marquis of jingan

Chapter 156

Facing the boss directly, Shen Yi was quite respectful.

Although this Minister Zhao is not in the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of Officials, he can neither lead the subsequent scientific examinations nor fill him a fat vacancy, but as an "old senior" and a friend of his teacher, once Shen Yi becomes an official, this Zhao The servant will be his most solid thigh in the court.

You know, His Majesty the Emperor has already started to take charge this year, and has been in charge for half a year.

According to estimates, that Yang Xiang, who has been in charge of the meeting hall for many years, will retire from the meeting hall at the earliest this year, and next year at the latest, retire from his old age and return to his hometown, and go home to retire.

And once the prime minister of the meeting hall is renewed, most likely there will not be only one person. There are now five prime ministers in the meeting hall. If there is no accident, at least two or even three prime ministers will step down in the past two years.

Maybe at some point, this servant Zhao will pay homage to the prime minister.

Once Zhao Changping pays homage to the prime minister, he will become the second prime minister from Ganquan Academy in the 60 years since his journey to the South, and the power of Ganquan Academy in the court will also expand a lot by then.

After Shen Yi sat down, Zhao Shilang took a serious look at Shen Yi, and then asked: "As far as I know, after Jizhong returned to Jiangdu, he devoted himself to studying and never accepted any more students. It's rare to accept you in Jiangdu again." Such a student."

Speaking of this, Zhao Shilang said with emotion: "You student, you also give him a lot of face. Only three months after arriving in Jiankang, two poems caused a sensation in Jiankang City, and even reached Tianting. "

"It's amazing."

Zhao Shilang said indifferently: "When Jizhong and I were at your age, we were still studying in Jiangdu, which is far behind your current achievements."

Shen Yi looked respectful, lowered his head slightly and said: "Uncle Master is absurdly praised. To tell you the truth, I never wanted to be famous, and I never wanted to spread these two poems. It was because of an accident that they spread all over the world. Kang."

Generally speaking, when others say that you are good at writing poetry, you have to be humble and say something clumsy, but Shen Yi can't be so modest.

Because no matter whether it’s Qinhuai’s Speechless Talk about the Setting Sun from Peach Blossom Fan, or Mr. Jiefu’s Spring Breeze and the South Bank of the Green River, he didn’t write it...

"It's unintentional to plant willows and willows into shade."

Zhao Shilang looked at Shen Yi and smiled: "If it is an ordinary romantic poem, I won't care too much if it is not famous, but I have read both of your poems, and they are very well written."

He looked at Shen Yi and said meaningfully: "It's very useful."

Shen Yi was thoughtful, and seemed to understand Zhao Shilang's meaning, but he didn't speak, just bowed his head slightly.

Now is not the time to be smart.

Zhao Shilang looked at the respectful Shen Yi, and nodded with some satisfaction: "You have a very good temper."

After saying this, Zhao Changping glanced at Zhang Jian, who was smiling, and said in a muffled voice, "Your Senior Brother Zhang is because his temper is too jumpy. I have told him many times, but he still refuses to change. His temper is too frivolous, not enough. Be calm, now that Prime Minister Zhang is in the court, and I am also in the court, and no one can do anything to him, one day we will not be in the court, and sooner or later he will be held accountable."

Zhang Jian was smiling all over his face, but after hearing this sentence, his smile suddenly collapsed. He looked at Zhao Changping and said helplessly, "Teacher, I always like to joke around, why am I not calm?"

"If you are calm enough, you should be your parent's official in Jiangdu. You went to Jiangdu by yourself at the beginning. You have only been in Jiangdu for a few months, and you can't bear to sneak back to Jiankang. If you are an ordinary Family background, just this time, the Ministry of Officials will write down this sum, and you will never be promoted if you don’t stay in the county magistrate’s position for more than ten years!”

With a bitter face, Zhang Jian bowed her head to Zhao Changping and said, "Teacher, I explained to you that my grandmother was sick and wanted to see me every day, but my mother had no choice but to write me a letter asking me to come back..."

Zhao Changping glanced at Zhang Jian and said calmly, "Has Prime Minister Zhang written to you yet? Has your father written to you yet?"

His words made Zhang Jian froze in place, without speaking for a long time.

Zhao Changping calmly said, "Your Majesty is in charge. It won't be long before the court will update its personnel. This is the time to employ people. Maybe all the files about officials from the Ministry of Officials have been sent to the Deqing Hall for your Majesty to review. , what would he think if he saw this page of yours?"

"Do you think you can rely on it?"

Zhang Jian was silent for a long time, bowed deeply to his teacher, bowed his head and said: "The teacher has a golden word, the disciple has been taught."

"That's all, you are from the Xiangmen, and you don't understand the hard work of climbing the officialdom, so I won't criticize you too much as a teacher."

Zhao Changping said slowly: "In life, there are inevitably some choices. As for staying in Jiankang to accompany the old lady, or returning to Jiangdu, you can go back and think for yourself, or you can discuss it with Zhang Xiang."

Zhang Jian bowed his head respectfully: "I understand."

After dealing with Zhang Jian's matter, Zhao Changping looked at Shen Yi again.

"Shen Yi."

Shen Yi quickly lowered his head and said, "The student is here."

"Since you did well in the college exam, you don't have to go back to Jiangdu to study this year. You can stay in the capital and continue to take the rural exam. If you pass the rural exam this year, I can recommend you to study in the Imperial College, or I can find you a job in Jiankang. Teacher, you... have to pass the exam well."

Zhao Shilang's face became serious: "Your two poems can be listened to by Datian, which shows that they are very suitable for His Majesty. This is a great opportunity for you, but this opportunity can only be fully grasped after you go well in the examination room and win the Jinshi." , can you understand?"

The general procedure is that after being selected as a scholar, one has to go to the county school of the local county government to report and enroll in the school, but this year is the year of the township examination, and after the school administration office gives Shen Yi admission to the school book and issued his identity, Shen Yi does not have to rush back to Jiangdu , You can directly stay in Jiankang to take the provincial examination.

Besides, the authentic Jiangdu county magistrate is in front of Shen Yi right now, even if there are any mistakes in the process, there will be no problem.

Shen Yi bowed his head respectfully: "The student understands."

"Ah."

Zhao Changping stood up from the chair, turned around and rummaged through his bookshelf for a while, and then found an ancient book with five characters written on it.

"Zhou Wending Public Collection"

Zhou is the surname, and Wending is the posthumous title given by the imperial court.

Zhao Shilang walked up to Shen Yi, handed the book to Shen Yi's hand, and said in a deep voice: "This is my senior from Ganquan Academy, the anthology of Duke Wen Ding, and Duke Wen Ding is also the first student from Ganquan Academy since he went to the south. A prime minister, this collection of essays is extensive and profound, and I will give it to you today, and you can take it back and read it when you have nothing to do, it will be of great benefit to your knowledge."

Shen Yi also heard about Zhou Wending's deeds, and immediately took it with both hands, bowed his head and said: "Thank you, Master, for giving me the book."

Zhao Shilang nodded, and said: "Okay, you go out first and wait, I still have a few gossips with your senior brother."

Shen Yi nodded, and slowly exited Zhao Shilang's study.

After he left, Zhao Changping walked back to his seat and sat down, then looked at Zhang Jian, and said slowly: "Shen Yi's poems have won the sacred heart. He is about the same age as His Majesty. Once he enters the court, he may be Decades ahead."

Zhang Jian stood beside Zhao Shilang with his hands down, glanced at his teacher cautiously, and asked, "The teacher also likes him?"

"We'll have to wait until he wins the Jinshi."

Zhao Shilang put his eyes on his desk again, and he said flatly: "The teacher is getting older, and the next generation of the academy needs someone who can take charge."
