Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters Whampoa
‘Worry about the students from the Royal House of Representatives…’
Zhu Xu looked at Zhou Yingqiu, his eyes moved slightly, and said, "Tell me, look."
Zhou Yingqiu knew the status of the two royal houses in Zhu Xu's heart, and thought for a while and said, "The emperor, the first group, is now qualified to serve as the prefect, but they are not from the background, so they have been suppressed, not only in the capital, but also in the local area. Such contradictions are expanding. The reason why the ministers cooperate with the cabinet and want to suppress them is that they are worried that the officials from the Political Court will join forces. If they continue to continue, they will form new cliques, and they will be more united than in the past and have greater harm..."
The Royal Court was forced by Zhu Xu, and most of the students who came out were arranged in the position of low-level "officials" because most of them had no background, that is, they were in the imperial examination and did not pass the imperial examination.
It may have been inconspicuous before, but now five or six years have passed. In terms of qualifications and abilities, most of them can be promoted on a large scale, but they are stuck on the "diploma".
Zhu Xu had noticed this, nodded slightly, and signaled Zhou Yingqiu to continue.
"This is not difficult," Zhou Yingqiu leaned slightly and said, "Their number is not large, but in the past two years, more than 200 people have entered the officialdom every year, and in the future, most of these students from the State Council have no background, and what they have learned is very different from the past, and it will inevitably have an impact on the officials of the entire Ming Dynasty in the future, and it may appear in less than three to five years. In addition, I have also noticed that some different voices have begun to appear within these students. Cao Dingjiao, Wei Xuelian, and Meng Zhaoxiang are constantly being challenged, but I am afraid that they will also fight each other and embark on the old road of the Donglin Party..."
‘Huangpu!’
Zhu Xu's expression was as normal and his heart was shocked.
Zhou Yingqiu's words may sound alarmist to outsiders, but Zhu Xu knew that this was simply a general trend!
This situation is mixed for Zhu Xu. The advantage is that in the next ten years, he can use this force to carry out a powerful rectification of the Ming Dynasty without worrying about too much resistance. The disadvantage is that this force will form a natural destructive force, that is, the reappearance of the clique is not in line with his original intention.
"What do you think I should do?" Zhu Xu looked at Zhou Yingqiu and said with a thoughtful face.
Since Zhou Yingqiu spoke, he naturally had some ideas, saying, "I believe that the number of students from the Royal Court should be controlled and they cannot be given a chance to connect. The imperial examination that the court will conduct next year will also join, and they will be allowed to take the exam for three consecutive years. If they cannot obtain a Jinshi in three years, they should be 'moved'. The imperial examination must be 'fair and just' and the Royal Court will not be given special treatment..."
Zhu Xu listened, this incident was also one of the sequelae of his urgent reform, but Zhou Yingqiu said a little too much. If the Royal Court is suppressed, it will be somewhat contrary to his purpose of popularizing education and updating the Confucian culture of the Ming Dynasty, which will be detrimental to the future development of the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, with the large-scale relaxation of the commodity economy, some new ideas that should have emerged will appear faster and more. Some ideas of Gu Yanwu and others have appeared, and may be a little more radical in the future than in history. These all require the help of the students of the political court, and the old scholars will continue to boycott them. Li Zhi was forced to death by Zhu Xu in the end and would not allow this situation to happen again!
"Well, I will let Zhao Han stare at this matter. There is no such situation as you mentioned at the moment. I will indeed curb it in the future. It is necessary to remove the drought and preserve the essence. Next year's imperial examination will be a touchstone."
Zhu Xudao. Next year's imperial examination will essentially be a national joint examination by the Royal Court, and it only allows young people of appropriate age across the country to participate in the unified competition.
Of course, the person under the ban is still excluded.
What Zhou Yingqiu said was just a precaution. Seeing that Zhu Xu heard it, he said, "Yes. What other ministers said in the memorial book is almost the same. Lu Daqi is also a capable official. With his help for a while, Lord Zhao will soon become familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel, and I will not worry."
Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Well, it's probably not easy to walk along the way. When you arrive at Shanhaiguan, chat with Xiong Tingbi. If necessary, go to North Korea. Now I don't have the heart to care about North Korea. However, building bridges and roads should encourage North Korea to do it and strengthen ties with Liaodong. The same is true at sea. As long as the ships traveling to and from Shandong, Vladivostok and other places are encouraged, North Korea is also a strategic location and cannot be ignored..."
These are all relatively casual topics. Zhou Yingqiu raised his hand and said, "Yes, I will pay attention. The snow is getting heavier and heavier now. The emperor should go back earlier and don't send it to you."
Along the way, Zhu Xu was a little confident. Zhou Yingqiu shouldn't have any trouble in Liaodong. He said, "I will send you here, take care of you all the way."
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty went out of the city to give it to others, but it was definitely the first example of giving it to him as relaxed and natural as the one in front of him.
"I thank the emperor!" Zhou Yingqiu rested on the ground and said in a deep voice.
Zhu Xu waved his hand with a smile, and when the carriage stopped, he got off the carriage and watched Zhou Yingqiu's carriage rush to Shanhaiguan in the snow and ice.
Behind him was a carriage turning around and an escort guard.
Cao Huachun looked up at the sky and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhao is almost time to enter Beijing."
Zhu Xu let out a sigh of relief, looked at the snow getting heavier and he said, "Well, go back to the cabinet."
On the way back to the palace, two women in white appeared at Liu Rushi and Su Xi, a corner not far from Lu Daqi's mansion.
The two of them stood there with umbrellas and for a while, there was already thick snow under their feet.
Su Xi looked at the closed door of Lu Daqi's mansion and said in confusion, "Miss, is the person you are looking for? Is he not a royal family? Should he go to the Tenth Prince's Mansion?"
Liu Rushi shook his head gently and said, "Brother Zhu is in Ji. Nan used the post of Shilang Lu. Although it may be a fake identity, he must have a close relationship with Shilang Lu and may come here."
Liu Rushi had no choice. Everyone who should have walked around had already walked, but no one was willing to help. In fact, no one could help. The cabinet elder Wang Qiaonian was the judge, the minister of justice Zhang Wenda, the minister of the Ministry of Justice Shen Xun, and the minister of the Ministry of Personnel Lü Daqi, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who had the energy to say and plead for mercy?
The only way is to find "Zhu Muyu", hoping that he would say something to relieve Qian Qianyi's guilt and release it as soon as possible, which can be regarded as a complete settlement of her relationship with Qian Qianyi.
"Miss, it's not a solution for us to wait like this. Mr. Lu won't see us. Is there any other way?" Su Xi was cold in his hands and feet, and he frowned at Liu Rushi.
Liu Rushi had long recalled the experience of meeting "Zhu Muyu". He really couldn't find any other way. He shook his head gently and said, "The emperor has always been low-key, and everyone around him is also unknown. Since Brother Zhu has borrowed his identity, he naturally doesn't want me to know."
"But they are more like here in front of the palace gate..."
Before Su Xi finished speaking, he turned his head and saw a carriage passing by quickly from a corner not far away. He said, "Miss, that carriage is the same as we have seen in Dali Temple..."
Liu Rushi's beautiful eyes suddenly opened. He was about to step to chase after him, and suddenly exclaimed, and he was about to fall into the snow.
"Miss!" Su Xi hurriedly supported her.
"Chasing!" Liu Rushi struggled and trot forward without caring about the sourness and numbness.
Su Xi hurriedly supported her, but when she walked to the road, she could no longer see the carriage. She chased another street, but she still couldn't see the carriage.
Su Xi looked at Liu Rushi who was frowning and biting his lips in pain, and said softly: "Miss, forget it, you are really destined to be with this young master Zhu, why bother to torture yourself like this?"
Liu Rushi has always been stubborn, but his eyes are a little confused.
She came to the capital to find Zhu Muyu, and the other was to rescue Qian Qianyi. Now she couldn't do any of them. The opportunity was right in front of her, watching it flowing through so much.
This is the most complicated place in the east of the city, with a 70% and 80% off roads. I don’t know where the carriage is heading.
"Go back." Su Xi advised again, she had seen the redness and swollenness of Liu Rushi's ankles.
Liu Rushi was unwilling to give up, but at the same time he had no choice. It was too difficult to find someone in such a huge capital.
At this time, Zhao Han's carriage approached the capital as scheduled, and many people outside the city gate were looking forward to it and looking out from afar.
Zhao Han had already received the appointment many days ago, but Shanxi had too many government affairs, so he had to make some preparations when he left at the end of the year, so he took a few days off and then hurried into Beijing.
In the carriage, two staff members accompanied him, walking along the way, analyzing the Beijing Bureau.
One of them said, "Sir, the water in the capital is too deep. Who would have expected that Shangshu Zhou and Shangshu Fu would both leave Beijing?"
"Yes, King Jing and Wang Qiaonian both entered the cabinet, who could guess? We are becoming more and more confused about this bureau." Another frowned.
This is completely different from their past views. It is completely unpredictable that they have no idea which direction they are going to develop in.
Zhao Han sat east and west, already very majestic. He looked motionless and shook his head secretly.
These two people are still very insightful in the west of the mountain, but they will be beaten back to their original form when they arrive in the capital. They don’t know, but they know very well in their hearts.
The court bureau in the capital is not about looking at the cabinet or the thoughts of the adults of the six ministries, but about the will of the emperor in the palace!
If the emperor does not nod, who can drive away the officials and the Minister of the Household Department? If the emperor does not nod, what qualifications are Wang Qiaonian and King Jing to enter the cabinet?
Although the cabinet seems to be in the limelight and controls the power, if one day the emperor intends to abolish the cabinet, take charge of the six ministries again, and command the world, it is just a matter of one sentence!
The Ming Dynasty is still the emperor's!
Zhao Han looked as usual and his heart was as clear as a mirror. He listened to the words of the two aides, and his heart was not fluctuating.
Not long after, the accompanying guard came over and reported: "Sir, someone is greeted by the city gate. Do you want to stop?"
If it were the past officials, they would have to get off the bus, treat the virtuous and intimate, and ask about their well-being.
"Enter the palace directly!" Zhao Han said in a deep voice. In the capital, you must keep yourself clean, not because you are afraid of giving others a good reputation, but because the emperor in the palace has other ideas. This is also one of his experiences.
"Yes." The accompanying guard stepped forward, directed the carriage to accelerate suddenly, and rushed straight to the city gate.
A group of people at the city gate were already smiling, and they were stunned when they saw it. No one dared to step forward to block the carriage, and just watched Zhao Han's carriage pass through them and enter the city gate.
More than twenty people were quite confused and looked at each other.
Qi Yutang's husband was also in the crowd, watching the carriage disappearing in front of him, and he was dazed. He had already spent more than twenty taels of silver, which was a huge sum of money!
