Qianqing Palace.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and take it out. Zhu Yuanzhang urged: "If you don't know Yu Xi's Xi, that word will be pronounced 'qi'." ”

Zhu Zhenxin said that it is okay to read 'play', he happened to learn this word in Guozixue, oh yes!

Of course, he didn't dare to correct his father, this old thief was narrow-minded, maybe he would let himself study in Guozi for a few more months and know a few more words. That's going to kill him.

So he didn't say anything, calmed down, and quickly found a box with 'Yu Xi of the Ministry of Officials', and pulled out a small copper drawer, which contained a stack of brocade guards' of 'Sun Cheng'.

Zhu Zhen took out the stack of sun presentations and presented them to the front of the emperor.

"Let's see." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.

"Yes." Zhu Zhen flipped through the date and read it from the earliest one.

Since the eighth day of the first month of last month, Yu Butang's detailed words and deeds from morning to night every day have been exposed in front of his eyes at a glance.

It's really detailed to the perverted kind - from when Yu Xi got up, what he ate for breakfast, what he said to his family, to what he discussed in the yamen, and met those people alone, to going home at night, what he used for dinner, what kind of thoughtful words he said to his wife, which concubine he slept with, how many times he did it at night, what position, and what props he used...... Everything is very detailed, and it is clearly recorded.

I don't know how others feel when they see it, anyway, the sixth child is creepy, if he is also watched so closely, then he scolds the old thief every day in private, will he be ...... Beat him to death.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but swallow. It seems that we will have to be careful in the future......

"Yu Xi is the secretary of the ministry, and he is in charge of the promotion and deposition of officials in the world, and the position is too important, so let's let your fourth brother focus on it, this is very reasonable, right?" Seeing the shock on the face of the sixth man who couldn't hide it, the old thief was also a little embarrassed, and said haha.

"Reasonable, very reasonable...... Lao Liu hurriedly covered up: "He still likes to play chess with Wang Guangyang." ”

"Wang Guangyang, I thought he was already rotten, but I didn't expect it to ......be honest" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice:

"At first, we thought he was behind the scenes, but then we found out that he was not, he was just the object of their efforts. In order to restore the imperial examination, these people really did everything. ”

"How can I say that he is also a dignified prime minister and a loyal and diligent uncle, even if he has been slacking off in the past two years, his influence is there." The sixth smiled and continued to look down. I saw the record on the sixth day of the first month of this month - Yu Butang invited the teacher of the year, Chen Qianfu, an assistant teacher of Guozixue, to play chess at home The conversation is as follows......

~~

That day, in Yufu's study, Yu Xi and Chen Qianfu were playing against each other.

After leaving a son, Chen Qianfu, who was gray-haired and good-looking, said with a smile:

"Now that public opinion has been paved, you don't have anything to worry about now, right?"

Mao Ben is Yu Xi's character, he was born with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome and plump, and looks less than forty years old.

He is also very young indeed.

Yu Xi is the son of a tweezer in Kunshan, but there are few talents, from Yin Kui and Chen Qianfu, and he is good at learning from "Spring and Autumn". Hongwu five years was recommended by the division into the court, the emperor personally tried after the great good, awarded the Cheng Lang, after the establishment of the Department of General Affairs for the senator, last year to worship the Ministry of Shangshu......

Although because of the frequent formatting of the Ming officialdom, the officials of this era are normally overpromoted, but it is still rare for him to worship Otsuka as quickly. is not well-known for his ability and character, no matter how much Boss Zhu prefers him, he can't be promoted to such an important position at once.

Yu Xi also knows that his foundation is shallow, so his posture is very low, and he is honest and self-disciplined on weekdays, and he is cautious in his words and deeds. So even if it was a request from his teacher, he was still very cautious and did not agree to it.

But at this time, Chen Qianfu came to the door for the second time, and also brought the news that the scholars and officials of the country had jointly impeached Song Ne, and if he didn't agree, he really couldn't say it.

After pondering for a moment, Yu Xi said:

"Teacher, rest assured, seventy Zhishi is a rule of the imperial court, and the officials will normally transfer the following to the Song sacrifice wine."

Saying that, he smiled and explained: "It's just that an official at the level of Song Saijiu is usually going to report his majesty's resignation, but I am afraid that the emperor wants to keep him, and the officials will not be able to do anything at that time." Therefore, public opinion needs to be created first, so that the emperor is unlikely to retain him. ”

"Well, I will continue to mobilize the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory and attack them in groups." Chen Qianfu nodded.

"Okay, in two days, I will arrange for the examination department to give him the following information, and order him to serve as scheduled." Yu Xi bowed his head and said: "Then who will take over, is there a candidate for the teacher?" ”

"Just Wang Siye." Chen Qianfu lost another son.

"This person is not very good, his ability is mediocre, and he likes to mess around, and he makes a mess everywhere." Yu Xi smiled bitterly: "I really don't know how he gets better and better." ”

"Because he is from western Zhejiang." Chen Qianfu smiled faintly, glanced at Yu Xi and said: "When we old guys recommended you to enter the court as an official, the old man told you that only fellow villagers are their own people. ”

"Yes. Master taught that no one in the court can be relied on, only fellow villagers. Yu Xi nodded helplessly, although he is an upright official, but his father and brother have been poor all his life, how can he resist the temptation? has long been arranged by the big townspeople, and has lived a life of spending days and drinking.

So whether it is morally or realistically, he can't refuse the other party's request at all. Yu Xi sighed lightly: "Isn't there any other candidate for the teacher?" Such a person must be sacrificial wine. ”

"It is necessary to use this kind of person to completely mess up Guozixue. Only when the country learns rotten, can our plan be realized. Chen Qianfu was unmoved.

"If the country's study is rotten, can the imperial examination be resumed?" Yu Xi smiled bitterly and fell.

"Absolutely." Chen Qianfu nodded heavily, and said confidently: "There are three main ways for me to elect talents as officials-recommendation, imperial examination and school. ”

"Now the recommendation is rotten. There are no more talents like Liu Bowen and Song Qianxi, and even talents like Maoben are gone.

"The so-called relics of the village sages recommended over the years have been in a cold sweat and speechless when they arrive at the Golden Palace, just like Qin Wuyang seeing King Qin. And the knowledge is very short, the emperor gives them officials, and they can't be good. ”

"That's right. In the past few years of assessment, the worst is these recommenders. Yu Xi nodded and said, "I don't know why." ”

"What else can be the reason...... Chen Qianfu laughed and said, "The emperor has broken the rules." Back then, he killed Gao Qi, who refused to be an official, how could a famous scholar in the world be willing to serve him again. Therefore, there is an uncle and nephew of Jiangxi Xia Boqi, in order to refuse the imperial court's recruitment, everyone amputated the big finger of his left hand and avoided becoming an official by self-harm. ”

"Hmm......" Yu Xi nodded, he didn't know about the case of Xia Boqi's uncle and nephew who had made a lot of noise back then.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang later cut off the other nine fingers and heads of the two people, it had a great impact on the Da Ming scholars. It also made the relationship between the two sides, which was already disgusted with each other, worse.
