However, the understanding I had at that time was only for preparations for official matters. To be honest, Mr. Yu Ge did not have much in-depth understanding of his character and human nature in private.
In other words, based on Mr. Yu Ge's current understanding of him, he is still not confident enough to trust Mr. Shen.
And now, because of the impact of resigning and returning to his hometown, not only Shen Shouzheng, the Minister of Household Affairs, but also Sun Zhixing, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, had secretly found someone to make peace with him, and his purpose was the same as Shen Shouzheng's letter. , all want the recommendation quota from Mr. Yu Ge.
"Oh! What a troubled time it has been!"
Mr. Yu Ge shook his head and put down the pen in his hand.
"It's just that Sun Zhixing and Shen Shouzheng are actually not the most suitable candidates in my mind!"
Elder Yu Ge lamented and began to analyze the whole story.
"If I withdraw this time, the only person who is qualified to come in is Li Dongyang, besides Sun and Shen!"
"It's just that Li Dongyang has an upright nature and doesn't seem to be well received by the officials. If we recommend him this time, it will be useless without external help!"
"What should I do?"
Li Dongyang, the imperial official, is the person in charge of the Yushitai today, and is also the biggest troll in the court. From the official empress to the ninth-rank Xiaozhi County, no one who has evidence in his possession can Never been sprayed by it.
Even the empress, who had no regard for government affairs, was angrily criticized by Li Dongyang in a memorial!
Because the empress of that year once inadvertently said in the harem that Jiangning's silk was good, the people below used the banner to collect it indiscriminately in Jiangning City, disrupting the cloth shop business in Jiangning City. Too bad, many people related to the cloth business are suffering greatly and are in a state of embarrassment!
Fortunately, the angel's random collection of tributes was discovered by Li Dongyang's friends, who then reported it to Li Dongyang, and later provided evidence of the angel's misdeeds.
Therefore, on that day in the court, Li Dongyang high-spirited and high-spirited in front of the officials and hundreds of officials, not only impeached the eunuch who collected the cloth indiscriminately, but also pointed directly at the source of the matter, that is, the empress who was being fawned over by the chamberlain.
Although everything Li Dongyang said was true, and the fault for this matter indeed lay with the palace, the officials could only hold their noses and accept Li Dongyang's impeachment that day, and put the misbehaving servant into the sky prison. While waiting for trial, he also gave a verbal reprimand to the empress in the harem, blaming her for not speaking carelessly, causing the people of Jiangning to suffer this disaster!
The official family even deliberately reduced the palace expenses of everyone except the Queen Mother, including the official family themselves, as a warning to future generations.
It is said that when the empress received the official order, she was so angry that she shed tears on the spot!
However, although Li Dongyang offended many nobles in the palace, he also won the admiration and appreciation of hundreds of officials. Even the literary circles outside were proud of him, praising him for not fearing the imperial power, being upright, and a virtuous man. Talented gentleman.
but!
Except for a few members of the cabinet, everyone in the world did not know that although the official was angry at Li Dongyang's impeachment and felt that he did not give the royal family face, he still admired Li Dongyang in his heart. Even the official cried in anger. The empress also personally sent someone to apologize to Li Dongyang afterwards and confessed her mistake.
It is precisely because of the behavior of the officials and the empress that these people, including Mr. Yu Ge, were moved. These two fathers and mothers of the country are really wise kings!
Therefore, it is now obvious that apart from Sun and Shen, the only one who is most competitive in joining the cabinet is Li Dongyang.
In Mr. Yu Ge's heart, the one he wanted to recommend the most was actually Li Dongyang.
Of course, this does not mean that the relationship between Mr. Yu Ge and Li Dongyang is very good. In fact, the two of them have no personal relationship, and it can even be said that they have never been in contact with each other.
Because Li Dongyang looked down upon Yu Ge’s son from his hometown, Yu Yanran’s father, Mr. Yu. He felt that there was nothing wrong with Mr. Yu Ge being above the court, but he had some shortcomings in the family. Even Mr. Yu’s There were also some disciplinary violations.
If Mr. Yu Ge hadn't personally wiped his son's butt and solved the problem in time, Li Dongyang would have been impeached by the court again.
However, even so, Mr. Yu Ge was still very optimistic about him and felt that Li Dongyang was a rare pillar in the court.
However, Mr. Yu Ge is also a human being, and he is not a great saint who is dedicated to the public good. He is also obsessed with the inheritance of the Yu family.
Among Sun Zhixing, Shen Shouzheng, and Li Dongyang, the first two pointed out that they would take more care of the children of the Yu family in the future. Sun Zhixing even frankly said that he would recommend Mr. Yu, the son of Mr. Yu Ge, to take a closer step and directly He was sent to another place and became a feudal official.
It's a pity that Sun Shangshu didn't know that his condition made Mr. Yu Ge feel disgusted from the bottom of his heart!
My family knew about their own affairs, and based on my son's nature, if he was left out to the local government, I am afraid he would soon degenerate, break laws and disciplines, and become the corrupt official that Yu Ge hated most in his heart.
After all, this place is not like Beijing, where Mr. Yu is the only one in charge. If no one is watching, Mr. Yu Ge knows very well that his dog will soon go astray.
Therefore, almost immediately after Mr. Yu Ge saw Sun Zhixing's words, he excluded him.
Mr. Yu Ge decided in his heart that Sun Zhixing could not be allowed to join the cabinet. After all, this person had no bottom line in his work and was really not suitable to enter the center of the imperial court.
Moreover, even if Sun Zhixing may still enter the cabinet in the future, Yu Ge Lao still has principles in his heart. At the very least, in his hands, he will never be allowed to have a chance.
However, Li Dongyang, who is the most suitable in Mr. Yu Ge's mind, is incompetent and does not give any information to the Yu family at all. In other words, Li Dongyang may not take more care of the Yu family in the future. Therefore, Mr. Yu Ge is like this. Shi Ye has been hesitating, not knowing whether he should recommend Li Dongyang or not.
Recommend him, then the Yu family will inevitably lose a piece of their heritage, and the children of the Yu family will probably lose a layer of protection in the future. However, don’t recommend him, and you can’t pass the test in your heart, and it goes against your own conduct and behavior. the rules.
It is precisely because of this that Mr. Yu Ge is so hesitant.
As for Shen Shouzheng, this was also the one that Mr. Yu Ge had been hesitating about.
In Shen Shouzheng's letter, he stated his intentions very vaguely. In other words, he had almost made it clear that he would take care of the children of the Yu family in the future. As long as they were able, Shen Shouzheng would try his best to help them. help.
At the same time, Shen Shouzheng also explained his thoughts and told Mr. Yu Ge about the direction of the court in his mind. If he entered the cabinet, he would devote himself to developing the people's livelihood economy and try his best to ensure that the court's borders were not disturbed. In order to further develop the living standards of the people and improve the national power of the imperial court, it awaits the efforts of later generations.
Mr. Yu Ge also knew what Shen Shouzheng meant. In other words, Shen Shouzheng did not support starting a war now, but wanted to strengthen the country first and leave the matter of recovering the country to the future.
In this regard, Mr. Yu Ge's thoughts coincided with his.
Since ten years ago, the martial nobles above the court have been inciting the officials to regain Yanzhou and attack many small countries in the south, so as to promote the power of the Celestial Dynasty, to make the world famous and to frighten the barbarians.
Among them, the most inspiring one is to go to war with Beiliang and conquer the counties of Yanzhou that Zhenzong Dynasty lost!
If it weren't for the fact that the official family had not decided on the Prince of the East Palace, and many civil servants used this as an excuse, I am afraid that the entire court would have started an attack on Beiliang under the instigation of this group of warriors.
In fact, Mr. Yu Ge was not simply opposed to the war, but he was a prudent man and felt that this was not the best time to start a war. After all, the losses caused by the Zhenzong dynasty had not yet been fully recovered.
Not to mention whether the national treasury is sufficient, but to talk about the soldiers who died in the war, their generation will have an impact on one or two generations!
Therefore, Yu Gelao thought that the best time to start the war was in the next dynasty, which was Renzong's successor.
Now, what Shen Shouzheng said coincided with Elder Yu Ge's thoughts.
However, what Yu Gelao hesitated in was whether what Shen Shouzheng said was true?
Or was this just something he said deliberately in order to get his own recommendation qualification? Regarding this, Mr. Yu Ge was full of doubts.
"Perhaps I still need to meet with the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!"
Mr. Yu Ge murmured softly.
…
Rural examination examination room.
Sheng Changquan took his belongings and found his examination seat according to the sign issued by the official.
"Haha, Bingxu position!"
Looking at the serial number of the brand in his hand, Sheng Changquan smiled slightly.
"Fortunately, it's not near the toilet, otherwise, I would have been in trouble!"
In this venue, there are two areas that are "forbidden places" and are places that all students are extremely afraid of.
One is the exam number near the toilet.
You know, after all, the provincial examination will be closed for three days. Therefore, these hundreds of people will gather here to eat, drink and have sex. The accumulated smell is definitely comparable to a biochemical weapon!
Therefore, those students who are connected to it will definitely be upset by it, which will greatly affect their performance. Except for a few determined people, Sheng Changquan himself may not be able to bear it.
Fortunately, he devoted himself to the Sheng family in this life. Although it was not a top family, he was still somewhat related to it. Therefore, Sheng Changquan was extremely "lucky" to stay away from this nightmare place.
Yes, Sheng Changquan also had some manipulations in his examination number. Although the rural examination is strict and fraud is prohibited, it is still possible to adjust the position of the examination number like this. Those officials responsible for issuing examination numbers to candidates I am still very willing to make this convenient for my colleagues.
Not to mention, for a guy with a good literary reputation like Sheng Changquan, these old-timers in the officialdom will naturally not embarrass him with his academic talent, and they will even show their kindness in person and give him some benefits.
Then again, the second forbidden place in that scene was the resting place for the examiners.
The students there are equivalent to writing papers under the eyes of the invigilator, and the pressure can be imagined.
After all, the students elsewhere are only under the supervision of the government officials and the occasional inspections by these adults. Compared with the candidates taking exams near their resting place, it is much easier.
Of course, for capable students, perhaps this second place is even more of a blessing, but for the vast majority of people, they still don't like it.
"Boom!"
Sheng Changquan walked into the Bingxu examination hall and placed the things he brought in on the only small table inside.
"Hey, the things here are really simple!"
Looking at the layout of the examination hall, Sheng Changquan sighed with some speechlessness: "It's exactly what the second brother said, there is only one table and one mazaar inside."
"Oh, by the way! There's also a bed board!"
Sheng Changquan looked up and found that there was a bed board behind the small table.
However, this bed board is really just a wooden board. At this time, it is lying naked on the ground covered with straw, "laughing" towards Sheng Changquan.
Of course, this is just Sheng Changquan's joke of having fun in pain. After all, how can this thing laugh?
"Hey! Could it be that someone would fall ill after passing this exam? The conditions for relationships are really so difficult!"
Sheng Changquan sighed while taking out the pens, inks, paper, inkstones and other tools from the examination box and placing them neatly
…

…
"However, luckily I have good health. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have gotten seriously ill!"
After Sheng Changquan finished taking care of his most important tools, he turned around and started to tidy up his bed. He took out the sheets and clothes that his sister had prepared for him, and spread them on the bed board behind him. Above, and finally, he took out a lot of food boxes from his big bag and placed them in a corner.
"Hey, is there a small stove here?"
Sheng Changquan looked back and found that there was a small stove behind the entrance door.
This stove has a strange shape. The furnace mouth appears inside the house, but the fire outlet is outside the house. It seems that the fire source is arranged by the examination room, and its purpose is to ensure the safety of the candidates.
After all, although the ancients did not know its principle, they also knew that carbon monoxide could kill people.
"Haha, this stove is really fun!"
Sheng Changquan looked at the steamer placed on the stove mouth and couldn't help but have a smile on his face: "It seems that the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court has many inventions!"
Sheng Changquan playfully opened the steamer on the stove mouth and found that there was a closed space underneath, and it was filled with water. It seemed that the candidates were going to use this thing to cook.
"Well, that's quite considerate!"
