After Zhu Hao tested Wu Sangui, he had an answer in his heart, so he chatted with him for a few words, and then encouraged him to serve the country loyally, and then let Wu Sangui go back.

After Zhu Hao met with these Zhongbang people, it was time to send officials, in fact, the position of the subordinate officials of the Xinwang Mansion was limited, and Zhu Hao deliberately selected some more talents, the purpose was to place these people into the imperial court.

Because he is the chief examiner of this imperial examination, he has a love affair with these people who have won the list.

Moreover, this unique imperial examination was strongly advocated by him, and many people in the DPRK and China opposed his imperial examination, and after these people entered the court, they would inevitably be squeezed out by the officials of the other eight groups.

These people who have passed the new imperial examination can only rely on him, so Zhu Hao is not afraid of these people, and after entering the court, he will be out of his control.

After Zhu Hao made a calculation, he went to the palace to meet the emperor's eldest brother, Zhu Youxiao was already able to get out of bed at this moment, and when he saw Zhu Hao coming, he said with a smile on his face:

"Brother Huang, I heard that your imperial examination was very successful this time!"

"I'm here to congratulate you!"

When Zhu Hao heard this, his face was also happy, and he hurriedly bowed down and saluted:

"Your Majesty's words are serious, the younger brother is also, for the country, this time a total of 32 people are on the list, except for the ten subordinate officials of the younger brother, the remaining 22 people, please also ask Your Majesty to decide!"

Zhu Youxiao listened to Zhu Hao's words, laughed and said:

"Brother Huang, when you came to see me, I'm afraid you already have an idea in your heart, right?"

"Don't be clever with me, tell me what you want to do!"

Zhu Hao's thoughts were debunked by Zhu Youxiao, and an embarrassed look immediately appeared on his face, and he hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty Shengming, what the courtier's brother is thinking in his heart, you can see it clearly at a glance!"

Zhu Youxiao listened to Zhu Hao's words, sighed slightly, and said:

"I, where is Shengming!"

"I know that if you are fine, you will never run towards the Qianqing Palace, and every time you come to see me, you must have something to say!"

Listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Zhu Hao thought about it carefully, since Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he really hasn't come to visit Zhu Youxiao and come to the Qianqing Palace.

At this moment, when he heard Zhu Youxiao say this, a look of guilt suddenly appeared on his face, and he explained:

"Your Majesty, my brother is ......"

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he waved his hand and said:

"Brother Huang, you don't have to say much, I don't mean to blame you!"

"I didn't complain about anything, because I know that you are also dedicated to the country, and as your brother, I should do to help you solve problems, and I hope you have more problems, so that I can see you from time to time!"

Zhu Hao listened to Zhu Youxiao's words, choked up for a long time and didn't speak, in Zhu Hao's heart, Zhu Youxiao has never been a great tomorrow, but loves his brother, because of this, Zhu Hao is also willing to do more things to repay Zhu Youxiao.

Of course, these things are different from his ultimate goal of saving the Ming Dynasty.

In Zhu Hao's view, the conquest of the Quartet is for stability, and the reform of the imperial examination is for governance, public security, public security, and governance can be truly stable, so in Zhu Hao's view, sometimes governance is more important than counterinsurgency.

Zhu Hao didn't speak for a long time because of his excitement and thoughts in his heart, but Zhu Youxiao said with a smile first:

"Okay, brother Huang, don't brew any more sensational words, my body is just right, I shouldn't be sad, let's talk quickly, you came to see me, what is the matter, let me help you do it!"

Zhu Hao came back to his senses in Zhu Youxiao's words, and then he was not hypocritical, and immediately bowed down and said:

"There is a popular saying among the people, it is the mule that the horse has to pull out for a walk, this time the courtiers and younger brothers reformed the imperial examination, and it was very successful in the early stage, but the selection of these talents, whether it is applicable to the imperial court, still needs to be tested!"

"Brother Chen, I want Your Majesty's permission to raise the remaining twenty-two people in the list and distribute them to the six departments to investigate their abilities!"

"If these people are of great use, they can implement the new law of the imperial examination, if they are not useful, they can be dismissed, and the younger brother will never mention the reform of the imperial examination!"

Zhu Hao's actual mind is that the six departments are the power center of the Ming Dynasty, and sending these people into the six departments, although it is impossible to directly give them a high position, but at least he has inserted these nails in the six departments.

These people can allow him to completely control the situation of the six departments, and at the same time, they can also properly curb the power of the eunuchs.

Zhu Youxiao listened to Zhu Hao's words, groaned slightly, and then said:

"Brother Huang, what you just said is very reasonable, I don't know what Brother Huang thinks, these people should be in any position in the Sixth Ministry?"

Zhu Hao listened to Zhu Youxiao asking him, and immediately said the idea he had thought about a long time ago, and he immediately said:

"According to the younger brother, among the six pins of each department, it is the most suitable!"

"It can not only test the ability of these people, but at the same time, it is not particularly critical, if it is found that these people are not capable, it is easier to recall and replace!"

Zhu Youxiao listened to Zhu Hao's words, and said with a slight bow:

"The royal brother has a point, just do what the imperial brother says!"

"I immediately issued an order to let these twenty-two people go to the various ministries to assign the list specifically, does the imperial brother have anything else to add?"

When Zhu Hao heard this, he hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Zhu Youxiao:

"Back to Your Majesty, the younger brother has drawn up the list of these twenty-two people serving in various ministries, please take a look at Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao took the fold handed by Zhu Hao, and before he opened it, he pointed at Zhu Hao with a smile and said:

"Brother Huang, you are here prepared!"

"Looks like you've thought everything through!"

When Zhu Hao heard this, he hurriedly replied:

"Your Majesty, since the younger brother is the main exam of Enke this time, he naturally has to analyze his talents for the imperial court and let him serve in a suitable position, and the younger brother is also regarded as a teacher, and these teachers who are on the list know a little bit about these people!"

"Brother Chen, this is not a premeditated plan, but to share your Majesty's worries!"

Zhu Youxiao listened to Zhu Hao's words, and said with a slight smile:

"You, you know what is good!"

"Okay!"

"Since you have already inspected these people, I will follow what is written in this list and let these people serve in the Sixth Department!"

"But I have to say it first, if these people don't do well in the Sixth Division, don't blame me for removing them at that time!"

When Zhu Hao heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said:

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty's younger brother will always pay attention to these people, if they are really useless, without Your Majesty's decree, your younger brother will ask Your Majesty for an order to remove them!"

Zhu Youxiao listened to Zhu Hao say this, nodded with satisfaction, and then the two brothers gossiped a little, and Zhu Hao left the Qianqing Palace and returned to his palace.

The imperial examination was completed, and the twenty-two were the new list of people, and they were also sent to the sixth department by Zhu Hao, Zhu Hao was rarely a little more leisurely, during this time, he had nothing to raise flowers and grow grass except in the mansion, which was the love between husband and wife with Zi Yan.

Although Zhu Hao seems to be very idle during this time, in fact, he is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and he has been closely observing the movements of the eunuch party and the general trend of the world during these times.

However, what makes Zhu Hao still satisfied is that since he returned to Beijing, the eunuch party has converged a lot, and there has been no war in various places, of course, the disasters in the late Ming period continued, which was affected by the Xiaoice period, and Zhu Hao could not change this damn climate.

Because the inside and outside are quite stable, Zhu Hao rarely enjoys his leisure time, but Zhu Hao's leisure time did not last long before he was interrupted.

On this day, among the twenty-two people he recruited in the new department, Zhang Liang, who was among the people in the household department, handed over a letter of worship and wanted to meet him.

Zhu Hao knew that he couldn't say how outstanding his ability was when he chose these people, but they were definitely good officials who were dedicated to the people, so after Zhu Hao received Zhang Liang's greetings, he instinctively felt that something should happen in it.

Therefore, Zhu Hao immediately asked people to inform Zhang Liang and came to see him at the mansion, Zhang Liang rushed to the Xinwang Mansion after receiving the news from Zhu Hao, and after a salute, Zhu Hao asked directly:

"Zhang Langzhong, you came to see this king, I don't know what is important?"

Zhang Liang listened to Zhu Hao's words, hurriedly bowed down again, and then said:

"The lower officials don't dare to hide their teacher, the situation is like this, in June this year, Yan'an was snowy in March, Jinan flew locusts covered the sky, and the autumn harvest was gone, and the two places continued to allocate funds for relief!"

"But the household department has no money and food, so it can be transferred!"

Zhu Hao heard Zhang Liang say this, frowned slightly and said:

"The household department has no money and grain allocation, you should go to the court, what are you doing here to this king?"

"Is it possible that you want to beat the autumn wind of this king?"

Zhang Liang listened to Zhu Hao's words, and hurriedly bowed down and said:

"Teacher, you misunderstood, you just gave the subordinate a hundred dares, and the subordinate didn't dare to beat the teacher's idea!"

"It's just that the lower officials are responsible for accounting for the Jiangnan taxes, and they found that there are many deficiencies in the Jiangnan taxes, and their accounts are also chaotic.

"Some of the lower officials are playing in the court, and they are afraid that they will be humble and light, and it will be difficult to reach the heavens, so they came to see the teacher and seek the help of the teacher!"

Zhu Hao listened to Zhang Liang's words, frowned slightly, and said:

"Is there such a thing?"

"What you said is very important, and you must not say anything!"

Zhang Liang listened to Zhu Hao's words, and there was a lot of disbelief, and he hurriedly said:

"Your Highness Mingjian, the lower officials are a hundred heads, and they don't dare to chase the wind and catch shadows in the taxes in Jiangnan!"

"If the lower official is not completely sure, he will not stand in front of the prince today!"

Zhu Hao listened to what Zhang Liang said, swore so much, and after muttering for a long time, he sighed and said:

"You prepare the evidence you have collected, this king will take you into the palace tomorrow, face Your Majesty, remember that Jiangnan taxation is the top priority of the imperial court, you can't be careless, if the evidence is insufficient, this king will be punished with you!"

When Zhang Liang heard this, he hurriedly bowed down to Zhu Hao and said:

"Please rest assured, the lower official is completely sure, even if His Majesty doesn't believe it, the lower official will bear it with all his might, and it won't affect the teacher!"

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

"Yes, he is a responsible person, this king is just reminding you to be cautious, not asking you to take responsibility for this king, if this king is afraid of responsibility, he will not take you into the palace tomorrow to meet Your Majesty!"

The reason why Zhu Hao said this was because he didn't want Zhang Liang, a newly recruited talent, to have any opinion of him, and he wanted to tell Zhang Liang that King Thaksin was a responsible person.

Zhang Liang listened to Zhu Hao's words, and hurriedly bowed down again and said:

"The teacher is noble, the lower official admires, please forgive the lower official for the gaffe just now, and the lower official retracts the disrespectful words he just said to the teacher!"

When Zhu Hao heard this, he nodded slightly, and didn't say anything more, and Zhang Liang saw this and gave a salute to retire.

Just after the next day, Zhu Hao took Zhang Liang to the palace, and as soon as Zhu Hao left the house, Wei Zhongxian received a secret report from Dongchang Banner.

When Wei Zhongxian heard the news, he stroked his palms and smiled:

"King Xin, as expected, I really took that stunned young man into the palace to see Your Majesty, so it solved a big problem for this governor, and the matter of Jiangnan will give King Xin a headache!"

It turned out that Zhang Liang was able to be responsible for verifying the taxes in Jiangnan, such an important work was planned by Wei Zhongxian, and it was he who instructed the eunuchs to be responsible for verifying the taxes in Jiangnan.

And the reason why Wei Zhongxian did this, its purpose is to bring disaster to the east, you must know that this Jiangnan is the base camp of the Donglin Party, these Jiangnan clans, the power they have, so Wei Zhongxian is also very headache, dare not touch it easily, but if he does not rectify it, these Jiangnan clans, then if he wants to completely eliminate the Donglin Party, it is impossible.

After thinking about it, Wei Zhongxian asked people to make a mess of Jiangnan's tax account books, and then asked Zhang Liang to check the accounts, hoping that Zhang Liang would report the matter to Zhu Hao, and let Zhu Hao go to check Jiangnan's taxes and suppress the Jiangnan clan, and then he could make a profit from it.

I have to say that this time Zhu Hao was really used by Wei Zhongxian, but even if Zhu Hao knew that Wei Zhongxian was using him to fight the Donglin Party, he would not sit idly by when he knew that there was a problem with taxes in Jiangnan.

After all, he is a member of the Zhu family, and he protects the world of the Zhu family, not a politician who only knows how to fight, so after he knows that there is a problem with Jiangnan taxes, even if he knows that he is being used, he will go to investigate Jiangnan taxes and eliminate this hidden danger for Daming.

Zhu Hao took Zhang Liang and came to the Qianqing Palace, and directly explained his intention to Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao listened to Zhu Hao say that after there was a problem with the taxation in Jiangnan, he immediately paid attention to it, and hurriedly asked:

"Brother Huang, you said that there is a problem with taxes in Jiangnan, but what is the solid evidence, this Jiangnan has always been my Ming, the main source of finance, if it has a problem, I am afraid it will hurt the foundation of the country!"

Zhu Hao listened to Zhu Youxiao's words, and hurriedly nodded and said:

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, and it is precisely this worry that my brother is worried, and I came to see Your Majesty this time!"

"Regarding the taxation, please ask Your Majesty to ask, Zhang Langzhong, the problem in this is also found in Zhang Lang!"

Zhu Hao said, pointing to Zhang Liang beside him, Zhang Liang saw this and hurriedly greeted Zhu Youxiao again, and then told his findings and the evidence he had.

After listening to Zhang Liang's complaint, Zhu Youxiao was shocked and said:

"According to Zhang Langzhong's intentions, my Ming Dynasty's Jiangnan tax, in fact, only collected less than one-tenth, and the rest was lost in the name of Qiaoli?"

"These bold bastards, they are playing me as a monkey, and I must not tolerate this matter!"

Although Zhu Youxiao can't say what kind of Ming monarch is the hero, but he can distinguish between right and wrong, and now that the treasury is empty, he also knows, he only thinks that it is a disaster that has made the treasury empty.

Unexpectedly, he thought that Jiangnan, who had been generating income for him, was the source of the emptiness of the treasury, and after knowing this, how could he not be angry.

Zhu Hao looked at his emperor's eldest brother angry, for fear that he would hurt his body, so he hurriedly comforted:

"Your Majesty will be angry for the time being, at the moment Jiangnan is just some small trouble, Your Majesty sent a messenger to Jiangnan to investigate the truth and eliminate the evils, that's it!"

"If you hurt Your Majesty's dragon body because of this, it is a courtier's brother, and you shouldn't be here today!"

Zhu Youxiao heard Zhu Hao say this, and hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"At this time, it has nothing to do with the emperor's brother, it's just that these Jiangnan clans don't take me seriously too much, they fool me as a three-year-old child, how can you say that I can't be angry!"

Zhu Youxiao said, took a deep breath, and then said:

"Brother Huang, according to your wishes, who can be assigned to Jiangnan to fight the scourge of chaos and taxation?"

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

"Your Majesty, since you asked your brother, I'm afraid your Majesty has the idea of letting your brother go to Jiangnan!"

"What's more, such a fundamental matter that hurts the imperial court, the younger brother can't sit idly by, and the younger brother will go to Jiangnan for Your Majesty to completely eliminate this tax trouble for Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao listened to Zhu Hao, comprehended the thoughts in his heart, and said with a smile on his face:

"The one who knows me is none other than the emperor's brother!"

"Brother Huang, you are indeed the best choice to go to Jiangnan, this Jiangnan tax involves more than tens of millions of interests, if I send other people to Jiangnan, I am afraid that in the end, it will also end up without a problem!"

"Imperial brother, you go to handle it, I am the most relieved, but I have worked hard for the imperial brother!"

"You just laid down the island for the Ming Dynasty, and it didn't take long to rest in Beijing, and then you took the imperial examination again, not long after the imperial examination ended, I want to send you to Jiangnan again, the emperor's brother is running around like this, I really can't bear it in my heart!"

Zhu Hao listened to Zhu Youxiao's words, and hurriedly bowed down and said:

"Brother Chen, Thank Your Majesty for being compassionate, it is the duty of your brother to share your Majesty's worries and relieve the difficulties of the court, your brother does not feel hard, please don't worry about your brother!"

"It's just that I'm going to Jiangnan here, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Beijing in a short time, and my brother hopes that Your Majesty can take care of the dragon's body, so that my brother will be carefree when he's outside!"

Zhu Youxiao listened to Zhu Hao's words, his expression was a little excited, and he nodded again and again:

"Brother Huang, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of myself, and when you come back from Jiangnan this time, I will definitely go out of the city to greet you in person!"

Zhu Youxiao said, the two brothers told each other a few more words, and Zhu Hao retired and left, returning home to prepare for the trip to Jiangnan.

At the beginning of July of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Hao, who lived in the capital for a short period of three months, embarked on his journey again.
