On this day when there was nothing special, from the streets and alleys to the court and clansmen, they all put down the big and small things in their hands, and only discussed one thing wholeheartedly, and Dingyuan Hou was going ashore.

Marquis Dingyuan, in the year of the weak crown, entered the enemy camp alone, and in less than two months, he occupied the magpie's nest, and successfully mastered the team of the sea thief Li Jin. It also developed the South Seas, promoted the prestige of our army, built weapons islands, opened banks, and single-handedly strengthened the country and enriched the people, and more than doubled the revenue of the state treasury within a few years.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty, surprisingly strong and the people became rich, because the treasury was abundant, not only has not increased taxes for several years, but even reduced taxes in many places this year, after unanimous discussion by the cabinet, this year it was passed, the Shanxi border area will never be taxed, and there are subsidies for military status, which is unprecedented for a thousand years!

For a time, the land of Shanxi was jubilant, and the leadership of the Qi Kua court was good, and every household offered the immortal tablet of the Jiajing Emperor, begging this benevolent monarch to really cultivate and become an immortal and live a long life, because in this way this decree can be implemented forever. The great Jiajing Emperor has thus become the father of the emperor in the hearts of the literati and the people.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty, the people have food to eat, and it is not difficult to eat meat during the New Year's Festival, south of the Yangtze River, everyone has a piece of Ayaluo, in the treasury, through the decay of Su Chen, enough to cope with the catastrophe of more than three years.

It is also a good piece of border form, the court has money, naturally the first to invest in the border pass, the Great Wall has been repaired every year, built every year, as if there is never a day to finish, the people of the Ming Dynasty do not like to do this work, the construction is all slaves from the sea. Looking up, it was as high as a hill, and the Tatars were only desperate, and after three months, they couldn't find a breakthrough, and they wanted to attack it, and the whale oil artillery didn't seem to cost money, except for sending dead farts.

You say a detour to attack the mountain customs? Don't be funny, that place is on the coast, which Tatar dares to go to the beach to live now?

I heard that the shameless magistrates in various places have begun to offer auspicious rui in batches, what snow-white deer, two heads of Ganoderma lucidum, golden pigs, as if mushrooms have sprung up overnight, there is a little bit of literary talent, but also to write a warehouse of flattering articles, what Yao Shunyu soup, wise and martial, holy tomorrow, love the people, Bao Yuan Xude, in short, to be more fleshy and more fleshy, if this is a few years earlier, without the minister to scold, Jiajing himself will have to be disgusted enough first.

But now, not only Jiajing happily accepted it, but also the imperial history of the Manchu Dynasty, and no one said half a word of nonsense.

In addition to Jiajing, the person who the people are most grateful to is not Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, but the Marquis of Dingyuan, who is far overseas.

Even the scoundrels in Xialiba Township know that they can have such a prosperous world, thanks to the ability of Dingyuan Hou to turn stones into gold.

This is not not unknowing, a calculation of a startle, break your fingers to calculate, at this time Dingyuan Hou, actually monopolized glass, weapons, banks, soap, rubber, shipping, etc., etc., countless kinds of goods, it can be said that Yuefu sneezed, the entire Ming business has to jump, more than two million people rely on him or his business to eat, forty percent of the wealth of the people is in Jiangnan, and forty percent of the wealth of Jiangnan is in his hands, and sixty percent is in his bank.

Unconsciously, Dingyuanhou, who was in the year of the weak crown, had grown to such a point.

For Xiaotian's landing, for ordinary people, it is just a conversation after tea and dinner, but for the court, it is the top priority of Jiajing Yuji. Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, no one can say for sure, but it is certain that the court will inevitably be shaken greatly.

It is a good thing that the Marquis of Dingyuan, who has huge energy, is finally no longer alone overseas, although he is still powerful, but he can finally control it, and it falls from above, everyone feels that if the Marquis of Dingyuan is allowed to be an official in the court, he will definitely be able to make more awesome political achievements.

It is said that it is a bad thing, just because from now on, there will inevitably be one more person among the giants of the court, which will inevitably break the situation that the court has finally stabilized, and also add a bit of trouble to the increasingly fierce matter of seizing the heir.

At this time, the protagonist of the world, Dingyuan Hou Lotian, was crooked on the bed with Lu Rui, using a beautiful glassware and a bowl of peeled skin, looking like a pleasing grape.

Oh, now it's time to hand over the Yuan Duke, three days before he went ashore, he was successfully upgraded, and became the only person who has been crowned alive since he became an ancestor, if it weren't for his too young age, it would not be impossible to be crowned king directly.

Lu Rui said: "Husband, you see that this duke has also been sealed, you have been in Kyoto for half a month, why hasn't the imperial court come down yet?" I'm going to give you some kind of official. ”

Xiao Tiandao: "It is estimated that they also have a headache, I'm afraid they all wish that Lao Tzu would hold the position of a prince of the country and raise it at home every day." ”

Lu Rui said: "That's good, over the years, you have been very busy, since we got married, it is the first time that you have stayed at home for so long, and the concubine really wants you to stay at home all the time, don't be an errand." As long as this sea is still in our hands, I don't believe anyone will dare to despise our family."

Xiao Tiandao: "Li'er is such a li'er, but I retire at this age, it's not interesting, in two days, I will go to the emperor, how can I be an idle little official." ”

Lu Rui smiled: "Heh, I'm really worried about the emperor's uncle, you are a duke, what kind of official can you be, since ancient times, you have been an official first and then knighted, you are good, but you have achieved the title first before you want to be an official, but where is the right seat for you?" Naturally, it can be delayed. ”

Xiao Tiandao "Hehe, if you want to delay, I'm afraid it's not so easy, haven't you forgotten that your husband and I have another identity in addition to the Duke of the Kingdom." ”

Lu Rui said: "Another identity? What is it? ”

Xiao Tiandao: "Stupid! Your husband and I are gentle, but I have studied hard for ten years, and I am a talented man with 800 children. ”

Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Husband, don't you want to。。。。。。 “

Xiao Tiandao: "Yes, it seems that it is the spring of March, and it is said that reading is only for merit and fame, and the master always has to run for fame, when the time is above the main hall, the Jinshi assigns positions, I want to see the emperor's expression, hahahaha." “

Lu Rui couldn't help but smile and said, "What are you doing, is it fun?" ”

Xiao Tiandao: "Haha, you like two things most in my life, one is to pretend to be forced, and the other is to slap my face, now that I am famous all over the world, it is probably difficult to slap my face, but pretending to be such a fun thing, how can I miss it, is there anything more pretending to be forced than Dingyuan Hou going to the examination room?" ”

Lu Rui was helpless, but she had to go with him.

He pretended to be cool here, but he didn't know how many people were almost crazy with his move.

The news spread, ordinary people don't have anything, they all know, although Dingyuan Hou has extraordinary ability, but there is always a wave of extraordinary people, to put it bluntly, it is like being sick, from time to time to smoke, the most typical is that he and Lu Rui have a lifelong contract, the garden poetry competition that pretended to be slapped in the face, it is said that the Xie Yuan who ridiculed him at the beginning, no one was willing to buy even selling paintings, and the mix was worse than Tang Bohu, as for the imperial examination, don't even think about it, just kidding, who dares to admit this person who even Dingyuan Gong has beaten? Especially the reason why he beat people is that Dingyuan Gong is not talented, so what is he not a mallet?

Therefore, the common people are used to it, and they just talk about it when they are having fun.

The first batch of crazy people were the ministers who first heard the news, such as Yan Song, Huang Jin, Xu Jie and others. This kid is too unreasonable to play cards, imagine, this kid is wearing a lifting uniform, standing on the main hall, bowing his hand, you say how do you let us be?

They are just that, but what is even crazier is that these people who rushed to take the exam at the same time, there are those who boast of being the champions, they are crying one after another, because in this session, no matter how talented you are, the champions are all specially determined, you haven't had a place to reason, in the past, thousands of troops and horses competed for the champion, but now they can only compete for the top spot.

That's it, even crazier than them are the big and small officials of the Ministry of Rites, especially the chief examiners and examiners.

Although the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty was very avoidable, and the children of the eunuchs often couldn't get in even if they were talented, but there were those who were all over the world who were not among them, such as Yang Tinghe's son Yang Shen, everyone said that Yang Dacai's failure to win the champion was fraud.

When he arrives at Le Ming, does it need to be said, if he doesn't win the champion, this champion will not commit suicide on the spot? Who dares to go ahead of the exclusion? If he doesn't win the championship, the examiner must not throw away the official hat on the spot? What kind of official should such a person with eyes and beads be?

What the? You said that Chunfu is a joke, and he is not qualified to participate in the show?

Let's pull it up, who dares to bring it up, Lotte's temper, can really go back to Shao-Xing's hometown to pretend again, you want us to suffer two sins. As a result, the court from Jiajing to the small officials collectively ignored such a big loophole, and since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it was the first time that there was such arrogance and blatant fraud.

These days, the entire Ministry of Rites has done nothing else, and they all went to Yuefu to ask for words wholeheartedly, if nothing else, his dog crawling words are worthless, just to recognize his handwriting.

The imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty were all famous, and no one knew which paper was his, although he could tell him the exam questions and even the standard answers in advance, anyway, no one cared whether he cheated or not, but according to the temperament of this master, who knows if he will copy the answers on the papers? In case he didn't copy it and fell off the list, it would be embarrassing to batch the papers.

For a time, the price of the little innocent works skyrocketed.

However, they are really too worried, they don't need to read and write, and when they mark the papers, idiots can see which one is Dingyuangong.

I saw that there was no answer to the question on a paper, only seven big characters were written in the dragon flying and phoenix dancing:

Strict! Lofty! Be! Piece! Old! King! Eight!

Damn, champion, must be champion.

At that time, the first person to criticize the volume was still a strict party, and his expression was not to mention how sour.

When it was time for the palace exam, the proud Le Ming stood in a group of lifters in a lifting uniform, but he was not ashamed but proud, and took his examination paper in front of Yan Song's eyes and said: "Look, even the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette said that I wrote well, Lord Yan, you can see if I write well." The emperor will comment in a while, if his old man also says that I wrote well, what do you say you can do?"

Yan Song, who was angry in his eighties, fainted to death.

Of course, the palace test is also a formality, and the champion naturally fell on Le Ming's head, according to the convention, the official went to the Hanlin Academy to compile it, and I don't know who called him up and down the Hanlin Academy.

After the palace test, the three of them had to accept the emperor's comments, and the list of eyes and tanhua was naturally simple, but it was Xiaotian's turn, but Jiajing couldn't speak for a long time, and only after a long time did he sigh and said: "Both civil and military are safe in the world, and there is no such person in the world." ”

As for the story of Le Ming after he became an official, hehe, that's the content of another book, and my mess is to finish the first volume.
