August 23rd.

When the topic of the policy was announced, the students were scolding their mothers in their hearts, and the examiners were also scolding their mothers in their hearts.

These three questions are so tricky and weird, absurd, how can people answer.

The Battle of Luchuan, that is something that ordinary students can comment on?

Is it right to say that the Battle of Luchuan was made? This great war, which lasted for ten years, forced the entire south to rebel.

Is it wrong to say that the Battle of Luchuan is wrong? Isn't that a blatant denial of the Emperor?

The change of the civil fort is even more difficult to comment on.

As for the causes and consequences of the Tumubao Change, the Emperor himself may not be able to explain it clearly, and now let the candidates answer this question, isn't it purely embarrassing.

The first two questions are still within a reasonable range.

The third question is a bit too vicious.

What is how to prosper the Ming Dynasty and create a prosperous world?

What is ZTE? There will be ZTE only when there is decline.

What is Re-Creation? There is a loss before there is a re-creation.

As long as the candidate answers this question positively, it is equivalent to admitting that the Ming Dynasty is now in a world of decay and depression, and it is in urgent need of Zhongxing and re-creation.

There is also an urgent need for a wise Lord who can turn the tide.

Who is this wise lord?

The answer is self-explanatory.

Although it is self-explanatory, Zhu Qiyu forced the candidates to say it in person and write it down by hand.

This is Zhu Qiyu's first lesson to the candidates who are about to become lifters: if you want to enter the court, the first thing is to stand in line.

If you don't accept the name, don't want to become a close confidant of the emperor and the descendant of the Son of Heaven.

The situation is stronger than people, and the arms can't twist the thighs. Candidates are not stupid, they know that if they don't answer or answer blindly, they will definitely be dethroned, even if you write the eight strands in front of you well, it is useless.

With the great feats of hitting hard and turning the tide, no one can challenge the authority of Emperor Jingtai.

The candidates worked hard in the Gongyuan, and the topic of the strategy soon spread all over the government and the opposition.

Whether it is a person who is pro-emperor or a person who is pro-emperor, there is a lot of discussion.

Nowadays, the topic of the Emperor Taishang is the most popular among the people. After tea and dinner, the people in the capital always get together in twos and threes to argue with each other.

August 24th.

There are still two days left in the township test.

Zhu Qiyu has recently changed his way of discussing politics.

In the past, the cabinet bachelors and the six books were called together to discuss together.

Most of the time now, Zhu Qiyu named a few people to come to discuss politics.

For example, today, Zhu Qiyu called Wang Wen, Zhou Chen, He Wenyuan, Huang Pu, and Lian Gang, a total of five people.

plus He Yi, Yue Zheng, Xu Zheng, and Huang Jian, who have been staying in the New Qi Palace.

There were a total of ten monarchs and ministers, and a small court meeting was held.

What goes against common sense is that this time it was Lian Gang who spoke first, and he talked endlessly for most of the hour.

From the rumors in the streets, to the discussions on the streets and alleys, from the conversations after tea and dinner, to the public opinion of the government office.

In short, it is all-encompassing, and the recent movements of the capital are clearly explained.

Zhu Qiyu listened very carefully, and after some digestion, Zhu Qiyu summed up a few points:

First, the vast majority of people are extremely eager for the Emperor Taishang to return to Beijing as soon as possible. There is a consensus on this point, and the momentum is unstoppable.

It's not because the vast majority of people are loyal to Zhu Qizhen, but because he is a former great tomorrow, always herding sheep outside the plug, which is really very undignified.

This hurt not only the royal dignity, but all the people of the Ming Dynasty also felt that their faces were gloomy.

This point deviated somewhat from Zhu Qiyu's plan. Originally, it was planned to let the Emperor Taishang come back after three years in Jingtai, but now it seems that it is a little too unrealistic.

In the case that the strength of the Ming Dynasty occupies an absolute advantage, if the emperor does not return to the emperor for a long time, everyone will think that the emperor is deliberately manipulating.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu also gave up the original plan and chose to let Wang Ji play freely and do his own thing.

No matter what the result is, Zhu Qiyu intends to choose to accept it silently.

Second, the attitude of the people in the capital has been loosened. From a year ago, most of them were devoted to the emperor, and now, about one or two percent of the people have begun to support the emperor.

There are still two or three percent of the people who have begun to waver.

In addition to Zhu Qiyu's exploits in defending the Beijing Division, various good policies are also emerging.

For example, the people of Beijing are exempted from paying taxes and forced labor for one year, and they are exempt from repairing the imperial tomb.

For example, the abolition of the Daming treasure banknotes that robbed the people's money, and the issuance of Jingtai Tongbao with excellent color and texture.

For example, the construction of the outer city of Beijing to improve the living conditions of the people in the capital.

For example, as long as he participated in the construction of the outer city, the emperor would distribute Jingtai Tongbao generously. Regardless of the elderly, weak, women and children, as long as they go to work, they have a share.

Another example is the reduction of the Beijing army and the reduction of the burden of Cao Yun.

After the implementation of a series of good governance, the people's lives have become more and more nourishing and hopeful.

To sum up, people will change their minds.

Third, the coexistence of the two emperors after the emperor returned to Beijing. The people still prefer to treat the Emperor well in life and etiquette, but in political affairs, the Emperor should not interfere too much.

Even among the people, no one has proposed any plan for the abdication of the Son of Heaven and the restoration of the emperor.

The common people are not stupid, they all know that once the son abdicates today, his whole family will not live long.

In particular, the death of the King of Servants' family is a lesson from the past. If the Son of Heaven abdicates, it would be right to refer to Zhu Jianji, the king of servants.

With the blessing of Queen Hu's identity as the heir, Zhu Qiyu also got a lot of sympathy points. The people of the capital don't want to see Empress Hu extinct again.

Although the emperor's succession came too abruptly, the government and the opposition couldn't adapt for a while. But you don't recognize the emperor as Xuanzong's concubine for the time being, you can. If you don't recognize the emperor as the heir of Empress Hu, it makes no sense at all.

In short, Zhu Qiyu, the seemingly absurd Emperor Jingtai, has initially won the hearts of the people.

Zhu Qiyu himself is not paying too much attention to the dispute between his concubines and concubines now. In the next plan, Zhu Qiyu decided to use the trump card that he had covered for a long time to carry out the last round of bone sucking and squeezing Shanxi.

Then it was to attack Liaodong, kill the Liao domain, clean up the Jiannu, and control the mountain trade in the northeast. In this way, Nuer Gandusi can be self-sufficient and rooted in the Northeast for a long time and stably.

In addition, there was also the reorganization of Shandong's reserve army to clean up the floods of the Yellow River. To the west, the inner and outer Hetao and the Hexi Corridor are operated.

At the same time, it was necessary to urge the reorganization of Nanjing Jingying, and try to recover Jiaozhi five years later.

Oops, the more I think about it, the more headache I get.

It's really tiring to want to be an emperor with both civil and martial arts.

Although Zhu Qiyu seems to have been playing, his heart is really not less at all.

I don't know if others understand Zhu Qiyu, anyway, Zhou Chen, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is more and more appreciative of the emperor.

Zhou Chen's recognition of the emperor is almost catching up with Wang Wen.

Because of the previous Ministry of Works, in order to get a salary, I had to beg my grandfather and grandmother everywhere.

Now it is completely different, the Ministry of Industry just mints money, which can be called a daily gold.

And the biggest financier of the Baoyuan Bureau of the Ministry of Industry is the Jingtai Emperor in front of him.

In the past, the emperors used everything they lacked and asked for it directly from the imperial court, and they took it from the imperial court.

But Zhu Qiyu is different, this absurd emperor took real gold and exchanged it for Jingtai Tongbao minted by the Ministry of Industry.

Moreover, after the repair of the three palaces in the entire western suburbs, Zhu Qiyu took out a full 200,000 taels of gold to exchange for Jingtai Tongbao, and then paid everyone involved in the construction.
