My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 164 Empress Xu's Anger

Before waiting to be greeted, Empress Xu had already walked in.

In fact, this is a bit rude, but she doesn't care, Xu's house is her natal family, go home and have a look, who would dare to stop her?Besides, the eldest nephew won the Huiyuan, such a great happy event, how could she, as an aunt, miss it.

"Big Brother, Big Brother, where's Wen Qu Xing in our family? Call Wen Qu Xing quickly and let me take a good look at it."

Xu Huizu was both excited and blushed, "Wenquxing is nothing more than a mere Enke Huiyuan. If you can't get on the stage, your empress should not praise it. It will be bad if the child doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth."

Empress Xu smiled and said: "Brother, you don't have to be too humble. Our children are promising, and Jingchang's child is smart. Now Xu Qin is so good. There are successors in the Xu family. Our father is under Jiuquan. I can be pleased."

While speaking, Empress Xu arrived in the yard, and all the nobles present came to salute together.

The big guys are all old acquaintances, the gang of nobles who founded the country have long been familiar with, Jingnan nobles, and those who fought with Empress Xu and defended Beiping.

Empress Xu is definitely not the kind of queen who is drafted into the palace, and the queen who is favored by the palace is comparable... She has an extraordinary influence among the officials in the court, especially the nobles.

"Everyone is here?"

Zhu Neng said with a smile: "If you go back to the empress, all the ministers will come over to rejoice."

Empress Xu smiled and said: "This joy is going to be... Big Brother, you go to the cellar and take out the cellar from the first year of Hongwu. It is the royal wine that the Emperor Taizu bestowed on our father. You can only rest when you get drunk."

Xu Huizu's heart hurts, this group is all wine worms, and the good wine in his house has not been drunk?
Empress Xu rolled her eyes at him, "I feel sorry for you? Originally, my son would have to drink it when he got married. This is the title on the gold list. It is much more respectable than the wedding ceremony, so don't be reluctant."

Now Xu Huizu had nothing to say, so he hurried to Zhang Luo.

Up and down the Xu mansion, beaming with joy and bustling.

Some family members brought out firecrackers, Xu Huizu wanted to stop them, but Empress Xu said: "It's been a long time, our Xu family has never been so lively, don't stop us, we are happy!"

No one dares to say anything when the queen empress speaks.

In an instant, the firecrackers of the Xu Mansion went off in unison, shaking the heavens and the earth.

The sky-shattering sound of firecrackers seemed to wipe away the last bit of bad luck of the Xu family when it was difficult for Jing to come.

The rise of Xu Jingchang has restored the Xu family to its former glory.But on Xu Huizu's side, there was always a gap.Even if Zhu Di forgave him and maintained his title, if he wants to be reused in this life, he probably won't be able to.

Even if it is a top honor, if there is no successor, it will inevitably end up in Jia's house.

Now that Xu Qin has won Huiyuan, at least it ensures that the next generation of Xu's parents will have a family.

How can you not be proud of a pair of males, impressive and well-equipped with both civil and military skills?
Empress Xu couldn't help but call Xu Qin over.After a good meal of boasting, after two hours of excitement, Empress Xu returned to the palace with a little drunkenness.

Zhu Di was waiting for her, "Going to celebrate?"

Empress Xu nodded, "That's right, many honorable families have gone, the big guys get together, it's very lively. Who said martial arts are vulgar? This will come out with a Huiyuan! In the past, Emperor Taizu asked each family to send their children They were sent to the Imperial College to study, but these boys went there, and they only knew how to mess around, making the Imperial College a mess. Looking at it now, who said that noble children can’t be awarded Jinshi? As long as they are well supervised, they can do it.”

Zhu Di was also relieved, and said with a smile: "Yes, this child Xu Qin has won the Xu family's breath, and he has also won the honor of Xungui. In the future, the court will have an extra force that can deal with civil servants. In my heart, I am also very happy.”

Empress Xu listened to Zhu Di's words, but found that Zhu Di frowned slightly, seeming a little unhappy, so Empress Xu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, is there something wrong? Is there anything to hide between us? Is there someone Gossip?"

Zhu Di couldn't hide it either, so he said: "When Enke's list is posted, the exams in Beijing will be messed up. Many people say that Xu Qin is a gifted person and relied on the help of his family to get into the exam. What are you talking about about Enke, he is clearly a member of the Jia En family... This group of things is simply abhorrent!"

When Empress Xu heard this, she frowned, and said displeasedly: "Why, our family finally got a Huiyuan, so you criticize us like this? What's the reason? Could it be that there is fraud in the examination room?"

Zhu Di hurriedly shook his head, "It's definitely not, it's just that there are too many people who talk nonsense, and they are picky."

Empress Xu snorted, "Then investigate! Let Jin Yiwei investigate. By the way, what about Xu Jingchang? Why doesn't he care about it and just watch others slander the Xu family's reputation? What is this?"

Zhu Di was slightly taken aback, and then said: "Xu Jingchang is still working out the questions for the imperial examination with Bachelor Xie and the others, and I will hand them over to me for selection."

Upon hearing this, Empress Xu couldn't help being startled.

To a certain extent, Xu Qin can be regarded as a person with affection, which is not wrong... His condition is really terrible.

First of all, although the topic of Enke was drawn up by Xie Jin, Xu Jingchang knew exactly what Xie Jin was going to test... Then Xu Jingchang gave Xu Qin tutoring, needless to say the specificity.

Almost straight to the point.

What's more terrible is that Xu Jingchang is also one of the examiners. Although he is not the chief examiner, he also has a considerable right to speak.

Question maker, counselor, test taker... three in one is yes.

Coupled with Xu Qin's background, it's Enke again.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a tailor-made exam for him.

Thinking of this, Empress Xu felt inexplicably guilty, "Your Majesty, is there a lot of discussion outside now?"

Zhu Di's face was not pretty, "There are quite a few."

Empress Xu said again: "Then, will it affect Xu Qin's future?"

Zhu Di hummed: "Who dares to stop the person I want to use?"

Having said this, Empress Xu also understood, and couldn't help but sigh, "People's words are awesome!"

Almost in an instant, more than half of the original joy disappeared.

"At first, I thought that the Xu family could figure out someone who could read, but now that I see it, it's actually hurting him!"

Zhu Di's face was sullen, and his expression became more serious.

"I originally planned to use Enke to select a group of useful talents, but I didn't expect that Enke's results would be released, and there would be a lot of controversy. Many people said that Enke was unfair, favoritism and fraud. I wanted to promote some of my own people. Why is it so difficult!"

The dignified son of heaven is also worried.

The imperial examination can be regarded as the most important promotion channel for literati, and now Enke has broken the long-standing inertia... The content of the exam has been changed, and the people who take the exam have also changed, and now the result of the exam is the same.

Where is the fairness of the imperial examination?

Can the imperial court's talent ceremony be ruined like this?

Almost instantly, all targets were aimed at Xie Jin, the chief examiner of Enke... Naturally, the same examiner Xu Jingchang was not spared.

People also made a fuss, summing up the four ugliness of the current dynasty, Xu Jingchang, the Duke of Ding, Xie Jin, the envoy of the general government, Huang Xiaoru, the magistrate of Shangyuan County, and Wu Shan, the left counselor.

This is where Wu Shan is the most wronged.

I'm just a servant, and I've never done anything bad.

You can't frame good people like this!
And this time was different from the past, Xu Jingchang was not only on the list of Tianzhu, but also someone took advantage of the night to throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetables at the gate of Xu Mansion.

It was even worse on Xie Jin's side, and he just threw shit.

Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Song Li, who is the Minister of Rites, finally let out a mouthful of resentment!

Live it!

This time Enke, he just watched with cold eyes. No matter what Xie Jin and the others arranged, he didn't speak.

You don't know the importance of the imperial examination.

Especially since there will be a formal examination in the future, scholars from all over the world, especially those juren, have probably already taken action. They will definitely write a letter of impeachment and demand that Enke be abolished this time.

Now that the people of the world have already started to move, all they have to do is push the boat along with the flow.

Xu Jingchang and Xie Jin, the two of them worked hand in hand, this time they must have been killed!

Finally, he let out a mouthful of grievances and abolished the court.

On the third day after the announcement of the Enke list, many people gathered in teahouses and restaurants in the capital, even in the open space in front of the temple.

Groups of angry flames soared into the sky, and they were about to start a prairie fire.

There were voices even in the officialdom, and many officials said that they would rather die than join the group of people from Enke as ministers.It was degrading to be with them.

At this time, Xu Jingchang and Xie Jin are like the point where convex lenses converge, the temperature rises, smokes, and is about to catch fire!

Xie Jin's face was solemn, "Actually, I have expected it... If Enke can follow the general imperial examination process, it will be nothing more than one more chance to try, and the people below will only be happy. But we have to use Enke to reverse the imperial court's employment , but also to re-discuss orthodoxy, and even overthrow Neo Confucianism... As a result, it is reasonable to have a lot of discussions. It’s just that it’s unexpected to get such a start.”

Xu Jingchang also nodded, "It's a bit violent to be honest, but I can still hold on. Bachelor Xie, how do you feel?"

Xie Jin smiled wryly and said, "I listen to Duke Ding. If you can bear it, the next official can only risk his life to accompany you."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "The matter has come to this, we can only come up with our last solution."

Xie Jin was startled, then nodded...the two of them faced the king together.

Zhu Di glanced at them, and said in a deep voice: "Today is the time for you to hand in the questions of the imperial examination, and I want to talk to you about Enke."

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others have not drawn up a topic."

"Why?" Zhu Di asked in surprise, "You can't figure it out?"

Xu Jingchang said: "Returning to Your Majesty, it's not that we can't figure it out, but we plan to wait until the other general examination is over, merge the palace examination, and assess together!"

"Assess together?" Zhu Di asked in surprise, "Is that okay?"

Xie Jin took a step forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, I have already inquired. Many Enke candidates said that they have had a hard life for half their lives, and they only want a chance to compete on the same stage. Apart from that, they have nothing else to ask for." !"
