Chapter 842: Flattery

The matter of breaking the embankment is very important, and according to the emperor's current thoughts, Qian Huichun will most likely not survive, and his family will not be able to escape from it.

For the sake of the eldest son who survived, how could Qian Huichun have to make meritorious service and ask the emperor to spare the eldest son's life, right?

On the other side, Chen Zhao, who finally stepped out of the mountain, wiped the sweat stains on his forehead and tightened the things in his arms. He looked at the avenue in front of him and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Zhao was covered in muddy water at the moment, and he could only vaguely see that the clothes on his body were originally a white middle coat.

Chen Zhao pursed his dry lips, looked around, and found that there was an open farmland in front of him.

This is the other side of the mountain, this place is completely different from the Changtianfu side, there is no silver from the flood at all, Chen Zhao's heart is a little sad.

The scene was peaceful, and people could be seen working in the fields in the distance.

The flood took the lives of his father and fellow villagers, and even the prefect committed suicide to apologize for this incident, and he didn't know what happened to his family.

His heart was sad and worried, and he didn't know what was waiting for him in front of him.

He took two steps and looked up at the sky, where it was not raining and it was gray. Through the clouds, he saw a glimmer of light.

At this moment, Chen Zhao couldn't help but show a glimmer of hope in his heart, as long as he lived, what was the hurdle that he couldn't get over?

He took a deep breath and continued to walk forward. He didn't eat or drink for the past two days, so he could only pick up some wild mushrooms and wild vegetables in the mountains to satisfy his hunger.

If he hadn't had some skills, I'm afraid he would have died in the belly of the beast long ago.

Hungry in his belly and scorched in his mouth, Chen Zhao glanced at the distance from the nearest village and found that it was not far away.

He decided to go to the village first to ask for some food and water, and let the village carriage take him to the Yingnan Mansion Government.

He had just walked a few steps when suddenly, he saw an ox cart coming towards him, and his eyes lit up.

......

"Haha! The virtuous nephew is young and promising, and now he is a student of the Hanlin Academy, and this official is really admired! ”

Li Taixing, the prefect of Yingnan Prefecture, laughed, raised his wine glass, and drank with Min Feng.

"Where? Master Li praised it falsely, Xiaguan is really nothing. Although Min Feng was a little proud in his heart, he couldn't show it.

Li Taixing squinted slightly, and then complimented: "Don't be so modest, since you entered the officialdom, you have not been promoted two levels in a row since you entered the officialdom, this is the envy of others!" It's those same years of yours, and now they're still boiling on the seventh grade! ”

Li Taixing was flattering for a while, but he was muttering in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a powerful Shoufu Lord as a teacher, with your Min Feng's ability, you would be able to be promoted two levels in a row?

The imperial court takes the imperial examination once every three years, and the major state capitals are full of talents, but it is not without people who have both ability and political integrity.

But why are these people so conspicuous that they fail to shine in their place? Of course, I don't have any connections!

If you want to say that the imperial examination is a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops, then entering the officialdom is a dragon and a tiger, and if you are not careful, you will never recover.

Of course, those who have never met talents and have tried and failed again and again are not even qualified to talk about these.

Min Feng was born in a peasant family, his family was poor, and he had no foundation in the court. To be valued by Xia Qing and accepted as a closed disciple is really a blessing for three lives.

Li Taixing is actually very envious in his heart, if he can rely on Xia Shoufu, then his ascension is just around the corner!

He took refuge in King Jing back then, but because he failed to complete an errand for King Jing, King Jing was very dissatisfied with him.

In the end, the errand was not only not completed, but also made King Jing lose a lot of face.

Since then, King Jing has been perfunctory to him and unwilling to plan for him anymore.

Besides, now that King Jing has gone to the fiefdom Fengqing Mansion, it will be even more severe.

He hadn't exchanged letters with officials in King Jing's lineage for two years, and the other party didn't seem to remember him as a person.

But next year will be another three years, and he wants to move his ass and doesn't want to stay in this Yingnan Mansion anymore. It would be great if you could go to the capital.

Hu Maoshen, who participated in the examination together, was still the same year as him!

But the family is now the official position of the second product, and he is still spinning around the fourth product, how can Li Taixing be willing?

He thinks he has no shortage of ability, but he just lacks opportunities!

Later, he didn't want to be friends with Hu Maoshen and let the other party pave the way for him. But when he saw Hu Maoshen, he couldn't open his mouth.

Now that there is a Min Feng, isn't this a good time for him to tie up with Xia Shoufu? As long as Min Feng is encircled, are you afraid that the other party will not give him a few kind words in front of Xia Shoufu?

Speaking of the same year, the smile on Min Feng's face couldn't help but stiffen. Same? There are many of his years, including Gu Chengyu.

It is indeed a beautiful talk that he has been promoted to two levels in less than three years, but compared to Gu Chengyu, who is now a fourth grade, what is it?

Thinking of this, Min Feng's heart felt a little uncomfortable. A smile appeared on his face again, but he was already extremely dissatisfied with this Li Taixing, who didn't know how to look at him.

Li Taixing, who was sitting at the top, looked at the embarrassment that flashed on Min Feng's face, and couldn't help but secretly disdain in his heart.

Knowing that the other party thought of Gu Chengyu, who was in the middle of the court, he couldn't help but feel that the other party was too jealous. But that's exactly what he's here to do.

"What Master Li said is true, Min Shiyu is already a six-grade official at such a young age, and he will definitely be able to rise to prominence in the future."

With Min Feng staying to inspect the river embankment together, there were two Lang Zhong from the Ministry of Industry, and it was Lang Zhong Rui Shiliang who spoke just now.

As soon as he opened his mouth, other officials also echoed him, saying that Min Feng was young and promising, and he would definitely be able to shine in the court in the future.

Min Feng was suddenly recognized by so many officials, and his heart was naturally a little fluttering.

"Your Excellency is really too famous, Lord Gu Shaoqing, who is now famous in the court, is a celebrity around the emperor. He has been promoted five levels in three years, and he should be a model for my generation! The lower officials are far worse than him! ”

Although Min Feng looked down on Gu Chengyu very much, he had to admire the other party's ability to say something that was not against his heart.

It's not that he doesn't know that his promotion depends on the teacher, if there is no teacher's up and down, he is still staying from the position of the sixth grade!

What does Gu Chengyu have? In addition to the Holy Family, can the connections in the court be comparable to him?

Even though Gu Chengyu has three senior brothers, there is only one of them who is more brilliant, and that senior brother Yin Kun.

But Yin Kun can become a positive third product, or his teacher's foil back then, and his own ability is actually a little lacking.

Later, Liang Zhirui Zhishi, after so many years, it was difficult for Yin Kun to be promoted to the next level.

As for the second senior brother, don't think about it, he is still just a fourth grade! Still counting on him to pull Gu Chengyu?

The last third senior brother, He Jisheng, heard some news, as if his relationship with Gu Chengyu was not harmonious.

has no foundation in the court, and can be promoted to a fourth-grade official position within three years, isn't it just because of the emperor's attention?
