Zhu Qiyu himself bragged about himself, but he was soon slapped in the face.

Looking at Wang Wen's recital, Zhu Qiyu's brows furrowed. The township test has been released, and the list has to be changed, isn't it embarrassing.

unsuccessful students, Wang Wen's son Wang Lun, Chen Xun's son Chen Ying; The chief examiner, the champion of orthodoxy for seven years, Hanlin waiter and Taichang Temple Shaoqing Liu Yan.

Don't change it, don't give face to the current and former first assistants; Changed it, it seems to be unfair.

Wang Wen's words were sincere, as if he had really been wronged.

Zhu Qiyu pondered for a long time, raised his head and looked, only to see Lin Xiangyu and Ning Xiang coming over with a smile holding their clothes and jade ornaments, and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"What is this for? I didn't say I was going out, are you trying to bomb me away? ”

Lin Xiangyu smiled: "Don't you want to talk to He Yi and Gao Yao?" Aren't you tired of doing it yourself behind closed doors here? ”

Zhu Qiyu patted his head: "It's also easy, it's easy to drive behind closed doors, but tired of vomiting blood behind closed doors." It's a pity that most of the people in my middle school have been sent to all parts of the country.

The close ministers who can really give advice to me are why it is better to toss back and forth with Gao Yao. ”

Lin Xiangyu reminded: "Husband, you still have a trio of landscapes." ”

Zhu Qiyu patted his head again: "Oh, yes, these brothers are inconspicuous, I almost forgot about them." As the top three Jinshi in Jingtai's second class for five years, it's not okay to be lazy like this, so I have to take them out to work for me. ”

So Zhu Qiyu dressed neatly, came to Qingyun Pavilion, drank tea and chatted with He Yi and Gao Yao, and waited for half an hour, but Cao Tai, Xu Guan, and Xie Xing were late.

This landscape trio was quite polite, and as soon as they came in, they confessed: "After the ministers finished telling the prince, they went to the white jade embankment of Kunming Lake for a walk, and let the saint wait for a long time, and the ministers waited for the capital crime." ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head helplessly, there is no way to treat them, Cao Tai is just a junior high school jinshi and is going home to be a teacher, Xu Guan is just a junior high school jinshi and is going home to get married, and Xie Xing is also an attitude that he can not be an official. The dignified son of heaven has to coax them.

After squirting them in his heart, Zhu Qiyu put on an amiable attitude and asked the three of them what they thought of Wang Lun's defeat in the Shuntianfu Township Test.

The three of them were all distracted, looking at him left and right, and they were bent on getting through the matter.

Zhu Qiyu was so angry that he slapped the table: "Don't go too far with the three of you, do you think that if you win the Jinshi, all kinds of privileges and preferential treatment will be in hand, and you can put it on the table?" It's a beautiful thought.

You eat the king's fortune and are disloyal to the minister, this is called deceiving the king. Believe it or not, I will get rid of your fame now, and let you go to Liaodong to open up wasteland.

Don't worry, if you are in the monarch's court, I won't put you in the lowly ranks, and your children and grandchildren will be eligible to participate in the imperial examination in the future. ”

Seeing that the emperor was really angry, the three people hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Zhu Qiyu asked: "Say, what do you think of the township test papers this time?" ”

No matter how tranquil a person is, he can't accept the inexplicable removal of his fame and send him to Liaodong to farm, so the three of them glanced at each other, and Cao Tai echoed:

"Holy Lord, we haven't seen Wang Lun and Chen Ying's exam papers, so we don't dare to jump to conclusions."

Zhu Qiyu glanced at Gao Yao, and Gao Yao handed over the two exam papers on the old case.

The three of them read it carefully, and Cao Tai continued to reply: "According to the minister's opinion, whether these two people's examination papers have the level of Jinshi is another matter, but it is not a problem to lift the middle one at all.

There are many worse people in the new imperial examination than them, and it is said that they should not be on the list.

Chen Ying's level may be a little far-fetched, but Wang Lun is obviously talented.

If we have to say why the examiners dethroned him, it is probably because they sang too much about the policies and merits of the saints. ”

Zhu Qiyu asked puzzledly, "What does this mean?" Is it also wrong to sing the praises of virtue? ”

Cao Tai cleared his throat and replied stubbornly: "Liu Yan, the chief examiner of the Shuntianfu Township Examination, is the champion of orthodoxy for seven years, and he was handpicked by the Son of Heaven and was deeply favored by the emperor.

Chen vaguely remembered that at that time, the traitors Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu were still there, who was the chief examiner of the orthodox seven-year examination and the palace examination, and who was Liu Yan's protégé, these are all worth considering.

In addition, Liu Yan is also a native of Ji'an, Jiangxi, and is a fellow villager with Yang Shiqi.

If you want to prove it, Shengshang can comprehensively check the test papers of other candidates who failed to make the list, and there should be a large number of people who have the same experience as Wang Lun, all of whom are of a very high level, but because they praise Shengshang too much, they were judged to be flattering and frivolous by the chief examiner Liu Yan. ”

Zhu Qiyu suddenly realized, it turns out that there is such a doorway, the remaining orthodox loyal ministers and Sanyang protégés will give me eye medicine at the first opportunity, and they hide it quite deeply.

Zhu Qiyu, who had been thinking about it, glared at the three of them fiercely, aren't you quite capable, you have to let me threaten you before you are willing to work.

"Okay, the three of you are responsible, re-evaluate the test papers of all the failed candidates, and pick out all the misjudged test papers for me."

The three did not dare to disobey, so they reluctantly accepted the order. While the emperor looked down at the other scripts, the three of them glared at He Yi viciously, and everyone knew in their hearts that it was impossible for He Yi not to see the doorway, if you don't say it yourself, you have to pull the three of us to be the big boss.

He Yi was there to laugh and laugh, pretending not to know.

The three of them reluctantly retreated and went to re-read the papers.

The rest are confidants, He Yi added: "Holy Lord, I'm afraid it won't be just this one thing, and the court will most likely set off a political tide against Wang Shoufu." ”

"So powerful? Do they want to change their heads? ”

He Yi shook his head: "After Wei and Xue became scholars, the control of the Holy Lord over the cabinet was further strengthened, and it is normal for some people to not look at it.

Once the cabinet and the six ministries are completely stabilized, in the eyes of the government and the opposition, it is likely that the next step will be to change the crown prince.

There is also the establishment of the Shenshu Battalion, which has a great impact on the civil and military officials. ”

Zhu Qiyu also covered his head when he heard this: "The army loyal to Xuanmiao and orthodoxy is gone, are they still unwilling?" ”

He Yi smiled: "They don't expect to be restored, but it's always good to be able to make a little stumbling." ”

"Forget it, let them be, wait for me to defeat Japan, let the national strength of the Ming Dynasty go to a higher level, and then liquidate them with the power of victory."

The plan was decided, and everyone dispersed.

At noon the next day, the atmosphere in the cabinet was already a little strange.

There are still nine cabinet scholars in Beijing, and Huang Pu is Jing Zhaoyin, who is so busy all day that his feet don't touch the ground, and he doesn't show up easily. He Yi spends most of his time in Ganquan Palace, and he usually doesn't see anyone.

Resident in the cabinet are Wang Wen, He Wenyuan, Luo Tong, Zhou Chen, Shen Yi, Wang Yining, and Xiao Di.

The accident that occurred in the Shuntianfu Township Test was originally not small, but the emperor personally ordered a retrial, which suddenly made the atmosphere of the government and the opposition extremely delicate.
