A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Su Yan was promoted.

Hangzhou Shipping Ambassador.

The news swept Bianliang instantly.

What a young man could be more proud of than this!

Some people said that Su Yan was too young and that the official's move was a bit excessive.

Immediately, the news of the Champa king's night attack on the mission's residence spread everywhere.

How dare the ruler of Champa attack the Song Dynasty envoy?

Countless people are filled with indignation, but a handful of people are sneering.

"It was us who attacked the Champa palace at night."

It was said that Champa's initiative to attack the mission was a necessity of justice, but Su Yan would naturally not hide it from Shen An.

After he finished speaking, he looked up at Shen An, like a child who had just done something big and was looking forward to being praised by adults.

"Excellent, with the majesty of an envoy from the Han and Tang Dynasties." Shen An was very happy.

After the Han and Tang Dynasties, the envoys from the Central Plains were worse than the last, and the reason was that each foreign enemy became more powerful than the last.

Now that Su Yan is showing off his power in Zhancheng, it can be said to have given the Song Dynasty a shot of stimulant.

Feeling good?

It can be seen from the official's move to promote Su Yan to the position of Chief Shipping Officer that the monarchs and ministers in the court were probably half crazy.

"The Shibo Department is a window for the Song Dynasty to the outside world. If it is done well, it will be easy to get promoted and make a fortune in the future..."

Su Yan said with some embarrassment: "Shan Chief, didn't you teach us not to rush for promotion and fortune?"

"That's because you were still young at that time." Shen An smiled and said: "People have desires, whether it is about men and women or power and wealth, people will be greedy because of this. The only difference is that some people will do whatever it takes to satisfy themselves. desire, and some people will stick to the bottom line and not go astray.

When you were still a student, your understanding of the world was incomplete, and you were confused and unclear about your future path, so I could only use those words to guide you on the right path. Now that you are older, there is only one thing I can tell you: Don’t take the wrong path or walk at night! "

"If you go astray, it will be too late to come back. If you walk too much at night, be careful you may encounter ghosts!"

Su Yan went home and told Su Yi about Shen An's teachings.

Su Yi picked up the wine glass, looked at the good wine in the glass, and said nothing for a long time.

This was a good wine that he was only willing to drink when his son came back.

He took a sip, narrowed his eyes, and was extremely satisfied, then opened his mouth and breathed out a breath of alcohol.

"Dalang, what the Duke said is right. Human beings have that kind of desire... and a stupid father. You can't teach these things. But the Duke is right. If you go astray, you can't come back. If you go astray, you can't come back. You may encounter ghosts on the road at night!"

Su Yi was extremely happy when his son returned, and soon got drunk.

Su Yan helped him to the bedroom and placed him there.

"Dalang..."

"Dalang..."

Su Yi was shouting, and Su Yan answered from the side.

"Go and see your mother. Remember to go and see your mother."

"yes."

Su Yi and his son got up before dawn the next day.

They went out to buy sacrificial supplies, and then went all the way to the cemetery of Su Yan's mother.

The cemetery is simple, with tender grass dotted on the graves, and you can see signs that someone often came to clean up the graves.

After some sacrifices, Su Yi muttered for a long time.

After returning to the city, Su Yi felt that the atmosphere seemed wrong, so he went to ask a familiar shopkeeper.

When he came back, he looked happy and said, "The official family is looking for a son-in-law for Princess Baoan!"

He muttered: "Princess Baoan is said to be very popular with the emperor and the empress. If anyone can marry her, they will be rich and prosperous for the rest of their lives!"

Su Yan shook his head and said, "Dad, that's Princess Shang. If you become Princess Shang, you can no longer have a real job."

"So what if I don't have a real job?" Su Yi said with a smile, "As long as I can have enough food and clothing."

Ordinary people are satisfied with just having enough food and clothing.

But for some people, having enough food and clothing has never been a concern.

"The student just wants to ask, is it possible to pass the Jinshi examination in the future?"

The one kneeling below is Wang Shen, and the one sitting above is a famous scholar from Bianliang.

The scholar looked at several articles and glanced at him, "This matter... needs long-term consideration."

I don’t know since when, people in the literati circle like to speak tactfully. Even if they can speak clearly in one sentence, they have to go around in circles a few times.

This is what the so-called nine-turn large intestine means.

And the long-term plan is to hint to Wang Shen, what about your article... If you want to be a Jinshi, there is still a long way to go!

Take it long, take it long, that is, it will take a long time.

Planning and planning means studying hard.

Look, after the words have passed through the large intestine for nine turns, it becomes like this.

If you are not from this circle, you will not understand what they say.

Wang Shen raised his head, his eyes bright.

Da Ru nodded, indicating that his vision was correct.

He has taught three Jinshi, and he is guaranteed by this qualification.

Boy, do you want to win Jinshi for your article? Not even close.

Wang Shen took a deep breath to hide his disappointment, and then said respectfully: "Young man, please ask yourself for your diligence... Mr. Hard Work."

The scholar smiled slightly and said, "Everyone knows that you are diligent and studious. If you failed in the last subject, it was just a matter of youthful spirit. If you take this subject, you will definitely pass it."

This is also the nine-turn large intestine.

Wang Shen said that he was diligent so that the great scholar could keep his reputation. And "Mr. Hardworking" means that you, the old man, have taken advantage of my family and have to do things to make a name for someone.

Da Ru also agreed very professionally.

Diligence is the best sign of a young person. Failure to pass the previous subject is a sign of youthful spirit, which means that the article is too angry. After reading the article, the examiner feels that the candidate is too sharp, so he suppresses it.

These are all lies, and it is even more lies to say that Wang Shen will succeed in this subject. They are just taking advantage of the Wang family to gain momentum and build momentum for Wang Shen.

Wang Shen stood up and said, "Thank you sir."

He went home all the way to see his widowed mother Lu.

"mother."

The Wang family is not short of money, but the Lu family is widowed, but looks like an old feudal lord.

She took a sip of tea and said quietly: "Back then, you said that you were very talented, and the people you interacted with also praised you and said that you had great talents, so you were complacent and thought that you would be able to enter the university sooner or later. Show your ambition in the political affairs hall. But mother knows that your talents are mediocre, but it is the legacy of your ancestors that allows you to live a good life with no worries about food and clothing. In addition, our family's connections are coveted, so those talents will be friends with you.

But this won't last long, so... Mom asked you to consult that great scholar, just to show you how talented you are. How did he say? "

Wang Shen lowered his head and said nothing.

Mrs. Lu sighed, "Is that really the case?"

Although she felt that her son was not that talented, she still hoped that he could make a breakthrough in the imperial examination.

During the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination was a ladder to heaven. If you couldn't pass this level, you couldn't stand out.

She found the great scholar through connections and had to pay a lot of money for it.

This is the circle.

The relationships are connected one by one. As long as you are valuable, you can hang out in this circle.

The value of the Wang family's use is their former connections.

However, the number of connections decreases with use, so we need talents from this generation to revive the prestige of the Wang family.

Now it seems that this wish cannot be realized.

Lu rubbed the beads in her hand and said calmly: "The official family is looking for a son-in-law for Princess Bao'an. Everyone says that you are talented and handsome. Some people used to joke that you should become the official's consort, but you don't care. , saying that once you become a consort, you will no longer have ambitions, but what about now?"

Wang Shen felt hot all over his body, and the discomfort made him want to roar.

He raised his head, his eyes were red, and he looked very frightening, "Mom, is there no famous teacher anymore?"

He still wanted to take the imperial examination.

Mrs. Lu shook her head, "What you are meeting today is the best famous teacher. Mother sent a message to him that if you can hope to pass the imperial examination, let him keep you, but has he kept you?"

Wang Shen lowered his head.

"My son, this is what this person is like. God asked you to hibernate now, so you should hibernate obediently and wait for the weather." Lu said sincerely: "If you accept the princess, you will naturally have glory and wealth in the future. Is it not good?"

"But the princess is noble, what can I do?" Wang Shen thought that he had to treat the princess with respect, and he wanted to smash everything in front of him.

"Haha!" Mrs. Lu smiled and said calmly: "Son! You don't know that there are several princesses today. Among them, Princess Baoan is the most charming and naive. What is charming and naive? Do you know? "

Wang Shen raised his head, "Are you a fool?"

"Yes." Mrs. Lu said proudly: "For us and other powerful people, all kinds of methods are just commonplace. My charming princess, what is the difference between me and a fool in front of you? At that time, I will not let you do whatever you want. ?”

Wang Shen sighed softly, "I let my mother make the decision, my child."

Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "That's good. Mom will send letters to various places and ask them to build momentum for you. Isn't the royal family looking for a son-in-law based on reputation? Our family is not bad."

…

Zhao Qianyu is looking for a son-in-law.

Guoguo was very excited when she got the news and said she wanted to go to the palace to have a look.

"You are still young, it has nothing to do with you."

Yang Zhuoxue felt that her sister-in-law had a lot of homework recently, and she wanted to run away when she got the chance.

The weather is getting warmer, and Shen An has arranged a lot of homework for Guoguo, preparing to correct her from winter laziness.

Such days are really hard!

If he hadn't known that Shen An would never marry his sister-in-law into the palace, Yang Zhuoxue would have doubted his intentions.

"go Go."

Shen An was studying the situation in the southwest with Zhao Xu, and UU Reading www.uukanｓhu.netｔ agreed very openly.

Guoguo asked Zhao Xu, "Brother Zhongzhen, has Baoan found a son-in-law?"

"It's my husband-in-law!" Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Still looking for him."

"Then I'll give her some advice."

"go Go."

After Guoguo left, Zhao Xu pointed at Champa and said, "If Champa can be defeated, will it become the second Jiaozhi?"

"definitely will."

The Southwest breeds miasma and ambition.

"But they couldn't beat the Cochins."

Shen An's tone was so sure that Zhao Xu couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so sure?"

"I just feel like they can't beat them."

Because Jiaozhi is the dominant force in the southwest, except for being dealt with by the Central Plains, it has no rivals.

This has been verified by history, and Shen An is certainly sure of it.

"If you can be sure, I will use this as evidence to refute a group of important ministers during the next court meeting."

"Why are you so excited?" Shen An felt that this was inconsistent with his usual style of not getting involved in government affairs.

Zhao Xu said angrily: "Yesterday, the DPRK and China were discussing the situation in the southwest. Some people said that Su Yan showed his sharpness this time, which made the Champa people wary. They might become the opponents of the Song Dynasty in the future. If there is a war in the southwest, they will definitely take advantage of the situation and sweep them away. Jiaozhi became another rival of the Song Dynasty."

Madan!

Shen An was slightly angry and sneered: "Just follow what you say, if Champa can sweep across Jiaozhi, I will take my wife and children back to Xiongzhou and never be involved in political affairs from now on!"

Those important ministers were afraid that even finding Jiaozhi and Champa on the map would take some effort, so they dared to point out the country and had doubts about Su Yan's achievements.

Then give them a slap.

What Champa swept Cochin?

In the entire Song Dynasty, only Shen An knew one thing: As long as Jiaozhi is willing, Champa will be beaten into a pig's head at any time!
