After the eunuchs distributed the papers, the Gongsheng students took their seats.

Ouyang Zhi sat down, looked down at the paper, and saw three words written on the blank paper—Ping Milu.

The Milu rebellion, but anyone who has read the latest Gongsheng report knows what the Milu rebellion is all about.

This rebellion has lasted for nearly a year.

Last time, the imperial court dismissed a mid-level official, a governor, and a chief soldier. After that, the imperial court sent Wang Shi, the minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War, but even so, the army was frustrated.

Under such circumstances, His Majesty used this as an examination question, which in a sense also proved that the current rebellion is the top priority.

In fact, at the beginning, many people speculated that the biggest topic of this policy issue might be the current severe drought near the capital. This severe drought has lasted for nearly two months, and there has been no rain so far. For His Majesty who is concerned about farming, Drought control may be the focus of this discussion.

And no one thought that His Majesty did not play cards according to common sense.

Ouyang Zhi thought for a while, and immediately thought of what his mentor had said about this matter.

The mentor believes that in order to calm down Miru, we must take the initiative to attack, select people who are familiar with mountain warfare, organize them into a battalion, and look for fighters everywhere. deal with.

After all, these chieftains are much weaker than the imperial court. As long as the imperial court persists in sending out mountain battalions to attack, every point the rebels lose will reduce their strength. Ready for immediate replenishment and drill...

call……

Ouyang Zhi will always remember the words of his mentor.

think about it...

Ouyang Zhi didn't hesitate, and immediately polished the ink, and while he was preparing the draft in his heart, he picked up the pen.

Jiang Chen and Liu Wenshan, after seeing this question, also had concerns in their hearts.

And Tang Yin?

Like Ouyang Zhi and the other three, he doesn't really know much about military equipment, but he still remembers it. His teacher said it before, so he followed his teacher's teaching, and the point now is, How to write a beautiful article, so, in this point, he is different from the honest three of Ouyang Zhi, his mind is more on the choice of words and sentences.

Only Xu Jing's eyes flickered, as if hesitating.

On the other side, when Wang Shouren saw this question, he had already made up his mind.

He is very familiar with the matter of Ma Zheng. After all, he has learned so much art of war, and he has also traveled to border towns to visit many close friends of his father, such as Li Dongyang. He has also heard Li Gong discuss this matter, how to govern Soldiers, how to suppress thieves, always have some ideas in mind.

So he pondered for a while, and began to write. He is a person with the world in mind. The chaos in Miru has long worried him. Occasionally, his father would tell him about the current situation. Because of this, this kind of worry is in his heart. The bottom of my heart is infinitely enlarged.

It wasn't until noon that Wang Shouren finished writing an eloquent article. With his sore wrist, he read his article carefully, and immediately felt refreshed and happy.

So he secretly raised his eyes, glanced at the emperor who was sitting high and upright, and nodded secretly in his heart.

In the year of Chenghua, the former emperor was said to have been in the deep palace all the time, so he didn't even want to participate in the court meeting. Even if it was a three-year palace examination, he just appointed an eunuch to do the questions.

In fact, it is a difficult thing to sit in the Palace of Preservation and Harmony. On the one hand, the emperor sits for a whole day in the palace examination, and he has to show the majesty of the emperor. This is not something ordinary people can bear. The reason why the emperor was lazy.

And today's Long Live, although not full of energy, has been sitting here all the time, neither absent nor leaving halfway, and just simply used some pastries, this alone shows that His Majesty is diligent, not Out of nowhere.

At dusk, the evening bell was rang outside, and the bell rang three times in a row, with a long lingering sound!

Then Wang Ao coughed and said, "Seal the paper."

"Seal the volume..."

"Seal the volume..."

The eunuchs sang, one after another, echoing in the empty Palace of Preserving Harmony.

Outside the hall, eunuchs filed in one after another, shuttled around the files, and began to collect the papers one by one according to the test number. They placed the test papers in each tray, and they did not need to paste the names, but after the papers were collected leave now.

Immediately afterwards, these scrolls will be sorted out and placed on the emperor's desk.

More than 300 test papers are a big project. Generally speaking, the emperor and the cabinet ministers will review the papers together. After that, an auspicious day will be selected to issue the list.

After the papers were collected, all living beings lined up and saluted, and then the eunuchs led them out of the palace.

Emperor Hongzhi looked extremely tired. He was not in good health, and he sat withered for another day, and he even held back when he came out.

It's not that he can't show respect, it's just that for him, it's better to be more solemn in such a talent ceremony. During the palace examination, he had specially observed several of Fang Jifan's disciples, as well as Wang Shouren.

The reason to observe Wang Shouren is that Wang Shouren is the son of Wang Hua, and he also heard something about it from Li Dongyang. Li Dongyang is usually reticent, but he is very optimistic about this young man, thinking that he has a great chance in this imperial examination. Stand out and beat the crowd.

This son doesn't seem to be in a hurry, but he has a bit of a minister's style.

Everyone in Ouyang Zhi, also

It looks calm and can be used a lot.

The three of Ouyang Zhi are honest people, and Emperor Hongzhi is also an honest person. He pays attention to orderliness. Although he gave birth to an unreliable prince, his standards for people are just like this.

That Tang Yin, the one on the left side of the copybook, he was a bit casual, he finished the question in just over an hour, but he started to look around, it can be seen that this rumored talent needs tempering.

That Xu Jing...

Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly.

He somewhat apologized to Xu Jing.

The emperor shouldn't have apologized to others. If you are wronged, you will be wronged. How do you treat it? If the king wants his ministers to die, the ministers must die. Most of the sons of heaven, under the stars and the moon, have such thoughts.

Emperor Hongzhi, on the other hand, has always been generous and paid too much attention to human feelings.

So looking at this person with a certain sense of indebtedness, I feel that this person has given me a good impression.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late." An old eunuch approached Emperor Hongzhi and reminded him in a low voice.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and stretched out his hand: "Come on, give me a hand, hey, it's been a long time since I sat down for so long, old man."

The name of this old eunuch is Xiao Jing, this person is the eunuch who holds the pen in the palace, in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies, has been serving Emperor Hongzhi, he is Hongzhi's most trusted confidant in the palace.

Dragging his obese body, he quickly helped Emperor Hongzhi up, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is in full bloom, and he is not old. This man, after sitting for a long time, will inevitably feel a little numb."

Emperor Hongzhi was noncommittal, but there was a bit of anxiety in the depths of his eyes.

"What is the prince doing recently?"

"I'm recuperating."

In addition to the eunuch who supervised ceremonies and Bingbi, Xiao Jing also served as the Dongchang. Although at the time of Emperor Hongzhi, the Dongchang was almost useless and was tightly suppressed by Emperor Hongzhi, but with this Dongchang, Xiao Jing was still able to see and hear. .

To a certain extent, Xiao Jing is the eyes and ears of Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi said with a cold face, "This injury hasn't healed yet."

Xiao Jing only smiled, but didn't make a sound.

Emperor Hongzhi walked a few steps tremblingly supported by him, and said: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't hide it."

Xiao Jingcai said: "Your Majesty is too harsh on His Highness, His Royal Highness, after all, is His Majesty's only son, if there is any mistake, this..."

"You don't understand!" Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "Because he is the only son, he has to be harsh. Have you seen that Ouyang Zhi?"

Xiao Jing was taken aback.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "How?"

Xiao Jing thought for a while: "This servant always thinks that he is weird and his eyes are dull."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "This is what is called prudence. You see, when I talk to him, he plays the right words, and he is neither too fast nor too slow. Every time he answers, he speaks slowly. What is this? Look at the prince, what is this? Does it look like me? You haven't seen his tail sticking up to the sky. Fang Jifan...although he likes to mess around occasionally, but when it comes to educating people, he still has a way."

Xiao Jing didn't dare to argue anymore, he nodded quickly: "Your Majesty's words are very true."

Emperor Hongzhi immediately said: "Send someone to Zhan Shifu and tell the prince that I know he has recovered from his injury, don't pretend to be dead there, and let him study in Minglun Hall obediently tomorrow. If he doesn't go, I will really let him go." He can't get off the ground."

This sentence was left behind: "Also, pass on my oral order that cabinet scholars Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian will enter the palace at Maoshi tomorrow and accompany me to review the papers."

...

At this time, Zhu Houzhao was lying on the couch eating chicken legs, his hands were already greasy, and Liu Jin surrounded him, smiling.

"Come on, get some water to drink. Fang Jifan is nothing. Ben Gong was seriously injured, and he didn't come to visit. Did he forget that he was a reading companion? What has he been doing lately?"

Although Zhu Houzhao was injured, his complexion was very rosy. The chicken legs were delicious, and soon he gnawed into a skeleton. He took the water, took a sip, and sucked his fingers in a very unimpressive manner: "What kind of shit imperial doctor , asked him to heal the injury, he told Ben Gong to drink porridge, saying that the serious injury had not healed, and he needed to be supplemented slowly..."

Liu Jin hurriedly passed the handkerchief to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Highness, didn't you say that the serious injury was not healed? The imperial doctor saw that His Highness...has not recovered, and thought it was an internal injury, so...be more thoughtful. As for Fang Bai Hu, his disciples are going to take a palace test today, so..."

"Oh." Zhu Houzhao lay down, and suddenly cried out: "Oh, my head hurts again, hurry up and report to the imperial hospital, and go to the imperial doctor, saying that my head hurts again, and my father beat me too hard , This time, he is really seriously injured, let's go."

"Oh, oh." In fact, Liu Jin was very worried that he would be caught and beheaded because he followed His Royal Highness to deceive the king, so he seemed very hesitant, and could not help reminding: "Your Highness, your mouth, It needs to be wiped clean, there is still oil, and the imperial doctor will come later..."

"roll!"……
