Every day I want to quit my job and farm

After a few people sat down for a while, they packed up and went back.Qiao Ke sent someone to send Zhao Li's mother and daughter home, and he and Shen Xi returned home.Shen Yu was very happy today, and when he got home, he held Shen You high.Shen You was lifted up as if flying, giggling non-stop.

"Husband, Qionglin banquet..." Qiao Ke wanted to ask Shen Hao what he planned to do, but changed his words again, "Do you need to prepare anything for you?"

"What are you preparing..." Shen Xi thought about it, then smiled, "I have prepared a surprise for you, just wait and receive it."

surprise?I don't know whether to be surprised or happy.Qiao Ke pursed his lips and smiled, no matter what it is, we will know tomorrow.

The next day, after the morning court, there will be the Qionglin Banquet, and it is rare that Shen Hao no longer wants to run out of the palace all the time.The weather was fine, Shen Xie, Shen Buhuo, and Shen Buzhi chatted and went to Qionglin Garden.Meeting the third prince on the way, he joked, "Don't Bufan jump out of the palace like a rabbit today?"

The third prince, Zheng Lin, was accompanied by a few ministers, and Shen Hao smiled meaningfully: "Who makes the palace more lively today than outside the palace?"

Upon hearing this, everyone knew that Shen Xi would not be too quiet at the Qionglin Banquet.But I don't know what will happen.

After speaking, Shen Xi took his two younger brothers and left first.Shen Buhuo looked back at Zheng Lin: "Brother, Qionglin Banquet..."

"Second brother, third brother, why do you two want to participate in the Qionglin Banquet instead of the Luming Banquet in Wuju?" Shen Zhuo patted one of the shoulders with one hand, "There are more people who know how to write than those who know how to fight. Brother will teach you a lesson. Keep it for your whole life."

"Brother, I will listen to you." Shen Buzhi patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, I will never hold you back."

Shen Buhuo was very worried: "Brother, what exactly do you want to do? At least let us know in advance."

"What's the point, you can test your abilities by adapting to the situation, right?" In fact, Shen Xie himself only had a general idea and no specific plan at all. "Whether it's on the battlefield or in the court, it's better to change the plan, understand?"

I understand, I understand, Shen Buhuo glanced at Shen Yu from the corner of his eyes, and he was worried that his elder brother would do something out of the ordinary.And he coped wrong.

"Well, brother is right." Shen Bujiu nodded hastily, and then smiled cheerfully, "Second and third uncles will participate in the Luming Banquet, so we will go to the Qionglin Banquet with you. Second Uncle asked us to learn from you, saying that we It will definitely pay off.”

Looking at Shen Buzhi's shining and adoring eyes, why did Shen Xi not know when the third brother became his fanboy.There are some things that he really can't do by himself, he thought for a moment and put his hands on the shoulders of his two younger brothers: "We brothers should find a chance to have a long talk."

"Okay." Shen casually agreed.Shen Buhuo sighed in his heart, could he refuse?impossible.

The three of them came to Qionglin Garden, where the eunuchs and maids had already set up tables, chairs and delicacies.Shen Xi randomly found a place to sit down, looked up and found that there was an apricot blossom forest not far away, and the patches were really beautiful.With the blue sky above the head, the exquisite palace on the side, and the apricot grove as companions, it is indeed a beautiful thing to drink and have fun here.Shen Xi picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine, and had a drink first, it was really good.

A breeze blows, blowing slices of apricot petals, and one of the petals falls into the wine glass in Chen Xi's hand.At this time, a group of new scholars came and wrote poems to praise the beautiful scenery in front of them, and they were very flattering to Shen Xi.Shen Xi put down his wine glass, unable to understand...

All Jinshi saluted the ministers who had come here, and especially paid a solemn visit to Shen Xi.Shen Xi politely asked them to take their seats without courtesy.

Shen Buji sat next to Shen Xie, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, these scholars are really comfortable boasting."

No matter how comfortable it is, it is flattering, and there is no difference in essence.Shen Hao didn't want to get drunk, so he asked someone to replace the wine with hot tea.Shen Buji is a drinker who never gets drunk, and Shen Buhuo can drink a lot, they drink better than tea.Before all the people arrived, they had already drank away.

Seeing Hong Yan and his group approaching from a distance, Shen Xi took a sip of tea.It's not that he is partial, but Hong Yan and the others are indeed outstanding.

Hong Yan and his entourage went to Shen Xi to salute and say hello.Xu Xie stepped forward with a smile: "Teacher, the students live up to their mission."

The movement of drinking tea paused, and Shen Xi remembered that ancient times were very particular about appreciating teachers, and it seemed that there would be some kind of teacher appreciating ceremony.Thinking about it makes it troublesome... Shen Xie sighed in his heart, and beckoned Xu Xie to sit beside him.Hong Yan and the others also found the nearest seat to sit down.

He poured the tea himself and handed it to Xu Xie. Shen Xi wanted to test Xu Xie: "Tell me what kind of article you wrote that deserves to be explored."

Xu Xie took the tea with both hands, and was very happy to discuss his article.Many Jinshi around came to listen and sometimes asked questions.

Only Shen Xi drank tea slowly, and didn't seem to listen much.Hongyan smiled when she saw Shen Xie's expression, probably half-understood.

The sons of the Shen family are all well-versed in literature and martial arts, although they are not as good as the Jinshi who specialize in literature, they can understand them anyway.Shen Buhuo nodded repeatedly as he listened, and changed his view of these scholars, and they weren't all just talking on paper.Shen Buzhi tilted his head and listened, feeling puzzled.

Some Jinshi asked Hong Yan and Gong Heng about their articles, and they naturally told them for everyone to discuss.Shen Xi sat in the middle, not to mention how uncomfortable it was, it was his fault, he shouldn't be asking questions like a teacher.Xu Xie saw that Shen Xi hadn't said a word and asked, "Teacher, you don't think so?"

For a moment, everyone turned their heads to look at Shen Xi.Shen Xi drank tea calmly: "It's not bad, it's just..."

"Just what?" a Jinshi asked anxiously.Everyone was waiting for Shen Xi's answer, wanting to know where they were lacking.

At this time, the crown prince, third prince, Liu Wengzhu and others arrived. Seeing this situation, they refused to let the eunuch report.They used to stand quietly on the periphery, wondering what Shen Xi would say.They have seen Shen Xi's mouth before, and they must be able to say something different.

From a distance, Xuan and Di's support also came over, and he stood outside without disturbing the others.The prince and others wanted to salute, but Xuan and the emperor were spared.Jinshi, ministers, prince Wengzhu, and even Xuanhe Emperor were all waiting for Shen Xi's answer, an unexpected answer.

"I remember that the exam questions are related to employing people." Shen Hao put down his teacup, "I have read a few students' articles, and you have also discussed them just now. Your answers, no matter how beautiful the words are, or how clever the quotations are, are nothing less than eight words: Merit meritocracy and appoint people on their merits. This is probably the standard answer to that exam question. But people’s hearts are complex and changeable, and it cannot be explained clearly in a few words or sentences."

Let Shen Hao give an example, he doesn't know the ancient allusions, he only knows the complexity of the human heart in modern society.Often when an eye-catching report comes out, it arouses heated discussions among the masses, and afterward slaps abound.He never underestimated people's hearts, people's hearts are the most unpredictable.

Shen Xi looked at the faces of the new scholars. How long can they keep their hearts when they just stepped into the officialdom?Shen Yan smiled: "So I am more optimistic about knowing people and being good at assignments. Let this person do what he is good at. Everyone has something they are good at, isn't it?"

Few of the Jinshi present probably heard the implication of Shen Xi's words.Shen Xi's knowledge of people, kindness and responsibility does not ask about virtues, but only about talents.What this person is good at, let him do what he is good at, and he can only do what he is good at.Mistakes are punished, meritorious service is awarded, and it is kicked away when it is useless.It's cruel, reality is so cruel.Entering the officialdom has to face this kind of cruelty, naive thinking will not work...

"But appointing officials is not..." A Jinshi covered his mouth in fright before he finished speaking. Only the emperor can appoint officials.

Therefore, even though many people also understand the principle of knowing people and doing good things well, they must never write them down on the exam papers, let alone say them out.Shen Xi was able to speak out, and dared to speak out, because behind him was the General's Mansion.Others can't say it, it will be a disaster of death.

In a word, a disaster.Shen Xi poured tea with a smile, and took a sip.Shen Buhuo found that Shen Xi knew that the emperor and his party were there, but deliberately stayed away, as if he didn't know they were there.Isn't this neglecting the emperor?He wanted to get up and salute, but he didn't move.

"The emperor has arrived—" a eunuch shouted, and everyone knew that the emperor had arrived, and all knelt down to greet him.

Emperor Xuanhe turned around and sat on the upper seat, and ordered everyone to stand up.After everyone was seated, Lu Huishen announced the opening of the banquet.The prince and the others aimed at Shen Xi.

"Today's Qionglin Banquet, I want to see the talent of Xinke Scholars." Emperor Xuanhe ordered Lu Huishen to go to the checkers board, "Hong Yan, Gong Heng, Xu Xie, play a game. This is checkers, I believe you all Bet. Bufan is one of the best players, even I can't win."

fart.Shen Xi rolled his eyes in his heart, obviously he had won him many times.Speaking of checkers, Shen Hao stood up and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, why don't you play with them. I haven't played for a long time, and I saw the hands on the chessboard itching. If I win, I want to ask the emperor for a reward."

"Look, the rewards are about to start." Emperor Xuanhe stood up with a smile, "Then I will accompany you to this game. There is still one person missing, which love will go up? If anyone helps me win Shen Bufan, I will win the game." There are many rewards. Maybe let Bufan see it, haha."

Several ministers discussed and were preparing to ask for orders.Unexpectedly, Shen Xi pointed at a person one step ahead of them: "How about him?"

Everyone looked at the person Shen Xi was pointing at, was it actually a eunuch?An inconspicuous eunuch standing behind the emperor.

"I don't dare." The eunuch knelt down and trembled, "I don't know how to play chess, so I hope Mr. Shen can choose someone else."

No one present knew why Shen Xi chose a eunuch.Xuan Hedi narrowed his eyes and stared at Shen Yu, but remained silent for a long time.Everyone knew that Shen Xi must be doing something wrong today, but they really didn't understand.Could it be that the eunuch belongs to Shen Bufan?Wouldn't this be the target of public criticism?

"The emperor doesn't want to play chess with the eunuch?" Shen Wei smiled slightly, "I think everyone has their own talents."

Emperor Xuanhe looked at the eunuch kneeling on the ground, thought over and over again and decided: "Okay, I will follow you. If I win..."

"It's up to the emperor how to deal with it." Shen Xi smiled confidently, "If the minister wins, I ask the emperor to reward me."

The audience was silent, no one dared to say anything.Lu Huishen ordered people to set up a round table in the middle of the garden, and put a chessboard on it.Shen Hao asked Hong Yan and the others to sit: "Do you choose a seat, or sit casually? Where is the emperor? Which side does the emperor want to sit on?"

Lu Huishen ordered the chairs to be placed, and Xuan and Di sat down on the upper seats.Shen Xi smiled, and sat in the nearest seat, and the others also sat.

The eunuch sat opposite Emperor Xuanhe, shrinking his neck in fear and fear.Emperor Xuanhe looked over: "What's your name?"

"Slave Gao Qi." Gao Qi hurriedly got up and knelt down, "I was just transferred to serve the emperor not long ago. I really don't know how to play chess."

"Sit down. Help me win, and I will reward you." Emperor Xuanhe raised his hand.Lu Huishen hurriedly helped Gao Qi up and patted his shoulder.

Shen Xi didn't care how Lu Huishen winked at Gao Qi, he placed the chess pieces: "Your Majesty, the first is the winner."

"That's natural." Emperor Xuanhe also set up chess pieces, aimed at Hongyan and the others, "It's best for the lovers to go all out."

Hongyan and the others should salute.Shen Xi lowered his eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled into a meaningful smile.How can the emperor win this game of chess...

The emperor moves the chess piece first, then sinks.Shen Xi had Xu Xie next to him, followed by Gao Qi, Gong Heng, and Hong Yan.This game of chess is a test for all of them by Shen Xi, choose Jun or him.Loyalty to the emperor is the foundation of an official, Shen Xi wants to know how they choose...

As for Gao Qi... After only seeing each other three times, Shen Xi thought he was quite interesting.Every time I met Gao Qi, I climbed higher than before. Only this kind of people can survive in the palace.And this game of chess puts Gao Qi on the verge of life and death, Gao Qi has to think about how to survive...
