Unexpectedly, Jian Qu not only didn't feel bored, laughed, and said to Su Ziji: "You are so straightforward, it fits the spleen and stomach of the army, no wonder you will be sent to the army." ”

As he spoke, he immediately said outside, "Did you hear that?" and immediately went to prepare charcoal and blankets for the two adults. ”

"Yes!" came from outside.

"By the way, let's go prepare some wine and food, I hit it off with the two adults, and I'm going to invite them to have a drink!" Jian Qu said again.

If this command continues, it will be difficult to drive people out again.

Shao Sisen glanced at Su Ziji a little helplessly, and secretly thought, could it be that Su Zizi was born in a small family and didn't understand the stakes?

Su Ziji only didn't realize it and invited Jian Qu to take a seat.

There is a table of eight immortals in the tent, which can be used as a desk, can also be used for eating, and can also be used to sit around during deliberations, so Su Ziji invited this unknown Mr. Jian to sit down.

And he also pulled Shao Sisen to sit down.

As he spoke, someone soon came in and brought some dishes and drinks, although they were simple, nothing more than cutting beef and mutton, but the portion was sufficient.

Shao Sisen looked at the wine and food that had obviously been prepared in advance, and thought thoughtfully.

Su Ziji should eat and drink, and chatted with Jian Qu.

Jian Qu seemed to have just known their identities, and when he heard that they were not officials, but the students who accompanied him, Su Zizhi was still a provincial Xie Yuan, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Where does this start?"

"As far as I know, the students of Taixue can directly participate in the examination, and Su Gongzi, you are a province of Jieyuan, if you participate in the examination, you will definitely win, such a high talent, was stuffed into the entourage before the examination, and when you arrived in our southwest, isn't this intended to let the two of you miss the examination?"

"Yes, the military department made such a mistake, the students really can't believe it!" Su Ziji was indignant, and hid the smile on the corner of his mouth by drinking.

"This Jian Qu is interesting, no, it should be said that Qian Zhidong has some meaning, and this intends to win over people who have grievances against the imperial court to be the inside line of this Qincha team?"

"It seems that Qian Zhidong, Qin Fengliang and others are jealous of the imperial court, and they are not wronged, and they have been entrenched in the southwest for a long time, so they really have a trace of ambition. ”

"I may not dare to openly oppose the imperial court, but it is true that I can use the momentum of the imperial court to strengthen myself. ”

"The reason why we lost the battle is that we really can't win it, or do we dare not win it?

"Now that Da Zheng is at its peak, it has been 30 years since the founding of the country, and it is not a troubled time, no matter which one it is, it is destined not to end well. ”

With this mind, even if these people have some loyalty, they will betray if they have enough interests. ”

"And this Jian Qu, looking at his thirties, in fact, he is in his early forties, when the Zheng Dynasty first founded the country, he was admitted to the Juren, but it has been almost 30 years, and he is still just a Juren. It's not an old man in terms of age, but it's definitely worth it in terms of qualifications. ”

"Actually, you can also be an official, although you are a petty official from Jiupin, but it is obviously too small, so you defected to Qian Dashuai and wanted to fight for a future?"

"For such a person who has repeatedly failed to be lifted and has never met talents, I can repay it in the same way. Su Ziji saw through Jian Qu's tentative thoughts, his heart moved slightly, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he sighed at the same time: "The small family is like this, they all say that there are people in the court who are good officials, and this imperial examination, why is it not the case?"

"How many talented people, either because they are in the way of others, or because they are hated by villains, have repeatedly failed to make the list, and even have been deprived of the opportunity to gain fame. ”

"It's not that there is no talent, but Maxima often has, Bole does not often have. ”

"That's good!" Jian Qu drank quite a lot, so he only drank a glass of wine, but I don't know why, when he heard Su Ziji's complaint, he suddenly felt like a confidant, and he only felt that he had been unsatisfactory all these years, and he had an outlet.

He was in Xiucai at the age of fifteen, what a beautiful time it was, and he was even recognized as a genius by the villagers at that time, and he was a reading seed that must have a great future and be a high-ranking official, but in the next twenty years, people who entered school later than him were selected as children, Xiucai, and even lifted, and he was like being hated, and he was forced not to come out.

He raised his own fame, but he still took refuge in the marshal, got a recommendation, and took a test in the southwest, and he was successful.

"It's unbearable. ”

At that time, Dashuai had just arrived in the southwest, and there was no energy to interfere in the imperial examination, so Jian Qu decided that he could not get ahead in the original province because he was persecuted, because some people were jealous of his outstanding talent, and jealous that he was famous when he was young, in order to exclude himself, so that those who had backstage connections or money could occupy his quota.

At this time, when he heard that Su Ziji was also treated in the same way, he couldn't help but feel a relative, and at a glance, he happened to see the manuscript on the couch, so he asked, "But Su Gongzi's manuscript?"

After receiving an affirmative reply, he got up, walked over, picked up the manuscript, read it carefully, and immediately felt amazed, and was full of faith in the fact that Su Ziji was framed.

Such a talent, really participated in the examination, even if he can't get the top spot in the list, at least the second list of Jinshi must have a background, and then think of his past, his heart is even more sour, and he sighed long: "With such talent, no wonder ......"

I don't know if I am lamenting Su Zi's nationality, or sighing about my own half of his life.

After sitting down again, Jian Qu talked more and more, and sighed again and again when he talked about the unfairness of the imperial examination in the imperial court.

Su Ziji naturally responded, and said that he was more sad and angry than Jian Qu, because of his talent and experience, not only did not appear false, but also made Jian Qu agree with him and empathize.

Shao Sisen, who was sitting on the side, listened to their left mouth "the children of the official family are jealous of the virtuous and the able", and the right side said "the scholarly family is just deceiving the world and stealing fame", and then criticized "officials protect each other and cheat and take people", his mouth pursed, and he was very unconvinced.

If it weren't for the fact that he had just been convinced by Su Ziji before, he would have already refuted it at this time, but even so, they talked endlessly, and Shao Sisen couldn't stand it.

"Even if there are really people who deceive the world and steal their reputation, how can they say such an exaggeration?

Thinking like this, he said coldly: "The children of the official family are all jealous and jealous people, this must be a little too much, I don't know how many children of the official family Mr. Jian has seen before, and he can say such things?"

"Besides, I opened the country when Da Zheng was founded, and it was when the officials ruled the Qingming Dynasty, how could there be so much room for fraud?" Shao Sisen himself is an official eunuch, doesn't he know that when he takes the county test, he may be able to affect one or two, and if he wants to affect the provincial test, it is difficult for even people with more than three grades.

Instead of cheating, it is better to enter Taixue training, which is more effective and legitimate.

As a result, as soon as the words came out, someone suddenly kicked him in the calf.

Shao Sisen frowned slightly, and immediately looked at Su Ziji, but saw Su Ziji shaking his head slightly, and suddenly seemed to understand something, so he had to shut his mouth.
