On May 18, the temple examination that was supposed to be held in March of the 15th year of Zhengde was finally held.

Under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the tributes walked among the guards of the Forbidden Palace.

I didn't dare to look around, but the corner of my eye still looked at the West Corner Gate, which made the former Great Uncle Zong angry and degraded.

There, there was also a great court meeting in the heavy rain after the fire of the Nichimen Gate, and there were hundreds of civil and military officials who asked for Yu Qian, which was destined to be written into the history books.

The graduating students imagined what it was like to be at that time and how their seniors felt in it.

Longing is for some people, Huang Zuo only feels afraid.

After entering the Mukden Gate, you will see the Mukden Hall with a full set of honor guards, and it is said that His Majesty has run in circles here.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites guided the tributes to stand on the east and west sides of the Danqi in front of the Fengtian Temple, and then the officials of the Honglu Temple asked for the ascension to the temple.

"Your Majesty, please give me advice."

Zhang Jin held the policy with both hands and put it on the policy case. Subsequently, the deacon of the temple examination carefully moved the proposal to the center under the verandah of the Fengtian Temple.

Today's weather is fine, and the question is answered on the gimbal.

The desks were neatly arranged, but the Gongsheng had to prepare their own pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and twelve pieces of paper each for the straw roll and the main roll.

After years of hard study, now that I have reached the last level, I only need to solve the problem.

Guanglu Temple has also begun to make lunches for the examiners, deacons and candidates. The officials had a higher standard, and the candidates' lunch was very simple: two steamed buns and a bowl of soup.

As for the food in Guanglu Temple, where can the candidates take care of this?

The officials of the Ministry of Rites finally began to distribute the questions, and Zhang Xuan finally silently recited in his heart the ancestral remarks of His Majesty and the seventeen scholars of the Jinke Section.

Don't look down on this, some paper readers see that a certain word in the candidate's exam paper has violated the name of his ancestors.

When the question was sent to Zhang Xuan, he was stunned after opening it.

This topic is sprinkled with more than 200 words, and he looks at it with just two words: rich country.

His Majesty asked: Why is the country rich?

Is he losing money?

But...... This topic seems to work in my favor!

What Zhu Houxi is thinking about is indeed money.

With so many things to do, which one can be separated from money?

Changing into the emperor's regular clothes, Zhu Houxi only looked out at the door of the hall.

He knew that Zhang Xuan was in this group of people, and the main force of the Great Rites Discussion in Lao Qin's mouth now did not have the room to play before.

But this reformist should be better in the face of this problem, right?

Anyway, Lao Qin didn't remember which year's champion was or what his achievements were.

Zhu Houxi didn't go outside to watch the tribute students answer the questions, and the invigilator was a little annoying when he walked around next to him during the college entrance examination, not to mention that he was still the emperor?

The palace exam lasts all day, and Zhu Houxi doesn't have to wait here all the time after he comes to give out the questions.

If you want to express the importance of the temple exam, just go for a walk in the afternoon.

Or ran for a while in the morning.

Last night, dealing with the preliminary internal screening results of Jinyiwei handed over by Luo An, Zhu Houxi slept a little late.

The palace test was very formal, and he got up early.

Back in the Qianqing Palace, he first ordered: "Bathing." ”

Yuan Zonggao set the palace test the day after he released Zhu Houzhao, just to let him appear in front of the new science and technology jinshi with a better image.

The smell of sweat must not remain in the afternoon.

Zhu Qingping immediately beckoned Gao Zhong to call the eunuchs of the Mixed Hall Division to prepare, while Huang Jin was catching up on sleep - he was keeping vigil last night.

While taking a bath, Zhu Houxi asked: "What did the bullet seal handed over by the Metropolitan Procuratorate say after it was sent to Renshou Palace?" ”

Zhu Qingping was waiting outside the screen with her clothes in her hands: "The Empress Dowager Cishou naturally reprimanded Yuan Jinsheng for pretending to be Yizhi. ”

"Okay, just know it." Zhu Houxi said lightly, "This Fang Feng is a wonderful pen, even the Queen Mother and the Emperor I are not strict have lost a few words, and Zhang Jin and Zhang Zuo have not lost a single one of them." ”

Zhu Qingping did not comment.

"It's almost time for the queen mother to leave for Beijing, right?" Zhu Houxi stood up and walked out wearing only intimate clothes.

The weather is getting hotter, and all you need to do is put on another piece of clothing outside.

"I think so, Your Majesty will be able to reunite with the family soon."

Zhu Houxi smiled and looked down at her helping him dress, and Zhu Qingping was also dressed a little thinner after the heat.

The eldest sister was busy around him, the dark fragrance floated and the placket was swaying, and Zhu Houxi couldn't help but take a few more looks.

The weather was indeed much hotter.

After Zhu Qingping's ears retreated slightly red, Zhu Houxi's gaze moved away as if nothing had happened, and he shouted heroically as he walked out: "Zhang Zuo, go and pass on the decree: Today's topic, before the end of the month, the counselors in the Beijing Dynasty will give me a policy essay!" ”

……

The holy decree came out, and the Manjing Dynasty counselors were all anesthetic.

What does it mean to take the palace exam for the palace exam, to test the question of the tribute students, and to let all the court counselors answer a policy essay?

But you can't say that this is outrageous, after all, most of them are also from Jinshi and came to the palace test. After many years of experience as an official, can't you answer a palace test essay?

No, there are really people who can't answer, and their heads are almost bald.

Among the court counselors, there are also military generals.

"Master? Old rich, isn't your son in the Guozijian? Xiaomei, you go to find the brother of the Ninth Lady! ”

The Marquis of Wuding's mansion is like a great enemy, although Guo Xun is commanding all the soldiers and horses like a general, but he has no sense of calmness at all, and some are only anxious.

It's too difficult, he won't do it!

Unlike people like Guo Xun, a large number of middle- and lower-level court counselors are excited.

Where is this test? This is the question!

Why a rich country? Your Majesty not only wants to see what the Gongsheng have to say, but also wants the Manchu Dynasty to give advice and advice!

Listening to it is clear, there is nothing more than this, right?

Whoever has a good way will be the next Xia Yan and the next Yan Song!

In the Wenyuan Pavilion, the four ministers were silenced.

It's really not a matter of etiquette.

But why is it a rich country...... Everyone who understands understands it, this topic can be small or big, it all depends on Gongsheng's vision.

Because in fact, everything in state is related to money.

His Majesty's sentence "Etiquette depends on money" is still in my ears that day, will there be candidates who will welcome the holy will from this perspective?

That's not much at the moment.

"Your Majesty wants to double the income in ten years, and I often have this worry in my heart." Liang Chu spoke first, "The rest of the decrees in the enthronement edict and the re-establishment of the three major battalions are actually all related to money and food. Now those things cannot be discussed for the time being, because the rich country has no clue about the policy. Now that His Majesty has ordered his ministers to offer advice, he should have already saved this idea. After the palace examination is over, after Fei Zichong and others enter Beijing, it should be time to discuss everything. ”

Yang Tinghe continued to be silent, and Mao Ji expressed his opinion: "The palace tried to ask the strategy of enriching the country, and some people among the tributes and courtiers must talk about the Xining reform in the past. Nowadays......"

What he said was the reason why the four of them were so silent before: the emperor made such a big fanfare, could it be that he released a signal to change the law?

Reform and change the law, that is different.

One is to rinse off the obvious filth on the clothes that have been worn for many years and give them a new look.

The other one, that's a change of clothes!

Hearing that Mao Ji seemed to be about to talk eloquently, Yang Tinghe coughed: "Your Majesty asks about state affairs, and it is clear if you listen to it." What Shu Hou said is extremely true, many new policies are to reform the malpractices and try to renew, and the fact that they have not yet been resolved is indeed stretched thin because of money and food. Ten times the annual income, to what extent do we need to open up sources and reduce expenditure? I'm afraid it's extremely difficult. Talking about changing the law or not, after all, is just talking about ......"

No one knows what the emperor wants to do.

Isn't he serious? Why is such a signal being sent now?

This is "the big deal" and "don't turn the spoon"?

It's okay to talk about this matter, that young genius should just throw stones and ask for directions, and see how difficult it is to move some big questions, right?

Yu Qian's name has not been decided, and there are still many discussions in Beijing.

Now let's talk about whether the new monarch will implement the new law, so what's the point?

On the surface, everything is the same as the old court, and the backlog of undercurrents is becoming more and more turbulent.

Which change is not a real reshuffle?

Yang Tinghe, who thought that the emperor had entered the mode of not making trouble, finally understood today that he still did not have the intention of stopping making trouble.

But in a different way.

A way that has made many middle- and lower-level officials beat their blood, and a signal that will make many people's hearts flutter.

If you want to change the law and try to become stronger, who will follow it, and who will stop it?
