Chapter 59: The Palace Examination and the Opening of the Middle Law

Jia Hu said that he didn't ask, that was really not asking, and Hegui promised.

The uncle went to the study every day after inviting An, and he didn't pay attention to King Cheng and Prince Li, not to mention the grandson of King Beijing and the grandson of Niu Guogong.

Even on the day of the trial unveiling, the lord and his wife walked around in Rongxi Hall, the eldest lady embroidered a handkerchief and almost pierced her hand, and she simply didn't feel it, and the uncle still held a copy of "Zuo Biography" in his hand, turning a page for a while, turning a page for a while, and teasing the second master from time to time.

When the official messenger beat the gong and drum to report the good news, and the uncle won the Huiyuan, the lady was happy to be rewarded with a three-month price from the people in the house, and the lord ordered someone to load copper coins and sprinkle them on Ningrong Street, which was crowded with people watching the excitement.

The uncle listened, although he was also very happy, but Hegui saw him slip back to the study, and Steward Lin wanted to give him congratulations, and the uncle also called someone to stop him, only saying that it was not too late after the palace test.

Why is Hegui so clear? That "Zuo Biography", or the uncle sat for two quarters of an hour, and he couldn't sit still, and Hegui went to get it himself!

Recalling Yingsong's face when he ordered the errand, in fact, the people were just ordinary tones, and Hegui heard the schadenfreude from it.

Hegui was very aggrieved and frustrated, this feeling reached its peak when the uncle had difficulty leaving the house once, but only brought Yingsong and did not take him.

In the past, he followed the uncle, and Yingsong stayed in the house! Hegui bit the little handkerchief and cried in his heart.

He began to doubt his life.

No matter how Tsuru thinks about life, in short, the day of the temple test will come soon.

On April 21, the temple examination.

The palace test is in the Baohe Hall in the Forbidden City, and all the students enter the temple at dawn, go through roll call, scatter papers, praise, salute, and then issue policy questions.

The re-examination was also in the Bohol Palace, and it was because Jia Hu did not look around, he won the first place in the examination, and the seat was at the front. The court examination was personally invigilated by the saint, and the pressure of facing the saint was shared by the people before the ranking exam, and many people breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Jia Hu said that the emperor's throne is very far away from the main hall, and there is basically no pressure.

was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye.

The palace test lasted all day, and the paper was handed in at dusk, and the emperor sat on it, with a black head under his eyes, and he would also be aesthetically tired. No, less than half an hour later, as soon as Jia Hu's strategy began, he heard the sound of footsteps stopping behind him.

There is no doubt that it is the emperor, Jia Hu thought as he caught a glimpse of a yellow robe, his face expressionless.

The emperor is a middle-aged handsome uncle, with a handsome face, and he can't tell that his eldest son is about to be thirty. Of course, no one dared to look at the sky directly.

This handsome uncle is very troubled now.

Every prince wants the throne, and he himself came to the throne after killing all his brothers, and the emperor didn't expect his son to love each other. Who laughed and said in the end, I will pass the throne to whom, this is the concept that the emperor has always adhered to, for this reason, he parachuted several sons to the sixth, and he sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight.

As for how many princes teamed up to put him in the air? The emperor did not feel that his ambitious sons could resist the temptation to join forces with their rivals. He also has a hole card in his hand, which can only be mastered by those who sit in this position, and that is Tsing Yi Wei.

Unlike the Jinyi Guards on the surface, the Tsing Yi Guards are hidden in the shadows, only responsible for monitoring the emperor's sons and grandsons, reporting their every move to the emperor, and at the same time supervising each other with the Jinyi Guards to prevent them from being bribed.

The news that Tsing Yiwei recently brought to the emperor almost ruined his good mood.

The emperor sat on the throne, obviously looking at Jinke Shizi, but in fact, he had only one target, and that was Jia Hu.

Jia Hu, the son of Rong Guogong, is only seventeen years old, but he has done several major things one after another.

The shock brought by cement to the emperor has not yet calmed down, and the road construction has not yet seen results, but the water conservancy has learned that this year's spring flood in the Yellow River basin has not caused much loss; As soon as the new bookkeeping method came out, there were many fewer hands and feet on the books, and for the first time, the emperor clearly understood the origin and destination of the treasury money, and he was not afraid of being fooled by the people below; There are also jadeite and newly invented soaps from small countries in the southwest, Jia Hu borrowed the channels of the imperial court, and now they circulate in the north and south of the river, and hand over to the national treasury sixty percent, and in just a few months, he has obtained millions of silver, accounting for one percent of the treasury income.

If this was all there was to it, the emperor would only appreciate it, and he would not be troubled, and what bothered him was the news from his imperial uncle, the master of the Emperor who had become a monk in the Huangjue Temple.

He sighed silently, the important weapon of the country can make the Great Zhou prosperous for a hundred years, these are the words that the master handed to him in private. For this reason, on the second day of divination for Jia Hu, Master Ran sat down.

He looked at Jahu scrutinically. What is this person's ability that has not been shown?

He paced back and forth between the rows of seats in front of him, and finally stopped behind Jia Hu, bent down slightly, and read his answers.

To the emperor's surprise, Jia Hu wrote a good handwriting, and few people could write a thin gold body with charm.

The emperor originally thought that a person who could unite into a king and master Ran set up his parents, just not to marry a wife and have children, was either deep in mind or wild and uninhibited, and they all said words like their people, but Jia Hu's words were very different from his image in the emperor's heart.

Rules, sharpness, these are the two words that came to the emperor's heart after seeing Jia Hu's words.

Look at his article again.

At this glance, the emperor paused.

Jia Hu looked at the corner of his clothes out of his eyes, and felt that he had overestimated his psychological qualities. Can you imagine? It feels like Xi, Da, Da is behind him watching him write essays! He breathed deeply, deeply, a little loud and clear in the quiet hall.

He didn't dare to take a deep breath anymore.

Jahu wasn't nervous, he was just ...... Inexplicably ashamed, selling the knowledge of the future in front of the ancient monarchs or something.

He settled down, and soon entered a state of self-forgetfulness, as if he were engaged in every day's work.

The Emperor stood behind him the whole time, and left only a little at noon.

At dusk, Jia Hu withdrew under the emperor's burning eyes, and when he came out of the Baohe Palace, he only felt sweating profusely.

This time he had made a lot of money, Jia Hu thought to himself. There is only one question in the palace exam, salt politics.

Salt politics has always been a big problem, the historian has "the death of the Yuan Dynasty, the death of the salt politics disorder" said, the lessons of the past are in front of you, how can you not make the later kings of the Great Zhou frightened?

The Great Zhou Dynasty was established less than 100 years ago, the salt administration was based on the old Yuan system, and the law was still introduced, and the emperor had been worried for a long time.

Before the palace test, Jia Hu specially asked Lin Ruhai to ask him for the question, there are topics such as salt administration, water conservancy, supervision, etc., Jia Hu thought that Lin Ruhai was patrolling the history of salt in the book, so he couldn't help but ask two more questions, but he didn't expect Lin Ruhai to have a lot of opinions on salt politics at this time.

Therefore, as soon as he looked at this topic, Jia Hu had a bottom in his heart.

"Open the Chinese law", he wrote these three big characters in a dragon and a phoenix.

"Wonderful!" Master Guo, who was reading the paper, sighed and drew a circle on the paper.

The colleague on the side shook his head, drowsy, and said with a smile: "Master Guo, what volume is worthy of your constant sigh?" ”

Lord Guo is the eldest son of the previous elder surnamed Guo, and the official is a bachelor of Hanlin, and he is considered young among the examiners.

Hearing the sarcasm of the colleague, Mr. Guo was not angry, and only passed the answer sheet.

After a moment, the colleague couldn't help but exclaim, "This method is very feasible!" "He is from the household department, and the household department is in charge of the national salt administration, and he happens to be in charge of this part.

The other examiners were all alarmed, and they passed it one by one, and they all joined each other, and the file was soon presented to the emperor's case.

The emperor looked at it, the thin gold body, and the content was also very familiar, it was Jia Hu's part, which spent several large and small circles, count them, and the number of circles was exactly the number of marking officers.

With a stroke of the pen, he named him the champion.

The file was not sealed, but was placed in front of the case, and when a few cabinet scholars came, they motioned for the little eunuch to show it.

Hubu Shangshu had a bitter face, looking left and right, surrounded by several elders in the court, the coffee position was bigger than him, the seniority was older than him, and he was a young man sandwiched in it, not to mention how discordant.

Standing behind him, the waiter said, "Lord Shangshu, you are already old bacon, and we little fresh meat are really young."

Hubu Shangshu is forty-three years old this year, and the two waiters in Hubu are also in their thirties, which is really a group of shameless people. 【Quietly watch】

This answer sheet was finally passed to the hands of the household officials, and the household department was worthy of being professional, and at a glance he said, "The article is too shallow, so it is better to put this one," because the answer sheet was torn up, and I don't know who it was, so I skipped the name directly, "Call me to talk?" ”

The emperor shook his head and said, "Aiqing thinks this 'opening the Chinese method' is feasible?" ”

Tobe Shangshu pondered for a moment and said pertinently: "It is feasible." He also explained: "The opening method is essentially the same as the current citation system, but it is more perfect, and there are not many changes. What's more, this method can solve the urgent need for grain and grass in the frontier. ”

The problem of grain and grass for the soldiers in the frontier has always been a big problem for the households, and if the household department opens the emperor list to attract investment, and the grain merchants transport grain to the frontier in exchange for salt, it will save a lot of effort.

Many elders asked for this method.

Hubu Shangshu excitedly mentioned yì: "I don't know who wrote this article?" If you can come up with such a method, you must know Yan Zheng very well, and the minister implores the emperor to transfer this person to the household department! ”

The emperor said majestically: "I have my own decision. ”

After the head of the household department went back, he pondered it for a while, and found that the emperor meant this, as if he was not going to send people to the household department? I think it's impossible, if this kind of talent is not sent to the household department, will it stay in the Hanlin Courtyard and become moldy?

Hubu Shangshu looked forward to the stars and the moon, and when the current Kejin Shi was distributed, he found with a black face that no one came to report to Hubu. He was unwilling to find someone directly, but was stunned to find that the emperor had torn up the name of the answer sheet. This is, don't want others to know who it is?

Tobe Shoshu wisely remained silent.
