Chapter 468: Emperor, how low do you want?

The camp outside the city.

Although the daytime is over, the aftermath continues.

Mei Yin took the soldiers of the Beijing camp to distribute road guides to every citizen who entered Beijing to complain, and trained them together according to their household registration, and sent soldiers to escort them back to their hometowns.

Of course, it can also be understood as an escort.

Mei Yin is still very satisfied with today's result, except for the last waterwheel on the field, someone was injured by a stampede, and no one was killed in the whole incident.

Originally, he was ready to die thousands of people today, but he didn't expect that the imperial grandson would solve it perfectly by sending only a few hundred water trucks. It not only preserved the people who made trouble, but also preserved the reputation of the old man, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!

When Mei Yin dealt with the people who were making trouble in Shangjing, Erhu was not idle, but dealt with the scholars who made trouble during the day.

"Yang Shiqi, right?"

"There is a confession here, you can take a look at it, sign your name if you have no opinion, and go to the Tribute House for the exam in two days!"

Yang Shiqi took the confession letter handed over by Jinyiwei, and just wanted to take a look, he felt that he was hit by a stick in the back.

"How dare you look at it!"

"Hurry up and sign the pledge, and if you dare to delay, I will drag you down and pour dung!"

Yang Shiqi confessed on the spot when he thought of the horror of the day, and hurriedly signed his name on the paper.

Seeing that he had signed the confession, the Jinyi guards didn't say much, kicked him out of the camp with kicks and kicks, and then used the same trick on the next person, repeating the same words.

When Yang Shiqi came outside, there were already many scholars gathered around the camp, and at this time, they were righteously and indignantly abusing the brocade guards in the barracks.

"How can it be?"

"We are asking for the lives of the people, what is the crime, why should we sign the confession!"

"Brother Wang is right, let's ask for the people's lives, and ask His Majesty the Emperor to reduce the burden on the people, not only is there no crime but merit in the imperial court!"

The words of a few people instantly ignited everyone's passion and made everyone even more noisy.

However, just as several people were complacent and immersed in the praise around them, a discordant voice suddenly came.

"Brother Wang, Brother Li, did you two sign the confession just now?"

"Signed......

"If you have pleaded not guilty, why did you sign it?"

"If you don't sign it, you can't do it, if you don't sign it, they'll take a water gun......

When Yang Shiqi saw the two of them say this, he laughed and walked away.

He realized that he had come to his senses!

A lot of things that I couldn't figure out before, but now I can figure it out.

What is for the country and the people is just for oneself.

No righteousness can be relied upon in the face of might!

He even felt ridiculous, why did he listen to the foolery of a dry person, and jumped out to be a clown who jumped out of the beam!

The more Yang Shiqi thought about it, the more funny he felt, now he just wanted to go back to the inn and get some sleep, and then return to his hometown to be an idle teacher.

In the future, teaching will not teach people the way of imperial examination and art, but only teach people to read and write, and be sensible.

However, just as he entered the city gate and was about to follow the walls back to the inn, a carriage suddenly stopped in front of him.

"Dare to ask, but Mr. Yang Shiqi?"

"Dare to ask Your Excellency.........

"The humble position is the personal guard of His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, and I am specially ordered by the Imperial Grandson to come to ask Mr. to come over the mansion."

"Passing the house?"

Yang Shiqi was keenly aware of the difference between the two words "passing the house", didn't the imperial grandson live in the palace, and he hadn't heard that the imperial grandson had a mansion outside.

Although Yang Shiqi was suspicious in his heart, since he decided to return to his hometown and go into hiding, he didn't care whether the so-called nobles were nobles or not.

"Lead the way......

"The imperial grandson has instructed Mr. Yang to take the carriage over."

"The imperial grandson has instructed Mr. Yang to take the carriage over."

"Oh?"

"Then take the carriage of the imperial grandson, later

I also blew it when I got home, hahaha......

The hotel where Yang Shiqi stayed was originally near the Gongyuan, but the carriage turned around and headed directly in the direction of Guozijian.

This somewhat made him a little panicked, and he felt like he was in a black car!

Just when Yang Shiqi thought that he was going to be dragged to a mass grave, the carriage stopped in front of a school.

"School of Hope?"

"Why did you drag me here, didn't you say you were going to see the emperor's grandson?"

"Mr. Yang doesn't know that the residence of the imperial grandson is in the academy."

"Oh......"

Yang Shiqi followed Jin Yiwei on the stone path of the Hope School with curiosity, and walked a short distance before he came to a small building with a red exterior wall.

"His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson lives here."

"Mr. Yang, please go in alone."

"Good!"

Yang Shiqi said goodbye to Jinyiwei and walked towards the Little Red Mansion, and as soon as he walked to the door, he heard the voice of the imperial grandson from inside.

"But Mr. Yang has arrived?"

"Bring it in."

"No!"

As soon as Yang Shiqi entered the small building, he was stunned by the dazzling light, he stared at the round lamp hanging in the center of the small building in a daze, his eyes were stimulated by the light to tears, and he couldn't bear to blink his eyes.

"Mr. Yang, don't stare at the electric light, you will hurt your eyes if you stare at it for a long time."

"Oh......"

Yang Shiqi saw Zhu Yunxi say this, so he withdrew his gaze, and then rubbed his blinded eyes, until the dark spots in front of his eyes disappeared, and then he had time to look at the interior of the small building.

In general, the interior layout of the small building is extremely simple, with only one bedroom and one living room. The furnishings of the hall are also quite simple, with only a long table and a few chairs on the side.

If it weren't for the fact that the imperial grandson in front of him was real, he would have wondered if he had entered the home of ordinary people.

"Imperial grandson, is this really your mansion?"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said.

"Can't count, right?"

"This is just a temporary resting place for me here at the Hope Academy, and I usually spend more time in the palace."

Yang Shiqi nodded slightly when he heard this, and said in his heart that this was not strange.

"Dare to ask Your Highness, why did you call the students over......

Zhu Yunxi pulled a chair and sat down, and then motioned for Yang Shiqi to sit down.

"It's nothing, it's just that I'm afraid that the price will give rise to a discouraged and lazy mind, so I hereby order someone to call you over and let you take the imperial examination in a few days."

"Uh......"

"Imperial grandson, aren't you angry with the student, don't you think that what the student said on the city wall during the day offended you and the royal family?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled indifferently.

"Of course not!"

"I think you're a great talent, so I specially asked you to come over and give me a few words."

"Don't miss an opportunity because of a few small things, burying your talent in vain."

When Yang Shiqi heard Zhu Yunxi's earnest teachings, he was moved and knelt down.

"Your Highness!"

"The students are so rebellious, openly questioning the emperor and questioning His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness even disregarded his past suspicions, and earnestly tried to save the international students and students...... The students are so ashamed, woo woo woo ......

"Students must keep in mind His Highness's teachings, good students take the exam, woo woo woo ......"

Zhu Yunxi saw that Yang Shiqi was so easily moved, and his heart was as happy as if he had eaten a twist flower.

Is this his own domineering spirit?

Wow quack!

When Yang Shiqi left Xiaolonglou crying, he happened to bump into several carriages rushing over.

He suddenly had an ominous premonition, the imperial grandson should not meet many people tonight, right?

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly saw a man getting out of the carriage. This person he knew, it was Yang Rong from Jianning, Fujian!

"Brother Yang Rongxian, have you also been recruited by the emperor's grandson?"

Yang Rong didn't reply to Yang Shiqi's words, but fished out another person from the car with his backhand.

Yang Shiqi was even more shocked when he saw this person, this person is also surnamed Yang, and he is Yang Pu, the head of Huguang Shi.

These two people, like themselves, are both young and famous, even among this wave of scholars who are rushing to take the exam.

"Both of you have been recruited by the Imperial Grandson!"

Yang Rong pointed to the back of the carriage.

"It should be more than that, it seems that the people who are a little famous this time have been called by the imperial grandson......

"This ......"

As soon as Yang Shiqi saw the carriage with a long line behind him, he immediately felt that today's summons of the imperial grandson was not fragrant. But he thought about it, no matter how many people the imperial grandson summoned today, he was the first to be summoned!

Yang Shiqi had such an idea, his heart was much more comfortable, and he was not so resistant to the "big pot rice" rewarded by the emperor's grandson, but a little lucky.

Zhu Yunxi is like this for everyone in the follow-up, showing his humble mansion, and then playing a bitter card, saying how difficult the imperial court's finances are, and he and the emperor's grandfather are frugal and frugal, and then encourages the scholars to take the exam well, don't live up to the ten-year cold window......

It's a cliché, but it's useful.

It is the first time for many poor princes to have such close contact with the imperial grandson, not to mention that the imperial grandson really chatted with them attentively, even if the imperial grandson read according to the manuscript, it was enough to make them grateful.

When Zhu Yunxi mechanically gave people chicken blood, Lao Zhu had already been stunned for several times.

Because Zhu Yunxi was tied up, Lao Zhu was particularly concerned about Zhu Yunxi's safety, and the first thing he did after waking up was to ask his eldest grandson if he would return to the palace.

"Back to the emperor, someone came from the Qianqing Palace just now, saying that the imperial grandson has not come back yet, and he is still staying at the Hope Academy to meet the candidates who made trouble this time."

Lao Zhu looked at the big clock placed in the living room, and when he saw that it was already halfway through, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"This rebel is used to being a good man!"

"Originally, we were going to kill thousands of people today, but we were disturbed by this rebel grandson, and we were stunned that no one was killed!"

"How can you do something as big as changing the law without killing some people?"

"This rebel grandson is whimsical, let's not believe it, he can carry it out if he doesn't kill people!"

Qin Deshun directly ignored Lao Zhu's complaints, and just praised when it came to the imperial grandson.

"Your Majesty, the imperial grandson is also benevolent and righteous, and I can't bear to let you bear the infamy."

Lao Zhu also knew the eldest grandson's thoughts, but when he thought that his arrangement had been destroyed, he was always a little unhappy in his heart.

"Alas!"

"Let him go."

"Emperor, here is a list of officials who participated in the trouble, please take a look......

Lao Zhu took the list handed over by Qin Deshun, glanced at it casually, and saw that there were some small shrimps on it, so he immediately took out a pen to write and draw on the list, and then threw the list to Qin Deshun.

"Catch them all!"

"The vacant position will be replaced by the person we appointed, and the decree will be sent overnight tonight, and the official uniform will also be sent over......

"No!"

The next morning, every civil and military official went to court as usual as if nothing happened, and performed as usual.

But under the attention of trust, some familiar faces disappeared and were replaced with some new faces that I had never seen before.

"Your Majesty, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Qi Tai, Qi Qi!"

"Yesterday, the candidates gathered at Hongwumen and missed the opportunity to enter Longmen."

"Wechen implores His Majesty to choose another auspicious period and summon the world's talents to enter the Dragon Gate......

Lao Zhu said lightly when he heard this.

"Tomorrow then!"

"At that time, after you enter the Dragon Gate, we will order someone to send you the exam questions!"

"No!"

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, ...... the examiner is the candidate?"

Lao Zhu Wenyan looked down, and when he saw that several officials from the Ministry of Rites were still there, he immediately said.

"Let's follow the previous selection!"

When Qi Tai heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

According to the previously decided candidates, he, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is the chief examiner!

When Qi Tai thought that he could preside over such a grand exam at such a young age, he was so excited that he wanted to flip a few heels on the main hall.

After Qi Tai retreated, officials from the Ministry of Industry came to start a few more things.

"Your Majesty, the imperial grandson recently transferred a large number of craftsmen from the Ministry of Works, saying that he wants to build a new palace......

"Exactly!"

"Your Majesty, the Jingshi City Wall is repaired......

"Exactly!"

"Your Majesty......"

"Exactly!"

I don't know if it's because some officials suddenly disappeared, but the officials in the court today seem to be very active.

Many people have to come forward and brush their faces if they have nothing to do, so that the old emperor can see that they are still there.

Lao Zhu knew their thoughts, but even if he knew, he was annoyed half to death by these shameless people.

After tossing until noon, he finally ended today's morning dynasty.

Lao Zhu returned to the harem and went straight to Concubine Guo Hui's palace.

He disposed of the people, and the examinees and his eldest grandson disposed of them, but there was still one person who did not dispose of them, and that was Zhu Yunwen, the rebel grandson.

Zhu Yunwen sounded the Dengwen drum in front of the civil and military officials and the people of the world, and admonished himself, which is really a great rebellion!

If it weren't for his father's humble sake, he should have been deposed to the edge of the sky and never let him return to Beijing!

Guo Hui was leading a group of dogs to deal with the affairs of the palace, checking the expenses in recent months, when he suddenly saw Lao Zhu walking in angrily, and immediately greeted him with a smile.

"What kind of wind is blowing the emperor today?"

Old Zhu sat down with a snort and stretched out a hand towards Guo Hui.

"Do we remember that you have a picture album of the ladies of the capital here?"

"Yes!"

"Hurry up and show it to us, let's quickly pick a daughter-in-law for that rebellious grandson, and then send him away from afar!"

When Concubine Guo Hui heard this, she panicked on the spot and hurriedly knelt in front of Lao Zhu.

"Dare to ask the emperor, why did the imperial grandson annoy you again, you want to send him away?"

Lao Zhu asked incomprehensibly.

"Who said to send him, let's say send the other one!"

"Zhu Yunwen?"

Lao Zhu nodded depressedly.

"Who else but him......

"We really hurt him in vain, and even joined forces with outsiders to scold our grandfather, let's ......."

When Concubine Guo Hui heard that it was not Zhu Yunxi, she immediately got up from the ground, and then happily went to get the album for Lao Zhu.

"Emperor, here are all the ladies of officials above the fifth grade in the capital, aged between thirteen and seventeen......

Lao Zhu took the album and flipped through it, then raised his head and asked with an unhappy face.

"Are they all above the fifth grade, and are there any lower ones?"

"Lower?"

Guo Huifei's eyes fluttered, and she immediately realized that this was an opportunity.

"Emperor, how low do you want?"

"Below the seventh grade!"

"This child is simple-minded, and his wife's maternal status is too high, so it's easy for him to think about it."

"But it can't be too low, if it's too low, your eyelids will be shallow and you will lose royal face......

"Emperor, the concubine has a suitable candidate, the concubine has a distant relative, and there is a girl in the family who is the same age, but her father's grade is too low......

"How low?"

"City Gate Ruler......"
