In February, it is the triennial imperial examination, which is called "spring". んん1

The people of Jinyiwei can also take the imperial examination. It's just that as early as last year, he gave up taking the township exam. Anyway, now that high-ranking officials have to do it, what kind of imperial examination will they take?

However, Li Xiu's father-in-law, Yang An, wants to take the imperial examination, and the place of the examination is in the Rite Tribute Academy in the capital.

The old man came to the capital, and Li Xiu naturally wanted to greet him.

Li Xiu's brother-in-law, Yang Yuankui, also followed Yang An to the capital.

Li Xiu saw him a few years ago, the guy is very smart, and he studies very hard, I'm afraid that he will be able to take the exam in two more years.

Originally, the imperial examination would take nine days, but Yang An didn't have time to take care of him, so he didn't plan to take him to the capital. Li Xiu took the initiative to mention that it was better to come out for a walk and have a look, and let Yang Yuxuan take care of it.

At that time, Yang Yuankui was still very unconvinced, he was already an adult, and he didn't need others to look at him, but everyone was stunned for a while.

The exam is on the 9th, and there are still a few days left. Li Xiu picked up someone, and on the same day, he and Yang Yuxuan took his father-in-law and brother-in-law to visit the capital.

Yang An has been participating in the imperial examination since he was a teenager, and now he is in his forties, and he made a move three years ago. He didn't have much hope for this exam.

To everyone's surprise, when the list was released in late February, Yang An actually won the list. Although he is the third and the last few, he is also very satisfied.

Since he won the list, he will be given the same Jinshi background after the end of the palace examination.

There are more than 200 people who will be admitted to the examination, and if there is no relationship, it is not easy to get an official vacancy. Ordinary people have to wait at home for two or three years before they have the opportunity to become an official.

Of course, if he can be selected for the Hanlin Academy when he selects the Gilis for the imperial examination, he may be a future cabinet assistant. It's just that most of the people selected by Ji Ji are young and talented, and it is unlikely that Yang An can be selected.

Li Xiu decided to go to the ministry to check out the relationship with the old man.

Generally speaking, officials who are released from abroad will not be in their hometowns. If there is chaos today, it is not safe anywhere else, and it seems to be a good choice to put him in the Jiangnan area as a county or something.

Although Yang An was a little bookish, he was not a very pedantic person, and after listening to Li Xiu's thoughts, he agreed after thinking for a while.

Before you know it, two months have slipped away.

During this period, the Qing army invaded Korea, a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and Korea was defeated and surrendered.

This matter does not have much impact on Li Xiu, he should make money and make money, and he should train and train. However, the rebel armies from all over the country ran out to make trouble again, which attracted his attention.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the rebel army had three relatively large forces, led by Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai. In addition to the three major domains, there are many comparative forces.

Li Xiu was calculating in his heart that once the war extended to Henan, he would be able to use this as a reason to ask Zhu Shaoye to ask for the restoration of the three guards.

As early as a year ago, Zhu Shaoye followed his advice and sent a generous gift to Zhu Youzhen on the grounds of celebrating the Spring Festival. There is nothing unusual about these things, just one word is expensive!

Since he knew that Zhu Youzhen was short of money, he gave him something valuable, so he could naturally gain his favor. In this way, when King Zhou proposed to restore the three guards, the possibility of success would be greater.

As soon as Li Xiu arrived at home, he heard that Luo Yangxing had sent someone to invite him over.

When he came to Luo's house, Li Xiu was taken directly to Luo's study.

With his intuition, he knew that Luo Yangxing came to him because he had something serious to discuss, and he couldn't let outsiders know about it.

Sure enough, as soon as the door of the study was closed, Luo Yangxing frowned and asked, "I heard that you have been selling salted fish recently?" ”

Li Xiu was stunned when he heard this, nodded and said, "That's true!" ”

Luo Yangxing looked at him with a smile and continued: "There is only one fish in a car? ”

"Hey, hey"

Li Xiu smiled dryly: "My lord, I know this. ”

Luo Yangxing opened his mouth, and finally just sighed: "Many people are doing this, and I can't persuade you." But I have to warn you, you have to learn to be sharp. You are still young, you don't know the danger and treachery of the eunuchs, and now you are deeply favored, I don't know how many people are thinking about you behind your back, if someone catches the handle, no one can save you. ”

These words were extremely sincere, and Li Xiu was a little moved. Luo Yangren is not related to him, but he is willing to remind him like an elder, which is very rare.

Thinking about it carefully, in less than a year, he has been prosperous all the way, and he is indeed a little sharp, which is a taboo in officialdom.

Usually let you be an official in a high position, maybe one day, a certain thing can completely defeat you. There are countless examples of this throughout the ages.

Li Xiu nodded solemnly and said, "Xia Guan understands, thank you for reminding me!" ”

Luo Yangxing thought about it for a while, and said again: "The Li family is a famous businessman in Kaifeng, and with your Li family's financial resources, there should be no shortage of money." As the eldest son of the Li family, you are so earning a little bit of interest and collecting money with all your heart? ”

Li Xiu smiled: "This business is not mine alone. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Isn't it that my lord hasn't appeared, and Grandpa Cao has often come to me recently?"

"You are"

Luo Yangxing was surprised, stretched out his finger and pointed upward, and when he saw Li Xiu nodding, he knew that his guess was correct.

Under normal circumstances, most of the things done by the celebrant eunuchs were done by the emperor, not to mention that Cao Huachun was still Zhu Youzhen's cronies.

This Li Xiu can actually serve today's saints in business.

This news is so shocking!

After pondering for a while, after thoroughly digesting the news, Luo Yangxing reminded again: "Even so, you still have to be cautious, if something really happens, that person may not be able to protect you." ”

He's telling the truth, if it's an ordinary thing, it's fine, but selling smuggled salt is not a thing. Once people get the handle, if the emperor wants to calm down the anger, Li Xiu may have to come out and carry the black cauldron.

"Don't worry, my lord, I'm measured." Li Xiu replied.

"Okay, if you have more, it will be verbose, just know it yourself."

Luo Yangxing stood up from the chair and said, "By the way, if you have time, go over and sit with Yanran, if you can let her recover her memory." ”

“”

Li Xiu was speechless, why are you going to let me sit down with your sister and talk about it?

After these days of contact, he can kind of see some taste. This Luo Yangxing always seems to want to push himself to Luo Yanran?

Although there was such a speculation in his heart, Li Xiu was not sure. This kind of thing, it sounds a little too incredible. Although he is a little handsome, he won't let his sister do it willingly, right? (To be continued.) )
