Although Ma Wensheng thought so, he didn't dare to believe it.

I just think that what is written in this volume is a bit arrogant, he doesn't like arrogant people, and most importantly, this article is really a bit naïve.

How could he believe that Li Long, as the lord of a country, could not even control the Korean state, so he dared to kill the killer like this?

Although this person is brutal, according to common sense, the more brutal the tyrant, the more he will buy his henchmen, not to mention that in the Jiazi disaster, it is the army that does it, and these people will in turn turn attack Li Long, who is inferior to pigs and dogs?

Ma Wensheng sneered, I don't know who wrote the volume, it's still too young, young people love to talk and make high-level comments.

Shaking his head, he put the scroll aside nonchalantly.

…………

Early the next morning, the British Duke Zhang Mao, the military secretary Ma Wensheng, and the imperial horse eunuch Chen Sheng entered the palace to meet him.

There is no need to release the results of the examination of Tao Strategy, but His Majesty needs to personally inspect it, in order to find good talents from among the children of the nobles.

After a brief period of depression, Emperor Hongji finally regained his vitality.

The days have to go on, although he once lamented that the tigers and wolves of the Ming Dynasty have disappeared and become a group of sheep, but what can be done? He is the king and the head of everyone's family, and this responsibility and consequences can only be borne by himself.

Since you can't ride and shoot, you want to come to Taoluo...... It's still okay.

Emperor Hongzhi recruited cabinet scholars, as well as scholars from various ministries, all of whom were his own ministers of the humerus! As for Zhang Mao, needless to say, after the gate, the tiger father has no dogs. And the eunuch Chen Sheng, the eunuch of the imperial horse, is in the palace, and the status of the eunuch is worse than that of the celebrant eunuch, but because he is in charge of the horse administration in the palace, especially the warrior camp directly under the palace, the candidate for the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse eunuch is bound to be the most trusted person of the Hongzhi Emperor, and this person also needs to have a certain understanding of military affairs.

"Have you picked out all of Tao's strategic questions?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Ma Wensheng with a smile on his face.

Ma Wensheng has been feeling weak recently, and seems to feel that he is becoming more and more useless, and he can't do anything well, as if he has been guilty of Tai Sui since the year before last, and everything is not going well!

At this time, he barely cheered up and replied: "Your Majesty, it has been selected, a total of ten articles, and please look at it." ”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said, "There is Lao Qing's family." ”

These ten articles must be the result of discussions between Ma Wensheng, Zhang Mao, and Chen Sheng, and they can almost represent the highest level of military attachés.

When Chen Sheng personally sent Cewen to Emperor Hongzhi's imperial case, Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head and looked seriously.

Each of these articles can be regarded as the best of the best, so the level is not bad.

This made Emperor Hongzhi constantly nod his head, and there were even a few articles, even he felt outstanding, so that he couldn't help but have some comfort in his heart, these world lords, although they can't ride and shoot, but they are still tiger fathers and no dogs, and there are still some excellent people.

After reading ten articles in a row, Emperor Hongzhi gradually became cheerful, and said with a smile: "Not bad." ”

Although he said the word good lightly, he was satisfied.

Zhang Mao hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, these ten articles are good, but most of them are mediocre, and there are a lot of questions about Tao Strategy, but they can't answer." ”

Emperor Hongzhi knew it in his heart, but he didn't get angry.

The last time he rode and shot, he was disappointed, so now, on the contrary, he doesn't have too high requirements for these lords, and most of them can't answer, it seems that ...... Ay...... That's all there is to it.

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly remembered something and asked, "Can Fang Jifan go to the exam?" ”

"Your Majesty, I've taken the test." Marven ascended.

Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head and looked at these ten essays carefully, but there was no name of Fang Jifan on them, so Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "He must have answered badly." ”

"This ......" Ma Wensheng didn't know what to say.

Fang Jifan, this guy, still has a level, otherwise where did those six outstanding disciples come from?

In this policy, Ma Wensheng also deliberately looked for Fang Jifan's answer, only to realize that he had personally reviewed his policy, and he eliminated it himself.

How can I say it, Fang Jifan's policy essay is too naïve on the issue of the conquest of Korea.

Of course, Ma Wensheng is not good at judging Fang Jifan with this word in front of others, on the one hand, he also knows in his heart that Fang Jifan is extraordinary today, although he does not agree, but he has no confidence to judge him.

On the other hand, it is because the matter of going to the West now is all pinned on Fang Jifan's protégé.

To be honest, if even Xu Jing sinks into the sand and folds this time, then ...... The days really can't be passed, and at that time, he, the secretary of the military department, will become a monstrous sinner.

It can be said that in the entire Ming Dynasty, there is no one like Ma Wensheng who hopes that Fang Jifan is a reliable person, because Fang Jifan is reliable, so that he can feel at ease, at least ...... In this way, his protégé will be relatively reliable.

At this time, he thought for a while and said: "Xinjian Bo played a little abnormally this time, and the minister carefully read his article and examined it carefully, and always felt that there were some details that were inappropriate. Naturally, his essays are incomparable to ordinary people, but the minister thinks that these ten essays are more desirable. ”

Emperor Hongzhi was interested, and couldn't help but say, "Really? In that case, then take it, I want to see how he is playing out of order. ”

Others also aroused interest, Liu Jian actually thought that Fang Jifan would definitely be selected this time, he saw people very accurately, but in Fang Jifan, he made repeated mistakes, and then he understood that he couldn't look at this person with ordinary eyes.

Of course, what pleased him the most was that His Majesty seemed to intend to make his son a scholar because of his son's merits.

If you want to be an official, you still need the imperial examination, but this is a glory, Liu Jian can be regarded as having a light on his face, and if he calculates it, isn't this a gift from Fang Jifan?

Fang Jifan...... This man...... It's still very good, this article was not selected, although as a member of the cabinet first assistant, but naturally my heart is also biased!

So Liu Jian said: "What Your Majesty said is that Fang Jifan has repeatedly made a splash and spoken very much, but in hindsight, he found that this person is talented. ”

Ma Wensheng was slapped in the face, couldn't help but glance at Liu Jian resentfully, and said silently in his heart, Liu Gong, we are in a group.

But Liu Gong ignored him, which made Ma Wensheng's feelings of loss even worse.

The panting eunuch quickly took Fang Jifan's strategy.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at it, wasn't this policy what Fang Jifan had said in his previous secret recital? No wonder Ma Wensheng didn't select this article, the judgment and the method of using soldiers here are indeed too simple and naïve!

Naturally, Emperor Hongzhi faintly felt in his heart, maybe Fang Jifan really guessed right again?

He was silent for a while, but Liu Jian showed great interest, and said, "Your Majesty, you might as well order the ministers to take a look." ”

Emperor Hongzhi bowed, Chen Sheng stepped forward to take the text and handed it to Liu Jian, Liu Jian frowned after reading it, and he was a little uncertain for a while.

After thinking about it, he said: "If Fang Jifan's plan works, it will be of great benefit to my Ming Dynasty, and now it is difficult for the imperial court to ride a tiger and conquer North Korea, which is really unwise, but if it is not collected, the face of the heavenly family will be lost, the etiquette will collapse, and the consequences will be more serious." ”

He smiled bitterly and continued: "If you really don't have to spend a single soldier, you can take Li Long and come to the court to punish the crime, it will be gratifying." However, this policy is indeed a bit absurd, thinking about things too simply, no wonder Ma Shangshu feels inappropriate, not to mention how to conquer North Korea in the Taoluo question, he is not good at answering the question, but the answer is not what he asked......"

As he spoke, he suddenly changed his words: "But the old minister thinks that this plan is not impossible. Of course, it is impossible for the imperial court to carry out this strategy, the risk is too great, and if it fails, it will become a laughing stock. It's a pity, it's a pity for Fang Jifan......"

He felt sorry for Fang Jifan, and even moved in his heart, feeling ...... It would be a great joy to be able to carry out this plan and succeed.

But Fang Jifan shouldn't answer here, because this kind of thing can't be verified, and no matter how conclusive your answer is, it's tantamount to saying it in vain.

Emperor Hongzhi also bowed his head and said: "Yes, it's a pity." ”

However, Xie Qian said happily: "Recently, Fang Jifan has jumped too much, if he doesn't press it, his tail will jump to the sky, and now he has not hit the strategy, which can be regarded as a kind of wake-up call, so as to teach him not to get carried away." ”

And they all laughed.

Even Zhang Mao smiled and said, "This guy is a monster......

Emperor Hongzhi had some regrets before, but then he was also happy, and felt that Xie Qian's words were reasonable, so he said: "In this case, I will reward them according to the good talents proposed by the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the Military Department and the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and give them gold belts......"

Everyone said: "Obey the order!" ”

Although Liu Jian responded to Emperor Hongzhi's words, he was still very sorry in his heart, he was now dizzy for the recruitment of money and food and people, Fang Jifan's method was the simplest and most direct, although it was very risky, but for some reason, he now has a different kind of trust in Fang Jifan.

This person's perspective on the problem is different from that of others.

So when he came out of the warm pavilion, he returned to the cabinet, and he couldn't help but chat with Li Dongyang!

Li Dongyang looked thoughtful, as the concurrently serving head of the household department, he was reluctant to pay or give up food, Fang Jifan's policy opened a new door for him, and he actually began to think: "Liu Gong, what do you think of Fang Jifan's policy?" ”

"I can't tell." Although he was also a little moved, Liu Jian was still very cautious: "After all, it can't be verified, but many of these insights are very unique, perhaps...... It's not impossible. ”
