Chapter 85: The Two-Year Covenant

Saying this, Sun Dan felt a sense of relief on his body.

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he already had a clear idea.

If I worship under Yang Shen, I may be able to "send me to Qingyun with the strength of the good wind" when he first entered the officialdom. "But when Yang Tinghe comes down from the position of the first assistant of the cabinet in the third year of Jiajing, he will be unlucky with him.

Speaking of Jiajing, many places are a bit like the Yongzheng Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. He has a very strong political skill and a strong will. But he is narrow-minded, and he has a clear distinction between love and hate. Admire a person, he loves it to the extreme, and once he hates a person, that person is not even as good as shit in his eyes.

The controversy over the great gifts in the early years of the Jiajing Dynasty seems to have been caused by the Jiajing Emperor for his father, King Xing. But in fact, it was a struggle between imperial power and relative power, and a political disagreement between the emperor and the civilian clique.

Emperor Jiajing has always been ruthless towards his political opponents, and there is no mercy to speak of.

After Yang Tinghe resigned from his position as a cabinet minister and returned to his hometown to retire, Yang Shen became the official group of the imperial court, which was the first target that the emperor needed.

After a series of political battles, Yang Shen was exiled to Yongchangwei, Yunnan, and only returned to his hometown in Sichuan more than thirty years later. In the end, he made no achievements in politics.

After the fall of the Yang family's father and son, most of the Yang officials were also demoted.

Not only that, but the case of 100 officials from the Jinyi Guards Department of Jiajing suing Yang Shen in the sixth year of Jiajing is even more extensive. Yang Tinghe's other son, son-in-law, and protégé were all demoted to civilians and arrested and imprisoned. On the way to Beijing, one of Yang Tinghe's righteous sons committed suicide because he was humiliated and angry.

Since then, the entire Yang civil official system has been swept away by Jiajing.

This is also Sun Dan's prophetic perception of history as a modern person.

If you worship under Yang Shen's door now, you may be able to become a big official in the next year or two. However, once Jiajing ascends the throne and the throne is stable, what awaits his grandson is unforeseen danger.

Why is Sun Dan working hard now, isn't it just to get ahead in this damn Ming Dynasty and live a corrupt life of fine clothes and food?

If you really talk about it, he doesn't have any political ideals for the country and the people. The future ceremony or something, in the eyes of a modern person, is very ridiculous and ridiculous.

"My Sun Dan came to the Ming Dynasty to make soy sauce, why should I be involved in this kind of thing?"

"Sun Dan can't worship under Mr.'s door." Once he made up his mind, Sun Dan did not hesitate.

Hearing this, Sun Henian's face changed greatly, and he looked at Sun Dan with an incredible expression, and the three long beards were windless.

Yang Shen saw Sun Dan's refusal, and he was not angry, but smiled calmly and asked, "Brother Sun Dan, do you look down on my talent?" ”

"No, Master Yang is the first scholar in the country, and he is the champion of the dynasty. In my Ming Dynasty, if it is said that the memorization is the most extensive and the writing is the most abundant, there is no one left or right by Mr. Being able to worship under Mr. is a dream of any student. However, Sun Dan really can't worship under Mr., please forgive me. ”

"Bastard!" Sun Henian slapped the table.

"Brother Henian, don't be angry, listen to Brother Tan'er's words." Yang Shen continued to ask Sun Dan: "Little Brother Sun must have some troubles, you and I had a great time on Daming Lake that day, and we are already friends who have forgotten the year, so you might as well say it if you have something to say." ”

Sun Dan naturally wouldn't say to him that you Yang Shen is going to be unlucky, if I follow you, not only will I be taken off my hat and lose my reputation in the future, but I will also have a high probability of staying in prison for the rest of my life. You Yang Shen are famous all over the world, and the emperor will not do anything to you. But a little horn like me, a court staff, is killed and killed, and no one cares.

If you talk to him about this now, you will definitely be treated as an idiot.

To be a human being, you must learn to refuse, and when you reject others, it is best to be on a moral level.

"Back to Master Yang, Sun Dan has already worshiped under Mr. Li Meiting, if he turns to you now, it is not the reason for Sun Dan to be a man. A gentleman should stand in his own way, and be loyal and filial piety, courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame should be put in the first place. If Sun Dan rejoins the disciple of Mr., will he not be the disloyal and unrighteous person. Sun Dan really did this, can Mr. still see me? Sun Dan said solemnly: "If Bachelor Yang is the current teacher, according to the rules of the department, Sun Dan can call Mr. Teacher." However, if you do this, your students, Sun Dan will not agree. ”

"Good!" Before Yang Shen spoke, Sun Henian had already praised him. He was originally Mr. Morality, and Sun Dan's words were going to his heart.

Yang Shen also shouted hello and stood up excitedly: "It's really good, it's really good, it's not in vain that I'm a person Yang Shen values." With the style and bones of the ancients, it will definitely become a great tool in the future. Brother Henian, if the Sun family has such a child, it will be prosperous. ”

The famous Yang Shen's praise, Sun Henian proudly "touched" his beard and said: "A little child, you should not use the praise of Xiu." ”

Sun Dan breathed a sigh of relief: this level has finally passed.

"People say that Sun Dan is the Sun family's thousand-mile horse, so he gave up, but Yang Shen was a little unwilling." Yang Shen walked up to Sun Dan and suddenly asked, "Little Brother Sun, you can be confident in the autumn of the next year." ”

Sun Dan: "Try your best." ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the capital to take the exam, and see if you are a jinshi." Yang Shen laughed and said, "When you are selected to enter Beijing to take the exam, I should ask the Son of Heaven to be the chief examiner." When you get into the Jinshi, I will naturally become your teacher. If you don't get in, you're not qualified to be my student. Brother Sun, when it comes, are you willing or not? If you want, we'll make a two-year appointment. With that, he stretched out his hand.

"It's really ...... to use cultivation" Sun Henian shook his head again and again, and said secretly: Sure enough, it is a habit of a talented man, and he can even think of this kind of thing.

Sun Dan reluctantly high-fived Yang Shen and made this bet with him: "If I win the Jinshi in two years, Mr. Yang will be the chief examiner, and Sun Dan will naturally come to worship you as a teacher." ”

If there is no deviation in history, Jiajing will open Enke in advance next year, and the two-year contract will only be invalidated. If you really get into the jinshi, you don't need to go to the apprenticeship. Besides, next year is the most lively year for the Great Rites Discussion, and the emperor and the Yang family are in trouble, so naturally Yang Shen will not be allowed to do the main examination and strengthen the civil and official power of the Yang family.

Sun Dan was not worried.

Withdrawing his palm with satisfaction, Yang Shen suddenly remembered: "Little Brother Sun, you almost couldn't enter the gate of the Gongyuan Academy this time, is it because you missed the hour because of snooze." He already knew about this matter from Wang Yuanzheng, and he was very dissatisfied with what the Sun family had done, so he wanted to take this opportunity to give Sun Dan a long ambition.

Sun Dan smiled slightly: "The kid is just a little gardener in Sun Mansion, and he has work to do every day." On the day of the exam, I happened to have work at hand, and I rushed over after I finished it. Fortunately, Lord Wang opened the net and let the students into the examination room, otherwise it would be ......"

"Otherwise, it's a big mistake." Yang Shen nodded: "It's clear that you are lazy by nature, but you want to find this kind of excuse." The little brother of the Sun family, my generation of scholars, every day and three times, how can he shirk responsibility and not take responsibility? ”

"Yes, sir." Sun Dan said sincerely.

Yang Shen shook his head: "It's good to know that it's wrong, I'm busy with affairs, so I'll take the first step." Leave. ”

Seeing the back of Yang Shen leaving, Sun Henian's face changed, and he turned his head and asked Mrs. Liu: "Madam, did Sun Dan arrange work in the early morning of the exam?" Who arranged it and how? ”

Mrs. Liu raised her head and glanced at Sun Dan fiercely, but there was a hypocritical smile on the corner of her mouth: "But I don't know about it, the concubine has been in poor health recently, and the affairs of the house are entrusted to Aunt Jing, so the master can ask her." ”

When Aunt Jing heard Mrs. Liu say this, her face immediately became without a trace of blood.

Fortunately, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and Sun Henian did not want to be entangled in this matter: "Madam, deduct her for half a month." By the way, arrange an independent courtyard for Sun Dan and let him study hard. By the way, I want to officially record the names of the three generations of Sun Dan's ancestors and grandchildren in the family tree. From today on, Sun Dan is the official son of my Sun family, and no one is allowed to be rude to him. ”
