Chongzhen thought that it would be good to have Ning Zhiyuan alone, and it was written at his suggestion, but he didn't think about it, and found two of them, and one was just a cursory mention, but this was enough for Chongzhen.

"Zhong Aiqing looks at the answers I have selected," according to the order, he handed several answers to everyone, Chongzhen's face became more and more bright, and Ning Zhiyuan's answer sheet was in the first place, which meant the champion in his heart.

Everyone originally had no opinions, and some things that had happened recently made them see Chongzhen's maintenance of Ning Zhiyuan, and they had accepted this matter in their hearts, but the moment they looked at the content, it seemed that there were thousands of horses galloping in their ears, and then they looked at the following copies, and their hearts sank to the bottom.

When the article was circulated there, the faces of the officials who read the article changed, and the atmosphere was really a little weird. Push them to the brink of extinction.

Everyone looked at each other, and then knelt down and cried.

"Your Highness, how can such an article be used as a champion's work, it's just nonsense, framing Zhongliang, we are all doing our best, and we are dead, how can it be such a situation as Ning Zhiyuan said."

The closest to Chongzhen was Zhou Yanru, who was also kneeling, Wen Tiren pondered for a while, sighed secretly in his heart, or chose to stand, die or die.

In the eyes of many officials, although there are three people who wrote this article, Ning Zhiyuan is the most important, and Ning Zhiyuan's words are really vicious.

Between the lines is contempt and ridicule for them, and their hearts can be punished.

In their eyes, greed for money and being an official are the same thing, the two are originally one, and they have been studying hard for so many years, and after becoming an official, they know how ridiculous it is to ask for life for the people, thankless, and they may lose their heads at any time.

They had ideals, but they were all submerged in this magnificent court, and now they are fighting for interests every day, and they are tired of it.

Ning Zhiyuan, who made lyrics and songs that can resonate with them, is the biggest enemy in front of them, although they also like the song between the mountains and rivers.

"Ask the emperor to be clear" The officials kowtowed again, making bursts of sounds, just like Zhou Yanru who was above the court at that time, which caused them to think for a while.

The people who raised their heads had bursts of blood marks on their foreheads, Chongzhen was in a trance, feeling that this group of courtiers simply didn't take themselves seriously, and they dared to oppose the champions they designated, so where was his majesty as an emperor? I was even more angry in my heart.

Listening to the words of the officials crying, the candidates who don't understand understand what they understand, it turns out that Chongzhen's heart is this, in the emperor's heart, the biggest problem of Daming is only here, for a while, they are a little disappointed, and they are full of expectations for the next follow-up development, with a trace of luck is Chongzhen's compromise, and the candidate for the champion is to be determined, and I hope that it will always be bigger.

Li Cong's heart was full of ecstasy, he knew that in this case, there must be one of him in the top three, Ning Zhiyuan turned out to be the same answer as him, and he happened to be in front of him to suffer from the mouths and targets of these officials, although he was still a little unconvinced, but at this time, he had to admit that he was indeed just a thing that couldn't be put on the table.

"Do your best? Dead? Ning Zhiyuan sneered.

Since everything has been done, Ning Zhiyuan will not think about showing mercy, and the crying appearance of this group of dozens of years old really makes him laugh.

"We are all loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, how can we allow you, a yellow-mouthed child, to be framed." Angry questioning came from a group of great and selfless people on the other side.

"Then you are now committing a crime, what a great loyal minister." Ning Zhiyuan said disdainfully, "I transferred this son, a powerless scholar, to Ningxia, it is such a loyal minister." ”

"You"

"The year before last, the saint allocated 500,000 stone grain to Ningxia, and only 150,000 or 60,000 stone arrived in Ningxia, what a great loyal minister, my lords, the Ming Dynasty is really proud of you loyal ministers." Ning Daguan sighed with emotion, and nodded at the right time.

That expression was seen in the eyes of the court officials, and how much they owed to be beaten.

The scholars were terrified when they heard this, and those who dared to speak like this on this hall were just that, and they did not have the courage and qualifications to do so.

"It's nonsense, it's pure falsehood, and the Holy One asks to be the master for us." Hubu Shangshu looked at Chongzhen's face darkening, his face was pale with fright, and he kowtowed again and again, crying.

The grain was sent from his hands, and he knew in his heart that he didn't take much, but the entire Beijing official also intercepted 200,000 stones, according to what Ning Zhiyuan said, there were still hundreds of thousands of vacancies left, and it was the credit of the magistrate, which was normal, and even he felt that it was relatively rare to have 150,000 or 60,000 stones left, but who would care about this matter, those officials, either they were not in the same stream, or they were not qualified to face the saint, they should have thought of it a long time ago when there was such a thing today, but they were powerless to stop it.

Chongzhen secretly went to Ningxia last time and they panicked, worried that he knew something, but after he came back, nothing happened, although of course a large part of the reason was that there was a more important thing happening at that time, Chongzhen may not be able to take care of the assassin's affairs, so at this time their hearts were in their throats.

Among all these people, Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru are the most at ease, because he is not greedy for money, he is really not greedy for money, although he also received money, but he was ready.

Chongzhen actually knew that from the case of Wei Zhongxian's eunuchs, he could see what kind of virtue the official underneath was, and such a vicious practice of embedding a nail in his head could be interpreted by this group of people as negligent and hurting people, what else did he not understand? It's just that he also knows that this thing is not easy to do, so he has no choice but to kill them all, and he still points to them to work, as he said in Ningxia Wei and Ning Zhiyuan before, it is not easy to break and stand up, and he can only figure it out slowly like now.

But they thought that Chongzhen didn't know, and looking at Chongzhen's increasingly gloomy face, their hearts began to be bottomless, so they could only admit it.

"Your Highness, this Ning Zhiyuan is pure nonsense, and I hope that the Holy Lord will see it" A large group of old men were crying again, they knew that now they were one, and they could only fight together and play tricks together.

"Do you really want me to see?" Chongzhen snorted coldly.

The old men were a little stunned, this is not like the emperor's character, in this case, Chongzhen has to be mad first and then speak, what does this mean?

They were confused and didn't know how to answer, and they naturally didn't want Chongzhen to investigate when they made up their minds, but it was still okay to check, they still had a lot of room to operate.

After a short period of astonishment, a group of people continued to kowtow and speak, and their tones began to normalize, full of grievances and a sense of substitution, like a group of wronged old men.

"But I went to Ningxiawei last year." Chongzhen glanced at everyone coldly, making their hearts tremble, "I should know, I think I know everything." ”

"Please ask the emperor to see"

"What is your opinion on the champion I have chosen now?" Chongzhen asked.

Chongzhen really has a trick, Ning Daguan laughed secretly in his heart, but in his opinion, Chongzhen, as an emperor who can control the army, doesn't need to be so troublesome to do this kind of thing, just know how to use force, just like Zhu Yuanzhang.

But he didn't, he was worried that no one would work for a while, and Daming would be in chaos, and he wanted to move forward steadily, which might have some effect, but he didn't know if it could be as he wished.

The court officials were stunned, and Chongzhen was waiting for them here, their hearts were full of bitterness, but what else could they say at this time?

"Your Majesty, this Ning Zhiyuan's answer sheet is acceptable as the champion, but the other two still implore the emperor to change people." Zhou Yanru knelt on the ground and said, if the top three are the kind of articles and opinions that criticize officials, then he will lose face in front of these students, this is the next batch of objects he wants to cultivate, he has to earn some face and come back, thinking that losing to Ning Zhiyuan is not once or twice, and this time he still has the support of the emperor, and it is not too embarrassing.

But other people's articles are absolutely not good.

Chongzhen looked at Zhou Yanru and felt that this old man really didn't know each other, and he still came out to find fault with himself at this time, do you still want to establish your majesty?

The eyes of the people around lit up, whether they were officials or scholars, they all had their own ideas, and the officials still knelt, and they kowtowed anxiously again, and said with words in their mouths, "We will reconsider." ”

Li Cong's heart sank, looking at Chongzhen's expression, he felt that Chongzhen might be about to agree, but he sadly found that he couldn't do anything, in comparison, another Li Dingfang, who wrote the same answer sheet, didn't seem to be a little indifferent, he studied hard for more than ten years, and he was away for a long time, and the result is now very good, even if he is only ranked in the top three Jinshi this time, he feels very good.

A group of old men kowtowed neatly, Chongzhen eased his face, although he didn't know the other two at all, oh, Li Dingfang had heard of it a little, but he could see the overall form of the Ming Dynasty and dare to say it above the hall, he was definitely loyal and good, and he couldn't make them chill, but at this time, a group of kneeling old men Chongzhen didn't want to toss with them now, the goal had been achieved, and these two people were just temporary accidents.

"Ning Zhiyuan is the champion, Li Dingfang ranks first in the second class, and Li Cong is second." Chongzhen pondered for a while and said, giving a first, fourth and fifth respectively, which is enough.

The group of officials kneeling at the bottom still wanted to say something, but looking at Chongzhen's face, it was still okay, this emperor was not a good stubble, and it was already very good to be able to win this appearance so far.

"As for Bangyan and Tanhua." Chongzhen glanced at the answer sheet again, thought about it and said, "The eye of the list is Li Ying, Tanhua Wumei Village." ”

Zhou Yanru, this old boy is not honest again, give him some sweetness first, if you dare to raise the bar with yourself, you will definitely not be spared.

Chongzhen remembered that Wu Meicun was elected by Zhou Yanru himself, and their relationship must be not shallow, anyway, their goal has been achieved, and it is good to buy people's hearts for the time being, and Wu Meicun's literary talent is really not weak, but his views are not his own appetite.

At this point, everything is a foregone conclusion, Chongzhen feels that he has taken another step forward on the road of his Zhongxing Daming, and he is overjoyed.

Everyone bowed thanks and retired from the dynasty, some people were happy and some were worried, Ning Daguan belonged to the kind of worried, why didn't this Chongzhen hand over the next volume of that method to himself? Don't you see yourself blinking hard in the lobby?

The champion of Jinke was released, and it was Ning Zhiyuan, there was no kind of celebration of the ten-mile Jincheng, no celebration of the lanterns, and no lively spring breeze, all he did was to go back to the house silently and celebrate with Gu Hengbo.

Although it has also attracted some attention, it is really not too surprising to those scholars, they think that Ning Daguan is talented, and he has a hard relationship with Chongzhen, and there is no reason for him, and there are few ****** in the middle, up and down for thousands of years, but in comparison, what is more eye-catching is his article views.

Since ancient times, articles have been stepping stones, but this time the door was pried open, it was not a brick, it was gunpowder, it was also a cannon, and it was fired at the entire court, surprisingly, the emperor was still happy, so they were puzzled, and then seemed to have an epiphany.

Is the emperor going to start cracking down on the Donglin Party? For many people, this is the gospel, they control the government and how many poor children are not talented, depressed, for the second generation of officials, this is undoubtedly a huge blow, they secretly hate in their hearts, this is the contradiction between the two classes.

There used to be a link in the middle, that is, Zhang Pu, but Zhang Pu's reputation has been discredited recently, although there is still some support from the people who have been restored to the society, but they can no longer find a way out for these poor people to find a relationship, so Chongzhen's approach at this time has greatly won the love of ordinary scholars.

When the list was released, the list of the palace examination was almost the list of the exam, but the ranking had changed, and the emperor had always only selected the top three on the palace exam, but this time it was the top five, until the list was posted, Li Cong finally breathed a sigh of relief, this kind of result is also excellent for him.

Raise your eyebrows and return home.

Li Ying's answer sheet only slightly mentioned some bad habits of officialdom, although this is also fatal in ordinary times, but under the sharp backdrop of Ning Daguan's article, he is like a supple sheep, and people on both sides are not very disgusted with him, so he became a role model, and he was very satisfied.

He can think of Chongzhen's meaning, just as a child of an official family, this is the biggest thing he can do, but he can't be a pit father's son, he is glorious to his ancestors, no surprise he should be in Hanlin to cultivate, get Chongzhen's but respect, and then enter the cabinet after a few years? A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

In Gu Hengbo's heart at this time, Ning Zhiyuan really couldn't use common sense to speculate, but no matter what, the world couldn't find such a good man in such a well-dressed beast, she knew that her time to leave Beijing was approaching, and she was a little nervous invisibly, if she didn't like his ladies, what should she do?

She thinks left and right, and feels that she is not a woman who can please women. (To be continued.) )
