"Minister Li Ben (Yin Tai) knocks to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Jiajing sat on the cloud bed, and the gauze tent in front of him was not lifted, as if he was too lazy to look at the two ministers, it was enough for a while before Jiajing slowly opened his eyes.

"The two examiners of this course are here, what talents have you selected for me?"

Hearing Jiajing's ethereal voice, Li Ben fell to his knees first, holding the five exam papers he thought were the best above his head, and under the five exam papers, there were another five backups.

Since the temple examination is only ranking, not elimination. Once you try to win, you can claim to be a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and others will see it the same way. But in reality, His Majesty the Emperor may have neither read your scroll nor ranked you.

After all, there are hundreds or thousands of copies of the volume, even if you read it roughly, it is enough to make people tired and lie down, our Jiajing Emperor has that time, it is better to meditate and practice.

Therefore, I usually only look at the papers of the five kui, that is, the top five, but in order to show that the grace comes from above, you can't just take five copies of the papers and ask Your Majesty to judge, but also prepare five copies.

According to Tang Yi's words, it is purely to take off his pants and fart, it is right to give Jiajing the right to choose, but the problem is that the choice object is given by you, take ten cats, Jiajing is blind, and he can't pick out a dog!

In fact, this is the invisible restriction of the civil official system on imperial power, who makes the descendants of the old Zhu family lazy, they can only be at the mercy of others. Jiajing happily took the scroll and said with a smile: "I was just going to see the ability of the protégé of the Son of Heaven. ”

Li Ben didn't notice Jiajing's strange appearance when he said the four words of the Son of Heaven's protégé, and waited on his knees.

Jiajing swept the top article, it was Jinda's one, and after reading almost half of it, his brows furrowed and he threw it aside.

Then I picked up the next one. The more I look at it, the shorter it is, and I read all five formal articles, throw it away, and take the backup, this time it's more neat, and I look directly at the candidate's name. After reading it, his face suddenly turned purple.

"Leeben?"

"The minister is here." Li Ben shuddered and hurriedly replied.

Jiajing's fingers tapped rhythmically on his thighs and smiled lightly, "I have appointed you as the main examiner of this subject, but I want to ask you, what are your opinions?" ”

Aren't you a student, how can you test me!

Li Ben's head crashed all of a sudden, he is a good university scholar. But he was almost never summoned, and he had no experience or method to deal with Jiajing alone.

He was stunned for a moment, and could only read according to the script, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the heart of heaven is merciful, and he understands the suffering of all the people, and the people are rich, so the king will not be alone; People are poor. Then you can't be poor. If you are poor, you will be poor, and if you are rich, you will be rich. Therefore the Lord of the Ming Dynasty will be careful to maintain its harmony. Reduce its flow, open its source, and consider it from time to time. So that the world will have more than enough, and the upper will not worry about the insufficient. If so, the top and bottom are rich, and there is nothing to hide, which is the extreme of knowing the country's plan. Li Ben gushed constantly, and finally added a sentence: "This is also Zhu Zi's opinion." ”

Boy. Moved Zhu Xi out, it seems that I can't agree with it?

With a sneer on the corner of Jiajing's mouth, he was noncommittal, looked at Yin Tai again, and asked, "What do you think of the deputy chief exam?" ”

Yin Tai hit a spirit. Of course, he could see that Li Ben's words were not in line with Jiajing's mind, and he had to take a considerable risk just to refute his boss in front of the king......

Yin Tai, as the deputy chief examiner, once gave a book to Jiajing, detailing the process and key points of the examination, because each imperial examination is similar, Yin Tai did not pay too much attention, but just responded to the story.

But unexpectedly, this note was not only approved, but Jiajing personally instructed: Scholars can't not Hongyi, there is a long way to go, and benevolence is their own responsibility, isn't it also important?

At first glance, it seems that Jiajing encouraged him to take on the heavy responsibility and do a good job in the imperial court's talent ceremony. As a courtier, it is a great grace to be able to get the emperor's expectations, but the problem is that Yin Tai is only the deputy chief examiner, and if there is an expectation, it is also the main examiner. Yin Tai was not so narcissistic as to think that Jiajing particularly appreciated him.

Yin Tai was anxious for three days in a row, constantly thinking about what this sentence meant, but he didn't know the point, just the day before the exam, when the list of candidates was determined, Yin Tai suddenly found a name: Tang Yi, on his own, from Taicang, Suzhou......

"Yi is here!"

Yin Tai was shocked, of course he had heard of Tang Yi's name, but he didn't expect that Tang Yi's kid was so important in His Majesty's heart, and he deserved to be respected by the dignified Ninety-Five to help him greet him......

"You can't not Hongyi", "heavy responsibility", "own responsibility", a few words are worn together, that is, to promote Tang Yi, this is a very important task, you have to take it......

It is precisely with this sentence that Yin Tai will stand up for Tang Yi and fight with Li Ben.

Just now, Yin Tai has been observing his words, and he is more and more sure of his judgment.

What about offending Li Ben, the key is to get His Majesty's appreciation. Thinking of this, Yin Tai knelt down and climbed half a step, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Elder Li Ge is very righteous and has lofty intentions, and the lower officials admire it very much. It's just that what he said is too different from the current situation, and the minister doesn't dare to agree. ”

"Hmm!" Jiajing nodded slightly, and asked, "Where are you in and out?" ”

"Your Majesty, if the world is peaceful and all the people live and work in peace and contentment, the court will collect an extra point, and the people will lose a point, the court will be sympathetic to the people's feelings, cherish the people's strength, the people will be rich, and the country will be rich. Then ......" Yin Tai raised his voice: "If today, there are Tartars in the north and Japanese in the south, and the soldiers are in trouble, and it is better to be a peace dog than to be a chaotic person, and the people are like babies, waiting to be fed." In such a situation, how can you be rich? Time has changed, and when the time comes, the Son of Heaven should work hard, and the people often say that good steel should be used on the blade, which is exactly this truth. ”

Bang Bang Bang!

Jiajing slapped his face and said with a smile: "The deputy examiner really has some insight, but as you said, the people are already tired and tired, if I levy more taxes, even if I collect the wealth, the people are also in danger of civil revolt, and I can't bear to do it." ”

"Holy mercy, there is an article dedicated here, and there is a solution in it, please read it Your Majesty!"

Saying that, Yin Tai held Tang Yi's exam article above his head, and Huang Jin hurriedly took it and put it in front of Jiajing.

This time, Jiajing looked at it quite carefully, and nodded from time to time, his joy was overflowing, and all the views in the article were said to Jiajing's heart.

"...... **** kingdom, rich all over the world, rich in products, coveted for the barbarian country, will be asked for ten thousand taels of gold. With the surplus of silk and porcelain, the excess gold and silver of the overseas barbarians, the livelihood of the people, and the taxation of the imperial court, it is actually the best of both worlds for civil and national use......"

After reading the article, Jiajing was still not satisfied, so he tore open the name and saw that it was written: Tang Yi.

Compared to the previous one, this article is more comprehensive and detailed, with clear reasoning and almost irrefutable.

"Hehe, I know that this kid will not live up to my expectations."

After laughing, Jiajing's face suddenly changed, from March to midwinter.

"Li Ben, I asked you to choose a virtuous person for the country, who did you choose?" Jiajing grabbed Jinda's article and said with an angry smile: "What does it say is to be strictly thrifty, rectify the rule of officials, reduce the expenses of the vassal king, and lay off the redundant palace people." What a good insight, a great idea! Jiajing glanced at Huang Jin beside him and asked, "When was this robe of mine made?" ”

Huang Jin didn't hesitate at all, and hurriedly said: "Emperor Qi, this robe was made during the Mid-Autumn Festival in the 29th year of Jiajing, and it has been six years!" Speaking of this, Huang Jin squeezed out two tears, "Don't talk about the Ninety-Five, even if it is an ordinary family, you have to add new clothes for the New Year, Your Majesty has been frugal for decades, and there are no more than eight sets of regular clothes in all seasons, and we slaves and maids are distressed when they look at it!" Huang Jin said and fell to the ground, crying loudly.

Jiajing smiled contemptuously, "Huang Jin, I eat vegetarian food, wear cloth clothes, don't draft, don't parade, Yuxi Palace is broken, I live in the cramped Wanshou Palace!" And let me be thrifty, where to reduce? Could it be that I can't sleep in the open air? ”

Li Ben's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly knelt down: "The minister deserves death, please let Your Majesty stop his anger!" ”

"Ten thousand deaths? It's enough to die once! Jiajing's ghostly voice was terrifying, and he said: "I can see that you, Scholar Li, are also opposed to opening the sea, do you think that the ancestral system cannot be violated?" ”

Li Ben was really sweating, he thought that since Yan Shifan greeted him, Jiajing's side should be settled, but who knew that Jiajing, who had always pursued the ancestral system, actually changed his temper, and his anger was sprinkled on him, so how could he bear it.

"Minister, minister, minister don't know!" Li Ben was in a hurry and spit out the truth.

Jiajing laughed: "What a 'don't know', what's the use of me wanting an auxiliary minister like you, don't get out!" (To be continued.) )
