Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 30 The Birth of Three Talents

  Emperor Hongzhi first looked at Yang Tinghe, then at Zhu Houzhao, and then said to Yang Tinghe in a friendly manner: "It's okay for the Qing family to say."

Yang Ting and Su Rong said: "His Royal Highness, I have been absent-minded in studying these few days. I also found out that during class, His Highness secretly hid a grasshopper in his sleeve. I tried to teach His Highness the homework, but found that I used to be familiar with it." The book, I have completely forgotten it now, I... dare not slander Your Highness's name, but I am very worried about this, if Your Highness continues like this, I am afraid that in the future..."

  Emperor Hongzhi's face pulled down instantly, his eyes turned cold, and he glared at Zhu Houzhao viciously.

  Zhu Houzhao's face was pale, and he didn't dare to vent his breath.

Emperor Hongzhi was worried about the prince's education. None of the Hanlin officials and Zhan Shifu's lecturers and attendants praised His Highness for being smart, but the prince was too naughty. The poor hair made Emperor Hongzhi very sad.

  Just in front of the Hanlin, Emperor Hongzhi kept his face and only said to Yang Tinghe: "I understand."

   Fortunately, at this time, someone broke the embarrassment, and the **** outside sang: "Wang Ao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, see you."

   Not long after, Wang Ao walked into the hall, bowed down and saluted: "My minister, Wang Ao, is ordered to take the Shuntianfu Township Examination, and I'm here to submit the order."

Emperor Hongzhi's heart was cast in a shadow because of the crown prince's matter. This kind of anxiety made him worried, but he still cheered up and said: "Aiqing has worked hard, and I want to take a look at the list. Also, next time Let’s release the rankings, the examinees have been waiting for it for a long time.”

   "Follow the order." Wang Ao got up and stood aside.

   Then, an **** carefully brought the admission list of this year's Beizhili Township Examination and put it on the imperial case of Emperor Hongzhi.

  This list is wrapped in red paper, and Emperor Hongzhi is obviously very interested in it, and he is about to open the list to see.

But when it comes to the township examination, one of the Hanlin officials stood up at this time: "Your Majesty, I also have something to report. I heard that a few days ago, there was a memorial to impeach the censor, and it was suppressed. The person who played was Fang Jifan, Nanhe Bozi. This person is really dishonorable, and he acted mischievously, coercing three scholars to worship him as a teacher, which delayed their future. After hearing this, I feel sorry for these three scholars every time I think of it. It's really not easy to study hard, but because of the absurdity of the evil master in the capital, the future is ruined. I secretly think that your majesty must not ignore this because the evil master is related to Nan Hebo. Your majesty treats scholars well, and the scholars in the world , all praise, if this makes scholars suspicious, I am only afraid that rumors and rumors will cause suspicion in the palace."

   It's another matter of the Fang family's less evil.

In fact, after the review, it was time to assign dispatches. The other honorable children were all filled into the various pro-military forces. Let's take a look for now.

   Now thinking that this kid knows how to cause trouble, who is not easy to provoke, but he chooses to provoke scholars, he can't help feeling angry. Are scholars easy to provoke?

   Last time, Xie Qian, a cabinet scholar, made a special trip to talk about this matter. Now even Hanlin has come to mention it again. It can be seen that Fang Jifan has stabbed a hornet's nest this time. I am afraid that many scholars are already filled with righteous indignation.

  This guy, it seems that it's time to beat and beat, he ruins his future, he knows how to mess around all day long, how can he be virtuous with his son...

  With a cold face, he said in a vicious voice: "Decree to issue an order, and at the same time, order the Metropolitan Procuratorate to conduct a thorough investigation."

  The Hanlin official breathed a sigh of relief. Once the Metropolitan Procuratorate conducts a thorough investigation, the Fang family's villain will finally be in trouble. Thinking that that guy is rampant in the capital, it is really a disgrace to the court. Punish him and see if he is honest or not.

Emperor Hongzhi had already sat down, and re-examined the list on the case. He gently peeled off the red paper, his face was solemn, and Emperor Hongzhi even had a solemn look in his eyes. Then, he opened the list, entered The first name of the purpose made him slightly taken aback.

The imperial officials are also stretching their necks and tiptoes at this moment. Although they know that no matter how much they stretch their necks, they will not be able to see the list, but it still does not prevent them from having great curiosity. The township examination always arouses the speculation of many ministers.

   "Who is Ouyang Zhi...?" Emperor Hongzhi looked around.

  Everyone was silent, and couldn't remember who came.

   "Where's Jiang Chen?"

   "..."

   "There is another person, Liu Wenshan, have you heard of it?"

not a single one.

   are all unknown people.

   Logically speaking, everyone will have heard of any gifted scholar. After all, the ministers are all scholars, and they always pay attention to the affairs of Shilin.

   But most people don't seem to have much impression of the three names that His Majesty is reading now.

   But it is said that Liu An, whose name is Jianren, is the one who stands out the most in this provincial examination. Why, is he not on the list?

  Emperor Hongzhi pondered: "I seem to have some impression of these three names, but... where have I heard of them?"

  Just a reminder to Emperor Hongzhi.

   Suddenly, someone remembered something.

  These three names sound familiar.

   It's just that the man seemed unsure, so his lips pursed, appearing hesitant.

   "Strange!" Emperor Hongzhi frowned even deeper. Where did these three people come from? If it is a talented person, there are so many imperial officials, there will always be someone who will know about it, but obviously, these three people are all unknown people.

  However, Emperor Hongzhi found that he had a vague impression of these three people...

Finally, someone coughed: "Your Majesty, minister... minister..." The speaker was Hanlin who impeached Fang Jifan just now, and his face flushed: "If you remember correctly, Ouyang Zhi, Liu Wenshan and... Jiang Chen, these three people are the three scholars who were persecuted by that evil young man Fang Jifan."

  For a while, the hall suddenly fell silent.

  Emperor Hongzhi's pupils shrank, as if he had seen a ghost, he was dumbfounded, and he asked after a long time, "Are you sure?"

"This..." Hanlin pondered for a moment. He was more concerned about the impeachment, so he had an impression of the three names. If one name was wrong, it was impossible for all three names to be wrong, so he nodded firmly. Said: "I remember correctly."

  Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath: "If so... if so, wouldn't it be... wouldn't it be..."

  The body of the Son of Heaven trembled unexpectedly, and everyone in the Hanlin hall became worried.

   Someone said: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes and scanned the imperial palace, but there was no expression in his eyes. It was obvious that his mind was in a mess at the moment. It seemed that he was not quite sure, so he hurriedly lowered his head again. Then Ouyang Zhi and Jiang The names of Chen and Liu Wenshan are still clearly in front of my eyes.

  Then, Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice: "This time in the Shuntianfu Township Examination, Ouyang Zhi ranked first, followed by Jiang Chen, and Liu Wenshan again!"

   All of a sudden, the whole hall was in an uproar.

  The Hanlin who impeached Fang Jifan earlier blushed, feeling unbelievable, but also feeling ashamed.

  More people opened their eyes wide, and their expressions were even more exaggerated than His Majesty.

  Even the Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth wider than an egg.

   There was a deathly silence in the hall.

  The capital is evil, oppressing scholars.

  The capital’s vicious young and oppressive scholars actually won the top three places in the Beizhili Township Examination.

  …

  Emperor Hongzhi suddenly remembered something, and said sharply: "Come here, come here, have you released Fang Jifan's will?"

  The **** hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, at this moment, the imperial edict may still be drafted in the waiting room."

   "Immediately, take it back immediately, hurry up!"

   If the decree was released, it would become a big joke.

  The **** also knew the seriousness of the situation, and without hesitation, he ran to the waiting room as if flying.

  ………

   hammering his little chest, the tiger is suffering...
