High school jinshi is just the beginning of a person's career.

It would be naïve to think that with the status of Jinshi, everything will be fine.

Being in the court, walking on thin ice, making mistakes, and making mistakes can make people irreversible.

Therefore, the support and guidance of elders, old people, fellow villagers, and teachers are particularly important.

Ten years of hard work, selling goods to the emperor's family, once the power is in hand, the order will be carried out.

Gao Yao is young, and when she explores flowers in high school, it is the time to be full of ambition.

Today, thanks to the emperor's personal reception, Gao Yao is even more eager to try, eager to show his talents, in order to invite the holy favor.

As a result, before the emperor saw it, He Yi first threw out such a piece of advice that defied common sense.

is also because He Yi is a fellow villager, old friend and teacher, if it were someone else, Gao Yao would have turned his face a long time ago.

Gao Yao was stunned for a moment, and then asked the question in his heart: "Brother Xingyi, Your Majesty received the three of us at the same time, the champion, the top eye, and Tanhua, if the younger brother does not perform well, how can he stand out and get His Majesty's favor?" ”

He Yi smiled and said: "Ting Jian, you are confused, Your Majesty appointed you as Tanhua, which in itself is favor." You've already been favored, so why bother pursuing it.

Besides, our Majesty's personality preferences are very different from those of the previous emperors. In the emperor's heart, the champion and the list are not necessarily stronger than Tanhua. Look at the previous champions Shang and Peng, who have now been sent to Nanjing from afar, where is there anything that has been reused by the emperor.

Let me be honest with you, the emperor has a very good impression of you, so you should focus on showing more demeanor and self-cultivation, as for the things that show off your talents and make a big show, just let the champion and the leader do it. ”

"The emperor has a very good impression of me?"

He Yi nodded affirmatively.

These are all facts that Gao Yao would not know under normal circumstances, and a few words of mention can make Gao Yao avoid countless detours.

Gao Yao quickly understood the deep meaning and hurriedly thanked him.

He Yi saw that Gao Yao could be taught with an open mind, and then gave the most critical point: "At noon, Your Majesty will personally give a banquet."

The banquet itself is nothing, but it is just to talk about Fengyue, Lala's homely routine, and talk about some customs. You don't have to be nervous, just relax.

But most importantly, His Majesty will bring three or four favorite concubines to the banquet together.

You must not despise these imperial concubines just because they don't have the name of the queen. His Majesty's treatment of women is that husband and wife are one and intimate.

What is Husband and Wife? In other words, these imperial concubines are also kings, and we are ministers, so you have to understand this relationship.

Let's put it this way, if you occasionally contradict Your Majesty for a few words because of military and political affairs, it won't be a big deal. But if you are disrespectful to the emperor's favorite concubine, you can wait. ”

Gao Yao nodded again and again, sincerely agreeing with He Yi's words. Although Gao Yao is not a person who likes flattery, he is still willing to talk about the most basic human feelings.

Especially when it comes to the righteousness of monarchs, ministers, and ministers, Gao Yao eats this set: since he is a flower hand-picked by the emperor, such as a protégé of the Son of Heaven, he naturally has to do his best to repay the grace of the saint.

He Yi instructed many more details, and then the two of them went out of the garden, along the winding path paved with white marble, bypassing the clear and transparent mirror lake, watching flowers and enjoying the scenery all the way, and came to Lord Qingyun on the top of the mountain.

Huang Pu, Wang Yue, and Yu Zijun had been chatting for a long time in the stone pavilion outside Qingyun Pavilion, and Huang Pu also told the newcomers a lot of precautions.

Wang Yue and Yu Zijun are nothing, but Huang Pu himself is more and more moved the more he talks: he is the second-class jinshi of the last session, and it has only been three years, and he is qualified to promote the champion and list of the new department, which is really a great grace of the emperor.

Seeing He Yi and Gao Yao coming, Huang Pu interrupted the conversation and entered Qingyun Pavilion with everyone.

Gao Yao walked behind, taking the time to look around: Wanshou Mountain, Yuquan Mountain, and the rippling blue waves of Kunming Lake, forming a huge and beautiful landscape painting. The palace pavilion built of white marble is dotted between the green mountains and clear waters, like the fairy palace jade que, beautiful.

After seeing the Forbidden City, and then looking at this Qi Palace, Gao Yao somewhat understood why the emperor had to live in the western suburbs.

Zhu Qiyu had been watching the lake and mountains in the attic for most of the hour, and now when he heard everyone going upstairs, he was busy reining in his lazy atmosphere and sitting down.

After everyone knelt and bowed, Zhu Qiyu ordered him to get up and give him a seat.

The first time the monarch and the minister summoned the right, the new branch jinshi were very nervous, but fortunately, Huang Pu and He Yi mentioned it, and there was no mistake in etiquette.

Zhu Qiyu took a closer look at his top three protégés. Wang Yue is twenty-six years old, Yu Zijun is twenty-three years old, and Gao Yao is twenty-four years old.

He is only twenty-four, the same age as Gao Yao, and according to the birth month, he may not be as old as him. It is also quite embarrassing to be a father and a teacher to these people in front of you.

Since it is called, there must be a test. As predicted by He Yi, the focus of Zhu Qiyu's examination was on Wang Yue and Yu Zijun.

Why did Zhu Qiyu appoint Yu Zijun as an example, in addition to being because Yu Zijun is young and talented and knowledgeable, the most important thing is that Yu Zijun is a staunch city builder, which is especially obvious in his answer sheet.

It is precisely that Zhu Qiyu really needs someone to build the four major defense lines in the north for him.

Now it is different from the end of the Ming Dynasty, and many of the important ministers in the late Ming Dynasty are obsessed with building defense lines. For example, Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong and a large number of important ministers, some want to repair Shanhaiguan, some want to repair Ningyuan, and some want to repair Jinzhou Guangning.

Now it's different, if you let the ministers build border walls and walls for decades, people really can't be happy.

Therefore, Yu Zijun belongs to the current scarce talents.

I only heard Zhu Qiyu ask Yu Zijun with a smile on his face: "Shiying, you are from Sichuan, right?" How has Sichuan been in the past two years, and has the people's livelihood improved? What is Han Yong's political reputation in Sichuan, and can he make achievements? ”

This question made Yu Zijun's heart beat a drum, and the emperor was really good at chatting, so he let himself evaluate the governor of Sichuan as soon as he came up.

Yu Zijun looked at Huang Pu, Huang Pu nodded secretly, signaling Yu Zijun to answer with confidence.

Yu Zijun had no choice but to reply stubbornly: "Your Majesty, since the first year of Jingtai, the people of Sichuan have been blessed by Your Majesty, and the imperial court's comprador apportionment to Sichuan has all stopped. This year, all tax and forced labor has been stopped.

Han Gong, the governor of Sichuan, and Li Gong, the governor of Sichuan, were sympathetic to the people, and tried their best to reduce the burden of the people and recuperate with the people in line with the principle of reducing what can be reduced and never disturbing the people.

Now the people of Sichuan all praise His Majesty's holy virtues, according to the humble opinion of Weichen, if there are no natural disasters, there will be another five or six years, and the people's strength can be recovered. ”

Zhu Sheyu nodded, and then continued to ask: "I have ordered Yu Qian, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, to serve as the governor of Huguang, Henan, and Sichuan provinces, responsible for completely quelling the Miao Rebellion.

It has been almost a hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court has been unable to extinguish these Miao people, and they have been caressing and soothing. What are the best ways to cure the root cause? ”
