Chapter 12: A plan of its own
In the early dynasty, Sheng Jingming casually flipped through Prime Minister Zhang Qing's recitals, and there was Zhang Qing's vocal appeal below.
"Because of the death of the first emperor, the imperial examination of the great cadres has been repeatedly delayed, and the students have been studying hard for ten years, how can they be so delayed!"
"The minister's letter is pleased, I hope that the imperial examination will start next month, and the students will have a bright future!"
Zhang Qing snapped and knelt on the ground, a handful of old bones were still working so hard, it was really a little unacceptable.
Sheng Jingming didn't speak, but the information about Zhang Qing flashed in his mind, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the orderly conduct of the imperial examination was to help Zhang Qing recruit.
For Sheng Jingming, there is no harm but no benefit.
After all, what the scholars and students outside scolded him for, he still had a little 13 in his heart.
It's just that the imperial examination is indeed a good thing, and it can't be stopped because of one's own efforts, so it is the country's eternal sinner.
"Palm prints, students are the hope of the great cadres! You can't stop the fresh blood from pouring into Daqian because of the dispute over the power of the court! ”
Zhang Qing raised his head, with an old face and tears, he almost pointed at Sheng Jingming's nose and scolded him for being selfish.
Sheng Jingming sighed, everyone standing here, they all had eight hundred hearts and eyes, and they even unanimously targeted him.
In less than an hour, the rumors of Sheng Jingming's intention to cancel the imperial examination would spread all over the streets, and he once again became the public enemy of the people.
Sheng Jingming once again understood why the ancient people didn't live long, and they were tired to death when they were full of research every day!
"The prime minister said with a smile, I should naturally support such a good thing that benefits the country and the people."
He supported his face with one hand, his eyes scanned the hundreds of officials below, and finally sneered: "It's just that all the colleagues here are not worthy of being the chief examiner." ”
The two words of unworthiness are really serious, and the group of people below can't hang their faces.
Especially Zhang Qing, the champion of the great cadres of the year, was said by a eunuch that he was not worthy?
The murmuring sound below, as well as all kinds of angry eyes, Sheng Jingming didn't pay attention to it at all, and he sat proudly in the first place.
As long as he sat under the dragon chair for a day, this group of people couldn't do anything about him.
"I already have the most suitable candidate for the examiner in my heart, the person who has won the champion for three consecutive years - Master Ledao."
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Master Ledao is still a popular figure to this day, and the most glorious time was when he won the title of champion three times.
For the first time, because he was not used to the flattering style of his colleagues, he was directly dismissed.
The second time, as a military advisor who went out with the army, he did not obey the emperor's orders, resulting in the loss of three cities and the dismissal.
The third time, on the day of accepting the champion, Master Le Dao bluntly expressed his dissatisfaction with Emperor Qianxing's punishment of him, and even said that if he had obeyed the emperor's orders, it was estimated that he would have lost five cities in a row, and scolded Emperor Qianxing in the main hall.
It seems that Master Le Dao participated in the imperial examination for the third time, just to scold Emperor Qianxing...
Three imperial examinations, two full of dedication to the country, but the results are chilling again and again.
No one thinks that Master Le Dao is not worthy of being the chief examiner, but is such a hot-tempered person willing to return to this court that disappointed him so much?
Zhang Qing's face was very embarrassed, and his fists were clenched.
Master Le Dao participated in the imperial examination for the third time that year, and his series of crazy behaviors led to Zhang Qing picking up a bargain and ascending to the throne.
It's just that, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Qing has never been a legitimate champion.
This matter has always been in Zhang Qing's heart, and now that Sheng Jingming mentions it again, it is inevitable that he will be a little angry.
Zhang Qing couldn't help but speak: "The palm print is so courageous, but as we all know, Master Ledao has been hidden in the mountains and forests for many years, and I don't know if the palm print can be sure to invite Master Ledao out of the mountain?" ”
"You don't care about this, the imperial examination is carried out in an orderly manner, and I have my own clever plan."
Sheng Jingming decisively suppressed this matter and didn't mention it, and jumped directly to the next person, his behavior of not taking Zhang Qing in his eyes ignited the anger in Zhang Qing's heart.
It's just a pity that no one cares about the emotions of the loser.
Sheng Jingming fought wits and courage in the court, and Qian Zhaozhi was not idle.
She flipped through the territory of Daqian, searching everywhere for information related to Wang Chengshen.
This was the first time Sheng Jingming had clearly expressed what he needed to do with Qian Zhaozhi, and he had already put everything in front of her.
If she can't successfully subdue Wang Chengshen, it's a bit unreasonable...
