Chapter 173: The officials of the Ministry of Rites couldn’t bear it anymore

For officials, it is actually a big taboo to file a complaint beyond the next level.

Anyone who has done this does not care whether he can get a good result or not.

After this incident, everyone will avoid him.

After all, you can have the first time, who knows if you will have the second time.

If you dare to go beyond the level and file a complaint, then you don’t take your superiors seriously.

Regardless of whether it's a personal grudge or something else, if you do this, your reputation will be over.

But after a meeting with officials from the Ministry of Ceremonies, who had discussed it for a while, they resolutely made this choice.

There was no way, in their opinion, Mr. Hu made too much noise this time.

It's far beyond what people like them can bear.

The most important thing is that if something goes wrong, Mr. Hu, the instigator, may have nothing to do with it.

Those of them who are following you will be in trouble when the time comes.

Therefore, for the sake of one's own future, or even for self-protection.

They also have to go to the palace.

At this time, in the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was reviewing memorials in Jinshen Hall as usual.

The Ming Dynasty covered thousands of miles and had more than tens of millions of people under its rule?

All kinds of things are inherently complicated, not to mention that he loves to seize power.

When you take power, you also take responsibility.

Wouldn't that matter just be left in his hands?

In fact, officials are also smart. Since you, Zhu Yuanzhang, want to take power, that's fine.

If something happens, I'll report it. Anyway, I'll just listen to you when the time comes.

Although this will be labeled as dull, at least it won't make mistakes or lose your head in confusion, right?

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang had to deal with a large number of memorials every day, which seemed endless.

But today, when Zhu Yuanzhang was still processing the memorial with a frown, Song Li suddenly came to report.

"Your Majesty, a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites are asking for an audience outside the palace gate!"

"Huh? A gang? What's the matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was instinctively surprised.

The Ministry of Rites has its own minister. Even if the minister is busy transferring positions at the moment, there are still ministers on the left and right.

Why did a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites come to him?

This shows that something is wrong!

As an old man who had served Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time, Song Li would naturally not do the kind of thing where he passed on half of the message.

"Back to your lord, they are all here for the examination questions of the current provincial examination!"

"what???"

Zhu Yuanzhang was confused!

No!

What the hell is going on!

Really, even though Zhu Yuanzhang had been "trained" by the various bizarre operations of Ming officials, he was somewhat calm.

But I was still a little confused at the moment.

"Provincial examination questions? Shouldn't that be Weiyong's responsibility?"

"He is the examiner!"

"What's going on? Is it possible that they still want to skip the exam that I personally selected?"

"Wei Yong has never made any mistakes before, why should we change the examiner?"

What Zhu Yuanzhang said was so righteous and confident.

After all, he is quite optimistic about Hu Weiyong.

Apart from other things, Hu Weiyong's ability is absolutely nothing to say.

Moreover, the imperial examination, the talent promotion ceremony, etc. are quite important. But in fact, the work inside is not complicated.

If Hu Weiyong were to hand over this kind of thing, he would probably be able to handle it even if he squinted his eyes.

In the end, these idiots actually found him together?

'Is it possible that these people were instigated by certain people? '

When he thought of this possibility, Lao Zhu's face darkened and he ordered to Song Li.

"Go, call people here, we want to see what they want to say!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waited for the officials from the Ministry of Rites to arrive with a serious look on his face.

And when everyone trembled and explained everything clearly, and then put the question asked by Mr. Hu in front of him, he couldn't hold it anymore.

No, what is this!

What did Weiyong think?

Is there any answer to this question?

Or is there some knowledge mixed in that we don’t know about?

You must know that the questions Weiyong asked a few times in the past caused an uproar among everyone at the beginning.

Didn't it pass in the end?

It shows that although Weiyong was a little playful, at least he was not fooling around, let alone making fun of the Ming Dynasty imperial examination.

However, if we talk about the previous questions, Zhu Yuanzhang barely felt that he could still get some relevance.

So Zhu Yuanzhang was really confused about this question.

He even went out of his way to confirm it again with the officials.

It was really the question written by Hu Weiyong himself, without changing a word, and they took it over directly.

What?

Zhu Yuanzhang was really embarrassed.

As an emperor who was illiterate until now, Zhu Yuanzhang learned his knowledge slowly by himself.

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang had a yearning for knowledge and respect for capable and knowledgeable people.

But at the same time, because he came from a grassroots background, he also had a bad taste of trampling on scholars.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was quite happy to see the formerly aloof scholar crawling at his feet in fear.

This is determined by Zhu Yuanzhang's origin.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's perception of Hu Weiyong was somewhat different.

No matter what Zhu Yuanzhang thought in his heart, this man who had served as his prime minister and was personally promoted to a position below one person and above ten thousand people was indeed capable.

And he is not generally capable.

Even if he is no longer in the position of prime minister, he can still handle the errands entrusted to him beautifully.

What's more, now the two of them will become the second daughter's in-laws.

Isn't this relationship one level closer?

Under this situation, Zhu Yuanzhang instinctively felt that Hu Weiyong was most likely doing something with the test questions again.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the officials from the Ministry of Ceremonies below the steps with disgust.

"You go back first, we'll call Weiyong over later and ask!"

When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly became cold.

Oh my God, they all filed a complaint, but His Majesty actually chose to call the defendant over first to ask and talk in private?

They are both courtiers and officials, so why are these holy family members so different?

However, no matter how much they think about it, things can no longer allow them to change.

They can only leave honestly!

Song Li, who sent them out of the palace, did not return to the palace at all. Instead, he got on the carriage outside the palace gate and went straight to the Ministry of Rites.

He has to go find Mr. Hu Weiyong!

After all, His Majesty is still waiting for Mr. Hu’s explanation!

Zhu Yuanzhang was really curious at this moment as to what explanation Hu Weiyong could give him.

Although this question seemed to him more interesting the more he looked at it, it didn't look like a serious scientific examination question.

Weiyong can't make a joke for Ming Dynasty, that would be a bit unscrupulous!
