In fact, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, a person can be admitted to the Jinshi if he becomes an official and becomes an official, but there are very few people who do so.

Generally speaking, if a person fails to pass the test three times, he can go to the Ministry of Officials to register, and then wait for the big pick once every six years. However, there are many people and few official positions, so there are few opportunities, and when you get the opportunity, you also have to go to remote and poor places.

Scholars are enlightened to read, become lifters, fail to succeed in repeated attempts, and the age will be forty years old, if you wait for another six years to challenge, you have entered the end of your life. When he became an official and wanted to take the Jinshi exam again, he needed to report to the official for approval first, then return to his hometown to open the complaint, and then go to Beijing to take the exam.

Not to mention whether Shangguan approved it or not, just this process, a year has passed, and there is only a 5% chance of becoming a jinshi.

Chen Zizhuang is naturally clear about these rules and traditions in officialdom, so he feels that his son has been deceived.

Even if he passes the surprise study, he is qualified in the examination this year, where is the official for him? At such an age, if you really win the lift, how can you become an official, and you don't prepare for the exam well and prepare for the exam.

Chen Huaiyu immediately said: "Father, Mr. Li arranged it this way.

If the child is promoted this year, he will go to the stove picked by the ministry and let the child go to Jeju to be the governor. You can also take next year's entrance examination, and you can also take the next entrance examination. As long as he passes the test, he can enter the palace to test, and he said to the emperor that he can directly order the child as the champion. ”

"Big pick, where is the big pick this year?" Chen Zizhuang asked.

"The emperor said yes, then naturally there is." Chen Huaiyu said.

Chen Huairen saw that his brother's speech was becoming more and more out of tune, and he opened his mouth and closed his mouth to say that the emperor was a servant of the family and could be sent at will. Seeing that his father was already angry, he immediately said: "Fourth brother, it must be Li Zhaoji who lied to you, how did he know that the emperor would let the officials make a big challenge, and how could he let the emperor point you as the champion." ”

Chen Huaiyu immediately pushed his brother away and said, "Of course the emperor agreed."

You don't believe it, Mr. Li has a life-saving grace to the current emperor, and the emperor knows how to repay him, and treats Mr. Li like a brother and confidant.

Didn't my father and eldest brother wonder why I fought with Yan Pingbo, but it didn't trigger Yan Pingbo's revenge, that was the ....... that the emperor sent Lu Gonggong to mediate. ”

"You're not crazy!" Chen Zizhuang felt that it was really outrageous, and scolded.

Chen Huaiyu was not afraid, took out a note from his sleeve, handed it to Chen Zizhuang, and said, "Father, look, is this the emperor's handwritten imperial letter." ”

Chen Zizhuang took it and looked at it, his eyes widened directly, he was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, so he naturally knew the emperor's own handwriting, but he never thought that the emperor's imperial book would be in the hands of his son, and he couldn't believe the above words.

This was written by Hongguang to Li Zhaoji, asking Li Zhaoji to persuade Chen Huaiyu to go back to Nanjing to apologize to Yanpingbo's mansion, and the emperor had already told Yanpingbo that he was not as knowledgeable as Chen Huaiyu.

"Father, this is really ......." Chen Huairen asked.

"It is indeed the royal pen of the Son of Heaven." Chen Zizhuang's hands trembled and he sat on the ground.

Yuan was also surprised: "It's true, I thought that Li Zhaoji was talking big." ”

Yuan's purpose is very simple, she doesn't know what national affairs, she knows that her son went to Songjiang, and after being persuaded by Li Zhaoji to come back, he studied hard, studied hard day and night, and wanted to take the exam, as long as he passed the exam, he could go to Jeju to be the governor.

As for why he was able to become a governor, it was because Jeju was controlled by Lee Zhao-gi's Oriental Trading Company.

This was Li Zhaoji's arrangement, Jeju was extremely important for the trade between the Ming and Japan, and it was necessary to control it in his own hands and become the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The solution is to give it to Daming in name, and then it will be possible to arrange a trustworthy Zhiju to Jeju.

Chen Huaiyu said proudly: "What you see is just a note, and the child saw a pile of letters written to him by the emperor himself in Li Zhaoji's study.

He has always had correspondence with the emperor. When the emperor summoned Liu Rushi and other sinners into the palace, he sent all those beauties to Li Zhaoji.

Because of Zheng Sen, Liu Ru is back, but Gong Dingyu's concubine, Gu Mei, who was almost summoned by the emperor, has now been accepted by Li Zhaoji.

Father should also know that Chen Shangchuan, the new prefect of Songjiang, got his reputation as a jinshi. ”

Chen Huairen and Yuan Shi both looked at Chen Zizhuang, Chen Zizhuang sighed and did not speak. Chen Huaiyu immediately explained: "Chen Shangchuan is our Guangdong lifter, and he has been the emperor's attendant when he was in Liaodong, and the emperor decided to hold a separate Enke examination at the beginning of this year in order to reward him.

Chen Shangchuan is a scholar and has knowledge, but his learning of art is not outstanding, and his writing is not very good, but he still won the ninth place in the second class.

If it weren't for Lord Shen, the first assistant, who blindly pressed it, the emperor would have ordered him to be the champion.

There are some things, even Lord Shen doesn't know, I saw the emperor write to Li Zhaoji himself, saying that he promised to give Chen Shangchuan the champion, but he never did it, and he owes Li Zhaoji a champion. ”

The Chen family's family finally understood why their son, who had always been indulgent and domineering, suddenly became angry and tried to be strong, it turned out that Li Zhaoji had arranged the road for him, but he didn't go casually.

With the support of Li Zhaoji, Chen Huaiyu is thousands of times more likely to become the champion than others, but Chen Huaiyu still needs to have real talent and real learning. In the past, Chen Huaiyu didn't like to read, because reading might not be able to gain fame, but now that all the fame and fame positions are ready, just waiting for Chen Huaiyu to get it, how can he not care.

Chen Huaiyu saw that his family was stunned, and he didn't speak, he said with a straight face: "Father, mother, if there is nothing else, the child will go back to the yard to study."

There are only 20 days left before the entrance exam, and the child must work harder, otherwise he will miss the opportunity.

Although Mr. Lee is not thin on the child, but the opportunity is just like this, if the child can't go to school, the previous work will be wasted, if the child can't be promoted this year, Jeju Zhiju will become someone else's. Perhaps, the champion will become someone else's.

One step is missed, one step is missed, and the child does not dare to delay at all. ”

Yuan nodded: "Huaiyu, you just go, I have arranged someone at the door opposite your courtyard, if you need anything, you will send a letter immediately." ”

Yuan's youngest son is extremely satisfied with his younger son's academic progress, even if he can't even pass the exam, even the way he reads is much better than the previous prodigal appearance.

"Stop! You can study, but you can't go to Kodansha. Chen Zizhuang said suddenly, making Chen Huaiyu stop.

Chen Huaiyu said: "Why, Kodansha is full of like-minded talents, and there are famous teachers to teach and strictly discipline. Father, it's not that you don't know the child's temperament, and it is difficult for him to be self-sustaining for a long time, and it is even more difficult to be cautious and independent. If there is no one else to manage, there is no competition from classmates, where can the child last until autumn? ”

"That Kodansha is related to Li Zhaoji, Li Zhaoji, a big thief, a big thief! Sooner or later, I am the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, how can you enter the school he runs! Chen Zizhuang said in a deep voice.

When Chen Huaiyu heard this, he was dumbfounded for a moment and looked at his mother.

When Li Zhaoji asked him to come back, he told him that if he wanted to convince his father, there was only one person and one thing, and one thing was Zhu Yousong's handwritten note, and the other person was his mother Yuan.

"Chen Jisheng!"

Before Chen Huaiyu opened his mouth to plead, the Yuan family was furious, and directly called out Chen Zizhuang's name, which has not been seen for decades.

At the beginning, it was you who said that Huaiyu was not motivated and did not study, but now Huaiyu is studying and is going to take the imperial examination, and you are blocking and saying no, is it difficult to achieve Huaiyu to be a prodigal son and lose the people of our Chen family, are you happy?

Yesterday I burned incense to my ancestors, and you said that Huaiyu was motivated by reading, and it was the manifestation of the ancestors, and now you don't let Huaiyu go up, is it possible that you don't even pay attention to your own ancestors? ”

"Oh, ma'am, that's what it means to be a husband. Huaiyu is motivated, happy for her husband, but she is not allowed to go to Kodansha, and she studies at home, so I invite him the best teacher in Jiangnan, Mr. Wenshui, how about it?

That Li Zhaoji is not a good person, and it was he who caused Huaiyu to be detained by the Japanese slaves, ....... Chen Zizhuang repeatedly asked for mercy and motioned to his wife to be quieter.

"Nonsense! If he harmed Huaiyu, Huaiyu could still associate with him, obviously it was the Zheng family's minions Shi Lang and Zheng Tai who harmed him. At the beginning, Huaiyu wanted to do business, and people helped to take it to Japan to see the world. Ah, now that I have to study for the imperial examination, I have prepared the position of Zhizhou, free admission, and I will give us the grace I asked for from the emperor Huaiyu.

This is the great benefactor of our Chen family, tell me about you, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, can you seek some benefits for the Chen family? Not only did you bring up your own family, but when you saw that your son had a future, you were still destroying it here, what are your intentions! "Yuan's family is from a scholarly family, and when he speaks, he is the head of the way, and Chen Zizhuang, who was scolded, was speechless for a while.

Chen Zizhuang saw that he couldn't say anything, and immediately said: "I am the head of the family, if I say no, I just can't!" Have you forgotten all the patriarchal rules!

Again, Li Zhaoji is a thief, a thief, and a rebel, and he can't associate with him! ”

Chen Zizhuang took out the patriarchal rules, and the two sons of the Chen family all bowed their heads, but the Yuan family was not afraid at all, and shouted: "I see you as a thief, a thief, and a rebel!"

The emperor also knew about Kodansha, and the Holy Son of Heaven promised Kodansha all the champions.

The emperor also knew about his son's relationship with Li Zhaoji, and the emperor not only did not object, but also asked Li Zhaoji to urge and help Huaiyu!

The people and things that the emperor approves of will not work with you.

Let me ask you, whose Ming is this Ming, could it be that it is not the emperor's, but you and Shen Youlong! I think you are forming a party, a chaotic government, trying to bully the king, and stealing the country! ”

"You!" Chen Zizhuang opened his hand and was about to fight, but the Yuan family was not afraid, greeted him, and said: "Come, Chen Jisheng, you come to fight, you beat me today, I will tell Tianfu tomorrow, I want the people of the whole city to know what happened today....... Huaiyu goes to talk about the affairs of the society, you agree, if you don't agree, today's matter will not be over!" ”

When Chen Zizhuang heard this, he smashed his fist in his palm, and his voice came out from between his teeth: "Li Zhaoji, you are so ruthless!" Let me abolish my public because of my own selfishness, let me be at a loss! ”

"Chen Jisheng, let me ask you, do you agree or disagree." Yuan Shi stood in front of him and asked.

"Alas, you're right, Daming is the Ming of the Zhu family, and the emperor is like that, so why should I." Chen Zizhuang sighed.

Yuan's nodded slightly, seeing that Chen Zizhuang did not object, she said: "Don't think this is a bad thing, my son has been promoted, even if he becomes the champion, he is also the champion of our Daming, and his heart is also towards the ....... of Daming." ”

Chen Zizhuang didn't want to listen to the words of relief, and left angrily.

"Huaiyu, your father has no objection, you can study with peace of mind, you should go to Songjiang and go to Songjiang." Yuan was overjoyed, took his youngest son's hand and said.

Chen Huairen coughed lightly and said, "Fourth brother, you don't have a reputation on you, how can you participate in the township test?" ”

Chen Huaiyu said: "This is not difficult, Mr. Li donated money to me Guozijian, I can not only participate, but also do not have to go back to Guangdong, just participate in the township test in Jiangnan." ”

"Huaiyu, you study hard, don't worry about the side things, just tell your mother, go to talk about what you need to prepare, and your mother will take care of it for you." Yuan said again.

"Mother, the Kodansha is like a barracks, you don't need anything."

Yuan's face changed slightly: "You kid, how stupid, Mr. Li arranged such a broad road for you, and you didn't bring anything to others, aren't you grateful."

Huairen, just now when your father was angry, he said that he wanted to invite Mr. Wenshui, does that gentleman really have real talent and real learning? ”

"That's Jiangzuo's famous master, Taishan Beidou in Shiwen." Chen Huairen said.

Yuan nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then when your father is angry, I will tell him that he will invite Mr. Wenshui to be a teacher at Kodansha, which can be regarded as a gift to Mr. Li." ”
