reborn wife

Chapter 3

On weekdays, if Wen Yanfeng was in the Wen residence, he would spend the whole day in the study.

When Wen Zhiru came to the door of the study, he heard the conversation coming from inside, and stopped for a moment.

"Tomorrow is the palace examination, the emperor should already have a favorite candidate in his heart, what else needs the son to come to the mansion to discuss?"

"Yes, among the re-elected candidates for this examination, the ones with outstanding literary talent and knowledge are Shen Yizhuo, the third son of the Shen family, Duan Yihang, the second son of the Marquis of Changxing, and Xie Yuan, who was No. 1 in the Yizhou examination last year. Xue Jun."

The one who answered Wen Yanfeng was a slightly younger but calm voice, and it was also a voice that Wen Zhiru was all too familiar with.

Jin Yihun, the eldest son of the Xianwang Mansion.

If he remembered correctly, this year should be the first three years of filial piety for the son of King Xian. Although Prince Xian is not as favored in this dynasty as King Rui, who is the emperor's younger brother and the only son of the empress dowager, he is even more favored.The Great Jin Dynasty of the Kexian Prince's Mansion is also considered to be famous. The Emperor Shengzu bestowed the country's surname and made him a prince, which was hereditary for three generations.

If Jin Yihui entered the court as an official, it would be normal for the emperor to ask him to supervise the imperial examinations because of the name of the virtuous prince, but Wen Zhiru never knew that Jin Yihui had such a personal relationship with his father.

"The emperor wants to appoint Xue Jun as the number one scholar?"

Wen Yanfeng is today's senior scholar of the Zhongji Temple and concurrently the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He is also the first and auxiliary minister of the cabinet, controlling the government and monopolizing the power.It has been four or five years since the emperor succeeded to the throne, but he can't really make decisions in this court, and his relationship with Wen Yanfeng can be regarded as the same situation.In the eyes of the world, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Wen Yanfeng is a treacherous minister.

The Shen family can also be considered a famous family. Although there have been no high-ranking officials of more than three generations in several generations, the century-old family is not in vain. How can the connections in the court be comparable to ordinary officials and eunuchs? Wen Zhiru's mother is also the Shen family. If the emperor wants to seize the power of a daughter born on the first line, of course he will not use Shen's son again.

The Marquis of Changxing fell in the previous dynasty, and now only the title of Lord Marquis remains, but years ago the eldest son of the Marquis married the sister of Princess Rui, and Mrs. Marquis of Changxing is the queen mother's cousin.The court was not peaceful at all, if it wasn't for the opposition of the officials and the last words of the late emperor, the queen mother would have arranged everything to make her son King Rui enthroned.

The emperor was already too busy dealing with Wen Yanfeng, how could he let the queen mother's party add to the chaos.

Presumably, only Xue Jun, who has no family background, is available.

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the teacher's eyes, and the students are convinced." When Jin Yihun said this, Wen Zhiru understood.

Wen Yanfeng's official career can be regarded as a legend in the Dajin Dynasty. He has never had a reputation in the imperial examinations, and has never entered the Imperial Academy, but he has been promoted step by step to the cabinet bachelor. Jin Yihui probably received his guidance during the one-year Guozijian sacrificial wine.

"I don't need to waste my energy to speculate on the little thoughts of the emperor. The number one scholar is just a small editor of the Imperial Academy. I don't pay attention to the official position of the seventh rank. It depends on whether he can sit or not. Sit firmly in this position."

The implication of Wen Yanfeng's words could not be more clear, the position of number one scholar does not depend on the level of official position, but the fame it brings is what children of all aristocratic families need most.Xue Jun has no power and power, and his parents are both peasants. Although it is a matter for the emperor to give him the number one prize, Wen Yanfeng can ignore it, but whether the children of the aristocratic families in the court behind him are willing to buy him is not him. Wen Yanfeng had the final say.

Jin Yihui was a little embarrassed, if he and the emperor Jin Junyu hadn't thought of a suitable countermeasure for sitting in the imperial study for a whole day, he would not have come here to look at people's faces, "What the teacher said is very true, the emperor just has Because of this worry, I sent students to the mansion to ask the teacher to teach me a thing or two."

"It is the job of the ministers to share the worries of the emperor. Since the emperor has made a decision, the ministers will try their best to handle it as impartially as possible. However, although the subordinate officials are the chief assistants of the cabinet, they have not yet had the ability to restrain the civil and military affairs of the court."

"Teacher, why should you underestimate yourself? What the emperor means is that if the teacher is willing to let Xue Jun worship under the teacher's school, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty should give some respect."

Although the disciples of Wen Yanfeng, the chief assistant of the cabinet, are not as popular as those who are famous for their scholarly families, nearly half of them have been taught by Wen Yanfeng among the six divisions and nine ministers of the current imperial court. Holding real power in his hands is also the reason why the emperor fears and has headaches the most.

"Your Majesty really overestimated this old man. This old man has never achieved any fame in his life, so how can he dare to teach a champion. The son of the world should stop calling this old man a teacher. He is just a temporary and part-time Guozijian sacrificial wine. It can be regarded as your true mentor, and I can’t afford this teacher!"

Recognizing Xue Jun as a student is just a formality, and the emperor will not really let that kid get closer to him, but what is Xue Jun's identity, Wen Yanfeng is willing to praise him, I am afraid that he will not be able to enjoy this blessing.To be a Hanlin editor is nothing more than a three-year term and there is no hope of promotion. If you want to climb up to Wen Yanfeng and Gao Zhier, you may have to lose your life in less than three years.

After all, the kid in front of him is still too young, and he is not farsighted enough to see things and people.

Wen Yanfeng's merciless refusal made Jin Yihun's complexion a little more serious.The chief minister is really difficult.

"If the son of the world really wants to share the worries of the emperor, there is actually an easier way. There are many princes and marquises in the Manchu dynasty who are waiting for the ladies in the boudoir. The emperor casually refers to a woman with a high-quality family and the number one scholar. With the help of his father-in-law's family background , are you afraid that he won't be able to achieve success in the future?"

"This……"

In fact, it's not that the emperor hadn't thought of this method, but how could the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty be so easy to fool? On that day, Jin Junyu passed on a few officials from the Ministry of Rites to discuss this year's imperial examinations in the Imperial Study Room, but it was just Just said something casually, Xue Jun is so talented, but it is a pity that he has not yet married a wife in his late twenties. The faces of several officials present turned pale, and they all said that if a low-ranking official has no talent and no virtue, if he can have Xue Jun as his son-in-law, it will be a glorious family lintel It's a pity that the little girl has already made a marriage arrangement...

It is conceivable that if the emperor really proposes marriage for the number one scholar in the court hall, and the civil and military officials of the whole court find all kinds of inappropriate reasons to prevaricate, then where will he put the face of the emperor?

Besides, since ancient times, the poorer the scholar, the more virtuous he is. If he is asked to marry a woman from a wealthy family and rely on his in-laws to start his official career, I am afraid that this talented man will simply resign from office.

Wen Yanfeng threw out such a bad idea, presumably he was planning to see off the guests.

At this time Wen Zhiru had already listened to half a cup of tea outside the door, and his father was receiving guests, so it was not convenient for him to meet a foreigner as a daughter.

He can still remember that in his previous life, Xue Jun was indeed the champion at the end, and the son of a village farmer became a good story once he was dressed in a brocade robe, but his position as an editor of the Imperial Academy seemed to be impeached after a short time. , lost his official position.

In the previous life, the relationship between the father and the emperor had reached a point of conflict, otherwise the young emperor would not have made a big fuss about his own marriage, and after the death of his father, King Rui's dominance led to the final usurpation of power.

In this life, he still wants to live a few more years, and he can't let his father's reputation as a treacherous and treacherous official spread too far.

Wen Zhiru thought for a while, then pushed open the door.

"Zhiru greets my father, I don't think my father is still here, it's because my daughter is reckless."

"En." Wen Yanfeng looked at Wen Zhiru, if the clothes were plain, it would be better to say shabby, but fortunately, his words, deeds, and gestures were well-mannered like a child of an aristocratic family, which is not bad.

In recent years, Mrs. Qian presided over the affairs of the mansion, and Wen Zhiru had been embarrassing him both openly and secretly. Did that woman overdo it?

Are your children unable to afford even decent clothes?

"I just heard from your mother yesterday that you are sick, why don't you take a good rest and think about coming here for your father."

"I've been lying down for a few days, and I feel better today. I just thought that I haven't greeted my father for a long time. I don't want to disturb you."

"It doesn't matter." Wen Yanfeng looked at Jin Yihun, who was still standing on the side, not knowing whether to leave or stay, "This is the son of the virtuous king. This is the little girl Zhiru."

Wen Zhiru bowed his head, "My son is well."

Jin Yihui smiled and said, "Miss Wen is being polite."

Wen Zhiru still remembered that in his previous life he first met Jin Yihun about two years later.Speaking of which, Jin Yixuan's appearance is actually better than Jin Yixuan's. His facial features are elegant but not feminine, restrained but arrogant. In his memory, he seldom really laughs, but the corners of his mouth always have a faint smile. His smile makes people look warm, his eyebrows are picturesque, and he is graceful. It's just that he was preconceived to be fascinated by Jin Yixuan's romantic, unrestrained energy, and never paid attention to Jin Yixuan.

"Father, my daughter just heard that you and the eldest son seem to have some disputes outside the door, can you let my daughter say a few words."

Wen Yanfeng shook his head, "You are so old, you may not have read a few books and poetry, and you want to give pointers to the affairs of the court, and you are not afraid of being laughed at."

"Father also knows that his daughter is young, so even if he says something wrong, he will just make you laugh, okay?"

Wen Yanfeng thought that he had never been intimate with him in the past ten years, and his heart softened, "It's up to you!"

"If you talk about talent and learning, the three young masters Xue, Shen, and Duan should only be among brothers. The emperor wants to reuse Mr. Xue because he has a clean background and will not be involved in the party disputes in the court. It is used by the emperor. The courtiers are not optimistic about Mr. Xue. In addition to his family background, the title of champion is actually more important. It is said in the book that a tree is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. This is the truth. In fact, even if Mr. Xue entered the Imperial Academy He is promoted every three years, and it may take ten or eight years before he really has a place in the imperial court, not to mention that it is difficult to be a Beijing official. With the title of number one scholar, he will be caught by many people for details Small mistakes will not be let go. If the emperor just wants Mr. Xue to contribute to the country, why should he care about a number one scholar, why should he care about an official position in the capital? Being far away from the capital, it will certainly not be enviable, and my father can also find a position for him with experience, so that he can make a difference in the position."
