Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 347
Topic [-]: Discuss the Miao Rebellion in Southwest China and Civil Revolution in Southeast China, as well as strategies to appease the common people and rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty.

The second topic discusses the frontier strategies of the Xuande and Zhengtong dynasties, and the strategy of appeasement of the Sibari and Vega at home.

Topic three, on the tribute trade between the Ming Dynasty and the vassal states, and the strategy of strengthening the country and enriching the people, and enriching the finances.

Candidates have a few days to answer the three policy questions slowly.

Zhu Qiyu also emphasized that candidates can answer freely without worrying about being convicted for their words.

The juren who have participated in the Shuntianfu rural examination are not bad, after all, the absurd Tianzi had already given a policy discussion topic in the last rural examination.

But the people from other provinces were a little dumbfounded, there was no way to answer this kind of question.If we want to discuss the frontier strategy of the Xuande Dynasty, should everyone praise or criticize it?

If you praise it, you are talking nonsense with your eyes wide open. Do you think that the emperor himself came up with a policy to discuss the topic just to listen to your nonsense.

If you criticize, it's Emperor Xuanzong. Is it really okay to criticize openly?

So Huang Pu and He Yi patrolled the examination room, and they were dumbfounded when they patrolled. The two found that on the first day of the test strategy theory, almost no candidates wrote, and all of them were thinking hard.

This exam is about whether everyone can be a high school Jinshi, and no one dares to take the topic of the policy and treat it lightly.

In the previous exams, policy theory was used to suit the situation, and whether you could get it mainly depends on how well the stereotyped essay is written.

But the examinees have also heard about it during the days when they were preparing for the exam in the capital. Today, today is a maverick and different.

So Jingtaichao will try it for the first time, everyone should be careful.

However, Huang Pu and He Yi also discovered that there are special people among the candidates.For example, No.1 in Shuntianfu Township Examination, Wang Yue.

After passing the Shuntianfu Township Examination, Wang Yue guessed that the emperor would personally give advice on topics during the examination.And it's all about the content.

Therefore, Wang Yue has already thought it over and even prepared a draft.After getting the topic, others were thinking hard, but Wang Yue was confident, and he wrote like a god.

After the first day of the exam, Wang Yue finished writing and handing in the papers and left.

Gao Yao was also hand in hand with Wang Yue.

However, Gao Yao didn't deliberately guess the questions before the exam, but usually loves to pay attention to current affairs, and is quite good at discussing.Now that I get these three policy topics, I can say that I express my feelings directly, and I can write freely and eloquently.

The most important thing is that Gao Yao doesn't care too much about personal honor and fame, and there is a heroic spirit of breaking the boat and going forward indomitably during the conversation.

Seeing that Gao Yao handed in the paper early, Huang Pu was also a little surprised.Huang Pu had paid attention to Gao Yao a long time ago, because Gao Yao was obviously different from others. He not only answered the questions extremely fast, but also gnashed his teeth and acted impassionedly while answering.

After Gao Yao handed in the paper and left, Huang Pu asked He Yi, "Xing Yi, who is this young man?"

He Yi smiled and said, "His name is Gao Yao, from Minxian County, Fujian Province. He is 23 years old this year and ranked 17th in the Fujian Provincial Examination last year."

Huang Pu looked at He Yi in surprise, and teased with a wry smile: "Xing Yi, do you get into the drama too deeply, and really think that you are Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao who has no plans to spare.

Why do you know everything, is this Zhiduo close to a demon? "

He Yi spread his hands helplessly: "I've known him for a long time, do I still have to lie to you that I haven't met him? Believe it or not, I can even guess everything written on his answer sheet."

"real or fake?"

Seeing that Huang Pu still didn't believe it, He Yi explained with a smile: "Gao Yao is from Min County, Fuzhou Prefecture, and I am from Fuqing County, Fuzhou Prefecture. Min County is close to Fuqing County.

Our two families are less than thirty miles apart, we are close in age, and we are both young talents from Fuzhou Prefecture. "

When Huang Pu heard the words, he suddenly realized: "It turns out that's the case, so it's no wonder. But you won't help him accommodate when reading the paper?"

He Yi smiled helplessly: "If you use stereotypes to select scholars, Gao Yao may not be able to pass the exam. But our sage judges the competition based on strategy, and we don't need anyone's support. Gao Yao can pass the exam with his eyes closed."

Huang Pu nodded: "You praise him so much, I'm even more curious."

He Yi smiled and said: "It's still a long time for everyone to be officials in the same dynasty, let's take it easy."

……

On February 26, the weather was fine.

While the examination was held smoothly, Zhu Qiyu stayed at home with nothing to do.

The important ministers in the court have their own affairs, and even the people in the Zhongshushe around him have all left, either to meet the Supreme Emperor, or to be the examiners of the examination.

There is no way to deal with this military and political affairs. If His Majesty the Emperor is to criticize and read those memorials and military newspapers, Zhu Qiyu will not do it if he is killed.

Fortunately, there are still cabinet ministers on duty in the cabinet, and most of the ceremonial inspectors are there, and there are no major events in the court, so Zhu Qiyu simply gave himself a vacation and concentrated on serving his favorite concubines at home.

When he first became emperor, Zhu Qiyu still thought about the Sangong and Six Courtyards, with three thousand beauties, and then he would have nearly a hundred children like those magical county kings in the Jin Dynasty.

Now Zhu Qiyu doesn't think so at all. Fifteen favorite concubines are already too much to deal with, so why bother talking about three thousand beauties.This first round of childbirth alone almost killed her.If there were hundreds of them, it would be impossible to survive that day.

So Zhu Qiyu also thought about it, and every favorite concubine could have one or two sons, so there was no need to have endless births.

As the day of giving birth approached, the beloved concubines became more and more clingy, almost not allowing Zhu Qiyu to leave their sight.

Lin Xiangyu has been pregnant for more than nine months, and in ten days, she may give birth at any time.

Early this morning, Zhu Qiyu was beating Lin Xiangyu's legs while chatting with the concubines.

Suddenly Qianxue came in and smiled at Zhu Qiyu: "Husband, Li Jin has returned from North Korea, do you want to see him?"

Zhu Qiyu was overjoyed when he heard the words: "It's just the right time to come back. We didn't have maids to serve us before, so it doesn't matter. After two or three months, a bunch of children are born, and there are no maids and eunuchs to help us, so we must be driven crazy. .

How many people did he buy in total? "

Qianxue replied: "There are 100 eunuchs, 100 maids, and 300 handymen who can serve people immediately after the age of ten.

For those under the age of eight, there are 200 eunuchs, 500 maids, and 300 handymen.

A total of 500 people. "

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu was speechless: "Why are there so many young eunuchs? I remember that Xuanzong only asked for more than 100 eunuchs from North Korea before, which forced the king of North Korea to complain. Why did North Korea give 300 eunuchs so happily this time?"

Qianxue smiled and said: "Husband is stupid, can it be the same? Xuanzong went to rob him alive, but our family is a group of real people, but they all paid money one by one.

For these 500 people, a full 3 taels of gold was spent.For each of them, the individual will be rewarded with twelve taels of gold, and the family will be rewarded with twelve taels of gold.At the same time, 5000 taels of gold were rewarded to the King of Korea.

Quite a few of them are orphans, so there is no need to reward their families, so a total of 3 taels of gold was spent.

At the same time, their life history information and government archives have all been destroyed. As a result, even if the ministers of the DPRK and China really have nothing to do and travel thousands of miles to bribe their families, it will be difficult to find the right lord.

The North Korean king accepted the gold, he couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear, and ordered his officials to cooperate as much as possible.That's why our purchasing this time went so smoothly. "
