Enke means the imperial court plus grace to pardon the kofu.

Enke began in the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, and also used this system.

In addition to the ordinary routine examinations, the Qing Dynasty held special examinations during the imperial court celebrations, also known as "Enke".

If Zhengke and Enke are combined, it is called Enzheng and Enke.

And what Zhu Youxiao is talking about now is the latter kind, and after he explained Enke to Sun Chengzong, Sun Chengzong was also a little excited.

He said to Zhu Youxiao convincingly, "Your Majesty can think so much about the scholars, it is really a great blessing for the scholars. ”

"In this way, the students will have to wait for two less years, and next year, it will be a lot of people who have studied for four years, which is really Your Majesty's great grace."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Sun Chengzong's so happy and convinced appearance, his mouth opened slightly, and he looked a little surprised, did Sun Chengzong misunderstand something?

Sun Chengzong was still moving himself, and Zhu Youxiao here couldn't help it anymore, and asked, "Old Sun Ge, do you understand my intentions?" ”

Sun Chengzong wiped his tears and said, "Your Majesty's statement, isn't that a favor to scholars?" ”

Zhu Youxiao sneered, he finally decided that the other party had a complete misunderstanding.

Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said, "This is not for the love of readers, but for the butcher's knife mentioned for readers." ”

Sun Chengzong was taken aback when he heard this, "Why did Your Majesty say this?" ”

He really couldn't imagine what the relationship between this Enko and the butcher's knife mentioned to the scholar was?

I only saw Zhu Youxiao coming from this hall and walked straight to Sun Chengzong's side, and then said slowly: "Enke, which has been open for two consecutive years, what is this for?" ”

"That's used to fill the grassroots officials, and those middle-level and low-level officials had to rise up before, so how did these positions come out?"

Sun Chengzong finally understood.

When a person dies, won't that position come out!

"That's what I told you just now, I have already ordered to prepare to crack down on corruption, but it is conceivable that it will not be one or two officials or two officials who will fall, not even one or two hundred officials, or even thousands of officials, this is not certain."

"If there are more officials, there will naturally be more positions, and it will not be a big deal to hold the imperial examination every year in the future."

Sun Chengzong's eyes widened, but he didn't expect Zhu Youxiao's so-called Enke to come from this kind of thought.

I only saw Zhu Youxiao continue, "But it's not enough for this reason, I want you to be corrupt, but this matter is naturally not good." ”

"Let you be the main examiner of Enke for two years, just to add a halo to your head and make you less stressed."

"This year, you will be the main examiner, and next year Liu Hongxun will be the main exam."

"Let's select more talents for me, I am also for your name before and after."

When Sun Chengzong heard these words, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a while.

Zhu Youxiao's approach did protect their reputation behind them.

Because it is conceivable that they killed so many scholars, they should have a bad reputation after death.

But if Sun Chengzong and Liu Hongxun were to be the main examiners of Enke for two or three years, when these officials from Enke climbed up, they would speak for them.

Even if they die, with these protégés, their reputation will not be much worse in the future.

I'm just afraid.

At that time, such a bad reputation will have to be borne by Zhu Youxiao, and it is not good to say that after Zhu Youxiao's death in the future, he will have another reputation as a faint king.

Zhu Youxiao understood the meaning in Sun Chengzong's eyes, but he didn't care too much.

"The entire Ming Dynasty is mine, as long as I am alive, then no one in the Ming Dynasty can turn the sky regardless of internal and external troubles, after I die......

Zhu Youxiao chuckled and said a famous sentence.

"Even if the flood is monstrous after my death, I will be beaten as the first faint king of the ages, so what is the problem for me?"

"I'm dead anyway, so they can't drag me out of the grave and whip me, right?"

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he smiled bitterly.

He didn't know whether to say that Zhu Youxiao was broad or what.

The main Ming Dynasty is not over yet, who really dares to drag this Zhu Youxiao out of the grave and whip the corpse.

Zhu Youxiao patted Sun Chengzong on the shoulder, or out of encouragement, "Go ahead and do it, there will be more people to kill when the time comes." ”

Sun Chengzong left you Wende Palace, but his mood did not seem so relaxed.

He even forgot what he was doing when he came here to find Zhu Youxiao?

In his mind, there was only the last sentence that Zhu Youxiao said to him, "In the future, Sun Ge Lao's hands will be covered with blood." ”

At this time, the whole Nanyang was already boiling, and the Spaniards, Dutch, and Hongmao Fan, all of them were talking about a problem in taverns and streets with great interest.

That is, the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty sent some emissaries to buy a large number of shares of the East India Company.

Now everyone knows that something happened to the East India Company recently, and many of the East India Company's merchant ships and warships were sunk by strong winds, and some merchant ships were robbed by bandits.

The East India Company's financial report for this year must have been extremely ugly.

After the earnings report comes out, the price of the stock will fall further.

It doesn't even take a later time, and the stock price of their current East India Company is less than three percent of the original.

I'm afraid that when the East India Company's financial report comes out, or even the East India Company goes bankrupt, the stocks in the hands of the stupid emperor will become pieces of waste paper.

The tavern was full of laughter, and all kinds of Western merchants were drinking, watching the dancers on the stage dancing and scratching their heads.

A Spanish merchant named Thor bragged to his younger brothers.

"I have long heard that the stupid pig emperor of the Ming Empire has a lot of silver in his hands, and a little leakage is enough for thousands of ordinary people to eat and drink."

"But I didn't expect that this stupid pig emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not only rich, but also so stupid."

"You know what? I'm afraid that the Ming Emperor can't even figure out what the stock is, and he doesn't even know what our East India Company is doing. ”

"As you can imagine, the share price of the East India Company is now just over 20 percent, or even less than 30 percent."

"But the stupid emperor of the Ming Dynasty used thirty and a half percent of the price to buy the shares of the East India Company, and obviously gave us a profit of one percent, which is really stupid."

Most of the people around me had such an experience, and they laughed when they heard this.

Simon, who was next to him, was a water thief leader from England, and said with a smile, "Thor, looking at it this way, we really should have a big drink for this stupid emperor of the Ming Dynasty." ”

In fact, his people laughed together.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
