Cao Tai shook his head very firmly: "Today's saints are broad-minded and will not be more serious with me. Besides, the saint himself is about to become a hermit in the mountains of the fairy wind bone, why doesn't he let me return to the mountains and forests. ”

Xie Xing said with a smile: "Don't say it, the saint can really be called a hermit in the mountains, and he was able to admire the holy face from afar during the palace test, isn't it just the immortal wind and bones, and the independence of the world."

I think the saint is about to realize what Tang Taizong said about hanging the arch and ruling the world. ”

Cao Tai nodded: "I can't say that today is indeed the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch, sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty will flourish and create a prosperous world again."

But anyway, I'm already a junior sergeant, and I'm going home to enjoy a peaceful and prosperous life. ”

Xu Guan and Xie Xing persuaded him, and when they saw that Cao Tai had indeed made up his mind, they didn't say anything more. The two didn't care much about the official position and celebrity, so they got together to comment on current affairs, hide or not, and talk about some landscapes and idyllic pleasures, and dispersed in the evening.

The next day, on the second day of the sixth month, the Ministry of Rites released the list outside the Daming Gate.

Candidates, dignitaries, and the common people gathered to watch.

Champion: Neither the originally selected Qiu Jun, nor the cabinet and the Ministry of Ministers changed to Sun Xian after they were selected by their appearance.

Unexpectedly, the champion is a native of Taihe, Jiangxi, and Yin Zhi, a twenty-four-year-old young talent.

This is really no one can guess, in recent years, the emperor has suppressed Jiangxi officials very harshly, the former former cabinet chief assistant Yang Shiqi was frustrated, and the first chief assistant of Jingtai Dynasty Chen Xun was forcibly forced to retreat.

It's just that this Jinshi Emperor handpicked a Jiangxi person as the champion, if anyone can guess in advance, it is really Zhuge Liang's possession.

Bangyan: It is also unexpected, Geng Yu, the son of Geng Jiuchou, the left servant of the household department, the emperor really does not shy away from suspicion.

Tanhua: Zhang Ning. This is the most normal, Zhang Ning was originally ranked sixteenth in the second class by the officials, but the emperor promoted him to the position of Tanhua.

This can make the other Jinshi envious.

According to the unwritten rules, the examiner usually has an auspicious number, and in most cases this number is the rank of the examiner when he is a jinshi.

For example, the examiner himself once ranked eighth in the second grade, so when he marks the paper, he often puts the most admired candidates in the eighth place in the second grade.

And when today's son has already figured out his preferences: this saint values the third place in the first class the most, that is, Tanhualang. The first two Tanhua Gao Yao and Wang Yan of the Jingtai Dynasty were highly valued by the emperor and stayed by his side to cultivate them personally.

In the previous session, Tanhua Lang Yuezheng has become the governor of Shandong and the ruling party.

Zhang Ning was hit by Tanhua, which means that he will be cultivated by the emperor himself, and Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner.

The top three in the second class are also relatively unpopular: Cao Tai, Xu Guan, and Xie Sheng.

Cao Tai, Xu Guan, Xie Xing and other groups of people were almost dispersed easily, and it was too late.

When they got to the front of the list, the three of them were completely dumbfounded: the three of them made an appointment before the exam, and they talked about indifference and self-cultivation in the palace test strategy, which was very different from the aggressive and pioneering theories of other candidates.

The three of them thought that the palace exam would only rank second, and the candidates would not be eliminated at all, so it was a big deal to rank last in the top three, anyway, the top three were also jinshi.

As for the top three who can't enter the Hanlin Academy, it doesn't matter, just be a county magistrate.

Now it's okay, Cao Tai ranks first in the second class, and he is second only to the champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua.

Chuanyun's refusal to go out, and the refusal of the top three to go out is not a perception at all. It's absolutely impossible to go home quietly.

Chuanyun refused to go out, so he waited to be attacked by the government and the opposition.

After a night of suffering, Cao Tai still had the courage to go to the recital and asked to return to his hometown to teach.

Cao Tai didn't dare to leave quietly, nor did he dare to mention that he was in seclusion, so he had to use the saying of returning to his hometown to teach and educate people.

Early in the morning of June 3, Zhu Qiyu got up, looked at a large number of notebooks and secret reports on the desk, and sighed faintly.

said that he didn't go to court, but in fact, there are a lot of things every day.

But thinking about the Daojun Emperor who stayed up all night to approve the book, Zhu Qiyu's heart was a little more balanced, he was not as diligent as Jiajing, and he was somewhat stronger than the Sixth Emperor Wanli.

Wanli is not a suburb, not a temple, not a court, not seen, not approved, not spoken.

I'm just not a suburb, not a temple, not a court, half of it.

The book is still approved, but I have to let the concubine chew it for me first.

Zhu Qiyu leaned on the soft couch, waiting for the two little concubines to pick out the important ones for themselves. Those long-winded and nonsense endlessly, I won't look at them.

Qian Xue took the lead in picking out a notebook and read it with a smile: "Xu Youzhen will play it, and in mid-June, Yang Xinmin, the governor of Guangdong, will lead an army of 70,000 to attack the city of Zhancheng. ”

Zhu Qiyu felt a little confused: "Xu Youzhen chose to attack in the summer, isn't it hot?" Isn't there a lot of rain? ”

"Xu Youzhen said, the main force of the army is the Yao people of Guangxi, and people don't care about what you say. It is better to rain more, and both sides should not use firearms, just take knives and slash each other.

The Yao people are brave and brave, known as wolf soldiers, once the cold weapons cut each other, they will occupy the combat power of the city army, and collapse faster. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "If you say so, it's true." It's just that this governor of Annam has been empty, and he doesn't know who to send.

I always let the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi work in Annam, and the level is a little awkward. ”

Qianxue smiled: "Xu Youzhen understands you thoroughly, so he knows that you will say this, so he vaguely mentioned that he cooperated with Yang Xinmin and Zhen Wan very tacitly.

It means that the current governors get along very harmoniously, if you take the liberty of sending a governor of Annan again, in case you can't get along with Xu Youzhen, you will hinder each other and delay state affairs. ”

"Okay, let him go. As long as the Annan people don't rebel, I don't want to care so much. ”

Su Xi also picked out a notebook and read: "Cao Tai, the first Jinshi in the second class of the new department, wrote a book, expressing his reluctance to go out and asking to return to his hometown to teach. ”

Zhu Qiyu sat up when he heard this, and personally took the notebook and read it carefully. Aggressive and weird, there are really people who don't want to be officials, and I have seen it today.

Lin Xiangyu, Ning Xiang, and Qianxue also came over to see this rare new thing in a hundred years.

Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a long time, and then ordered: "The day after tomorrow, call the top three of the first class, and I will personally give the banquet; The day after tomorrow, a banquet will be given to the top three of the second class.

The latter feasted fifty people every day. This is my protégé of the Son of Heaven, and everyone has to take care of it.

Those of you who are teachers and mothers, also care more about them, and see who is in trouble, and help them. ”

Next, Zhu Qiyu dealt with the military and political affairs for two whole hours, fortunately, men and women were matched, they were not tired of work, and between talking and laughing, it was soon time for lunch.

At the same time, North Korea, Xuanju.

Just when the 20,000 elites of the Ming Dynasty could not attack Xuanzhou City for a long time, the Korean naval division withdrew, and the elite heavy infantry in the city also withdrew 20,000.

Suddenly, the situation reversed and became 20,000 against 10,000.

The Ming army did not know why, and suspected fraud, but stopped the attack, and urgently reported to the Jingshi for 600 li, asking the emperor to give instructions.
