After the gathering of scholars, Chen Ping returned to Hufu.
Through this event, Chen Ping's reputation has improved a lot. In the past, when he did not participate in production work at home, he would be criticized by his neighbors, but after returning from Xianyang, no one questioned him anymore.
Originally, many people complained about Zhang Fu's move to marry his granddaughter to Chen Ping, but now not many people question it anymore.
The world's grand gathering has been over for some time.
Many people thought that Chen Ping would take advantage of this opportunity to soar to the sky, but more than a year later, Chen Ping remained the same as before, without any changes. At first, officials in Hufuyi also invited Chen Ping to become an official, but after being declined several times, he also
He never talked to Chen Ping again.
Recently.
Rumors in Hufuyi came out again.
It was widely rumored in the countryside that Chen Ping was arrogant and looked down on the official positions provided by the county. In the end, he directly angered the county magistrate, and no one dared to recommend him as an official anymore.
Chen Ping had naturally heard about the rumors from the outside world, but he did not comment.
inside the house.
Chen Ping holds a piece of bamboo.
There was a flash of hesitation and hesitation in his eyes.
aside.
Zhang negative said in a deep voice:
"Chen Ping, I know you are unhappy, but staying at home is not the answer."
"You will eventually become an official."
"You were a blockbuster at the last gathering of scholars, but it has been more than a year since the gathering of scholars, and the situation in the world has also changed a lot. Now the Qin Dynasty has changed its normal situation and begun to recruit soldiers from various places. Now there are young and strong people everywhere.
Yi Dong, you should also seize this opportunity, and you have an old relationship with the Tenth Young Master, so if you write a letter, you may not be able to reuse it."
"I know."
"You used to have scruples, worried that if you rush into office, it would affect your future."
"My vision is not as far-sighted as yours, but from my point of view, Great Qin is still very stable, especially this tenth son, who is even more courageous. He not only dares to risk the disapproval of the world, but also dares to be the first in the world."
"This man can be a hero!"
Zhang Fu advised from the side.
When Chen Ping's family was poor, he fell in love with him and married his granddaughter to Chen Ping. With the help of the Zhang family, Chen Ping's family gradually improved. Although it was not rich, at least he had enough food and clothing. If Chen Ping was willing
Go do something to supplement your family's income. The situation at home is actually quite prosperous.
Chen Ping put down the bamboo pieces.
Nodding and saying:
"It is true what the Father said."
"There are rumors spreading all over the outside world now."
"I, Chen Ping, am a humble student. How can I be so arrogant?"
"The magistrate of Hukou County did recommend me, but he only gave me a false position, hoping to use it to gain a reputation as a respected official. Although I, Chen Ping, have a low status, I really don't want to take such an unappreciated official position.
"
"I already have some understanding of Qin Ting's changes this time."
"If I guess correctly, this handwriting should be from the Tenth Young Master."
"I have gotten to know the Tenth Young Master to some extent. He is indeed an extraordinary person. He has experienced a lot in these years and has probably grown up a lot. Now the Tenth Young Master is in charge of the Secretary's Office and has been involved in the war in the South China Sea.
Stabilize the power of the eldest son."
"If you become an official..."
"In fact, I will only choose the Tenth Young Master!"
Hear the words.
Zhang Fu's eyes lit up.
The reason why he came to Chen Ping's house from time to time was to persuade Chen Ping not to hesitate.
He knew that Chen Ping was so talented that he would not have married his granddaughter to Chen Ping back then. However, Chen Ping has never been an official, which also gave Zhang Fu some headaches. Over the years, he has been accused a lot behind his back, and he has some resentment in his heart.
Now that he heard Chen Ping say the word "official career", he felt happy.
Chen Ping said calmly:
"Uncle, the reason why I didn't want to serve as an official before was not because I was arrogant, but because the current situation in the world was unclear. If I rush to become an official, if I make the wrong choice, I will probably be thrown into jail."
"The founding of the Qin Dynasty was still short, and the nobles of the six countries wanted to restore it."
"There must be another dispute between the two!"
"And this is meant to be!"
"It is precisely with these considerations in mind that I dare not become an official rashly. If I serve the Qin Dynasty, with the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, once I lose, I will collapse instantly, and I may not be able to escape by then. If I help the nobles of the six countries, Qin will
The bravery of the army is known all over the world. If the nobles of the six countries cannot unite as one this time, they may repeat the same mistakes as in the past."
"When......"
"One wrong move and you lose everything!"
"There are so many famous people participating in the gathering of scholars? But how many of them have my uncle heard from in the past two years? Most of them are like me. They either continue to stay at home or remain anonymous, waiting for the world situation to change."
Zhang Fu frowned.
Ning Sheng said:
"Then why do you have the idea of becoming an official now?"
Chen Ping took a deep breath.
He solemnly said:
"Actually, I still don't want to become an official."
"The current situation is unclear. If you leave your job early, you will bear a lot of risks."
"But I also have a hunch that if I don't leave my job in advance, it may be difficult to gain trust again."
"and......"
"Great Qin has changed."
"Most of this change comes from these ten young masters."
"If we continue to let this young master continue to behave, I am afraid that the variables expected by many people will become less and less. When the tenth young master is established as the crown prince, it may not be that easy to take refuge in him."
"How can the icing on the cake be better than giving help when it is timely?"
Zhang Negative said in confusion:
"Why do you need help in times of need?"
"You have already said that these ten young masters are now in charge of a company and have placed their own people in the army. They are very proud of themselves. So why is there a crisis that requires your help?"
The corners of Chen Ping's mouth raised slightly.
He said calmly:
"have!"
"The Tenth Young Master is short of men under his command!"
"Has your eldest father ever known Shangshusi?"
Zhang Fu nodded, then glanced at Chen Ping a few times, then quickly shook his head.
Said: "I just heard a few things."
Chen Ping said indifferently:
"Many of the officials, big and small, in the Shangshu Division were from Guanzhong clans, but Shangshu Pushe was originally a man named Gu. This man was different from the other officials. He was born in Guanzhong, but his family background was ordinary, and he eventually became Shangshu Pushe.
Shoot, secondly, there is another person named Li Sheng in the Shangshu Division, and later there is Zheng Ru. These two people are from the six places and one lineage."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Is there any problem with this?" Zhang Fu asked puzzledly.
Chen Ping smiled.
Affirmed:
"have!"
"Although we are far away in Wei, we have also heard that the people behind the Tenth Young Master are the Guanzhong clan. The Shangshu Department is obviously the official office directly under the Tenth Young Master. Under normal circumstances, the official office should be dominated by the Guanzhong clan, but what about the Tenth Young Master?
made?"
"The original Shang Shu Pushe was Gu, but later he was replaced by Huayao, who was very close to the Tenth Young Master. From the beginning to the end, the Tenth Young Master never thought about changing to the more capable Audience clan."
"This is enough to explain one thing."
"The Tenth Young Master doesn't want to be too controlled by the Guanzhong clan."
"What he wants is a balancing act."
"But the Tenth Young Master lacks people from the six regions and one lineage."
"And I come from Wei!"
Hear the words.
Zhang Fu was thoughtful.
Immediately, Zhang Fu looked at Chen Ping, as if he had guessed something.
Asked: "Do you want to go to Shangshusi?"
Chen Ping nodded.
He said: "I am not good at military matters. Although many people think that the current war in the South China Sea is just a waste of military honors, in my opinion, entering the army is not as useful as entering the Shangshu Department."
"Why is this? Zhang Fu asked.
Chen Pingdao:
"Although the Tenth Young Master intends to interfere in the military affairs, the First Emperor is still here, so the scope of the Tenth Young Master's intervention is always limited."
"Even if I get military honors, I will just change my position as an official in the end. Instead of doing that, it is better to go directly to the Shangshusi. Now the Shangshusi is indeed a famous organization but without much real power. But don't forget it, eldest father.
This is the official office built by the Tenth Young Master himself."
"If the Tenth Young Master gains power, will the tide lift all boats?"
"and......"
"Loyalty is found in times of crisis."
"Most of the scholars born in the six places fall in love with the eldest son."
"If I apply for the job at this time, I will definitely gain the attention of the Tenth Young Master. The Secretary of the Secretariat has a heavy task at the moment. If I can solve various problems at this time, it will better highlight my talents. After all, even if the Tenth Young Master wants to use officials from six places to go
To balance the Guanzhong clan, we must want to use capable people."
"Nowadays, there are only a handful of officials from the six places in the Shangshu Division. Those who join them first will undoubtedly have an advantage."
Hear the words.
Zhang Nie's heart moved slightly.
He said in a deep voice:
"Now that you have made a decision, let it follow your heart."
Chen Ping nodded.
He said with his hands behind his back: "I thought that the world would fall into chaos soon, and then it would turn from chaos to order, but no one expected that the Qin Dynasty would be so ever-changing, which made many people's ideas come to nothing."
"But that's okay."
"Most people in the world think that if they don't fly, they will soar into the sky."
"But I forgot to use Qianlong."
"I blindly wait for the world to be in chaos, and have been deliberately 'lurking', but I don't know that this wastes time and money. In the end, people die, but they still can't come out. In this way, even if you have talents from all over the world, but you can't use them, what's the use?"
"Taoism says: He who governs a big country is like cooking small delicacies."
"The truth is very simple. If you can't do it, no matter how much you know, it will be useless."
"I used to consider myself a famous person in the world and aspired to soar to the sky, but after hearing about Kuai Che, I gradually understood that opportunities should be earned by oneself rather than waiting for rewards from God."
"I have decided to become an official!"
Chen Ping strengthened his belief.
He was originally not determined about becoming an official.
Until Kuai Che was mentioned on the bamboo slip, Kuai Che is now over fifty years old. If he guessed correctly, Kuai Che was probably one of the celebrities selected for the scholar ceremony. Such a celebrity would have to take chestnuts from the fire to condense twenty

courage.
It is also a kind of wisdom!
Zhang Fu said: "How are you going to do it?"
Chen Ping thought for a moment.
He said slowly: "At the last gathering of scholars, I got some pieces of paper, but I have never used them. Now it's time to take them out and write a letter to the Tenth Young Master."
Zhang Fu asked doubtfully: "Can this letter really get into the hands of the Tenth Young Master?"
There was some doubt in Zhang Fu's eyes.
Chen Ping smiled.
said:
"It will definitely be delivered."
"Although the Secretary has gone to Chaoge, there is still an official office in Xianyang. As long as the Tenth Young Master still thinks about balance, he will definitely ask about the Secretary's information from time to time, because he needs someone to submit his information!"
