The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

"If the uncle wants to find someone with the same goals, I'm afraid my nephew is not the right one." Sheng Yuan really couldn't bear to hear him complain about the past and autumn. She, the one who was deceived, was not disappointed, but the one who was deceived kept sighing. , which is a bit ironic.

"Well, it seems to be true now." Sheng Xiangya's mood was particularly stable, and he nodded without getting angry, "It's just that he blindly followed what his predecessors did, and mediocrely rested on the credit book of his predecessors without asking for anything. Is it right to make progress?"

"..." Sheng Yuan's qi-nurturing skills were still a little poor. She didn't want to say anything, but she couldn't help but said, "Is it right to just sit on the merits of your ancestors and enjoy wealth and status like salted fish? I don't think so." .

It's just that if you want to make achievements, you have to stand on the platform set up by your ancestors, which is boring.

If you want the world's history books to praise a young phoenix as being more beautiful than an old phoenix, you don't have to break the tacit understanding between the Sheng family and the royal family.

Uncle, this world is so big, and there are so many places where we can make great achievements. The only way to go is to turn the palace of a hereditary prince into a palace of a degraded prince. "

As for this, Sheng Yuan felt that it was almost done.

She didn't think that she could persuade the other party with just these few words, but she couldn't bear to see the other party's attitude of being sober while everyone else was drunk.

Now that he was no longer interested in talking, Sheng Yuan handed over and said goodbye: "Uncle, if I have nothing else to do, I will say goodbye to my nephew."

Sheng Xiangya was startled, and when he saw Sheng Yuan walking away without any hesitation, he couldn't help but say: "Sister Yuan, do you know that the old man refused to see me even when he was dying?"

Sheng Yuan suddenly paused and did not turn to look at him. She just tilted her head slightly and asked softly: "Uncle, do you think that my grandfather's refusal to see you is because he is angry and grudged about his nephew?"

She didn't wait for Sheng Xiangya to say anything, and sighed softly and said: "My grandfather lived a carefree life. He seemed not to care about anything, but he only cared about the inheritance of the Duke's mansion. Otherwise, uncle, you wouldn't have been alive as my son." He sat so securely in his seat.

But it happened that the Duke's Mansion, which he valued so much, chose the dangerous road instead of the smooth road under your control. When my grandfather raised his eyes, all he saw was that the Duke's Mansion was unstable in the storm. How do you accept it?

Grandfather can't change your mind, nor can he influence the future of the Duke's Mansion. I'm afraid all he can do is refuse to see you, or end up being out of sight and out of mind! ! "

"Haha, don't worry. The news that the old man did not see his eldest son before he left has probably spread to Kyoto. Based on this, the Duke's Mansion has no chance to go any further. The old man managed to overturn the ship by his own strength."

Although these words were full of dissatisfaction, Sheng Xiangya's tone was still calm, as if he had no dissatisfaction with what his father had done.

Suddenly, Sheng Yuan turned her head and looked at him in surprise.

Sure enough, Sheng Xiangya's face was also extremely calm, not sad, happy, angry or angry.

Probably aware of Sheng Yuan's surprise, Sheng Xiangya smiled mockingly: "Sister Yuan, there is no need to be curious. I am just willing to admit defeat... As for not earning a brighter future for the Duke's government, it is It's not my fault that there are so many people involved. Although I regret it, I don't care about it."

"Uncle, why should we be sorry? Rather, we should be thankful for it. The Shengguo Palace has been inherited for more than ten generations, with twenty-six emperors in three dynasties, and over hundreds of years of Yan, Chen and Chu. It has made countless achievements and is proud and stable to this day. All it relies on is the ministers. A tacit understanding with the emperor. If the Duke's Palace is allowed to go further, it will be like sailing in the deep sea.

When the water reaches the side of the boat, the flowers bloom in the garden, and the oil reaches the edge of the pot, how can the uncle save the building from tipping?

Or, uncle, do you like the brilliance of fireworks for a moment, and want to be like the Qin Dynasty who fought for the remaining six generations and will not survive after the second? "

"You..." Sheng Yuan's unceremonious questioning finally caused cracks to appear on Sheng Xiangya's calm face.

"Uncle, my grandfather loved you so much that he couldn't bear to say harsh words or break your yearning; my father loved you so much that he never made you feel hopeless and didn't want you to recognize your arrogance and ignorance.

But my nephew is different. I have never hated you or loved you, so I can tell you frankly that you value your own talents too much and underestimate the wisdom of your ancestors. Sometimes, the scary thing is not that a fool cannot know himself, but that a fool occupies a high position and looks at everyone as a fool. " Sheng Yuan said this, paused, and added: "The courtiers criticized me before, and I wrote an article "The Fool's Theory" to fight back, but it has not been published yet. Afterwards, uncle can take a look.

However, it needs to be mentioned that not a single word of my nephew’s writing is directed at my uncle, nor is this chapter meant to ridicule you, uncle. "

After saying this, Sheng Yuan bowed his hands and strode away.

This time, Sheng Xiangya didn't call her again. He was startled for a moment and then laughed dumbly: "Fool? Fool! Who is stupid or wise? Different people have different opinions!"

……

Sheng Yuan is a girl who keeps her word. She said she would write an article called "The Fool's Tale", so before she left Shou'an City, this "Fool's Tale" was published.

"[...Fools all regard others as fools. They know their shortcomings but forget their strengths. They value short-term benefits and underestimate long-term benefits. When looking at the root cause, they may be smart, but they are not wise."

Sister Yuan, your writing is so good!

But who are you scolding? "

Anyu held Sheng Yuan's article, admired it for a moment and praised it, and then looked at Sheng Yuan in confusion.

Although the article didn't mention anyone by name, he felt like Sheng Yuan was pointing at someone's nose and scolding him for being a smart fool.

"I am a civilized person and have always loved peace. How could I curse someone for nothing? You are overthinking."

"Really?" Anyu scratched his head and looked at Sister Yuan, whose expression was neither salty nor bland, his eyes a little confused.

When his eyes touched the collected works of Sheng Yuan he compiled, his eyes became clear.

As far as he knows, one-third of the articles in Sheng Yuan's collected works are full of fighting flavor, so... this "Fool's Tale" is just Sheng Yuan's work of interest, and the things are done normally, and there is no other meaning? !

"Brother Yu, have you packed your luggage? It's time to set off tomorrow, so don't leave anything behind!"

Sheng Yuan's urging drew Anyu's attention away from the article.

Thinking of the pile of unpacked boxes, Anyu couldn't sit still: "I'd better go back and take a look, otherwise, Chengdong might cry!"

……

"Hahaha! What a beautiful sister Yuan is!" In the Lanzheng Palace, Emperor Yanping clicked on the article "The Fool Said" and said to Sheng Ran, who was lowering his head to read the memorial, "I thought that this girl was really interested in those who criticized the impeachment. She didn't take it seriously, but she didn't want to, she was waiting here!

This time, the imperial court and the Imperial College, together with the Tianxia Academy's public press conference, jointly published a paper. Literary men, scholars, officials and scholars from all over Chu could submit essays expressing their emotions, but those with good skills could publish them regardless of their rhetoric or stance.

Sister Yuan's little mocking article will probably spread throughout the country and be heard by everyone in the world! "
