On the fourth day of June, the weather is clear and the wind is smooth.

The new champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua came to Ganquan Palace early to wait for the emperor to receive them.

champion Yin Zhi, 24 years old; Bangyan Geng Yu is twenty-five years old; Tanhua Zhang Ning is twenty-nine years old.

Jingtai Dynasty is full of vigor and ambition for these new protégés of the Son of Heaven.

He Yi and Gao Yao accompanied the three of them to drink tea in the Guanxin Pavilion while waiting for the emperor to arrive.

Yin Zhi, Geng Yu, and Zhang Ning were all very nervous, they didn't expect that they would carp jump over the dragon gate, and if they jumped so high, they would directly become close ministers of the Son of Heaven.

Like the previous two sessions, at this time, it is time for He Yi to show up and speak.

Among the three, Shu Yin Zhi valued fame the most, and was the first to ask He Yi: "Brother Xingyi, what should you pay attention to when you meet, and please give me a lesson or two." ”

He Yi smiled and waved his hand: "Don't dare to give teaching, the saint will just chat with you casually for a while, and will not talk about anything too serious, you don't have to be nervous."

You are all biological protégés of the Son of Heaven, unlike me who was raised by my stepmother, and the saints all treat you as treasures.

There is only one, and I tell you secretly, don't tell outsiders. ”

When the three of them heard this, they hurriedly said that they would listen to each other.

He Yi continued: "Originally, the ranking set by the cabinet in conjunction with the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites, Bangyan and Tanhualang were both more than a dozen second-class students, and the champion was more than ninety second-class ones.

In the end, it was the saint who personally read the papers and redefined the rankings, so that the three of you were promoted to champions, top eyes, and tanhua.

Therefore, you must know in your hearts who your master is, and you must not enter the wrong temple and worship the wrong Bodhisattva. ”

Hearing He Yi say it in person, the three of them confirmed that the rumors were true, and it took so long to release the list, and sure enough, the emperor adjusted the ranking.

Everyone chatted for a long time, and the emperor was late.

The three new science and technology scholars hurriedly saluted, and Zhu Qiyu personally stepped forward to help him up, and said with a gentle smile: "The three Aiqing don't need to be polite, today is a family banquet, don't be restrained." ”

Zhu Qiyu led everyone to Qingyun Pavilion and sat down in turn.

On the third floor, the scenery is better, looking through the window, the lake and mountains, and the lotus leaves are in the sky.

Zhu Qiyu rarely did not lean on the couch, but sat upright while drinking tea and chatting with everyone.

Chatting and chatting, it was natural to talk about North Korea and Japan, Zhu Qiyu asked: "The widow is going to destroy North Korea and Japan, what do you think?" ”

The three of them glanced at each other, how can they look at it, a while ago, the Ming army had just fought a big defeat, and the 30,000 Liaodong troops had surrendered to North Korea.

In addition, the morale of the 30,000 Beijing troops was also a little low, and they had fought for so long without results.

There are rumors in the market that there are all kinds of ugly things, and even Emperor Yang of Sui's three expeditions to Goguryeo have come out.

Seeing that the other two were very humble, Yin Zhi could only stubbornly and truthfully replied: "Holy Lord, please forgive the ministers for being stupid, the population of North Korea is more than 5 million, and the population of Japan is at least 8 million, and there is still a lot of potential for growth.

If Korea and Japan can be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it will naturally be able to greatly enhance the national strength, and the people in the interior of the Ming Dynasty can also reduce a lot of burden.

It's just that Korea has at least 100,000 capable soldiers, and Japan has the ability to raise 200,000 troops.

Wechen couldn't figure out how to defeat Korea and Japan without breaking his bones. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "It's not your fault, you couldn't get in touch with state secrets before, and you had too little information." Do you want to go to Hallymin Temple or Rokubu first? ”

Yin Zhi replied with courage: "Weichen is brave and wants to serve the king." ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded approvingly: "Yes, then you can be the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and you will also be a member of the middle school, and stay in Ganquan Palace to assist in the military and political affairs." ”

It is good for a new science and technology practitioner to be self-motivated.

Zhu Qiyu asked the other two again, and with Yin Zhi's drive, Geng Yu and Zhang Ning were not far behind, and they all asked to be close ministers.

As a result, the two of them also got the ministry of the editor of the Hanlin Academy and the scholar of the middle school.

This is also a safe promotion path for Jingtai Chao's new generation: taking a temporary position in the Hanlin Academy, you can boil your qualifications. At the same time, he concurrently served as a scholar and assistant military minister in Ganquan Palace, thus becoming a close minister of the Son of Heaven.

The short is one or two years, the long is three or five years, and then they are sent out to work in local politics.

Zhu Qiyu thought that the matter was over, and was ready to start chatting about some landscapes, and then wait for the concubines to finish the meal, and then start giving a banquet.

Tanhualang Zhang Ning stood up: "Weichen is brave and wants to serve in front of the army to repay the emperor's kindness." ”

Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a moment, this Tanhualang was quite good at thinking, he first occupied the people of the Hanlin Academy and the Middle School Academy, and then went to the army to show his face.

It's just a new science and technology sergeant, and his qualifications are definitely not enough to counsel military affairs, how can this be arranged?

couldn't solve the problem, so he kicked the ball out, and Zhu Qiyu turned his head to look at He Yi. He Yi replied: "We lack a plenipotentiary envoy to communicate between the imperial court and Korea and Japan. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Yes, after beating with my head covered for so long, we have never communicated." In the future, you will take Tanhualang to take full responsibility for these things. ”

In fact, this was an extremely difficult task, but Zhang Ning gladly accepted the order.

Zhang Ning is conceited and talented, and he is also eager to make meritorious contributions. Among the courtiers present, he was the oldest. He Yi, who has become a university scholar, is one year younger than himself, which is really angry.

Zhang Ning felt that He Yi had caught up with the Jingshi first, and was the first to follow the dragon, so he rose so fast.

From the dragon's merit, there is no store in the village, which can be met but not sought, but military merit can still be pursued. In front of us, the imperial court's conquest of Korea and Japan is a great opportunity.

So the monarchs and ministers worked together to discuss how to clean up North Korea.

At the same time, North Korea has become a mess.

Following the martyrdom, a second coup d'état broke out in North Korea.

Anpyeong Maharaja in Jeolla Province and Geumseong Maharaja in Gyeongsang Province raised troops and raised the banner of the Cheongjun.

In Seoul, six ministers, Cheng Sam-wen, Yu Ying-fu, Park Peng-nian, Ha Wei-di, Liu Chengyuan, and Li Kai, conspired to support King Li Hongwei to regain power.

Unfortunately, the matter was revealed, and the Lord of Shouyang went on a killing spree in Seoul, and Sung Sam-wen and Yoo Seong-won escaped from Seoul and went to Gyeongsang-do to defect to the King of Geumseong.

The rest of the ministers who participated in the conspiracy were killed, and blood flowed in Seoul.

The mentality of the prince of Shouyang has collapsed, and he doesn't want to pretend anymore: Gyeongsang-do and Jeolla Province, the southernmost provinces of North Korea, have the Daejo of Geumseong and the Daewang of Anpyeong.

Li Chengyu, the northernmost part of Hamgyong Province, colluded with the Jurchens and established himself as emperor.

In the northwest of Ping'an Road, there are still Ming troops pressing forward step by step.

In Seoul, there are still many loyal ministers waiting to help the king regain power.

There are enemies everywhere, and this is completely leaving no way for people to live.

Shouyang Dajun broke the jar and broke it, and he had no scruples, and in his own house, he scolded Zhu Qiyu, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, what was ugly and scolded.

Originally, the coup d'état had been successful, everything was under control, as long as the unconvinced people were slowly broken one by one.

But as soon as the Great Tomorrow sent troops, everyone's resistance broke out in advance.
