Shen Yi wrote the three policy essays very carefully.
Because compared to essays, in subsequent provincial examinations and general examinations, the subject of policy theory is far more important than essays.
To use the original words of a certain rural examination examiner, if the essays are good but the strategies are mediocre, they are desirable or not; if the essays are mediocre and the strategies are good, then they are indispensable.
The reason why there is such a trend in the Dachen Examination Center is mainly because it appeared after the southern crossing.
Before crossing to the south, Da Chen's scientific research paid more attention to menstrual blood, succession and turning points, and the essence of sages. However, after crossing to the south, it gradually began to focus more on practical strategies.
Nowadays, most of the fame in the world comes from strategies.
Shen Yi only wrote the three essays for a day and a half, but he revised and revised these three essays until almost noon on the third morning before they were completely finished. Just as Shen was transcribing the policy essays in the study, he After a few days of silence, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard again.
Shen Yi rubbed his painful eyebrows, put down the brush in his hand, and walked towards the door of his courtyard. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a purple sedan parked at the door of his house. In front of the sedan, there was a purple eunuch named Jing Jing. Stand quietly.
Shen Yi quickly stepped forward, bowed his head to the eunuch in purple and said, "I have met Eunuch Gao."
Gao Ming looked Shen Yi up and down, and then smiled dumbly: "What's wrong with Mr. Shen? Why are you in such a mess?"
Shen Yi's appearance was indeed a bit unsightly at this moment.
In the past three days, he has been writing policy papers at home. Because of his trance, his hands and even his face were stained with ink, especially on his clothes, which were already stained with ink.
Because he didn't know who was knocking outside, he didn't clean up and went out directly.
Hearing Eunuch Gao's question, Shen Yi realized that he was a little embarrassed, and immediately smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, father-in-law, I have been preparing for exams and studying strategies at home during this period. I have been obsessed with writing these days, so I made some There are ink marks on my body, just now my father-in-law knocked on the door, but before I could think about it carefully, I came out and opened the door."
Shen Qilang added: "If he knew it was his father-in-law who was coming, Shen Yi would have changed his clothes anyway..."
Gao Ming shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. It's a good thing that the young master is obsessed with learning."
After saying that, he looked at Shen Yi's yard and said with a smile: "Master, don't you invite us to come in and sit down?"
Shen Yi quickly got out of the way and invited Eunuch Gao into the house. After entering the courtyard, he led Eunuch Gao to sit in the main hall of the living room. After the two of them sat down one by one, Shen Yi looked at Gao Ming, lowered his head slightly and said, "Eunuch If you have something to do, ask someone to come and bring a message, and I will go and pay my respects naturally. How can I, a common man, afford my father-in-law to visit me twice?"
Eunuch Gao's status is very high.
He is the chief eunuch beside the emperor. Although there is no system in Dachen where eunuchs wear red clothes, and there is no such thing as an internal minister, the high eunuch also controls more than ten or twenty yamen in the palace, and he is also the emperor's The people around me usually have a lot of authority, and they can almost be called half internal ministers.
The last time, when Shen Yi was in Prince Jin's Mansion, Gao Ming had already visited him once.
"Our family lives in the palace. It might not be easy for someone to bring the young master into the palace."
Gao Ming looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Besides, His Majesty asked our family to come here this time. As slaves like us, after hearing the order, we naturally want to come here for a trip."
The eunuch had a kind smile, and at first glance, he looked like a soft-spoken, approachable middle-aged man.
But Shen Yi knew very well that people who could reach the position of eunuch in the palace were almost without exception ruthless people. The smart man in front of him would definitely not be a good person.
He lowered his head slightly and said, "If your Majesty has any instructions, please let me know."
Eunuch Gao habitually touched the few sparse beards on his chin, then looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said, Mr. Shen, your first issue of the Di newspaper was very well written and had a great influence in the capital. Therefore, I ask you to write the manuscript for the second issue of Di Bao within half a month and send it to the palace."
"ah?"
Shen Yi was stunned.
He looked at Gao Ming with wide eyes and pointed at himself in disbelief.
“Father-in-law, you want me to write the second issue of this newspaper?”
In Shen Yi's own opinion, this is absolutely impossible.
Even the ruling class of this world, or to put it more simply, even if the little emperor is too stupid, after seeing the first edition of Di Bao go on sale, he should be able to realize the power of Di Bao, and at this time, the Little Emperor should Place your own cronies in the court, or simply let domestic slaves in the palace continue to handle the affairs of the palace.
But no matter what, it is impossible for this job to fall into Shen Yi's hands again.
Shen Yi himself had never counted on this. He originally just wanted to use Di Bao to become familiar with the emperor, so that he could "find a job" in the court in the future. Now the first issue of Di Bao has just been released. How long did it take for Miyazato to let himself write a second issue?
Seeing Shen Yi's dazed expression, Eunuch Gao smiled and said, "This time, Mr. Shen, you are not the only one to write it. After you finish writing it, hand it over, and someone in the palace will naturally choose the best ones to record."
After hearing this, Shen Yi finally understood.
What the palace means is that this time, he is not the only one to contribute to the palace, and in addition to these contributors, the palace will also have "editors" to review or accept the content.
While Shen Yi was thinking, Eunuch Gao said quietly: "In half a month, Mr. Shen will hand in the manuscript for the second issue. Is there no problem?"
"If it is normal, there will be no problem, but my father-in-law may not know that I have recently hired a teacher in the capital and am preparing for the provincial examination. There are only about four months left before the provincial examination. I am afraid that I do not have the time and energy. Get rid of distractions…”
"You are confused."
Gao Ming looked at Shen Yi and said calmly: "Why did the young master take the exam? Isn't it just to study and become an official if you are excellent? After completing your studies, you can serve your Majesty and the imperial court?"
"Now His Majesty's decree has come here. Mr. Shen, you have done the errands for His Majesty. In the future, Jane will be in the Emperor's heart. No matter how many provincial examinations can't change it, let's talk about it..."
Gao Ming smiled and said: "Sir, you have done some errands for His Majesty. The provincial examinations and so on are just trivial things."
What he meant was that Shen Yi would do a good job for the emperor. Once the emperor was happy, he might open a backdoor for Shen Yi in the provincial examination...
After saying this, Eunuch Gao clapped his hands gently.
Outside Shen Yi's house, two little girls, dressed in light colored clothes, who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old, walked in. Indeed, only two of them were left.
After the two little girls entered the house, they first bowed their heads to Eunuch Gao in a gentle voice and said, "I've met my father-in-law."
After saying this, the two little girls looked up at Shen Yi again, their faces turned red again, and they lowered their heads: "I've seen the young master."
Eunuch Gao looked at Shen Yi with a smile and said with a smile: "Master Shen lives here alone, so he will inevitably feel a little lonely. These are the two maids your Majesty has given you to take care of your daily life."
As he spoke, Gao Ming glanced at the two palace maids lightly.
The two palace maids, without saying a word, knelt down to Shen Yi and kowtowed devoutly.
"My servant Qing'er, kowtow to the young master."
The other one also knelt down, maybe it was rehearsed in advance, and the two little girls spoke in unison.
"My servant Ping'er, kowtow to the young master..."
I recommend a book by an old friend, "The God of Financial Live Broadcasting". It turns out it is also about history. If you are interested, you can take a look...
