Although Zhang Yongming is the imperial history of Zuodu, Dong Fen is a servant of the Ministry of Zuo who wears a python suit, and he has won the favor of the emperor, so he naturally has no qualifications to follow Dong Fen. What's more, he and Dong Fen are both from Wucheng County, Zhejiang, and the two have a good relationship in private.

Guo Pu said lightly: "There is an old saying: jade can't be cut without a weapon!" If Ningjiang is really talented, it would be a good thing to go to the place to temper it! Yang Shangshu is good at military affairs, and he is also the mainstay of my Ming Dynasty from local experience! ”

Tang Xingde, the head of Henan Province, had disdain in his eyes, not questioning the importance of Yang Bo, but thinking that Guo Pu's words were simply a fart. If the place where you are degraded is an experience, then how can your henchmen be praised, and no one has been trained.

As soon as he thought of this, although he didn't dare to fight out loud, he looked at Dong Fen, the left servant of the ministry, hopefully.

Dong Fen faced his boss Guo Pu, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, but he arched his hand towards Guo Pu and said: "What Guo Shangshu said is extremely true, it is the lower officials who are not thoughtful, please Haihan!" ”

Tang Xingde, the head of Henan Province, couldn't help but sigh lightly when he saw this scene. Since Yan Song, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty has become more and more muddy, and it is no longer thinking about how to appoint talents to improve the country, but considering its own interests and party henchmen.

After Ning Jiang left the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, he came out of Dongjiang Rice Lane and went directly to a nearby teahouse. When I got to the private room on the second floor, I saw Lin Haoran sitting in front of the desk and drinking tea with a calm expression.

Lin Haoran was not wearing an official uniform, but a scholar's outfit, but sneaked to this teahouse. Seeing Ning Jiang come in from outside, he brought him a cup of tea.

Ning Jiang sat down cross-legged in front of the desk, picked up the teacup and blew sharply, regardless of whether it was hot or not, even if it was drunk all.

"What test language did Guo Pu give you?"

Lin Haoran was originally a person who was good at observing faces, and he was an old acquaintance with Jiang Ning, so even if he guessed that there would be no good news, he asked directly.

Ning Jiang put down the teacup and spit out two words angrily: "Impetuous!" ”

"Impetuous?"

Lin Haoran was about to add tea to Ning Jiang, but when he heard this test, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, looked up at the indignant Ning Jiang, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Although Ning Jiang has a strong temperament, he is an official with military talents. On the contrary, Guo Pu refused to let go of such an excellent official, and chose to suppress Ning Jiang like this.

"Senior brother, what should I do now?" After drinking the tea, Ning Jiang suddenly felt a lot more relieved, and looked up at Lin Haoran with hope and asked.

Lin Haoran's eyes were full of worry, he turned his head to look at the blue sky outside the window, slowly shook his head and sighed: "People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, there is nothing to be done at the moment!" ”

In fact, Guo Pu now holds great power in his hands, and he already has the power to kill and kill them. In order to force their teacher Wu Shan to comply, he naturally won't show too much mercy.

By noon, Jingcha was halfway through the review.

Xiao Jinian and others' examination language was released, except for Yang Futian, Long Chizhong and Wei Shiliang, who were medium-grade, everyone else had received an inferior evaluation, and they were already going to be sent out to be officials.

Zhou Youqing, the head of the Ministry of Officials, was the worst, he had dealings with the Yan Mansion in the past, and it seemed that he was treated specially. If he is unscrupulous, he will be directly dismissed from his post as a rule.

Of course, it is not completely hopeless that things have come to this point, in fact, there are still certain variables.

Next, the imperial court will carry out the "picking up" link, and there is still some hope for "escape" in this link. In addition, it must be submitted to the Cabinet, which also has the power to veto.

It's just that no matter what, their current situation is very bad, and it has reached the point where they need to sacrifice Wu Shan to improve their situation.

However, the world is impermanent, and the turning point may be inadvertent.

Just as everyone gathered in the private room to lament, the dusty iron pillar strode in from the outside, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he came to Lin Haoran and respectfully arched his hand: "My lord, here you are!" ”

Xiao Jinian and the others didn't know why, and turned their heads to look at Lin Haoran in confusion, and Lin Haoran raised his head to drink the tea in the cup, and said happily: "It's just the right time!" ”

Shen Shi has just arrived, and the officials are in the yamen.

Guo Pu and the others only smoked half a pillar of incense, and simply dealt with a few mouthfuls of lunch, that is, they continued to preside over the Beijing inspection plan and gave these officials in the capital a different fate.

Guo Pu is tired and happy, many people are grateful to him, and those who are rated inferior are usually afraid to be angry, so that he enjoys this feeling of dominating the fate of others.

Guo Pu and the others were about to meet the next official who was waiting for the exam, but they didn't see the official coming from the gate for a long time, but a eunuch led two young eunuchs here.

"Grandpa Chen?"

Dong Fen saw that it was the factory supervisor of the East Factory who appeared here, and he couldn't help but show a puzzled expression on his face.

Chen Hong walked directly to the hall and stood still, holding a whisk in his hand, and said in a deep voice to Guo Pu and others: "The emperor's message!" ”

When Guo Pu and the others heard these four words, they hurriedly left their seats, but they let Chen Hong stand in the north, and they stood in front of Chen Hong and made a gesture to bow down.

Chen Hong stopped him by saying, "You don't need to kneel down!" Spread the emperor's edict, Guo Shangshu immediately entered the palace to face the saint! ”

Summoned by the emperor?

When Dong Fen and the others heard this message, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Guo Pu, wanting to see some clues from Guo Pu's face.

Hey?

Guo Pu looked confused, with a puzzled expression on his face, and he was already inexplicable by this sudden message.

Jingcha is undoubtedly an extremely important thing for the Ming Dynasty, especially this six-year session, which has always been extremely grand. It's just that I don't know what happened, the emperor actually asked him to put aside such an important Jingcha plan in his hand and let him go to the palace immediately.

There are not many officials who have not given the examination language, as long as they don't delay too much time when they go to the palace, they will be able to complete the next Beijing inspection work when they come back.

Guo Pu immediately agreed, and followed Chen Hong towards the gate, but he couldn't help but inquire: "Gonggong Chen, I don't know what the emperor is looking for this official?" ”

"The miscellaneous family doesn't know about this, but the emperor is in a hurry, and now he is waiting? Lord Guo, you better hurry up, you will naturally know when you see the emperor! Chen Hong urged.

Guo Pu looked at Chen Hong tight-lagged, his brows furrowed slightly, but it was impossible for him to pry Chen Hong's mouth open, and he could obediently follow Chen Hong to the palace.

Zhang Yongming and Dong Fen saw that Guo Pu was summoned into the palace, and this Jingcha was naturally suspended. The two also glanced at each other, but shook their heads gently, no one knew which one the emperor sang this time.
