My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 165 The crime of deceiving the king
After Xie Jin finished speaking, Zhu Di frowned immediately, and hurriedly asked, "Is this true?"

"Really!" Xie Jin said decisively: "Thanks to His Majesty's grace this time, there are many people who can participate in Enke. There are candidates from various provinces, clerks from the Yamen, and supervisors from the Imperial College. There are many educated people among them. They don't want to Serving for my emperor is nothing but serving the country, and now, they just want to fight fairly, and they are willing to lose."

Zhu Di glanced at Xu Jingchang, "You mean that too?"

Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty, please gather all the candidates who passed Enke in the barracks immediately, and put them under the care of special personnel. You can give them books, pens, ink, paper, inkstone, clothing, food and clothing. No one is allowed to visit casually, even if If there is an emergency, you have to report it truthfully and wait for approval. Only in this way can you eliminate all kinds of discussions outside and ensure the fairness of the imperial examination."

As soon as Zhu Di heard it, he understood that everything was indeed at stake.

It is inevitable that people on Enke's side will have a lot of discussions because of their backgrounds.

Entering an official with such a reputation, it is impossible to have a smooth official career.

The only way is to go all out and fight to the death.

After Enke was over, everyone took the initiative to lock up and asked the emperor to send someone to watch them.

Then wait until the trial over there is over, and the two sides will compete in the Golden Palace.

In this way, it can be ensured that the Enke scholars will never bribe their joints or engage in malpractice for personal gain.

Enke, Enke, we are not asking for the court's grace and an official position, but we want the court to give us a chance to defeat those high-ranking scholars.

Win happily, lose simply.

Breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, here it is.

Enke scholars showed such great courage, the pressure fell on those scholars all at once.

It's good that they can win. If they lose, they lose everything from knowledge to character. Who will say that they are Wenqu stars descending to earth?
Is there such a hip-pull Wenquxing?

Pooh!
Simply shameful!
Zhu Di took a deep breath, thought over and over again, "Okay, I agree, let's do this! I also want to see the quality of scholars in the world."

When the emperor issued an order, Xu Jingchang let out a long breath, and Xie Jin's hanging heart relaxed a little, but it rose again immediately.

After all, there is no real exam yet, so it's really hard to say who will win.

……

"In the future, there will be no one to serve you. Be careful when you eat and sleep. If you feel uncomfortable, report it quickly, don't hold on."

Xu Huizu kept talking, just like an old lady.

Xu Qin didn't think much of it, after all, he survived nine days in the Gong Yuan.

The next period of closed reading, the conditions are actually good.

The location is just outside the Jubao Gate. It was the Han King Zhu Gaoxu who made the house. Before it could be distributed to the craftsmen, it was used by them first.

Each person has a small courtyard. After living in it, they will have two meals a day, which will be delivered by specialized staff. If you think it is not enough, you can bring your own rice and cook in it. Anyway, there is a kitchen, so don't worry.

It's just that the area where they live is surrounded by a wall of one foot or two feet outside, and there are special Jinyi guards stationed and patrolled.

Items coming and going must be strictly inspected before they can be released... In short, before the palace test, cut off communication with the outside world.

This guarantees that there will be no problems of favoritism, malpractice, and collusion.

Things have reached this point, even the most picky people seem to be almost invulnerable. After all, if you doubt their problems, what about the outsiders?
It is impossible for any exam to be 100% fair. It can only be said that Enke has done his best.

"Father, my son is also in his twenties, and he is either going to a far place, or outside Jubao Gate. You don't need to bring so many things, bring me a few more books, and bring me those newspapers." .Although you can watch it inside, it’s probably shared by several people, which is not so convenient.”

Xu Huizu nodded again and again, with a gratified smile on his face, "You boy has really grown up."

Xu Qin smiled wryly in his heart, he can't do it if he doesn't grow up, his aunt, and so many nobles are all staring at her!Besides, it is also the Xu family, and it feels uncomfortable to be oppressed by my cousin.

Moreover, so many grey-haired petty officials all came to take the exam, and they worked hard for fame and fame. I was young and couldn't fall behind.

"Father, don't worry, the child will do his best to not disgrace the family."

After speaking, Xu Qin took a simple change of clothes and two boxes of books and newspapers, and went straight to Jubaomen.

At the same time, hundreds of other people who passed through Enke also came here and settled in the prepared houses one after another.

At this moment, Yingtian's residence newspaper reporters are also waiting here.

"Now there are rumors everywhere that Enke is cheating, what do you think?"

"Also, the courtiers said that they disdain to serve as ministers in the same palace with you. Are you prepared for the ostracism in the future?"

……

Facing the reporter's question, Xu Qin stopped abruptly, turned his head and glared at the reporter, and snorted heavily: "When it comes to the palace examination, whether it's a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk, and then you'll know who is capable, just try it!"

An old scribe who was nearly fifty years old also laughed and said: "If you can try your hand at juzi, you can also strictly discipline yourself. From now on, you will also live in these houses, and you will not sing poems and pay homage to your seniors. Three points of admiration. Otherwise, let them shut up!"

What a temper!
But the fact is true, after living in, it is tantamount to being endorsed by the emperor for them.Unless you say that Zhu Di is unfair, leak the subject to them, and dare to make rumors about the emperor, then you will have to pay a price.

With the check-in of Enke Juzi, Ying Tian's discussion disappeared in an instant.

But it's clear someone isn't willing to let the heat go down just yet.

This person is naturally a happy person who beats gongs to nine places out of ten, and feels uncomfortable every day if he doesn't do anything, His Royal Highness Zhao Wang is Zhu Gaosui.

That's right, Xu Jingchang has stopped.

In order to ensure the fairness of the imperial examinations, all civil officials above the third grade in Beijing lived in secluded places. Even if they had no official duties, they had to go to the Yamen to sit on duty. After returning, whoever they met, what they said, and what letters they wrote... had to be ready to be checked at any time.

Once it is found that there is contact with Juzi, it will be strictly investigated to the end immediately.

As the governor of Jinyiwei and Zhan Shifu of Zhan Shifu, Xu Jingchang must not be lenient to himself and strict with others.He went to Jinyiwei and Zhan Shifu honestly every day, not daring to neglect.

After being an official for so long, that is, in the recent period, he is worthy of Zhu Di's salary.

Without Xu Jingchang, Zhu Gaosui would definitely not be able to stop the excitement in Yingtian City... He really did his best, and Di Bao fired all his firepower.

Directly issued a letter of war to the scholars.

Aren't you aloof?
Isn't Wenquxing descending to earth?

If you are not a disciple of Confucius and Mencius, are you different?

You say that Enke is cheating, and you swear by it.

Now that the opportunity has come, if you have the ability, you can compete in the palace test to see who has the better knowledge?

If you lose, please put down your airs and admit honestly that you may have read well, but you are far from being self-righteous!

All provinces, your test has come.

Let me ask you, do you dare to fight?

On the one hand, Zhu Gaosui issued a letter of challenge, and on the other hand, he encouraged people to respond in the tone of the eunuchs of the provinces.

Most of them are from Jiangxi.

Probably according to a certain Jiangxi Juren who did not want to disclose his name, said: The cultural context of the world, gathered in Jiangxi, and those who came out of Enke, could not hold up a little finger of Jiangxi Juzi.

With a light touch, it was crushed to death.

An ant may shake a big tree, it's ridiculous!
Some people looked down on them, and the two sides began to confront each other across the air in the mansion newspaper, sparks flew around, and it was very lively.

Even the whole emotion is mobilized.

For example, Tang Sai'er, sitting on the second floor of her house, can see the area across the street, which has been guarded by Jin Yiwei, and no one else is allowed to approach.

That is the Enke Juzi this time.

You must work hard, swell the old faces of those scholar-bureaucrats, and let them know that there is a price to be paid for being superior and looking down on others.

Perhaps Enke did not expect that they were originally despised by the scholarly community, but they received the support of the common people.

Time is like sand in the palm of your hand, the more you cherish it, the faster it will pass.

At the end of the general examination, a total of 370 gongshi who passed the exam have been freshly released.

It's just that they are probably the worst group of people in history... Originally, the palace examination only ranked, not dismissed.

The big guys can celebrate, and they have entered the group of scholar-bureaucrats.

But this time is different, there is still a group of people waiting!
It can even be said that if you fail the exam, you are just inferior in knowledge. If you make a comeback, you will still be a good man if you pass.

But if he loses to Enke's candidate in the palace examination, it will be troublesome.

He will almost become a sinner of Shilin and the object of ridicule in the world.

Now that I think about it, it seems that being famous is not a bad thing, at least not to bear the infamy.

It's a pity that things have come to this point, there is no way out, and they can only fight desperately.

By the way, what are you going to test in the imperial examination?
Can you successfully overwhelm those people?
At this moment, this group of scholars discovered the problem.

And Xu Jingchang also showed a smile on his face, he said to Fatty Zhu: "Your Highness, which imperial examination do you think is the most important?"

Fatty Zhu subconsciously said, "Of course it's the imperial examination!"

Xu Jingchang smiled and asked back: "Really? You can't be dismissed in the palace examination!"

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

"From county examinations, government examinations, and academician examinations to township examinations and general examinations, all the examinations are stereotyped essays...Through the screening, the selected group of people is almost the same. The difference is only the level of literary talent and the strength of skills! It is almost impossible to hear something brilliant and new. However, the palace examination is different from the previous ones, only one question is tested, and the emperor asks Ce Xinke Scholars to make suggestions and solve problems... What do you think, Your Highness?"

Zhu Gaochi's face darkened, "It's not good, the emperor has chosen, but he has no choice! This is too bullying."

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Actually, has your Highness thought about it? The more desperate thing is still to come. If the master of the prince is also selected from the Imperial Academy, what do you think will happen?"

What will happen?
You will be deceived without even knowing it!
Fatty Zhu suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "This is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "That's right, in today's palace test, we must let everyone understand this trick."
