Jinyi champion

Chapter 780
The palace test is over.

This time it wasn't Zhu Hao who set the question, and he didn't participate in marking the papers either.

But now Liu Chun, who is a cabinet scholar, is one of the examiners of the palace examination.

As the emperor, Zhu Si's task was only to determine who won the top of the tripod, and there was no need for him to personally review and mark the papers. This was quite different from his attitude towards almost everything in the palace examination when he first came to the throne.

But Yang Tinghe and others were also happy that the emperor did not interfere with the marking of the palace examination, which greatly reduced their burden.

On the second day after the palace examination, Zhu Si went out of the palace to meet Zhu Hao.

"...I asked you earlier, but you didn't go into details. Among this group of new scholars, who is more famous? Who can be used by me?" Zhu Si was full of anticipation. In fact, he still wanted to win over some disciples of the Son of Heaven. available to him.

But the problem is that Yang Tinghe is in charge of this session from the general examination to the palace examination. The Jinshi admitted in this batch, just like the previous one, cannot be completely trusted by Zhu Si.

Zhu Hao shrugged, shook his head and said, "I don't know these people well..."

Zhang Zuo on the side was slightly relieved after hearing this.

Sure enough, there were things Zhu Hao didn't understand!
If Zhu Hao knew everything, it would be fatal.

Immediately Zhu Hao said: "However, I heard that a young man named Xu Jie has good talents and studies. Maybe he can be entrusted with important tasks in the future."

"Xu Jie? Who is it?"

Zhu Si looked puzzled.

Zhu Hao smiled, it was difficult for Zhu Hao to explain Xu Jie's origin.

Historically, Xu Jie had a good reputation, mainly because he overthrew the powerful minister Yan Song, but is Xu Jie really the kind of minister known for his integrity?

It seems not necessarily!

You must know that Xu Jie also has a way of using Qing Ci to please Zhu Houcong. This person is very good at catering to his superiors, and his speech is tactful. Up and down are clear and bright, while Xu Jie lives in an era when the monarch and his ministers are all doing wrong.

Times make heroes, Xu Jie brought Yan Song down, he is a hero.

When Xu Jie served as a cabinet minister and even as the first assistant, clansmen ran rampant in the village. The Xu family occupied an area of ​​up to 24 mu. As "power rape", it can be seen that good and evil are just a thought, and history is written by the victors.

The current Xu Jie is only about 20 years old. He is in the prime of his life, and his personality has not yet been fully formed. Zhu Hao thinks that he may consider taking him over for his own use.

"The one named Yao Lai must not be used, right? He seems to be someone with the surname Yang." Zhu Si asked with lingering fear when he suddenly thought of the storm in the exam.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "When this group of Jinshi enters the court, at the beginning, they may rely on Mr. Yang Ge for certain things, but after Mr. Yang Ge retires and his party members withdraw from the court, the attitude of those people is no longer important. After all, they are His Majesty's courtiers, not Yang Tinghe's."

"Hey, I love to hear that. They are all my subjects, even the one named Yang!" Zhu Si said happily.

Probably because he thought that in Zhu Hao's plan, Yang Tinghe was almost at the end of his rope, and thinking that Yang Tinghe's restraint would be lost in the future, he couldn't help laughing.

Zhu Haodao: "At the end of the palace examination, let Mr. Yang Ge and others fill in the list. There is no need for Your Majesty to pay too much attention to this matter. No matter who wins the first prize and who wins the top prize, His Majesty just need to be calm."

"Row."

Zhu Si readily agreed, "I didn't want to ask about those bad things. Being an emperor is really tiring, and I have endless worries every day. It's more interesting to come out to talk to you and play together. Is there a new play coming out today? ? I’m just waiting to see the show.”

……

……

After dark.

Originally Zhu Hao wanted Zhu Si to review the memorials with him, but Zhu Si went to the theater regardless of court affairs.

It's rare that Zhu Hao is still helping him in the capital as before. Zhu Si belongs to "sneaking in" and finally doesn't have to worry about the affairs of the court every day.

Wait for Zhu Hao to write him a note every morning, and act according to the note.

Zhang Zuo did not have such a good life as Zhu Si.

That night, he was going to review the memorials with Zhu Hao. Those less important memorials were basically handed over to him, and the people who assisted him were supposed to be Huang Jin and other eunuchs who were in charge of ceremonies. If it is kept secret, it cannot be publicized even to the people in the palace, so it can only be screened by Zhang Zuo himself, and he decides which one Zhu Hao will review and which one will be approved by Zhu himself.

"It's a pity that Mr. Tang is not here."

Zhang Zuo was busy for a long time, so he couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Zuo is different from ordinary eunuchs who pursue fame and fortune. He belongs to the kind of person who acts cautiously. However, any important memorials should be shown to Zhu Hao first. Only Zhu Hao said that this reply was approved according to the opinions of the cabinet. Zhang Zuo will start writing.

And if Tang Yin is here to help sort out, he will directly follow his opinion, which one is for Zhu Hao and which one is for Zhang Zuo, and there is basically no nonsense.

Zhu Hao said: "I have sent someone to inform Mr. Tang tonight. I don't know if he will come or not. Speaking of which, I haven't seen him recently. I don't know if he is in good health."

"Maybe... sick."

Zhang Zuo said something suddenly.

Zhu Hao was about to dip his pen in the cinnabar ink, but he couldn't help but look up at Zhang Zuo, and asked anxiously, "When did it happen?"

Zhang Zuo didn't expect Zhu Hao to have such a big reaction, so he said hastily, "I heard from Jin Yiwei, who was sent to take care of him, that I've been feeling cold for a few days, and I'm seeking medical advice. Some days are sunny, but in a blink of an eye, it is raining and snowing, and it is easy to get sick. It should be fine."

Zhu Hao nodded.

If it was just a cold infection, generally speaking, it would not kill Tang Yin.

The reason why he cared about Tang Yin's current situation was mainly because Tang Yin in history was about to burp before the end of the year. Judging from the life, old age, sickness and death that Zhu Hao experienced around him when he came to this world, only sudden illness could be avoided. It may be too late to make up for it after the onset of illness.

The biggest problem at the moment is that Zhu Hao doesn't even know what disease Tang Yin died of in history.

Because Tang Yin was impoverished before he died, and he was still a Buddhist at that time, he had no money to treat him when he was sick, he was suffering from hunger and cold, and maybe a little illness could kill him.

Although Tang Yin is rich and honored in this life, his body is still the same, his alcoholism is still there, he is usually free and unrestrained, and it is impossible to die due to poverty and illness, but in case of some fatal illness... It is estimated that Zhu Hao will die before the end of the year It's going to be a funeral for Tang Yin.

After getting acquainted, Tang Yin himself was only over 50 years old, a young man who looked very energetic, Zhu Hao regarded him as a close friend, and Zhu Hao still felt unwilling to send him to the grave according to the historical development.

"When he comes, it's time to ask him."

Zhu Hao said, "He is already old, it is more important to take care of his body."

Zhang Zuo had a weird expression.

It seems to be saying, is he old?

About the same as me?

Why is it important for him to maintain his body, but not for me?
……

……

Tang Yin didn't come that night.

Zhu Hao had no choice but to consider visiting the doctor.

The morning is the day when the palace examination results are released, and the Hanlin courtyard is very lively, because who will enter the hall will be determined that day, and according to the general reasoning, it will also be determined which nobles will leave the hall that year, although Zhu Hao This batch of Jinshi has only been in the Imperial Academy for two years, but in fact the three-year cycle has ended.

This is also the reason why Yang Shen was promoted to attendant lecturer before.

Only when Yang Shen becomes a lecturer, will he not be included in the next batch of release lists, which means that Yang Shen has the iron rice bowl of the Imperial Academy.

As for Zhu Hao's compilation, generally speaking, he would wait six years before releasing it to the public, and some would wait nine years to get a chance to be promoted to attendant reading or lecturer in the Imperial Academy.

On the other hand, if those Shuji people couldn't be selected as editors, and the editors couldn't be promoted to Xiuzhuan, they would basically be transferred to the six ministries or localities.

Zhu Hao prepared to leave the Imperial Academy early in the morning.

He didn't intend to go to see the results of the palace examination, but planned to visit Tang Yin. As Tang Yin's disciple, he occasionally visited Tang Yin's mansion, and he wasn't worried about Yang Shen and the others having any opinions.

But that morning, Yang Shen's arrival blocked Zhu Hao's visit.

"...The results of the imperial examination have come out. The No. [-] Scholar is Yao Lai, the son of Yao Mo, former minister of the Ministry of War." Yang Shen said to Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao nodded.

This is no different from history.

It seems that Yao Lai's knowledge is really good.

Yang Shen said again: "It's just the second place and Tanhua, one named Xu Jie and the other named Wang Jiao, both of whom were at the bottom of the exam, but for some reason they were selected as Dingjia...I'm afraid it will attract criticism."

"Ok?"

Zhu Hao pretended to be surprised.

Historically, in the second year of Jiajing's reign, the top three were Yao Lai, the No. [-] scholar, Wang Jiao, and Tanhua Xu Jie.

But because Zhu Hao mentioned Xu Jie to Zhu Si yesterday, I don't know if Zhu Si really did something today. Anyway, Xu Jie advanced to the second place, and Tan Hua became Wang Jiao.

In the general examination, Wang will be the No. 20 four, and Xu Jie will be the first.

Li Shunchen, No. 1 in the general examination and outstanding talent, did not even pass the imperial examination, and only ranked first in the second class. However, Yang Shen and Li Sunchen had a friendship, which made Yang Shen very surprised. Angry.

Yang Shendao: "But I don't know what talents Xu Jie and Wang Jiao have, really..."

Zhu Hao asked with a smile: "During the palace examination two days ago, did Brother Yongxiu pay attention to them?"

The palace examination is the last threshold of the imperial examination. Zhu Hao did not participate in the supervision of the field as a editor, but Yang Shen went every time. At the time of Zhu Hao, Yang Shen had paid attention to Zhu Hao, a young man. Hao became the number one scholar, and gradually became acquainted with Yang Shen.

"How did you pay attention to them at that time?"

Yang Shen was also very sorry.

There are so many people in the palace examination, of course he only pays attention to the top few in the palace examination. Yao Lai is not bad, but Xu Jie and Wang Jiao are both in the palace examination. people.

Entering the Dingjia means entering the Hanlin Academy, and you don't even need to take the selection exam for Shujishi to have the title of Hanlin origin.

This is the passport to enter the court as the prime minister in the future, so many people can't wait for it.
