"Long live my lord, in return for the spy outside, the scholars are preparing to gather a crowd to cause trouble, saying they want to rescue Wu Changshi, the doctor in the Ministry of Personnel!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard Wang Chengen's report, he immediately became angry. Thinking of what Liu Weichao said, he immediately asked angrily: "Are you from Fushe?"
Wang Chengen was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He did not dare to deceive Emperor Chongzhen, and quickly replied: "When I heard the news, I rushed to report to Lord Long Live as soon as possible. Whether he will be reinstated as a member of the society or not, I still need to investigate further!"
Emperor Chongzhen left it to Dongchang to investigate the affairs of Wuchang.
Xichang only monitored news from outside the palace for him. Therefore, the news from his side did not satisfy him, but it did not make him angry either.
I heard Emperor Chongzhen explain with a stern look: "I will keep a close eye on the matter of restoring society. Also, let me investigate the matter of their manipulation of the imperial examination at the first level of the child examination to see how many local officials are involved.
in!"
"My slave obeys the order!" Wang Chengen was a little surprised that Emperor Chongzhen knew so many things that he didn't know. He responded quickly, and then said a little embarrassedly, "Long live my Lord, I have a lot of things on my hands, especially the secret investigation of Jiulian Bodhisattva.
This matter can only be left to the hands of close associates. If we continue to check the society in detail now, I’m afraid there won’t be enough manpower!”
After all, Xichang had just been established and had limited manpower, so it was understandable to Emperor Chongzhen.
Therefore, after he heard this, he said without hesitation: "I allow you to recruit more people, and you can use whoever you like!"
With these words, Wang Chengen gained confidence, immediately agreed, and then withdrew.
Watching him leave, Emperor Chongzhen withdrew his gaze and fell on the imperial case, where various memorials were piled as high as a mountain, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
This is not to say that Emperor Chongzhen complained in his heart after seeing so many memorials.
But at this time, he thought of a lot of bad things that made him upset.
The officials in the DPRK, Emperor Chongzhen, had clearly seen that according to the standards of Emperor Taizu, they would all end up being stripped and replaced with grass;
Nowadays, these scholars do not study hard and do not want to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, but they are obsessed with participating in party struggles and making trouble to rescue Wu Changshi who succeeded Zhang Pu!
If I hadn't met Liu Weichao, then all of this would be a harbinger of the country's downfall, right?
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but feel a little sad and a little lucky.
Can the world's major events be handled well by relying on these officials and the scholars who serve as officials' backup?
Suddenly, Emperor Chongzhen had such doubts for the first time.
In the afternoon, Wang Dehua, the eunuch in charge of the Li Supervisor and the governor of the East Factory, hurriedly came to ask for an audience. He said that the students from the Imperial College had gone to the East Factory to cause trouble, and they also got support from some civil servants. When they asked him to release Wu Chang, there was a large number of people.
Wang Dehua did not dare to deal with it privately, so he came here to ask for the order.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was still angry in the morning. When he heard the news, he immediately became angry. He waved his hand, pushed all the memorials left in the palace under the imperial desk, and shouted sternly: "What do you do for food?
Do you still need me to deal with such a small matter? Do you want me to answer all the memorials on the ground that impeach you?"
Upon hearing these words, especially the emperor's thunderous wrath, Wang Dehua knelt down immediately, and the sweat on his forehead immediately flowed down.
Originally, he was just taking a chance and wondering if Emperor Chongzhen would take a step back?
Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen went berserk!
With regret, Wang Dehua left in a hurry. He knew that his move to test Emperor Chongzhen was wrong!
Today's emperor must no longer look at him with old eyes!
Not long after he left, Wang Chengen hurried over to see him and reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Long live my Lord, I have heard about some things about the restoration of society, and I think it is very serious."
"Huh?" Emperor Chongzhen's attitude towards Wang Chengen became much better.
Wang Cheng'en received the signal and immediately said: "The purpose of Fushe was originally to restore the literature of ancient times, but later, because most of them were formed by officials and officials, they took advantage of the connections in their fathers' clans to exchange what they had, and it developed to the point where Fushe participated in children's activities.
During the examination, local officials only selected people from Fushe to pass the examination. From the third year of Chongzhen to the present, its power has developed from Jiangnan to the capital."
After a pause, he immediately added: "As long as you find a scholar, you can ask about these things. Even... even..."
"Even what?" Emperor Chongzhen was angry, and his tone became much more severe, and he asked immediately.
When Wang Chengen heard this, he did not dare to neglect and immediately reported the news he heard: "Some people in the Fushe even threatened that they were the ones who appointed Zhou Yanru as the chief minister. Anyone who dares not to join the Fushe will be punished in the future.
It’s hard to move forward in officialdom!”
"What?" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he became furious and stood up.
A society not only manipulated the local imperial examinations, which was equivalent to cutting off the roots of the imperial examinations, but also affected the appointment and dismissal of the chief minister, unknowingly turning the emperor into a puppet. Such news immediately shocked him.
Angered.
It can even be said that this news shocked him as much as when he heard Liu Weichao say that he was the king of subjugation!
At this moment, he deeply realized that the situation in the DPRK was much worse than he imagined!
Although Wang Chengen also emphasized that these were just the news he heard, because he felt it was too important, he came to report it first without verifying it. However, Emperor Chongzhen knew in his heart that these must be true.
Because Liu Weichao once said that Zhang Pu, the leader of the restoration society, was known as the "civilian emperor", which is the best evidence.
With this in mind, Emperor Chongzhen immediately issued a stern order to Wang Chengen to strictly inspect and restore the society!
At the same time, he also began to consider whether the current imperial examination needed to be changed?
When he thought of this, Emperor Chongzhen remembered what Liu Weichao said. In Liu Weichao's time, everyone could study for free for nine years.
If this were true, it would mean that everyone is a scholar.
In this way, even if most people are not good, some useful people can be selected to help him manage the government, right?
As soon as this idea came up, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to refer to the imperial examinations of later generations to see what was worth borrowing.
Maybe it was the scenes he saw in the future that shocked him so much. Therefore, in his mind, he felt that everything in the future was good.
Based on this idea, Emperor Chongzhen endured it until he fell asleep, and followed his past habits and contacted Liu Weichao.
When Liu Weichao heard Emperor Chongzhen's question, he was very interested. After thinking about it for a moment, he smiled and asked Emperor Chongzhen: "Do you still remember what I told you?"
