Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 250 Emperor's mind

For the Gongsheng students, the ups and downs of the Spring Festival this time were too scary, which caught them off guard and made them feel at a loss as to what to do.

The titles on the gold list in the initial examination made them feel that they had reached the pinnacle of their lives, and each of them felt that their careers had great hope.

It's just that what happened next made them feel unexpected. A large number of scholars were shouting that the imperial examination was unfair, and that the chief examiner was partial to southern scholars.When the scholars in the north made a fuss, many scholars in the south also made a fuss, and all of them were unhappy.

But now, the papers of the tribute students who were nominated on the gold list have been published. I believe everyone knows what kind of articles those people wrote.The imperial court did not find out that the chief examiner and others had practiced favoritism and fraud, but a large number of leading troublemakers were arrested and sent to prison, which seemed a bit interesting.

It's just that all of this has become a topic of conversation for many people, or it's just some news spread by hearsay.

Zhu Yunying didn't care about those things at all, what he had to prepare for now was the imperial examination.This can also be regarded as officially drawing a successful conclusion to this imperial examination, which is what he should do.

When Lian Zining and the others arrived at the Hall of Martial Arts, they saw the young emperor who was reviewing the memorial with a blank face.

Zhu Yunying didn't put on airs on purpose either, he was just busy reviewing his memorial, and he just had to deal with the matter at hand.As for the other things, you don't need to pay much attention to them for the time being, and Zhu Yunying can be regarded as well aware of this.

Putting down the memorial, Zhu Yunying asked, "What is the result of this joint trial?"

Ren Hengtai took the lead and immediately delivered the memorial, "The ministers and others will interrogate and know that the Peking scholar Liu Yong and others have ulterior motives after being defeated, and took the lead in inciting the scholars to make trouble. He is a son of a wealthy gentry in the Peking Mansion, and he has many dandies."

Zhu Yunying was noncommittal, he never thought that academic qualifications represented quality.He is also very clear that in fact, once a lot of highly educated people do evil things, their destructive power will be even more astonishing.

Song Zhong also said in the midst of a civil servant's dislike, "Liu Yong, his grandfather was a subordinate official in the puppet Yuan Dynasty."

Zhu Yunying nodded slightly, and then said, "That's it, don't cling to it anymore. Liu Yong and other major troublemakers, let's get rid of their merits and never hire them."

Such punishments are definitely not light.Zhu Yunying's words are definitely smacking Tianxian in his mouth, and all of this has completely interrupted the future of people like Liu Yong.For these people, perhaps they can only drink and complain.

Be an underappreciated wit, and there is nothing wrong with spending time with poetry and wine.Maybe if the official career is not going well, Daming can have a few more poets, or maybe a few deadly great painters, etc.

Zhu Yunying's mood is not bad, these things can be regarded as done well, and her heart can be regarded as relatively at ease.

Things have to be done one by one, and Chun Wei can be regarded as a part of it.The next words are naturally a series of follow-up things, all of which are up to Zhu Yunying to continue to do well.

It seems that the matter of the scholars in Chunwei is like this, and it will not affect many future plans.At this point in the test, it is basically announced that it has come to an end, and then it is the highlight of the palace test.

A good score in the test naturally means a good foundation, but the ranking in the test does not mean everything.Top three and so on, this is also a knowledge of ranking, for those students who are about to fall short of their careers, this is also the starting point of their careers, and even directly affects how far they can go in the future.

The number one scholar is not necessarily sure to have a great future, let alone the Huiyuan and the like, we can't slack off now.

Zhu Yunying was quite aware of these things.Although many people now feel that the Ming Dynasty began to select scholars for stereotypes, and the knowledge of scholars was confined to the Four Books and Five Classics.

This is indeed a normal state, but it doesn't mean that those scholars are dead-educated, and there are still many people who have some abilities.Many scholars still have some real talents.

The Xinke Gongsheng students were quite nervous at this time. They lined up and entered the imperial city, and they were about to see the sky.

The officials of Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites are also busy at this time, emphasizing some rules and so on.Although these Gongsheng probably prepared a lot during this time, there is no harm in being careful at this time.

Zhu Yunying felt that it was too solemn to meet these new students in Fengtian Hall, so she went to the Wenlou next to Fengtian Hall.

Under the leadership of officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, Xinke Gongsheng entered the Wenlou.At this moment, the hall is full of civil and military officials dressed in crimson, cyan, and green official robes embroidered with birds and animals.

If you want to be a 'beast in clothes', these Gongsheng students will soon be able to do so.

"The ministers pay homage to the Holy Majesty, long live my emperor. Long live, long live!"

Five bows and three kowtows, Lao Zhu has already set the rules.This is also the etiquette for officials to meet the emperor on a more formal occasion, bowing their heads to their hands five times, and then kowtow to the ground three times.

Zhu Yunying was seated on a high dragon chair, and these Gongsheng students basically didn't dare to look up at him, "Let's get flat."

The Gongsheng students hurriedly stood up, and of course some were too excited to make a little joke.But basically no one cares about it. Many people have come out of this step. This kind of thing happened in the previous few imperial examinations. There is nothing new about it.

"You are the first department after I ascended the throne. I have high expectations for you. Don't let me down." Although many of the people below are older than Zhu Yunying, and there are even old people with gray hair, Zhu Yunying still started. He gave the admonition, "You and others, you should strictly abide by your duties."

After Wang Chengen saw Zhu Yunying nodding, he immediately walked down the imperial steps holding a roll of apricot yellow cloth, and handed the cloth scroll with the title to Ru Yun.

In fact, there was no need for Ru Yu to promulgate this, but considering Ru Yu's previous grievances, as well as the previous doubts about Ru Yu from the ruling and opposition parties, Zhu Yunying can be regarded as giving Ru Wei some dignity and letting him 'host' the palace examination.

Under the watchful eyes of Mei Yin and others, Ru Yu, who was the examiner, slowly opened the apricot-yellow cloth, and then placed it on the imperial case.

At this time, the sound of drums sounded, and the sound of whipping also sounded.Zhu Yunying got up slowly after the Gongsheng students bowed nine times.His time was relatively tight, so naturally he didn't have much time to stare at the palace exams of the Gongsheng students.

"I obey the destiny to succeed the emperor, rule the eight barrens and guard against the myriad poles, shepherd billions of people, and protect the world."

Many Gong students were a little excited and a little dazed, because this time it was not the Four Books and Five Classics, but current affairs policy.That is to say, His Majesty the Emperor is inspecting the ability of these tribute students to do things, to govern the country and the people, to manage floods and droughts, etc. This is a policy for governing the country.

Ru Yu and the others did not stay here at this time, but left the Hall of Martial Arts with Zhu Yunying.Those who supervise the palace examination are not in the turn of court officials like them.As for any Gongsheng who dared to cheat at this time, it would basically be a problem whether he would be able to live on, not to mention being abolished.

When we arrived at the Hall of Martial Arts, Zhu Yunying sat down and said, "Ru Buan has made meritorious service in this master's examination, and it is great merit to accept it for passing."

Ru Yu immediately knelt down and hurriedly said, "This is the duty of a minister."

"Reward for meritorious deeds, and punish for demerits. This is the root of my work." Zhu Yunying said slowly, "I originally wanted to make your paternal daughter a princess, but just think about it or forget it. Your eldest son Ru Jian also has some talents, let him go to the Dahontang, the crown prince is going to the Dahontang soon."

Ru Yu was very excited, and then she was also a little worried, "I am so grateful for your majesty's grace. It's just that the eldest son of this minister has limited talent and learning. If I accompany the prince to study with me, I'm afraid it will happen."

Ru Xun is a great talent, but his son's talent is mediocre.Ru Yuan's intentions were obvious, and she was worried that his son would not be a good companion.

Zhu Yunying didn't care too much, and said with a smile, "The prince's companionship is not just Rujian, just let him go. It's also a good story. Rubandu is my companion, and Rubandu's eldest son is my eldest son's companion." read."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yunying looked at Mei Yin and Liu Yu, "Uncles, are our little cousins ​​going to the Dudu Mansion or the Dabentang?"

Mei Yin's two sons, the eldest son Mei Shunchang and the second son Mei Jingfu, in the past Zhu Yunying joked that his little cousin would go to the five armies' governor's mansion to be the left governor, the right governor, etc., or the governor's acquaintance.But at that time, Zhu Yunying was just the grandson of the emperor, and he was just a kid, so he couldn't be serious.

But now that Zhu Yunying was sitting on the dragon chair, his words were naturally not a joke.

Mei Yin quickly replied, "Thank you Long En, it's just"

"No, but!" Zhu Yunying interrupted with a smile, and said, "If you can't even make arrangements for your cousin, the eldest aunt will scold him. We were brought up by the elder aunt and the younger aunt when we were young, and we are closest to the two aunts. "

Mei Yin and Liu Zhen naturally knew this, this is also the difference between them and other Lao Zhu's son-in-law.The son-in-law Lao Zhu likes is actually Mei Yin.And after Xiao Zhu ascended the throne, although it seemed that he was very kind to the other sons-in-law, it was just that the uncles he really recognized were Mei Yin and Liu Wei.

As for the two sister-in-laws, Zhu Yunying is used to being 'superior', who told him to be the elder brother, the eldest brother is like a father!Especially after his parents are gone, taking care of his younger siblings is also his job.

Zhu Yunying thought for a while, and then said, "Eldest uncle also had military exploits in the early years, but these years he has somewhat turned towards civil servants. Otherwise, the army is about to go out this time, and eldest uncle and younger uncle will go to the front line."

Mei Yin and Liu Cha understood at once that Mei Yin did have some military merits and had been on the battlefield, but she was not named a Marquis because of her merits.And Liu Zhen's title is Bo Chengyi, which inherited Liu Bowen's title, but this title is also relatively low.

This is for the two uncles to earn some military merits, and Zhu Yunying justifiably gave his two uncles titles!
