"Hiss~" Tang Bohu looked at the huge restaurant and couldn't help but gasp, "Brother Zhifu is so generous." ”

Although the restaurant is not in the bustling neighborhood, it is really not small, and it must cost a lot to charter it in the current market.

Xu Jing smiled and lowered his voice and said, "Brother Bohu try not to reveal his identity, otherwise, the younger brother is afraid that the price will be increased by three times, and the owner of the restaurant will not let me charter the venue." ”

"Huh...... That's nature. While Tang Bohu was funny, he still couldn't help but be shocked, "It's a waste for my brother to be like this." ”

Xu Jing didn't care, and said with a light smile: "Money, isn't it just for spending?" If everyone is holding on to the silver and not spending, then the silver will lose its value, rather than saving money, it is better to think more about how to make money, Li Taibai has a poem: The daughter is scattered and comes back! ”

"Courageous." Tang Bohu couldn't help but praise and said, "Brother Zhifu's family is doing maritime business? ”

"It's true that there is some trade at sea." Xu Jing nodded with a smile, "Brother Bohu, please." ”

"Please."

…

Every time there is a pressure question, it has been the same since ancient times.

Previous candidates will work this, the two of them are candidates, no exception, the Ming Dynasty pursued the eight-strand text, which is very restrictive to the talent, if the test questions are right, even if it is the right direction, it will also be twice the result with half the effort in the exam.

Although the probability is not large, the students are happy to do it.

Xu Jing's family is well-off, and with the blessing of huge financial resources, he has obtained several exam questions through channels.

He was quite bold, took out all his brains, and let Tang Bohu serve as a staff officer.

Tang Bohu is naturally like a treasure, and he has a good impression of Xu Jing, and he is also painstakingly studying and analyzing at the moment......

With the same background and fellow villagers, Tang Bohu is chic and uninhibited, Xu Jing has a bold temperament, the two have similar interests, are like-minded, read books, and forget to sleep and eat......

Spring flowers are blooming, and there is the blessing of spring, Shuntianfu is particularly lively, and the economy of talented people is becoming more and more prosperous.

However, paper can't contain the fire after all, Tang Bohu's 'hiding place' was still exposed in the end, and for a while, there were countless people who came to make friends.

As the saying goes: where there are people, there are rivers and lakes!

Among the people who came to visit, many of them admired Tang Bohu's talent, but some of them were flattering on the surface, but they were jealous in their hearts.

The culture of contempt for literati has been around for a long time, and not all scholars are as humble and gentlemanly as Wang Hua, on the contrary, Wang Hua is a very small minority.

The number of Jinshi is limited, everyone is a competitor, and they are polite on the scene, secretly wishing that the other party is playing abnormally.

Tang Bohu was deeply tired.

Xu Jing is not tired of this, he has a lot of family resources, loves to make friends, and has a generous hand, plus he is not as famous as Tang Bohu, so he is not a big threat, but he has made a lot of friends.

It's just that his so-called friend only takes a fancy to his wealth.

Eat and drink for nothing, live for nothing, who doesn't give a smile?

…

When the talent will eventually run out, gradually, the candidates who come to visit and make friends will also be scarce, but the main reason is that Xu Jing has spent too much money and is already shy in his pocket.

At this time, Tang Bohu finally calmed down.

He resumed the rhythm of studying hard every day, and he was getting closer and closer to the exam, and he couldn't help but be a little nervous, and he didn't dare to slack off.

Not only Tang Bohu, but all students are like this.

Even the imperial court, even the emperor Zhu Youzhu attaches great importance to it.

Every time he takes the imperial examination, he is particularly cautious, after all, this is to select talents for the country, and there is no room for the slightest sloppiness.

In the court, there was another quarrel.

But this time it's not six ministries to the cabinet, it's just six ministries...... To be precise, it was the Ministry of Rites that was horizontally in its own nest.

- Compete to be the examiner!

That's a big fat gap!

Not because of money, but because of power.

There is an unwritten rule in officialdom that whoever serves as the chief examiner is the nominal teacher of the current students.

Although there is no teacher-student relationship between the two sides, this kind of atmosphere is very prevalent, and the examiners and students also recognize each other.

This is not imposed on students by the examiner, speaking of which, this culture has been around for a long time, and it is not only the examiner who gets the benefits.

The main reason for this is that you can huddle together to keep warm and form new interest groups!

Friendship between men is nothing more than having been through the same window, carrying a gun, and having prostituted themselves*

In order to strengthen the friendship of the 'classmates', it is necessary to have a common nominal teacher.

The students recognize this, they also recognize the nominal teacher, and of course, the nominal teacher also recognizes, so it is beneficial to both of them.

Although the emperor did not approve, he was helpless.

After all...... It's not on the table!

This is a consensus atmosphere, and it is not an edict from the emperor that can change it!

No, the left and right attendants of the Ministry of Rites are scrambling, and several Lang Zhong are also eager to try, although other officials are not qualified to serve, they are also standing in line invisibly......

Fengtian Hall was noisy, and Zhu Youzhu was on fire.

"The examiner's business...... There is still some time before the exam, so there is no rush in this matter! Zhu Youzhu said in a deep voice, "Regardless of it for the time being, I have already had an idea, and I will notify you at that time." ”

"Your Majesty, the imperial examination is not allowed to be sloppy, and the appointment and dismissal will be made when the matter is coming, I'm afraid that I will make a mistake in my busyness!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please ask the Emperor to make a decision as soon as possible." Hehe, wouldn't I have made a decision early to help you sort out the situation and make it easier for you to stand in line? Zhu Youzhu sneered: "I said, this matter is not discussed for the time being, you are so anxious, but for the sake of making friends in private?" ”

“……”

Seeing that no one was talking, Zhu Youzhu said: "I'm tired, if you Aiqing have any words, leave them for reading." ”

With that, he walked away.

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youzhu flipped through the small book, his mood was inexplicably irritable, he had been in the pole for more than ten years, and everything was calm, but it was precisely like this, the momentum of the civil official group was getting stronger and stronger.

If he doesn't do anything, it's really ...... Such is the political soil.

At present, there is no war in the Ming Dynasty, and the vigorous development of industry and commerce has also given civil officials the opportunity to show their strengths.

It's not that Zhu Youzhu doesn't want to fight a few battles, so as to promote some generals to consolidate his authority, however, the division must be famous, and he can't fight if he wants to.

Nor can the emperor do what he likes.

"Alas, I hope that General Li can fight a good battle this time......" Zhu Youzhu muttered to himself, and then, he smiled bitterly again.

Li Hong is a person who has gone to the year of the sixtieth year, how many years can he still work?

As for the young generals, he didn't know much about them, and the sailors were far away from him, so even if he promoted some backbones, it would not play much role in consolidating power.

If you really want to firmly control the military power, you still have to rely on land warfare, reward soldiers for winning battles, and change guards to enter Beijing, so as to effectively deter the civilian clique.

However, Mobei is honestly like a rabbit, and now that trade is prevalent, people do business in a friendly manner, and fight indiscriminately?

Zhu Youzhu was a little worried, his body and bones were not very good, and he felt that he was not the long-lived person, and he was afraid that if he left early, his son would not be able to take on this heavy burden.

"Where to start......" Zhu Youzhu muttered to himself.

"Father, father, ......" Zhu Houzhao trotted in and threw himself into his arms, not making love.

Zhu Youzhu came back to his senses, stroked his son's head, most of the sadness on his face disappeared, and said with a smile:

"What do you want to do?"

"Father, the son wants to go out of the palace to see those students." Zhu Houzhao said coquettishly, "It's not good." ”

"What's so beautiful, if you want to see it, stay in the palace for the test, and your father will take you." Zhu Youzhu smiled with doting, "You, you just want to go out and have fun." ”

He didn't have the slightest precaution against his son.

This has to be replaced by a suspicious fourth, and if the chubby Dan says this, the lightest is also a half-year seclusion.

"Father, the sons and daughters haven't been out of the palace for a long time, so why don't you take me with you?" Zhu Houzhao pleaded.

"Don't make a fuss, my father is busy now." Zhu Youzhu was not in that mood, "When the imperial examination is over, I will take you out for a walk when I have time." ”

"Erchen wants to go out now."

"Thick photos!"

"Okay, okay," Zhu Houzhao looked wistful and asked, "Father, what are you busy with, do you want your sons to help you?" ”

"You kid ......" Zhu Youzhu laughed and scolded, "Your old man is not dead yet, are you in such a hurry?" ”

Zhu Houzhao was depressed: "Good intentions should be ...... Forget it, you continue to worry, no matter what you are, I'll go to grandma. ”

"Come back, come back, your grandmother is old, but she can't stand your toss, so stay here honestly." Zhu Youjiao hurriedly grabbed his son's arm, groaned, and said, "Houzhao, my father will test you." ”

"Hmph, accept your test."

"It's not big, it's not too small." Zhu Youzhu scraped the tip of his nose and asked, "In the future, if you become an emperor, if the civil officials are powerful, how should you deal with it?" ”

"Suppress Wenbei with force!" Zhu Houzhao didn't even think about it.

Zhu Youjiao's eyes rose with relief, and he continued to ask: "It takes time to suppress the military with force, if the situation is urgent, or if the civil officials are too powerful to control the generals, what should you do?" ”

"Eunuchs, in all dynasties, all eunuchs become bigger, all of them are unstable imperial power." Zhu Houzhao sighed like a little adult, "Father, haven't you ever read a history book?" ”

"It's presumptuous!" Zhu Youzhu slapped him on the back, and then was a little surprised, "These are all taught by Yang Tinghe?" ”

"He is a civil official, and his father thinks he will teach his sons how to deal with civil officials?" Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes and said, "These are the rules that Erchen discovered when he read history books. ”

"I'm very human!" Zhu Youzhu was delighted.

Zhu Houzhao was complacent, "Father, can you ask some difficult questions?" It's all too simple! ”

"Okay, then I'll give you a hard time." Zhu Youzhu moved to the side of the dragon chair and patted the vacant seat, "Come, sit down and say." ”

Zhu Houzhao grew up a little more, and he also knew the taboo, and said: "Father, I still don't sit." ”

"It's just a chair, the country will be yours in the future, what do you care about this." Zhu Youzhu pulled his son to sit down, considered the wording, and told him the questions he was worried about......

Zhu Houzhao listened quietly, the smugness on his face gradually disappeared, his little brows furrowed tightly, and he was speechless for a long time......

Seeing this, Zhu Youzhu was not disappointed, but even more happy, which shows that his son understands and clarifies it.

The son is not yet ten years old, he has such understanding, and he will definitely be able to be a promising king in the future...... Zhu Youzhang was sincerely happy.

Long

Just when Zhu Youzhu couldn't bear to embarrass him, Zhu Houzhao spoke:

"Father, the son has a less mature method!"
