In front of his son, Shen Yun naturally didn't mind revealing some things.

"What, you mean to say that the vision of the Gongyuan Temple was caused by him?"

Looking at Shen Zui muttering to himself, Shen Yun nodded and said, "That's right, Originally, with his article, His Majesty wanted to point him as Huiyuan, but he was suppressed by Wang Jiefu and ranked second." However, he has already left a deep impression on His Majesty, and it will not be difficult to be reused in the future. ”

"Wang Xiang?" Shen was really surprised at this moment, "But isn't Wang Xiang just advocating law change, this article should be in line with his heart, why did he want to suppress Chen Fusheng in turn?"

It is difficult to explain this question at once, but Shen Yun still decided to explain the principle to his son in advance, so as not to suffer a big loss in the officialdom in the future.

"Because Wang Jiefu is the chief examiner of this exam, if he clicks on this article as the first name, many people will stand up and doubt him, let me ask you, do you know what Wang Jiefu's biggest advantage is?" Shen Yun looked at Shen Zui expectantly.

"Wang Xiang, everyone said that he was originally the champion of the imperial examination, but he fell to the fourth place because of the taboo words in the article, but he never complained about anything, and later many people recommended him, but he refused on the grounds that he did not want to stir up the wind of overstepping the promotion and that the family had an old mother to support. Therefore, everyone thinks that he is tranquil to fame and fortune, abides by discipline, and is a first-class gentleman, and then when His Majesty succeeded to the throne, he was greatly appreciated. Speaking of this, Shen Zui already understood a little, and said affirmatively, "It's reputation, and Wang Xiang's biggest advantage is his reputation for innocence." ”

"That's right," seeing that Shen Zui discovered this on his own, Shen Yun bowed his head and said with a pun, "Some people say that he is a hypocrite and sells his reputation, and some people say that he is a true gentleman and acts from his heart, I don't dare to assert this, but he will not let his reputation be damaged in vain." ”

"So he just wants to suppress Chen Fusheng, so as not to be accused of favoritism?" Shen Zui reasoned, "What is the difference between this and what happened to him back then?"

"Not necessarily," Shen Yun shook his head, "He should be sincere in this regard, after all, this article advocates changing the law, and it just tickles his itch." But you also read this article, Chen Fusheng didn't have a reputation in the capital before, once he won Huiyuan, it was obvious that he would be squeezed out and suppressed by the people in Shilin, so that he could protect Chen Fusheng, a talent in his eyes. Of course, the most important reason is still in the word rules. ”

Looking at his father, whose face suddenly became serious, Shen Yun muttered, "Rules?"

"Yes, in officialdom, the most important thing is the word rules. Shen Yun nodded and explained, "It's like this exam, he suddenly took the place of the examiner, and invisibly led those candidates to the side of the new party. ”

"Could it be that the conflict between the new party and the old party is really inevitable?" Shen Yun couldn't help but ask when he heard this heart-wrenching remark.

"Who is the husband and the other is at peace?" read a sentence of "Liu Haoran", Shen drunk nodded in affirmation, but also a little helpless, "Everyone has different political opinions, like fire and water, and there are a large number of people behind them, how can they always be peaceful? ”

"Then father, will you be okay?" Shen Zui looked worried, although Shen Yun is also a family of poetry and books for generations, he can't be called a doorman, Shen Yun is also the Shen family with the highest official position in the past few decades, if he has an accident, it will be a big trouble.

"I don't know. Shen Zui didn't open his mouth to comfort, but said the truth, "That's why I insisted that you go down to participate in this year's Spring Festival, originally I served as the deputy chief examiner, which would have some impact on you, but now it is the eve of the storm, and it is not suitable to come out to be an official, but if something happens to me, you as my son will definitely be suppressed, maybe you will not be able to get a jinshi in your life, and now that you have been selected, it can be regarded as a matter of my heart." As long as you have this identity, even if you are dismissed, there is always a hope. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Yun's eyes suddenly became cold, and he said: "So after the palace test, I will find a way to transfer you to the Hanlin Academy, avoid the turmoil of the past few years, and it will not be too late to come out when the overall situation is decided in the future." During this time, it is best not to do anything other than to do your job with peace of mind, as long as you protect yourself. ”

Like the Shen Mansion, the Changle Hou Mansion also has a father and son.

"Dad, you mean that the kid I fought against that day won the second place in the exam?" Xiao Hai looked up at the contemporary Changle Hou, Xiao Weiyuan.

"Yes, but not only him, but the kid named Ye Xin, and the only son of Shen Yun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, have also been admitted to the Jinshi, but their ranking is not as good as his. ”

It was not Xiao Weiyuan who answered him, but Xiao Hai's second uncle.

"Dad, second uncle, do you want me to apologize to those boys?" Xiao Hai shook his head dissatisfiedly, "I haven't regained the face I lost so much that day, and I will definitely not whisper to those people." ”

"That's natural, although my Xiao family is not the blood of Taizu, but after all, they are also from the same source, although they are new science and technology scholars, how can they not compare to the stability of our Xiao family for generations with Danshu iron coupons, but you are not young anymore, your eldest brother has been fighting on the battlefield for two years when he is your age, and all the men of our Xiao family have to join the army when they are adults, and my eldest brother and I unanimously decided to send you to the battlefield to sharpen yourself. Whether you want to go to Nanban or Northern Xinjiang, you can choose one yourself, right?"

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Hai was like a balloon that had run away, and it wilted in an instant, and he couldn't hold any spirits.

If he had a choice, of course he didn't want to leave the bright capital and go to the battlefield to eat dirt, but he also understood that in the hundred years since the founding of the country, the Xiao family has not only not declined, but has become more and more prosperous, just because he has adhered to the rules set by the first Changle Marquis, and he cannot refuse.

"Okay, I'll choose the northern frontier, and the south will drill into the forest, I can't stand the weather, although there is more wind and sand in the north, it is not much different from the climate in the capital. Xiao Hai did not hesitate at all and spoke.

Neither his father nor his second uncle had any surprise about this, and it was obvious that Xiao Hai's choice was all in their hands.

Northern Xinjiang is also the most powerful place in the Marquis of Changle.

When all parts of the capital speculated and responded to the direction of this trial.

An uninvited guest also came to an alley in the eastern city.
