Chongzhen Undergraduates

If he hadn't been concerned about Shi Kefa's reputation and Zuo Maodi's qualifications, he would have directly given Zuo Maodi the position of Minister of War.

Turning around, Zhu Youjian came to Zuo Maodi's side. Zuo Maodi had a stubborn temper and was eating dumplings.When the emperor came to his side, he didn't feel too excited, and he still went his own way.

"Zuo Aiqing, I have a place, I wonder if you dare to go?"

"Where? I dare to go anywhere." After Zuo Maodi finished speaking, he stuffed another dumpling into his mouth and said while eating, "Your Majesty, I haven't eaten this morning. This dumpling is so delicious. Do you have any more?" ?”

"Hahaha!" Zhu Youjian laughed, almost crying.

"Also, bring another bowl to Mr. Zuo. The emperor doesn't send hungry soldiers. There are plenty of dumplings today. If any Aiqing is not full, just ask the prince for it." Zhu Youjian's words were timely and timely I laughed at all the people in the Hall of Martial Arts.

"I have a side room in Jiangjunshan. I want you to live with me. Is it possible?" Zhu Youjian had no more dumplings on his plate, so he took another plate and lowered his head to bite one, never leaving Zuo Maodi's eyes. .

Zuo Maodi thought for a while, and said seriously: "I heard that the emperor has a new learning, but he doesn't let the minister learn it, and the minister can't bear it..."

Before Zuo Maodi finished speaking, Zhu Youjian stuffed a dumpling into his mouth.Zhu Youjian took a look from the corner of his eye. Fortunately, Zuo Maodi's voice was low, and the people next to him didn't listen carefully.

"Xiu Mu took your bedroll and looked for Wang Cheng'en." Zhu Youjian fled in a hurry. Zuo Maodi was too straightforward, but he liked it very much.

Chapter 1 Seventeen: Desires Are Hard to Satisfy

Zhu Youjian's dumpling court meeting, most people are happy.

Even a Donglin boss like Qian Qianyi was full of joy and satisfaction.

However, in Donglin, there are still some people who are not happy.There are too many people in Donglin, and those who don't become officials are destined to be unhappy.

The entire Donglin wished that every position in the Nanjing court would belong to them, but even so, there was still no way to arrange for each of them.

What's more, Zhu Youjian also arranged for non-Donglin people like Ma Shiying to be in high positions.

Zhu Youjian's new cabinet, like a blockbuster, quickly exploded in Jiangnan.It was an originally quiet New Year, but this bomb made the entire Jiangnan uneasy.

"God is unfair! I, Hou Fangyu, have the heart to serve the country, but I don't even give a single low-level sesame official. A group of mediocrity, the corpse is a vegetarian, the corpse is a vegetarian!"

During the Chinese New Year, in Meixiang Building, Hou Fangyu got drunk again.

Drink alone, and get drunk alone; only a few jars of old wine are accompanied, but the beautiful woman ignores it.Li Xiangjun looked at his man who kept pouring, and wept sadly.

"Sir, don't worry. It is said that the imperial court is about to open a department. When you arrive at the examination room, you can show off your talents..."

Li Xiangjun felt that he was very useless. Years ago, he tried to speak well for Hou Fangyu in front of Chen Yuanyuan many times, but he failed.

Since that gathering, Chen Yuanyuan obviously couldn't leave behind closed doors, but Kou Baimen and the others were occasionally invited into the palace by Chen Yuanyuan.

I haven't even received an invitation post.

"You also came to see my jokes, didn't you? It's all because of you that you failed to seize such a good opportunity. Quietly, he, Qian Qianyi, was both a minister and a member of the cabinet. The emperor actually took care of him for the third time." .

You've also seen that now that Qian Qianyi is frightened in front of everyone, do I still have the face to go out? "

After Hou Fangyu finished speaking, he took a few more gulps of wine, his face was already red and black, a little black and shiny.

"Brother Chaozong, why are you drinking alone at home on this beautiful day? Why don't you invite us to join us?"

Just as Hou Fangyu was getting acquainted with Li Xiangjun, a familiar voice sounded outside the door.Li Xiangjun got up immediately, and greeted Hou Fangyu in a very virtuous manner. It is the first lunar month, and the guests must come.

Sure enough, that familiar voice was Hou Fangyu's friend: Jia Kaizong.Moreover, this time not only Jia Kaizong, but also the entire "Six Sons of Xueyuan": Jia Kaizong, Song Luo, Xu Zuosu, Xu Lintang, Xu Shichen.

"Jia Jingzi (Jia Kaizong's words), are you here to see my joke?" Hou Fangyu felt that whoever he met now felt that the other party meant to read his joke.

"Brother Chao Zong was joking, we are here to give you New Year's greetings!" Jia Kaizong said, while staying for everyone to salute Li Xiangjun and offer New Year's greetings gifts by the way.

"Young masters, please sit down, and I will prepare some food and wine." Li Xiangjun hurriedly returned the gift, and also went to help Hou Fangyu save face.

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law." Jia Kaizong was very envious of Hou Fangyu, and couldn't help but look at Li Xiangjun a few more times. From the bottom of his heart, there is nothing dissatisfied in marrying such a daughter-in-law in Daming.

Soon, a sumptuous table of food and wine was served, and several handsome young masters were seated, and Hou Fangyu took the main seat without hesitation.

"Tell me, what's the matter today?" Hou Fangyu poured a glass of hot wine on his own, ignoring other people.Hou Fangyu is known as the Four Young Masters in the late Ming Dynasty. He is not only the leader of Fushe, he is also the leader in the entire "Xueyuan Society".

All along, Hou Fangyu was very arrogant, he felt that the remaining few were his younger brothers, and he probably didn't take others seriously.

"Brother Chaozong, have you carefully thought about what the emperor said in court on the first day of the new year?" Jia Kaizong was also used to Hou Fangyu's arrogance, who would let him have a good father.

"What did you say?" Hou Fangyu didn't pay attention, and just took a sip with his head up. After drinking the hot wine, his face became a little more red.

"Houjin said that the one who holds the national weapon should be the emperor, but our emperor said that the people are the national weapon. Brother Chaozong, great talent, have you never thought about what the real national weapon is?"

Jia Kaizong looked at Hou Fangyu playfully. At the same time, several other people also stared at him. Even Li Xiangjun, who was hiding aside, pricked up his ears.Such words are probably only dared to be spoken at home, and of course, they are also very attractive.

"What do you mean? Tell me what you have to say." Hou Fangyu was taken aback for a moment, but Jia Kaizong obviously had something in his words, but deliberately teased him.

"Brother Chao Zong is so smart, don't you know that the real national weapon is actually us scholars?"

The reason why scholars of the Ming Dynasty study is not to be an official.Officials are the core force supporting a regime.Don't look at talking about benevolence, justice and morality all day long. In fact, SLR is a bit thoughtful. Who doesn't know what superficial writing is.

"Look at our emperor, now he is either tossing about strange skills, or not following the ancestral system to reuse his confidantes, completely ignoring the ancestral temple of the country. Why is the national weapon still facing him?"

Don't look at Jia Kaizong's mere sentence, but it hit the hearts of this group of people at once.After Zhu Youjian came to Nandu, he didn't follow the routine procedures at all in the arrangement of officials, and he could use whoever he wanted.

This was the most depressing thing for Hou Fangyu. He used to think that old guys like Qian Qianyi were not inferior to him. Later, even Chen Zilong and Fang Yizhi were reused by Zhu Youjian.

Hou Fangyu had a hundred dissatisfaction in his heart!He even wondered if Zhu Youjian was as good as Long Yang?If that's the case, he, Hou Fangyu, doesn't mind going into the palace to take off his clothes immediately.

When people are frustrated, the only thing they expect is a so-called fair game.This is especially true for Hou Fangyu, a proud man who cries for fairness in his heart.

"This is a treacherous minister who is messing up the court!"

The few present here have not yet dared to say that Zhu Youjian's national weapon has been lost. At this time, the most courageous thing is to say that there are treacherous officials who have harmed the country.

"Isn't it? If you don't act in accordance with the ancestral system at all, there must be a treacherous minister who misled the emperor. In my opinion, this treacherous minister is Ma Shiying and his like."

At the wine table, some people began to button their hats indiscriminately on the spot.First of all, the hat will not be pinned on people with a big background like Shi Kefa, but Ma Shiying can only be pointed at.

"Brother Chaozong, do you understand now? We have to fight for ourselves. If this continues, you and I have no ambition to serve the country, but we have no way to serve the country."

What a glamorous and majestic principle, always using the family, the country and the world as an excuse, but the actual meaning is just to say: If we don't make troubles, we will not be able to be officials.

"Boom!" Hou Fangyu, who was half sober, slammed his fist on the table, and said viciously, "We need to contact more scholars, and we all ask for orders together. We must let the emperor know about the traitors, and Da Ming will be fair."

"Yes! You can't do it arbitrarily, we want the imperial examination, and we want to restore the ancestral system."

The remaining few people also seemed to be excited, each and every one of them was impassioned.Li Xiangjun hid behind the screen, already excited by these young people.A young heart is most likely to be inspired by passionate things.

Poor Zhu Youjian, he thinks he has taken care of Donglin and the scholars in Jiangnan, but unfortunately, people's hearts can never be satisfied.

Desires are hard to satisfy!
