Chapter 85 Two-Year Covenant
Chapter 85 Two-year agreement
After saying this, Sun Dan felt a sense of relief.
A flash of inspiration in his mind had already had a clear idea.
If I were under Yang Shen's disciple, I might be able to "rely with my strength to send me to Qingyun when I first entered the officialdom." But when Yang Tinghe came down from the position of Prime Minister of the Cabinet in the third year of Jiajing, I would also be in trouble with him.
Speaking of Jiajing, many places are like Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty. They have very powerful political skills and strong will. But they are narrow-minded and have clear distinction between love and hate. Appreciating a person will lead to the extreme love, and once he hates someone, that person is not even as good as shit in his eyes.
The dispute over the discussion of great rituals in the early years of the Jiajing Dynasty seemed to be caused by Emperor Jiajing's promotion of the title of king for his father. But in fact, it was a dispute over imperial power and ministerial power, and a political difference between the emperor and civil servants' group.
Emperor Jiajing has always been cruel to his political enemies and has no kindness to speak of.
After Yang Tinghe resigned from his position as a cabinet minister and returned to his hometown to retire, Yang Shen became the civil servant group of the court, which was the first target that the emperor needed to defeat.
After a series of political struggles, Yang Shen was exiled to Yongchang Wei in Yunnan and returned to his hometown in Sichuan for more than 30 years. He did not make any achievements in politics.
After the fall of the Yang family father and son, most of the Yang officials were demoted.
Not only that, in the sixth year of Jiajing, the Jinyiwei brought his salary to the office of hundreds of households to sue Yang Shen, which was also very involved. Yang Tinghe's other son, son-in-law, and disciple were demoted to civilians and arrested and imprisoned. One of Yang Tinghe's adopted sons committed suicide by being arrested and unable to withstand humiliation on the way to Beijing.
Since then, the entire Yang civil servant system has been wiped out by Jiajing.
This is also the foresight of history as a modern person.
If you are now under Yang Shen's disciple, you may be able to become a high-ranking official within the next one or two years. However, once Jiajing ascends the throne and the throne is stable, what awaits him, Sun Dan will be in an unexpected danger.
Why is Sun Dan working hard to study now? Isn’t he just to make a name for himself in this damn Ming Dynasty and live a corrupt life of luxury and wealth?
If he really said that, he had no political ideals for the country and the people. In the eyes of modern people, the future discussions and other things seemed very ridiculous.
"I, Sun Dan, came to the Ming Dynasty to make soy sauce, why should I get involved in this kind of thing?"
"Sun Dan can't be with the teacher." After making up his mind, Sun Dan did not hesitate anymore.
Hearing this, Sun Henian's expression changed drastically. He looked at Sun Dan with an incredible expression, and his three long beards were automatically free of wind.
Seeing Sun Dan refuse, Yang Shen was not angry, and smiled calmly and asked, "Brother Sun Dan, do you look down on my talent?"
"No, Mr. Yang is the first scholar in the country and the top scholar of the dynasty. In our Ming Dynasty, if we say that the most extensive chants and the most extensive writings are, there is no one who can be with the teacher. Being able to worship under the teacher is a luxurious dream of any student. However, Sun Dan really cannot worship under the teacher, so please forgive me."
"Bastard!" Sun Henian slapped the table.
"Brother Henian, don't be angry. Listen to Brother Tan to finish his words." Yang Shen continued to ask Sun Tan: "Brother Sun must have any difficulties. You and I had a great time on Daming Lake that day. We are already friends who have forgotten our age. You might as well say something clearly."
Naturally, Sun Dan would not tell him that you, Yang Shen, will be in great trouble. I will follow you. In the future, not only will you be removed from the hat and lose your reputation, but you will also be very likely to stay in prison for the rest of your life. You, Yang Shen, are all over the world, and the emperor will not do anything to you. But a small character like me, beat you to death, and no one cares about it.
If you tell him this now, you will definitely be regarded as an idiot.
As a person, you must learn to refuse, and it is best to occupy a moral level when rejecting others.
"When Mr. Yang said, Sun Dan had already been with Mr. Li Meiting. If he had turned to you now, it would not be the reason for Sun Dan to be a human being. A gentleman should be loyal, filial, courtesy, righteousness, integrity and shame. If Sun Dan changed to Mr. Yang, wouldn't he be an unfaithful person? If Sun Dan really did this, can he still see me?" Sun Dan said solemnly: "If Mr. Yang is a current academic teacher, according to the rules of the academic field, Sun Dan could call him a teacher. However, if you do this, Sun Dan would not agree."
"Okay!" Sun Henian was still waiting for Yang Shen to speak, and he was already applauding. He was a moral man, and Sun Dan's words were just about to reach his heart.
Yang Shen also shouted OK and stood up excitedly: "It's really good, it's really good. It's not worth it. It's someone I, Yang Shen, valued. With the character of an ancient man, he will definitely become a great man in the future. Brother Henian, if you have such a child in the Sun family, you will surely prosper."
The famous Yang Shen praised Sun Henian proudly and said, "A child should not be praised by me."
Sun Dan breathed a sigh of relief: This level has finally passed.
"People say that Sun Dan is the Qianliju of the Sun family, so they gave up, but Yang Shen was a little unwilling to accept it." Yang Shen walked to Sun Dan and suddenly asked, "Brother Sun, you will have confidence in the autumn exam after the next year."
Sun Dan: "Try your best to do your best."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to take the imperial examination in the capital to see you pass the imperial examination." Yang Shen laughed and said, "When you pass the imperial examination, I will ask the emperor to be the chief examiner. If you pass the imperial examination, I will naturally become your teacher. If you fail, you are not qualified to be my student. Brother Sun, at that time, will you be willing or not? If you are willing, we will make a two-year agreement." After that, he stretched out his hand.
"It's use cultivation..." Sun Henian shook his head repeatedly and said to himself: It's true that he is a talented man's habit, and he can even think of such things.
Sun Dan had no choice but to high-five Yang Shen and made this bet with him: "If I pass the Jinshi in two years, Mr. Yang will be the chief examiner, and Sun Dan will naturally come to worship you as a teacher."
If history does not deviate, Jiajing will have to hold a tribute in advance next year. The two-year agreement will probably be invalidated. If you really pass the Jinshi, you don’t have to become a disciple. Besides, next year will be the most lively year of the great ceremony. The emperor and the Yang family have become popular, so naturally they will not let Yang Shen be the chief examiner and strengthen the power of the Yang civil servants.
Sun Dan was not worried.
With satisfaction, Yang Shen suddenly remembered: "Brother Sun, you almost couldn't enter the gate of the tribute school this time. Could it be that you missed the hour because of sleepiness?" He had already learned about this from Wang Yuanzheng. He was very dissatisfied with what the Sun family did, so he wanted to take this opportunity to give Sun Dan a long ambition.
Sun Dan smiled slightly: "Boy is just a small gardener in the Sun Mansion. He has work to do every day. On the day of the exam, I happened to have work on hand, so I rushed over after finishing it. Fortunately, Lord Wang opened the net and let the students enter the examination room, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, it would be a big mistake." Yang Shen nodded: "It is obvious that you are lazy by nature, but you have to find such an excuse. The Sun family, a scholar, is a scholar who cares about it every day, how can you shirke the responsibility and not take responsibility?"
"Sir, I have learned the lesson." Sun Dan said sincerely.
Yang Shen waved his head: "It's good to know that I'm wrong. I'm busy with business, so I'll take a step first. Say goodbye."
Seeing Yang Shen leaving, Sun Henian's expression changed. He turned to ask Mrs. Liu: "Madam, did Sun Dan arrange work in the early morning of the exam? Who arranged it and how did it?"
Mrs. Liu looked up at Sun Dan with a harsh smile on her lips: "But I don't know about this. I'm tired recently. The affairs coefficient in the mansion was entrusted to Aunt Jing to handle it. Master, please ask her."
When Aunt Jing heard Mrs. Liu say this, her face immediately became bloodless.
