"The student has met Master Shangshu." Yu Qian gave his hand, before the exam began, the Ministry of Rites had recommended six bigwigs to the matter, and he knew Li Qing's identity.

It's just that he doesn't understand that the dignified military department will come to talk to him.

"No need to be polite." Li Qing smiled, "Are you sure that you will be in the middle of the armor?" ”

Li Qing looked familiar, confused Yu Qian, out of courtesy, he replied: "There are many talents in the Ming Dynasty, and the students are not sure. ”

What's going on with this masked Shangshu? I don't even know him...... Yu Qian was puzzled, but also a little cramped.

The identities of the two are very different, even if he wins the champion, he can't be compared with a book.

"Haven't eaten yet?"

"Not yet." Yu Qian replied.

Li Qing scratched his head, and didn't know what to say for a while, "Ahem... So what, eat well, rest well. ”

Yu Qian said, "Thank you Lord Shangshu for your concern." ”

"Uh-hehe-he......" Li Qing smiled awkwardly, and saw that he was very restrained, so he let him go.

~

There is a lot of time, wait until he enters the military department...... Li Qing made up his mind and left the palace humming a little tune.

Li Qing didn't live in the Prince's Mansion, he was noisy, so he rented a house to live temporarily.

As soon as I entered the house, I smelled the familiar smell of rice.

"Sir."

The two little maids screamed timidly.

"Hmm." Li Qing nodded, and said to Wan Ling, "Smell this, it's your chef today, right?" ”

Wan Ling smiled, "Actually, they have learned almost, but they are also a little uncertain about Jiangnan cuisine, I am afraid that my husband will not be used to it, so the concubine will cook." ”

"Master, we're almost getting started." The little maid nodded vigorously, for fear of being fired.

Li Qing smiled, "You guys should also go to dinner, you don't have to wait." ”

"Yes, sir." The little maid breathed a sigh of relief, bowed, and then withdrew.

"They work very hard." Red sleeves said, "The concubine gave them three bills. ”

"Well, now that the treasure money is not as spent as it used to be, it is time for the salary to rise." Li Qing came to the table and sat down, "I'll take you for a walk in the afternoon." ”

"There's nothing missing at home." Red Sleeves smiled, "I bought so much in Jinling, I don't need to buy it for a long time." ”

"Idle is idle, it's good to walk more." Lian Xiang smiled and said, "It's not comfortable to stay at home all day, if Sister Red Sleeves doesn't want to go, Wanling and I will go." ”

Red Sleeves glanced at her and snorted, "Who said I didn't want to go?" ”

Li Qing smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat first." ”

……

After moving to Suntian, Li Qing often took them shopping, and spent almost all of his time with them except for official business.

~

Three days later, the results were released.

Yu Qian didn't get the first grade, but his grades were not bad, the second rank was among the best, and he was recruited by Li Qing into the military department, and he served as the military department.

The Ministry of War has given this position in the matter, although it is a positive seventh product, but the power is not small, responsible for transmitting the official documents of the Ministry of War, and has the right to supervise, and it is also a speech official.

It is a fragrant dumpling in the matter, and it is the favorite position of almost all Jinshi, which is much better than being a county official outside.

However, Yu Qian's position in the military department is also reasonable, and it is reasonable that the first class is all in the Hanlin Academy, and they are all given this kind of position in the matter, and they are generally held by the second class jinshi.

It's just that most of the second-class jinshi don't have this blessing, because there are only a few of them in the matter, but there are a bunch of second-class jinshi, and they all give this position in the matter, most of them are occupied, Yu Qian was very surprised that he could get this official position.

Becoming an official, he also wants to be in a high position and show his ambitions.

Starting from all the things, it is much better than the same batch of jinshi, and this position is also easy to promote.

Surprised, but also a little uneasy, he found that his boss seemed to be deliberately cultivating him.

I came to talk to him every once in a while, and even taught him the way to be an official, such as: how to display his ambitions while protecting himself.

Yu Qian was flattered and puzzled at the same time.

Although his ancestors also served as officials, it was a long, long time, before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, their family declined, and there was no human affection at all.

On this day, Yu Qian finally couldn't help it, and asked the doubts in his heart: "Lord Shangshu, you seem to be too good at humble duties, this is... Why? ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "It is the duty of the Shangguan to cultivate his subordinates, what is strange about the affairs of the official?" ”

After a pause, "The official is approachable and good to everyone, you get used to it, the official has always been so kind." ”

Yu Qian looked weird, most literati were humble, it was the first time he had seen such a boastful person, but ...... There's nothing wrong with that.

This Shangshu, good excessive!

"Work hard, Daming needs a talent like you." Li Qingzheng said, "Don't live up to the cultivation of this official." ”

"Remember." Yu Qian was thoughtful, and his tone was extremely serious.

Li Qing added: "Not only do you have to be able to do things, but you also have to be able to be an official, understand? ”

Yu Qian nodded, "The lowly position naturally has to cooperate with the boss in handling official affairs and obey the boss's arrangement, however, if the boss is inappropriate, the lowly position naturally has the right to give opinions;

The meaning of Shangshu is understood by all humble positions! ”

Li Qing touched his nose and didn't correct Yu Qian.

The heart of a child is precious, he wants Yu Qian to be a little smoother, but he doesn't want Yu Qian to lose his heart.

The current Yu Qian has not yet realized the sinister officialdom, and it is a little too early to talk about the way to be an official, so Li Qing decided to let him stay in this position in the capital for two years.

Although Li Qing is already in the age of sixties, it will not be a problem to work for another ten years.

What he thought was that before he left, let Yu Qian take over the position of the secretary of the military department.

……

Night.

"Boom ——!"

A thunderclap rang out, and Li Qing, who was asleep, woke up suddenly.

Due to the excessive movement, the three girls also woke up one after another, "What's the matter, sir?" ”

"It's nothing, you go back to sleep." Li Qing pretended to be relaxed and said, "I'll go out and see if it's going to rain." ”

The third girl didn't think much about it and lay down again.

Li Qing walked out of the room, jumped to the roof, and stared in the direction of the palace.

The sky was still thundering, but the sound was quieter and quieter, and there was no sign of rain, and after only a quarter of an hour, calm returned.

This mansion is far away from the palace, about seven or eight miles.

Rao is his vision is extremely far, and at such a distance, he can't see the situation clearly, unless the fire is ignited.

Li Qing was uneasy, more than ten days have passed, whether Zhu Zhanji can still be vigilant, he doesn't dare to guarantee, after thinking about it, he still decided to go and see it in person.

Returning to the room and poking the three girls a few times to make them sleep more soundly, Li Qing changed into an ink-colored robe and hurried to the palace.

The palace gate has long been locked, but the tall palace wall can't stop Li Qing's footsteps.

Soon, he quietly climbed over the wall and entered the palace.

The palace at night was terrifyingly quiet, there were not many people on duty, and the vigilance was not high, Li Qing didn't make much effort, so he bypassed the inspectors and approached the Fengtian Hall little by little.

Just after walking not far, he suddenly heard a noise, Li Qing was startled, approached quickly, and soon smelled smoke.

Damn, how dare you...... Li Qing gritted his teeth and was about to fight to expose and stop it, but he stopped his body again.

Because, someone has already been dispatched.

Li Qing condensed and took a look, only to see a group of more than 50 people, all of whom came with buckets in their hands, and scolded the first 'little eunuch':

"Damn, don't let go of the arsonist, whoever can catch it, this grandson will be rewarded with 100 gold!"

Xiao Zhanji is still very reliable...... Li Qing was a little relieved, took advantage of the chaos and left quietly, and rushed to the Jinshen Palace.

Due to the fear of exposure, Li Qing's speed was not fast, and when he arrived, Zhu Zhanji also led people to arrive and rushed directly to the palace, and soon, he heard the sound of begging for mercy inside.

Not even a single smoke rose from the temple!

Li Qing didn't go to the Huagai Hall again, Zhu Zhanji was obviously fully prepared, and there was no need to take the risk.

……

The next day, the morning dynasty.

Li Qing looked at the intact three major halls, and a sneer appeared in his heart, some people's calculations were ultimately in vain.

In Fengtian Palace, Zhu Di stood in front of the imperial case, his face full of anger.

The reason why he didn't sit down was because the dragon chair was burned, although only a little.

The Fengtian Temple was almost undamaged, except for Zhu Di's dragon chair, only two red lacquered wooden pillars were burned black, and the others were intact.

However, the fire in Fengtian Temple was extinguished, but the fire in Zhu Di's heart burned extremely vigorously.

His anger was fierce like never before.
