Chapter 257 Spring (1)

The highly anticipated ceremony of the dynasty for the rituals finally kicked off.

If you study well, you will become an official, and famous sayings throughout the ages are a good prescription for governing the world.

For the Ming Dynasty, a huge empire, seizing scholars did not mean that the ruling class needed fresh blood, and they had to search for good talents among the people.

But the hundreds of millions of people in the empire and hundreds of millions of poor people need an upward way.

There are only two ways for a person to change his or her family, either to study or rebel. The latter is too risky, and few people have succeeded throughout history. Only the former is the seemingly fair, safest and gentlest, the most inspiring and positive energy, and the easiest way.

~~

Outside the front gate, Gongyuan Street, along the street, soldiers who maintained order were full of soldiers.

All candidates lined up outside the Gongyuan and were searched by officials of the Ministry of Rites before entering in turn.

Perhaps it is human nature to like watching the fun. There are obviously so many soldiers standing, but the streets are still surrounded by people who are stretching their necks to watch the fun.

Not to mention the wine shops and teahouses next to them were already overcrowded.

Everyone wants to see what the Wenquxing looks like! And there is a vague news that the emperor will come this spring exam!

~~

"Your Majesty, please slow down!"

The prince-in-law Hu Guan led Zhu Yunsheng and slowly walked into a teahouse.

This teahouse is still a certain distance from the tribute courtyard. It is two streets away. It is either a high-end restaurant or a place for ordinary people to enjoy.

Zhu Yunyu went up the second floor and sat down by the window casually. Looking at the crowds on the street, he suddenly reached out to signal.

Guanseng Guo quickly stepped forward and bowed silently.

Seeing this, Hu Guan's eyelids twitched and said in his heart.

"He Guangyi stood aside this time! He used to be with the emperor when he came out, but now he can only stand far away!"

Thinking of it, he bent down slightly and looked out the window.

Among the crowd, He Guangyi, who was dressed in casual clothes, stood silently at the entrance of the teahouse.

~~

"There will be a total of nine days!" Zhu Yunxiu said, "It is not easy for students to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in a small area!"

There is no seemingly easy to jump into the Dragon Gate. The hardships in it are invisible to outsiders. Not to mention ten years of hard study, my temples were gray and I came to this day with trembling fear.

Even in the examination room, I am in a palm-sized place, not even as big as the bathrooms of later generations, and there is not even a door.

"You go and tell the Ministry of Rites Ren Hengtai, so that he must ensure the students' daily life!" Zhu Yunxiu said again, "I just saw that many candidates brought in with dry food and pickles. How can they do it? Let him customize the food for the students in the surrounding restaurants and provide hot tea and hot soup."

"Also, it's the cold spring season now, and many students are old and cannot withstand the wind and cold! Let the Ministry of Rites prepare thick bedding and send it to them!"

"By the way, I will inform the Imperial Hospital to transfer a few Imperial Doctors. If any candidate is unwell, he will be treated carefully immediately!"

"Tell Ren Hengtai not to be afraid of spending money!" Zhu Yunxiu thought, "Let him turn around and take the bill of expenses to Hu Guan, and the money is out of my inner warehouse!"

What is buying people’s hearts?

This is to win people’s hearts!

Because of the new policy, the relationship between the officials and gentry in the world and the court is very delicate at this stage.

Shandong Province, Zhejiang Province, Jiangxi and Fujian Province jointly canceled the exam... Although they were not around, the number and quality of candidates were greatly reduced compared with previous years. Moreover, even those who went to Beijing to take the exam were mostly poor.

The nine-day exam is held. If the students from a wealthy family are not cold or hungry even if they are in a small amount of space, but the poor family eat cold food and sleep with clothes...

At the right time, small favors are a timely help.

Moreover, if the emperors of the Ming Empire were the ones who helped these students, how could they not touch people's hearts?

Hu Guan listened and his mind twitched.

He thought to himself, "Is it necessary to take care of the candidates so much trouble?"

Then he subconsciously looked at Li Jinglong, who was standing behind Zhu Yunxiu with his hands hanging down.

"Emperor!" Li Jinglong received Hu Guan's eyes and smiled and said in a low voice, "I have a way..."

"Yes, you say!" Zhu Yunsheng smiled and said, "It's a good idea! My own ideas are inevitable that sometimes I don't have any comprehensive ideas!"

"Your Majesty, I'm pitying these students!" Li Jinglong said, "I'm afraid that they will be cold and hungry and will not perform well on the spot!" As he said, he paused, "I think this is worse than the candidates' diet, which is uniformly organized by Guanglu Temple..."

Zhu Yunxiu thought, "What you mean is to let the palace do it directly and then deliver it to you!"

"Yes!" Li Jinglong smiled, "Each meal has two meats and one vegetable with hot soup! On the one hand, the food in the palace is at least cleaner than the outside. On the other hand, you can also let the candidates take a bath in the emperor's grace!"

When it comes to buying and winning people's hearts, who can beat Erya?

The emperor issued an order to ask the imperial chefs in the palace to cook for these candidates, and even the bowls for eating were from the palace. For those candidates, it was simply a great emperor's grace! How could he not be moved to the ground?

"Let Guanglu Temple set up a tea room, snack room, and hot soup room outside the examination room for twelve hours. Candidates can stutter when they are hungry or thirsty!"

"In addition, the candidates' bedding and cold clothes are also supplied with Guanglu Temple!" Li Jinglong said again.

"Yeah!" Zhu Yunxi nodded, "You are still thoughtful! This is more reassuring and more at ease than buying from outside..."

There is something he didn't say, that's even more grand!

"It's you!"

Hu Guan glanced at Li Jinglong and said to himself, "The roundworm in the emperor's belly!"

"Leave it to you, can it be done?" Zhu Yunhuang asked.

Hu Guan hurriedly bowed, "I personally supervise it! All the candidates will be bathed in the emperor's grace!"

"It's different to say whether the emperor is grateful or not!" Zhu Yunxiu waved his hand, "It's just that they can take the exam with peace of mind!"

"I'll do it now!" Hu Guan bowed, then quickly retreated and went to arrange the matter.

As soon as he left, Zhu Gaochi followed him in.

When Zhu Yunxi heard the steps, he turned around and smiled, "It's Hong Xi! I thought the earthquake was coming!"

Zhu Gaochi looked down at his bulging waist and said to himself, "Can I die if you don't bury me for a day?"

"See..."

"Sit!" Zhu Yunxiu waved his hand.

Zhu Gaochi wanted to sit down carefully, but when he thought of Zhu Yunxi's words just now, he simply made up his mind.

With a creaking sound, he sat on the chair and twisted it on purpose, causing the tabletop and wooden floor swaying.

Before Zhu Yunyu could speak, someone suddenly cursed downstairs.

"What are you tamping upstairs? Puffy and sloppy and sloppy and sloppy and sloppy? It's all gone into my tea bowl!"

puff!

Zhu Yunyu almost sprayed his tea bowl as soon as he picked up the tea bowl.

Zhu Gaochi's face turned red, then he raised his butt halfway, sat down heavily again, and thuded twice.

"It's not over!" the man downstairs cursed, "It's all gray!"

Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi looked at each other upstairs, and smiled prankly.

Then they all stood up suddenly, jumped up and fell down.

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

The floor slabs look like earthquakes, and old gray falls.

"Let you scold me!"

Zhu Gaochi grinned and gasped, "Shock you to death!"

Li Jinglong was beside him, a little stunned.

"Are these two brothers so naive?"

The next second, Zhu Yunxi's eyes floated over.

Li Jinglong quickly stood up, joined in, and his feet fell heavily from the ground.

The guards beside them looked at each other and were all stunned!

"cough!"

Deng Ping coughed and moved his legs and feet with a reserved attitude.

When the guards saw that they were still standing there, they were going to dance quickly!

A group of people jumped on the floor on the second floor...

~~

Dongdong!

The floor is about to collapse!
