Chapter 456: It's also a civilian
What was the grand occasion when Li Ge was there?
Most of the officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee have a teacher-student friendship with him, and the same is true for those students who enter the DPRK once every three years.
Now that feng shui has changed, people who take the initiative to win over may not be willing to come.
Ji Yushen smiled faintly, "Who said I was going to win them over?" β
Li Shilang's face changed greatly, "What do you mean, my lord?" When Li Ge Lao was in the court, it was ......"
"Alright."
Ji Yushen didn't want to listen to Li Gelao.
Although the person is dead, his enemies at that time, whenever he mentions him, he will always think of the tragedy of the Lingnan Ji family.
would even think that Li Ziyue's words when she entered the palace to question Su Youyi almost became someone else's handle and killed Su Youyi.
Fortunately, when he entered Beijing to take the exam, he was not talking about his hometown of Ming County, where he and Su Youyi grew up, but Cangxian County, the former residence of his grandfather.
At that time, he was just worried that since Li Ge Lao sent someone to destroy him, if he knew his true identity, he would kill him together, so he used his ancestor's origin.
Unexpectedly, a small move at the beginning, but many years later, it helped him and Su Youyi.
It's really a fate.
Ji Yushen said: "Why was the Li Party not allowed by the emperor in the past, why it was suppressed so that it is in its current state, don't you understand?" Now we still have to stick to the old ways of forming parties for personal gain, which will only make the emperor even more intolerable! β
Li Shilang was stunned and slowly sat down opposite Ji Yushen.
Ji Yu breathed a deep sigh of relief, "Feng Shui takes turns, and now is not the current situation of the year. Now that the court is controlled by the emperor, and the courtiers he uses are loyal to him, do you still want to restore the momentum of the Li Party back then? Stop dreaming. β
"Do you think that the emperor let Su Qing be the chief examiner, really just to promote the queen?"
Li Shilang was puzzled, "It's not for the queen's mother, so what's it for?" Now the court and the central government say that Su Qing has gone lucky, and a daughter has died and a queen has been replaced by a queen mother, so that he has today's scenery. β
Ji Yushen shook his head, "Of course, his scenery is due to the queen's mother, but without him, there is also Sima Hu, and even Zhou Gelao." In the final analysis, the emperor is trying to take the power into his own hands. β
Li Shilang was taken aback when he heard this, thought carefully for a long time, and finally understood what Ji Yushen meant.
It seems that the emperor is not here to promote Su Qing...... Instead, he deliberately set aside the power of Ji Yushen, the first assistant!
He pondered carefully, "Since the adults know this, how can they still have the leisure to stay in the mansion?" My lord, you are the first assistant, how can you be willing to give up the power to others? β
Ji Yushen almost sneered.
It's naΓ―ve.
It's no wonder that when he was in the Li Party, he had the same surname as Li Ge, but he never got close to the center.
Ji Yu looked at the chessboard on the table again, "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." Slowly, it's just to empty the power of the first assistant, even if the emperor wants my life, how can I resist? β
"In the previous dynasty, the king even abolished the position of first assistant and put all the power in the hands of the monarch. Now if our emperor wants to follow suit, I have nothing to do. β
He spread his hands.
Li Shilang sat down dejectedly.
Yes, Li Ge Lao was so powerful back then that he was helpless, let alone Ji Yushen today?
It's just that he always feels that Ji Yushen is smarter than Li Gelao, more low-key and cautious, and knows how to protect himself and the power in his hands.
He believed that what Li Ge Lao couldn't do, maybe Ji Yushen could do.
"Shousuke-sama, is there really no way?"
Way?
Ji Yushen picked up a white seed and shook his head, "There is a way, but after I sent that prescription out, I was completely passive......"
"What's the prescription?"
Li Shilang was completely puzzled, but Ji Yushen didn't respond to his words again, but slowly dropped the white piece in his hand on the chessboard.
Bang Bang β
Cold fingertips.
β¦β¦
"Son, are you sure?"
Seeing that the date of the spring festival was imminent, Su Heng was even more nervous, but he couldn't do anything except stew soup according to the prescription of the imperial doctor every day.
Su Zhiming seemed to be calm day by day, "The child doesn't know either." It's just that this trip to the capital, even if he can't pass the exam, the child feels very rewarding. Being able to consult with the old gentleman invited by the queen mother, as well as Uncle Su's guidance, the child felt that he had improved a lot. β
Su Heng didn't know anything about reading, so he only said: "When you were a child, you studied with your cousin uncle for a few years, and then your cousin was gone, and you studied by yourself for a few years, and then you went to the county to study with the old gentleman for a year when you were admitted to Xiucai." It's been more than ten years since you learned from the east and west, and it's not as good as what you learned in less than a month after you entered Beijing? β
"Not really."
Su Zhiming was a little embarrassed, "When I was a child, Uncle Tang naturally taught me well, and taught many sages how to behave, but I was young at that time. As for the imperial examination, it is not just a matter of the book. β
"Lingnan is a small place, unlike the majestic weather in Beijing. Uncle Su is also an official in the court, and he is also the chief examiner this time, so with his guidance, it will naturally get twice the result with half the effort. β
Su Heng somewhat understood.
This imperial examination is about how to be an official, and the person who is an official personally instructs him on how to be an official, of course, it is more useful than studying hard.
Hearing this, Su Heng was immediately relieved, "In this way, my son will be able to go to high school this time, so don't worry about my father!" β
β¦β¦
"Brother Su!"
"Hey, Brother Su, are you here?"
On the day of the exam, the lifters arrived early, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were responsible for supervising the venue.
Many scholars knew Su Zhiming, some were candidates from Lingnan, so they naturally knew their fellow villagers, and some of them were only known to Su Zhiming after he arrived in the capital.
He is too famous as the queen's cousin, and it really makes people have to look sideways.
When many candidates heard that his surname was Su, they stopped to look at him.
Su Zhiming only greeted a few Lingnan candidates he was familiar with, "You are all here, are you still stable in your heart?" β
"We have been here for a long time, and we are all waiting for Brother Su, hoping to get a touch of your blessings!"
I think that when he was in Lingnan back then, Su Zhiming was the poorest among the others, and he only had a padded jacket in winter, and he didn't even have a change of clothes.
But he studied diligently, so everyone never looked down on him, and it wasn't until Zhongju had the support of the local state capital that his conditions gradually improved.
But all this was disrupted by a holy decree of the emperor.
At that time, it was spread all over the state capital, and it turned out that the current queen was not only from Lingnan, but also from a small village in Ming County!
When that place was mentioned at that time, they remembered that it was Su Zhiming's hometown, and joked that Su Zhiming would be a distant relative of the queen's mother, and it would be developed now.
Unexpectedly, he is not only indeed a family relative, but also the only cousin of the queen's mother!
