According to Chen Yunfu's past life experience, when a good thing suddenly finds you, you must ask yourself why several times in your heart.

Why should good things come to you instead of to Zhang San or Li Si?

Because you look handsome? Because you eat a lot or because you don’t like to wash your feet?

There is no such thing as love without reason. He, Chen Yunfu, just met Qian Yi today. Let alone feelings, there is not even a basic friendship. How could someone be so kind and want to recruit him, Chen Yunfu, to join the government.

Thinking of this, Chen Yunfu looked at Qian Yi with a smile.

"Brother Qian, if you have anything to say, it's okay to say it directly. You won't receive any reward for your merits. I dare you to accept your recommendation and great kindness."

Qian Yi groaned and said angrily: "Look, Brother Xian, you are overthinking. I just met Brother Xian today, and I suddenly felt that Brother Xian, although you are young, you have great talent, and you can't bear to let your pearls be dusted."

Good guy, no matter what your status is, Qian Yi, you actually said such words of respect for your talent.

If he were a child with little experience, he would faint after hearing Qian Yi's heartfelt words and being praised at the end. However, Chen Yunfu was just the opposite. The more Qian Yi acted like this, the more scared he became.

Immediately he refused.

"Brother Qian, you and your beloved brother, I agree, can you recommend me to the Imperial College? I don't dare to bear with you. It's late at night. Brother Qian should go to bed early and I won't send you off."

Qian Yi wanted to say something more, but when he saw Chen Yunfu bowing his hands in a gesture of expelling guests, he could not remain shameless and could only shake his head and leave with a sigh.

As soon as he left, Shao Ziheng, who had been lingering by the concierge and looking around, came over.

"Yunfu, what are you talking about with this money?"

"No one else, he said that he would recommend me to study in the Imperial College."

It's better to talk about this kind of thing, so as to save others from thinking and suspecting that Chen Yunfu had some shady connections with his friends and neighbors when he first arrived.

Shao Ziheng snorted, shook his head and curled his lips: "This Qian Yi is so uneasy and kind-hearted."

"It seems that Brother Zi Heng has encountered it before?" Chen Yunfu instantly realized the meaning of these words. He slapped his forehead and suddenly realized: "I understand."

Shao Ziheng was about to say a few words, but was stunned when he saw this.

"What did Yunfu understand?"

"Haha, I still wonder what Qian Yi's plans are. He is an ignorant and ignorant person who only wants to get something for nothing."

Chen Yunfu shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Brother Ziheng, Rong Yongyou guessed that Qian Yi has no fame yet, and he also wants to go directly to the Imperial College, but his father, as a member of the Imperial College, is too embarrassed to promote his own son, so he just thinks about the curve.

Bao'er, send us to the Imperial Academy first, and then recommend his son through our mouths.

In this way, no one in the DPRK will be able to find fault."

At this moment, Chen Yunfu fully understood that this was the trick played by Zhongzheng Yingchao in the late Ming Dynasty.

The Donglin Party is as close as a family. Everyone queues up to get the upper hand, recommends each other, and gradually controls the government.

This is where the recommendation system is broken.

Qian Youcha first recommended people like Shao Ziheng and Chen Yunfu to the court, and then reciprocated the favor, and they recommended Qian Yi to the court.

What is this called? This is called the exchange of political resources and the sharing of political dividends.

good for everyone.

Except for the fact that the court is not good, the country is not good, and the people are not good, everyone is good!

In addition, what is Chen Yunfu's identity? In Qian Youcha's mind, Chen Yunfu is the favorite son of Boss Zhu. His son Qian Yibao and Chen Yunfu are admitted to the Imperial College. Is there anyone in the Imperial College who dares to find fault?

Sympathetically, if Chen Yunfu and Shao Ziheng spoke to recommend Qian Yi again, no one in the Imperial College would dare to say anything.

One is the favored person of Mr. Zhu, and the other is the son of Du Yushi, Youqian Du of the Duchayuan. Whoever dares to refuse the person they protect will be worried in his heart.

This has played a role in attracting and protecting each other, and everyone has stayed together to share the benefits, and then with the extension of their respective power bases and the continuous recruitment of new echelon members into the government, they have formed a partisan mountain.

If Chen Yunfu couldn't see through this trick, then the more than ten years of politics in his previous life would have been in vain.

Shao Ziheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Yunfu in disbelief.

The deeper meaning behind Qian Yi's instigation was that his father, Shao Zhi, had spoken out. Unexpectedly, Chen Yunfu could see through it at a glance.

Is this what a fourteen-year-old child should have?

Sure enough, reality reminds me all the time that I am a waste.

At that moment, Shao Ziheng cupped his hands and praised: "Yunfu really knows how to see fire, and I admire him for that."

"Brother Zi Heng said something serious. Since you also rejected Qian Yi, brother Zi Heng, it means that brother Zi Heng has also seen through this trick."

"Don't dare, don't dare." Shao Ziheng waved his hands hurriedly: "Yunfu is so proud of me, but my brother is really embarrassed. It was my father who gave me advice, otherwise I might have fallen into his trap of Qian Yi."

After saying that, he said goodbye: "It's getting late. Yunfu will stay and rest early. Shao will take his leave."

"Brother Ziheng, walk slowly."

After watching Shao Ziheng leave, Chen Yunfu turned around and stepped through the door of the house, thinking hard in his heart.

The Shao family is very honest and has no bureaucratic habits or style.

Shao Zhi was the right censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and in later generations, he was a senior official at the deputy ministerial level. After all, he was the deputy prosecutor general of the Supreme People's Procuratorate.

At this level and in such a prominent position, there are definitely not a few sycophants who want to flatter his Shao family, but this Shao Zhi is so upright that no one will accept his recommendation for his son.

If I want to become an official in the court, I will take the exam myself next year.

We do it based on our ability, and we deserve it if we fail the exam.

Just for this reason, he is worthy of being appointed to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

If not, even the dignified censor of the Du Cha Yuan, You Qian Du, is a complicit person, then how bad would the political atmosphere of the Hongwu Dynasty be at this moment?

Chen Yunfu was glad that he did not trust Qian Yi gullibly, otherwise if he was really recommended to the Imperial Academy, it would probably have some negative impact on his future development.

"It's better to read books honestly and prepare for the exam with peace of mind."

Back in the study, Chen Yunfu looked at the calendar he had drawn on the wall, and there was a line of large characters written on it.

"There are 266 days left until the imperial examination starts."

Looking at it, Chen Yunfu laughed.

This atmosphere is like dreaming back to the past life and preparing for the national examination.
