I still remember the last farewell of Yingtian Mansion. Li Da said with great ambition that he wanted to enter the Governor's Mansion of the Five Army. The battle on the battlefield was the destination of the general's children, rather than holding a broken pen.

Zhao Hongjie overcomes his hesitation and makes up his mind to join the army, preparing to find a way out in the Jinyiwei Nanfufu Department.

In the end, Chen Yichen insisted on the road to imperial examinations, watched his two classmates, and agreed to meet again in the spring examination of the capital next year.

Looking back now, no one has come true.

Maybe this is life, and you will never be able to run according to the track you planned.

But even if Zhao Hongjie entered the Beizhen Fushi, it was not unacceptable. Why did Li Da’s tone have a sarcastic and angry smell in his tone?

This made Chen Yichen very puzzled.

"The Northern Town Fushi is also very good. Judging from Zhao Hongjie's current appearance, he is much more mature and sophisticated."

In addition to ease the atmosphere, Chen Yichen's words were also a truthful word.

In the past, Zhao Hongjie only knew how to have fun and did nothing. Every day after school, he would stroll on the streets and spend until nightfall before returning home.

He is not as good as the legitimate son like Li Da. He has no mine at home waiting for him to inherit. In addition to not causing trouble, he has bullied men and domineers of all kinds of bad behaviors, he can be called a standard second-generation official who has collapsed.

More importantly, Zhao Hongjie is simple-minded and timid. This is an advantage among friends, so there is no need to worry about the other party being too jealous and harmful.

But in society and officialdom, people may be eaten by others and even have no bones left.

Seeing Zhao Hongjie today, at least I feel much more calm. Perhaps the special environment of Beizhen Fushi made him grow very quickly.

"It's pretty good. I've become a minion of a castrator. How can I not be good?"

Li Da's "elebrity" came out, and the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point. The guests who heard the tables next to him looked at him with panic, with a faint sense of fear in his eyes.

Although Wang Zhen did not reach the level of Wei Zhongxian in later generations, the Jinyiwei was not completely notorious. However, with the withdrawal of the Empress Dowager Zhang and the Minister of the Responsible Minister "Three Yangs", Wang Zhen, under the favor of Emperor Yingzong of Ming, no longer had the power to balance his strength in the entire court.

Moreover, as Wang Zhen began to eliminate dissidents and took the Liu Qiu incident as the starting point, his reputation among the civil servants has gradually collapsed.

As we all know, the civil servant group may not have other abilities. As long as you master the pen, your right to speak will be firmly controlled by them.

He dared not rebel against Wang Zhen on the surface, but secretly, the title of eunuch has spread. In addition, Ma Shun, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was even the trusted party member whom Wang Zhen helped to power, and the reputation of the Jinyiwei was not much better.

Now that I shouted out in public, can ordinary customers not be afraid?

"Li Da, be careful!"

At this moment, Chen Yichen also looked serious and warned Li Da to speak for no reason.

At the foot of the emperor of the capital, no one can guarantee whether there are customers in the restaurant with this ability to convey their words to Wang Zhen.

Although Wang Zhen is not as good as Wei Zhongxian in later generations, he will randomly control spy agencies like the Western Factory to acquire people, once he holds a grudge, his life will definitely not be easy.

Even if he had nominal Duke Cheng behind him, he could not stop Wang Zhen's power.

You should know that before the Tumubao Incident, at the peak of power, many ministers and honoraries called him "Wenfu", and this flattering title is almost no less than "Nine Thousand Years".

"snort!"

Li Da snorted coldly, then turned his head aside and stopped talking.

After all, I have left the school and entered the officialdom. No matter how simple the mind is, I have to understand that some words cannot be said.

"Li Da, we are all classmates from Yingtian's school. Now we are in the capital and should take care of each other in unity."

"Even if Zhao Hongjie has joined the Beizhen Fushi, you can't call him why he is a thief's minion. Now it is no longer a casual word when he was a child. Once it is spread, it will have extremely serious consequences for Zhao Hongjie or you!"

In the past, when I was in Yingtian, Chen Yichen was not interested in the laughter and nonsense of such classmates. However, when he left the greenhouse of the school in the capital, he had to be careful in every move, and he might become a handle to defeat himself in the future.

And no matter whether Li Da was really angry or as before, seeing Zhao Hongjie's cowardly behavior was unhappy, he habitually made sarcastic words.

Chen Yichen will no longer allow this situation.

Classmates belong to a natural political alliance, and those who have been studying together since childhood are even more aware of the truth. In a place like the capital, you must unite with sincerity. If you are in a place where tigers and dragons are lying on the ground, you must be united sincerely. If you are in real trouble, you may be these classmates when you were young.

"Brother, do you think I'm so angry because Zhao Hongjie entered the Northern Town Fushi Office to be the Jinyiwei?"

"What I hate is that he worshipped the eunuch as his adoptive father, and also helped the eunuch's nephew Wang Shan to abuse him, and forcibly occupy the wife and concubine Yue, the commander of the former Beijing Guard, Lord Jiang, and the wife of the concubine of the commander of the Beijing Guard!"

"How can I not be angry if I recognize a thief as a father and lose all my conscience?"

In order to prevent being heard by customers around him, Li Da lowered his voice, but from his red face, the anger in his heart can be seen.

Not to mention Li Da, even Chen Yichen looked at Zhao Hongjie in shock when he heard these words.

He never thought that Yingtian's simple and cowardly friend turned into a spy hawk in the capital in just a few months!

"Zhao Hongjie, is this true?"

Even if Li Da said it in person, Chen Yichen still did not believe it in his subconscious mind. He had to hear Zhao Hongjie admit it in person.

Facing Chen Yichen's questioning, Zhao Hongjie looked a little painful. He picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all.

Then he raised his head again, looked straight at Chen Yichen's eyes and replied: "Yes."

With a "knock" sound, Chen Yichen saw too many stories of the eunuch party and the Jinyiwei collusion in later generations. He never imagined that one day his best friend in this era would become a lackey accomplice.

"I……"

Chen Yichen wanted to say something, but he said something to his mouth and didn't know what he could say for a moment.

Now he finally understood why from the beginning, Li Da and Zhao Hongjie had a very strange expression.

Why did I feel my temperament changed a lot when I saw Zhao Hongjie at the first sight, and I was even a little cold?

Now everything can be explained, Zhao Hongjie has embarked on a path that he had never expected at all.

Seeing Chen Yichen unable to speak, Zhao Hongjie smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, and then he said in a low voice: "Yichen, you don't need to say anything more. I chose the road myself, and I don't regret it."

After saying that, Zhao Hongjie stood up and said, "Today you and Li Da will get together. I will invite you to have a drink next time."

After taking the seat, the carriage slowly moved forward, and Chen Yichen's destination for this trip was Shuntian Gongyuan.

Along the way, Chen Yichen was full of platoons, including ceremonial guards, music, guards, etc. Those who don’t know thought that some high-ranking official was traveling.

However, when the people on both sides of the road recognized the official title and knew that it was the new Shuntian Prefecture Provincial Examination and the People's Republic of China, the atmosphere became even more intense.

Ordinary people rushed around and told each other, saying that they were extremely curious about how Jie Yuan looked like. Some people who had young daughters at home even had the intention of catching a son-in-law, thinking about whether they could find a gap to kidnap Chen Yichen to their own home!

Through the curtains of the carriage, Chen Yichen looked at the densely watched the people on both sides of the road. He finally understood why he used such a big show to pick him up and drop him off. Without these soldiers and yamen guards, it would be a problem to promote whether he could go to the tribute court.

"Did you see clearly what Jie Yuanlang looks like?"

"Is Jie Yuanlang handsome and elegant, and handsome?

"I heard that Jie Yuanlang is less than twenty years old, and he is probably the youngest Jie Yuan since the founding of the Ming Dynasty."

"That's because you have heard less. This time, Jie Yuanlang also won the head of the Little Sanyuan case in Yingtian Mansion, and the true Wenquxing was reincarnated!"

"There are too many escorts in the military service, otherwise the old man would have to capture him home as a son-in-law if he fought for this life!"

"Stop dreaming, it's your turn to have such good things?"

There was a constant noise on both sides of the street, and the liveliness was even close to the high school top scorer parading on the street.

The main reason is that Chen Yichen is so young that he doesn’t even have a marriage.

As the youngest Jie Yuanlang in the history of the Ming Dynasty, countless people were curious, wanting to see who he was and whether he had the opportunity to be his son-in-law to ride the dragon.

Moreover, Chen Yichen's background is also eye-catching and his experience. The illegitimate son of the Duke of the Kingdom and the head of the Little Sanyuan case in Yingtianfu, airbornely defeated Jie Yuan, a hero of the Northern Zhili high school.

Any piece of it can be blown in the mouth of a storyteller in a teahouse and a restaurant for half a month.

I was so joking and fighting all the way to Shuntian Gongyuan. At this moment, the gate of the Gongyuan was full of new imperial examination students. They looked at Chen Yichen's pomp, and then they could only wait at the door. A feeling of envy really arose.

Many people even feel that a real man should be like this!

Chen Yichen got off the carriage at this time and first apologized: "Sorry, everyone, it's too late to get off."

Although the situation this time was the same as that of the Yingtian boy's celebration banquet, Chen Yichen was really late and had no intention of establishing authority.

The reason is that there are too many people watching along the way. Even if there are soldiers and yamen runners, they will drive extremely slowly, resulting in the de facto final arrival.

"It's okay, Chen Jieyuan is polite."

"I just arrived shortly after that, Chen Jieyuan did not come late."

"Chen Jieyuan has the style of a gentleman, and I admire him."

Before, most candidates in Shuntian Prefecture didn’t know that Chen Yichen came to take the exam. Even if he got the first place to win, he had heard of his name at most, and he couldn’t understand it.

Now after a few days of spread and fermentation, the name Chen Yichen has basically spread in the Shuntian literary world. Everyone knows that the little Sanyuan Case in Yingtian Mansion was airborne and the number of poems circulating in Shuntian can match people.
