The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 157: All kinds of attitudes at the banquet ([-])
It can be seen that Eunuch Liu is still very vigilant, but it is indeed a bit strange for a young boy to appear on an occasion like the Fengfeng Banquet, so it is no wonder that Eunuch Liu asked a question.

"It turned out to be Lord Chen's student, so it's no wonder he has a dignified appearance."

Mrs. Liu listened to Chen Fangyin's explanation, and looked at Xie Shen with more tenderness.Being stared at by a eunuch with such a smile, Xie Shen felt a little chilly, but it was not easy to have a fit, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

And this eunuch Liu is too dumb to speak, what do you mean by "I am Master Chen's student, why is he so handsome?" This Mr. Chen is not his father, so how does his Xie Shen's appearance have anything to do with Mr. Chen?
dead eunuch, what a dead eunuch
Secretly slandered a few words, but Xie Shen had to act humble on the face, listening to the teachings of the "elder" eunuch Liu.

The confrontation between scholars and eunuchs in the Hongzhi Dynasty was not as sharp as it was in the late Ming Dynasty.The large-scale confrontation between the eunuch party and the Donglin party is far from happening.

If this is the case, there is already a faint tendency to confront, and many officials who are close to the eunuch are rejected by their colleagues, and even participated by the censor.However, these are small-scale sporadic incidents, and their influence is really limited.

The difficulty of officialdom is more difficult than going to the blue sky.The difficulty is not only the difficulty of being an official, but also the difficulty of choosing.One wrong step, one wrong step, and no chance of turning back.

"Grand Liu is overrated."

Xie Shen has been a human being in two lifetimes, and he can do what he should have on the surface.

Eunuch Liu said a few more polite words, nothing more than to encourage Xie Shen to study hard, pass the Jinshi examination as soon as possible and enter the court as an official, so as to relieve His Majesty's worries.

Depending on where you are, your position will naturally be different.

Eunuch Liu is a member of the inner court, so naturally he has to think of the emperor in every way.As for scholars like Xie Shen, they focus more on the community.The line between these two points is a little fuzzy, but not quite the same.

After a brief chat with Eunuch Liu, Xie Shen followed Chen Fangyin back to his seat.

After sitting down, the boy let out a long breath.

Although I have already prepared and said the words in my mind several times, I still feel nervous when I actually say it.After all, the person standing in front of him was a powerful eunuch, and he would definitely overwhelm Xie Shen in terms of momentum.

Fortunately, Xie Shen's performance was quite satisfactory, not outstanding, but he did not lose points.

There will be many more opportunities like this in the future, and we can sharpen them a lot.

But the more important thing is the rural examination two years later. After all, one's background in the imperial examination is hard power.If you can't come up with a Jinshi background, what can you do if you meet again?He spends a lot of time playing around, but his foundation is more than one level worse than others. Talking about the circle of contacts is simply ridiculous.

If you are not in the same circle, even if you can get in touch with the so-called big shots, they will only be used as pawns.

Being in the officialdom, in fact, as long as you understand a little, you can bring benefits to others.

This is a person's core competitiveness.

The gap between rookies and masters in the officialdom is also seen here.Rookies in the officialdom often think about what they can get, but veterans must first think about what benefits they can bring to others.

It's not that all things need to be exchanged, but the general idea is always the same.

Take eunuch Liu's going to Hangzhou to take up his post as an example. The reason why he didn't stop all the way was to get to Hangzhou as quickly as possible.

This is for the sake of the emperor, for the sake of the emperor.As soon as the decree is given, as a subject, he will execute it immediately. This is respect for the imperial power.

The interests of the emperor are guaranteed, and the interests of eunuch Liu are also guaranteed.

Take it in advance, give it first.

Those who ask the other party how to cooperate with them when they come up will probably be hit hard.

While Xie Shen was thinking to himself, officials big and small took turns to toast Eunuch Liu in order to make him familiar.

Only Pei Chang, the inspector censor, didn't get up, but drank by himself.

Xie Shen was not surprised by this.After all, the responsibilities of the inspector censor and the guardian eunuch are similar, and the division of powers and responsibilities is not clear.The two of them share the responsibility of monitoring local officials. If they get too close, they will inevitably be caught by someone who wants to make a big fuss.

Since the emperor sent patrol censors and guardian eunuchs to monitor local officials, he just didn't want to listen to the family.

Otherwise, if only one person is stationed, and that person is still colluding with the local officials, and there is a nest of snakes and rats, wouldn't the way of speaking be blocked?
The emperor sits in the hall, and it is impossible to know everything that is thousands of miles away.If the supervisory officials were all in collusion with the local officials, the emperor would really lose all channels of information and become deaf and blind.

The inspector censor represents the foreign ministers, and the guardian eunuch represents the internal eunuchs.

If there are two checks and balances, no one will boldly collude with local officials in an attempt to deceive the emperor.

Taking a step back, even if one of the two dared to do this, the other could find out in time, and immediately wrote a memorial and sent it to the capital for submission to the Emperor Yulan.

The emperor's eyes and ears are not so easy to do. He has to monitor the officials and be willing to be the target of being stared at.

So from Pei Chang's point of view, it was the most correct choice for him not to make friends with Eunuch Liu.If he went to show his favor to eunuch Liu like other officials, not to mention what other officials would think, he would have already lost points in the heart of the emperor.

The emperor has a principle in his heart, and no one wants to artificially make this principle deviate.

Xie Shen secretly observed and learned a lot.Sometimes it is rare to be confused, but being confused is a manifestation of great wisdom.

It is said that Jane is in the heart of the emperor, not that it is necessary to create a big event for the emperor to remember, but to make the emperor feel at ease.

If everyone is vying to engage in big events and create sensational effects, then it is not what the emperor wants to see.

Pei Chang was able to inspect the censor, so his comprehension was naturally superior.He had to come to this banquet. If he didn't come, he would show disrespect to eunuch Liu. Such offending things cannot be done.But when they came, they couldn't get too close to Eunuch Liu. The best situation would be to be inseparable as they are now.

Eunuch Liu is not stupid, and he must be able to understand Pei Chang's intentions.The two played a double reed for the officials to reassure them and reassure the emperor who is thousands of miles away in the palace.

Xie Shen knew that Emperor Hongzhi's attitude towards eunuchs had changed several times.

At the beginning of his accession to the throne, the lord of ZTE suppressed the eunuchs vigorously, but after a period of time, he found that without the eunuchs' checks and balances, the civil servants were really difficult to control, so he reused some eunuchs to divide the power of the civil servants.

To sum it up in one sentence, Emperor Hongzhi's imperial mind has become more and more proficient. Under this background, if anyone engages in the matter of embracing the United Party, it would be too long to work against the emperor.
