Shengshi Mingjun
Chapter 62
When Liu Xun received Luo Lang's resignation request, he was in a daze.
Although he had heard that Luo Qun and Luo Lang wanted to take the imperial examination, since Luo Lang proposed that officials should not be allowed to go to the imperial examination for the first time, the courtiers agreed unanimously, and he thought that Luo Lang was going to give up.
Who knew that Laurent was going to resign?
Liu Xun really didn't understand.
You said that the imperial examination is for being an official, and you have become the master of the emperor. How many people envy you, what else do you take?Is it possible to leave the opportunity to the latecomers?
Roland said no.He just wants to be the No. [-] pick.
Liu Xun said honestly: "The imperial examination is based on the system of ambiguous names, and the test results may happen by accident. You may not be able to be the number one scholar."
Luo Lang said that he was unmoved, and he would definitely be admitted to the top prize.
It was the first time that Liu Xun was depressed by someone.He used to be depressing.
He cited many examples of talented scholars of all dynasties who failed in the imperial examination, trying to dispel Luo Lang's attempt to resign and prepare for the exam.Luo Lang was very interested in Liu Xun's unheard of talents in countries that were similar to big men but had different backgrounds, but he was unmoved.
At this time, Luo Lang seemed to be possessed by Liu Xun and turned into a wayward baby.
No, I don't, just no, no no no.
Liu Xun felt like he was about to vomit blood.
He earnestly said: "What's so good about this number one scholar?"
Luo Lang said: "Is it okay to be the first champion since the beginning of the world?"
Liu Xun raised his forehead: "Do you lack this reputation?"
Seeing that Liu Xun had been persuading him, Luo Lang was a little surprised and a little moved.
What moved me was that Liu Xun persuaded him completely on the side that was good to him; what surprised me was that, as the emperor, Liu Xun persuaded him as a friend.
Luo Lang thought to himself, as a friend said, after staying with His Majesty the Emperor for a long time, it is difficult to treat His Majesty the Emperor as a king.
Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.
So Luo Lang told the truth in a rare way this time: "The Luo family rebelled before, although His Majesty didn't care about it, it was a big blow to the Luo family's reputation. Now that my father has become an official, I dare to give it a go. If I win The reputation of the number one scholar can always wash away the stigma of the Luo family."
Roland paused for a moment, then continued: "Besides, this time, the noble families will definitely wait and see. Most of the scholars who come here must be the children of the common clan. It is all occupied by the children of the common clan, so there is no telling what the official family will do. My resignation to prepare for the exam is also a good thing for the promotion of the imperial examination."
Liu Xun pondered.
It was indeed as Roland said.Although the aristocratic family has not raised any objections, they certainly will not immediately "decline their status" to the examiner.If Jinshi and Yijia are all the children of the common clan, maybe they will use this to criticize the imperial examination for selecting scholars, saying that these people were admitted to official positions because the aristocratic family did not end up, saying that the gold content of Jinshi and even Yijia is not enough, and it is made for Jinshi to confer officials. obstacle.
If Roland takes the exam, this obstacle will be removed.
Because some of the Luo family had rebellious behavior, but because Luo Qun and Luo Lang and his son took refuge with Liu Xun early in the morning, and a large part of the family supported Luo Qun and Luo Lang and his son, the Luo family did not suffer a devastating blow, and it was still a good place in Jiangdong. One of the best wealthy families.
Because Liu Xun trusts Luo Qun, Luo Lang and his son, the future of the Luo family is even more limitless.
It can be said that it is already foreseeable that the Luo family will rank first in the entire Han family in the future.
Roland himself has long been famous and is very famous in the family.If he takes the exam, he can completely represent the talented children of the aristocratic family, and he will also be tempted to win the imperial examination.
With him as the leader, some children from aristocratic families who have an imperial examination mind will also turn their hearts into hearts.
What's more, Luo Lang resigned from the official position of the emperor's registrar and had to take the imperial examination, which made the imperial examination even more important for a while.
Therefore, Luo Lang's participation in the imperial examination is indeed beneficial and harmless.
The only person whose interests may be harmed is Roland.Because the imperial examination also requires a certain amount of luck in addition to talent. After all, it is a system of vague names, and Liu Xun is planning to promote regular script as the "examination font". The examiner does not know who the examinee is, and will not give you Luo Lang face.
If the examiner's personal hobbies are opposite to those of Luo Lang, no matter how well written the article is, Luo Lang may not be selected.
Luo Lang has built up such a big momentum, if he fails the imperial examination, it will definitely deal a huge blow to his personal reputation.
In fact, Roland didn't need to take such a risk at all.
Liu Xun sighed and said, "Since you have said so, how can I object?"
Luo Lang smiled and said: "If Your Majesty has confidence in me, I will definitely be able to enter the palace examination. If I enter the palace examination, the ranking will not be determined by Your Majesty?"
Liu Xun nodded: "That's right, Tanhua..."
Roland frowned: "Your Majesty!"
Liu Xun slammed his face on the table and said, "Tan Hua wants the most handsome, this is my obsession."
Luo Lang said: "Do I need to disfigure my face before the imperial examination?"
Liu Xun cried and chirped.
Luo Lang has already talked about this, what else can Liu Xun do?
Liu Xun could only struggle and said: "Then you have to perform well in the imperial examination. If there is one person who performs as well as you, and the rest of the examiners agree that his talent is similar to yours, then I will choose you as a candidate. No. [-] is impossible, not in this life." possible."
The corner of Roland's mouth twitched: "I will work hard."
Liu Xun sighed: "But since you have made such a sacrifice, I can't treat you badly."
Luo Lang knew that Liu Xun would definitely compensate him. After all, His Majesty is still soft-hearted and protective towards his own people as always. He is really worried that if someone trusted by His Majesty betrays him, what will His Majesty do?
Roland said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to do that."
Liu Xun said: "There must be. Don't worry, when the exam papers come out, I will leak the exam questions before the palace exam to you. You only need to use your own strength to take the last exam."
Roland: "..."
Roland: "Farewell!"
Roland left in a huff with no regard for the etiquette of the monarch and his subjects.
Liu Xun shouted from behind: "Don't go! I'm doing it for your own good too! Come back!"
Roland was very angry.
No appointment, get out, even if you are the emperor, I don't want to talk to you anymore! ! !
Angry, the kind that can't be coaxed!
So Si Jun, who had been on patrol recently, came home and saw Liu Xun, who was frowning, and asked what happened.
When Si Jun learned the cause and effect, he could only give Liu Xun an ellipsis as an answer.
What do you say is not good, to tell Roland the question?Luo Lang is arrogant. If you let him cheat, he won't beat you up because he is afraid that you are the emperor.
To be honest, Liu Xun's temper, if not for the emperor, would have been beaten to death long ago.He simply didn't know what the other party's lightning point was.
Si Jun felt very stuffy.
Afterwards, when Si Jun made side comments and learned that although Luo Lang walked away very disrespectfully to the emperor, he was actually more grateful for his loyalty to the emperor in his heart, and Si Jun felt that he could no longer keep up with the times.
There is a generation gap between him and this pair of monarchs and ministers.
What about being angry?Say good feeling insulted?Although Si Jun guessed the refusal to disclose the question, he became more loyal to Liu Xun afterwards and let him go more openly. What's going on?
In the end, Si Jun could only come to one conclusion, that is, fortunately, he decided to assist Liu Xun to become emperor instead of himself.
If he goes by himself, sooner or later he will play guessing games with these officials, and guessing will collapse.
Ghosts can understand what they are thinking!
Liu Xun: Well, then am I a ghost?
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
That was the decision made during Luo Lang's imperial examination. Before he left, he recommended Xu He to Liu Xun.
Liu Xun didn't ask who Xu He was at all, and didn't intend to test the other party's loyalty, so he readily agreed.
Roland was curious: "Your Majesty knows him?"
Luo Lang remembered that Xu He's statement was not obvious, because not many people knew about it.
Even someone as well-informed as him has never heard of Xu He's name. How did His Majesty know about it?
Could it be that His Majesty really hates Xu He because of Yu Zeji?But if so, why did His Majesty agree to his recommendation?
Liu Xun said: "This man is a great talent. Whether it is grasping the general situation of the world or judging people, he is very accurate. But he is best at military affairs. It is a wrong position for me to be the master book. He should follow the front line. Fighting is the only thing. But he is not well-known now, and I will work here for a while, and I will send him out after I get to know him well with other officials. I will feel more at ease when I let him go with him when fighting Jizhou."
Luo Lang was very surprised: "Xu He didn't seem to have made any contribution under Yu Ze's command before. How did His Majesty know?"
Liu Xun thought for a while, and said, "That's right, he should have been in Zejun at this time. I've made a move, and he didn't have a chance to perform. He still doesn't have a good reputation."
Luo Lang heard Liu Xun's mysterious and mysterious statement, and immediately dared not ask.
He didn't want to hear thunder.
After being Liu Xun's master book for a long time, he couldn't help but become obsessed.This is really not his problem, but His Majesty the emperor always shows the appearance of "I am very mysterious, I know a lot, I can't say it but I can't help but let it go".
Roland was really heartbroken.
After he contacted Chen Wen and Zhai Yang by letter, Chen Wen and Zhai Yang expressed sympathy for him.
To be the master of His Majesty the Emperor, you have to come here like this.Just get used to it.Anyway, if you don't want to lose your life, just shut up, and you won't leak your mouth unless you ask His Majesty the Emperor.
Liu Xun: Who said that life would be shortened?Can I send people to arrest you for such rumors?
Cough cough, all in all, Luo Lang knows that Xu He is very good.
So Luo Lang wrote letters to Xu He more actively, discussing the general trend of the world, talking about heroes from all over the world, and discussing the art of war.
In the end, Luo Lang came to the conclusion that what His Majesty said was right. Xu He was indeed very talented, especially good at military affairs.
Roland felt relieved.
In this way, when Xu He came to be His Majesty's Registrar, he should be able to get started quickly, and he could prepare for the exam with peace of mind.
When Xu He came to Chengdu, Luo Lang personally greeted him at the gate of the city with a very bright smile on his face, and told him that the luggage will be left at his house for the time being, and that Xu He will go with him, and he will introduce someone to Xu He. people.
Although Xu He wanted to visit Luo Lang's friends after cleaning up, but Luo Lang said that the person he introduced didn't care about these formalities, and he had already agreed in advance and was waiting for Xu He to go.
Xu He thought about it and agreed.
He found out in advance that His Majesty's officialdom was very busy, maybe the person Roland wanted to introduce had a hard time finding time?
Xu He wasn't worried that Roland would harm him at all.
First, Luo Qun helped him a lot, and Roland had a good conversation with him, and he promised to protect him in front of His Majesty the Emperor, he trusted Roland;
Second, Luo Qun has a high position and power, and Luo Lang is deeply trusted by the emperor, and he is a close minister of the emperor.What interests does he have worth calculating by Roland?
So Xu He only wiped his face and hair with a handkerchief, changed his clothes in the car, looked a little neater, and got into Roland's carriage.
On the carriage, Xu He asked who Roland introduced him to.
He went through the names of the more famous officials in Chengdu in his mind, and guessed that the one Luo Lang wanted to introduce to him might be Kong Jin.
It was Wu Fu who revealed to him the friendship between Luo Lang and Kong Jin.
Kong Jin can be regarded as a commoner. Although his ancestors had a glorious past, he has not fallen so far. The two backgrounds are similar.It was appropriate for Roland to introduce him to Kong Jin.
Moreover, Kong Jin was also deeply trusted by His Majesty the Emperor, and was the only talented person whom His Majesty personally invited—although the personal invitation was said to be proposed by the company, it can also be seen that Kong Jin is special in His Majesty's heart.If Luo Lang wanted to protect him, he would have a higher success rate if he brought Kong Jin with him.
Although Xu He already felt that his guess was seven or eight points accurate, when Roland smiled mysteriously and said that he would know when he arrived, he still cooperated with Roland and made an expression that he hadn't guessed.
Xu He thought, Luo Jiaxiang is really interesting.
He was even more amusing when he got out of the carriage.
Ok.
Although Roland's carriage was authorized to drive directly into the State Shepherd's Mansion through the side door, he had to show his token to do so.
After he showed his token, he said to the guard, "The other one is Xu He."
The guard saluted with a smile and said, "Lord Luo and Master Xu, please come in."
Xu He was dumbfounded.How strict is the defense of Kong Jin's family?This is the doorman?Why doesn't it look like it?Are the clothes on his body and the knife on his waist something that ordinary guards can wear?
Even an aristocratic family wouldn't let the guards dress so brightly, would they?
Or is this actually a government office?Did Luo Lang bring him to the government office to meet Kong Jin?
Xu He sighed in his heart, the officials in Chengdu are really very busy, they don't even have time to meet guests, they can only meet in a hurry in the official office.
Xu He didn't feel that he was being treated slowly.He only felt that Kong Jin was too busy, and the relationship between Xu He and Kong Jin was really good, and Kong Jin was too busy in the government office to spare time for Luo Lang.
Xu He thought a lot about what he should say when he saw Kong Jin, so that Kong Jin would pay more attention to him and be able to speak for him in front of His Majesty the Emperor.
Even with the help of Roland, he had to work hard on his own.
He didn't think for a while, the carriage stopped, and Roland said: "Here we are, let's go down."
Xu He hurriedly followed.
As soon as he got off the carriage, he felt something was wrong.
This is a backyard, which doesn't look like a government office, but rather a residence of a wealthy family.
Although Xu He's family is in decline, he has also been to many aristocratic families to seek a future, and even worked with Yu Ze's son for a period of time, and his vision is still good.
So... this is Kong Jin's residence?But what about the doorman?Or was it specially given by His Majesty the Emperor to show how much he valued Kong Jin?But this is too important, right?
Xu He didn't dare to think about it before he had been thinking about it for a long time.
From the backyard to the destination, you have to go through several layers of yards.On the way, Xu He saw patrolling guards from time to time.This is definitely not what the official family will have.
Even if it is a family of aristocratic family, the patrols are just servants, how can they dress like this?
This, where is this? !
Xu He had an ominous premonition in his heart.
He wanted to ask, but the solemn atmosphere here made him not know how to speak.He had no choice but to silently follow behind Roland, through one corridor after another, and finally arrived at a bamboo forest path.
Walking through the bamboo forest path, there is a pool of living water inside.In the pavilion by the pond, a young man was grabbing a very strange bear-like animal and rubbing it vigorously.
Luo Lang paused, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, why are you bullying Da Gun again? Da Gun rolled his eyes."
Liu Xun said: "Bullying? How can I bully? Don't talk nonsense, I'm giving him a massage. Xiao Gun always stays on the tree and won't come down, so he can't enjoy my massage service hahaha."
Luo Lang: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to say that Xiao Gun is unwilling to go down the tree because His Majesty always rubs him."
Liu Xun let go of his hand, and gave Luo Lang a dissatisfied look: "Familiarity is familiarity, but I still owe you to slander you. Xiao Gun loves me so much, how could he do this. Well, this is Xu He, right? Alright, you can go now."
Luo Lang said: "I always have to explain a few words to him."
Liu Xun said: "I can explain what you can, Gun Gun, I don't want to see you. Do you know how much trouble you have caused me? Now it is said that your papers are piled up on my case, and some impeach you for your willful behavior , some want to follow in your footsteps and resign from the imperial examination, I get angry when I see it."
Luo Lang said with a smile: "Your Majesty will call back all of them, and I haven't seen His Majesty being embarrassed by this."
Liu Xun said: "That's what you said... Well, did you not tell Xu He that it was me that you brought him here? I think he is about to cry."
Luo Lang turned his head, and seeing Xu Hena's blank expression, which was not about to cry but was shocked, he suddenly felt a little guilty.
He rubbed his nose and said, "That...Xu Yisheng, it is His Majesty the Emperor who I brought you to see."
He paused, probably because he realized that his reflexive behavior just now was too casual with His Majesty the Emperor, so he made up a salute and said, "My lord, please greet Your Majesty."
Xu He finally came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed and kowtowed, but he bowed too hastily and fell to the ground with a stagger.
Liu Xun couldn't bear to cover his eyes: "Well, I know you respect me very much, but there is really no need to perform the five-body kowtow. Jiaxiang, help Xu He up quickly. Look at how scared he is. "
Knowing that he was wrong, Luo Lang silently helped Xu He up.
Liu Xun said: "Sit down, sit down, you don't have to be so restrained. By the way, Xu He, what did Luo Lang tell you when he brought you here?"
Xu He looked at Liu Xun with a disheveled face, and murmured, "I didn't say anything..."
Liu Xun turned around and said, "Go get a basin of water and wipe Xu He's face."
A woman in Tsing Yi flashed out of the bamboo grove, responded to Liu Xun's order, and then left.
Xu He's heart trembled.
It looks like there is only His Majesty the Emperor here, but no one knows how many people are actually hiding in the bamboo forest.He immediately felt the pressure and never dared to leave his body again.
That's right, he was scared out of his body just now.
Luo Jiaxiang, Luo Jiaxiang!It's a pity that I still treat you as a friend, so you scare me like this? !What about meeting Kong Jin?How did you become His Majesty the Emperor! (Roland: Who told you it was okay...) Moreover, he still came to see His Majesty the Emperor in a hurry, and was so frightened that he fell to the ground, disgraced, and completely ashamed!
Even if you bring him directly to see His Majesty the Emperor, can't you tell him in advance? !Can't you just let him go home and get ready? !
Luo Lang: Well, I'm sorry, I've been with His Majesty for a long time, and I can't help but have some nasty tastes.This is definitely not because His Majesty has praised you too much and wanted to tease you a little.Am I that kind of person?Only Zhai Yuchuan would do such an unreliable thing.
Di Yang, who was lying on the gun in Jiaozhou: Ah Choo!Can you catch a cold when it's so hot? ! !
However, although Luo Lang teased Xu He a little, he has been a gentleman for a long time (at least on the surface), so it was a little embarrassing to play a prank on his friend for the first time.
What's more, Xu He's reaction this time was completely different from what he expected. Just talking about that somersault left him wondering what to do.
It was Liu Xun who brought Xu He directly to His Majesty the Emperor.Liu Xun was very curious and wanted to see Xu He as soon as possible.
Although he should have met Xu He before, but as a small official next to Yu Ze's son, even if Xu He met Liu Xun, he would not be able to introduce himself "I am Xu He", so how could Liu Xun notice him?Naturally, they don't know what Xu He looks like.
From the moment Liu Xun heard that the Xun family's uncle and nephew had come to Chengdu, he hurriedly dragged Si Jun to block people, we can know how curious Liu Xun is and how strong his action is.
If Luo Lang hadn't stopped him, Liu Xun would have followed him outside the city and waited.
Luo Lang tried hard to persuade him for a long time—it was useless, it was Si Jun who said that Liu Xun was not allowed to go, and Liu Xun reluctantly agreed to let Luo Lang bring Xu He to see him, but he had to come here as soon as possible.
Liu Xun didn't care about Xu He's busy life, so Luo Lang naturally didn't have to worry that Xu He's exhausted appearance would give Liu Xun a bad impression.
In Luo Lang's expectation, although Xu He would turn pale with shock, but since His Majesty is so kind, Xu He will soon come to his senses.After recovering, Xu He will definitely be grateful to him.
This is just a little joke among friends.
If Xu He was speechless due to this little episode and unable to show his strength in front of His Majesty the Emperor, then Luo Lang had to consider whether to persuade His Majesty not to appoint Xu He as the chief secretary for the time being.
After all, His Majesty's master book requires strong psychological endurance.
Therefore, this is a joke, but also a test for Roland.
Don't talk about why Luo Lang tested Xu He.Although the two have a certain friendship, their status is different. Luo Lang is also Xu He's recommender, so of course he is qualified to test Xu He.
However, Luo Lang didn't expect Xu He to stumble while saluting.Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor does not mind.
I hope this will not affect Xu He's mentality.
Although Xu He was flustered, his performance still did not disappoint Luo Lang.
After taking a few deep breaths, his expression returned to normal, and he didn't seem to be affected by the embarrassment just now.
After Qing Ling ordered the servants to bring the water basin and handkerchief, Xu He calmly wiped his face and hands, tidied his hair, and thanked Liu Xun calmly.
Xu He is not too handsome, at least he is much worse than Luo Lang.Well, there is no need to compare with Si Jun.However, the elegant temperament still makes people feel very pleasing to the eye.Liu Xun thought in his heart.
Seeing Luo Lang's embarrassed and guilty face, Liu Xun thought that he must help Luo Lang, otherwise Xu He might end up being friends with Luo Lang.
In history, Xu He was also a vengeful person.
Though he's just as nice to his friends.
Liu Xun said: "Xu Yisheng, don't blame Jiaxiang for being abrupt, I asked him to bring you here at the first time. Well...it was my idea to conceal it. I just wanted to test it. Congratulations, you passed the test."
Xu He immediately said: "Master Luo recommended Caomin to His Majesty, and it was too late for Caomin to be grateful. How could you blame Lord Luo?"
Liu Xun said with a smirk: "Come on, don't be polite. If you didn't fall that fall just now, I would still believe your words. How can you feel at ease when you made a fool of yourself in front of me? Although you won't be able to bear grudges, you will definitely Design a little revenge. You literati, each of you has a dirty heart, and your friends are also bad friends. You can cheat each other harmlessly anytime, anywhere. But Jiaxiang is going to take the exam now, and needs a quiet environment for preparing for the exam. You have to take revenge and wait for Jiaxiang to come back Let's talk about it after we get to the officialdom. During this time, let him go for now."
Luo Lang: "..." His Majesty the Emperor is encouraging Xu He to take revenge on him?
Xu He: "..." Someone said he was heartbroken, and this person was His Majesty the Emperor. How would he refute it?
Liu Xun leaned over and patted the big rolling buttocks that were stuck at his feet.Da Gun reluctantly climbed into the bamboo forest and went to play by himself.
"Since Jiaxiang refuses to leave, tell Xu He what he needs to do." Liu Xun said lazily, "This is the person you recommended, if he doesn't do well, I will blame you , bothering you every day, and not allowing you to prepare for the exam. You know, I told the civil and military officials that you resigned from your post because you wanted to be released, but you went to prepare for the exam, and I was caught off guard. I memorized such an exam for you. One pot, if the person you recommend drags down my work, I will not forgive you."
After Liu Xun lied, he ordered that officials above a certain level were not allowed to resign and take the exam, and those who resigned and took the exam were also off the list.
As for Roland, because he resigned before his decree, he was let go.Because the law needs to be taken seriously, and it cannot be pursued afterwards.
However, what Roland resigned was the good position of His Majesty's Registrar, so no one thought that Roland had taken advantage of it, they only said that Roland was crazy (brain) and delusional (twitching).
And Luo Lang's admiration for the imperial examination made the children of the aristocratic family ready to take the exam by taking advantage of this special opportunity.
Otherwise, the next exam will have to wait three years.Three years in the officialdom, that may be a world of difference.
Luo Lang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, since I recommend Xu Yisheng, I am very confident."
Xu Yisheng dared not answer.
What exactly did Roland recommend him for? !It can't be some terrible official position, can it? ?
When Luo Lang explained the work in detail, Xu He was stunned.
Registry?Or the master book next to the emperor? !
How could such a close minister of the emperor get his turn?Isn't this the most trusted position of His Majesty the Emperor?Although the grade is not high, is it like the right and left hand of His Majesty the Emperor?
Now Xu He really can't get angry with Luo Lang's concealment.If one were to be His Majesty's master book, this little test would be too easy... No, this is not easy, but child's play!child's play!
Even though Xu He was very moved, he still declined: "Your Majesty, the grassroots just came to Yizhou, how can He De occupy such a high position. The grassroots dare not accept it!"
Liu Xun waved his hand and said, "What kind of high position is this? At present, no one is willing to continue working in this position. Chen Yuanchang and Zhai Yuchuan would rather go to Jiaozhou to enjoy the sea breeze than be the master secretary, and left the matter of the master secretary to Luo Jia Hey; Luo Jiaxiang would rather resign to prepare for the exam and get an official position again than to be the master bookkeeper, so he left the matter of the master book to you. By the way, Chen Yuanchang and Zhai Yuchuan once recommended the uncle and nephew of the Xun family, but the uncle and nephew of the Xun family gave this The two sent mat fragments; Kong Qihua and Jiaxiang were originally the bookkeepers for me, but after Jiaxiang was able to be alone, Qihua almost never appeared again. You said this position, why is it so unpopular?"
Xu He: "..."
Suddenly I feel a little flustered!What the hell is going on with this position, why are they unwilling to do it!What kind of hot potato did Roland give him!
Luo Lang smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, it's not that we don't want to do it, it's just that we want to make more contributions to His Majesty so that we can be worthy of His Majesty's favor."
Luo Lang turned his head to Xu He and said, "Yisheng, don't be alarmed. Although this position is important, it has always been reserved for people who have just come to Yizhou officialdom. Chen Yuanchang and Zhai Yuchuan have served as chief bookkeepers since they first arrived in Chengdu, and so have I. So you There's nothing wrong with your qualifications."
Xu He: "..."
absurd!Such an important position!How could someone new to the officialdom be in charge!
Luo Lang continued: "However, the requirements for this position are not low at all. Because although the position of His Majesty's master book does not depend on seniority or past, the only requirement is His Majesty's approval. Although you are recommended by me, you are still His Majesty." Only when I recognize you and trust you will I agree to my recommendation. You must not disappoint His Majesty's trust and expectations."
Xu He: "..." I couldn't understand more and more, and I didn't know how to answer it at all.
"Okay, I know you are confused now. But after you work for a while, you will probably understand." Liu Xun thought for a while and said, "They are all used to this, although I don't know how they are used to it." Yes. Since they can figure it out, you should be able to too? I can’t help you with this, you can ask Jiaxiang. Although he has to prepare for the exam, there is probably time for you to answer questions? Well, you continue to give him Tell me, what does the master need to do?"
Roland agreed.
Liu Xun's master book is to organize memorials, draft imperial edicts, and act as Liu Xun's personal consultant.In modern times, it is Liu Xun's secretary.
Liu Xun is still not good at the crooked words of officials, and he is not good at speaking crooked words. Too straightforward will scare the officials, so he needs the master book to clarify and polish.
That is to say, the master secretary must be able to keenly perceive the hidden meaning in the official memorial, and faithfully tell His Majesty the emperor the meaning intact, and also keenly understand the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor, and after polishing it, tactfully Tell the officials.
It can be seen that the master book not only needs stronger ability, but also must be very loyal to the emperor.
Xu He was under a lot of pressure.
He just came to Chengdu, and he was once a small official under Yu Ze's command. How could He De be in this position?
He said so before, but now he really thinks so after listening to the director's work.
Can he really sit in this position?Why does His Majesty the Emperor trust him?How could other officials agree with His Majesty the Emperor's recklessness?
The work of the master book is of course difficult, but it is quite simple to explain, and Luo Lang quickly explained everything to Xu He.
He will take Xu He to do book work for a period of time.But at most one month, Luo Lang will leave everything to Xu He and read behind closed doors.
Although the exam is still half a year away, Luo Lang has to compete with so many people, so he still has to study hard and practice calligraphy.
Liu Xun stipulated that the examination paper should have a unified font, which is now Lishu.He had to practice Lishu well.
Originally, Liu Xun wanted to speak regular script.Regular script characters are square and round, which is more in line with the neatness of the test papers, and because of the standardized form, it is also better promoted.But now it's only half a year, and the promotion of regular script is really tight.After the next exam, Liu Xun stipulated to use regular script.
Three years is enough time for those who want to take the exam to practice new fonts.
Xu He became more and more uncertain, and he declined again, this time with sincerity and fear: "This person has a lot to do with it! Your Majesty, please take it back!"
Liu Xun said: "No. Well, everyone has to come up with such a refusal, and I have never agreed to it. Work hard, I am optimistic about you."
Xu He continued to decline: "... But Your Majesty, the other courtiers will definitely not agree to the fact that Caomin is given such a high position."
Liu Xun said: "I have always had the final say on the position of the master. It is useless for anyone to protest. At most, they will envy you. It is mediocrity who is not envied by others, just get used to it."
As a person whose way of doing things is to keep a low profile when he first arrives in an environment, Xu He feels that the pressure is even greater.
Luo Lang patted Xu He's shoulder: "Yes, just get used to it."
That is to say, being invited from time to time to discuss, just get used to it.
Thinking about the days when he first came to Chengdu, Luo Lang couldn't help heaving a long sigh.
Although he had heard that Luo Qun and Luo Lang wanted to take the imperial examination, since Luo Lang proposed that officials should not be allowed to go to the imperial examination for the first time, the courtiers agreed unanimously, and he thought that Luo Lang was going to give up.
Who knew that Laurent was going to resign?
Liu Xun really didn't understand.
You said that the imperial examination is for being an official, and you have become the master of the emperor. How many people envy you, what else do you take?Is it possible to leave the opportunity to the latecomers?
Roland said no.He just wants to be the No. [-] pick.
Liu Xun said honestly: "The imperial examination is based on the system of ambiguous names, and the test results may happen by accident. You may not be able to be the number one scholar."
Luo Lang said that he was unmoved, and he would definitely be admitted to the top prize.
It was the first time that Liu Xun was depressed by someone.He used to be depressing.
He cited many examples of talented scholars of all dynasties who failed in the imperial examination, trying to dispel Luo Lang's attempt to resign and prepare for the exam.Luo Lang was very interested in Liu Xun's unheard of talents in countries that were similar to big men but had different backgrounds, but he was unmoved.
At this time, Luo Lang seemed to be possessed by Liu Xun and turned into a wayward baby.
No, I don't, just no, no no no.
Liu Xun felt like he was about to vomit blood.
He earnestly said: "What's so good about this number one scholar?"
Luo Lang said: "Is it okay to be the first champion since the beginning of the world?"
Liu Xun raised his forehead: "Do you lack this reputation?"
Seeing that Liu Xun had been persuading him, Luo Lang was a little surprised and a little moved.
What moved me was that Liu Xun persuaded him completely on the side that was good to him; what surprised me was that, as the emperor, Liu Xun persuaded him as a friend.
Luo Lang thought to himself, as a friend said, after staying with His Majesty the Emperor for a long time, it is difficult to treat His Majesty the Emperor as a king.
Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.
So Luo Lang told the truth in a rare way this time: "The Luo family rebelled before, although His Majesty didn't care about it, it was a big blow to the Luo family's reputation. Now that my father has become an official, I dare to give it a go. If I win The reputation of the number one scholar can always wash away the stigma of the Luo family."
Roland paused for a moment, then continued: "Besides, this time, the noble families will definitely wait and see. Most of the scholars who come here must be the children of the common clan. It is all occupied by the children of the common clan, so there is no telling what the official family will do. My resignation to prepare for the exam is also a good thing for the promotion of the imperial examination."
Liu Xun pondered.
It was indeed as Roland said.Although the aristocratic family has not raised any objections, they certainly will not immediately "decline their status" to the examiner.If Jinshi and Yijia are all the children of the common clan, maybe they will use this to criticize the imperial examination for selecting scholars, saying that these people were admitted to official positions because the aristocratic family did not end up, saying that the gold content of Jinshi and even Yijia is not enough, and it is made for Jinshi to confer officials. obstacle.
If Roland takes the exam, this obstacle will be removed.
Because some of the Luo family had rebellious behavior, but because Luo Qun and Luo Lang and his son took refuge with Liu Xun early in the morning, and a large part of the family supported Luo Qun and Luo Lang and his son, the Luo family did not suffer a devastating blow, and it was still a good place in Jiangdong. One of the best wealthy families.
Because Liu Xun trusts Luo Qun, Luo Lang and his son, the future of the Luo family is even more limitless.
It can be said that it is already foreseeable that the Luo family will rank first in the entire Han family in the future.
Roland himself has long been famous and is very famous in the family.If he takes the exam, he can completely represent the talented children of the aristocratic family, and he will also be tempted to win the imperial examination.
With him as the leader, some children from aristocratic families who have an imperial examination mind will also turn their hearts into hearts.
What's more, Luo Lang resigned from the official position of the emperor's registrar and had to take the imperial examination, which made the imperial examination even more important for a while.
Therefore, Luo Lang's participation in the imperial examination is indeed beneficial and harmless.
The only person whose interests may be harmed is Roland.Because the imperial examination also requires a certain amount of luck in addition to talent. After all, it is a system of vague names, and Liu Xun is planning to promote regular script as the "examination font". The examiner does not know who the examinee is, and will not give you Luo Lang face.
If the examiner's personal hobbies are opposite to those of Luo Lang, no matter how well written the article is, Luo Lang may not be selected.
Luo Lang has built up such a big momentum, if he fails the imperial examination, it will definitely deal a huge blow to his personal reputation.
In fact, Roland didn't need to take such a risk at all.
Liu Xun sighed and said, "Since you have said so, how can I object?"
Luo Lang smiled and said: "If Your Majesty has confidence in me, I will definitely be able to enter the palace examination. If I enter the palace examination, the ranking will not be determined by Your Majesty?"
Liu Xun nodded: "That's right, Tanhua..."
Roland frowned: "Your Majesty!"
Liu Xun slammed his face on the table and said, "Tan Hua wants the most handsome, this is my obsession."
Luo Lang said: "Do I need to disfigure my face before the imperial examination?"
Liu Xun cried and chirped.
Luo Lang has already talked about this, what else can Liu Xun do?
Liu Xun could only struggle and said: "Then you have to perform well in the imperial examination. If there is one person who performs as well as you, and the rest of the examiners agree that his talent is similar to yours, then I will choose you as a candidate. No. [-] is impossible, not in this life." possible."
The corner of Roland's mouth twitched: "I will work hard."
Liu Xun sighed: "But since you have made such a sacrifice, I can't treat you badly."
Luo Lang knew that Liu Xun would definitely compensate him. After all, His Majesty is still soft-hearted and protective towards his own people as always. He is really worried that if someone trusted by His Majesty betrays him, what will His Majesty do?
Roland said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to do that."
Liu Xun said: "There must be. Don't worry, when the exam papers come out, I will leak the exam questions before the palace exam to you. You only need to use your own strength to take the last exam."
Roland: "..."
Roland: "Farewell!"
Roland left in a huff with no regard for the etiquette of the monarch and his subjects.
Liu Xun shouted from behind: "Don't go! I'm doing it for your own good too! Come back!"
Roland was very angry.
No appointment, get out, even if you are the emperor, I don't want to talk to you anymore! ! !
Angry, the kind that can't be coaxed!
So Si Jun, who had been on patrol recently, came home and saw Liu Xun, who was frowning, and asked what happened.
When Si Jun learned the cause and effect, he could only give Liu Xun an ellipsis as an answer.
What do you say is not good, to tell Roland the question?Luo Lang is arrogant. If you let him cheat, he won't beat you up because he is afraid that you are the emperor.
To be honest, Liu Xun's temper, if not for the emperor, would have been beaten to death long ago.He simply didn't know what the other party's lightning point was.
Si Jun felt very stuffy.
Afterwards, when Si Jun made side comments and learned that although Luo Lang walked away very disrespectfully to the emperor, he was actually more grateful for his loyalty to the emperor in his heart, and Si Jun felt that he could no longer keep up with the times.
There is a generation gap between him and this pair of monarchs and ministers.
What about being angry?Say good feeling insulted?Although Si Jun guessed the refusal to disclose the question, he became more loyal to Liu Xun afterwards and let him go more openly. What's going on?
In the end, Si Jun could only come to one conclusion, that is, fortunately, he decided to assist Liu Xun to become emperor instead of himself.
If he goes by himself, sooner or later he will play guessing games with these officials, and guessing will collapse.
Ghosts can understand what they are thinking!
Liu Xun: Well, then am I a ghost?
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
That was the decision made during Luo Lang's imperial examination. Before he left, he recommended Xu He to Liu Xun.
Liu Xun didn't ask who Xu He was at all, and didn't intend to test the other party's loyalty, so he readily agreed.
Roland was curious: "Your Majesty knows him?"
Luo Lang remembered that Xu He's statement was not obvious, because not many people knew about it.
Even someone as well-informed as him has never heard of Xu He's name. How did His Majesty know about it?
Could it be that His Majesty really hates Xu He because of Yu Zeji?But if so, why did His Majesty agree to his recommendation?
Liu Xun said: "This man is a great talent. Whether it is grasping the general situation of the world or judging people, he is very accurate. But he is best at military affairs. It is a wrong position for me to be the master book. He should follow the front line. Fighting is the only thing. But he is not well-known now, and I will work here for a while, and I will send him out after I get to know him well with other officials. I will feel more at ease when I let him go with him when fighting Jizhou."
Luo Lang was very surprised: "Xu He didn't seem to have made any contribution under Yu Ze's command before. How did His Majesty know?"
Liu Xun thought for a while, and said, "That's right, he should have been in Zejun at this time. I've made a move, and he didn't have a chance to perform. He still doesn't have a good reputation."
Luo Lang heard Liu Xun's mysterious and mysterious statement, and immediately dared not ask.
He didn't want to hear thunder.
After being Liu Xun's master book for a long time, he couldn't help but become obsessed.This is really not his problem, but His Majesty the emperor always shows the appearance of "I am very mysterious, I know a lot, I can't say it but I can't help but let it go".
Roland was really heartbroken.
After he contacted Chen Wen and Zhai Yang by letter, Chen Wen and Zhai Yang expressed sympathy for him.
To be the master of His Majesty the Emperor, you have to come here like this.Just get used to it.Anyway, if you don't want to lose your life, just shut up, and you won't leak your mouth unless you ask His Majesty the Emperor.
Liu Xun: Who said that life would be shortened?Can I send people to arrest you for such rumors?
Cough cough, all in all, Luo Lang knows that Xu He is very good.
So Luo Lang wrote letters to Xu He more actively, discussing the general trend of the world, talking about heroes from all over the world, and discussing the art of war.
In the end, Luo Lang came to the conclusion that what His Majesty said was right. Xu He was indeed very talented, especially good at military affairs.
Roland felt relieved.
In this way, when Xu He came to be His Majesty's Registrar, he should be able to get started quickly, and he could prepare for the exam with peace of mind.
When Xu He came to Chengdu, Luo Lang personally greeted him at the gate of the city with a very bright smile on his face, and told him that the luggage will be left at his house for the time being, and that Xu He will go with him, and he will introduce someone to Xu He. people.
Although Xu He wanted to visit Luo Lang's friends after cleaning up, but Luo Lang said that the person he introduced didn't care about these formalities, and he had already agreed in advance and was waiting for Xu He to go.
Xu He thought about it and agreed.
He found out in advance that His Majesty's officialdom was very busy, maybe the person Roland wanted to introduce had a hard time finding time?
Xu He wasn't worried that Roland would harm him at all.
First, Luo Qun helped him a lot, and Roland had a good conversation with him, and he promised to protect him in front of His Majesty the Emperor, he trusted Roland;
Second, Luo Qun has a high position and power, and Luo Lang is deeply trusted by the emperor, and he is a close minister of the emperor.What interests does he have worth calculating by Roland?
So Xu He only wiped his face and hair with a handkerchief, changed his clothes in the car, looked a little neater, and got into Roland's carriage.
On the carriage, Xu He asked who Roland introduced him to.
He went through the names of the more famous officials in Chengdu in his mind, and guessed that the one Luo Lang wanted to introduce to him might be Kong Jin.
It was Wu Fu who revealed to him the friendship between Luo Lang and Kong Jin.
Kong Jin can be regarded as a commoner. Although his ancestors had a glorious past, he has not fallen so far. The two backgrounds are similar.It was appropriate for Roland to introduce him to Kong Jin.
Moreover, Kong Jin was also deeply trusted by His Majesty the Emperor, and was the only talented person whom His Majesty personally invited—although the personal invitation was said to be proposed by the company, it can also be seen that Kong Jin is special in His Majesty's heart.If Luo Lang wanted to protect him, he would have a higher success rate if he brought Kong Jin with him.
Although Xu He already felt that his guess was seven or eight points accurate, when Roland smiled mysteriously and said that he would know when he arrived, he still cooperated with Roland and made an expression that he hadn't guessed.
Xu He thought, Luo Jiaxiang is really interesting.
He was even more amusing when he got out of the carriage.
Ok.
Although Roland's carriage was authorized to drive directly into the State Shepherd's Mansion through the side door, he had to show his token to do so.
After he showed his token, he said to the guard, "The other one is Xu He."
The guard saluted with a smile and said, "Lord Luo and Master Xu, please come in."
Xu He was dumbfounded.How strict is the defense of Kong Jin's family?This is the doorman?Why doesn't it look like it?Are the clothes on his body and the knife on his waist something that ordinary guards can wear?
Even an aristocratic family wouldn't let the guards dress so brightly, would they?
Or is this actually a government office?Did Luo Lang bring him to the government office to meet Kong Jin?
Xu He sighed in his heart, the officials in Chengdu are really very busy, they don't even have time to meet guests, they can only meet in a hurry in the official office.
Xu He didn't feel that he was being treated slowly.He only felt that Kong Jin was too busy, and the relationship between Xu He and Kong Jin was really good, and Kong Jin was too busy in the government office to spare time for Luo Lang.
Xu He thought a lot about what he should say when he saw Kong Jin, so that Kong Jin would pay more attention to him and be able to speak for him in front of His Majesty the Emperor.
Even with the help of Roland, he had to work hard on his own.
He didn't think for a while, the carriage stopped, and Roland said: "Here we are, let's go down."
Xu He hurriedly followed.
As soon as he got off the carriage, he felt something was wrong.
This is a backyard, which doesn't look like a government office, but rather a residence of a wealthy family.
Although Xu He's family is in decline, he has also been to many aristocratic families to seek a future, and even worked with Yu Ze's son for a period of time, and his vision is still good.
So... this is Kong Jin's residence?But what about the doorman?Or was it specially given by His Majesty the Emperor to show how much he valued Kong Jin?But this is too important, right?
Xu He didn't dare to think about it before he had been thinking about it for a long time.
From the backyard to the destination, you have to go through several layers of yards.On the way, Xu He saw patrolling guards from time to time.This is definitely not what the official family will have.
Even if it is a family of aristocratic family, the patrols are just servants, how can they dress like this?
This, where is this? !
Xu He had an ominous premonition in his heart.
He wanted to ask, but the solemn atmosphere here made him not know how to speak.He had no choice but to silently follow behind Roland, through one corridor after another, and finally arrived at a bamboo forest path.
Walking through the bamboo forest path, there is a pool of living water inside.In the pavilion by the pond, a young man was grabbing a very strange bear-like animal and rubbing it vigorously.
Luo Lang paused, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, why are you bullying Da Gun again? Da Gun rolled his eyes."
Liu Xun said: "Bullying? How can I bully? Don't talk nonsense, I'm giving him a massage. Xiao Gun always stays on the tree and won't come down, so he can't enjoy my massage service hahaha."
Luo Lang: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to say that Xiao Gun is unwilling to go down the tree because His Majesty always rubs him."
Liu Xun let go of his hand, and gave Luo Lang a dissatisfied look: "Familiarity is familiarity, but I still owe you to slander you. Xiao Gun loves me so much, how could he do this. Well, this is Xu He, right? Alright, you can go now."
Luo Lang said: "I always have to explain a few words to him."
Liu Xun said: "I can explain what you can, Gun Gun, I don't want to see you. Do you know how much trouble you have caused me? Now it is said that your papers are piled up on my case, and some impeach you for your willful behavior , some want to follow in your footsteps and resign from the imperial examination, I get angry when I see it."
Luo Lang said with a smile: "Your Majesty will call back all of them, and I haven't seen His Majesty being embarrassed by this."
Liu Xun said: "That's what you said... Well, did you not tell Xu He that it was me that you brought him here? I think he is about to cry."
Luo Lang turned his head, and seeing Xu Hena's blank expression, which was not about to cry but was shocked, he suddenly felt a little guilty.
He rubbed his nose and said, "That...Xu Yisheng, it is His Majesty the Emperor who I brought you to see."
He paused, probably because he realized that his reflexive behavior just now was too casual with His Majesty the Emperor, so he made up a salute and said, "My lord, please greet Your Majesty."
Xu He finally came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed and kowtowed, but he bowed too hastily and fell to the ground with a stagger.
Liu Xun couldn't bear to cover his eyes: "Well, I know you respect me very much, but there is really no need to perform the five-body kowtow. Jiaxiang, help Xu He up quickly. Look at how scared he is. "
Knowing that he was wrong, Luo Lang silently helped Xu He up.
Liu Xun said: "Sit down, sit down, you don't have to be so restrained. By the way, Xu He, what did Luo Lang tell you when he brought you here?"
Xu He looked at Liu Xun with a disheveled face, and murmured, "I didn't say anything..."
Liu Xun turned around and said, "Go get a basin of water and wipe Xu He's face."
A woman in Tsing Yi flashed out of the bamboo grove, responded to Liu Xun's order, and then left.
Xu He's heart trembled.
It looks like there is only His Majesty the Emperor here, but no one knows how many people are actually hiding in the bamboo forest.He immediately felt the pressure and never dared to leave his body again.
That's right, he was scared out of his body just now.
Luo Jiaxiang, Luo Jiaxiang!It's a pity that I still treat you as a friend, so you scare me like this? !What about meeting Kong Jin?How did you become His Majesty the Emperor! (Roland: Who told you it was okay...) Moreover, he still came to see His Majesty the Emperor in a hurry, and was so frightened that he fell to the ground, disgraced, and completely ashamed!
Even if you bring him directly to see His Majesty the Emperor, can't you tell him in advance? !Can't you just let him go home and get ready? !
Luo Lang: Well, I'm sorry, I've been with His Majesty for a long time, and I can't help but have some nasty tastes.This is definitely not because His Majesty has praised you too much and wanted to tease you a little.Am I that kind of person?Only Zhai Yuchuan would do such an unreliable thing.
Di Yang, who was lying on the gun in Jiaozhou: Ah Choo!Can you catch a cold when it's so hot? ! !
However, although Luo Lang teased Xu He a little, he has been a gentleman for a long time (at least on the surface), so it was a little embarrassing to play a prank on his friend for the first time.
What's more, Xu He's reaction this time was completely different from what he expected. Just talking about that somersault left him wondering what to do.
It was Liu Xun who brought Xu He directly to His Majesty the Emperor.Liu Xun was very curious and wanted to see Xu He as soon as possible.
Although he should have met Xu He before, but as a small official next to Yu Ze's son, even if Xu He met Liu Xun, he would not be able to introduce himself "I am Xu He", so how could Liu Xun notice him?Naturally, they don't know what Xu He looks like.
From the moment Liu Xun heard that the Xun family's uncle and nephew had come to Chengdu, he hurriedly dragged Si Jun to block people, we can know how curious Liu Xun is and how strong his action is.
If Luo Lang hadn't stopped him, Liu Xun would have followed him outside the city and waited.
Luo Lang tried hard to persuade him for a long time—it was useless, it was Si Jun who said that Liu Xun was not allowed to go, and Liu Xun reluctantly agreed to let Luo Lang bring Xu He to see him, but he had to come here as soon as possible.
Liu Xun didn't care about Xu He's busy life, so Luo Lang naturally didn't have to worry that Xu He's exhausted appearance would give Liu Xun a bad impression.
In Luo Lang's expectation, although Xu He would turn pale with shock, but since His Majesty is so kind, Xu He will soon come to his senses.After recovering, Xu He will definitely be grateful to him.
This is just a little joke among friends.
If Xu He was speechless due to this little episode and unable to show his strength in front of His Majesty the Emperor, then Luo Lang had to consider whether to persuade His Majesty not to appoint Xu He as the chief secretary for the time being.
After all, His Majesty's master book requires strong psychological endurance.
Therefore, this is a joke, but also a test for Roland.
Don't talk about why Luo Lang tested Xu He.Although the two have a certain friendship, their status is different. Luo Lang is also Xu He's recommender, so of course he is qualified to test Xu He.
However, Luo Lang didn't expect Xu He to stumble while saluting.Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor does not mind.
I hope this will not affect Xu He's mentality.
Although Xu He was flustered, his performance still did not disappoint Luo Lang.
After taking a few deep breaths, his expression returned to normal, and he didn't seem to be affected by the embarrassment just now.
After Qing Ling ordered the servants to bring the water basin and handkerchief, Xu He calmly wiped his face and hands, tidied his hair, and thanked Liu Xun calmly.
Xu He is not too handsome, at least he is much worse than Luo Lang.Well, there is no need to compare with Si Jun.However, the elegant temperament still makes people feel very pleasing to the eye.Liu Xun thought in his heart.
Seeing Luo Lang's embarrassed and guilty face, Liu Xun thought that he must help Luo Lang, otherwise Xu He might end up being friends with Luo Lang.
In history, Xu He was also a vengeful person.
Though he's just as nice to his friends.
Liu Xun said: "Xu Yisheng, don't blame Jiaxiang for being abrupt, I asked him to bring you here at the first time. Well...it was my idea to conceal it. I just wanted to test it. Congratulations, you passed the test."
Xu He immediately said: "Master Luo recommended Caomin to His Majesty, and it was too late for Caomin to be grateful. How could you blame Lord Luo?"
Liu Xun said with a smirk: "Come on, don't be polite. If you didn't fall that fall just now, I would still believe your words. How can you feel at ease when you made a fool of yourself in front of me? Although you won't be able to bear grudges, you will definitely Design a little revenge. You literati, each of you has a dirty heart, and your friends are also bad friends. You can cheat each other harmlessly anytime, anywhere. But Jiaxiang is going to take the exam now, and needs a quiet environment for preparing for the exam. You have to take revenge and wait for Jiaxiang to come back Let's talk about it after we get to the officialdom. During this time, let him go for now."
Luo Lang: "..." His Majesty the Emperor is encouraging Xu He to take revenge on him?
Xu He: "..." Someone said he was heartbroken, and this person was His Majesty the Emperor. How would he refute it?
Liu Xun leaned over and patted the big rolling buttocks that were stuck at his feet.Da Gun reluctantly climbed into the bamboo forest and went to play by himself.
"Since Jiaxiang refuses to leave, tell Xu He what he needs to do." Liu Xun said lazily, "This is the person you recommended, if he doesn't do well, I will blame you , bothering you every day, and not allowing you to prepare for the exam. You know, I told the civil and military officials that you resigned from your post because you wanted to be released, but you went to prepare for the exam, and I was caught off guard. I memorized such an exam for you. One pot, if the person you recommend drags down my work, I will not forgive you."
After Liu Xun lied, he ordered that officials above a certain level were not allowed to resign and take the exam, and those who resigned and took the exam were also off the list.
As for Roland, because he resigned before his decree, he was let go.Because the law needs to be taken seriously, and it cannot be pursued afterwards.
However, what Roland resigned was the good position of His Majesty's Registrar, so no one thought that Roland had taken advantage of it, they only said that Roland was crazy (brain) and delusional (twitching).
And Luo Lang's admiration for the imperial examination made the children of the aristocratic family ready to take the exam by taking advantage of this special opportunity.
Otherwise, the next exam will have to wait three years.Three years in the officialdom, that may be a world of difference.
Luo Lang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, since I recommend Xu Yisheng, I am very confident."
Xu Yisheng dared not answer.
What exactly did Roland recommend him for? !It can't be some terrible official position, can it? ?
When Luo Lang explained the work in detail, Xu He was stunned.
Registry?Or the master book next to the emperor? !
How could such a close minister of the emperor get his turn?Isn't this the most trusted position of His Majesty the Emperor?Although the grade is not high, is it like the right and left hand of His Majesty the Emperor?
Now Xu He really can't get angry with Luo Lang's concealment.If one were to be His Majesty's master book, this little test would be too easy... No, this is not easy, but child's play!child's play!
Even though Xu He was very moved, he still declined: "Your Majesty, the grassroots just came to Yizhou, how can He De occupy such a high position. The grassroots dare not accept it!"
Liu Xun waved his hand and said, "What kind of high position is this? At present, no one is willing to continue working in this position. Chen Yuanchang and Zhai Yuchuan would rather go to Jiaozhou to enjoy the sea breeze than be the master secretary, and left the matter of the master secretary to Luo Jia Hey; Luo Jiaxiang would rather resign to prepare for the exam and get an official position again than to be the master bookkeeper, so he left the matter of the master book to you. By the way, Chen Yuanchang and Zhai Yuchuan once recommended the uncle and nephew of the Xun family, but the uncle and nephew of the Xun family gave this The two sent mat fragments; Kong Qihua and Jiaxiang were originally the bookkeepers for me, but after Jiaxiang was able to be alone, Qihua almost never appeared again. You said this position, why is it so unpopular?"
Xu He: "..."
Suddenly I feel a little flustered!What the hell is going on with this position, why are they unwilling to do it!What kind of hot potato did Roland give him!
Luo Lang smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, it's not that we don't want to do it, it's just that we want to make more contributions to His Majesty so that we can be worthy of His Majesty's favor."
Luo Lang turned his head to Xu He and said, "Yisheng, don't be alarmed. Although this position is important, it has always been reserved for people who have just come to Yizhou officialdom. Chen Yuanchang and Zhai Yuchuan have served as chief bookkeepers since they first arrived in Chengdu, and so have I. So you There's nothing wrong with your qualifications."
Xu He: "..."
absurd!Such an important position!How could someone new to the officialdom be in charge!
Luo Lang continued: "However, the requirements for this position are not low at all. Because although the position of His Majesty's master book does not depend on seniority or past, the only requirement is His Majesty's approval. Although you are recommended by me, you are still His Majesty." Only when I recognize you and trust you will I agree to my recommendation. You must not disappoint His Majesty's trust and expectations."
Xu He: "..." I couldn't understand more and more, and I didn't know how to answer it at all.
"Okay, I know you are confused now. But after you work for a while, you will probably understand." Liu Xun thought for a while and said, "They are all used to this, although I don't know how they are used to it." Yes. Since they can figure it out, you should be able to too? I can’t help you with this, you can ask Jiaxiang. Although he has to prepare for the exam, there is probably time for you to answer questions? Well, you continue to give him Tell me, what does the master need to do?"
Roland agreed.
Liu Xun's master book is to organize memorials, draft imperial edicts, and act as Liu Xun's personal consultant.In modern times, it is Liu Xun's secretary.
Liu Xun is still not good at the crooked words of officials, and he is not good at speaking crooked words. Too straightforward will scare the officials, so he needs the master book to clarify and polish.
That is to say, the master secretary must be able to keenly perceive the hidden meaning in the official memorial, and faithfully tell His Majesty the emperor the meaning intact, and also keenly understand the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor, and after polishing it, tactfully Tell the officials.
It can be seen that the master book not only needs stronger ability, but also must be very loyal to the emperor.
Xu He was under a lot of pressure.
He just came to Chengdu, and he was once a small official under Yu Ze's command. How could He De be in this position?
He said so before, but now he really thinks so after listening to the director's work.
Can he really sit in this position?Why does His Majesty the Emperor trust him?How could other officials agree with His Majesty the Emperor's recklessness?
The work of the master book is of course difficult, but it is quite simple to explain, and Luo Lang quickly explained everything to Xu He.
He will take Xu He to do book work for a period of time.But at most one month, Luo Lang will leave everything to Xu He and read behind closed doors.
Although the exam is still half a year away, Luo Lang has to compete with so many people, so he still has to study hard and practice calligraphy.
Liu Xun stipulated that the examination paper should have a unified font, which is now Lishu.He had to practice Lishu well.
Originally, Liu Xun wanted to speak regular script.Regular script characters are square and round, which is more in line with the neatness of the test papers, and because of the standardized form, it is also better promoted.But now it's only half a year, and the promotion of regular script is really tight.After the next exam, Liu Xun stipulated to use regular script.
Three years is enough time for those who want to take the exam to practice new fonts.
Xu He became more and more uncertain, and he declined again, this time with sincerity and fear: "This person has a lot to do with it! Your Majesty, please take it back!"
Liu Xun said: "No. Well, everyone has to come up with such a refusal, and I have never agreed to it. Work hard, I am optimistic about you."
Xu He continued to decline: "... But Your Majesty, the other courtiers will definitely not agree to the fact that Caomin is given such a high position."
Liu Xun said: "I have always had the final say on the position of the master. It is useless for anyone to protest. At most, they will envy you. It is mediocrity who is not envied by others, just get used to it."
As a person whose way of doing things is to keep a low profile when he first arrives in an environment, Xu He feels that the pressure is even greater.
Luo Lang patted Xu He's shoulder: "Yes, just get used to it."
That is to say, being invited from time to time to discuss, just get used to it.
Thinking about the days when he first came to Chengdu, Luo Lang couldn't help heaving a long sigh.
