Facing the elder, Shen Yi behaved very respectfully.
Although Zhao Shilang is not in the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of Personnel, he can neither lead the subsequent scientific examinations nor fill a good vacancy for him, but as an "old senior" and a friend of his teacher, once Shen Yi becomes an official, this Zhao The minister will be his strongest leg in the court.
You know, His Majesty the Emperor has begun to take charge of the government this year, and has been taking charge of it for half a year.
According to estimates, Prime Minister Yang, who has been in charge of the Council for many years, will retire from the Council as soon as this year, or next year at the latest, retire and return to his hometown to live in his old age.
Once the Prime Minister of the Council of Ministers is replaced, most likely not just one person will be replaced. There are currently five Prime Ministers of the Council of Ministers. If nothing unexpected happens, at least two or even three Prime Ministers will step down in the next two years.
Maybe at some point, this Minister Zhao will become the prime minister.
Once Zhao Changping becomes prime minister, he will become the second prime minister born in Ganquan Academy in the past sixty years of Nandu. By then, Ganquan Academy's power in the court will also expand a lot.
After Shen Yi sat down, Zhao Shilang looked at Shen Yi carefully for a few times, and then asked: "As far as I know, after Jizhong returned to Jiangdu, he concentrated on studying and never accepted any more students. It's rare that he accepted you again in Jiangdu." Such a student."
Speaking of this, Zhao Shilang said with emotion: "You, a student, are also very proud of him. Only three months after arriving in Jiankang, two poems caused a sensation in Jiankang City and even reached Tianting. "
"It's amazing."
Zhao Shilang said calmly: "When Jizhong and I were at your age, we were still studying in Jiangdu, and our achievements were far behind what you are now."
Shen Yi looked respectful, lowered his head slightly and said: "Uncle, you are so complimentary. To be honest, I have never wanted to be famous, and these two poems have never been intended to be spread. It was only because of accidents that they spread throughout the country." Kang.”
Generally speaking, when others say that you are good at writing poetry, you should be humble and say that it is a humble work, but Shen Yi cannot be so humble.
Because whether it is Qin Huai's speechless talk about the setting sun from Peach Blossom Fan or Jie Fugong's Spring Breeze and Green River South Bank, they were not written by him...
"It's not like planting willows to create shade."
Zhao Shilang looked at Shen Yi and smiled: "If it is an ordinary romantic poem, I wouldn't care too much whether it is famous or not, but I have read both of your poems and they are very good."
He looked at Shen Yi and said meaningfully, "It's very useful."
Shen Yi was thoughtful and seemed to understand what Zhao Shilang meant, but he did not speak and just lowered his head slightly.
This is not the time to be clever.
Zhao Shilang looked at Shen Yi, who had a respectful expression, and nodded with some satisfaction: "You have a good temper, too."
After saying this, Zhao Changping glanced at Zhang Jian, who was smiling beside him, and said in a low voice: "Your senior brother Zhang is too fickle. I have told him many times, but he still refuses to change. His temper is too frivolous and not good enough." Calmly, now that Prime Minister Zhang is in court, and I am in court, no one can do anything to him. One day, none of us will be in the court anymore, and sooner or later he will be taken advantage of."
Zhang Jian was originally smiling, but after hearing these words, his smile suddenly dropped. He looked at Zhao Changping and said helplessly: "Teacher, I usually like to joke, why am I not calm?"
"If you are calm enough, you should be your parents' official in Jiangdu. You went to Jiangdu by yourself. You have only been in Jiangdu for a few months, and you lost your temper and secretly returned to Jiankang. If you are an ordinary person, Family background, just this once, the officials will remember it, and in the future you will never be promoted unless you stay in the position of county magistrate for more than ten years!"
Zhang Jian grimaced, lowered her head to Zhao Changping and said, "Teacher, I explained to you that my grandmother was sick and wanted to see me every day. My mother had no choice, so she wrote me a letter asking me to come back..."
Zhao Changping glanced at Zhang Jian and said indifferently: "Has Prime Minister Zhang written to you? Has your father written to you?"
His words made Zhang Jian freeze on the spot and didn't speak for a long time.
Zhao Changping looked calm: "Your Majesty is in charge, and it won't be long before the imperial court will update its personnel. This is the time to hire people. Maybe by now all the files on officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs have been sent to Deqing Hall for your Majesty to look through. , what would he think if he saw this page of yours?"
"Do you think you can rely on me?"
Zhang Jian was silent. After a long time, he bowed deeply to his teacher, lowered his head and said, "Teacher, I have a good marriage, and my disciple has learned from it."
"That's all, you are from a prime minister's background and don't understand the hard work of climbing the officialdom. As a teacher, I won't be too harsh on you."
Zhao Changping said slowly: "In life, you will inevitably have to make some choices. As for whether to stay in Jiankang to accompany the old lady or return to Jiangdu, you can go back and think about it yourself, or you can discuss it with Prime Minister Zhang."
Zhang Jian bowed his head respectfully: "Disciple understands."
After dealing with Zhang Jian's matter, Zhao Changping looked at Shen Yi again.
"Shen Yi."
Shen Yi quickly lowered his head and said, "The students are here."
"Since you did well in the college examination, you don't have to go back to Jiangdu to study this year. You can stay in the capital and continue to take the provincial examination. If you pass the provincial examination this year, I can recommend you to study at the Imperial Academy, or find you a job in Jiankang. Teacher, you... have to take the scientific examination well."
Zhao Shilang's face became serious: "Your two poems can be heard in heaven, which shows that they are in line with His Majesty's wishes. This is a great opportunity for you, but this opportunity can only be fully grasped if you go well in the examination and become a Jinshi. , can you understand?"
Generally speaking, after being selected as a scholar, you have to go to the local county school to report for admission. However, this year is the year of the township examination. After the Academic Affairs Office has admitted Shen Yi to school and issued his identity, Shen Yi does not have to rush back to Jiangdu. , you can directly stay in Jiankang and take the township examination.
Besides, the real Magistrate of Jiangdu County is in front of Shen Yi right now, so even if there are any mistakes in the process, there will be no problem.
Shen Yi bowed his head respectfully: "Student understands."
"Um."
Zhao Changping stood up from his chair, turned around and rummaged around on his bookshelf for a while, and then found an ancient book with five words written on it.
"Zhou Wen Ding Gong Ji"
Zhou is the surname, and Wen Ding is the posthumous title given by the court.
Zhao Shilang walked up to Shen Yi, handed the book to Shen Yi's hand, and said in a deep voice: "This is the collected works of our senior from Ganquan Academy, Wen Dinggong. Wen Dinggong was also the first person from Ganquan Academy since the southern crossing. I am a prime minister. This collection of articles is profound and profound. I will give it to you today. Take it back and read it at your leisure. It will be of great benefit to your knowledge."
Shen Yi had also heard about the deeds of Duke Wen Ding of Zhou. He immediately took it with both hands, bowed his head and said, "Thank you, uncle, for the book."
Zhao Shilang nodded and said, "Okay, you go out and wait. Your senior brother and I still have some small talk to say."
Shen Yi nodded and slowly exited Zhao Shilang's study.
After he left, Zhao Changping walked back to his seat and sat down. Then he looked at Zhang Jian and said slowly: "Shen Yi's poems have won the Holy Heart. He is about the same age as His Majesty. Once he enters the court, he might be Decades ahead.”
"The Point Guard Is Here"
Zhang Jian stood beside Zhao Shilang with his hands down, glanced at his teacher cautiously, and asked, "The teacher also thinks highly of him?"
"We'll have to wait and see after he wins the Jinshi."
Zhao Shilang focused his attention on his desk again, and he said calmly: "The teacher is getting older. The next generation of the academy needs someone who can take charge."
