The Guichou subject in the eighth year of Xuande was about the least Jinshi. Only 99 Jinshi were admitted in total, and Xu Yan was not at the bottom, ranking third from the bottom in the second place.

This ranking belongs to the six divisions of the political circles in the Ming Dynasty. I am afraid that he will never have a chance with the cabinet for the rest of his life. However, with the explosion of luck and strength, Xu Yan successfully passed the museum selection and became a Shujishi.

During the reign of Emperor Taishang established an unwritten rule: if you are not a Jinshi, you will not enter the Hanlin, and if you are not a Hanlin, you will not enter the cabinet.

Shujishi was the reserve official of the Hanlin Academy. After studying various rules, he took on the work of a written secretary around the emperor. He first stayed at the hall as a Hanlin bachelor and lecturer, then was appointed as an official of the Eastern Palace, and then entered the Ministry of Rites. Finally, he entered the cabinet from the Ministry of Rites. This was the path of the Qinggui Prime Minister.

After Xu Feng became a Shujishi, he entered the Hanlin Academy and sang along this road until he was stupid and proposed the "proposal for moving south."

Putting aside the title of "treacherous minister", Xu Yan's performance is indeed far beyond his peers. He has accomplished a lot in military strategy. In his early years, he wrote "Five Comments on Military Affairs" for the Southwest, which was praised by the Emperor. In addition, he is also very proficient in astronomy, geography, water conservancy engineering, Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Ziwei Doushu, Plum Blossom Liuren...

With so many miscellaneous studies, each of them can play very beautifully. You can also enter the top 35 in the national exam once every three years. Your calligraphy is profoundly exquisite as Chu Suiliang. This is a typical template for famous officials. Even if you fail to become the chief minister, you can definitely leave your name in history.

Such a star from the Hanlin Academy made a mistake and fell into the imperial prison for a moment, which really makes people feel a pity.

As a junior of Xu Yan, Liu Maodian still admires Xu Yan's talent very much. If Xu Yan is willing to become a disciple of his teacher, it will indeed be a great addition to the teacher.

Liu Maodian calmly went to the warehouse behind to find some files. These files are Xu Yan's resume. This person's background is all in three generations of ancestors, and his actions after entering the officialdom were also recorded. Liu Maodian did not need to read more about the previous content, but only looked at the back: Before Xu Yan was imprisoned, he was sent to Zhangde to serve as the supervisor of the censor and organized Henan to guard the capital.

Liu Maodian closed the file, rolled it upright, put it in his sleeve, and went straight out of the Hanlin Courtyard and headed to the cabinet.

Today it was his teacher Yu Qian who was on duty.

After successfully repelling the Ola and guarding the capital, Yu Qian was the magistrate of the young guard and the military affairs. He also had the merit of supporting the people. He naturally took charge of the cabinet, sent troops to calm the people, and went alone to recruit the people, and kept a guard from the piece of paper. He joined the official position as a censor, and later governed the local government, and after returning to the capital, he became the Minister of War. Such a resume was really impossible to cultivate his own foundation. With Yu Qian's tenacity and integrity, he did not bother to cultivate his foundation, so there were very few disciples and former officials.

If the court is a civil and military service, the chief minister does not need his own disciples. However, there are people in the world, especially in the officialdom. Without his close disciples, there are many things that cannot be started. He is willing to do things above, while others are intentionally making trouble below.

Yu Qian's opinion is that there are now problems with the Oirat in the northwest, the Miaogong Rebellion in the southwest, and the harassment of Japanese pirates on the southeast coast, and the restoration of Jiaozhi is far away. It is really not a peaceful world. He advocated the welcome of the Emperor. Although he successfully avoided the shame of Zhao Song, the division of the government and the opposition became more serious after the Emperor returned to the palace, which made him exhausted.

At this time, Yu Qian was reading the book at his desk. When he heard that the student Liu Maodian asked for a meeting, he put down his work, leaned on the back of the chair, and gently moved his sore shoulders and neck.

When Liu Maodian came in, Yu Qian said, "Do you think you have something important to see me?"

Liu Maodian said that, and put Xu Feng's file on Yu Qian's desk with both hands and said, "Teacher, the student dared to recommend a capable official to you."

Yu Qian did not hide his expectations, picked up the file and opened it, and saw Xu Xu's name as soon as he saw it. He was not "heard" of Xu Xu. On that day, Xu Xu proposed to move south, but Yu Qian angrily scolded in person: "Anyone who proposes to move south should be killed!" Although Xu Xu was not beheaded for this, and he also acted as the censor, he was sentenced to prison after returning, so he must have the attitude of Yu Qian.

Yu Qian put down the file and said to his beloved disciple: "Do you know who this is?"

Liu Maodian bowed his back and said respectfully: "This person is comparable to Li Linfu of the Tang Dynasty and Cai Yuan of the Song Dynasty."

Cai Yuanchang was Cai Jing, the treacherous minister of the Song Huizong Dynasty. At that time, he was called the "head of the Six Thieves", which shows his reputation. Li Linfu was considered the culprit of the decline of the Tang Dynasty, and Cai Jing was also considered by later generations to be a typical example of a jester's misleading the country. Liu Maodian compared Xu Feng to these two people, but recommended him to his teacher, which was really a bit contradictory.

Yu Qian did not hide his fatigue in front of the students and said bluntly: "Don't make amazing words. What do you think? Tell me."

Liu Maodian took a step forward and said: "Although Li Linfu and Cai Jing were indeed traitors who had been infamous for thousands of years, Li Linfu was in power and coordinated the preparation of the "Six Dictations of the Tang Dynasty"; Cai Jing did not talk about his calligraphy, but only said that he reformed the salt and tea method, remade the money method, and established the nursing home, Anjifang, and Luze Garden. These good policies were still in use until our dynasty."

Yu Qian said with a slight look in his head: "You are trying to persuade me to use it only." He suddenly opened his eyes: "So can unkind and unfilial people also give them a public instrument!"

Liu Maodian was startled and bowed quickly and said, "Teacher calms down. Students think that people like Xu Xu Feng can use their talents but not grant them power. If a teacher is in charge of the center, what kind of storm can cause a small jumping beam?"

After hearing this, Yu Qian felt a little bit of recognition in his heart. He is now in charge of the cabinet, and the officials of the cabinet are respected by him, and the officials of the six ministries admire his reputation. With such a loud momentum, can't he suppress Xu Xiang?

The court is now at the moment of hiring people!

Seeing that the teacher was quite moved, Liu Maodian said again: "Teacher, Xu Feng is willing to serve as the Imperial College Priest."

Yu Qian's first reaction was that Xu Xu wanted to surrender to him. But then he thought that surrendering only took one sentence, why did he go to the Imperial College? Just between two breaths, Yu Qian reacted: Xu Xu showed that he was in the position of supporting the Pavilion.

Although the Imperial College is also noble, it is more noble than the Imperial College. The next step is to go to Nanjing to retire and wait for retirement.

What Yu Qian was most worried about was that the villain made a comeback in the court. Xu Xu made such a statement, which made him feel relieved. He said, "I understand."

Liu Maodian also knew what the teacher meant and bowed to leave.
