After Chen Xi arrived in Nanjing, he lived in the official station near Yingtianfu Yai in the south of the city. Before he could visit Xie Duo, there were a lot of people who came to visit him first.

The new top scholar, Hanlin editor, the right middle Yun of the Zhan Shifu, the lecturer of the Eastern Palace, the imperial envoy, the envoy, and the envoy. Chen Xi, with six halos, was neither big nor small, a celebrity.

There are many "instructional envoys" in Nanjing every year. The people who come to visit mainly because of his sixth-rank Hanlin official. With the development trend of Chenxi, they have accumulated in the Zhanshi Mansion for several years. When the prince becomes an adult or ascends the throne, he is likely to be the best choice for future cabinet ministers.

After all, among the lecturers in the East Palace, Chen Xi is the only person who is about the same age as the prince.

The gentry class is the most philandering. If they see who has a bright future in the future, they will definitely find ways to move around as a political investment.

Before you make a fortune, all you spend is visiting time and a little gift. But if you have a high position in the future, the return of this investment will be several times or even dozens of times.

Human favors are the biggest investment!

As soon as Chen Xi settled down at the official post station, someone paid a visit and gave gifts. A lot of gifts were collected, which made the deputy envoy Liu Jin feel so angry when he saw it.

You are just a sixth-rank official, and so many people give you gifts. I am a celebrity in front of the prince, why no one wants to give me a gift?

Although Liu Jin was worried that he would lose his power and could not even go back to the East Palace, he still sneered at Chen Xi: "Shen Zhongyun accepted bribes like this, aren't you afraid that our family would sue you when they go back?"

People in this world divide men and women, and there are eunuchs like Liu Jin. Whether they call themselves or others, they try not to involve men and women issues, and even claim to be "our family".

Chen Xi thought to himself: "I want to sue you, I'm not accepting these gifts on my own initiative. I'm still making a list and waiting to report them back. As an emperor, you can't be unreasonable, right?"

But I have to comfort Liu Jin's wounded heart. Chen Xi smiled and said, "Eunuch Liu, how many of these gifts should you choose?"

"Oh!? Are you so kind?" Liu Jin looked righteous just now. He heard that there was a gift to choose, so he immediately changed the color. He didn't discuss with Chen Xi. He opened the gift boxes one by one and took them back to the room. Then he closed the door. He probably went to appreciate and play with it.

After all, you are a eunuch in the East Palace with no power. In a few years, when the young prince grows up and ascends the throne, you will hold power. That's really amazing.

However, the problem of greed for money should be born with eunuchs. Who said that most eunuchs have no children and no children? What they can hope for is to be richer in their pockets and be able to support themselves when they are old?

Thinking of this, Chen Xi felt that Liu Jin was actually just a pitiful person who was limited by the times. If anyone had done more openly than Liu Jin in Liu Jin's position... He was so bad that he knew that Liu Jin was angry as a treacherous minister, and he was well-known.

If you cannot be remembered forever, you just want to be infamous for thousands of years, otherwise how can you prove that you will live in the world?

As soon as Liu Jin left, Mi Lu walked into the room with a little disdainful tone: "Mr. Shen, you are a great lecturer of the emperor. When you go to Quanzhou, you will definitely be promoted to a higher position after returning to Beijing. What should you do with that old guy? After he returns, he might be kicked out of the palace. Now he says he wants to sue you, and he must have that ability."

Chen Xidao: "Teacher thanks for his cultivation of students, but it is because of his negligence. How can't he bear it?"

Xie Duo smiled and said, "Chen Xi, you are an official in the court now, but I am a country man. You and I have different identities. If you are too respectful to me, I am sorry for this official uniform!"

Chen Xi said sincerely: "Today I am visiting the teacher with a student service. If I don't involve the court, how can I be worthy of my official uniform?"

When Chen Xi said this, he saw a cunning smile on Xie Duo's face, and probably understood... Xie Duo was preventing him from saying something to the emperor and deliberately causing him to say this.

Didn’t you say that today is a private relationship? Then you just talk about state affairs, let alone ask me to serve as the Imperial College’s Northern School.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi smiled brightly, "Teacher Xie doesn't want to become an official, so he is more resistant to meeting guests than before, right?"

Xie Duo didn't expect Chen Xi to speak so bluntly, he was stunned for a moment, smiled awkwardly, and his face seemed to be saying, "Have you discovered this?"

Xie Duo said: "Then honestly tell me, before you came out of the capital, have you ever seen Your Majesty... or someone else asked you to come to me to talk about your relationship?"

Chen Xi shook his head solemnly and said, "Teacher Xie does not want to be infected by the officialdom. He would rather live a life of peace in his hometown. The students admire him very much. Not to mention that no one in the court will give in. Even if there is one, the students will not go against Teacher Xie's wishes."

When Xie Duo heard this, his eyebrows stretched out and said with a smile: "That's good. It's true that he is a man of great talent and knowledgeable. Come on, sit with me and tell me about your situation when you went to Beijing to take the top scorer... In the first year, I heard about the sales of the Ministry of Rites' examination, and I was worried that you would be involved."

Chen Xi thought to himself that Xie Duo's attitude had changed a little too quickly. He just said "old" and pretended to be old and unable to support him. Now he was energetic and called "me". This also shows that Xie Duo was actually free of disasters and illnesses, just didn't want to be an official.

If Chen Xi made a fictional "old man", he taught him with extensive knowledge and no matter how much he taught him, who is the one with this temperament in this world?

Xie Duo actually didn't cultivate much about Chen Xi. He was a bit reluctant to talk about the kindness of knowing the favor, but at least the two of them were friends for ages. This would reduce the restraint caused by the generation gap between teachers and students, and he could talk like a friend.

Chen Xi briefly explained the situation of going to Beijing for the exam the first year, and also discussed the most controversial "Four Sons' Attainments" test questions in the Ministry of Rites' Examination in the first year, and discussed it with Xie Duo. Xie Duo sighed: "Although I have never seen Tang Yin, I have heard of it a little bit. This son has a good academic achievement and a proud heart. I let him bribe the examiner to get the exam. I definitely don't believe it. Maybe he is burdened by others."

Xie Duo said the truth.

Judging from what Tang Yin did in the future, he was a man with noble ambitions. Even if the case of selling the papers really happened, he would not bother to do it. Xie Qian said this, in fact, because the court lacked a promising young man like Tang Yin and felt that it was not worth it.

Chen Xi sighed: "Who knows when the intrigues of power struggles in the court will fall on me?"

Xie Duo didn't expect that Chen Xi would be able to express such a deep emotion when she was young. He looked at Chen Xi and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You boy, you have been an official for less than a year. Listen to your words, just like a man is about to retire in his twilight years. Don't just say something I love to hear in front of me to cater to me..."

Chen Xi smiled and said, "The students didn't have this intention. I think Mr. Xie is now thinking about not being an official in the court, so he has some doubts about others, right?"

Xie Duo sighed: "Oh! If it were a few years earlier, it would be okay to be an official, but now I am already a man of old things and want to spend a few days on a safe birthday... You young people are different. You must make a difference. Don't always learn from us old guys' attitude towards being passive. Besides, you can't learn it."

ps: The fourth update is here!

This chapter is the third chapter that has been greatly updated for the new leader "Caviar"!

I would like to correct it. I don’t know what happened in the previous chapter. What the emperor thought about was “running the pen” but it turned out to be “shu Xiu”. The previous text has been corrected, so I will explain it here.
Chapter completed!
