Chapter 90 No one can understand the mind

Looking at his son's back, Yang Tinghe knew that he didn't understand what he meant.

After the new king ascended the throne, Yang Tinghe felt increasingly exhausted physically and mentally.

Liang Chu has shown his edge, Jiang Mian is vacillating, Fei Hong and Yang Yiqing are all on their way back to Beijing, and there is Wang Shouren who preaches the philosophy of mind in the south.

He failed to straighten Chao Gang as smoothly as expected two months ago, and his young and famous son is still so frivolous today.

The study room returned to silence, and the flickering candlelight illuminated Yang Tinghe's face flickeringly.

The determination he had just made was shaken a little because of his son.

If he really fought this hard, would Yang Shen stand firm after he left?
Yang Tinghe closed his eyes and sighed wearily.

Is it the end of the month?
By that time, some people will arrive in Beijing one after another.

Tomorrow, I still have to read the volume, so Yang Tinghe stood up holding the desk.

There was still no word written on the paper that had been spread all night, Yang Tinghe silently stared at the blank paper.

Why is it so difficult to write?
In his original expectation, Daming at this moment should be like a piece of blank paper, where he can fully express his long-cherished wishes for many years.

But it was different now, the new monarch he had chosen had already woven a web around him within a month.

Using the principles of the monarch and his ministers, using the guise of the monarch and his ministers being united, using his Yang Ting and Chi Chen's hearts of public loyalty to the country.

It doesn't matter, if the emperor has always been modest and prudent in his attitude of listening to the government, listening to lectures and persuasion, then it really doesn't matter, take your time, many things happen slowly like this.

But why do you have to let people talk about Yu Qian in private?Do you have the intention to let everyone talk about the reform, build momentum, and then push the boat along with the current to really implement the new law?
That is really going to shake the foundation of Daming!

First to proclaim the rule of law, and then to emphasize military power, now to enrich the country and reform, and to make the subjects of the world as civil and military as Yu Qian, loyal and honest, can you control all this?

There are many things that cannot be made safer if you listen to more people's opinions and be cautious on the surface!
Acting from top to bottom, behind the emperor who took the lead in the charge when he first appeared on the stage, all the speculators like Yan Song are now emerging.

What is loyalty if you only know how to cater to your wishes?

Is it the end of the month?
Yang Tinghe scratched the table with his fingers, and his eyes became firm again.

Jade is not cut, not a device.

His son is like this, and the new king is also like this!

Then at the end of the month!
……

On May [-]th, read the volume.

More than 300 palace examination papers sealed the first night were sent to Wenzhao Pavilion, known as Wenlou.

Now, seventeen examiners are here.

Four cabinet bachelors, four ministers from the Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Officials, Ministry of Punishment, and Ministry of Households, five senior bachelors from the Imperial Academy including Shi Ping, Yan Song, Liu Long, Zhang Bi, and Yang Shen, as well as Xia Yan, Xie Changjie, and Zuo Shilang from the Ministry of Industry Wu Tingju and Guozijian sacrificed wine to Jia Yong.

The lineup is complex and intriguing.

Yang Tinghe and his son are all examiners, the emperor's "favor" is too great, Yang Tinghe's mood has become indifferent now.

The sacred will that was given before cannot be persuaded.

However, Yang Shen's qualifications in the Imperial Academy are indeed sufficient, and he was the number one scholar back then, so there are sufficient reasons for choosing him.

Yang Tinghe increasingly felt that the emperor was putting him on fire.

He and Mao Ji really wanted to select many backbones who were the examiners, but most of them were not selected.

Now among the seventeen examiners, there are faintly divided into three factions: Yang Tinghe, Liang Chu, and Yuan Zonggao each have some people under their command.

But someone like Yan Song, who is not only a student of Yang Tinghe, but also a close minister of His Majesty, can be said to be swinging from side to side.

As for Liang Chu and Wang Qiong, it was only because they were attacked together before that they were temporarily holding together.

It was already complicated enough, but after yesterday, a new camp might be divided because of the signal that the emperor wanted to implement a new law.

Yang Tinghe didn't bother to care about these anymore. When he was reading the paper today, he didn't want to think about who recognized whose handwriting, who chose who was the first class.

What about the champion?It's just that he entered the Hanlin Academy first.

Liang Chu and Shi Ping, who had gone through multiple readings, looked at each other in blank dismay: This may be the most harmonious and least controversial reading in history.

Basically everyone is absent-minded.

You know, there is no special copying of examination papers for the palace examination.In the past, Xinke Gongsheng sent poems everywhere on the grounds of asking for knowledge, and one of the functions was to show off their calligraphy.

When reading the test papers, many Gong students who received attention were transparent even though their names were sealed in the test papers.

Township party, protégé, old acquaintance... When reading a test paper is not a dispute or compromise between each other?
Now Liang Chu puts Huang Zuo in the upper class, Shi Jue puts Zhang Cong in the upper class, and Mao Ji puts Fei Maozhong in the upper class with bad intentions.

"Someone thought that this article should be placed first."

Hearing Mao Ji's voice, Yang Tinghe leaned over to have a look, but still didn't say a word.

Liang Chu and Shi Ping looked at this article strangely: Are you funny?Aren't you afraid that the emperor will scold all the examiners?
But... this also seems wonderful.

So Liang Chu nodded, and Shi Ping nodded too.

Anyway, Mao Ji was charging.

Liang Chu, who was very familiar with Yang Tinghe, felt something was wrong. What was this old opponent so silent today, what was he thinking?
They set this article as the first to submit it to the emperor for a decision, are they trying to test something?

On May [-]th, the three tripods were appointed.

In the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Houcong was sitting on the throne, with an answer sheet in front of the case.

What was brought here were the ten top-ranked answer sheets that were "jointly approved" by seventeen readers.

Yan Song, Liu Long, Yang Shen, Zhang Bi and others finished reading an answer sheet one by one, and then Zhang Jin would send it to Zhu Houcong for him to read again.

According to the unspoken rules of the past, generally only the first three copies are read.In most cases, the emperor didn't bother to change the rankings assigned by the examiners.

This time, Yang Ting and them were all mentally prepared that the emperor would listen to ten copies, and even ask someone to pick up the second-class answer sheet for review, which would greatly disrupt the previous ranking.

But very unusual.

"Qing and others have worked hard, and the three tripods will be determined accordingly. The rest of the rankings can be judged by the ministers. Fill in the list, use the seal, and make the edict."

Liang Chu stared blankly at the emperor who got up and returned to Qianqing Palace.

A strategy question will be tested in Beijing, don't you want to select the talents in your mind?

Don't you wonder who the No. [-] scholar is, and you don't even wait to take the papers out to see the name?

In the 16th year of Zhengde, the three top grades and the second and third grades were settled in this inexplicable atmosphere?

Liang Chu's heart was full of alarm bells.

The Minister of Rites is Yuan Zonggao, it is impossible for the emperor not to know the rules behind the palace examination reading papers.

Are you not worried about what the cabinet ministers are doing in there?

Liang Chu, who thought he already knew a little about the new king, looked at Yang Tinghe, and lost Huang Zuo's joy of getting this ranking.

Something is wrong with Yang Tinghe.

The emperor is not right either!

Why suddenly no one can understand his mind?
