There was a brief silence in the back garden, and the Chen family father and son looked at Han You.
No matter how young Han You is, he is the emperor's personal soldier.
Han You was demoted again, and it was as if he went to the palace and entered his own house.
Han You would not go to court, and so many things had happened. The three ministers of the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Household Affairs were not prepared to protect him and tolerate him.
With the words "How far can Chen Yu'an go?", both Chen Yongzhi and Chen Yu'an slowed down their breathing.
I know my own family affairs. If Chen Yu'an does not become the number one scholar, Chen Yongzhi's biggest hope for him is to become an official in the court. If he is in the Ministry of Industry or the Second Ministry of Punishment, he will be considered a doctor. If he is in the official, Among the three departments of Rites and Households, most of them are Yuanwailang. It is Chen Yongzhi who has to fight for his son's success.
Chen Yongzhi never dreamed that his eldest son would become the number one scholar in the most stringent imperial examination in the first year of this dynasty without any fraud, and he was the number one scholar appointed by the emperor.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing for Chen Yongzhi, a mixture of good and bad.
Needless to say, the good thing is that the family tree can be opened on a separate page.
As for the reason for worry, because the hardware is not strong enough, the relationship with the Chen family is not strong enough. That is to say, Chen Yu'an, the number one scholar, is nominally enough to be the second-in-command in each government office, but his status alone is not enough. Network is indispensable.
This means that if it is not Chen Yu'an, but a top scholar from another wealthy family, as long as there are no mistakes in his official career, he will definitely become the second-in-command in various ministries and offices. If he makes some contributions and shines, he will become a minister in the future. It's not impossible. The status of the number one scholar in the first year of this dynasty is too valuable.
This is like Qing... Bah, it's like two graduates with the best grades from key universities graduated at the same time. One has a rich and powerful family, and the other grows potatoes. Let me ask, after five or ten years, which of the two achieves more? Higher?
Chen Yu'an is in this situation now. As the number one scholar, he will definitely receive a lot of care, avoid many detours, and lose a few years of experience, but that's all.
If he comes from the Zhao family, there is no need to think about it. As long as he works hard enough, it is not impossible to go up to the top.
"Chen Yu'an, twenty-four years old."
Han You spoke slowly: "Guanzheng Lang, three years. After all, he was born as a scholar, and the official department only cares about Brother Chen's face. Guanzheng only lasted for two years. Chen Yu'an was twenty-six years old at that time. After observing the administration, he will be transferred to the state capitals. Again, the officials will keep him in the capital for the sake of Brother Chen."
Chen Yongzhi nodded seriously and waited for the next step.
"The best way to stay in Beijing is to go to the Six Ministries and Nine Temples. The Nine Temples are not as good as the Six Ministries. Among the Six Ministries, the Ministry of War cannot enter, and the Ministry of Work and Punishment have no future. The best choice is the Ministry of Officials, Rites, and Husband. After all, they are the number one scholar. Lang, the three ministries will extend an olive branch, even if it is just a decoration, it is good, but this is also the first time that Brother Chen wants to exert his strength. Officials are better than etiquette, and etiquette is better than households."
Chen Yongzhi said nothing, raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, looking at Han You with burning eyes.
He knew that the drama was coming.
"Shu Cheng, even if you go to the Ministry of Personnel, you are still a Su Cheng. You must stay for at least three years. For the No. 1 Scholar, two years is enough. As you rise in this level, some small merits are enough. The officials of the Ministry of Personnel still have to do it. He knows how to sell Brother Chen’s face, at that time, Chen Yu’an was already twenty-eight years old.”
Han You focused his attention on Chen Yuan and continued: "At that time, your edges and corners have long been smoothed away. The best place to go is the Gong Kao Department. However, being the head of the Gong Kao Department is a dangerous path. If you do it well, you can make connections. If you do poorly, you will offend others. But since it is a merit examination department, it is impossible to rate all officials as excellent. Chen Yuan, you are a smart man. Your Majesty works hard to govern. No one can predict the changes in the court after six years. There is only one thing, I, Han. You can be sure that in the court, on the throne, His Majesty will not tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes. In this case, the Examiner will have a sharp eye to see everything. If you dare to protect anyone who has nothing but a meal, his Majesty will be fed up with it. I am disappointed in you, and your official career will stop here. But if you are very aware of the subtleties and cannot tolerate a grain of sand in your eyes, you will offend many people. When these people try to punish you, it will be a waste to His Majesty. It’s a small fight, Your Majesty won’t care about you.”
Having said this, Han You looked at Chen Yongzhi again: "And this time, it's your Chen Mansion. When Brother Chen made his last effort, he shielded Chen Yu'an from the wind and rain. As long as he passed the merit examination and became the sixth-rank chief, Chen Yu'an finally established a foothold in Beijing. Although the next three years were stable, there were no shortcuts. At that time, he was already thirty-two years old. He had been in charge for six years. He would not be able to do anything until he was thirty-eight years old. To reach the fifth rank, if Brother Chen spares no effort to pin the future of the Chen family on Chen Yu'an, he can only reach the fifth rank and have a place above the imperial court and in the Taiqian Palace."
Chen Yongzhi's breathing was a little rapid: "Why is it said that the Kung Fu Division is Brother Yu's last effort?"
"First, the Ministry of Punishment could make a family prosperous in the previous dynasty, but it had to be unconscionable. This dynasty cannot do it, because the emperor of this dynasty is His Majesty, and you will not offend anyone, which is the greatest help to Chen Yu'an. Second, Chen Yu'an had already joined the imperial court at that time, but he was just a member of the imperial court and had no right to speak. He still had to work hard to gain qualifications. With good luck, he became Yuanwailang. By then, he was already in his early forties. As for Brother Chen, I think it’s time to retire and return home.”
Chen Yongzhi sighed silently. Han You was right at all. Ever since he learned that Chen Yuan had become the number one scholar, at that moment, just a moment, he had already predicted what Chen Yuan would experience in the next twenty years, even if No matter how he thinks, how he plans, before he retires and returns to his hometown, Chen Yu'an can only be a doctor. Whether he can become a doctor or even the right minister depends on his own destiny.
Han You suddenly stood up, picked up a pile of yellow paper from Lu Baichuan's desk, came to Chen Yongzhi, placed the yellow paper on top, and smoothed out the wrinkles.
"When you retired and returned home, I was still in my prime. I am younger than your son. If Chen Yu'an can't make a mistake, I, Han You, will protect him. How about that?"
Han You looked at Chen Yongzhi with great solemnity: "If the Ministry of Punishment compiles labor laws and implements industrial laws, I am willing to take your son to take another path. I dare not say that I want to win the title of six ministers. At least I can bypass any offending tasks and rise to the top. "
Chen Yongzhi looked at the yellow paper with a gloomy expression on his face: "Brother Yu, I won't ask you how to ensure that the dog will be successful, but I will just tell you that if you implement your work rules, if you are not careful, my Chen family will be doomed..."
Having said this, Chen Yongzhi shook his head and kept shaking his head: "I, Chen Yongzhi, have a number one scholar in the Chen family. I accept your favor. If you can trust me in the future, I, Chen Yongzhi, will have nothing to say. Why don't we talk about political affairs today?" We just talk about how the romance is, and we drink, drink.”
"Okay, I won't force it."
There was no trace of disappointment on Han You's face as he put away the yellow paper and returned to his seat.
Regarding Chen Yongzhi's reaction, Han You was not surprised at all. Chen Yongzhi is a very "stable" person. In fact, most officials in Beijing are like this. probability, otherwise I would never take the risk.
At this moment, Chen Yuan suddenly stood up and knelt down in front of Han You.
"Please also ask the teacher to give guidance to the students...to guide the students!"
"You bastard!" Chen Yongzhi roared: "Back off."
"Dad!" Chen Yu'an turned his head, his eyes were wet, and he shouted hoarsely: "My child is not willing to give in. My child Hanchuang has studied hard for dozens... uh, studied hard for ten... uh. My child has studied hard for two and a half years. I am not willing to be satisfied. Stop at the position of Yuanwailang!"
Han You nodded secretly. After two and a half years, he should be at the top.
