What Xue Chengwen wanted, strictly speaking, should be two things.

The first thing is to ask the old man to take a shot, carry him out of the Ministry of Rites, and promote him to the Ministry of Household to be Langzhong.

The second thing is to ask him to be a staff officer, join the camp of a certain prince, and fight for the dragon's merits.

Wang Xu sorted out his thoughts, but he couldn't say it for a long time, and he didn't know where to start.

On the bright side, the three princes with the support of the Zhu Party have the best chance of winning, after all, the current power of the family has overwhelmed the imperial power, and even the saint has to compromise with the family.

Secondly, the eight princes supported by the saint are on par with the five princes supported by the Hanmen, and the two are inseparable.

The eight princes have the support of the saints, but there is no help from the two parties, and the five princes have the support of the poor family, but they are not sacred hearts, and they are not favored.

At the moment, it's too early to say who has the better chance of winning.

As for the six princes that Xue Mushan loved, they could not pose a threat to the three princes at present, and the chances of winning should be the smallest.

It's just that the battle for the prince has just begun, and even if Zhuge Liang comes, he doesn't dare to draw conclusions at this time.

Wang Xu could only keep silent about this, for fear of pointing out a wrong path and letting Xue Chengwen embark on the road of no return.

After all, the Xue family was kind to him, and he didn't want to hurt the harmony of the two families because of this.

"Uncle, with all due respect, the battle for the heir has just begun, and it's too early to end." Wang Xu does not agree with Xue Chengwen's ability, and he also does not think that this is a good opportunity to end up.

Xue Chengwen is different from the old man, and the old man is also a cabinet candidate.

Even if you support the six princes in the end, if you lose the bet, it will be the end of saying goodbye to the old man and returning to his hometown, no matter how you say it, there is room for maneuver.

Xue Chengwen is different, if he loses, he will never have a chance to turn back, and he may not even have to take the future of his juniors.

Why is this so, because identity is not the same as status.

The old man is a first-class member, no matter which prince ascends the throne in the future, even if it is to appease people's hearts, he will not persecute the old man too much.

What does Xue Chengwen have, a little grasshopper, he can't see his identity clearly, and he will end up, saying that death is really dead.

"That's what you think?"

Hearing Wang Xu's statement, Xue Chengwen's face was quite cold, as if he didn't believe his words, and was more inclined that Wang Xu didn't want to help, these were just excuses.

Wang Xu observed his words, how could he not know Xue Chengwen's thoughts, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle, the saint is still young today, about the same age as you, does it really matter who is the crown prince?" ”

The crown prince is important, but more important is the king of a country.

Today's saint is immortal, the prince will always be the prince, the princes in the court were blinded by the word prince, thinking that mastering the prince would control the future, but in the end they forgot that the prince can be abolished, not that the future of the prince must be the prince.

On the other hand, the saint is still young, less than fifty this year, and if he can live for one or two decades, where should the prince go.

Throughout the ages, the longer the emperor, the more dangerous the position of the crown prince.

Unless the prince does not fight, the more he fights, the faster he will die, and don't underestimate a king's exclusive desire for power.

Today, the Holy Lord supports the eighth prince who is only 13 years old and is only a half-grown child to become the crown prince, and he may not be wary of those older princes.

After all, in ancient times, people got married relatively early, and the three princes supported by the Zhu Party and the five princes supported by the Han Party are now over twenty years old.

I am getting older day by day, but the lion cub is growing day by day.

The lion king of the herd will often chase away the lion cubs that are adjacent to the adult in order to maintain his rule.

People are not lions, but the principle is the same, plus the royal family cannot cultivate is the consensus of the three religions, even if you are an emperor, you will be turned into loess for a hundred years at most.

Today's saint is Mingjun, but if he can transcend the cycle of life and death, Wang Xu does not believe it a hundred times.

Therefore, those who laugh now may not be able to laugh last.

The end is too early, unless the idea of forcing the palace is played, otherwise it is not known who will kill the deer.

"Nonsense!"

Wang Xu spoke thoroughly, but Xue Chengwen, who was in the game, was not touched at all.

As soon as Wang Xu heard this, he knew that no matter how much he said, it was useless.

The current Xue Chengwen, just like the person who was pulled into the pyramid scheme, only has interests in his eyes, and if you tell him that it is a scam, he thinks that you are lying to him.

The damned person can't live, seeing that Wang Xu didn't say more, Xue Chengwen left with an unhappy face.

Seeing him leave, Wang Xu sighed and whispered: "Li Lingzhi is dizzy, two generations of the Xue family want to play chess and fight for wealth, this signal is very dangerous." The old man is better, he plays chess with strength, but this one is miserable, and he is based on luck.

Anyway, I'm still at ease with scientific research, let's do research with peace of mind, for the sake of the past, I will help when the time comes. ”

Wang Xu believes in building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king, knowing that the most important thing is strength, and everything else is trivial.

If the old man is not a great Confucian, but a sage, he can make the six princes become the crown prince with one sentence, and even make the current saint abdicate.

In the final analysis, in the end, it is the strength that depends on it, Wang Xu, the hero of the later stage, I don't believe that anyone can fight him in the later stage.

In a flash, three days passed, and thousands of talented people gathered in the capital, waiting for the upcoming examination.

The examination is the Jinshi test, and the second-class and third-class jinshi will be produced in this examination.

As for the champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua, the three top names are actually not from here.

The top 100 candidates will be allowed to enter the Jinluan Hall and participate in the palace examination presided over by the emperor.

The top three in the palace examination are the champions, the eyes of the list, and the flowers, and if they can't be selected by the emperor, they will become the first in the second class.

Wang Xu was born in Yangzhou, he is Yangzhou Xie Yuan, and according to convention, the worst is also a second-class jinshi.

However, he didn't have much hope that he would be able to enter the top three in the temple examination.

The examination was presided over by the minister, and the palace examination was the emperor.

If you don't like the emperor, the emperor won't point you to be the top three in the palace test, and it just so happens that Wang Xu, who was born in the Zhu Party, is such an unlikable person.

Therefore, Wang Xu knew that he would definitely miss the top three in the palace test this time, not for anything else, just to point him to be the top three in the palace test, which was not in the interests of the emperor.

After all, he is not from a top family, and he is not the successor of the Zhu Party.

The Zhu Party will not give up its interests for him, like the emperor to compromise, in exchange for raising his noble hand, and in the absence of interests, how can the emperor increase the vitality of the Zhu Party for no reason.

Wang Xu's goal is very simple, the second-class jinshi is enough, and he does not enter the court as an official, and the first-class, second-class, and third-class titles are useless to him.

For those who want to be officials, the champion of the first class is directly awarded the official position of the sixth grade, and the post of editor of the Hanlin Academy is given, and the prefect of the fifth grade is released after three years.

The second in the first class, and the third in the first class, Tanhua, are directly awarded the official position of the sixth grade, and the starting point is stronger than that of the second grade, which is what those who study and become officials like.

Wang Xu doesn't want to be an official, let alone a second-class jinshi, even a third-class jinshi, which is no different from him.

Because the great Confucianism after Jinshi is achieved only with the approval of the Heavenly Dao, the Confucian Temple, the Shilin, the people, and the Quartet, and has little to do with the dynasty.

At the level of Jinshi, strictly speaking, as long as you have no desires and no desires, the court can no longer do anything to you.

You don't see it, after many Jinshi are in the middle school, they will go to the mountains and forests to resign and not do it, and the emperor will not come to invite people out of the mountains.

This is not arrogance, but that the reader has reached this stage, and he already has the capital to sit firmly in the Diaoyutai regardless of the wind and waves.

What Wang Xu needs now is obscene development, accumulation of fame, broken things in the officialdom and seizing succession between princes, let those who are obsessed with power go.

He would rather be an idle crane and swim in the twilight of the North Sea than be a dog.
