Chapter 337: The Son of Heaven's Thoughts

Mount Tai collapsed on the top and his face did not change, this is the most basic quality that a qualified politician should have, Zhang You has lived two lives before and after, and he thinks he is doing averagely, but he is called a little fox by those old fritters in the officialdom, which sounds like a derogatory component, but in fact, he also agrees with his ability from the side.

After rushing to the Qianqing Palace, Yu Youding, the exam paper, had not yet sent someone to send it over, and Zhu Yijun continued to maintain a tacit understanding with him, chatting for a while, without mentioning the account of the Daming Silver at all.

Yu Youding, a college student of the Prince Taibao Rite Department, Shangshu Wenyuan Pavilion, is the chief examiner of the examination in this world.

According to the functional classification of the examiner in the Ming Dynasty, the chief examiner of the examination belongs to the inner curtain official (note), and his main responsibilities are to produce questions, review papers, decide the admission list, arrange the ranking, and report to the Ministry of Rites.

After the name, the name is recorded, and after proofreading, the examiner will be divided into rooms and pre-selected, and the pre-selected examination papers will be sent to the examiner for review and ranking, and written as a "draft list". After the draft list is drafted, the chief examiner and the official of the Ministry of Rites will preside over the "Zhu Juan" and the candidate's "ink scroll" for "matching", and those with the wrong number will be discarded and not taken.

After the review, the "list" will be carried out, that is, the admission list will be officially determined.

After the examination, there is the palace examination, and the palace examination is an equal evaluation, and only the ranking is determined. In other words, as long as you pass the examination, you already have the status of a jinshi.

The examiner of a session will become the teacher of two or three hundred jinshi, which means that there will be two or three hundred future officials at all levels who will obey you in the Ming Dynasty, which attaches great importance to the way of master and apprentice.

Therefore, the examiner is a fat man, and his interests are not on the surface, but invisible.

Because of this, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty often regarded the examiner as an alternative reward to the officials they valued.

Far from it.

The first topic was strongly requested by Zhu Yijun, and it was understandable to be anxious to take a look, but it was just an extra copy of the primary selection, and when Zhu Yijun's authority was becoming more and more powerful, I don't think anyone had offended the dragon scales because of this.

Seeing that the sun was getting higher and higher, but the person who sent the exam papers had not yet arrived, Zhu Yijun was obviously impatient, and subconsciously muttered: "What's the matter, this Yu Youding, why don't you send the exam papers?" ”

He looked like a naughty boy had dug a trap and was anxious to see someone get hit.

Zhang You wanted to laugh, but the account check and Zhang Weiguang's disappearance pressed on his heart like Mount Tai, and he only curled the corners of his mouth, and then returned to his original state.

"Laugh if you want? When did you become timid? I don't want Zhu Yijun to still keenly notice the slight change in his expression, and said with a glance.

"It's not that Weichen is timid, it's really Your Majesty's might, and there are some things that I don't dare to say for some reason." Zhang You said meaningfully.

"What don't you dare to say? If you want to say it, when there are no outsiders, it's still the same as before, you don't take me as an emperor, and I don't take you as a courtier...... Since you went to Jiangnan, I don't know if you have changed, or if I have changed, I always feel that it is not the same as before. Zhu Yijun said, sighed leisurely, and said: "You don't know, I really don't want to be a 'widow' at all!" ”

"Some things don't just go the way you want. People in the rivers and lakes, they can't help themselves, people are in the temples, why is it not the same? Seeing Zhu Yijun's moved, Zhang You couldn't help but sigh.

Zhu Yijun looked stunned and repeated: "People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves," and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "What a person who can't help himself in the rivers and lakes!" ”

He suddenly understood Zhang You's worries a little, and wanted to take the initiative to mention the matter of checking the accounts, but the words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back somehow.

He couldn't help but think of the situation when he discussed this matter with Sister Wang Xi last night, Sister Wang Xi was also kind, and she didn't want to let him have a misunderstanding between him and Zhang You, hoping that he could take the initiative to say hello to Zhang You, what did he say?

He said that the thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en, and he trusts Zhang You so much, it can be said that he is in his heart, and such a big thing has happened, shouldn't Zhang You take the initiative to tell himself?

He also said that he was willing to check the accounts of the Ming Yin, but after all, it was an industry that developed and grew with his own support, even if no one reported it, wouldn't it be natural to check the accounts regularly?

Naturally, he believes in him and Zhang Zicheng, but what about others? Who would dare to guarantee that Zhang Changshi or Zhang let them have no selfish intentions? If you are really fooled, you will be ridiculed if you will be rumored?

Zhang You, Zhang You, if you really have resentment because of this, then I really misjudged you.

Zhu Yijun thought, but unfortunately Zhang You didn't know what he was thinking, if he knew, I don't know how he would feel?

Zhang You was also silent, not knowing what he was thinking, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

The longer he was silent, the more angry Zhu Yijun became, and for a long time, just when he was about to lose his patience, Zhang You suddenly raised his eyebrows: "By the way, Your Majesty, since the person sent by the old Yu Pavilion to deliver the rolls has not arrived for a long time, why don't we change our outfits and go to the Tribute Courtyard and come to him for a private visit?" ”

"Uh...... You kid held back for a long time, and pondered about this together? Zhu Yijun couldn't cry or laugh, his anger dissipated instantly, remembering the experience of Weifu Miyun at the beginning, and suddenly became interested: "Can it be done?" I don't want to hear those people anymore. ”

"The test is a ceremony for the imperial court, and the Son of Heaven is in person to show his attention, and it will be passed out afterwards, which is also a beautiful talk. When Taizu and his old man opened a branch to take scholars, didn't he also come to the tribute courtyard in person, His Majesty imitated the ancestors, and someone really rapped, and he was blocked back with a word. Zhang You said confidently.

Zhu Yijun smiled: "There are yours," and then changed the conversation: "However, did Taizu really come to the Gongyuan in person?" Why don't I remember? ”

"It's hundreds of years ago, and Weichen actually can't remember it clearly," Zhang You laughed evilly and said: "It's not important, the imperial examination is the way to take scholars established by Taizu, and as the Son of Heaven, I can't pay too much attention to it." There are really people who are more serious, but they can't follow Jiajingye, and they can't beat him with ten canes, and he must be honest. ”

Originally, people are also dignified sons of heaven, the world is his, this is not allowed, this is not allowed, this is not purely full of food and nothing to do, salty and radish do not worry.

Of course, the reason why Zhang You made this suggestion was actually selfish, he wished that someone would trouble Zhu Yijun, and when the time came, there would really be a war of words, and his side would have to be easier than now.

Note: In the Ming and Qing imperial examination systems, there is a difference between the inner curtain official and the outer curtain official during the township examination and the meeting examination, which are collectively referred to as curtain officials. Those who are called curtain officials, because there is a door after entering the public hall, add a curtain to separate it, and enter the curtain later, which is called the inner curtain; Outside the curtain is an outer curtain. The chief examiner (or president) and the same examiner live in the curtain, and the main duty is to mark the papers. Its assistants are in charge of promotion, supervision, and other officials, and are in charge of managing examination papers. The outer curtain is the residence of officials such as supervision, external promotion, supervision and examination, palm collection, transcription, etc. The officers of the outer curtain manage the affairs of the examination room. The inner and outer curtain officials do not interact with each other, and there is business to contact at the door of the inner curtain.
