Shen Yi was not prepared to hide the matter from Master Lu, and in fact he could not hide it from Master Lu.
This is his mentor and his supporter in the court for some time to come.
From a political or academic level, the relationship between two people can even be sublimated from a master-student relationship to a "father-son relationship" because the master-student relationship between two people cannot be broken away or shaken off.
Shen Yi sat across from Mr. Lu and gave an overview of his thoughts about the Di News Department. Then he said slowly: "Teacher, if a student enters an official position according to the ordinary path, he should observe the government in the six departments and wait for the distribution of the officials.
, even if you are lucky enough to enter the Hanlin Academy and become a Hanlin official, you will need to endure at least seven or eight years or even more than ten years before you can have some ability to do things."
"If you are unlucky and are assigned to a local area, based on the student's performance, there is a high probability that he will start from the county magistrate of a middle county. By then, it will probably take more than ten years for a smooth journey from the county to the prefecture to the province.
, so that you can do something for the imperial court."
"And if a student takes charge of the Di's Reporting Department, he can immediately do things for the court."
Master Lu looked calm and said in a deep voice: "You are only seventeen years old this year. According to what you said, if you wait for more than ten years, that is, you will be in your early thirties, your character should have calmed down by then.
, just suitable to work for the imperial court."
Master Lu looked at Shen Yi and sighed slightly: "My teacher has also been in his youth. What are you young people thinking? My teacher knows very well that you, Shen Ziheng, are only seventeen years old this year. For you,
, it takes more than ten years, which is too long, you are eager to make meritorious deeds and do things."
"You want to show off your skills, don't you?"
Master Lu looked at Shen Yi and shook his head slightly: "You also know that the serious civil service path is the right path. Since it is the right path, it is the experience of countless seniors who have practiced it. Although walking on the right path is slow, it is steady."
"Brother Changping told me about the Diji Newspaper Department you created. He said that the Dishi Newspaper Department is currently in charge of the palace's eunuchs."
Mr. Lu frowned: "Moreover, it's just an errand to print the Di Di newspaper. Even if you can say something, in the final analysis, what is printed in this Di Di newspaper is not what you Shen Ziheng wants to say. It can only be what His Majesty wants to say. You can't do it."
I am in charge of the Di’s Reporting Department, but I don’t see what I can do for the imperial court.”
"One can't do it well..."
Master Lu looked calm: "It will also ruin your reputation."
Shen Yi accepted the teaching humbly. He lowered his head slightly and said with a smile: "I have actually thought about what my mentor said. I said some heartfelt words to my mentor. If the court is now stable, I, Chen Guo, will make the people rich.
Then after a student becomes a Jinshi, he will immediately follow the right path mentioned by his teacher. If possible, the student can stay in some Qingshui Yamen for the rest of his life."
"But the country is not stable."
Shen Yi sighed and said: "Teacher, you know the affairs of the court better than me. You should know that the court has been in a state of decline since the late emperor's defeat in the Huaihe River. The affairs of the court have been controlled by Yang Jingzong and other cowards. My mentor.
It was also because of this incident that I became disheartened and returned to Jiangdu to study."
"Now, the new monarch has not been in power for a long time and is forging ahead. This is Chen Guo's last chance."
Shen Yi said silently: "If this time, the imperial court still can't straighten its spine, can't raise its head to face Qi people, and can't make those Qi people suffer and suffer losses, then it doesn't take much..."
Shen Yi said in a deep voice: "It only takes two or three major defeats. Most of today's new kings will be like the late emperor, who gave up the idea of looking north and shrank their heads. They only want to stay in peace in the south of the Yangtze River and want to be rich and noble."
"Your Majesty is only seventeen years old this year."
Shen Yi exhaled a breath: "If he loses his spirit, the court may be mute for ten, twenty, or even thirty or forty years!"
"Both generations can't hold their heads up."
"And Chen Guo, can he still hold on for forty years..."
Shen Yi lowered his head and said nothing: "My teacher should know this better than me."
Shen Yi's words are reasonable and well-founded.
This is not that he was bragging in front of Master Lu, but a problem that he had really thought about in private. According to Shen Yi's estimation of the current world situation, if in the current emperor's generation, that is, the Hongde Dynasty, Chen Guo failed to complete the strategy
If the status changes, then Chen Guo's national destiny will come to an end.
Even if the Chen Kingdom did not die in the Hongde Dynasty, at most it would be one or two generations later and the country would be gone.
When future generations remember this period of history, they may say this.
Nanchen's name was attributed to someone, but his actual death was attributed to Hongde.
And Shen Yi also thought about himself and the future of the Shen family.
He has now completed his personal class transition, and from now on he will be the civil servant of Chen State.
Not only him, but his future sons, daughters, and even grandsons will become the upper class of the Chen Kingdom and become the so-called "gentry".
And if Shen Yi continues to live comfortably like this, maybe forty years later when his descendants are full, a military disaster from the north will completely destroy the Shen family.
He watched helplessly as his children and grandchildren became the "lowly prisoners of the country's subjugation" as written in the petition.
The things recorded in the book "Yan Wen" are still vivid in Shen Yi's mind.
When these barbarians commit evil, they are no different from animals.
What is even more frightening is that the one who will destroy the Chen Kingdom decades later may not be the now weak and "Chinese" Northern Qi in the north, but it may be a more ferocious and cruel alien race in the north.
As a man of two generations, Shen Yi always feels that he should do something for this era. At the very least, he cannot let the things recorded in "Yan Wen" reappear, and he cannot let one day, the women in Jiankang City also experience what they experienced sixty years ago.
The hell on earth in Yandu.
Master Lu was silent for a long time before he sighed: "But what can the Di newspaper department do?"
"There is a lot that Di News Department can do."
Shen Yi said with a smile: "Even the newly founded Di Newspaper Division already has some ability to collect intelligence. In the future, after the students take over the Di Newspaper Division, they will try their best to expand the yamen. One day, the Di Newspaper Division will become the most important one in the imperial court.
One of the helpers…”
He looked at Master Lu and said in a deep voice: "Teacher, my student has to do more than just be a newspaper secretary. There will be more things to do in the future, but a journey of thousands of miles begins with a single step. There must be a beginning."
"The Di News Department is the beginning of students."
What I have to say is that Shen Yi's eloquence is good.
Master Lu was even touched by his words. This old angry young man from Chen State sat in his seat, looked at Shen Yi, and sighed softly: "In the future, if Zi Heng can really accomplish something for the court, he will be my teacher."
In the future, when you go underground, you will also smile."
He looked at Shen Yi and asked, "When will Ziheng return to Jiankang?"
Shen Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, then replied: "It is expected that in five or six days, after handling the family affairs, he will leave for Jiankang."
"good."
Master Lu touched his palm and said, "When the time comes, come to the academy to pick me up. I will go with you to Jiankang to walk around and meet Brother Changping for you."
He looked at Shen Yi with a smile on his face.
"As long as you have this heart, the academy will help you in whatever way it can."
Shen Yi was overjoyed when he heard this.
My teacher, I am going to Jiankang to pave the way for myself!
He took a deep breath and bowed respectfully to Mr. Lu.
