"The Ministry of Rites Shangshu and others intend to promote Chen Anzhong of Min County, Fujian Province, as the first of the three tripods of the current department, and the champion of the current department."

In the Huagai Palace, Xie Jin walked out of the side hall and bowed down to report to Zhu Yunxi, who was playing chess with Yan Shizi.

Zhu Yunxi didn't raise his eyes, silently staring at the chess game in front of him.

Xiaopang is still in the dragon formation, and he is still one force to ten meetings.

The end was predestined long ago.

"Chen Yu's talent is good, and it is reasonable for Ren Hengtai to recommend it vigorously."

"Brother Chi, you have no way out."

Zhu Yunxi muttered softly in his mouth, and then snapped, the chess pieces settled, and he looked at the little fat in front of him with a victor's smile.

Zhu Gaochi frowned, sighed, spread his hands, and leaned back with a face full of disbelief, his eyes were surging at Xie Jin, who was standing behind Zhu Yunxi.

Seeing that Xiaopang had no intention of continuing to struggle, Zhu Yunxi also leaned back: "Ren Hengtai's side, how much has Kegongshi taken today, how much has he taken north of the river, and how many students have Xinxue?"

This is naturally a question of the solution.

He himself has been busy with the tax office, the martial arts hall, and his own wedding, and he basically didn't have too much of a meeting test and a palace test.

Zhu Gaochi also looked at Xie Jin silently with curiosity.

He wanted to know if Xie Jin, who was determined to become a saint of mind while he was alive, could become a saint.

Xie Jin lowered his head, clasped the black ash between his fingernails, and thought for a while before saying, "There are a total of nine hundred and seventy-six tributes from the current branch, and four hundred and fifty-one from the north of the river. There are three hundred and twenty-seven of them."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and shook his head.

Xie Jin took a hesitant step, bent down and whispered, "Taisun, but what's the problem?"

Zhu Yunxi turned around, only to hear the arguments of the six scholars about the top ten examination papers of yesterday's palace examination still coming from the side hall.

looked at Xie Jin silently, and said with a slight smile: "Ren Hengtai, they finally know what Hongwu's twenty-five years of Enke will try to cheat for."

"For the sake of the mind?" Xie Jin tilted his head, a little puzzled on his face.

But if it is said to be for the study of the mind, it is a little inappropriate.

Xie Jin's brows jumped.

That's the number of tributes taken north of the river!

Jiangbei Jiangbei.

Just as Xie Jin was thinking about the entire north-south pattern of the Ming Dynasty in his mind, Zhu Yunxi had already spoken again.

"Do the math, has the proportion of the subject of the heart student changed from the twenty-five years of Hongwu."

Xie Jin's heart was another chuckle, and then he whispered a little reluctantly, "It seems to ...... Nothing has changed......

Zhu Gaochi leaned forward, taking the opportunity to clean up the chess game, and said softly, "It seems that what you were worried about has still happened."

Zhu Yunxi snorted, and joined in cleaning up the chess game with a faint gaze: "Ren Hengtai has done it very fairly, he has not touched the bottom line, and it is not wrong to take as many students as he wants. Even if he doesn't take one, no one can find fault with him. Pressing the proportion to the situation of Hongwu for twenty-five years is already considered his dedication."

The imperial examination did not say that you must be taken by a person of any school.

In the emperor's opinion, no matter what doctrine, as long as it can govern the world, it can be used. ….

As long as the balance of the court and the balance of the world can be maintained, there will be no problems.

Hongwu's 25-year-old Enke will try to cheat, it is better to say that Zhu Yunxi took the initiative to imbalance the admission ratio of students from the north and south, and broke it in front of the old man, and then the big eucalyptus appeared.

The old man will not allow the future Ming Dynasty to be full of southerners.

Even if the north is bitterly cold and poor, and the literature and Taoism are not prosperous, the imperial court must maintain a balance in the imperial examination to avoid the dominance of the south.

But it doesn't matter if you're a science or a mind.

Zhu Gaochi raised his head with a smile and looked at Xie Jin: "Bachelor Xie."

Xie Jin's head was still a misty lake at this time, compared with the road outside Yingtian City, Chao

These calculations are too complicated.

Heard Yan Shizi call him.

Xie Jin immediately bowed forward, and was already at the chessboard: "What instructions does Yan Shizi have?"

Zhu Gaochi immediately waved his hand: "Don't dare to take the instruction, then you have to come to Brother Xi." But there is one sentence that I would like to reconcile with the Bachelor."

Xie Jin was as good as a stream, and arched his hand: "Please also ask Yan Shizi to show it."

"Do things in a down-to-earth manner, and do good things that benefit the country and the people." Zhu Gaochi stared at Xie Jin's swarthy hands that were full of gray dirt and couldn't even clean their fingernails, so he nodded silently: "Do what you are doing now, wait until the students can account for half of the imperial examinations, and then think about becoming a saint."

After finishing speaking, he didn't give Xie Jin a chance to continue to ask for advice, so he looked at Zhu Yunxi and shouted, "Do you want another plate? I read half of the fragment last night, and now is the time to use it."

Zhu Yunxi saw that Jin was a little dazed, so he got up and patted him on the back: "Brother Squire, the matter of building the road is done first, and it is enough for Xinxue to maintain the current situation. Building roads is the top priority, and now it's just Ying Tianfu, and there are still thirteen roads to be repaired in the future."

Xie Jin was a little confused, turned his head to look at Zhu Yunxi, and said in a speechless manner, "Ren Shangshu, why do they want to do this?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled dumbly, patted Xie Jin's shoulder again, and pushed him towards the side hall: "Don't you dare to let Ren Hengtai hear this, it's not good for you." Brother Gentleman, you are a fan of the authorities. Mo Li's matter, go to the side hall and wait, it won't take long for His Majesty to set the three tripod armor of this department, and the ranking of the two jinshi."

Xie Jin nodded.

Because of his status, he couldn't imagine that the situation of the court had quietly undergone a lot of changes now.

watched Xie Jin re-enter the side hall.

Zhu Yunxi sat down with a faint sigh and looked at the little fat who was already holding the chess pieces: "Fortunately, it didn't become the worst situation, at least they haven't wanted to completely divide the debut."

"It's the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, do they dare?" Zhu Gaochi felt that Brother Xi might have become the authority, so he said weakly.

Syllable.

The sunspot has landed in the middle of the board.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes shrank: "It's not according to common sense?"

"If you can win, you are a good fall." Zhu Gaochi raised his eyebrows.

Zhu Yunxi pouted: "This is the endgame you read in the book?"

"Books I read in my dreams."

……….

"The minister thinks that Chen Yu can be the champion of today's department, Yin Changlong is the leader, and Liu Shige is the flower."

In the side hall of the Huagai Palace, Ren Hengtai, the chief examiner of the Ministry of Rites and the current examination, put the three answer sheets of yesterday's palace examination on the top of the imperial table.

Immediately afterwards, Zhan Hui, Ru Yu, Yu Xin, and Wang Jun stepped forward.

"The ministers seconded the motion."

"Nowadays, there are many people who take the imperial examination, and there are many outstanding talents, but the answers are novel but not steady, whether it is an article or a current political policy, they are all quick to think. In particular, Chen, Yin, and Liu Sangongshi are the most outstanding."

After the few people finished speaking, they each bowed their heads silently.

Ren Hengtai turned his head slightly and looked at Zhan Hui beside him.

Zhan Laoqi was right, and he himself was right.

There are more than 900 tributes, which can be said to be the first in the world, and the two Jinshi in this year are enough to be compared with the sum of the Ming Dynasty.

The emperor did not condemn himself for this, and even praised it.

Behind the royal table, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, put his hands together, silently looked at the answer sheet in front of him, and then slowly looked back at the prince beside him.

"What does the prince think?"

After throwing the question to the prince, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around, grabbed a booklet on the soft couch behind him, leaned on the couch and read it silently.

Zhu Biao arched his hands and looked sideways at the old man who was already leaning on the soft couch, his eyes flickering.

In that booklet, the details of the origins of the present Kogonshi were recorded.

"Erchen thinks that since there are all the ministers who recommend him, he thinks that his article skills and governing skills are not bad, and it is desirable to have this foundation in a thousand volumes."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Biao was already silently looking at Ren Hengtai, Zhan Hui and others who were standing opposite the imperial table.

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the booklet in his hand with a snap, and looked sideways: "In this case, the prince will name us for it."

Zhu Biao turned around: "Erchen leads the order."

Then he turned around, took the red red pen sent by Sun Gou'er who was waiting on the side, and found the name of the volume of Sandingjia, which was a bright red circle.

Several court ministers who observed the words and expressions, seeing this scene, finally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"The ministers and the three Dingjia and the new two Jinshi of the current department, thank you."

Zhan Hui and others chanted.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand behind him: "Let's go, the court will give a banquet on a certain day." What should be released from the outside, what should be sitting in the museum, and what should be watching the government."

Zhan Hui and the others waited for the answers to be archived, and then retired with the rest.

"Father, another big event this year has settled."

After Zhan Hui and the others left, Zhu Biao slowly walked to the soft couch and bowed down and whispered.

Zhu Yuanzhang held the booklet in his hand and snorted coldly: "We can't pee into the same pot with them after all!"

Zhu Biao frowned slightly: "Father Emperor is dissatisfied with the candidate they pushed up?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the prince, avoided the topic, and said: "Let's draft the decree, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites Ren Hengtai will enter the Wenhua Palace Scholar, the Ministry of Officials Shangshu Zhan Hui will go to the Metropolitan Inspection Institute and enter the Wenhua Palace Scholar, and the left attendant of the household department Lang Yu will be newly promoted to the Household Department Shangshu and enter the Wenhua Palace University......

Zhu Biao's heart was sudden, although this matter had been moved between the father and son earlier, but now once it is really implemented, he is still a little surprised and shocked. ….

However, Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth and muttered for a moment, and then said, "Let Fang Xiaoru also enter the Wenhua Palace Scholar."

This is an unexpected candidate.

The imperial court ordered four scholars of the Wenhua Palace at once, but whenever the will came out of the palace, there must be a lot of discussion outside.

Zhu Biao's eyes turned quickly, and he bowed down: "The son of the minister leads the order."

……

Outside the side hall.

The chess game between Zhu Yunxi and Xiaopang has reached a state of anxiety.

Squeak.

Behind him, the door of the side hall was opened.

Then came the footsteps of Zhan Hui and others.

Zhu Yunxi silently looked up at Xiaopang, and Zhu Gaochi threw the chess pieces he had grabbed back into the chess basket.

The two got up at the same time and looked at Zhan Hui, Ren Hengtai and others who came out of the side hall.

Zhan Hui, Ren Hengtai and others who came out of the side hall naturally saw Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi who were outside the side hall at a glance.

Several people were slightly stunned.

Then, led by Zhan Hui, everyone stopped and bowed down.

"The ministers have seen the grandson and the son of Yan."

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "You have worked hard in state affairs."

"Where is the duty of the ministers."

Zhan Hui also responded with a smile, then paused, and saw that Zhu Yunxi no longer spoke, so he led everyone to bow down, and then slowly left.

Zhu Yunxi stood in place with his hands together, not moving at all, just following the group of central ministers of the Ming Dynasty from the Huagai Palace.

[Recommended,@

After thinking about it, he nodded again: "They all look kind, but they are still indifferent."

Zhu Yunxi sighed, he had always hoped to be in harmony with these central ministers in the court, but it was obvious that everyone's butts would never be able to sit together.

He turned around, patted Chubby's shoulder, and said solemnly, "You really don't want to serve in the court?"

Zhu Gaochi immediately took two steps back, shook his head and rolled his eyes, and said, "The matter of the tax office is not a matter?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "That's not counted, after all, there is no will to correct your name."

Zhu Gaochi turned his head and was unwilling to continue to deal with this stubble.

And Xie Jin also didn't have much time after Zhan Hui and the others came out at this time, and he also walked out of the side hall.

"Jinke Sanding Jia is decided, and it is the person recommended by Ren Shangshu and them. As for the two ranks, it will probably be decided according to their agreement."

Regarding such an expected result, Zhu Yunxi didn't plan to think about it anymore.

Instead, he smiled and said, "After the feast in a few days, the sweet potatoes of the Shanglin Yuan Supervisor will be harvested, and that is what I am most concerned about now."

Sweet potatoes.

How much planting scale can be expanded next year depends on how much sweet potatoes can be planted in the sweet potato field in Shanglinyuan this year. ….

Xie Jin also laughed: "Nowadays, building roads is the most concerned thing for ministers. After His Highness's wedding, the road leading to Taiping Mansion outside Yingtian City will probably be repaired."

"When the time comes, Lone will personally accept it!"

Here, the two of them met and laughed.

……

Yue three days.

The list of Jinshi in the two lists of the current branch has long been made public inside and outside the imperial city.

The people who have studied hard for decades and traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to catch the exam have been drunk for three days in a row.

Today is the day when the emperor gives a banquet to the scholars in the palace.

According to the rules, these new scholars are all protégés of the Son of Heaven.

But everyone knows that this protégé of the Son of Heaven is just to show that the emperor has the meaning of taking the world.

After these people enter the officialdom step by step, their teachers and mentors are the people who are really close and have relevant interests.

The emperor is the emperor.

The time of the feast was set before dark, and it always took an hour or two before and after, and the emperor had to talk to these soon-to-be-made courtiers, drink together, and accept the wine from these scholars.

Before and after, there is not an hour or two that is not finished.

Until late at night.

Taipingli, Shangyuan County, Yingtiancheng.

Dongjing Lane, because of its proximity to Dongshuiguan Wharf, the composition of residents here is quite complex.

Wan Jinbiao, a tax collector of the Shangyuan County Branch of the Daming Tax Bureau, was wearing a gluttonous suit that could make the local gentry and businessmen tremble, holding a pottery wine pot in his hand, and walking in Dongjing Lane with hazy eyes and staggering.

The Yanling knife on his waist made a clanging sound with Wan Jinbiao's shaking.

Wan Jinbiao was originally a person from Taipingli, who used to work at Dongshuiguan Wharf, and later joined the army, following the general of the Southern Expedition, the founding prince Changsheng and the grandson of the southern expedition to fight in Jiaozhi.

In the battle of Daluo City, Wan Jinbiao followed the Taisun leader to the city wall.

Wan Jinbiao killed 12 enemies, five knives and two arrows in his body, the most important injury was in the right arm, elbow fracture, no one can rest on the battlefield, and after killing all the enemy, Wan Jinbiao's elbow also fell and could not be fully recovered.

The army couldn't stay any longer, and his hands would tremble after a few dozen slashes with a knife, so he could only return to Beijing with his grandson.

And because his legs and feet are flexible, his head is not Mengton's, and his own merits in killing 12 enemies, Wan Jinbiao became the deputy tax department of the Shangyuan County Branch of the Daming Tax Office.

Recently, the reform of the grain chief tax collector in Shangyuan County has been advancing rapidly.

In the process of confiscation, people like Wan Jinbiao naturally had a lot of pockets full.

I just drank with a few colleagues in the Qinhuai River in the south today.

Walking on the way home at this moment, Wan Jinbiao was still thinking

How to make those gentry outside the city honest and obedient, so that they can do the things that the grandson has handed over.

I heard that the grandson is getting married.

The tax office must come up with a report as a congratulatory gift, the people must be able to eat, the tax office must be able to collect taxes, so that no one is greedy for ink, and they must be able to live a prosperous life.

And harmony and beauty, a ball of harmony.

Thinking about it, Wan Jinbiao thought of the beautiful wife who had just passed through the door at home.

Wan Jinbiao, who was hot in his heart, couldn't help but speed up his steps.

Ahead, after the big courtyard of the Li family, and in the alley behind, it was the small home of his own house.

"Damn the tax office!"

"Why don't you let these ruined dogs die!"

"Don't scream, don't scream, be careful not to hear the man surnamed Wan in the alley behind."

"Can't I even call now?"

"I heard that the man surnamed Wan relied on that dog skin to marry that little wife and went home, and he made the yard all over the yard to dry the quilt."

"How capable can a deputy tax secretary of a branch of the tax department be? I'll wait for some tricks to take advantage of his absence from Wan, and get rid of that little wife......

"Well said, well said! I must call the man surnamed Wan a few more wild seeds."

「……」

………………

Peal pedal, pedal, pedal.

Poof.

When the ban in the palace was lifted in the morning bell, Sun Cheng, who was wearing a flying fish suit, was already sweating profusely and rushed into the East Palace, kneeling heavily on one knee in front of Zhu Yunxi, who had just gotten up early and was practicing in the courtyard.

"Your Highness, something is wrong."

"Ying Tianfu is out of the Great Eucalyptus of Destruction......

"The murderer, Wan Jinbiao, deputy tax secretary of the Shangyuan County Branch of the Tax Bureau."

Shredded pork and rice noodles
