After the eunuchs handed out the scrolls, the tributes took their seats.

Ouyang Zhi sat down, looked down at the scroll, and saw three words written on the blank scroll - Ping Mulu.

Miru's rebellion, but anyone who reads the recent palace newspaper knows what the Miru rebellion is all about.

This rebellion has been going on for almost a year.

Last time, the imperial court folded a lieutenant officer, a governor, and a general soldier. After that, the imperial court sent Wang Shi, the squire of the Nanjing Military Department, but even so, the army was frustrated.

Under these circumstances, His Majesty's use of this as a question for the examination also proves in a sense that this rebellion is now a matter of paramount importance.

In fact, at the beginning, many people speculated that the biggest problem of this policy was probably the current drought near Beijing, this great drought has lasted for nearly two months, and there has been no rain so far.

And no one thought that His Majesty did not play his cards according to common sense.

Ouyang Zhi thought about it, and immediately thought of what his mentor had said about this matter.

The mentor believed that in order to pacify Miru, it was necessary to take the initiative to attack, select people who were familiar with mountain warfare, organize them into a battalion, and look for fighters everywhere, so as to reduce the heavy burden of a large number of soldiers and horses, and also flexibly and maneuver with thieves.

These Tusi, after all, are much smaller in strength than the imperial court, as long as the imperial court persistently sends mountain battalions to attack, the rebels lose a point, and the strength will be reduced by a point, and the imperial court can immediately replenish and drill even if the mountain battalion is damaged......

Call......

Ouyang Zhi took his teacher's words to heart.

I thought about it......

Ouyang Zhi did not hesitate, immediately sharpened the ink, and wrote the manuscript in his heart, and then picked up the pen.

Jiang Chen and Liu Wenshan also had a plan in their hearts after seeing this question.

And Tang Yin?

He, like Ouyang Zhi and the three of them, actually doesn't know much about martial arts, but he also remembers this, what the teacher said, it is naturally according to the teacher's teachings, and now the focus is on how to make a splendid article, therefore, in this regard, he is different from the honest Ouyang Zhi and the three, his mind is more on the choice of words and sentences.

Only Xu Jing, his eyes flickered brightly and darkly, and he seemed to hesitate.

On the other side, Wang Shouren saw this question and had already made up his mind.

He is very familiar with Ma Zheng's affairs, after all, he has learned so much about the art of war, and he has traveled to border towns and visited many of his father's close friends, such as Li Dongyang, he has also heard Li Gong discuss this matter, how to manage the army, how to suppress thieves, and there is always some number in his heart.

So he groaned slightly, and began to put pen to paper, he is a man with the world in mind, the Miru rebellion, has long worried him, occasionally, his father will also talk to himself about some current situation, because of this, this worry is infinitely magnified in his heart.

It wasn't until noon that Wang Shouren's sprinkling article was finished, and he read his article carefully with his sore wrist, and suddenly even he was refreshed.

So he secretly raised his eyes, glanced at the emperor who was sitting high on his back, and nodded secretly in his heart.

In the year of Chenghua, the first emperor is said to have been in the deep palace, so he didn't even want to participate in the court meeting, even if it was a triennial palace examination, he only appointed a eunuch to put the questions.

On the one hand, the emperor sat in the palace for a whole day, and he also needed to show the majesty of the emperor, which was not something that ordinary people could bear, which was also the reason why the emperor was lazy.

And now long live, although he is not full of energy, he has been sitting here, neither absent, nor leaving halfway, and he just simply used some pastries, which alone shows that His Majesty is diligent in government, and it is not groundless.

Until dusk, the twilight bell was struck outside, and the bell rang three times in a row, and the aftermath was long!

Wang Ao coughed and said, "Seal the volume." ”

"Sealing ......"

"Sealing ......"

One by one, the eunuchs sang, and the voices echoed in this empty Baohe Palace.

Outside the hall, one by one the eunuchs rushed in, shuttling through the cases, according to the examination number, began to collect the papers one by one, and they placed the examination papers in trays one by one, and did not need to be named, but left immediately after the papers.

Immediately afterward, the scrolls will be combed and placed on the emperor's desk.

More than 300 examination papers are a big project, and generally speaking, the emperor and cabinet ministers read the papers together, and after that, they will choose an auspicious day and issue the list.

After the sentient beings have collected the scrolls, they line up, salute, and then are guided out of the palace by the eunuchs.

Emperor Hongzhi looked extremely tired, he was already in poor health, and he sat dry for a day, and even held back his gong.

It's not that he can't be flattering, it's just that for him, it's better to be solemn in this kind of talent ceremony, in the process of the palace test, he has specially observed several protégés of Fang Jifan, as well as Wang Shouren.

Observing Wang Shouren is because Wang Shouren is the son of Wang Hua, and he has also heard some of it, which he heard from Li Dongyang, Li Dongyang usually speaks little, but he is very optimistic about this young man, thinking that he has a great chance to stand out and beat the others in this palace examination.

This son doesn't seem to be in a hurry, but he also has a bit of a minister's style.

Ouyang Zhi and others also seemed calm, which was of great use.

Ouyang Zhi is an honest man, and Emperor Hongzhi is also an honest man, he pays attention to being open-minded, although he gave birth to a prince who is not very reliable, but his standards for people are like this.

That Tang Yin, the one on the left, this person was a little casual, he finished the question in just over an hour, and he actually began to look around, which shows that this rumored genius needs to be sharpened.

That Xu Jing......

Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly.

He apologized to Xu Jing somewhat.

The emperor shouldn't have apologized to people, if he has wronged you, he has wronged you, how will you be? If the king wants his ministers to die, the ministers will die, and most of the sons of heaven have such thoughts under the stars holding the moon and such thoughts.

Emperor Hongzhi, on the other hand, has always been generous and attaches too much importance to human favors.

So when I look at this person with a certain amount of indebtedness, I feel that this person has a good impression on me.

"Your Majesty, it's not too early." An old eunuch came to Emperor Hongzhi and reminded him in a low voice.

Emperor Hongzhi bowed his head and stretched out his hand: "Come, take a look, hey, it's been a long time since I've been sitting so long, old man." ”

This old eunuch's name is Xiao Jing, this person is the eunuch of Bingbi in the palace, the chief eunuch, who has been serving Emperor Hongzhi, and is Hongzhi's most relied on confidant in the palace.

He dragged his fat body, and hurriedly helped Emperor Hongzhi up, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the dragon body is in full bloom, not old, this person, after sitting for a long time, it is inevitable that he will be a little sore." ”

Emperor Hongzhi was noncommittal, but in the depths of his eyes, there was a little anxiety.

"What has the prince been doing lately?"

"Recuperating from his injuries."

Xiao Jing in addition to the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, but also the East Factory, although by the time of the Hongzhi Emperor, the East Factory was almost useless, and was curbed by the Hongzhi Emperor, but with this East Factory, Xiao Jing is still well-informed.

To a certain extent, Xiao Jing is the eyes and ears of Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi had a cold face: "This injury has not healed yet." ”

Xiao Jing only smiled, but did not make a sound.

Emperor Hongzhi trembled and walked a few steps by him, and said, "If you have something to say, don't hide it." ”

Xiao Jingcai opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty has criticized His Highness too harshly, His Royal Highness the Prince, after all, is His Majesty's only son, if there is a slight mistake, this is ......"

"You don't understand!" Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "It is precisely because he is an only son that he has to be harsh, have you seen that Ouyang Zhi?" ”

Xiao Jing was stunned.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "How? ”

Xiao Jing thought for a while: "The slave always feels that he is weird and has no god in his eyes. ”

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "This is called steady, you see me talking to him, when he plays the right game, he is not slow or slow, every time he replies, he swallows slowly, what is this, this is called talking over the head, and then look at the prince, what is this, is this half like me?" You don't see his tail up to the sky. Fang Jifan...... Although he occasionally likes to mess around, when it comes to educating people, there is still a set. ”

Xiao Jing didn't dare to argue anymore, and nodded hurriedly: "What Your Majesty said is very true." ”

Emperor Hongzhi immediately said: "Send someone to Zhan Shifu and tell the prince that I know that his injuries have healed early, so don't pretend to be dead there, and let him go to study in Minglun Hall tomorrow, if he doesn't go, I will really let him not get off the ground." ”

dropped this sentence: "Also, pass on my message, cabinet scholars Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian, enter the palace tomorrow and accompany me to read the papers." ”

……

At this time, Zhu Houzhao was chirping and humming on the couch eating chicken legs, his hands were already greasy, and Liu Jin surrounded him, smiling.

"Come, bring water to drink, Fang Jifan is not a thing, Bengong is seriously injured, and I didn't see him come to visit, did he forget that he was a companion? What has he been doing lately? ”

Although Zhu Houzhao said that he was injured, his face was very ruddy, and the chicken legs were very fragrant, and he soon gnawed into a skeleton, took the water, took a sip, and sucked his fingers very unimagedly: "What kind of bullshit imperial doctor, let him treat the injury, he asked the palace to drink porridge, saying that the big injury has not healed, and he needs to slowly make up for it......"

Liu Jin hurriedly handed the handkerchief to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Highness, didn't you say that the serious injury had not healed?" Then the imperial doctor saw His Highness...... It's not good yet, I thought it was an internal injury, so ...... A little more thoughtful. As for Fang Baihu, his protégés are going to take the temple test today, so ......"

"Oh." Zhu Houzhao lay down and suddenly shouted: "Ouch, my head hurts again, hurry up and go to the Tai Hospital to report the news, go to the imperial doctor, say that the head of this palace hurts again, my father beat me too hard, this time, I am really seriously injured, go." ”

"Oh, oh." In fact, Liu Jin was very worried that he would be arrested and cut off his head because he followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to bully the king, so he seemed very hesitant and couldn't help reminding: "Your Highness, you have to wipe your mouth clean, and there is oil, and the imperial doctor will come later......

"Get out!" ……

…………

Thank you all for your best wishes, and may you all be safe and happy!
