The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

Zhang Lu passed the examination and Shen Jia was also happy for him. This is indeed a very rare opportunity. If it is grasped well, it may be an opportunity for transformation.

"Congratulations to the third brother-in-law." Shen Jia went to congratulate him, seeing him chatting and laughing happily with others, suddenly felt that the third brother-in-law's chivalrous heart was not bad, at least he was popular, and he had already recognized all future colleagues in such a short time.

Zhang Lu pulled him in front of his new friend, and introduced him, "This is the brother-in-law, Hubu doctor, the youngest number one scholar." Zhang Lu always had a grudge against Shen Jia before, and felt that he was just a family dependent on his wife. My idiot, after passing the assessment today, he can finally feel elated, and he can introduce Shen Jia to outsiders calmly.

All present were warriors, and they didn't know much about the official position of Hubu Langzhong, but it didn't stop them from admiring Shen Jia. Such a young champion, with a high position, was much more promising than them.

Shen Jia just came to congratulate, didn't want to mingle with them, so she said hello lightly, and said to Zhang Lu: "My friend is still waiting for me outside, I'll go back first, so let people go back and tell the family the good news."

Zhang Lu can't leave yet. The testers who passed the test today will definitely have to register in the end and record information, so he has to wait here, and his mind is not at home. He said to Shen Jia with a smile: " Then trouble Jiadi."

After Shen Jia left, more and more passers-by flooded into the Martial Arts Field, and the quality was much better than before. Those who were really capable were finally willing to leave. The three simple checkpoints couldn't stop them at all. Those people, the number of passers-by multiplied.

At the door, Shen Jia saw Zhao Zhang sitting in the shade of a tree. He was accompanied by only a young eunuch and a guard, and he was not very conspicuous in the crowd.

He walked over and sat beside him and asked, "Go back?"

Zhao Zhang looked away from the crowd, pointed at the stream of people entering the other courtyard, and said: "I remember you said a word, the world is full of talented people, and there is no shortage of talents in a great country, but there is no mechanism for screening talents. "

Shen Jia nodded, and added: "It would be even better if there were more schools for cultivating talents. People cannot be born with knowledge, and acquired learning is the only way for them to become talents. Apart from stereotyped essays, they can also learn All kinds of things."

"But these skills are taught by the master. What's wrong with handing down the skills from generation to generation?"

"Too slow, and the audience is too narrow. For example, there is a carpenter with extraordinary craftsmanship. He takes in an apprentice, trains him carefully, and teaches him all his skills. After his death, there will still be only one carpenter with extraordinary craftsmanship. carpenter.

But if the carpenter continues to accept apprentices, and batch after batch of students graduate, there will be countless more carpenters. Isn't that how students come? "

"You can keep recruiting apprentices, how can the students you teach compare with the apprentices you have carefully cultivated?"

Shen Jia shook her head and disagreed with his point of view, "Elite is a minority after all, what the country lacks is a large number of ordinary talents, they don't need to be everyone, as long as they can do their job well." Screws, tiny but essential.

Zhao Zhang thought for a while, and felt that what he said was also reasonable, not to mention craftsmen, if this group of military academy students can successfully complete their studies, then the generals will not be so stretched.

"Go back, I have to think carefully about how to persuade those ministers in the court. With more talents, the power in their hands will be less. They won't nod so easily."

Shen Jia also knows this, the emperor is not omnipotent, and the cabinet's resolutions are sometimes more effective than the emperor's words, but this is also the configuration that a Mingjun should have. It's messed up.

It was already dark when they returned to the city, Shen Jia originally wanted to send Zhao Zhang back to the palace first, but was rejected by the other party, so she went back directly to the Shen residence in the Shen family's carriage.

He is now a regular visitor of Shen's residence, from the concierge to the servants he met along the way, they didn't have any special reaction when they saw Zhao Zhang.

Shen's father and Shen's mother had already had their dinner, and they were surprised to see Shen Jia bringing guests back. At this hour, normal people would not go to other people's houses as guests.

Mother Shen came up to meet her and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet, just came back from the suburbs, did your elder brother know the news that the third brother-in-law passed the examination?" Shen Jia supported Shen's mother with one hand, lest she couldn't help but want to kneel when she saw Zhao Zhang.

Shen's mother asked people to prepare the meal, and replied: "I already know, your third sister must have received the news, this child finally looks promising, your third sister must be very happy."

Shen Jia also said: "The third brother-in-law is still very motivated. Since he doesn't like the path I arranged, it's a good thing to fight for it on his own. After he learns the skills, we will see where he can be arranged to work."

Mother Shen gave him a blank look, "Don't worry about it, he's not a child anymore, he's older than you, why should you worry about his affairs? Others may not remember your kindness."

Shen Jia smiled, "As long as my sister is doing well." He wasn't doing it for the third brother-in-law either.

When the meal was served, Shen Jia and Zhao Zhang sat together to eat, chatting from time to time, while Shen's mother sat outside the door fanning herself to enjoy the cool, occasionally listening to a few words of their conversation, and felt that they really looked like a young couple. It's good to be older, then she may not be able to accept her son finding a man to spend the rest of his life with.

Old Mrs. Shen went for a walk and came back, saw that the light was on in the house, and asked Shen's mother: "This Zhao person doesn't come to our house often, why does he feel that he is not born at all?"

"He and Jiajia are senior brothers. They are very familiar with each other, and they often came to our house in Baoning Mansion before. How can there be a relationship? I look at him as if I look at my half son." Mother Shen intentionally explain.

"Hey, what you think is really beautiful. Is he willing to be your son? I heard from Lao Han next door that although the surname Zhao is a rich family, there are only royal surnames Zhao in the court. Other families can't raise such outstanding children. , do you think he will be..."

Shen's mother hurriedly stopped him: "You don't care whose family he is, anyway, he is Jiajia's younger brother, and the two of them are equals, so it doesn't matter how high his status is?"

"Having said that, every time he comes to our house, he doesn't treat us like a guest. Is he a bit neglected? What if he holds grudges?"

"Is he such a small-minded person?"

Old Mrs. Shen thought about it, pulled his wife up, and whispered: "Anyway, I have to remind my son to be more careful when getting along with him. It's no problem if he wants to be with you now. What if he gets impatient with you someday?" , we can't be too eager to curry favor with him."

"Which eye of yours saw us fawning over him?"

"Why not? Just now I saw Jiajia serving food for him. There were only two people eating at the table, and he still had to serve him. It can be seen that he often does this kind of flattery on weekdays."

Shen's mother looked puzzled, finally sighed, and pulled old Mrs. Shen away.

Shen Jia didn't know that he almost gave away his secrets. He and Zhao Zhang were used to eating together, and it was normal to pick up food from each other. Occasionally, they would feed each other food when the mood came. Of course, that had to be on the premise that there were no outsiders.

After dinner, Shen Jia took Zhao Zhang back to his yard, and took a bath first as usual. Today, Shen Jia stubbornly refused the request to take a bath together. Each of them soaked comfortably in a tub, and then sat in the yard to enjoy the moon together.

"It's so leisurely!" Shen Jia leaned on the rocking chair, fanned herself while eating melon.

Zhao Zhang lay side by side with him, with his hands behind his head, thinking: this kind of life is the life he dreams of, and he really doesn't want to go back to the palace.

However, Shen Jia asked which pot was not opened and which pot was lifted, and asked anxiously: "The emperor has delayed the government affairs for a whole day, what should I do with the memorial?"

Zhao Zhang frowned and said, "If you don't look at it for a day, nothing big will happen."

"That's not necessarily the case, what if there is a military report from the front line?"

"Military newspapers are sent to the Ministry of War first and then to the cabinet. By the time I get here, everyone in the court will know about it."

Shen Jia poked his arm with a fan, and asked with a smile: "Are you complaining? You are the emperor, and the news must be filtered through layers of filters when it reaches you. If the news of the whole world spreads When it comes to you, it’s no wonder you’re not crazy.”

Zhao Zhang pulled him onto his body forcefully, put his arms around his waist, buried his face on his shoulders, took a few deep breaths, then pushed the man away and stood up, "Let's go to work."

Shen Jia lay back down again, waved her fan and said, "I don't have work to do, you can go by yourself."

Zhao Zhang looked at him condescendingly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Shouldn't we share joys and sorrows?"

"I didn't catch you when I worked overtime all night. I don't want to work today."

Zhao Zhang bent down to pick him up, ignored the other party's struggle, carried him into the study and put him down. Shen Jia's desk was already full of memorials, and he didn't know when they were delivered.

Shen Jia was so angry that he wanted to bite him, Zhao Zhang lowered his head and smiled, "You can't help it!"

One person would definitely spend all night reading this table memorial. Although Shen Jia said that she didn't want to work, her hands were more honest than her mouth. She moved a chair and sat beside Zhao Zhang to read some not-so-so things for him. Important memorial.

Later, Zhao Zhang thought it was troublesome, so he simply gave him a pen and asked him to review it by himself, so as not to waste manpower.

"Isn't that good? Our handwriting is also different."

Zhao Zhang leaned into his ear and whispered, "Don't think I don't know, you have secretly practiced my copybooks before, you don't need to have a perfect likeness, you can just write an eight-point likeness."

"Cough..." Shen Jia blushed. When he was secretly in love with Zhao Zhang, he did this kind of thing a lot. Moreover, Zhao Zhang's handwriting was really good. Even his teacher praised him every day, so Shen Jia naturally wanted to learn it.

Later, when the two separated, Shen Jia would take out his copybook to copy when she missed him, as if that person was still by her side. If one day he wanted to seek to usurp the throne, at least writing an imperial edict would not be a problem.

But it’s not that he doesn’t have a little heart, he can’t really use the same font as Zhao Zhang’s to review memorials, but only writes that they are seven or eight points similar, and imitation is fine, but it’s not so good to imitate the authentic product.
