[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

In a blink of an eye, it was March again, and it was raining heavily in the capital, and the grass slowly returned to its previous green color under the nourishment of the spring rain.The Ministry of Rites began to get busy. Originally, there should have been a department of Chunwei in the year of Yichou, but because of Zhu Hui's rebellion and the new emperor's accession to the throne, this department of Chunwei was cancelled.This year is the second year of the new emperor's ascension to the throne. Enke is licensed to open and enjoy the prosperity with the world.

Zhu Houzhao has been busy selecting topics and standardizing examination matters, while Du Ruo has been holding on to his seeds all day long.He who hadn't passed the filial piety period simply went to Huangzhuang to personally guide the seedling raising work.Everyone didn't have much hope for these exotic things. Hearing that Du Ruo said that the output of this kind of thing could exceed traditional crops such as wheat and rice, it was even more unbelievable.No one believes that Du Ruo can only work hard, hoping to show everyone.

Both of them are busy, of course they get together less and leave more, not to mention that Du Ruo is still in mourning, and Zhu Houzhao hasn't seen Du Ruo for a long time.Even Zhu Houwei and Ai Cao began to ask where Du Ruo's brother had gone.Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to comfort them by saying that Du Ruo had gone to grow delicious food for them.As soon as they heard Du Ruo and delicious food, the two children would think of chili and hot pot. When they heard this, they still had the melancholy of missing Du Ruo, and their eyes were full of strange anticipation, which made Zhu Youtang smile. Fall on your back.

They enjoyed the family happiness in the city, and the students in the city were busy answering questions with full concentration.Originally, the Spring Festival should be held in early February, in order to stagger the busy farming season, so that the candidates who are rushing to take the exam can take the exam well.But February is really too cold, and every year there are many students who are frostbitten. This year Zhu Houzhao simply changed the time to March.Anyway, few of these scholars' families would go to the fields in person.

The emperor is so benevolent, the whole capital is naturally full of praises.Because the spring was changed to March, even the prices of vegetables were much cheaper, which greatly improved the lives of the students.On the ninth day of March, these examiners began to step into the examination room for the baptism of the imperial examination.For them, Jackie Chan is still an adult, and it's just a fight.

It is said that thirty old Mingjing and fifty young Jinshi.From this sentence, we can get a glimpse of the difficulty of the imperial examinations, but no matter how difficult the questions are, they are always pediatrics in front of some people, including Liu Dong.Like Zhu Houzhao and the others, Liu Dong also changed a lot. Not only did he grow taller and become a bamboo pole, but he also grew closer to his father.Now Liu Dong is standing beside Liu Jianjian, but no one will mistakenly think that Liu Dong is not Liu Jian's son.

After Zhu Hui's rebellion, although Xu Pu was not involved in it, he could not escape the crime of laxity.Zhu Houzhao simply allowed him to retire and return to his hometown, which made him faceless.And the one who succeeded him as the chief assistant of the cabinet was Zhu Houzhao's teacher, Liu Jian who had been in and out of the cabinet.Having a chief assistant father did not bring much convenience to Liu Dong, but because of Liu Jian's position as the first assistant, it made it more difficult for Liu Dong to take the imperial examination.

The imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty were not ranked based on scores like modern examinations. After all, the imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty depended on scores and also on your native place and family.From the point of view of origin, because Jiangnan has produced talents since ancient times, it is easier to be admitted to Jinshi than other places, but it is impossible for officials in one dynasty to let Jiangnan people occupy all of them, so the Ming Dynasty actually selected scholars by region. It can also ensure that officials in areas with underdeveloped protection and education can pass the imperial examination.

In terms of family, it is well known that well-known merchants cannot take the imperial examination, and there are other low-class people who cannot take the imperial examination.The young masters of the official family are also restricted. After all, they enjoy better educational resources, and because their father or clan members are officials, they have a greater chance of cheating.In order to prevent the disciples of the officials' families from monopolizing the imperial examinations, the Ming Dynasty also selected scholars for the children of officials and eunuchs separately, which is different from ordinary people.

That's why Zhu Houzhao was surprised when the Ministry of Rites presented the examination papers for this imperial examination and found Liu Dong's examination papers on the top stack.The above are basically the top ten papers with the best answers recommended by the officials who graded the papers, and the top ten people who will take the test are basically selected from them.And the number one scholar in the palace examination, the second place in the list, and the top three in Tanhua are basically produced here.Liu Dong's paper was ranked first, which meant that Liu Dong was actually the Hui Yuan recommended by everyone.

Three days later, Zhu Houzhao looked at him with admiration, and Zhu Houzhao did not expect that the thin and thin Liu Dong could do this. With a stroke of a pen, Liu Dong became the new member of the club.Moreover, because of the majestic and magnificent words written by Ding Xice in the last palace examination, he was personally named Tanhua by Zhu Houzhao.

When Du Ruo heard the news, he was about to die of anger. It's not that he didn't know that Liu Dong had impure thoughts about Zhu Houzhao.The only gratifying thing is that although Liu Dong passed the exam, Tanhua was still thrown by Zhu Houzhao to the Hanlin Academy to be an editor, and he has not seen Zhu Houzhao once in 800 years.

Du Ruo was full of resentment, and Liu Dong was not much better.Forced to stay at home because of the successive deaths of his grandfather and grandmother, he finally figured out his feelings for Zhu Houzhao.Maybe it was Zhu Houzhao's sunny smile when they met for the first time, so he captured himself.But what's the use of this, Zhu Houzhao is already the emperor, and there is no possibility of being with himself.His only solution is to be a courtier, silently guarding Zhu Houzhao's side.But the reality is that he passed the Tanhua exam, but was thrown in the Hanlin Academy, spending day after day boring in various records.

The two of them were fighting against each other, but Zhu Houzhao didn't know that he actually valued Liu Dong very much.Liu Dong's talent in mathematics and finance has always been his envy.When he didn't know that Liu Dong had such a strong combat power in the imperial examination, Zhu Houzhao thought about arranging for Liu Dong to study at the Ministry of Household Affairs when he grew up, so that he would not be afraid that he would not be able to get up.

But now that Liu Dong has been admitted to Tanhua by his own strength, it is of course good. For the sake of Liu Dong's future career, Zhu Houzhao still threw him to the Imperial Academy to give him a reputation of noble birth.As for what Liu Dong was doing in the Imperial Academy, of course it was sorting out the classics of the Ministry of Households over the years.But these are also unknown to Liu Dong and Du Ruo.

After five months of hard work, Du Ruo was finally able to get rid of his clothes and liberate him.The next day, Du Ruo canceled his vacation and went to the palace again.Zhu Houzhao was taken aback by Du Ruo's attentiveness, thinking that Du Ruo had taken the wrong medicine.It is impossible for Du Ruo to say that he knows what Liu Dong is thinking and that he has evil intentions.

When a vinegar jar came back, Liu Dong would be miserable.In the past, I could see Zhu Houzhao from time to time when I was reporting things to Zhu Houzhao, but now Du Ruo would always sit there by myself. He always finds fault with Liu Dong.

Liu Dong was naturally aware of people targeting him like this.Although Liu Dong and Du Ruo have read books together for so many years, they don't actually have a very good friendship. After Liu Dong returned home, the two only had a face-to-face relationship.Du Ruo and Zhu Houzhao's experience in the past two years, Liu Dong also heard from the book, combined with Du Ruo's attitude towards him in the past, Liu Dong made a bold guess, Du Ruo probably likes Zhu Houzhao as much as himself .

In a corner where the two of them didn't notice, Zhu Houzhao didn't expect that Liu Dong would discover his relationship with Du Ruo.Liu Dong's guess was guesswork, but he didn't dare to ask for proof. After all, one of them is the emperor and the other is the Duke of Xiaoguo, neither of them is suitable for asking about such things.Liu Dong could only observe silently, hoping to find evidence to confirm his guess.

In fact, Liu Dong wants to overthrow his guess, because if Zhu Houzhao and Du Ruo are not together, Liu Dong can still lie to himself that Zhu Houzhao doesn't love men, so he can't think about it.But if the two of them are together, it's just because Zhu Houzhao simply doesn't like him anymore, which is the cruelest thing for Liu Dong.

It's good not to have such thoughts, but with such thoughts, Liu Dong felt more and more that the two were a couple.If it weren't for a couple, could two people be so close?If it weren't for lovers, as an emperor, how could Zhu Houzhao maintain such trust with Du Ruo?Moreover, according to gossip, the two of them were unwilling to marry. Liu Dong felt more and more that there was an adulterous relationship between the two of them, and he became more and more depressed.

Zhu Houzhao noticed that Liu Dong was emotionally wrong, but he didn't have the energy to take care of it for the time being, because Ma Wensheng, who led the navy to a big victory and returned to the court smoothly, returned.

Compared with Zhu Hui who returned to Beijing under false claim of Xu Jin's merits, Ma Wensheng returned to court with a real victory.The Fulangji people who are domineering in the country of Manga have been controlled by Ma Wensheng, and they were taken all the way to the capital by Ma Wensheng as prisoners of war.Most of the people who traded with the Ming Dynasty were from Arab countries and Southeast Asian countries, and their looks were not much different from those of the Ming Dynasty.Since Zhu Houzhao came to the Ming Dynasty, it was the first time he saw so many blond Europeans.

And these prisoners of war made the entire capital boil. When Luo Zhijian was in the capital, he always stayed in the Duke's Mansion and the Imperial Palace, and went to the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles. The common people knew that there was such a person but had never seen him.Now I heard that a strange foreigner who looks exactly like Luo Zhijian came, and everyone went to the Siyi Pavilion to watch.Because there were too many people, Wucheng Bingmasi specially sent more people to watch over them.

Zhu Youtang is the happiest thing about Ma Wensheng's smooth return to the court, because he founded the navy bit by bit, and now he can be deployed in actual combat to defeat these foreigners, which shows that he still has some merits in what he has done.Knowing that Zhu Youtang was happy, Zhu Houzhao simply called Ma Wensheng to tell Zhu Youtang what he had encountered at sea.

What kind of fish with a big house, savages wearing only animal skins, all kinds of strange customs that have never been seen before, Ma Wensheng talked about it, and Zhu Youzhang and the two little ones were taken aback for a while.Hearing that the weather there is very hot, even in winter, you only need to wear jackets, Zhu Youtang was full of longing.His body is weak, and he is most afraid of the cold.Especially in winter, I don't know how I got here.

Ma Wensheng also brought a lot of various preserved fruits and seafood, Mrs. Zhang called them fresh when she saw them.In this way, Ma Wensheng planted a seed yearning for the south in everyone's hearts, which will slowly germinate and bear delicious fruits.
