Zhang Yan got up to send him off, remembered something again, and asked: "When I went to greet the concubine yesterday, Concubine Liang's sister said that she likes cats and asked the concubine, what are the rules and taboos in the palace. ”

Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, and then pursed the corners of his mouth.

Concubine Wang Liang must have heard that there was a Xiaobai thing in the Qianqing Palace, so she didn't like it, or she really liked cats, but the ultimate goal was to please herself and get more favor.

"If you want to have a cat, let her keep it, I also have one!" Zhu Youxiao didn't care, who let his three daughters-in-law and children, no one want to stay alone in the empty room.

Zhang Yan nodded with a smile and said, "Then the concubine will tell Concubine Liang like this." ”

Zhu Youxiao suddenly approached, kissed Zhang Yan on the face, and turned around and walked out of the hall with a smile.

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then Xia Fei was full of faces. A demure and virtuous little woman, where do you know what to kiss goodbye.

Zhu Youxiao returned to the Qianqing Palace under the escort of the palace people and went directly to the Dongnuan Pavilion.

When I entered the East Warm Pavilion, I didn't see Zhang Yuer outside. Zhu Youxiao didn't care, and was just about to step into the room, his eyes flashed, and he stopped with a smile.

Zhang Yuer's bed clearly shows a pair of soles, what is this girl doing inside, looking for a cat?

There was not much time, the two feet slowly rubbed back, revealing the skirt, Xiaobai got out first, saw Zhu Youxiao, and meowed.

Zhang Yuer crawled out upside down, her hair was still stained with cobweb dust, and she just got up on the edge of the bed, and when she turned her head, she saw Zhu Youxiao, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Emperor, slave maid to see the emperor." Zhang Yuer hurriedly knelt down again to salute.

"Get up!" Zhu Youxiao touched his chin and asked curiously: "What are you doing under the bed, is there a mouse hole, can you help Xiaobai catch it?" ”

"No, Emperor." Zhang Yu'er stood up and hung her head slightly embarrassed, "Slave, slave is here, hiding money." ”

Zhu Youxiao blinked his eyes and understood.

Isn't it just that the dismissal of the palace people just let people leave empty-handed, and they also confidently said that the food and lodging have been exhausted.

Zhu Youxiao set a salary for the palace people, six taels of silver a year, and only five yuan a month, which is really enough to search.

But Zhu Youxiao can't help it, and he has a lot of money, and he can save a little. Besides, Shengmien and Doumiqiu don't dare to set the salary too high all at once.

The key is that there was no salary at all before, but now five yuan a month has made the palace people overjoyed and shouted "The emperor's grace is vast".

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao also paid a repayment, starting from himself, which is equivalent to paying two years' salary at once.

So, Zhang Yuer was rich, twelve taels of silver, but this girl was happy and worried.

I have the money in my hand, but I have nowhere to spend it for the time being! You can't carry all your belongings every day, it's too inconvenient.

After two days of worry, Zhang Yuer finally thought of a good way and found a good place, that is, to hide the silver under the bed.

Just do it if you think about it, and when the emperor didn't come back, and while the other palace people were not there, this girl started to act.

Zhu Youxiao shook his head, but twelve taels of silver, look at this girl's baby.

"It's full of gray nets, hurry up and clean it up." Zhu Youxiao turned around and went into the inner room, took a few copies of the recital, and went to the imperial study again.

As soon as he sat down in the imperial study, Wang Tiqian held a box and presented it, and reported: "Emperor, this is sent by the Zhenfu Division this morning. ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded, checked the seal of the box, and then opened it, took out the secret report inside and looked at it.

The first one is about Zhang Heming, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who asked for a trip but stayed slowly. According to Jinyiwei's estimate, within ten days and half a month, Zhang Dashangshu will not be able to reach Shanhaiguan.

Hmph, Zhu Youxiao sneered and put away the secret report. In less than half a month, Zhang Heming will be dismissed, and he doesn't have to answer this cowardly straw bag.

The second secret report was sent from the Dongjiang Army, after the capture of the Yellow Bone Fort. It mainly introduces the process of the Dongjiang Army's operations and the number of enemies killed and wounded.

After Zhu Youxiao read it, he thought for a while, and then put away the secret report.

Judging from the secret report, although the Dongjiang Army was newly established, its morale was very high. Combat power, with the strengthening of training and the increase of equipment, there should be a lot of room for growth.

This made Zhu Youxiao more determined to open a town in Dongjiang, and also had a little more insight into his analysis of "whether the Liao people are available".

The third secret report was sent by Jinyiwei from Tongzhou, Shuntian Prefecture, and the investigation of Li Sancai, the former governor of Caoyun, who had been dismissed, was basically completed.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the approximate numbers listed on the secret report, his face was expressionless, his eyes narrowed slightly, and finally put things away.

Zhang Yuer cleaned up and hugged the white lady into the imperial study.

Zhu Youxiao glanced up at her, stretched out his finger and pointed, but did not speak.

Zhang Yuer understood, obediently walked to his small desk in the corner and sat down, opened the "Thousand Character Text", honestly sharpened the ink and pen, and began to write.

"The Emperor." Wang Tiqian walked in and reminded respectfully, "It's time to go to the court." ”

Zhu Youxiao snorted, walked out of the imperial study with a few copies, and walked towards the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

…………………

The examination will end on February 18, and the palace examination will be held on March 15, with an interval of half a month.

The results of the examination were announced on February 28, and a total of 410 people became tributes, and Huiyuan was won by a person named Li Yizao.

Although there is no palace examination, these tributes are already from Jinshi or Tongjinshi.

Because the palace test is not degraded, it is only ranked, what champion, list, tanhua, what is the first class jinshi, the second class jinshi, and the third class jinshi.

Therefore, the tributes who will try to make the list are rejoicing and have reached their goals, and all that remains is to go one step further and strive for a good ranking and more glory.

And those who failed to make the list also had two more chances this year, although many of them dismissed it and even thought it was humiliating.

"Wenju people become martial artists—"

Many of the losers pouted, where is this Yuelongmen, stained with a martial word, and their identities have been lowered by more than one level, who is rare.

"If you are under the age of 20, you can also sign up for the Academy of Sciences to learn agronomy, water conservancy, and other practical studies, and one year later you will be appointed by the imperial court according to your talents."

Everything is inferior, only reading is high. What kind of agronomy, water conservancy, and gewu, isn't it a side technique, a strange skill?

Academy of Sciences, this name is so strange, or believe in the Hongyi Sect Lord Xu Guangqi as the dean, graduated from there, can you mix well in the officialdom?

Hey, there is also this contribution to the "Daming Forum", and the manuscript fee will be paid if it is published!

What about this, the proposal to the imperial court to benefit the country and the country, the imperial court has a reward, and it can even be promoted to an official, a bit like the self-recommendation of his talents in the Han and Tang dynasties, right?
