My uncle's name is Zhu Di

168 - Chapter [-]
Guo Zi was so frightened that he passed out. Zhu Di didn't show any sympathy when he saw it. On the contrary, he was furious.

"Okay, this is the second rank of the dynasty, and this is my minister. The country's salary and allowances provide for such things. My money, it's better to use it to feed the dogs. At least I can wag my tail!"

The anger Zhu Di suppressed in his heart erupted uncontrollably.

This is not a day or two.

From the matter of the Confucius family, they are discussing who has the final say in this world... Zhu Di can see clearly that Song Lian and others are known as famous ministers, but in the end they still put Zhu Yuanzhang on the Dianxing Youfu theory.

You are bullying our Zhu family for not studying enough!
There is also the matter of the Yongle reign, which is also the same reason.

Although the Son of Heaven is supreme, it is not strange to be deceived.These literati are so bold!
Now that Enke is opened, it is nothing more than to promote some people who are close to the emperor.

Sure enough, he put forward a good suggestion, and these people are still pushing back and forth, playing me like a child!
No money in the wild overseas?

Are you lying to a three-year-old child!
If there is no money, how can so many barbarians go to Daming to buy silk?

Are they out of money?
Shiploads of real money, talking nonsense with your eyes open!
Now I will let you go out to sea to have a look, and you will pretend to be dead for me.

No!

If you pretend to be dead, you have to go, and if you die, you have to die overseas.

Zhu Di was really ruthless, "Decree to send two imperial doctors with the best medicine to go out with the fleet, and tell them to take good care of Mr. Zhengshi Guo! Let him take a good look at him!"

Guo Zi's eyelids seemed to move when he was lying on the ground, but he didn't make a sound, and let the guards carry him down.

The important ministers of Jiuqing ended like this, and the civil servants present lowered their heads, not daring to say a word.

Zhu Di looked at the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "The position of Zuodu Censor is very important. You should go back and discuss to see who can take over."

The ministers agreed together.

Zhu Di thought for a while, and then said casually: "The responsibility of the general is the most important, so let's also mention the second grade. The big guy will continue to review the papers with me."

The officials were startled, as if they were attacked by something.

The Tongzheng Envoy was originally a third-rank yamen, but if he was promoted to the second-rank, would he be on an equal footing with the Six Ministries?
do you mean this?

Everyone was still confused, but Xu Jingchang could see it clearly, and Zhu Di really knew how to play it when he hit the nail on the head.

From Xu Jingchang to Xie Jin, the Secretary of General Affairs has become Zhu Di's main handle in controlling the court. He is obedient and capable, and specializes in solving troubles for the emperor... However, the Secretary of General Affairs is not of high grade. Only by obtaining the title of Prince Taibao can he suppress the six books.

When he came to Xiejin, he also gave the prince less title, making him equal to the six ministers.

But everyone can see that the problem can't be solved just by adding the title to the chief officer. Xie Jin still can't supervise the progress of the various ministries. After all, he doesn't have as strong a foundation as Xu Jingchang.

There is no way but to raise the level of Tongzheng Envoy himself, so that he can be on an equal footing with the six ministers.

In normal times, this matter must be ancestral rules, and there is a lot of talk.

Fortunately, Guo Zi passed out and the ministers were terrified, so they came to hide.

Moreover, Zhu Di also left the recommendation right of Zuodu Yushi to the courtiers.

I've already given you face, so don't push your nose on it.

At this moment, the officials really dare not stand up to Zhu Di.

In this way, in the second half of the examination, everyone was worried, not daring to make the slightest mistake, for fear of following Guo Zi's old path and becoming the emperor's punching bag.

After intense marking work, the results of the palace examination were finally released.

This time, Zhu Di was merciful, and he was not dismissed. Therefore, it also resulted in the palace examination with the most admissions since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

The total number of people exceeded 580, a total of [-] people.

What's interesting is the ranking of the imperial examination, the most talked about is the three tripods.

Among them, Tanhualang is Xu Qin, the member of Enke Huiyuan.

That's right, after repeated weighing, Xu Qin got No.3.

Originally, Zhu Di wanted to give him the No.2 ranking, but there was a problem. His idea was to earn money directly from overseas, plunder the barbarians, and enrich China... It was a bit straightforward, and it was not in line with the rule of the heavens and the country. tune.

Of course, that is to say, Zhu Di obviously doesn't really care about it.

In fact, Tanhua is also good. It can't be said that it has just taken shape, but it has to look like a dog.

It's ugly but you can't get your hands on it.

To talk about Xu Qin's appearance... it can only be said that he inherited Xu Huizu, tall and handsome, and he has studied hard recently, and he has a little more bookish air.

Putting it among a bunch of Jinshi, it is absolutely outstanding, in a physical sense.

His father is taller, he is taller than his father, a head taller than the No.2 Zeng Di.

That's right, Zeng Wei took the second place of No.2.

This great talent from Jiangxi was originally aiming for the top prize, but now he is only short of one place, but it is actually a huge difference.

After Enke ended, people called Xu Qin Renqing Huiyuan.

And Zeng Chi's No. [-] is indeed No. [-] in favor, because apart from him, in the top [-], there is no one from the exam, all of them are from Enke!

The number one scholar was Zuo Yutian, who was a clerk in the Jiangning County Yamen. This person had worked in the county Yamen for 18 years without making a sound or making a sound.

Not long ago, he suddenly resigned from office, and the big guy thought that something happened at home and he couldn't stay in Yingtian anymore.

But looking back, he actually ran to participate in Enke.

And the ranking in Enke is also good, it is No.17.

When it came to the palace examination, with an article, he was appreciated by the emperor and became the number one scholar.

Those colleagues in Jiangning County were stunned when they saw this result!

Be good, Lao Zuo is soaring into the sky!

Zuo Yutian, who is in his early forties, is very old, with deep wrinkles on his forehead and white hair on his temples.

Especially working in the yamen all the year round, he has developed the habit of lowering his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, his back is always bent, and his eyes are fixed on the toes of his shoes, as if he is waiting for orders at any time.

Not to mention comparing with Xu Qin, even if compared with the short, dainty and young Zeng Di, this appearance is still far behind.

"Duke Zhuangyuan, lift up your chest!"

Xu Jingchang led a white horse in front of him.

"Please get on the horse with the number one scholar, and praise the officials in the imperial street!"

Zuo Yutian was shocked, champion!Yujie praises the official!
He seems to have just realized that he has become the champion, which is quite different from his previous status.

You want to praise the officials in Yujie, can you do it with your old face?

He looked blankly, and Xie Jin next to him smiled and said: "Get on the horse, Your Majesty appreciates it, read the papers yourself, and order your number one scholar, you are the emperor's disciple. After all, this is the first batch of Jinshi since His Majesty ascended the throne. Got a head start!"

At this moment, Zuo Yutian was a little more awake, as if something in his body had awakened.

He got on the horse, raised his head for the first time, looked straight ahead, and his eyes were three points sharper.

Zuo Yutian came out from the Royal Road of the Imperial Palace, this is the place only the emperor can go, but today he was given the number one scholar who was born as a petty official.

Outside the palace gate, countless soldiers and civilians had been waiting for a long time. Knowing that Zuo Yutian had become the champion, former colleagues and even neighbors in the capital all ran over to watch the excitement.

This old Zuo has a dignified appearance and a dignified appearance. Needless to say, he was born to wear official clothes, Wenqu Xingxia!
It has long been seen that he is not a thing in the pool, look, this is not a soaring sky, a blockbuster.

Compared with the innocuous discussions of the common people, those officials who worked with Zuo Yutian in the past asked themselves and kept reflecting.

In the past, did we bully Lao Zuo?

Did you give him some shoes?

Is there any place where I am sorry for the old left?
He gets married and a daughter-in-law. Do we give gifts during the holidays?

When you meet each other, do you speak loudly?
Do you stare at others?

……

This gang is all crazy, self-reflective.

After all, today's Lao Zuo can crush them to death as long as he sticks out a little finger.

I hope that the old left can be magnanimous, and the adults will not remember the mistakes of the villains.

Compared with these former colleagues, Jiang Qingquan, the magistrate of Jiangning, is the one who is really anxious... Yingtian has two counties in one mansion, of which Huang Xiaoru is the magistrate of Shangyuan County. It seems that he is just a county magistrate, but he is a figure who connects to the sky.

There is only one county magistrate left, Jiang Qingquan, the county magistrate of Jiangning.

How can he say that he was born as a Jinshi, and he has the nobility of a literati, and he has always called these clerks around, without being polite at all.

What is a scholar?
Those like me who have been admitted to Jinshi are disciples of Confucius and Mencius, serious scholar-bureaucrats.

People like you can only read a few characters, and earn a living in the Yamen by selling characters. Speaking of which, what is the difference between you and those poor people who write letters to others in front of the Confucius Temple?
Be honest with me, if one is unhappy, I will fire you and let you know how powerful it is.

It's just that Jiang Qingquan never imagined that his subordinate would suddenly become the champion!

This is one who can enter the Imperial Academy. In terms of rank, he is directly on the same level as himself. As for the status, it is even more limitless.

"Hurry up, hurry up and prepare a gift, I want to pay a visit."

Jiang Qingquan yelled frantically, yelling at his old wife, "Go quickly and bring us all the most valuable things."

Don't think he is just a county magistrate, but he is the magistrate of the capital after all. He has been an official for many years and has quite a lot of accumulation.

"Throw away all the silver ones, and only pick up the gold ones. By the way, this is Hanyu, a good thing! There are also these few Tianhuang stones, and these famous folding fans...all are packed."

The old wife frowned when she saw it, "It's all because you have spent a lot of effort to get it, and you have given it away, but it's time to live?"

Jiang Qingquan was terrified, and quickly covered his mouth, "Don't talk nonsense! If it gets out, you want to be a widow!"

After appeasing the old wife, Jiang Qingquan packed a large box of valuable gifts and put them on the carriage. He didn't know where Zuo Yutian lived, so he called a government servant, drove the carriage, and sent him to Zuo Yutian's home.

It was a small courtyard with only three houses, the two sides were in a mess, the road was very narrow, and a carriage barely passed.

When he arrived at the door of Zuo Yutian's house, he knocked lightly, and it took a long time for someone to come out.

"you are?"

"I'm the magistrate of Jiangning, your master's colleague... my friend, come here and ask to see your master."

Jiang Qingquan had a humble smile on his face, as if he had been an old friend for many years.

After a while, Zuo Yutian came out. After praising the official, he went to the Qionglin banquet again, he still smelled of alcohol.

I don't know whether he became the number one scholar or what, but Jiang Qingquan felt that Zuo Yutian's temperament was very different, and he felt superior.

"Brother Zuo, I came to pay a visit and congratulate you on being the No. [-] in high school. It is not respectful to prepare a small gift. Now that you have won the No. [-], it is different from the past. You have to decorate your home. It can't be too shabby."

Zuo Yutian was noncommittal, but only glanced at the carriage behind him, the ruts were deep, Zuo Yutian said indifferently: "My lord, don't worry about it."

"It should be. From now on, we will be colleagues. Don't call me Tangzun. My name is Qingquan, and my name is Zihua. By the way...do you have a letter?"

Zuo Yutian still ignored him, but said indifferently: "If these gifts were placed in the year before last, they can be exchanged for thousands of stone grains, and at least tens of thousands of refugees can be saved!"

After finishing speaking, Zuo Yutian said calmly: "Please go back, Tang Zun, I dare not accept it, for fear of attracting evil spirits and evil spirits."
