Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 337 Weird Candidate
Chapter 337: Weird Candidate
Regarding Hu Weiyong, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally relieved.

Moreover, they are his children's relatives and old brothers. The key is that they are capable and have no other tricks.

What came and went was Zhu Yuanzhang’s favorite, the cinnabar mole.

Therefore, as expected, Mr. Hu was not in the Ministry of Rites but was fishing, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and pretended to hear it.

As for punishment?
Haha, that's Zhu Yuanzhang's half-brother. What's the punishment?

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang gradually figured out the taste.

Mr. Hu usually hides and avoids whenever he can, and even does a lot of things that make people grit their teeth.

But if you turn around and take a closer look, you will find that Mr. Hu never makes fun of serious matters.

Although he had a bad reputation among students and scholars, he never delayed any important affairs of the court.

Just like the official recruitment issue in front of us, the students were gritting their teeth, but whether it was him as the emperor or the officials of the six ministries, they all gave a thumbs up.

To put it bluntly, Mr. Hu is still avoiding suspicion and slandering himself.

Regarding Master Hu's approach, Zhu Yuanzhang was somewhat uncomfortable at first.

Because this doesn't mean that Zhu Yuanzhang has no tolerance for others.

But after thinking about it slowly and persuading his fat son, he figured it out.

Regardless of whether he is really tolerant or not, Mr. Hu has taken the lead in getting things done.

At least the threat has been truly reduced!
What's more, Mr. Hu has never done anything illegal or disciplined no matter how much he taints himself. At most, he just has a bad reputation.

There is no need to worry about his son-in-law causing any bad things to his daughter-in-law and making it difficult for his fat son.

After thinking about it like this, Mr. Hu seemed to be more considerate.

Therefore, when he heard that Mr. Hu was fishing again, Zhu Yuanzhang simply pretended not to hear.

"Well, that's alright, you guys can do whatever you need to do, let's listen in the back hall!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and walked towards the back hall, leaving Zhang Chou here sweating profusely and surviving the disaster.

After Zhang Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead, he sighed with lingering fear.

"Fortunately, I didn't sell Mr. Hu!"

"Look at this man, this is the true strength of the Holy Family!"

Zhang Chou's sigh fell on the ears of the officials on the side. The officials on the side had no objection at all, but nodded in agreement.

Obviously, he also thinks that Mr. Hu's holy family is really beyond the comparison of ordinary people.

This is just skipping work and taking advantage of the situation. Your Majesty actually pretended not to hear it.

If this can't be called the holy love, then what is?
Tsk tsk, this is the real role model for officials.

It's really worth it if you get into Master Hu's shoes!

However, the officials did not let them think too much. At this moment, they heard a bang outside and the interview was about to begin.

Knowing in advance that Zhu Yuanzhang was listening in the back hall, it was naturally impossible for the officials to come here blindly.

After straightening their clothes a little, they all sat upright in their seats.

Zhang Chou also quickly took the time to take care of his dignity, and then gave instructions in a deep voice.

"Bring in the first candidate!"

"Take the first candidate!"

Following the shouting from outside, a student in a brocade robe was brought in.

Seeing the other party pretending to be nonchalant even though his legs were trembling, all the officials at least unconsciously gave the other party two extra points. Regardless of whether the other party is holding on hard, but at least he can maintain his current appearance under the gaze of more than a dozen officials from the Ministry of Etiquette, which is very good for a student.

At least they couldn't do this back then.

This student obviously listened to the rules from the clerk outside at the door. After entering, he saluted politely as soon as possible and reported his name.

"Student Li Daoji has met all the adults!"

It can be seen that Li Daoji comes from a good family, otherwise he would just come out wearing a brocade robe.

Moreover, in front of a group of officials, being able to speak eloquently on such an occasion at least makes people feel better.

However, the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette did not show any signs of it. Instead, they followed the rules set by Mr. Hu and started asking questions one by one.

The problems are not difficult, they are just problems that the Rites Department encounters on a daily basis.

This can be considered as hearing firsthand how this student who applied for the Ministry of Etiquette handles things.

I have to say that those who have made it this far and passed the written test among thousands of students are more or less capable.

Although there are bound to be mistakes in the answers, they are much better than those nerds who don't understand anything.

At least for now, the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette, who are very likely to become the student's superiors, nodded unconsciously.

After a while, almost all the questions were asked, and only the last question was left.

Why should you apply for the Ministry of Etiquette?
This question has some tricks in it.

Mr. Hu had already explained it when he insisted on including this question.

There is actually no correct answer to this question, but you can listen to the student's answer to find out who this person is.

If someone praises someone's virtues from the very beginning, it means he has great ambitions and superb means.

Of course, the officials would not despise this kind of person, and would even give him a good score.

But at least when we get along in the future, we will be a little more cautious.

If the answer is simple and honest, it will not gain more points. Even after entering the Etiquette Department, I am afraid that the work at hand will not be completed.

As a result, the student named Li Daoji silenced everyone as soon as he opened his mouth.

"The student is Enke's failed student before. After hearing the news, other yamen didn't do what he thought and just wanted to come to the Rites Department!"

"It's not because of anything else. Even students want to try what it's like to be an examiner!"

"Only the Ministry of Rites has this possibility, so the students came!"

All the officials from the Ministry of Rites were completely speechless after hearing this answer.

I always feel like there is an old groove stuck in my throat.

The second candidate after Li Daoji answered questions very fluently after being asked questions by a group of officials.

At least in terms of professional ability, it is not impossible to work directly in the etiquette department.

But when it came to the last question, why should I apply for the Ministry of Etiquette, the candidate's answer became even more bizarre.

"Oh, student, I don't have anything else on my mind. I just want to work in the etiquette department and take a look at Mr. Hu!"

"The students just want to see with their own eyes whether Mr. Hu, who tortured the students to death during the imperial examination last year, is really smart."

"It's better to ask for advice in person then!"

Listening to what the student across from me said through gritted teeth, the officials in the Department of Ceremonies fell completely silent!
