Having said this, I remembered that I also belonged to the ranks of literati, and a look of embarrassment appeared on my face.Zhou Yu on the side snorted coldly and said:

"We try our best to pass the Jinshi examination early and become an official in the court. If the younger brother does something wrong, we will admit the crime that should be done. If something is created out of nothing, hmph, our three brothers don't just know how to eat."

Luo Xin's heart was moved, he knew that it was Zhou Yu who really accepted Luo Qing, not because of himself.

"Thank you bro!"

Luo Xin has changed his mind, among the four of them sworn brothers, Zhou Yu is the oldest, no doubt he will be the eldest brother.Hearing that Luo Xin called him that, Zhou Yu was also delighted and said:
"Brother Xin, my name is Hao De! Also, it is enough that only the four of us know about our sworn brotherhood. Don't flaunt it to the outside world."

"Why?" Zhang Xun asked puzzled, "We don't need to show off, but there's no need to hide either, right?"

Zhou Yu said softly: "Brother Xin, Brother Xun, you two are still young and have never experienced officialdom."

Speaking of this, he laughed at himself and said: "Of course I have never experienced officialdom, but I have heard my father say a lot. Do you know how many kinds of officials there are?"

"How many kinds?" Zhang Xun asked, but Luo Xin thought deeply.Zhou Yu continued: "There are only two types, one is clique formation, and the other is independent minister. Do you understand clique formation and independent minister?"

"understand!"

Both Luo Xin and Zhang Xun said in a low voice, although there was no one else in the room except the sleeping Luo Qing, the three of them were still full of tension.Luo Xin was no exception. He had never been an official in his previous life. Although he had heard some stories, he had no personal experience.But he knows that official career is not necessarily easier than the battlefield, but sometimes more dangerous, and he doesn't know how to die.

"It goes without saying that a single minister, such a person is only loyal to the emperor, as long as it is the emperor's order, no matter whether it is right or wrong, he will resolutely implement it. This kind of person is a jester in the eyes of literati, and Ming Dynasty was a world ruled by the royal family and the scholar-bureaucrats. , if everything is decided by the royal family, the world will be in chaos."

Having said this, a trace of arrogance appeared on Zhou Yu's face, that is the arrogance of a literati.In fact, in Daming, literati did have the status of competing with the royal family.

"But isn't the emperor strictly forbidden to form a party?" Zhang Xun asked in a low voice.

"It's not forbidden." Zhou Yu smiled wryly, "And sometimes we can't help ourselves which side we choose."

"Involuntary?" This time it was Luo Xin's turn to be dumbfounded.

"That's right!" Zhou Yu sighed and said, "Heaven and earth kings and masters! When we take the Jinshi examination, the chief examiner is our teacher and the room teacher.

The students are in the world, near or hundreds of thousands of miles, far or thousands of miles away, with different languages ​​and names. Once they enter the imperial examination, there are so-called chief examiners, who are called tutors; The person on the same list is called the same year; the son of the same year is called the nephew; the son of the master and the house master is called the elder brother; It is called the grandson of the disciple; the grandson of the disciple is called the teacher of his teacher, and he is called the grand master. "

A disciple is a disciple.Originally, the relationship between the examiner and the disciple was just because of an exam.One is the examiner and the other is the examinee.The examiner is ordered by the emperor, and the candidates take the exam according to the system. If they pass the exam, it means that they have acquired the ability, and being admitted is the right they should enjoy.The two are business affairs, and it doesn't matter to give or receive favors, but, I don't know who and when, they actually formed a strong sense of personal friendship: as long as you admit me, you are my mentor; as long as I admit you, you are my personal.As for those who have done a little bit more, they should be more grateful.

And this has formed a relationship of recognition among literati.If you have different ideas from your teacher in the future and argue in the court, it will be treason, ungrateful, and despised by the entire literati class.

but……

This division is not something we can choose.

We are officials to display our own revenge, for the people, for the great Ming, and for the world.How can I change my ambition and obey the teacher?
Once our brothers encounter such things in the future, we will not be able to cause all of our brothers to lose their positions because of one incident. As long as one of our brothers is still an official in the court, there will be a day of comeback.So we can't show that we are brothers, on the surface we are just good friends who appreciate each other, so in the future it will make our brothers move a lot more. "

Luo Xin and Zhang Xun were silent for a moment, and said in unison: "Good! Thank you for your advice, brother."

The three of them talked in low voices in the West Wing, and Luo Xin's parents in the East Wing did not fall asleep either.Today their mood is ice and fire.On the one hand, he was afraid because his two sons were almost killed by the three of Yu Bin, and on the other hand, he was excited because Luo Xin made friends with the son of the magistrate.How can I fall asleep under such alternating emotions?

"Damn!"

"Ok?"

"Xin'er has already started to make friends, and they are all scholars. Is it inconvenient for him to live with Qing'er again?"

"His father, do you want to?"

"Should we build a separate room for Xin'er? Let him have a place to study and entertain guests in the future?"

"Well! It's time to build a separate room for Xin'er. There's a place behind the room. Let's build it for Xin'er in a few days."

"Okay!" Luo Ping nodded and said, "However, we still need to ask Xin'er's opinion first."

"Yes!" Luo Shi also nodded and said, "I found that Xin'er's vision is wider and farther than ours after studying."

the next day.

Luo Qing, who had a good night's sleep, woke up refreshed. Luo Xin, Zhou Yu, and Zhang Xun each woke up staring at a pair of dark circles, looked at each other, and couldn't help pointing at each other and laughing.

Both Luo Qing and Luo Xin were injured, and they couldn't do their morning exercises anymore.Luo Xin then pulled the elder brother over and told Luo Qing about the four of them planning to become brothers.A look of excitement appeared between Luo Qing's brows.

He knew the status of a scholar in Ming Dynasty today, but he didn't expect that Zhang Xun and the magistrate's son would be willing to sworn brothers with him. How could he not be excited?
However, although he is simple and honest, he is not stupid, but has a strong understanding.Otherwise, it would not be possible to train the Luo Family Spear and Guan Dao to that level.After being a little excited for a while, I realized that Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun probably swore to him for the sake of their younger brother, and a trace of disappointment could not help but appear in their eyes.

The trace of loss in his eyes was seen by Luo Xin, and he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart.He couldn't let Luo Qing have this kind of thought in his heart. Once he had this kind of thought, Luo Qing would unconsciously feel a head shorter in front of Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun in the future.So he said to his elder brother:
"Brother, I told my two brothers about your ambition to join the army as a general and become a marquis. Both brothers admire you very much."
