Song Yingxing and the three of them knew very well in their hearts that under such conditions, the matter of being admitted to the Royal Academy was beneficial to the three of them, and no one could deny it.

However, not all places are beneficial.

Song Yingxing glanced at Zhang Yu, his eyes were as heavy as a torch, and he said in an unusually resolute tone: "Although we have not been admitted to the Jinshi several times, we will definitely be able to enter the academy this time." ”

"As long as we are allowed to enter the academy, we will be able to promote our scholarship together, let more people in the world know about our Guanxue, and let Guanxue become a prominent school in the world."

This time Zhang Yu didn't say anything, because this was not only Song Yingxing's ideal, but also his and Song Yingsheng's ideal.

Although this ideal may not be realized, the three of them have been working hard for it. Zhang Yu didn't really want to hit Song Yingxing, so he still had to support when he should express his support.

"But there's one thing I don't quite understand, how to take this martial arts test?" Zhang Yu asked with some confusion.

None of the Song brothers spoke.

"Is it to test the art of war?" Zhang Yu looked at the two of them and asked the doubts in his heart.

The three of them glanced at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Song Yingsheng.

In terms of the art of war, Song Yingsheng is better at it, but neither Song Yingxing nor Zhang Yu can do it. So both of them wanted to hear Song Yingsheng's opinion.

"If it's just an art of war, how can it be called martial arts?" Song Yingsheng said with a frown.

"Since it's called martial arts, then we should be able to take the bow horse riding and archery test, which is probably not easy for us. As you all know, we're not going to be able to do it. Song Yingsheng said calmly.

Song Yingxing and Zhang Yu both nodded when they heard this.

The two of them have to admit that although they are not dead scholars, they are not good at archery and horse archery.

The six arts of the gentleman are basically a joke by now, which makes the three of them a little embarrassed, and it seems that they are still not in place.

"Find a time to practice, at least don't lose someone during the exam, it doesn't matter if you get a high score or not." Zhang Yu glanced at the two of them and then said: "Since this time it is a three-year test, it is impossible for anyone to be good at all of them, and it is already good to be good at two." So we still have a lot of hope. ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and they reached an agreement.

Although the court is disturbed, all kinds of people say all kinds of things, and there are all kinds of situations, but there is one thing that no one can change, that is, the things set by the court are all being implemented, and no one can stop them.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already chosen the address, and the sign of the yamen has been put up. Tai Kangbo went to the Internal Affairs Office every day to order, and Wang An of the palace also came out.

Originally scattered powers began to be reined in. For example, the business of the original Eighth Bureau outside the palace, and other parts of the palace have been listed under Wang An's name.

This is a preliminary integration, although there are some changes in personnel, but most of them are still the original old people. It's just that the work and work are very fast, and no one dares to cheat and play tricks.

Founder has already begun to compile a new list of personnel. In such a situation, everyone knew that this was an opportunity. Once you can do something, then you may be promoted.

Of course, opportunities also represent dangers, and if you don't do well, you will be eliminated, so everyone works harder.

The business outside the palace also began to be assigned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, such as Huangzhuang, and some factories like the Blue Indigo Factory.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is growing rapidly, but it will take some time for the outside world to do so.

Under such circumstances, the Cabinet has also come up with a list of recommended ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The names on the list recommended by the cabinet really didn't make Zhu Youxiao expect.

Looking at the names of several people on the list in his hand, Zhu Youxiao hesitated.

How could it be him?

Although there are a few people recommended by the cabinet, this is not the case, because the first one is the one that the cabinet supports the most. In many cases, several other people are accompanied.

Of course, it is also possible that Zhu Youxiao does not like the person in the first place, so the cabinet will choose to change people. But the person in first place still represents the attitude of the cabinet.

Zhu Youxiao really didn't expect that he would be the person recommended by the cabinet to be ranked first, and this person is Zhu Tongmeng.

Zhu Youxiao didn't expect it this time anyway. The people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate themselves knew something, and they originally thought that even if it wasn't Choi Chengxiu, someone else would come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be a minister.

But Zhu Tongmeng has never been in Zhu Youxiao's choice. Why would the cabinet support him?

But Zhu Tongmeng is actually quite interesting. The first person to oppose the Donglin Party and lectures was actually this Zhu Tongmeng, who also opposed Donglin Academy.

Zhu Youxiao's gaze swept over the faces of the four cabinet scholars, and seeing the appearance of all their old gods, Zhu Youxiao knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to ask anything, and these old guys would not say anything.

Putting down the list in his hand, Zhu Youxiao said expressionlessly: "Then let him come, just choose Zhu Tongmeng." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The four cabinet members said yes, and then took their leave.

Looking at the backs of the four people, Zhu Youxiao hesitated.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao thought that there would be a certain conflict in the cabinet, because the four people were likely to support different people; But in the end, I didn't expect that these four people reached a consensus very happily.

Turning his head to look at Chen Hong, who was standing not far away, Zhu Youxiao beckoned to him.

Quickly coming to Zhu Youxiao's face, Chen Hong bowed down and said, "Emperor." ”

"You go and ask and see how this list was made." With that, Zhu Youxiao handed the list in his hand to Chen Hong, and then turned around and walked back.

Zhu Tongmeng's candidate is not unacceptable, but Zhu Youxiao wants to figure out this matter. If you don't figure things out, your heart will not be steady.

Sitting on the chair, Zhu Youxiao looked at the empty hall with an expressionless face, and finally smiled self-deprecatingly.

People say that the emperor is suspicious, and Zhu Youxiao felt that it was too much in his previous life, but now he has also contracted this problem, and he can't figure out anything.

Sighing softly, Zhu Youxiao said helplessly: "There are too many people in this world who want to deceive me. ”

In the capital, the biggest storm is naturally the matter of the academy.

After a lot of arguments and opposition, many people found it useless and started to prevent people from taking exams.

This trend is stronger among readers. However, there are also people who do not believe in evil, such as those who study Guanxue, or people from other elementary schools.

This time, the rise of Chen Kedao's Taizhou School was regarded as a hope by many schools, so they were ready to try their luck at the academy, what if they succeeded?

Is that the ability to make one's school a manifest school?

So they didn't bother with those who blocked the college exams.

Of course, not everyone goes with this idea, and more people want to do things.

Many of them came from the families of various military generals, and some came from the families of nobles and relatives.

They don't care about what the people outside say, all they want is to go to the academy.

This group of people is a special kind of people, and one of them is being dissuaded.

"Jiandou, this time it is clear that it is the people in the DPRK and China who are engaged in party disputes. Why are you involved? ”

"How is it, each of us knows that the big case of the imperial court a few days ago was not the ghost they did? Look at those people who came to power after they fell? ”

"It's Xu Guangqi! Shen Tingyun! What does this mean? It shows that this Royal Academy is not so simple, this is their own people using the Royal Academy. The people who attacked Donglin Lecture and Academy before must also be their people. ”

"They want to use the Royal Academy to train their own people, and at the same time crack down on other officials in the court to prevent them from cultivating talents. This is a complete partisanship, and we really don't need to step into it now! ”

"With your knowledge, it's not difficult to get a Jinshi. At that time, the imperial court will naturally send you officials, and you can go to the local office. Why bother wading into this troubled water? ”

"You must know that you have been admitted to the Royal Academy now, then you can't wash off the traces of the Royal Academy in this life, and you can't wash off the fact that you are Xu Guangqi and Shen Tingyun. You may not be convinced, but it's true. ”

"These people seem to be powerful, but there are not many of them, if you really come out of the Royal Academy and go somewhere else, I'm afraid you won't be able to move an inch."

The person known as Jiandou was a young man, he raised his head to look at the person who spoke, and said slowly, "But don't you think the Royal Academy is more suitable for me?" You see what they tested this time, the Four Books and Five Classics, arithmetic, and martial arts. ”

"I am a lifting person, there is definitely no problem with the Four Books and Five Classics, you all said that I have no problem with being admitted to the Jinshi, so you also believe that I have no problem in this regard. I'm not going to be the best, but I'm certainly not the worst. ”

"Arithmetic, I've studied it over the years, and you know how good my arithmetic is. Martial arts, from childhood to adulthood, bows, knives, stones, horses, and arrows, what am I missing? Since I was a child, I liked to practice martial arts, so that one day I could serve the country. ”

"Although the Royal Academy is a new thing, it was made by Shen Tingyun and them, but it is a road. All three combined, I'm going to be at the top, and that's my chance. ”

"If I can do it, I, Lu Xiangsheng, will definitely be able to become famous all over the world! Maybe I'll be able to get the first place in the exam, and even Your Majesty will be shocked when the time comes! Even if I don't do well in the exam this time, if I can achieve the top ranking, I will still be able to participate in the imperial examination. ”

"And you also said that it is Xu Guangqi and Shen Tingyun who are in power now, how do you know that the next imperial examination will not be their person as the chief examiner? You won't be able to escape when the time comes. Instead of that, why don't you go to the Royal Academy and give it a try now. ”

In the end, Lu Xiangsheng looked at the man, smiled mildly and said, "Liu Xian, I know your ability, let's go and try it with me." ”

The man known as Liu Xian looked at Lu Xiangsheng, shook his head with a helpless wry smile for a while, and said, "I, Liu Runeng, will be killed by you sooner or later." Okay, I'll go with you! ”
