Zhao Wenhua hit the snake and attached the stick, and shouted: "Yes, the elder of the pavilion is right, someone is coming, search for Wu Jie, be careful with this official!" ”

His eyes were full of pride, and he looked at it with resentment: Wu Jie, you have been making trouble for a long time, and you have gone around in a circle, and it is not going to fall into my hands. This official has also led soldiers, and some of them are means, so I'm going to let you see how good I am later!

Seeing that he was about to be held down by the wolf-like servants, Wu Jie's heart jumped.

Fortunately, Xu Jieyi waved his hand: "Slow." ”

Seeing that Xu Jie's resignation was suspended, Zhao Wenhua sneered: "The official can't understand the old man's move, you just said that you were on the imperial examination, but you didn't say that you should be searched, why did you change your hexagram at this moment." We are all reading the books of the sages, and we should know that words must be done and deeds must be fruitful. The unity of heart and mouth is the principle of perseverance in the world. ”

Originally, Zhao Wenhua also knew that Wu Jie and King Jing had a festival, and he also knew that Wu Jie was a close minister of the Son of Heaven.

The reason why he wanted to make some trouble for Wu Jie before was just to give King Jing a bad breath. For Wu Jie, he didn't pay much attention to it. Over the years, the courtiers and scholars around the Son of Heaven don't know how many stubbles they have changed. When the emperor is good to you, he can lift you to the sky, but he is not a person with a long nature, maybe in a few days, Wu Jie will fall out of favor, and this kind of character is not afraid of offending.

Let him taste the taste of the official, and he can taste it until he is finished

But Wu Jie just performed a scene of withdrawing from the exam, which has completely offended Zhao Wenhua, and naturally he has to rectify it so that he can't survive if he wants to die, and he has to get rid of his reputation to relieve his anger.

But I never expected Xu Jie to run to Wu Jie at this time, which was like handing a drop of cold water in a hot oil pot, which made Zhao Wenhua even more energetic.

His heart suddenly moved: This is a good opportunity to stand up!

The president of this examination is Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet, and Xu Gelao's position in the court is ranked after Yan Song, and he is the third person in the Ming Dynasty.

The hearts of the people in the officialdom are extremely delicate, and the so-called seeing the subtleties is known, and the whole leopard's mouth is peeked at with a spot

If I, Zhao Wenhua, can suppress the old Xu Ge, others will think that King Jing has gained new power, and it will naturally be a tailwind

With Xu Ge's gentle temperament, it can't be solved.

In this case, there is absolutely no way to back down.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wenhua looked at Xu Jie with a provocative gaze.

Sure enough, Xu Jie put on a harmless smile that everyone in the world was familiar with: "Lord Zhao is right, Wu Jie still has to be searched." ”

Zhao Wenhua laughed: "Then what else are you talking about, someone is coming!" ”

"Full." Xu Jie was still smiling and waving his hand.

"Xu Xiang, what's the matter?" Zhao Wenhua was a little annoyed.

After talking about searching for a while and saying no for a while, what do you want to do?

Xu Jie said kindly: "Lord Zhao just searched for the situation when he lifted the person, and he and Si Ren have seen it upstairs. Don't talk about it, even check the privacy department. After all, it is a meritorious scholar who has been promoted, and if he does not come to participate in the examination, he is also qualified to be an official of my Ming Dynasty. Now he has fallen into the hands of his subordinates and suffered inhuman humiliation. The rumor will go out, the face of the court will not exist, the people will not be respectful, how will they represent the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven in the future. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed: "We were all from the imperial examination, and we also entered the examination room back then, and we were also searched. Looking back, I remember all the things of that year according to the calendar. In retrospect, it was a real taste. ”

He glanced back at the several examiners beside him and said, "Okay, the official Bai who searched for his true appearance back then also knows how to measure." However, there must be some of you who have encountered rude and lowly people. ..., they are all readers, and they all have a Slovak style. After seeing that scholar fall into the government just now, didn't he feel the same way? ”

All the same examiners nodded at the same time, and some even sighed, their faces gloomy.

The scholars of the Ming Dynasty took the world as their own responsibility, and their status was noble, but they were the ruling class, and they thought they were superior. But when you enter the examination room, you have to be recorded like a brute, and it is a great insult to let the despised servants grope and poke on the body of a daughter.

But the national imperial examination system is there, but there is no way.

Xu Jie said to Zhao Wenhua kindly: "Lord Zhao, what you mean is that you still have to search, but you can't be rude, and you can't be as insulting as before. Especially a celebrity like Wu Jie is the wind direction of the world's Shilin, if even he is humiliated, how do other scholars feel, don't they regard the imperial examination as a daunting path. If the meaning of the imperial examination is to make the scholars lose face, it is also contrary to my original intention of taking the imperial examination. Lord Zhao, do you think this is the truth? In my opinion, there are also inappropriate places in this imperial examination system, and it is necessary to change them. ”

Xu Jie: "Otherwise, let Wu Jie go to a secluded place, except for his clothes, and carefully inspect and inspect him." Of course, you can't let the officials search and go to the two scribes. Look, isn't that good? ”

The other examiners also nodded yes.

The scribe from before hurriedly said: "Elder Xu Ge, his subordinates are willing to do it for him." ”

Zhao Wenhua was furious: "According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, you have to let the officials search your body." ”

Xu Jie: "The system doesn't say that the officials must be allowed to do it, and besides, is it that the scribes with meritorious names are not as good as the vulgar officials." The township test is just that, and I think that this test really requires a scribe with merit to replace some of the duties of the servant. Isn't it better for those who read the books of the sages and know compassion and reason than to be coarse? ”

All the same examiners nodded at the same time: "This method is very good, could it be that Lord Zhao would rather believe in the lowly subordinate silk than believe in us scholars?" ”

For a time, the crowd was surging.

Zhao Wenhua was suffocated, his face was flushed, and he flicked his sleeves fiercely: "Xu Jie, you are the prime minister of the cabinet, and you are the president, and the official is crushing people to death, you can do whatever you say." Today's scene will be written on the article, and as soon as the trial is over, I will report it to the Ministry of Rites and let the adults of the Ministry of Rites judge it. ”

Xu Jie: "There is no need for Lord Zhao to write, Xu Jie's will be recorded." ”

"Heng!" Zhao Wenhua turned around angrily and left.

But he couldn't walk a few steps, but he felt that he couldn't catch it in one breath, and he covered his chest with his hand, and lowered his head, but spit out a few bits of scarlet liquid.

Zhao Wenhua's heart was cold, his body knew that he was seriously ill. As soon as I was angry, I had a seizure.

I hurriedly returned to the ear room and took a few pills before I felt better. But there is an evil aura in my heart that is uncomfortable. Looking back, I didn't have much appetite for a few days, so I drank a few bowls of porridge, but my stomach was still uncomfortable, and I didn't know what was going on.

Wait for Zhao Wenhua to go away.

Xu Jie nodded at Wu Jie kindly: "Candidate Wu Jie, you go into the front signing room and search your body." Other candidates will also be disposed of at the same time. ”

Hearing this, Wu Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

The other candidates were also grateful.

Entering the signing room, Wu Jie took off his clothes one by one and put them back one by one under the watchful eyes of two well-known calligraphers, which was regarded as a procedure.

The two clerks smiled: "Get the number, let's go in." ”

By this time, it was already dark, and the sun was out for the day. The weather was surprisingly good, there were only three or two stars, but the moon was amazingly big, almost full moon, as if it was hanging directly on the Mingyuan Tower.

There was a silver light on the ground, as bright as a boat's day. …,……………………………………………………

Yuxi Palace Essence House.

"What time is it?" With a long breath and a long sigh of relief, Jiajing, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, opened his eyes and asked suddenly.

"If you go back to the words of the Long Live Lord, it's already over." Huang Jin looked at the hourglass carefully and replied.

"Sure enough, it's coming, but fortunately I didn't miss the hour." Jiajing nodded and stood up.

Huang Jindao: "Long live the Lord is really a miracle, this point is not bad." ”

Jiajing smiled rarely: "I have been in power for forty years, starting from Enke in Jiajing's first year, and so far I have already taken the thirteenth session of the examination and the palace examination, and I have experienced a lot, so I naturally know the time." ”

In the middle of the night, the room was full of people, all wearing official uniforms, looking energetic

Among these people, there are chamberlains in the palace and officials in the outer court, all of whom are here to wait for the emperor to issue a rich question.

Before the emperor opened the golden cabinet behind him, no one knew what the topic of this session of the exam was?

Jiajing looked around, but he was not busy opening the cabinet, but looked through the doors and windows and fell into the moonlight outside.

In the middle of the night, there was a light breeze, and the doors and windows were wide open. The weather has warmed up for a while, and there has been more than ten days of sunshine and no wind, so Jiajing doesn't know whether to wear a cotton jacket or a thin shirt

He liked to watch the wind blow in from outside, blowing the curtain that hung down in the house.

It was already hot, and mosquitoes began to appear in the South China Sea and the Zhonghai Lake, especially when they saw the lights here, they were rushing to fly.

The officials were bitten so badly that they didn't dare to reach out and shoot them.

Huang Jin knew that Jiajing was accustomed to life, and after Long Live Lord meditated, he would most likely be quiet for a moment and organize his thoughts before he could discuss the matter. He didn't bother anymore, but first replaced the incense burner with some agarwood, and then lifted the floating dust to drive away the mosquitoes in the air, and then said: "Long live, you can open the cabinet." ”

"Okay." Jiajing retracted his gaze, opened the gold cabinet behind him, and held a large brocade box from inside. He took out another large volume of manuscripts, read them carefully twice, and then put them in the box, locked them with a brass lock, and handed the key to an official.

"Miaofeng!" Amid Huang Jin's shouting, an official stepped forward quickly and sealed the box.

"The palm seal officer stepped forward to use the seal, and the seal supervisor stepped forward to supervise."

Immediately, one of Shang Baojian's eunuchs stepped forward to put a large seal on the seal, and another civil official stared at the side...... [Middle: The Diaoyu Islands will always belong to China; English: TheDiaoyuIslandsmustbelongtoChina.]
