Chapter 545 Gengchen Chunwei ([-])
Countless people were waiting for the imperial court to announce the chief and deputy examiners of this Gengchen Examination, and Zhu Yijun, the only son of the Ming Dynasty who had the legal right to make decisions about this, was also caught in a tangle these days.

Zhu Yijun's entanglement actually started with the addition of cabinet ministers not long ago.This time, the addition of cabinet ministers was finally confirmed to be Yu Youding and Xu Guo.In terms of schools of thought, Yu Youding is an obvious line of mind-learning. Xu Guo didn't have much academic inclination at first, but because he is a student of Gao Gong, he must belong to the school of practical learning in the eyes of the outside world.

In this way, after the addition of the cabinet, the comparison between practical learning and mental learning has changed from the previous two to one to the current three to two.

But there are some things that cannot be just looked at by "data", because there are many people who come from the line of mind studies, and not everyone acts according to the current trend of retreat in mind studies. For example, Zhang Juzheng in history, his benefactor is still Xu Jie, Doesn't he still manage politics in accordance with the ideas of practical learning?

Yu Youding is actually a person born in psychology, but he does not have much political inclination.In fact, before he entered the cabinet, it was not easy for him to have an inclination, because he was a Jinshi in the 41st year of Jiajing, and the first three in this subject were Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, and Yu Youding, all of whom were admitted by the then chief examiner Yuan Wei wins.And Yuan Wei, the famous "Prime Minister of Qingci", died in Jiajing 44, so these three first-class Jinshi were quite isolated and helpless in the court. To a certain extent, the three of them had no choice but to report to the group to keep warm.

However, it is not perfect to report to the group to keep warm. Liu Guanzhang has to have a big brother.

Wang Xijue, as the second place in the list, was from a well-known Wang family in Taiyuan, and his family was a wealthy family in Taicang. In addition, he also had a younger brother named Wang Dingjue, who was a Jinshi in the second year of Longqing (also a top student, fifth in the general examination and ninth in the palace examination).

In fact, this is not over. In history, Wang Heng, the son of Wang Xijue, will be able to take the second place in the general examination and the second place in the palace examination in the future, thus achieving the reputation of the Wang family as "three scholars in one school, father and son in the second place" - Li Xunhuan and his son in Gu Long's novel "Three jinshi in one school, two jinshi in father and son" may be born out of this.

It's okay for one person to be a top student, but it's too good for a family to be a top student, so it's okay for Wang Xijue to be the second brother.

As a result, Yu Youding had no choice but to consciously regard himself as the younger brother among the three, but the problem was that among the three of them, Yu Youding was actually the oldest, eight years older than Wang Xijue, and Wang Xijue was older than Wang Xijue. Shen Shixing is one year older.In this case, Yu Youding naturally showed the most generosity.

In the officialdom, the main manifestation of generosity is not to fight. Yu Youding doesn't fight for anything. He does what the court entrusts him with. He is honest and well-behaved, but he is not very aggressive.Gao Gong was relatively indifferent to people with a personality like Yu Youding. He could neither be reused and promoted nor deliberately suppressed, but when Guo Pu took over as the chief assistant, he liked such people, so Yu Youding was promoted all the way to The left servant of the Ministry of officials.

A student of Xinxue, but being promoted to such a prominent position by the chief assistant of Shixue, will certainly arouse suspicion, so although Yu Youding insists on showing himself as a disciple of Xinxue, his position in the lineage of Xinxue is indeed a bit embarrassing, so In many cases, he can only downplay his political attitude and try to deal with things as fairly as possible.

Based on this calculation, there are actually some problems with the three-to-two ratio in the cabinet. On the surface, it must be three to two, but how effective it will be...no one can say for sure.

The reason why Zhu Yijun's entanglement started with the addition of cabinet ministers was because Zhu Yijun originally planned to let Zhang Siwei preside over the current Chunwei. After all, Guo Pu has presided over several sessions of the conference. [-]D is here.

Surprisingly, however, Zhang Siwei refused, on the grounds that his nephew Gao Wushi also took the exam this time, and he wanted to avoid suspicion.Zhu Yijun was very annoyed by this - I just want you to win your nephew, what kind of suspicion are you avoiding!

But Zhang Siwei refused, and Zhu Yijun couldn't do anything about it. In theory, he hadn't been in power yet. After all, the country's operation is actually supported by the cabinet.Guo Pu was not suitable, and Zhang Siwei refused, so the chief examiner could only choose one of the other three elders.

It stands to reason that this should not be picked. Shen Shixing has been in the cabinet for several years. It is a matter of course to let him preside over the meeting this time. More familiar, what if he just refuses to be pragmatic?This is the talent of Wang Zuo left to me by the late emperor!
If Gao Yushi passed the general examination but did not rank well, then there is no problem. Zhu Yijun can completely adjust his ranking after the palace examination;

But if you don't use Shishixing, what about using Yu Youding?Seems to be about the same.

In Zhu Yijun's view, no one dares to guarantee Yu Youding's political ideas. He comes from psychology and may be inclined to articles in the style of psychology; The face of a benevolent prime minister is taken by his student Gao Pragmatism.

In short, Zhu Yijun felt a little unsafe in his heart.

As for Xu Guo, if he serves as the chief examiner of the general examination, he must be the most likely to be a middle-level and high-level practitioner.After all, Xu Guo is a student of Gao Gong, and he has known Gao Yushi for many years, and he is also a lecturer himself, so he is also kind to teach Gao Yushi.

Of course, this seniority is not easy to discuss, because from the perspective of Gao Gong's relationship, Xu Guo's most formal address for Gao Yushi should be Gao Yushi's "Brother"-this is the official address for the disciples of the teacher, no By age.They are usually referred to as brothers and sisters, but they can only be regarded as nicknames. After all, Xu Guo is 54 years old this year, and Gao Yushi is only [-] years old. Let Xu Guo call Gao Yushi "Senior Brother", this... is really a little embarrassing .

But let Xu Guo be the chief examiner, although there is no problem in terms of qualifications and background, but this kind of no problem is a big problem in itself-what if Xu Guo also refuses?Also to avoid suspicion?
Zhu Yijun considered: Even if he doesn't refuse or avoid suspicion, what if he feels regretful in the future and feels that he has come as a Jinshi in a wrong way?Didn't I do something bad with good intentions?

So Zhu Yijun procrastinated and procrastinated, and finally he couldn't make up his mind, so he had to invite Guo Pu here and ask Guo Pu what his opinion was.

Who knew that Guo Pu's answer was very decisive: "Shen Yaoquan was born as the No. [-] Scholar, and he is an elder in the court. Since the veteran and Zhang Fengpan can't avoid suspicion, then Shen Yaoquan should be the examiner. Please trust the cabinet and believe that Shen Yaoquan can be the examiner fairly."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yijun couldn't help hesitating, because Guo Pu said he wanted him to "trust the cabinet", so Zhu Yijun had no choice but to nod, and then asked the deputy chief examiner who was suitable.

In fact, this question is a routine matter, because after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, generally speaking, an elder was the main examiner, and the Minister of Rites was the deputy examiner, so Guo Pu didn't think too much about it, and answered directly: "Shangshu Pan Sheng of the Ministry of Rites, Looking at each other, I can be the deputy chief examiner for political equality."

Guo Pu's evaluation of Pan Sheng was basically in line with Zhu Yijun's opinion. Pan Sheng was a bit arrogant when he was young, but later he became more stable when he got older, and generally he would not do anything out of the ordinary.

On the [-]th day of the first month, the chief and deputy examiners of the examination announced that the chief examiners were Prince Taibao and Shen Shixing, a scholar of the Wuyingdian University; the deputy chief examiners were Prince Shaobao and Minister of Rites Pan Sheng.

Gengchen Chunwei has finally entered the final stage. People from all over the world gathered in the capital, young and old, are about to gather in the capital's tribute courtyard to compete in the same arena.
