Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

Emperor Yuan gave Junziyou a chance to choose, but it became a proposition, making him in a dilemma.

If it is too high, it will make people feel that he does not know the heights of the sky and the earth, and if he angers the queen mother, his life will be lost.But if it is said to be low, the second place and Tanhualang who are below him can't overstep, so they have to live a hard life with him.

The one he doesn't know is fine, if Su Qinghe can't find a good official position in the court, Junziyou will regret for mistaken him for the rest of his life.

He was silent for a long time without opening his mouth. The queen mother tasted the fine wine tribute from the Western Regions and became a little drunk, "Zhuangyuan Lang, but you haven't made up your mind yet?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the grass-roots dare not speak nonsense. They are afraid that they will anger the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, and all your lords by saying something inappropriate. My lord has taught us to be cautious in words and deeds, lest there will be inappropriate actions, so... I also invite the Empress Dowager to speak with you." His Majesty decides."

"He is a clever person, but the emperor has given you a chance. If you don't choose, you will not give the emperor face."

"Then... Cao Min, Cao Min wants to go to the Ministry of War to feed the horses."

As soon as these words came out, several adults who couldn't hold back laughed out loud, and could still hear whispers.

"This kid is really timid. Did you hear that? He said he was going to be Bi Mawen."

"The number one scholar cultivated by the imperial court turned out to be a scum with such a virtue that mud can't support the wall!"

"Hey, Mr. Liu's words are wrong. I feel that he has some other intentions. I think that Sun Wukong was also sent by the heaven to be Bi Mawen at the beginning, but what happened later, he made a big disturbance in the heavenly palace, and finally became a fight against Buddha. , I'm afraid this kid's thoughts are far deeper than what we thought..."

Sure enough, what kind of person can guess what kind of human nature.

The queen mother is someone who has seen the big scene. Instead of getting angry after hearing Jun Ziyou's words, she asked the reason patiently.

Gentleman You replied: "In today's imperial court, although the three provinces and six ministries are interdependent and restrict each other, there is no shortage of small-timers who form cliques for self-interest. The grassroots choose an official position rashly, and they are bound to be wooed by others. It is difficult to maintain their original aspirations. They can only climb to the top with their own hands. , so that you are not afraid of falling into the abyss and being smashed to pieces."

"Good! What a capable and ambitious talent, the Ai family values ​​you!"

It was obviously meant to be positive, but these words made everyone present sweat.

Xiao Beicheng couldn't help clenching his fists, hating the gentleman's mouth that has no clue. This kind of rebellion dares to say anything about arranging the court, and he is not afraid of ruining his future and life here!

All the ministers had their own thoughts, some saw that the Empress Dowager valued the gentleman, and they had the intention of making friends; The wind direction changes, and the whole place is silent for a moment.

Emperor Yuan's face was not very good-looking, because he was dissatisfied that the talents he personally selected were snatched away by the Queen Mother, so he said: "The Queen Mother hasn't made up her mind yet, you might as well look at the other two rookies before making plans."

"The emperor is right. The Ai family remembers that the second place in the list is a young man named Su Qinghe. He is only [-], but he has quite a brilliant literary talent. The Ai family really wants to meet him."

Hearing this, Eunuch Huan called Su Qinghe to appear on the stage. The latter knelt down one step behind Junziyou, and said in a low voice: "Unexpectedly, you are the champion. When the Qionghua banquet is over, I have to congratulate you." It is."

There was no difference in the tone and wording, but Jun Ziyou felt that something was wrong, so he didn't respond, and waited for Su Qinghe to salute the queen mother, and said a set of congratulatory speeches as usual, wishing the queen mother good health, good luck and longevity, and the emperor forever .

The queen mother asked: "Su Qinghe, do you have any favorite official positions in the court?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager, Caomin is a scholar who doesn't understand the art of war and martial arts. He aspires to be in the imperial court. He only wants to join the Ministry of Rites, in charge of the world's etiquette, and the responsibility of offering sacrifices."

"Very good, he is a young man with ambition. Since you said it, the Ai family will naturally agree. An Zhiyan, the Ai family will let Su Qinghe be a member of the Ministry of Rites temporarily. You need to remind me."

Minister of the Ministry of Rites, An Zhiyan got up and responded to the Queen Mother's order, Su Qinghe Xie En returned to his seat, seeing Jun Ziyou still kneeling, the Queen Mother was a little worried again.

At this time, a person came out from the banquet, saluted the two seated, and timely eased the deadlock.

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, this humble official has a plan. Although Zhuangyuan Lang doesn't know where to go, his deeds are not only heard by the adults here, but even the Empress Dowager and the Emperor have heard a little bit about him. Last year, the murder of the oiran of Langhua Pavilion was the case. It just broke. Weichen was there at the time, and he had seen Zhuangyuanlang’s abilities, so Weichen boldly asked the queen mother and the emperor if he could let Zhuangyuanlang..."

The person who spoke was Ye Lanchen, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Emperor Yuan's eyes darkened, and his voice was deep, full of dissatisfaction, "You mean to say, to lure a gentleman to swim to your Ministry of Punishment?"

"Dali Temple has been vacant for many years, and no one is in charge. I am afraid that it will raise a group of idiots who take official salaries for nothing. The humble minister is also thinking about the court."

Unexpectedly, he even said a nice word, Emperor Yuan's brows were full of sorrow, and he asked the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, what do you think?"

"Dali Temple...is a good place. But the Ai family remembers that the Dali Temple Minister was seriously ill, but he did not resign to recuperate. In this way, Zhuangyuan Lang will not be the Dali Temple Minister."

"It's good to be a Shaoqing. If he is in Dali Temple, his talent can be put to good use, and it's not a grievance."

"The emperor has expressed his love, so that's good. Junziyou, tomorrow you will be the young minister of Dali Temple. There must be no mistakes."

The drama of the royal mother and son is almost done, and finally it's the gentleman's turn.

He quickly thanked him, supported his numb legs, limped back to his seat, even picked up a few chopsticks of food, stuffed it into his mouth to suppress his shock.

Ordinarily, he shouldn't care about what happened after that, he wolfed down his stomach to fill his stomach, and heard that the queen mother summoned Tan Hualang to come forward, and when he was choking on the egg yolk pancake, he took the time to glance at it, and suddenly he was stunned.

After swallowing what was in his mouth, he tugged at Xiao Beicheng who was at the side, and while wiping off the greasy hands with the man's wide sleeves, he whispered: "Hey, hey, my lord... how did this man get born like this? so pretty?"

If you think that Junziyou and Su Qinghe's looks are considered outstanding among the rookies in this year, you are completely wrong.

This Tanhua Lang came from a famous family in Shuobei, and his name was Jiang Linyuan. He was the most favored candidate by the officials, but he only got a Tanhua, and was robbed of the limelight by Junziyou and Su Qinghe, two brats from the backcountry.

Among the officials, there were many masters who complained about Jiang Linyuan, but seeing that the emperor and the queen mother valued them so much, they could only keep their mouths shut.

Junziyou looked at Jiang Linyuan with fascination, Xiao Beicheng was very dissatisfied when he saw that his eyes were full of desire-desire, and wanted to remind him to be careful, but Jiang Linyuan also turned his head and smiled at Junziyou.

It just so happened that the queen mother asked about Tanhualang's willingness to serve, and Jiang Linyuan replied without hesitation: "I would like to enter Dali Temple and work under Shaoqing."

what's going on?

The dignified Shuobei Jiang family's young master is willing to entrust him to others, he is still a young man who has just obtained an official position, is he really willing to do so?

Seeing the tricky flirting between the two, Emperor Yuan understood everything, and looked at Xiao Beicheng with a smile, his gaze made the latter shudder and seemed a little at a loss.

The final outcome is that Junziyou is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Jiang Linyuan is the principal of Dali Temple, and Su Qinghe is the member of the Ministry of Rites Wai Lang.

The Qionghua banquet was over, Junziyou didn't have time to say a few words to the cynicizing officials, he was dragged by Xiao Beicheng all the way outside the palace gate, stuffed into a sedan chair and brought back to Prince Jin's mansion.

Regarding his performance today, Xiao Beicheng was very dissatisfied. If he hadn't drank too much alcohol and had some difficulty breathing, he would have been blamed unavoidably.

Junziyou laughed, "My lord, why is your face so bitter? I was named the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and I will be able to handle various difficult and miscellaneous cases in the future. Are you not happy?"

"Happy, this king is really happy. Do you know where the Dali Temple is, who is in charge of it, and why it has been vacant for so many years?"

"The official office in charge of criminal and prison cases in Dali Temple is naturally under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. Now Ye Lanchen is the secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, so am I being overwhelmed by that frantic jumping chicken?"

"It's easy to say! If Ye Lanchen deliberately makes it difficult for you, you will be unable to move an inch in the court, or even in the capital. Have you ever thought about your own situation!"

"Isn't there still a prince here?"

Seeing him laugh without knowing the pain, Xiao Beicheng had complicated thoughts, and he didn't know whether to be thankful that he relied on him, or to reprimand him for being too ignorant.

"As for the reason for the vacancy, now the government is forming a party for personal gain everywhere, and there are dark crows and Southwest Commercial Firms and other forces in the capital. Without the support of the mountain, the Dali Temple is just a decoration. I even have reason to suspect that the minister of the Dali Temple who is recuperating at home now It's because of people's harm that they ended up in such a field."

"Since you understand, you should reject Ye Lanchen on the spot!"

"But the prince saw it. The queen mother hesitated about this, but the emperor agreed with Ye Lanchen's proposal. This is enough to show that the emperor wants me to help him in this position, so how can I refuse?"

Moving out of the emperor at this time really made Xiao Beicheng speechless.

Maybe Xiao Beicheng should show that what the emperor wants him to do is indeed what a loyal minister should do, but his own hope is to let that person protect himself while gaining a foothold in the court, instead of taking risks and risking himself for it.

Gentleman You was three points drunk, and skipped away. Seeing that Xiao Beicheng hadn't followed, he sank his face and suddenly changed his expression. He stopped and waited for the movement behind him. He found that the person hadn't responded for a long time before walking away. up.

It's not that he doesn't understand Xiao Beicheng's thoughts, but he also understands that his body is like this, his life is mediocre, and dying in pain on the sick bed is death, but when he goes away with ambition and contentment, he is also death.

Who wouldn't want to leave some traces in the world if they had the energy to spare?He doesn't care about leaving a name in history, as long as one person is willing to remember him, as long as that person remembers him, he is satisfied.

But for Xiao Beicheng, if he couldn't impress the stubborn rock of Junziyou several times, he could only attack other people...
