You can't become a sharp blade in the hands of the emperor, slashing your colleagues wantonly, and you can't harm everyone's interests.

………

Since ancient times, even if a lonely minister is not greedy, it rarely ends well, not to mention that you are still a big corrupt official.

After moving most people's cakes, do you still want to live?

This is Heshen's second way to death.

The last one is the wealth accumulated by He Shen's corruption and bribery and business, which is comparable to the wealth of the country.

Since ancient times, even emperors can't eat alone, let alone you're just a minister.

People, the more well-off they are, the richer they are, and the more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the more they are remembered.

These three are enough to make everyone have murderous intent towards Heshen.

When more than ninety percent of the people in this world want to kill you, how can you not die?

…………

Therefore, the current Heshen does not plan to follow the path of the original Heshen, he wants to make his own way.

…………

Fortunately, the current He Shen has not yet stepped into officialdom and has the opportunity to change himself.

Now He Shen is ready to study hard, first get a meritorious name, and then use the connections of the Niu Hulu family to join the Wenchen Group of the Xungui lineage of grace.

And the reason why He Shen is so tossed is entirely because he wants to get a better out of the officialdom.

“………………”

The officialdom of the feudal dynasty has always been based on the origin of the camp.

He Shen's background is a noble lineage, a family of military generals, and he is a natural official of the noble line.

Although this kind of background can bring him great congenital benefits, it also means that he is only suitable for taking the path of the noble line.

Whether he is a civil official or a military general, as long as he steps into the officialdom, everyone will default to him as an official of the noble department.

“……”

If it is said that He Shen, who was born in Xungui, wants to change his identity and not join the officials of Xungui's department, then it is okay.

But the consequences are quite serious, and basically you can't get out for a lifetime.

Originally, the officials of the same family as you, the honorable family, will feel that you look down on them and feel that you have betrayed them.

In the officialdom, the officials of the noble family will do everything possible to deal with the betrayer.

Even if you miss the old love and don't trample the betrayer to death, it will make you lose your job and dismiss you.

And the other side.

No matter how much you prove that you have passed the imperial examination and sat in this position one by one, those officials of the Qingliu First Department, that is, the officials of the first department of Jiangnan Shixiangmen, will still not accept you.

Because, this is the unspoken rule of officialdom.

Therefore, in officialdom, the background determines the lineup, and the ass determines the head.

The stance of the ass is more important than the shrewdness of the head.

“…………”

Straight to the point!

If you want to pass the orthodox imperial examination and get into a civil official with a high grade, it is quite difficult.

It was a long way to cross a single-plank bridge, and only one person could cross it.

An ordinary scholarly family, their children, if they want to take the road of the imperial examination, first of all, they need to pass the children's examination.

The children's test is presided over by the county, and there are generally five examinations, respectively to test eight strands of literature, trial poems, scriptures, laws, policy theories, etc., one person is selected from 100 people, and the escape rate is 99%.

After passing the children's exam, he already has the lowest level of fame, although there is no great benefit, but at least the social status is quite high.

After becoming a child, even if he cannot go further in the future and does not have the business mind, he can still teach and copying articles and books for others to make a living.

As long as you are willing to give up your children, life is still much better than that of ordinary people.

If the child wants to go further, he needs to take the college examination, and after the examination, he is a "student", and the people are commonly known as "Xiucai".

In the Qing Dynasty, as long as you were admitted to the student examination, that is, you had the reputation of showing talent, even if you were completely out of the ordinary people's class, you could have some privileges in the practical sense.

For example, to be exempted from the grain tax on Dingtian, and to go to court without having to kneel, etc., real power.

Scholars who have passed the examination and are talented, as long as they are not stupid readers, they can generally mix well in the local county government and become rich people on the rich side.

The third level of the imperial examination is even more powerful.

Township test, also known as Dabi, Qiuqiu.

Every three years, it is held in a province, and the number of scholars in a province can only be dozens of people in the end.

The total number of admissions in all provinces of the country will not exceed 1,000.

The township examination can be said to be the most important in the imperial examination, and it is also the one with the largest number of people.

After all, after passing the township test, he has the qualifications to be an official, and he can be called a big man.

The fourth level after the township test is the meeting.

It is often held from the ninth to the fifteenth day of February of the following year after the township examination, and is presided over by the Beijing Division of Rites.

Although he could not obtain any practical benefits from passing the monk examination, he had the qualifications to enter the next palace examination and had the opportunity to meet the emperor.

The palace examination, that is, the last pass of the imperial examination, is often said by the people to jump the dragon gate.

Those who pass the exam are the title of the gold list, which can be regarded as having a Jinshi background, which can be called infinite potential.

And the top three, known as the champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua, are regarded as Jinshi and No., and are considered to be among the first, and then there are second, third, anyway, they are all Jinshi origins.

These are the formal imperial examination system, and they are also the various examinations that normal students must go through if they want to become officials.

But since everything is normal, then there is abnormality.

There is a normal imperial examination, and there is a grace that skips the imperial examination and can enter the court as an official and directly obtain fame, which is called Enke.

This kind of great grace is not something that ordinary people and ordinary rich people can ask for, but it is a special examination set up by the emperor to disturb the noble family.

If you want to participate in Enke, you must obtain the status of a child of the National Prison, and if you want to become a child of the National Prison, it is not your personal efforts that are compared, but how you are born.

Because the original purpose of the Guozi Supervision was to set up for the noble lineage, as well as some favored relatives and families, those children who did not learn and did not know how to do it.

The quota of Guozijian, these wealthy families still have to compete with each other, and they can only grab it by breaking their heads, how can they be distributed to ordinary people.

And it just so happens that the Niu Hulu family, which is one of the eight major families, has this privilege.

Of course, this kind of privilege will not fall on a child like He Shen who has no father or mother.

So even if He Shen wants to take a shortcut, he doesn't have that qualification.

Here, Heshen, who handled everything almost the same, went to Hefu in the capital again.

A martial arts training ground.

Four years later, a young man with a body that had grown open, was holding an iron sword that had not been sharpened, standing in the middle, surrounded by ten tall and strong soldiers.

These sturdy nurses were all dressed in armor, armed with spears and knives, and of course, the weapons in their hands were not sharpened.

Four years have passed.

In the past four years, He Shen has studied hard, plus the following dots, and he has already had a reputation for showing talent.

Of course, although most of his thoughts were spent on reading, he did not throw away other aspects, especially martial arts.

In the current world, although it is forbidden for people to practice mana, it is not forbidden to cultivate the true qi of the inner family.

Now, at the age of fifteen, he is more than 1.85 meters tall, and his martial arts have reached the realm of a super-first-class player in the rivers and lakes, and there is no problem with one enemy and one hundred.

"It's the same old rules."

He Shen glanced around, and that gaze was several times more terrifying than that of a tiger.

"As long as you join forces to defeat me, each of you will have a hundred taels of silver!"

……

"Understood!"

"Boss, be careful."

"Hahahaha, brothers let the owner see our strength."

These nursing masters, roaring one by one, they are all second-rate and third-rate masters in the rivers and lakes, with rich combat experience, and they can all block ten with one.

And these masters in the rivers and lakes are all hired from outside by He Shen to spend a lot of money to take care of the home.

One hundred taels of silver was a lot of money in the Qing Dynasty, and it was a real hard currency.

One hundred taels of silver can buy a small house in a small city, buy a dozen acres of land in the township, and marry several wives.

In short, this one hundred taels of silver is attractive enough for these ten nursing home masters.

However, in the face of He Shen, none of them dared to be careless, because He Shen's martial arts were so high, they had already seen it with their own eyes.

Even if ten second- and third-rate masters join forces, it will be difficult to defeat He Shen, but it is still possible.

He Shen held a blunt sword that did not open and silently scanned the surroundings.

……

Ten masters of the rivers and lakes walked around He Shen, all staring at He Shen one by one, as if they were staring at a prey.

On the other hand, Heshen is not moving at all, as if he is not moving like a mountain.

"Hello!" "Hello!" "Hello!"

The ten masters of the rivers and lakes who walked around suddenly rushed forward in unison, and the spears and knives in their hands were cut out at the speed of the wind, and they had already arrived in front of He Shen in an instant.

On Heshen's side, the last shot was made first, and the blunt sword in his hand was pulled out like a god.

A black blunt sword, if it has no weight, it comes first after a silent sound, and the sword light flashes, as fast as lightning, weird and terrifying.

I saw the sword light in a line, but I couldn't see where the tip of the sword was.

These ten masters of the rivers and lakes, the knives and guns in their hands, are still an inch away from He Shen's body, but they can't stab anymore.

Because of that black blunt sword, it had already shocked ten masters of the rivers and lakes into the air.

After a circle, He Shen changed from holding a sword in his right hand to holding a sword in his left hand, because after a blow, ten good hands in the rivers and lakes changed from a circular siege to a trapezoidal two-three-two-three siege.

The two good hands in the front of the rivers and lakes held long knives with an indomitable momentum, and when the long knives were swung, they made a burst of gas explosions, faintly with the sound of breaking the sky.

Seeing this, He Shen was also not to be outdone, did not dodge or dodge, and directly advanced the sword, and struck out with a sword, and the true qi of the inner family burst out.
