Chapter Seventy-Eight: Controlling the Water and Seeking Yu, the Wind Rises in Nanxiang

"Ministers are at the disposal of His Majesty!" The officials of the Ministry of Industry immediately expressed their authenticity together.

The position of the waiter of the Ministry of Works is undoubtedly attractive, after all, it is a real three-grade Beijing official, and he can be crowned a wife and a son after the nine-year examination. It's just that if you don't do well in the exam or don't study well, then you will lose the official position that you have not won easily.

This incident has undoubtedly caused polarization, some talented officials of the Ministry of Industry see the opportunity, and some of the secretaries of the Ministry of Straw Bale are trembling at the moment.

After all, this matter is something that Zhu Youzhu can't complain about, everything is their own fault, after all, it is the most basic official ethics to seek government in his position.

The sky outside the canopy was still overcast, but there was no sign of rain.

As in the previous examination of the Ministry of Households, although the number of personnel was far less than that of the 13th Division of the Ministry of Households, the officials of the 4th Division of the Ministry of Industry were full, so 16 tables and chairs were placed.

Because Zhu Youzhu personally invigilated the examination, all the officials of the Ministry of Industry did not even dare to breathe, and sat upright at the examination table and did not dare to behave in any manners.

At their level, especially under the nose of His Majesty, they naturally dare not cheat, let alone cheat at this moment.

Jia Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Chen Zheng, the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, saw that Zhu Youzhi was personally sitting in the provisional examination, so they naturally did not dare to leave, but stood next to him to invigilate the examination in an orderly manner.

After the turmoil, all the officials now realized that the Son of Heaven they had discovered earlier was wrong, so they all began to re-examine the young Son of Heaven.

Chen Zheng, the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, is a son of a military household, thanks to his hard work and studious since childhood, and now he is also in the position of the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, and he can't help but secretly observe this young emperor who is very different from the rumors.

All the courtiers thought that this new monarch lacked courage and couldn't fight the old fritter on it at all, but who wanted to come to the king fried.

Now the 12th regiment battalion is not only held in the hands of this young emperor, but now the sect party headed by Wan An has quickly taken shape, on the other hand, Qingliu, who was favored earlier, has collapsed, and even his relatives and nobles are in a cage.

After only a month of forbearance, he suddenly made a mistake in the matter of Huai'en forcing Wan'an away, and used the rumors of the waste storage to beat Qingliu and hug his head, and now the life and death of Qingyun Hou's Mansion have been held in the hands of this young emperor.

It is said that this young emperor was given a deathbed plan by the old emperor, but with such forbearance and scheming, I am afraid that the old emperor can't do it, how can it be a teacher who teaches this young son of heaven?

"Chen Zheng!" Zhu Youzhu noticed that Chen Zheng seemed to be observing himself, but he suddenly said with a calm face.

Chen Zheng knew that he had provoked the anger of the heavens, and thinking of what happened to Li Min and others, the former head of the household department, he was so frightened that he stepped forward and said, "The minister is here!" ”

"Your position as the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry must be vacated, and you should be promoted to the left attendant of the Ministry of Labor!" Zhu Youzhu didn't understand why this person was afraid of being like this, even if he made a decision.

Chen Zheng is not his ideal candidate for the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, but he has certain advantages in being able to climb this position, and being born in Guangzhou may be of great use to his future layout.

Chen Zheng's heart was already half cold when he heard the first half of the sentence, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, his heart immediately burst into joy, and then he said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty's great grace, the minister is willing to die for Your Majesty!" ”

"I don't need dead people, just do things for me with my heart!" Zhu Youzhu obviously felt that there were suddenly more loyal ministers in front of him, so he said lightly.

Jia Jun turned his head to look at Chen Zheng, remembering that this product had been saying earlier that he was going to force His Majesty to choose an official with the court, why didn't he know how to refuse when it came to his head?

When the promotion was carried out here, the sixteen test papers had already been distributed, and the officials of the Ministry of Labor opened the examination with a nervous mood.

"Question 1: On the economic benefits of building Dujiangyan and the role of Feishawei in water conservancy?"

"Question 2: On the significance of the construction of the Ling Canal and what is the purpose of the design of the large and small scales with a lower height?"

"Question 3: On the reason for the construction of the Zhengguo Canal and the real reason why the water flow cannot enter the canal and forces the constant change of the river water into the canal?"

……

Sixteen officials of the Ministry of Industry looked at the above topic, except for those who knew how to know water conservancy, the other officials couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Not to mention that these topics are unheard of, and they seem so tricky, even some officials don't even know where the spiritual canal in the question is.

But who is to blame for this? This is still related to their own diligent socialization and neglect of study, and many officials do not know where to write at the moment.

Although some people want to cry without tears, there are also people who are full of joy, and some talented officials are not afraid of this kind of topic at all.

This examination is like a big wave of sand, some officials who really have the ability to control water will emerge, and the Hongzhi Dynasty will usher in the ability to control water.

"Liu Hiiragi, what are you doing?" Chen Zheng saw Liu Jiyu, the head of the Tuntian Division, suddenly stand up with his buttocks in his hands, and scolded him sharply.

Liu Jiyu spoke with a Henan accent, still holding his fart tightly and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is only left with the last one, but the minister is really ...... I really can't hold it back, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will be abrupt here, please Xu Chen! ”

"Lead him forward!" Zhu Youzhi knew that the other party was not intentionally disrespectful, so he waved his hand gently.

Liu Jiyu was like being amnestied, and even followed the eunuch with his butt in his hands.

"Your Majesty, this person is Liu Jiyu, the director of the Tuntian Division, this young man has always had no rules, and the ministers will definitely punish him severely!" Jia Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, didn't like Liu Jiyu, a young official who lacked courtesy, and stood up and said.

Zhu Youzhu said noncommittally "um", and when he learned that this person only had the last one left, he asked someone to send this person's test papers.

Looking at the neat answers above, although there is no systematic theoretical structure knowledge like later generations, each one has already grasped the core of the question.

Why can a small Pei County produce a large group of talents such as Liu Bang, Xiao He, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Fan Xu, Xiahou Ying, Wang Ling, Zhou Chang, etc., in fact, Huaxia has never lacked talents, but talents lack a stage.

Although Zhu Youzhu didn't know what the answer would be for other Ministry of Industry officials, from the perspective of his writing and logic, this person was indeed a talent who knew how to control water.

"The fish that the minister ate yesterday was not fresh, so he had a bad stomach last night, so he really couldn't bear it, please punish Your Majesty!" Liu Jiyu returned and took the initiative to ask Zhu Youzhu for guilt.

Zhu Youzhu had already finished reading the test papers, so he asked lightly: "Where are you in Henan?" ”

"The minister is from Kaifeng Mansion, Henan, and his family is engaged in fishing!" Liu Jiyu immediately replied truthfully.

Zhu Youzhu looked at this person's dark and rough skin and concluded that it was indeed from the bottom, so he said lightly: "If you want me not to be held accountable, it's okay." I have a question here, and if you can come up with an answer that satisfies me, I can spare you this time! ”

"Your Majesty, please!" Liu Hiiragi's eyes lit up slightly, and he said confidently.

Zhu Youzhu looked at the fifteen people who were still scratching their ears and cheeks in the exam, and then asked: "The Yellow River has been many since ancient times, and the Yellow River in the north of Kaifeng has become a river in the sky, so some officials proposed to move the city earlier. Now I have this question, how should the Yellow River control the sand? ”

This......

Jia Jun and Chen Zheng couldn't help but look at each other, this question is so tricky, it is simply difficult for a strong man.

Zhu Youzhi saw that Liu Jiyu was about to reluctantly answer, but he stopped: "You don't need to answer me immediately!" If you have an answer within three days, then go to the palace and ask for an audience, otherwise go to the noon gate to receive twenty court staffs! ”

"Obey the order!" Liu Hiiragi's forehead was sweating, but he still said seriously.

After a stick of incense, the examination of the Ministry of Engineering has ended.

Zhu Youzhu took the dragon chariot back to the Qianqing Palace, but he learned from Guo Yong's mouth that Huai En was actually poisoned in the prison, and he couldn't help but feel a slight chill.

Wynne's "strangulation" in the cell last night can be said to be a planned thing, but he just agreed to meet with Wynne, and as a result, Wynne was poisoned, which may not be just a coincidence.

The reason why he agreed to Huaien's return was precisely because Huaien's "energy is too great" and his suspicion of waste storage, so he thought about letting him come back to break the situation, but he didn't expect to kill people first.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what else to order?" After Guo Yong finished reporting the matter, he asked respectfully.

Zhu Youzhu knew that Huai En and Qingyun Hou had to deal with it, so he lightly ordered: "Summons Du Ming, the secretary of the Criminal Department!" ”

"Yes!" Guo Yongdang even said.

Erya personally brought the tea, and the pair of sheep's fat jade hands put the tea cup on the table, as if she had done something wrong, but she didn't dare to look at Zhu Youzhi squarely.

Niu Mengmeng still has a big grinning temperament, and when he saw that Zhu Youzhu was going to deal with the music, he even threw his little flower cat aside, and then obediently stood in front of the desk to study ink for Zhu Youji.

Zhu Youzhu was about to put his energy back on the government affairs of the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and just turned over the recital of Huguang, but he couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Wang Yue wants to rebel? ”
