Fan Hongdao didn't know what Shen Shixing wanted to talk to him alone, but he still said the same thing, and he had no right to refuse. So in the strange eyes of everyone, Fan Hongdao was taken to the outer study by the servants of the Shen Mansion.

It is inevitable that everyone who steps out of the Shen Mansion will have to talk a few words, and Shoufu deliberately keeps a little person like Fan Hongdao who is not related to him, and it always seems to be very incongruous.

In the outer study, Fan Hongdao didn't wait long before he saw Shen Yongmao Shen's eldest son escorting his father in. Shen Shoufu waved his hand and asked Shen Dagongzi to withdraw.

This made Shen Dagongzi a little surprised, in his eyes, Fan Hongdao, who was interning in the county government of Daxing County, was like his subordinate younger brother, and his father talked to his younger brother about things, but he wanted to avoid himself, which was really hurtful!

Shen Dagongzi slowly withdrew from the outer study, and couldn't help but throw his father a resentful look, who is your biological son?

Shen Shixing ignored the son who began to doubt his life, and only said to Fan Hongdao: "You carefully explain the situation in the past few days. ”

So Fan Hongdao told the original story of his experience in the past few days, and when he heard that Fan Hongdao and Shen Li were fighting, Shen Shixing sighed: "I exchanged a Yu Kong table for Shen Li's resignation, and I don't know whether I will lose or win." ”

Yu Biaochong, the ceremonial secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is the person directly responsible for the "persecution of Fan Hongdao", and his grade is only five grades, so he will definitely not be able to keep it this time. And Shen Li's resignation is just a resignation, which can only be regarded as a withdrawal from the position, but he has not yet gone to the battlefield, and the final result depends on the game of all parties.

Fan Hongdao couldn't help but ask: "I've always had a question, as far as I have personally contacted, Lord Shen Li Shen is quite upright, worthy of being the leader of the Qingliu, and Lord Shen doesn't have too much disrespect for the Pavilion Elder, but why are the other Qingliu monarchs so dissatisfied with the Boss?"

Shen Shixing smiled bitterly a few times, and said helplessly: "Of course, Shen Li is qualified enough to enter the cabinet as a scholar in terms of reputation, but he has not been able to take a step forward for many years, and all the gentlemen of Qingliu think that the old man is a hindrance, so he has a lot of resentment against the old man." In fact, there is no inside story in this matter, how can the Qingliu gentlemen not believe the old man!"

There is gossip! Fan Hongdao sensitively sensed something, and put on an expression of curiosity. Shen Shixing didn't want to hide it from Fan Hongdao: "Do you know that Shen Li also worked as a teacher in the Inner Study Hall back then?"

Fan Hongdao wanted to go to the inner study hall to teach poetry, so he was very sensitive to this, and he became more and more confused.

Teaching in the inner study hall,That's an errand that can form a teacher-student relationship with the future right eunuch.,In the future, the career may be supported by the inner palace power eunuch.,According to statistics,About one-third of the inner study hall teaching and training ended up in the cabinet as a scholar.。

Shen Li has been a teacher in the inner study hall, and he is a very famous leader of the Qingliu, and entering the cabinet is simply natural and natural, at least it is a high probability event. But Shen Li has never entered the cabinet until now, which is strange when you think about it carefully.

What is the problem? Could it really be that Shoufu Shen Shixing is getting in the way? Fan Hongdao has not thought about it, but after thinking about it, he can only feel that the reason lies with Shen Shixing.

Shen Shixing saw through Fan Hongdao's thoughts: "Do you also think it's because of the old man? Now the old man has to tell you that this idea is very wrong." Shen Li couldn't enter the cabinet, and he definitely couldn't blame the old man. ”

Fan Hongdao did not hypocritically deny his thoughts: "Then what other reason can there be?"

Shen Shixing said: "Do you know that after Shen Li became an official and became a minister, many eunuchs who had a teacher-student friendship with him back then have begun to take shape. It is precisely because of the friendship between teachers and students that those eunuchs have asked Shen Li to do favors, and in their opinion, this is the common feeling of people who have come and gone.

But guess what the result is? Shen Li was extremely upright, and the Grand Duke selflessly refused the invitation of these eunuchs, and not once or twice, but again and again! Over time, these powerful eunuchs were extremely dissatisfied with Shen Li, especially the students who had been taught by Shen Li, and they were even more angry with Shen Li. ”

Fan Hongdao suddenly realized, no wonder a person with a high reputation like Shen Li, under the current recommendation system, has never been able to enter the cabinet, the root of the problem of daring is here!

Eunuchs are a very sensitive group in their hearts, and Shen Li's unkind approach to the old eunuchs has greatly stimulated the eunuchs, and they have some thoughts that they don't know if they are misunderstandings.

If there is such a group of powerful eunuchs in the palace who oppose someone entering the cabinet, the influence on the Son of Heaven is still very great, and the Son of Heaven must also take into account the attitude and mood of his cronies.

Shen Shixing said helplessly: "So Shen Li can't enter the cabinet, the fundamental reason is in the inner palace, but the princes of the outer dynasty don't know about the deep palace, they all think that the old man is afraid of Shen Li's entry into the cabinet, so he secretly obstructs it." Such a misunderstanding convinced the Qingliu monarchs, and the old man could only cry out in vain, but beg for peace of mind. ”

Regarding Shen Shoufu's statement, Fan Hongdao still chose to believe it. Because according to his observation, Shen Li's attitude towards Shen Shoufu is quite normal, without too many personal emotions, and he is not as hated as other Qingliu characters. This shows that Shen Li is well aware of his situation, knows that his actions have created a great obstacle, and knows that he can't blame Shen Shoufu.

"Don't mention these old things, the reason why the old man told them all is to let you understand some of the background. Shen Shixing said: "Hearing that you went to the Inner Book Hall to teach poetry this time, I can't help but think of Shen Li's old things, and at the same time, I have to remind you that the most experienced teacher in the Inner Book Hall today is Li Tingji, the leader of the eleventh year of Wanli, and the current editor of the Hanlin Academy. ”

Fan Hongdao quickly remembered that the so-called examination rankings were all decided by the examiner, but after the entrance examination, all the scholars would attend, mark the papers and arrange the rankings on the spot, and then ask the Son of Heaven to decide.

Li Tingji is the leader of Chenghua for 11 years, and the first assistant of Chenghua for 11 years is Shen Shixing, maybe Li Tingji is favored by Shen Shoufu!

Thinking of this, Fan Hongdao replied: "If that's the case, Li Hanlin is quite close to the next meeting?

Shen Shoufu still couldn't understand Fan Hongdao's thoughts, "Otherwise, if you think too much, then Li Tingji complains about the old man very much in his heart, and he won't be too kind to you!"

Fan Hongdao didn't understand it anymore, how could he have a grudge?

Shen Shixing patiently explained: "Li Tingji is the township test Xie Yuan and the Hui Yuan of the Hui Test, and he is only one champion away from three yuan and the first. And did you get acquainted with that Zhu Guozuo just now? He is the champion of Chenghua for 11 years, and it was the old man who pushed him to be the champion, so he put Li Tingji in second place, and since then Li Tingji has a grudge against the old man's title, and you must not be unguarded when you go to the inner study hall. ”

Hearing this, Fan Hongdao only felt really bitter in his heart, is there any pure land in this world?
