Chapter 80 God's Will is Unpredictable
If it were on ancient earth, Lan Chongwen was still one of Ye Qing's masters and staff, but there was no such rule in this world.
The reason is very simple. There was no such strict operation in ancient times. There was great authority in the hands of examiners. They could often be dismissed or promoted in just one thought. This is a recreation.
In this world, all parties supervise, and have standards for luck and talent. The authority to admit examiners is very small, and everything is done in public. There is no such thing as the so-called recreation.
However, I still have to express my gratitude. Ye Qing just gave a gift and prepared 100 taels of silver.
This is what it means, Lan Chongwen accepted it with a smile, but Ye Qing's future is immeasurable. Lan Chongwen dared not really put on airs and immediately ordered his servant to set up a banquet for a banquet.
Ye Qing was talking about reporting the case to the state examination, and Lan Chongwen smiled and said, "This is the preface of the law. When you come, just tell me... But it is not easy to pass the imperial examination. What articles does the scholar have recently?"
Ye Qing was ready, so he took out a volume and said, "These are three articles I have written recently. Please give me some advice."
These are not plagiarism, but were made by himself. After seven years of practice in his dream, he integrated all his articles and consciously made great progress in his literary career.
There is only a little gap, and it is difficult to be truly promoted, but this is not a problem with the literature, but a problem with one's own Taoist career. You cannot force it.
Lan Chongwen smiled and took the Ye Qing paper. After taking a look, he saw that the words were dignified and beautiful, round and restrained, and his expression turned into dumb look. He sighed: "Your writing has improved again."
As he said that, he looked over carefully.
I saw that these are only three articles, but every word is jade, and the writing is refined, and it has almost reached the point where it cannot be added or deleted. The content is pure and secret, and the text is harmonious.
But it really has a feeling of Zhuang Rong and elegant.
After reading such words, Lan Chongwen didn't even have time to eat the dishes. He just put the wine in the words one cup after another. In the blink of an eye, he went down three cups. After reading them repeatedly several times, he sighed in his heart.
The Three Classics and Five Classics were written by Taoist Lord. What he thought about is not only the way to govern the country, but also the whole world. But even if these classics are clearly published in the world, how many people can read them?
How much can a scholar know when he turns a blind eye to the things outside the window and is dedicated to reading the books of sages?
It can be said that the boy only requires a basic and familiar chant. The scholar must fully understand the superficial meaning of the classics. The juren must be able to understand the principles and make one's own interpretations. The Jinshi must lay the foundation for the Tao.
If you can absorb the principles of the Three Classics and Five Classics, and you can justify your own opinions, your literary spirit will be able to penetrate the blue. If you can not only make up for your own opinions, but also put them into practice in reality, you will definitely be perfect.
This requires extraordinary tools and profound knowledge. To achieve this, scholars must not be talented and talented, so now they are all supplemented by luck and make them see the green light. Those who truly rely on truth and literary spirit alone will arrive. To be honest, they are all talented people that Taoist courts must welcome.
But now these three articles can at least reach the point of justification.
Lan Chongwen repeatedly looked through these three papers, and sighed for a long time: "I am really the same as the talent of a Jinshi!"
Ye Qing was appointed as a Jinshi by Longjun. To be honest, Lan Chongwen was a little dissatisfied just now, but now he read the article, and there was no doubt about it.
"This boy is only sixteen years old and has such talent. I think he has the same talent as a Jinshi."
"Wait for a few more years, and after you have mastered this, you are afraid that you can be a true Jinshi on the second list and you can live forever, but in this way, the court will lose one talent!"
"But I was about to send a message to Kyoto, and I helped this son to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi."
"No matter how talented this boy is, he is too young, and he cannot win the real Jinshi in this term. If he wins the same Jinshi, he can stay in the court and add a pillar and foundation to the court."
"And, it can also increase the power of my sect!"
Thinking of this, Lan Chongwen became more enthusiastic, but he didn't return the paper immediately. He raised his glass and said, "I want to read your article carefully, can I stay here?"
No matter how much Ye Qing was, he could not guess this thought. He smiled and said, "Sir, do you dare not obey?"
At that moment, the banquet was over, and after an hour, he stepped out.
As soon as Ye Qing retreated, Lan Chongwen, who was originally drunk, immediately jumped up, but he was not drunk at all. He hurried to the secret room and took a jade plaque with blue marks on it. This was used for emergency communication and was very precious. There were only three jade plaques a year.
But at this time, it was not a pity that Ye Qing wrote down his past carefully and gathered the three volumes together. Just clicked it with your hand and saw that the jade plaque turned into a blue bird, flew out with the letter in his mouth, and disappeared into the air in a blink of an eye.
Tong Mansion
At this time, the night was brightly lit, the guards were tight, and there were constant noises of discussions inside.
"What are these piles of things... Summer harvest is coming soon, and the regulations on the collection and tax collection of grain have not been reported yet?"
"Report to the Grand Secretary, these two copies are just received, and the details are being delivered quickly.
"Well... Chengzhou please exempt the fishermen from taxes for one year. How much does it cost to cross the typhoon this time? Why is it vague? Huang Zishi was confused by drinking and drinking? He only knew to ask for relief! Let him give it to me... No, you send a person to investigate and report it in person!"
"Yes, the official will go and handle it now!"
"Squeak" a ray of light leaked out from the door, and a middle-aged official with a yellow robe and crown was running out. He almost ran into two maids in front of him. He glared at him and was about to scold him. When Dingshen saw them holding plates, he was sent by a secret message, so he had to admit that he was unlucky and helped him, and ran away in a small step.
The two maids were shocked and secretly looked at the busy Wenshan and Wenhai behind the door. The middle-aged man in the blue and purple official uniform who was training people at the bottom did not dare to go in. After a while, a middle-aged man came in: "What's the matter with you here? You're going to kill him by spying on the secrets, do you know?"
As he said that, he saw them holding plates and couldn't help but smile: "I almost forgot that this is the case. I will do it. You guys go back!"
"Thank you, Lord Mansion Master!... The maid responded in a low voice, turned around and ran away.
The official held the silver plate in his hand and was not convenient to go in immediately, so he only followed the inside at the door.
"...Agriculture did this beforehand. The Ministry of War gathered up to repair and rectify the border villages to prevent the small Northern Wei tribes from going south to fight the autumn wind. This requires careful planning and I will present it to the cabinet."
After the political affairs, the atmosphere finally changed. After a while of discussion, the discussion was settled, and the officials said goodbye and said goodbye, leaving only Grand Secretary Tong to fall into deep thought.
At this time, the minister of the mansion came over with a plate and greeted him: "Madam, seeing that the master is still in office, he made rock sugar bird's nest and tremella soup. He was afraid that it would be cold, so he didn't deliver it immediately. You can wait for a while - this is a secret letter sent by someone just now, the blue bird message came from Nancang County."
Grand Secretary Tong woke up from his thoughts and smiled bitterly: "I have no choice..."
Since the development of Da Cai has been in the cabinet system, except for the Prime Minister, everyone has all added the title of Grand Secretary. This is the position of blue and purple, but it is actually the deputy prime minister.
The Grand Secretary and the Second-rank official almost reached the peak of a minister. The Grand Secretary and the Grand Secretary and the Grand Secretary are civil servants of the eighth rank. They were recommended by the cronies and stewards to the court. They all prosper and all lose, because many private words can be said.
Grand Secretary Tong stood up, received the letter, and smiled: "Lan Chongwen? This person knew that he was only eighth-rank, and he was always cautious. Why did he use the Blue Bird to send a message?"
Grand Secretary Tong was called Tong Shan, and at this time he pulled out the letter. At the beginning, he accidentally started and just smiled: "Why do you think that even the little scholar is like a big deal..."
Having said that, I was taking out the paper, but when I looked, I didn't say anything for a moment. Duanrong looked at it, and read it again, and then returned to look at the Ye Qing file on the letter carefully.
Then he put down the letter, walked slowly for a few steps, and suddenly sighed: "There are so many heroes in the world!"
Tong Shan seemed to have a little conflicted mood. He sighed and suddenly said coldly: "You go and investigate this person named Ye Qing, both inside and outside, and outside."
"Yes, the official will go and do it immediately!"
"It will take a few weeks to go to the office immediately. I won't allow it this time. Tell them to prepare their luggage immediately," Tong Shan said, "You only know about this. You can read the letter first."
"Yes!" The Minister of the Mansion did not say anything, took the letter and looked at it. After reading it, he was a little surprised: "Master, this guy is a bit extraordinary, but there is no need to be so grand!"
Tong Shan smiled and said, "You have been with me for twenty years and have a lot of knowledge, but you still don't understand this."
As he said that, he stood up and walked slowly, and said sneeringly, "You can't know about this. As long as you know that it's not normal recently, you can pay 5,000 taels of silver in the mansion... No, I will give it to you now, don't make any payment in the mansion, so as not to reveal your travels.
As he said that, he pulled out a silver note from his boot on his left and said, "This is five thousand taels of silver. You can take it, but if you have a word, your errand must be done beautifully."
"Yes!" The Minister of the Mansion said nothing and continued to respond.
When Tong Shan saw him retreating, he was exhausted, but he didn't want to rest at this time. He took the tea and drank it several times. At this time, a dull thunder sounded, and then rubbed his eyes and sat up. He saw a flash of lightning that made the inside and outside the room white, and a little bamboo bushes were blown in the wind...
Another sudden thunder exploded, shaking the house, making Tong Shan tremble all over!
I left the room and a gust of wind blew in my face. With the rain, a deacon hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Master, it's strong wind and rain now, don't catch a cold!"
"Well, it doesn't matter, I'm just taking a walk!" Tong Shan waved his hand, said, and continued to think.
"Dragon energy is mutated, who dares to neglect the cabinet? At this time of evolution, there will be confusion between fish and dragons. At this time, Ye Qing, or one of them?"
"But the court originally supervised it, and it seems that the Yu family is suspected of this?"
"No matter what, it is always a good thing to include in supervision early, or it may also add strength to the Sixth Prince!"
This world is not a world where everyone is equal. Personal power can often influence the general trend. Now Ye Qing is just a scholar, but in time, he might be able to shake the general trend!
This is hundreds of thousands of years of experience. Now, as long as you are an important official, you are clear about it. How dare you neglect it?
Thinking of this, Tong Shan looked up at the sky, thunder rolling, lightning flashed by, but his heart was thinking, and it only turned into a sigh: "God's will is unpredictable!"
