It is no exaggeration to say that Longkodo’s subordinates all want to meet Yuzhu.
However, not everyone can see Yuzhu.
Yuzhu also didn't want to see too many officers, which would be too eye-catching and would arouse Longkodo's resentment.
Inside the infantry commander's office, the lieutenants, generals, guerrillas and garrison officers who were appointed to the barracks were all Longkodo's confidants, despite their low official positions.
There are about a dozen of these people. Early this morning, they all came to the gate one after another.
Yuzhu ordered people to invite them into the West Flower Hall and entertain them with the Biluochun gifted by Concubine Tong in the palace.
These people are Longkodo's die-hard confidants, and Yuzhu will only deliberately win over them unless his brain is filled with water.
To put it bluntly, meeting these people is just a cover to win over Luo Xing'a alone, so as not to be too conspicuous.
"Brothers, did you stay up all night last night?" Yuzhu picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Gao Sanzheng, the deputy general who was assigned to the personal barracks, had the highest status among everyone, so everyone looked at him.
The senior high school student raised his body slightly, with his butt just off the chair. He cupped his fists and cupped his hands, and said respectfully: "Returning to the second master, my subordinates have indeed stayed up all night, but they are all guarding in the camp. No, just now
I'm here to see the commander-in-chief and you."
Anyone who dares to call himself a subordinate who is not an officer of the Bibi Barracks is an idiot who does not understand the rules.
Yuzhu smiled slightly and said: "Brother, you are too polite. Just sit and talk. You are all my father's right-hand men and have won my father's respect and trust. My father often praises you and tells me to do it."
We must respect all brothers. After all, we are not outsiders."
Oh, just saying that we are not outsiders has greatly brought the originally relatively distant relationship closer.
In this cold spring season, Yuzhu’s words are like the spring breeze blowing on the face, which is particularly heart-warming.
Most of the officers in the Green Battalion are rough men who cannot read a few words.
If you speak too politely, it will be impossible to blend in with them.
"The little wanderers at home or outside are all guarding the empty kang, waiting for you all night, right?"
After Yuzhu made his opening remarks, he started using foul language.
No one expected in their wildest dreams that Wenquxing, who descended from heaven to earth, would have such a vulgar side that he could not help laughing like thunder.
"Ah...haha, yes, yes, the little sluts are waiting for me to go back and take care of them."
When men get together to talk about women, they dare to talk about meat and vegetables. It doesn’t matter whether the atmosphere is hot or not.
Yuzhu started talking dirty, and everyone relaxed their minds and stopped pretending to be gentle.
"To be honest, Second Master, I just got a little beauty..."
"Second Master, I really don't brag..."
After half an hour, everyone left happily.
After these people went out, they all raised their thumbs and praised Yuzhu for how well they got along!
After meeting these people, Yuzhu returned to his room and fell asleep soundly.
After the Spring Festival, the imperial court issued an edict stating that the Bingshu Enke Examination in the 45th year of Kangxi's reign was scheduled to start on February 9th.
As usual, the chief examiner and deputy examiners are one chief and three deputy examiners. The chief examiner is called the chief president, and the deputy chief examiner is the vice president.
There are many more room examiners for the general examination than for the provincial examination, with a total of eighteen people.
The chief executive of this examination is Wu Jun (reading), a bachelor of the Baohe Palace and the minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
Since the 21st year of Kangxi's reign, the Grand Bachelor of Zhonghe Palace was laid off, and the Grand Bachelor of Baohe Palace has become the true chief bachelor of the cabinet.
This shows how much Kangxi attached great importance to the Enke Examination.
The subjects of the general examination are exactly the same as those of the provincial examination, and the location is the Gongyuan of Shuntian Prefecture.
On the ninth day of February, Yuzhu learned the lesson from last time and refused to take Longkodo’s carriage to Gongyuan.
Who would have thought that Yuzhu had just walked outside the second door and was about to board the car. Who would have thought that Hong Hao would have arrived and was standing at the door waiting for him.
Hong Hao, who was wrapped in a small sable cloak, bowed his head to the ground when he saw the jade pillar, and said respectfully: "I wish my mentor in advance that he will be named on the gold medal list and promoted to the Huiyuan."
Several haha beads around Hong Hao knelt on the ground and said a lot of congratulations.
To be honest, even if Yuzhu is an old bureaucrat, he is still extremely moved at this moment.
Hong Hao, that is the serious grandson of the emperor, the future Prince Heng.
The fact that he came to take the exam in person in the snow must also represent the sincerity of fifth elder brother Yinqi.
Yuzhu raised his hand and touched Hong Hao's little face, which was already red from the cold, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart.
In the future, the path to choose from will obviously be much wider!
Yuzhu boarded the carriage and set off. Just as the carriage was about to drive out of the alley, he saw a luxury carriage in the shape of a Baylor approaching quickly
Soon, the seventh elder brother Yinyou led the crown prince Hongshu and walked quickly to Yuzhu's carriage.
The seventh elder brother's legs and feet are not very convenient. He walks in a hurry and becomes more and more embarrassed.
"Hey, it's all my fault. I got up late and was a step late. Fortunately, fortunately, I finally caught up." A few steps away, the seventh elder brother said his apology loudly.
That was really touching in Yuzhu's heart. The seventh elder brother didn't care about him, but he treated him like his own brother. This feeling was really too strong.
For fear of delaying the entrance examination, the seventh elder brother led Hongshu and got into Yuzhu's carriage.
Hong Hao had already explained before that if Kangxi had not urgently summoned him, fifth elder brother Yinqi would definitely have come to send Yuzhu to the exam in person.
The seventh elder brother, Yinyou, had no urgent errands for the time being, so he asked Kangxi for leave in advance and made a special trip to send Yuzhu to Gongyuan today.
Hong Shu's attitude towards Yu Zhu is far less intimate than that of Hong Hao. Just now, he just perfunctory the etiquette as a routine.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that Hongshu was made the heir apparent early, which was a bad habit picked up by his biological mother.
Hongshu in history has a close relationship with the fourteenth old man Yinqi.
After the fourth elder brother Yinzhen ascended the throne, in addition to driving the fourteenth son to guard the mausoleum, he conveniently usurped Hongshu's position as the eldest son and made Hongshu's sixth brother Hongjing the eldest son of Prince Chun.
When we arrived at the gate of Gongyuan, an even bigger surprise came. Fourth elder brother Yinzhen had already arrived.
"Take the exam well. When you are appointed, I will ask you to come to the Ministry of Industry and supervise the construction of the river embankment with me. Those corrupt officials are so hateful. The embankments of the Yellow River are repaired every year and collapse every year."
Khan Amma is too lenient. I think the river embankment cannot be cured without killing a large number of dirty officials." The fourth elder brother is still the same hardworking person. Even if he encourages Yuzhu to take the exam well, he still has to do it.
They came in to build embankments and kill corrupt officials.
"Thank you, Mr. Sibeile, for your support. The students will do well in the exam." Yuzhu quickly bowed and said thank you.
The fourth elder brother straightened his face and scolded: "Call me cousin."
"Cousin." Yuzhu could only pinch her nose and call her cousin in a disgusting way.
"I heard that you have accepted two young apprentices? Well, after the palace examination is over, you can accept my Hongyun as well." Fourth elder brother Yinzhen seemed to be discussing the matter, but in fact, he had already replaced Yuzhu domineeringly.
A decision was made.
Yuzhu had already accepted two apprentices. There was really no reason to refuse Hongyun's apprenticeship, so he could only nod his head and agree.
"Open the dragon gate." Along with the sound of cannons, the soldiers guarding the Gongyuan shouted in unison.
In the general examination, the bannermen still took the lead, in the order of the Manchu, Mongolian and Han armies.
Among them, the bordered yellow flag comes first, followed by the straight yellow flag, then the straight white flag, and so on.
The body search in the general examination is much more stringent than the body search in the provincial examination. Five soldiers, plus an Eight Banners officer, search a candidate together.
The things Yuzhu brought were turned over in pieces, and the fried rice in the bag was stained gray and black by dirty hands.
The late spring weather is cold enough to freeze your nose off.
Taking into account the difficult situation of the candidates, a temporary edict has been issued to allow candidates to bring small stoves and charcoal so that candidates can light a fire to keep warm in the examination room.
If this were not the case, the small stove and silver frost charcoal brought by Yuzhu would have been thrown out by the soldiers who searched them.
Nowadays, Yuzhu has extremely rich examination experience.
For exams in cold weather, you must wear an unlayered sable fur cloak. In this kind of weather, sleeping wrapped in a special cloak like a quilt will keep you warm.
After picking up the house number, Yuzhu went to the place and took a look. Oh dear, there is a toilet next to it.
However, even on a hot day, Yuzhu is fearless.
He had received Tang Bing's devilish training in advance, and even if the toilet was nearby, he could still take the test without fail!
Yuzhu was already a veteran of the examination room. After wiping the two boards clean, he wrapped himself in a sable fur cloak, covered his head and fell asleep.
At this time, instead of enduring it, it is better to have a good sleep. Even if you can't fall asleep, it is good to close your eyes and rest your mind.
Yuzhu heard the sound of the cannon locking the courtyard and the shouts of the soldiers, but just pretended not to hear them.
This is the benefit of the scientific examination of old fried dough sticks.
The hospital is locked. It’s still very early before the examination papers are officially distributed!
Sure enough, after it was completely dark, the test papers were handed over to Yuzhu.
After Yuzhu read the question, he couldn't help but sigh. He also called Tang Bing, He Zichang and Qin Benchu each guessed one-third correctly.
At this moment, Yuzhu was convinced that the number one scholars in Jiangnan Province were emerging one after another. There must be top famous teachers who had figured out the rules of setting questions for the general examination and the palace examination, and passed them down.
In fact, the three teachers did not completely guess the test questions, but they all got 80% of the answers.
If Yuzhu can't make the remaining 20%, it's better to kill him with a piece of tofu!
