The meaning of the imperial examination lies in hope, giving scholars the hope of entering the officialdom.

Although the General's Mansion has the power to convene staff, such a blatant heart of raising a scholar has already surpassed Zhu Yujian's endurance.

This was his mistake, after the original capital of Nanjing, he should have opened a branch to take the heart of the Jiangnan scholars, but Zhai Zhe walked in front.

In Nanjing, Zhu Yujian urgently summoned several cabinet scholars.

Zhu Dadian has only recently made a windfall, and he is in a good mood. His movements were not as fast as Zhai Zhe's, and he copied hundreds of households at once. But Zhai Zhe was very interested, and he didn't move the ministers who responded to the Qing Dynasty in Tianfu. Eating alone is inevitably jealous, Zhu Dadian is willing to charge in front, of course Zhai Zhe is happy, of course, he wants to leave some benefits for the current court.

There was only one major event recently, and several courtiers knew what Zhu Yujian had summoned them for, and after meeting the emperor, they stood respectfully.

Zhu Yujian went straight to the point and asked, "Have you all heard that General Pingyu is going to take the exam recently?" "Zhai Zhe has been crowned king, and Zhu Yujian only calls him a general, which has revealed his true thoughts in his heart.

Zhang Kentang, the secretary of the ministry, heard the emperor's tone and played: "General Pingyu can accept staff when he opens a mansion, but he openly takes the examination for scholars, which is not in accordance with the rules. ”

Zhu Yujian showed a satisfied expression, and then said: "General Pingyu's move is also to appease the people in Jiangnan, and it is my mistake to say this. After returning to Nanjing, all parts of the country were in ruins, and the imperial court should have made an exception and reopened the imperial examination. ”

"But this matter should be led by the imperial court, which can be more reassuring to the people than a general's palace doing it without authorization." He stretched out his hand and stroked his thick beard, "I was also deeply inspired by General Pingyu's notice, and I would like to take this opportunity of General Zhai to open a department." ”

He was waiting for someone to take the initiative.

But no one spoke.

Zhu Yujian gradually became a little impatient, and suddenly missed Zodiac Zhou. Zodiac Zhou is indeed unreasonable sometimes, but he has never taken a crooked path in maintaining the orthodoxy of the imperial court. These people in front of them are all Zhai Zhe who has their own thoughts and is unwilling to be punished.

His tone became stern, and then he said: "The matter of opening the department, we must not let the Pingyu General's Mansion go first, even if General Zhai wants to summon his staff, it must be placed after the scientific examination of the imperial court. ”

This matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and in the eyes of scholars all over the world, there is nothing more important than opening a branch to get a scholar. If the imperial court is preempted by the Pinglu General's Mansion in this matter, I am afraid that more scholars will lean towards the Pingyu General's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, Ma Shiying stepped forward and bowed: "Weichen is willing to go and negotiate with General Zhai, and let General Pingyu's Mansion give up half a step first." ”

"So much the best!" Zhu Yujian was also quite surprised.

He chose Ma Shiying and Zhu Dadian to join the cabinet in eastern Zhejiang because neither of them was loyal to King Lu. Ma Shiying made Jiangnan Shizi complain in the Hongguang Dynasty, and after re-entering the cabinet, he was extremely low-key. Zhu Yujian knew that he had a good relationship with Zhai Zhe and Fang Guoan, but he also knew that Ma Shiying and Zhai Zhe did not have a deep friendship.

When Zuo Liangyu was on the side of the Qing monarch, the Hongguang court was strictly guarded against Zhai Zhe, who was entrenched in Ningshao. Zhai Zhe's teacher was Lu Xiangsheng of the Donglin Party, who had a close relationship with Chen Zilong and others of the Fushe Society, while Ma Shiying was recognized as a eunuch.

Ma Shiying complimented: "General Zhai understands the righteousness and will definitely understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts!" ”

"There is no room for negotiation in this matter, when you go to see General Zhai, you must bring my intentions."

Only the cabinet ministers are here, Zhu Yujian expressed his tough attitude with a cold face, some things can be compromised, and some things will become a catastrophe once they retreat. If Zhai Zhe didn't agree, he would rather lose both sides than forcibly issue an order to end the matter.

Because it is the foundation of the country.

Zhai Zhe hid in Hangzhou's West Lake, quietly waiting for the imperial court's reaction. The shore of the West Lake is the best place in the south of the Yangtze River to cultivate his mind, and he hides here, and even gives birth to a kind of laziness that is unwilling to go out again.

Autumn is getting stronger.

From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, both the Qing court and the Southern Ming needed time to recuperate. Dolgon was not ready to cross to the south, and did not dare to concentrate all his troops and horses in Yangzhou Prefecture, so he ordered Bolo to lead the defeated army back to Beijing to rest and recuperate. Mongolia to the north and Shanxi to the west were unstable and had to be garrisoned in Beijing to deter them.

Huguang replaced Jiangnan and became the second battlefield.

The messenger reported every two days and sent Huguang's war report to Jiangnan. He Tengjiao and Plug Yin Xidu's nearly 300,000 troops moved the Battle of Huguang, and unlike Jiangnan, the Qing court became a defender. He Tengjiao went down the river to attack Wuchang, and blocked Yinxi to besiege Jingzhou.

Zhai Zhe paid attention there, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He Tengjiao is Zhu Yujian's confidant, even if he wants to, the imperial court will not give him the opportunity to enter Huguang, not to mention that he doesn't have such a big appetite now. If a bowstring is pulled too tightly, there is a risk of breaking, and only a moderate relaxation can last long. When the rebels fought in Jiangnan, they had the passion to defend the land and resist shaving, and if they wanted to fight outside Jiangnan, they needed to be carefully polished.

At the end of October, Ma Shiying rushed to Hangzhou.

Ships from all over the country that came to pay grain blocked the canal waterway, so he went ashore a dozen miles away from Hangzhou and walked six ways.

Looking at the scene in the canal all the way, Ma Shiying felt a little uncomfortable. As the head of the household, he couldn't receive a tael of silver. Zhu Yujian had other intentions for letting him serve as the head of the household, but he was a fool who was used as a gunman by others. If it comes to playing with the government, those ministers may not be his opponents combined.

Chen Zilong, the governor of Zhejiang, took a blank stake on the waterway, and did not know until Ma Shiying arrived three miles outside Hangzhou and came to greet him.

The two went all the way into the city, Ma Shiying explained his intentions, and secretly asked Chen Zilong for news. He thought that Zhai Zhe would never risk falling out with Zhu Yujian now, so he took the initiative to ask for this order. There are some things that are very complicated to see, and only those who see through the shape know that it is the credit of sending it to the hand.

Chen Zilong replied cautiously: "This matter is actually the head of General Pingyu's Mansion, Fang Yizhi, I just put up a name." The prince is not in Hangzhou, and has been living in the West Lake home since he came back, and the Ma Ge Department can personally visit and inquire tomorrow. ”

"Woko, what do you think?"

Chen Zilong bowed his brows and walked for more than a dozen steps before he said: "It is a big deal for the imperial court to open a department and recruit scholars, and it is not incompatible with the Pingyu General's Mansion to find staff. ”

"Is General Zhai willing to put this matter after the scientific expedition?"

Chen Zilong shook his head and said no more.

His relationship with Zhai Zhe is too close, and some things are not easy to say directly, whether he supports or opposes Zhai Zhe, it will have a huge impact on the stable Jiangnan. At the very least, until the threat of the Qing is lifted, the position of the Pingyu General's Mansion is unshakable. But Zhai Zhe's recent actions have made him more and more unable to feel at ease.

The generals are too strong, and they already have the tendency to dominate the guests, no wonder the emperor is not at ease, and most of them, the civil servants, are also on the sidelines.

Ma Shiying stayed in the city of Hangzhou for a night, and the next day went to the palace by the West Lake to meet Zhai Zhe.

He deliberately picked the right time, went out at the right time, and arrived at the West Lake in the middle of the morning. I don't know if it was intentional or accidental, Zhai Zhe was not at home, Liu Suifeng came out to receive him, and said, "The prince went for a walk by the West Lake." ”

Ma Shiying was very well-behaved and replied, "It's okay, I'll wait here for the prince to come back." ”

The prime minister's front three-rank official, he and Liu Suifeng are old acquaintances, Zhai Zhe initially contacted Fang Guoan, and it was this person who came forward.

Liu pointed to the rippling lake with the wind and said, "The prince has often visited the West Lake recently, and sometimes he doesn't come back at noon. ”

Ma Shiying carefully observed Liu Suifeng's expression, and almost instantly, nodded and laughed and agreed: "The prince is so elegant, the Qing Dynasty is stationed in Jiangbei, and the prince regards it as dung, and I can't find a second person in my Daming, so there is Mr. Lao Liu." ”

The West Lake in autumn, like a woman who has just spent the most brilliant time of her life, although a little sluggish, you can still see the plump of.

Liu walked very slowly with the wind, and Ma Shiying didn't pay any attention to the scenery along the way.

The two walked and talked, and Liu chattered about Zhai Zhe's recent hard work, the food and salary paid in various parts of Jiangnan was not enough to supply military salaries, and the soldiers and firearms were insufficient.

Ma Shiying could only nod frequently.

The two walked for half an hour when they saw two soldiers standing at the head of a small arched bridge.

Liu walked over quickly with the wind and asked, "Where is the prince?" ”

"Mr. Liu!" The two soldiers saluted first, and then looked at Ma Shiying's clothes, knowing that it was a big man, and pointed to the front and said, "The prince only passed here a quarter of an hour ago." ”

Liu Suifeng obviously knew that Zhai Zhe was here, and not long after the two continued to walk, they saw more than a dozen cavalry guarding the roadside.

"The prince is in front!" Liu Suifeng's pace quickened, and he ordered his own guards to report when he was near.

The commander of the pro-guard was young, and he stood there not as cold as the others, and joked, "It's rare that Mr. Liu can find here." ”

After a while, Fang came in and out to greet him.

"The prince is inside!"

Ma Shiying followed Liu and the wind inside, he was the minister of the imperial court, and his intention to come so far to meet Zhai Zhe was self-evident.

After walking half a mile inside, Zhai Zhe was standing with his back.

Fang Jin stopped and pointed there and said, "The prince is there!" The willow also stopped with the wind.

Ma Shiying walked alone, and there was no sound on the soft ground. Seeing that Zhai Zhe was facing a tomb, and he didn't know what to do, Zhai Zhe turned his head and said, "Ma Gebu, I've worked hard for you." ”

Ma Shiying breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Where, where!" The prince is so comfortable, so that I am envious! ”

"West Lake is a great place!" Zhai Zhe walked to Ma Shiying's side and pointed to the tomb behind him, "Yue and Yu are resting here, which makes this place even more fascinating." ”

Ma Shiying's eyes swept over and he knew that this was Yu Qian's tombstone.

Yue Fei and Yu Qian were both buried on the side of the West Lake.

"The prince is loyal to the heart of the country, comparable to Yue and Yu, the two Taibao!" As soon as Ma Shiying said this, he immediately regretted it, Yue Fei and Yu Qian's fate was very bad.
