"Roasted wood cannot be carved!"

"I am lacking in talent, but I am still half-hearted!"

"Look at it yourself, what bullshit has been written!

"At your level, let alone ten years, you can't make it to the Jinshi list even for twenty years!"

The scolding has lasted for two quarters of an hour. Qian Yuan put on an expression of listening to the teachings, muttering to himself that this old man is in great spirits and does not bother him!

The next moment, Qian Yuan saw Lu Shude, who was watching the fun, bringing a cup of tea to his brother...

Last night, Qian Yuan had something to do in his mind, and all three articles and eight essays were perfunctory. This morning, it was already noon after Qian Yuan returned to the "prison".

At that time, Lu Shusheng was eating it with no taste and thought it was okay, but now he thought it was a pig's lunch.

However, they came to study, not to be a cook for themselves... But Lu Shusheng, who was in a bad mood, immediately found a reason to vent his emotions.

Qian Yuan asked for leave yesterday, but he still brought three questions back, but he was uneasy last night and was perfunctory...

After a long reprimand, Lu Shusheng coldly left two words, "Remain it!"

Since Qian Yuan was admitted to prison, it was equivalent to Lu Shude who had a holiday every day to pick up a piece of paper from the table, "Brother Yuan, there are three questions today."

There was no way. People had to bow their heads under the eaves. Qian Yuan, who was locked in the study, scratched his ears and foreheads. He spent three hours and only wrote two articles.

However, Qian Yuan did not just focus on doing the questions, but went to the kitchen wisely after finishing the two questions.

I had to eat lightly at night. Qian Yuan cooked a pot of porridge, baked a few scallion pancakes, then served with pickles, stir-fried a plate of diced radish, and took a few salted duck eggs brought from home.

I have to admit that Qian Yuan, who went to do business in his previous life, had a keen sense of smell. After drinking porridge and eating scallion pancakes, Lu Shusheng's face was much better than at noon.

In the study room.

Lu Shusheng carefully reviewed the two eight-legged articles written by Qian Yuan in the afternoon. Although he really has no talent in literary talent, he is stable according to the rules. If he is lucky, he can pass the exam continuously. If he is not lucky, he will be almost done for a few more years.

"Sir, have a cup of tea. This is the Mingqian Longjing I brought today."

Lu Shusheng frowned and looked at Qian Yuan who was walking in, "Have you finished those four questions?"

"You must work hard, I won't sleep tonight!" Qian Yuan smiled and leaned forward a few steps, "I just asked to teach Mr. Pingquan."

Lu Shusheng noticed the change in Qian Yuan's name, and after a moment of silence, he said, "If you are only asking about Songjiang, I can still answer, if it is in the court..."

"It's just the Huating matter." Qian Yuan's face next to the desk happened to be reflected by the candlelight, making him look unstable.

"My uncle has a gap with the Xu family?"

Lu Shusheng resisted the urge to roll his eyes and asked you to ask about Huating, but you were asking about Qian Zheng and Xu Jie... Could this be a matter of the court?

"Last year, I visited Mr. Gu Dingfang, Shanghai County." Qian Yuan added: "Mr. Gu has a good relationship with his uncle, but he seems to have no good feelings for the Xu family..."

This is the confusion that has been hovering in Qian Yuan’s mind yesterday.

Xia Yan was kind to support Qian Zheng, and Qian Zheng also resolutely wrote a letter to Xia Yan.

Gu Dingfang and Xia Yan had a good relationship, and after Xia Yan was abandoned, he took the risk of collecting his body for him.

In history, Xia Yan also supported Xu Jie. The two regarded themselves as teachers and students. In countless books, they mentioned that Xu Jie endured humiliation and took revenge for Xia Yan.

That's wrong... Qian Zheng and Gu Dingfang, who have a close relationship with Xia Yan, are not in harmony with Xu Jie. You should know that in addition to their relationship with Xia Yan, these three people are still fellow villagers and should be regarded as village party members.

Qian Yuan thought deeper that Xu Fan was already twenty-three years old this year. He was only classmate with him four years ago and had no contact afterwards. However, the two had more than one or two disputes over the years. I'm afraid this is not just because his predecessor's mouth was too toxic?

Although he knew that the young man in front of him was meticulous, Lu Shusheng still couldn't suppress his surprise and said to himself, "A leaf knows autumn..."

"What?"

"This matter is a long story." Lu Shusheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. "Your uncle is a straight-tempered person. You kid used to be too, but after a stick in his head... the needle is hidden in the cotton, which is unpredictable."

Qian Yuan dragged a chair and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and acted like listening to the story, just like he could take a handful of melon seeds.

"Your uncle was a Jinshi in the 14th year of Jiajing. That year, Xia Yan was appointed as the Minister of Rites and the Hanlin Academy. At that time, he was quite favored by the current emperor. Li Shi of the cabinet and Zhai Luankong occupied his position. The next year, Li Shi passed away, and Xia Yan jumped to become the chief minister of the cabinet."

"Xia Guixi's temper..." Lu Shusheng sighed: "It was carved from the same mold as your uncle, and both of them are both teachers and friends..."

After pausing, Lu Shusheng looked at Qian Yuan and asked, "Do you know why your uncle Qian Zheng was praised by Shilin?"

"Put a letter to Xia Guixi?"

"Not only that." Lu Shusheng said quietly: "He also once called for justice for another person."

"who?"

"Nie Shuangjiang, who was once the magistrate of Huating and the magistrate of Suzhou, is now the magistrate of the Grand Sima." Lu Shusheng said softly: "In the 26th year of Jiajing, Nie Shuangjiang, who was appointed as the magistrate of Pingyang, was falsely accused of accepting bribes, and Xia Guixi put him in prison."

OK, let alone Gu Dingfang is so stupid, his uncle is so stupid, no wonder his friendship is so good!

Qian Yuan grinned, "My uncle wrote a letter to call for the Shuangjiang Gong?"

"Yes, Xia Guixi was furious at that time, and there were many discussions in the court." Lu Shusheng gently stroked his long beard, "Shuangjiang Gong was also imprisoned for two years because of this."

"Two years?" Qian Yuan keenly discovered this point, "Twenty-eight years of Jiajing?"

"Yes, Xia Guixi retired that year, but Yan Bin should kill him and put him in prison." Lu Shusheng smiled, "Most ministers in the court kept silent, but your uncle resolutely wrote a letter. Although he was exiled from the capital, his reputation of being honest and upright was spread throughout the Shilin."

After sighing about his uncle's iron head, Qian Yuan frowned and asked, "What does this have to do with Xu Huating?"

"What's the hurry!" Lu Shusheng seemed to be immersed in the past, glared at Qian Yuan, and continued: "Although Xia Guixi was abandoned at the market back then, he rose and fell several times. He served as the chief minister of the cabinet for more than ten years and was full of party members."

Qian Yuan narrowed his eyes and compared this information with the memories of his previous life in his mind.

"At that time, Yan Song could not cover the sky with one hand, and Zhang Zhi and Lu Ben were all mediocre." Lu Shusheng's voice became ethereal, "So, Huating wanted to do something."

Qian Yuan understood this sentence and asked in a low voice: "When Huating?"

"The Minister of Rites is also in charge of Hanlin affairs."

Qian Yuan nodded, "The Minister of Rites is often a sign of entry into the cabinet, but he has this qualification."

"At that time, all officials cried, and the court sticks on the court today have broken many backbones, but even so, the party and the scattered disciples in Xia Guixi and the censors of Zhongke in the court admire Qian Zheng." Lu Shusheng snorted, "So, Xu Jie recommended him to resume three times in a row."

"But my uncle didn't agree." Qian Yuan reacted quickly. He knew about this. Sun Chengen, who took over as Minister of Rites, recommended Qian Zheng to recover two years ago. The Sun family and the Qian family were in-laws, and this matter had nothing to do with Xu Jie.

"No," Lu Shusheng nodded, "Since then, Yan Song gradually took control of the court, and now he has to cover the sky with one hand, Xu Huating can only support it."

"Tell me, how can your uncle and Huating have a harmonious relationship?"

Qian Yuan sighed, indeed, Xia Yan was abandoned, and a power vacuum appeared in the court. Xu Jie tried his best to climb up, but his uncle refused to cooperate...
