Jinyi champion

Yang Shen said that he obeyed his father's words, but he still had some grudges in his heart, but he also knew that it was not that easy for the emperor to promote him.

As for why the new emperor wanted to add Zhu Hao to the list...he didn't have the time to think about it right now, he just felt that his father was delaying his future.

Yang Shen, who returned to his yard, looked lonely.

Dark night.

Yang Shen didn't want to go into the room to rest, so he sat on the stone bench next to the flower table in the courtyard and thought about things. After a while, a woman in her twenties with a beautiful appearance, virtuous and quiet temperament came out from the room, bowed and saluted.

"Why are you so sad?"

The woman spoke softly, with a bookish air, giving people a mature and intellectual feeling.

This person is Yang Shen's stepwife Huang E.

Huang E is a talented woman in Sichuan, and she has left a great reputation in history books. Her father, Huang Ke, was once an official to the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, and she was an old friend with Yang Tinghe.

Yang Shen married Huang E, who was [-] years old in the [-]th year of Zhengde, after the death of her original wife, Wang Shi, in the [-]th year of Zhengde. Talented and beautiful, but later Yang Shen was exiled to Yunnan due to the Zuoshunmen incident. Huang E was not allowed to go back to Xindu, Sichuan, Yang Shen's hometown. Only when Yang Shen returned to his hometown to attend his father's funeral did the two meet.

From then on until Yang Shen passed away, the husband and wife never got together again, and the husband and wife spent no more than five years together during this period.

Yang Shen is a talented scholar of the Ming Dynasty, recognized as the number one poet of the Ming Dynasty, and Huang E is also a talented woman of the generation. The two became a good story in the history of the Ming Dynasty because they were separated forever in the second half of their lives.

Yang Shen glanced at his wife, shook his head and sighed softly: "It's nothing."

Yang Shen felt distressed, he really wanted to take a step forward in his official career, seeing that those who were in the same discipline as him in the past have now entered the middle ranks of the imperial court, while he was only compiling for historians like Yu Chengxun and Zhu Hao in the Imperial Academy , I still do errands and odd jobs for my father, so it is inevitable that I am a little sad.

Huang E said: "If your husband's career is not going well, you can take a proper rest and refresh your mind; if your family affairs are not going well, it's because the concubine has failed to fulfill her responsibilities, and I hope my husband will punish you."

Seeing his wife being so considerate, Yang Shen forced a smile, shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with you."

While talking, there was a knock on the door.

The servant girl went over to look at it and came back to report, "It's the second son."

Yang Dun came to meet him, Yang Shen didn't care about anything else, let his wife enter the room to escape, and he left the hospital to talk to Yang Dun.

……

……

"You're not in your room preparing for the next year's Beijing exam, and you still have the mind to go out?" Yang Shen couldn't lift his head in front of his father, but in front of his younger brother, he was aloof.

Among his peers, Yang Shen has the best future, the number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty, and a world-recognized talent. Of course, he is qualified to teach his younger brother in the tone of an older brother.

In addition, Yang Dun is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp. He usually has countless peach blossom debts caused by going outside, and he has caused a lot of troubles in the past, a bit like their uncle Yang Tingyi.

Yang Dun raised the lantern in his hand to mid-air, looked at Yang Shen's tense face, and said with a smile, "Brother's sad face, is something unhappy? I went to see my father, I know reason,"

"Father asked you to come?" Yang Shen frowned.

"right."

...

After Yang Dun finished speaking, he was about to rush in the door. He didn't mind at all that this was the courtyard where his elder brother lived, and there were female relatives inside. He wanted to see if his famous sister-in-law was inside, and kept saying, "Father is afraid of you. I'm thinking wildly, let me tell you, it's true that His Majesty is lying about you and Zhu Jingdao's promotion, and it's true that he wants to transfer you out...By the way, big brother, why haven't you seen my sister-in-law recently? My little brother still wants to recite poems against her."

Yang Shen saw his younger brother looking like a fool, with a frivolous smile on his face, and he mentioned his wife again, and immediately became angry.

In terms of age, Yang Dun was much older than Huang E, and Yang Dun was very indiscreet in matters of men and women, so that Yang Shen subconsciously felt a little hatred for his younger brother.

What's more, because his father didn't tell him about some things, he asked Yang Dun to tell him... Doesn't his father care about the face of his eldest son at all?

this kind of thing always loses face

But the father didn't seem to care about anything, and wanted to let the world know that his eldest son was resentful because his official career was not going well.

"The next year's Beijing exam is only half a year away. As far as I know, your preparation for the exam is so-so, so don't say you are ranked first. Even if you get a title on the gold list, it is very difficult. If you don't even have the slightest desire to learn, how can you enter the imperial court?" official?"

What Yang Shen meant, brother, you don't know yourself well.

Come here to make fun of your elder brother?

No matter how bad it is, I am also a number one scholar, and I am currently working in the Imperial Academy, but what are you?
Yang Dun looked back, curled his lips in disdain: "I know that you are fine and like to teach others, okay, okay, I will definitely be named on the gold list next year, I still have this confidence. But you, big brother... I hope you will I can still stay in the capital, instead of being transferred to another place by His Majesty, otherwise it will be difficult for our brothers to sit down and discuss things. Sigh!"

The more Yang Shen listened, the more annoyed he became.

Yang Dun turned around and left, carrying a lantern, staggering and staggering, as if he had just had a drink, and a teasing voice came faintly: "In the end, I went to the Hanlin Academy, but you disappeared. It's boring to think about it... Actually It’s better for you, big brother, to do this job, it’s really frustrating.”

……

……

Yang Shen could tell that Yang Dun was full of confidence in being a Jinshi and even entering the Imperial Academy.

Where does a person with poor talent and no reputation in the literary world have any confidence?Or, who gave him this confidence?

Could it be the father?
Yang Shen knew very well that Yang Tinghe often used extreme methods in order to cultivate cronies in the court. Maybe Yang Tinghe felt that having his son in the court was not enough, so why should Yang Dun be added as a double insurance?
Especially when Yang Shen felt that he was being treated poorly by his father, this kind of thinking was bred even more, and there was a kind of grief and indignation of falling out of favor in front of Lao Tzu.

The next day when Yang Shen arrived at the Hanlin Academy, Yu Chengxun wanted to invite him to drink, but Yang Shen refused.

Yang Shen found Zhu Hao and talked about the rumors in the Imperial Academy.

"Of course I heard about it, and I don't know why His Majesty put me on the same rank as Brother Yongxiu... But, what does it have to do with me?" Zhu Hao looked very wronged.

Yang Shen said: "Don't worry, I don't think anything will happen. Your Majesty's move is just an excuse to transfer us out of the capital and remove his thorn in his flesh."

...

Zhu Hao smiled wryly, "Am I that important?"

Seeing Zhu Hao like this, Yang Shen suddenly felt better. It turned out that he was not the only number one scholar targeted. Now that he had his father's backing, he had no problem staying in the Imperial Academy. On the contrary, it was Zhu Hao, whose future was uncertain.

"Last year when discussing the big ceremony, you stood up and married Sun Butang's daughter. This time, in your daily lectures, you are always mocking His Majesty for seeking money. The future is bleak!"

When Yang Shen said this, his heart became more and more comfortable.

Yes.

If you want to offend the emperor, you have to count Zhu Hao.

He robbed the emperor for a woman, and even took the lead in negotiating big gifts, and confronted the emperor tit-for-tat in daily talks...

When you are in a bad mood, find someone who may end up in a more miserable situation than yourself to compare, and you will feel much more comfortable.

Zhu Hao snorted twice: "Then should I commit suicide to apologize?"

"Okay, okay..."

Yang Shen didn't want to waste much time with Zhu Hao, and said: "This time, Your Majesty intends to make a fuss about the Imperial Academy, which seems to have a deep meaning. But now in the Imperial Academy, there is only one person... from your hometown, you may wish to communicate with him more when you have time Take a look and see what's wrong."

Hey, it's time to delegate again!

Zhu Hao knew that the person Yang Shen was talking about was his elder brother Sun Yuan.

In the Hanlin Academy, only Sun Yuan and Zhu Hao came from Anlu Prefecture, and Sun Yuan's father was the Minister of the Household Department, and the emperor personally invited him to be an official from Anlu. Emperor's man...

Of course, this point is debatable, because Sun Jiao never said that he was on the side of the new emperor.

Zhu Hao said: "What are you asking him for? Is it too much?"
Ever... make a fuss over a molehill? "

Isn't it because the emperor wanted Tang Yin to enter the Imperial Academy?
Or do you want to add another person to the cabinet?
Make all the plants and trees become soldiers!

Now Sun Yuan, who can't even get involved in this matter, must be strictly guarded?Zhu Hao felt that Yang Shen was simply oversensitive.

Probably now Yang Shen can't find the "shadow staff" in the new emperor's faction, and wants to find clues from various angles, and at the same time prevent someone from contributing to the new emperor.

From Zhu Hao's point of view, Yang Shen is using Yang Tinghe's chicken feather as an arrow to regard himself as the head of the Imperial Academy?
Yang Shen said: "Your Majesty can use or want to use people, or they are in the Imperial Academy."

Zhu Hao thought to himself, you are really right.

Isn't it me?
Zhu Hao asked, "Is it possible that they are in the Southern Imperial Academy?"

"Um!?"

Yang Shen was about to go back to the editing room, but when he heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Zhu Hao, then shook his head, "In the Southern Imperial Academy, most of them are students of my father, so there will be no problem."

These words clearly revealed some information.

As a person who is familiar with history, Zhu Hao certainly knows who will make waves in Ming Dynasty in the future.

For example, in the Southern Imperial Academy... the person who is currently in charge of the academy as a servant of the Nanjing Imperial Academy is Yan Song, the later generation of female cadres who have power over the government and the public.

Yan Song is over [-] years old, but this matter is still [-] years away from his success. Yan Song is truly old-fashioned. Even if Zhu Hao thinks that he has a strong relationship with the new emperor, he has to think about how to go in the future.

Yan Song, do you want to guard against it?

Even if one hits Yan Song, will there be a second one?
Those who later became famous in the court, such as Xia Yan who is now in the court, or Xu Jie and others who have not entered the court... Do you want to pull them into your camp?

Seeing that Zhu Hao's expression changed, Yang Shen asked, "Jingdao, what do you think about what Jin Shi said?"

Zhu Hao smiled and shook his head: "I don't know enough about my ability and information, I can't make a name for myself, but I'm interested in leaving the Imperial Academy and going to other places to perform my duties. You also said that I offended His Majesty and stayed in the capital. There is nothing big to do, why do you want to go to the mountain when you know that there are tigers in the mountains? Wouldn’t it be better to recognize the status quo and realize your political ambitions as soon as possible?”
