Came out of the wing room of Yahang, got into the carriage, and prepared to return to Beijing.

Zhu Houzhao's face was full of determination: "You know that scholar, why don't you want him to take the exam?" ”

"The minister has never thought about it like this, His Highness is too worried."

Although Yan Chengjin said so, Zhu Houzhao didn't believe it.

Where did Lao Gao care about the Inheritance Academy?

Coming from the palace, he felt that something was wrong.

Could it be that Yan Song is really a talent?

A green shadow rushed to the reins, tightening the reins, and the horse hurried to a halt beside the carriage.

Jin Yiwei turned over: "Lord Yan, Your Majesty has instructed that the scholar who entered Beijing to take the exam should not be appointed to the School of Science, misleading the future of others." ”

Your Majesty attaches great importance to the Wheel of Talents Ceremony.

For example, the students who are supervised by the country will select outstanding tribute students from the prefectures and counties.

Liangxiang College of Science collects children from peddlers and pawns and homeless officials, and the two have nothing to do with each other.

Yan Chengjin frowned slightly.

Yan Song was considered to be the most wronged person among the six traitors of the Ming Dynasty in later generations.

When he first entered the official career, he was upright, and even hated Liu Jin and Zhang Cai and other corrupt officials and eunuchs, complaining that Yang Tinghe controlled the government and was jealous of the virtuous and jealous.

Is the record in the history books correct?

Not necessarily, there is no shortage of people in the world who are both good and evil.

When Xu Jie's career first entered the official career, he was also a person who would rather die than break down, hating corrupt officials.

Dou Zhang Cong failed, was sentenced to death by the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and under some maneuvering, he was exiled to Fujian and regarded death as home.

But after becoming the first assistant, he still couldn't help being greedy.

After all, history books are only written by posterity, and Yan Song has been in power for decades, so he can beautify himself like Li Shimin.

In order to curry favor with Yan Song, the historian deliberately added or deleted deeds.

When Yan Song was young, it remains to be considered what his true temperament was.

If he was honest and honest as recorded in later generations, he would naturally not be obstructed.

If you step on the two boats of good and evil.

This person must not be an official, otherwise he will be harmed for a hundred years, and he will be the great enemy of the descendants of the Yan Mansion, and he must be deprived of the qualification for the imperial examination.

Back in the house, Yan Chengjin wrote and drew on paper, and in his heart, he hoped that Yan Song was a good official.

Humanity can't stand the test? But the humanity of the ancients? But it can stand the test.

They accepted Confucianism and dedicated themselves to the cause? Benevolent? Chaowen said, can you die at night? Follow the way of a gentleman, so? There are so many Qing officials who can endure humiliation.

The questions set are not difficult. If you can't even stand this test? Yan Song is really bad.

In the study, Zhu Houzhao walked around curiously, Lao Gao, this dog thing, rarely let him enter the study? Finally let him in today.

Organized bookshelves? It is an independent building, which is similar to the Wenhua Hall in the palace, but it is much smaller and has a complete collection of books.

There are also a lot of calligraphy and paintings, and there is also a picture of the river during the Qingming Festival.

Open a window? Outside, you can see a small green lake, and the scenery is excellent.

"Your Highness, can you do your minister a favor?"

Zhu Houzhao is wary of him? Although he regards Lao Gao as a brother, Lao Gao always tricks him: "You say it first? The main palace looks to see if you want to collect cash. ”

If he is beaten, he will be compensated with money.

Eager to try? I can't wait for the more dangerous things that Yan Chengjin entrusts, the better? In this way, it can be sky-high.

Yan Chengjin whispered a few words in Zhu Houzhao's ear.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened? Eyebrows fluttered: "Although it is not a real exam question, it will also anger my father, and the palace will charge you 10,000 taels, right?" ”

Northwest Yansui is about to fight.

It was urgent to recruit troops and horses, but he had only saved 50,000 taels of silver, and he could recruit and equip an elite team of 800 people.

There is still a gap of 50,000 taels of silver from the army of 10,000 people.

Yan Chengjin wanted to beat him to death: "Five thousand taels, if Your Highness doesn't do it, the minister will give up." ”

"Okay, you give the silver first."

……

Good Township, Library Pavilion.

The scholars are like the monks who listen to the presiding sermons in the temple, sitting upright, and the servants set up a high platform, as if they were going to sing.

Yan Song looked at others puzzled: "Have a drama to perform?" ”

"Lord Wang is going to give a lecture." The man squeezed the people around him, regardless of sitting on the ground.

After a short time, Wang Shouren, as usual, walked on the high platform and began to lecture on the study of the mind.

"The heart of right and wrong, knowing without filtering, and being able to learn without waiting to learn, is the conscience that is called. It is the nature of destiny, the essence of my mind, and the naturally enlightened one, who is also talking about ......"

Yan Song's face was solemn, he listened carefully, and he couldn't imagine that there were still people preaching and lecturing in the capital.

It's the first time I've heard of mind.

But this kind of doctrine is simply an insult to Zhu Xue, and it is seriously deviant from what he learned in the past.

If you don't listen to the reason for delaying your future like this, you can't listen to it.

Halfway through, he got up and wanted to leave.

From the halfway point, most of the people who listened to the lecture on psychology would react like this, and Wang Shouren asked knowingly: "Why did Brother Tai leave?" ”

"The mind taught by Lord Wang, I forgive the students for not agreeing, and I hope the adults will forgive me." Yan Song shook his head and left without looking back.

When I returned to the wing room of the tooth shop, I was stunned, and the bed had been emptied, as if it had been an empty bunk in the first place.

Yan Song was shocked, and hurriedly ran to ask the shopkeeper: "The shopkeeper, I paid the money below, why did I empty the bed and salute?" ”

Xie Yu raised his head and smiled: "There are many people who come to Liangxiang to read, so naturally the one with the highest price will get it." ”

Profiteer!

A basin of cold water poured down from the top of his head, and the desolation of the world swept over his mentality.

The inn in Liangxiang is in short supply, but he has already paid a month's rent, how can it be reasonable to drive people away.

"How much silver? Under the bid, can be higher than him! ”

It's not a matter of silver, who let you offend Master Zhang, Xie Yu also felt miserable: "Eight points of silver, stay for a day." ”

Yan Song's face was stiff, more expensive than the restaurants in the capital.

When I left the dental store with a bamboo box on my back, and then looked for a place to stay, I found that it was either full or too expensive to pay for the silver.

What's even more annoying is that when he went back to the Liangxiang Library to read books, the officials stopped him.

"Why can they get in and students can't?!"

"Your name is Yan Song?"

"Exactly! The students are law-abiding in the good township and have never broken the law, so why don't the adults let the students enter the building. ”

"That's right."

Yan Song realized something, staggered a few steps, and it was rumored that Liangxiang was a paradise for scholars, but he couldn't imagine that the world would be so dark.

The world is dark, deceive me Yan Song!

……

Fengtian Temple,

Emperor Hongzhi received the news from Liaodong, and the leader of Duoyan, Alqi, led his troops to the northwest, and there was not a single soldier in the territory.

Ma Wensheng was worried and hurried.

This shows that Andingbo's news is true.

Qin Hong's heart was overjoyed: "Your Majesty can send Wang Shi to the north to encircle and suppress the Tatars and Duoyan!" ”

The Ningxia border army engaged the Tatars head-on, and then sent the British Duke to attack from behind, and they were caught off guard.

Yan Chengjin frowned, Dayan Khan really married his daughter to Al Qi.

Dayan Khan didn't know how many armies he had integrated on the steppe, which was a variable, and he didn't expect it.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the urgent report: "If you send 60,000 people to the north, how much will you need to pay?" ”

Qin Hong glanced up at Han Wen, and saw that Han Wen did not answer: "Two hundred thousand taels, it should be enough." ”

Waste, more or less, is like feeding pigs.

If you feed too much, you will be strong and strong, and if you feed less, you will be dying, and there is no rule.

200,000 taels of silver, if you can't exterminate the Tartars, you will beat all the meat buns to the dogs, and there will be no return.

Soon, the British Duke Zhang Mao was summoned to the palace.

Emperor Hongzhi asked seriously: "If you send Guogong to the north, how sure are you that you will exterminate the Tatars?" ”

Zhang Mao was stunned, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, who can give the letter?

If you don't win the war, you will eat the military salary, and when you come back, you will be scolded to death by the civilian officials.

This group of dog civil officials love to fall into the well and shirk their responsibilities.

"The ministers are willing to charge for the court, and they dare not say big things to bully the king.

The minister is a martial artist, and he will not calculate the gains and losses like a civil official, so he cannot give His Majesty permission to speak. ”
