When Zhu Hao's words fell, he bowed down and withdrew from Xinuan Pavilion, and at the same time, he also knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to leave the capital for a while.

Because now his eldest brother of the emperor seems to be in very bad health, if the situation changes, he must prevent Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka clan, if there is any action, he must sit in the capital at this moment.

Because Zhu Hao was thinking about this, after leaving the Xinuan Pavilion, he didn't pay attention, and almost collided with a person, and the person who came immediately said:

"Brother Huang, what are you thinking, why are you so reckless?"

The person who came was none other than the queen Zhang Yan, and when Zhu Hao saw that it was Zhang Yan, he hurriedly saluted and said:

"It turned out to be the queen's mother, the courtier's brother just visited His Majesty, seeing His Majesty sick in bed, the courtier's brother was in a trance, and the queen mother who almost collided, and asked the mother to forgive her sins!"

Zhang Yan listened to Zhu Hao's words, couldn't help but sigh slightly, and then said:

"Brother Huang, now that Your Majesty is seriously ill, you have to pay more attention to the affairs of the court, don't give it to those young people, there is a chance to take advantage of it!"

The meaning of Zhang Yan's words was to ask Zhu Hao not to leave the capital and prevent Wei Zhongxian's coup d'état.

"Please rest assured, as long as the courtiers are here, those small people can't make any waves, if necessary, Liaodong still has my Daming, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses can be of great use!"

Zhu Hao told Zhang Yan that he already knew and would take precautions, and if the situation got out of control, he would transfer Liaodong soldiers and horses to Beijing to suppress it.

Zhang Yan listened to Zhu Hao's words, bowed slightly, and then said:

"This palace is a woman's family, and the major affairs of the military state have to rely on the prince, and please see the brotherhood with His Majesty, and pay more attention!"

Zhu Hao bowed when he heard this:

"Please rest assured, my brother should do his best to protect my country!"

Zhu Hao said that, then he saluted again and retreated.

After Zhu Hao left the palace, he returned to his mansion, after thinking about it, he thought that he really needed to curb the development of the eunuch party, otherwise once his eldest brother had an accident, the eunuch party was powerful in Beijing, and if he really wanted to do something, it would be very troublesome.

Zhu Hao thought so, so he asked people to find Shuntian Mansion Yin Gongsun Ce, Gongsun Ce, the Shuntian Mansion Yin, is an authentic magistrate in the capital, and at the same time, he has been in the position of Shuntian Mansion Yin for nearly five years, and he understands the pattern of the capital more clearly than Zhu Hao, so Zhu Hao is summoning Gongsun Ce.

When Gongsun Ce heard that King Xin had summoned him, he immediately did not dare to slack off, and immediately put down the official business in his hand and came to the palace to see Zhu Hao.

"Your Highness, summon Weichen here, I don't know if the prince has anything to explain to Weichen?"

Zhu Hao listened to Gongsun Ce's inquiry, and immediately did not hide it, and said directly:

"Gongsun, this king asked you to come this time, there is nothing else, I just want to ask you, how much do you know about the eunuchs!"

"What kind of power do they have in the capital, and which people are diehard loyalists of the eunuch party!"

Gongsun Ce heard Zhu Hao ask about the eunuch party, and immediately did not dare to slack off, and after pondering for a long time, he spoke:

"Your Highness, are you going to do something to the eunuchs?"

"According to Weichen, you have to think twice about this matter, now the government and the opposition are all eunuchs, if you want to eradicate it, I am afraid it will hurt the foundation, if you don't eradicate it, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future!"

Zhu Hao listened to Gongsun Ce's words, frowned slightly, and said:

"Could it be that there is no one in the court except for the eunuchs?"

When Gongsun Ce heard this, he said with a heavy face:

"Back to His Royal Highness, Wei Zhongxian has given orders on behalf of the heavens over the years, and he has been promoted, and those who oppose him will lose his official position at least and lose his life at worst!"

"At present, the whole court, in addition to his die-hard loyalists, are also close to the eunuchs, and it is indeed considered that no one is available except for the eunuchs!"

"If Your Highness, thunder means, dealing with Wei Zhongxian, is extremely core, these people may turn against each other, but these people are just grass on the wall, and the future court entrusts these people, I am afraid that the disaster will far exceed that of the eunuch party!"

"This eunuch party is powerful, although its disaster is not light, but over the years, it has also done some practical things, if they are uprooted, I am afraid that these wall grasses will be left, and they will really not be able to do anything serious!"

"So Weichen, please think twice, the trouble of the eunuch party cannot be eliminated, but it must not be rushed, His Highness should first accumulate a group of usable people, cultivate them, and when they mature, gradually replace the eunuch party, and finally eradicate it by thunderous means, it is the best policy!"

Zhu Hao listened to Gongsun Ce's words, and after pondering for a long time, he spoke:

"Gongsun, what you mean, this king understands!"

"This matter, this king thinks simply, you go back first!"

"This matter, this king should rethink it!"

Zhu Hao said, then waved his hand at Gongsun Ce, seeing this, Gongsun Ce hurriedly bowed and bowed, and retreated.

After Gongsun Ce left, Zhu Hao thought about what Gongsun Ce had just said, and secretly said in his heart:

"No wonder some people in later generations said that killing Wei Zhongxian made Daming accelerate the speed of the country's demise, it seems that the disaster of this eunuch party is not the poison of Wei Zhongxian's superficial people!"

In fact, Zhu Hao knew in his heart that the easiest way was to use the deposed Donglin Party to check and balance the eunuch party, these Donglin Party people hated Wei Zhongxian to death, and they would definitely bite Wei Zhongxian, which would be conducive to Zhu Hao to profit from it.

However, Zhu Hao didn't want to reactivate these people, because Zhu Hao knew in his heart that these Donglin Party represented the interests of those big landlords in Jiangnan.

Now the country is about to eat, but these people are so rich, Zhu Hao has already been tempted by these people's money bags, so naturally he can't use the Donglin Party anymore to hinder his follow-up actions.

After thinking about it, Zhu Hao thought that there was only one way to solve the current dilemma, and that was to open a branch to take scholars, but Zhu Hao was not prepared to use the Ming Dynasty's eight-share scholars.

Because Zhu Hao knows that these eight strands of scholars will be included in the first meeting, a lot of nerds, and at the same time, many talents who have a strategy for governing the country in their chests will be lost because they are not proficient in the eight strands.

Therefore, Zhu Hao decided to reform the imperial examination, and at the same time add Enke this year to announce to the world.

Zhu Hao's idea is very good, but Zhu Hao said that it doesn't matter, because whether it is to open Enke or announce it to the world, it is the emperor's right, and even if he, the prince, is strong, he can't surpass the imperial power.

Therefore, Zhu Hao knew that he needed to go to the palace again to obtain the consent of his emperor's eldest brother, Zhu Hao thought so, and after washing up the next morning, he hurried to the palace.

At this moment, because of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he was seriously ill and bedridden, and he had not been in the early dynasty for a long time, so although Zhu Hao was in the palace that he entered in the early dynasty, he still saw Zhu Youxiao in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace.

I don't know if it's because Zhu Youxiao saw Zhu Hao yesterday, which made him feel very good, his condition has improved, today he has been able to sit up from the bed, breakfast time, and also ate a bowl of gruel and two pieces of dim sum, his complexion looks much better than yesterday.

Zhu Hao entered the Xinuan Pavilion and saw Zhu Youxiao, who looked much better than yesterday, and his face was also happy, and he hurriedly saluted:

"Brother Zhu Youzhen, see Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao saw Zhu Hao coming, and said with a smile on his face:

"The emperor's brother is here, there is no need to be polite!"

"You and Zi Yan, Xiao Biesheng are newly married, it's not good to spend two time in the palace, and you came to me so early in the morning, but what's the matter?"

"Tell me to listen, I want to hear it, what kind of thing is it, to let the imperial brother you, put a good world of two people!"

Zhu Hao was joking by Zhu Youxiao, and he couldn't help blushing a little immediately, but thinking about the important things in front of him, he only hesitated slightly in the face of Zhu Youxiao's jokes, and then said:

"Back to Your Majesty, my brother is here, I want to ask Your Majesty to open Enke, and at the same time, my brother wants to change the way of taking scholars in the eight shares!"

Zhu Youxiao listened to Zhu Hao's words, and the smile that had just appeared on his face disappeared in an instant, and he immediately said:

"Brother Huang, if you want me to open Enke, there must be some reason!"

"This has been a famine for many years, and I am in the sickbed again, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to open Enke at this time!"

"Even if I agree, I'm afraid those officials of the Ministry of Rites won't agree!"

"I'll look at this matter, so forget it!"

Zhu Hao listened to Zhu Youxiao's rejection of his proposal, and when he opened his mouth, he said:

"Your Majesty, otherwise!"

"Although there are occasional disasters in this world, it is normal, Your Majesty is in the sickbed, and you should be gracious to your subjects, open Enke, and accumulate blessings for Your Majesty!"

"Besides, the younger brother has captured Fuwei, Fuwei needs a large number of officials to govern, and the backup officials in the DPRK and the central government are limited, in the past few years, there have been more officials who have deposed Zhishi, and the court officials are in shortage, so the younger brother asked His Majesty to open Enke!"

Zhu Youxiao listened to Zhu Hao's words, took a deep breath and said:

"Brother Huang, what you said is some truth, I can promise you to open Enke Scholar, but you just said that you want to change the way of Eight Shares Scholar, what do you mean?"

Zhu Hao heard that Zhu Youxiao agreed and opened Enke, and immediately had a happy look on his face, and hurriedly explained:

"Your Majesty, these eight units of scholars, the examination is stubborn and pedantic, the younger brother wants to change this way of taking scholars, with his practical ability, take his talents, and let him be an official!"

As soon as Zhu Hao's words fell, Zhu Youxiao immediately said angrily:

"Bastard, what kind of bastard are you talking about!"

"Eight shares of scholars, it is the ancestral law set up by Emperor Taizu, you dare to belittle so much, say such disobedient words, you, you are angry, cough cough ......"

Zhu Youxiao said, coughing violently, Zhu Hao was shocked, and hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, rest your anger!"

"What my brother said is really for the sake of my Ming Dynasty's society, not to slander the national policy set by Taizu, but to talk about things!"

In fact, looking at Zhu Youxiao, so angry, Zhu Hao actually didn't want to say more, because he was afraid that his emperor brother would really be angry and couldn't afford to get sick again.

But at such a critical moment, he had to grit his teeth and continue, but as soon as Zhu Hao's words came here, Wei Zhongxian saw the opportunity, expressed his loyalty, knelt in front of Zhu Hao, and said with a handful of snot and tears:

"Your Royal Highness the King of Letters, the old slave begs you not to say it!"

"Look at what your majesty has become!"

Zhu Hao was already holding back the fire in his heart, but at this moment, Wei Zhongxian actually saw the stitches, which made Zhu Hao suddenly unable to hold the fire, and immediately kicked Wei Zhongxian over, and said angrily:

"You bastard, this king is discussing national policy with His Majesty, what is your business!"

"Get out of the way for this king!"

"The ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty not only has eight shares of scholars, but also emphatically said that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!"

Zhu Hao took advantage of Zhu Youxiao's words and moved out of the ancestral teachings of the Ming Dynasty, so that Wei Zhongxian did not dare to make another time, but Rao was so, Wei Zhongxian did not forget to add fuel and vinegar and said:

"The old slave doesn't know what the national policy is, but I beg Your Highness not to be angry with the saint, the old slave begs you!"

Wei Zhongxian said, and kowtowed respectfully to Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao was so angry that Wei Zhongxian saw the stitches, if it wasn't for the fact that he was in front of his emperor's eldest brother now, he really drew his sword and stabbed this old eunuch to death with a sword.

When Zhu Youxiao saw Zhu Hao, he looked at Wei Zhongxian angrily, lest the conflict between the two escalate, and Zhu Hao would do something as big as three steps of blood spatter, after all, Zhu Hao's arm was cut off in front of him at the beginning.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao hurriedly coughed lightly, drank Wei Zhongxian, and then said to Zhu Hao:

"Brother Huang, no matter how many reasons I have, I can't change this ancestral law!"

"I know that I am not a Dao Ming Jun, but I don't want to be a faint monarch on my back and disobey my ancestors!"

"This matter, according to me, let's forget it!"

In fact, Zhu Youxiao, even if he rejected Zhu Hao's proposal in a strict manner, normally speaking, Zhu Hao couldn't say anything more.

However, in Zhu Hao's heart at the moment, what he wanted was to eradicate the hidden danger of party strife in the Ming Dynasty, so he had to speak again:

"Your Majesty, my brother would like to ask you a question first, is Your Majesty still satisfied with the current Ministry of Works?"

Zhu Youxiao listened to Zhu Hao and asked about Lu Ban, he didn't think about it, so he said directly: "Mr. Gongyi is a great talent, since he took charge of the Ministry of Industry, he is very kind to me, if it weren't for the urgent need for shipbuilding in the naval battle, I would not be willing to transfer him to Fuzhou!" ”

Zhu Hao listened to Zhu Youxiao and affirmed Lu Ban so much, and immediately nodded and continued:

"Since Your Majesty is so satisfied with Lord Gongyi, then the younger brother wants to ask Your Majesty a question, that is, if Lord Gongyi is not a lucky Majesty to meet, according to the normal Eight Shares of Scholars, will he be able to achieve the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry?"

Zhu Hao's words made Zhu Youxiao think deeply, he thought carefully about Zhu Hao's words, and didn't say anything for a while.

The reason why Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything was because he knew that if he really took the scholars according to the eight shares, Lu Ban would not say that he would not participate in the imperial examination, and even if he participated in the imperial examination, he would not be selected.

Because what he has learned, it is not in the eight-strand text.

Zhu Hao saw that Zhu Youxiao didn't speak, so he spoke again:

"Your Majesty, there is a specialization in the art industry, only one or eight strands of literature, and if you take the talents of the world, there will be a lot of talent loss!"

"In this world, such a public loser is like a general, and he has a strong ability in a certain field, but he is restricted by the eight shares of the warriors and cannot serve the imperial court, isn't this a loss for the imperial court?"

"Brother Ministers plead Your Majesty, En Zhun Brother Request!"

Zhu Youxiao is not an unreasonable person, he listened to Zhu Hao's analogy, and immediately realized the disadvantages of the eight-share scholar, but after all, the Ming Dynasty has implemented the eight-share scholar for more than two hundred years, and the eight-share scholar is in everyone's heart, that is the law of eternity, Zhu Youxiao thinks the same, so he does not dare to easily agree to Zhu Hao's request.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a long time before he spoke:

"Brother Huang, I admit that what you said has some truth, but your new method of taking scholars may not be better than that of the Eight Strands!"

"If it's better than the Eight Shares, it's naturally a good thing, but if it's not as good as the Eight Shares, then I'll become the biggest sinner in the world!"

"Although these eight shares of scholars, although they have their shortcomings, but after all, they have been implemented for more than two hundred years, and your new method of taking scholars, although it is unique, may not be better than that of eight shares, I think that this matter should be done cautiously!"

Zhu Hao listened to Zhu Youxiao's words, thinking that Zhu Youxiao was going to reject him again and change the suggestion of the Eight Shares of the Scholar, so he was about to open his mouth to make a statement, but before his words could be spoken, he was interrupted by Zhu Youxiao:

"Imperial brother, you don't have to be anxious, I don't mean to completely reject your proposal, I mean that such a major change needs to be cautious!"

"So be it!"

"Imperial brother, you are also an adult, this time I will pardon Enke and choose a subordinate official for you, as for how to take the exam, how will you decide?"

"If your new method of taking scholars is successful this time, then starting next year, I will abolish the Eight Shares of Scholars and use your method instead?"

Zhu Hao didn't expect that his emperor's eldest brother would come up with such a compromise solution, and at the same time, he also knew that his emperor's eldest brother really needed to be under a lot of pressure to abolish the eight-share scholar.

Therefore, Zhu Hao bowed down and said:

"Brother, thank you for your grace!"

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he smiled and said:

"Thank you!"

"I know, my imperial brother, your suggestion is also for, my Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, I should thank you, the emperor!"

When Zhu Hao heard this, he hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty is serious, what you said is tormenting your brother, and your brother is ashamed!"

Then the brothers gossiped again, and Zhu Hao withdrew.

Zhu Hao, who left the palace, was extremely uncalm in his heart, and the one that made him uneasy was that his emperor's eldest brother agreed in disguise to open Enke and abolish the Eight Shares of Scholars.

The other is that his emperor's eldest brother actually has the heart to pass on the throne, you must know that in the entire Ming Dynasty, there is no such thing as selecting the subordinate officials of the palace with great fanfare, and only the prince can select the subordinate officials on a large scale, and the prince is the heir to the throne.

His eldest brother of the emperor gave him such a fanfare to select subordinate officials, how could Zhu Hao not know, if it wasn't for his eagerness to continue talents, he would definitely not agree to this proposal of his eldest brother.

But now that the matter has come to this, he can only take one step at a time, he only hopes that this time, through Enke, he can gather more talents to govern the country.
