Zhou Tingyu came back tired, so he immediately started eating. During the banquet, everyone did not speak, and Zhou Tingyu was tired. Luo Xin and the other three people were hungry, but this meal was eaten quickly, and it was finished in less than two quarters of an hour, and the four of them came to the study of Zhou Zhi County. Zhou Yu was busy making a pot of tea, and the three brothers looked at Zhou Tingyu.

"The scientific examination is coming soon, and I will talk to you about the scientific examination for the sake of my father. I haven't said these words to Haode before, because his accumulation is not enough, and I expected that he didn't pass the exam last time. ”

Zhou Yu's face was red, but Luo Xin knew in his heart that Zhou Tingyu must want to say the same thing as Lu Tingfang. But the two of them must have their own understanding of the scientific expedition, so Luo Xin also cheered up and listened carefully. When Zhou Zhixian finished speaking, although he said the same thing as Lu Tingfang, it also benefited Luo Xin a lot, because there were subtleties that were different from Lu Tingfang. When Zhou Zhixian finished speaking, his eyes looked at the three humanitarians:

"Do you understand?"

The three brothers each groaned for a moment, then nodded, "Understood." ”

Zhou Zhixian nodded, and then sighed and said, "Now I don't know if it's right or wrong to let you enter the officialdom." ”

"Father...... What does this mean? Zhou Yu asked hesitantly.

"Alas......" Zhou Tingyu sighed again and said: "Now the wind in the DPRK is not right, it is a pool of muddy water. You rush into it, I don't know if it's a curse or a blessing? ”

Zhou Tingyu's gaze swept over the three people in front of him: "You three really want to be officials?" ”

The three brothers exchanged glances, and Zhou Yu smiled bitterly: "What can you do if you don't become an official?" Do you eat all day and wait for death? ”

Zhang Xun said seriously: "My father's lifelong wish is that I can be an official in the court. ”

The eyes of the three people in the study converged on Luo Xin's body, and Luo Xin smiled bitterly: "My father-in-law also said that now the Ming Dynasty is full of miasma and the atmosphere is not right. In this way, the life of the people will be more miserable, and their gains will be less dignified. So. Even if it is to live with dignity, you have to be an official. ”

"yes!" Zhou Tingyu's expression became very ugly: "Now that the Ming Dynasty has decayed, not only is the atmosphere above the court unhealthy and smoky, but also the border passes are also full of erosion. ”

"Won't it?" The three brothers couldn't help but look at Zhou Yu in surprise.

"You are not officials, so naturally you don't know some news." Zhou Tingyu sighed: "Let's talk about our north first, Mongolia has not stopped for a year in these years. Invaded for many years, they called it Akigu. In the past ten years, the people of our Ming border pass have suffered countless casualties, and hundreds of thousands of people have been taken captive by the Mongols. ”

Luo Xin was silent, these things were recorded in later generations, so Luo Xin was very clear. But Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun looked at each other and were shocked.

"And that's just to the north, and the coast to the southeast is just as troublesome. I'm sure you've heard of the Wakos. But you don't know how great the scourge is. ”

"How old?" Zhou Yu couldn't help blurting out.

"In fact, there are only a few pirates, and most of them are pirates along the coast. There were two of the biggest pirates, one named Wang Zhi and the other called Xu Hai, and these two people gathered a large number of pirates, and they also colluded with the Japanese pirates, wandering along the coast from Shandong to Fujian, burning and looting. The Ming army fled in spite of the wind, not daring to face the enemy. Let the coastal people suffer from the rebellion of the Japanese invaders. ”

Zhou Yu exclaimed: "That's my Ming granary!" ”

"Not bad!" Zhou Zhixian nodded and said: "I hate that those big people in the court know it, but they only know that they talk every day and let the Japanese go rampant." There have also been several rebellions in the barbarian Tusi of Yunnan and Shu, and now the Ming Dynasty is erosive both inside and outside, even if he is an official, he wants to live with dignity. How easy is it to say? ”

Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun were in a huge shock, and even Luo Xin was also full of shock. In later life, he only looked at these things from the perspective of a study of history. But now that he has been forced to participate, he has heard what Zhou Tingyu said with his own ears, and his feelings are completely different.

"Do you still want to be officials?" Zhou Tingyu looked at the three people solemnly: "Maybe you will be sent to the above places as officials in the future, and you may be martyred at any time." It's like a rogue you've just experienced. ”

Looking at the three people who were in deep thought, Zhou Tingyu stood up, walked out of the study, and threw the three people in the study. In fact, he was also very conflicted in his heart, hoping that these three juniors would be able to become officials, but also worried that they would be defeated in their careers, and even lose their lives for no reason. Therefore, he can only tell them the actual situation of Daming now, and their final choice is up to them.

The door to the study was gently shut, and there was silence in the room. Half-ringing, Zhang Xun said softly:

"How come we don't know about these things?"

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "If it weren't for my father today, I wouldn't know." It seems that the imperial court is blocking the news. ”

After a pause, Zhou Yu continued: "After two years of hard study, I think that not to mention the township test, even if we can pass the test, we have a great chance of passing, so what we are facing is to be an official." If we don't want to be an official, it's okay, if we decide to be an official, then how do we become an official? What kind of official should you be? ”

"I'm going to be an official!" Zhang Xun said in a firm tone: "This time it's not to fulfill my father's wish, but I want to be an official." The Ming Dynasty has been eroded so far, and it is when I am set things right, and this is what my generation of scholars should do. ”

"Not bad!" Zhou Yu was also in high spirits: "This era is the era that my generation desires, otherwise I will lose interest in being an official." ”

Zhang Xun also said with a light in his eyes: "Big brother, brother Xin, our brothers have joined forces to eradicate the national thief Yan Song and his son." ”

"Not bad!" Zhou Yu took the case: "The root of Da Ming's erosion is Yan Song's father and son." These two thieves bewitched the saints, bullied their colleagues, took bribes with sole power, sold their official positions and formed a party, without the father and son, it would be difficult for the Ming Dynasty to have a future. ”

Luo Xin looked at Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun enviously, this is the spirit of young talents, this is the determination of young talents, even if they fail in the future, they are young!

And Luo Xin just doesn't have this kind of young blood, he doesn't have this kind of radiance, who let him have a soul in his thirties in his body, even if he wants to be young, he can't be young.

Being a man in two lives makes his state of mind more mature, although this can make him more sophisticated, but it also makes him always feel that he has lost something.
