Chapter 368 Chen Qinzhi returns to Beijing

More than ten years is not a short time in life.

But for the officialdom, it is only three or four terms.

During Li Shouzhong's tenure at the Nanjing Imperial College, the first batch of students he led barely managed four terms.

Normally speaking, officials with Jinshi background, whether they are sent abroad or stay in Beijing, start from around the seventh rank.

If you pass the four assessments with excellent results, you theoretically have the chance to become an official of around fifth rank.

But in reality, how can there be so many officials to promote you?

If there is no backstage person, it would be good if there is a real shortage.

Do you still expect to be promoted?

If you don’t have a backing, then unless you are outstanding or have accomplished some extraordinary feats.

Otherwise, you will wait for the situation to change from reality to reality, or you will be given a position that is neither embarrassing nor embarrassing, and will die in office.

Even if you have outstanding abilities, a fourth-grade prefect will always be out of reach.

Otherwise, after Jia Yucun has been traveling for several years, why would he finally be willing to become a teacher in the Lin Mansion?

Is it because Tu and Lin Ruhai have something in common, or is it that a young girl like Tu Daiyu is easy to teach?

It wasn't because his friend introduced Lin Ruhai's background that he took care of everything step by step.

Using the Lin Mansion as a springboard, he successfully climbed onto the two high branches of the Jia Mansion and the Wang Family.

After all, Jia Yucun is one of the few who is so lucky.

Among Li Shouzhong's students, except Feng Yibo.

A fifth-grade official like Tongzhi of Daming Prefecture is already outstanding.

Otherwise Feng Yibo would not be able to remember him.

The rest, except for a few people with good family backgrounds, are mostly officials of the sixth or seventh rank.

Those with good family backgrounds also have natural political stances.

Either he is a member of the New Party or a descendant of the founding lineage.

Even if they have no political stance, these people are not close to Feng Yibo in the same year.

There is also the mentor Li Shouzhong standing across it.

Even though the two share the same love as father and son, they already have differences in political stance.

No matter how close we are, it's all about life.

When it comes to forming a party, this layer of separation means complete insulation.

Li Shouzhong's attitude obviously would not support him in this matter.

When it comes to Feng Yibo forming a party, these fellow disciples become useless.

If you really pull him over, if Li Shouzhong doesn't nod at the critical moment, you will have to hold him back.

Therefore, Liu Zheng's idea was immediately rejected by Feng Yibo.

Hearing Feng Yibo say that one person can equal a party, Liu Zheng was a little surprised and said:

"Is it Mr. Li Ge?"

The range of people who make such comments is not large.

As Feng Yibo’s mentor, Li Shouzhong must be the first choice.

Seeing Feng Yibo smiling and saying nothing, Yang Mingxin showed a hint of surprise and blurted out:

"I understand, is it the Queen Mother?"

Yuanchun's favor for Feng Yibo was obvious to all in the court.

It is obviously not difficult to gain her support.

It can be seen that Feng Yibo still smiled and said nothing, and Liu Zheng and Yang Mingxin looked at each other.

"It can't be... Mr. Chen Ge, right?"

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he and Yang Mingxin looked at each other.

For a moment, both of them thought it was impossible.

Unless Feng Yibo was crazy, he would never want to win over Chen Qinzhi.

Not long after, Chen Qinzhi returned to the capital from Daming Mansion.

At the subsequent court meeting, hundreds of civil and military officials were arranged.

Chen Qinzhi stood at the front for the first time as the first assistant.

"When Mr. Chen Ge comes back, I and Your Majesty are finally at ease."

After the ceremony, Yuanchun smiled and expressed his welcome.

Then, on behalf of the emperor, he gave his most sincere greetings:

"How is Mr. Chen Ge's health now? Can an imperial doctor take a look at it?"

Originally, this was just a polite statement of concern.

But when Chen Qinzhi heard this, he shook his head expressionlessly.

“Not very good.”

After saying that, he went out to pay homage to Lord Dan:

"The main reason I came back in a hurry this time is to see His Majesty and congratulate the great Wei Dynasty for its longevity. In addition, I also want to invite Your Majesty and the Queen Mother to allow the old ministers to return to their hometown to retire!"

He had just come back and was begging for bones as soon as he went to court.

For a time, everyone in the court was stunned.

When Yuanchun heard this, he quickly tried to persuade him to stay:

"Mr. Zhang Ge and Mr. Chen Ge are the two pillars of the Wei Dynasty. Now Mr. Zhang Ge is bedridden and cannot ask for political advice. If Mr. Chen Ge also retires and returns to his hometown, then the legacy left by the late emperor can still be relied on.

who?"

Even when the late emperor was mentioned, Chen Qinzhi was not moved at all and still shook his head:

"It's not that I'm trying to shirk it. It's just that I'm old and frail and can't stand the trouble."

As he spoke, he coughed twice to show his physical weakness.

When Yuanchun saw it, he hurriedly said:

"Give Elder Chen Ge a seat!"

The chamberlain quickly brought a soft stool from one side and helped him sit down.

Such honor and favor are unimaginable to others.

But Chen Qinzhi didn't even push, and just sat on it.

"This time I met a thief in Daming Mansion, and along the way to the Tang Dynasty, I lost half of my life due to the torment. Then I heard that the late emperor was riding a dragon and left, and this old man's life has been exhausted."

At this time, Chen Qinzhi’s face showed fatigue and he said again:

"Now I retire and return to my hometown. I just have to choose a day to follow the late emperor."

The death of Emperor Jingshun made him a little discouraged.

After all, after working so hard for so many years, he just waited for the death of the Supreme Emperor so that he could assist Emperor Jingshun in completing the reforms.

But now that the Supreme Emperor had just died, Emperor Jingshun suddenly also died.

This made Chen Qinzhi, who had been working hard for many years, inevitably lose his support.

Even though the new emperor ascended the throne and made him the first assistant, he lost his original ambition.

When Yuanchun heard this, he felt a little at a loss of ideas.

Fortunately, Feng Yibo has now reached the rank of Sangu, and has been awarded the title of Super Grade.

At this time, I am standing in the front position of the exam.

She moved slightly behind the bead curtain.

Feng Yibo heard the conversation between the two and kept paying attention to what was going on behind the bead curtain.

Soon, the two looked at each other.

Feng Yibo shook his head slightly, and Yuan Chun understood immediately.

With her backbone, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued to persuade:
To be continued...
