Zhao Ruohai, the county magistrate, was taking a nap in the study at the moment, and when he heard the footsteps, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked up.

Seeing that it was Xu Yan, he cheered up and said with a smile: "At that time, you are not at home to read the book, why did you come to the county government again." ”

"Enlightening Teacher, the students are here to offer auspiciousness."

Zhao Xianling was completely sleepy for a while when he heard this. He heard him right, right? Offering auspiciousness?

Xiangrui is a thing that would rather be believed in than in its non-existence.

Since Xu Yan came so solemnly, there must be something to say.

"County honor, please take a look."

Xu Yan walked to Zhao Xianling with the wooden basin, first put the wooden basin on the table, and then removed the lid.

Zhao Xianling looked at it fixedly, only to see a white turtle slowly moving in the wooden basin, and subconsciously took a breath of cool air.

He has been an official for so many years, of course, he has heard of the legend of the white turtle, but he has never seen it with his own eyes.

I can't imagine that there really is such a holy thing in the world.

"Where did you get this white turtle?"

Zhao Xianling's excited beard trembled a little, and his face was full of smiles.

"Don't hide it from the teacher, this is also the unintentional acquisition of the people in the house when they buy it, and the students don't dare to hide their secrets, so they come to offer it to the teacher."

Xu Yanxin said in his heart, I can't explain to you what genetic mutation is, so he continued: "There is a way that the white turtle comes out, and the saint appears. Students must be wise and martial today, so that there will be a white turtle in the world. Why don't you dedicate this auspicious fortune to today's son? ”

Xu Yan's words can be regarded as speaking to Zhao County's heart.

He has been a scholar and the first official to be released, and he has been up and down in the sea for more than ten years, but he is still a seven-grade sesame official. Originally, Zhao County Ling was already disheartened, and planned to mess around with Zhishi. Who would have thought that he would be rewarded by the governor for his meritorious service in defending the land, and his future would be great for a while.

This time, a white turtle suddenly appeared in Dinghai County, and if it was dedicated to the Son of Heaven as an auspicious Ruijin, it would be a great merit.

And these two things are because of Xu Yan's contributions.

At this moment, Zhao Xianling simply felt that Xu Yan was his lucky star!

"Well, that's right! When the son is bright today, God will make the white turtle appear. As a minister of this county, it is natural that he should offer auspiciousness! ”

After a pause, Zhao County ordered Xu Xu to continue: "However, this county can't be greedy for merit, and it is most appropriate for the governor to do this matter." The county sent someone to Hangzhou to send the white turtle to the governor! ”

Hearing this, Xu Yan was also relieved. He was originally a little worried that Zhao County Ling would be greedy and not hand over the white turtle to Zhu Kun, but now it seems that Zhao County Ling's political consciousness is still qualified.

In this way, although it was Zhu Kun who finally offered auspiciousness, Zhao Xianling and Xu Yan would be jointly and severally rewarded by Emperor Jiajing, which can be described as a happy ending.

If you want to take the road of taking the imperial examination and mixing the court, you must have a background backer, and the biggest person Xu Yan can contact at the moment is Zhu Kun. Only if Zhu Kun sits firmly in the position of governor of Zhejiang, Xu Yan's future will be very good.

"Teacher, the student has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."

"It doesn't hurt to say it in time."

Now Zhao Xianling looked at Xu Yan very pleasing to the eye, and waved his big hand.

"Didn't the teacher say hello to the prefect in advance about this matter?"

Zhao Xianling said with a smile: "The county is not confused to that extent, let alone the prefect of Ma, the big and small yamen in Hangzhou will be notified by the county." ”

Xu Yan frowned and was silent, but there was a little drumming in his heart.

It seems that Zhao Xianling does value this auspicious rui a little and sees it as the only chance to turn over. But Xu Yan still felt that it was a bit inappropriate to only inform the Ningbo prefect.

"Teacher, in the humble opinion of the students, the teacher should go in person to offer auspicious rui and walk with the prefect."

Skipping the level to report this kind of thing is taboo in officialdom. Zhao Xianling is a fan of the authorities, and although he intends to dedicate Xiangrui to Zhu Kun, he bypasses the Ningbo prefect, which is inappropriate. As a bystander, Xu Yan couldn't watch Zhao Xianling go astray.

If he really bypassed the Ningbo prefect and found Zhu Su directly, the Ma prefect might not say anything, but secretly he would definitely keep wearing small shoes for Zhao County.

After all, he is the top boss, and Zhao County Ling is really not to be offended.

As for going in person, firstly, it is to show that he attaches great importance to Zhu Kun, and secondly, Xu Yan is worried that Zhu Kun will not accept this auspicious rui.

After all, Zhu Kun is too upright, and he has more confidence in the dissuasion of his subordinates.

Zhao Xianling's face was a little solemn when he heard this, and he knocked his fingers repeatedly.

After being silent for a long time, he sighed and said, "What I said is right, it is indeed the county that lacks consideration." Fortunately, it was timely to remind the county, so as not to make a big mistake in the county and regret it too late. The county will order people to prepare carriages and horses immediately, take this white turtle to Ningbo Fucheng, and then go to Hangzhou with the prefect! ”

Seeing that Zhao County's order "lost and returned", Xu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Students wish their mentors success!"

Xu Yan slapped a sycophant without a trace, and Zhao Xianling was so uncomfortable.

"At the right time, you have made a great contribution to this matter, and this credit will be remembered by the county for you!"

At this moment, Zhao Xianling is extremely appreciative of Xu Yan. This young man is not only talented in learning, but also very measured in life, and his future must be limitless.

"Students don't dare to take credit, they only hope that good officials like the teacher and the governor can be rewarded by the Son of Heaven and benefit the people."

Seeing that what he said was almost done, Xu Yan took the initiative to leave: "The student still has to go home to review his studies, so he won't bother the teacher." ”

Zhao Xianling bowed slightly, and watched Xu Yan leave with relief.

Xian Xiangrui This kind of thing should not be postponed, since it has been decided that Zhao County will send an order to prepare the frame, he will go to Fucheng in person!

......

......

Back home, Xu Yan was in a good mood.

As one of the tens of millions of people in the Jiajing Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, his influence is still too small.

But at least he saved the people of Dinghai County from starvation by donating food himself. Now, if Zhu Kun can win the favor of Emperor Jiajing and stabilize his official position by offering auspicious rui, perhaps the history of southeast Fujian and Zhejiang will be quietly rewritten.

Maybe it's the butterfly effect.

This feeling is very strange, Xu Yan is no longer a speck of dust in the long scroll of history, but a person who changed history.

Maybe Qi Jiguang can go out of the mountain and be entrusted with a heavy task earlier, maybe the troubles in the southeast can be pacified earlier, and maybe Zhu Su will not die......

Of course, in order to truly and directly influence the trend of history, Xu Yan also needs to devote himself to his career as soon as possible.

However, this year is the year of Dabi, and Xu Yan will be three years later if he wants to enter the department.

At present, what Xu Yan has to do is to actively prepare for the exam, and strive for the government examination and the hospital examination to win the fame of Xiucai.

The road is long, I will go up and down and seek!
