The secret room of the study in the Shen Mansion of Renshoufang

"Really? It's not going to happen again, is it? He Taizhi was nervous and excited, grabbed Shen Rui's arm, and asked questions repeatedly.

Shen Rui couldn't help laughing, punched him, and said, "You have no jokes, what the emperor said can be false?" ”

He Taizhi immediately seemed to be overjoyed, shook Shen Rui's arm vigorously, and then strode around in the secret room, muttering that he wanted to write a letter to his family to report the good news to his brothers and sisters.

To say that He Taizhi is smart, and it is indeed a seed of reading, but because of his temperament, his writing is often uncertain, and if he encounters a stable examiner, the paper will inevitably be dethroned.

In this regard, He Taizhi's former teachers, Shen Zhou, and even several gentlemen in the academy have repeatedly reminded him.

However, the nature of the country is easy to change, and the style of writing is also average, if He Taizhi really carefully considers the pen everywhere, then the article will also be unreadable.

It was dangerous and dangerous to take the exam before, and this time, according to the meaning of Brother Shou's words, this time the spring festival is also worthy of being at the end of the list.

But so what, in the end, it's a hit!

Jinshi is so easy to get, and it is extremely lucky to win!

It's hard to say whether there is Brother Shou's help in this, but since Brother Shou mentioned it, it is a great grace.

Shen Rui waited for He Taizhi to stabilize his mood before he said, "The emperor values you, you should know it in your heart." ”

He Taizhi nodded hurriedly and blurted out: "You should invite him to have fun for a day!" ”

As soon as the words came out, looking at Shen Rui's darkened face, he felt speechless, and hurriedly bowed his hand, and said, "I said nonsense, second brother spares me this ......time for the sake of my soul not returning."

"You are also a person who has reached the crown, and now that you are a Jinshi, you should be clear about what you should do and what you should not do." Shen Rui still had a cold face and said, "Talking behind closed doors is a love affair with the Son of Heaven from childhood to adulthood, but are you planning to be a playmate in the future?" ”

He Taizhi's joy immediately vanished, and he apologized seriously: "It's really not a brain." Second brother, don't worry, I'm not such a foolish person, and I also have plans for the future. ”

He looked at Shen Rui with envy in his eyes, and said softly: "I also want to do something like the second brother." ”

In the past few years, listening to the news from Shandong, he was really itchy, and once wanted to go to several academies in Dengzhou to study.

It was Shen Zhou who understood his thoughts, stopped him, and said, "If you go to Dengzhou, I'm afraid you won't be able to study with peace of mind, so you must start helping your second brother." Think about it for yourself, whether a lifter can help your second brother a lot, or a jinshi can help a lot. ”

He Taizhi then put out his mind and redoubled his efforts to study.

Now, he is finally a jinshi, and he can finally say to his second brother: "I also want to follow the second brother to do things, open up sea trade, promote agriculture and mulberry, and benefit the people in a place." ”

Shen Rui's expression softened when he heard this, patted him and said, "As long as you have a heart, no matter where you are, you can make a career." As long as you have the people in your heart, standing in the court can benefit the people even more. ”

Seeing He Taizhi nodding vigorously, he said again: "You also heard what the emperor meant, and I also think that you can't sit still in the Hanlin Academy, and the Ministry of Industry or the Ministry of War ......."

Before he finished speaking, He Taizhi hurriedly said: "I am from the military selection department!" He smiled flatteringly.

Shen Rui was angry and funny, and punched him.

This is not out of Shen Rui's expectations, He Taizhi's Xiwu is not a day or two, if he can go to the barracks, I am afraid that he will have to jump high and run away happily.

"The military department didn't let you go to war." Shen Rui sighed, "Don't think too well. ”

He paused and said, "I'm thinking, the list will be released in about a day or two, and then I will take you to a few places to visit, and more or less understand the affairs of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, and it will not be too late for you to choose." ”

Li Yanqing, the eldest son of Li Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is Shen Rui's brother-in-law, and he is really a relative.

Many of the projects in Dengzhou are also technical personnel such as the director, Lang Zhong and Yiying craftsmen seconded by Shen Rui to the Ministry of Industry.

When the project is completed, not only is the remuneration rich, but also has political achievements, so the whole Ministry of Industry is very close to Shen Ruiji.

Not to mention the military department, He Taizhi is Wang Shouren's brother-in-law, but he has a closer relationship than Shen Rui, Wang Shouren's disciple, which one will not sell face.

He Taizhi nodded well, but he still smiled and said, "I'm going to go to the military department after seeing it!" Even if you are able to do the work of the Ministry of Industry, you don't need to go to the Ministry of Industry, Li Yanqing and Brother Li are not in the Ordnance Bureau! I'll just go and give him a hand. ”

Shen Rui couldn't help him, and he couldn't hold back his serious face, and said with a smile: "That's it, since you like martial arts so much, after the palace test, find a boxer for you, and you can also practice." ”

He Taizhi smiled and said, "Wonderful, wonderful." I don't need to look for anything else, I look at the fourth brother's master Zou Feng is good, now that there are fewer children in the family, he is idle, why don't you let him teach me. ”

Zou Feng was originally a Jinyi lieutenant under Gao Wenhu, and was recommended by Gao Wenhu to come to Shen Mansion as a boxing and foot master.

Nominally, he taught the fourth brother, Xiao Nan and several other children to practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies, but in fact, Shen Rui wanted to find a master for Dong Daniu, who was born with divine powers, but it was not good to invite a school captain to teach people, so he entrusted the name of the children in the house.

Zou Feng is very good at kung fu, but he has never been promoted because he is not good at camping, and he has many children in the family, and he also needs a private job outside of the family to support his family.

Therefore, he is quite attentive to the work of the Shen family, not only teaching several children of the Shen family seriously, but also not taking Dong Daniu lightly, and teaching him all his kung fu.

Later, Shen Rui went to Shandong, and the clansmen followed him one after another, and these children who learned martial arts naturally had to follow their parents. And Dong Daniu has already practiced kung fu, and he was also taken by Shen Rui.

In this way, Zou Feng's students are left with the fourth brother.

The Shen family did not give less restraints, but there was only one child left to teach, and the fourth brother was frail and had to study, and the time to practice martial arts was very limited.

It was still Shen Rui who kept it again and again, until it was faintly revealed that his family went to Shandong and was not worried about the third uncle's family, and hoped that masters like Captain Zou could take care of him more, so Zou Feng responded.

He Taizhi felt that Zou Feng was excellent in both kung fu and character, so he thought of learning boxing and kicking with him.

Shen Rui naturally would not object.

Because when it comes to this subject, only Shen Yue in this generation of the Shen clan is still taking the exam, the article is peaceful, and the mentality is also extremely peaceful, I am afraid there is no hope.

Shen Yue's friend Zhu Yunming also went down with his son again. Shen Rui knew that Zhu Yunming's son Zhu Xu won this time, and Zhu Yunming would fall off the list again......

Among the rest of the clansmen, there are three children of the side branches, and the articles are all ordinary, but I am afraid that there is not much hope.

Shen Li's eldest son, Shen Lin, also came to an end, and Shen Rui looked at it with great hope.

Thinking that now that Shen Li has been promoted to political envoy, if Shen Lin wins, it will be a double happiness.

No, it should be said that three joys are coming, Shen Li's son-in-law Zhang Wei is not only filial piety, but also this year's spring is over.

Zhang Wei and Shen Mei's marriage is scheduled for May.

Because of Zhang Wei's filial piety, Shen Mei has been dragged for several years and is now eighteen, and his daughter's youth cannot be delayed.

After Shen Rui entered Beijing this time, Zhang Wei visited several times as a niece and son-in-law, and after the exam, he also came to discuss the test papers with Shen Rui.

If you look at it from the perspective of the article alone, Shen Rui thinks that Zhang Wei's answer is quite good, not to mention the first, at least he can be among the best.

It's just that this year's chief examiner is Zhang Cai, the secretary of the ministry, and Jin Gui, the right attendant of the ministry.

At the beginning, Zhang Yuanzhen and Jiao Fang fought quite hard for the position of heavenly official, although now the next one has passed away for many years, and one has also been a master, but Zhang Cai and Jiao Fang used to be a party, and it is not impossible to take Zhang Yuanzhen's descendants to do this kind of favor.

Especially Zhang Cai is staring at the cabinet now, and naturally he doesn't want Yang Ting and the party to have more help.

Thinking of this, Shen Rui couldn't help but sigh secretly, if it was like in the history of the previous life, when the grass grew on the graves of Liu Jin and Zhang Cai, and no one was in the way, Zhang Wei would definitely be a good result.

However, when Zhang Wei was mentioned, He Taizhi patted his head and said with annoyance: "I thought I would say it when I came back, but I forgot about this joy!" But it's a big deal! ”

Saying that, his expression became solemn, and he said, "Someone said today that Zhang Wei worshiped the mountain gate of Eunuch Liu. ”

Liu Jin? Shen Rui couldn't help frowning and asked, "Where did the news come from?" ”

At such a time, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and it is impossible to say whether it is slanderous or provoked.

Where is it so coincidental that this news fell into the ears of He Taizhi, who is related to some relatives?

"Today, when I met Zhang Wei in Huanxisha, I greeted Zhang Wei, and after we separated, Zhang Jianghang of the Shaanxi Hall told me. He said that he heard it in the guild hall that someone went to see Eunuch Liu because he was from Shaanxi and met Zhang Wei. ”

He Taizhi looked at Shen Rui's face and said, "It was also said that Zhang Wei worshiped Li Ge Lao first, but I don't know if he was rejected by Li Ge Lao, so he turned around and went to worship Liu Jin." They all said that in the end, it was Zhang Yuanzhen's grandson, a general drill camp style. ”

He Taizhi did not imitate the disdainful tone of those people, but sighed.

At the beginning, Zhang Yuanzhen was in the position of the servant of the ministry, and in order to compete for the book, he did drill camp everywhere.

As Li Dongyang's person, he married Xie Qian, turned around and went to connect with his cousin Zhang's family, and relied on his status as a teacher to let Shen Jin marry the infamous Zhang family's daughter at that time.

This kind of behavior made the scholars despised, and it also annoyed the emperor, so the official hat of the official secretary fell on Jiao Fang's head, and then the emperor promoted Wang Wei to be the left attendant of the ministry, and slapped Zhang Yuanzhen in the face.

Zhang Yuanzhen also fell ill because of this, and finally died.

But because he refused to retire after his illness, he was impeached by the imperial history, and his reputation became more and more unpleasant, that is, he died of illness and was placed on a rumor that he vomited blood because he couldn't fight.

Although several years have passed since this incident, Zhang Wei, as the eldest grandson of Zhang Yuanzhen, is still not immune to this reputation.

Now it is reasonable for Zhang Wei to go to see Li Dongyang, if he really comes out of Li Dongyang's door to worship Liu Jin, this is really the same as his grandfather.

"After all, this year's main exam is Zhang Cai." The Way of Ho Tai. "What they mean is that Zhang Wei was afraid of retaliation from Jiao Fang's party, so he went to give Liu Jin a gift."

It is reasonable to look at this sentence alone. But......

Shen Rui snorted coldly, "The chief examiner and Jin Gui!" According to what they said, this flattered Liu Jin, Zhang Cai would not be looking for a fault, but Jin Gui would be greatly displeased, wouldn't Jin Gui have a card for him? ”

Jin Gui was a Tanhualang in the third year of Hongzhi, and later elected Zhan Shifu, which was the standard imperial party.

Liu Jin once wanted to win over him, but of course he refused, but Liu Jin found a reason to belittle him.

However, in the end, it was the old man of the East Palace, who was registered with the emperor, and was soon put by the emperor in the Ministry of Rites.

In September last year, Jin Gui transferred from the right waiter of the Ministry of Rites to the right waiter of the Ministry of Officials.

Shen Rui also secretly speculated that although Brother Shou promoted Zhang Cai to the position of secretary of the ministry by Liu Jin, he raised his hand and wedged Jin Gui, the backbone of the imperial party who had a grudge against Liu Jin, to the position of the servant of the ministry.

He Taizhi hissed and took a breath and said, "That's what I said. It is said that Jiao Ge is always arched down by Zhang Cai, and Zhang Cai has not seen what Qi will do to Zhang Yuanzhen's grandson. But if he really goes Liu Jin's way, Jin Gui will not save face, I heard that this temper is very upright. ”

Shen Rui said with a cold face: "This rumor doesn't point to who it is." ”

Zhang Weiruo is just Zhang Yuanzhen's grandson, but he is still the son-in-law of the Shen family! The grandson-in-law of the Xie family!

After Liu Jin kicked the Xie family out of the capital, he liquidated the old Xie Party many times, and even pursued the seal. This Xie family and Liu Jin said that they did not share the same hatred, and it was almost the same.

If Zhang Wei is detained to give Liu Jin a gift in order to be on the list, this reputation will be insignificant.

It's just that his article is excellent, and he has a great chance of making the list!

A basin of sewage was splashed out of thin air, and it was impossible to hide, and the rumor-mongers had such vicious intentions!

Since then, I don't know how many bumps in the road of Zhang Wei's career will be!

And this move kills many birds with one stone.

Once they tarnished Zhang Wei's reputation, and then they came to accept such a shameless son-in-law, the Shen family also became a laughing stock!

Thirdly, although Jin Gui is not under any old cabinet, he is the same imperial party as Yang Tinghe, and now he is in charge of Zhan Shifu and is Shen Ying's superior. If this rumor reaches Jin Gui's ears, it will inevitably cause dislike......

Shen Rui gritted his back molars, patted He Taizhi, and said, "This is really not a trivial matter, I want to go to Yangge Old Mansion." ”

Then Shen Rui briefly told He Taizhi about his subsequent appointment and the change of officials in Dengzhou, and asked He Taizhi to go to Lin Futou in private to make him mentally prepared.

He Taizhi answered.

*

After resigning from Brother Shou today, Shen Rui came to Yue's house.

picked and talked about the conversation with Brother Shou, as well as Brother Shou's arrangements for himself and Shen Li, analyzed the trend of the situation with Yang Ting, clarified what he wanted to do in the near future, and took Yang Tian back to his parents' house by the way.

But less than an hour after he went back, people came again, and Yang Tinghe was also quite surprised.

After listening to Shen Rui's rumors about Zhang Wei, Yang Tinghe frowned and said, "It's really difficult to be a villain. Go back, and I'll have someone find out about it." ”

sighed again: "It's just that it's only been a day or two since the list was released, and even if it is found out, I am afraid there will be nothing that can be done." ”

It is clear that someone sees the right time to set the set.

Shen Rui said: "The green seal book is also going to be printed in the current text, I asked people to step up and publish it early, Zhang Wei's article is excellent, this article is public, and it will save some reputation." In the future, stay away from Liu Jin, this ...... Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people. ”

As long as Liu Jin is far away, he is not afraid that someone will bite Zhang Wei after Liu Jin falls.

He paused, and then asked Yang Tinghe, "Look at Jin Shilang's side...... Do you want to say hello in private, don't misunderstand. ”

Yang Tinghe said: "He is a smart man, he will not believe such an obvious thing." ”

Having said that, he still instructed Shen Rui: "It's okay to say hello, it looks close." You go to Master Mao's mansion, and Master Mao is good friends with Jin Gui. ”

This is talking about Sister Yu'er's husband's family, Mao Chi's father Mao Cheng.

Shen Rui responded and said that he would take his daughter-in-law to visit Sister Yu tomorrow.

However, on the second day, the results of the examination were announced.

Zhang Wei ranked fifth.

Shen Lin is the sixty-ninth, and Zhu Yunming's son Zhu Xu is seventy-five.

He Taizhi is one hundred and nine, this ranking is quite suspenseful, and the palace test is not careful, I am afraid that I will go to the top three with the Jinshi file.

Shen Yue and Zhu Yunming fell to Sun Shan again, and the children of the Shen family also failed to make the list.

The three of them had already discussed it before, and if it didn't work, they wanted to stay in Qingze Academy in Beijing for another three years.

Shen Zhou naturally welcomed it, and also said that the three of them should be spended.

Today's Qingze Academy is not the scale it was at the beginning, and it has become famous because of its talent in recent years.

Shen Zhou was quite prescient, and bought land and built a new house left and right early, and sure enough, there were six people in the autumn festival, which was also a sensation, and the number of people studying doubled.

Jinke got another Jinshi He Taizhi, and he became famous, and there will only be more and more students in the future.

With Zhu Xu's ranking, the palace examination is also the second class, and Zhu Xu hopes to be admitted to the Hanlin Academy, no matter how bad it is, he is also an official of the six departments, and he does not want to be released.

Since he was ready to stay in Beijing, Shen Zhou vigorously retained Zhu Yunming and Shen Yue to come to Qingze to teach.

Zhu Yunming continued to be unsuccessful, and couldn't help but be disheartened, seeing that his son was successful, he was relieved, and even if Shen Zhou invited him, he also agreed.

Shen Yue, a romantic painter, said that he was tired of painting Xiyuan and wanted to go to Dengzhou to see how Penglai Wonderland was painted.

Shen Rui naturally raised his hands to welcome him.

Dengzhou Juzi also achieved good results in this section.

Since the Ming Dynasty, the largest number of Jinshi in Shandong is Jinan Mansion, followed by Yanzhou Mansion, and Denglai is always the last.

From Hongwu to Yongle, Dengzhou is not a Jinshi, Xuande to Tianshun Four Dynasties, Dengzhou Jinshi is only eight people.

There are eleven people in eight branches in the Chenghua Dynasty and fourteen people in the six branches in the Hongzhi Dynasty.

Zhengde Dynasty, well, this department has just opened.

However, four people were hit in this opening, which is the first time in the world! is enough to draw a golden stroke in Shen Rui's political achievements!

The academy in Dengzhou was also gilded.

The number of Jinshi was somewhat unexpected by Shen Rui, but he didn't analyze so much, and he had already begun to plan the second phase of the Dengzhou University Town project.

The Shen Mansion was jubilant, and the old house of Shen Li was even more joyful.

After receiving the good news that his son and son-in-law had been hit, Xie Shi became excited, and immediately sent people to send letters to relatives everywhere, and asked Kuaima to send a letter to Shen Li in Jinan.

Zhang Wei and Shen Lin are both ranked high, and if there is no very special situation in the palace examination, they will definitely be Jinshi.

It's a double blessing!

Xie didn't know how many words of Buddha he recited, and he thought that he had finally come to the bitter end, his son-in-law was in high school, his daughter would be more decent when he got married, and his son would be in high school, so he could find a better in-law!

Xie really couldn't wait to visit Mrs. Yang Ge and ask her to match her to say goodbye to her son.

didn't think about it, happy and sad, as the list spread, there were rumors that Zhang Wei gave gifts to Liu Jin so that he could win the gold list.

When Xie heard this, he was sick and left-heavy, so he could only stay in bed.

She couldn't go out herself, so she hurriedly sent Shen Lin to find Shen Rui to find a way.

Shen Rui, on the other hand, was in a very complicated mood.

Guy Yang Tinghe sent a message saying that someone had been sent to investigate, and Zhang Wei's gift to Liu Jin was not a rumor, but a fact.

And Zhang Wei's gift-giving is not secret at all, anyone who inquires can know. I don't know if he's been calculated, or if he's ...... Don't care at all.

Shen Rui didn't know if the Xie family would ask to quit his family if he told the truth.

The Xie family has always weighed more than a thousand catties in the Xie family's heart.

And Shen Rui actually hesitated, Zhang Wei is certainly a talent, but such virtue, how can it be a good match!

After hesitating again and again, he still put it together, told Shen Lin everything, and also said that he had written a letter and sent it to Shen Li's office in Jinan Mansion quickly, hoping that Shen Lin would take care of and appease Xie before receiving Shen Li's reply.

Shen Lin was also angry, but it was a matter of his sister's life, and he didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only listen to what Shen Rui said, hide it from Xie Shi first, appease her, and anxiously wait for Shen Li's reply.

The reply to the letter could not be returned for ten days and half a month, the gossip outside continued, and the palace test was in front of him, Shen Lin felt physically and mentally exhausted for a while, and began to be afraid that he would not answer well in the palace test......

As a result, before the palace test, there was a sudden outbreak of spring fraud.

This news was like a thunderclap on a sunny day, attracting everyone's attention at the time, and no one paid attention to it at all.

While Shen Lin breathed a sigh of relief, he began to worry about whether the results of Chun Yu would be invalidated due to the fraud case.

He didn't know if he would have such good luck if he took the test again.

When Shen Rui heard this, he gasped and couldn't help but be suspicious.

- Thirteen Imperial Historians Lin Jinlong and other impeachments: "Jin Gui, the right attendant of the Zhan Shifu Department and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, should be given a bribe in the main examination and the housekeeper will be bribed." ”
