The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 261

Both Wang Hua and Xie Qian are well versed in the unspoken rules in officialdom.

Accustomed to intrigue, hypocrisy and deception, Xie Shen's appearance is like a breeze blowing away the haze in the court.

*********, *****.

In Wang Hua's view, this can be compared with Fan Wenzheng's "worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later", and Yu Qian and Yu Tingyi of the current dynasty "don't be afraid of being smashed to pieces, and want to stay innocent in the world".

Such talents are worthy of being cultivated as ministers of the humerus of the court.

"Brother Dehui, do you feel that you didn't have a daughter, or else you can snatch Xie Xiuzhuan to be your son-in-law?"

Xie Qian was obviously in a good mood, and even made a rare joke about Wang Hua.

Wang Hua clapped his hands and smiled when he heard the words: "Then Wang doesn't dare, brother Yuanyi shouldn't be in a hurry with me."

"Brother Lai Yuanyi has been recuperating in Songjiang Mansion for several months since he contracted wind disease, and I don't know how he will recover." Xie Qian is obviously still quite concerned about this fellow from the same province as the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Wang Hua sighed and said, "Wind disease is extremely difficult to recover from. Brother Yuanyi's illness. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to make further progress in his official career."

Xie Qian nodded silently.To achieve their position, it is natural to understand that there are only a few prominent positions in the court.

In addition to the five halls, the six ministers, and the Zuodu censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Xu Guan's age is not young, and he had the opportunity to be a candidate for the Minister of Industry this time, but a sudden wind disease ruined everything.

Xu Guan is getting old, and after missing this opportunity, it will be extremely difficult to make up for Shangshu.

Of course, the most important thing for Xu Guan now is to take good care of his body, and the rest can be put aside for a while.

"Brother Dehui, I believe Brother Yuanyi has his own destiny. When he recovers, His Majesty will entrust him with a heavy responsibility."

The two chatted for a while, and when it was time for dinner, Wang Hua simply left Xie Qian to eat together.

Xie Qian didn't mean to shirk and readily agreed.

Compared with Wang Hua, Xie Qian is more elegant and pays more attention to various etiquette.

Therefore, when eating slowly, even a piece of bamboo shoots must be lightly wiped and picked.On the other hand, Wang Hua is feasting on it.

This is also reflected in the way they act, Wang Hua acts resolutely and Xie Qian always thinks about making moves again and again.

At this moment, neither of them would have thought that a young fellow from a poor family would absorb the strengths of the two of them and become a key figure who would influence the court for decades to come.

But this is gossip, so let's not talk about it for the time being.

Bamboo shakes clear shadows covering the secluded windows, and birds are noisy at sunset every two hours.

Xie but Haitang flew all the way, and the sleepy weather was getting longer at the beginning of the day.

Looking at the lush and green bamboos outside the window of the office, Xie Shen was in a quite cheerful mood.

It was the end of May at this time, and it had been more than a month since the compilation of the "Congress Code", and the originally quiet Imperial Academy Office became busy.

Recently, many Qingliu officials came to Xu Manor and Hanlin Academy to pay a visit to Xie Shen, most of them were idlers of the sixth or seventh rank.

These people who came to visit Xie Xiuzhuan were basically because of the phrase "********,********."

Xie Shen was also happy, and did not reject it.

He intended to use this poem to wake up Emperor Hongzhi, but he never thought that he would inadvertently give him a lot of prestige.

What is the most important thing for officials of the Imperial Academy?It's not money, it's not beauty, it's not those shady goofs behind the scenes, the most important thing is prestige!
With prestige, one can enjoy Jane's privileges in the emperor's heart, and even if it is difficult to get ahead for a while, sooner or later she will rise to the top.

The current Xie Shen is like a green and slender bamboo, noble beyond words.

As the number one scholar in the ninth year of Hongzhi and the editor of the Hanlin Academy, he defended Wang Hua in a memorial; he won the praise of almost the entire scholarly circle with a poem.

Xie Shen's career in officialdom is very straightforward.

Many officials with a keen sense of smell came to the Imperial Academy one after another, hoping to get thick legs before Xie Xiuzhuan's complete fortune, so that he could be called a "friend of the reckless" in the future.

Even Liu Jian, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, praised Xie Shen a lot. Counting carefully, there are actually two elders in the cabinet who openly praised Xie Qian. This son really has a bright future.

Xie Shen inspected the office this day, and saw that his colleagues were all doing their part to look up classics and write excerpts, so he walked out of the office with his hands behind his back and went to the back garden of the Imperial Academy in satisfaction.

It was the turn of May and June, and the pond in the back garden of the Imperial Academy was in full bloom. Xie Shen walked to the side of the pond, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Just when Xie Shen rarely took a break, a familiar voice rang beside his ear.

"Xie Xiuzhuan is very elegant."

Xie Shen couldn't help frowning, he didn't need to turn around to know that the person who said this must be the classmate Zhu Xi Zhou Zhu who lost the champion.

"Why, does Zhu Tongnian also want to enjoy the lotus?"

Xie Shen smiled lightly.

Zhu Xi Zhou Lang said: "A few days ago, Xie Xiuzhuan bluntly said the book, which only increased the reputation of the Imperial Academy. Zhu admired it. Today I want to ask for some poetry."

how?Does this guy not turn back if he hits the south wall?

Do you really want to compete in poetry?
Xie Shen suppressed his surprise, and said calmly, "I don't dare to ask for advice. I don't know what subject Zhu Tongnian wants to compare?"

Low-key also depends on when, others are arrogantly riding on the face, if you swallow your anger again, it is not low-key, it is cowardly!

Zhu Xizhou was overjoyed when he heard the words.He obviously came prepared, waved his hands and said: "The lotus is in full bloom today, why not use the lotus as the theme?"

Seeing that Zhu Xizhou opened his mouth and clicked on the topic of competition, Xie Shen's heart sank.

At any rate, this Zhu Xizhou was also the No. [-] scholar in the ninth year of Hongzhi in history, and he must have two brushes.Leaving aside Shiwen, if he is willing to compete in this poem, he must have something to offer.

Under the condition of limiting the topic, Xie Shen can only write good poems, which invisibly narrowed the gap for Zhu Xizhou.

It does not rule out the possibility that Zhu, who knows his shame, will bravely write peerless poems.

This is actually not difficult to understand. In history, the imperial examination in the ninth year of Hongzhi was regarded as a young year of the imperial examination, and there were no big names like Wang Hua and Xie Qian.

But no matter how young you are, it is also an imperial examination to select talents from all over the world, and its importance is self-evident.

The appearance of Xie Shen changed the details of history and made the pretentious classmate Zhu squeezed out of the top three. He absolutely cannot accept it.

Of course, the results of the palace examination, especially the results of the former ones, largely depend on the emperor's mind.

After all, the chief examiner is the emperor, and the ranking of Jinshi is naturally decided by the emperor.

But Zhu Xizhou doesn't think so, he just thinks that Xie Shen is a vain person, and this guy steals the top spot.

You must know that there is still a big difference between Hanlin Xiuzhuan and Shujishi. Zhu Xizhou will intern in the Hanlin Academy for three years. In these three years, he will lose not only work experience, but also contacts!

Networks are accumulated through contacts, and the accumulation of contacts is naturally different depending on the depth of contacts. Right now, student Zhu has suffered from the lack of grades.
