"Although it may be easier to become an official, whether it is for yourself or to complete Dongchen's mission, you can only choose a place to make political achievements and then enter the center.
Only in this way can talents be quickly cultivated with the support of the court's luck, and even if one has a good reputation, one can be promoted quickly."
While thinking in his mind, Chen Hongyu already had a choice. As for answering the question, it was not difficult for him.
After answering the questions and handing in the paper in advance, Chen Hongyu walked straight towards the bookstore.
He is not like other students. A quarterly exam can affect his mood. At this time, he can still study with peace of mind.
Just three days later, the results of the quarterly examination came out. As expected, Chen Hongyu ranked first and was summoned by the leader of the school.
In a small pavilion in the academy, Sima Xun sat calmly on a stone bench, looking at Chen Hongyu who was neither humble nor overbearing, but calm and composed opposite, and secretly praised in his heart.
As an important member of the imperial court, he is about to enter the Privy Council, and his bearing is extraordinary. Even a student who has achieved the title of being a scholar, but under the influence of his Confucianism, Taoism and official position, still find it difficult to be so calm and composed.
But the Xu Ping in front of him was just a child, and he could be so calm.
"Okay! Very good!" Sima Xun looked carefully and could see the talent working in Chen Hongyu's body and his strong body.
"It has only been a while, but he has achieved such a level of cultivation. He is worthy of being Panshi's nephew."
"Mr. Qingzhu is so complimentary." Chen Hongyu bowed and said.
Sima Xun, the leader of the Minglian School, named himself Qingzhu, which means he has a tougher character than Qingzhu.
At this time, it was also a meeting between the elders of the school and the younger ones, and there was no need to use the etiquette used to treat important court officials to communicate.
"I hope you can maintain this kind of magnanimity in the future!" Sima Xun praised, took out a book and handed it to him.
"This is the Confucian Classic that I copied by myself. Reading it every day can calm your mind, and some of the annotations in it may be helpful to your understanding of the Confucian Classic."
After saying that, Sima Xun smiled lightly and said, "I hope that in the government examination next May, I can see you win the position of head of the case."
"Thank you for your encouragement, sir!" Chen Hongyu took the book and chatted with him for a few more words before retreating calmly.
After returning to the house, Chen Hongyu exhaled.
Sima Xun, this big boss, is not a simple man. Just a casual glance gave him a terrifying feeling of being seen through.
He was afraid that this big boss, with the blessing of the court's luck, would directly realize that he was not from this world and send him back to Dongchen.
However, fortunately, we have the double protection of Dongchen God Emperor and the system.
Shortly after Chen Hongyu left, someone appeared again in the small pavilion, it was Xu Yan.
"Brother Junshi, how is my nephew doing?"
Sima Xun smiled and said: "Although your nephew has condensed his soul in advance, his soul and his body are in perfect harmony, and there is no incompatibility at all.
There is no abnormal Qi left on his body, so he must be the real person."
"That's good!" Xu Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "My nephew's original intelligence was not outstanding, but relying on his own natural appearance and fearlessness, there is still a glimmer of possibility for him to become a scholar.
But since last year, my talent has suddenly changed, and I have become much smarter, and I have even done things like hanging my ass off.
Nowadays, the talent is even more extraordinary. A few days ago, traces of several extraterrestrial demons were discovered in Jizhou. I have just finished my term in Jizhou, so I can’t help but have some overthinking."
"Pan Shi is so relieved!" Sima Xun comforted him: "Your nephew must have had some other luck, or he may just be a late bloomer like you.
However, he is not as late as you." At this point, Sima Xun laughed directly.
The two chatted and joked for a while, and then Xu Yan asked, "I heard that the prime minister's line in the DPRK is in conflict with our Minglian line?"
Hearing this question, Sima Xun's face darkened and he sighed: "This is a conflict of ideas that is simply irreconcilable. They have great rights in the imperial examinations. I just hope it will not affect these younger generations too much.
Our people have not yet been able to fully intervene in the imperial examination matters."
…
In March of the eighth year of Wu Hongguang's reign, Chen Hongyu walked out of the examination room.
"As expected, the title of scholar will definitely be obtained, and then we have to face the state examination in April."
Thinking of this, a gloomy look appeared on his face.
Some time ago, an urging message suddenly appeared in the Seal of the Distracting Talisman, asking him to ascend to a high position as quickly as possible.
Although he does not have the highest status among all Dongchen's undercover agents at present, he has the greatest potential and is the most secretive.
As for the distraction, it was the same as the main body. The main body, who was meditating in the Dragon Palace of Dongchen World, also learned from the Dragon Palace that Dongchen World suddenly began to prepare for war urgently, and there were only a few years left before attacking the Confucian World.
While I was thinking, I saw several people approaching from a distance.
These people were all dressed in gorgeous robes, and there were many entourages behind them. It was obvious that they were of high origin.
Chen Hongyu naturally recognizes them. These people are all young talents from the prime minister's faction. They are about the same age as him. They also participated in the imperial examination in the capital this time.
However, in the past year, the conflict between the Prime Minister's faction and the Ming-Lian faction has continued to intensify.
The dispute between the two factions naturally affected the people below, and Chen Hongyu would not be naive enough to think that they were here to make friends.
Therefore, he simply turned around and prepared to get into the carriage and leave.
It's such a stupid thing for one person to challenge a group of people. Whoever wants to do it can do it. He should just go back to the academy. This kind of thing is completely unnecessary.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard a familiar voice, but it was a student from Minglian Academy who was stopped by those people.
This man's name is Guo Jian, and he is the youngest son of a Ming and Lian family boss. He is extremely talented and has a good relationship with him on weekdays. Since he encountered him at this time, he naturally couldn't just sit back and watch.
At this time, Guo Jian was stopped by several people from the opposite side, with a gloomy look on his face: "Qin Li, what do you guys want to do?"
As the grand nephew of the prime minister, Qin Li naturally had an extraordinary background, and several people usually gathered around him.
"Nothing else to do. There will be a small literary gathering held in East Lake, Kyoto in three days. I just want to invite some students from your Minglian School to participate in the literary gathering."
Hearing this, the expressions of Guo Jian and Chen Hongyu who walked up to him changed slightly.
Although the Ming and Lian clique has grown stronger this year, it is still far from being able to compare with the prime minister clique.
The overall strength of these juniors was naturally at a disadvantage. According to the usual practice, Qin Li invited them to the literary meeting just because he wanted to have a few literary fights to improve their reputation.
"Promise him!"
At this moment, a familiar subtle voice came into my ears.
