Wei Ji said: "The scholars don't want to be turbid officials, just like tidying up the library, you should first be a clerical officer, Yaji is really difficult to achieve for you, you are a few years away, and it is difficult to call Zhongzheng into the eyes, it is better to be a subordinate first." If you want to be promoted to fame and fortune, you must observe your words and emotions and meet the peak. If you want to do something for the people, you must be aware of the people's hearts and be down-to-earth. If you want to rely on the knowledge of reading the sages and sages, you want to ascend to the sky in one step, do amazing articles, and show the ability to govern the world, this kind of idea is too naïve, and one day in the future you can hold the real power in the court, and it is not too late to display your ambitions. ”

Qi Gongming was a little stunned when he heard the whole person, in the past, he only felt that he had no talent, and he was burdened by his background and appearance, but Wei Ji directly told him that what he lacked congenitally could not be made up, and he didn't think of a normal way to go to Yaji to order products, it was better to start from the most slightest turbidity.

Qi Gongming's five tastes were mixed, "But this ...... So unfair. A scholar can be a high-grade scholar just by virtue of his birth, and a scholar from a humble family like me is a sage who studies hard, but he can only be a turbid official......"

Wei Ji said: "It's really unfair, so what?"

Qi Gongming raised his head suddenly.

Wei Ji said: "That's how the Nine Rank Official Law is, the injustice that you shout 10,000 times in your heart can't change anything. If you only feel sorry for yourself, you are no different from the children of the scholar clan who do not understand practice."

Qi Gongming fell silent.

At this time, a voice came from outside the window, "So, what kind of ambition does Wei Xiaolangjun have?"

As soon as Wei Ji heard this voice, her scalp went numb. The memory of being pinched by the neck and dragged away on the mountain that day was too profound, and the last time there were many people at the banquet, she never looked up to see Sima Pi on the main seat. Unexpectedly, I heard his voice outside the building at this moment.

Qi Gongming saw that Wei Ji's face changed suddenly, and immediately became nervous, "Wei Xiaolangjun" He was just about to ask who it was, but he saw Wei Ji slip up and salute respectfully at the door.

"Your Highness, Wan An."

The author has something to say:

Chapter 76: Temptation

Sima Pi came in from outside the door, tall, with a silver robe and a long crown, with a light on his back, and his face could not be seen clearly.

Qi Gongming heard Wei Ji's name and knew who the person in front of him was, so he hurriedly followed the salute, and his movements were a little cramped because he was in a hurry.

Sima Pi first glanced at the silk books stacked on the ground when he entered the door, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he seemed to smile and said: "Qing is the top, turbidity is the bottom, now everyone is vying to be a clean official, Wei Xiaolangjun is a different way, and persuades people to be turbidity." ”

The high-grade Qing noble official positions, known as Qing officials in the world, are all held by the children of the scholar clan, and the low-grade official positions of hard work and hard work are naturally filled by those scholars who are not from the scholar family, so they are called turbid officials. And what Wei Ji just said was to ask Qi Gongming to start from the lowest official, strictly speaking, he is not even an official.

Qi Gongming couldn't hear Sima Pi's tone, thinking that he was blaming Wei Ji, and immediately said: "Your Highness has misunderstood, what Wei Xiaolangjun said to me is all sincere admonition......

Sima Pi's gaze swept over him, and Qi Gongming closed his mouth.

Wei Ji couldn't figure out what Sima Pi meant, and when she heard him ask, she had to say: "I thought that the difference between turbidity and turbidity was a restriction of origin, and Brother Gongming Yu Yaji had a disadvantage. ”

Sima Pi turned his head and asked Qi Gongming, "What do you think?"

Qi Gongming sweated a little, he had already thought about it just now, and said, "I think...... What Wei Xiaolangjun said is. ”

Sima Pi laughed and said, "In this way, I will give you a chance, and when this place is all sorted out, you can come to the palace to make a paperwork." ”

Qi Gongming was stunned, his eyes were a little straight, and his brain was dazed, until he saw Wei Ji blinking and signaling, he reacted, and the ecstasy in his heart welled up, and he immediately thanked him.

Wei Ji sighed in her heart, she didn't expect Qi Gongming's luck to be here, now it's nothing to be a palace clerk, and it will be very different if King Langya becomes the emperor two years later.

Sima Pi slowly walked to the bookcase, beckoned the two of them to sit down after sitting down, and said with a smile: "Wei Xiaolangjun talked eloquently just now, and he explained the situation of the Hanmen thoroughly. The Nine Grades Official Law originally improved the probation system, but now it is difficult for virtuous and talented children of the poor family to get high grades, Wei Xiaolangjun, why is this"

Wei Jiao's face changed suddenly.

It was the two sentences that Sima Pi asked when he entered the door just now, and his tone sounded unwelcome, but in fact there was no danger, and he even used this lead to make Qi Gongming get a good errand, but at this moment, although Sima Pi smiled warmly, the words he asked were hidden with malice.

Wei Ji was originally from the Shi clan, if she frankly said today that the Jiupin Official Law has been completely controlled by the Shi clan, this word will spread, and Wei Ji will be in the circle of the Shi clan.

She would never do such a stupid thing, and said with a slight smile: "Zhongzheng recruits talents, naturally we must first look at Tan Tu Fengyi, the family history of the disciples of the Gaomen family, accumulated by several generations, such a poor disciple is not comparable, so it is not uncommon for the Zhongzheng to set the grade to be high for the children of the scholar family." ”

Sima Pi stared at her, raised his eyebrows, sneered in his heart, avoided the important and light, a little slippery head.

"Oh, as you said, the scholars should be better than the Hanmen in the future"

A pit follows a pit, Wei Ji doesn't want to be abandoned by the scholars, but she never underestimates the children of the Han family, she secretly thinks in her heart, could it be that she witnessed Sima Pi kill people last time, so he has a mustard in his heart, so he is deliberately embarrassed

Thinking like this, she still smiled softly: "I thought that what the Hanmen lacked was only accumulation, not my own talent and ability, after all, the ancestors of the high sect of the scholar clan were also white, if the children of the Han clan can be passed on from generation to generation, and the knowledge can be studied and advanced with concentration, and the sand can still gather into a tower, can't the Hanmen become a scholar clan after several generations of hard work?"

Qi Gongming nodded again and again.

Sima Pi's face sank slightly, "Wei Xiaolangjun is good at arguing. ”

Wei Ji said: "I am still young, and I don't have enough vision and knowledge, so His Highness is smiling." ”

Sima Pi's gaze faintly crossed Wei Ji's face, and he said to Qi Gongming with a smile: "You go out for a walk with me." ”

Qi Gongming looked at Wei Jiao, and wondered in his heart, Wei Xiaolang's words and words about Fengyi were all good, why did King Langya not show appreciation, but called him together.

The two left the study building one after the other, Qi Gongming showed a grateful smile to Wei Ji before going out, today's opportunity was all because of Wei Ji, and his heart was extremely grateful.

Seeing that the two of them were gone, Wei Ji immediately relaxed her posture, slumped on the seat, and recalled the question and answer just now, feeling that she had defended the scholar clan and did not belittle the Han family, so it should be okay. After Sima Pi ascended the throne, he wanted to reuse the Hanmen many times, but was obstructed by the scholars, which caused a lot of turmoil in the court. It's just that the pressure of the Huan family on the imperial court made him finally choose to rely on the surnames Wang Xie and Xie.

Wei Ji can understand his mind a little, but then he sneered secretly, Sima Pi is disgusted with the inheritance of the Shi family's family and the government, but in the world, the largest family and one surname are not the Sima family.

Wei Ji only thought about it for a moment before coming back to her senses, drank a cup of tea, got up and continued to sort out the silk books.

On this day, Qi Gongming went out for an hour before coming back, and told Wei Ji about the benefits of Sima Pi with great interest, and swore again: "I have already told His Highness that Xiao Langjun is young but has extraordinary knowledge, and if His Highness promotes and reuses Xiao Langjun in the future, we can work together again." ”

Before the young scholars came out, it was also a way to be promoted to the rank of some court magnates first.

When Wei Ji heard this, she was dumbfounded, and waved her hand again and again: "I know Brother Gongming's kindness, but don't pretend to me in His Royal Highness in the future." ”

"Why is that?"

Wei Ji said with a straight face: "The road is long, and I will go up and down to seek." I am young, and I should concentrate on my studies and not ask about other things. ”

Qi Gongming's heart shook, and he said in admiration: "In the past, I thought that most of the children of the scholar clan were gentlemen, but I was shallow, and Wei Xiaolangjun's dedication to learning is really admirable." ”

Wei Ji was secretly embarrassed, "...... It's not so good either. ”

Wei Ji sorted out the silk books and moved them up and down that day, Qi Gongming always talked to her, her body was exhausted, and she took a nap in the car on the way back.

When the lights were in hand, the car arrived in front of the house, and the coachman called Xiao Langjun, seeing that there was no response inside, and was about to raise his voice again, when he suddenly saw Wei Zhao walking out of it with his own guards.

Wei Zhao strode over, opened the door, and saw Wei Ji lying inside.

Wei Zhao said in his heart: Compared with Xiao Langjun of the same age, this younger brother seems to be thinner and thinner.

Seeing her lying on the mattress, he reached out and tried to take her down. Just as it touched her shoulder, Wei Jiao's fine eyelashes flapped slightly, and then opened her eyes.

Wei Ji was a little stunned, her eyes were slightly damp, and the moment she looked at it, it seemed that she was going to reflect people into her pupils, as if she was a little affectionate.

Knowing that it was just an illusion, Wei Zhao's heart still slammed into his mouth, and his breathing became a little heavy.

Wei Ji got up, and Wei Zhao reached out to hold her.

Wei Ji knew that Wei Zhao was going out as soon as she saw the battle at the door, and going out at this time was usually for entertainment, and after she greeted Wei Zhao with a smile, she went inside.

Wei Zhao stood at the door and watched her back, until she disappeared, still standing still, her eyes were unfathomable, and the people next to her felt a little strange, but no one dared to remind her.

Wei Zhao's brows were tightly locked, no one knew that under his calm and calm appearance, his mind was depressed and wild. He had never hesitated like this, it seemed like an abyss in front of him, and when he realized it, he was already standing on the edge of a cliff. One step out is about to fall into it, but at this moment, knowing the danger, he is always attracted and wants to move forward.

He took a deep breath, turned and mounted his horse, pulled the reins, and departed under the guard of his own guard.

Today, the generals from all walks of life in Jiangzhou gathered together and invited Wei Zhao to the banquet. It turned out that Wei Zhao took an army to Yuzhang, and all parts of Jiangzhou still took a wait-and-see attitude, although General Jianwu was famous, but if he was to be transferred to another place in the end, it would have little to do with the local area, but now everyone knows that Huan Chong is the new assassin, and Wei Zhao will also be the superintendent. So he immediately moved up and down and invited Wei Zhao out.

I went to a courtyard in the west of the city, a courtyard of a general, and there were few people living on weekdays, so it was remote and quiet, without disturbance, and no one cared for the singing and dancing at night, so it was used as a place for entertainment, and sometimes it was rented to colleagues in the army. Entertaining Wei Zhao today, he used his own heart, cleaned up inside and outside, hung the lanterns high, and the servants changed into new clothes.

On the table, there are even more silk bamboos, cups and plates are staggered.

Now no one in the officialdom of Yuzhang doesn't know that Wei Zhao is a romantic seed, and a few tricks were invited during the banquet, all of whom were famous prostitutes in Yuzhang City, and they were born Chunlan Qiuju, each of whom was good at winning the scene, and all of them were good at the lively scene. The generals had already saluted Wei Zhao for a round of wine before they took the lead, and at this time, a trick twisted his waist and stepped forward with a smile, and served wine to Wei Zhao, and his body almost fell softly on Wei Zhao's body, and he called "general" with a delicate voice.

Wei Zhao does not refuse to act on the spot, but his mind is not on this, and he talks and laughs with everyone. At this time, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, born with red lips and white teeth, and a slender body, completely different from the generals here. He came in and sat next to a soldier at the back seat, and behaved intimately, and others were not surprised.

Seeing that Wei Zhao was paying attention to that seat, General Xun explained in a low voice in his ear: "That's Yan joining the army, he is a good man, this is his good look, and he is also a famous boy in the city, called Dunqiao." ”

General Xun saw Wei Zhao looking there from time to time, and he still felt strange in his heart, he had never heard that Wei Zhao was a good man, how could he be a charming beauty on the side, and he was still paying attention to him. General Xun is also a good person, and quickly ordered the servant to say two words, and the servant ran to the military seat and said something, only to see that the soldier and the guy named Dunqiao were very surprised, and then Dunqiao stepped forward with a wine glass in his hand and came to Wei Zhao to toast. General Xun took the opportunity to let him sit next to Wei Zhao.

Wei Zhao naturally knew that it was the temptation of this group of people, so he nodded and took a sip of wine. Dun Qiao blushed, came to Wei Zhao's side, and the trick just now happened to be on the left and right, his eyes were tilted upward, his face was handsome, he smiled and reached out on the back of Wei Zhao's hand, and shouted clearly, "General Wei." ”

Wei Zhao shook off his hand, his stomach tumbled, his face turned black, and he suddenly got up.

The author has something to say:

Hahahaha...... Thank you to the little angel who voted for me during 2023-01-06 00:10:44~2023-01-06 23:34:41~

Chapter 77: Visiting the Garden

When the generals saw him change color, they were immediately silent, and only the trick who had just added wine noticed that Wei Zhao was because of the man beside him, and smiled coquettishly to pull Wei Zhao's sleeve, "General, don't let irrelevant people lose their interest."

Wei Zhao glanced at the banquet, smiled again, and left the table under the pretext of going out to blow a gust of wind, but he was still irritable in his heart. After a while, he returned to the table, but the man named Dun Qiao was gone, Most of the generals present were people with clear eyebrows and eyes, and after what happened just now, they immediately knew that Wei Zhao was not good at this, so they immediately got people away.

Everyone was smiling and laughing, the atmosphere was warm, and there was a trick sitting in the middle of the two seats, playing and singing the piano.

The piano music is lingering, and the singing is tactful.

Wei Zhao laughed with the left and right for a while, and was toasted by large and small official positions, during which he smiled at the corner of his lips, and naturally had the nobility of a family and his demeanor. The generals are more and more in awe of him, I have heard that Wei Zhao is brave and fierce on the battlefield, and he has made great achievements at a young age, Now the defeat of the Northern Expedition has already been rumored, Wei Zhao's first victory is more and more prominent, Seeing that he is so sophisticated, and the set in the officialdom is also unambiguous, no one at the moment measures him by age, that is, a veteran in his forties, and he does not dare to be called long in front of him, and only respectfully shouts "general" in his mouth.

After drinking a round of wine, Wei Zhao felt that he was almost done, put down his wine glass, and said to the left and right: "There is still important business tomorrow, so I will go back first." ”

The trick will give the trick a look.

The trick hurriedly smiled and stayed, "The general doesn't dislike me for not being able to wait, and it's not too late to have another drink and leave." ”

The corners of Wei Zhao's mouth were slightly upturned, and he swept it over, but his gaze was awe-inspiring, and he didn't dare to make a mistake. He asked his servants to give the trick more money, and he did not stop at his feet.

Seeing that he had drunk a lot of wine, the guards immediately persuaded: "The general should go back in an ox cart." ”

Wei Zhao waved his hand, grabbed the saddle and got on the horse, pulled the reins, and quickly left.

Back in the mansion, the crescent moon hung high in the air, Wei Zhao was riding fast for a while, and the irritability and depression in his heart dissipated a little, and he just entered the courtyard and looked up to see that the lights in Wei Zhao's yard were still on. He paused, pondered for a moment, turned to walk towards Wei Zhao's courtyard, and before he came to the door, the lights suddenly went out, and Wei Zhao stared at the house where the lights were on just now.

He looked too pretentious, his gaze was stoic, and it seemed to have a deep meaning.

When he came back to his senses, he turned his head and suddenly saw a slightly strange gaze from the guard. It was too strange for a general like him, who was in authority, to come back half of the party and stand in front of the gate of his younger brother's courtyard.

Wei Zhao's clenched fist quietly loosened, and he turned around and went back to the main room with a tense face.

Wei Ji and Qi Gongming sorted out for another two days, and most of the silk books in the palace building were sorted out, and the rest of the day was almost completed. After getting along with each other for the past few days, Qi Gongming has long since stopped ignoring Wei Ji because of his young age, on the contrary, he often talks with Wei Ji and asks for some things that should be paid attention to in the Gaomen Shi Clan's mansion. This is Qi Gongming's shortcoming, Wei Ji is different from other scholars and children, he is very good at talking, so he took the opportunity to ask a lot.

Wei Ji told her without reservation that these were the insights she had accumulated over the years in Xie Valve in her previous life. Qi Gongming's knowledge is excellent, and she also asked a lot of questions. Qi Gongming simply gave her a codex that he had recorded, saying that it was a record of what he had learned from Master Zhao. This kind of codex will not be given away if it is not the same family, and Wei Ji took it without any psychological burden.

Both of them felt that they had made progress, and they were extremely satisfied with the errand of tidying up the library.

In the afternoon, because of the silk books on the upper shelves, a puff of dust was raised in the building, and Qi Gongming saw Wei Ji standing on the side, with a light robe and a leisurely and elegant attitude. Hurriedly said: "Wei Xiaolangjun, the dust is too big, you go out for a walk first, and come back when I pack up." ”
