Zhang Juzheng nodded lightly and asked, "Let me ask you another question, if you tell Your Majesty about Cao Yufei being instructed by Tian Yi to steal the exam questions, what do you think Your Majesty's reaction is?" Can Tian Yi be taken down in one fell swoop? ”

"The leakage of exam questions is a top priority, and it is more than enough for the Nine Clans." Zhang You said that he knew that Zhang Ju was mentioning himself, so he deliberately said so.

Zhang Juzheng smiled meaningfully: "What you said is a normal situation, it doesn't seem to be comparable at the moment, right?" First of all, Tian Yi will definitely not admit that he instructed him, after all, that Cao, Cao Yufei is, but Cao Aijin's righteous son, if you don't get it right, you have to beat him up, saying that you deliberately framed him. This is one of them, and the other is that my father has heard that when you reminded His Majesty that the exam questions had been leaked, His Majesty persuaded him when he was angry, and the ceremony was already halfway through, so it was not appropriate to publicize this matter in a big way. This kind of attitude is very old-fashioned, and my father is actually very relieved after hearing about it.

You have come down from the position of earl, and after more than half a year of training, you have become much more mature than you were at the beginning. Now that he has become the governor of the same country, he is always in charge of the brocade clothes, and his father is actually very relieved of you. I guess, you already have a plan, and you're just a little worried about coming here at the moment.

Now that you have thought about the cause and effect of this matter, in a word, you can do what you need to do, and there is no need to hesitate. My father only tells you one sentence, the political struggle is not visible, but it is more cruel, if you don't move, you will go straight to the point, do you understand the meaning of being a father? ”

"Thank you father for the reminder, the child has been taught!" Zhang You thanked him sincerely, picked up another piece of dim sum and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Well," Zhang Juzheng bowed slightly, and took the initiative to change the topic: "Is there a letter from Yun Xiu?" You are now in charge of Jinyiwei, and it is estimated that you will not be able to return to Nanjing, what are your plans for the affairs of Jiangnan? ”

"Yun Xiu hasn't heard from him for a while, but according to the child's news channels, that kid Chong knows that the county is impressive, and his father doesn't have to worry about it. As for the plan, the child actually still wants to go back to Jiangnan, and there are still a lot of things gone (liao). However, this matter still has to be up to Your Majesty, waiting for Concubine Ning to give birth, the child asked His Majesty what he meant, and I don't know if he is willing to let the child go. Once he didn't let go, the child decided to recommend Luo Sigong to go to Jiangnan, he got along well with the child, and the child still trusted him very much. ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded silently, and suddenly said, "By the way, listen to Ruoxuan, you Gewu Institute has a heat engine?" ”

"Father forgot to tell you that just a few days ago, the latest generation of hot gas engines has been successfully tested, driving five looms to run continuously for more than five hours, and the output is several times that of manual operation."

Zhang Juzheng's excited eyebrows were raised: "So powerful?" I've heard that it uses the heat generated by boiling water, right? In the future, it will be promoted in large quantities, but there will be no way for those weavers to live. After a pause: "You must be cautious about this, don't blindly pursue high yield, and people's livelihood should also be taken into account." There are more than a million weavers in Jiangnan, and if all of them are replaced by your heater at once, these people will become a factor of social instability. ”

In the end, he was the one who had been the first assistant, and in addition to being excited, he suddenly grasped the key to the matter.

Zhang You nodded again and again when he heard this: "What my father said is that the child really hasn't thought about this problem, and he will definitely be cautious when promoting it in the future." ”

"That's very good." As he spoke, Zhang Juzheng subconsciously yawned, he was getting older, he couldn't compare to a young man, and his face was tired.

Seeing this, Zhang You hurriedly said: "It's not early, father, rest early, and the child will come to see you tomorrow." ”

Zhang Juzheng didn't keep it, and nodded: "Ruoxuan, send your brother to them, and I won't go out as a father." ”

It was already the fourth watch day after coming out of the Taifu Mansion, and when he got into the carriage, Wei Guigui asked, "Dongjia, shall we go back to the house?" ”

"No, go to the Ministry of Rites!" Zhang You said directly.

Wei Guigui didn't say anything more, and with a flick of the whip, the carriage moved sparklingly.

In the carriage, Li Yan asked: "What are you doing in the Ministry of Rites, don't you know how the people you care about are doing in the exam if you inquire about the list early tomorrow morning!" ”

"I don't care how they do in the exam, I'm listening to my father's advice to arrest people."

"Go, that's your father, not my father...... Arrest? Why didn't I hear him suggest that? ”

"Isn't my father your father?" Zhang You stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Li Yan's waist, and groped on her slightly fat soft lower abdomen, and the other hand was not idle, directly buckled her plumpness.

"Hmmm......"

The lively Dongjiang Rice Alley suddenly fell silent, and it turned out that four officials of the Ministry of Rites in green robes walked out of the gate of the Ministry of Rites surrounded by a group of soldiers carrying lanterns.

Finally waited for the list to come, and everyone waited eagerly, but they didn't hear a sound.

The green-robed official stepped on the ladder to post the white paper list, turned around and entered the ceremonial department, without making any sound during the whole process, the whole process was fast and solemn, as if he was carrying out some kind of sacred ritual.

It is indeed sacred, there are no less than thousands of people present, this is just a part of the candidates, and the rest are the kind of pretending to be calm, even if they don't come, they will be sleepless all night tonight for this list.

From today onwards, those who are on the list will have jumped over the dragon gate, while those who are not selected will have to wait another three years. Three years and three years, reading people for many years, isn't it just for this day?

Dare not be cautious, dare not be solemn?

After the officials and soldiers left, the candidates spontaneously rushed to the bottom of the list, perhaps for their convenience to see the list, the soldiers left many lanterns, and some people had already raised them high.

"Ah, congratulations to Brother X, it's high school!"

"Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless, I hope it is on the list, I hope it is on the list!"

"I'm in, I'm in, the ancestors are manifest."

…… Different from the silence just now, the scene was chaotic, there were those who whispered the names on the list, those who found their acquaintances to congratulate them, those who found their names and shouted excitedly, and those who couldn't find themselves and cried, all kinds of moods, and so on.

Of course, not everyone crowded under the list to look around, Jiang Yuhan at least didn't move, and Zhao Dongzhi and Li Tingji didn't move either.

These people are some of them who think very highly of themselves or are particularly sure of it for other reasons, it's not that they know that they will win, but they just feel that they must be hit, but they dare not come forward to watch, similar to that kind of homesickness and cowardice at work, but I am afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

However, they didn't sit on the seats honestly, but stood on the railing together, which is indeed the same, silently watching the bustling crowd under their feet performing to unveil the faces of all beings, for a long time, Zhao Dongzhi suddenly said: "Brother He, didn't you say that you want to compete, guess which side of us has more people?" ”

"Then who knows?" may be a little nervous, He Jigao's voice is a little dry.

"Let's make a bet, there are seven people on our side, and you will also push seven people out, and the one with the most names on the list wins, how about it?"

"Bet on what?" He Jigao didn't ask for other people's opinions, and agreed on the spot. They are all scholars, and the so-called literature is the first, and Li Tingji naturally has no objections.

"How about betting on a thousand taels of silver?"
