Mandarin Palace.

The prince sighed, swallowed back the words of persuasion, and asked a little gloomy, "How are the exam questions?" ”

"It's over." Zhu Zhen took out a locked wooden box from his sleeve and presented it to the prince, "Do you want to see it, big brother?" ”

"I don't look at it. You can present it directly to your father. The prince waved his hand, not wanting to make any more extraneous branches.

Zhu Zhen was left in the capital, and a very important reason was to give a question to Chunyu.

Five years ago, when Zhu Zhen was serving as the sacrificial wine of Guozi University, he carried out educational reform and made trouble with the civil and official clique. Later, the emperors and Confucianism behind them were involved, and even the tablets of Confucius and Mencius were forced to participate in the war, almost piercing the heavens.

In the end, although it was not surprising that Boss Zhu's father and son won, they were not without compromises, and the most important one was to resume the imperial examination that had been suspended for many years after three years.

At that time, it was the thirteenth year of Hongwu, and it was said that the imperial examination should be reopened in the sixteenth year. In the spring of that year, Boss Zhu recalled Zhu Zhen from Yunnan, except for the wedding, just to let him run the imperial examination.

As a result, the situation in Yunnan suddenly collapsed, and Boss Zhu had to send the sixth child back urgently, and he forcibly postponed the autumn of that year by one year.

At that time, Boss Zhu's reason was that three years later, we were referring to the seventeenth year of Hongwu, not sixteen years. Boss Zhu is playing tricks, what can the courtiers do? I can only pinch my nose to accept it.

By last year, that is, in the seventeenth year of Hongwu, the sixth child was still in Yunnan and could not be withdrawn, and Zhu Yuanzhang had no reason to delay any longer, so he had to agree to hold the autumn festival.

As a result, this time the autumn festival was completely dominated by civil officials, and the selected lifters were still all in the shape of Confucius......

Fortunately, Boss Zhu knew this and didn't let his protégé wade into this troubled water, otherwise it would be a total annihilation...... It's almost a certainty.

Although Song Lian, Dai Liang and other Confucian leaders were all cut clean by Boss Zhu through the Hu Weiyong case. But as long as the imperial court still respects Confucius for one day, Confucianism will not be extinguished, and there will still be countless disciples of Confucius and Mencius, who will stand up one after another to 'eliminate demons and defend the way'.

And Zhu Zhen and the Guozi University where he taught the 'side-door left-hand way' are the 'crooked and heretical ways' in the eyes of many Confucians, who are vainly trying to destroy our holy religion. How is it possible to let college students from Guozi University pass the examination?

Boss Zhu stipulates that graduates of Guozi University are equivalent to lifting people, and they can directly participate in the examination held by the Ministry of Rites. In this way, his protégés of the Son of Heaven were sent to Chunqiu.

But this is very remarkable, not only the officials, but also some high-ranking officials such as Shangshu Shilang have written to advise, accusing Boss Zhu of being too partial to college students and unfair to candidates from all over the world.

Although Boss Zhu has never been swayed by criticism, the biggest advantage of civil officials is perseverance, and what they are best at is the 'swarm of flies', like a swarm of flies buzzing around him all day long, annoying people to death.

Moreover, after Hu Weiyong's case, Boss Zhu has a much higher tolerance for civil officials, and he no longer easily shouts and kills. At the beginning, they were still afraid of Boss Zhu's obscenity, but people are like this, they don't remember to eat or fight, and after a long time, they began to kick their noses and faces again......

At this time, Zhu Zhen returned to Beijing, and Boss Zhu couldn't wait to throw the mess to the sixth child, and said vigorously: 'When people are old, they want to ......be quiet'

This is purely a matter of pushing the sixth child into the fire pit.

Originally, according to Boss Zhu's idea, the imperial examination or something was just for his own family to elect officials. The sixth child will come up with the question by himself, and he will be admitted by himself. At most, those civil officials continue to buzz with flies, anyway, the sixth child has long been used to it, and it should not be affected by anything.

He greatly underestimated the combat effectiveness of the civil officials, and those civil officials only dared to buzz with him, but against the sixth lord, who was already a vassal and had no brocade guards in his hands, they really dared to go up - so the swarm of flies tactics became the swarm of mosquito tactics, not only buzzing, but also biting you all over the head!

Since Boss Zhu announced that the sixth child would be fully responsible for the Spring Festival, the civil officials have been obsessed with it, and they have gone crazy to the collective, listing various reasons, and advising the emperor not to do this.

Boss Zhu didn't send it when he stayed in the middle of the meeting, so they said it at the court meeting, and not just said it once, and more than one person said it, but everyone said it together, and they said it when they had the opportunity, and all the major national affairs were put aside, and the big and small Jiuqing and the Kedao Yanguan said this one thing-

How can the sixth child be able to both ask questions and mark papers, and the imperial court's talent selection ceremony will not become the internal examination of his country's university? The provinces have traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to catch the exam, and they will definitely fail to pass the exam.

This will chill the hearts of the corporal of the world! There may be a few Zhang Yuan, and then there will be no regrets.

~~

The two sides were at a stalemate for two months.

In the past two months, of course, the civil officials will not keep talking, and they have thrown out all kinds of wet black materials, what old six are greedy for money and lustful, digging up graves, and kicking the widow's door; What Lao Liu is cruel and unkind, killing people like hemp in Jiangxi, Japan and Yunnan; What Lao Liu's plot is wrong, turning the city's fleet into his own private army, and turning Yunnan into an independent kingdom......

Most of them are spread falsely, rumors and smears, even if they are a little bit of an exaggeration, adding oil and vinegar, but everyone is making money and destroying bones, and no one can stand it every day.

At least the people who went to Beijing to take the exam were convinced of this. also followed the joint letter, saying that if the sixth child took care of the questions and grading, they would collectively abandon the exam, and they would never take any exams in Daming again.

Boss Zhu saw that the sixth child was really unable to resist, so he had to take a step back and let the civil officials be responsible for admitting them, and the sixth was only responsible for the questions. But the premise is that they can't hold on to the sixth child anymore, otherwise Boss Zhu will close the door and let the eighth child go......

The civil servants died down.

~~

As a result, the examination was originally scheduled to be held in mid-February, but now it is April, and the sixth child has just finished the question.

Of course, the exam questions are really not easy to come out, which is purely self-inflicted by the sixth child. At the beginning, he stipulated that the examination would be divided into seven sessions, economics, law, calculation, calculation, engineering, science, and Guangwen. That is to say, he has to produce seven exam questions, and each exam paper must have both a sufficient amount of questions and a suitable difficulty to play a role in selection.

In order to prevent leaks, he can't let others help, and he can't even contact anyone, and he has to do every question himself, which is really bloody.

When he was the biggest, he was a little envious of Lao Shi, and felt that His Royal Highness King Lu was the correct way to open the vassal king, instead of looking for trouble like himself, asking for hardships, and falling into a stupid way full of infamy.

The moment he handed over the exam questions to Boss Zhu, he let out a long breath of turbidity, and it was finally over. I don't want to worry about these birds in Kyori anymore......

But when he was about to go back to the house to hug Meng Xuan and relieve the boredom in his heart, he was stopped by Boss Zhu: "You can't leave the palace yet." ”

"What?"

"You have to wait until after the exam starts, and you, the person who made the question, can contact outsiders." Zhu Yuanzhang coughed and said, "If you want to have a child, let your daughter-in-law take Meng Xuan into the palace to accompany you." ”

"It's fine." Zhu Zhen nodded slowly, scolding in his heart what the is going on.

I can't stay in this capital for a day.
