Chapter 214: Hidden Dangers?

At the beginning of the lanterns, the wax was lit inside and outside the Chu Mansion, just like day, and the stars in the sky were shining brightly, indicating that tomorrow would be a good weather, but the mood of the Chu Mansion was gloomy, what day was today, everyone knew very well in their hearts, when the fireworks were prepared, they were going to celebrate with the whole world, but they could only end awkwardly.

"Sister Hui, how is Qian'er now?" Yun Niang's charming face showed concern.

"I hid in my room and didn't want to come out, and I didn't even eat dinner." Mrs. Hui said softly, frowning slightly, and a wisp of helpless worry flashed.

"Imperial court, what do you mean?" Yun Niang stroked her forehead and said, full of "confusion" and "confusion", this is the twenty-third time she has asked herself, after all, no one knows the answer, naturally no one can solve her "confusion".

"The power of heaven is unpredictable, and it may be clear when the husband comes back." Mrs. Wang said lightly, and her eyes also revealed deep incomprehension.

Several female dependents then fell silent, Chu Jue, who was nestled in Yun Niang's arms, was still young and didn't understand the sophistication of human feelings, but with his ignorant wisdom, he also noticed that the atmosphere in the middle hall was different, and his small mouth was closed without sound, quietly playing with his delicate little fingers.

After a long time, there was movement outside the hall door, and several female dependents hurriedly looked out, then hurriedly stood up, stepped forward and saluted: "Husband, uncle, third uncle." ”

"Everybody's here." Chu Luo walked in and said with a smile, "It's for the sake of the hostage." ”

"The court has given officials and conferred positions, but there is no quality of quality, and before we understand the reason, how can we rest assured." Mrs. Wang said softly, waving her handmaiden to offer tea, soup and pastries.

"You don't have to worry, it's not a bad thing." At the invitation of several people, Chu Ji, who sat down, said with a smile: "The situation of Qian'er is a bit special, and the court and China have not yet discussed the results. ”

"After all, the sixteen-year-old and the first jinshi, since the founding of the country, have rarely heard of it." Chu Qian smiled and said, "Of course, you can't take it as common sense. ”

"But that's true." Chu Luo nodded in agreement, and then glanced at the hall, but found no figure of Chu Qian, and couldn't help asking, "What about Qian'er, have you gone home?" ”

People got official positions, and the scenery was proud, so they naturally went to celebrate the banquet happily, where did Chu Zhen have this mood, he reluctantly went to the restaurant with a few friends to have a few drinks, so he casually found an excuse to go home early, and Feng Jing of course they were not hindered.

"I'm going to call him out in the room." Mrs. Hui hurriedly said, her hanging heart finally fell, and looking at Chu Luo's expressions, she knew that things were not as bad as she imagined, or that there was something hidden in them.

The man came back, and the Chu Mansion seemed to have the backbone, especially when they saw Chu Ji talking and laughing with each other, the haze in his heart gradually dissipated, and his hands and feet became numb, and after a while, the steaming tea soup and pastries were immediately brought into the hall, and several female dependents also quietly retreated.

Not long after, Chu Zhen, who heard the news, came to the hall, there was no dejected expression on his face, and he had seen a few elders with a modest attitude, and then stood aside, ready to listen to the teaching.

"Quality, you must be in a very bad mood now, if you have any dissatisfaction, just confide in your uncle." Chu Qian said softly.

"The third uncle is too worried, for no reason, how can I have any dissatisfaction in my heart." Chu Zhen said in a deep voice, there was really no dissatisfaction in his heart, only a stomach full of anger and deep incomprehension, I really didn't know what the emperor's ministers were doing, and I didn't know where I provoked them, I actually played this game for myself in front of everyone, which made me lose face.

"Quality, there are no outsiders here, if you have any grievances in your heart, you can speak up and don't have to hide them." Chu Ji smiled, but in his heart he was very satisfied with the calmness shown by Chu Qian, no matter what happened, no matter how eager he cared about his mood, he must be silent on the surface, this is the way to be an official.

"It's not a grievance, it's just a little unclear." Chu Zhen sighed lightly: "The court is unfair, it's hard to be convinced." ”

Chu Ji and the others looked at each other and smiled, and they didn't mind that Chu Zhen had slander against the court in his words, and his "sex" personality was calm and stable, but for his own family, there was no need to be wary.

"Today, when the imperial court conferred the official position, the new branch jinshi was waiting outside to listen to the announcement, but in the Chongzheng Palace, there was a controversy among the courtiers because of something." Chu Ji said softly, a trace of smugness flashed in his eyes, although the result of the controversy was a little unsatisfactory, but being able to attract the attention of the emperor's ministers was a glorious thing in itself, and the final result was tolerable with some slight flaws.

"But you don't know why to argue?" Chu Zhen said softly, knowing in his heart that the matter must have something to do with him, so he felt "confused" and "confused", Chu Zhen is very self-aware, and clearly knows that for the central ministers of the imperial court, there is no need for them to put themselves in their eyes at all, no matter how great the future is, it will be a matter of the future, and now he is just a small jinshi, in terms of reputation and talent, Feng Jing, who is three yuan and first, has surpassed himself, and everyone can successfully obtain official positions, how did he get here, but there is no movement, Or maybe there was a sudden unknown change.

"The practice of the imperial court, the first and the first jinshi, awarded the Dali commentator, delegated the state capital experience, three years later recalled to Ren Jixian school, sharpened for a few years, promoted to the pavilion to listen to the government, and after a few years, then know the state government." Chu Ji carefully calculated: "In a few years, I will relocate to the survey, or recall to Beijing." ”

"Generally speaking, that's about fifteen to twenty years." Chu Qian said with a smile.

"So what?" Chu Zhen said in the blink of an eye, still puzzled and puzzled, listening to the confusion, he couldn't figure out what the two of them were trying to express.

"If you don't make a big mistake in 20 years, you will have a chance to become the prime minister, and the probability is very high, more than 50%." A bright smile bloomed on Chu Luo's face.

"There's such a thing, how come I've never heard of it." Chu Zhen was stunned and muttered.

"Hehe, this is a tacit thing, who will go around preaching, and also worry about the feelings of other Jinshi." Chu Qian chuckled, there was also some astringency in his smile, but there was a hint of relief in Chu Qian's eyes, it had always been a regret in his heart that he failed to get into the first grade, but fortunately, someone had fulfilled his wish for him now.

"Of course, there is no absolute, and it doesn't mean that the second and third top jinshi don't have the opportunity to enter the center, but in comparison, the probability of the first jinshi is relatively higher." Chu Ji explained.

"I understand." Chu Zhen nodded, speaking of probability, it was a very complex academic problem, Chu Zhen was not good at mathematics, he was too lazy to pay attention to it, and countless examples have proved that elites with outstanding grades are always easy to be taken care of, and then directly asked the question he was most concerned about: "But what does this have to do with me?" ”

"It didn't matter." Chu Luo said with regret: "It's a pity for your age. ”

"The thirty-year-old Xianggong is not the prince and the prince of the county, this is a precedent that has never been set before the founding of the Great Song Dynasty." Chu Qian said with a smile on his face: "Because of this, everyone has some doubts about this, and naturally there is a controversy. ”

Understood, it's still the fault of age, Chu Zhen couldn't help but slander, up to the Emperor of Heaven, down to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, his brain must have entered the water, and he actually disputed it for more than ten or twenty years, not to mention whether he would make mistakes in these twenty years, even if he has been serving his official duties, honest and honest, and is a good official, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future, how can they be sure that they will be able to enter the center, where is there really a chance, since they all understand that they are not old enough, Wouldn't it be enough to just suppress yourself for a few more years, there is no need to worry about this at all.

Chu Zhen didn't understand, what kind of possible power is the convention, the Song Dynasty has its own set of talent and employment system, from the time of Taizu Taizong, how can it be possible to change the ancestral family law for just one person, so the emperor's ministers will feel embarrassed, if Chu Zhen is the second or third class Jinshi, but he is in the first class, such a prominent ranking, which ministers do not secretly pay attention, after knowing Chu Zhen's age, naturally have doubts.

Besides, Chu Qian's usual performance is indeed too dazzling, and the ministers have very reason to believe that with his talent, it is not uncommon for him to become a pillar of the country after training for more than ten or twenty years, if it is the emperor, no matter how young he is, no one will feel uneasy, but the auxiliary ministers are young, it is not the blessing of the society, thirty years old, seventy years old, forty years, even if there are several ups and downs, then at least twenty years are above the phase.

Sometimes people's imagination is very terrifying, especially to scare themselves, knowing that things may not be the same as they expected, but not afraid of 10,000, just in case, for uncertain factors, some people always expand it infinitely, even if they know that someone is deliberately making a fuss about it, but the monarchs and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty do not dare to bet.

"But I don't know what the outcome of the dispute between the DPRK and China is?" In addition to slandering, Chu Zhen couldn't help but ask, the unknown is the most terrifying, and now he knows what is going on, but the depression in his heart is dispelled a lot.

"The princes of the court are in dispute, and Your Majesty is not easy to decide, so he can only postpone it and prepare to discuss it later." Chu Ji said softly, his eyes flashing a little helpless.

"Quality, have you ever offended Zhang Xianggong?" With a deep groan, Chu Luo asked.

"Zhang Xianggong? Who is it. Chu Zhi was "confused" and "confused", and then suddenly said: "What my father said is the third envoy Zhang Yaozuo. ”

Chu Luo nodded lightly, his gaze fell on Chu Zhen's face, if his son really offended him, it would be best to resolve it, if the grudge was too deep, although Zhang Yaozuo was his top boss, but he was on business, he might not be able to help himself.

"Probably not." Chu Zhen frowned and thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I have never seen Zhang Xiangxiang, let alone offended him. ”

"Then it's strange, why does he always target you during the court discussion." Chu Ji said: "Listening to the rumors, it is also his advice to the official family, reflecting your age and pointing out it." After hesitating for a moment, he finally felt that he couldn't describe his nephew as a hidden danger, so he simply didn't continue.
