In addition, due to his abilities and background, Shen Shouzheng has already experienced in several departments within the six imperial departments. His qualifications and political achievements are among the best, so he can sit as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Become a courtier boss.
Moreover, the most important thing is that the current Ge Lao, Yu Ge Lao, is Yu Yanran's grandfather. His body is about to give out. He often feels that he is unable to cope with the heavy government affairs above the court.
Therefore, not only for the sake of his own health, but also for the sake of his family, Mr. Yu Ge decided to protest and beg for his body to the officials. So far, he has already submitted a memorial to his family.
According to the tacit understanding between the cabinet and officials, unless there are special circumstances, the resignation of Mr. Yu will usually be rejected three times. Therefore, as long as Mr. Yu comes two more times, he can go back to his hometown directly.
Moreover, as Mr. Yu Ge who once controlled the affairs of the imperial court, he also knows very well how attractive the position of the cabinet is to others.
If Mr. Yu Ge is begging for bones at this time, then no matter what, the newcomer must acknowledge his kindness and thank him for vacating his seat.
After all, if Mr. Yu Ge is greedy for power and refuses to retreat, there will be nothing anyone can do against him.
In the unspoken rules of the court, if the subsequent successor is recommended by Mr. Yu Ge, it will deepen the causal relationship between the two, making them have a closer causal relationship of gratitude. , and then made the new elders silently look after the family of the previous elders and protect them.
After all, every sitting elder will be a beneficiary of this rule. Therefore, as these vested interests, everyone will naturally spare no effort to maintain this rule so that it can continue.
Of course, if the new cabinet elder is not the one recommended by the previous cabinet elder, then there is not much to say about the relationship between them. At most, it will be just a matter of love in the future.
This kind of affection is relatively weak.
After all, this kind of succession of Mr. Xinge was not recommended by Mr. Xinge, which means that this is Mr. Xinge’s own method and has nothing to do with others, nor with Mr. Xinge. If there are many causal relationships, then there is no need to care about anything else except a trace of human favor and face.
However, generally speaking, after the elder Xiange takes office, the officials will ask for his opinion to see if he has a suitable person to recommend. If the person's qualifications and abilities are suitable, and there are no other factors to consider, Then the person recommended by the elders will have a great chance of joining the cabinet.
Moreover, even if he cannot join the cabinet, as long as Mr. Xiange can say something before leaving, the officials will definitely keep it in mind.
Although it may not necessarily be useful, it must be useful. There is no guarantee that it will be remembered by the officials sometime in the future and then reused.
However, precisely because General Yu Ge is about to retire, there will definitely be a vacant seat in the cabinet. Therefore, Shen Shouzheng, as the first-level person under the top bosses, Naturally, he was also eyeing that position.
It can even be said that the position of the new cabinet elder will be chosen from people of Shen Shouzheng's class.
Therefore, facing Mr. Shen who may reach the top or is about to join the cabinet, Sheng Changquan will naturally not let go and must maintain a stable relationship with them.
Not to mention, this guy Shen Li is already a trustworthy person.
After all, when making friends, Sheng Changquan does not only value their backgrounds. If he cannot make friends, then no matter how strong his background is, he will not be able to catch his eye.
…
"snort!"
Seeing Shen Li's playful and unruly look, Shen Jun couldn't help but snorted.
"Brother, are you telling the truth?"
Shen Jun squinted his eyes and looked at his brother suspiciously.
In an instant, she took a step forward, pointed at Shen Li's head with her delicate jade, and questioned in disbelief: "Brother, if you really miss me, then why don't you go to Sanqing Temple? "
"besides!"
"When you came to pick up my mother and me today, you were still late?"
"Is this how you miss my sister?"
Although he was exposing Shen Li's background, there was no anger in Shen Jun's tone.
On the contrary, there was even a trace of happiness in her words, as if she had encountered something happy.
However, Shen Jun can indeed be happy.
After all, she can return to Beijing again today, which means that the time limit for her to pray for the official family has passed.
As a young girl, no matter how sensible Shen Jun is and how willing she is to contribute to her family, she will not like to stay in a Taoist temple all the time.
"hey-hey!"
Seeing that Shen Jun saw through his thoughts, Shen Li was a little embarrassed. However, after all, they were siblings, so he quickly adjusted. In addition, he found that his sister was in a good mood, so he took the opportunity to say .
"Sister, I just forgot about it this time because I was so absorbed in reading these days."
"I would like to ask you, sir, to forgive my brother for this mistake!"
Shen Li grabbed Shen Jun's clothes and begged softly: "At most..."
"At most, if anything happens in the future, I will listen to you, sister!"
"Is that okay? Sister?"
At this time, Shen Li suddenly said coquettishly like he did when he was a child.
However, Shen Jun didn't pay attention to this. Instead, she looked at Shen Li and asked with a frown: "Oh? What did you say?"
"Too absorbed in reading?"
After hearing this, Shen Jun couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat and felt something was wrong.
"Brother, what's going on with you?"
"Have you forgotten what your father warned you earlier?"
"Huh? What?"
Hearing her sister speak like this, Shen Li immediately regretted it!
"Damn it, how could I forget this?"
Shen Li smacked himself in his mind, and couldn't help but feel a little sarcastic on his face.
"Sister, I...I said it wrong!"
"Actually, I want to say...I...I..."
After all, Shen Li is still the same Shen Li, even though he has changed a bit, but like the previous Shen Li, he gets stuck whenever he lies and can't get anything out of his head.
"Okay, Shenli!"
"Explain to me what's going on here!"
Shen Jun's eyebrows stood up, but he was a little angry!
In fact, Shen Jun did not deliberately embarrass his younger brother, but because Shen Li's own condition had some problems.
As mentioned before, Shen Li's qualifications are not high, and he can barely pass the Tongsheng Examination. Even now, he has only just passed the Scholarship Examination.
Compared with Sheng Changquan, who had already gained the reputation of being a scholar six years ago, Shen Li failed to pass the exam several times. It was not until he failed in the most recent college exam that he passed the exam. Moreover, he was even more... Ranked among the bottom few, I almost lost my place again.
Such achievements, compared with Sheng Changquan's achievements or his own family background, are really bleak.
However, although he is not very old and can obtain higher academic status in the future, his family knows about his affairs. Whether it is Shen Li himself or relatives such as Shen Shouzheng and Shen Jun, they all understand it and treat it as such. In terms of Shen Li's qualifications, being a scholar was already the ceiling in his life.
Unless there is some special "opportunity", it is difficult for Shen Li to achieve success in the scientific examination.
You know, before this, Shen Shouzheng had always thought that Shen Li would never pass the college examination.
It was precisely because Shen Li was not expected to become a scholar that Master Shen felt that he would not be able to inherit the position of patriarch of the Shen family in the future. In the end, he could only reluctantly become a wealthy man in his own shadow.
Therefore, Mr. Shen would not let him go out in the name of the Shen family, so as not to offend anyone. He would just keep him at home to cultivate his moral character and live a peaceful life.
However, who would have thought that Shen Li, at the cost of his own possible obsession, actually managed to pass the test and gained the title of scholar.
Although it was very reluctant, it succeeded in the end. This showed that Shen Li was not only able to maintain the orthodoxy of Shen Shouzheng's direct line, but could also ultimately inherit the position of the head of the Shen family.
But with the protection of the head of the Shen family, Shen Li will never worry about anything unspeakable happening in the future.
After all, the Shen family, as a long-established family, would not put their head in danger.
However, Shen Li passed this test without a price. That is, after passing the college examination, Shen Li went back and slept for three days and three nights. It was almost as if he didn't go to see his ancestors directly!
It is precisely because of this that Shen Shouzheng strictly ordered Shen Li not to be so crazy in the future. Otherwise, Shen Laohu was really worried that his lineage would be extinct!
Therefore, since that time, everyone in the Shen family has understood the taboo of the Shen family, which is that Shen Li must not be allowed to study too crazy.
After all, Shen Li is so stubborn that if he makes a mistake, he might go directly to see his ancestors!
"Sister!"
Shen Li was a little embarrassed and didn't want to say it clearly.
"Shenli!"
Shen Jun was a little angry: "What else do you want to hide? Do you insist that I tell my father about this?"
"Ah? Stop it, sister!"
"I said, I said that's it!"
After hearing Shen Jun's trump card, cold sweat broke out on Shen Li's forehead, and he immediately gave in.
Shen Jun didn't speak, but still looked at him quietly, his eyes full of solemnity.
"Sister, actually, I want to take advantage of the opportunity to participate in this autumn examination with Brother Changquan."
…
(Change first and then change)
…
"Participating in this year's autumn examination?"
After listening to Shen Li's explanation, Shen Jun paused, and suddenly felt enlightened.
"Brother, you..."
However, Shen Jun maintained a negative attitude towards this matter. She looked at the smile on her brother's face and hesitated to speak.
Shen Li was not surprised by Shen Jun's reaction. In fact, he had the same feeling in his heart, and felt that his chances of winning this time would not be very high.
No, it should be said that there is no chance.
However, Shen Li has already been mentally prepared for this and will not feel disappointed because of it.
After all, as Sheng Changquan said to him, if a person doesn't even have a dream, what's the difference between him and a salted fish?
Although Shen Li didn't know what kind of fish salted fish was, he knew that if he didn't want to be despised by his best friend, then he had to make an effort.
What's more, this kind of thing is impossible to say. If in this college examination, my writing style happens to be what the examiner likes, then Shenli may not be able to go to high school!
therefore!
"Haha, sister, I know what you are thinking."
Seeing Shen Jun's strange expression, Shen Li smiled lightly and acted very indifferently.
"Actually, that's what I originally thought. With my own ability, I don't need to think about the provincial examination."
"But Chang Quan told me."
"He said, 'People still have to have pursuits and dreams. There is no need to talk about whether they have been realized or not. But as long as we work hard and fight hard at this stage, even if we fail in the end, it is nothing!'"
Having said this, Shen Li couldn't help but reveal a heartfelt smile.
"Sister, I think what he said makes sense!"
Shen Li turned around, looked at his sister and said, "If I give up the provincial examination now, then when I get old, if one day I suddenly recall my current actions, I won't regret it at that time. of!"
"I think it would have been very difficult for me at that time."
Shen Li blinked his eyes, looking a little pitiful.
"Sister, even if it is unlikely that I will go to high school now, if you don't let me give it a try, I will definitely not be willing to give it up in the future!"
"But, brother, you..."
Shen Jun was a little worried about his brother's health, fearing that he would collapse from exhaustion like last time.
You know, during the last hospital examination, the doctor gave a diagnosis, saying that Shenli was born with insufficient innate resources and was quite weak in spiritual thinking and wisdom. In the future, it is best not to work hard and waste a lot of energy like that time. , so as not to hinder his life span.
"Sister!"
Shen Li looked serious and interrupted Shen Jun directly: "I know you are worried about my health, afraid that something will happen to me!"
"But!"
"I am a human being, not a puppet. I have lived for so many years and read so many books. If you really don't let me give it a try at all, I really won't be willing to do it!"
Shen Li said firmly.
After so many years, this was the first time Shen Jun had seen his brother look like this, and he was a little stunned for a moment.
"And, Sister!"
Seeing that Shen Jun seemed to be hesitant, Shen Li immediately smiled and relaxed the topic: "You always have to have such a dream. After all, what if it comes true?"
As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately became much more harmonious.
