Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 184 Imperial Examination Questions
"Send a letter to Qiu Ju and let him figure it out."

In the case of the Sun Moon Academy, the common people are just the prelude to the storm, and the Confucian scholars all over the country will be the real trouble.

However, Zhu Houzhao was not in a hurry, holding the trump card of the Confucian family, Confucian scholars, it's just a trivial matter, they dare to challenge the imperial power, how can they still be enemies of the Confucian family.

As a Confucian scholar, he doesn't even take the descendants of the sage Confucius seriously, so what qualifications do he have to call himself a disciple of the sage.

Zhu Houzhao made the right move in order to make the scholars of the world rely on the Confucius family.

Kong Wenshao did not dare to disobey his orders, unless Kong Wenshao was tired of life and wanted to die. Qiu Ju was not a good talker, and he would kill people and destroy his family at every turn. If Kong Wenshao wanted to live, he could only let Zhu Houzhao manipulate him.

"Yes"

Liu Jin honestly acted as a messenger.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Liang Chuliang, please see me."

At this time, a young eunuch ran in and whispered in Liu Jin's ear twice, and Liu Jin hurried forward to report that it was Liang Chu who was preparing for the imperial examination.

"Proclaim"

Without raising his head, Zhu Houzhao said, the stroke of his pen brushed across the memorial at high speed, already knowing Liang Chu's purpose in his heart.

"The old minister sees His Majesty."

"no!"

"Give a seat."

"Aiqing came to see me in a hurry, why?"

Zhu Hou asked knowingly.

He had already guessed the purpose of Liang Chu's visit, but he didn't intend to tell the truth. The emperor had to maintain a sense of mystery, and the courtiers also needed to prove their abilities. It would be boring to tell the truth about some things.

"The imperial examination is about to begin. The veteran has discussed with several academicians for many days, but they have not been able to draw up the main examination topic. I am here to ask His Majesty what the main examination topic should be for this examination."

Liang Chu didn't have the stink of literati who like to beat around the bush, and he was straightforward.

"The subject of the main exam?"

Zhu Houzhao tapped his fingers on the table case, he had several choices in his heart, but he still couldn't make up his mind, which one should be chosen as the main examination topic of the imperial examination.

After pondering over and over again, he directly picked up a pen and wrote two big characters on the paper: Tianxia.

Taking the world as the test question, it tests the views and opinions of many scholars on the world, the country, the government, and people's livelihood.

What he needs is a talented person with real skills, not just a waste of flamboyant rhetoric but no real talent.

"With the theme of the world, Your Majesty is very bold."

Zhu Houzhao's handwriting was quite satisfactory, not to mention any master's work, but Liang Chu still had a very surprised expression, and praised Zhu Houzhao greatly.

The emperor can not care about some things, but the courtiers can't lose their eyesight.

After many capable people enter the officialdom, they gradually disappear from the public, but they don't know how to be a human being. For those in high positions, ability is very important, and vision is also indispensable.

Without one of them, one cannot go far in officialdom.

"what"

Zhu Houzhao smiled, and he was quite happy to be praised by Liang Chu, a Confucian master with profound knowledge.

Everyone likes to hear good things, and he is no exception.

"In this big exam, there are talented people with outstanding knowledge. Aiqing may wish to talk about it, so that I can come and see the demeanor of my great Ming talents on the day of the big exam."

"Although there are talents, I'm afraid His Majesty will not like them."

Liang Chu thought for a while, then hesitated.

"Since the students who come to take the imperial examination, I should treat them equally. It's okay for Ai Qing to speak frankly."

Zhu Houzhao frowned slightly, curious in his heart, who is it that would make Liang Chu look up to his knowledge and at the same time feel that he would dislike him.

"Jiangnan talent, Tang Yin and Tang Bohu."

Liang Chu said with a rather helpless expression.

"It was him."

Zhu Houzhao's face immediately changed when he heard the words, just as Liang Chu thought, he really didn't like this person for no other reason, but because he was too slutty.

Tang Yin and Tang Bohu, together with Zhu Yunming, Wen Weiming, and Xu Zhenqing, are called the four great talents in Wuzhong. Naturally, they have knowledge, and they are extremely good. They are both excellent in poetry and painting, and have outstanding talents.

But being a human being is like that. In the 12th year of Hongzhi, he was involved in the fraud case of Xu Jing's examination room. After he was convicted and imprisoned, he lost his aggressiveness.

Zhu Houzhao really didn't like Tang Yin very much. A man can fail and fall, as long as he can stand up, he is a real man, a great husband.

Like Tang Yin, after experiencing a little setbacks, he becomes depressed, addicted to drinking and sex, and lives absurdly.

"Didn't Tang Yin already have fame and fame, why did he come to participate in the scientific examination?"

Zhu Houzhao pretended to be confused, pretending to be ignorant, thinking that Tang Yin would be brushed away before the big exam started, so as not to waste his expression in the palace exam later.

With Tang Yin's talent and knowledge, he stood out among many students, and it was almost a certainty to enter the palace examination, but Zhu Houzhao didn't want to see him.

"Your Majesty forgot that although Tang Yin has fame and fame, before he was involved in the fraud case in Xu Jing's examination room, he only participated in the provincial examination held by Ying Tianfu, and his results in that year's general examination were also cancelled. He is eligible to participate in the grand examination. "

"The old minister knows that His Majesty has always disliked this son Tang Yin, but this son's talent is indeed extraordinary, I implore His Majesty to give him a chance."

Liang Chu and Zhu Houzhao played sloppy eyes, knowing that Zhu Houzhao didn't like Tang Yin, wanted to brush Tang Yin away, but also spoke for Tang Yin, and admired Tang Yin extremely.

"Being frivolous, dissolute, and indulging in sex, such a person, even if he is talented, so what, what I want is a man who governs the world, not a waste who can only exile himself."

Zhu Houzhao sneered and said: "If I remember correctly, Tang Yin lost his enthusiasm for the imperial examination after Xu Jing's fraud case in the imperial examination, and now he comes to participate in the imperial examination again. Why, he regained his aggressiveness!"

This is the real reason why Zhu Houzhao is not happy with Tang Yin.

His good friend Xu Jing cheated in the examination field. He lost his aggressiveness after only being imprisoned. Who do you think you are again?

As an ordinary person, if you get involved in the imperial examination fraud case, even ten heads are not enough to cut off, but because the court loves his talent, Tang Yin was lucky enough to get his life back. So-called.

"Your Majesty's reforms and forging ahead, let Tang Yin see a different court, so..."

Liang Chu tried his best to help Tang Yin say good things, and opened up Zhu Houzhao's way here, so that Tang Yin could enter the officialdom again. Otherwise, based on Tang Yin's past actions, not to mention Zhu Houzhao, even the ministers of the court would try their best to prevent Tang Yin from entering. Shi, but he was interrupted by Zhu Houzhao before he finished speaking.

"So, that's why he thinks that the fraud case of Xu Jing's examination room had something else hidden."

Zhu Houzhao's face was filled with disgust, and his tone was cold,

In addition to Tang Yin's frivolous and unrestrained behavior, he also has a bad habit of being self-righteous, Xu Jing cheated in the examination room, and the evidence of the crime is solid, but he still thinks that Xu Jing was framed by others.

My friend, I know that this person's thinking is very similar to the Donglin Party's "I think, I think, everything is the truth", and this kind of thinking happens to be what Zhu Houzhao hates the most.
