At the wedding banquet, Wen Yanjing watched as he got married after his first major, Chang Feng got drunk happily and said he wanted to get married, Ming Lan talked calmly to Wei Xiaoniang, and Qi Heng wanted to have a drink with Chang Bai.
Xie Yu felt that what he did was not a bad thing.
It can be said that it has smoothed over some of the difficulties. In fact, according to the probability, it is much better for the heroine to marry the second male lead than to marry.
Three days later, Ru Lan returned home.
Speaking of Wen Yanjing's future, Wen Yanjing is now just a new scholar. He was born in a peasant family and has no connections in the court.
She relies on Sheng Hong, the teacher and father-in-law. Of course, it would be better if Xie Yu, brothers-in-law or seniors can help.
When you become an official, you naturally want to be in the capital, and Wen Yanjing naturally does the same.
Moreover, he is the thirteenth in the second division. As long as he has some connections, there is no problem in staying in the capital.
Sheng Hong and the eldest lady didn't want to see Ru Lan for a long time, so they naturally made some arrangements.
However, Chang Feng, with his scientific examination results, is the same as Xie Yu at the beginning, and he will definitely be released. This can be regarded as an unspoken rule of the scientific examination!
It's just that the person Chang Feng is discussing is Liu, the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family, and she reluctantly agreed after learning that Chang Feng was selected.
Now is the time for marriage negotiations, so it would be inappropriate to be sent to a remote place as an official.
The court will not consider this, but Sheng Hong needs to consider it.
Then he looked at Xie Yu. Xie Yu thought for a while. Kaifeng Prefecture has seventeen counties under its jurisdiction. Xianping County is not too far away from Fengcheng. There is still an empty seat for an eighth-rank master who can fight for it.
Even though the rank of this official position is not high, because it is close to Feng Mansion, many people can be jealous of him.
Xie Yu had hinted slightly before, although it was not clear, but Chang Feng was not really a fool, so he was naturally overjoyed and immediately stood up to salute Xie Yu.
Although Sheng Hong just smiled, he was indeed happier than Chang Feng. He knew that with his ability, his official career was limited, and all he wanted in the rest of his life was harmony and mutual support among his descendants.
Xie Yu's hand really won her heart.
The happy days are short-lived.
Another year has passed in the blink of an eye, but since the change of era name after the New Year, the situation in the DPRK has become less peaceful.
The old and the new have replaced each other, and today's sages are using small sects to succeed large sects, but the foundation is basically shallow.
When the new king succeeds to the throne, he naturally does not want Xiao Gui to follow him, but wants to achieve something.
But doing this will naturally offend many conservatives.
In the exchange of power, someone gains and someone loses.
In addition, the old emperor often fell ill in his later years and was bedridden for a long time, so he naturally had a poor grasp of government affairs. Moreover, due to his kindness, many officials were already incompetent.
The losers in the Shenchen Rebellion actually had a lot of talented people. They naturally saw the problems in government affairs and focused on the next generation of successors.
But I didn't expect that in the end, these mediocre people who were watching the fire from the other side would benefit.
These mediocre people naturally don't want to give up the benefits they get.
In order to protect their own interests, they immediately stopped being mediocre. In fact, everyone said that smart people and fools would not be able to pass the imperial examination.
The original mediocrity was just wanting to be like the light, and it was rare to be confused. ….
Now that the new king wants to intercept their fundamental interests, he will naturally have to fight for it.
The seats are limited, and once they have secured their position, the new emperor Zhao Zongquan will not be able to place more of his own people, and he will not be able to use his arms and legs to form his own new policy.
This is a two-way road, one wants to be fast and the other wants to be slow. In the early stage, they could tolerate each other and adjust. However, starting from the new year and after changing the year name, many conflicts will finally be resolved slowly.
Once a new minister is replaced by an old minister, although everyone knows it, the old minister relies on his seniority and immediate interests. He thinks that he is not old and does not want to take the initiative to give up his position.
Having said that, this year's Enke Jinshi class is really lucky. Not only has the exam difficulty been reduced, but also because they are the first class of disciples today, they have received a lot of care.
Even among the top three, most of them stayed in Beijing, which shows that Yuzhou Qiandi's talents are poor and excluded.
Therefore, during this period, Xie Yu's work became a little difficult.
After all, the struggle for power is derived from the struggle for political affairs, finance, and military affairs.
This group of people will pretend to be stupid when you ask them to do things, but they won't let you do things, and they are particularly powerful when they do bad things.
If you want to deal with him, these old fools will immediately have ten or eight legitimate reasons waiting for you, making you feel helpless for a moment.
Xie Yu was not the only one who encountered this situation, but almost everyone from Yuzhou encountered it.
People are like marshmallows, clinging to you.
Xie Yu also understood at this time why Zhao Zongquan later made a plan that was similar to luring people into an urn, creating rebellion and counterinsurgency.
If this continues, it will do too much harm to the government.
Why not create one? King Yan made the "Shenchen Rebellion" back then, so that all the old ministers with strange thoughts could be swept away.
The long-term pain will be worse than the short-term pain if we draw out the firepower. Only in this way can the decline be swept away and the New Deal can be implemented smoothly without any constraints.
In the late spring season, the scenery is just right.
In order to win the hearts of her subjects, Queen Shen held a polo match beside Jinming Pond.
Xie Yu would naturally go to this polo club.
In fact, Xie Yu didn't really want to fight, and wanted to wait until the end when Xinjun used the trick of "asking you to put yourself in the jar".
However, during the New Year's pilgrimage, as the new countess, Zhao Pan'er went to the palace to pay homage to Queen Shen, and was invited into her Baoci Palace by the Queen Mother's people.
After mocking Zhao Paner's background, he asked her to bring back the two most beautiful ones, saying they were the maids left behind by the late emperor.
He said that they had been serving him for many years and that he had taken good care of themselves. However, they were getting older and did not dare to delay their marriage, so he gave Xie Yu as his concubine and asked Xie Yu to treat them well.
During the conversation, these two palace maids were more beautiful than Zhao Pan'er, more sensible than Zhao Pan'er, and more noble than Zhao Pan'er.
Since this was a humiliation, it was also a warning, but the disparity in status made Zhao Paner feel like she could only endure it.
This also made Xie Yu understand that when you are taller than others when sitting, don't blame others for plotting against you.
Xie Yu, who originally wanted to endure the humiliation and give in and wait for the opportunity, naturally knew that he had to make some preparations.
In fact, Xie Yu understood that although he had taken refuge in Zhao Zongquan at the beginning, he had not followed him for many years, or even since he was a child.
Many people from the Yuzhou faction even regarded Xie Yu's original behavior as political speculation.
Zhao Zongquan had just entered Bianjing, and there were not many trustworthy civil servants around him, so Xie Yu was naturally chosen as the general among the cripples.
Quickly pull it out, fortunately Xie Yu is also very useful.
But as Zhao Zongquan's position was stabilized, many people with rich officialdom and political experience naturally joined him.
Xie Yu's qualifications and connections were not as good as others who had been a civil servant for many years, and the Yuzhou clan also had some complaints against Xie Yu.
Therefore, Xie Yu now only lingers in Zhao Zongquan's inner circle of power. When he came to the court, he only did specific work as an affairs officer, and rarely had the opportunity to enter the court to ask for memorials.
In fact, Xie Yu is still satisfied with this position.
Gu Tingye, who didn't see the eye-catching character, was sent all over the world to "put out fires" by the emperor.
Don't take it for granted
