When Jiang Xia woke up, there was only one oil lamp in the room. (Please search, or enter directly to see the latest chapter) He tilted his head, and the memory in his mind finally stayed when an arrow shot at Zhu Houzhao outside the prison.

Jiang Xia remembered that at that time, he called out, "Second child, be careful." Then he pulled him away, and ran over to receive the arrow.

"Hiss" Jiang Xia snorted lightly, he didn't feel pain at the time, but now the wound on his chest is really fucking painful.

Jiang Xia looked at the environment in the room, and it was obvious that this was the room he lived in in Xiaoyao Villa. It seemed that he was out of danger, and Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked down and realized that there were still two people sleeping on his left hand, two beautiful women, whose faces were seventy percent similar to each other, and they were the two sisters Cui Rushuang and Cui Niannu.

Cui Niannu leaned closer to Jiang Xia, and Jiang Xia reached over and touched Cui Niannu's face. These two women were the women he had met shortly after crossing over to the Ming Dynasty, and Jiang Xia didn't know how much he had feelings for them. It's just that they are beautiful and want to possess them, or they have feelings for them.

Jiang Xia, who has had too much romantic history, can't tell the difference clearly, but at this moment, seeing the two of them lying on the edge of his bed, sleeping so deeply and so familiarly, it is obvious that he has been guarding himself too tired, so he is like this.

Jiang Xia had a faint warmth in his heart, a modern person of later generations suddenly crossed over to the Ming Dynasty, if there was no loneliness in his heart, it was impossible. But this faint sense of warmth made the lonely feeling in Jiang Xia's heart be washed away a lot.

"Brother Jiang, you must not have anything to do" Cui Niannu closed her eyes and gently fell asleep, Jiang Xia rubbed her head for her with a tender face, and smiled slightly.

Maybe Jiang Xia's action was a bit big, and Cui Niannu was slightly frightened and looked like he was about to wake up.

In the backyard of Xiaoyao Villa, Li Dongyang and Zhu Houzhao sat next to a stone table together. Li Dongyang persuaded: "Your Majesty, you have been here for a day and a night, it is better to go back and rest early, after all, the dragon body is important, anyway, the doctor said that Jiang Xia is fine, once Jiang Xia wakes up, I will immediately send someone to the leopard room to inform you." ”

After listening to Li Dongyang's words, Zhu Houzhao shook his head, he sighed and said, "Big brother Jiangxia." Jiang Xia was injured because of me, and this time Jiang Xia would not have been injured if it hadn't been for my willfulness. Without Jiangxia, I'm afraid I would have died in Huangquan long ago. Jiang Xia treats me like this, how can I feel at ease if I don't see him wake up?"

Li Dongyang nodded and sighed: "Indeed, although Jiang Xia's words and deeds are out-of-the-box, it seems absurd and informal, but in fact he is an extremely emotional person, Jiang Xia and I have only known each other for two months, and he was able to risk his life to save me, which shows how affectionate and righteous Jiang Xia is." ”

After speaking, Li Dongyang looked up at Zhu Houzhao and said, "With all due respect, the emperor is indeed too offensive this time. If Liu Jin and Zhong Bin of the Jinyi Guard hadn't arrived in time at that time, I'm afraid that several of us would be in danger. ”

"yes. Zhu Houzhao also nodded in agreement.

He recalled the situation at that time, when Zhu Houzhao saw that Jiang Xia was in a coma with an arrow wound, he immediately took out a gold medal to show his identity, who knew that those jailers in the prison didn't believe it. But it's right to think about it, who would have thought that today's saints would be greedy enough to hide their identities and rob the prison?

Fortunately, Zhong Bin, who had always felt that something was wrong at this time, came with a team of brocade guards, and then the more he thought about it in the East Factory, the more wrong it became, and finally Liu Jin, who guessed that the emperor might come to rob the prison, also came with the people from the East Factory, so Zhu Houzhao and they were able to get out completely.

Thinking of these Zhu Houzhao both felt scared and excited, with his status as the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, I am afraid that such an experience will only come once in his life, and he will not come back for the second time.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Dongyang and smiled slightly: "Taifu, this time I am sorry for you." However, I have already asked Liu Jin to write an edict that all charges against you have been withdrawn. Now you are still my Taifu, the auxiliary minister of the Ming Cabinet. ”

After hearing this, Li Dongyang first got up and knelt down to Zhu Houzhao and saluted: "Weichen Xie Emperor Longen." ”

"Taifu, please get up quickly. Zhu Houzhao helped Li Dongyang up, and he said with a smile: "You are Jiangxia's master, that is, my relative, and there is only Jiangxia's second eldest Zhu Shou in this Xiaoyao Villa, and there is no Zhu Houzhao, so the Taifu doesn't need to give me this big gift." ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. Li Dongyang sat back on the stone pier.

He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, Wechen thank you for forgiving Wechen's crimes, but Wechen still has a reluctant request. ”

"Mrs. Fu, please speak. ”

Li Dongyang sighed and said: "Weichen is already old, and the officialdom is already tired of coping with Weichen, and Weichen is tired, so I still want to beg Shi to spend his old age in peace, and ask the emperor for permission." ”

"This" Zhu Houzhao pondered for a moment, he thought for a while and nodded: "This is okay, I will allow Taifu to no longer serve as the head of the household department and the cabinet assistant, but the title of Taifu must be held, and it cannot be changed in this life." ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. Li Dongyang did not kneel this time, but saluted Zhu Houzhao with a fist.

Zhu Houzhao asked Li Dongyang with a smile: "What are Taifu's plans next? Are you going to return to your hometown, or do you have other plans?"

"The old minister is going to stay in Beijing to teach Jiang Xia well, hoping that he can take the imperial examination as soon as possible and enter the imperial court to serve the emperor" Speaking of this, Li Dongyang happened to remember one thing, he got up and bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said: "By the way, the old minister still wants to ask the emperor for a favor here." ”

"Oh, what grace is it?" asked Zhu Houzhao.

Li Dongyang smiled and said: "The old minister wants Jiang Xia to enter the Guozi Prison as the shadow prisoner of the old minister, and I hope that the emperor will approve it." ”

"Enter the Guozijian?" Zhu Houzhao thought about it and hesitated slightly: "Taifu, the current Guozijian is not as good as it was back then." ”

"Lao Chen understands that at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Guozijian was the only way for scholars to be officials, and all the good people from all over the world gathered here. Nowadays, the composition of the Guozi Prison, the Shadow Prison, the Tribute Prison, the Lifting Prison, and the Routine Prison is complex, and it is indeed not comparable to that of the past. However, the emperor, there is still an advantage to entering the country. ”

"Oh, what's the benefit?" Zhu Houzhao asked puzzled.

Li Dongyang subconsciously wanted to brush his beard, but when he touched it, he remembered that his beard had been shaved by Jiang Xia with a big knife, and even his eyebrows

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but smile when he saw Li Dongyang's appearance, but after all, Li Dongyang was his teacher, and he wasn't too funny, so his face was red.

Li Dongyang also smiled, he shook his head and said: "There are three months to the triennial palace examination, as long as Jiang Xia enters the top 20 in the national examination, he can directly enter the palace examination, and he does not need to participate in the children's examination, the township examination, and the general examination." ”

After listening to Li Dongyang's words, Zhu Houzhao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded and said, "What Taifu said is reasonable. But as soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao said with some concern: "But Da Jiangxia, can he enter the top 20 of the Guozijian exam?

"It doesn't have to be like this, the emperor has forgotten that the national eunuch is no longer as good as it was back then. ”

Speaking of this, Li Dongyang and Zhu Houzhao laughed after glancing at each other.

Guozijian is the national school of the Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as the highest school of the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty mainly selected talents through three ways: imperial examination, recommendation, and selection, among which the status of the Guozijian was the highest.

However, with the exhibition of the imperial examination, more and more talents have come to the fore in the imperial examination, so the imperial examination has received more and more attention. Later, Jinshi could not only be appointed as an official after the list, but there was also a common rule in the imperial court, that is, "Non-Jinshi cannot enter Hanlin, and non-Hanlin cannot enter the cabinet." This common practice means that if the students of the Guozijian want to be an official, and if they want to be a big official, they must also go through the imperial examination, so that the advantage of the Guozijian is no longer there, and only the empty name of a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven remains.

After that, the identity of Guozijian became more and more complicated. There are shadow eunuchs, that is, the children of Beijing officials above the third rank or the emperor's favor to enter the prison. Li Dongyang is a first-class member, so he naturally has the qualification of a shadow supervisor, but Jiang Xia is not his direct descendant, so he asked Zhu Houzhao for a favor.

In addition, there are tribute supervisors, eunuchs, and regular eunuchs. "Gongjian" refers to the students who are selected by the local government school to be imprisoned. "Lifting the prison" is the first person to be raised in the Beijing Normal Association, and the Hanlin Academy selects the best ones and sends them to study in prison. "Regular supervisors" are those who are qualified to be prisoners by donating money and goods.

As a result, there is a mixture of fish and dragons in the Guozi Prison, and it has long been looked down upon by the students of the Jinshi Branch. They once ridiculed the country as a gathering place for the children of the eunuchs, full of copper stench and unscrupulous children.

However, although the composition of Guozijian is complicated, it is not something that anyone can enter if they want to, after all, it is the highest university in the Ming Dynasty, and being able to study in it is not only a strong connection, but also many privileges. Going straight to the temple test, this is one of the privileges. Even if you can't go straight to the palace exam, the top 100 in the country can also go straight to the entrance exam, and it is easy to get a tribute status, and it is definitely the first choice for the official eunuch to obtain a diploma gilded.

Now that Guozijian is not as good as before, the strength of the prisoners inside is naturally low, and it is precisely because of this that Li Dongyang is so confident that Jiang Xia can enter the top twenty inside.

Next, Zhu Houzhao discussed some state affairs with Li Dongyang, Li Dongyang is an old courtier after all, and many opinions made Zhu Houzhao suddenly open. Zhu Houzhao finally agreed with Li Dongyang that it was okay not to serve as an official in the court, but if there was a major national event, Zhu Houzhao would still summon him to the palace to discuss, and Li Dongyang naturally readily agreed.

When the two were chatting about the rise, Cui Niannu suddenly ran out and shouted: "Wake up, Brother Jiang is awake"

ps: Ahem, Guozijian has started recruiting students, and those who have ideas should go to the Daming Emperor Fan List to leave their names
