at the nephew of this political opponent.

Li Chengqian's words made Cen Changqian's eyes flash with light, but it was only a flash. His official status has been settled, and he is not qualified to take this exam again.

So, pointing to the paperwork on the table with a look of disappointment on his face, he replied: "It's a done deal, what can I do!" He originally wanted to be a serious official, not to be regarded as an official no matter where he went. From the perspective of the second generation ancestor, the reality is always cruel, and it is useless to say these things now.

"Hey, it depends on people's salary. If you don't talk about it, there are always some shortcuts in the officialdom. This time, the chief examiner Chu Suiliang has a relationship with the younger brother. The matter of the identity document is a trivial matter. Why don't you let the younger brother help you once?"

Looking at Li Chengqian's smiling face, Cen Changqian couldn't help but re-evaluate the person in front of him, why should someone who is not relatives or relatives help her.Besides, who is Chu Suiliang, the minister of the emperor's hidden residence, holding the handle of talent, how can he easily listen to him.

With a mind full of questions, Cen Changqian couldn't help asking: "Who are you? How can you be so helpless?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is whether I can help Brother Cen, what matters is whether Brother Cen wants to prove your ability to Uncle Ling and the world, not a boastful Ma Su!"

Li Chengqian's words were so convincing that people couldn't help but believe it. Cen Changqian was pacing and thinking quickly about the pros and cons.Li Chengqian said that there is a fatal temptation for him, but doing so is going against his uncle's intention.

"A gentleman does something, and he doesn't do something. My brother travels thousands of miles to visit the people. Is it because of ignorance and filial piety that he forgets the righteousness of the world?"

The righteousness of the world?Yes, if I just ignore the people who are being tortured by cruel officials because of my poor reputation, then what is the difference from these people?

When thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and then said in the foreword: "Okay, tell me about your conditions, if someone from Cen can afford it, then I will do as you say!!!"

"What are the conditions? It's fate to meet Brother Cen today. Just ask for a glass of water and wine when Brother Cen is named on the gold list. How about it? This is not too much to ask for!"

Li Chengqian's condition was not a condition at all, Cen Changqian couldn't help digging his ears, for fear that he heard it wrong.Once again, Cen Changqian straightened her messy robes and gave Li Chengqian a peer salute: "Nanyang Cen Changqian, thank you for your kindness, little brother. Today's kindness will never be forgotten in this lifetime."

"Hey, brother Cen, why do you have to be so polite when we are friends of the same generation? If you are polite to me again, then you will look down on me!"

Cen Changqian is also a generation of martial arts practitioners. Seeing Li Chengqian's boldness, she didn't want to be hypocritical. The two looked at each other and laughed.

"Brother Cen, after drinking so much wine, do you need to add some sober soup, or if you go in after a while, I'm afraid you won't be able to raise the money steadily."

"Hey, this little wine is nothing, even if you drink another two liters, Brother Yu will never shake your pen!!".
Seeing Cen Changqian being introduced into the tribute courtyard by Henglian, Changsun Wuji came back from the window. He couldn't figure out why Li Chengqian was going to help Cen Wenwen's nephew.Who doesn't know that Cen Wen has eaten the weight and is determined to help King Wu fight for the reserve position. This small favor may not shake his determination.

"Your Highness, the old minister is a little confused about what you did today. Cen Wenwen arranged his nephew to the Ministry of War to accumulate some qualifications for him so that he can help the King of Wu in the future. Isn't what you did today raise a tiger?"

Seeing his uncle frowning, Li Chengqian waved his hand and signaled Changsun Wuji to sit down first: "Uncle, you have to look at everything from both sides. What Cen Changqian said is right, the original can only clear the source, let him write a righteous story here." In other words, isn't it good to clean up the atmosphere in the officialdom?

As long as he can contribute to the imperial court, it doesn't matter what his origin is.Besides, with his stature, he might have to wait decades to challenge Gu. "

Changsun Wuji knew his nephew's stubborn temper, and the things he decided could not be changed by ordinary people, so he stopped arguing and tried to persuade Li Chengqian to be more defensive.

"Uncle, if a person wants to be strong forever, then let him always have an opponent and a goal, otherwise this life would be boring, but I think this Cen Changqian is very interesting."
