Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 563 The Intention of Emperor Chongzhen

When everyone saw it, they all stretched out their heads to look at the copied list, and, at first glance, they must have looked at the number one name.

Sure enough, in the women's department, the first ones all had the same name: Aimee Zhu.

"Huh?" Xia Huiji said in surprise when she saw it, "Sister, isn't your name correct?"

Hearing this, Xia Wanchun couldn't help turning his head to look at her: Why are you so stupid, there is no girl with the right name, and now this is her real name!

Aunt Zhu also saw it clearly, and she was very surprised and said: "What's going on, I'll ask, why did you let me be on the list again?"

After she finished speaking, she stood up and was about to leave.

When Zhu Cihong saw it, he also stood up and said: "Let's go together, I want to hear it too. Otherwise, why did you let you go to the scientific examination alone?"

It was unprecedented for princes and princesses to participate in the scientific examination. For this group of young people, it was a rare and fun thing.

Although Zhu Cihong was the crown prince and under the guidance of Queen Zhou, it was impossible for him to go to the scientific examination.However, there are other younger brothers and sisters who have actually had opinions.Therefore, Zhu Cihong wanted to hear the reason why his father changed his mind and made Auntie Zhu's name on the list.Doesn't this let everyone in the world know that Princess Kunxing has also participated in the scientific examination!

Seeing that they both stood up, as if they were about to go back, Xia Wanchun became anxious immediately, and quickly asked Aimi Zhu, "That... can we discuss Gewuxue together in the future?"

Earlier, the reason the two discussed together was to prepare for the special examination of Geology and Physics.

Now that the exam is over, there is no such reason, which makes Xia Wanchun a little anxious, not to mention that she will never see Aimee Zhu again.

When Xia Huiji heard this, she rolled her eyes and said to Aimi Zhu, "Yes, sister, I feel very close to my sister when I see her. Will I never see my sister again?"

When Aimee Zhu heard what they said, she glanced at Xia Wanchun, her face flushed a little, and then turned to look at his brother.

Seeing this, Zhu Cihong laughed immediately, then looked at Xia Wanchun and asked, "You really like my sister, do you want to go with my sister in Gewuxue?"

Such a straightforward question made Xia Wanchun blush.But he is a smart guy and knows that this answer is very important.

So, he looked at Aimee Zhu, then nodded seriously and said, "Yes."

You could tell from his tone that he was determined.

Hearing this, Zhu Cihong smiled immediately, and then said to Xia Wanchun: "Okay, then wait for the news!"

After speaking, he strode out.

Auntie Zhu took a deep look at Xia Wanchun, with a trace of shyness on her face, but she didn't say anything, and followed his brother away.

Seeing this, Xia Wanchun couldn't help being anxious. It's just this sentence, what else?

Seeing that Aimee Zhu and Zhu Cihong were about to leave the private room, he hurriedly asked, "Where is the residence? Xiaosheng will come to visit another day!"

As long as you know where you live, it will be easier to handle.Even if Aimee Zhu doesn't come to him, he can still go to Aimee Zhu.Well, let the elder sister or younger sister take him there.

Zhu Cihong didn't stop when he heard the question, but just replied as he walked, "In the palace!"

After finishing speaking, he and Aimee Zhu had already walked out of the private room and disappeared from the sight of everyone in the room.

Xia Wanchun couldn't understand what he heard, and immediately became anxious, and quickly asked, "Which street is it? What's the house number?"

As soon as he asked this, the maids who were following out in a file suddenly bumped into each other.

Afterwards, the maids stabilized quickly and hurried out.

But the last maid, that is, one of the maids who followed Zhu Yuxi these few days turned her head, with a smile on her face, and said to Xia Wanchun in a low voice: "Idiot, the palace is the palace, which street can I go?"

After finishing speaking, she stopped caring about the people inside and hurried out.

Hearing this, the businessman Xia Wanchun who stayed inside was suddenly struck by lightning, and he was completely dumbfounded.

This time, all three of them came back to their senses.

A palace is a palace, where else could it be?

That is to say, Aimee Zhu and Zhu Cihong are from the Forbidden City.

With their appearance, they are definitely not palace maids or servants, so there is only one possibility: they must be the prince and princess!

Thinking that Aimee Zhu is the princess, Zhu Cihong is the prince, and the three of them, they are so dumbfounded, so dumbfounded!
Even if they judged from Aimee Zhu's usual behavior and attendants, they felt that Aimee Zhu must be either rich or expensive, but they never thought that Aimee Zhu would be a princess!

I don't know how long it took, Xia Shuji, who was the oldest and experienced the most, came back to her senses first, and immediately murmured to herself: "No wonder, no wonder, that's how it is, that's why it makes sense!"

Speaking of this, she speculated based on the existing information: "Since she is a princess, according to her age, she should be Princess Kunxing, and yes, she should be Princess Kunxing!"

If the children of Emperor Chongzhen were to be enshrined again, it would naturally be announced to the world.But it will not be announced to the world, so that everyone in the world will know what the princess is called.

Hearing her guess, Xia Huiji came back to her senses, and immediately asked her eldest sister, "Which prince is Princess Kunxing's elder brother?"

Princess Kunxing has a title, and the prince who is older than Princess Kunxing must also have a title.

Hearing her question, Xia Shuji was taken aback just thinking about it, and stammered a little: "Yes...it's the prince!"

"Ah?" Hearing this, Xia Wanchun and Xia Huiji were both dumbfounded, a little unbelievable, "Impossible?"

You know, if the prince may not be very noble, then the prince is definitely one of the most noble people in the world.This is the future Emperor of Ming Dynasty!

Seeing the expressions of her younger siblings, Xia Shuji said affirmatively, "The only elder brother above Princess Kunxing is the prince!"

"..." Hearing this, Xia Wanchun and Xia Huiji were shocked again.

The one who talked to me just now turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

A few people in the Ming Dynasty were lucky enough to meet the crown prince, but they actually saw it, and even sat down and chatted!

Thinking about it this way, it feels very unreal!

By the way, there is also Princess Kunxing, who has been discussing with them the knowledge of Gewuxue for the past few days. Thinking about it now, it is also very unreal!
........................

Not to mention how surprised the three of them were, let's just say that Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yuxi returned to the palace and soon saw Emperor Chongzhen who was handling government affairs.

"Are you back?" Emperor Chongzhen saw the two people entering the palace, looked at Aimee Zhu, and said with a smile, "You girl, you are really giving me a problem!"

As soon as she asked for an audience, she was summoned, and Zhu Wei knew that her father had something to say.After hearing this, she smiled mischievously, and then asked: "Then why did the father let his daughter be on the list?"

Zhu Cihong didn't dare to speak at the side, but just listened.

Because he knows that his father has stricter requirements on him, and he is more doting on his sister, so he is easy to talk to.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and pointed at Aimee Zhu, and then replied: "I will not give you any official salary if you pass the special examination of Gephysics, but you are only eligible to study at the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty. Including you, the number one scholar." , it’s just having such a title, and there is no real benefit. If this is the case, why can’t my daughter announce the actual results?”

After hearing this, Zhu Cihong couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully.

This Gephysics special examination is indeed different from ordinary imperial examinations, and the emperor did not conflict with the previous practice.

The clan's participation in the imperial examination is actually very sensitive.In the past, it was definitely not possible.

However, with the huge population of the clan, the imperial court was unable to pay so much salary, so that some clans with low-ranking titles were completely burdened by the clan relationship, and their lives were worse than ordinary people.

Because the low-level clans didn't have much money, and they were not allowed to do anything, and the court didn't pay them any salary, except for begging, they really starved to death.

Therefore, starting from Jiajing, in order to change the situation of the clan, and also because the imperial court could not afford the salary, the clan policy was changed, allowing low-level clans to participate in the imperial examination to become officials.They also turned a blind eye to doing business and working to make money.

However, these are only clans with low-level titles, and high-ranking clans such as vassal kings and county kings still have many restrictions.You can't lead troops to fight, and you can't take part in the imperial examination to be an official.

The level of princes and princesses is the same level as that of vassal kings. It is absolutely not allowed to participate in ordinary imperial examinations, at least the current Ming law does not allow it.

However, Gewuxue turned to scientific examinations, but there is no such restriction. This can also be reflected in the treatment after passing the scientific examinations, and it can also make people speechless.

At this time, Zhu Cihong was thinking about the relationship, but Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "Besides, I announced you on the list, just to explain to the world that if you want to enter the Royal Academy of Sciences of Ming Dynasty, even if it is my Daughter, and son, they also have to pass the special examination of Gephysics! This way, it can also reflect the meaning of justice!"

Princes and princesses are like this, let alone civil and military officials. If you want to enter the Royal Academy of Sciences of Ming Dynasty, you must take the special science examination of Gephysics!
However, Emperor Chongzhen had this idea entirely because he remembered what Liu Weichao said about the college entrance examination for later generations. After passing the entrance examination, he went to university, and then such undergraduates, postgraduates, doctorates, etc., seemed to make sense.

Therefore, with a sudden inspiration, Emperor Chongzhen decided to let Aimee Zhu be on the list truthfully.

After talking about this matter, Emperor Chongzhen thought of something, so he asked Aimee Zhu and said, "You are old now, and the marriage can't be delayed any longer. The special scientific examination of Gephysics has also ended, but is there anyone he likes? If not, then I I'll leave it up to you!"
