Chapter 802: It’s the fragrance of the Gui List again (Zhong)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Wenyuan Pavilion.

After coming out of the chief minister's room, Chen Si couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. As expected, after hearing his reward, Xu Jie first said nothing for a long time, then looked at him with a scrutiny, and said indifferently: "At this time, you have to stand a good stand." Then he let him come out.

It seems that Xu Jie made up his mind to protect the censors consistently; and the one in the palace also determined to protect the eunuchs, the emperor and the prime minister fought on one side, and they were very stanced to fight.

Depressed under the vineyard, I heard the familiar footsteps silently, and shook my head helplessly and sighed: "It's not this, it's not this..."

"What's not this?" A magnetic voice sounded, and it was Brother Taiyue with a beautiful beard.

"So it's you." Chen Si turned around and looked at him in a mess, saying, "Nothing..."

"I think you are a difficult wife between two aunts." Zhang Juzheng looked at him and stood side by side with him and said, "It's not that easy to get along with each other."

Chen Si sneered in his heart: 'You can do it.' But he said with a sad face: "Taiyue, you are standing and talking without any pain."

"Calm up." Zhang Juzheng said in a deep voice: "This is not the Shen Jiangnan I know."

"Oh..." Silently rubbed his temples: "I am now in trouble with internal and external affairs. The thousands of problems in the ministry are enough to make me feel sad. Puzhou Duke once again inserted his foot. I have the feeling of a veteran tribe. Do you understand... Oh no, you should have it."

"Yes." Zhang Juzhengshen nodded with approval and said, "I have achieved nothing in the past six months and I am very envious of you for making a difference."

"It's time for me to envy you now." Chen Si smiled bitterly: "Taiyue, you are better than me, and you can stay out of the matter forever, and now you are relaxed."

Zhang Juzheng looked stern, and then smiled and said, "What are you saying? Now that the vortex is now formed, no one can get rid of it." He said in a deep voice: "Jiangnan, listen to me, both sides will inevitably face each other's tit-for-tat. If you hesitate, you will definitely suffer."

"Well, I understand." Chen Shunting pointed his head, looked at Zhang Juzheng deeply and said, "Thank you for the reminder."

Zhang Juzheng nodded and the two separated.

Looking at his leaving figure, Zhang Juzheng fell into deep thought. Although his silent performance was in line with his expectations, this guy was so terrible that you could not see through his true thoughts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sitting in the sedan chair in silence, his face turned gloomy. Zhang Taiyue was indeed a clever one. The censor regarded him as the spokesperson of Xu Ge Lao and regarded his words as the standard. Although his connection with the eunuch was very secret, what happened in the capital was even more than a palm-slapped place. What happened in the Jinyiwei... Zhang Juzheng's butler You Qi recently had a close relationship with a businessman named Xu Wanguan. Although Xu Wanguan claimed to have started from scratch to create a big business, he actually relied on the relationship in the palace... He had a distant cousin named Xu Jue, and Xu Jue was the butler of Feng Bao's house.

Speaking of Feng Bao, Chen Si could only sigh helplessly. In fact, the relationship between this eunuch and himself was quite acceptable. But after he was in a high position, he cherished his feathers and was not convenient to deal with the eunuch temples more... This is a very contradictory proposition. At any time, the relationship with the palace is very important. There is no need to discuss the era when Liu Jin took charge of the government. Just talking about the Jiajing Dynasty, the emperor suppressed the eunuchs and the influence of eunuchs reached the minimum. However, Yan Song defeated Xia Yan, who had always looked down on eunuchs with these rootless people.

Xu Jie was able to compete with Yan Song later, and one of the reasons was that he also paid great attention to making friends with the inner surveillance, such as Li Fang, Huang Jin, Ma Sen, etc., who were kind to him... This would prevent the danger of no one talking when the other eunuch made small reports. Then when he tripped Yan Song, Xu Jie quickly became alienated from the inner surveillance. The reason was that as the chief minister, he had to cherish his feathers and was very close to the eunuch temple, which would inevitably arouse the disgust of the Qingliushilin and then become famous.

In this dynasty, because everyone is not clean under their butts, they can only die together. Therefore, political struggles are often moralized. Good morality means everything is good, and bad morality means everything is bad. Except for being an official in a small place where the sky is high and the emperor is far away and no one cares about it, being an official is just a reputation. If your reputation is good, you will have a high blood and will be unbeaten in the east; but once your reputation is corrupt, it will be like being broken into defense and the fate will be miserable.

Therefore, Xu Jie had an interview with the eunuch before, and he could explain it by fighting against Yan Song, but once Yan Song left, he had no reason to be close to them again. Building a good scholar is the right way... This is almost the only choice to preserve the reputation.

The silent mental journey is similar to Xu Jie. He was a humble official and was not a big deal with the eunuch, but now he is a prime minister and has no reason to make friends with eunuchs... After all, his teacher is the chief minister and he is the emperor's teacher. In Shilin's opinion, such conditions are that Vajra is indestructible. If he still curses his inner officials, he will be a pity.

Silence is aware that the future is difficult and the difficulties you encounter now are less than one-tenth of the future. If you look forward to the long-term, you don’t have to keep your 'glorious and upright' all the time, but you must also keep an innocent body so that you can stabilize the lower plate and stand firm in the storm of the future, so as not to fail because of your reputation.

The reason why silence stopped so early was also a lesson learned from Xu Jie... Although Xu Ge Lao Afu Yan Song and Qu Shi's late emperor had no choice, how to cover it up now has become a material for others to attack. At present, Xu Ge Lao is at its peak, of course he is not afraid, but there are no subjects who will last forever? Maybe when will he be caught out and criticized again in the future, it will be enough for him to drink a pot of food.

Not taking advantage of right and wrong, not provoking cause and effect is the long-term strategy for being an official. Unless your power and strategy can be as superior as Zhang Juzheng, the censors will think that he is his own person, and the eunuchs will regard him as a good friend, and no one will feel disgusted because he is a friend of the other party. Zhang Juzheng is good at dancing on the wire, but he is very comfortable and does not disappoint Xu Jie's expectations for him.

Silently asked himself, he was indeed unable to compare with Zhang Juzheng in this regard, and what made him more concerned was that there was no airtight wall in the world? Such a sword would inevitably leave behind future troubles. As a leader of a faction, he should try his best to avoid such tricks and act as a decent army, and to fight the enemy according to the rules of the battlefield. Only those who abide by the rules can use the rules for me without being beaten by them. This is the truth that Uncle Tang taught him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just like Zhang Juzheng can't see through silence, silence cannot fully understand his routine. Fortunately, the two of them have long been used to this kind of rhino hanging horns and Jin Hook Lengyue's move. If you can keep up, everyone will cooperate and advance and retreat together. If they don't get involved at all, even if you cheat together, they will not blame others.

But this time, no matter how Zhang Juzheng made a move, he did not intend to respond immediately, because the authorities were confused and the bystanders were clear. He knew that the struggle between eunuchs and censors was essentially a battle between the power of the monarch and the power of the ministers... Although most of the time, this competition was unfair, the supreme status of the former determines that he could use violence without following the rules after he had no choice but to bear it weakly. However, the two sides this time were the rare monarch of soft and forgiving and the other was the rare Shuode veteran. This determined that the battle could not be decided immediately, but it would probably evolve into a tug-of-war. Once it reached the stalemate stage, there would inevitably be variables. With his current strength, he could wait and see before making a choice.

Although this will be a bit difficult and the rewards will not be too high, the same thing is said: As a leader of a faction, you must be stable first, be invincible, and then seek progress and gain. This is the right way.

I don't know if it was his star shining or his unluckyness, just when the censors fired thousands of cannons and formed a general attack on the eunuchs, a news from the south shocked the court and the public and suddenly diverted people's attention.

On September 13, Nanjing 800 miles rushed to report: "On the tenth day of the lunar month, Yingtian's provincial examination was announced. The examiners Wang Xilie, Sun Ying and others visited the Confucian Temple. Hundreds of those who failed the examination gathered together and spoke fiercely, and they besieged the examiner. The Nanjing Department of Justice ordered the Nanjing Ministry of Justice to suppress the rebellion. There was a fierce conflict between the two sides, killing and injured several people. Later, the troublemakers held Wang and Sun hostage, retreated to the Confucian Temple, blocking the door with Confucius' statues, and confronted the officers and soldiers. Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei of Nanjing, sat down for hearing the change, and the Nandu was temporarily on alert. Please send the imperial envoy to deal with it quickly.'

This year is the year of the competition. The autumn examinations are released in mid-August and the tenth day of September are released. These are traditions that have been passed down for many years. The number of places admitted is limited, and every time nine people are lonely and one person laughs, but there has never been a precedent in which the candidates who failed the exam besieged the main examination and almost smashed the Confucian Temple. Do they want to completely ruin their lives? This is really strange.

However, I didn't bother to sigh that the imperial examination was a national talent ceremony, which was related to the dignity of the court, and was the basis for maintaining the central government's rule. It was solemn and sacred and sacred. The imperial examination was nothing small, not to mention that this matter itself was not small. Did they just want to vent their anger? Xu Jie would never believe it and immediately ordered Nanjing to quickly send hidden information.

The order was still on the way, and the second Nanjing memorial was sent again, explaining the cause of the conflict... It turned out that it was caused by the change in the admission quota.

On March 15 this year, Geng Ding, the chief censor of Zhili, wrote a memorial on the upcoming provincial examination. The first five items were of no novelty. They were all like "The chief examiner of the provincial examination in the two capitals should choose the best candidates for those with excellent academic qualifications, and should not be considered seniority; the chief examiner only gave the first exam papers. Then he reviewed the same exam separately, and it was not appropriate to have a special committee member to avoid missing the real talent and knowledgeable people. It emphasized prevention of possible disadvantages, which was also considered as the basis for the question.

However, the sixth article - "There are no characters in the first examination of the two Beijings, and the test papers are not divided into the words of each room, and the examiners are selected for the best candidates." However, it greatly touched the nerves of the supervisors.

As the name suggests, students who graduated from the Imperial College. However, after more than a hundred years of evolution, they can no longer be discussed, but can be divided into four categories: 未分类, tribute supervisor, yin supervisor, and regular supervisor. 未分类 refers to those who failed to be elected in the imperial examination and were then sent to the Imperial College for the Hanlin Academy for the best selection; tribute supervisor means to be admitted to the Imperial College with talent contribution. In the early Hongwu regulations, one tribute student in the world would be studied at the Imperial College every year. However, because the standards for tribute students were just empty, only those who had been eating for a long time were often the first, and some older and unscientific people were often in the prison and studied, so the academic performance of the prison was poor. By the time of Emperor Xiaozong, he was selected in addition to tribute to each prefecture, prefecture and county, and passed the examination to select tribute to the Imperial College for study.

In addition, children of third-rank officials or above or grand relatives can also be admitted to the prison, which is called Yinjian; while the general supervision refers to those who have affairs in the country and lack of money, after ordinary people take grain to the government, they are allowed to enter the prison to learn... Those who want to take the provincial examination before entering the prefecture, prefecture, county school and want to take the provincial examination, or want to enter the official position without obtaining the title of a subject, must first donate to the prison student. As a background, they often do not study in the prison. For example, the silent cousin Chen Jing and Gaoling, who obtained a background in this way, are qualified to be the magistrate of Shanghai County.

It is obvious that the quality of the students in the ranks is uneven. Although there are those with deep knowledge and talent, most of them are old and stupid, or even ignorant. Why are students from all over the country still flocking to them? What is the point of breaking the quota for a rank of students? The secret is not only that the students in the ranks of students to directly take the provincial examination, but also that the state has always given great preferential treatment for the admission quota.

Originally, only scholars from the provinces could participate in the provincial examination. However, there were exceptions. As the districts of the two capitals, students of the Imperial College in Beijing can participate in the Shuntian Provincial Examination, and students of the Imperial College in Nanjing can participate in the Yingtian Provincial Examination. In addition, the font size of the "花" is specially compiled in the test papers of the two capitals, which are taken from the bottom of the "花" and are the code name of the Imperial College student document paper. And the most powerful thing is that the font size of the two capitals is thirty-five.

In other words, as long as you are a supervisor in the Imperial College, you don’t have to squeeze into a single-plank bridge with other candidates, and you can compete with three or five hundred students who are also supervisors... Although the admission ratio is still 10 to one, considering the overall quality of supervisors, if you have a little real talent and knowledge, it is very likely that Chinese style, so it has always been regarded as a shortcut.

However, the controversy over such separate admission has always been great, especially the Nanzhi Examination District, which is a prosperous hometown in Jiangnan. The quality of candidates ranks among the country. It is even recognized by the Scholars that as long as they pass the selection layer by layer, the candidates who are qualified to enter the examination are higher than the Chinese-style examinations in some remote provinces. Therefore, the competition in Yingtian’s provincial examination has always been extremely cruel. Every time there are countless young handsome men full of knowledge and hate the examination room... In this case, the special preferential treatment of candidates with the "dish" font in the imperial court is particularly irritating to their nerves, believing that it is very unfair to take the same exam but the same papers are different. Therefore, there must be a call for the cancellation of such privileges six months before each provincial examination. Although the court refused to make changes on the grounds that the ancestral system should not be changed without permission. However, as the quality of the supervisory students becomes worse and worse, this call is also increasing, and many people in the court have joined in to promote this matter together.

Geng Dingxiang, the Nanjing Supervisor who proposed to abolish the privilege of "花" this time, was a great success. He was a Jinshi in the same year. If Chenshi was the official leader of the Bingchen subject, he was the leader in the ideological field in this subject. Before the lecture at Lingji Palace, although Chenshi was the top scorer, his influence in the academic community was really incomparable to him.

Geng Dingxiang is the mainstream representative of the Taizhou School. When he entered the Beijing Examination, he was qualified to give lectures. Although he had no time to participate, even if he had time, no one would buy other accounts. As an academic representative of the Bingchen Department, Geng Dingxiang also received strong support from his fellow students. In the 41st year of Jiajing, he supervised Nandu. Later, he focused on Nanjing and discussed his studies with Wang Ji, Luo Rufang and other Wang Xue predecessors, opened Chongzheng Academy, accepted disciples, visited various prefectures, personally presided over the lectures, and gave lectures with students. His influence had exceeded that of the old seniors, and he was known as the great scholar of the world.

When Geng Daru climbed up and called out, he naturally gathered people. At that time, countless admirers and students wrote letters to echo. Especially Zhao Zhenji, the newly revived Minister of Rites, also belonged to the Taizhou School. During his time in the wild, he was a guest at Chongzheng Academy for a year. The two of them sat down to discuss the story, admired each other, and became friends for a long time. Zhao Zhenji himself was also a very upright and fair person, so he naturally supported him with all his strength.

The proposal was sent to the cabinet, and Xu Jie was not good at opposing it due to the sympathy of Zhao Zhenji and the Taizhou School; Gao Gong, who was still in the cabinet at that time, agreed to the elimination of privileges, so the cabinet also passed it. The cabinet passed it, and Long Qing naturally passed it, so the matter was decided.

So the students in the provincial examinations of the two capitals were indeed removed from the size of the font size and changed to unified admission. As a result, there were only a few Chinese-style students in the Imperial College in Nanjing, which was three-quarters less than before. The students who were already angry were angry at that time and surrounded the examiners Wang Xilie and Sun Ying in the Confucian Temple, demanding that the size of the font size be restored and the admission was re-enrolled.

This is the beginning and end of this incident. As of the latest news, the two sides are still stalemate. If they are not handled carefully, there will inevitably be a huge scandal.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhenji, the Minister of Rites, was furious and came to the cabinet and asked to go to Nanjing to deal with the matter in person.

However, Xu Jie saw his hair and hair that was wide open, but shook his head and said, "You can't go." Even though Zhao Zhenji is in his sixties and has a rough career, his strong personality has never changed. Nanjing is already in dire straits. If he sends this guy, why don't he get furious immediately?

He had to send a master to remove firewood from the cauldron. Xu Jie's first reaction was that he thought of his good student.
