Chapter 194: Beating the Eunuch and the Entrance Exam

In the matter of Wang Gongchang, Zhu Youxiao really had no way to agree to Xu Guangqi.

It's not that he doesn't want to agree to Xu Guangqi, in fact, Zhu Youxiao also wants to do this very much, and it is even more urgent than Xu Guangqi.

But there are many things that you can't do if you want to, and Zhu Youxiao knows this very well in his heart, so he can only deal with it temporarily, and then go and do it himself.

If it doesn't work out, it won't be very embarrassing, because he didn't promise Xu Guangqi from the beginning; If the thing is done, then everyone will be happy, and there will be nothing to say at that time.

After listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Xu Guangqi hurriedly said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

After pondering for a moment, Xu Guangqi said with a resolute face: "Your Majesty, why don't you let the minister have an inscription?" ”

Glancing up at Xu Guangqi, Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao knew what Xu Guangqi meant by saying this, but how could Xu Guangqi be blamed for this matter?

You can't do that yourself. Therefore, it is impossible for Xu Guangqi to propose the allocation of Wang Gongchang, so he can only figure out a way by himself.

"There are more things in the cabinet, Aiqing will go back first." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said.

After Xu Guangqi heard this, although he was still very unwilling in his heart, he also showed a look of helplessness on his face.

He knew that since His Majesty said so, he had made up his mind not to let Lao Xu participate.

So Xu Guangqi stood up and bowed down and said, "In this way, the minister has retired." ”

Although there was some guilt in his heart, Xu Guangqi also knew that this matter was imperative, and there was no way to stop it.

The whole side of the Hundred Crafts was waiting for this matter, and this matter had restricted the development of the Hundred Crafts Academy, so Xu Guangqi came to the Qianqing Palace to mention it.

His Majesty agreed so happily, but it made Xu Guangqi a little embarrassed.

For Xu Guangqi, he knew how difficult it was to do this time, and he also knew that because of this matter, it might cause damage to His Majesty, but there was no way.

However, Xu Guangqi made up his mind in his heart, and after he went back, he would definitely urge the craftsmen of the Hundred Crafts Institute to speed up the progress and come up with results, and give His Majesty a long face.

Even if it is criticized for a while now, it doesn't matter, and when it really comes to the results, it will definitely be able to make His Majesty have a long face.

Looking at the back of Xu Guangqi leaving, Zhu Youxiao sighed helplessly.

How did this make them seem to be lazy, and these courtiers were so diligent?

However, Zhu Youxiao can also understand that Xu Guangqi, Shen Tingyun and others are all people who want to be on top.

On the one hand, they are for the Ming Dynasty, out of patriotism; On the other hand, it is for their own sake, they want to be officials.

Being an official and gaining power is one aspect; The other is the realization of self-worth.

They have read sage books since they were children, and they want to make a career, so they hold their breath in their hearts, they have been depressed more than they have been suppressed for many years, and now they suddenly burst out, and the power is really extraordinary.

Leaning on the couch, Zhu Youxiao pondered what to do.

Wang Gongchang has to do this matter by himself, but what should he do?

Run straight to it yourself?

It's not appropriate, I'm the emperor, I can't do that.

It just so happened that Chen Hong came back from outside.

Looking at Chen Hong, who was slightly sweating on his forehead, Zhu Youxiao's heart moved, beckoned to him, and said expressionlessly: "Go and find Wei Zhongxian." ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong's feet were a little soft, and he was so tired that he didn't drink a sip of water, but he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly agreed, and went to find Wei Zhongxian quickly.

Wei Zhongxian's life was not easy during this period of time, because Zhu Youxiao used Wang An, and Wei Zhongxian's status was lowered by one rank for no reason.

However, Zhu Youxiao was ready to let Wei Zhongxian do something, which could be regarded as the worst test. If Wei Zhongxian seriously continues to do things, then he can still use it, otherwise he can't use it.

In the eyes of an emperor, thunder, rain and dew are all heavenly graces, all your things are given by me, and you can take what I give you; What I don't give you, you can't even think about.

If Wei Zhongxian shows dissatisfaction because of this, then he can be removed.

"Grandpa Wei, the emperor summoned you." When Chen Hong ran to Dongchang, Wei Zhongxian was reprimanding Sun Yunhe in the black prison.

Seeing Chen Honglai, Wei Zhongxian was stunned, and suddenly reacted, the emperor summoned him!

Dongchang doesn't have anything to do now, the previous case has been dealt with almost enough, and Wei Zhongxian doesn't have to worry about some details and details, so he is relatively idle, and at the same time he is looking forward to having something to do.

Now that he heard the emperor summoning him, Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed and didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, so he quickly ran into the palace, and didn't let his emperor wait too long.

"Slaves and maids meet the emperor." As soon as Wei Zhongxian entered the main hall, he didn't see his own emperor, so he hurriedly kowtowed to the ground.

Looking at Wei Zhongxian, who was kneeling far away, Zhu Youxiao beckoned, "Come here." ”

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly walked forward for a while, and knelt on the ground with a thud.

Glancing at Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youxiao didn't let him get up, but said expressionlessly: "I have one thing for you to do." There seems to be some problems on Wang Gongchang's side, you ask Cui Chengxiu to go over and check, and if there is really a problem, go to the next question book. Tell Choi Chengxiu to be careful, if something goes wrong, this palace is the only one who asks. ”

Wei Zhongxian was startled, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Then the slave went to pass the word? ”

"Word to the word? Commands are more appropriate, right? Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Isn't he your person?" You are quite capable, and the ministers of this court can actually worship under your door, is it not that one day you will bring all the courtiers of my court over, and then you will be able to dominate the world? Or are you going to do something? ”

Zhu Youxiao's words scared Wei Zhongxian.

The emperor is saying that he is plotting against him, which is more serious than forming a party for personal gain. If it is really done, then it will be doomed, and Ling Chi will not be too much to execute.

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly lay on the ground and knocked his head one after another, and said in fear: "Emperor, the slave has no such heart!" ”

Seeing that Wei Zhongxian's head turned red, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Okay, keep your set and do a good job." Tell Cui Chengxiu that if the errand is messed up, the two of you will clean it up together. ”

"Yes, my lord, the slave must do a good job." Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said.

Seeing Zhu Youxiao waving his hand, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly stood up and walked out.

Walking outside the main hall, Wei Zhongxian covered his chest, where he was fluttering and jumping, and he almost scared him to death just now.

Inside the main hall, Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon chair, looking down at the empty hall from above.

Everything he did to Wei Zhongxian just now, to put it bluntly, was to beat him, and at the same time, he was also warning him and telling him not to go too far, just win over people like Cui Chengxiu, and don't intervene too deeply in the court, otherwise he will not have good fruit to eat.

Judging from Wei Zhongxian's performance, he also understood.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong and Fang Zhenghua beside him, and said in a cold voice: "You should also take this as a warning." Don't wait until I actually go to you, by then it'll be too late. ”

"Don't worry, the emperor understands." Chen Hong and Fang Zhenghua hurriedly bowed down and said.

Regardless of whether what they said was true or not, Zhu Youxiao stood up, moved his muscles and bones, turned around and walked outside.

Out of the door of the main hall, holding on to the railing, looking at the square in front of him, Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Take your time, take your time, get things done sooner or later.

Everything was running quietly, but there was a commotion outside the palace.

Because the Ministry of Rites issued a notice today about the enrollment of the Royal Academy.

The name of the academy is very straightforward, it is called the Royal Academy, which was founded by the Ministry of Rites.

This is not a strange thing, because this matter has been spread all over the world, and everyone knows about it.

The key is that there is an enrollment brochure under the Royal Academy, which makes many people unable to understand.

In the enrollment brochure, the origin of the student is specified in detail, that is, it must be a showman, and there are no other requirements. Applicants only need to be able to pass the entrance exam.

There is also a detailed introduction to the entrance exam.

The first thing to do is to register, and you have to go to the registration location designated by the Ministry of Rites to register. Once you've registered, you're ready to prepare for the exam.

If this alone were that, no one would be surprised to see it like this. It's that there are only three major items in the exam subjects above, namely the Four Books and Five Classics, Mathematics, and Martial Arts.

There is nothing strange about these three items, and the most strange thing is the scores of the three items.

According to the notice given by the Ministry of Rites, the ratings of these three items are actually the same, which means that each item is worth 100 points.

In such a situation, even people who are not good at the Four Books and the Five Classics can still take the exam, and even pass the exam.

Because in the qualifications of the examination, there are detailed supplementary terms, such as the students of the prison, the students of the Guozijian, and the children of officials of Enyin can participate.

It can be said that many people can take the Royal Academy exam. This clause has made many people incomprehensible and surprised.

Because under this clause, it is equivalent to the imperial court opening a door to civil officials for the children of nobles and relatives.

Although the children of Xungui and Xunqi are not good at learning the Four Books and Five Classics, they are not necessarily bad at learning martial arts. In this way, this clause reduces the advantage of the reader a lot, and harms their interests.

After being surprised and surprised, it was anger.

As a result, many scholars began to cry out, believing that this was insulting and defiling the way of the saints.

Now officials in the DPRK and China have also begun to write the script. As a result, the whole capital has presented a situation of wind and rain, mountains and rains, and the wind is full of buildings.

In an inn in the capital, three people sat at a table and drank.

Song Yingxing raised his head and looked at Zhang Yu, and asked expressionlessly, "Do you still insist on your own opinion now?" You go and look at that notice, that notice is clearly written on it, the Royal Academy is inclusive, and naturally it can accommodate us. ”

Glancing at Song Yingxing, Zhang Yu said with a smile: "Then you have to look at their exam questions to know." ”

Then Zhang Yu said: "But we should be able to pass the test, after all, we are still proficient in arithmetic." ”

Zhang Yu is humble in these words, and among the three of them, Zhang Yu is the best at arithmetic.

Song Yingxing is also good at this, and the only thing that is almost close is that his brother Song Yingsheng is born.
