After this meaningful conversation, everyone knew His Majesty's thoughts and understood the meaning of these words.

To put it bluntly, they are still worried, they don't know how to make a choice. After all, this matter is too important, so His Majesty ordered it.

Seeing everyone's appearance, Zhu Youxiao nodded with a smile and said, "Then let's go and get busy, and see if there are a few students who have good grades in the exam today." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone said yes, and then went their separate ways.

There is no one else who can accompany Zhu Youxiao, only Xu Guangqi and Shen Tingyun are left. In addition, there is only one remaining person, Zhao Bingzhong, a waiter in the Ministry of Rites.

Zhao Bingzhong was deliberately left by Zhu Youxiao, and he had something to say to Zhao Bingzhong.

Regarding Zhao Bingzhong's appointment, in Zhu Youxiao's heart, he actually had a plan for a long time, but he had never encountered a suitable opportunity before, so Zhu Youxiao didn't move him.

But this time it's different, now there's a very suitable opportunity, a very suitable arrangement.

This time, Zhu Youxiao wanted to ask Zhao Bingzhong's opinion, so he said: "Did Zhao Aiqing ever want to change places?" ”

Zhu Youxiao had a sunny smile on his face, and his tone was also very gentle.

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, not only a few other people, but even Zhao Bingzhong was a little surprised.

But he wasn't stupid, and of course he knew how to answer at this time.

So Zhao Bingzhong took a step forward and said respectfully: "The minister is a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, a courtier of His Majesty, as long as His Majesty is in need, the minister can listen to His Majesty's arrangement." ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said with a smile: "Then go to the General Political Department and be a general political envoy." ”

Since he plans to reuse the Yamen of the General Administration Department, Zhu Youxiao naturally wants to choose the right person to take office.

It turns out that those people in the General Administration Department are basically useless for the elderly. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao is ready to dismiss them, and those who can be released will be released, and those who cannot be released will be transferred to some yamen to provide for the elderly.

And these newcomers, they are the backbone of the new yamen, and they are the guarantee for Zhu Youxiao to reuse the General Administration.

The first person in line is Zhao Bingzhong in front of him, and the other person is Mei Zhihuan, who he was going to use before.

After having Zhao Bingzhong and Mei Zhihuan, he can use the knife against the officials.

If you want to rectify officials, it has never been a simple matter, and someone must be able to fight without fear of death, regardless of the front and behind them, and dare to deal with corrupt officials and corrupt officials. No matter who you are afraid of.

In ancient times, there were very few such courtiers, and if there were such courtiers, if there was still righteousness in their hearts, they would eat less and less.

In the past, there might have been disciples of the Legalists who were willing to do this.

But today, there are not many people who have the integrity to do so.

This is the reason for the depravity of the mind.

There was a Hai Rui in the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately he was not reused,

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao is also regretting, if he has a Hai Rui in his hand, what a beautiful picture it is?

But now with Zhao Bingzhong and Mei Zhihuan, he also has two capable assistants.

So after appointing them, it's time to take action against the officials.

"I'm afraid it's very difficult, and it's hard to turn back after doing it."

Zhu Youxiao's eyes were a little inquiring, and he looked at Zhao Bingzhong and said, "So I want to ask you today." If you do, it's good; But if you don't want to do it, I won't be strong. ”

After listening to His Majesty's words, Zhao Bingzhong directly picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground, and said in a firm tone: "Please tell Your Majesty the truth." If the minister is willing, even if he fights for the minister's life, the minister must do it; If you feel that there is something wrong, the minister will also say it bluntly. ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded.

All he wants is to do it with all his might. If it's an errand, he can appoint anyone to do it, and it will only be counterproductive, so he won't just find anyone.

The kings of all dynasties and dynasties wanted to shoot at the officials. It's more about finding cool officials.

For example, Lai Junchen and Xu Jingzong in the Tang Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, there were more eunuchs and brocade guards.

Because there are too few people who are willing to do such things that offend people and don't have a good ending, and it is easier to use such a knife, once it is used up, you can throw it directly and kill the head to appease the anger of the people.

But Zhu Youxiao didn't want to do this.

What he wants is continuity of policy. Once the used knife is broken, then this policy is useless.

That's why Zhu Youxiao chose Zhao Bingzhong and Mei Zhihuan. Mei Zhihuan had already expressed his position before, and now it was Zhao Bingzhong's turn.

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "I am going to let you go to the General Administration." ”

After hearing this, Zhao Bingzhong said with some hesitation: "Go to the General Administration?" ”

Before that, when it came to the General Administration, everyone present knew what kind of yamen it was.

But this time it was obviously different, so they also understood another thing, that is, His Majesty was preparing to implement the secret music system.

"Yes, Secretary of the General Administration." Zhu Youxiao said gently: "I am going to put the secret music in the General Administration Division, and all the post stations in various places are under the jurisdiction of the General Administration Department. ”

"All the secret transmissions are all handled by the post station under the jurisdiction of the General Administration, and local officials and generals are not allowed to interfere."

"All the tantric recitals will be divided into grades, and they will be sent to the capital at different speeds according to different grades. After handing it over to the General Administration, all of them were sent directly to me. ”

Everyone present realized the determination in Zhu Youxiao's heart, but at the same time, they also felt that His Majesty's reputation might drop another notch, especially among the local governments.

According to His Majesty's words today, this is equivalent to tying a rope to everyone, and it is strange that they can be happy.

And while they are unhappy, they will not stand up and firmly oppose it from this direction, but will go in another direction to make ghosts.

For example, slandering the General Administration, saying that the General Administration Department is for His Majesty to supervise the world and blackmail the world's yamen, and the hat must be more ruthless than Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

In such a situation, the reputation of the General Administration Department will definitely not be good. In addition to this, His Majesty's reputation will definitely be damaged.

Coupled with the lack of public security caused some time ago, some people have begun to worry.

For example, Xu Guangqi and Shen Tingyun, they didn't expect Zhu Youxiao to be so direct.

Because before that, His Majesty did not do things like this. In the past, His Majesty liked to hide behind the scenes, using the contradictions between his courtiers to do these things; When there is no contradiction between the courtiers, His Majesty will also use one thing to provoke.

They are all old courtiers, and they are all scholars, so they are naturally no strangers to this set, this is the art of power.

But now, His Majesty has obviously changed the way of playing, which makes them a little happy and a little worried.

After all, they don't like emperors who play with power, and at the same time, they are worried that once His Majesty personally goes into battle, it may indicate that things cannot be changed.

Either His Majesty was forced to make concessions, or the courtiers passively accepted it.

However, if you want to be conceded by Your Majesty, the price you pay depends on the toughness of the emperor.

Obviously, His Majesty is not the kind of person who is good at retreating, and once he encounters strong resistance, His Majesty is afraid that he will directly swing his knife.

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Zhao Bingzhong hurriedly said, "The minister is willing to go." ”

These four words already mean everything. Zhao Bingzhong didn't say much.

Zhu Youxiao didn't continue to ask anything, just nodded and said, "Then let's go to the General Administration Department in a few days." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty Zhao Bingzhong agreed, and then stood up from the ground.

This matter is over for the time being.

In this regard, Zhu Youxiao's view is also very simple, the General Administration Department must develop and grow, and the first step is to start with the rectification of post stations all over the country.

The first knife Zhu Youxiao wanted to cut was the post station. Of course, he will not abolish the post station like Emperor Chongzhen, but will continue to strengthen it.

As a person from later generations, Zhu Youxiao always understands the importance of message delivery and logistics.

When the matter was discussed in the house, the exams outside were in full swing.

After Lu Xiangsheng took the exam paper, he quickly glanced at it, and then the expression on his face became strange. Not because it's too difficult, it's because it's too difficult.

At this level, let alone a lifter, an ordinary talent or a child, he can do it with his hands.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't expect the exam of the Royal Academy to be so simple, could it be that there is something hidden in it?

He quickly looked at it again and found that there were no pitfalls, but he didn't have time to think about what was wrong with it, so he picked up his pen and wrote quickly.

In another room not far away, Song Yingxing also saw the title. It's also a frown.

Is this topic so simple?

After taking a look, Song Yingxing also quickly answered.

Of course, there are also people who have a much lighter face when they see this topic.

Next door to Song Yingxing, a young man was instantly relieved when he saw such a topic, and sure enough, his opportunity came.

I hadn't thought about anything like this before, but this time I was really lucky.

This is a young man of about 20 years old, with a resolute face and a burly figure, and it can be seen that he is a practitioner.

He seemed a little clumsy when he held the pen, and obviously he didn't hold the pen all year round. Looking at the position of the calluses on his hands, he knew that this should be a martial artist.

So after waking up after seeing his appearance, many people began to show disdain for him.

The boy didn't care, and began to answer the question quickly.

The boy's hometown was originally Datong, Shanxi, but his livelihood over there was not good, and he originally left his hometown to go to Liaodong to join the army, but who would have thought that he would encounter such a thing in the capital?

After hearing about this, the boy decisively stayed.

Compared with going to Liaodong to join the army, entering the Royal Academy to study is undoubtedly another very good choice. So the teenager decisively came to sign up, and then decisively came to take the exam.

I thought the exam would be difficult, but who would have thought it would be so easy?

This made this teenager see the opportunity, how could he be unhappy in his heart?

As he wrote, he suddenly remembered something. It seems that the name is going to be written on the front of the test paper, but he actually forgot it!

So he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took the test paper and carefully wrote his name:

Cao Wenzhao.

After writing his name, Cao Wenzhao nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to answer the question.

At the same time, on the other side of Cao Wenzhao, there was a young man who felt similar to him.

This is also a teenager under 20 years old, and he has a very prominent feature on his face, which is a scar on the underside of the right eyelid.

This scar made his face look a little hideous, and judging from his appearance, this was also a martial artist.

Many people subconsciously avoided him when they saw him, and they didn't even dare to talk to him, or even look at him. It can be seen that this person looks vicious.

Unlike Cao Wenzhao, he wrote his name as soon as he got the test paper:

Wu Xiang.

After writing the name, Wu Xiang nodded with satisfaction, and then began to bow his head and answer.

Unlike Cao Wenzhao, Wu Xiang came to the capital to prepare for the martial arts examination next year. After knowing that there was such an opportunity as the Royal Academy, he naturally couldn't give it up or let it go, so he came to take the exam.

Originally, he also thought that the test questions would be very difficult, but after seeing the test questions, he was relieved.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao had already come out of the room, and he began to wander around the examination room, mainly to see the scholars and students here.

It's a pleasure to look at. The reason is also very simple, here is the hope of Daming, it is his own hope.

Whether you can do a big one, whether you can not be the king of the dead country, it depends on this one, and it depends on how many loyal talents can be produced here in the future!

Zhu Youxiao's mind couldn't help but see a figure, and he said out loud:

The end will be banned, and I am willing to go to the soup for the Cao family for generations!

How Zhu Youxiao hopes that someone can shout a sentence for him like this:

The last general, I am willing to go to the soup for your majesty for generations!

After turning around, Zhu Youxiao returned to the house.

Seeing that it was almost dark outside, I heard the sound of the bell ringing, and it was obviously time to hand in the papers.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said to Shen Tingyun: "Then I will leave, and I won't bother you here to correct the papers." After the results are obtained, they report to the palace. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shen Tingyun hurriedly agreed.

Zhu Youxiao left the examination room of the Royal Academy and prepared to go out for a walk.

It is impossible to return to the palace.

It's been so long, don't go out for a walk, I'm sorry for myself, and by the way, I'll bring some gifts to Queen Zhang.

After walking out of the door of the Royal Academy, Zhu Youxiao actually found an acquaintance.

The man seemed to see him as well, walked quickly in front of Zhu Youxiao, laughed and said, "Brother Bai Xian, are you also here to take the exam?" ”

"Brother Song." Zhu Youxiao also said with a smile: "The younger brother is not here to take the exam, the conditions at the younger brother's family do not allow it, and I came here today to join in the fun." ”
