In this era, people cannot stand without trust, not to mention that Lin Jingzhi made an oath not long after he was elected as a high school student at the age of fourteen, and the matter he did caused a storm in the city and everyone knew about it. Therefore, even if Lin Jingzhi wants to
No matter if you are involved in an official career, you must first think about whether you can withstand the criticism and difficulties of public opinion.
Furthermore, the reason why Lin Jingzhi took the oath was because of the death of his parents. If he really broke the oath, wouldn't he become an unfilial person?
Untrustworthy and unfilial, if he cannot find a better excuse to refute these two things, no matter how talented he is, he will not be recognized by the world, and his future will be poor.
I would like to ask, which emperor dares to reuse a juren who is despised by everyone in the world?
What kind of master, what kind of servants, if the real emperor dares to reuse him, wouldn't he also be charged with being unfaithful and unfilial?
Lin Jingzhi had thought carefully about whether to enter the official career again, and he had thought about it very thoroughly. He was not interested in becoming an official, but he also understood the links involved, so he felt that if there were no good opportunities or opportunities in the future, he would
I have no chance of being an official in this life.
"Go back to General Zheng..."
Lin Jingzhi was about to speak when he was interrupted by Zheng Sheng. To be honest, in addition to wanting to promote his son's friendship with Lin Jingzhi, Zheng Sheng was also very fond of this young man just because Lin Jingzhi sent the jade Ruyi very deliberately.
He had a good impression and said, "My dear nephew, there is no need to be so outspoken. This is neither a court nor a military camp. You should still call me Uncle Zheng."
"Yes, Uncle Zheng." Lin Jingzhi was just thinking about how to get close to him when the other party spoke automatically. Naturally, he would not refuse such a good thing that he wished for. Then he explained: "Uncle Zheng, in fact
To be honest, the reason why my nephew is unwilling to enter the official career again is mainly because the death of his parents is a huge blow to my nephew."
"My nephew was able to pass the examination at the age of fourteen, thanks to the tireless teachings and cultivation of his parents. But in the end, my nephew died in depression because of his success in the examination. I ask Uncle Zheng,
With such a selfish nature, how can my nephew be qualified to set foot in the court? Furthermore, his parents are no longer here, so even if my nephew can be the top scholar in high school, who will he show off to!"
Lin Jingzhi expressed his reluctance to become an official one by one. Lin Jingzhi felt deeply in his heart. His eyes became sore and he shed a few tears. In his last life, his parents complained over and over again before they died.
She told him over and over again that he must live well, so the topic of parents easily touched the softest emotions in his heart.
This scene of a Confucian scholar crying because he blamed himself for missing his parents made Zheng Sheng and his son sigh with sadness.
However, although Zheng Jianqiu was deeply touched, he still did not give up his plan to persuade Lin Jingzhi to return to the official career. However, just when he was about to speak, he saw his father gently shaking his head at him, indicating that he should stop persuading him for the time being.
Zheng Sheng was also a filial son, and he knew very well how heavy a blow his parents' departure would have on his son. What's more, the death of Lin Jingzhi's parents was closely related to Lin Jingzhi, so comforting him at this time would not be able to do anything.
functional.
It was getting late at this time, and it was getting dark. Zheng Sheng stood up and said: "My dear nephew, your parents have passed away and cannot be resurrected. You should look away from them in the future. If I remember correctly,
, you still have a grandma to support at home, and for no other reason than just for the elderly to spend their old age peacefully, you have to get back on your feet."
When Zheng Jianqiu received the look from his father, he also stood up, stepped forward to hold Lin Jingzhi's arm, and said: "Yes, dear brother, you have to look away more in the future. Let's go, it's time."
It’s getting late, let’s go to the restaurant to have dinner together.”
Lin Jingzhi turned his head and wiped away a few tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves. When he raised his head again, he was much calmer, "My nephew felt something in his heart for a moment, which seems a bit rude."
"When it comes to love, no matter what is rude or not, I am a general who practices martial arts, and I just like men with true temperaments. Let's go and have dinner with me!" Zheng Sheng waved his hand, raised his feet first, and walked out of the hall.
, Lin Jingzhi and Zheng Jianqiu quickly followed side by side.
Zheng Sheng's back is very straight and straight, like a ridge that cannot be bent. He walks very fast, and speaks boldly. He seems to have no scheming, and he speaks quickly.
Is Zheng Sheng, a fourth-grade official from the ground, really that simple?
Although Lin Jingzhi had never held an official position in his two lifetimes, he still shook his head slightly. No matter whether he was a civil servant or a military officer, if he really didn't know how to be an official, he would not have achieved such an achievement.
The Zheng family has several restaurants, and because Lin Jingzhi is a male guest, he has to walk a longer way to avoid the women in the backyard. He passes through three or four arches and walks out for about two to three hundred meters.
A young man with a fair face and similar age to Zheng Jianqiu walked towards him.
Seeing this young man, Zheng Jianqiu's expression changed involuntarily.
The young man obviously didn't expect to meet the three of them here. Before Zheng Sheng could approach, he hurriedly greeted him, "Yuaner pays his respects to my father."
Zheng Sheng stopped, gave him a hand, and said: "Get up, your elder brother and I are going to entertain guests today, please step aside."
"Yes." The young man responded, looked at Lin Jingzhi curiously, then casually cupped his hands to Zheng Jianqiu, turned around and left.
When this young man looked at Zheng Jianqiu, there was obviously a trace of disdain in his eyes.
Zheng Jianqiu's face sank slightly, and then he took a deep breath to calm down again. Then as he walked, he casually introduced Lin Jingzhi, "Xiandi, that young man is my second brother, Zheng Guangyuan."
The Zheng family is no better than the Lin family. The power in the government is very complicated. Although Zheng Jianqiu's mother is the head wife, her natal family does not have much influence. In order to consider his career, Zheng Sheng once had a political marriage with a powerful person in the court and married a two-bedroom wife.
, the two wives each gave birth to children, so although the Zheng family's connections were prosperous, they also had their own troubles.
Not long ago, Zheng Jianqiu was assassinated in Luo City, and the mastermind behind it was most likely a master of the Zheng family.
In fact, Zheng Sheng also knew this matter very well, but even a married woman with two wives was not easy to mess with. Moreover, they both had sons and their status was consolidated. Although he was very angry about this matter, if he could not get any concrete evidence,
, he was really helpless.
In his eyes, these children were all his own flesh and blood, but the two-married wife was eyeing the position of the eldest son and refused to give up, so he had to transfer the most skilled personnel among the guards to Zheng Jianqiu.
Be by your side to protect this son.
Zheng Jianqiu's mother was just the daughter of a small businessman, so she was always looked down upon by Zheng Sheng's other wives and concubines. Zheng Jianqiu was also looked down upon by his half-brothers and sisters because of his mother's low status, even though he was the legitimate son.
The eldest son, in fact, his power in the mansion is far less than that of his younger brothers.
Seeing that Zheng Jianqiu's expression was obviously ugly, Lin Jingzhi just nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
The three of them came to the restaurant, and the servants immediately put the food on the table. During the meal, Zheng Jianqiu still tried to persuade Lin Jingzhi to change his mind. Lin Jingzhi had been moved once before, but when he refused this time, his words were not too fierce.
Zheng Sheng was sitting in the upper seat and frowned when he saw that his son was just chattering away. It seemed that his son was still a little frivolous and impatient and not calm enough.
Giving Zheng Jianqiu a wink, he dipped his fingers in water and secretly wrote a few big words in the dark, 'If you want more, you can't achieve it!'
After being stunned for a moment, Zheng Jianqiu suddenly realized that he no longer mentioned the topic of persuading Lin Jingzhi to enter the official career again.dd
