The official road of the farmer

Even though she was away for a while, Nan Ahma still managed the house in an orderly manner, not at all as deserted as the master's family left for half a year.

It was May when I left Shanghai, and it was early October when I returned to Beijing.

The moment Li Yu entered the city gate, he bid farewell to Ye Junshu and went to the inner city by himself.Go without hesitation.

Before it was too late, Ye Junshu returned to the mansion and fell into a new round of busyness.

Ye Junshu was busy looking for academies and teachers for the children below.

The Guozijian in Beijing is the Royal Academy, but ordinary people cannot enter this academy, and only those who have strong connections in Beijing can have this admission quota.

Apart from his relationship with senior brother Fang, Ye Junshu didn't know any high-ranking officials.

But Senior Brother Yifang's ability is not enough to help him get a place for admission.

If you go to other private schools, that's okay, but there are also ordinary and excellent colleges, and Guozijian is at the elite level.

Being able to study there, the overall quality must be more than a little bit higher.

No matter how poor you are, you can't have poor education. From this level, Ye Junshu finally understood why some parents would do everything possible to send their children to so-called key schools.

My own child always wants him to be better.

Ye Junshu wanted to send Ye Junwei to the Guozijian to study, if it really didn't work, he had no choice but to retreat.

Instead, Ye Junshan's college could solve it better.

There is also a martial arts academy in Shangjing. Although it is not as important as the Guozijian, it is also the most famous martial arts academy. This one is easier to get into. Ye Junshu used his own identity to make a face, and if he paid enough for Shuxiu, he could send his child to it.

He carefully selected a martial arts academy with a good reputation, and was about to enroll Ye Junshan and Nan Chenghe, planning to settle the fate of these two people first.

They suddenly ran over and yelled that they didn't want to go to the academy.

Ye Junshu immediately put on a straight face, "Why?"

Ye Junshan shrank his neck. He was afraid that his elder brother would be angry, but he still mustered up the courage to speak out his thoughts, "Brother, we want to join the army."

With a sullen face, Ye Junshu signaled him to continue, Ye Junshan said, "Uncle Liao said that we have great potential to serve as soldiers. If we want to, we can directly join the mighty army."

When Ye Junshan said this, his eyes lit up, and he was obviously moved. Who in the whole of Daxia didn't know the name of the mighty army. It can be said that the mighty army is their patron saint of Daxia.

Moreover, the Mighty Army is a sacred place that no one who wants to be a soldier can squeeze in.They have this opportunity to go in directly, so they are naturally moved.

"We can't learn much in the academy, but it's different in the army. Brother, we are not too young. We want to go to the army!" Ye Junshan said excitedly.

Ye Junshu did not veto their ideas.

He considers himself an open-minded parent who naturally respects the opinions of his children.They wanted to join the army, and Ye Junshu would not feel that there would be any danger and would not let the children go, although he did have concerns about this.

He is also a man, and every man has an ambition to make a name for himself. Xiaoshan and the others know what they want to do, which is good.

He looked at the two of them and asked, "Is this the choice you made after careful consideration? Are you sure it won't change?"

Ye Junshan and Nan Chenghe nodded firmly.

Ye Junshu didn't feel happy or angry, "I see."

The elder brother didn't directly veto it, but the implication was that he agreed!Ye Junshan's eyes lit up, "Thank you, brother!"

"Thank you, young master!"

Ye Junshu glanced at them, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Life in the army is very hard. If I have the idea of ​​retreating in the future, I will not agree. I will continue to stay even if I cry."

"Got it, big brother!"

Ye Junshu waved his hand and told them to leave.

He frowned, he didn't expect that Lieutenant Liao would abduct his younger brother in such a short time together, and he was still under his nose, but he didn't even notice.

But after thinking about it, Xiao Shan was interested in boxing and foot martial arts. It was okay to go to the martial arts academy when he was a child. When he is older, he always has something to do.

Going to the army may not be a way out.

Moreover, the mighty army is in charge of the Li family, and Ye Jun has a good letter, so he has nothing to worry about.

There has been no war recently, so Xiaoshan and the others went in for training.

What's more, they are still young, even if there is a war, it will not be their turn to go to the battlefield. Thinking about it this way, there is nothing to worry about.

Ye Junshu squinted his eyes and thought, Deputy Lieutenant Liao escorted them all the way back to their hometown, devoted himself to his duties, and sent them to their doorsteps before going on business.There is hard work without credit, so why not invite the other party to come to your house as a guest, and he will thank you very much.

Thinking of this, he went to write a post, asking Ye Dayong to send him to the Liao Mansion, and asked him to come to the mansion for a drink the night after tomorrow.

But before he could wait for Lieutenant Liao, someone came to visit the next day, and it was still passed on to Wan Xiuhe.

Although Ye Junshu hasn't been in Beijing for almost half a year, he still knows some news.

After the imperial examination, the top ten Jinshi of the second class passed the entrance examination without exception, and were selected into the Imperial Academy as Shujishi.

Shu Jishi has no rank, and he must pass the examination in three years before he can truly become a Hanlin official.But they were able to enter the Imperial Academy, and they had already been studying in the Imperial Academy for a period of time.Although they knew each other, Ye Junshu never expected that Wan Xiuhe would be the first to visit him when he returned to the capital.

"Take the liberty to come to visit, I hope Master Ye will not mind."

Wan Xiuhe bowed his hands and apologized, but his attitude was intimate.

Ye Junshu kept his composure and said with a smile on his face, "Why? It's too late to welcome you. I just returned to the capital, and I was about to visit you after a rest. I didn't expect Master Wan to come later." The news is well-informed, hehe.

Mrs. Ye Chen brought tea and snacks, blessed her body, and withdrew.

Ye Junshu personally poured tea for Wan Xiuhe and made a gesture of invitation.

Wan Xiuhe smiled, and picked up the teacup, "It just so happens that I was chatting with my friends in the teahouse, and I happened to see your team come back. I thought I hadn't seen you for a long time, so I came here to disturb you."

Ye Junshu also laughed, "That's really a coincidence, Master Wan can visit the humble house in person, I'm really flattered!"

"Master Ye was joking." Wan Xiu said conciliatively, "Let's not come here, my lord. I'm a little older than you, so I ask you to call you Brother Ye, how about it?"

Ye Junshu readily agreed, "Then I'll call you Brother Wan."

After chatting here and there for a while, Ye Junshu focused on the gossip about Beijing, and Wan Xiuhe seemed to have told them all without any hesitation.

Wan Xiuhe smiled and said, "I didn't expect Lieutenant Liao to personally escort you back to your hometown. It's really surprising."

Ye Junshu's smile faded, and he frowned subconsciously, but he still smiled, "Yeah, I didn't expect it either. At first I thought they were the guard of honor arranged by the Ministry of Rituals, but I didn't expect... But it's okay, they are still dedicated. Nothing wrong."

Wan Xiuhe seemed to feel the same way, "It's good that Brother Ye is used to it. Their military officers are like this. They don't care about etiquette and rules. I think they have caused you a lot of trouble, Brother Ye?"

"It's nothing, but I didn't expect that my brother would be abducted in such a short time to join some mighty army, a place like a battlefield, where people would die casually, can anyone go?" Ye Junshu thought This is obviously very unpleasant.

"Oh?" Wan Xiuhe comforted, "The child is still young, it's normal to be blinded for a while, just teach it slowly."

"I hope so." Ye Junshu forced a smile.

"If Brother Ye doesn't mind, Brother Wei can help me." Wan Xiuhe said with a smile.

"Don't bother Brother Wan for the time being. I've posted a post to invite Deputy Lieutenant Liao to come over to talk to him, and ask him to dispel my younger brother's thoughts in person. If it doesn't work, then think of other ways." Ye Junshu was grateful for Wan Xiuhe's help, but Don't want to bother people.

"In this way, if you need it, you can ask me for help."

"Of course I won't be polite to Brother Wan." Ye Junshu didn't want to say more, "Forget it, let's not talk about these disappointing things, I haven't congratulated Brother Wan for being admitted to the Shuji, congratulations!"

Wan Xiuhe responded with a smile, "Thank you."

"Brother Wan has already entered the Imperial Academy to study. I don't know what the Imperial Academy is like. My brother, I really don't know what to do. You adults should be easy to get along with, right?"

"That's natural. Although Jiang Geshi's temper is a bit weird, he always doesn't care about things. On the contrary, Mr. Ming is more in charge. Mr. Ming is generous and modest, and he is a very easy-to-get-on boss. When you and Mr. Yu enter the Imperial Academy, and Master Ming spends more time dealing with each other, so don't worry about not getting along."

Ye Junshu nodded, with a resigned expression, "I know what to do."

"Master Ming is also a gentleman in the Imperial Academy. You are worthy of being the son of Prime Minister Ming. He really has a style and is a model for our literati!" Ye Junshu praised sincerely, with a certain admiration in his tone.

"The world praises Mingxiang as the No. 1 literati. It may be a bit exaggerated, but Mingxiang's demeanor is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people." Wan Xiuhe praised with a smile, and then changed the topic, " But Brother Ye did not hesitate to give up. Who would not envy the literati in the world to win Gui Tanhualang in the Toad Palace before reaching the weak crown?"

Ye Junshu was overjoyed by the praise, but he still kept his expression reserved, "Brother Wan has a great reputation. How can I compare with Master Ming? Isn't this a shame for me?"

"Brother Ye is humble."

"Where is it, brother Wan is the one who has both ability and political integrity..."

The two praised each other modestly, and the atmosphere between the two became more harmonious for a while.

Wan Xiuhe stayed at Ye's house for half the morning before leaving.

Ye Junshu sent him off and went back to the study, thoughtful, but didn't realize that this Wan Xiuhe was from Mingxiang's side, did he come to win him over?

They seemed to be chatting enthusiastically, but when they spoke, they were testing each other.

Sow discord without any trace, trying to make him lean towards the Ming family.

It seems that even though things are still calm on the surface, factional disputes in private are showing signs of early.

In other words, the sons of His Majesty are only the eldest princes who have grown up, and they have faintly regarded themselves as the crown princes. After a few years, when the younger brothers grow up, the struggle may become more intense.

Ye Junshu is not optimistic about the First Prince.

Emperor Tai'an was in his prime, and he would never allow anyone to covet his throne, even if that person was his own son.

Being older may be beneficial, but more often than not, it is disadvantageous.

Maybe he wanted to wait and see at first, but seeing that he seemed to be close to the people of the Li family faction, he couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly asked Wan Xiuhe to come and talk to him.

Ever since he was named on the gold list, Ye Junshu has become a little presumptuous, and he no longer conceals his relationship with Li Yu in words and deeds.

What he did in the countryside probably caught the attention of some people.

Ye Junshu weighed his own value.

After many comparisons, he found that he was indeed a very good target for wooing, and he must be on the other party's key observation list worthy of wooing.

Yu Maolin's background is too complicated, even if he seems to have a better future than him, it's not easy to win him over.

But he is different. His simple family background proves that he has no backer and hasn't joined any faction.

Although he studied under Zuo Xianzhi, he did not serve as an official in the court, and his influence in the court was limited. His fellow senior brother, Mr. Fang, was a solidly neutral faction, even faintly regarded as a royalist.

If Ye Junshu can be drawn into the Ming family, it will undoubtedly make them even more powerful.

As for those who have a close relationship with Ye Junshu, as long as they don't completely sever their relationship, as long as their feelings don't change, they will more or less lean towards the Ming family because of his relationship.

The Ming family had a good idea.

Ye Junshu's lips curled into a smile, which was really funny.
