……

In fact, before the examination, although Xiao Wenxuan had also taken refuge in Zhao Junchen, it was not out of sincerity, but just wanted to use Zhao Junchen's power in the court to help him make a difference on the road to the imperial examination.

At that time, Xiao Wenxuan had already made up his mind in his heart, as long as he was nominated for the imperial examination and entered the officialdom, he would immediately draw a line with Zhao Junchen and dissociate himself.

After all, Zhao Junchen has a very bad reputation among the government and the opposition, and he is Xiao Wenxuan's most despised corrupt official and minister, and letting him become a lackey of Zhao Junchen's subordinates will completely violate the values he has established since he was a child.

Of course, at that time, Xiao Wenxuan didn't understand the world and people's hearts, let alone the unspoken rules of officialdom, so his ideas were still a little immature and simple.

But now Xiao Wenxuan has gradually figured out that after a person enters the officialdom, his initial faction and position are by no means so easy to change. Once you've made your choice, you'll have to go all the way to the dark!

Because, if Xiao Wenxuan uses Zhao Junchen's power to become an official in the imperial examination, he will be branded as the "Zhao Party", and he will not be washed away, and other factions in the court will naturally be hostile to and suppress him, and he can only gain a firm foothold in the officialdom and seek further development only by continuing to be protected by Zhao Junchen.

But if Xiao Wenxuan had the idea of drawing a line with Zhao Junchen, then not only would he lose Zhao Junchen's protection, but even Zhao Junchen's faction would regard him as a traitor and take the initiative to persecute him, while other factions would not trust him and take him in lightly, and at that time. Under embattlement, Xiao Wenxuan is afraid that he doesn't even know how he died.

When you first enter officialdom, one of the most important basic principles. It's often "with the right person" and "choosing the right backer"! ――This is not only because it will affect your rise and fall and future, but also because once you have chosen and decided, it is difficult to change and regret it, so you can only continue to move on.

Therefore, once Xiao Wenxuan really used Zhao Junchen to enter the officialdom, then he had no choice.

In officialdom, "choice" is often the most expensive thing! Especially newcomers to officialdom. Especially those newcomers to officialdom who have no strength and background, at the beginning, they have no right to choose their own path! No one will care about your choice at all!

Only when he has accumulated enough power and influence to be impossible to underestimate and can influence the decision-making of the imperial court to a certain extent - just like Zhao Junchen today - at that time. Only in officialdom will have some "choice" rights, but most of the time, it is still involuntary.

This is the reality and cruelty of officialdom.

…………

However, it is precisely because Xiao Wenxuan gradually figured out the reality and cruelty of these officialdoms. So in the face of Zhao Junchen's solicitation. That's why he's so hesitant.

Although Xiao Wenxuan will try to fail the list now, if he becomes Zhao Junchen's doorman, he will still face a similar helpless situation - he will still be branded as a "Zhao Party" and be hostile to other factions in the DPRK and China, he will still cut off other options, and can only follow Zhao Junchen to the black.

Of course, not to mention Zhao Junchen's own bad reputation, he became Zhao Junchen's staff. For Xiao Wenxuan, it is almost the same as "aiding and abusing".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And the other side. Seeing the hesitation in Xiao Wenxuan's expression, Zhao Junchen smiled instead.

Since it is "hesitation", it proves that deep in Xiao Wenxuan's heart, he actually does not rule out becoming Zhao Junchen's doorman, only he still has some concerns.

After all, the two encounters between Zhao Junchen and Xiao Wenxuan left Xiao Wenxuan's first impression quite good, and this good first impression can also alleviate Xiao Wenxuan's disgust and rejection of Zhao Junchen's bad reputation in a big way.

Moreover, once he becomes Zhao Junchen's staff in the house, it is also quite beneficial to Xiao Wenxuan himself, as the so-called "seven-rank official in front of the prime minister", and once he becomes Zhao Junchen's staff, how can he be just a seven-rank official? Although I don't dare to say that it is the glory of the ancestors, the Fukuzawa family can still do it.

Therefore, seeing that Xiao Wenxuan hesitated and did not respond to his solicitation, Zhao Junchen said lightly: "Xiao Gongzi, you will try to fail the list this time, although it is because I have not considered it carefully, but it is not necessarily a bad thing, after all, with your original nature, even if you enter the officialdom, you will only make enemies everywhere, and the final outcome may be unbearable, and maybe your family will be implicated, and now you are not on the list, not only to avoid possible disasters in the future, but also to make you mature and cultivate the city." ”

Regarding what Zhao Junchen said, in fact, Xiao Wenxuan had thought about it these days when he couldn't sleep at night, so after a moment of silence, he also nodded in agreement, and then sighed again and said: "That being said, after all, it is my last fight on the road to the imperial examination, and I have always been unwilling to fail like this...... Although I also understand that this qiē is all self-inflicted, no one is to blame, of course, it is not to blame you, an adult. ”

"Oh? So, Xiao Gongzi, you really don't plan to continue to participate in the imperial examination? ”

Xiao Wenxuan shook his head and said: "I have exhausted my mind by failing the list four times in a row, and I am not young now, even if I am lucky enough to win the list in three years, I am afraid that my grades will not be very good, not to mention that my family has supported me to study for many years, it has been very hard, I don't want them to work so hard anymore, but it is time for me to repay them." ”

"In this way, Xiao Gongzi, you don't have many choices in the future, either farming, business, teaching, or serving as a staff master for officials in the DPRK and China." After Zhao Junchen nodded understandingly, he looked like he was sincerely planning for Xiao Wenxuan, and said: "However, the future of farming is not big after all, not to mention that as far as I know, Xiao Gongzi, your family does not have a lot of land; And the connections, money, and experience needed to do business, I'm afraid that you are also slightly deficient in Xiao Gongzi; As for teaching, it is certainly a good choice. But I don't think Xiao Gongzi will like to deal with those naughty boys all day long...... In this way, Xiao Gongzi, your best choice in the future is to serve as a staff member or master under the officials of the DPRK and China. In this way, you can also participate in political affairs, but you can also display the ambitions and ambitions in your heart. ”

Listening to Zhao Junchen still knocking on the side to recruit himself, Xiao Wenxuan was still silent, and he still couldn't make up his mind.

However, Zhao Junchen's next sentence made Xiao Wenxuan's face change slightly.

"Only, I don't know. Xiao Gongzi, which official do you want to take refuge in? Or, with Xiao Gongzi's current situation, which officials are willing to recruit Xiao Gongzi? ”

Heard Zhao Junchen's inquiry. Xiao Wenxuan's body shook slightly, but he suddenly realized that he didn't have many choices!

Before the test, Xiao Wenxuan wanted to take refuge in Zhao Junchen with the help of Liu Zimin's relationship. As long as the officials of the DPRK and China have the heart to investigate. There is no way to hide it!

In other words, Xiao Wenxuan's body has actually been branded as "Zhao Party" for a long time!

With such imprints and traces, apart from the officials of Zhao Junchen's faction, who is willing to recruit Xiao Wenxuan as a staff member or master? If he can only take refuge under the officials of Zhao Junchen's faction, then it is better to take refuge directly with Zhao Junchen!

As for options such as farming, business, and teaching, as Zhao Junchen said before, Xiao Wenxuan may not like it. Or the conditions are insufficient.

Thinking of this, a trace of bitterness flashed in Xiao Wenxuan's expression. Unexpectedly, he only got a little bit involved with officialdom, and he had no choice.

People in officialdom, they can't help themselves, they are like this!

However, Zhao Junchen looked for Xiao Wenxuan this time, just to retract his heart, but he didn't want Xiao Wenxuan to feel persecuted, and some words ended and he would not continue to talk deeply.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen's expression became more and more honest, and he continued: "I came to meet you this time with sincerity. In fact, you and I have talked twice, Xiao Gongzi should be able to perceive that now there are very few people who can understand Xiao Gongzi and you, and I am one of them. Xiao Gongzi, what you have done in the past shows that you have unique opinions, are not bound by worldly rules, and will not hesitate to endure humiliation in order to achieve your goals, and this is what I value about you, because I am the same, so I believe that if you are my staff in the house, we will also understand each other and cooperate happily. ”

After a pause, Zhao Junchen said again: "Of course, I understand your concerns Xiao Gongzi, you think I am a corrupt official, and it is not in line with your ambition to serve me, but Xiao Gongzi, you should also understand that most of the gossip in this world is nine falsehoods and one truth, if I am really just an incompetent and corrupt official, how can I make His Majesty Xià He can't do without me?" In fact, in today's temples, I don't think there are many people who have contributed more than me, including His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is famous all over the world. Xiao Gongzi, if you really want to show your ambitions, instead of working for those Qingliu who can only talk but don't do practical things, why don't you help me do some real practical things? Corrupt officials, clean officials, the reputation of these people is really so important to you? ”

…………

After hearing what Zhao Junchen said so much, Xiao Wenxuan's expression changed for a long time, and he finally made a decision!

That is, to join Zhao Junchen's disciples and become Zhao Junchen's staff!

Zhao Junchen's truths are only one aspect, and more importantly, the so-called persistence and ambition are always insignificant in the face of cruel reality.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Wenxuan is now becoming Zhao Junchen's disciple, which is indeed his best choice at present.

What's more, since the two met, Xiao Wenxuan always kept silent because of hesitation, but Zhao Junchen talked a lot of truths in order to persuade, and he didn't get angry because of Xiao Wenxuan's silence, which was enough for Xiao Wenxuan to understand Zhao Junchen's sincerity.

So, Xiao Wenxuan stood up, bowed to Zhao Junchen, and said: "Thank you for your lift, although Xiao Wenxuan is ashamed, he doesn't dare to make excuses anymore, after more than 30 years of hard study, his lifelong ambition and ambition will be sold to adults!" ”

Seeing that Xiao Wenxuan was finally persuaded by himself, Zhao Junchen smiled.

Laughing, Zhao Junchen suddenly said: "Very good, but you have your ambitions, and I also have my ambitions, so in the future, I will recruit a lot of staff to assist in the mansion, and these staff members will perform their own duties, but Xiao Gongzi, you don't know if you want to do something big for me in the future?" Or do you just want to eat together? ”

"Where the ability is, Xiao Wenxuan will not shirk. If I had a choice, I would naturally want to do something big for adults. Xiao Wenxuan naturally didn't want Zhao Junchen to underestimate him at this time, so he said very simply.

"If you want to do great things, then you must first do one thing for yourself!" Zhao Junchen said slowly.

"I hope you can advise me."

"Now, Liu Zimin, Zeng Wei and other candidates who have taken refuge in me are gathering in Tianhai Tower to celebrate each other because they are all on the apricot list." Zhao Junchen looked at Xiao Wenxuan's eyes and said lightly: "And what you have to do is to join them immediately, integrate into them, and find ways to eliminate their evil feelings towards you!" They will also be my people in the future, and they will be entrusted with important tasks by me, and if you are at odds with them, and I recruit you into the palace and entrust you with important affairs, it will only make them resentful, and fear your retribution, which I do not want to see. Therefore, in the future, whether you will do great things in my house or make a mess depends on whether you can have a good relationship with them. ”
