marquis of jingan

Chapter 283 Do you want to sleep?
This kind of asking for an official is very blatant. It stands to reason that no matter how close a minister is to the emperor, he would not speak so bluntly.

However, this sentence seems very reasonable in the current situation.

The little emperor was a little dazed, then turned his gaze from Gu Hengbo to Shen Yi, and smiled dumbly: "The people around have been awarded Jinshi, and they all want to squeeze into the Imperial Academy, or simply want to put it somewhere else, I have experienced the addiction of being a parent official, why are you different from others, and you are going to be the head of such a yamen that runs a residence newspaper?"

"If you can enter the Imperial Academy, you naturally want to enter the Imperial Academy."

To enter the Hanlin Academy, one usually needs to be a first-class Jinshi and the top few of the second-class. Shen Yi is already a great success if he is lucky enough to get a second-class in this subject, and it is difficult to get such a high ranking.

Shen Yi has calmed down now, and is not as nervous as before. He glanced at the emperor from the corner of his eye, and then said silently: "If you can't enter the Imperial Academy, I want to go to some place where I can contribute to the imperial court, to help the imperial court. Do something."

The emperor looked calm.

As an emperor, he often made big cakes for his subordinates.

There are often subordinates who draw big cakes for him in front of him.

This kind of painting of cakes has been seen a lot. The emperor is already immune to painting cakes. After listening to Shen Yi's words, he did not have any emotional fluctuations, but said quietly: "The Di Baosi is just a government office that publishes the Di Bao. , Tell me, how do you want to do things for the court?"

Shen Yi has thought about this question many times.

To be precise, when he was in Jiangdu, he had thought about this issue, thinking about how he should quickly get ahead in the court.

For this reason, Shen Yi also went through some miscellaneous books on the official system of the court, and also asked Zhang Jian about this issue.

But finally came to a conclusion.

Whether it is a Beijing official or a local official, it will take about 20 years to climb to the top step by step and become a real boss who can take charge of the court. Even if everything goes well, it will take about [-] years.

There are two striking examples.

Chen Yu, the former prefect of Jiangdu, is also a talented young man. He was a Jinshi at the age of 22 and three years old, and then he went to the local government as a local official. Even if everything goes well for him in the next official career, he may not be able to be the sixth minister in ten years.

Chen Yu is not a mediocre person. From a political point of view, some of his methods and vision are much stronger than the current Shen Yi. It takes 20 years for this kind of person to become a servant, let alone Shen Yi?
There is one more stark example.

That is Shen Yi's good brother Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian is also a second-class Jinshi, and there are more than 20 second-class scholars. His ranking is not low. What's more, he is the grandson of the current prime minister. Xiangmenzi, who started Tianhu, has entered the imperial court for about four years, and he is only the magistrate of Jiangdu County so far.

Of course, his official career will probably be much smoother than Chen Yu's. If there is no accident, he will be transferred back to Jiankang in a few years, and then follow the road paved for him by his retired grandfather. climbed up.

And what about Shen Yi?

The only political advantage he currently has is his background in Ganquan Academy. Apart from that, the only thing left is that he wrote a residence report to the emperor.

The former advantage is, to be honest, useful, but not entirely useful.

After all, Zhao Shilang still has a son-in-law to take care of, so it's not up to Shen Yi to really benefit from it.

If Shen Yi enters the imperial court as a second-class Jinshi, fills in officials step by step, and rises step by step from the local official, if everything goes well, it will take more than ten or twenty years, at most he will be in charge of a province, and then it will almost come to an end .

And Shen Yi wants to climb faster and higher, so that he can do some things he wants to do.

Then there is only one choice left.

Let the emperor promote himself.

Although being an official in this era is about seniority, if you are appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor, the speed of promotion is unreasonable. In another world, the promotion is like a rocket.

Although it is inevitable that some people will scold a few "lucky ministers" behind their backs, compared to the huge benefits, being scolded is nothing.

From this point of view, there is no more suitable yamen than Dibaosi.

Firstly, the Mansion Reporting Department is attached to the Ministry of Rites, it is a civil government office, and the rank of the chief official is not high, it should be around the eighth rank, so it is reasonable for Xinke Jinshi to fill the vacancy.

Moreover, Shen Yi was originally one of the founders of the Dibao Division, so it was reasonable to join the Dibao Division.

More importantly, although Di Baosi is just an inconspicuous small office affiliated to the Ministry of Rites, in the future... maybe there is a lot to do.

Shen Yi slightly lowered his eyebrows and said: "Young Master, I heard that the Qi people in the north are very dishonest. Since Di Baodi is investigating the news, he may not necessarily have to investigate in our Chen country, but he can also develop to Northern Qi. In the future, Di Baosi Maybe something else can be done.”

The emperor finally frowned.

He turned his head to look at Shen Yi with a calm expression: "What you said, someone in the court is already doing it. They are called inner guards."

"My lord, compared to the internal guards, Di Baosi can do things more covertly, and..."

"The current influence of the Di Baosi is not small, and it can even influence some scholars in the Northern Qi Dynasty. We can slowly expand the Di Baosi to the Northern Qi Dynasty."

The emperor's face was calm: "What if the people of Qi don't allow it?"

Shen Yi replied without hesitation: "Then smuggle it to the people of Qi. There are countless business routes between the people and the people of Qi. You can send anything you want."

To be honest, in private, Shen Yi once had the idea of ​​developing the Dibao Division into Jinyiwei.

After all, the prototype of Jinyiwei is just the emperor's guard of honor.

If the guard of honor can grow to that scale, then why can't the Yindibao?
But from the current point of view, it is a long way to seize power from the inner guard. It cannot be done in a day or two, and it can only be done slowly.

Therefore, Shen Yi did not mention this idea to the little emperor.

The little emperor didn't worry about whether the Dibao could be printed in Northern Qi Dynasty, and he was very satisfied with the current role of the Dibao Division in the country.

He looked at Shen Yi and spoke slowly.

"Over the past year, the Di Bao Division's Di Bao has worked very well, and I am very happy to see it."

His Majesty the Emperor thought for a while, then turned his head and looked at Shen Yi: "You have contributed to this matter. Since you want to enter the mansion to report to the head of the department, then I will accept you. If you can be a Jinshi this year, I will let you go. Di Baosi will give it a try for two years."

Because he was thinking about political affairs, he had changed his name before he knew it.

"After all, it is because of you that the report of this mansion has been studied carefully."

The emperor thought for a while, and added: "But if it's not done well, you can't blame me for your errand."

"It's natural."

Shen Yi reached out to add a cup of tea to the emperor, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

When the two of them had reached this point, Gu Hengbo finished playing the pipa again.

Shen Yi smiled and clapped his hands, but did not speak.

But the little emperor said hello and ordered a piece of music himself. After Gu Hengbo nodded with a smile, the pipa sounded again.

Now, it's evening.

Both sides of the Qinhuai River are covered with lanterns.

The two sat on the painting boat and hung up lanterns.

Numerous lanterns illuminate the Qinhuai River like daytime, showing the prosperity of Jiankang, the "Southern Capital".

Shen Yi glanced at Gu Hengbo who was playing the piano, and then glanced at the emperor from the corner of his eye, then excused his abdominal pain, got up and left silently.

After leaving the scene, he gave Eunuch Gao a wink, Eunuch Gao said something to the emperor calmly, and followed Shen Yi to the door.

Eunuch Gao was a little unhappy, frowned and looked at Shen Yi: "What are you doing? Do you think His Majesty can't see it?"

Mr. Shen stood at the door, coughed, and said in a low voice: "Eunuch, it's getting late, does your majesty want this maid to sleep?"
