Chapter 207: Of all the ways, the only way is to take the exam!
Everyone in the family pays attention to rules. When Zhao Shilang returned home, everyone in the family would greet him as long as they were in the front yard. Zhao Jizhou took Shen Yi's sleeve and went to the front yard together. He happened to meet Zhao Changping walking towards him. Zhao Jizhou
Er was extremely honest at the moment, lowering his head and saying: "Dad, you are back."
Shen Yi also bowed his hands and saluted: "I have met my uncle."
Zhao Changping said "hmm" to Zhao Jizhou, then turned to look at Shen Yi with a little surprise in his eyes.
Because Shen Yi was invited by the Zhao family for the first time since he was invited to visit by Zhang Jian, and the next few visits he made were all at the invitation of the Zhao family, and he rarely took the initiative to visit.
Mainly because of the huge disparity in status between the two parties, Shen Yi was unwilling to do the kind of thing of climbing up a pole to climb a high branch.
And every time Shen Yi came to visit, there must be something to deal with.
Zhao Shilang looked at Shen Yi and asked slowly: "Is there something wrong with Qi Lang?"
Shen Yi nodded and said, "There are some things that I need to discuss with my uncle."
"Um."
Minister Zhao nodded again, put his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "Then come to the study with me."
After saying this, he glanced at Zhao Jizhou and said in a deep voice: "Go and tell your mother that there are guests at home. Ask her to prepare two more dishes and eat later. I will discuss the matter with Qilang.
"
Zhao Er usually looks fearless, but he is very afraid of this old father. After hearing these words, he immediately shrank his neck, lowered his head quickly and said: "Yes, I will go find mother right now...
"
After that, the Second Young Master Zhao ran away with his tail between his legs.
Zhao Changping glanced at his youngest son who had escaped, sighed helplessly, then looked back at Shen Yi, and said slowly: "Qilang, just follow me."
Soon, the two of them sat in the Zhao family's study. Zhao Changping still sat in his seat as usual, then pointed to the chair opposite him and motioned for Shen Yi to sit down.
After Shen Yi sat down, Zhao Shilang glanced at Shen Yi and asked, "Is there something wrong with the provincial examination?"
Shen Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "There are still more than ten days and a half before the results of the provincial examination are released. What can go wrong now? It's just that something else happened temporarily..."
Having said this, Shen Yi paused, lowered his head to sort out his words, and then continued: "Uncle, it's like this, there is a young master in Jiankang City, his surname is Chen, his name is Chen Shang..."
Hearing this, before Shen Yi could ask further, Zhao Changping frowned and said, "Chen Shang...the grandson of Chen Shilang, the grandson of Prime Minister Yang, what happened to him?"
Hearing what Zhao Changping said, even Shen Yi couldn't help but admire him.
You know, even a yamen like Zhao Jizhou, who spends all day in Jiankang eating and waiting to die, can't think of Chen Shang for a while, but Zhao Shilang, who usually handles everything in the household department, only hears one name.
, let’s explain Chen Shang’s origin clearly.
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said, "He committed a crime."
For smart people, some things don't need to be explained so clearly. Shen Yi only mentioned this briefly, and Zhao Shilang looked up at Shen Yi and asked slowly: "About Di Bao?"
Shen Yi nodded.
"The materials sent by the Di Newspaper Department yesterday contained many evil deeds of Chen Shang. My nephew did not know the origin of Mr. Chen Shang before, but because the Di Newspaper had never written about these things, my nephew
I went to my uncle's house and asked Brother Jizhou."
Zhao Changping has two sons. To distinguish them, Shen Yi can only call them this way.
"Well."
After Zhao Shilang made a sound with unknown meaning,
He sat in his seat, lowered his head and thought for a long time. After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Shen Yi, and said slowly: "About Chen Shang, don't write about it for now, just put it aside for a while..."
Minister Zhao lowered his eyebrows and said, "This matter is too heavy for you. You may not be able to carry it."
Shen Yi sat opposite Zhao Shilang and said with a wry smile: "Uncle, this is an errand entrusted to your nephew by your majesty. You cannot disobey your orders..."
"No one can destroy people like this."
Zhao Shilang looked serious: "Do you know who Prime Minister Yang is? He was the prime minister who had been in Zhongshu for more than ten years! After the death of the late emperor, he was the prime minister who had been in charge of the government for almost six years!"
He said slowly: "Even His Majesty has to use a series of means to test his attitude and does not dare to take action easily."
"It was a test for Jiangdu's grain merchants before, and now I ask you to write this Di newspaper. It's also a test."
Zhao Jizhou looked at Shen Yi and said slowly: "Qilang, you are from Jiangdu. You should have experienced the skyrocketing food prices in Jiangdu. Even if you haven't experienced it, you should have heard about it."
"Where are those grain merchants in Jiangdu who were used to test Prime Minister Yang?"
Shen Yi was speechless.
Among the grain merchants, the Ma Yuanwai family, headed by Ma Yuanwai, had already gone to Lingnan to enjoy their fortune.
Zhao Shilang glanced at Shen Yi and continued: "The grain merchants in Jiangdu are testing, and you are also testing now. Don't think that just writing a few issues of Di's newspaper for His Majesty and a few poems in Jiankang means you are really good.
Jiankang is a famous person."
"In front of a behemoth like Yang Xiang..."
Having said this, Minister Zhao let out a breath and did not continue.
"In short, you don't want to do this for the time being. If the Di newspaper office doesn't urge you to submit the manuscript, just don't submit it for the time being. After the Di newspaper office urges you twice, I will personally go to the palace to speak to Your Majesty on your behalf.
Explain."
Yang Jingzong is a ferocious tiger.
It's just that this tiger is a little old now.
However, the aging King of Beasts is sometimes even more terrifying, because at this time, if anyone dares to provoke it, in order to maintain its status and maintain its apparent strength, it will spare no effort to inflict pain on the offending enemy.
Killer to show off his remaining power!
Shen Yi had never been to the court, and he still didn't understand how powerful a prime minister who had been a prime minister for more than ten years and held the country for nearly six years had a powerful influence, but Zhao Changping knew it very well.
He stopped Shen Yi without hesitation.
Shen Yi took a deep breath, stood up and bowed his head respectfully to Minister Zhao: "Thank you so much, uncle. My nephew has taken note of all your teachings."
"Um."
Zhao Changping looked at Shen Yi and said in a rather pleased tone: "I wish you could listen to my advice. In the past six months, you have been too eager for quick success."
"When doing things in the court, you can certainly get some benefits by trying to please His Majesty, but you won't get far in the court by blindly trying to please him."
Minister Zhao spoke with sincerity and sincerity.
"What's more important is how much you can do for the court. At your age, you are most likely to be blinded by immediate interests. uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com You must clearly see every step in front of you."
"You recognize His Majesty, but His Majesty may not recognize you."
Zhao Changping lowered his eyebrows and said, "For example, this time, he said he would treat you as a pawn for testing, so he treated you as a pawn."
"And it's not just you."
Zhao Shilang said quietly: "You are from the academy. If you are involved in this matter, our academy may also be involved and become His Majesty's tool to deal with Yang Xiang. The twists and turns are too complicated."
Duo, if I tell you now, you won’t be able to understand it for a while. Anyway, just remember what my uncle said.”
Shen Yi stood up and bowed his head respectfully.
"Please teach me, uncle."
"For you now, the most important thing is to take exams and gain fame. Apart from that, there is nothing else."
Shen Yi lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "My nephew didn't want to be successful. He just guessed that since His Majesty wants to touch Prime Minister Yang, our academy might..."
"The factional fighting in the court has nothing to do with you."
Zhao Changping looked serious.
"At least it has nothing to do with you now, do you understand?"
Shen Yi nodded sincerely and accepted the instruction.
