I'm a big dick

Chapter 123

"My lord—" Wang Tiqian came in and reminded softly that it was getting late and it was time for dinner.

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and said to Wang Tiqian: "Pack eight dishes and two jugs of wine for Mr. Shen, and send them to the post."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to Shen Yourong and said with a smile: "With me, Shen Qing must be reserved, so I went back and ate a little more freely. It can be regarded as my acceptance for Shen Qing. Well, take these documents, I wrote them, Shen Qing read it carefully, tomorrow—”

Shaking his head, Zhu Youxiao said: "I'm afraid I don't have time tomorrow. Then let's do it the day after tomorrow. I will test the cannon in the outskirts of the city. Shen Qing will watch it with me, and then I will play it again."

Shen Yourong still didn't know what the emperor was thinking, but the kindness of giving wine and food made him secretly relieved.

"My minister thanks you Long Live for the reward." Shen Yourong got up to salute, took the wooden box with documents brought by the palace servants, and left.

Another veteran is exhausted!Seeing Shen Yourong, who was already over 60 years old, quit, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help sighing softly.

There is no other way, apart from Shen Yourong, I don't know of any other famous generals in naval warfare, even if they are experienced generals.

As for Yu Zigao, the Fujian general, Zhu Youxiao felt that his ability was mediocre, and he was far behind his father Yu Dayou!

Of course, the imperial court's capital investment in the navy is also a problem. Zhu Youxiao has drawn up internal funds and issued an order to order Fu to build ships and reorganize the army.

Time is tight, and the navy must be expanded before Zheng Zhilong and others sit in power.

Throw pots and sell money, tighten your belt, or we really sell the palace?
The ones in Beijing are magnificent and can sell more money, but the ones in Nanjing can be kept by themselves, there must be a nest.

………………

A lavender light, like a beacon of freedom signal, swept across the horizon, dyeing the earth with the beautiful colors brought by the rising sun.

Outside the Forbidden City, a large group of people are already waiting.

On one side are civil and military officials, and on the other side are tributes wearing brand-new Jinshi crown uniforms and black gauze hats with hairpin flowers.Of course, Wu Jinshi dressed in military general costumes are also indispensable.

The results of the palace examination came out, and today is the "Da Chuan Lu".With so many young talents recruited at once, the imperial court had to hold a grand induction ceremony for them.

The tributes are very excited, they are already winners in life, it depends on the final ranking!
No. [-] scholar, No. [-], Tanhua, the treatment and honor they get are not comparable to ordinary Jinshi.

Compared with the excitement of the tributes, the officials' side is much more dull.

I was "resigned" so much all of a sudden, and I was overwhelmed by the big hat of "forming a party and slandering";
The anti-corruption purges of the soldiers, households, and officials have severely punished a group of officials from the capital to the local area; no one is not shocked by the decisive blow of the young emperor.

What about the king's benevolence, the traditions of the court, and the unspoken rules of the officialdom, why have they all changed all of a sudden?
One must be cautious when resigning from office, be dismissed by forming a party, and be even more careful about corruption.

Although the young emperor's actions did not mean that the court was awe-inspiring, it also made many officials vigilant and re-examine the emperor's thoughts and actions.

Of course, there are those who are frustrated, and there are naturally proud ones.

The newly-appointed ministers of soldiers, households, and officials are all high-spirited, looking like they want to flex their muscles.

In addition, Yang Lian, who took over to assist in military affairs, and Bi Zisu, who was promoted to the third rank of Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, have ordered thirteen supervisory censors to come to Beijing to report on their duties. The intention of making a big move is obvious!
The official rank of the supervisory censor is not high, but his duty is to patrol the prefectures and counties, and he specializes in the investigation and impeachment of officials.

You see, Bi Zisu is standing there with a serious face, he is famous all over the world for his strong temperament, those big eyes are looking at everyone and trembling!
serious!That's right, Bi Ziyan and Bi Zisu are two brothers, both quite talented.

Zhu Youxiao Jianba Bizisu entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate in order to control the stronghold of the speech officials, which is also the den of the Donglin Party.

Basically, after Zhu Youxiao's operation was as fierce as a tiger, the Donglin Party in the court has been severely damaged.

Not counting Xiao Xiami, the heavyweight officials of the Donglin Party were either transferred out of the capital or relegated.Sun Shenxing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, also asked to resign on the pretext of illness. According to the emperor's straightforwardness, he was about to leave soon.

The drum of the gate tower of the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City rang, and as soon as the drum sounded, the civil and military officials lined up according to their ranks and positions, waiting for the palace gate to open.

Under the command of officials from the Ministry of Rites, civil and military Jinshi also lined up in order.

The bell rang, and the palace gate slowly opened, unveiling the majestic and solemn veil of the palace.

Civil and military officials are familiar with the road, stepping into the Meridian Gate, and civil and military Jinshi followed the civil and military officials, and also entered the Meridian Gate.

The Jinshui River meanders between the Meridian Gate and the Taihe Gate. The Jinshui Bridge is made of white marble, which is exquisitely carved and magnificent.

The officials adjusted their crown belts again, and the queue was adjusted more neatly, and they continued to move forward.

At this time, in addition to more guards, the censor among the civil and military officials also began to take charge of the supervision.Any inappropriate words or deeds will be recorded and dealt with in the future.

Outside the main hall, civil and military officials stood up from top to bottom according to their grades, while civil and military Jinshi lined up behind the officials and stood under the "chi", which can be described as distinct.

Because the emperor wanted to visit in person, the outside of the main hall was arranged according to the emperor's specifications, with all kinds of guards of honor and musicians on standby.

The soldiers of the Son of Heaven stood on both sides of the steps, with shining ceremonial knives and spears in their hands, all with their chests and heads held high, majestic and majestic, rendering the atmosphere majestic and grand.

According to the etiquette system, at the beginning of the morning, the Minister of Rites went to the Qianqing Palace to play and invite the emperor to leave the palace with a dress, and the attendants led him to the hall to be seated.

At this time, Zhonghe Shaoyue played the chapter of Longping, and a guard held his whip to the eaves. After dancing three whips, Danbi played the chapter of Qingping.

Well, the whip whipped loudly!Music, not exciting enough.

Zhu Youxiao sat on the throne, with a Hexi smile on his face, looking at the officials and civil and military scholars who kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times below.

Today I just came out to show my face, there is no need to issue orders or lectures, just sit there as a display.

At this time, the official of Honglu Temple began to proclaim the "System": "On a certain date, month and day, the tributes from all over the world will be tested. The first class will be awarded Jinshi and rank, the second class will be awarded Jinshi's background, and the third class will be awarded with Jinshi's background."

After the announcement of the "System", some palace officials handed over the ranking of the imperial list to Han Yu, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

Holding the imperial list in his hand, Han Yu bowed to Emperor Tianqi sitting on the dragon chair, then walked to the table placed in the east of the main hall, opened the imperial list and put it down.

The civil and military Jinshi standing behind the officials immediately became nervous and excited, even breathing involuntarily.

Under the gaze of fiery eyes, officials from the Ministry of Rites walked to the table and opened the gold list, and began to sing the list.

"No. 1 in the Enke Palace Examination in the Second Year of the Apocalypse... Liu Lishun!"
