Chapter 261: Rumors of Investiture
At the meeting of the Furong Pavilion, Ye Xingyuan was not chaotic after all, lived up to the beauty and left, and kept his ninth child's body. I went to chant for a long time: "I once whipped a famous horse because of drunkenness, for fear that I would be tired of beauties." "It was a good story for a while.
The cow can't force his head if he doesn't drink water, and Tang Shiyan is also helpless, only more worried about the little brother's sexual orientation. However, the wind in Beijing soon changed dramatically, and he heard some rumors, so that he had no time to pay attention to the matter.
On this day, Ye Xingyuan was working hard in the room, and Tang Shiyan broke in worriedly, and said hurriedly: "Brother Xian, do you know that there have been many rumors in Beijing recently. How can it be said that the scholars have joined forces to ruin your chance to enter Hanlin?"
This news is not surprising, Emperor Longping nodded a little in front of Ye Xingyuan before, so Ye Xingyuan was also mentally prepared, and said indifferently: "Where did Brother Tang hear such news?
What kind of power is it for the five cabinet ministers to join forces to do something? Even though this is to break the tradition of conferring official titles, if the cabinet is united, even the emperor will not be able to do anything. They don't need to rely on public opinion at all, and at this time, there is a rumor in Beijing suddenly, either someone else is deliberately adding fuel to the fire, or someone deliberately wants to remind Ye Xingyuan.
After thinking about it, Ye Xingyuan felt that the latter was more likely, which also meant that there were different voices from the five scholars in the DPRK after all. This made Ye Xingyuan even more relieved, and he had more confidence in the path he had chosen.
He was calm, but Tang Shiyan was not in a hurry for the emperor and the eunuch was in a hurry, so he jumped to his feet and said: "The wind is groundless, and it may not be without a reason." According to the rules of this dynasty, you are not allowed to enter the cabinet unless you are Hanlin, if you are robbed of this opportunity, your career will be much more bumpy in the future!"
Tang Shiyan's tone was anxious and sincere, and Ye Xingyuan was grateful in his heart. smiled: "Brother Tang is a true friend, I already know it." However, this matter was expected by me, when I offered auspicious rui to go to the emperor's door, I had already thought of today.
First, this matter may not be as smooth as you think, and second, even if they really force me to leave Beijing, it may not be able to hinder my future. It is a tradition that non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet, and it is also a tradition that the champion is awarded to the Hanlin Academy to revise. ”
If the first tradition is broken with power, it means that the second tradition can also be broken in the future, but when most people are in power. I don't even think about the future.
Tang Shiyan heard Ye Xingyuan's answer like this, and said with a solemn expression: "Brother Xian is really a clever plan, so in this way, you have already made all preparations before the test?
Ye Xingyuan smiled and said nothing, he did have a rough plan before the test, but it would be too exaggerated to say that he had a comprehensive plan. After all, it will be difficult to try, even Ye Xingyuan cannot lock the champion 100%. If the test results were average, he had already thought about leaving Beijing to endure the humiliation and leave Beijing to brush up on sympathy.
But everything went well, after winning the first imperial examination in this dynasty, Ye Xingyuan of course had to change his means of coping. Walk. You still have to go, but don't be so complacent, of course he has to make up for it from somewhere else.
The rumors in Jingzhong were extremely fast, after Tang Shiyan. One after another, several new jinshi who had received Ye Xingyuan's benefits in the examination came to visit, some expressed indignation, and some expressed worry and condolences.
Ye Xingyuan thanked them one by one, but they all persuaded them not to believe or spread rumors. The righteous and awe-inspiring expression of belief in the imperial court's belief in the elder pavilion must have a reason for acting.
At night, everyone who came sighed and left, Ye Xingyuan shook his head at Tang Shiyan and sighed: "The world is hot and cold, I can be regarded as seeing it, and the people who came to see me today are still loyal and upright." The rest of the new science and technology scholars are all enlightened and self-protective. ”
There are more than 70 new jinshi in this department, and only more than ten people came to visit Ye Xingyuan after learning the news, including Bangyan Wen Xuhuai, Tanhua Yang Bo and others have not come, and it seems that they have already had the intention of settling the relationship.
In fact, if the champion does not enter Hanlin, this matter will not only affect Ye Xingyuan, but also affect the jinshi of this department. But they are forced by authoritarianism and don't even dare to ask, which is a bit embarrassing.
Tang Shiyan realized that the situation was serious, and although he had confidence in Ye Xingyuan, he still asked worriedly: "Now that I have seen the dagger, the new junior will be awarded the rank in three days, I don't know how the virtuous brother plans to deal with it?"
According to the rules of this dynasty, after the new entry into the Shidenko, there is a holiday of twenty years, and it is possible to celebrate and rest and visit relatives and other miscellaneous things. After the expiration of the period, Sanding A and Tongjinshi will be awarded by the Ministry of Officials, and the second-class Jinshi can participate in the selection of the Hanlin Pavilion, and the selected ones are Shu Jishi, and the unsuccessful ones will also be matched by the officials.
I don't know what kind of means a few scholars will use to force Ye Xingyuan, but don't suffer a secret loss.
Ye Xingyuan said casually: "The scholars are in a group, and if they take the opportunity to take charge of the world, the mandate of heaven can also be violated." I don't know what they are going to do, and how they can know how to deal with it in advance. ”
Tang Shiyan didn't know the reason, and if he wanted to ask again, Ye Xingyuan only chanted: "Insist that Qingshan will not relax, and let the wind blow from east to west, north and south." ”
After that, he simply closed the door, and a champion who had just graduated from high school suddenly became cold, which was embarrassing. Zhu Ning'er, who had been busy with the construction of the Raven Temple, learned the news and hurried back to discuss with him.
"There is no way to be a faint official, and the lord is talented and does not meet, so it is better to do the opposite!" Zhu Ning'er is always so direct.
Ye Xingyuan is now used to it, and he knows that he can't tell her clearly, so he wrote lightly: "The time has not come, and let's see later." If you lose your horse, don't you know if it's a blessing?"
So Zhu Ning'er realized again, nodded violently and said: "The lord said this very much, the more they are afraid and afraid, the more they expose their weak and rotten nature. squeezed out the lord out of Beijing, but just let the lord accumulate strength for the future, it was the niece who was confused. ”
She said in her heart that Ye Xingyuan was originally not in the court, and it was not in line with his life path to spend time in Hanlin and slowly climb up. Maybe I have to thank these academics for being squeezed out.
Later, Zhu Ning'er enthusiastically devoted herself to the infrastructure construction of the Raven God Sect, and now the starting point of the lord is getting higher and higher. If she doesn't work hard, she may not be able to keep up.
At nightfall, Mrs. Li also came to pay an unannounced visit and admired: "The prince is far-sighted, and for the sake of the saint's spiritual bones and my Yao family, it is really a wise move to abandon the way of Hanlin." Such a decision is very human, please accept the concubine. ”
After Ye Xingyuan won the champion, Mrs. Li was worried that the original agreement between the two would change, and she was afraid that her efforts in the subordinates would be in vain, but she had been unable to find time to discuss with Ye Xingyuan privately in the past few days. It wasn't until such a rumor came out in Beijing that Mrs. Li suddenly realized.
Ye Xingyuan already had two of the treasures of the five virtues in his hands, and he still needed to explore the tombs of the three saint disciples, pass the test, and collect the treasures of the five virtues before he could enter the saint's tomb to retrieve the spirit bones.
There are great difficulties in this matter, and when faced with the earthly future and the future path of ascension, the average person is not so quick to make a choice. Ye Xingyuan chose the latter without hesitation, which shows his wise decision.
Ye Xingyuan was ashamed of this, his decision was not a temporary idea after getting acquainted with Mrs. Li, but a plan before entering Beijing. It's just that as the events move forward step by step, they become more detailed and interesting. Especially after he won the champion, this departure from Beijing will become even more heroic.
Chaozhong is now a pool of stagnant water, if he really enters Hanlin, even if there is a backstage, he is afraid that he will have to sit patiently on the cold bench for ten years. Slowly boiling qualifications, this dynasty Zaifu has this experience.
Before Ye Xingyuan entered Beijing, he felt that time was running out due to the sense of heaven, so he made a dangerous move and took the fastest road to promotion. Later, he successfully became the emperor, and he expected this catastrophe after the imperial examination.
As for the treasure of the five virtues, the saint spirit bone, the secret power of the Yao family, etc., it was nothing more than giving him more weight.
However, since Mrs. Li felt that Ye Xingyuan was for the Yao family, there was no need to deny it, so he smiled and said, "Madame, why should you be polite? This matter is just to take what you need, as you said at the beginning, how can any ambitious scholar resist the temptation of the saint's spiritual bones?"
This time you came just in time, I am waiting for you, I want to ask the officials here, can you make a good relationship? This matter must not go wrong, otherwise it will be delayed again. ”
Mrs. Li nodded and said: "Originally, this matter has been decided, the county order of Qiongguan County in Jianmen is vacant, if you are a second-class jinshi, you can make up for this position." But when you win the championship in one fell swoop, things will inevitably change. ”
Qiongguan County is located in the borderland, the people are fierce, the wind and sand all year round, and bandits are everywhere. And because the local people are mainly engaged in animal husbandry, there is not much grain, although the place is wide, it belongs to the county, and the county magistrate is the seventh grade of the job, and the new branch jinshi has been degraded to throw it away. If you let the champion who was originally from the sixth grade to serve, I am afraid that it will be even more unreasonable.
Therefore, Mrs. Li was a little hesitant, but Ye Xingyuan was overjoyed when he heard it: "It's good here, Qiongguan is the northernmost place in Jianmen Province, right?
Mrs. Li was stunned, and she didn't understand what Ye Xingyuan was thinking, so she could only listen to his instructions and continue to finalize with the people in the ministry, leaving this vacancy.
Ye Xingyuan shook his spirits, closed the door tightly, thought for a while, and wrote a book without adding points. Although he has not been awarded an official now, Jinshi is the courage of the literati, and the founding emperor Taizu set the rule that "anyone who reads can go to the book to talk about things", and Jinshi is originally an alternate official, and he is not subject to the restrictions of not speaking about the government.
He was quick-witted, but in a matter of moments he had finished writing, slightly polished, and carefully copied a few copies. felt that it was almost over, so he called Zhu Ning'er and explained a few words in his ear. Zhu Ning'er was elated, took a few manuscripts, and took the order in admiration.
For the remaining two, Ye Xingyuan estimated the timing and prepared to write to the cabinet and the emperor at the same time. (To be continued.) )
