Vol 2 Chapter 1102: Be honest

Chen Zhuangshi was led by the palace to the Chang'an Palace.
He just came out of Xingqing Palace, and he was still thinking about the meaning of the words that His Majesty said to him.
I haven't figured it out yet, or don't dare to think, people have already arrived at Chang'an Palace.
After the announcement, he finally stepped into the gate of Chang'an Palace.
The scenery here is different from other places in the palace.
The pattern is also very different.
He looked very novel and looked around unabashedly. Provoked the palace's attention frequently.
Outside the study, Xu Yousi said to Chen Zhuangshi: "The empress is inside, and General Chen can go in directly."
"Thank you, Father Xu."
The rules in the palace are old and strong. This time he entered the palace, he prepared twenty or thirty purses. More than half has been spilled.
At this moment, another purse embroidered with gold thread naturally fell into Xu Yousi's hands.
Xu Yousi slid into his sleeves, his eyebrows were not changed the whole time.
Chen Zhuangshi saw that the other party took the purse, and then he walked into the hall with confidence.
"Weichen see empress empress, empress is fortune!"
When he walked into the study, Chen Zhuangshi greeted him loudly, loud enough.
"Free gift!"
Gu Jiu sat on the soft collapse and motioned to Chen Zhuangshi to also sit down and talk.
"Thank you, Niang Niang!" Chen Zhuangshi carefully sat down on the round stool.
Just like talking about family life, Gu Jiu asked casually: "How does it feel to be back in Beijing?"
Chen Zhuangshi smiled and said: "Very good! Better than the Northwest, no need to eat sand. The only bad thing is that there is no war."
Gu Jiu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Has the capital changed a lot?"
"Great changes! In the past few days, the minister visited the Imperial College, the Military Academy, and also went to the Zhixing Academy to observe a few classes. The experience was quite deep. The empress is great, so she supported the establishment of the Academy so that students, rich or poor, can do it. Reading for free, this is a great cause for the future!"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Stop flattering! There is no shortage of flattering people around this palace."
"Weichen is by no means flattering, Weichen really thinks so, and every word he says is sincere."
Chen Zhuangshi looked sincere.
Gu Jiu waved his hand to tell him to stop talking nonsense, "Say something useful."
Chen Zhuangshi smiled, "Can the lady arrange an errand for the Weichen to be able to fight?"
Gu Jiu looked at him with a smile but a smile, "This is the truth, my palace has heard it. That's how you want to fight a war?"
Chen Zhuangshi said in a straightforward manner: "Don’t hide your mother, the Weichen was born in grassroots. If Shanhe Academy had not been able to study for free and had a scholarship, I would not come to the capital and my destiny would be completely rewritten. I can't. I barely get the fame of being a scholar. It's already a great luck. I can get up only by fighting.
If I didn't fight, I wouldn't be qualified to compete with the noble children and civil servants. Only by fighting can the Weichen have the opportunity to climb to the top and let our Chen clan become a big family that everyone is watching. Children in the family, want to study, go to school, want to go to martial arts, do not have to worry about money, do not need to study as hard as I was back then. "
All the truth.
The palace people are secretly talking, is it really good to tell the truth?
The heart of fame and fortune is fully demonstrated. Is this really good?
Gu Jiu laughed, "The palace knew that you were a very pursued person, and a layman who pursued fame and fortune. Fortunately, although you are vulgar, you still have a bottom line. , Barely considered qualified."
"Is it just qualified?" Chen Zhuang felt that he had performed quite well, but he did not expect that in the eyes of the empress, he was only qualified.
Heartbroken!
Gu Jiu smiled, "According to the requirements of the palace, it is not easy to meet the qualifications. You don't have to deal with the problem of the standard. If the palace asks you to lead the troops in the Beijing camp, or go to the military academy Would you like to take students?"
Chen Zhuangshi looked embarrassed, "In front of the mother, the Weichen can only tell the truth. The Weichen is not willing to go to the Beijing Camp or the Military Academy."
Gu Jiu was curious, "If you don’t go to the Beijing Camp, you can understand. If you don’t go to the Military Academy, this palace cannot understand. You know, the students of the Military Academy will be the backbone of the various troops after graduation. You go to the Military Academy as an instructor in the future. Your students are all over the major military camps, you are not happy? You know that many people have robbed their heads and want to go to the military academy to be instructors. However, there are only those who have made military merits and have experience in leading soldiers. One is missing. No one is qualified to enter the military academy as an instructor."
Chen Zhuangshi deliberated and said: "Weichen is not knowing what is good or bad. The empress is all about planning for the weichen. Weichen has a sense of five. However, weichen knows the limits of his abilities and knows what he is good at. Let the Weichen teach A group of student soldiers trapped in the academy all the year round, with Weichen’s temperament that he likes to make troubles, fearing that he would be suffocated. Weichen wanted to fight for a few more years while he was young and strong. When he was old, he couldn’t make it to the battlefield. , Maybe I will consider entering the military academy to take students and take care of the elderly by the way."
Ha ha!
This was straightforward enough, and honest enough, and of course it was enough to be offensive.
Gu Jiu deliberately sullen his face, "Military Academy is not a place for retirement, don't make the wrong idea."
"If the military academy cannot provide for the elderly, then the minister will go home directly for the elderly."
Chen Zhuangshi smiled, with a heartless look.
Gu Jiu snorted, "Go back and wait for the news!"
Huh?
Is this over?
Stop talking for a while?
I haven't said where his errand is.
He hesitated and stopped talking.
Gu Jiu smiled, "What else is Chen Aiqing?"
"No, it's okay!"
Chen Zhuangshi was shocked, got up and left.
When he walked to the door, the empress's voice rang behind him.
"If you have time, it doesn't hurt to look through more information on the south side."
Chen Zhuangshi was surprised at first, and then he was happy, "Oh! The minister obeyed the order, and the minister went to Lantai Temple after he left the palace."
He left happily, and his errand was optimistic.
Go to the south to fight, hahaha...
Call Yan Ci tonight, Wang Xuecheng, the three of them are not drunk and never return.
...
Sure enough, a few days later, Chen Zhuangshi received an order to go overseas to report.
"Now, it's great to be able to fight side by side with Brother Yang again! With Brother Yang with me, my timeless chance is here!"
Chen Zhuangshi was triumphant and made no secret of his inner excitement.
Yan Ci and Wang Xuecheng wish him a smooth journey
"Are you going by land? Or by water?"
"Of course it's the waterway! Since I'm going to camp overseas, I have to take the opportunity to practice water. I learn one more skill, there is always time to come in handy."
"Brother Chen is right. I have recently written a book, and I also feel that my knowledge is not enough to support the content. The more I write, the more I know that I lack a lot of knowledge. After I finish writing the book at hand, I have to retreat and add something. Knowledge."
"Brother Yan has this realization, very good!"
Wang Xuecheng sighed quietly, "Among us, I am the only one who does not seek to make progress. I am very satisfied with my life now and don't want to study at all."
"I understand Brother Wang! Studying is indeed very hard." Chen Zhuangshi patted Wang Xuecheng on the shoulder, feeling sad.
"Without the pressure of the imperial examination, I don't want to turn over the books." Wang Xuecheng said again.
Chen Zhuangshi laughed, "It's the same! But for the sake of my future, I still have to bite the bullet and turn the book every day. How many pages can I read?"
"Brother Chen is right, Brother Wang should pick up the book, and look through a few pages every day." Yan Ci said very emotionally.
I hate less when the book is used.
When all kinds of topics have been written, if you want to make a breakthrough, you need a huge amount of knowledge.
Yan Ci clearly felt that he had reached a bottleneck. What he has learned in the past is no longer enough to support him on the road of writing novels.
If you want to eat fiction all your life, you have to stop and add knowledge.
Either just sink in and eat your own money.
Either settle down with your heart and fly into the sky.
Yan Ci wanted to soar into the sky.
Chen Zhuangshi was sent away, Yanci plunged into the archives, into the Lantai Temple, into the library of Wenqing Bookstore.
He even took the entrance examination of Shanhe Academy again, and wanted to go back to the Academy for further studies.
After only two exams, he was admitted to Shanhe Academy.
Except for the imperial examination, he studied every subject, and he learned very carefully.
Wang Xuecheng was infected by him, and he also picked up books in his spare time. When I read a few pages every day, I feel calmer inside, and people are not so impetuous.
...
Time passed by a little bit.
Chen Zhuangshi went overseas and met Yang Ji.
The brothers met, very affectionate.
Yang Ji patted him on the shoulder, "You can count it. In the next month, I will guide you hand in hand to familiarize yourself with the situation here and visit key people. After a month, you will be the head of overseas operations."
Huh?
How could he not understand the meaning of these words.
Chen Zhuangshi looked dumbfounded!
Yang Ji laughed and took out the appointment letter.
"The appointment letter of the imperial court appoints you as the deputy director of the overseas operation to preside over the work of the overseas operation. As for me, I will return to the capital to return to my life."
"You are gone, who is the chief executive?"
"You! The premise is that you have been able to work for a full year in the position of deputy general manager. If you do well, you will be promoted to general manager after a good year. If you do not do well, the court will send another person to serve as general manager, then you will be the deputy general manager. It's miserable."
Chen Zhuangshi caught the blind for one year, "I have the confidence to do a good job as a chief executive. I am confused. Why didn't I hear this news when I was in the capital? Your Majesty transferred you back to the capital. When did this happen?"
Yang Ji explained his confusion, "Three days after you left Beijing, Your Majesty made a decree to revoke the Jiangnan Metropolitan Government Mansion and summon me to return to the capital. At the same time, he appointed you as the deputy commander of the camp. The decree and the letter of appointment were reached before you. Overseas business."
"Your Majesty and Niang Niang actually hid such a hand. I'm really a pig's brain, so many hints, I can't guess it."
Chen Zhuangshi slapped himself on the head.
Yang Ji was worried that he was afraid that he would be stupid, so he quickly stopped him.
"Time is limited, I will pick you up another day. Pack up and go with me immediately."
"Where to go?"
"Go to the port!"
Chen Zhuangshi had just arrived overseas, and before he came to catch his breath, he started a busy life.
There is no time to acclimatize!
Yang Ji completely treated him as an animal.
Chen Zhuangshi secretly made up his mind that in the future he will also use his men as cattle.
