After Lin Shu left the Prince's Mansion.
Jing Yi took the tea and took a sip.
This tea is really refreshing!
After Lin Shu left, Douquan stepped forward and asked, "My lord, your subordinates don't understand, now that most of the ministers in the court are on your side, why do you want to win over someone who has just entered the court?"
You do not know me!
Jing Yi said, "It is because he has just entered the dynasty and his background is clean that such a person can really be used for his own use."
"But, isn't the prince worried that there will be betrayals in it? People have just entered the dynasty, their minds are uncertain, and their subordinates are worried..."
"Douquan." Jing Yi said, "If you want to win over someone, you have to understand what the other person wants most? As long as you give him what he wants, he will naturally give his life to you. This Lin Shu wants the title of champion, this The king asked the Hanlin Academy to play the emperor and lift him up. He got what he wanted, and the king could control him. He also needs to add a few more strokes to the king's history."
Douquan understood.
Bowing his head, "It's still the prince who is thoughtful."
He smiled slyly.
…
When Lin Shu returned to the inn, he was still a little unable to return to his senses.
In the evening, when everyone was dining on the first floor of the inn, Shang Zhuo saw that he was lost, and the chopsticks in his hand seemed to fall to the ground, so he asked, "Lin Shu, what's the matter with you?"
The sound is very light!
Lin Shu didn't seem to hear it.
"Lin Shu?"
"Huh?" He raised his head suddenly, his eyes clear.
"What's the matter with you? You look like you're not letting go."
He shook his head, "It's okay."
He grabbed a piece of meat with chopsticks.
Like that, it's clear that there is something in my heart.
Shang Zhuo jumped forward and continued to ask, "Where have you been before? That's how you looked when you came back?"
"I'm just going out for a walk."
"You're lying at all. You can fool others, but you can't fool me. Tell me, what's the matter?"
"It's all right, why are you like the teacher? It's really annoying."
He dropped the bowl and chopsticks, turned and went upstairs.
Small sample, there is temper!
Shangzhuo confused
The few students who had not left just heard the conversation between the two, and one of them came over with a bowl of rice.
"Shang Zhuo, I saw someone coming to look for Lin Shu before. He got on the carriage and didn't know where he went."
"Who is looking for him?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it's someone from the Prince's Mansion."
"Yi Wangfu?" Shang Zhuo was shocked.
The man started gossiping, "You said, is it King Yi..."
Before the man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Shang Zhuo, "There are ears on the wall, don't talk nonsense."
"Oh." The man quickly covered his mouth and smiled awkwardly.
Shang Zhuo glanced upstairs, put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and went upstairs.
He pushed open Lin Shu's door and went in, then closed it again.
Lin Shu lay on his back on the bed, as if he was fascinated by something, and didn't notice anyone coming in at all, until a figure fell into his line of sight.
He just got up.
With a wrinkled face, he asked, "Why didn't you make a sound when you came in?"
"I've been in for a long time."
"Ah? Oh! Did you find something?"
Shang Zhuo directly dragged him from the bed.
Seriously asked, "Tell me, did you go to Yiwang's mansion to see Yiwang?"
"Just ask this?" He shook off Shang Zhuo, "Who am I going to see, what's your business?"
"What did King Yi say to you?"
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
"Lin Shu." Shang Zhuo called him out of hatred, "Did you forget what the teacher explained before we entered the capital? After we enter the court and become officials, it is our foundation that we must not climb down and do what we want. points, once we get involved in party disputes and step into it, in the end, we will only die without a place to be buried.”
"Okay, how can you be so terrifying?" He said impatiently, "You don't need to tell me what the Master said again."
"I just wanted to remind you."
"You don't need to remind me." Lin Shu waved his sleeves, "I won't stop you if you want to be your official with peace of mind, but I want to rise to the top, fame and fortune, so don't stop me, although we are classmates , but some things are different, and you can't think that my choice is wrong because of this."
Classmates are different!
These five words really hurt my heart!
Shang Zhuo's temperament was originally that kind of leisurely and indifferent, but now hearing these words, he was really speechless for a while.
After a long time, he stepped back, "Okay, if you want to do this, I won't stop you, but you'd better have a plan for the future, don't wait until you are forced into a dead end, and then think about the way back."
"Don't worry, in this world, you are not the only one who is smart, I know what to do with myself." He said, "You and I are still classmates no matter what. I will flourish in the future, and I will not be missing you."
Ha ha!
Shang Zhuo smiled and said, "No, the so-called, different ways do not conspire. Since you have chosen Yi Wang, I can't say anything. Anyway, I have said everything that should be said. You can do it yourself."
After saying this, he pushed open the door and left.
Lin Shu's brows were gritty, and he squeezed his fist and thumped the table.
Hanlin Academy!
Master Yan, a senior scholar of the Hanlin Academy, received a secret letter from King Yi. In the secret letter, it was clearly stated that the Hanlin Academy would nominate Lin Shu as the champion.
After receiving the information, Mr. Yan did not dare not to do it.
When even went to see Emperor Qi Zhen in person.
King Yi had just finished his wedding, and Emperor Qi Zhen was planning to settle down as the champion, so the great scholar Yan came over.
"Your Majesty, this time the Hanlin Academy has discussed together, and they all think that Lin Shu's bachelor's degree and intelligence are slightly better than Lin Shu's." He said directly.
Emperor Qi Zhen looked at the roster at hand and nodded, "Shang Zhuo's article is rigorous, but Lin Shu's article is very careful. The post of Hanlin Academy's writing is to record travel history, and it is the post of secret secretary. It should be carefully considered. Choose a careful candidate, your Hanlin Academy even nominated Lin Shu, I also thought about it carefully for a few days, Lin Shu is really good, it has been a long time since the opening of the list, then... that's it."
Lin Shu won the title of champion!
Master Yan bowed, "Yes."
the next day
The imperial decree was stamped and sent to the inn.
The crowd watched, firecrackers and gongs shook the sky.
Lin Shu won the top spot and Shang Zhuo won the second place.
The former entered the Hanlin Academy to do editing, and the latter entered the Hanlin Academy to do editing.
Everyone was happy, and the students who stayed in the inn also began to flatter people, and every word they said was flattering.
Lin Shu was overjoyed and shouted to invite everyone to drink.
Everyone was happy, but Shang Zhuo was worried.
It's not because he only won the second place in the list, but because he is worried that if Lin Shu steps into the Yiwang camp, he won't be able to turn back.
Thinking of this, he could only sigh.
Indeed, he cannot ask his classmates to do the same.
