Silence, the scene that greeted Guo Zonggao fell into a terrifying silence.

The officials kneeling on the ground include the prefectural school's teachings, the fuxue's gentlemen, and professors. There are seventh-rank officials, sixth-rank officials, and several fifth-grade officials of the imperial court, and there is even a fourth-rank official, which is the same level as Jiang Yao. These people were all puzzled by Qin Li.

What's going on with this Qin Li? He was just a small county school teacher, and he was so sloppy to the dignified governor that he stood up and did not kneel. Isn't that the rhythm of obvious death?

The most incomprehensible thing is that it is enough for Qin Li to die alone, but there is also an ignorant person with him. The world is so crazy!

There were two people who didn't kneel, and Guo Zonggao was obviously dissatisfied, because the official sedan chair still didn't move. Liu Er, the military attache standing in front of the official sedan chair, had a pig's liver color on his face.

You must know that he is the personal guard of Governor Guo Zonggao, and he is also a seventh-grade official in terms of rank! In Liu Er's imagination, the best officials in the county school are the eight grades, and there are more who do not enter the stream. The official in a small county school said that when he saw the governor, he should have bowed down even when he saw himself. Could it be that the two men standing were stupid when they heard that the governor was coming, or were they crazy at all?

Liu Er frowned, and his cold face glanced at Qin Li and Hai Rui again. Both of them looked proud, and they didn't mean to bow their heads at all. Liu Er was surprised to find that there was a trace of disdain in their eyes.

Liu Er was completely blinded, and after a short period of blinding, there was monstrous anger. With a "stagger", the bright scimitar was unsheathed. "Why don't you two kneel? Didn't you hear me? ”

"I heard that, isn't it the Governor here?" Qin Li and Hai Rui replied almost in unison.

The two of them were secretly surprised after speaking, and couldn't help but glance at each other and smile at each other.

Qin Li couldn't understand why Hai Rui had such a big courage, it was a dignified governor, a member of the imperial court. Hai Rui's little edict despises Shangguan so much? Is he that outlier? Is it so personal? Qin Li really couldn't understand how a person like Hai Rui could become an official of the imperial court at such a young age.

Qin Li only pondered Hai Rui, forgetting that he was the same as Hai Rui now, and stood proudly. That look. That unruly state is more than three points higher than Hai Rui!

In fact, in the past, Qin Li would definitely not do this. But today is different, because he has expected that he will not be promoted, and it is very likely that the current petty official will be dismissed by the imperial court. He secretly thought that the young master had no future in officialdom anyway.

The most unacceptable thing for Qin Li is that this governor is too bullish and too big. Before you get off the sedan chair, let people kneel, but the master doesn't kneel, see what you can do with the master?

In Qin Li's opinion, it can be concluded that he is not a good official just from the governor's style, since he is not a good official, there is no place for the master to respect, and the master will definitely not kneel to you.

To offend Jiang Bin is to offend. It doesn't hurt to offend another governor.

Jiang Yao kept glancing at Qin Li and Hai Rui with an expressionless face. He didn't know Hai Rui, but he was too familiar with Qin Li. He knew that although Qin Li usually had a hippie smiling face, he looked like a gangster, and sometimes he was good at pretending to be a grandson, and his flattering face was disgusting. But this guy is proud and arrogant in his bones. When he was in Yangzhou, he was even a powerful minister like Jiang Bin, Qin Li didn't pay attention to it, and he slapped Jiang Bin's face again and again, and in Wang Dingsheng's house, he even broke Jiang Bin's sharpness, making Jiang Bin disgraced.

The reason why Qin Li didn't kneel was because he rebelled against Governor Guo Zonggao. Hehe! In this way, it seems that this kid is really a bit backbone. Such a person is really rare for Daming!

At this time, Jiang Yao not only did not worry about Qin Li, but showed a little relief and appreciation on his face.

No one knows Guo Zonggao's actions better than Jiang Yao today.

It is said that Guo Zonggao is a good official who is dedicated to the people and is willing to do his best for the Ming court. The reason why today is such a show. He wanted to take the opportunity to test Qin Li.

Qin Li made a compromise in Yangzhou, and finally asked the emperor to behead the great eunuch Wu Jing, which was very happy. The Jiangdu County School is even more impressive, creating a precedent for Daming education. At this time, Qin Li's reputation was not only well-known in Yangzhou. It's the whole Jiangsu that talks about Qin Li, and everyone gives a thumbs up.

But Qin Li is a sixteen-year-old boy after all. A young man made such a big move in a short period of time. This made Jiangsu Governor Guo Zonggao think about something that he couldn't understand and couldn't believe.

In Guo Zonggao's view, Qin Li is just a flattering sycophant. It is because of the emperor that he has today, and he is a person who sells his reputation and reputation. Hehe! Speaking of which, his opinion of Qin Li is the same as Jiang Yao's previous opinion of Qin Li.

Guo Zonggao moved to see Qin Li's thoughts, and this was to come to Yangzhou Mansion. Although Jiang Yao said in front of him that Qin Li was a genius, he was a demonic genius, and Guo Zonggao was also skeptical.

So accompanied by Jiang Yao, he first staged the scene in front of him, wanting to test whether Qin Li was a flatterer.

How can it be said that Guo Zonggao is also a second-rank member of the imperial court, even if he doesn't get off the sedan chair, Qin Li should be busy kneeling if he is a flatterer.

But the fact is that the military attache Liu Er shouted at Qin Li not to kneel, that is, Guo Zonggao got down from the sedan chair, Qin Li was still in a high-spirited state, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows still contained a trace of disdain for Guo Zonggao, and he said that he knelt.

Guo Zonggao is a thin old man in his fifties, and the most conspicuous thing is that his two eyes are extraordinarily bright, shining brightly, revealing a shrewdness. He looked at the people kneeling on the ground with a smile on his face, but suddenly stopped his gaze on Qin Li and Hai Rui, who were holding their heads high and looking proud.

Guo Zonggao strode in front of Qin Li and Hai Rui, probably because he had a heart, and he could judge who Qin Li was at a glance. He smiled and said, "You two are not small, you dare not kneel when you see this official, this is to eat the board!" ”

slandering Shangguan in Daming, disrespecting Shangguan is not as simple as eating a board, and if you don't get it right, you will be imprisoned. But Guo Zonggao had a disapproving attitude with a smile, which made Qin Li stunned for a moment. immediately looked at Guo Zonggao again, how did he look at it, how did he feel that he was not an official like Jiang Bin and other ministers. Qin Li thought to himself, could it be that I made a mistake? This Guo Zonggao is also a good official?

Before he could figure it out, Jiang Yao behind Guo Zonggao said, "Xiao Li, what do you kid think?" If you don't kneel if you don't see Lord Guo, it's understandable, don't you give a salute when you see Lord Guo at this time? ”

Jiang Yao spoke very calmly, without the slightest anger.

After all, Qin Li still knows Jiang Yao and admires Jiang Yao very much. Qin Li didn't have time to think about it, Jiang Yao's words had to be listened to. He hurriedly knelt down to give Guo Zonggao a big salute. Unexpectedly, Guo Zonggao stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile, "Excuse me!" Take the official to see your county school and see what is peculiar. ”

Qin Li hurriedly smiled and said, "Obey!" ”

Guo Zonggao glanced at Hai Rui again and said, "You are also a little arrogant, what is your name?" ”

"Fujian Nanping taught Hai Rui, I am a lifter, and I don't kneel when I see officials, so I don't kneel and bow to Lord Guo." Hai Rui arched his hand and said solemnly with a straight face.

"Huh! You are all good, a good official does not kneel, and this official was as rebellious as you when he was young. I am not afraid of being rebellious, but I am afraid that I have no real talent and real learning, and I am arrogant! Guo Zonggao still smiled.

……

Qin Li led the way, and it took Guo Zonggao and his entourage more than an hour to complete the inspection of the county school. Although Guo Zonggao is a little older, he is a very enlightened and progressive old man. He said to Jiang Yao, "Old Jiang, we are still old, and we can't catch up, this Ming is still the world of young people after all!" No wonder you always praise this boy in front of me, he is indeed a genius! The afterlife is terrifying! ”

Jiang Yao nodded frequently and said, "Lord Guo, according to the lower officials, this Qin Li's talent is more than that. Now that the county school is on the right track, the lower officials can't see that Qin Li will not play much role in this place. Xia Guan thought that a genius like Qin Li should let him exert more light and heat! ”

This Jiang Yao obviously wanted to promote Qin Li's official position.

Qin Li's teachings were Zheng Qipin officials, who were appointed by the imperial court. Although Jiang Yao is the prefect, there is nothing he can do to promote Qin Li's official position. Jiang Yao is very self-aware and knows that his own weight in the court cannot be compared with Guo Zonggao. Therefore, if you want to promote Qin Li's official position, it is more certain to ask Guo Zonggao to come forward.

"Huh! You old Jiang Tou, this official knows that you have ulterior motives for letting me come this time. Guo Zonggao still said with a smile.

It can be seen from their words that they have a great relationship.

Guo Zonggao glanced at Qin Li again, full of appreciation, and said with a smile, "Okay!" After the official went back, he wrote a book and recommended this little ghost for the court. ”

As soon as these words came out, Qin Li was immediately grateful. But then Qin Li thought that although Guo Zonggao was a member of the imperial court, his face was indeed not small, but no matter how big his face was, could he surpass Jiang Bin? With Jiang Bin in the sideways, I, Qin Li, want to be promoted, it's difficult!

Then I thought of Huang Tian again, and said that Huang Tian had been going to Nanjing to deliver letters for half a month. But so far, there has been no news. Could it be that Huang Tian was in some trouble, or did the emperor simply ignore his credit for discovering a huge salt mine for the imperial court? (To be continued.) )
