There was a thunderclap.

A holy decree was issued, stirring up a thousand waves.

The Holy Decree: Those who are above the third rank of Beijing officials can each send a son to the court guards, and those who have no children will be replaced by younger brothers and descendants. There are a total of 30 people, and those who are not selected will be left for later.

The selection of the children of high-ranking officials to enter the court to be the internal guards had an old practice in the previous dynasty. However, this dynasty has not existed since the founding of the country.

As soon as the decree was issued, many people couldn't sit still.

You must know that although it is called a guard, it is a shortcut to advancement, such as Wang Juan and Li Si in the Qin Dynasty, who were promoted from the guards of the King of Qin to the important ministers of the previous dynasty.

It was precisely because Li Si stated his interests in front of the young King Qin that Ying Zheng was impressed by him.

He Shen of the Qing Dynasty was also because he served as the emperor's close attendant, because Qianlong was angry, and Confucius questioned Ran Youji Lu in the "Analects": "The tiger is out of the sheng, and the guiyu is destroyed in the coffin, which is the fault?" ”

None of the others could answer, but He Shen replied loudly: "The so-called warden is deaf to his duty. ”

As a result, he was appreciated by Qianlong, and then became the most prominent favorite of the Qing generation.

The so-called building near the water gets the moon first, always by the emperor's side, there are naturally many opportunities to show his face, as long as he seizes one or two opportunities, he can be appreciated.

Compared with the cold window, it is more labor-saving and more secure to read the examination and dance and dance in the cold window.

On a more important level, many children of rich families are not proficient, such as Wei Chang'an.

For so many years, the Bao family has worked hard for the future of Wei Chang'an, and he didn't know how to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver just for the bundle of apprentices.

How can Wei Chang'an really be a wall of dung that cannot be stained, and he doesn't have a long reading head at all, and he hasn't read the four books until now.

When I see a book, I either have a headache or feel sleepy, and I often yawn and fall asleep without reading two lines.

Practicing martial arts is even more ineffective, and he can't even pull Zhang Xiaogong. I like horses, but my riding skills aren't very high.

So Bao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the news, this was simply pie in the sky.

As long as you can be a big internal guard, you can be a fourth-grade official at worst, plus Zuyin, this life is enough,

Wei Zongyong was also very happy and happily talked to Bao.

Bao Shi calmed down and felt not very optimistic when he thought about it, because Wei Changan had a stain on his body, and he was afraid that he would be brushed off.

Ouchi's guards are not ordinary, at least they must be of good character.

It has been less than a year since Wei Chang'an insulted his mother and maid, and it will not be good if someone mentions it.

Bao told Wei Zongyong about his doubts, and Wei Zongyong thought for a while and said: "This really can't be guarded against, in case someone makes a trip, it's not good." ”

"In my opinion, I have to ask the internal supervisor for help in this matter," Bao thought for a moment and said, "I will prepare a few heavy gifts, and you will find a way to dredge up tomorrow." ”

Ouchi's pre-court officials generally do not participate, and most of the time it is the internal supervisors who have the final say.

Those eunuchs are the most greedy for money, and they have no queen, so they must accumulate wealth to prevent old age.

Therefore as long as the money is given, there is nothing that they dare not do.

Wei Zongyong is not smart in other things, but these side doors are quite clear, so Bao is relieved to let him do it.

Shao family.

A group of people are also discussing who will be the guard, and the two sons of the Shao family's big house already have official positions, so this opportunity is for the three children in the second room.

"Do you three have any opinions?" Shao Tiantian asked: "This is a good opportunity, you don't have to take the imperial examination, and you can also find a future." ”

Shao Nan said: "I think the second brother and the third brother are fine, as for me, I plan to study for another two years." ”

Shao Tong shook his head and said: "I want to participate in this year's Spring Festival, if it goes well, I will be able to enter the department during the Autumn Festival, but I can propose to the Wei family in a year."

It will take at least three years to get through to the palace as a guard, and I can't wait. ”

Shao Tianzi coughed angrily, Shao Tong is like this, I can't wait for everyone in the world to know that he loves Wei Lanpei.

Even in front of his elders, he made no secret of it.

"You're really enough, if the land lord doesn't know that you're afraid you'll be shaking in the temple," Shao Ben, the eldest son of the big house, said: "It's almost enough, you didn't see the second uncle choking." ”

That being said, the tone was not serious.

Their brothers have always been kind, and even as brothers, they never put on a show.

So when he said this, Shao Tong just smiled back.

"Yang'er, do you want to go?" Shao Tiantian asked Shao Yang.

Shao Yang waved his hand and said: "Uncle, I want to respond to martial arts, this ambition has long been there, how can I say that change will change?" ”

Shao Yang is a well-known tendon, he recognizes two, you can't add one to one.

Shao Tiantian naturally knew that he had such a temper, so he didn't force it.

The two of them were so resolute that they had no choice but to let Shao Nan go.

Shao Nan is the most easy-going among them, knowing that this is the grace of the saints, if they don't go, I'm afraid it won't look good.

Although his own intention was to take the road of the imperial examination, the Shao family has many brothers, and they must be coordinated and taken into account, and they cannot be capricious to one or two.

So he readily agreed.

Renyong Mansion.

Although Feng Yi was sick, he still couldn't slack off on the news, if Feng Yuduo was still there, most likely he would go.

Compared with these two sons, Feng Yuchao is better, so even if he doesn't want this opportunity, he can come out quickly.

But now only the eldest son Feng Yuchao is left in the family, and there is no room for negotiation, so he can only go.

"Alas!" Feng Yi sighed and said, "The family is unfortunate! It would be nice if Jade Duo was still there. ”

The loss of a son since ancient times is the saddest thing, not to mention the unclear death of Feng Yuduo.

Because of Tan Rui's slut, Feng Yuduo's reputation was also damaged.

Feng Yi was naturally depressed to death, and he couldn't explain them one by one.

simply closes his eyes and doesn't listen or look, outsiders like to say whatever they want, as long as he believes that his son is innocent.

Half a month later, thirty new guards joined the company, including Wei Chang'an, Shao Nan, Feng Yuchao, Yan Yuntang, Jing Yu, Guan Zuo and others.

Bao spent tens of thousands of taels of silver, and finally let Wei Changan successfully enter the company.

Although some people said that Wei Chang'an did not meet the requirements, but he couldn't resist the clever words of those internal supervisors, the emperor listened to their suggestions, and felt that Wei Chang'an was excusable, not to mention the face of the Zhiyong Mansion.

After all, the four kings and eight princes made great contributions at the beginning, and they were the founding fathers of the country. Now only one king and three dukes are still in the capital, and it can be said that most of them have withered.

This selection was originally a reward for the merits of the ministers, and in this case, it is necessary to focus on the overall situation.

However, Wei Changan doesn't care about this, he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and he feels that it is more convenient to make friends when he joins the job.

You can hang out together during the monthly shift.

Some of these noble children usually gang up, and some don't like each other.

Therefore, these people were divided into several groups, but Wei Chang'an was like a flower butterfly, constantly shuttling between several groups to meet each other, and he was still smug.
