Chapter 359: The People Hidden Behind Chunge
Chun Ge, who was dressed in a purple robe, showed a majesty different from his age, Murong Zeng Shen and the two secretly watched outside the door, almost seeing this back as Lin Xiang's older generation of authorities, just talking about the fit of Chun Ge and the official uniform, I think that there are only a handful of people who can compare with this court.
Chun Ge didn't look in the mirror, but turned around and asked Uncle Zhu lightly: "Uncle Zhu, what do you say about this official uniform." Chunge raised his hands, spun around, and looked himself up and down.
The night didn't seem to make Chunge's official uniform dim, but Uncle Zhu took Chunge's appearance into his eyes under the light, this child, he had known it for a long time. Chunge was still a nobody that year, and Uncle Zhu was attracted by the baby's aura, until the plague turned his life upside down. In a blink of an eye, the years passed mercilessly, and Uncle Zhu became more and more calm in the crawling and rolling, but Chun Ge lost too much, and only gained this purple robe with infinite glory.
"It's good-looking, it's good-looking." Uncle Zhu helped Chun Ge smooth out some of the wrinkles, patted Chun Ge's thin shoulder and said.
"I think so, too." Chun Ge took off the official uniform and handed it to Uncle Zhu, while he looked at the rare full moon outside the window, and he seemed to think of the night when he first put on the scarlet robe. At that time, Leshan was like he had become a fourth-grade official, and he had been helping Chunge smooth out his wrinkles, and his clothes and moonlight set off Leshan's ruddy complexion and joyful appearance. Chun Ge knew that behind his crimson official uniform was Ji Qian's blood, but now behind this purple robe was Leshan's life.
"If Leshan sees it, he will be happy for me." Chun Ge looked at the two best friends who were in a cold war with him by the door and asked, "Is it?" ”
"Hmm" Murong understood that Leshan would always be a hard wound in Chunge's heart, no matter how long time had passed. This pain will not go away, and this word is also the first word he said to Chun Ge in the past few days.
Uncle Zhu put away Chunge's official robe for the morning dynasty tomorrow, and automatically exited the room, leaving the space for these three troubled young people, maybe they should have had a good talk a long time ago.
"Sit down." Chunge pointed to the chair next to the table, and he changed to a new pot of tea.
Murong and Zeng Shen glanced at each other and sat aside. They don't say much. is to look at Chunge, the burning eyes in his eyes, it is clear that Chunge wants to give a reasonable explanation, why. Chunge always works alone, even if he is covered in bruises, he is not willing to accept their help.
"You wonder why I don't want to accept you." Chun Ge poured two cups of tea and put them in front of Murong Zengshen, adding: "Or is it that since I arrived in the capital, I will no longer interact with the scholars in the southeast, and I don't even want any help from you?" ”
"Yes, when you arrive in the capital, you are like a different person." Zeng Shen clenched the teacup in front of him and said in a deep voice: "I admit that when you arrived in the capital, you have been a lot more cautious. But when it comes to the critical moment, you always come out alone. ”
"Fang Zongyi's business. You didn't discuss anything about the palace examination back then. Murong directly pushed the teacup away, clenched his fists, and said in a loud voice: "I know that you alone can stand up to countless of us, but you let us do what we can." At the very least, we are the ones who are qualified to stand by your side. ”
"I thought you were going to change, after two years you should know our hard work, me and this nerd, every day and every day think about working harder, one day we can help you." Murong pushed his hand, and the tea cup fell, this stubborn man turned his head, proud as he was, arrogant as him, how could he endure his powerlessness again and again.
Zeng Shen took out a fold from his arms and spread it on the table, with the names of many people written on it, like a book of ten thousand words, he stroked the ink that had been dry for a long time on the fold and said: "We have already written a fold for you, and the big guys are willing to jointly guarantee and beg the emperor to reinstate you as an official." ”
Zeng Shen stared at Chunge's face, he never dreamed that Chunge would step on Zhao Xian's shoulder and use a weak way to return himself to officialdom, if it was Chunge in the past, he would categorically disdain to use this method, not to mention that Chunge was using Lin Xiang's people, they didn't dare to think that maybe Chunge had changed.
"I'm not an ignorant person." Chun Ge took Zeng Shen's notebook, looked at the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar words on it, and said, "Do you still remember, Xu Guangqi and Liu Zhixin?" ”
Chun Ge mentioned these two people intimately, to say that these two guys were also popular figures in the imperial examination back then, but after the imperial examination, they went to other places to be officials, and they have not been in contact with Chunge and their class for many years.
"Yes." Murong Zeng replied in unison, but at the same time glanced at Chun Ge suspiciously.
"Do you know what their official positions are now?" Chun Ge smiled at the corner of his mouth, and picked up the teacup without hurry and took a sip.
"What official position?" The relationship between Murong and these two people was not good back then, and after they left, they would not take the initiative to inquire about the news of them, they didn't know.
Chun Ge's eyes lowered slightly, raised suddenly, and said, "One is the prefect of Hangzhou, and the other is the prefect of Mabian City." ”
"How is that possible?" Zeng was stunned, the prefect is equivalent to a four-grade official, a position on the town guard, Xu Guangqi and Liu Zhixin have only left the capital for a few years, and they have no proud achievements, how can they be officials to the fourth grade.
"Hangcheng, Mabian City?" Murong seemed to have heard some earth-shattering joke, what kind of place is Hangzhou, the political center of the southeast, and Mabian City is one of the largest cities in the north, the most important thing is that the foundation of the northern clan Wang family is there, with their age and qualifications, how can they be worthy of the prefect of these two places.
"Even you two fellow scholars are not only promoted quickly, it seems that they are really well hidden." Chun Ge couldn't help but be excited about his move back then, at that time he secretly subdued these two people, and spent a lot of money to cultivate these two people to reach a position today, everything was going very smoothly in secret, but today, on this night, he finally had to make a confession with Murong Zengshen.
"The second uncle is the commander of the southeast, and you arranged Liu Zhixin to Hangzhou?" Murong has been friends with Chun Ge since he was a child, and some titles are also directly called by Chun Ge, and when it comes to the southeast, it is difficult not to think of Chun Ge and Liu Zhixin's promotion.
"You are good friends with the Wang family, Xu Guangqi was originally cultivated by the Wang family, could it be that you entrusted the relationship and supported Xu Guangqi?" Although Zeng Shen was asking, he already had the answer in his heart, and before he knew it, the two big cities in the north and south were actually in the hands of their peers.
"Who else but me." The gaze in Chunge's eyes flashed, as if he was thinking back to the few difficult moves he had not played in the early years, and today he had grown up very well as he expected, and he should really be gratified.
"You're not letting us help for the sake of these two people." Zeng Shen suddenly realized that the DPRK and China paid great attention to the relationship between classmates, and if they really played a role in Chunge's incident, that is, to put their current class of students in front of others, then Xu Guangqi and Liu Zhixin, who were carefully cultivated by Chunge, would also be exposed to everyone's eyes.
"I said that those seventh-grade boys, how could they all be promoted to sixth-grade and fifth-grade, shouldn't it be you secretly operating." Murong's mind was obviously more jumpy than Zeng Shen's, and he thought of a strange phenomenon that he had discovered a long time ago. Once at a gathering of their classmates, he suddenly found that in addition to Liu Zhixin, Xu Guangqi and other three or four people, the Jinshi of their eighteenth year in Annan were all officials in the capital. Although they are all petty officials of the seventh grade and eighth grade, in just three or four years, they have basically reached the level of the sixth grade, and some have even achieved the official position of the fifth grade.
To say that Murong is strange is not unreasonable, under normal circumstances, when a imperial examination is completed, most of the jinshi obtained are assigned to the outside as officials, and some people are even such small officials for a lifetime, but Chunge's session is particularly rare, not only the personnel are not dispersed, this official is also getting bigger little by little, and when someone finds out, it will not be clear to explain the reason for this phenomenon, so everyone has to get by. It's just one point, because of the perennial mutual help, their Jinshi this year is particularly united, and under the leadership of Murong and Zeng Shen, they are subtly led by Chunge.
"Otherwise, why would I spend so much money all these years to make myself a target." Chun Ge smiled bitterly, saying that he himself was too cheap, and he insisted on doing those earth-shattering things, so in the eyes of everyone, their Jinshi this year was like only Chun Ge, and the other classmates were gorgeously ignored, but in this way, the development of those people was not so noticeable.
"Why use yourself as a shield to protect us?" Zeng Shen was very strange, although Chun Ge was one of them who had the potential to become a high-ranking official, such a person should have been a victim of them nobodies, but now he has put the cart before the horse.
"It is indeed a good way to abandon the car to protect the handsome, but after the car is abandoned, can't the handsome become the commander of the light pole?" Chun Ge is well versed in the truth of a good man and three gangs, he is still young and in no hurry to ascend to a high position, what he wants to do is not to let him walk in front alone, but to lead a group of people to walk in front together, otherwise he will be overwhelmed by the court with many parties sooner or later.
"Almost, almost I did something wrong." Zeng Shen covered his chest in surprise, this piece of music was in his hands that day, he was almost about to speak, if he really opened his mouth at that time, then everything that Chunge had painstakingly arranged would turn into a bubble.
"That's why I don't let you get involved in any incident." Chun Ge learned this trick from Lu Qingshi, and Lu Qingshi's attitude towards Zhou Zhongzheng is not like this.
"Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, and when that day comes, the government and the opposition will be shocked."
