Chapter 184: The Quarrel Turned Upside Down
Hu Weiyong was recommended by Li Shanchang to serve as the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and was promoted to the secretary of Taichang Temple, and he has risen all the way to this day.
Zhu Biao was a little worried that Hu Weiyong would be blatantly despised by Liu Bowen and would lift the table and leave.
After all, Lao Zhu said that his decision should be submitted to Lao Zhu for approval only if Liu Bowen and Zhongshu Province have no objections.
If Hu Weiyong is angry, things will not be easy to handle.
Hu Weiyong's face remained unchanged, and he said gently: "What Lord Liu said is true." The minister also felt that the imperial examination should start as soon as possible, but it should not be blocked at once, otherwise many people would oppose it, and it would be more difficult to implement the imperial examination. Moreover, the person responsible for the examination and marking of the examination papers must not only elect honest and capable people, but also consider the balance of power of all parties. β
Zhu Biao was secretly surprised, and glanced at Hu Weiyong again.
I used to think that he was just Li Shanchang's follower, but now I feel that in fact, he still has some ability.
Li Shanchang has a lot of time with the mud, rarely gives useful advice, and all his words and deeds are headed by maintaining his position of power, and he doesn't care about others scolding him at all.
Liu Bowen is just the opposite, he is proud of his talents, even if he competes with the whole world, he can't tolerate others questioning his ability.
Hu Weiyong's gentle style is just between these two. can neutralize Liu Bowen's toughness, but he can also put forward his own opinions in a timely manner.
Well, it's someone who can try it......
Liu Bowen immediately waved his hand: "Needless to say, the emperor will consider it." I'll just put this on the line. β
Hu Weiyong didn't argue, but said: "Lord Liu is wise." β
Zhu Biao frowned secretly: Lao Zhu called me to supervise the country, naturally I have to be thoughtful. How can you still let your father balance.
It's just that he won't tell his teacher like this directly, but only say, "In this way, the main hall approved this and gave it to my father." β
Lao Zhu originally wanted to push the matter of the imperial examination back, but now Zhu Biao wants to do it, and it is the first excerpt approved by Zhu Biao, and he is not good at dampening Zhu Biao's enthusiasm, so he approves it: "Try it out at the beginning of next year, and then set a follow-up." The personnel who write the questions and mark the papers are determined by the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Chinese Books, the supervision of the imperial history, and the prince through consultation. Supervised by Zhu Bai, King of Xiang. β
Zhu Bai looked at Lao Zhu and approved this, and frowned: "Father." You call Erchen to associate with the imperial examination, isn't that to catch ducks on the shelves? Erchen can't even write Bagu Wen. β
He hates Zhu Xi's set the most, and he hasn't memorized all of Zhu Xi's books.
Isn't it a joke to ask him to review these articles written according to Zhu Xi's writings?
Lao Zhu: "We just need you to keep an eye on it for us." Your eldest brother is not as cunning as you, and we are worried that he will be deceived. β
Liu Bowen and Hu Weiyong, two old foxes, are so cunning that they have their own characteristics.
The honest Zhu Biao may not be able to cope with it.
Zhu Bai sighed and muttered: "Alas, when will you let me go." β
Old Zhu Cheng leaned at him: "Say you're smart, sometimes your brain really can't turn." Let's ask you, why do others sharpen their heads and want to preside over the imperial examination? β
Zhu Bai blinked and pretended to be stupid: "Why?" β
Lao Zhu sneered: "In order to install party henchmen." β
Zhu Bai: "Oh. Erchen doesn't need this. β
Of course I know that!
It's like someone I hired will be my protΓ©gΓ© in the future.
No matter how big an official this person becomes in the future, doesn't he have to treat me as a teacher?
There are many protΓ©gΓ©s, and I will have the final say in the future.
However, I don't plan to stay in the court all the time, what's the point of interfering with people.
Lao Zhu sighed: "When your eldest brother ascends to the throne, the court will be someone else's people." Then the household department said that the official tooth could no longer be occupied by the king of Xiang, and it should be taken back. Yushi said, and the minister seconded the proposal. Prime Minister Zuo of Zhongshu Province said that Guanyinzhuang should have been taken back a long time ago. There is no one to speak for you. Even if your eldest brother is unwilling, he can't bear the opposition of such a courtier, so he can only take everything in your hands to the court. β
Zhu Baihan's hair stood up, and he gasped: "Hey, what my father said is true." The sons will definitely try their best to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in handling the imperial examination. β
Hehe, boy, we can't hold any of your children?!
All you have in your eyes is money!
Lao Zhu was secretly amused and nodded: "Eh, that's right." There is a reward for paying. β
Therefore, the next day, Zhu Bai went to Zhongshu Province to sit.
Regarding the list of people who wrote the questions and graded the papers, Yanguan and Huaixi quarreled all over the world.
Zhu Bai yawned when he heard it.
Liu Bowen threw a handbook to him and told him to practice calligraphy first.
Fugui was busy grinding and getting a pen for Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai took the pen and greeted Liu Shenbao's female elders in his heart: "Writing, writing, I don't go to the flyover to set up a stall to sell couplets, what kind of words do I practice all day." β
Li Shanchang said: "Deng Zhen is a talented man with eight buckets, born in a famous family, and his father Deng Yu is the founder of the country, and he is the best candidate for the chief judge of the imperial examination." β
Doctor Yushi: "Hehe, Deng Zhen is your grandson-in-law." Do you want to be so thick-skinned? β
Li Shanchang: "Eh, you can't say that. The virtuous do not shy away from relatives. You might as well suggest a better one. β
Doctor Yushi: "I think Liu Ji and Lord Liu are the most suitable." β
Liu Bowen: "Lord Lu Ben is more suitable to be the examiner than Chen. He is willing to be the deputy examiner. β
Lu Ben does not take sides, but that does not mean that he is not biased.
Liu Bowen knew that he was at least biased towards Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao, who had been silent, asked Lu Ben: "What is Lord Lu's opinion?" β
Lu Ben, the secretary of the ministry, saluted leisurely: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be trusted, the ministers should go all out." β
Originally, the imperial examination was the selection of officials.
Isn't it natural for him to preside over the imperial examinations? He certainly won't shirk it.
Li Shanchang glanced at Hu Weiyong.
Hu Weiyong could only say: "It is recommended that there be two deputy examiners, and Lord Deng Zhen is one of them." β
Liu Bowen knew that it was impossible to completely exclude Huaixi: "Agreed. β
Everyone copied out the list, and then remembered to ask Zhu Bai to sign.
Because Lao Zhu said "King Xiang supervised".
Zhu Bai didn't sign the word "agree" on the list, and Lao Zhu wouldn't even look at it.
Everyone turned their heads to look for Zhu Bai, but saw Zhu Bai holding a pen and falling asleep on the table.
Zhu Biao couldn't cry or laugh, and woke him up in a soft voice: "Twelfth brother, get up and sign." β
Zhu Bai opened his eyes blankly, sat up, and printed a kitten he drew on the paper and a few ugly words on his face: "Ang?!" Are you done arguing? β
Everyone couldn't laugh or cry: everyone was so excited, but you slept peacefully.
Zhu Biao handed the list to Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai glanced at the list and frowned.
happened to have the pen in his hand, so he dipped the ink in his hand, added Zeng Bingzheng's name at the end, and his job was to inspect, and then Song Lian and Li Xiyan were added to assist in writing questions and grading.
Liu Bowen was secretly surprised: This kid is really not ordinary sleek and meticulous.
