As soon as he returned home, Fang Xiaoru called Chen Kan to the study.

The master and apprentice sat opposite each other, and Fang Xiaoru asked, "Yuansheng, you didn't accept the official position granted by His Majesty, did you?" ”

"Nope."

Chen Kan shook his head and responded.

Fang Xiaoru looked relieved and said, "It's okay if you don't have it, what official position did Your Majesty promise you?" ”

"His Majesty only asked the student if he was willing to be an official, and after the student refused, he didn't say that he planned to reward the student for what official he did, but he intimidated the student."

"No?"

"Nope!"

As soon as Chen Kan said this, Fang Xiaoru's face suddenly became solemn.

Chen Kan hurriedly asked, "Teacher, what's wrong?" ”

Fang Xiaoru shook his head and asked with some solemnity: "Yuansheng, do you know why the teacher doesn't want you to accept the official position granted by His Majesty?" ”

Chen Kan figured this out when he was arguing with Zhu Di in the palace, and immediately responded: "The teacher wants students to take the right path of the imperial examination, right?" ”

"Not bad."

Fang Xiaoru said: When my grandfather founded the country, there was an unwritten rule that those who have not passed the imperial examination cannot be an official of the official hall.

And if you accept the official position granted by His Majesty, you will block your own future.

Since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for the fortunate minister to be the pillar of the country. As a teacher, I don't want you to bear the name of Xingjin, so I have to explain this. ”

Chen Kan nodded, what Fang Xiaoru said was not far from what he guessed.

In fact, Chen Kan also planned to do so.

After escaping death in prison, Chen Kan figured it out.

In this era of supremacy of imperial power, if you want to live well, then being an official is the only way out.

Only with control and power in your hands can you live like a fish in water in this era.

As for business, farming, and the like, Chen Kan has not thought about it.

But again, there is no power in your hands, and the more you do, the closer you are to death.

Chen Kan didn't want to be slaughtered as a fat pig by others in the end.

Then again, since you decided to go down the political path.

Naturally, it is better to be an official after the imperial examination.

Especially since the Tang and Song dynasties, the imperial examination system has been gradually improved.

Turning the pages of history, the people who are active in the court are all dragons and phoenixes among the people who have been screened out by the imperial examination.

There are few people who live in temples without the imperial examination.

Even the imperial examination has its limitations, and it is easy to keep a large number of other types of talent out of officialdom.

But until the 21st century, when Chen Kan came, the imperial examination was still the fairest way for the country and the nation to ascend.

As a student of Fang Xiaoru, he didn't dare to say how good his knowledge was, but at least he was not bad.

And Chen Kan inherited most of the memories of the original owner, and Fang Xiaoru, the leader of the world's corporal forest, was the teacher.

It can be said that it is already invincible by nature.

As long as you participate in the imperial examination, it doesn't matter if your ranking is good or bad, but you will definitely be able to get in.

With such good congenital conditions, it is the most correct choice not to accept Zhu Di's award.

"According to the teacher's speculation, His Majesty has summoned you to the palace this time.

Even if it is for the sake of being a teacher, you should be given an official position.

But instead of granting you any position, Your Majesty has beaten you, and I am afraid that Your Majesty..."

Fang Xiaoru's words made Chen Kan's heart instantly rise to his throat.

I knew it.

I knew it wasn't that simple.

Ju-dy of dog day!

Chen Kan asked a little apprehensively, "Teacher, I'm afraid what?" ”

Fang Xiaoru stroked his beard and said slowly: "I'm afraid Your Majesty has another deep meaning!" ”

“？”

It's really, listening to your words is like listening to your words.

Chen Kan rolled his eyes and said, "Teacher, the student also knows that His Majesty has a deep meaning. ”

"Hmmm......"

"It's hard to say, no one can guess His Majesty's temperament, it's hard to say."

Looking at Fang Xiaoru's hand stroking the three strands of long beard under his chin, he fell into deep thought.

Chen Kan was a little anxious.

What the hell does Judy mean, you say?

Can't you breathe if you don't talk much?

"The Holy Decree Arrives~"

Suddenly, there was a shrill shout outside the gate.

Fang Xiaoru woke up from his thoughts, looked at Chen Kan and said in surprise: "Thinking for the teacher, this should be Your Majesty's deep meaning." ”

Chen Kan: "? ”

First hand yourself into the palace to intimidate, and then give yourself a will, what kind of meaning is this?

Fang Xiaoru said: "Let's take the order first." ”

Chen Kan nodded and stood up, and followed Fang Xiaoru to the outside of the courtyard in a daze.

The door was opened to welcome the eunuchs who came to deliver the decree into the house, and the incense case was placed in the center of the small courtyard.

After the master and apprentice had finished doing this, the eunuch shouted: "Your Majesty will give the order, and the common man Chen Kan will accept the order." ”

Verbal?

Doesn't it say the Holy Decree?

Although it was a verbal message, Chen Kan did not dare to slack off, and bowed three times and nine times in the direction of the Forbidden City.

Kneeling in front of the eunuch, he said in a deep voice: "Grass people Chen Kan took the order. ”

"The middle-aged man Chen Kan has meritorious service to the country, and he is specially enshrined as the school inspector and guard. If you take office the next day, there must be no mistakes. ”

When the eunuch finished reading, he shook off the dust and turned away.

Chen Kan knelt on the ground with a confused expression.

That's it?

What about the emperor's edict that said that it was good, and what about the obscurity of the four and six that it was good?

I'm ready to listen to you at length.

Forget about the merit of the country, at least what merit has to be made clear.

Also, the school inspector guards and the town, does Daming have this official position?

The next day, where to take office?

And after Fang Xiaoru listened to the will, his face was full of complexity.

At first, he was surprised, and then he showed a picture that was exactly what it was.

Chen Kan withdrew the incense case and asked in confusion: "Teacher, Your Majesty has given the student an official title, do you want to resist the decree?" ”

Fang Xiaoru said disdainfully: "Resist the decree, do you dare?" ”

Fang Xiaoru's disdainful eyes deeply pierced Chen Kan's nerves.

What words, what words this is?

Chen Kan met Fang Xiaoru's eyes, and said with a look of righteous indignation: "Don't dare!" ”

"Bah ......"

Fang Xiaoru had such an expression, and said lightly: "There is no need to resist the decree, this official position will not affect your career in the future." ”

It turns out that it won't affect the future, so it's okay.

"School inspector and guard Zhenfu, does Daming have this official position, what is he doing, how many officials are he doing, where are he going to take office?"

Chen Kan asked four questions in a row, his innocent eyes full of desire to learn.

Since it does not affect the future, Chen Kan will not panic.

On the contrary, I faintly looked forward to my upcoming life as a corrupt and depraved official.

Fang Xiaoru turned around and walked towards the study, and said: "Wei Zhenfu, it is an official position established by Grandpa Tai during his reign, from the fourth grade, but if you add the word proofreading in front of your official position, it is no grade." ”

"No grade?"

"How?"

Chen Kan followed behind Fang Xiaoru like a puppy, and his big eyes were big question marks.

There are still ungraded officials in this world, who will believe them?

Fang Xiaoru said: "The word "proofreading" means that an honorary official position or a temporary official position is often an official position that will only be established when a certain official deals with a certain matter.

When things are done, the official position will naturally cease to exist, and since it no longer exists, it will naturally not affect your career. ”
