A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 406 This Is a Counterattack

Su Yan saw the official family, but he didn't pay attention at all, nor did he remember that he had given the old man a Taixue steamed bun.

He was concentrating on the topic. Poetry, lyrics and poetry were not his strong point, but he had no problem producing it.

However, he has some insights into the theory of water and Taoism.

Shen An once talked about the debate about the diversion of the Yellow River. One of his sarcastic remarks included the argument that water is more important than the road.

Of course plagiarism is not allowed, but Su Yan remembered what Shen An said: Water is both good and evil, it all depends on human beings' use and guidance.

Forcibly changing the course of the Yellow River is evil!

Su Yan thought firmly, and gradually an article began to develop.

After finally answering the questions, he looked up and saw that the official family was still there.

The examiner was too embarrassed to drink and eat meat when the official family was there, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

When the time is up, the papers will be collected. Someone will seal the papers and wait for the review scores.

Everyone bowed to the official, who smiled and said: "We are all the pillars of the country. We must study hard. Don't be anxious or arrogant. I'm waiting for you in the court. Try your best!"

This expectation was so touching that some of the candidates even choked up.

The official is over fifty years old, and he is waiting for everyone in the court, but how long does it take to go from an ordinary official to a prime minister?

At least twenty years, right?

But this ardent hope expressed the official's love for talents, and everyone was moved and then resigned.

After leaving the imperial city, Su Yan looked at the sunshine outside and felt like he was in a dream.

"Da Lang!"

"Su Yan!"

Su Yi kept waiting. When he was hungry, he ate dry pancakes made at home, and then went to the stall nearby to beg for a bowl of noodle soup. He felt very comfortable.

Su Yan glanced at Guo Qian, bowed, and then walked towards his father.

"Daddy."

Su Yihan smiled and said, "Let's go home. Daddy bought some mutton."

The Su family ate mutton only a handful of times, but Su Yi was willing to spend money today and even bought wine to celebrate his son's success at night.

Su Yan went to Guo Qian's side, where students were already gathered.

"Sacrifice wine, I think it's okay, especially that poem."

"Sacrifice wine, the water of a certain person is as good as Taoism..."

"..."

Everyone was chattering for a while, Guo Qian listened with a smile and praised a few words from time to time.

When it was Su Yan's turn, he just smiled and said, "Sacrifice wine, student... I don't know if it's good or not, I'm afraid it's not good."

Guo Qian said: "During the provincial examination, the examiner said that although your literary talent was not outstanding, you could see the sincerity in your articles, so they specially admitted you. But this is the palace examination. Although it does not depose anyone, your literary talent is far from enough. …”

He felt that these words were a bit hurtful, so he patted Su Yan on the shoulder: "But it's enough to take part in the palace examination, and you will be an official when you come out. Su Yan, go home and have a good rest, and then find some officials to ask for advice on how to be an official... lest……"

You were still working hard a while ago, and you will be an official soon. Do you understand being an official? Do you understand the twists and turns of officialdom?

Su Yan shook his head in panic, and the students all laughed.

If you don't understand, you will suffer. If you don't understand, you will drown in the officialdom.

Zhu Yun lost to Su Yan in the provincial examination last time. At first, he thought that Su Yan was a clumsy person, but later he found out that it was because of the examiner.

So he held his breath during this palace examination and vowed to make Su Yan disgraced.

He said solemnly: "There is no room for forgery in the palace examination. Now that I, a Taixue student, have entered that place and picked up that pen, I will take Taixue as my top priority, work hard to do the questions well, and bring honor to Taixue!"

Everyone nodded.

This is the gesture only a leader can have. Zhu Yun raised his head slightly and said with a smile: "Although Su Yan has passed the test, he will have a long official career. The ups and downs in the officialdom are beyond your imagination. You must listen carefully to the teachings given by Jijiu. If you look back, If you can't find an official to ask for advice...you can come to Taixue, where we can all be classmates, and I can teach you more or less, and at least save you from taking some detours..."

The words were spoken very kindly, but the aura of superiority and the pride of having Zhizhu in hand could not be concealed at all.

Su Yan smiled innocently and was about to thank him when someone from the outside shouted: "Where is Su Yan?"

Su Yan raised his head and shouted: "He is here."

A path opened outside and a man came in.

The man first raised his hands to Guo Qian and said, "The villain is an honest man. The master of the house is Shen An. Today, the villain came on orders and I offended him."

Guo Qian said happily: "Shen An is back?"

The situation in the Imperial College today was all caused by Shen An. Because of his absence, Guo Qian enjoyed a lot of glory, but he could not take away the credit.

The students were immediately in awe.

They would naturally ignore other people's housekeepers, but this was different.

Their gratitude to Shen An led them to make an inappropriate move: they bowed their hands to a butler.

Zhuang Laoshi quickly returned the gift, and then said: "Lang Jun has not returned yet, but he made an explanation before leaving. He said that if Su Yan passes the provincial examination, there will be some explanation after the palace examination."

Su Yan immediately stood up with his hands tied.

This attitude is very good.

Zhuang Laoshi didn't know why his husband cared so much about this silly and honest student, but he still followed Shen An's explanation and said: "Lang Jun said that since ancient times, it has been difficult to be an official. How to be an official, what kind of official? From then on? You have been tested since you entered the officialdom, and this test will continue until you become an official.

It is difficult to define what kind of official you should be, but there is only one rule: you should be an official who can live up to your own conscience. We must consistently maintain our original aspirations. This is the way to be a human being and an official. "

"Yes, students are welcome to be taught."

Su Yan bowed, and the students followed suit.

This is Shen An's teachings and a reminder for their future career.

Zhu Yun's face looked a little ugly.

He was very grateful to Shen An, but even without Shen An, he would have been able to get through all the way according to his qualifications.

But now Shen An doesn't pay attention to his genius, but only cares about that silly boy Su Yan, which makes people feel depressed and resentful.

Zhuang Laoshi smiled and said: "My husband also told me that from tomorrow onwards, you can go to the Third Division to do odd jobs."

What?

The teachers and students were a little confused.

Now that everyone has just come out of the palace examination, the first thing to do is to rest and then celebrate. Such days will continue until the palace examination results.

During this period, everyone will find some connections to contact some officials and ask for advice on how to be an official.

Su Yan was born as a coolie, so he couldn't find anyone to ask for this knowledge, so Zhu Yun had a sense of superiority.

But Shen An took action.

The first move was to let him go to the Third Division.

Damn it!

That's Sansi!

The Song Dynasty was a land of wealth. Anyone who could learn something there would benefit from it in the future.

The students' eyes turned green with envy, but there was nothing they could do.

Who let Su Yan win Shen An's favor?

Now Su Yan was very proud. After being awarded the title, he only needed to say that he had worked as a miscellaneous person in the third department, and he was guaranteed to be like a fish in water.

Su Yan lowered his head, sniffed, and blinked frequently.

Su Yi didn't know what this meant, but he knew that ordinary people in the Third Division could not enter, so he said anxiously: "Thank you, Daizhao, Da Lang... Da Lang will remember Daizhao's kindness for the rest of his life... to his descendants and grandchildren." Remember them all."

This is the panic and way of gratitude of ordinary people. It may not look pretty, but it is very real and sincere.

Zhuang Laoshi thought that Lang Jun would not want to cultivate this Su Yan to be his confidant, right?

He felt that this idea was unreliable, but Shen An's actions had this meaning.

In an envious atmosphere with green eyes, Zhuang Laoshi said calmly: "If you go to the Third Division tomorrow, just sign up and ask to see Prime Minister Bao, and someone will naturally take you there."

What?

Bao Zheng wants to see him?

Zhuang Laoshi glanced at those dull faces, cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I'll take my leave."

No one responded, they were all looking at Su Yan.

Previously, everyone thought that he could not find an official teacher, but Shen An just asked the housekeeper to make a trip, which made everyone envious and jealous.

I am really envious and jealous!

Even Guo Qian was stunned.

Not to mention the past, even now, as the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, he couldn't expect Lao Bao to give him any guidance.

But that boy Su Yan!

He was actually able to go to Sansi and receive Lao Bao's words and deeds in person.

How the hell are we supposed to live like this?

Su Yan raised his head, his eyes full of tears.

Su Yi was also dumbfounded.

"It's...it's actually Bao Qingtian?"

Lao Bao still has some status in the hearts of the people of Bianliang. Just by canceling the rule that no officials and citizens are allowed to meet when trying cases, the people of Bianliang thanked him for a long time, and he also got a reputation as a Qingtian.

"My son can actually go to see Bao Qingtian?"

Su Yi was panicked and at a loss.

He looked at Guo Qian. Only the sacrificial wine could confirm this at this moment.

Guo Qian was filled with emotion and said: "This is Shen Taizhao's concern. Su Yan, you must keep Taizhao's words in mind in the future and be an official worthy of your own conscience."

Su Yan quickly agreed, and then tears fell down.

"Tai Zhao... the students wish they could rush to the southwest immediately and kneel in front of Tai Zhao..."

It was Shen An who changed his destiny. Su Yan didn't know how to repay this kindness, so he could only accept the order respectfully. From then on, whenever something happened to Shen An, he would risk his life to handle it.

Zhu Yun over there has turned away, not wanting others to see his face.

That's Bao Zheng!

Although Bao Zheng has a bad temper, as long as he goes out and says that someone was pointed out by Bao Zheng, will the starting point be the same?

That boy who had such bad luck had to be so valued by Zhao Zhao. Why?

Why?

A certain person's talent is the best in Taixue, far behind even Liang Que. Why should Tai Zhao value that idiot Su Yan?

He is sad!

"Su Yan, congratulations."

"Su Yan, treat me later! Tell us what Mr. Bao is like."

After the students were envious and jealous, they began to congratulate Su Yan and read the book www. uukanshu. net Xu Bin even hooked Su Yan's neck and forced him to drink at the next party.

Guo Qian couldn't help but sigh slightly as he watched these students turn from envy and jealousy to joy.

These people saw Su Yan's future, so they wanted to befriend him.

If Shen An values ​​Su Yan so much, Su Yan's future career will definitely be smooth sailing. We all have the friendship of classmates, and this friendship is extremely precious in situations like this. If we grasp it well, it will help us in the future.

Su Yan was blushing there, but there was no arrogance or complacency, which made Guo Qian couldn't help but nod in secret praise.

This is what Shen An calls stability.

Throw away frivolity and complacency and not make any decisions at this moment. This is the correct attitude towards life.

Su Yan stood in the middle, surrounded by his classmates, like stars over the moon...

At this moment, his life was reversed again.

This is a counterattack...
