When the candidates entered the hall one by one, Mao Jue was frowning in the former ceremonial supervisor who had been changed to the Tianxia Hall.

A message from the boss of Luo Ningluo.

Over the years, following the Dongjiang River, whether it is the sugar business in Yiwu or the sea business in Hangzhou, the Luo family has made a lot of money, in the past, many people urged Luo Ning to marry, but now, Luo Ning is twenty-four or five years old, this era is definitely an overage leftover girl, in the past, there were also Luo family members who wanted to marry Luo Ning out and vacate the position of the patriarch as soon as possible, but now there is not even a voice, and even other big families want to propose, these family elders have to try their best to shirk it.

Everyone knows that the patriarch of the Luo family has a leg with a certain powerful person in Liaodong, and now the various families are in an uproar to divide the silver, and it is all Luo Ning's face.

It is precisely because of the interests that the Luo family, as a firm ally of Liaodong in Jiangnan, is also meticulous about Liaodong's return, and this letter is like this, and the news of the core of the six departments of Nanjing actually made him inquire about it.

It's not good news, though.

As in history, Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, who held an ice fist in the succession to the throne, finally had the last laugh, he contacted the eunuch Lu Jiude, the Luzhou general soldier Huang Degong, the Huaisi general soldier Gao Jie, the Xuzhou general soldier Liu Liangzuo, and the first to support Zhu Yousong, the son of King Fu who fled south, and forcibly sent a large army to send Zhu Yousong to Nanjing to claim the emperor when the Donglin Party was in full swing to support the virtuous and supportive Lu.

Just last month, when Mao Jue entered Beijing, Nanming was officially established.

Then there is the division of the spoils of war, Ma Shiying got the biggest victory because he won the first place, Jiadong Pavilion University Scholar, the military department Shangshu, the right deputy capital Yushi, and he has not given up the real power of the governor of Fengyang, it can be said that he has the right to have soldiers, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition.

Moreover, the previous eunuch faction, Ruan Dacheng, who had been idle at home, was also helped up by him and served as the head of the household.

However, Donglin is also powerful enough, and the original Nanjing Military Department Shangshu Shi Kefa who is inclined to Donglin has been propped up, and he has also entered the East Pavilion, serving as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites Wang Qiachi entered the Wuyingdian University, Zhang Shenyan is the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and recruits Liu Zongzhou as the inspector of the Zuodu Imperial History, according to the Donglin Department of Cabinet Minister Gao Hongtu, Zhang Shenyan's statement is to try to let the "righteous people" occupy important positions and support a new atmosphere for the new dynasty.

As for being a righteous person? They Donglin Fu Society said that whoever is a righteous person is a righteous person.

There is one more separatist regime that fights against itself. Although this news is not good, Mao Jue has this psychological preparation, it has been more than four months since the fall of Jingshi, and there are many bureaucrats who have escaped from Nanming, and they can no longer support the scene again, which is inevitably too piggyhead.

The problem is that the Donglin Party did not take advantage of the absolute advantage in the support, and the brush pure in the sense actually brushed to his Uncle Mao's head again, and I don't know who recaptured Mao Jue back to Beijing, and defeated Li Zicheng The news spread back to Jiangnan, a group of Donglin Party who had just lost a hand was simply cheering, and for a few days, Donglin people were like salmon going upstream, and they enthusiastically wrote to ask for guilt.

That's right! It's to ask for sin! Blame Mao Jue for the crime of protecting the unfavorable Jingshi! Impeached him for cutting off his prince, and at the same time ordered him to immediately send troops south to welcome Emperor Hongguang to the north and return to the old capital.

The envoy who asked the guilty soldier gave the matter to the Qing side and set off on the road.

When he saw the news for the first time, Mao Jue's first impression was that these bureaucrats in Jiangnan, whether their heads were clamped by the door, not only him, but also the rest of the books looked at each other.

"The prince is here, and King Fu dares to arrogate the emperor, which is simply a big rebellion! Please crusade against it!"

In the end, he is still a traditional bureaucrat, and he is extremely interested in the name, and the first one who is angry is actually Hong Chengchou, Ge Laozi! You orthodox court, where is Lao Tzu's military department book? A black face was flushed with anger, and he held his fist and arched his hand towards Mao Jue.

"There's no rush for this!"

Mao Jue is sober-minded, the conquest of Jiangnan is different from the conquest of the Japanese, it is not a matter of grabbing a handful and running, so a large amount of military supplies are needed to transport south, before the construction of the Xu Lei Railway is completed, he has no plan to rush to the south of the Yangtze River.

Generally speaking, you can't scold you with a big shady fork, and you just go up and beat someone, so don't you pull your IQ and Dasha fork to the same level?

It's just that this name must not be allowed, and after vetoing Hong Chengchou's suggestion, his eyes fell on Song Xiance again.

"How are the princes and kings now?"

"Back to the regent, the three princes and the three kings have not made any changes, they have been living with the old man, because the news is always kept secret, not many people know about it, but Lu Zhong tried to control a few people several times, but they were all stopped by the old man!"

"Waiting for the completion of the imperial examination, the ministries are full of talents, and it is time to increase their exposure, after all, this king is still a concubine, the regent of the crown prince, and this banner has to be carried on."

"However, if someone posts the prince too close......"

Mao Jue didn't say the rest of the words, but a few important ministers, a few generals, the pupils all showed a special chill, now after all, the old Mao family is worth the world!

…………

After a delay, a group of scholars have been in place for a long time, Mao Jue's figure finally appeared in front of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, this time he is a set of grand python dragon robes, the vermilion crown in the reflection of the sun, looks particularly powerful.

Now there are eunuchs in Dongjiang, and there are still many eunuchs in the palace who are willing to use them, but Mao Jue is really not interested in these disabled people who are perverted like women in their hearts, so a certain tall and strong Liao Wang's personal guard was taken out, and Mao Jue slammed his fist into his crotch, with tears and trills, and the tenor of the guard generally shouted.

"The Lord Regent has arrived!"

"Meet the Regent Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

Liu Botao immediately turned over and knelt down on the edge of the chair, kowtowing his head incessantly, however, peeking to the side, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back, and his arrogant young master Dong Shiyun actually sat upright on the chair and didn't move, without the slightest intention of saluting.

Fortunately, he didn't move when he sat upright, and he was not the only scholar who stood up, maybe he wanted to use frivolity to win Mao Jue's attention or simply had ulterior motives to smash the field, there were at least one or two hundred scholars who did not salute, and Dong Shiyun was not conspicuous among them.

The news from the south today is bad enough, thinking about these things is too dismissive for Mao Jue, since the selection of those scholars in the former Ming Dynasty, he has long been mentally prepared for the mixing of Wang Ba mung beans, and he didn't see these people at all, and he preached it in a hurry.

"The first emperor was killed, the Beijing master was catastrophic, and now my Ming Dynasty is in a time when a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived, and there are so many talented people to join, this king is very happy!"

"Wangru and others are diligent, work hard in this examination room, and show what they have learned! He serves the imperial court every day, and this king should regard you and others as his disciples and protégés, and protect the society together!"

This name has to be decided first, it is the official son of Lao Tzu Mao Jue to you, and you have to know who to be loyal to!

"Thank you, Lord Regent!"

Nursery has already been arranged among the candidates, Mao Jue just finished speaking, and immediately the previously arranged scholar knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, the voice was hula, a few people who came to make trouble didn't wait to speak, the voice had been suppressed under the hustle and bustle, and there was no chance to make trouble at all, and when the thanksgiving stopped, Mao Jue didn't know where to go.

Peeking at his young master Dong Shiyun always sitting on the table, although he didn't salute, but he didn't make trouble, Liu Botao finally breathed a sigh of relief, with the invigilator's shouting, he sat back between the seats, helped his Western glasses, and waited for the arrival of the exam papers.

However, as the soldiers holding the basket of exam papers sent down the exam questions like picture scrolls, as soon as the exam papers were unfolded, Liu Botao couldn't help but be stunned there.

He has participated in the imperial examination more than ten times, and in the end, he is really a family with four walls, and he can't support it, so he has no choice but to give up, and he has to be the master, all of the exams are all in the Gongyuan, a candidate has a single room, prepare his own pen and ink, answer the questions for three days, and make a splendid article.

This first question alone made Liu Botao raise his eyebrows, this question is directly copied from the official document of Liaozhen, and asked the candidate to answer, if he is the chief official, how to implement the requirements on the official document.

In particular, there are a few words under the exam questions, which are limited to 100 words!

Looking further down, the questions at the bottom are either arguments or calculations, just like how to collect money, balance income and expenditure, and how to judge cases with some legal tests. The content of the Four Books and the Five Classics is not absent, and it only occupies one-third, and the word count requirement is strictly added after each question.

This made the Ming scholars, who were accustomed to long speeches, simply dumbfounded, and they didn't know how many surprises and sighs sounded at the same time.

However, in the midst of the discussion, Liu Botao suddenly picked up his pen and answered quickly. When Dong Qichang was the county magistrate of Huzhou, he was the master, and he almost single-handedly handled these trivial government affairs, and he spent the initial stunned, and this immediate problem was simply tailor-made for a master of knives and pens like him!

I don't know when to lose the heavy royal clothes, wearing civilian clothes, Mao Jue went around to the back of the examination room again, although he didn't have too much hope for these Ming local scholars, but looking at more than 6,000 people, more than 4,000 were holding pens and staring at the test papers, Mao Jue still couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment, and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly turned back unexpectedly and stunned.

A candidate who was struggling to write and answer the question actually looked back with a feeling, and now he teased him with the regent of the court, and a big flattering eye was actually thrown over.

"It's a mixture! Even the women are coming! ”

Looking at a familiar point, but an unfamiliar back thinking, Mao Jue couldn't help but shake his head helplessly......
