The daily life of the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, thick black

Chapter 166 Pork liver nourishing blood
"sky……"

"Ma'am, you..."

"Come quickly, bring water and medicine!"

When the maids saw Gu Huaishu coming back, they were happy at first, but when they saw her hand, they were terrified.

Everyone got busy, only Zhang Tingyu was still calm.

He ordered people to go to work, he helped Gu Huaishu into the room, let her sit down, then silently buried his head and threw down the blood-soaked silk handkerchief wrapped around the wound.

Looking at the wound covered by the wound medicine, Zhang Tingyu took the clean veil brought by Qing Dai, and wiped off the blood around the wound. Occasionally, when she saw the turned up flesh, she took the medicine bottle beside her and shook it a little. powder.

Her lips were tightly pursed, and Zhang Tingyu's face was extremely stern.

Gu Huaixiu smiled and said: "It's fine anyway, why should you care so much? The emperor is still a Mingjun..."

Speaking of which, she herself felt ironic.

Mingjun is nothing more than mediocrity, which emperor has thousands of lives under his hands?

Princes commit the same crimes as ordinary people, except for the emperor.

Because the emperor himself is the law.

Zhang Tingyu had a cold face and cold eyes: "Shut up."

She was stunned for a while, seeing that he was only carefully and extremely annoyed wiping the blood on her fingers and between her fingers, she couldn't help but smile again: "Don't be like this..."

"What about me?" Zhang Tingyu paused, and every word that came out was like ice cubes, "You just scratched lightly, and the emperor won't care about you...why..."

As soon as he uttered the word "how", he finally shut up immediately.

Tell Gu San to shut up, it's better to shut up first.

Zhang Tingyu decided not to speak, and first treated the wound on Gu Huaishu's hand.

On the way, Ade had already gone to Xinglin Medical Center to invite someone, and they should come in a while.

"Fourth Master said, I want you to recommend Nian Gengyao to be the chief examiner of the rural examination this year." Gu Huaixiu said nonchalantly, "I am his slave, but you are not."

"You are my first wife." Zhang Tingyu saw that the silk handkerchief in his hand had been dyed red, so he changed another one, lowered his eyebrows and said slowly, "How can you get it if you don't seek it? The fourth elder brother knows that I am in charge of handling the provincial and township examinations. thing."

Gu Huaishu froze for a moment, a little unexpected.

Zhang Tingyu laughed, he naturally knew why Gu Huaishu was surprised.

Over the years, the imperial court has selected talents, from county examinations to township examinations to imperial examinations, level by level.

Every exam has an examiner. When the examinees and students are in charge, the county magistrate invigilates the questions, and the rankings from each place are ranked on the county government's top case, so the following Xiao Sanyuan is only called "the case chief ", Wang Yi, who drowned in the river and died, was the chief of the three cases in a row.The next three exams are called the "big three yuan", which are the Jieyuan of the provincial and township examinations, the Huiyuan of the Shuntian General Examination, and the champion of the Jinbang Palace Examination.

This rural examination is the first of the three most important examinations.

Every year, the chief examiners of the provincial examinations are basically selected from the capital here by the emperor.

Since the Ming Dynasty, there has been a saying that "non-Jinshi does not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet".

The people in the Hanlin Academy are generally of Jinshi background, and every time they order Xuezheng and chief examiners, they basically come from here.

The Hanlin people in the Hanlin Academy dare to be called "Old Mister", which one is not very knowledgeable?

Only by letting them out as examiners can everyone be convinced.

So when it came time to select the examiner, many people in the Imperial Academy were looking forward to it, just waiting for the emperor to select him.

Gu Huaixiu often jokingly called Zhang Tingyu "the poor Hanlin" and "the old gentleman". Once you go out and come back, you can eat for a lifetime.

The court's salary is not enough, and the officials can't even make a living, so the gray money below is the acquiescence of the superiors.

When you are in the salt administration, you have ice charcoal money, and when you are in the school administration, you have "shed rules" and "hard work fees", that is, invigilation fees and hard work fees.

Some examiners who write questions can write their own books and sell them to candidates, after all, it involves future question writing.

These are all allowed by the emperor...

It can be said that the academic administration and the examiners are both fat and poor, and they are no more dangerous than "one hundred thousand snowflake silver in Qingzhi county in three years". Everything is safe and even noble.

To select candidates for the imperial court, the examiners of the provincial examinations all asked the emperor to order, but Zhang Tingyu is now walking in the South Study Room, just in time to do this.

He has been in the Imperial Academy for many years, and since the year he won the first prize, he has written a book about Emperor Kangxi's personal conquest of Galdan, and he knows the current Imperial Academy very well.

Kangxi asked Zhang Tingyu to handle this matter, which shows that Kangxi is not a fool.

Zhang Tingyu said: "This year, half of the examiners for the rural examination will be released to the outside world. I will recommend half of them. The senior scholar Li Guangdi of Wenyuan Pavilion will check the names. If there is any objection, we will discuss it again, and finally organize the imperial examinations. ' is."

As he said, he had already pulled up Gu Huai's blood-stained sleeve, and his wrist was still stained with blood.

The handkerchief was soaked in water and got wet, so she only gently wiped her lotus arms.

"This matter is top secret... No one knows that I hold such a great power, so although old friends in the Imperial Academy have asked me about this matter, they haven't come to me to ask for errands. I never thought about it. , this news actually leaked out... Si elder brother actually knew..."

even know.

Everything in the South Study Room is confidential, and Zhang Tingyu seldom reveals it to the outside world.

The things he deals with every day are not small, and now he nominates the chief examiners of the provincial and rural examinations, which can be said to be the talent selection of half of the Qing Dynasty, all in his hands.

"It's too easy to mention Nian Gengyao."

Gu Huaishu also thought to himself that Fourth Master was very scheming, and Yinzhen knew everything she didn't know.

But listening to Zhang Tingyu's words, the most important thing should be how the news was revealed.

"How did you know that I entered the palace and something was going to happen?"

"The one I heard in the South Study Room was Xiao Luzi, the little eunuch next to Eunuch De. But I'm also curious, where did the fourth elder brother prepare the wound medicine for you to come out?" Zhang Tingyu's eyes were slightly cold, and he said, "Poke Concubine Yi was responsible for this incident. I heard people say that you went in in the palace that day, but I have never seen you... At that time, only Zhu Jiangxin and Lin Jiashi had enemies with you in the palace... …So I……"

"You dare not intervene blatantly, and you are not sure whether there is a prince in the middle, and you dare not wander around in the palace. Only Zhu Jiangxin, the granddaughter of the third prince Zhu, can walk around in the palace... So, you make the plan It lured Zhu Jiangxin to look for me, and then turned around to look for Concubine Yi."

When Gu Huaishu heard what Yin Zhen said while standing in the palace road, she had already thought through the matter thoroughly, and she said it calmly.

Zhang Tingyu just lowered his eyes after hearing this: "It's just her bad luck... I didn't intend to kill her..."

But this woman must die.

It's just that he didn't expect that after her death, he was too anxious and forgot that there was such a trouble that could not be dealt with by Concubine Yi.

At that time, there was no other choice, only Yifei had that ability.

Gu Huaishu smiled and said, "Why do you have to be so hypocritical in front of me?"

Zhang Tingyu also smiled: "I'm afraid you will think that I am heartless and ungrateful, and even the woman who admires me, I will be merciless and poisonous..."

I really don't know it's dangerous?
fake.

How could Zhang Tingyu not know that there must be some danger in it?
Even ten Zhu Jiangxins are not worth one finger of his Gu San.

If you die, you die, but Zhang Tingyu?Many rabbits and dead foxes are so sad that they won't even shed a single tear.

After he finished wiping Gu Huaixiu's hands, Shangguanyuan arrived, and Zhang Tingyu gave way to Gu Huaixiu.

When Shangguan Yuan saw Gu Huaixiu's wound, he wondered, "Isn't this my master's unique medicine?"

Gu Huaishu said: "It was brought out from the palace, just look at my wound."

Before Yinzhen said that the medicine came from Sun Zhiding, presumably Sun Lianqiao and Sun Zhiding were very obedient and took refuge with the fourth elder brother.

Shangguanyuan didn't dare to ask any more questions, he only saw that the wound was deep, and he didn't know who was so ruthless, so he brought out two more bottles of wound medicine: "Your wound won't leave a scar in two months, it doesn't matter if you leave a scar or not. Unknown... Anyway, it was broken in the palm of the hand, so it's hard to tell. Looking at the wound, there may be only one good thing..."

Shangguanyuan stroked his beard.

Gu Huaixiu said that he was so unlucky, how could there be any good things?
Zhang Tingyu also looked at Gu Huaixiu's wound, and asked, "What's the good thing?"

Pointing to the lines on the palm of Gu Huai's sleeve, Shangguanyuan said: "Originally, this thread was broken, but today Madam's hand was injured by accident, and a line was pulled out of one palm by this scar... Da Fu Dagui, live a long life."

Gu Huaixiu immediately laughed: "Are you telling a fortune or treating a disease?"

"Sometimes fortune-telling, sometimes healing."

Shangguanyuan gave a rare smile.

He went on to say, "Tell the fortunes of those who are mentally ill, and heal those who are physically ill. Doctors practice medicine only to save people. What's the difference between a doctor with a benevolent heart and fortune-telling to save people?"

It was the first time I heard such a truth.

Gu Huaishu looked at his re-wrapped palm, but thought: Fortunately, it was the right hand that was injured.

The maids took Shangguanyuan out to prescribe prescriptions and paid the consultation fee, then treated him to a good meal and sent him away at night.

Now Zhang Tingyu is helping her with everything in the house. Her hand is hurt and she can't touch the water. He washes her face for her. He even helps her wash her feet and hands her water for washing. Of course, he also helps her in the bath.

At night when he was lying down and sleeping, he held her hand and pressed it to his heart, and said: "Hurry up... After you left today, the emperor talked to me about Nalan Rongruo's "Drinking Water Collection", it is your father." The set that I helped to compile. There are Nalan's words of cherishing people in it. The emperor is missing the queen... The prince was born by the former queen. The emperor is thinking about the old love, and has been turning a blind eye to everything the prince does. One Eye... Now, he has already started to think about it. As long as he thinks about it, there will be more people below who can take advantage of it..."

What's more, he has so many sons who are coveting him?

Although the elder brother is a mediocre person, he is very capable of making trouble;

The fourth elder brother has a vicious mind, he is a poisonous snake dormant beside the prince, just waiting for the prince to show his flaws one day, and he will deliver a fatal blow;
The eighth elder brother has a virtuous name, he smiles gentle and elegant, and wins over countless princes and ministers. Although he was born to a concubine from Xin Zheku, he has his own ambition in his heart;
Although Brother Nine has no ambitions for the throne, after all, Concubine Yi is Guo Luoluo's family, and behind him is a powerful force. He supports Brother Eight, and the matter is even bigger;

The tenth elder brother is the Eighth Master Party, and he is similar to the ninth elder brother, let's not talk about it;
Apart from these people, Elder Brother Thirteen has been in the limelight recently. He is smart and talented. Even Zhang Tingyu would like to praise him, but it's a pity... he belongs to Fourth Master.

The fourteenth master is the fourth master's biological brother, but he is very close to the eighth elder brother, which is even more bizarre...

The royal relationship is extremely complicated.

If the prince falls like this, who will be the next prince?
Zhang Tingyu narrowed his eyes, "Let the prince be ignorant and touch the emperor's bottom line step by step, and eventually he will be forced to abolish the prince..."

Gu Huaishu stopped talking, and only said: "Go to sleep."

Zhang Tingyu nodded and closed his eyes.

After the morning court the next day, everyone was still discussing matters in the South Study Room.

Zhang Tingyu has two notebooks in his hand, the thick one is a list of reviews, revisions, revisions, etc. of the entire Hanlin Academy, and the other thin one is recommended by him The list of the chief and deputy examiners of the rural examinations in each province.

Li Guangdi looked at Zhang Tingyu with emotion, and said: "It was your old father who drafted the list with me back then, and you have only been in the officialdom for two years now, and you are now in the position where your father left for more than [-] years... …The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, after all, you are able to bear it.”

Zhang Tingyu bowed his head and cupped his hands and said: "Master Li is absurdly praised, Tingyu is very ashamed to receive it, but because of the shadow of his father and brother, Tian is in this position. This is the list of nominations for the provincial examination examiners this year. Please have a look at it, Mr. Li." .”

Hearing this, Li Guangdi reached out to take it.

He opened the booklet, and there was a long stack of lists, one examiner and two examiners, not counting the house officials of the provincial and general examinations.

The names of nearly a hundred people were written on it, and Li Guangdi looked at them one by one, and did not stop when he scanned Nian Gengyao.

In the end, he only crossed out two names, and said: "These two people have been reprimanded by the emperor, and they will definitely not be able to pass. The rest have no problems, and they will pass the exam after three days. Those who pass are sent out, and the exam questions are still the same. Come out from the South Study Room. I will present the list to the emperor, you have worked hard."

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your reminder."

These people who were promoted by Zhang Tingyu should have no problem with their knowledge, but after all, Zhang Tingyu didn't spend as much time with the emperor as Li Guangdi, and he didn't know the emperor's likes and dislikes clearly enough, so there were omissions.Now that Li Guangdi blotted out the names of these two people, it was to support him. Zhang Tingyu was not bad, so he naturally respected Li Guangdi.

Li Guang looked at Zhang Tingyu, but felt that such a person was really rare.

The number one scholar in high school entered the Hanlin Academy and studied Qingshu with those who were born as Jinshi. He worked hard without arrogance or impetuosity, and finally made it through. Now he is an important minister as soon as he enters the job, and he quickly gained the emperor's trust, but still I don't see any impetuousness in him He is arrogant and arrogant, always open-minded, with a broad mind and strategic insight, just like the prime minister in the future.

At the beginning of May, the examinations were over, and Nian Gengyao was released as the chief examiner of the provincial examination in Sichuan Province, and he will take up his post immediately.

Among the large list of examiners for the rural examination, Zhang Tingyu was not alone.

Originally, Li Guangdi thought that the emperor would give him the most important examiner of the Shuntian Township Examination, but he never thought that there was nothing.

Zhang Tingyu was still walking in the South Study Room of the fourth rank, and immediately made everyone in the court speculate endlessly, and they couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking.

Only Zhang Tingyu himself understood that the emperor naturally hated him when he said those words in the palace.

While relying heavily on Zhang Tingyu's talent, at the same time suppressing him, so as to teach him the ability of the emperor.

Zhang Tingyu waited for his orders in a regular manner, and when all the provinces and township examinations were passed in September, a new round of court turmoil came——

In the 44th year of Kangxi, the provincial examination ended, and the court struggled over who would be the president of the next year's examination.

The crown prince, the eighth elder brother, the eldest elder brother...

Each proposed their own candidates.

Eight Lord Yinhu is well-known among the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. He strongly recommends members of his own party to win over the scholars of modern science. After all, there are many people from him in the Imperial Academy, and no one will dislike him powerful.

And the fourth elder brother Yinzhen was just like watching a play, watching the crowd scrambling with cold eyes, without saying a word.

For the matter of who will be the president of the examination, Kangxi watched the drama under the court for several days. Today the minister came out to say who is good, and tomorrow the minister came out to say who should never be the president... one person after another , jumping right under Kangxi's nose.

He watched these people jumping for decades, and the jumping people have changed from batch to batch. There are always a few familiar ones, but they still don't like jumping.

So Kangxi asked casually: "Li Guangdi, why don't you go?"

The Manchu civil and military debates were fierce just now, but now they all feel like they have been slapped in the face.

Li Guangdi again?
How old is this old man, and his eyesight is dizzy!
The most important thing is that everyone knows that Li Guangdi is an imperialist!As the chief executive, he didn't even have the chance to compromise and fight for each other!
No, no, Li Guangdi no!
Immediately, countless people euphemistically said that Li Guangdi has been in office many times, and that Li Guangdi is also old...

Many rhetoric can be described as extravagant hype, belittling Li Guangdi while at the same time throwing out the candidate he had prepared.

It's just pity that Li Guangdi is so old, but he still has to be pulled out by these people to compare with the younger generations. Hearing what these people said, Li Guangdi can only shake his head and sigh, what's the matter!

Damn, do you ever curse people like this?

Dare to call me Lao Li?

It looks good with you!
Old boy Li Guangdi, he had already figured out what the emperor was thinking. At this moment, the old god was on the ground, deliberately not speaking, and when those shrimp soldiers, crab generals, ghosts and snake gods were almost jumping around, Li Guangdi cleared his throat: "Qi Playing to the emperor, as your lords have said, the old minister has been deeply favored by the emperor, and has presided over the examination many times. Now his eyes are dim, and there is no guarantee that Jiang Chenying's case will not happen again. Therefore, I ask the emperor to withdraw his order and seek another He chooses."

"The civil and military officials of the whole dynasty have already mentioned who they can speak to. Is there anyone else that you, Mr. Li, can't choose?" Kangxi asked Li Guangdi with an unhappy expression.

Li Guangdi bowed: "There is just one person who is the most suitable. He is young, promising and knowledgeable, so he won't be as stupid as an old minister."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, what an old man Li, you are cheating us!

Who doesn't know that you are the emperor's confidant, what you say is what the emperor means!

Mother, if you say that, do we dare to refute it?

Tell me, do you still dare? !

Let no one live!

All of a sudden, countless people scolded Li Guangdi, but they could only hold back a mouthful of blood, waiting to hear who this person was.

Grandpa Kangxi pretended to be curious and asked, "Oh? Who else hasn't mentioned it?"

He glanced at Zhang Tingyu standing aside, with his hands in front of him, as if staying out of the way.

Then, Li Guangdi bowed and said loudly, "This person is Master Zhang Tingyu."

In an instant, all eyes focused on Zhang Tingyu.

Zhang Tingyu lifted his eyelids, as if nothing happened.

He thought to himself that these ministers had been chattering and quarreling for half a month. For the position of the chief examiner of the examination, they almost sharpened their heads. The fight was bloody and spit...

The forces among the elder brothers compete with each other, and there is internal friction with each other, and I don't know how many people are jealous of each other.

But in the end, Zhang Tingyu's head was suddenly covered by Li Guangdi, the name of the chief executive officer who fell from the sky, and countless people were pissed off!

What Li Guang said must be what the emperor thought!
How many days has this Zhang Tingyu stood silently aside?
How many days has it been?

The chief examiner of the township examination lost him, and heard that his wife was disgusted by the emperor, so he thought he would not be able to get up, and even at such a big court meeting, he could only behave with his tail between his legs and dare not say a word.

Who thought?
Who would have thought!

It's not that they don't talk, they pretend to be pigs and eat tigers!
Watching us jump around for a few days like watching monkeys!

Too much deception, Zhang Tingyu and Li Guangdi, old and young, too much deception!
I don't know how many colleagues are going to vomit blood today, Zhang Tingyu is thinking about preparing a few catties of pork liver, and sending them to the colleagues' residence?
