Hua Zixu was very particular about choosing gifts.
This gift was good, but not too good.
That was great. He seemed to be too attentive and made people look down on him for no reason.
However, if it was too shabby, it would seem too deliberate.
You're already a High Scholar, so many people are eagerly giving you gifts, and you're showing your poverty at this time.
Do you think Ceng Bu is a fool?
Wu Song was rather surprised.
This Hua Zixu was really not ordinary. After all, he had been in Kaifeng Prefecture before, but he was also very familiar with the officialdom.
Wu Song still trusted Hua Zixu.
The two boxes were carried directly to the relay station where Zeng Bu was resting.
Wu Song was considered early, but it wasn't too early either. There were already people who wanted to pay him a visit.
However, they were all shut out by Zeng Bu.
This High Scholar was nothing in his eyes.
At the very least, you had to be a Jinshi for Ceng Bu to think highly of you.
If he wasn't even a Jinshi, Ceng Bu wouldn't even bat an eyelid.
A High Scholar was at most a Sixth Stage.
Jinshi was the key target of the country's training.
Even a High Scholar wanted to get close to him and was not even qualified. If he wanted to call him teacher, that was absolutely impossible.
To be precise, Zeng Bu was waiting.
Waiting for Wu Song!
This Enke was just a formality for Zeng Bu.
He had helped with the disaster relief and also presided over the scientific examination. It was not that he had not held a local scientific examination in the past, but that was at least thirty years ago.
If he were to preside over the examination, he would be in Kaifeng Prefecture.
The students who came to visit him and recognized him as their teacher were all Jinshi.
Zeng En was waiting.
Would Wu Song come?
Those who were ignorant and insensible would come over on their own initiative. These people knew how to curry favor with him, but unfortunately, they did not know his level. They rashly greeted him and wanted to build a relationship so that it would be convenient for them to do things in the officialdom in the future. This would make Zeng Bu look down on them.
He knew what level he was at, so he wouldn't pay a visit rashly. If one day he got a Jinshi, he would come back to pay a visit and reminisce about his old feelings. Even the Juren and Jinshi were fated with him, so Zeng Bu naturally had to take care of him.
There were also people like Wu Song.
He was the one who had personally chosen the Top Scorer.
This showed his attitude, that he thought highly of Wu Song.
At this time, if Wu Song knew what was good for him, he should come over.
If he felt that his level was not high enough and hastily paid his respects, then Ceng Bu would look down on Wu Song.
His attitude was so obvious, but he couldn't even feel it. Then, the intensity of his care would be weakened.
This was not because Zeng Bu was deliberately putting on airs, but because the feudal society had always been orderly.
He wanted to show that he was giving preferential treatment to the scholars of the world, but this was not something that a prime minister like him should show off.
You, as a prime minister, want to give preferential treatment to the scholars of the world. Then, what do you want me, the emperor, for?
All the scholars in the world should listen to the emperor.
You can give suggestions on what benefits to give, and then the emperor will give orders.
If the scholar got the credit, the credit should also go to the emperor.
Win over the hearts of the people!
This was something that only Tian Zi could do.
The emperor can win over scholars and win over people's hearts.
The prime minister did not agree.
If the prime minister did it, it would be called overstepping his authority.
The slightest carelessness could easily cause Tian Zi's dissatisfaction.
Now that Emperor Huizong of Song had just registered, it was time for him to be put in an important position. Zeng Bu was also an old fox who had been in the officialdom for many years. He also knew that there were many pairs of eyes watching him in the court. There were some things that he had to do. Naturally, he could not cross the line.
Otherwise, it would be a false accusation.
When Wu Song came over, there were already quite a number of people who had their doors closed.
"Master Top Scorer is here!“
It was unknown who saw Wu Song walking over. For a moment, everyone took the initiative to greet him.
"Top Scorer!"
"Master Top Scorer!"
Everyone came forward to bow, and Wu Song returned the greeting.
Even if this group of people were of the same age as him, he still had to use his connections.
"Master Top Scorer, Ceng Bu is the right prime minister!”" We want to pay our respects," a scholar said quickly." However, we haven't been able to!"”
"Oh?" Wu Song looked at the scholar and smiled.""Regardless of whether we have met or not, I naturally have to pay my respects to my teacher. This is etiquette.”
Then, Wu Song took out his name card and handed it to the guard.""Please inform Minister Zeng that student Wu Song is here to pay his respects!”
The guard smiled and slowly said,""So it's Master Top Scorer. Master Top Scorer, please wait a moment.”
"Thank you so much!"
Putting everything else aside, Wu Song had done enough of this courtesy.
"You're here?"
Zeng Bu was drinking tea when he saw the name card handed over by the doorman. He smiled and said,"Let him in!"
To be honest.
Zeng Bu was really curious.
Bringing the tiger into the city, the article was so majestic.
He was young and vigorous, not even twenty years old.
No matter which one it was, it was enough to make Zeng Bu pay attention to it.
There had never been a High Scholar who had piqued his interest like Wu Song.
"I really didn't expect that one day, a small High Scholar would actually be so valued.
Coming to Yanggu County could be considered an unexpected suffocation.
Even Zeng Bu himself felt that he was looking forward to it too much.
outside
The guard walked out and slowly said,"Duke Top Scorer, I have invited you!"
The moment these words were said, it actually caused many scholars to be stunned.
He never expected that Wu Song would be invited by Ceng Bu after everyone was rejected.
For a moment, they all had a feeling.
The difference between people was just that big.
Wu Song did not stand on ceremony. He lifted his leg and followed the guard into the station.
This group of scholars gathered together and discussed animatedly.
"What ability does this Wu Song have to be able to be summoned by Minister Ceng alone!”
"What do you mean by 'how can we do this?' We are just a small High Scholar who came to pay our respects to Minister Ceng. This is overstepping our boundaries, so it is normal for Minister Ceng not to see us. What a joke, I thought that Minister Ceng was presiding over the capital examination and might even be able to meet us!”
"Then Wu Song!"
"This Wu Song was personally selected by Zeng Bu, so he is naturally different from us. Forget it, let's go! Let's go! If he wanted to gain Minister Zeng's appreciation, he had to go back and study hard. In the future, when he passed the imperial examination, he would be able to gain Minister Zeng's favor!”
The group of scholars gathered together, but they also felt helpless and could only disperse one by one.
Wu Song also followed the door and entered the relay station.
