Yu Chenglong surrendered to Cao Dingjiao and other 'new talents of the imperial party', and his heart was much less uneasy, but he still did not give up, and sent worship posts everywhere in the capital, moving around.

Yu Jackie Chan has a complex background, and many high-ranking officials of the imperial court recommend him, although he is 'assigned', there are still many people who are willing to 'show their feelings'.

The Governor's Yuan, the deputy president, Han Qizhi and a cadre of people all shook their heads when they looked at Yu Chengchan's prayers.

A person who looked like a principal looked at Han Qizhi and said, "My lord, this Yu Chengchan just went to Cao Dingjiao and others, and he must have got some promises." ”

"What's the difference between a promise and a non-commitment? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Cao Dingjiao and others will inevitably enter and exit the prime minister in the future, and Yu Jackie Chan is outside the political academy, and being admitted is already a broad-minded ...... the imperial court."

"If you want me to say, the emperor is still clever, this time the imperial examination, will distinguish all the people with ill intentions, now, it is said that the traffic in front of Cao's mansion is busy, more lively than when Cao Zongbing was in Beijing, this standing in line, but more and more ......"

"Hehe, it's not, the future of Cao Dingjiao and others is only afraid that Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao will go further than Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao......"

Han Qizhi was the squire of the criminal department of the previous dynasty, and he had been in the opposition after forty years of Wanli, and was invited out of the mountain by King Jing and sat in the Governor's Yuan, which can be regarded as a considerable number of people.

Han Qizhi glanced at the few people who were discussing, knocked on the cigarette stick, and said expressionlessly: "Hugh is talking nonsense!" If you dare to discuss national politics again, you will never be spared! ”

Everyone immediately fell silent, this Han Vice Court is King Jing's executioner, it's good that he doesn't speak, if he speaks, he has more prestige than King Jing in the Governor's Yuan!

Han Qizhi got up and left with his hands behind his back. As for Yu Jackie Chan's post, I don't know where he went.

He had been in the Overseer for two years, and he had a calm gaze and a clear view of many things.

This imperial examination is clearly a huge watershed, which is related to the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty and the future of all people in the Ming Dynasty!

He can't judge what the fortunes of the country are, but there are some people he has seen clearly. For example, this is Yu Jackie Chan, I'm afraid that this time I will go out of Beijing and there will be no day to return!

Imperial Palace, Renjuden.

Zhu Xu, Empress Dowager Zhang, Zhang Yun, Li Jieyu, Hai Lanzhu, Xiao Yongning and others all gathered in front of the old lady's bed, their expressions were cautious, holding their breath.

Next to the bed, a gray-haired old man pressed the old lady's pulse and didn't speak for a long time.

Zhu Xu raised his throat in his heart, and he was afraid to see the imperial doctor stand up and shake his head at him.

Empress Dowager Zhang's face was also condensed, frowning, seeing Zhu Xu's appearance, she patted his arm lightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, the old lady is blessed, she won't leave so soon." ”

Zhu Xu didn't think about it, nodded reluctantly, and still looked at the imperial doctor who was taking the pulse of the old lady.

After a long time, the old lady stood up tremblingly, turned around with some difficulty, raised his hand to Zhu Xu and said: "Back to the emperor, the concubine's pulse is low, sometimes and intermittently, although it is dangerous, but tonight should be fine." ”

Zhu Xu frowned suddenly, and said, "Then what will happen after tonight?" ”

The old lady hesitated and said, "The minister will come again tomorrow to check the concubine's pulse." ”

Zhu Xu was about to say more, Zhang Yun gently pulled Zhu Xu's arm and said, "Your Majesty, the old lady is also tired, it is better for the concubine to stay here today, if there is anything, tell the emperor immediately." ”

Zhu Xu frowned, and had a bad premonition in his heart, but there was really nothing to do at this time, so he suppressed his anxiety, waved his hand, and said, "Well, go ahead, the others will also go back, just let me and the queen guard it here." ”

Although Zhu Xu said this, the eyes of the people present turned and they still looked at Empress Dowager Zhang.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhu Xu, her expression moved, she waved her hand quietly, and left with Xiao Yongning.

After Li Jieyu and Hai Lanzhu saluted, they also quietly withdrew.

Zhu Xu sat in front of the bed with a solemn expression. The old lady didn't even babble, and now she didn't move, if it weren't for the occasional ups and downs of the quilt, it would be no different from the ancients.

Zhang Yun glanced at the old concubine with a worried face, turned to Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine keeps watch in the middle of the night, you can sleep for a while." ”

Zhu Xu shook his head and said, "You go to sleep first, in the first half of the night, I will guard." ”

The corners of Zhang Yun's mouth twitched, but he didn't refute, and asked people to prepare some supper, and sat down at the table not far away.

Zhu Xu and his wife took turns looking at the old lady, until the next day, the old lady came, and it took a long time before they said to Zhu Xu: "The old lady's pulse has stabilized, and there should be no major problem in three or five days." ”

Zhu Xu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and while ordering someone to inform the Empress Dowager Zhang and others, they watched for a while, until the Empress Dowager Zhang came, and then they both left.

There are too many affairs inside and outside the palace, big and small things, Zhu Xu has not been idle for a moment, and he came to the cabinet hall after a freshen up in the Qianqing Palace.

The first copy I picked up was information I got from North Korea at the MI. It was said that 20,000 elite soldiers of the Wa Kingdom had passed through the Kanmon Strait, and more and more grain and grass had gathered on the island of Kyukoku, and it was clear that the Tokugawa shogunate wanted to complete the battle and completely solve the Shimabara Rebellion.

Zhu Xu looked at this notebook, groaned, and said, "When will Cao Bianjiao arrive in Beijing?" ”

Cao Huachun turned to the side and said, "Back to the emperor, it is expected to be only one or two days." ”

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, picked up another notebook, and just opened it, Cao Huachun said again: "Your Majesty, the merchant of the Wa Kingdom has been guarded in the post house, and the envoy of the Tokugawa Shogunate will also arrive in Beijing in the next two days." ”

Zhu Xu almost forgot about it, laughed, and said, "They are here, let Fu Tao take them to meet that Tanaka first, this picture must be interesting." ”

Cao Huachun smiled, these two groups of people are both Japanese people, they are still hostile, they are suspicious, and they will not pierce each other, and the scene of meeting must be very funny.

Zhu Xu laughed and opened the notebook in his hand. This is the transcript of the Ministry of Households, saying that the State Administration of Taxation has been formed, and various government decrees are gradually improving, just waiting for the actual announcement, and next year's taxation will be completely handed over to the State Administration of Taxation to be responsible.

Thinking about this script, Zhu Xu said to himself, 'It's still early', and put it aside.

The next thing he picked up was Sun Chengzong's recital, saying that the 'military reform' had been roughly completed, and that all localities were strictly implementing and restricting it, but it would take two or three years to complete and consolidate it, and he planned to return to Beijing before the end of the year, sit in the Generalissimo's Palace, and supervise all localities.

"I'm going to come back in a hurry......"

Zhu Xu shook his head, these people are also old and mature, and they all know that there will be big things at the end of the year, so they came back in a hurry, and they still don't worry about him in the end.

Zhu Xu continued to flip, followed by King Jing and Wang Qiaonian's notebook.

Zhu Xu couldn't help but look seriously, these two are very important to the 'new deal' of the Ming Dynasty, and the two chief officials went down to investigate, so they naturally had another opinion.

The first was that of King Jing, and his recital was full of apprehension, saying that the local Governorate was 'wasteful in everything, and wasted all the time, and although it had authority, it was at a loss and could not be used.'

He also gave a detailed account of what he had seen and heard, as well as the situation of his overt and covert visits to various places, and concluded that 'there is no more superfluous person than this, and the absurdity is better than now'.

Zhu Xu's brows furrowed, and his expression was solemn.

The meaning of King Jing's recital is simple and clear, the Governor's Yuan is actually a group of people leading the court and holding authority, but in fact, they haven't done anything, just eating and waiting for death!

However, King Jing changed his words and said, 'The new government is old and the old is at a loss, although there are bad things, the situation is excusable, and the governor is dominant, and he can fight'.

In other words, these people are all old officials left over from the previous dynasty, and they can't fully understand the 'new policy' in a short period of time, and the governor of a province is the largest, and the Governor's Yuan also looks at the face of the governor's yamen, how can they play a supervisory role?

Zhu Xu put the recital on the table, looked at it, and groaned.

This situation he did not expect, it was not his original intention, but it was the reality. Since ancient times, it has been the official standard, and it is ridiculous to supervise the officials!

However, the Governorate could not be given the authority to be higher than the governor, and at the same time, the power of the magistrate could not be expanded, otherwise the local government would have to be chaotic.

This is a realistic problem in front of Zhu Xu.

"Wait for Elder Bige to return to Beijing, let him come to me." Zhu Xu put together the notebook, picked up Wang Qiaonian, and said casually.

"Yes." Cao Huachun, who was not far away, responded.

Zhu Xu looked at Wang Qiaonian's notebook, and his expression didn't look much better.
