  Chapter 468 T-shaped scroll Shexian Wang Wenyan, Chivalrous Kyushu Biography

Lin Ruhai laughed, "He is my proud student of the same year who is now the Zuo Deputy Capital Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he is also the closed disciple of Qi Yongtai, who is now a scholar of the Dongge University and Minister of the Ministry of Officials. You said that even this Can't you think about it?"

"No matter how he is only sixteen years old, whether it is to suppress the rebellion in Xijiang, or to come up with the strategy of opening the sea to raise debts, that is just a higher-level consideration. As for these subtleties, you may not be able to imagine it? "

  The man in the blue shirt didn't take it seriously, he felt that Dong Weng had a too high opinion of this dashing young man.

   "Of course, this point is definitely not a problem for Qiao and Qi, but it is true."

  Lin Ruhai shook his head, "Wen Yan, if you get a chance, you'll know that he is not such a simple young man."

   "Oh? Dong Weng has seen him, what is he doing here?" Wang Wenyan was very curious. He was also a well-known figure in Jiangnan Shilin, but he went south quietly. Why? Even if you want to avoid the limelight, you must have a suitable reason, such as a good man who observes politics.

   "He went south with Cui Jingrong, the right servant of the household department. The imperial court intends to let them investigate and understand the conditions for opening the sea in the south of the Yangtze River, and the pilot site has been selected. Well, he is now compiled by the Imperial Academy."

Lin Ruhai is also full of emotions, he himself was born in Tanhua, but he was only awarded an editor by the Imperial Academy, and then he embarked on this road, and this kid was born as a second-class Jinshi and got an editor who is only qualified for the number one scholar , I have to say that the imperial court's favor is different.

   "The Hanlin Academy edited it?! The second-class Jinshi was awarded the Imperial Academy edited it? It's only been more than a year!" The man in the green shirt was shocked.

  He was born as a petty official, and when he was young, he also hoped to find a way out through the scientific examination, but it was a pity that even the scholar failed to pass the exam for several years, and finally he was forced to work as a petty official in She County due to livelihood.

From Shexian County to Huizhou and then to Yangzhou, his journey was bumpy. He was betrayed by his friends and framed by his colleagues, but he finally broke through, but he saw that he had reached the status of the chief staff member of the transfer salt envoy of the Huaihe River and Huaihe River. However, when Dong Weng was seriously ill, he couldn't help but feel that the laws of heaven are impermanent.

He has always been full of longing for the scientific examination, but unfortunately he is not a material for studying, and he also knows that if he fails the scientific examination pass in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he will never have the power center, but he is still not reconciled, so he will go to the Lianghuai Salt Luck Yamen this path.

After all, this place is a bit different from the normal local government offices. Relying on the emperor's favor and favor, there are more opportunities here. It's a pity that the sky is not fake, but this Dong Weng has encountered such a bad luck .

This even made him, a high-spirited man who has experienced countless setbacks, feel disillusioned and frustrated. After all, a private staff like him, especially a petty official who is not even a scholar, wants to find a suitable Dongweng again. It is very difficult to win the recognition and trust of the other party.

  If I want to find this kind of opportunity again, I don’t know how many years it will take, and how many years do I have for myself to squander?

   It's just that Dong Weng is seriously ill now, and he is not the kind of person who is unkind and ungrateful. Naturally, he will always accompany him to the end. Although he is not considered a scholar, he has always demanded himself by the standards of a scholar, or even higher.

  Although he didn't know what kind of arrangement Dong Weng would make for him, after all these years by Dong Weng's side, he certainly knew that his own Dong Weng's special position was different from other officials.

  This is entirely dependent on the combination of the blue eyes of Emperor Yuanxi, that is, the current Supreme Emperor. In a sense, this inspector is the personal minister of the Supreme Emperor, and it is also a purse of the Supreme Emperor.

  From his own wishes, he is not too optimistic about his Dongweng's future.

  Emperor Yuanxi has been in power for forty years, but he is old after all, and has already passed the throne to Emperor Yonglong. Even though there are some inside stories that are not humane, he doesn't think that others have too many opportunities.

  Dayi is on the side of Emperor Yonglong, and it will be too difficult for others to turn the tables, unless they get the full support of the Supreme Emperor, and the damage to the entire Great Zhou Dynasty will undoubtedly be too costly.

  He also didn't think that Emperor Yuanxi, who had been in office for forty years, would act in such a rash way because of a momentary emotion.

   But now Dong Weng's body also determines his own destiny, it seems that he has ushered in a turning point, what kind of arrangement Dong Weng will make for himself, he didn't ask.

Recommending to Dong Weng Xiangshan's colleagues is a way, but he is not optimistic, because Dong Weng's position determines that he will not have many close colleagues, which is almost cut off from scholars, even if there are, it is an ordinary relationship between classmates and fellow villagers , is definitely not a fellow traveler, and his own background is unlikely to win the trust of these people.

   It is more likely to give myself a sum of money so that I can have a stable and prosperous second half of my life, but this is exactly not what I want.

"Well, it was compiled by the Imperial Academy of Removing Officials. It is so out of the ordinary, mainly because the court believes that his military exploits in suppressing the rebellion in the western borders and his contribution to the strategy of opening up the sea to raise debts are said to be particularly appreciated by the emperor." Lin Ruhai's eyes were calm, but There is still a little more appreciation in the tone.

   "The imperial court's rewards for military merits are not insignificant." The man in the blue shirt couldn't help but sigh.

"In classical Chinese, it depends on the person. Civil servants make military achievements, which is natural, but military generals may not." Lin Ruhai shook his head, "But this time is different. Feng Ziying made military achievements, and the court rewarded him for posthumous uncle Marquis Hulun, and allowed him to concurrently attack the noble, and the Hanlin Academy compiled more because the idea of ​​opening the sea to borrow money was in line with the emperor's mind, and it also solved the urgent need of the cabinet."

"Oh? Concubine Xijue?" The man in the green shirt only knew that Feng Ziying came from a family of martial arts, but he was admitted to the Imperial Academy through the imperial examination. .

"Well, his elder died in the battle of Hulunsa more than ten years ago. Wenyan should have heard of that battle. It was a fierce battle between the northern court and the Tatars. At that time, Prince Zhongxiao, who is now the emperor, and Prince Zhongshun relied on the hard work of his elders to escape, so the current emperor can be regarded as making up for the debts owed by the court back then..."

  Wang Wenyan, the man in the blue shirt, nodded. He didn't understand why Dong Weng introduced the other party's concurrent status in such detail. What does this have to do with Dong Weng?

"He is also a noble, and his father and teacher found a good marriage for him. She is also the eldest daughter of Shen Jiyu, the governor of Dongchang Prefecture, Shandong Province, who was also a fellow of Suzhou in the same year as I was." .

  Wang Wenyan suddenly realized that his Dong Weng was a little envious and jealous that Mr. Shen, who was of the same age and fellow countryman, recruited a good son-in-law?

   Coughed dryly, Wang Wenyan was also a little funny, but he couldn't show it.

At the same time, he can also understand that Dong Weng naturally has to think about his own daughter when his time is running out. Maybe he once thought about this Feng Xiuzhuan, but he didn't expect that someone would take the lead, and it was in the same year. As a fellow countryman, I'm afraid this grievance is really uncomfortable.

"Dong Weng, in fact, there is no need to worry about it. Miss Huizhi Lanxin will definitely have a good marriage. Although Feng Ziying seems to be radiant now, she is actually very attractive. Although she has two teachers to take care of her, she is so dazzling. I am afraid that my colleagues, the same year, and my fellow countrymen will also be jealous and jealous, and I am afraid that they will suffer a lot in the next few years..."

  Wang Wenyan's words stunned Lin Ruhai for a moment, and then he realized that his words seemed to have misunderstood the staff member, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Wen Yan, you misunderstood, I'm not jealous that Shen Jiyu found a good son-in-law,..."

   "Huh?" Wang Wenyan didn't react, you are not jealous, but why is that unhappy and worried look on your face?

   Seeing Wang Wenyan's puzzled face, Lin Ruhai thought for a while, and then said calmly: "Do you know what I meant when I mentioned that Feng Ziying was able to concurrently win the title because of his military achievements?"

  Wang Wenyan raised his eyebrows as if realizing something, and asked in surprise, "Dong Weng, what do you mean..."

"That's right. Four years ago, Feng Ziying and Yu'er were in danger in the Linqing civil uprising in Linqing. Feng Ziying rescued Yu'er and the former teacher of Yu'er, Jia Yucun, who is now the prefect of Jinling. Inviting cao soldiers in hand can be regarded as suppressing this civil uprising, otherwise Shandong will encounter great chaos back then..., and because of this, my same-year Qiao Yingjia was very optimistic about Feng Ziying and recommended him to study at Qingtan Academy , and only then will it be as dazzling as it is today,..."

  Wang Wenyan was dumbfounded. He really didn't know that Feng Ziying had such a complicated relationship with his own Dong Weng.

  He has been following Lin Ruhai for four years, and Lin Ruhai can be regarded as confiding in his heart to him, and is very close to each other. Basically, he has nothing to hide from him, but he has never talked about it.

  Seeing that Wang Wenyan was a little suspicious, Lin Ruhai also smiled slightly, "This matter is related to Yucun, and there is nothing worth talking about in itself, so I didn't say anything to others."

  Wang Wenyan came to his senses.

  Jia Yucun, as the magistrate of Jinling Prefecture, is also a member of the fourth rank. If it is rumored that he once worked as a teacher in Linfu, I am afraid that there will be a rift.

  Of course, ordinary-minded people don’t necessarily care about this. Which hero doesn’t have a down time? The saying that heroes don't ask where they come from is also a good saying.

  Just being passed on by others and passing it on from the Lin family are two different things. If Jia Yucun is narrow-minded, he may not think that his own Dong Weng will use such things to deliberately promote his own status.

"Dong Weng is determined and upright, as it should be." Wang Wenyan nodded, he also admired his own Dong Weng's kindness, while observing Lin Ruhai's expression, "However, as Dong Weng said, Feng Ziying and Miss have such a chance encounter, It's fate, I don't know..."
