marquis of jingan

Chapter 306 Responsibility and Inheritance!
Shen Yi didn't plan to hide the matter from Master Lu about the matter of the mansion's newspaper department, and in fact he couldn't hide it from Master Lu.

This is his mentor, and also his backer in the court for some time to come.

From a political level or an academic level, two people can even sublimate from a master-student relationship to a "father-son relationship", because this kind of master-student relationship between two people cannot be broken off or shaken off.

Shen Yi sat across from Master Lu, and roughly talked about his thoughts on the Di Baosi, and then he said slowly: "Teacher, if a student enters the officialdom according to the usual way, he will observe politics in the six departments in a proper manner, and wait for the official department to assign him. Even if you are lucky enough to enter the Imperial Academy and become an official in the Imperial Academy, you will need at least seven or eight years or even more than ten years before you can have some ability to do things."

"If you are unlucky and you are assigned to a place, based on the student's grades, there is a high probability that you will start from the county magistrate of a middle county. By then, it will take more than ten years to go from the county to the prefecture and then to the province. , to be able to do something for the court.”

"And the students will be able to work for the court immediately if they go to take charge of the newspaper department."

Master Lu looked calm, and he said in a deep voice: "You are only 17 years old this year, so according to what you said, wait for more than ten years, that is, you will be in your early 30s. By then, your mind should have calmed down. It is suitable to work for the court."

Master Lu looked at Shen Yi, and sighed slightly: "As a teacher, I also came from my youth. I know what you young people are thinking, as a teacher, I know very well. You, Shen Ziheng, are only 17 years old this year. More than ten years is too long, you are eager to make meritorious service, and you are eager to do things."

"You want to flex your muscles and show off your abilities, don't you?"

Master Lu looked at Shen Yi and shook his head slightly: "You also know that the serious civil service path is the right way. Since it is the right way, it is the experience of countless seniors. Although walking on the right way is slow, it is safe."

"Brother Changping told me about the Di Bao Si you got. He said that the Di Bao Si is currently in charge of the eunuch in the palace."

Master Lu frowned: "Besides, it's just an errand for printing the mansion newspaper. Even if you can say something, in the final analysis, the things printed by this mansion newspaper are not what you, Shen Ziheng want to say, but what your majesty wants to say. You go to the mansion to report Secretary, as a teacher, I don't see what I can do for the court."

"One can't get it right..."

Master Lu's face was calm: "It will also ruin my reputation."

Shen Yi was taught humbly, he bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "I have actually thought about what my mentor said, and I have said some heartfelt words to my mentor. If the court is now stable, I will make the country strong and the people rich. Then after the student has won the Jinshi, he will immediately go to the right path that the teacher said, if possible, the student can stay in some Qingshui yamen for a lifetime."

"But the country is not stable."

Shen Yi sighed, and said: "Master, you know more about the affairs of the court than I do. You should know that the imperial court has been in a state of depression since the first emperor's defeat in Lianghuai. It was also because of this incident that I was disheartened and returned to Jiangdu to study."

"Now, the new monarch has not been in power for a long time, and he is forging ahead. This is Chen Guo's last chance."

Shen Yi said silently: "If this time, the court still can't straighten its spine, can't raise its head to face the people of Qi, and can't let those people of Qi suffer and suffer, then it doesn't need much..."

Shen Yi said in a deep voice: "It only takes two or three major defeats, and most of the new emperors today will stop thinking about looking north and shrink their heads like the first emperor. They only want to be in the south of the Yangtze River, and want to be rich and rich."

"Your Majesty is only 17 years old this year."

Shen Yi let out a foul breath: "If he loses his heart, then the court may be dumb for ten or twenty years, or even thirty or forty years!"

"Two generations can't hold their heads up."

"As for Chen Guo, can he persist for 40 years..."

Shen Yi lowered his head and said nothing: "This point, my mentor should be clearer than me."

Shen Yi's words are well-founded.

This is not his bragging in front of Master Lu, but a question he has really thought about in private. According to Shen Yi's estimation of the current world structure, if in the current emperor's generation, that is, the Hongde Dynasty, Chen Guo failed to complete the strategy. With a change in status, Chen Guo's national fortune will come to an end.

Even if Chen Guo would not die in the Hongde Dynasty, at most it would be one or two generations later, and the country would be gone.

When the time comes, people in the future will remember this period of history and may come up with a sentence.

Nan Chen's name died in XX, but in fact he died in Hongde.

And Shen Yi also thought about himself and the future of the Shen family.

He has now completed his personal class transition, and he will be the civil servant of Chen Guo in the future.

Not only him, but his future sons, daughters, and even grandsons will become the upper class of the Chen Kingdom and become the so-called "gentry".

And if Shen Yi continues to live at ease like this, maybe 40 years later when his descendants are full, a military disaster from the north will completely destroy the Shen family. He watched his children and grandchildren become "subjugated prisoners" as written in the petition.

Shen Yi still vividly remembers the things recorded in the book "Yan Wen".

These barbarians are no different from animals when they do evil.

What's even more frightening is that what will destroy Chen State decades later may not necessarily be the already weak and "sinicized" Northern Qi in the north, but a more vicious and brutal alien race in the north.

Being a human being for two generations, Shen Yi always felt that he should do something for this era. At the very least, he couldn't let the things recorded in "Swallow News" reappear. Purgatory on earth.

Master Lu was silent for a long time before he let out a long sigh: "But what can the newspaper secretary do?"

"There are many things that Di Baosi can do."

Shen Yi said with a smile: "Even the newly established Di Baosi already has some intelligence-gathering capabilities. In the future, after the students take over the Di Baosi, they will try their best to expand this yamen. One day, the Di Baosi will become the most important in the imperial court." One of the help..."

He looked at Master Lu and said in a deep voice, "Teacher, what a student has to do is not just a newspaper secretary, there are more things to do in the future, but a journey of thousands of miles begins with a single step, and there must be a beginning."

"Di Baosi is the beginning of a student."

What I have to say is that Shen Yi's eloquence is good.

So much so that Master Lu was touched by his words. The old cynic of Chen Guo sat in his seat, looked at Shen Yi, and sighed softly: "In the future, if Ziheng can really do something for the court, he will be a teacher. In the future, when I come to the ground, I will smile at Jiuquan."

He looked at Shen Yi and asked, "When will Ziheng return to Jiankang?"

Shen Yi bowed his head and thought for a while, then replied: "It is estimated that after five or six days, after dealing with the family affairs, I will leave for Jiankang."

"it is good."

Master Lu clapped his hands and said: "When the time comes, come to the academy to pick up the old man, and the old man will go to Jiankang with you to walk around and meet Brother Changping for you."

He looked at Shen Yi with a smile on his face.

"As long as you have this heart, the Academy will help you if it can help you."

Shen Yi was overjoyed upon hearing this.

My teacher, this is going to Jiankang to pave the way for myself!
He took a deep breath and bowed respectfully to Master Lu.

"Student... thank you teacher!"
