Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 442 Who Is That Man
What do you plan to do?
Zhu Youzhen was a little dazed.

In fact, he didn't think too much about it.

Participating in this scientific examination and leaving Xiangyang Mansion is actually just because he doesn't want to live a life of eating and waiting to die, and he doesn't want his descendants to become poorer and poorer, so that they can only live on relief in the end.

As for what path to take after passing the Jinshi examination, Zhu Youzhen didn't think too much about it, all of this was out of his control.

Of course, he also thought about the worst situation, such as going to a remote place to be a county magistrate and living a poor life.

But he has a family background, he doesn't care about that, what he likes is freedom.

"Your Majesty, I haven't thought too much about it. According to the court policy, I may be removed from the title of county king, but I'm ready for this. I just hope that I can serve the court and do my best! I'm leaving this place. The title of the royal family is naturally a commoner, for the imperial court and His Majesty to dispatch."

Zhu Youyou expressed his thoughts.

"It's good for Uncle Wang to think this way. This Ming Dynasty is the world of my Zhu family's descendants. It is my duty-bound responsibility to protect my Da Ming's territory and strengthen my Ming Dynasty. I need the assistance of the clan members, but I need to have the real ability to compete with others. Only then can I recommend you with peace of mind!"

Qin Shao confessed directly.

"Yes! The minister saves it!"

Zhu Youzhen immediately replied loudly.

In the third year of Jiajing, the new emperor will try for the first time since he came to power.

This exam is divided into two sessions. The first session is an open and consistent discussion question. All candidates can follow up to answer after seeing the roll paper.

The exam questions are also very novel:

1. Everyone who has entered the examination has already gained a foothold in the officialdom of Ming Dynasty. Let me talk about your views on expanding the number of people in the officialdom.

2. Regarding official corruption in the officialdom, some people think that the salary of officials is too little. Do you agree?Do you think it is useful to have high salaries and cheap officials?

3. Western countries sail around the world and strive to make our life a sphere. What do you think about this?
The Jiajing three-year examination was the most shocking exam for many exams.

Some scholars who are obsessed with reading don't know what to say, complaining that this exam is a bit too unexpected and has nothing to do with too many books.

There are also many people excitedly saying that this exam is exciting, and they can speak freely,

This three-year Jiajing examination was still discussed by many people in the next few years.

In March, spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and it is also the time when students just finish their exams, and the capital is full of lively scenes.

In order to activate the capital's economy, Qin Shao asked the Ministry of Housing to set up night markets near the Wumen Vegetable Market and other urban areas.

Although the workload of the patrol personnel of the Wucheng Bingma Division has increased, the overtime allowance of the patrol personnel has also been increased because the night market is economically active and can make money.

Being able to work overtime has become something that many people look forward to, and some departments have conflicts because of rushing to work overtime.

After all, it’s not easy to live in the capital, and a simple salary is enough to eat and drink. If you want to support a large family, you also need to live a nourishing life. Not a small income.

"Master, in front is Mr. Zhu's yard, should we go over and have a look!"

Today is Xiumu, Qin Shao still worked for half a day during the day, and took Xiaosanzi and Wang Yin out to visit the night market at night, and was about to go back at this moment, Xiaosanzi pointed to the yard in front of him and said.

I wish the old man went to Ludi on a business trip some time ago. Not long after he came back, according to the current policy of resting and muting for officials in Ming Dynasty, officials can rest for three to five days after returning from a long-distance business trip (depending on the distance of the business trip, of course).

Qin Shao hasn't seen the old man Zhu for many days. Thinking of the time with the old man Zhu and the old man's care for him, he hasn't chatted with him for a long time. After all, he is still busy. Because of my current status, it is not good for the court to get too close.

I wish the old man, like Zhang Cong, is a person who knows how to advance and retreat.

With the change of Qin Shao's status, the previous casual attitude towards Qin Shao has now often become respectful.

"Now that you're here, let's go to the teacher's house to have a look."

Qin Shao laughed.

The old man Zhu and his son Zhu Xu lived separately, and chose this yard to be relatively small. There was only a hall in front, and the house next to the hall.

As soon as Qin Shao and the others entered the courtyard not far away, they heard loud voices and guessing wine orders inside.

The voice was very familiar, and Qin Shao recognized it as the old man Zhu's voice as soon as he heard it.

The old man Zhu has always been introverted, but today he was in high spirits guessing the drinking order, and even laughed out loud at the part where he had the most fun, obviously he was in a very good mood today.

The other voice is also a male voice, but the voice is very strange, Qin Shao has good ears, but he has never heard it before.

The third son stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Watch the road, go see who is coming?"

The old man Zhu was obviously in high spirits, and seemed a little unhappy about being disturbed, so he hurriedly asked Guan Lu to go to the door to see what was going on.

Qin Shao and the others soon heard the sound of someone trotting towards the door.

With the sound of people walking, the door creaked open.

"Who! Who are you looking for?"

Guan Lu asked loudly.

"Master Qin, no, Your Majesty...Your Majesty!"

Guan Lu was a little talkative, trembling all over, and was about to kneel down.

Since Qin Shao became the emperor, Guan Lu has not been able to see Qin Shao again.

Hearing from his master that his former master's student, Qin Shao, who is a master of reading, actually became the emperor, he took a long time to digest it before accepting it.

Isn't Young Master Qin's surname Qin?They were settled in Anlu Prefecture before, how did they suddenly become Prince Xing, and how did they become emperors later?
Guanlu didn't understand very much. My master was so excited when he heard that Lord Qin became the emperor, he almost twitched. Guanlu took a long time, especially because his master stayed in the capital because of the new emperor. Guanlu only accepted everything when he was reused and said he was the emperor's master.

"Ha ha!"

Little Sanzi used to quarrel with Guan Lu a lot, but now seeing Guan Lu's frightened appearance, he couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Xiao Sanzi teasing him, Guan Lu's fear of the new emperor dissipated a lot in an instant.

"Your Majesty, you... I'll call the master!"

Guan Lu turned around and wanted to communicate.

"Are there any guests at home?"

Qin Shao asked.

"It's not considered a guest! It's a fellow of the master. This time he came to the capital for scientific research, and the master let him live at home. Didn't the master go to other places a while ago? He came here early, and the master asked me to stay at home to receive him , He has been here for two months, and now he is waiting for the test results! The master just came back a few days ago, and when the two of them were free, they made two side dishes to drink, and I will call the master!"

Guan Lu replied honestly.

"Since it's not a rare visitor, let's come here together!"

Qin Shao said.

The third son directly pushed the door open, deliberately tripping Guanlu's foot when entering the door, almost tripped him and sat him on the ground.

Guan Road closes the door and argues dissatisfiedly with the third son.

"Guan Lu, who is here? What are you muttering at the door?"

Zhu Zhishan obviously heard the voices from this side, and couldn't help asking loudly after not seeing Guanlu for a long time.

"Is there someone asking for directions?"

Said a slightly drunken unfamiliar voice.

"It's late at night, who will come here to ask for directions? And here in the alley!"

Zhu Zhishan retorted.

"Teacher is very elegant today. If you have good wine, you won't be called a student!"

Qin Shao said loudly.

The two were drinking in the veranda of the yard, and candlesticks were lit around them, illuminating the yard brightly.

Qin Shao saw Zhu Zhishan drinking with a glass at a glance, and there was a person sitting opposite him:
He has high bulging hair, a long beard, and a thin and short body, even a little dry. He is dressed in white clothes, but the color is a bit worn, and he can tell that he has been wearing it for a long time.

Who is this person?
