Zhu Houzhao was wearing a gorgeous outfit, and then approached her and walked around Zhang Gong, smiling:

"Would you like to be my son?"

"???" Zhang Cong.

If I could inherit the country, of course I would like to do it.

But this sounds like a test. If you agree, you may be kicked out of the capital.

"Students dare not, this will bring in infamy to the new emperor."

Zhang Cong was nervous. He heard that Zhu Houzhao liked castrated people. Although he had already started a family, he did not want to be castrated.

Zhu Houzhao will revenge his grudges, and he may not be able to leave the capital safely.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao's eyes became serious, "If you fail to pass the top scorer, I will let you kill me."

"...This top scorer is too difficult. A villain can't even pass the exam for a juren?" Zhang Gong complained in his heart.

Yan Chengjin did not dissuade Zhu Houzhao's ideas were not something he could control.

"If you are really killed by me, it means you are not a lucky person." Zhu Houzhao said indifferently.

Take the bag from Gu Dayong and throw it to Zhang Gong.

It is mid-April now, and there is still April before the autumn examination, which is enough for Zhang Gong to hold his thighs temporarily.

...

Toothing, collapsed house.

Zhang Gong took Yan Chengjin's manuscript into the house.

Scholars like to read books in a pure manner, so there are only two people living in this collapsed house. When another scholar saw Zhang Chong come back, he quickly got up and bowed.

"Brother Bingyong has not returned yet, can you eat?"

"Oh, I don't have time to eat. Brother Gongjin, come and see it. This is a manuscript given by a great scholar. Maybe I will take this exam this year."

Zhang Gong closed all the windows of the house before he was eager to spread the manuscript on the desk.

Xia Yan leaned over and took a few glances. He turned out to be the top scorer in the provincial examinations and the imperial examinations in previous years, as well as the test questions.

He is also a candidate who failed the exam.

I felt a little complicated when I saw these answers.

"Brother Bingyong, where did you get these?"

Zhu Houzhao gave it to him, but who could get such an answer except him? Zhang Gong looked at the window and whispered: "The new emperor gave it to him."

"New...new emperor!"

Xia Yan looked at Zhang Cong in disbelief.

This man was in a poor and miserable state. After meeting him in Liangxiang, he kept sticking to himself to eat and drink. How could he meet the new emperor?

"Really...really?"

"I won't tell you anymore. Look, after the provincial examination, the examination will not be far away." Zhang Gong quickly seized the time to recite it.

………

Zhu Houzhao issued an order to add more than 120 granaries in prefectures and counties in the world.

The court used silver to purchase chestnut rice and grain from the people.

Parents and officials from all over the country filed a complaint from the Ministry of Revenue for silver, but Wang Qiong hesitated: "The court cannot allocate enough at once, and we still have to wait for the spices to be transported to the capital."

This time, there will be more spices shipped from the Tang and Song dynasties than the last time.

There are hundreds of prefectures, prefectures, counties and counties in the world, and many warehouses need to be repaired, which is a considerable amount of money.

Return to the East Palace and close the door.

"Wang Shouren's secret letter is back." Yan Chengjin pulled out an envelope from his chest.

Zhu Houzhao waited for many days, looking anxious.

Four Franc cannons were sent.

If he can't beat Ottoman in this way, he will go to the Tang and Song dynasties to personally fight.

"Lao Gao, do you have a map?"

"The new emperor is thinking about nothing?" Yan Chengjin couldn't help but curse.

"..." Zhu Houzhao.

Yan Cheng brought this secret letter into the palace, taking huge risks.

Usually after reading it, he would burn the letter immediately and verbally tell Zhu Houzhao, but when he thought that this guy might not believe it, he brought the secret letter into the palace.

After a while, he felt relieved when he saw Zhu Houzhai burning with his own eyes.

"Without a map, how do I know where I've hit?"

Yan Chengjin walked to the imperial desk, drew a bent figure of a man, and then drew a dot on the edge, "This is what Wang Shouren said about the Basra Port."

The Ottoman royal city Istanbul is still a distance of 108,000 miles away.

When Zhu Houzhao saw that the fool had not spent his money in vain, she couldn't help but feel happy: "How much more money do you want?"

"I don't know that if Liu Jin could find the Golden State, there would be no shortage of silver."

Zhu Houzhao stared at the map for a long time.

Yan Chengjin tore it, threw it into the brazier beside him, then took out the fire stick from the lamp stand, and looked at the picture burning.

In early May, the capital was getting hotter.

The court began to select the chief examiners of the provincial examination.

Although the number of scholars has increased, the number of admitted students has almost remained unchanged.

This tests the examiner's question-setting skills, so the Grand Secretary is probably paired with officials from six departments.

After thinking carefully for a few days, the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "You come and make an appointment."

Zhu Houzhao wanted to grant Yan Chengjin his imperial decree, so he said, "Then let me and Lao Gao come."

In this way, Zhang Gong can always pass the exam, right?

"The emperor cannot preside over the provincial examination, so please choose another person for the new emperor." Li Dongyang's face was serious.

Yan Chengjin felt a little moved. He didn't want to be locked in the tribute court for several days, but Zhu Houzhao obviously wanted to cheat him.

"I want to expose the sacrificial evidence."

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang all looked over.

"I have a private relationship with Zhang Gong. Although I am not a teacher-student relationship, I have given him some advice and cannot serve as the chief examiner."

Mao Ji, Minister of Rites, nodded. This is indeed inconvenient.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi looked up and asked, "What are you going to expose?"

"The Xinhuang gave Zhang Cai the questions of the provincial examinations and the provincial examinations over the years, as well as the answer sheets of Jie Yuan and Hui Yuan." Yan Chengjin said

This is also for Zhang Hui. If Zhang Hui is said to be a sales title, Zhu Houzhao will be cheated by him.

For a moment, the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi felt itchy.

Li Dongyang raised his eyes slightly and looked at Zhu Houzhao. The new emperor handed over the answer sheet to the candidates. It was not counted as selling questions, but who knows if he gave it to something else?

All the time, all the Dukes were afraid that Zhu Houzhao would cause trouble for the imperial examination.

This is a major event for the imperial court to recruit scholars, and it cannot be said to be a joke.

Zhu Houzhao didn't care when he heard Yan Chengjin say this.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi said: "Then the Mao Qing family of the Ministry of Rites and the Zhang Qing family of the Ministry of Personnel."

...

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi walked out of the side hall, but after a few steps, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Wang Xian, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War who was rushing towards him.

"My minister, Wang Xian, see the Supreme Emperor."

"What's the matter?"

"Duke Ding broke out of Gansu, advanced all the way into Tubo, and led his army into the territory of the Turks."

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, who asked him to send troops?

Wang Xian continued: "Fortunately, the victory was great, but the new emperor once said that he would calculate his military merits. How can you see the Supreme Emperor?"

If military merits are counted, Xu Guangzuo's two sons can be granted the imperial title, at least the hundreds of households in the Jinyiwei.

But his son was not an official, and the court did not ask him to take two civilians to the war.

Besides, it was not the imperial court to go out of seclusion to kill the Turks.

After reading the memorial, the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi was slightly stunned.

Wang Xian continued: "A military general cannot be granted titles without military merit. Military merits are divided into different categories such as capturing alive, beheading, leading the way, and extraordinary merits. They can also be divided into local difficulties, temporary times, and urgent matters, and the severity of the matter cannot be generalized."

If the enemy surrounds the capital and can cut off the head, this is a magical achievement in special circumstances.

Those who want to be awarded a title.

But Duke Ding went to others for no reason to kill people. This is not true in terms of priorities and even a crime is considered.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "Burn this victory."
