Zhang Jian’s teacher, Zhao Changping, the Minister of Household Affairs!
If Shen Yi's teacher Lu Anshi is the elder hidden in the rural academy, then the Minister of Household Affairs is the real elder in the court.
The level of Minister of the Sixth Department is already considered as a high-ranking official in the court. Especially the Ministers of the upper three departments, that is, the three departments of Li, Li, and Hu, have the greatest potential, because these three Ministers can potentially enter the imperial court in one step.
Zhongshu worships the prime minister!
"The Point Guard Is Here"
Especially the Minister of Rites, many prime ministers have stepped up from the position of Minister of Rites to the central government. The Minister of Rites can be called the "preserver prime minister".
And now, this Minister of Household Affairs... wants to see him?
Shen Yi silently raised his head, looked at Zhang Jian, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Senior brother, you said last time that I will not be able to meet my senior uncle until I pass the imperial examination."
Zhang Jian has a humorous temperament. Hearing this, he winked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Junior brother came second in the Jiankang Academy examination. Is it possible that he won the exam or is it something difficult?"
Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "Senior brother, others don't know, but I still know myself. My knowledge is here. It's okay to be a scholar, but it is not very easy to be a scholar."
As he said that, Shen Yi turned around and looked at the bookshelf in Liquan Building, and said with a wry smile: "No, I still feel guilty after being selected as a scholar, so I came here specifically to look through the books."
"What's there to feel guilty about?"
Zhang Jian looked calm and said calmly: "Your fame is your ability."
He smiled mysteriously at Shen Yi: "Your senior brother, I passed the boy examination at the age of fourteen, passed the imperial examination at the age of eighteen, and won the Jinshi at the age of twenty-two. Everyone in Jiankang City calls me a child prodigy. Is it possible that I
Is he really some kind of prodigy?”
Shen Yi looked at Zhang Jian with wide eyes and said nothing for a long time.
Zhang Xianzun patted Shen Yi on the shoulder with a smile and said with a smile: "Don't worry, brother Wei is not cheating. I have been studying since I was a child. Although my knowledge is not great, I have some knowledge. However, if I came from a peasant family, I would probably be more knowledgeable now."
That is to say, he is a scholar who can lift people up."
"The key to this is that you will gradually understand it when you enter officialdom in the future."
After saying this, Zhang Jian patted Shen Yi on the shoulder and said slowly: "I have finally finished the errands of the household department recently. The teacher will have a rest tomorrow. You will wait for me at Liquan Building tomorrow afternoon and I will take you to the teacher's house.
How about visiting the teacher?"
Seeing Shen Yi's hesitation, Zhang Xianzun's face became serious and he said: "My teacher and your teacher are good friends in the same class, and they are also close friends in the same year. Up to now, the two of them have written letters incessantly. After I arrived in Jiangdu, I didn't even have a government official."
When you go to see me, you immediately go to the academy to visit Master Lu. After you arrive in Jiankang, shouldn’t you go and see my master?”
It wasn't that Shen Yi didn't want to meet Zhao Shilang, but he felt that since he was of low status, it might not be appropriate to meet him. After hearing what Zhang Jian said, there was naturally no room for refusal. He nodded silently and said: "Okay, tomorrow
At noon, I will wait for my senior brother here."
"good."
Zhang Jian smiled at Shen Yi: "On weekdays, after my teacher returns home from work, it is difficult for ordinary people to see him. Junior brother, you are an exception."
The two junior brothers chatted a few more words, then Zhang Jian got up and left, and Shen Yi continued to study in Liquan Building.
In the afternoon of the next day, the two met downstairs at Liquan Tower. Zhang Jian jumped on a carriage, and then pulled Shen Yi on. The carriage started slowly and drove towards the residence of Minister Zhao.
There were many people coming and going in Jiankang City, including carriages, carts, and various means of transportation. There was a bit of congestion when passing the carriage. It took about half an hour for the carriage to stop at the main entrance of Minister Zhao.
Zhang Jian jumped out of the carriage first, then took Shen Yi with him and strode towards the gate of Zhao Mansion.
The servants of the Zhao Mansion obviously recognized Zhang Jian. After seeing Zhang Jian, they all bowed their heads and called "Master Zhang" and let Zhang Jian in without any obstruction.
Shen Yi followed Zhang Jian and couldn't help but sigh: "Senior brother, you are so proud."
"It's not that I have a lot of face,
It’s me who is thick-skinned.”
As Zhang Jian walked, he smiled and whispered: "The teacher agreed to come to my house to teach me because of his grandfather's face. He didn't like me to some extent, but I was thick-skinned, and the teacher was called "teacher".
When I grew up, I would visit his home every three days, carrying some things. As time went by, he gradually started to like me."
Mr. Zhang Xianzun was holding something in both hands. He showed Shen Yi the gifts he was carrying and smiled: "The teacher's son is not living up to expectations. In a few years, my relationship with him will be better. He said
Maybe you can give me a share of the family fortune."
"..."
Zhang Jian was obviously very familiar with the terrain of Zhao's house, as if it were his own home. He led Shen Yi to the left and right of the house, and asked several servants of the Zhao family. After confirming that Zhao Changping was in the study, he led Shen Yi straight to the house.
He ran to the study and knocked on the door of the study.
"Teacher, I'll take Junior Brother Shen to see you come."
Although Zhang Jian has a humorous temperament, he is now a bit more honest. After saying this, he waited obediently at the door and did not urge him again.
After a while, a calm and calm voice came from inside.
"Come in."
Zhang Jian opened the door and walked in with a smile, while Shen Yi took a deep breath, followed Zhang Jian and stepped into Zhao Shilang's study.
This is... the Minister of the Sixth Department.
Before this, Shen Yi had not had any contact with any high-ranking officials. The biggest official he had ever met and spoken to was Chen Yu, the prefect of Jiangdu.
Although Chen Yu was a fourth-rank official, and Zhao Changping, the minister, was only a third-rank official, and the official rank difference between the two was only one rank, uukanshu www.uukanshu.com, but the authority of the two people could be said to be worlds apart.
Even if Chen Yu was standing in front of Minister Zhao now, he would probably be respectful.
Finally, Shen Yi followed Zhang Jian to Zhao Changping's study. Zhang Jian was familiar with the road and put the two paper bags he was carrying on the table beside him. He smiled at Zhao Changping and said, "Teacher, here you go."
I bought pastries from Qingsupu."
Zhao Changping seemed to be writing a letter at the moment. After hearing Zhang Jian's words, he didn't even raise his eyelids and still lowered his head to write.
Shen Yi took this opportunity to take a look at Zhao Changping.
This Minister Zhao has a few beards and a dignified appearance, which shows that he was also a handsome guy when he was young.
After a quick glance, Shen Yi bowed his head respectfully and saluted the Minister of Revenue.
"Shen Yi, Jiangdu, pays homage to Master Zhao."
At this time, it is definitely inappropriate to call Zhao Shilang. Only by calling him uncle can he appear closer.
After hearing Shen Yi's "strange" voice, Zhao Changping put down the brush in his hand. He looked at the young man in front of him who was bowing respectfully, nodded slightly, and asked: "Jizhong...has he accepted you as his student?"
Shen Yi still lowered his head and replied: "Back to my uncle, Master Lu privately accepted me as a student. However, the student had no reputation at the time, so the matter was not made public. After the provincial examination in Jiankang this year,
Regardless of whether they pass or fail, the students will go back to formally become teachers."
"Since Jizhong has accepted you as a student, you are now one of our own."
Minister Zhao pointed to a chair in the study room and spoke in a calm voice.
"Just sit down and talk."
