Domineering Daming

The soldiers lined up into a wall with their spears erected, blocking the scholars firmly.

That's not to mention, these people tried every means to enter the tribute courtyard, erected ladders, climbed over the wall, drilled holes, etc., five hundred soldiers blocked from left to right, seemed stretched.

In the examiner's class room, there was a gloomy cloud.

The chief examiner was Qian Qianyi, and there were other inspections, examination papers, rolling shutters, etc., all gathered here, and their eyes fell on Qian Qianyi from time to time.

If the scientific examination failed this time, they would also be unlucky, but Qian Qianyi's position was high and powerful, and he was an imperial envoy, and with so many soldiers guarding him, they dared not speak up and waited for his solution.

Qian Qianyi's face sank like water, flipping through the documents in his hand, his eyes flickered non-stop.

Taking a gamble, he drove out all the scholars who were in the ban, and he was out of anger, but now he is a little bit hard to get off.

Gu Yanwu sat not far away, his status was similar to Qian Qianyi's "staff".Qian Qianyi has guaranteed that he can directly enter the Imperial Academy in the capital. The current Academy is similar to the Guozijian in the past. Once he graduates, he can be "assigned" after passing the assessment, so he does not need to participate in the imperial examination.

After thinking for a while, Gu Yanwu walked over quietly, and said in a low voice: "My lord, it's not an option to go on like this. If they make a fuss, the situation will definitely escalate. The court and the emperor are still watching."

Qian Qianyi didn't know, it was just that he was enraged before and forced to drive away with soldiers, but now there is no way to turn back.

He looked up at the people in front of him, and those who had been watching him turned their heads immediately, and quietly pricked up their ears as if they were doing something seriously.

Qian Qianyi frowned, snorted secretly, and said in the same low voice: "What else can I do now? I can only bite the bullet and complete the scientific examination. Once the examination is over, you and I will return to Beijing with the papers, and the rest will be left to Jiangsu." Let the governor's yamen take care of it."

Gu Yanwu's expression changed, Qian Qianyi really wanted to do this, he had to offend Jiangsu all over the place!

He thought for a while, and persuaded: "My lord, it's better to find a compromise. If you make trouble in the capital, you won't be able to explain it."

Qian Qianyi is upset right now, he has no idea, looked at Gu Yanwu and said, "Zhongqing, what do you think should be done?"

"Zhongqing" is Gu Yanwu's character. Historically, when the Manchu Qing entered the customs, he resented it and changed the character to "Ningren". Now it is naturally "Zhongqing".

Gu Yanwu pondered for a while, and said, "My lord, you might as well post a notice saying that you can't disobey the imperial court's prohibition, and allow them to participate in the imperial examination as a compromise. However, you can't record the specific files. You can record them on your behalf and hand them over to the governor's office in Jiangsu." , and they will transfer it to the imperial court and intercede on their behalf at the same time."

Qian Qianyi pondered Gu Yanwu's words carefully, his eyes became brighter and brighter, he stood up and said with a big expression: "It's still loyal and sharp, this method not only picks out the official, but also gives those scholars a way, Fang Kong Yan should be satisfied too, okay, I'll do as you want!"

Gu Yanwu smiled slightly, not taking credit or being proud.

Recently, he has been studying Zhu Xu's series of behaviors after he ascended the throne, and he has come to a rule, that is, unless it is a hard bone that requires him to deal with it face to face, other things are quite "smooth", and they can't touch him in the slightest. Still beautifully done.

He can be regarded as learning and selling now, and he is imitating others.

Just as Qian Qianyi was about to leave, Gu Yanwu hurriedly whispered another word in his ear.

Qian Qianyi smiled even more, sat down and wrote a post himself, ordered someone to post it outside the gate of the Gongyuan, and went out to make arrangements in person.

The scholars, who were originally excited and wanted to force their way, gradually calmed down after seeing this post.

The content of Qian Qianyi's post is very simple. First, show pity and gain sympathy.It is said that he is an official ordered by the imperial court, and he is helpless to act according to the orders of the imperial court; second, show his ability and say a way.A compromise allows them to take the imperial examination, but their papers will be forwarded to the court by the governor's office, so that it is in line with the law.Third, big truths, small threats.It is said that the imperial court's discipline is important, and the prohibition is violated improperly...this is not an example.

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and suddenly someone said: "If you want to talk about this matter, you can't blame Mr. Qian, he is an official post, and he is just following orders."

"Yes, Mr. Qian is not unreasonable, he has already thought of a way for me..."

"That's true. If the papers are handed over to the governor's yamen and handed over to the court, it's better than being blocked from the door without being able to take the exam..."

"That's right, we are the ones who wrongly blamed Mr. Qian, so it's no wonder Mr. Qian is angry..."

"The door will open in a while, I'd better get ready, if I fail again like this, I'll be ashamed to see people..."

"Extremely, extremely..."

I don't know who was the first to speak, and then there were comments one after another. The public opinion quickly turned towards Qian Qianyi, and the unhappiness just now seemed to have disappeared.

Soon, the gate of the Gongyuan opened, and the scholars rushed in like a tide, and they didn't want to talk about anything else.

A few of them looked at each other secretly, followed the crowd without hiding their smiles, but found an opportunity in a blink of an eye, and slipped away without a sound.

Qian Qianyi kept watching this scene, heaved a sigh of relief, turned to Gu Yanwu beside him and said happily: "Zhongqing, when the imperial examination is over, I will personally send you to the Political Yuan, and you can come to the Ministry of Rites in a year and a half. , your talent, it won't be long before you will be able to stand out and be famous all over Jinhua!"

Gu Yanwu was also very happy to be appreciated by the Minister of Rites, he raised his hand and said, "Thank you, sir."

Qian Qianyi looked at Gu Yanwu with great satisfaction, and his heart moved secretly. The Gu family is also a rich family in the south of the Yangtze River. Gu Yanwu is not only full of talent, but also valued by the emperor.

When the other examiners saw that Qian Qianyi had handled it well, the big stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

In the Governor's Yamen, Fang Kongxuan was discussing with Wang Beicheng and others the candidates for the Governor's Council at the first level of the government. He listened to the report, his eyes moved slightly, and he thought to himself, Qian Qianyi is really not simple, turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain, no wonder Able to ascend to a high position.

Wang Beicheng's expression remained unchanged, he looked up at Fang Kongxuan, and saw that he looked relaxed, but his heart was vigilant, this was just Qian Qianyi's "suspended" action, and when the rankings are released in the future, there will inevitably be a bigger disturbance.

Naturally, Wang Beicheng couldn't stay out of the matter, and said sideways: "My lord, the matter is not over yet, so we need to plan ahead."

Fang Kongzheng was startled for a moment, then came to his senses, frowned tightly, and said with a cold snort: "After all, Qian Qianyi left the trouble to us!"

Wang Beicheng didn't say anything. Qian Qianyi was an official in the capital. He could pat his ass and leave after finishing his work. They had to clean up the mess.

Fang Kongzheng smiled for a moment, and said: "Qian Qianyi has a wall ladder, and I also have a boat to cross the river! My lord, when the papers are delivered, the Governor's Council will first review the papers, and the third out of ten will be clearly announced. Wait until I If Qian Qianyi chooses from them, he will definitely go to another third of the ten, leaving less than one fifth, and the rest will be sent back to their hometowns. The imperial court will not admit them, and these people will not cause trouble!"

Wang Beicheng was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and said, "Your Excellency is clever, this turmoil will be over!"

Fang Kongzheng also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, slandering in his heart, these were also forced out during these days, how could he have such agility in the past.

This matter was no longer on his mind, he looked down at the list on the table, and said: "My lord, these people must verify clearly, if someone with evil intentions sneaks in, you and I will bear the responsibility, we need to be careful! "

"Yes, sir, don't worry!"

Naturally, Wang Beicheng knew that now "Jingzheng New Deal, Zhongxing Ming Dynasty" has become the consensus of the whole world, and it is a surging trend that no one can stop, but if someone in the Governor's Council they selected said something that should not be said, it would make the court , The emperor was extremely embarrassed, and the board must not be light.

After three consecutive days of traveling, Zhu Xu had left Nanzhili and arrived in Lin'an, Zhejiang.

Soldiers and horses rest, supplement food and water.

In the station, Zhu Xu flipped through the playbooks and various secret reports sent urgently.

Among them, Qin Liangyu's memorabilia aroused his vigilance. She said in the memorandum that recently there have been Tatar bandits in Ningxia Town and Yulin Town. .

The western part of Shaanxi is bordered by Moxi Mongolia. This branch is also complicated. There are many Mongolian tribes scattered, and most of them are relatively strong and have a large territory. relatively calm.

Zhu Xu didn't care about their detention. In the past few years, Zhu Xu had not lost blood transfusions in Southwest China, especially the army was the top priority. Several major towns had been rectified, and they were defended with heavy artillery, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.Junggar, which will become stronger in the future, is not in a good place yet, and Zhu Xu is worried about Huang Taiji.

This person moved westward with Horqin's elite, and now he has almost arrived in Moxi.

Is this matter related to him?

Zhu Xu looked at the memorial, squinted his eyes, and thought deeply.

In Huang Taiji's hands, there are [-] cavalry in his hands, whether it is more or less, what will he choose to do when he arrives in Moxi?

Alliance, embezzlement, recuperation?
