Wanli became more and more displeased, and snorted coldly: "Not very old, but not small, you defend Guo Zhiyuan so much, you must know him very well, I have received a lot of impeachment of him, saying that he is entrenched in Dongfan, and there is no court in his eyes, you and I tell me, what kind of person is Guo Zhiyuan?" ……”

If Hong Chengchou directly helps Guo Zhiyuan to argue, it will only add Emperor Wanli's suspicion of Guo Zhiyuan, and at the same time, it is more likely to make Emperor Wanli angry with him, but Hong Chengchou doesn't want to say anything against his will, so he hesitated and said: "The teacher is respected, how can Weichen be qualified to evaluate the mountain chief, Weichen only knows that the mountain chief has always taught us to study for the rise of China, and engraved this sentence on the door of the academy for us to always remember......"

"Reading for the Rise of China?!" Emperor Wanli raised his eyebrows in a slightly surprised way, the concept of China in this era is still relatively vague, so Wanli also took it for granted that the China that Guo Zhiyuan said was the Ming Dynasty, Guo Zhiyuan actually took the phrase "studying for the rise of China" as the motto of Dongfan Academy, is it really that he misunderstood Guo Zhiyuan?

Thinking of this, Wanli's expression stretched a little more, and he said in a slow tone: "I have read your policy article, and it can be regarded as some insight, so let's go to the Hanlin Academy to experience it first......"

Generally speaking, after the palace examination, the first three people will be immediately conferred, the champion will be awarded to the Hanlin Academy for revision, and the Bangyan and Tanhua will be awarded to the Hanlin Academy for editing. If the second and third class jinshi want to be appointed to the official, they must also go through the court examination in the Baohe Palace, and the results of the examination before and after the comprehensive selection of the best to enter the Hanlin Academy as the Jishi, that is, the commonly known "point Hanlin". It can be said that being able to enter the Hanlin Academy is the dream of every scholar in this era, and it is also an important qualification to enter the official career.

Emperor Wanli let Hong Chengchou go directly to the Hanlin Academy, which is equivalent to having classified him into the first three people, indicating that he also has a love for Hong Chengchou, but he didn't expect Hong Chengchou to refuse without hesitation: "Qi Shengshang, Weichen is only shallow in learning, I am afraid it is difficult to be qualified for the position of Hanlin Academy, I beg the Holy Lord to give permission, let Weichen ...... released"

When Emperor Wanli heard this, a fine light flashed in his eyes, Hong Chengchou actually let go of the great opportunity to enter the Hanlin Academy, not to invite him to go out, it was really abnormal! If such a talent is only loyal to Guo Zhiyuan and cannot be used for himself, it will be too dangerous! Thinking of this, Emperor Wanli paused in his heart, and asked with a gloomy face, "Do you want to be released?" Then I'll let you go back to Dongfan to be an official, okay? ……”

Hong Chengchou felt a trace of murder from Emperor Wanli's words, knowing that Emperor Wanli was deliberately testing him, and couldn't help but sigh that the mountain chief was really a clever calculation, if it wasn't for the mountain chief to mention himself in advance, he would have been afraid that he had happily fallen into the trap of Emperor Wanli's temptation, and hurriedly said: "Weichen doesn't want to go back to Dongfan, there is a mountain in Dongfan, and it is useless for Weichen to go, Wechen heard that Shaanxi has been suffering from famine in recent years, and the homeless people are overflowing, so Wechen wants to implore the Holy Lord's permission to release Wechen to Shaanxi, Maybe Weichen can show his ambitions when he gets there, better serve the court, and share his worries for the saint! ……”

Emperor Wanli listened to Hong Chengchou's request to be released to Shaanxi and was stunned for a moment, in recent years, Shaanxi has asked the imperial court for disaster relief, and many local officials in Shaanxi have submitted their resignations to the imperial court to request their resignation and go home, it can be seen that the environment in Shaanxi is bad, this Hong Chengchou actually took the initiative to ask to go to Shaanxi to be an official? But it's okay to send Guo Zhiyuan's proud protégés to remote provinces to be officials, no matter whether they can make achievements or not, it will also weaken Guo Zhiyuan's strength, and it will not become a big trouble for the imperial court.

Thinking of this, Emperor Wanli lazily waved his hand and said: "It's rare that you are so loyal and willing to share your worries for me, so I will allow you to play, and the specific arrangements will be handled by the officials!" ……”

The Donglin Party members also wanted to take the opportunity to put eye drops on Guo Zhiyuan, and by the way to suppress the rest of the Dongfan scholars on the list, Emperor Wanli yawned, waved his hand impatiently, and said: "That's it, I'm a little tired, the results of this palace examination are decided by yourself, don't bother me anymore, retreat!" ……”

Encountering such a lazy and seriously ill emperor, everyone could only stare at each other, and reluctantly retreated, and finally Hong Chengchou was sent to Luochuan, Shaanxi Province as a magistrate, and the rest of the Dongfan scholars who passed the palace examination were also sent to Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangxi and other remote provinces to be officials.

Emperor Wanli and the Donglin Party did not expect that their behavior of thinking that they were weakening Guo Zhiyuan's power made Guo Zhiyuan, and these Dongfan scholars who were released were like tinder, bringing Dongfan's influence and Guo Zhiyuan's new ideas to all parts of the country, and gradually formed a strong grassroots ** official force, although Guo Zhiyuan's original intention was not to use this to form a gang, but this grassroots ** official force did later become Guo Zhiyuan's powerful help in the political arena, Let the Donglin Party grit its teeth and call it the "Dongfan Party"!

Through this palace examination, Dongfan Academy has also completely made a name in the country, among the ranks of the country's famous academies, not only the southeast coast, but also the scholars from the inland provinces have come from thousands of miles away, so that Guo Zhiyuan has to expand the scale of Dongfan Academy again and again, only in terms of scale, Dongfan Academy is already a well-deserved first academy in the country!

Three years and three years, in the blink of an eye, it was the tenth year that Guo Zhiyuan traveled to this time and space, not only the scale of Dongfan Academy has expanded, but the strength of Dongfan in all aspects is increasing day by day, in addition to the three cities of Beigang, Keelung, and Dayuan, Guo Zhiyuan has built two new port cities of Kaohsiung and Hualien, and once again emigrated 200,000 people from the inland, and initially opened up the land transportation between the north and south of Dongfan, and truly turned Dongfan into a treasure island suitable for human habitation!

Xu Xiake, who was sent by Guo Zhiyuan to look for minerals in the inland, lived up to his trust, and in a few years, he has helped Guo Zhiyuan find eight high-quality iron ores with large reserves, ten high-quality coal mines, and more than ten other metal deposits.

Originally, it was not easy to transport these mineral resources to Dongfan, but now Chen Zizhen, the governor of Fujian, has been completely pulled into the water by Guo Zhiyuan, the more greedy, the more bold, naturally it is to open the door for Dongfan, where to care about what is forbidden or not, plus the Fujian Mountain High Emperor is far away, the major forces in the DPRK and China are fighting more and more fiercely, they are busy fighting for power and profit, where to take care of it so far, but it provides a rare opportunity for Guo Zhiyuan to strengthen his own power!
