Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

"Please."

"This old man is in his forties, so he won the exam."

"Oh, I'm still a senior, I'm sorry."

He said it was disrespectful, but Li Qianshi didn't show any respect on his face. For a person in his 40s who won the exam, what great promise does he have?Although there are officials in the [-]th and even [-]th grades, it is too late if they want to achieve something in the officialdom.

Of course, while answering, a vague feeling of uneasiness also surfaced in my heart. [

"Hehe, after winning the exam, the old man will go to Beijing to take the exam in the next year. Anyway, God gave me face this time, and I didn't make me suffer any setbacks. If I didn't pass the exam, I also passed the palace exam."

"It turned out to be the old man!"

This time, the expression on Li Qianshi's face became serious. Although the old man was a middle-aged man, he looked like he was almost [-] now. According to the rules of the officialdom and examination room, the Jinshi who won a previous match is the one who came later. Senior, I was an old senior three times ago, and the old man in front of me may have had a dozen or so games. This point of respect must be given, otherwise, people will be very unhappy when they hear it in the same year. Is there any old official?

In officialdom, it is most unwise to make enemies, because offending one may cause a whole bunch of troubles.

Of course, at the same time, Li Qianshi felt more and more uneasy in his heart.

"Don't dare, hehe, it's just a fluke."

"Where is the unknown old man?"

"Lucky to be second in first class."

This sentence rang in Li Qianshi's mind like thunder, and it exploded in his mind continuously, non-stop, and mercilessly.

His second-class No.17 is already a high ranking in the examination field. According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, when officials meet, they have to find out the bottom. First ask the name of the department, and then ask the official position. Senior, then ask about the ranking, if the subject name is at the top, the ranking is also excellent, even if the official position is behind, you can still take the seat.

This is the rule, the unbreakable rule.

First name, champion.Second, second place.Third, explore the flowers.

The No. [-] scholar in each subject left their winning articles and names. A hundred years later, when it comes to the No. [-] No. [-] scholar in each subject of the Ming Dynasty, there are still many people who can recite it and talk about it with relish.Although the second place in the list is weaker, it is strange to say that the number one scholar becomes a senior official in the cabinet is rare. Maybe the number one scholar has devoted his energy to academics, but the second place and Tanhua have produced many senior officials at the level of senior cabinet officials .

How many were ranked second in the Wanli period, and how many are still in the world, no need to think too much, the answer is ready to come out.

Only now did Li Qianshi understand where his uneasiness was.Although the old man in front of him has a beard and hair like silver, doesn't he still retain the characteristics of "iron face and sword eyebrows, beard and temples"?

"Perhaps Mr. Li already knows who this old man is?" Sun Chengzong lifted the long beard on his chin, and said with a smile: "Then there will be ten years of Hanlin, and Emperor Meng Guangzong will not give up. It is really a fluke for me to have been an emperor's student twice in this life, I am ashamed."

Knowing that the old man in front of him is a former scholar of the Dongge University, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Liaodong Economic Strategy, and was awarded the Young Master by two generations of emperors, Li Qianshi in front of him has already lifted the hem of his robe and knelt down. Behind him, All the attendants who had just insulted Sun Chengzong were stunned, and many of them opened their mouths wide open, like toads struck by lightning on a rainy day, they all froze for a while.

"Kowtow to the old man, please forgive the crime of being disrespectful!"

No matter how arrogant Li Qianshi is, there is still no possibility for him to retain the slightest arrogance in front of a famous official like Sun Chengzong... The status of the two is really far, far, far apart! [

"Please get up, please get up."

Sun Chengzong was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Those who don't know are not to blame. This old man also chatted about being a teenager and flirting with Mr. Li, but please don't blame him."

"Don't dare, the old man's words are too serious."

"Don't talk about it." Sun Chengzong restrained his smile, and said seriously: "Playing with the king is just to dissuade you from worrying. Zhang Shouren's young heart, it is really rude to leave just now. But the old man is here, so I can guarantee that he didn't do it on purpose. Indifference and rudeness, since you have come from a long distance, why bother to leave in arrogance? Don’t you feel disappointed, as an official, you should put the overall situation first, just now you said it to yourself, now I say it again, please be sure to keep it in mind.”

If it were someone else, even if Yan Qizu, the governor of Shandong, said that in person, Li Qianshi would still be able to walk away, but when Sun Chengzong said that, he could only listen obediently.

This is the benefit of a big brand and old qualifications.

"Well, since the old man said so, the next official will just wait here."

Although not so convinced, Li Qianshi's heart is much better.The dignified former Emperor Shige is here to suffer from the cold and drink the wind, so what else can he complain about?

As for why Sun Chengzong is here, I can understand after thinking about it. First of all, Sun Chengzong not only does not have the kind of arrogance in the bones of military generals, but on the contrary, Lao Suntou is the most supportive military general among the civil servants.

He proposed "emphasizing the power of generals" and opposed "generals from the center". His □ point of view is: "Today, the power of generals should be emphasized, and the one who is Shenxiong who has the master strategy will be given the axe. , don't let the civil servants stick to the mausoleum with their petty views."

This statement is simply deafening, and it is also what Zhang Shouren admires the old grandson the most.

According to the old man, the Ming army at that time was "there are too many soldiers without training, and too many salaries are not checked. In order to use soldiers, civil officials are used to recruit and train. In the shogunate, the side served as the scriptures and governors, while Ri Wenzhan guarded the court..."

That is to say, there is no military training, no salary verification, and the civil servants don't understand the affairs of the opposite side at all, but they like to point fingers, and they are complacent about their small opinion that they are superior to the frontier generals.

Many civil officials, after reading a few books on military affairs, thought that they had strategy in their hearts. The generals were not good at fighting because the generals were timid and the soldiers were afraid of death. Anyway, his command must be correct. The system of the Ming Dynasty was that civil servants commanded, and eunuchs were in charge of logistics. It's like a carriage, and the horses that pull it are generals.

Usually controlled and angry little daughter-in-law, she has to work hard in wartime. If she wins a great achievement, it belongs to others. If she loses, she must be the most unlucky. Let alone soldiers, generals don’t want to fight to the death. There is no reason.

Of course, the old grandson's character, opinions, and thoughts are very clear about Li Qian's matter in front of him.But respect is all respect, and it is absolutely impossible to ask Li Qianshi to agree with Mr. Sun Shaoshige's great insight.

Without it, it's a matter of position.

As a civil official against a civil official, even with Sun Chengzong's qualifications and prestige, didn't Chongzhen resign sadly in his early years?Ordinary petty officials who mentioned the old grandson's tricks would have died long ago without a place to bury them!
