Yang Shiqi of Nanjing, who sent someone back, said two major things handled by the prince in Nanjing, Wang Zhen read it carefully, and then silently remembered it in his heart, and made sure that he understood it, so he closed the fold, exhaled lightly, approached Zhu Gaozhi's dragon bed, and called softly: "Emperor, emperor——? ”

"Your Majesty, wake up quickly!" Zhang gently pushed Zhu Gaochi's fat body.

Zhu Gaochi made an "um" sound from his nose, slowly woke up, rubbed his head with a headache, and said in a deep voice outside the curtain: "How do you see it?" “

Wang Zhen looked a little nervous, bowed down and said, "Back to Your Majesty, have you finished reading it?" “

Zhu Gaochi sighed and said, "What did you say?" “

Wang Zhen leaned closer to the dragon bed and said in a low voice: "The song was sent back by Lord Yang who was ordered to go to Nanjing?" “

"Nanjing?" Zhu Gaochi muttered, and said in a flat tone, "What did Lord Yang say?" “

After talking for a while, seeing that the emperor was not angry or dissatisfied, Wang Zhen's courage increased a little, his voice raised a few points, and said: "The first thing Lord Yang said in the fold is the imperial examination in Nanjing this year!" ”

"Imperial examinations?" Zhu Gaochi was taken aback, his voice raised a little, and said, "What's wrong with the imperial examination?" ”

Wang Zhendao: "Lord Yang said in the recital that this year's imperial examination is still unbalanced between the north and the south, and how much do you know with the north-south imperial examination case in Hongwu's 30 years? A few students made some trouble, but they were appeased by the prince? ”

"Oh——?" Zhu Gaochi responded, followed by a heavy breath, and said to himself: "The imperial examination is ultimately based on reading, not all by brute force to ascend the throne, the king of the north is vigorous, the south is prosperous, my Ming Dynasty has been established for decades, and it still can't change this interesting thing, when the emperor's grandfather personally asked, recruited Ren Bo'an and other sixty-one, June court examination, with Han Kezhong as the first place, Wang Shu as the second place, Jiao Sheng as the third place, is for the summer list. Because the 61 people recorded are all northerners, so it is also called the North List, to determine the North and South List, it is really a helpless move, now I am the Ming Dynasty Tai Min'an, the number of people in the north is increasing, I think that even though the northern scholars are not as good as the southern scholars, but there is also a lot of difference, who knows that the northern scholars, after all, are not as good as the southern aura, and the reading is worse than the southerners after all? ”

Zhu Gaochi muttered to himself, as if he was lamenting that the northerners were so poor in reading, or that he was listening to himself.

Wang Zhen didn't speak, he stood silently beside the curtain, bowed down, and didn't dare to move in the slightest.

Zhu Gaochi sighed with emotion and continued to ask: "Lord Yang's recital, can you say how the prince solved this matter?" “

Wang Zhendao: "The prince listened to Lord Yang's proposal to admit Jinshi by region, and finally set up the north-south volume method of taking Jinshi by region. According to the regulations, the southern volume takes six-tenths, the northern volume takes four-tenths, and the southern volume takes Jiangsu and Zhejiang as the boundary, including Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Huguang, and Guangdong five provinces, as well as Yingtian, Songjiang, Suzhou, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Huizhou, Ningguo, Chizhou, Taiping, Huai'an, Yangzhou, and Guangdezhou in the south of Zhili. The northern volume is the four provinces of Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and Shaanxi, and the three capitals of Liaodong, Daning and Wanquan in the north of Zhili, such as Shuntian, Baoding, Zhending, Hejian, Shunde, Daming, Yongping, Guangping and Yanqing Prefecture and Baoan Prefecture. ”

After thinking about it carefully, Zhu Gaochi nodded and said: "Admit Jinshi according to the region, six tenths of the southern volume and four tenths of the northern volume, so that the southern scholars do not have to resent the poor study in the north, and the northern scholars do not have to be jealous of the southern scholars who are good at scientific examinations. ”

Zhu Gaochi looked extremely happy, and said with a smile: "What else is there to please?" ”

Wang Zhen hurriedly said: "Lord Yang also said on the fold that the prince has finished worshipping his ancestors, and Nanjing has prepared manpower and material resources for His Majesty to move the capital, and it is also fully prepared, but the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, because of the Maitreya rebellion in Hangzhou, killed the people who dredged the canal, which delayed the canal dredging, and now His Royal Highness the Prince personally rushed to deal with this matter. “

Zhu Gaochi nodded and said: "The matter of the canal actually made the prince move, and it was not a small move to think about it!" In that case, how long will I wait? ”

Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi turned his head and glanced at it from the curtain, Wang Zhen said, "How is your calligraphy?" ”

Wang Zhen didn't understand what the emperor wanted to do, but he was keen on fame in the early years, and the Ming Dynasty elected officials in addition to the eight strands of writing, but also attached importance to appearance and calligraphy, in order to achieve good results, he also practiced Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy for a few years, although the calligraphy is not everyone, but it is definitely good-looking.

"In the early years of the slave, in order to become a teacher, I practiced Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy for a few years, and I asked myself if I was okay?"

Zhu Gaochi hummed and said: "After practicing for a few years, I think calligraphy should be good!" Talking to himself, he said to the outside of the tent: "Today, I am very tired, since you have watched the recital, then finish this matter for me together?" ”

Wang Zhen was also a little bolder at this time, and bowed down when he heard the words: "The emperor has an order, and the slave will naturally do it?" ”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Zhu Gaochi said: "Very good! There is a red pen on the desk, you use a red pen, according to Yang Aiqing's notes, according to the words, after approval, send it to the cabinet, tell Yang Rong, Yang Aiqing played, according to the region to admit Jinshi, the south volume takes six-tenths, the north volume takes four-tenths, which is conducive to the stability of the imperial court, and I play accurately! After saying so many words in one breath, Zhu Gaochi looked a little panting, took a few breaths, and continued: "Also, the matter of moving the capital is imperative, let the prince dredge the Jiangnan Canal as much as possible, and I will issue the will to move the capital in October, so that the prince must be prepared before this?" ”

Wang Zhen listened silently, quickly remembering every word Zhu Gaochi said in his mind, not daring to omit the slightest, and after Zhu Gaochi finished speaking, he kept writing it down, and then he answered Zhu Gaochi, walked to the imperial case, grabbed the Zhu Gaochi pen used on weekdays, and copied the words word by word on the cabinet ticket, and copied it word by word.

In the Peng family's mansion, Yang Zheng has not yet gotten up early, it's not that he doesn't want to get up, it's too boring, after the first war of the Chamber of Commerce, his status in the Peng family has risen rapidly, in addition to the lady, eldest lady, and second lady, he is respected, and he has the momentum of the fourth position of the Liangshan heroes, There are more and more chicken soup, in just a few days, he has drunk dozens of bowls of chicken soup, and now when he sees chicken soup, he doesn't want to drink it, but completely wants to vomit.

"I don't know when I sleep in spring, mosquitoes bite everywhere, the sound of wind and rain at night, and ...... virgin becomes sister-in-law?"

was muttering in a daze, when he suddenly heard someone outside the door shouting: "Hua'an, Hua'an——? ”

As soon as he heard the voice of the second young lady, Yang Zheng just turned around and continued to fall asleep.

Knock knock!

The knock on the door like a drum, even if he wanted to sleep, he couldn't sleep, he was barely afraid, and scolded: "Second Miss, what are you doing, how can I say that I am also a great hero of the Peng family, now I don't want a bonus, and I don't ask for more money, but I just stayed in bed for a while, so I don't need to urge so desperately, right?" “

"Poof!" With a crisp laugh, the second lady flashed in the moment when Yang Zheng opened the door bolt, flashed in, and said with a smile: "When is it, still sleeping, and not afraid of people's jokes?" “

"I'm sleeping in my own house, who laughs, who dares to laugh, but the second miss, you, a girl's house, ran to a big man's boudoir, why aren't you afraid of people's jokes?"

The second lady gave him a blank look and said, "I want you to take care of it!" What can you do to me? “

Although he shouted and didn't care, a pretty face still blushed unhappily, and a pair of black and white eyes sparkled, which looked extremely moving.

Although Yang Zheng only glanced at it hurriedly, he still couldn't help but be stunned.

"Seducing me early in the morning, isn't that leading me to sin?" muttered quietly, didn't mean to get up, leaned back, still reclining on the bed, and asked, "The second lady came to my room early in the morning, didn't she come to see how I slept?" “

"Phew! Miss Ben watched you sleep, don't you want to dirty my eyes? The second lady snorted and laughed.

Yang Zheng said: "Then you still watch?" “

The second lady's pink cheeks quickly flushed, and said, "Who looked, people, people just want you to get up?" I don't really look at you, and besides, you don't have anything to look at? ”

Yang Zheng was dissatisfied: "Second Miss, you said that I am not good-looking, have you seen someone more handsome and chic than me?" “

Seeing that he was serious, the second lady couldn't help but giggle with her mouth covered, and her bumpy body inevitably rolled like waves in some places, falling into someone's eyes, and inevitably made her eyes widen a little.

"You're so thick-skinned?"

Yang Zheng swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, smiled, and said: "Don't say it, I have a lot of advantages, but this shortcoming, it seems that there are really no shortcomings, so that the second lady is so remembered, it is really my sin?" “

The second lady smiled again, and the waves were even more turbulent, making someone very hot.

The second lady laughed for a while, then stopped, and said, "Okay, don't be poor, it's not early, it's almost time to get up?" ”
