Daming: Me!The auspicious beast unicorn of the old Zhu family

Chapter 126 Comrade Zhu's Fishing Law Enforcement!Sanyuan and Wu Bozong!
"Bo Zong, although what you said is reasonable, but you didn't buy it just because everyone else bought it. If you suffer a loss on this point and lose the ranking, wouldn't that be unfair?"

"You also said, ten years of cold windows, is it because of a few hundred taels of silver that you lost your reputation?"

The grinning young man raised his eyebrows with an awkward expression.

The young man who was called Bo Zong laughed, "Look, do you feel that something is wrong when you say this yourself?"

"You and I studied hard for ten years, for what?"

"The purpose is to lead by example and benefit the common people!"

"If you and I have joined forces with greed and bribery before becoming officials, then even if we pass the exam, we will be just corrupt officials in the future! Dog officials!"

"Yan Qing, have you forgotten how Ming Yang died?!"

Hearing this, the young man named Yan Qing froze, and his expression quickly dimmed: "Of course I remember. It's because of those corrupt officials."

"But Bo Zong, I have already paid the money."

The young man named Bo Zong resumed his faint smile and replied: "No problem, your family is still well-off, so you should buy yourself a security."

"My family is different. This money is earned by my parents' hard work all their lives. If it is used for this, it will dirty the hard-earned money of my parents."

"When an official does not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes!"

"I, Wu Bozong, must rely on my own knowledge to be named on the gold list!"

The two young men walked and chatted like this, completely oblivious to the fact that on the side of the road they were walking, two very ordinary little mice followed them all the time.

that night.

In Comrade Zhu's study.

"Okay! What a good official who doesn't make decisions for the people, why not go home and sell sweet potatoes!"

"This kid named Wu Bozong deserves to be commended for his ambition!"

Comrade Zhu is sitting on a chair. , Flipping through the information recently submitted by Jin Yiwei in his hand, his face suddenly became joyful, this period of time is full of bad things, I haven't seen him smile like this for a long time.

Even Queen Ma, who is the pillow person.

All felt a burst of surprise.

My husband has not been this happy for a long time.

However, even if Wu Bozong and Xu Yanqing were killed, they would never have imagined that it was just a chat on the side of the road, and it would be passed on to the emperor of the Ming Empire clearly.
This is the credit of the commander and fellow, the Western Rat Overlord Tucci.

Even the sword master Changhong, who has always been taciturn, couldn't help but say: "Indeed, if every official in Daming is like this Wu family boy, even if His Majesty does nothing, I believe Daming will flourish and prosper."

Speaking of Wu Bozong, he was also the first imperial examination champion with real talents and learning in the Ming Dynasty.

Ming Dynasty from beginning to end.

A total of 90 imperial examinations were held, with a total of 90 champions.

Even among the 90 champions, Wu Bozong can be regarded as one of the best.

Wu Bozong, named You, is a native of Jinxi. He is the first "three yuan Jidi" in the Ming Dynasty.

What is "Sanyuanjidi"?
In the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty, if one wanted to become the number one scholar, one had to pass the courtyard examination, the township examination, the general examination and the palace examination respectively.

Among them, the first-level hospital examination is organized by the state and county. After passing the pass, one becomes a "scholar".

The next level, the "township examination", is similar to the provincial examination. After passing it, one becomes a "juren".

The next higher level is the "General Examination", which is a national-level examination. If you can pass it, you are eligible to take the palace examination and become the top three.

There are only three people in Yijia.

It is called "Jinshi Jidi", which is the well-known "No. [-] Scholar", "No. [-]" and "Tanhua".

There are several people in the second and third grades.

They are respectively called "Giving Jinshi's background" and "Giving Tong Jinshi's background".

The great thing about Wu Bozong is that he got the first place in the three examinations of the township examination, general examination and palace examination!

The first in the township examination is called "Jieyuan"; the first in the general examination is called "Huiyuan"; and the first in the palace examination is the well-known "No.

Wu Bozong ranked first in all three tests.

It is the first "three yuan and first" in the Ming Dynasty!
If this is the case, it can only prove that Wu Bozong is a good reader. The rare thing is that after Wu Bozong was called the number one scholar, he was asked by Hongwu Emperor Ming Taizu, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang, who gave him a crown, a robe and a wat, and a member of the Ministry of Rites.

Later, he also participated in the revision of the "Daming Calendar" and the biographies of concubines and heroes, and refused to be recruited by Hu Weiyong when he was in power, reprimanding Hu Weiyong for being domineering and not abiding by the law.

Going to Annan as an envoy, fulfilling the mission; becoming an assistant teacher of the prince, and entering the East Palace to give lectures to the prince.
Wu Bozong has made remarkable achievements in his life, and he is a well-deserved pillar of the Ming Dynasty.

And Wu Bozong and some subsequent talents who passed the imperial examinations have proved that the imperial examinations played an important role in the Ming Dynasty.
This is why Zhu Yuanzhang worked so hard for the imperial examination.

Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief: "For this first imperial examination, we put a lot of things on hold. I hope we can have a good result."

Sword Master Changhong responded: "Your Majesty has worked so hard for the future succession of the crown prince. God rewards hard work. I believe that Daming will be even better if the crown prince succeeds."

In fact, who is the emperor and how long he has been in it has nothing to do with the sword master Changhong. It's just that it's not easy to watch Zhu Yuanzhang's hardships all the way. I was thinking so hard about the future of Daming, I couldn't help but feel soft and comforted.

This can be regarded as the only weakness of Juggernaut Changhong, otherwise, why would he make an exception and accept little Zhu Di as a student because of Zhu Yuanzhang's thick skin?

It turned out that in order to be able to set a good example in the first imperial examination, and also to find out those students and officials who were full of crooked minds in the first imperial examination, so that the Ming imperial examination would not be polluted, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Tu Qi to Seventy to eighty percent of his [-] younger brothers were recalled, and every candidate and official who participated in the imperial examination was under surveillance!
It is no exaggeration to say that even if he was only inspecting the old men and women sweeping the floor, Zhu Yuanzhang arranged for them a small follower
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, the imperial examination is the most important and main way for Ming to select talents. Therefore, as long as the imperial examination is caught to death, the Ming Dynasty will have more and more talents in the future, and the Ming Dynasty will become more and more talented. more stable.

Of course, at the same time, we can also find out another batch of corrupt and bribery officials, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?
Thinking of those corrupt black sheep, Zhu Yuanzhang became very angry.

"These bastards actually use the imperial examinations to make money so blatantly. It seems that my old Zhu's methods have not frightened them."

"This time, we must make them regret it!"

At the same time, in a remote house in the capital, a group of people were gathering to eat and drink.

"A candidate's minimum is 100 taels, and the maximum is thousands of taels. If there are tens of thousands of candidates, that's tens of millions of taels!"

"Cut! Ten million taels are not yours alone. The people above scrape this one and that one. When it is in our hands, if there is a hundred or so taels, thank God!"

"Why? Don't you look down on hundreds of taels? We alone won't be able to earn 100 taels in a few years! Besides, this imperial examination will be held every few years. As long as our brothers do it well, the above If you can trust people, isn’t that what you have to eat every year? Just be content with it!”

"."

These people who eat, drink and chat are all dressed in the same clothes, they are the "black military uniforms" who collect money in every attic during the day!
After a while of drinking and drinking and eating and drinking, these "black military uniforms" dispersed, and only one person stayed.

After the sound of footsteps outside the courtyard completely disappeared, a figure wearing a mask came out from the side room. He also sat at the dining table, picked up chopsticks, and put a mouthful of leftovers into his mouth.

"My lord!" The remaining "black military uniform" hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hands: "If your lord is hungry, I'll go and get some clean new food and drinks!"

"No need!" The mysterious masked man replied in a deep voice: "Look at you, it's okay to eat and drink too much, and don't eat clean."

"Do you know how many people starved to death in Shandong due to insufficient food a few days ago?!"

"I really don't know how to be grateful. What should I hand in?"

Hearing this, the "black military uniform" immediately handed a wooden box beside him to the mysterious masked man, and said respectfully: "My lord, the bank notes and ledgers are here. There is a lot of food and drink expenses!"

"Hmph." The mysterious masked man sneered disdainfully: "Is it really a lot of money?"

Hearing the question from the mysterious masked man, the "black military suit" suddenly became a little nervous, and began to stutter: "Seriously."

"Bold!" The mysterious masked man suddenly shouted violently: "You kid obviously hid 50 taels in your arms, do you really think I'm so easy to fool you?!"

Being pierced by the mysterious masked man, the black military uniform immediately knelt down on the ground and replied tremblingly: "My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!"

"My mother is seriously ill and urgently needs money to grab some good medicine. The young one is really helpless, I"

"Okay, okay." The mysterious masked man waved his hand impatiently and said, "I know everything."

"I didn't say I'm going to kill you, but I just want you to stop pretending to be smart, as long as you work honestly for me, the benefits will be indispensable to you."

"get out!"

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!" The "black military uniform" immediately kowtowed a few times as if he was about to be amnesty, got up and ran out.

When the footsteps of the "black military uniform" walked away, the mysterious masked man opened the wooden box, looked at the ledger and reconciled it, and then suddenly bowed his hands to the side room and said: "My lord, I have already checked the account, and the account is indeed not correct." wrong."

Immediately, a deep voice came from the side room: "Okay! You did a good job this time."

"It didn't take me in vain to bring you back from Shandong."

"Tomorrow is the day of the imperial examinations. We must let the people below be more careful, otherwise, it will be a big event to lose their heads!"

The mysterious masked man immediately nodded and bowed his waist and replied with a flattering smile: "Your official understands, please rest assured, my lord."

Afterwards, the mysterious masked man gently opened the door, looked around, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he invited another figure and left the house.
However, just after the two of them left, several figures appeared from the shadows in the night. Behind them, there was a group of people lying in a haphazard manner. .

"Your Highness, do you want to capture these two behind-the-scenes black hands as well?"

A figure bowed respectfully to the leader.

"No need, let them live on for a while. The emperor said that there are too many officials involved in corruption this time. If they are arrested now, it will only scare the snake."

"When the imperial examination is held tomorrow, everyone will be arrested so that they have nothing to say!"

The speaker's voice was still a little immature, it was Comrade Zhu's fourth son, little Zhu Di.

These corrupt officials will not know that everything is slowly advancing according to the script written by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Early the next morning.
Outside the Imperial College, candidates from all over the country were crowded, and they queued up one by one to pass the body search.

In order to prevent cheating, Zhu Yuanzhang even set up a changing room next to it, in order to let these examinees take off their clothes and have a 360-degree full-body inspection without dead ends.

It is also thanks to Zhu Yuanzhang for being able to think of this point, otherwise, it would really make some people fish in troubled waters.

Most people would only think that maybe some candidates would secretly bring some cheat sheets into the arena, but absolutely no one would have thought that there would still be people who would put the cheat sheets on their arms and arms.
Looking at a small number of candidates who were stripped and driven out of the examination room, little Zhu Di was a little dumbfounded, he never expected such an operation.

"Father, you are really amazing. You can think of all this, and I admire you."

Hearing little Zhu Di's praise, Comrade Zhu felt a little guilty in his heart, and thought to himself: "What's the matter? When I couldn't memorize the scriptures back then, your father and I also copied the scriptures on the palm of our hands. .”

"Hmm, cough, cough." Zhu Yuanzhang coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment: "What do you know, kid? Just your father and me, there are many things worth learning for you! You kid just study hard!"

Little Zhu Di nodded again and again when being reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang, but he had other thoughts in his heart: "Well, next time you can't remember the poems and poems, you can also learn from your father."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who is full of complacency and eloquence, may not have thought that little Zhu Di was indeed learning from him all the time, but compared to some things worth learning, those that are not worth learning, are more likely to be inherited by little Zhu Di through heredity. in the bones.
"What we told you yesterday, you brat, have you done it well?"

After boasting for a while, Comrade Zhu suddenly returned to the topic.

The little Zhu Di immediately replied: "Father, don't worry, everything has been settled. When the time comes, there will be witnesses and material evidence. These black sheep will definitely be speechless!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction. Since he told these bastards about Qilin Xia, in a short period of time, Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, and Zhu Di have all made significant progress, and Zhu Xi is the only one left. Man, the unicorn blood has not been awakened yet.
But that's all, Zhu Yuanzhang is already consoling.

After all, at the beginning, he only believed that Zhu Biao could awaken Qilin blood alone, but the current result has far exceeded his expectations.

Moreover, the three sons Zhu Xi, Zhu Bian and Zhu Di, who have never been very successful, have become more mature and sensible. Compared with before, they are really many times better.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang is the king of a country, he is also a father.

Seeing his son becoming more and more successful, being a father here, of course, he is also happy from the bottom of his heart.

Finally, with the unremitting efforts of the guards, all the candidates were finally checked, but the result of the check made Comrade Zhu frown.

In this first inspection, thousands of candidates who cheated have been found out!

Although he had already made mental preparations, so many people cheated, which really made Comrade Zhu sullen for a while.
Seeing Sword Master Changhong approaching, he bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Your Majesty, all the preparations have been arranged properly, and the imperial examination will officially begin after His Majesty gives an order."

Sword Master Changhong had a respectful look on his face, but he was extremely depressed in his heart, and secretly made up his mind that from now on, no matter how cheeky Zhu Yuanzhang begged him, he would not interfere with any work other than Zhu Yuanzhang's security!
You know, as the chief examiner of the first imperial examination, Juggernaut Changhong felt that the trivial matters were too complicated for him to bear.

The sword master Changhong originally had the temperament of idle clouds and wild cranes, but because of his soft heart one after another, he fell into Zhu Yuanzhang's tricks, repented time and time again, but was fooled again and again, quite a kind of "tried and tested" rush
"Then let's get started!"

Guessing what the sword master Changhong was thinking, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't dare to ink, and immediately announced the official start of the imperial examination!
The first imperial examination after the founding of the Ming Dynasty has officially begun!
I saw the candidates take their seats one after another, with a distance of one foot between them.

But even so, there are still many examiners arranged to patrol the invigilation in each examination room to prevent anyone from cheating.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not appear in front of the candidates. The candidates in the examination room naturally did not know that the king of a country was also present, ready to let them watch a good show.
The examination content of the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty was mainly based on stereotyped essays.

The eight-part essay is divided into several parts: breaking the topic, accepting the topic, starting the lecture, entering the topic, starting the topic, writing the topic, middle section, back section, closing section and closing.

Among them, the essence part is the last four parts, which must be paired with parallelism. There are eight parts in total, so it is called "eight parts".

Although in order to give candidates questions, those teachers separated the Four Books and Five Classics into each sentence, making it difficult to understand the sentences.

But it cannot be denied that the stereotyped essay still has its advantages. Who among the later outstanding talents such as Xu Jie, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng was not proficient in the stereotyped essay?
As for the reform of the imperial examination content in other dynasties later, there were also advantages and disadvantages.

However, the exam had just started, when a cup of tea, little mice came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side
