Originally, when he heard Yang Su praise his exploits, Gao Qiqian was quite complacent, and he was also very satisfied with himself, and led the forbidden army to quell the wanton raids of the rogues internally, complete the emperor's secret decree, behead the thief, resist the Qing Dynasty externally, and achieve a great victory. The last eunuch who was so powerful was the Three Treasures eunuch of this dynasty, and now our family can also leave a name in history and be a leader among eunuchs.

When he heard Yang Su ask if he was complaining about him at the end, Gao Qiqian was so frightened that he knelt down with a blank face, kowtowed again and again and begged for mercy in panic: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare!" ”

"Don't dare? Does that mean you must still be complaining in your heart? Yang Su sneered.

"The emperor is clear, the slave and maid absolutely did not complain about the emperor, the slave and maid were originally a servant in the palace, and the grace of the emperor can have today, the slave and maid tremble every day and dare not have the slightest neglect, for fear of losing the emperor's trust, how dare they resent the emperor!" High up and submersible and kowtow.

"Then where did you get the 20,000 taels of silver and those large boxes of treasures?" Yang Su asked coldly.

Gao Qiqian collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down his eyes and begging: "The emperor spares his life, the slave and maid don't dare anymore!" The slave and maid are willing to dedicate all their family property to the emperor, and only ask the emperor to surround the slave and maid's life! ”

Yang Su snorted coldly, at that time, the red lady cleaned up the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, Yang Su ordered to clean up the mess behind the potential, distribute the land to the people, and punish the remaining gentry for the crime of collaborating with the enemy, but also to avoid local officials from interfering in the chaos, which is naturally needless to say. Gao Qiqian collected 10,000 taels of silver in Nanjing alone.

"I know you like silver, and the amount I pay you is a little lower! But what I give you is yours, I don't give it to you, you can't rob it! Yang Su got up and stood with his hands in his hands and said lightly.

"The slave is guilty, the slave is guilty! Ask the emperor for forgiveness! "Gao Qi's scalp has been broken.

It's not just Gao Qiqian, Yang Su's words are not knocking on others. If you want eunuchs not to be greedy for money, it is absolutely impossible, Yang Su also knows that if the water is clear, there is no fish, the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit, Yang Su is the boss, and there is a younger brother below who dies for him, in order to rely on him to get rich?

It's just that Gao Qiqian's guts are a little too fat, and he collected tens of thousands of taels of silver plus a few large boxes of treasures when he went out, although those were given to him by others, and this guy didn't dare to disobey Yang Su's orders to shoot at the people, but Yang Su still had to beat him from time to time.

"Humph!" Yang Su snorted coldly, and sighed for a long time: "You are also an old man who has been with me for many years, I don't want to see you lose a lot because of a small loss, and receiving some money is a trivial matter, but if you fall deeper and deeper, then I will be affectionate, but the law of the country cannot tolerate you." Now that you are in a position of power and the whole world is staring at you, if you really make a big mistake in the future, I will not be able to save you! ”

"The slave maid really deserves death, only then did I understand the emperor's hard work, and the slave maid also asked the emperor to give the slave and maid another chance, and the slave and maid will not dare to commit it again." Gao Qiqian said with a sobbing voice.

"Get up." Yang Su greeted angrily.

Gao Qiqian was still lying on the ground, sobbing in his mouth.

Yang Suyi frowned and shouted, "What's the matter, do you want me to help you personally?" ”

"The slave didn't dare. Slave and maid thank the emperor for not killing! Gao Qiqian hurriedly got up.

"Do things for me well in the future, I am not a mean and unkind person." Yang Su said lightly.

"The slave understands." Gao Qiqian was so frightened today that he was very honest and nodded again and again.

"If you have merit, you will be punished, I remember your merits, I originally promised you to wait until you assisted Qin Liangyu in training soldiers for me, and then promoted you to be the commander of the capital to revitalize the three major battalions of the capital for me, but now it seems that you still train the forbidden army for me!" Yang Su narrowed his eyes: "The position of the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor is vacant, and you will take it in the future!" ”

"The slave and maid will thank the emperor for his grace, and the slave and maid will definitely train the forbidden army for the emperor in the future." Gao Qiqian was overjoyed.

"Chengen, Huang Degong is now the commander of the Jingwei Command Department in the capital, and you will supervise the army on behalf of me and assist Huang Degong in revitalizing the three major battalions." Yang Su ordered Wang Chengen again.

"Slave Command!" Wang Chengen knelt down to receive the order.

The three battalions and five military battalions of the capital have one member of the Admiral's ministers, the 3,000 battalions have two members of the Admiral's Ministers, and the Shenji Battalion has two members of the Admiral's Ministers. Among the three major battalions of the Beijing Army, there are five permanent commanders and ministers, six camp ministers, and 20 gun supervisors, all of whom are eunuchs and young eunuchs from the imperial horse prison.

Yang Su has already handed over the forbidden army to Gao Qiqian, and the three major battalions in the capital naturally can't interfere with Gao Qiqian.

waited until Gao Qiqian and Cao Huachun retreated, and then Xiao Ming was summoned to come again.

"Chen Xiaoming, see the emperor!" Xiao Ming saluted Yang Su.

"No rudeness!" Yang Su first asked Xiao Ming to get up, and then asked, "How are you preparing for the imperial examination?" ”

Now it is also August 10, Yang Su previously ordered August 15 to open Enke to take scholars, pay equal attention to civil and military, and take 3,000 tributes and 300 martial scholars. Now there are no less than 100,000 scholars and warriors gathered in the capital, and there was a delay because of the entry of the Qing soldiers. Today, Yang Su is going to ask Xiao Ming about the exam questions.

Xiao Ming understood why Yang Su asked him to come, and took the initiative to present the test paper and asked Yang Su to take a look.

Yang Su took the test paper from Wang Chengen's hand, spread it out on the table, and took a closer look.

Xiao Ming still has a very clear grasp of Yang Su's intentions, although he did not completely cancel the Bagu Wen, but compared with the previous imperial examination, the proportion of the Bagu Wen was greatly reduced. It also adds strategy and arithmetic. Judgment reasoning, language expression, and the law of the Ming Dynasty and related topics. It can be said that it is completely possible to rely on this exam to eliminate candidates who can only read.

Xiao Ming's actions undoubtedly made Yang Su very satisfied.

"The emperor has more than 30,000 candidates who have signed up for the imperial examination this time, an unprecedented number. Please rest assured, but the minister has already prepared everything! Xiao Ming said.

Yang Su nodded, this Enke took 3,000 scholars at a time, which is ten times more than usual, which is crazy for those scholars in the world who failed to pass the exam.

"I heard that the DPRK and China have criticized this? And accuse you, as the chief examiner, of presiding over the sale of review materials at this time, and even indicating that there is content to be examined, which is tantamount to cheating? Yang Su said lightly.

"Emperor Shengming, some ministers in the court are worried about taking so many jinshi this time, I am afraid that there are not so many official positions to appoint. And this time is the majority of the students of our country's eunuchs, and the ministers are not abandoned by the emperor and added as the chief examiner this time, so it is inevitable that there will be villains behind their backs, but the ministers are dedicated to selecting talents for the emperor, and some rumors are not to be feared.

As for the fact that the sale of review materials is indeed true, the minister thinks that in addition to the Guozijian, there will be talents in the wilderness, and if the talents from all over the country fail to be elected because they do not know the new rules of the imperial examination, they will really live up to the emperor's painstaking efforts. Xiao Ming said

Yang Su nodded and affirmed: "But it is Lao Cheng's words to seek the country, you can rest assured to do things, and I will solve it internally!" ”
