When he learned that he and his teacher had been promoted at the same time, Shi Zhongkui was riding a horse on a parade on the Gyeonggi Canal.

Jia Lian, who had been detained in the camp these days, immediately felt depressed after hearing the news.

How long had passed before Shi Zhongkui was actually a sixth-grade official.

If he was given a few more years, wouldn't he be on the same level as Jia Zheng?

Moreover, when Yu Honggao went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it was equivalent to Shi Zhongkui's family. Finally, someone in Shi Zhongkui's family was able to carry the banner again and was qualified to participate in government affairs.

Xue Pan, Xue Tan and Shi Guangzhu were also very happy.

Yu Shun and other servants as well as twenty young and strong guards of the Duke of Guo's Mansion knelt on the ground and congratulated him repeatedly.

At that time, Yu Honggao wasted a lot of time, but finally decided to use money, and was able to rise from the seventh rank to the sixth rank, and get the official position of Daxing County Magistrate.

After some compliments, Jia Lian grabbed Shi Zhongkui's hand and said, "My dear brother, if you have time, please come to the Rongguo Mansion. My ancestors and the eldest master will definitely celebrate my dear brother."

Shi Zhongkui rolled his eyes in his heart. If he really wanted to go to Jia's house, he would definitely avoid going to Ningguo Mansion before Yingchun got married.

Besides, even if we wanted to celebrate, we would definitely go to Honggao's side.

"The second brother has been following the younger brother for a few days. It's not like he doesn't know that the task of dredging the river can no longer be delayed. Otherwise, during the rainy season in June and August, if water overflows the river bank, how can the younger brother get out of it?

"

"this,,."

Jia Lian sighed and nodded, "It's true that business is more important."

The group of people quickly returned to Beijing, and Shi Zhongkui let go of the three troublemakers Jia Lian, Xue Pan and Shi Guangzhu.

Previously, the three people were detained and not allowed to leave because they were worried that someone would try to cause trouble for them.

Now that the coffin has been sealed, taking them to the river and managing things in the river is troublesome.

Not to mention the Jia family, the Xue family and the Duke of Tuiguo were very happy.

Shi Zhongkui went to the Hanlin Academy immediately and met Yuan Donggang, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

Yuan Donggang is not only his immediate boss, but also his tutor during the provincial examination.

Even if the two of them fall out in the future, they cannot get rid of this relationship.

Therefore, for Shi Zhongkui, by currying favor with and helping Yuan Donggang perform meritorious service, not only would no one gossip, but it would also benefit him a lot.

Even in terms of career prospects, Yuan Donggang is greater than Yu Honggao.

Without spending more than ten years in the Hanlin Academy, studying national history, and serving as secretary and teacher to emperors and princes, Yu Honggao, a Jinshi from a commonplace background, would have to be ranked behind Yuan Donggang even if he could enter the cabinet.

Moreover, seeing that one of them had been working abroad for many years, and the other had been squatting in the Hanlin Academy, Yuan Donggang had already left Yu Honggao far behind.

But Yuan Donggang was actually more willing to accept him than Shi Zhongkui imagined.

Everyone used to think that as long as Shi Zhongkui didn't make mistakes, he could at least become a minister of the Sixth Ministry or a minister even if he survived for one or twenty years.

There is also a great chance of joining the cabinet.

But now that Shi Zhongkui has become a lecturer of the Hanlin Academy in less than two months, this time period may be shortened by three to five years.

Even Yuan Donggang's heart trembled when he thought of the 30-year-old Liubu Minister and the 35- or 40-year-old cabinet minister.

"Since Bo Qian is an imperial envoy, you don't have to come to the Hanlin Academy all the time."

Shi Zhongkui hurriedly stood up and saluted and thanked him. Although he did not need Yuan Donggang's permission, he could use his status as an imperial envoy to avoid going to the Hanlin Academy.

But the fact that your immediate superior provides convenience in person shows that the other person is at least close to you.

Seeing that Shi Zhongkui understood what he was thinking, Yuan Donggang couldn't help but laugh.

"As for the errand of serving as lecturer..."

When Shi Zhongkui saw Yuan Dong just said to keep half of the money, he immediately understood what he meant.

Zhengse said, "Teacher, don't worry. When students are in charge of river affairs, they must always study the history of the country and the classics."

"Very good," Yuan Donggang said with a satisfied smile, "Although the lecturer is only assisting the lecturer, there is no need to accompany the lecturer to lecture on classics and history for His Majesty and the princes, and draft documents related to the ceremony.

But you cannot avoid the task of compiling history.

If you are compared to someone here, it would be a small matter to be embarrassed, and you will be given a ginseng book and sent to a local state to be a state official."

Generally speaking, Jinshi, not to mention becoming a prefect, even if they can get the title of county magistrate with real power in a middle county or upper county after the three-year assessment period, they are already smoking from their ancestral graves. They are extremely lucky.

Most of them went to work as a small chief in the Sixth Department, or as an assistant official in the state capital.

Not only do you have a lot of trouble with your mother-in-law, but you do all the bad things, and you don’t have any real power, so life will be difficult.

Therefore, for someone like Shi Zhongkui, who was born in the Imperial Academy and was already serving in the Hanlin Academy, it was absolutely unacceptable for him to be decentralized.

wrong.

Yuan Donggang and Shi Zhongkui thought at the same time that just to protect the face of the imperial court, the number one scholar could not be transferred to other places.

Shi Zhongkui could only be demoted to the sixth department at most, but if he wanted to be promoted to minister, the difficulty suddenly became countless times higher.

And if you don't get training, how can you compete with your colleagues who have climbed up all the way?

No wonder there are so many top picks, but only a few become famous and leave a mark in the history books.

Yuan Donggang smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, I can't compare to you as a teacher. From now on, remember to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and stay in the Hanlin Academy to study history books for three to five years. It will be good for you."

This is definitely true wisdom.

Avoiding compilation of history books can not only avoid secret fights between old and new emperors, but compilation of history books itself is a great honor and capital for ancient civil servants.

On the tombstones of ancient officials after their death, if they were born in the Imperial Academy, it would be engraved on them.

If you have studied history books, you will be able to compare with 90% Hanlin and 99% Jinshi.

This thing is the same as if you went to the Central Government School for further study.

"Thank you, my teacher, for your guidance. Students must always warn themselves."

Yuan Donggang nodded, "As long as you know the powerful relationship, don't be like your teacher, who took more than ten years to understand these principles."

It was neither right nor wrong for Shi Zhongkui to answer the phone at this time.

He could only salute Yuan Donggang.

Yuan Donggang burst into laughter immediately.

------

After bidding farewell to Yuan Donggang, Shi Zhongkui went to visit two bachelor's degree students.

However, the attitude of these two people towards him seemed to be enthusiastic, but more importantly, they were still defensive.

Originally, the Hanlin Academy had a junior who passed six yuan, which already made them feel deeply threatened.

In less than two months, Shi Zhongkui has become a sixth-grade minister. This level of threat has already made the two of them feel uneasy.

Shi Zhongkui actually had no good way to solve this problem.

The reality is that even if you want to express good intentions, others won't believe you.

On the contrary, I feel that you have ulterior motives and are trying to paralyze them.

Moreover, even if the two of them go to Zhan Shifu to serve as the crown prince's subordinates, they will still retain their status as bachelors of the Hanlin Academy.

The only way was for the two of them to be promoted to be the Minister of the Sixth Division. At that time, their goal was to be promoted to bachelors of a certain palace and gain the qualifications to enter the cabinet.

In the end, Shi Zhongkui could only hint that he was only 21 years old, which made the two bachelor's students feel at ease.

Normally, for at least three to five years, even if Shi Zhongkui would be promoted, it would be impossible for him to be promoted to a bachelor's degree.

Instead, he continued to serve as a lecturer, or while serving as a student, he held an official position higher than the sixth rank.

Moreover, he was already a minister, and not only passed the hurdle of becoming an imperial scholar before joining the cabinet.

It also saved at least 10 years compared to other Shujis.

If you are impatient, then go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and try your luck by going the route of being a gossip official.

It is only natural for a minister to be promoted to the fifth rank, fourth rank, and then to the third rank to obtain the status of a bachelor of a certain palace.

However, this is not without consequences.

After all, Yan Guan was a nasty person who made trouble for others. The more people he offended, the less people he could unite with.

All I can say is that everything has pros and cons.

But Shi Zhongkui was still moved. One of the two bachelor's degree students looked to be at least 40 or 50 years old.

Once you are over 50, it is impossible to say that you are not impatient if you are still studying for a bachelor's degree.

Moreover, although the Hanlin Academy was noble and noble, life was not an ordinary hardship.

Not only was there no money to be made, but the remuneration was also very meager.

Of course, who among those who can be a bachelor's degree student in the Hanlin Academy is not a smart and intelligent person?

But people are very strange. The more they lack something, the more they want something.

But even though he wished that these two people would die next year, Shi Zhongkui never thought about tainting these two people.
