172 Night Talk (I)
After returning home from the examination room, Zheng Guang took a shower and fell asleep, and slept until the morning of the third day, when he opened his eyes and got up, he suddenly felt refreshed, and all his strength came back, he got up, opened the door, and saw Zheng Jiang walking by the door at a glance, and shouted: "Third uncle!" ”
As soon as Zheng Jiang saw Zheng Guang coming out, he smiled and said, "I slept for two days and finally woke up?" ”
Zheng Guang was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "I slept for two days? ”
Zheng Jiang nodded: "Wen Chang came back half a day later than you, and woke up last night, but you are fine, you have slept until now, are you hungry?" I'm going to get you some breakfast. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Zheng Guang smiled and nodded, he really didn't expect that he had slept for two days, from the morning before yesterday to now, he didn't feel anything, now the third uncle said, Zheng Guang suddenly felt a sense of hunger like a tide, his whole person was full of a strong desire to eat, Zheng Jiang asked his subordinates to send a lot of food, Zheng Guang opened his belly to eat and drink, almost finished eating, Xu Wei rubbed his eyes and yawned and came to Zheng Guang's house.
"I heard you just woke up? I went to bed later than you and woke up earlier than you, so what's the matter, I consume too much energy in the exam room? Xu Pang didn't look very hungry, Zheng Guang guessed that he should have eaten too much after getting up last night, and he slept when he was full, so he was not hungry now, so he smiled and said: "Then I will also hand in the paper half a day earlier than you, so naturally I will consume half a day's energy more than you in front of you, and sleep half a day more than you, which is also due." ”
Xu Pang stretched, looked at the table, and said with a smile: "That's true, but your appetite is really like a martial artist, so many things, how can you stuff it in your stomach?" Even so, I haven't seen you fat, where did you eat? ”
Zheng Guang looked at Xu Fat's whole abdominal muscles, stretched out his hand and patted it, and laughed: "Although I eat a lot, I practice martial arts every day, can you see when I haven't practiced martial arts?" Practicing martial arts can not only strengthen the body, but also consume all the food I eat in my stomach, and consume all the superfluous things that can grow your belly fat, leaving only the tendon meat that grows strength. ”
Zheng Guang stretched out his arm and put it in front of Xu Pang, put on a bodybuilding posture, and let Xu Pang look at his strong biceps, Xu Pang pinched Zheng Guang's hard muscles with a constipated look, and reluctantly accepted such a statement, shook his head helplessly, grabbed a bun and stuffed it into his mouth, and muttered: "You won't be the first candidate to hand in the paper, right?" When I turned in the papers, I heard someone say that you were the first to turn in the papers, and all three. ”
Zheng Guang had nothing to hide, nodded and said: "That's right, it's true that I was the first to hand in the papers, and the three exams were all exams, and I just wrote the papers at a normal speed, which is nothing peculiar, right?" ”
Xu Pang nodded and said, "It's nothing, but how is your article written?" How did you write the three questions and four book questions, as well as the inexplicable strategy at the back? ”
Zheng Guang looked at Xu Pang and said with a smile: "Did you notice something?" ”
Xu Pang also looked at Zheng Guang: "Tell me about it." ”
Zheng Guang said with a smile: "There is nothing bad to say, but Your Majesty saw that the north and the south won at the same time, and thought that this was the best time for the Ming Dynasty to revive the prestige of the country, and the questions could not be bypassed by Your Majesty, so these questions were also in line with the emperor's wishes, and the attempt was just a small test. ”
Xu Wei's face was slightly moved, and he sighed: "You say, the Son of Heaven really plans to do something against the Japanese and the Mongols?" Now, is it really a great opportunity? ”
Zheng Guang restrained his smile and said: "If you think it's not, you can pretend not to see what opportunity is in front of you, but if you think it's time, even if there are thousands of mountains and rivers in front of you, you can also cross over, the plague of Mongolia is a problem that the Ming Dynasty must solve, it is not a time to decide at the right time, as long as the emperor has confidence and the emperor supports, then, this matter, we can do it!" ”
Xu Wei pursed his lips and said slowly: "Then you say, will the emperor choose to deal with the Japanese or the Mongols first?" ”
Zheng Guang said: "The policy I wrote is to support the first to deal with the Japanese Invaders, and then to deal with the Mongols, no matter how strong the Japanese forces are, it is also the people of the Ming Dynasty as the main force, the so-called is a mouthful of food, a way to live, not to subvert the Ming Dynasty, so the Wokou Rebellion is only a local rebellion, not a national rebellion, and the Mongols have enough troops and strength to invade the Central Plains to subvert China, in order not to let the tragedy of two hundred years ago repeat, the Ming must be fully prepared!"
Therefore, I think that we should first the south and then the north, first the easy and then the difficult, first solve the troubles in the southeast, and at the same time clean up the Japanese invaders, train a hundred elite soldiers and good generals, and form an army with rich combat experience, at the same time, clean up the locality, so that the southeast tax revenue is restored, and the imperial court is rich, you can support the north to fight, the Mongols are not the Japanese invaders, 350,000 troops can be pacified, Taizu and Chengzu and even Yingzong's Northern Expedition, which time with no less than 100,000 troops. ”
Xu Wei said worriedly: "Then what you are looking forward to, the emperor sent you back to the southeast Pingwa, have you thought about what to do?" Since the emperor has such an idea, then you have to be prepared, I think, the emperor should also be very optimistic about you, the most important thing now is how far you can get this guy, in case one is not good to get the Sanding A and become Hanlin, if you don't stay in the Hanlin Academy for a few years, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out. ”
Zheng Guang was also a little annoyed, and said helplessly: "I also know this, but if it weren't for Hanlin, my future achievements would be the six ministries and local officials, and it would be absolutely impossible for me to enter the cabinet and realize my ambitions, but if I am really lucky to become Hanlin, or be elected as a Shujishi, how can I be released smoothly in a few years?" If the imperial court had allowed me to train my troops to deal with the Japanese in the past few years, I would have been sure that I would have wiped out all the Japanese on land. ”
Xu Wei took the soy milk and drank it, and then said: "Sweeping the southeast is not just as simple as sweeping all the Japanese bandits, we all understand that this Japanese robbers are not burned by wildfires, and the spring breeze blows and grows, unless the imperial court opens the sea ban, but if the court opens the sea ban, it will inevitably be hindered by those people, I am afraid that it will not be done in a few years, in contrast, it is easier to deal with the Mongols, as long as you fight, there are not so many scruples." ”
Zheng Guang shook his head and said: "Wen Chang, there is a saying that if we are dealing with the Mongols at the moment, and let those people in the court do nothing, they will not be able to see that the next step for us to clean up the Mongols is to clean them up?" Moreover, have you heard of the most powerful Jin party in the imperial court? The area of Shanxi is all the sphere of influence of the Jin Party, and compared with the southeast maritime merchants, the Jin Party is the most difficult to deal with. ”
Xu Wei's face became ugly, and he said helplessly: "Why are there so many obstacles......
Zheng Guangzhi is not worried, if there is no obstacle, how can it be regarded as reform? Besides, now there is no one in the eight characters, whether you can get to that position is not certain, in case you can't pass the test, don't worry, just ask for release, it's a big deal not to enter the cabinet, if that's really the case, you can only say that your ambition is difficult to achieve, and God deliberately doesn't let yourself achieve your goal.
Xu Wei thought about it too, so he didn't have any more worries.
It takes about ten days and a half a month for the release of the exam, during which the candidates can be used to recover their vitality, but because of the thought of the upcoming release, the depressing atmosphere will inhibit the candidates from indulging in fun, except for some heartless guys who know that they will not be able to take the exam, most of the candidates who are eager to take the exam stay in their own rooms, even if they are arrogant and fat.
The day before the release of the list, a group of people led by Zhang Juzheng came to Zheng Guang's house to hold a party, under the banner of waiting for the results of the exam together, a group of people who had gathered together to study before gathered again, Li Chunfang did nothing, first came to thank Zheng Guang, saying that he wanted to thank Zheng Guang as soon as he finished the exam, but as soon as he went home, he fell ill, and it was not until today that he eased up.
After Li Chunfang told a little, everyone was impressed by Zheng Guang's courage to talk to Jinyiwei, but Zheng Guang said lightly: "The world says that Jinyiwei kills people without blinking, but the Japanese people I killed in the southeast are not less than them, why should I be afraid of them?" ”
The crowd was overwhelmed.
In the evening, everyone became more and more nervous, even Zheng Guang couldn't help but be a little nervous, the results of the examination can dominate the results of the palace examination in a sense, the examination is not good, and the palace examination cannot turn over, whether everyone becomes a high-class person or a superb person, can only look at this exam.
