Chapter 943: Exposed

The next day, Zhao Yu got the answer, and after asking the Queen Mother for peace, Su Lan invited the queen and several ladies back to Zhiyuan Hall, and he also understood that this was all a teacher for himself. Looking at a few people, maybe even Chen Shu, who doesn't like to read the most, reads more than herself, not to mention the queen and a few other people. But it's embarrassing enough to let your wife be a teacher, fortunately, she didn't lose it outside, but she lost it all at home, which made me how to raise my head in front of my wives in the future.

"It's a little too small here, let's go to the pavilion outside!" The area of Zhiyuan Hall is not large, except for the wives, there are also attendants who follow, sitting in the tea room looks very cramped, so he proposed,

"Well, that's fine. Today's weather is a bit gloomy, and the hall is also sweltering! Wu Xi nodded.

"In this way, the slave maid will arrange the pavilion on all sides, and the officials and ladies will move to the pavilion later!" Su Lan said with a slight salute.

"Good, good!" Zhao Yu stared at Su Lan and said hatefully. You must know that in this way, you might as well spend some effort to 'self-study' and get such a room of people to make yourself visible.

"Slave and maid obey!" Su Lan didn't see it, and retreated with a forked hand, leading people to set up the venue.

"The official, just let the concubines sit like this, and they don't even have a cup of tea, isn't it a loss of hospitality!" Seeing so many people staring at each other, Chen Shu broke the silence and disgusted tunnel.

"Hehe, are you guests? Where is there so much etiquette at home, if you want to drink tea and pour it yourself, what do you want to eat and let the dining room prepare, do you want me to pour you tea? Zhao Hao crooked his neck and smiled.

"Is it because the official family was reprimanded by the master again, and there is nowhere to spread the evil fire?" Chen Shu also tilted her head and said.

"Guifei, why was the official family reprimanded again?" As soon as his voice fell, Li Sanniang asked anxiously.

"It's not the official family who insists on going to the sea to intercept the Goryeo navy, but he was stopped by Governor Ying and Governor Jiang, and the Queen Mother wants us to take a good look at the official family and don't let him sneak out again!" Chen Shuyan said.

"The official family is different from the past, and we must no longer be willful!" Wu Xi also hurriedly persuaded when he heard this.

"Men should go to war, and cowards will die of old age!" Li Sanniang didn't think so, and glanced at them.

"Yes, Sanniang is right, a man who has not been on the battlefield is not a real man!" Zhao Yu pulled Li Sanniang and asked her to sit beside him, holding her waist with her hand and saying with a smile.

"Official, don't ...... like this" Li Sanniang struggled twice to get rid of the little emperor, and said with a red face.

"The official family is going to elope with Concubine Shu, leave me and wait!" Seeing this, Chen Shu said with a grudge on her face.

"How could the official family be willing to elope with a concubine like a flower, even if they leave, they will take you with them!" Wu Xi patted Chen Shu comfortingly.

"Will the official family really run away from the palace?" Concubine Chen Wang Yu asked quietly beside her.

"Of course, the official family has been like this since childhood, and as long as they are not happy, they will slip out of the palace. Oh, when he was in Guangzhou, the official family escaped everyone and slipped out of the palace, provoking Governor Ying and others to lead a search in the city before they found him back! Chen Shu glanced at the little emperor and said.

"Nonsense, it's obvious that I went back by myself, and it's not as lively as you say!" Zhao Yu glared back and said.

"The official family deceived people, at that time I was accompanying my father to recuperate in the Shuai Mansion, I saw it with my own eyes, and I can't be wrong." Chen Shu said without showing weakness.

"Hmph, you were forcibly sent home by Chen Shangshu because of repeated threats to me at that time, how could you see it!" How could Zhao Yu admit defeat and snort coldly.

"I ...... I'm just going to see you! Chen Shu stiffened her neck and said without showing weakness.

"Concubine, there are soldiers inside and outside this palace city, and there are guard battalions that follow from time to time, and the official family goes out, how can they not know?" Wang Yu still felt incredible and asked curiously.

"Don't mention the guards." Chen Shu said helplessly, "Commander Ni of the Protector Army is the official family who let his own head cut off at the moment, and he will not have a second word; The previous Chen Dun was even more bad, it would be good if he didn't instigate the official family; And the newcomer Xiao Tanzi looks honest, but he has also followed the official family since he was a child, so he will never go west to the east. Think about it, if the official family wants to go out, they will naturally hide it for him, and even assist the official family to get out of the palace, how can they dissuade it! ”

"Huh?! If the official family wants to leave, won't anyone be able to stop him! Wang Yu said with a sad face when she heard this.

"So Sister Lei must take care of the key to the treasury, and don't let the official family get the money, otherwise he will really be gone!" Chen Shu turned to Lei Yan and said.

"Guifei, I can't do it!" Lei Yan waved her hand again and again, "You don't know how big the official family's business is outside, and you don't need to use a penny of the palace treasury at all!" ”

"Oh, how much money can the official family have?" Several people looked at Lei Yandao.

"Two days ago, the owner of the village sent more than 600,000 yuan, saying that it was a month's income from running a post house. I only learned that all the post houses in Jiangnan are invested and managed by the government, and I won't worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation wherever I go! Lei Yan said, "And the head of the village also said that the fleet going to Goryeo and Japan will return in two days, and at least five million pieces of silver will be put into storage, and the profit from the Nanyang fleet coming back from trafficking spices in July will be more than ten times." ”

"Official, how many ships are there in the fleet?" Zhang Ping couldn't help but ask at this time.

"There are probably a thousand or a few hundred of them, I don't remember exactly! Anyway, a batch of warships captured last year were almost rotten in the harbor, and no one wanted them, so I bought them all and started some small business to supplement my family! Zhao Yu looked at a pair of sparkling eyes staring at him, secretly happy in his heart, and said with a look of indifference.

"The official family is so rich, but he still has to pretend to be poor, I actually believe it when I deceive it, and I stupidly save money to supplement the official family!" Chen Shu said angrily after hearing this.

"Concubine, but the official family does use very little for themselves, and almost all of them are used for state affairs, which does not deceive us!" Seeing this, Lei Yan hurriedly got up and grabbed Chen Shuyan, who wanted to pounce.

"You leaked all my family information today, you really deserve to be beaten!" Zhao Yu reached out and slapped Lei Yan's buttocks.

"The official family atonements, and the concubines don't know how to keep it secret!" In front of everyone, His Majesty made such an ambiguous move, which made Lei Yan a little flustered, and said with a red face.

"From today onwards, how much money is in the treasury must not be leaked to the outside, otherwise not a penny will be guaranteed, and those foreign ministers will change the way to empty the money in the treasury, remember!" Zhao Yu said solemnly. But his heart was also moved, secretly saying how he became so 'lustful', and actually 'teased' the little girl in front of so many people, but then he thought that he was obviously his wife, so what did it matter if he touched it!

"The concubine understands!" Lei Yan hurriedly saluted.

"Recently, the head of the village will assist you in exchanging the money in the treasury into gold and silver, and after that, all kinds of expenses should be more copper coins and salt banknotes to reduce the outflow of gold and silver!" Zhao Hao admonished again.

"The concubine obeys!"

"Okay, it's good that the things in the palace are clear to your family, don't say it casually, otherwise it will be trouble, or even a bane!" Zhao Yu raised his hand to let him salute.

"Having said so much, if the official family wants to sneak out of the palace, we still have no choice!" Wang Yu frowned inappropriately on the side and said, he hadn't forgotten this thing.

"Easy to do! From today on, our sisters will take turns in Zhiyuan Hall every day, always keeping an eye on the official family to see how they still sneak away. Chen Shu said with a straight face, but as soon as she spoke, she saw that the sisters were crimson one by one, and suddenly realized something, and their faces turned red......

Although Zhao Yu hides the soul of an uncle in his body, he still has the feelings of a young man in terms of men and women, and all the women are also young, although they all lived in the palace in the past, they rarely moved, and they were afraid of the rules in the palace, so they were still a little distant from each other. But after discovering that the little emperor was not as dull and vicious as he was in deliberations, but a big good man, he gradually let go of his reserve and 'bullied' him together, and he was no longer as respectful as before, and even Wu Xi teased him from time to time.

After laughing with the girls, Zhao Yujue has a bit of a homely atmosphere, which makes people feel relaxed, rather than as serious as the previous dynasty. At this time, there is a small yellow door to announce that the outside has been arranged, please Your Majesty and all the ladies to move to the four pavilions. When they came out of the house, it was drizzling outside, and everyone came to the pavilion along the corridor. This was once the place where Gaozong Zhao Gou enjoyed the dance on the lake, the area is naturally not small, the curtains have been hung around, the ground has also been laid with blankets, and the mat has been laid, on which the futon is placed, a low table is placed, and some fruits and snacks are placed.

The breeze in the pavilion brings a trace of coolness, which makes people feel very comfortable, everyone sits around, Zhao Yu sits on the top, and the six women are divided into seats according to their status. At this time, in the middle of spring, the weather was warmer, and he had already changed into single clothes, and he was a little uneasy under the left and right hugs, and his concentration was greatly reduced. But I haven't forgotten that there is still something serious today, Wu Xi's family history, and everyone pushed her to talk about it first.

Wu Xi didn't make much excuses, she asked a few questions first, and then she understood that the little emperor's understanding of the imperial examination system was only at the level of half-understanding, and he didn't know much about the details.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, along with the old system of five dynasties, divided into scholars and subjects, the imperial examination is also "easier in the dynasty", not abolishing the imperial examination, the second month of the establishment of the Song Dynasty, that is, in February of the first year of Jianlong, the first imperial examination was held, still according to the old system of five dynasties, held once a year, since the seven years of Kaibao right to stop the "tribute", the "tribute" was held every year, and gradually became a practice. There is no definite number of Jinshi, and it is roughly the same as that of the Later Week. The number of "subjects" admitted from time to time is usually more than the number of scholars in the same department, that is, the so-called "at the beginning of the country, there are more people in all subjects than scholars, and the cover also inherits the clouds of the five seasons".

At the beginning of the year of Taizong, he ordered the Jinshi and the first to "determine their advantages and disadvantages as three grades", which was the first time that the Jinshi were divided into three classes. He also raised the rank of Jinshi and the post of dispatch: the first class is the general as a supervisor, and the second class is the Dali judge, and the general judgment is to the states, and the same birth is exempted from the election, and the junior shogunate judges the secretary of the secretary. In fact, all Jinshi are divided into three classes, the first and second classes are Jinshi and the first, and the third class is the same Jinshi origin. In the second year of Yongxi, the Jinshi and the subjects who passed the examination were divided into three grades, and Chunhua was divided into three years, and then divided into five grades, the first, second, and third classes were given to the Jinshi and the first, and the fourth and fifth classes were given to the Jinshi.

In the fourth year of Jingde, the imperial court promulgated the "Examination Jinshi Xinge", which completely determined the standards for admission and grade based on the examination results. In the fourth year of Dazhong Xiangfu, he promulgated the "Pro-Examination Jinshi System", formulated a series of regulations, and set the standards of five grades. In the fifth year of Tiansheng, the first division of Jinshi is the sixth class, the first class is five, the second class is called the first class, the sixth class is the fifth class, and the Jinshi division has been since then.

Later, it evolved into the fifth class, and the first class is the first class. Later, the first and second class were set as Jinshi and the first, the third class was the Jinshi background, the fourth and fifth class were the same Jinshi background, and the fifth class was later changed to the classmate background. During the filial piety period, it was changed to the first and second class for the Jinshi and the first, the third and fourth for the Jinshi origin, and the fifth for the same Jinshi origin.

"This classification and division are the same meaning, both for the purpose of distinguishing when awarding officials!" Zhao Yu nodded when he heard this, looking like this.

"Official, what did you think you meant?" Wu Xi was stunned, the emperor didn't even know these basic things, and asked in surprise.

"At the beginning, I just thought it was the difference in the list, and I didn't ask too much. Besides, when the department was opened in Qiongzhou, the level of those scholars was too low, and they randomly took a few awards, and there were no champions and lists, and the rest were all re-studied in the national sub-prison, and those who failed to the list went to the state school to wait for the next re-examination, but no one said anything! Zhao Hao scratched his scalp and was also puzzled.

"The official family is embarrassed!" Wu Xi sighed.

"Please also ask the queen to solve her doubts!" Zhao Yu said.

"Official, I opened the department at the beginning of the dynasty, and after the provincial examination, it was the palace examination, and after the palace examination, the champion, the list eye, and the flower exploration were ranked. If a scholar who won the first place in the provincial examination finds that his name is lower and not in the top three in the roll call after the palace examination, he can stand up in the palace and raise an objection and ask the emperor to put his name in the front row. Wu Xi replied.

"Hehe, there are such things, they don't say it, how can I know. But isn't this palace examination a re-selection of talents among the tributes in the self-examination examination, and winning the championship in the provincial examination, but it may not be able to fail in the palace examination! Zhao Yu said with a smile, and defended himself for his 'idiotic' behavior.

"What the official said is not bad, but in the Renzong Dynasty, there was a scholar named Zhang Yuan who repeatedly participated in the palace examination and failed the list, so he angrily voted for the Western Xia, and later the official became the prime minister of the Western Xia, who gave advice to the Western Xia, resulting in repeated failures in the expedition to the Xia. In order to prevent the recurrence of the accident of the scholars betraying the country and defecting to the enemy, Emperor Renzong issued an edict: enter the palace of scholars, and they will not be dethroned. Since then, those who participate in the temple examination must be selected as a jinshi, and it has become a system. Wu Xi said with a wry smile.

"Wouldn't such a palace test be a mere formality, so why waste the people and money!" Zhao Yu was also speechless, this Emperor Renzong was also confused, he couldn't waste food because of choking, and turned the palace test into a ranking competition.

"I thought that the official family opened a department in Qiongzhou back then, but no one said much, and it may be because it was the first time to open a department after Nandu!" At this time, Wang Yu interjected......
