Zhu Houzhao held the pen, did not write a word for a long time, and examined it with interest: "This palace will help you write it down, and you will give this palace ten taels of silver." ”

"Deal." Yan Chengjin did not hesitate.

Zhu Hou took care of him so happily, his face changed, and he immediately repented: "Actually, what this palace just wanted to say is 100,000 taels." ”

The corners of Yan Chengjin's mouth twitched slightly: "The minister is looking for Lord Wang, and Lord Wang will definitely not accept the money." ”

"Hongu writes! But you have to tell this palace, what is so special about Master Wang's and Master Zhang's manuscripts? Zhu Houzhao asked.

"The Four Books and Five Classics are too broad, and the minister guesses that the two examiners will come up with questions from them."

Yan Chengjin found out at the banquet when he listened to the ministers' lectures.

Ministers who have served as examiners in the imperial examinations have written questions that they are good at.

Like Cheng Mingzheng and Li Dongyang, the scholarship that they admired at the banquet was written into the exam questions.

This is like taking the postgraduate entrance examination for a doctorate, in-depth understanding of the boss you want to take the exam, seeing what books he has published, as well as key information such as previous exam questions.

The examination questions for the imperial examination are given by His Majesty and the two chief examiners, and there are not too many restrictions.

"Okay, Hongu wrote it to you."

Zhu Houzhao grabbed two pens, opened the bow left and right, and wrote very quickly with the pen on the paper.

Yan Chengjin was amazed: "I didn't expect that His Royal Highness still has such ability." ”

"Do you think that my father asked the palace to copy the "Emperor Ming Zuxun", how did the palace finish copying it?" Zhu Houzhao was very proud, and his father punished him for copying the emperor's ancestral teachings, so he wrote them with his left and right hands.

Originally, it was just for fun, but who would have thought that it could really be written.

……

In the evening, Kunning Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and looked at Xiao Jing on the side: "What about the prince?" Why haven't you come yet. ”

His Majesty came to dine with Niangniang today, and invited the prince, but he didn't see the prince coming, Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "The slave maid went to have a look." ”

After a while, Xiao Jing came back to report: "Your Highness said that he is not hungry, so he will not come, please Your Majesty and Niangniang use it slowly." ”

Emperor Hongzhi was slightly stunned: "Didn't you tell him that you added chicken legs today?" ”

Xiao Jing's face was embarrassed, and he said solemnly: "The slave said it, and His Highness said that the chicken legs would not come." ”

"What is Houzhao doing?" Empress Zhang knew her son's temperament, and she must be doing something "interesting", so she didn't think about it and didn't get into trouble.

"It seems to be reading, His Highness won't let me see it, and the slave doesn't know either." Xiao Jing said as if he was invited.

When the Forgotten Cub couple was fine, Emperor Hongzhi poured a glass of sake and asked, "How is the Queen Mother's health, I haven't been to Renshou Palace for a few days to ask for peace." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Queen Mother is in good health, and the concubine went to Renshou Palace to talk to the Queen Mother today." Empress Zhang was relieved.

Emperor Hongzhi took Empress Zhang's hand: "Fortunately, the Empress is miserable, I am busy with state affairs, and I ask the Empress to bother more." ”

His Majesty and Niangniang respect each other like guests, for more than ten years, when the prince is not there, there will be some "small actions", Xiao Jing is used to it.

The next morning, the sun was shining.

At the banquet in the Wenhua Palace, Liu Jian served as the keynote speaker, but he didn't see Zhu Houzhao, "What about His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

"The lower officials don't know." Adjutant said.

"Go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and ask Yan Chengjin."

Yan Chengjin was drinking wolfberry tea, and at this moment, the little eunuch came in and asked, "Does Lord Yan know where His Highness is?" ”

"I've gone to Liangxiang." Yan Chengjin didn't want to.

Zhu Houzhao went to Liangxiang eighty percent.

The day before yesterday, a leopard was brought into the Western Regions and kept in the Grand View Garden, which attracted many people to see it.

Fanshang brought goods from the Western Regions, mostly rare and exotic beasts, the eyes of the people of the Central Plains.

The Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce bought them and sold tickets through the tooth shop, which could earn a lot of silver.

I heard that the Zhang brothers also want to make a grand view garden in the capital.

Half an hour later,

Yan Chengjin came to Liangxiang in a carriage, the scholars on the street were discussing, and some people in the library openly sold exam questions.

"Zhu Houzhao sells exam questions for silver?"

Zhu Houzhao once said that he wanted to recruit troops and buy horses and personally recruit Dayan Khan.

To this end, I am happy to earn start-up capital.

For those who have given themselves the title of general, this seems to be a basic exercise, don't slip away.

Yan Chengjin came to the library and found Zhu Houzhao in the reading room, giving lectures to people.

Most of the scholars who listened to the lecture were people who had seen Zhu Houzhao's poems, and they knew that he was quite a good learner, so they were willing to take the time to listen to his lectures.

The word Yi Yi comes from the "Book of Rites", which refers to the imminent death of people.

Those who are well-being, there are traces of giving, and those who are for themselves are Hezhan, and there is a way to sow seeds, so the boy dares to divide the ten stems, and Mr. is not pulling out a hair, and pushing the rest to make up for it is also ......"

Yan Chengjin knew as soon as he heard it that this was the fuwen that Wang Hua had spoken.

A quarter of an hour later,

Zhu Houzhao finished his speech happily and looked at the scholars in the audience, "Let's talk about it here today, and those who want to hear it will come back tomorrow." ”

The scholars dispersed unsatisfied.

Eunuch Feng walked up with the silver in his hand and was happy: "Your Highness, you have earned one hundred and thirty-two taels of silver." ”

Zhu Houzhao squatted on the ground and counted, elated: "The Ming Japanese Palace asked Wang Busui to print it out and sell the exam questions." ”

Zhu Houzhao actually started to pay for knowledge?

It's really condescending to let you be the prince......

"Your Highness, the minister has something to ask for." Yan Chengjin continued: "If Your Majesty knows and remembers to say that it has nothing to do with this official. ”

"Father won't know."

"Be cautious."

"......" Zhu Houzhao.

……

GUO Zijian,

Zhou Fu saw many prisoners, holding the same test questions in their hands, and took a closer look: Qiu Yu exam question prediction, miss it and wait for another three years......

"What is this?"

The scholar's face was red to the root of his ears: "Back to the teacher, someone is betting on the question in the Liangxiang Library, and the student is afraid that he will really win, so he bought a copy." ”

Someone dares to bet on the question of Qiuqiu? Zhou Fu pondered for a moment and decided to expose it to the imperial court, such a person with ill intentions should let His Majesty issue a decree to kill the nine clans.

After writing the sparse music, he ordered someone to present it to the cabinet.

He decided to take a trip to Liangxiang to see who was so bold and dared to bet on the question of Qiuqiu.

Are you still ashamed to say that you missed another three years?

"There are as many cars and horses in this good country as there are in the capital." Zhou Fu sighed in his heart.

The groom said, "Master, this is the library." ”

Zhou Fu bowed down and got out of the carriage, and the library in front of him was even more magnificent than that of Guozijian.

There is a stone tablet in front of the door, on which are written two lines of poetry, the artistic conception is heroic, and it is amazing.

"Wash your hands before entering." The scribe who guarded the door stopped.

"Humph! Where is the gentleman who charged the question? ”

"The borrowing room over there."

Walking to the borrowing room angrily, Zhou Fu was a little stunned, isn't this the prince?

The prince has nothing to do to sell the topic, isn't this a pit for the old man!

Finished......

"Quick, go back...... Chase that sparse music! ”

……

Canopy Palace,

Emperor Hongzhi reviewed the sparse music here, and if he changed his place of work, he would be more happy physically and mentally, and there was a bunch of sparse music pressed on the imperial case.

"Autumn is approaching, Zhang Sheng and Wang Hua's exam questions are over, right?"

Xiao Jing reported: "It's over, and someone has been ordered to seal it." ”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, and at this time, the little eunuch presented an urgent letter, which Xiao Jing opened and handed to him.

Emperor Hongzhi saw that it was the sparse performance of Zhou Fu, the eunuch of the country.

"Does the Liangxiang Library have exam questions? Who is so bold! ”

Mu Bin, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes, expecting Ai Ai: "It's the prince......

The corners of Emperor Hongzhi's mouth twitched slightly, he took a deep breath, and then said angrily: "Mistaken son!" Prepare, I'm going to Liangxiang. ”

On the edge of the Forbidden City, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is on duty.

Yan Chengjin is reviewing the law of Da Ming.

Dai Shandi walked over and said worriedly: "Chengjin, we haven't come to the procuratorate for business for a long time."

If this continues, the six officials will say that we only eat food and don't do anything. ”
