At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 221

Hu Weiyong, a cabinet scholar of the seventh rank, was not at all focused on the open memorial placed on the desk at this time, although his eyes seemed to be staring at it.

Ever since King Huai of the Ming Dynasty entrusted all the officials, when he learned that he was a member of the cabinet and was at the seventh rank, to be honest, he was still extremely worried, worried about his future.

However, after learning what the cabinet members do every day, his heart is ecstatic.However, this ecstasy did not last long, and he gradually saw some clues from what the cabinet did.

The more he thought about it, the lost worry he regained.

He was extremely afraid that for a newly created office like the cabinet, as a member of the cabinet, there would not be much adjustment in terms of official rank.

Then, he thought about it day and night, even lost sleep at night, and finally figured out a little sign: that is, he can't go on like this anymore.

For him, the most important thing in life is naturally whether his future is great.

If the future of the cabinet official is doomed to be low, then he must try his best to jump out of this muddy pit as much as possible, so as not to sink deeper and deeper until there is no hope of jumping out in the end.

This is why he is absent-minded now.

Hu Weiyong slowly raised his head, and from the corner of his eye he secretly looked at Huai Wang Cheng De who was sitting at his desk.

Seeing that King Huai didn't notice him, Hu Weiyong observed for a while, then pondered for a while.

Afterwards, Hu Weiyong decided that he could not sit still and wait for death. He thought: For his own future, he will fight.

He was going to propose some national policies for local governance, so he made a request to remove himself from the cabinet as an institution.

When Hu Weiyong was about to stand up, what Hu Weiyong didn't expect was that at this time, Song Lian stood up first. Seeing this, Hu Weiyong had to calm down and take a look at what Song Lian wanted to do.

Song Lian's actions also attracted the attention of several other cabinet members. They all turned their eyes to Song Lian, with puzzled expressions in their eyes.

Song Lian ignored the crowd's scrutiny, but walked out of the desk first, then saluted Cheng De in a polite manner, and then said: "I report to King Huai that the Ming Dynasty was established at the beginning, and all wastes were prosperous. Although the Ming Dynasty has eight Ministry, but there are still few talents. The official thought that the imperial examination should be opened to the world in the name of the Ming Dynasty. Firstly, it will show King Huai's majesty, and secondly, all scholars in the world are looking forward to showing their strengths, and they have to wait for a long time for this. , if King Huai reopens the imperial examinations, the scholars of the world will be grateful to Dade for coming to join us, and in time, all the talents in the world will be included in the name of King Huai, and I, Ming Dynasty, will rule the world."

As soon as Song Lian finished speaking, the rest of the people looked at Song Lian in amazement, but suddenly, they all turned their attention to Cheng De, King Huai.

Song Lian made this suggestion. Although everyone wished that they were the first to propose it, they still felt a little lucky. After all, this matter had to be approved by Cheng De, Duke Huai, and it was easy to offend Duke Huai.If Duke Huai does not nod his head, this suggestion is still a suggestion.

However, to the disappointment of others, Cheng De did not commit any crime for his words.

Therefore, the rest of the people looked enviously at Song Lian who was standing upright. They all knew that at least King Huai did not object to Song Lian's suggestion, and that King Huai did not object or express his position, which just showed that King Huai was also thinking about it.

Song Lian may have seen this, and immediately took advantage of the fire, and hurriedly said: "Lord Huai, there are more and more talents in the world relying on us. Correspondingly, there are fewer talents relying on Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, Liu Futong, Yuan Dynasty and other forces. As time goes by, Our Great Ming is definitely stronger than other forces, I hope King Huai will listen to the words of this minister who is weak against the enemy."

After Song Lian finished speaking, he immediately stood aside, lowered his head silently and looked at the ground.

He knew that he had already said what he had to say, and as for whether it would happen or not, it depended on whether Duke Huai finally agreed.

Song Lian waited patiently for Cheng De's decision, and the rest of the people were also watching secretly. They were all thinking, the words of Song Xueshi were really good words and good strategies.

The others also held their breath and waited silently.

Cheng De was lost in thought.

At the moment, if the imperial examination is reopened, will it have any impact on the war ahead?
Moreover, the re-opening of the imperial examination is open to scholars from all over the world. Who knows if these scholars who came to Nanjing have spies sent by various forces?

Isn't this exposing yourself to the world?In particular, some matters such as core secrets have not yet been transferred.

In fact, Cheng De is also well aware of the series of benefits brought by the re-opening of the imperial examinations that Song Lian said, but the problem is that Feng Guoyong, Li Sanqi, and Geng Zaicheng fought on the third front, which still brought a lot of benefits to Daming Finance. pressure.

If the imperial examination is reopened at this juncture, then it means that the material and financial resources invested in this area will be huge, and this, compared with the current actual situation, comprehensively measures the financial expenditure of the Ming Dynasty, it is still not in line with the requirements of the Ming Dynasty. country's interests.

According to Cheng De's thinking, there is no rush to reopen the imperial examination in the name of the Ming Dynasty, and it has to be done slowly, at least until Feng Guoyong, Li Sanqi, and Geng Zaicheng all make new achievements.

Moreover, in the past few days, he also received a reply letter from Feng Guoyong. Feng Guoyong told him that within the next month, he will definitely win the entire Luzhou Road, and he has already arranged for Chelibuhua With a net all over the world, this time the army will be doomed.

Feng Guoyong also stated all his plans in detail in the letter. After Cheng De read it, he was very confident that Feng Guoyong would win the entire Luzhou Road.

In addition to Feng Guoyong's side, Geng Zaicheng's side, although he won Chao County, was held back by the Yuan army from Wuwei Prefecture when he attacked Wuwei Prefecture. But Cheng De also knew from Geng Zaicheng's words that it might be difficult for Geng Zaicheng to achieve greater results in this short period of time.

As for Li Sanqi, although he won Dangtu City, Cheng De would rather Li Sanqi not win.

However, fortunately, Liu Bowen suppressed the matter, otherwise, Cheng De would have to go to Dangtu City to question Li Sanqi himself.

After thinking about it, what he can do now is not to hold back Feng Guoyong, and not to hold him back, is to ensure the stability of the rear and give Feng Guoyong enough confidence.

If the imperial examination is really reopened at this juncture, there will be some changes in life, and it will also be a huge test for the stability of the rear. Moreover, those people involved in the previous anonymous report letter, he has all It hasn't been dealt with yet, and Jin Yiwei is still secretly collecting evidence. If these people don't deal with them, they will definitely not be able to stabilize their rear.After comprehensive consideration, reopening the imperial examination does not meet Cheng De's interest expectations.

Therefore, Cheng De's eyes fell on Song Lian, and he said calmly: "I have thought about the reopening of the imperial examination. Considering that Feng Guoyong, Geng Zaicheng and Li Sanqi's three-way army are fighting on the front line, in order to avoid some troubles. Variables, this matter will be mentioned later. The current focus is still on the implementation of the Ming Dynasty’s national policy of making the country rich and strong, and the rest of the irrelevant matters should not be mentioned again, so as to avoid extra problems.

Song Lian opened his mouth, and finally said with a wry smile: "Prince Huai is wise, it's because I didn't think carefully."

Seeing this, Hu Weiyong and others thought to themselves: Duke Huai, what exactly is he thinking?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Cheng De said, "I hope that everyone can work together. Whether this Ming Dynasty can finally defeat all other opponents depends on everyone's hard work. In a few days, General Feng will definitely be able to bring a great victory." , I hope that you will actively offer advice and suggestions for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. As long as it is beneficial to Daming, this king will adopt it. I also hope that you can give me a memorial in private, and the time limit is preferably within half a month. Inside."

"My minister obeys the order!" Song Lian and other cabinet members stood up and bowed in response.

"You all continue to be busy, the king has other things to deal with."

After Cheng De said this sentence, he left the study in a hurry and went to Luo Yan's house.

Hu Weiyong looked at the back of Cheng De's leaving, his eyes were suddenly gloomy.
