...
Outside the south wall of the Ministry of Rites, more and more young talents gathered.
The young talents who had seen the scope of the Chunwei test questions did not leave immediately. Now there are many students outside the south wall of the Ministry of Rites, which is a good place to make friends.
Zhao Wujiang's eyes were smiling, and he gently glanced at the young talents, sighing in his heart.
"Master Zhao, you are actually similar in age to these students, but you entered the court early and did not have the opportunity to participate in the Spring Festival to show your talents..."
Lin Ruhai, the Minister of Personnel, looked at these energetic students and recalled the difficulties he had when he first entered the official career.
After failing twice, he only got on the list for the third time. It took a lot of money and a lot of connections to get into the Sixth Department of Shangshu. Then he climbed up step by step and climbed to the current position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel. He has strong authority.
Zhao Wujiang smiled:
"If I pass the imperial examination and become an official, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
I know nothing about Confucian classics or Taoist scholarship..."
Lin Ruhai felt the noise of discussions among the students around him and nodded to the greeters from time to time. He just thought that Zhao Wujiang was being humble, so he shook his head and smiled:
"Mr. Zhao, have you heard the familiar saying that you will die in the morning and die in the evening? Have you heard of it?"
"I've heard of this before..." Zhao Wujiang raised his eyebrows slightly and joked:
"If I find out the way to your house in the morning, I will beat you to death at night...
I still understand this. "
Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, then saw Zhao Wujiang's expression and knew that he was joking at her. He didn't have the slightest grudge, but laughed heartily.
He and Zhao Wujiang had a feud, and Zhao Wujiang once contradicted and even slightly humiliated him at the court level. However, he had been an official for many years and knew that there were no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
Now that the atmosphere between him and Zhao Wujiang can be relaxed, it is natural and his intention. In his opinion, this is the basis for more cooperation between the two in the future.
"Uncle Lin, it's rare to be so happy today. My nephew has the courage to ask you for a poem to encourage us. I hope your uncle will do it."
There were respectful voices among the students. Lin Ruhai looked sideways and found that he was the heir of an old friend, named Chen Shuwen. He was also one of the candidates who would take part in the Spring Festival in the coming year.
Chen Shuwen looked respectful and approached Zhao Wujiang and Lin Ruhai under the gaze of the crowd.
The reason why he spoke like this was actually the result of turning the abacus in his mind.
He had met Lin Ruhai, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, several times in his father's study. He knew that this Minister was very knowledgeable, and now he appeared outside the south wall of the Ministry of Rites. In his opinion, he must have come to replace the Minister of Rites.
He saw the cheerful smiles of Lin Shangshu and the man beside him, and knew that Lin Ruhai was in a very good mood, so he took this opportunity to ask Lin Ruhai to write a poem.
How could anyone refuse this kind of opportunity to appear in front of others?
With the knowledge of the Minister of Civil Affairs, the poems he wrote are not bad. As long as Chen Shuwen takes the lead in complimenting him, other students will definitely echo the compliments, and then Minister Lin will definitely be very happy.
Then he, the one who made the suggestion, will also be rewarded, and he may be directly recommended to the court. After all, Lin Shangshu is in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, and his hands and eyes are very good in the court.
Lin Ruhai narrowed his eyes. Of course he could compose poetry, but how could such a thing be accomplished in just a few breaths or a few cups of tea?
Doesn't he want to think? Now in front of the students who did this, he thought for a long time, wouldn't he have lost face? But how could he do it without thinking?
He looked at the gazes of all the students, and squeezed his left hand tighter and tighter behind his back. At the same time, he became nervous and wanted to punch Chen Shuwen Bangbang twice.
How could he not understand Chen Shuwen's little thoughts? But now he was on fire.
what to do? Lin Ruhai exhaled slowly, turned his eyes, and suddenly revealed his light, looking at Zhao Wujiang who was as gentle as jade.
