marquis of jingan

Chapter 182 Introduction Letter

Shen Yi froze in place, dumbfounded.

He never imagined that things would develop into what they are today, could develop into what they are today!
In his opinion, this matter was at most escalated to a diplomatic incident, and then the gentlemen in the court had a quarrel over his matter, and after the quarrel, Zhao Changping would come to inform him of the result of the matter.

What he never expected was that the court's handling of him had not yet come down, and three court chiefs lost their positions because of this matter!

Seeing Shen Yi's appearance, Zhao Changping knocked on the table and said, "Although I'm a little surprised by this matter, you don't have to think too much about it, because these three people were punished because of you, but they are not related to you." It doesn't matter much."

As if he felt that Shen Yi didn't understand, Zhao Shilang continued: "These three people are all... Yang faction."

At this moment, Shen Yi finally understood. He took a deep breath and sat on the chair, still feeling a little nervous.

Feelings... I have become a tool in the court's political struggle!

Zhao Shilang lowered his eyebrows and said: "The things in the court should be far away from you, and they are things that you can't reach at all. Although you are involved now, you don't have to worry too much."

"I invite you to come over for dinner today, mainly for two things."

Zhao Shilang's face was calm, and he said slowly: "It's fine for the two servants to lose their positions. The main reason is that a prime minister is dismissed. This is a very big matter. It involves many people in the court. It is inevitable that someone will take their anger out on you, so I just let you come to my house for a meal, so that people in Jiankang will see it, and they will probably not make things difficult for you anymore."

Zhao Shilang didn't make it clear.

The social point is that Shen Yi's matter, his surname is Zhao, has been taken care of.

If there is anything, come to him, Zhao Changping.

Zhao Shilang paused, and continued: "The second matter is also what Jizhong wrote to me."

He looked at Shen Yi with a serious face: "It's your studies."

"It's almost May now, and there's only half a year left before the township examination. Junior brother Lu is very worried about your studies, so let me give you more attention."

Speaking of this, Zhao Shilang sighed, and said: "Jizhong and I are not only classmates, classmates, but also good friends of the same subject. Since you are his student, you should have taught you when you came to Jiankang, but I have a heavy workload at the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I don't have time to teach you how to read, and the Imperial College..."

Zhao Shilang frowned: "You are not recruiting people now. Firstly, it is not easy to get in. Secondly, if you are forced to enter and let you participate in the rural examination as a student supervisor, you will be criticized in the future."

There are a group of scholars studying in the Imperial College.

The Guozijian has a number of places for the exam every year. If you participate in the Jiankang Township Examination, you can still have the status of Juren after passing the exam.

Only after winning the Juren before entering the Imperial College, no one will gossip behind his back.

"So I'm going to find you a gentleman to teach you to read during this time."

Hearing this sentence, Shen Yi was overjoyed.

After finishing the college entrance examination, he read books by himself, and wrote essays and essays by himself, but his learning efficiency was obviously much worse than when he was in Ganquan Academy. Difficulty recognizing one's mistakes and omissions.

At this time, a famous teacher is very important.

As for Zhao Shilang's level, the teacher he introduced will naturally not be a mediocre teacher, even if he is not a great Confucianist, at least he should be a famous teacher in Jiankang.

He nodded deeply and said, "Thank you, Uncle."

"Don't thank me."

Zhao Shilang took a meaningful look at Shen Yi, and said softly: "Although this incident has not yet passed, but seeing that the three Yang faction officials have been demoted or dismissed today, it shows that His Majesty's thoughts are on you. In other words, At least His Majesty still remembers you in his heart."

"This is a rare opportunity."

Zhao Changping said slowly: "15 years ago, our academy selected seven Jinshi in one year, and they were famous all over the world. They were called the Seven Sons of Ganquan by the people at that time. Among the seven sons of Ganquan, six are still in office now, and among these six, His Majesty It may not be possible to remember a few, but His Majesty remembers you."

He looked at Shen Yi and said in a deep voice: "But after all, your majesty is young and not calm enough. He may remember you for three months or even a year or so, but in one, two, three years, he will also remember you. You forgot, so you have to seize the opportunity..."

"Strive for..."

Zhao Shilang lowered his eyebrows and said: "Strive for this year's exam, next year's mid-term exam, and the title of the gold list."

The imperial examination will be held in the second year after the provincial examination year. Generally, new imperial examination candidates will try to take the Jinshi examination.

However, for the first time to take the Jinshi examination, most people go with the mentality of long-term knowledge, and they may not necessarily think that they must be admitted to the Jinshi.

Even Shen Yi only thought about being selected as a candidate this year, but he hadn't thought about whether he could be a Jinshi next year.

But now, Zhao Shilang has already thought about him.

Shen Qilang smiled wryly, bowed his head and said: "Master, my nephew's knowledge is here, I dare not speak wildly, I can only say try my best..."

"Um…"

Zhao Shilang was still talking, when Mrs. Zhao's voice came from outside the door: "Master, Qilang, the food is ready, let's go out and eat."

Zhao Shilang nodded, responded, then stood up directly from the chair, walked up to Shen Yi and patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, and said: "I think you are hungry too, let's talk after dinner."

Shen Yi followed Zhao Shilang in a regular manner, left the study, and came all the way to the dining hall of the Zhao family.

The Zhao family had two sons and a daughter, but the daughter was married and was not at home. At this time, the Zhao family's two sons and a daughter-in-law were present, and under the recommendation of Mrs. Zhao, Shen Yi bowed to the three of them one by one.

After saluting, everyone sat down to eat according to their seats.

At this time, the Zhao family's eyes were all on Shen Yi.

Because Zhao Shilang's personality is quite old-fashioned, he usually has a straight face and a serious look at home, and he doesn't even see many guests at home, let alone someone coming to the house for a family dinner.

And this young man with a Jiangdu accent was actually invited to have a family dinner at home!
This is unprecedented in the Zhao family.

Under the curious eyes of everyone, Shen Yi bit the bullet and finished the meal, and then followed Zhao Shilang to his study amidst the greetings of Mrs. Zhao and the two sons of the Zhao family.

At this moment, the sky is completely dark.

Zhao Shilang ignored Shen Yi, sat in his seat and wrote vigorously. About half an hour later, he finished writing a letter. After signing it, he stamped his private seal and stuffed it into the envelope. After writing the address on the paper, handed it to Shen Yi, and said.

"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the Jiankang government office will probably announce the disposition of you. After the disposition results come out, you can take a break and go to this address to find Mr. Gu and give this letter to him. He will sell some of it for you." Give me face, I should be willing to teach you how to read."

Shen Yi took it with both hands, bowing his head in response.

"also…"

Zhao Changping lowered his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty has already written a note today asking the Ministry of Households to allocate money to print the new mansion report you wrote. The specific errands should be done by the palace. I want to come..."

He looked at Shen Yi, and said: "It will take five or six days at most, and the new mansion newspaper will be printed."
