Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 346
Su Chen and Liu Xiajiang talked all the way in the car, and the communication was smooth. After the incident of Cha Yuanshang's murder, they got closer to each other.

The three scholars also felt that the imperial court had no backer connections. Even if they could pass the imperial examinations, it would be difficult for them to develop their official careers.

Because according to the distribution of Jinshi in the past, first-class Jinshi will enter the Hanlin Academy, and some second-class Jinshi will stay in the capital to serve as officials, and some will be assigned to serve in various state capitals.As for the top three Jinshi, except for a few who will be dispatched, the rest of them are likely to have to wait for vacancies.

If there is no suitable place to fill the vacancy, he will always be idle at home, unless there is a code of conduct from top to bottom, and the officials of the official department may be bribed, and the vacancy may be filled in advance.

Jiang Tao, Liu Dong, and Xia Baosong are all from poor families, without power and influence, and belong to the poor family of scholars. Naturally, they have no money to give gifts, and they have no solid connections to help them speak out. Now they are being targeted by the Cha family and the Song party. The three of them also understood that they had to rely on Su Chen's line.

Jiang Tao is not as learned as Liu Dong and Xia Baosong, but he is flexible enough to be a man. He took the initiative to suggest: "Mr. Su's knowledge is amazing, he is highly praised by scholars in the Tang Dynasty, and he also understands medical skills and the principles of studying things. There is a saying in the past." There is no before and after, the one who is master is the teacher." I admire Mr. Su's talent and learning very much, and I plan to worship under Mr. Su's school and become a disciple. I don't know what Mr. Su wants?"

He said that, in fact, seeking knowledge is only one aspect, and on the other hand, he has the heart of pursuing an official career. He is optimistic that Su Chen is a stock with great potential, and he will definitely become a celebrity in the court in the future. !
Liu Dong and Xia Baosong frowned when they heard the words, but they soon understood the deep meaning of this matter. Although they would be self-degraded, they did admire Su Chen's talent, even if they really wanted to be a teacher, they could accept it.

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Jiang Tao to make such a suggestion, these three people were obviously a few years older than him, it was a bit unexpected for him to recognize him as a teacher.

However, the ancients did pay attention to this, and it doesn't have to be older than the students. As long as the talents are amazing enough, the elders will come to learn from the teacher.

But Su Chen doesn't have an imperial examination yet, and he is in the same class as them, if he fails in a day and the three of them become Jinshi, wouldn't it be easy to slap him in the face?
Moreover, Su Chen also wanted to keep a low profile, otherwise he would always be targeted and murdered every step of the way, it would be more and more difficult to deal with.

Su Chen declined and said: "Well, Su is still young, has no Jinshi degree, and has a great reputation, so his status is not enough to accept students, as the saying goes, "There is a priority in learning, and there is a specialization in medical skills"; I am only interested in medical skills. He just happened to have research on writing lyrics. In other respects, his knowledge may not be as solid as that of the three. Therefore, we can just discuss with each other. If the three of you really want to find someone with senior experience as a teacher, I plan to introduce Peng Fuyin to the three. As Master Peng's disciple, it will be of great help to let him point out your doubts in the imperial examination."

When he said this, it was tantamount to rejecting his request to be the mentor of the three, but recommended Peng Zhifu, and the relationship between them could also be strengthened.

After all, everyone knows that Peng Qingqing and Su Chen are engaged in a marriage contract, and that Governor Peng is about to become Su Chen's father-in-law. The three of them have worshiped under Peng Zeliang's sect, and with the advice from Governor, their official careers will be more secure. The purpose can also be achieved.

Jiang Tao, Xia Baosong, and Liu Dong pondered for a while, looked at each other, and felt that this proposal was not bad. It was indeed a bit embarrassing for them to directly worship under Su Chen's sect, but it made sense for them to become the disciples of Jiangning Mansion Governor Peng Zeliang.

"That's fine, I asked Mr. Su to recommend it for us."

"We also admire Mr. Peng's knowledge and ability to be an official. It is an honor for me to be a student of Mr. Peng."

The three echoed and agreed to the proposal.

Su Chen nodded and said: "Okay, after lunch, let's go directly to Peng's residence and wait, and we can finish this matter today."

"Very good!"

"Thank you Su Gongzi!"

From now on, the three of them will stand on Su Chen's side, advancing and retreating with him.

Half an hour later, the car that Su Chen and others took arrived at one of the largest restaurants in Jinling, Fengming Tower!

The name is taken from the allusion of the poem "Climbing the Phoenix Terrace of Jinling" by Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty, "The Phoenix swims on the Phoenix Terrace, and the Phoenix goes to the platform to empty the river to flow. Bailuzhou is divided into two waters. Floating clouds can always cover the sun, and the absence of Chang’an makes people worry." This famous article through the ages is filled with a profound and broad atmosphere, which makes Li Bai observe the past and read the present, and control the world in an instant. And detached from things, swaying freely.

Because this poem is so famous, it is known to all ages in Jinling, so the owner of the restaurant used the word "Feng" in it to refer to Fengming Tower.

This building is not a single building. In addition to a four-story main building, there are left and right auxiliary buildings and a backyard attic, forming a building complex that integrates catering, accommodation, and appreciation of singing and dancing.

Bailang parked his car on the street in front of Fengming's main building, Su Chen, Jiang Tao, and Liu Dong got out of the carriage, and looked up at the towering restaurant with its gorgeous decorations.

Jiang Tao said nervously: "Mr. Su, the dishes and drinks in this restaurant are not cheap!"

Su Chen smiled and said: "It's okay, I have a business workshop in Runzhou, and the money is enough, so let's eat and drink at noon today."

When the three of them heard the words, they all showed delighted expressions.

As the host of the banquet, Su Chen took the lead without hesitation, and walked to the entrance of Fengming Tower.

.........

On the third floor of the ancillary building of Fengming Building, at the window of the private room, stood a guard with a sword in his hand, overlooking the scene below, he said in surprise: "My lord, that young man in the blue and white shirt seems to be Su Chen! "

A young man in white got up and walked over. His face was like a crown of jade, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes. He was extremely handsome, comparable to a stunning beauty.

The young man in white glanced down, and saw Su Chen leading Jiang Tao and the others towards the gate.

"Why did he come here to drink too?" The young man in white was also a little curious.

The guard holding the sword is Wei Ying, who is from the Kingdom of Shu and is a powerful swordsman in the envoy.

"My lord, this Su Chen is said to be extremely talented, and he knows how to investigate things and do business. He knows almost everything. Should we take him back to our Shu Kingdom? Maybe he has a way to deal with the Song army's invasion?"

The young man in white shook his head and said, "His talents are only writing poetry, medical skills, and making porcelain. These are of little use to the precarious and precarious Shu Kingdom."

Weiying was silent for a while, and then said: "My lord, according to reports from outside the city, the envoys of the Song Dynasty have arrived thirty miles away, and they will be able to enter Jinling City tomorrow. There will be soldiers and horses from Runzhou guarding them along the way. Our people can't do it, so we can only find an opportunity to do it in Jinling."

The young man in white nodded and said: "Forget it, our envoys from the Shu Kingdom have been in Jinling for ten days, but they have not been summoned and have been prevaricated. Since that weak Li Yu refuses to see us, let the envoys of the Song Dynasty die In Jinling City, Li Yu is forced to form an alliance with our Shu Kingdom!"
