I am the king of the dead

Power, power can influence or guide the behavior of others, or the ability to influence the course of events, and can allocate resources and benefits.

Power is everything.

The imperial power is the supreme power of the Ming Dynasty, and if you have the imperial power, you can get everything you want in the land of the Ming Dynasty, it just depends on whether you want it or not.

Zhu Jianji used his own actions little by little to give up the opportunity to get this power, and began to put it into action.

Zhu Qiyu, who watched the white deer in the imperial garden, although he didn't know much about his eldest son, he still understood the children's tricks clearly.

Even Shi Heng didn't plead guilty.

A good deed of offering auspiciousness, but witnessing the emperor's heir fighting for power?
it's not true.

"His Royal Highness Chongwang is virtuous." Hu Wei looked at the figures of the emperor's heirs and solved the mystery. Of course, Hu Wei knew that His Majesty had seen clearly what King Chong was doing, but Hu Wei was afraid that Shi Heng would not see clearly, so he did There was some miscalculation.

Since ancient times, the heirs of the emperor who wanted to gain the throne through force usually had to win over the powerful warriors in the court, and the uncle and nephew Shi Heng and Shi Biao were such powerful warriors.

Shi Heng's military talent is enough, but if he makes a wrong move in politics, he will be doomed.

"I just don't know if the prince understands." Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhu Jiancheng's figure with a little worry.

Zhu Jianji's contention is no contention, and Zhu Jiancheng's non-dispute is contention.

Zhu Qiyu wasn't worried about Zhu Jianji, the eldest son of the concubine was so smart that he really wanted to seize the heir, and he wouldn't ask for the white deer, he wasn't that stupid.

So Zhu Qiyu just punished them for copying books, instead of reprimanding them more.

Hu Mei said with certainty: "Although the prince is not talented, the prince is not confused."

"That's the best." Zhu Qiyu ended the topic, and Daming's mighty Shi Heng was studying some iron horses vigorously, without saying a word about it.

Zhu Qiyu and Shi Heng chatted about the affairs of the capital in the Western Regions. Hu Wei was beside him, looking at his nose and heart, as if he had fallen asleep.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival again, and Zhu Qiyu spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in the martial arts hall as usual this year, and did not return to Tai'an Palace. After ten years, the wounds of Civil Engineering and Tianbian finally healed slowly, and those lost lands were gradually brought back. Those sacrificed soldiers and civilians were gradually forgotten, those barren fields once again had the joy of harvest, and those who were in panic all day long turned into singing and dancing again.

But in Zhu Qiyu's heart, civil and natural changes have always been a huge scar on Daming, and he has never forgotten it once.

Sometimes he also wants to let the power be a little willful, regardless of any consequences, and drive thousands of miles to Kangguo to sweep the Oala people who are advancing westward, but at this moment, Daming is beyond his reach.

Zhu Qiyu stayed in the imperial study room of Juxian Pavilion until he was about to finish his official business. He held a memorial in his hand and read it carefully.

The sacrificial wine of Guozijian, Hanlin Wenlin Lang of the Imperial Academy, and Wu Jing, the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites, made a memorial.

When Zhu Qiyu went to the south, he investigated the case of the Renhe Xia family and found out the systematic fraud in the imperial examinations during the orthodox years. There were nearly 1000 candidates in the Jiangnan prefectures, all of whom were recruited by fraud. They were active in various prefectures. The prefectures and counties did county magistrates, promoted officials, and many nominated officials were involved in the case.

After the investigation, Zhu Qiyu directly exempted nearly a thousand people from their merits, beheaded several academic officials to show the public, and all those involved in the case were not allowed to take the imperial examination for three generations.

This imperial examination fraud case still has a follow-up.

Wu Jing, as the sacrificial wine of the Guozijian, also launched a large-scale investigation in the capital. The capital's juren was not involved much. After all, the court officials like Chen Xun and Wang Wen could cause trouble to the emperor because of a quota in Beijing. Come in front of you, with so many noble eyes watching, it's not easy to cheat.

However, the Guozijian in the capital has become the hardest hit area for fraud in the examination room.

The Guozijian is divided into two Guozijians, the North and the South, which are called the North and the South. There are more than 2 students in the North and the South. Among the more than 2 students, they have passed the self-examination of the Guozijian, and there is no problem. There are only about 1000 people, and the remaining [-]% do not meet the admission qualifications.

And Wu Jing said in the memorial: [The imperial court set up the Guozijian to educate the world's talents. From Hongwu to Zhengtong, all the tribute students were in the prison to study. The memorial wanted to save more than a thousand students in the provincial Beijing reserve, and the rest were released to relatives. 】

The meaning of releasing relatives is to release these inmates who do not meet the admission qualifications, go out of the Imperial College to rely on their relatives and friends, go back to their respective homes, and find their own mothers.

Zhu Qiyu did not criticize immediately, but put the memorial in his sleeve. Tomorrow is a routine court meeting, and he planned to discuss it before he got the long case of Wenhua Palace before making a decision.

More than 2 prison students were released in this way. Is it like letting the tiger go back to the mountain?

"Let the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Xiao Xuan, read the memorial." Zhu Qiyu said to Xing'an, the memorial is usually in duplicate, one is in Wenyuan Pavilion, and the other is in the imperial study of Emperor Daming.

Wenyuan Pavilion is under the control of Wang Wen, the envoy of the government, and Wang Wen is cautious and extremely strict. There is no decree in Wenyuan Pavilion, and anyone who leaks the secret will have to go to Beizhen Fusi to go through the five poisons If it is confirmed that they have colluded with cronies, they are very likely to be sent to the Jieyuan Court.

Zhu Qiyu asked Xiao Jun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, to take a look at the memorials in advance. The purpose is that when discussing matters tomorrow, don’t panic, and ask three questions. A little bit of care.

"Would you like to show Yu Shaobao too?" Xing'an bowed his head and asked tentatively.

He knew the content of this memorandum, and behind the nearly [-] supervisors were [-] wealthy households who could be regarded as powerful in the Han Dynasty, so it was a big deal.

"I'll show it to Yu Shaobao, I'm afraid I'll have to prepare a lot of words to persuade me to benevolent, but I can't be merciful in this matter. I want to take talent for the country and hide the filth. If you don't deal with it ruthlessly, there will be no long life for the country." Zhu Qiyu agreed with Xing'an's suggestion, but it was also quite a headache.

Convincing Yu Qian of Zhu Qiyu's handling is not an easy task.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Qiyu rode to the Wenhua Hall to preside over the court meeting as a routine. The 27 people had already been waiting outside the Wenhua Hall.

Opposite Wenhua Hall is Wenyuan Pavilion, and half of the south veranda of Wenhua Hall is the Supervisor of Rituals.

"Refer to Your Majesty, Your Majesty's congratulations." The 27 people saluted respectfully.

Zhu Qiyu signaled Xing'an to send down the topic of today's discussion, and said: "Excuse me, let's discuss the matter."

Everyone's complexion changed drastically after reading the test book. Although they knew that the evil trend in Daming's examination room was extremely serious, but when the matter was unfolded in front of everyone, everyone knew that the fraud in the examination room was serious enough to shake the country.

In the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty, the vast majority of court officials came from the imperial examinations, and the foundation of the imperial examinations has been completely rotted. The bureaucratic system of the bureaucracy, this towering tree, will sooner or later be emptied.

Li Yongchang, the eunuch of Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, said in a low voice: "Thanks to orthodoxy, it is only 14 years. In a few more years, even the state-owned heroes and virtuous talents, it will be difficult to overthrow the orthodoxy."

Li Yongchang is the admiral of the martial arts hall, and he has been in this position for nine years. He is ranked third after Xing'an and Cheng Jing.

As an eunuch, Li Yongchang had to say something that His Majesty wanted to say but could not.

"It's over, let's look forward." Zhu Qiyu signaled Li Yongchang, who was wearing a red official uniform, not to continue talking. King Jili's half-burned dragon flag was pressed under the glass on the long case, and he clicked it That's fine.

"Your Majesty is wise." Li Yongchang, as His Majesty's eagle dog, immediately shut up.

Yu Qian's face was quite solemn, and he took over the words and said: "It's really ridiculous. I know that the examination room is dark, but I didn't expect it to be so corrupted."

The inner court was blocked by His Majesty's words, and the outer court began to complain again.

Since Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, he has been trying his best to avoid complete negation. After the death of King Jili, Zhu Qiyu did not criticize King Jili too much.

Yu Qian is also avoiding it, but today's incident, even Yu Qian can't hold back, it's extremely absurd, how can it be such a trifling matter for a national event?

He Zhang touched his chin with his left hand and said playfully: "Your Majesty, it's strange to say that the Imperial College is clearly under the control of the Ministry of Rites, but it's very close to the Imperial Academy and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Everything is done by the Hanlin Academy and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The censors of the academy will help."

"It has changed in the past two years. The supervisors of the Imperial College and the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are all frowning, wishing to rush up and take a bite before giving up. They are getting closer to the Imperial Academy."

"Isn't it, Bachelor of Commerce?"

In the past two years, the ethos of the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been changing rapidly. Under the combined efforts of He Zhangen and Wei, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has finally returned to its original appearance. Shout out to the devotees.

He Zhang's anger has been held in his heart for a long time, and today he finally confronted Shang Ren, the No.

Over the years, He Zhang has done a good job in the position of Zuodu censor. He has lived up to His Majesty's expectations and Hu Wei's recommendation. During the holidays, He Zhang will come to thank Hu Wei for his support.

Hu Wei used the example of He Zhang to demonstrate to the emperor what it meant to say that a scholar's heart is darker than ink.

He Zhang has been wronged so much in the position of Zuodu Censor, and even lost his right arm, so he has to be grateful to Hu Wei.

Shang Ren, as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, was scolded by such names, but he couldn't resist, and couldn't say a word, because the facts were on the case.

Liu Ji snorted and said: "Hmph, the Ming Dynasty hall is dark, how can it be dark? The foundation is rotten, how can we ensure the safety of the Ming Dynasty, how can we make the Ming Dynasty hall clear. 2 students, ninety-five percent of them are Bought through middlemen, brokers, and compradors, the world is getting worse, and the rituals and music are collapsing. It’s no wonder it’s not bad, it’s no wonder it’s not bad!”

"Where is the face of a scholar! I don't want any face!"

Hu Wei is just immoral. Relying on his status as an evergreen tree in the Ming Dynasty, his profound knowledge, and his meager contribution to washing the ground for His Majesty, he has disgraced the officials and Hanlin officials in the court for ten years.

Hu Yan finally retreated, and Liu Ji came, this Liu Ji, is shameless, opening his mouth is like a shrew cursing in the street, thanks to being in front of His Majesty, otherwise all kinds of foul language would be unbearable.

Liu Ji scolded loudly, and Shang Ren's expression became even more embarrassing.

Seeing Liu Ji's fierce firepower, Zhu Qiyu said: "Although Liu Ji's words are a bit harsh, the imperial examination for scholars is the foundation of a country in danger. If the root is rotten, the whole Ming Dynasty will be rotten."

Liu Ji has not grown up to the status of Hu Wei, so it is easy to cause accidents. The tradition of "Etiquette is an inconvenience" in the Ministry of Rites still needs Liu Ji to maintain it. As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qiyu is of course willing to give Liu Ji platform.

Shang Ren's face turned even redder. He is Sanyuan Jidi, and he is a Hanlin Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. If he is asked to study "Jingtai Huanyu Tongzhi" and "Jiliwang Shilu", he can still do it, but the gang of Hanlin , he is really limited.

"According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the cheating stick in the imperial examination is thirty, three thousand miles away, not returning for nine years, and not being an official for three generations. I think that although the supervisors of the Guozijian are not Enke, they still need to be punished for cheating in the imperial examination." Yu Shiyue took the lead in expressing his opinion.

The superintendents of Guozijian are different from the superintendents of Daming prefectures and counties. The superintendents do not have as much influence in politics as superintendents.

"What does Yu Shaobao think?" Zhu Qiyu was noncommittal about the exile for three thousand miles, and asked Yu Qian's opinion. After all, Yu Qian, as the head of all the officials of the Ming Dynasty and the actual prime minister, his opinion needs to be referred to.

Yu Qian pondered for a moment before he said, "Let's go overseas for three thousand miles."

"Yu Shaobao, don't be soft-hearted...and go overseas?!" Zhu Qiyu swallowed half of what he said, and he just wanted to send this group of supervisors to the Liaodong factory to face the vicious slave-building robbers. They also taste the hard work and do things down-to-earth.

Yu Qian went overseas directly.

Where overseas?
In Daming's eyes, it was a barren land,
For this group of delicate-skinned and tender-skinned supervisors, it is better to go to Yongning Temple or go fishing at the end of Heishui (Heilongjiang) than to go overseas.

In Daming, going abroad means depriving the identity of Daming people, and from then on, they become barbarians.

When Yu Qian heard His Majesty say that he was soft-hearted, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, more than [-] people have been killed, which really damages His Majesty's reputation. I still think it is more appropriate to go overseas."

"I originally planned to send them to the Liaodong factory..." Zhu Qiyu was silent for a while, but still told his decision, he still listened to Yu Qian's reasons.

Yu Qian shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, even if such a group of uncles are sent to the Liaodong factory, the Liaodong factory will not want them. The official factory is busy, so how can I have the spare time to serve such a group of uncles? I still think it is appropriate to go overseas."

When Yu Qian heard His Majesty's decision, he still insisted on his opinion. He is the head of all officials, and his opinion not only considered persuading Renshu, but also considered the Ming Dynasty's national system.

He continued: "Since your Majesty ascended the throne, both land and sea have been developed. Since the opening of the sea, Wang Hua has never been heard of in the land of Liuhe and Bahuang. With so many supervisors, they can go to the land of Liuhe and Bahuang to teach Wang Hua, and they can also perform crimes and make meritorious deeds. Let’s join in the grand opening of the sea.”

Behind the nearly [-] supervising students are [-] wealthy households. It is not cheap to deal with middlemen, brokers, and compradors. Those who are sent to the north and south are obviously the eldest sons of the family. will be more solid.

"Good, what do you think?" Zhu Qiyu could only say after hearing this that Yu Qian was also a scholar, and he was on par with Hu Wei in the matter of killing without blood.

In the past, Hu Min was always a black-hearted person, but now that Hu Min has retired, Zhu Qiyu found that people are divided into groups by like clusters, and everyone is a black-hearted person.

"Living overseas?" Shang Ren asked tremblingly.
