"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Cheng Guogong, who was sitting on a chair and napping, immediately jumped up when he heard the sound, and rushed out to pick up the car with a radiant face.

Zhang Juzheng and Yang Bo also hurried to follow.

"Your Majesty remembers the wrong day?"

Wang Ting and Mao Kai, the two Xu Party bosses, glanced at each other, and they both felt that this matter was a bit of a coincidence. Why did Xu Ge lie down on his front feet, and His Majesty came on his back feet?

The two old men didn't think much about it, and hurriedly went out to greet them.

I saw that Emperor Longqing was dressed in a vermilion swallow suit, wearing a black gauze winged crown, and with the support of Teng Xiang and Feng Bao, he got off the imperial chariot with a spring breeze.

"Everyone, love Qing, get even." Long Qing smiled and helped Chengguo Gong, Zhu Xizhong stood up dexterously and bowed down to support the emperor for Chen Hong.

"The old minister and the lords should do their own errands wholeheartedly, how dare they disturb the holy driver?"

"Hey, old man. Anyway, this is also my first big competition. Emperor Longqing smiled and said, "It's not easy for me to be the chief examiner, so I should be the shopkeeper." ”

As he spoke, he pretended to look left and right.

"Hey, where's Motosuke?"

"Back to Your Majesty." Zhang Xianggong smoothed his silky long beard and replied coolly: "Yuan Fu occasionally feels unwell, and he is resting in bed today, and people have already been informed." ”

"yes, it doesn't matter, does it?" Emperor Longqing said with a tight face.

"It shouldn't be tight, say lie down for a while, and come over when you can get out of bed." Zhang Juzheng took the opportunity to introduce his illness and hinted to the emperor.

Long Qing really understood what he meant, so he said to Teng Xiang: "You take the imperial doctor to visit Yuanfu for me, just say that it is my will, and ask Yuanfu to rest in bed for two days." Everything is here, so he doesn't have to worry. ”

After a pause, he said: "And Xu Fan, let him also put down all the errands at hand, and take good care of his old father in the past two days." ”

"Yes." Father-in-law Teng answered, and went to pass the decree.

"Okay guys, Motosuke isn't here, we're going to redouble our efforts." The emperor clapped his hands and walked into the Wenhua Hall first.

"Your Majesty is really the spirit of Ryoma!" Cheng Guogong immediately presented today's sycophants. "This session is so blessed."

"Oh, haha, that's it." Emperor Longqing was in a good mood, moving his arms and posing for a big job.

All the bigwigs looked at each other and looked at Zhang Xianggong, really hoping that this No. 2 person in the Xu Party would have an idea.

Who knew that Zhang Juzheng only spread his hands and followed into the hall.

"What do you mean?"

Wang Ting looked at Mao Kai, Mao Kai looked at Lei Li, and Lei Li looked at Ma Sen. These four subordinates are all cronies promoted by Xu Ge Lao, known as the four King Kongs of the Xu Party, and when they saw that the deputy leader did not give instructions, they were all a little stunned at this moment.

"That's what it means, it's what it means." Yang Bo was a little gloating, patted Wang Zongxian's shoulder, and followed in.

~~

In the Golden Palace, the emperor ascended to the throne.

The eleven book readers were all a little confused, and they stood there at a loss.

They are familiar with the routine, first set most of the rankings, and then leave a dozen or so for reading the papers...... And among these dozen papers, there must be the top 10 results in the examination.

When the sealing officer finishes sealing and divides the test papers, he will deliberately place the top ten papers in the test at the end of each bundle. So examiners don't have to look at the name to find out.

For example, the Huiyuan scroll must be placed on the last sheet of the '癸' character bundle, and the tenth place is the last sheet of the 'A' character bundle......

The examiners identified these ten and put them aside with a few lucky ones.

When the emperor arrives at the Wenhua Hall tomorrow, he will be recited by the official reading the scroll, and the top ten will be set.

Now that the emperor has arrived a day earlier, what should be the process?

Emperor Longqing was a little happy, he was played by this group of bigwigs in the past, and this time he finally played them once.

Zhang Juzheng still had the ability to make decisions, and immediately ordered Zhu Dashou to start reading the scroll to the emperor.

Zhu Dashou hurriedly picked up the paper that won the fourth place in the test to test his firepower, and recited it in front of the emperor.

Emperor Longqing patiently listened to this three-thousand-word strategy, and looked at the leaky pot in the corner of the hall, it had been almost two quarters of an hour.

He said in his heart that it was no wonder that the official who read the paper only prepared twelve copies, and it was dark after listening to it, and no matter how much it was, it was useless.

"I don't know what Your Majesty's holy will is?" Zhang Juzheng asked.

Looking at Master Zhang's cool eyes, Emperor Longqing returned in a trance, and the monarchs and ministers talked about that day.

~~

In the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace that day, Emperor Longqing took Master Zhang's hand and cried:

"What I say now, what I do now, someone finds fault with me, not one or two people, but a nest together."

"Every time I express my views at a court meeting, someone will inevitably jump out and say that my ideas are immature and incomplete. Immediately afterwards, a group of people chimed in, citing scriptures to argue how naïve my idea was, and what unimaginable consequences it would cause. ”

I listened to Emperor Longqing's grievances and babbling:

"I am also an emperor, and I also want to save face, every time I open my mouth, I will be disgraced and lose face. You said that after such a few times, who would want to speak again? ”

"I said okay, then I'll shut up, you're done, right? Who knew that within a month, they would tell me that I had a problem with my intelligence? I'm like an idiot. ”

"I couldn't be angry, and I wanted to punish a few officials for being angry, but they were all stopped by Xu Gelao. Master Zhang, you said that it was you, would you be willing to go to court? ”

"That's why I simply hid in the palace, out of sight for purity......"

Zhang Ju listened like water, and said in his heart that it was me, just like your father, who couldn't take care of their own lives anymore.

He was a clear bystander, and naturally understood that the civil officials were playing, and they were still playing against the new monarch.

When Emperor Jiajing first succeeded to the throne, he suffered much worse than Emperor Longqing.

Because Jiajing is the king of the vassal and succeeded to the unification. Therefore, soon after ascending the throne, the civil official group headed by Yang Tinghe, the first assistant, asked the emperor to change his parents according to the old practice of the heirs of the Han and Song dynasties, and recognized the emperor and the Empress Dowager Zhang as his parents. Jiajing insisted on refusing, so the two sides launched a protracted fierce battle over who was Jiajing's father and whether Jiajing's biological father could add the emperor.

At the climax of the struggle, Yang Shen, the elder of the small pavilion, led 240 court officials to kneel and cry at Zuoshunmen.

Yang Dacai also raised his arms and shouted a famous sentence:

"One hundred and fifty years of national soldiers, the festival of righteous death, is today!"

He also threatened the people, saying, 'Whoever does not fight today, he will fight together!' ’

As a result, it triggered a cry that shocked the world**.

Jiajing asked the eunuchs to leave the palace to persuade them to no avail, so he had to order the Jinyi guards to kill the chickens and monkeys, and arrest eight of them and put them in prison.

As a result, Yang Shen and the ministers shook the door and cried, and the cry passed through the three major halls and directly reached the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Jiajing was furious and directly sent five hundred Han ...... The general, the officials below the fourth rank were all under the command of the court staff, and afterwards Yang Shen and others were assigned to the army, which gradually suppressed the arrogance of the civilian officials.

But Zhang Juzheng couldn't persuade Emperor Longqing to say, you can fight and be over.

He knows very well that the country has a benevolent king, and it is indeed a blessing for the government and the people. Once the emperor releases the devil in his heart, the situation will be out of control.

So Zhang Juzheng suggested to Emperor Longqing:

"This batch of speech officials is too prickly, so let's change a group of people who are willing to listen to His Majesty."

~~

"No, one is that this article is not good, take it low."

In Master Zhang's encouraging gaze, Emperor Longqing finally mustered up the courage to say what he most like the emperor since he ascended to the pole:

"The second is that reading the paper like this is too slow, so I can show it for myself."
