Chapter 157: The Banquet (3)

It can be seen that Eunuch Liu is still very vigilant, but it is indeed a bit surprising that there is a stinky kid on such an occasion as the reception banquet, no wonder Eunuch Liu asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It turned out to be a student of Master Chen, no wonder he looks dignified."

When Eunuch Liu heard Chen Fangyin's explanation, his gaze at Xie Shen warmed up a lot. Being stared at by a eunuch with such a smile, Xie Shenzhi was a little cold, but it was not easy to attack, let alone how uncomfortable it was.

And this eunuch Liu can't speak too much, what do you mean by "It's a student of Lord Chen, no wonder he looks dignified?" "This Elder Chen is not his father, how does he Xie Shen have anything to do with Elder Chen?

A dead eunuch, what a dead eunuch......

Secretly slandered a few words, but Xie Shen still had to be humble and listen to the teachings of Eunuch Liu, the "elder".

The confrontation between the scholars and the eunuchs of the Hongzhi Dynasty was not as sharp as it was at the end of the Ming Dynasty. A large-scale confrontation like that of the Eunuchs and the Donglin Party is far from appearing.

Rao is like this, there is already a faint trend of confrontation, and many officials who are close to the eunuchs are ostracized by their colleagues, and even participated in the imperial history. However, these are small-scale and sporadic incidents, and their impact is really limited.

The difficulty of the official road is difficult to go to the sky. The difficulty in this is not only the difficulty of being an official, but also the difficulty of choosing. One wrong step, one wrong step, and there is not even a chance to turn back.

"Liu Gong has a reputation."

Xie Shen has been a human being in two lives, and he can still do everything he should have on his face.

Eunuch Liu said a few more words, which were nothing more than encouraging Xie Shen to study hard, enter the court as an official as soon as possible, and share His Majesty's worries.

Depending on the position, the position will naturally be different.

Eunuch Liu is a person from the inner court, so he naturally has to think about the Son of Heaven everywhere. And a reader like Xie Shen focuses more on social issues. The line between these two points is somewhat blurred, but it's still not the same.

After a brief conversation with Eunuch Liu, Xie Shen returned to his seat with Chen Fangyin.

After sitting down, the boy let out a sigh of relief.

Although I have been prepared for a long time, and I have gone through the words in my head several times, I am still nervous when I actually say it. After all, standing in front of him was a big eunuch with a lot of power, and his momentum would definitely suppress Xie Shen a few points.

Fortunately, Xie Shen's performance was decent, not very good, but he didn't lose points.

There will be many opportunities like this in the future, and you can sharpen it a lot.

But the more important thing is the township examination two years later, after all, the imperial examination is hard power. If you can't get a Jinshi background, you can drill the camp again, what can you do? Flies camp all day long, but the foundation is more than one level worse than others, and it's ridiculous to talk about the network or something.

is not in a circle, even if you can get in touch with the so-called big shots, you will only be used as a pawn.

In officialdom, in fact, as long as you understand one point, it can bring some benefits to others.

This is a person's core competitiveness.

The gap between officialdom rookies and masters is also seen here. Officialdom rookies often think about what they can get, and the first thing the old fritters think about must be what benefits they can bring to others.

It's not that everything has to be exchanged, but the general idea is always that.

Take the matter of eunuch Liu going to Hangzhou to take up his post, the reason why he did not stop all the way was to rush to Hangzhou as quickly as possible.

This is for the sake of the Son of Heaven and for the sake of the Son of Heaven. As soon as the decree is gracious, as a courtier, it will be carried out immediately, which is the respect for the imperial power.

The interests of the Son of Heaven were guaranteed, and the interests of Eunuch Liu were also guaranteed.

If you take it in advance, you must give it first.

Those who ask the other party how to cooperate with them as soon as they come up will most likely hit their heads and bleed.

Xie Shen was thinking to himself, and officials of all sizes took turns to come forward to toast Eunuch Liu, in order to make a familiar face.

However, the patrol press Yu Shi Pei Chang did not get up, and only drank by himself.

Xie Shen was not surprised by this. After all, the duties of the imperial historian and the eunuch are similar, and the division of powers and responsibilities is not clear. The two of them have the same responsibility to supervise local officials, and if they get too close, they will inevitably be caught by people with good intentions and make a big fuss.

Since the Son of Heaven sent a patrol to supervise the local officials according to the imperial history and a town guard eunuch, he just didn't want to listen to the words of the family.

Otherwise, if only one person is stationed, and that person is still in cahoots with local officials, and there is a nest of snakes and rats, won't the way of speech be blocked?

The Son of Heaven sits upright in the court, and it is impossible to know everything about things thousands of miles away. If the supervision officials were all in collusion with the local officials, the Son of Heaven would have really lost all channels of information and would have become deaf and blind.

The patrol of the imperial history represents the foreign ministers, and the eunuchs of the town guard represent the eunuchs.

With the two of them checking and balancing each other, no one would have the audacity to collude with the local officials in an attempt to deceive the Son of Heaven.

Taking a step back, if one of these two really dares to do this, the other person can also find out in time, and immediately write a note and send it to the Jingshi to present the Son of Heaven's Imperial Review.

The eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven are not so easy to do, not only to supervise the officials, but also to be willing to be the target that is stared at.

So from Pei Chang's point of view, it was the most correct choice for him not to befriend Eunuch Liu. If he went to show goodwill to Eunuch Liu like the rest of the officials, and didn't say what other officials would think, he would have already lost points in the heart of the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven has a criterion in his heart, and no one wants to artificially deviate from this criterion.

Xie Shen secretly observed, and also learned a lot. Sometimes it is rare to be confused, but confusion is a manifestation of great wisdom.

It is said that Jane is in the heart of the emperor, not that he must create a big event for the Son of Heaven to remember, but to reassure the Son of Heaven.

If everyone is vying to make a big event and create a sensational effect, it is not what the Son of Heaven wants to see.

Pei Chang can do the imperial history, and his comprehension is naturally superior. He must come to this banquet, and if he doesn't come, it will be disrespectful to Eunuch Liu, and this kind of offending thing can't be done. But when he came, he couldn't get close to Eunuch Liu, and the best situation was to stay as close as he is now.

Eunuch Liu is not stupid, and he must be able to understand Pei Chang's intentions. The two played a double reed to show the officials, so that they could rest assured, and also reassured the Son of Heaven in the forbidden palace thousands of miles away.

Xie Shen knew that Hongzhi Tianzi's attitude towards eunuchs had changed significantly several times.

At the beginning of his reign, the lord of Zhongxing tried his best to suppress the eunuchs, but after a period of time, he found that without the checks and balances of the eunuchs, the civil officials were really difficult to control and control, so he reused some eunuchs to divide the power of the civil officials.

To sum it up in one sentence, it is that Emperor Hongzhi's imperial mind is becoming more and more sophisticated, and in this context, if anyone is engaged in the matter of uniting the party again, it is really too long to work against the Son of Heaven.
