This is no longer a hint, but an explicit statement.
The reason why I didn't say it directly but wrote it on the table with tea was because matters related to scientific examinations are relatively sensitive. If someone knew about it, especially those who were studying, it might cause some trouble.
The left minister of the Ministry of Rites...
After Shen Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, he thought of this person's name.
Wu Kan and Wu Qiongli.
Because Shen Yi poured tea on Princess Izumo, His Majesty the Emperor took advantage of the situation and got angry in the court. He dismissed a prime minister of Zhongshu Province and two ministers of the Ministry of Rites. And this minister Wu took advantage of it at that time. He was transferred from Yushitai to the Ministry of Rites and became the left minister of the Ministry of Rites.
It was through Shen Yi or the emperor's light that he was promoted.
And this kind of promotion is definitely not without reason.
Thinking about it with your buttocks, you can imagine that Wu Shilang must have been to the palace and expressed his loyalty to the emperor before he was promoted.
It can even be speculated that the reason why the young emperor was so angry and dismissed two officials in the Ministry of Rites in one breath was to promote Wu Kan, one of his own.
And now, Wu Shilang is presiding over the examination, and soon "the world will be full of peaches and plums". This may not be the arrangement of the little emperor.
It is almost certain that this Minister Wu must be one of the little emperor's own.
However, Shen Yi didn't think that Wu Shilang would "let loose" on him.
Because if the examiner of the National Examination would let himself go, then there was actually no need for Sun Jin to come here to "mark the key points" for himself today. He would just be admitted directly to the National Examination.
Moreover... this kind of focusing is certainly useful for Shen Yi, but it is not particularly useful.
Because usually after the Chinese New Year, the candidates for the Spring Examination will be announced.
After all the calculations, there are only two months between now and next year's Lantern Festival. At best, Shen Yi has two months more preparation time than others, and he doesn't have to wait until next spring to compete with those masters in bookstores. "Review materials" about Wu Shilang.
By then, Wu Shilang's collection of essays, even poems, and even Wu Shilang's information will have greatly increased. Therefore, Shen Yi, who knew about this in advance, can save a small amount of money.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi's eyes changed.
I don't know if it was a habit he developed from doing business in his previous life. After receiving these messages in advance, Shen Yi naturally thought of a business to make quick money.
That is to take advantage of these two months to carve a withered version of Wu Shilang's collected works. After the candidates for next year's general examination are announced, they can make a lot of money from Wu Shilang's masterpieces.
But after thinking about it, Shen Yi gave up the idea.
Because this approach is too businesslike.
Scientific research is the most important and sensitive topic in this era. If people find out that Shen Yi went to print Wu Kan's collected works several months in advance, even if it can be explained that he "hit the mark" by chance, he might be punished. Pointing fingers behind his back, and the emperor is involved behind this matter.
The emperor gave Shen Yi "key points" not to make you Shen Yi make money, but to let Shen Yi take the exam.
After Shen Yi thought for a while, he thought to himself.
"I must change my businessman habits in the future. I need to have a bigger picture and raise my sights from the shopping mall to the court..."
Shen Yi had a lot of mental activities in his heart, but in fact it only took a few breaths. He silently stretched out his hand, wiped out the tea writing on the table, looked at Sun Jin, and said silently: "Thank you, Eunuch Sun, Shen already understands it." That’s what I meant.”
After a pause, Mr. Shen asked, "Is this the calligraphy your Majesty asked your father-in-law to write, or was it the calligraphy that Eunuch Gao asked your father-in-law to write?"
"It's Eunuch Gao."
Sun Jin lowered his eyebrows slightly and said in a low voice: "But it doesn't make much difference whether it's your Majesty or Eunuch Gao who is doing this."
Indeed, when it comes to Chunwei matters, not to mention a clever one, even the prime ministers of Zhongshu Province cannot take the initiative now. No matter who asked Sun Jin to write these words, it was the little one behind them. The meaning of the emperor.
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "Then I can trouble you to thank the emperor for Shen after your father-in-law returns to Jiankang. Also, when my father-in-law sees Eunuch Gao or His Majesty, he will pass on the report to Shen and say that Shen will definitely do it next year. Going to Jiankang to participate in the Spring Festival will definitely live up to His Majesty’s high expectations..."
"yes."
Eunuch Sun smiled. He looked at Chun Wei and couldn't help but sigh: "Master Shen is so young and can let His Majesty take care of him personally. He will definitely have a bright future in the future."
"My father-in-law is joking."
Shen Yi shook his head and said: "Even if you win the Jinshi next year and enter the imperial court, you will only be an eighth-grade minor official at most. If you say you have a bright future, my father-in-law, you still have a bright future."
Sun Jin is usually a bit serious, but he has a very good impression of Shen Yi, and now he has a smile on his face.
"If you become a Jinshi and enter the Hanlin Academy, you will be the prime minister of the imperial court. In the future, Mr. Shen will be in charge of the central government. It is also uncertain."
He stood up and bowed deeply to Shen Yi.
"This slave congratulates Master Shen for being named on the gold list of Chunwei High School!"
"My father-in-law has auspicious words."
Shen Yi returned the gift with his hand and said with a smile: "When we arrive in Jiankang next year, if my father-in-law is free, we will definitely find a place to have a good drink."
Sun Jin shook his head slightly and sighed: "The foreign ministers have always looked down on us and other palace people. Even if Master Shen does not have such thoughts, if those scholars see it, he will still say something against you, Master Shen, behind his back."
"Master Shen thinks highly of me, and I already feel grateful for you. As for eating and drinking..."
Eunuch Sun smiled very seriously: "Let's talk about it if we have fate in the future."
He bowed to Shen Yi and said goodbye: "Master Shen, my errand is over, and I'm going back to the palace. If you have anything else to say, or if you have anything to send to Jiankang, I can bring it to you."
"There's nothing else."
Shen Yi took a serious look at the young eunuch in front of him and said sincerely: "Shen has never looked down on anyone. If you want to get ahead in the palace, it will only be more difficult than outside. Eunuch Sun is already very remarkable." ”
Shen Yi's words are not flattering, because if you want to stand out among tens of thousands of palace people and climb to a high position, you will definitely not be able to do it through qualifications.
A person like Sun Jin must have something special about him.
Shen Yi patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "You don't want to be a master anymore. If you respect me, just call me Shen Qi."
"Don't dare."
Sun Jin still lowered his head somewhat respectfully, but he still looked up at Shen Yi and changed his title.
"Mr. Shen, see you in Jiankang if we have the chance."
After saying this, he turned and left. Shen Yi personally delivered him to the door of his house. After seeing him get on his horse cleanly, Shen Yi waved to him and said with a smile: "Have a good trip, father-in-law."
Sun Jin sat on the horse, looked back at Shen Yi, nodded silently, and rode away.
After Sun Jin walked away, two maids walked out of the yard and stood next to Shen Yi. One of the maids, Ping'er, looked at Shen Yi and blinked.
"Young Master, aren't you going to the academy? Are you still going?"
Shen Yi glanced at her, then stepped out: "Go, why not go?"
After Shen Yi walked away, Ping'er turned to look at Qing'er and hummed: "I've been there several times, but I haven't seen anyone take care of our young master once."
Qing'er glared at her.
"What does talkativeness have to do with you?"
