The old fox who married into a wealthy family

According to the real development, because the emperor saw Zhang Zheng beating Hao Nu, he felt that he was a useful person, so although he passed the No. Beijing.

But now Tangli replaced Zhang Zheng, and because she was Huiyuan, she was directly selected by the emperor to become the number one scholar, and was awarded the sixth-rank Hanlin Xiuzhuan to stay in Beijing.

Zhang Zheng will then conduct a "library selection". If he passes the selection, he will become a "Shu Jishi". After three years of study in Beijing, he will officially enter the Imperial Academy, which is equivalent to an intern at the Imperial Academy; If so, it is very likely that the county magistrate will be released.

He doesn't have many old friends in the capital. If he doesn't win a good scholar, I'm afraid that the rich county that is easy to govern will not be able to get him, and he will probably be assigned to a poor county.

Shu Jishi can take more than 60 people for each subject, at most, only one person at least.Generally speaking, it is always in the range of ten to 20 people.

Zhang Zheng's 28th place is quite doubtful.

But in any case, it is extremely rare to pass the Jinshi examination. In the eyes of ordinary people, they are already "masters" in the reserve service, with a bright future. Wherever they go, there are people who deliberately meet and make friends.

Tang Li and Zhang Zheng are currently in this situation. Their original social circle has suddenly expanded, and they have met many "same year", and they have various activities and entertainment every day.

Counting the top three Jinshi in this subject, there are a total of more than 200 people, and it is impossible for everyone to be close friends. Although most of them are for face, there are also a few of them who really get along.

On this day, the results of the "Guanxuan" hadn't come down yet, Tangli Zhang Zheng and fellow Jinshi Ma Ke, Xiang Wang, and Du Zhuo were drinking tea in a teahouse.

These three people are all in their twenties, they are the same age as Zhang Zheng, and they are also the same age. They have chatted with Tang and Zhang relatively, and their relationship is relatively close.

At this time, although the rankings of the exam are fixed, a small number of people have even been awarded official positions and have places to go, but everyone has not formally taken up their posts, and they have more leisure time, so they gather together every day to enjoy flowers and tea, and go for outings on horseback. Relax after the competition.

Seeing that Zhang Zheng was frowning, Ma Ke knew what was on his mind, so he said, "Is Yue Ling worried about staying in Beijing?"

Who wouldn't want to stay in the capital for anyone who passed five passes and killed six generals and won the Jinshi award?

Compared with granting a seven-rank county magistrate, even if it takes a few years to go to various ministries without a grade and slowly rise up, the future prospects of contacts are far from being comparable to that of a county magistrate.

"Sigh, it's useless to worry." Zhang Zheng replied sullenly, "When the results of the library selection come out, if I can't be selected as a good scholar, I'm afraid I will have to leave Beijing and be released."

To become the parent official of a county and to make some practical achievements for the people is actually not too bad for him.

It's just that if this is the case, he must be separated from Brother Tang.

"According to Yue Ling's talents, even if you can't choose a good scholar, you can still find a place to stay in Beijing in various ministries." Du Zhuo interjected.

Among them, Zhang Zheng is the youngest, so they are all called Zhang Zheng's Biaozi.

Xiang Wang picked up his fan and lightly tapped Du Zhuo's head: "You have uncle to help you stay in Beijing, so you don't know if you're hungry when you're full. People like us are good-looking, but if you don't win the top three and the sages, If you want to stay in Beijing, you have to rely on your connections."

"Actually, I think it's easy to stay in Beijing with Yueling's conditions." Ma Ke took a sip of tea from his cup and offered advice to his friends. A Jinshi. As long as you marry a good wife and have a reliable and supportive Yue family, staying in Beijing is easy."

"Yue Ling is upright and upright, so he wouldn't do this." Tang Li said after hearing this.

When Zhang Zheng was in the middle school, he even rejected the donation from the village and county, so how could he rely on his wife's nepotism to stay in Beijing?

Hearing this, Zhang Zheng couldn't help but cast a glance at Tangli, thinking——

Brother Tang is indeed a bosom friend with me.

I also think of the deep affection between the two people. During this period of time, they are like glue, regardless of each other, but parting again, it is inevitable to be sentimental.

Ma Ke is a man who is well versed in the world and has a broad mind. He knows that everyone has their own ambitions. Seeing that this plan was not adopted by Zhang Zheng, he did not continue to persuade him, but continued to drink tea with a smile.

A few people had some snacks and tea in the teahouse, listened to books, and before they knew it, it was evening.

Xiang Wang's book boy has been guarding the results of "the library selection", and now he rushed over to report the news, Zhang Zheng, Ma, Xiang, and Du did not select Shu Jishi.

Everyone was a little disappointed, not in the mood to continue drinking tea and listening to books, so they parted ways.

On the way back to the inn, Tangli asked Zhang Zhengdao: "What does Yue Ling think of Brother Ma?"

Zhang Zheng smiled: "Brother Ma gave me advice out of good intentions. He is generous and broad-minded, and getting along with him is like a spring breeze. It's just that gentlemen have their own ways, and they have different ways. They don't seek advice from each other."

Tang Li nodded, secretly thinking——

I can't see that you will still make positive comments on your political opponents decades later.At that time, you scolded this broad-minded brother Ma in public until he vomited blood, and each other wanted to strangle each other to death.

Of course, this time, none of these things will happen.

After the results of the "Museum Selection" were released, the whereabouts of the more than 200 Jinshi were basically settled.

Sure enough, Zhang Zheng was sent out to leave Beijing, and went to a remote and impoverished county to be the magistrate.

Tangli followed Zhang Zheng's original path and was deliberately cultivated by the emperor. She became the sharpest knife in the hands of the emperor. She was a lone minister, not a friend or party, and made countless enemies inside and outside the court.

In the blink of an eye, another ten years have passed.

Although Zhang Zheng has outstanding achievements in governance, but because he has no connections, he still serves as the magistrate in that county, and he has not moved a single one.

If there were no accidents, he would have spent his entire life with qualifications, and it would be considered good to finally retire in the position of Zhizhou.

But seeing the land under his jurisdiction gradually prosper and clear, and the people have enough food and clothing to live and work in peace and contentment, Zhang Zheng did not regret such a choice.

30-year-old Zhang Zheng returned to his residence after a busy day of government affairs, lit the oil lamp on the table, dipped his pen in the ink and wrote on the letter paper in the early night:

Tang brother sees a letter as if meeting him.

He described in detail what he had done during this time, the flowers he had seen, the country snacks he had tasted, the temperature of the wind, and the flow of clouds.

Although there is no word "love" in the whole article, it is full of emotions.

After finishing writing, Zhang Zheng put the envelope on the table and flattened it with his hands, feeling sad for a moment.

I heard that brother Tang was favored by the emperor in the capital, and he was promoted very quickly. Now he is a third-rank Hanlin bachelor, and he often goes to the palace to give lectures on scriptures and history for the prince. He is very likely to become a minister in the cabinet in the future.

He was very happy for Brother Tang.

But since three years ago, Brother Tang didn't reply to him any more... This can't be blamed on Brother Tang, maybe it's because they have been separated for too long, and the two of them are not at the same level after all.

However, he never forgot Brother Tang.

He remembered Tang brother's coquettish appearance with a smile on his lips, remembered Tang brother's gorgeous face, remembered each other's entangled breathing in the middle of the night, and the flame that was lit silently... So much so that he couldn't do anything until now. Accept the "marriage" of others.

Zhang Zheng looked out the window at the boundless night, and let out a melancholy sigh.

……

In the Imperial Academy, Tang Li sat in front of the table, opened Zhang Zheng's letter and read it, and couldn't help but draw a sweet smile on her lips.

His little vixen really likes him very, very much.

Then Tang Li put the letter into the brazier and watched as the red flames quickly burned the envelope and several pages of letter paper until they were scorched and curled until they were all reduced to ashes.

The author has something to say: Tang Li: I have already prepared to replace Yue Ling and become a generation of loyal ministers. For the end of this world, come on, let the storm be more violent~~

The mother smiled: What kind of loyal minister, have you forgotten that your old man is a vixen?
