0038 The dust settles
Last night, there were so many guests that they almost broke through the threshold, but on the day of the ceremony, there were not too many guests, but each one was full of weight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
First, Ji Zhan's health is worrying, and it is really not suitable for large-scale operation. Second, the old generation of celebrities and scholars in Wu Shizhong are half withered, and there are not many people who are qualified to be invited by the Ji family to witness the ceremony.
Most of the dozen or so people here today are famous for their own families, such as Gu Bi and others. The only exceptions are Lu Ye of Wujun and Zhang Min of Danyang, Lu Ye is Lu Ji's cousin, and Zhang Min is the descendant of the old Wu Zhang Zhao.
Seeing the guests on the seat, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but feel the benefits of crossing a high starting point. Zhang Min is the Danyang Dazhongzheng, and Lu Ye is the Yangzhou Dazhongzheng, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to meet this kind of Zhongzheng official who determines people's future, let alone perform in front of them. But now this group of scholars and grandmasters are all here to stand on the ground for themselves to watch the ceremony.
It's just that he couldn't see Wu Xingda Zhongzheng in this county, and Shen Zhezi couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He vaguely heard that Wu Xing Dazhong was originally a person from the Kong clan, but because Zang was too strict, he was driven back to his county by his father to beat the rabbit earlier.
Although the central officials are all held by people who have been famous for a long time, it is not easy to carry out their work if they cannot form a good alliance with the local strong clan. In this kind of world, it is really a hell to be able to select talents fairly and fairly.
Shen Zhezi is destined to be a celebrity, and occasionally fantasizes that he can be designated as a few talents.
The Nine Grades Official Law has been implemented to this day, and usually one product is not evaluated, such as the overseas Chinese surname Wang Ge, Jiangdong Gu Lu and other families, the children can usually be determined as the second grade, even if it is unbearable, the third grade is also available.
According to the previous reputation of the Wuxing Shen family, Shen Zhezi felt that he was barely between four or five grades, and if he met a central official who wanted to disgust the Shen family, it was also possible to have six grades. If it's lower, it's a cold door.
But now that he has worshipped Ji Zhan as his teacher, Shen Zhezi will probably be able to get the third grade, and in a few years, when his father's career is smooth, it is not impossible to be promoted to the second grade.
According to the practice of lowering the rank of township products to three to four levels, when Shen Zhezi officially became an official, he should have started between five or six grades, and he could already serve as secretary Lang, writer Lang and other Qing products.
Although the current world has not yet reached the level of decay of "writing if you don't get on the bus, and how to be a secretary in the body", Shen Zhezi can probably find a county guard after a few years of Qing Pin. If it goes well, he will be able to take charge of a state in his thirties, and he will be able to take charge of Taiwan Province in his forties.
In the evil old society, an eight-year-old boy can already foresee most of his life's career resume, the black-headed three princes. With such a stable and seemingly step-by-step career process, it is no wonder that the children of the scholar clan are comfortable and hedonistic and lose their competitiveness.
"It's still a bit slow, though."
Shen Zhezi is not satisfied with this set of promotion tracks, and he doesn't want to play according to the current rules at all. Ruling the military state at the age of thirty is already the minimum bottom line he has set for himself.
Retracting the many reveries in his heart, Shen Zhezi, under the guidance of Ji You, greeted many guests in the hall one by one. The dozen or so people in the seat have almost included most of the essence of Wu Shi, but almost all the noble families in the county are present. Even the Huiji Yu clan, who wanted to copy his father's back road, had a clansman sitting there to show respect for Ji Zhan.
This Yu clan member is named Yu Xi. Shen Zhezi vaguely remembered that this Yu Xi seemed to be an astronomer.
The guests in the audience had extremely complicated senses about Shen Zhezi, and first of all, they were naturally not angry with the Wu Xing Shen family, so they took this opportunity to juxtapose with him. But after communicating with Ji Zhan before, I probably understood the reason why Ji Zhan had to do this. If there is anything in this world that can make them smell and change, it is not the Xiongnu Qianhu who are raging in the north, but the clan is in chaos.
If the Wu Xing Shen clan really took refuge in the King of Nanton and became noble, it would undoubtedly send a signal to some other inferior sects that this way was feasible, and the situation would be out of control at that time. At that time, these families will not only have to bear the pressure of the overseas Chinese Gaomen, but also have to deal with the challenges of Jiangdong itself, which is terrifying when you think about it.
In view of this, even if I am still a little uncomfortable, I have to accept such a result. For example, Lu Ye, who strictly restrained his clansmen from colluding with the Shen family before, had the expression of a father who had just died at this time, and it could be seen that he was not in a happy mood.
Shen Zhezi didn't care about the mood of this group of people, and blamed the emperor and the king of Nanton for not being able to hold their breath and gave him a big hole card. If it weren't for this variable, he would still be coldly treated by this group of guys.
But after all, these guys are not confused to death, and they understand the stakes. In history, it was the autocratic power of the clan Sima Daozi that caused chaos, Fang Zhen repeatedly forced the center, and then Huan Xuan usurped the throne, and the Hanmen army leaders all jumped up, and finally buried this small court of Gou'an for a while.
The auspicious time has arrived, and Ji Zhan, who is still in good spirits for recuperation, was carried to the main hall by the shoulder, and handed over a few scriptures in the gift box to Shen Zhezi. Shen Zhezi knelt on the ground and respectfully took it, and the scriptures he taught included "Spring and Autumn", "Book of Songs", "Analects" and so on.
Of course, these can't all be learned by the Ji family, but they are just needed for a sense of ritual. At present, Ji Zhan has no energy to preach and solve doubts, and Shen Zhezi has never planned to exhaust the scriptures. It is not so much the conferral of scriptures as the issuance of certificates of qualification.
However, in addition to these ceremonial scriptures, there are also some dry goods. Ji's specialized in exegesis rhyme, and in addition to the scriptures, there are also annotations recorded by Ji Zhan. With these, the Shen family can also claim to be experts in this area in the future.
Next is a lengthy set of etiquette, in addition to paying homage to Ji Zhan, there are also Shen Xian of the Shen family's Xizong, the elders of the Ji and Shen families, and a group of guests who watched the ceremony.
It took nearly two hours to complete a set of procedures. Shen Zhezi was dizzy and didn't say anything, but he probably understood why he couldn't be polite. Such a cumbersome and lengthy etiquette, do you remember to say that you waste such a long time, and still have the time and energy to do something else? Probably only those who have nothing to do and are idle will be keen to engage in this set of red tape.
After the apprenticeship was completed, Shen Zhezi breathed a sigh of relief, insisted on seeing off the guests who watched the ceremony, and when he returned to Jifu, he had just taken a few steps when it was dark in front of him, and he fainted and fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked, and hurriedly carried Shen Zhezi into the living room, and asked Ge Hong to come and treat him.
Ji Zhan, who had already rested, could not feel at ease after hearing the news, so he hurried here, and when he saw Ge Hong's brows tightly locked after the diagnosis, he asked urgently: "Zhichuan, what's wrong with my disciple?" ”
He values Shen Zhezi from the bottom of his heart, thinking that this little man can do something in the future, rather than looking at him differently because of his identity and family background.
"The heart is exhausted."
Ge Hong still said the same old saying, but he called Liu Meng, a soldier who had been following Shen Zhezi, and asked, "Did your Xiaolang have a disease before?" ”
Liu Meng's mood was already a little flustered at this time, and from the beginning of his trip to Huiji, he followed Shen Zhezi all the way, witnessing with his own eyes how this little Langjun maneuvered all sides, and little by little pulled the entire Shen family from the center of the disaster to a safe position. In addition to the status between master and servant, he already admired Shen Zhezi from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, seeing Xiao Langjun fainting and unconscious, it was difficult for this fierce general, who was often drowned and beheaded in the chaotic army, to keep calm, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiao Langjun had a serious illness two months ago, and he has not recovered for a long ......time."
Lest the description be not detailed enough to delay the diagnosis of Lang Jun's condition by Xiao Xian Weng, Liu Meng described all kinds of deeds during this period of time in detail, and Ji Zhan and the others realized that the pale and weak boy on the couch had actually done so many things in the past time.
"Zhichuan, please be sure to save my disciple! This is a talent given by God, a talent who can protect the peace of my land in the future! ”
Ji Zhan held Ge Hong's wrist tightly and solemnly entrusted.
"This little man is weak on the outside and weak on the inside, his vitality is scattered, and he is tossing and turning, if he is fishing for a long time, how can he last long."
Ge Hong sighed, and after seeing the old man's eager and anxious gaze, he pondered for a long time before he nodded and said, "I'll do my best, and don't let your disciple die early." ”
Hearing this, Ji Zhan was relieved, he knew that Ge Hong had promised nothing lightly, and once he made a guarantee, he was sure to do it. Then he pointed to Shen Zhezi, who was sleeping on the couch, and scolded with a smile: "I really don't feel comfortable with myself, and I have to solicit another concern when I am dying." ”
Ge Hong said angrily: "You still have to complain, then who am I to blame?" ”
"Haha, those who can work harder." Ji Zhan smiled a few words, and with Ge Hong taking care of him, he left with peace of mind.
After sending Ji Zhan away, Ge Hong returned and said to Liu Meng: "If you want your family Langjun to survive, don't let him worry about it anymore." Wu Xing's Shen family is also prosperous, so why do you need a child to work hard. ”
Liu Meng felt ashamed, and said yes.
When Shen Zhezi woke up, it was already the morning of the next day.
As for the reason for his sudden fainting, he is also very clear that in the nearly two months since the crossing, his spirit has always been tense and he has been under huge pressure for a long time. Even if it is an adult body, running back and forth, it will feel a little unbearable.
Now that the dust has finally settled, there is a result, and although it has deviated from his original vision, it has not finally gotten out of control. The Wuxing Shen family can be said to have completely gotten rid of the haze of Wang Dun's rebellion, and they also have a good foundation. Under the relaxation of his mind, his body, which was originally supported by only one breath, finally couldn't bear it.
As soon as he woke up, Shen Zhezi saw Ge Hong's cold face, and he felt much more relieved. He is just weak, not to the point of being incurable, with the help of this little fairy to recuperate, at least his life is safe.
Although he was not used to seeing this kid a lot, since he agreed to Ji Zhan, Ge Hong still tried his best, first warned Shen Zhezi not to be reckless, carefully recuperate, taught him a set of methods of breathing and recuperation, and also adjusted his diet, which can be said to be unsatisfactory.
If it weren't for the situation, Shen Zhezi would also be happy to recuperate. Now that the problem has been resolved, he will stay in the Ji Mansion with peace of mind. He has laid a foundation, and he believes that his father's methods will never disappoint him.
