The list of the examination will be followed by the palace examination.

The palace exam will be ranked quickly.

Champion, Yuan Shijie, grandson of Master Yuan, list eye: Zhong Dingwen. Tanhua: Shen Ziyang.

Manfeng and Wu Xue ranked second and eleventh respectively. For a while, the three of them were in the limelight, and various political factions explicitly hinted that they were constantly being co-opted and brought under their doors.

But the three of them were unmoved, and devoted themselves to helping their families manage affairs at home. and under the Holy Decree.

Seven days later, the three holy decrees appeared in the Shen family's capital residence.

Shen Ziyang, who was admitted to Tanhua, was awarded the post of editor of the Hanlin Academy (Zheng Qipin) by the emperor, and in the future, he will enter the cabinet or become a historian of the royal family.

The Hanlin Academy was the country's most important reserve center for officials, responsible for repairing books and writing histories, drafting edicts, and reading for members of the imperial family. After Tanhua entered the Hanlin Academy, although they were engaged in some clerical work on a daily basis, it was of great help to exercise their political ability.

For example, Hanlin was responsible for the compilation of the records of the previous emperors, which strengthened Hanlin's understanding of the political situation during the reign of the previous emperor. Hanlin helped the emperor to draft edicts of general documents, and this work helped Hanlin to adapt to government affairs and strengthen his familiarity with state affairs.

Man Feng was originally able to be elected as a member of the Hanlin Academy, and Wu Xue held a small transparent official position in the Ministry of Rites.

This is the emperor who came to ask Shen Xinran's opinion in private, and this is the first case in Beichen Kingdom.

Shen Xinran was surprised by Ah Hyun's idea, but he did not explicitly refuse, only said that he would discuss it with his younger brothers and what he could.

"Personally, I don't think it's good to stay in Beijing, firstly, because of the position, there is not much room for progress, and secondly, our family has no roots in the capital? There is no bottom. Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and the human heart does not know how many layers of skin are separated. Like you little radish baskets, I don't know how many innocent people are in the pot a year. When you go to various places, you can show your strengths, make some achievements, and then be promoted step by step, and then transferred back to Beijing. The merit is there, so no one dares to think that you are a cat or a dog and quietly go. Shen Xinran analyzed the trade-offs in place and let them know, of course, the final choice is still in their hands.

"I'm not suitable for the capital, so it's better to go to a remote area to be a parent official and show my strength." Man Feng smiled with relief, this was what he said in his heart. During this time, I lived here, and I was never happy in Yishan Village.

"I also want to develop in other places." Shen Ziyang is the same, he learned a lot from Shen Xinran in Yishan Village, and he wanted to show his ambitions in other places and apply what he had learned. He wanted to see with his own eyes the place under his jurisdiction rise rapidly.

If he has a sister, he has a brother, and he didn't lose face to his sisters.

"I, I also want to be a local official." Wu Xue also carefully stated his position, and stopped talking about it, but finally mustered up the courage to ask.

"But I don't know what Ah Jing thinks, although there is no development in the official position in the capital, there is no need for her to leave her hometown and work hard with me. But I still want to go to the local government to be an official. I want to apply what I learned from my cousin. Let them move from poverty to food and clothing, so that more families can get out of poverty and learn knowledge. ”

For a while, everyone was relatively speechless, and they didn't know how to persuade him to choose. After all, he fell in love with Wen Jing, and it was he who climbed high. On the other hand, it is their own will, and it is really not something they can help decide.

"Wu Xue, you are also a person who is about to become a family and make contributions, you have to make your own decisions about everything, and others can only give advice. But no matter what you decide, Dad won't interfere with it. As long as you're happy, think it's worth it, and don't regret it. You're Daddy's pride. "Wu Qiang carefully said his thoughts, maybe he has traveled a lot and has seen a lot." Men are ambitious in all directions, and those who have the ability are uneasy. ”

"Well, cousin, I'll give you an answer tomorrow." Wu Xue said a little absent-mindedly, and if he continued to discuss it, it would only add to his annoyance, so he went back to the room to meditate after saying hello.

He and Wen Jing only became familiar with each other after a few contacts. Originally, he liked it a little when they met for the first time, but he felt that he was not worthy, and it was only later that the two of them got along. After breaking the ambiguity, knowing that she was also pleased with him, he was so happy that he didn't know the world.

After the lift, he went to his mother with Jiefu, urging her to come and prepare to come to the door.

At first, they didn't go well, it was Mrs. Wen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were in charge of the case, and Wen Lanshu was forced to agree because of filial piety, if he knew that he gave up the opportunity to stay in Beijing and chose to work in other places. So where do they go from here?

It is not his will to stay in Beijing. He wants to embrace what he has learned, and wants to live a different life like his cousin. This is full of struggle, and the unknown is the life he wants.

"Kids have the right ideas, and they'll make the best choice." Man Yong comforted.

"Third brother, I personally think that you three, you are the most suitable to stay in Beijing, your official position is currently the highest, and it is also more valued than the two of them. You are the hole card that they can work in the field without worries. With you, they have the opportunity to transfer to the capital in three to six years, and at that time, they can combine their connections inside and outside the three to occupy a place in the capital. In the same way, Ziyang also needs the people in your hands. You have to be together, so that you can go farther and farther and smoother. So don't just think about the present. Of course, your will matters. If my cousin chooses to stay in Beijing, it's best not to go against his wishes. ”

The political situation is like this. If it was before, she wouldn't have thought like this, thinking so transparently and so far. This is also thanks to Wen Qiaohan's occasional analysis of the situation, and she also thought of it subtly.

It can be said that Wen Qiaohan's analysis is informed one by one. This is a game, a game of life and death, winning, how the situation changes, losing, and there are no bones.

"The second sister is right, we have the right time, place and people, the court is facing a major reshuffle, and it is a good time for you to rise. Your heart is for the people, and you want to ask for the people's lives, which is of course the best. Sometimes you don't have to go to the front to experience the value. Logistics is often the decisive force. Personally, I also think that no matter who it is, one of the three of you must stay in Beijing. It has nothing to do with the level of official positions, and it must be smashed until one of you can gain a firm foothold in the capital. Shen Xinran said casually. She didn't believe that Zimao's blessing would help him stand unsteadily. Of course, this is the final hole card, and no one wants to use it if they have no choice.

Shen Youlu felt that tonight's topic was too heavy and it was no longer suitable to go on. They need to think calmly and weigh the pros and cons, which is what they need most.

Under Shen Youlu's order, everyone dispersed. Thinking about the future road of life, life is like this, the road is long and long, there is no end in sight, but it is full of temptations and decisions, important and arduous!

This requires them to weigh and decide for themselves. Once you choose, no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, you must go all the way without hesitation, and you must clearly understand what you want all the way? What is the original intention? What's the bottom line? What do you want the end result to be?
