In view of Sheng Changquan's "rumours" that Shen Li praised him a lot, Shen Shouzheng and Mrs. Shen did not immediately express their stance on Shen Li's idea.
The two elders neither objected nor agreed. They were just prepared to wait and see again to see how good Sheng Changquan was and whether he could be worthy of the jewel in the palm of their Shen family.
Among them, Master Shen is responsible for testing Sheng Changquan to see what his abilities and character are like. He is a good match for a good man. Lady Shen, on the other hand, is responsible for testing Shen Jun's wishes to see if she has any ideas.
Whether it's personality or appearance, in short, Master Shen and his wife are willing to fulfill some of Shen Jun's small wishes as long as the general direction is not delayed.
However, Mrs. Shen did not expect that she had just brought up the matter, and Shen Jun on the other side was already furious and had such a huge reaction, as if she could not accept it. , unwilling to agree.
then.
"Oh, that's fine!"
Mrs. Shen thought that Shen Jun's reaction represented her attitude and expressed her reluctance. Therefore, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but shook her head, and then sighed: "Since Jun'er is not happy, then Let’s just let this matter go!”
Because Mrs. Shen didn't know Sheng Changquan well, she only briefly learned about him from Shen Li's mouth. However, excluding the influence of Shen Li's subjective factors, Mrs. Shen actually had no understanding of Sheng Changquan. Not very satisfied.
Especially, his family background and origin.
In other words, Mrs. Shen disliked Sheng Changquan's background. On the one hand, she felt that the Sheng family was not a prominent family and was not worthy of the Shen family. On the other hand, and the most crucial point, Sheng Changquan was born as a concubine!
As the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, if Shen Jun marries like this, she will inevitably be laughed at in the future, especially by her little sisters in her acquaintance circle.
Although she married a daughter from a high family and a wife from a low family, Mrs. Shen was unwilling to wrong her daughter. After all, Sheng Changquan's family was really too low.
Mrs. Shen has already made up her mind. Since Shen Jun no longer agrees, she can just forget about the matter with Sheng Changquan, which will save her from always feeling uncomfortable.
"That's quite good!"
Madam Shen looked shocked, but once again strengthened her thoughts.
However, Mrs. Shen never thought that in the front hall on the other side, Mrs. Shen was extremely satisfied.
…
In the front hall.
Mr. Shen, who was sitting upright, looked at Sheng Changquan with a look of satisfaction on his face. He even said a rare compliment: "Chang Quan, these articles of yours are all excellent!"
"Although some places are still a bit underheated, overall, it's pretty good!"
Master Shen held Sheng Changquan's articles in one hand and stroked his beard with the other, feeling quite happy.
"It seems that you have mastered the essence of the imperial examination and understand how to take the imperial examination!"
Lord Shen smiled meaningfully, as if he was thinking of something else.
"Uncle, you are too generous!"
Sheng Changquan didn't notice anything wrong yet. He just shook his head and humbly expressed that he still had shortcomings.
"Actually, Chang Quan still has many doubts in his heart."
Sheng Changquan cupped his hands towards Shen Shouzheng and said, "Especially this policy is related to the general trend of the court. Sometimes, Changquan really doesn't know how to start!"
"I don't know?"
Sheng Changquan suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Shen Shouzheng: "Uncle, according to your opinion, do you think these articles of mine are wrong?"
"And do these writing styles need to be restrained to avoid seeming too forced?"
Sheng Changquan's eyes flashed and he asked tentatively.
"Um?"
After hearing Sheng Changquan's words, Shen Shouzheng immediately raised the corner of his mouth, and his expression was a little subtle, as if he was looking at Sheng Changquan with a half-smile.
Sheng Changquan didn't defend himself. He just stood in front of Shen Shouzheng and smiled naively, acting very "real", as if he didn't even know what Shen Shouzheng's look meant. .
On the other side, the truly honest Shen Li did not understand the confrontation between the two people. He just looked at an article in his hand stupidly, feeling extremely excited inside.
The article in his hand was a policy statement by Sheng Changquan. It was an exposition of the relationship between the Liang Kingdom and the dynasty. At the same time, it was also an exposition of the imperial court's preparations to send troops to Liang a few years ago.
"good!"
Shen Li was excited!
"Chang Quan's "On Liang" is truly a magnificent article that will last forever!"
Shen Li's face turned red, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: "This article alone is enough for everyone to see the flaws of Liang Kingdom!"
"If the officials and the princes in the court can seize the opportunity, they will definitely be able to defeat the Liang Kingdom and regain the homeland of Yanzhou!"
Shen Li's eyes were filled with ecstasy, as if the thing in his hand was no longer a piece of thin paper. Perhaps, it was a deep feeling, and it was the old place of Yanzhou that bore the souls of countless soldiers and people. More relevant.
It's a pity that Shen Li didn't know about it. How could the ministers in the DPRK know about what Sheng Changquan wrote?
Even if what they thought was not as clear as what Sheng Changquan wrote, what they knew was definitely not bad.
After all, how could anyone who could reach that point be a mediocre person?
It's just that they have more things to consider, and the things they care about are much more detailed than those in Sheng Changquan's "On Liang"!
Of course, maybe there is also their selfishness in this, and they want to seek some benefits.
It is precisely because of those various aspects that have to be taken into consideration that the dispatch of troops planned in the past few years was stopped at the court and was not announced.
In the middle of the field, Shen Shouzheng suddenly smiled, which immediately warmed up the atmosphere in the whole room.
"Haha, Changquan, you are a good boy!"
"It's really good!"
Shen Shouzheng praised Sheng Changquan strangely, and a hint of heartfelt appreciation appeared on his face.
In this regard, Sheng Changquan did not act too strange. He still smiled naively, as if he didn't know what Shen Shouzheng meant by his words.
"Uncle, you are too praised!"
Sheng Changquan was still as humble as ever and had no intention of revealing anything.
In fact, the meaning of Shen Shouzheng's expression is easy to understand, because of Sheng Changquan's question!
Sheng Changquan seemed to be exploring whether the style of his article was suitable, but in fact he was secretly asking Shen Shouzheng for advice, asking him to reveal the mainstream will of the examiner of this provincial examination, or the imperial court.
In the provincial examination, apart from some examinations that test hard skills, such as writing poems and lyrics, and expounding the classics of sages, the most difficult thing is policy analysis.
The most important thing about this strategy is to have a heart that follows the imperial court. In other words, if you want to go to high school, you must conform to the imperial court's thoughts in the provincial examination and understand the whole story of the imperial court's policies.
Of course, some people may think that the official examiner is the most important in the provincial examination. After all, he is responsible for the first step of selecting the paper. If it is not the same as the examiner's idea, then it will be considered that you have written the best Articles that cater to official sentiments are in vain.
However, this brings me to the last point. Don’t forget, this examiner is appointed by the official. If he cannot meet the official’s wishes, then why would he choose him as the examiner?
Therefore, everything is left unsaid.
"hehe!"
In the field, Shen Shouzheng looked at Sheng Changquan's appearance, and his heart moved slightly, but for the first time, he felt that Shen Li's idea was very good.
"Perhaps, this little guy pretending to be stupid in front of me is really a good match for Jun'er!"
Shen Shouzheng changed his mind, but opened his mouth to give him some advice.
"In that case, Chang Quan, let me tell you a few words of my opinion!"
After all, Shen Shouzheng was used to being an official. Even at home, he still spoke in a flawless manner: "Of course, this is just my personal opinion. There are bound to be mistakes and omissions. Don't do your best if you have the power." letter!"
Shen Shouzheng specifically glanced at Shen Li, who was still shaking himself not far away, and slightly increased his tone: "Of course, there is also Li'er, you should also keep it in mind!"
"ah?"
Shen Li was so shocked that he immediately came to his senses.
"Yes! Dad!"
Shen Li, who had already practiced such a superb skill at home, replied without thinking.
Shen Shouzheng was well aware of this, but he didn't say much. He just turned his head and continued to explain to Sheng Changquan: "Actually, there has been another wave of sending troops in the DPRK recently. Many princes and princes have I am also eager to send troops to conquer, but their target is not the land of Yanzhou, but various small countries in the south!"
"..."
Shen Shouzheng first explained the situation between North Korea and China to Sheng Changquan, and then carefully analyzed the attitudes and political pursuits of all parties in this situation. Of course, the most important thing was the attitude of the officials.
However, Shen Shouzheng did not explicitly state the official's attitude. He only indirectly described the official's expressions when the courtiers from all sides presented the memorial, in order to wake up the two juniors.
After this explanation, let alone Sheng Changquan, even Shen Li, who had never understood the situation well, had an overall concept in his mind and understood what the current situation in the court was like.
Finally, Shen Shouzheng emphatically named the character of the examiner of this provincial examination and what his arguments were.
After a long time, when Shen Shouzheng said that his mouth was a little dry, he finally said everything in a vague way.
"How about it? Is there any gain in gaining power?"
Shen Shouzheng picked up the Jianzhan beside him and took a sip.
"Thank you uncle for your advice, Chang Quan already understands it!"
Sheng Changquan did not pretend to be stupid at this time, but accepted the love immediately.
"Well, that's good!"
Shen Shouzheng did not ask Shen Li how he had gained. After he heard Sheng Changquan's reply, he moved slightly, and then said: "Chang Quan, since you have gained something, take advantage of this opportunity." , think about these things carefully again!”
"I believe that after you think about it carefully, you will definitely have a different opinion!"
Shen Shouzheng nodded pointedly, then stood up, turned to Shen Li beside him, and ordered: "Li'er, since Chang Quan is your friend, then take him with you." In the yard!”
"You two young people would like to have a careful exchange of ideas and discuss with each other the results of what I just said!"
"Yes, father!"
Seeing Shen Shouzheng getting up, Shen Li immediately looked solemn, and then nodded in agreement.
He knew that what his father meant by saying this was actually to ask him to take Sheng Changquan away. It seemed that Lord Shen must be busy with something at the moment.
However, that's right, after all, he is the Minister of Household Affairs who is in charge of the imperial court and even the money bags of the world. How can Shen Shouzheng have such leisure time.
Therefore.
"Long right!"
"Yes, uncle!"
Shen Shouzheng looked at Sheng Changquan and said apologetically: "Uncle still has some government affairs to deal with at the moment, but he can't entertain you anymore."
"My uncle's words are really embarrassing!"
Sheng Changquan heard the string and understood the elegant meaning, and immediately replied: "This is Chang Quan's fault. It was Chang Quan who disturbed uncle. Why did uncle speak like this?"
"hehe!"
Shen Shouzheng didn't say much, just smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, since you are Li'er's good friend, you are my nephew, so why bother?"
"Thank you uncle for your love, Chang Quan is really ashamed!"
Sheng Changquan first thanked him sincerely, and then said: "However, since it is a court matter, it must still be important. Please make your own decision, uncle!"
"You must not delay the important affairs of the court because of the matter of long-term power!"
"In that case, Li'er, then you should take Chang Quan and leave first!"
Shen Shouzheng looked at Shen Li, who didn't speak much at home, and felt speechless. Finally, he waved his hand and gave an order tiredly.
"yes!"
At this time, Shen Li was shocked!
"Father, then my son will resign first!"
Shen Li saluted his father, and then hurriedly dragged Sheng Changquan out. In such a posture, it looked like he was running away in embarrassment.
In the end, Sheng Changquan could only say hello to Lord Shen briefly, and then left with Shen Li.
"Oh, this gift..."
Behind him, Shen Shouzheng looked at his son with melancholy, feeling silently depressed in his heart...
…
"Huh~"
"It's finally out!"
As soon as he came out, Shen Li complained happily.
"hehe!"
Seeing this, Sheng Changquan didn't say much. After all, he could clearly see what Shen Li was thinking.
Among them, it is nothing more than that the "dog son" does not want to see the "tiger father"!
"That's right, Changquan!"
Shen Li didn't know that his good brother would complain about him like this in his heart. He turned to his good friend beside him and asked, "Now that you are back, how did Uncle Sheng arrange for you?"
Shen Li planned to take the opportunity to implement his little plan. At this time, he had already begun to secretly inquire for information.
