But in this paragraph, this Son of Heaven not only said that he made a mistake, but also admitted his mistake, which is a really terrible thing.

This made the old Shoufu, who was originally just going to ask about Lichu, began to wonder why this emperor, who couldn't make mistakes and couldn't admit mistakes, was so familiar with himself today, that he was waiting for himself to jump in?

Teng Wuji, who couldn't wait to think about everything he had done over the years, bent his waist a little more, and said in fear: "It's the saint who cares about his children as a parent, and others can't understand it, and the child can't understand it. ”

The words are upright, without a trace of flaws, Emperor Wen Sheng smiled and said: "It can only be said that the second Nizi and Jiang'er have no relationship, and I don't care about this idle matter." If you really want to talk about it, the only son of the backer king's family, Ye Hongtu, refused to accept the throne as early as when the first emperor was on the throne, I think it was really unintentional to replace this hereditary position, according to the etiquette system, is it necessary to canonize the children below? ”

The second monk couldn't figure out how the old shoufu couldn't think of how he mentioned the canonization of the title again, and said cautiously: "According to the etiquette system, the eldest son inherits and receives the title, and if the eldest son does not accept it, he must wait for the eldest son to pass away before he can canonize the descendants of later generations." ”

"It is worthy of being a regular attendant of the emperor's scattered horses, erudite and talented." I don't know if it's a heartfelt compliment, Emperor Wen Sheng smiled heartily, "I have learned etiquette since I was a child, and these rules are not as clear as Teng Shoufu's memory." With you by my side, I feel very relieved. ”

Teng Wujian was sincerely afraid that he was going to bow down again, and Emperor Wen Sheng shook his hand and said: "Hey, hey, come again, what I just said, Teng Qing forgot again?" ”

Busy saying "don't dare", Teng Wujian swallowed his saliva uncomfortably, and began to complain about how he entered this manna hall today, and it is not fake at all to accompany the king like a companion tiger, especially this tiger does not nap and is always sober.

Emperor Wensheng personally poured tea again, so that in fact, because of himself, the emperor who had become a great treasure, he had the opportunity to be named the first assistant by the emperor, and said: "There are more than 20 days before the Spring Festival, Teng Qing can arrange it properly?" ”

Teng Wujian sorted out some of the twists and turns that had been presented to him in the past few days on matters related to the Spring Festival, and said: "There are many more students this year than in previous years, and there are currently 372 people, and the officials who chose are Master Wei Xinzi, the priest of the country, Master Yuan Youling, Master Yuan, Master Meng, Xianyuan Xingtan, Meng Shibi, and Master Wang Zhiwang, the servant of the Ministry of Officials. The chief examiner is the Shoshu of the Ministry of Rites..."

"Alright, alright." Hearing that this old Shoufu had a detailed meaning, Emperor Wen Sheng hurriedly interrupted, "Tomorrow I will present an excerpt." ”

Teng Wujian said yes.

Emperor Wen Sheng said again: "Teng Xiao, the youngest son of Teng Qing's family, how many years has he been in the position of a member of the household department?" ”

I didn't understand why he asked this, Teng Wujian said: "Four years." ”

At this time, Emperor Li Wensheng suddenly made a sudden look, and discussed with the old Shoufu: "Do you want to let Teng Xiao give it a try this time?" ”

Teng Wuji, who was still thinking about the thoughts of this Heavenly Prince, was stunned when he heard this, and there were a few jumps in his heart that even he could hear.

It's like the spring season, it is the only way for many poor scholars to gain fame and change their future, just like a military general guarding the frontier and killing the enemy's head in exchange for military merits to climb up, but now in such a peaceful and prosperous world, military attachés don't get much chance, just like civil officials, political and harmonious, everything is according to the path paved by the predecessors step by step, otherwise how can this Shoufu Lord stay in the position of a free rider for more than ten years, and there is no place that can make people speak?

And Chunqiu is one of the few ways that civil officials can accumulate performance.

The annual spring festival sends a small number of talents to the court, and the examiner and examiner will be served by the senior members of the court.

As for the twelve inspectors below, they are served by those five or six petty officials.

This is the doorway to promotion.

The officialdom is deep, pays attention to four words, and is a protégé.

It's like the so-called friends in the rivers and lakes have more and easier roads, and the same is true in officialdom. Only the greater the power, the most stable foundation, can naturally make those powerful dignitaries add up.

Every year in the spring, those who want to jump into the dragon gate from all over the world are from all over the world, and they have a thin family background, and now they will not let go of this opportunity to have direct contact with the officials of the DPRK and China.

It is true that the officials of the first and second grades don't think about it, these feudal officials have very high eyes, not to mention these people who go to Beijing every year to take the exam, even if they have a lower official rank, they don't let go of it.

And most of these people who are trying to turn over and have no way out are still those four- and five-grade officials who are not taken into account by the eunuchs.

The fourth- and fifth-grade officials are slowly accumulating protégés and developing their own power and strength, not in the same way as trying to gain the favor of their top bosses.

This is like a big fish eating small fish and a small fish eating dried shrimp, layer by layer, interlocking.

Naturally, with such a good thing in mind, which of those officials with five or six grades didn't squeeze their heads to grab it, but how could it be so simple? In the end, isn't it still the emperor's Zhu Pen?

The so-called robe recommendation is just a formality.

Obviously, the potential meaning of Emperor Wen Sheng's words is naturally to promote the son of this old shoufu, if you can't hear the inner meaning, then it will really be in vain.

Teng Wujian knelt down solidly, "Thank you for the grace of the promotion." ”

This time the kneeling can be described as full of sincerity, without delay, if his son becomes an examiner, doesn't it mean that the connections behind him will be expanded by another point, this time it is an examiner, who dares to be sure that he will become the chief examiner in a few years? At that time, his son will be on the rise, and it will be a few years less, no, a few decades of detours.

It can be said that Lord Shousuke, who is a five-body thrower, shouted long live, and he didn't want to arrange the people under his hands to this position, but he was afraid that others would say behind his back, you must know that with their status, in this Vanity Fair, reputation is the most important, and the ghost knows if there will be any handle in the hands of those good deeds, and then I wish someone would remove him from this position.

Teng Wuji, who has been an official all his life, may not be very honest and honest, but he can also be regarded as clean and self-conscious, and he has been good with people for decades, yes, he is walking on thin ice, but he doesn't want to be left behind because of such a trivial matter.

Naturally, he also knew the potential impact of his words on the important minister in front of him, and Emperor Wen Sheng also deliberately slowed down his movements before getting up and helping the old man up, and said: "Teng Qing is doing something, Teng Xiao is an official, but it is up to you, self-denial and conscientiousness, I see it in my eyes, this is his hard work, but it is not because of your face that he has such an opportunity." ”

Teng Wujian only said yes, and said: "The minister will thank the saint for cultivating again." ”

Emperor Wen Sheng was still smiling, and suddenly the conversation changed again, still with such a casual appearance, pouring tea and making tea, "How old is Teng boy this year?" ”

The mention of family affairs made Teng Wuji's heart tense again, this chatting with the emperor about family affairs is nothing more than a possibility, and there is something in the words.

There are many courtiers in the court, and there are countless people who can be called close ministers, and the first person in the world can talk to him about family affairs, will it be so simple?

Shousuke-sama, who was thinking about electricity, said carefully: "There are six out of twenty this year. ”

Emperor Wen Sheng suddenly looked at the chief eunuch of the inner palace who had been standing quietly over there, and asked, "How old is the second girl of the backer king's family this year?" ”

Mian Jing didn't need to just bow his head, as if he didn't care about the conversation here, Cai Donglai opened his mouth and came, "Five out of twenty." ”

Obviously, for the question and answer between this pair of master and servant, Teng Wuji, who has lived for more than 50 years, can guess what it means even if he does not have the identity of the head assistant of the cabinet.

Sure enough, Emperor Wen Sheng smiled sideways and leaned sideways on the low table where Wenlong carved the phoenix, looked at Teng Wuji, who was a little uncomfortable after meeting his gaze, and said: "I remember that many years ago, when these two children were talking about marriage, did Teng Xiaozi go to hand over the eight characters?" ”

Teng Wujian was slightly embarrassed, at that time, this matter was also boiling in Beijing, it has to be said that more than ten years ago, when the emperor was on the throne, these two were seventeen and sixteen.

At that time, these young children in Beijing were all good to play together, especially the active night watch, which of the Beijing officials had never been there, coupled with his arrogant temperament, he was always surrounded by some official sons and sons.

When the time came, Teng Xiao was one of the many gentlemen who followed Ye San's ass.

A group of teenagers and half-grown children are naturally indispensable to cause trouble, and some illegal and disciplined bullying and dominating the market do not dare, but they are not less criticized, which house has been "looted" in the back garden, whose carriage is missing a wheel, and a bucket of stones is drawn from the well, and there is no need to find others, it must be this guy who did it.

Teng Wuji, as a free rider, serves the Son of Heaven all the year round, naturally pays attention to reputation, and after a long time, he can't bear it, so he goes to Panshan to count the three nights.

Naturally, it was the hostess who was in charge of all matters in the backer king's mansion at that time, the mother of the third watch of the night, Jiang Shan.

Beside him, Miss Yeer, who was famous in Beijing and all over the world at that time, was all over the world.

Naturally, it was a happy ending, and Teng Xiao, a boy from the Teng family who was at the beginning of his love, also fell in love with the second lady of the night family at first sight.

Naturally, Teng Xiao took it upon himself to go to the mountain and handed over the eight characters, which made Jiang Shan, the hostess of the prince's husband, joke for a while. And Ye Sangen was a little apprehensive, after all, he treated people as brothers, but Teng Xiao wanted to be his brother-in-law, this thing was absolutely unbearable.

It was the night that the third watch chose a suitable place and the right time, and directly put the person in the sack and beat the stick, and that beating caused the current Lord Shoufu to scold at the gate of the backer king's mansion for a day.

Naturally, no one in the Ye family, who knew that he was wrong, dared to come forward, and Teng Wuji, who was tired, returned home, and the matter was finally over.

Knowing that his words caused Teng Wuji's thoughts to wander, Emperor Wen Sheng said: "Remember that Teng Xiao is not married, let's see if there is any intention, I will come forward to match?" ”

This sentence can scare Teng Wujian a lot, when even if he knelt on the ground, he didn't dare to say anything, this time he really didn't dare, naturally he knew the true meaning of these words, Lord Shoufu said in fear: "Don't dare to bother with the saint, the minister has already offended the king of the backer because of the dog, this family business is definitely not daring to have it anymore, how dare not go to Gao Pan again, implore the emperor..."

"What is this doing, what is this doing?"

Emperor Wen Sheng helped Teng Wujian up with a smile again, "If you don't mean this, you don't mean this, what are you doing?" ”

Having already received a satisfactory answer in his heart, Emperor Wen Sheng glanced at Cai Donglai, who had never looked at this place but was definitely paying attention to the diners, and the latter said in a timely manner: "Your Majesty, it's time for lunch, do you want to inform the imperial dining room to add a pair of chopsticks?" ”

Teng Wu, who understood that he had ordered the expulsion of guests, and would never stay here to accompany the Son of Heaven to dine, hurriedly refused this must be a great thing for others, and said: "The minister still has something to deal with, please leave." ”

No one knew if he really wanted to leave this important minister to accompany him to eat, Emperor Wensheng said: "Leave after eating?" ”

Teng Wujian still refused.

Emperor Wensheng no longer retained, and allowed Lord Shoufu to leave.

Outside the Manna Palace, Teng Wuji, who only knew the true intention of the short "words in his heart" of this Heavenly Prince's parents at the end, shuddered, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.
