Thank you very much to boyhoods99? classmate, drunk Xunfang classmate for the tip!

Emperor Jiajing was also unprecedentedly excited, and immediately agreed, and convened the cabinet to discuss, as if tomorrow the entire Ming war machine would be in operation, approaching the Hetao.

However, then Emperor Jiajing regretted it, and the result of his regret was very tragic, causing the government and the opposition to shake, Zeng milled and beheaded, and his wife was exiled for 2,000 miles; Xia Yan, the first assistant of the cabinet who vigorously supported him, was even more miserable, abandoned the city, his wife was exiled to Guangxi, and his son and grandson were cut to the people.

Until now, most people have not figured out why Emperor Jiajing is so inconsistent, and only a few bigwigs in the later dynasty, such as Yan Song and Xu Jie, faintly guessed Jiajing's heart.

However, Emperor Jiajing left the impression of being cold and capricious to those who could not guess. At this time, Zhou Yu and the others also remembered the impression left by Emperor Jiajing to the world, and their faces were difficult to look at.

If this palace test is really about the opening of the sea, as Luo Xin guessed, how will they answer?

This kind of strategy does not depend on how well you write, but on whether you conform to the will, if you conform to the will, there is nothing impossible to point you to the champion. But if you go against the will, you don't have to think about a good ranking. Maybe you'll be dethroned.

And that's not all, because you have already left a bad impression in Emperor Jiajing's heart, and you will never want to be promoted in the future.

It can be said that a test paper ruins a life!

How can this not make these candidates nervous?

Everyone's hearts suddenly moved, since Luo Xin proposed Zeng Milling, wouldn't it be to remind everyone that Emperor Jiajing was a capricious person, right?

Could it be that Luo Xin has already deduced the truth about Emperor Jiajing's Zeng Milling incident?

"No!" Luo Zhi asked in a low voice, "Have you guessed the truth about Your Majesty's Zeng Milling incident?" ”

"I'm just guessing!" Luo Xin said softly, about Emperor Jiajing's repetition in the Zeng Milling incident, later generations have analyzed it very thoroughly, so Luo Xin only thought about it a little, and then said:

"This starts with the character of Your Majesty, every emperor of all dynasties has the ideal of opening up territory. It's just more or less to a degree. Therefore, when Zeng Milled the policy of the Hetao, His Majesty was inevitably excited. However, unlike the emperors of previous dynasties, His Majesty's greatest concern is not the government or the expansion of the territory, but the cultivation of the Tao. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod. Emperor Jiajing cultivated for more than 20 years and did not go to court, which is something that the government and the opposition know. In the hearts of the billions of people in the Ming Dynasty, they all knew that cultivation was the most important thing in Emperor Jiajing's life.

"So, when Your Majesty was excited to hear about the Hetao's strategy at the beginning, Your Majesty thought a lot. What if you can't subdue the loop? Who's going to clean up this mess?

No one came to clean up. Only His Majesty himself will clean it up, because this is His Majesty's world. But to clean up such a mess, it is necessary to put the whole country into operation, to mobilize for war, to mobilize troops, to collect grain and grass, to strategize, and so on. In such a situation. Does Your Majesty still have time and mood to cultivate?

His Majesty's nature is that as long as he doesn't disturb his cultivation, he can give up anything. Occasionally, ambition and pride arise, and it is just said. So His Majesty quickly lost his words, and it happened that Zeng Milling time. ”

"Isn't this an escape?" Haizheng raised his eyebrows and said, "He is the emperor." It's the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, how can this be? ”

"Ahem...... Zhou Yu coughed twice, attracting everyone's eyes, and said with a serious expression: "Today's words are not allowed to be said out of this room." ”

Everyone nodded solemnly. The inside of the room became dull. Half a sound, Liu Xiuwen said happily:

"In this way, Your Majesty has now thrown out the topic of opening the sea. Another three minutes of blood? It's okay, what is he tossing? ”

"Lack of money!" Huang Sheng said lightly: "I'm afraid Your Majesty has no money to live, so I remembered Kaihai." ”

"However, according to this analysis, in two days, Your Majesty, once you think that the opening of the sea will affect the entire coastal area and have a huge impact on the entire Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that you will retreat and escape again." Zhang Xun shook his head and sighed.

"That's for sure!" Yun Zhiqiu smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty is now old, so you have to get by." ”

"So what do we do?" Haizheng asked with some hesitation.

"Naturally, I will comply with the will of the lord first, and I will sit firmly on the official first." Luo Zhi said lightly: "Only when the official sits firmly can he talk about other things." If the officials can't sit still, even if we have ideals, there is no way to achieve them. ”

Among the nine heroes of Jinyang, Luo Zhi is the oldest. Everyone pondered for a while, and Tao Xingyan nodded and said:

"It's true."

It's March 15th.

This day is the temple test of the pilgrimage of the world, it is the final pass of the Ming Dynasty layer by layer selection, so that the court and the opposition pay attention, the location of the palace test is in the palace, the power center of the Ming Dynasty.

West Garden.

The officials of Honglu Temple have already begun to arrange the throne, the Huang case. The officials of Guanglu Temple began to set up the examination tables, arrange the seats of the candidates, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites prepared the test papers, answer sheets, and so on. All this is done by the officials themselves, and the eunuchs and palace maids are not allowed to interfere.

It was still dark.

Luo Xin and the others had already come to the gate of Xiyuan Palace to wait. Only 299 people were able to participate in the temple examination, and they were called tributes. At this time, two hundred and ninety-nine people came here without a shortage of stars and moons, and everyone's eyes released an excited light, and there were even many people with dark circles under their eyes, and it seemed that they didn't sleep much last night. This is the day that all readers are most looking forward to, and it is also the most anticipated exam, ten years of hard work, after a tragic exam, isn't it just for this day?

Chao for Tian Shelang, twilight to the Tianzi Hall.

Nothing more!

And all the candidates only had excitement in their eyes, but no nervousness.

This is because the palace examination is just a process of selecting the best among the good, and after the examination, they are already jinshi, and they will not delay their officials, and the palace examination is just a ranking.

Those with good rankings can stay in the capital, and those with poor rankings can also be released as a seven-grade county order, in short, they have embarked on a career.

So, if you have a good ranking, you must have a good future?

Not necessarily!

Too many people with good rankings stayed in the capital and entered the Hanlin Academy, but as soon as they entered the Hanlin Academy, their voices disappeared, and they finally ate and waited for death, and even became cannon fodder in the battle between the big men in the DPRK and China.

And those who are released can become the emperor of Bailitu, which can be said to have their own advantages and disadvantages.

However, no matter what the future holds, at the moment these people are getting along well, shuttling with each other in front of the Xiyuan Gate, communicating with each other, at this time there is no north-south rivalry, because everyone knows very well in their hearts that they are veritable newcomers to officialdom, and they belong to the bottom of the officialdom with the most no status, and they want to stay in the officialdom of the jungle, the strength of one person is not enough, only they are the newcomers united.

Only by communicating with each other and supporting each other can we keep our official body.
