"You are a role model, only seventeen years old, you are a pillar of talent, cultivate well, there will inevitably be no day when the marquis will pay homage to the prime minister. But once you are still in charge, the emperor can no longer reuse you, and the Great Jin has lost a talent in vain, which the emperor does not want to see. If you agree to Concubine Jin, from a psychological point of view, the emperor will be disappointed in you; In addition, you have to take care of the royal face, and he asked you to do it, but your future will be about the same as the fifth grade. ”

"So......" he concluded, "Lord Shang has nothing to do except to pull the family into the muddy waters of taking the heir and standing in line, and you yourself will be angry for a lifetime." ”

Duan Chen couldn't help but rejoice and sighed: "It's so complicated. ”

Duan Boheng smiled: "Officialdom, that's it." It's good that you get used to it. ”

"Concubine Jin and King Ming, you won't retaliate against us, will you?" Duan Chen was most worried about this.

He knows very well that those who are in high positions will not talk about evidence. Even if the uncle plugs the loopholes and arranges things without the slightest flaw, as long as Concubine Jin and King Ming feel that his refusal to do the family affair is a slap in their face, they will retaliate.

Duan Boheng shook his head: "Why did you fall out of favor with Concubine Dao?" Why was King Ming reprimanded? Because in the past two years, they have targeted Zhao Zhiwei many times, which annoyed the emperor. Today, Concubine Jin called you to go, and you refused to be the master, so you can't hide this from the emperor. If something happens to you and the Duan family when you turn your back, the emperor will definitely settle this account on Concubine Jin's head; Those who are hostile to them will also take advantage of this to make a big deal and weaken their power. So they won't target us for this kind of idleness and give the enemy a trick. So you can rest assured, it will be fine. ”

When Duan Chen heard this, he couldn't help but sigh again: "It's so complicated. ”

Duan Boheng knew that his nephew was concentrating on his studies when he was young, and he was simple-minded. Now it's okay for him to engage in learning, but if he is engaged in politics, he has to train him well.

He patted him on the shoulder: "As long as you know more, you will naturally think of so much." Don't be stressed. ”

Duan Chen nodded.

"What are your plans?" Duan Boheng asked.

"I want to marry Zhao Zhiwei." Duan Chen lowered his head in a low mood, "But I sent a post to visit a few days ago, and I was rejected; Just now, I didn't give up and invited her to swim in the lake, but she still refused. ”

When Duan Boheng heard Zhao Zhiwei, his eyes suddenly lit up: "This is a good family business, much better than Lord Shang." The Suiping Bofu and Mr. Deadwood's faction are royalists, which is a perfect fit. ”

He said, "It's okay, I'll ask your aunt to send someone to find out." If you propose a parent, you have to come forward with your elders. If Zhao Zhiwei promises you, it is called self-respect. Now how many people in the capital are staring at her, she has to be cautious in every move, otherwise she will embarrass the emperor. She wouldn't do such a stupid thing. ”

Duan Chen's eyes lit up: "Really? Is this why she didn't agree to swim in the lake? ”

Duan Boheng was afraid that his nephew's expectations would be too great, and the result would be too disappointed, so he hurriedly said, "That's not it." Although you are excellent, there are also many outstanding families in the capital. Regarding Zhao Zhiwei's family affairs, Suiping Bofu didn't know how to consider it. Mr. Deadwood loves this little apprentice the most, Zhao Zhiwei's family affairs, maybe Suiping Bofu can't be the master. ”

Duan Chen's eyes dimmed again.

Yes, he is a famous talent in Jiangnan; But when I arrived in the capital, it was nothing.

……

Zhao Ruxi Yujie boasted that the official participated in the Qionglin banquet again, and when he was sent back to Suiping Bofu by Zhu Hehuai, he saw Suiping Bofu full of lanterns and people coming and going at the door.

The Zhao family and neighbors came to congratulate each other. The people from the second and third rooms also came a long time ago to help the old lady and the Zhu family entertain guests.

When Zhao Ruxi entered the door, he naturally ushered in another wave of inquiries and flattery.

finally sent away the clansmen and neighbors, and Zhao Ruxi asked Zhu: "Where is my master, where my father is, have you sent someone to deliver the letter?" ”

Although the master and his old man will definitely send someone to look at the list, the number of courtesies that should be fulfilled in the Suiping Bofu is still to be fulfilled.

"Gone and went." Zhu nodded, "How can you forget this?" ”

In Zhu's cognition, Zhao Ruxi can have today, most of it is due to Kang Shilin's credit, otherwise how could the emperor name her as the champion? She couldn't have imagined that her daughter's talent could stand out from the crowd.

After saying this, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Zhao Ruxi: "Do you want to go and tell your master in person?" ”

Zhao Ruxi wanted to be released, so he asked Kang Shilin to enter the palace and tell the emperor that he directly gave up the first-class jinshi.

Now that the emperor has named Zhao Ruxi as the champion, what is the reason, and how should Zhao Ruxi be arranged next, Zhu feels that Kang Shilin has to let Kang Shilin enter the palace to inquire.

Zhao Ruxi nodded and stood up: "I'll go to Kangfu." ”

If it weren't for the scruples of others gossiping, saying that she didn't want to go back to the house to tell her relatives as soon as she was admitted, but ran to hug Kang Shilin's thigh, she would have gone to Kangfu directly.

said that the second class, but the emperor did not play cards according to common sense, and she was caught off guard, and she was in a hurry to discuss countermeasures with the master.

In fact, she has always had a mind that she hasn't told anyone.

She can't be the champion, she can't get into the first class. In addition to the reason why she wanted to go out, it was because she didn't want to enter the Hanlin Academy to be a Shujishi.

Hanlin Yuan is the emperor's secretarial office, and the office is located in the palace.

Before the new Jinshi comes out, the first-class jinshi of the new department should follow the official to draft a holy decree for the emperor, write documents, and do some secretarial work that the emperor ordered to do.

In these work, they will understand the situation of the entire Great Jin Dynasty, take a holistic view of the overall situation, cultivate the overall situation, handle things, and work skills, and also cultivate feelings with the emperor.

After they are released or go to various ministries to become officials, because of this experience, they are more capable than other officials, and they can know more clearly what the emperor likes and what the emperor does not like. Will assist the emperor from the periphery to complete some of his layouts.

These people are the key training objects of the emperor and the imperial court, and they are also the fastest promoted group of people.

Therefore, it is the wish of all candidates for the imperial examination to be a first-class jinshi and become a Shujishi of the Hanlin Academy, but not Zhao Ruxi.

As an unmarried young woman with outstanding appearance, she went in and out of the palace all day long, staying by the emperor's side. Not to mention that this will put Xiao Lingyan in an embarrassing situation, the hundred officials and those men with dirty thoughts think too much, which will affect her reputation, and it will also cause the jealousy of those concubines in the harem, so as to secretly poison her. She didn't dare to guarantee that the emperor Xiao Qi would not think about her, so she directly issued a holy decree to summon her into the palace and make her a concubine.

She has never gambled on human nature, so she will not enter this Hanlin Academy no matter what.

Therefore, she had to ask Master to think of a way before the list of newly promoted Jinshi officers came out.
