Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

Early the next morning, Chu Zhuang went to the household department as usual. He had already handed in the sign and asked Yu Wenchang to summon him.

It's just that Yu Wenchang has a court meeting today, so he has to wait until the court meeting is over before summoning Chu Zhuang.

Xiao Huangmen came to summon Chuzhuang, and Chuzhuang took the box and prepared to enter the palace, Zhang Yuanbin followed him.

"Master Chu, what are you doing here if you don't check accounts at the household department?"

When Wu Mingyu came back from the court, he ran into Chu Zhuang and Zhang Yuanbin, and couldn't help being a little surprised.

"It's been a month since I came to the Ministry of Household Affairs, go and report to the emperor!"

Naturally, Chu Zhuang would not tell him the real purpose of their going to the palace, otherwise they would be caught off guard, so he just said a few perfunctory words at the moment.

Wu Mingyu looked around, moved closer to Chu Zhuang, and said in a low voice: "Master Chu, if you beg for mercy from Master Sima at this time, we may consider letting you go this time, otherwise this month's assessment, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. Let you go around without eating!"

Hearing Wu Mingyu's words, Chu Zhuang and Zhang Yuanbin looked at each other with strange eyes.

It's really hard to say who can't eat and walk around!

"This, allow the officer to think about it!"

Chu Zhuang smiled and said perfunctorily.

"Assessment is coming soon, Mr. Chu's time is running out, let's give an answer as soon as possible!"

Wu Mingyu took a deep look at Chu Zhuang, then left contentedly.

"I don't think Mr. Wu has much time!"

Zhang Yuanbin hated dirty officials the most. Looking at Wu Mingyu's back, a look of disgust flashed across his eyes.

As long as they put this account book in front of Yu Wenchang, Wu Mingyu, the head of the account book, will not be able to escape!

"Arguing with him about these things..."

Chu Zhuang shook his head slightly. In his eyes, Wu Mingyu was half dead.

"Let's go, don't make the emperor wait too long."

Chu Zhuang didn't waste time here, and entered the palace with Zhang Yuanbin following the little yellow gate.

"Your Majesty, Lord Chu and Lord Zhang have arrived."

Hong Da whispered in Yu Wenchang's ear.

"Well, let them in."

Yu Wenchang put down the memorial and nodded. He still attaches great importance to Chu Zhuang.

Especially every time Chu Zhuang came to him, he brought him surprises.

So as soon as he heard that Chu Zhuang handed over his waist card for an interview, Yu Wenchang summoned him immediately.

"My lord, see the emperor..."

Chu Zhuang and Zhang Yuanbin saluted and greeted respectfully.

"Don't be too polite."

Yu Wenchang waved his hands casually, and his gaze stayed on the small wooden box in Chu Zhuang's hand for a moment.

"What do you want to see me today?"

Yu Wenchang asked with a casual attitude.

"Your Majesty, the minister's matter of looking for you is of great importance. Please turn your back on the left and right."

Chu Zhuang is very cautious. He must not let outsiders know in advance what he wants to say to Yu Wenchang, otherwise it will be a failure if the other party makes preparations.

Even the household department doesn't need to do anything, just set a big fire and burn all the account books.

Then there is no proof.

So until they set up a good situation, this matter must be kept secret.

Although this Yu Wenchang is the emperor, it is really uncertain whether he has the eldest prince or prince by his side.

If these words were said to Yu Wenchang in other people's mouths, they would definitely be scolded.

After all, the people around the emperor, are you able to retreat if you say so?Are you plotting something wrong? !

But when this matter was put on Chu Zhuang, Yu Wenchang didn't have the slightest intention to blame him, on the contrary, he became more interested.

Because the more cautious and serious Chu Zhuang is, it means that what he wants to say is more important.

"Let them all back off!"

Yu Wenchang looked at Hong Da and ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hong Da drove everyone away.

Only Chuzhuang, Zhang Yuanbin, and Yuwenchang Hongda were left in the palace.

"Okay, everyone has left, if you have anything to say, just talk about it." Yu Wenchang looked at Chu Zhuang and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Chu Zhuang didn't beat around the bush, and directly told Yu Wenchang about the account checking with Zhang Yuanbin in the past month.

Yu Wenchang listened quietly to Chu Zhuang's words. Although his face was calm, the veins on his forehead kept protruding. Hong Da at the side cast a glance at him calmly, and then buried his head deeply.

Yu Wenchang was furious.

When the emperor was angry, millions of corpses floated away.

Someone is going to be unlucky!

"These are the ledgers that I and Mr. Zhang have sorted out this month. Please take a look at them, Your Majesty."

Chu Zhuang raised the wooden box in his hands with both hands.

Yu Wenchang glanced at Hong Da, and Hong Da bowed down and took the wooden box from Chu Zhuang. He didn't rush to hand it over to the emperor, but opened it aside and checked it to make sure there was no problem. It was handed over to Yu Wenchang.

"what are these?"

Looking at the Arabic numerals on the ledger, Yu Wenchang was confused.

"This is a new type of mathematical number taught by Mr. Chen. Please come forward and explain it." Chu Zhuang knew that Yu Wenchang couldn't understand, so he was ready to explain.

"En." Yu Wenchang nodded slightly.

Chu Zhuang stepped forward to explain to Yu Wenchang that the Arabic numerals are not difficult, as long as you memorize the number symbols, it is very simple, especially Chu Zhuang is very good at teaching, and Yu Wenchang is very smart, so he learned it quickly.

Yu Wenchang looked through the books one by one, while Chu Zhuang explained carefully to ensure that Yu Wenchang could understand.

"The two of you have sorted out all these books in a month?" Yu Wenchang looked at the two and asked.

He actually believed in Chu Zhuang, but this was beyond Yu Wenchang's expectations, so it was inevitable that he would feel a little unbelievable.

"My Majesty, Master Chu has a new type of calculation method. Using this method to calculate accounts is very fast. In addition, there is this new type of accounting method that can make the account books very simple and clear. That's why I finished it so quickly. "

Zhang Yuanbin cupped his hands and explained to Yu Wenchang.

"Your Majesty, why don't you find some small officials and ask my ministers to teach them, and then let them check all the accounts again, so that I can confirm that the two ministers have not neglected anything." Chu Zhuang added.

Yu Wenchang thought for a while and nodded. This matter is very important. Even if he believes in Chu Zhuang, if he cannot convince others, it will be useless.

So the method Chu Zhuang said is undoubtedly the safest one.

"Don't say anything about this matter for the time being. The two of you will temporarily stay in the palace and wait until this matter is settled before going out."

Yu Wenchang knew that with this incident, he could completely control the court, so he was very cautious.

Chu Zhuang and Zhang Yuanbin absolutely cannot make any mistakes at this critical moment, so at the moment, it is safest to put them under his nose.

As for the reason, Yu Wenchang also thought about it, and said that the two people's disrespect in front of the imperial court caused Yu Wenchang to be furious, so they were imprisoned in the prison!

This day prison is Yu Wenchang's place, and the people inside are shadow guards, let Chu Zhuang and the others inside, firstly, it will be safe and secure, and secondly, they can also be responsible for teaching the small officials to settle accounts without attracting attention.

It's just that the conditions in the prison are poor, so Chu Zhuang and Zhang Yuanbin will be somewhat wronged.

"Working for the emperor, dedicating myself to death, I don't feel wronged!"

How could Chu Zhuang and Zhang Yuanbin mind such a trivial matter, they said immediately.

Regarding being imprisoned in the sky prison, Yu Wenhong had reminded them earlier, so Chu Zhuang was also prepared, and they didn't worry about Yunmengxi and the others being too worried outside.

The 11st of each month, NO.21, [-]st, and the end of the month, these days are the big court meetings of the month.

What Yu Wenchang meant was to ask Chu Zhuang and the others to teach all the small officials within these days, and then let these small officials finish the accounting in the shortest possible time. At the next big court meeting, let Chu Zhuang and the others raise it in public. The accounting department was caught off guard.

Chu Zhuang and Yu Wenchang had been doing business in the Yushufang for a long time, and after making sure that there were no mistakes in all aspects.

Only then was Yu Wenchang furious, and he dropped the inkstone in his hand.

Many pairs of eyes outside the imperial study room were staring at the movement here, and Yu Wenchang's angry voice reached their ears.

Immediately afterwards, Hong Da summoned the guards and dragged Chu Zhuang and Zhang Yuanbin directly to the prison and locked them up.

……

"Father, good news, good news!"

Sima Weibo found Sima Zhishang excitedly after receiving the news from the palace.

"Why are you so happy?"

Because of Sima Zhishang's hard work in the past few days, his originally lifeless complexion was now even more dull.

But he can't help it, Sima Weibo is mediocre and incompetent, and it is entirely dependent on him that he can secure the position of Shang Shuling.

Not to mention Sima Jincheng.

Now, in order to help Yu Wenming and the prince fight against each other, Sima Zhishang can only go out to plan in person.

"Father, Chu Zhuang and that Zhang Yuanbin were imprisoned by the emperor and entered the prison for offending the emperor!"

During this period of time, Sima Weibo hadn't encountered a single favorable event, and this was the best news he had ever heard.

"The emperor imprisoned Chu Zhuang in the prison?"

Sima Zhishang didn't look as happy as Sima Weibo, but frowned and asked, "Why?"

"I don't know about this."

Sima Weibo shook his head, and explained: "Chu Zhuang and Zhang Yuanbin entered the palace today to meet the Holy Spirit. The emperor retreated to the left and right, leaving Hong Da alone to wait on him. I don't know what they said."

"It was only later that the emperor was furious and had people drag Chu Zhuang and Zhang Yuanbin into the dungeon. Many people saw it along the way."

When Sima Zhishang heard this, he showed a thoughtful expression.

He is very familiar with Yuwenchang's temper. Yuwenchang's city is very deep, but what he is best at is not strategy, but patience.

For such a person, if you want to offend him, what kind of things must happen?

Sima Zhishang was very curious about this.

"Get someone to inquire about their situation in Chuzhuang." Sima Zhishang ordered.

"Here, father, the prison is full of the emperor's people, our hands can't get in." Sima Weibo said in embarrassment.
