Chapter 1: Contributions to the Spring Examination (2)

Drinking the brown soup made by Lu Huanzhang, it was bitter and hard to drink. Although the body was born rich and powerful now, he should be considered poor and poor in nature. He knew better than anyone else. Therefore, everyone in the palace knew that he was the best emperor to serve and the most difficult emperor to serve. It was easy to serve because he rarely cursed people, rarely got angry with the palace maids and eunuchs, and treated people very leniently. The difficulty lies in his requirements for some aspects that were different from those of the previous emperors. He liked independence and self-reliance, so everyone seemed to be a little weird. So everyone felt that this emperor was difficult to serve. In general, they were all glad that they met a good master.

Three doses of medicine a day, three times a day, three times a day, and three times a day. After drinking two doses, Zhu Yinglong felt much more relaxed and his arms were strong. It seems that famous doctors are famous doctors. If they can teach a large number of famous doctors, it would be a blessing for the country!

After a night of sleep, Zhu Yinglong's complexion improved the next day, and there was no problem getting out of bed and walking around. Lu Huanzhang went to the palace to diagnose him carefully. He confirmed that there was nothing serious. He prescribed another prescription, reduced some medicines, added some medicinal materials for Guben Peiyuan, and then took Xu Yingyuan to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine.

Zhu Yinglong's minor illness really touched the hearts of many people. Needless to say, the concubines in the harem, the cabinet, the military cabinet, and any of the more than a dozen ministers in the six ministries raised their hearts to their throats. Until the news that the emperor was just a minor illness came from the palace, and after Xu Guangqi's personal confirmation, the hearts of all officials were settled. If the emperor was seriously ill at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable. The peace talks between Liaodong were planned and facilitated by the emperor. If the emperor was sick and could not sit in court to govern the government, I am afraid that the two people from the Later Jin and Nanjing would be ready to move.

The news of Zhu Yinglong's sudden serious illness really made Wei Zhongxian happy when it came to Nanjing, and he made a big announcement that there would be no good end for usurping the throne. Just as he was about to sharpen his sword, he found that he was just a minor illness and ill. He was so happy that he immediately stopped. This made Xiong Zhaolian on the other side nervous. He had 50,000 troops under his command, and there were at least 200,000 troops in Nanjing. He really wanted to suppress it. The pressure can be imagined.

How can the emperor be the safety of the world if he is alone?

When Huang Taiji received this news, he was skeptical and took it seriously enough. He also summoned the ministers to discuss it. However, before the result came out, he received news that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was a little sick. It was obvious that he had been exaggerated before, so the matter was only left in history books, knocking down a few waves and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Although the emperor was seriously ill and was just a false alarm. The emperor himself was not seriously injured, but rumors were inevitable. He knew from some sources why the emperor did not turn over the sign that night, but stayed in the Palace of Yangxin. When he was sick, only Yanhong, who was a palace maid and secretary, was by his side. This Yanhong was also very beautiful, and it came out in the ears of Zhu Yinglong. He had no choice. Under the persuasion of Xiong Hu and other girls, he issued an edict to confer Yanhong as Concubine Yu and live in Jingyang Palace, but he still accompanied him in front of him, and his favor was still above the imperial concubine Xiong Hu. This was a month later.

Because Yanhong has always been uncontested and treated others gently, she is an orphan. She is also the woman who has been with Zhu Yinglong for the longest time. Having such a careful and lovely care by the emperor makes the concubines in the harem feel at ease.

In fact, in Zhu Yinglong's heart, he was used to Yanhong taking care of him, and there was no actual number to measure who he loved. In short, he loved his women very much, and tried his best to be fair and open. I hope they could all understand his husband's painstaking efforts.

Three days are easy to pass. Lu Huanzhang said that he would recover after three or five days of rest. This was true after three days. In the morning court, he appeared in the dragon robe and was full of energy. Zhu Yinglong appeared on the Taihe Hall in a dragon robe, and all the rumors were broken.

"I have only been resting for three days, and there are rumors in the court that I am seriously ill and will soon be gone. Hehe, the void may not be the wind. Who has spread such rumors? I hope that I, the emperor, cannot be the one who can continue to be the emperor, I know clearly!" Zhu Yinglong sat on the dragon throne and glanced at the civil and military officials kneeling at his feet. His voice became heavier and he said, "I can tell those traitors with ill intentions that I, the emperor, not only must I do it, but also watch these people bury the loess first!"

The sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the huge Hall of Supreme Harmony, shaking the hearts of all officials.

"The emperor is wise!"

"Of course I am wise!" Zhu Yinglong suddenly shouted at the court officials, "Zhou Tingru, the Right Minister of the Ministry of Rites!"

"I am here!" Zhou Tingru climbed to the forefront with violent trembling whole body and said tremblingly.

"Zhou Aiqing, do you think I am wise?" Zhu Yinglong stood up, walked down the imperial stairs, and came to his ground and asked with a pleasant look.

"The emperor is wise, the emperor is wise!" Zhou Tingru was so scared that he kowtowed like a chicken pecking at rice. He had a lot of rumors. Did the emperor know that he was afraid of it?

"I also think I am very wise. Haha, let's be calm, ah, haha!" Zhu Yinglong had no other purpose. He was to take the opportunity of morning court to knock on some fence-riding officials who were swaying left and right, especially Zhou Tingru, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. There is no direct evidence, and the emperor could not handle people casually, otherwise wouldn't it be a mess? The emperor did whatever he wanted, so wouldn't the ministers below who had the power to live and die in the common people follow suit? Corruption and bribery, and do nothing?

However, people who like to think about the holy intentions were already spinning their heads. The emperor called him and asked Zhou Tingru what he meant. Oh, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, secretly warning the big Mao Wenlong of Pidao. This must be the reason. Even Zhou Tingru himself felt that the emperor's rumors seemed to have other profound meanings, and this profound meaning coincided with these people.

It is impossible to say that Zhu Yinglong had a little bit of warning Mao Wenlong through Zhou Tingru's mouth, but more importantly, Zhu Yinglong decided to rectify the administration of the country. If the administration was not well, the country would not be well managed. Only a few old ministers who followed Zhu Yinglong had already realized that a violent storm would blew in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. The one who initiated this storm was the emperor, the emperor.

Although the younger officials such as Shi Kefa and Huang Zunsu were unable to infer what it was, as soon as the war in Liaodong ended, the storm of domestic reform was about to come. In comparison, Wei Zhongxian, who wiped out Nanjing, was much more minor than this one.

"Your Majesty, the Wuchen Society test papers have been reviewed in the first year of Chongzhen. This is the ranking list formulated by Weichen and others. Please read it!" Xu Guangqi took the list and held a list and reported.

Xu Yingyuan, the eunuch of Si Libing, was waiting to come over to get it, but Zhu Yinglong waved his hand and retreated. He walked down himself, took it over, and opened it to browse.

"Your Majesty, this meeting has two hundred and twenty-four scholars. The exam ministers and others have planned to choose the title Yuan named Li Erhe, a native of Songkou, Meixian. He was a scholar at the age of 19. He passed the provincial examination in the 37th year of Wanli. The second name is Xiong Rulin, a native of Yuyao, Zhejiang, the third name is Huang Dingchen, a native of Fucheng, and the fourth... Du Linzheng, Xia Yunyi, Liu Zhengzong, Wang Chunqing, Lai Gai, Jie Xueyin, Ruihui, Guan Shaoning, Tan Yuanchun, Niu Jinxing, Li Yan..." Xu Guangqi took out a list from his sleeve and read it out.

Among these people, except for Tan Yuanchun, Niu Jinxing and Li Yan, the only one that could make Zhu Yinglong feel a little impression was Xia Yunyi. He was also connected with him. There was also a famous person named Chen Zilong. Unfortunately, there was no name on the list of this exam. There was also a name that looked familiar. I couldn't remember who he was. But when I saw his hometown, I suddenly remembered that he was Chen Yonghua, as if he was Zheng Chenggong's subordinate. He had heard of his name. He was also a talented person, but he didn't know much about this person. In a word, no matter whether these two people are talented or not, he could not say at all, because for him in the past, it was too far away, and there were their names in history books. He should have some skills. I hope it was not the kind of people who were boasting. What he needed now was a practical man. Not a theorist.

"I have no objection, just like that, post the list." Zhu Yinglong closed the roster in his hand and said.

"I am obeying the order, but the emperor, the candidate who failed the exam, heard that the emperor has made other arrangements, can I issue an order to post it together to calm the hearts of these students?" Xu Guangqi said.

"Okay, there are two new universities in Beijing, with a four-year school system. They can enter the school. All the fees will be paid by the court, but they must pass a certain entrance examination. The Ministry of Rites does not need to interfere in this matter. The Imperial College, Hanlin Academy, Imperial Hospital and other departments will handle it together!" Zhu Yinglong thought for a while and said.

"Imperial Hospital, Your Majesty, what does this have to do with Imperial Hospital?" Xu Guangqi said inexplicably.

"This matter has a lot to do. I will not force these candidates who failed the exam anyway. You will understand it in the future." Zhu Yinglong did not intend to explain to them, because the more he explained the issue, the more he could explain it, it would be better to let them understand it.

Yang Sichang, the chief of the Hanlin Academy, Dong Qichang, the newly appointed Imperial College Principal, and Lu Huanzhang, the hospital envoy of the Imperial College, bowed to receive the order. In fact, this part of the work had already been carried out when the imperial concubine Xiong Hu prepared two universities. After convincing the famous painter, calligrapher, calligraphy and painting theorist, the founder of the Imperial College Principal, Dong Qichang, was the chief of the Imperial College Principal, Lu Huanzhang, the envoy of the Imperial College Principal, also served as vice president.

The Ministry of War reported at the same time that Xiong Tingbi requested the guerrilla general Wu Sangui to attack Jinzhou for losing 4,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry, and more than a dozen generals from the Liaodong front line jointly defended Wu Sangui's land.

However, when Zhu Yinglong saw this, the two comments seemed to have the same meaning. Xiong Tingbi asked for the punishment of Wu Sangui's crime of acting without authorization, but it seemed that the compromise was mostly written about words that made great contributions to the capture of Jinzhou. There was also the comments that jointly guaranteed. The whole article was full of words of Yang. Zhu Yinglong had known that it would be the result. He issued an order to transfer Wu Sangui into Beijing and study in Tongzhou Military Academy. At the same time, he issued an edict in various places, including thousands of households and more than one thousand generals, to adopt a rotation system. The academic system was half a year to one year. Those who were unwilling to come or could not meet the requirements of the court after studying. They were dismissed on the spot, except for the first-level security troops, all entered the Tongzhou Imperial Military Academy to study! Zhu Yinglong personally served as the principal!

Zhu Yinglong did not give the minister any chance to speak or object, and directly ordered Xu Yingyuan to read the imperial edict on the spot.
