Yan Chengjin wanted to say a few good words for Zhang Cong.

Zhang Gong was smart since childhood, but his journey to the imperial examination was bumpy. He failed to pass the imperial examination even though he was almost fifty years old, but he was promoted to become the chief minister of the cabinet.

He defeated Yang Tinghe.

Yang Shen took the bricks and a group of ministers to block him at Zuoshun Gate. He chased him from the east gate to the west, but he didn't even touch the corner of Zhang Huo's clothes. In the end, Yang Shen and the group of officials were so angry that they were about to explode.

He scolded Zhu Houzhao and the Supreme Emperor, but was not beheaded. He believed that Zhang Gong and Liu Jin were lucky enough to be protected.

If there is a Time Weekly in the Ming Dynasty, he wouldn't even read the cover if it was not Zhang Cong.

"The Supreme Emperor does not allow me to plead for mercy, but I really think that this scholar is a talent."

The Supreme Emperor's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Zhang Chong for a few more times.

Their breathing became a little bit worse, and this kid was fooling people here again.

Zhang Gong looked at the official next to him. This man wearing a crane robe and looking a few years younger than him was actually a first-rank official in the court!

He, he just saw that person in the carriage.

He...is Yan Chengjin.

The Grand Secretary who rarely reveals news in the court does not accept disciples.

The Adam's apple couldn't help but slide up and down. After two provincial exams, he failed the exams. Today he had the opportunity to meet the emperor and the ministers and show his talents. He might be able to enter the official career.

It is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get the guidance of the great scholars present!

"Students are in Liangxiang and insulting the new emperor is true. How can a piece of paper be used to test a truly talented person? It is difficult for the slaughter of the Dragon and Phoenix Chu to use their skills when encountering the eight-legged essay.

The student failed the provincial examination twice before he spoke rudely.”

The faces of the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi and the Lords were calmer.

Dare to admit that he has committed a crime, he is a straightforward and sincere person.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi said: "I scold the new emperor just because of this?"

What he wanted to know was whether there were any bad policies in the world that he did not know so that he could correct them in a timely manner.

The scholar failed the exam twice, which was because one person’s fortune and ability were not enough to show that the rules of the Ming Dynasty were incorrect.

But the dukes thought so and insulted the court just because of something.

It shows that this person is narrow-minded and cannot enter the court to become an official, so it is better to send him back to his hometown immediately.

The scholar Zhang Gong knelt in the hall, neither humble nor deceived.

"A student is famous in the village at the age of thirteen. He dare not say that he is the best in the capital, but he is no worse than his fellow villagers. But as he wishes, the student is not out of the rankings. Why?"

There was a sense of sympathy in the hall.

The fellow townsman passed the exam, but he failed, which is even worse than his passing exam.

Is this a scholar's problem?

No, it is a problem with the imperial examination system.

The faces of the princes showed hesitation, and the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi pursed his lips, and the light flashed a few times in his eyes.

Yan Chengjin lowered his head and failed the exam twice?

That is to say, there are five more times.

In history, Zhang Gong became an official in his later years, just like having a son in his old age. He cherished the opportunity to become an official.

So after becoming an official, Zhang Juzheng was very influenced by him, and the one-whip method also came from here.

Zhu Houzhao said: "What's your fellow countryman's name?

Thinking that Zhu Houzhao didn't believe it, Zhang Gong raised his eyes slightly and said, "His name is Xiao Zhen."

"I asked him to retake the exam, why do you have to scold me?"

Zhang Cong: "..."

Lords: "…"

Seeing that everyone's attention seemed to have changed.

Zhang Gong lowered his head again, as if immersed in the sadness.

"The students have something to be angry about. There are so many hungry people in the world, but the court gave the money to the Tang and Song dynasties, and was unwilling to enrich the granaries everywhere.

Since the Chenghua Dynasty, granaries in various places have been vacant until now."

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi stood up and walked in some.

"Distribution of relief grain from Taicang can also help the people of the world."

"Taicang is in the capital. If a natural disaster occurs in Guangzhou Prefecture and one million stones of grain is transported to Guangzhou Prefecture, how much can there be left?

The government exploited it layer by layer, like peeling off a cocoon.

Whenever you go to a prefecture, you have to manage local officials. If you pass by the fiefs of the vassal kings, you have to take off a layer of skin.

The Supreme Emperor, I'm afraid I don't know?"

Zhang Gong suddenly raised his head and looked at the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi's pupils shrank suddenly, and the relief money and grain were transported to the south. What happened?

No one came to report the memorial he had read.

At this moment, I still don't believe it.

"What you said has the certificate?"

"The student insulted the new emperor, and the head of the Xiang Shang was not safe. Why should the dying person lie?"

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi looked up at the dukes beside him in shock, but saw Cui Yan bowing his head slightly, and suddenly realized that no one came to report to him.

"Yan...Yan Qing's family, do you know about this?"

Yan Chengjin thought about it, which dynasty would have such a good thing?

Although I knew it, it was inevitable. There were too many reasons for eating money and food. I was robbed by a horse thief and sank a little across the canal. The servants' appetite was too big...

"I haven't heard of it."

If such a thing breaks out, he will naturally investigate thoroughly.

But the Censorate did not report any comments, and there were three reasons he analyzed.

First, he was not greedy for much, and within the normal range of losses, so the censor evaluated normally and did not report it. Second, he did it secretly and quickly. Before the censor thoroughly investigated, the money and grain were provided to the people. Third, the censor and officials were in the same flow.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi was a little panting and an angry look appeared on his face.

"How much will it be lost from transporting from north to south?"

"The students don't know either, maybe 30% or 50% or 70% or 80% or 70% or 80%."

...

Half an hour later, outside the Meridian Gate.

Zhang Gong followed the little eunuch out of the palace, feeling secretly glad that he kept wiping the fine sweat on his forehead.

What a bad luck!

[Receive red envelopes after reading books] Follow the official account [Book Friends Camp] Go to the highest cash red envelope for reading books!

It seems that in the future, I can only scold Zhu Houzhao in my dream.

"Eunuch Xie, I hope my father-in-law will not refuse these two taels of silver."

Yan Chengjin stood in the distance and saw this action... nodded with satisfaction.

After getting out of trouble, he had no luck in surviving the disaster, and remained steady and vigilant, and was worthy of being a master who turned the tables against the wind.

He Neng Xiao jogged over and said to Zhang Cong: "Come here, my young master wants to see you."

Zhang Gong wiped the sweat from his forehead and was about to go to Jinfuji to eat a bowl of big beef noodles, which was shocking.

But he saw a blue sedan chair parked not far away, which was extremely simple and simple.

Although I changed my sedan chair, the sedan chair bearer and the servant both looked familiar.

"Mr. Yan is looking for a student?"

"What is your dream?"

How could I feel proud of this? The young master hasn't said this for a long time. If he says these words, the scholar in front of him will be dead.

Zhang Gong hesitated for a moment and asked in surprise: "What is a dream?"

Why can you come forward? She smiled softly and said, "It's your ambition!"

It turns out to be an ambition.

Zhang Gong thought about it and quickly bowed.

"Students want to become officials the first to be the official, to remove illegitimate officials from all over the world, rectify bad policies, and to bring peace to the people forever. They will do something in their lifetime!"
