Chapter 335

Tan boyue, Yuanzhou shepherd, the largest civil servant in Yuanzhou and the second grade of the imperial court.

On behalf of the tan family, he gave Li Ling an invitation. Li Ling didn't understand, but Li Ling didn't particularly want to go.

Just when Li Ling was about to refuse, there was a small note on the invitation.

"My tan family has sent someone to invite your father's champion. I hope Lord Li can come."

Li Ling did not expect Tan boyue to invite his father, which was more interesting.

Li Ling knows that the most uncomfortable thing in his father Li Xingfeng's life is that he can't be an official.

After ten years of hard study, I was admitted to the No. 1 position, but I can only be a teacher in a small county. I think any scholar can't stand it.

Although Li Xingfeng has failed in his life, fortunately, his son is filial and his wife is virtuous. He has nothing to complain about.

But in Li Xingfeng's heart, he still wants to do something for the country and the people.

Otherwise, what's the use of having talent and learning at home.

Although Li Ling doesn't know why her father appeared at Tan Boyo's banquet, he also wants to see it for his father's safety.

At dusk, Li Ling changed into clean clothes and walked towards the tan family.

The tan family is worthy of being the shepherd of Yuanzhou. The mansion is also very well built. It may be that their family is the most powerful except the king's mansion of yuan.

At the door of Tan's house, Tan Furong has been waiting there.

"Lord Li, you finally came. I thought our Tan family didn't have this face to invite you."

Tan Furong smiled and looked very moving.

This is a noble girl. Although she has no title, many Duchess can't compare with Tan Furong.

It must be that there are only princess Tinglin who can be a higher status young woman than Tan Furong in the yuan King City.

"Your father is already at the banquet, and there are many distinguished guests at the banquet. All of them want to see you, Lord Li."

When I entered the hall, there were already many people.

In the middle of the main hall sat Tan boyue, the state shepherd, and on the left was Li Ling's father Li Xingfeng.

The person sitting on the right is dressed in Jianghu and looks like a cultivator.

The man opposite Tan Boyo is Qian FUJIA, the owner of the Qian family. Next to Qian Fujia is his son Qian Jin.

When Li Ling arrived at the place, he saluted his father: "why didn't my father tell me when he came to Yuanwang city? My son made too many enemies for fear that his father was in danger."

Unexpectedly, Li Xingfeng smiled: "my son, you still don't know. I won't be in danger in Lord Tan's house."

"Huh?"

Li Ling is suspicious because it seems that Tan boyao and Li Xingfeng have known each other for a long time.

Tan boyao hurried to greet Li Ling and sat down: "don't you know, Lord Li? I took the imperial examination with your father in the same year. I was only the third to explore flowers, and your father was the number one!"

In retrospect, it was a long time ago.

More than ten years ago, Tan boyue was just a very ordinary scholar. In terms of talent and learning, he was not as good as Li Ling's father.

But now it seems that Tan boyue has become a second-class senior official, one of the nine state herdsmen of the Dynasty and the first civil servant of Yuanzhou!

Looking at Li Xingfeng, he is still the master of Dongxi city.

Different fates create different positions for two people.

At present, tamboyo is high in Yuanzhou, and his decrees can be seen everywhere, but Li Xingfeng can only do things according to his subordinates.

However, Tan Boyo will not dictate to Li Xingfeng, because he knows that this man has real skills.

"Brother Xingfeng, I haven't seen you for so many years. I didn't expect that your son has made some achievements." Tan boyao offered a glass of wine to Li Xingfeng.

Li Xingfeng replied: "what did Mr. Tan say? I have no future in my life. Only one son is promising."

When Li Xingfeng spoke, he was neither humble nor arrogant. He didn't flatter Tan boyao because of his high status. It can be seen that he still has the character of many scholars.

As Li Xingfeng said, because he was suppressed by his father-in-law, Grand Master Xu, he could not make any progress in his life, and his ideal could not be realized again.

So the hope of a lifetime should rest on his son.

Fortunately, Li Ling is very promising. Now she has reached the height of fame.

Tamboyo raised his glass again: "do you remember our top spot that year?"

"How can you not remember that Lin Mengjue, the second in the list, lost his pencil bag during the imperial examination. You lent him a pen and I lent him an inkstone, so he could be admitted to the second in the list."

Speaking of these old events, their relationship is closer.

"Now Lin Mengjue is the Minister of the Ministry of officials. He has asked me for information about you, brother Xingfeng, many times. I hope I can help you."

The Minister of the Ministry of officials, in the Yan Ming Dynasty, was known as the heavenly official.

He was in charge of the appointment and removal of civil servants in Kyushu. As long as he said a word, any civil servant could be dismissed.

"Why did boyue mention it?" Li Xingfeng's eyes seemed to twinkle with tears.

Tan boyao said, "in those days, Grand Master Xu went too far. How could a top scholar be a master? Unfortunately, I dreamt that my official position was low and I couldn't talk at all."

"Even now, isn't it the same? Although you are the state shepherd and Lin Mengjue is the Minister of the Ministry of officials, you are all second-class officials of the imperial court, you still can't compare with grand master Xu."

The grand master is not a big official like the prime minister, but he is also a top-ranking official of the imperial court.

"That said, we don't want to see you so depressed, brother Xingfeng. I've discussed with Lin Shangshu. You'll be the head of the official department here first, from the third grade to a hundred years later... I've worked hard to carry you to the capital. What do you think?"

This is undoubtedly a big gift package for Li Xingfeng.

He used to be just a master. He usually obeyed the orders of the county magistrate, prefect and prefect. At this moment, Tan boyue was going to give him a commission as the head of the official department. How could he not be surprised.

From the official position of the third grade!

If Li Xingfeng stayed here for a few years, and no one restrained him when his father-in-law, Grand Master Xu, died, and with the help of his two brothers, he would certainly achieve second grade!

How many scholars dream of a high-ranking official standing above the imperial court and writing a memorial to the emperor?

Originally, Li Xingfeng was still drinking happily, but he always felt that something seemed wrong.

In an instant, Li Xingfeng woke up.

"Boyo, are you serious that you just want to help me and have no other purpose?"

Tan boyao said with a smile: "of course, if there is really any purpose, brother Xingfeng can understand that I am willing to make friends with young master Ling. There is nothing wrong with making friends with this big tree, young master Ling?"

At the moment, the cultivator sitting next to tamboyo seemed impatient.

"Lord Tan, what are you talking about? You might as well tell him the truth directly."
