Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 71: career first

"Come on, go back to the palace and host a banquet for the general!"

.....

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

While Zhu Houzhao was reviewing the memorial, a valet **** walked in, bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, the Minister of Rites, Yang Yiqing, Lord Yang, asks to see you!"

"Announce him in!"

After a while, Yang Yiqing, Minister of Rites, entered the main hall, and after the ceremony, he reported to Zhu Houzhao: "Long live the opening ceremony, the rural examination has been completed for this imperial examination, and the candidates who have entered the examination have arrived in the capital one after another. Your Majesty can give the questions so that the old minister can complete the task of this exam."

Yang Yiqing handed over the memorial in his hand, and reported, "This is the list of solutions for the township exam, please take a look!"

Zhu Houzhao took the list from Yang Yiqing's hand.

The Ming Dynasty had two capitals and thirteen provinces, and the first place in each province would be handed over to the imperial court.

The first place in the exam is called Huiyuan, which is counted by the examiner.

The palace test was held in the Hall of Preserving Harmony in the Forbidden City. The emperor personally presided over it. Those who went to the test were called Gongsheng. After passing the test, they were Jinshi.

Lianzhong Sanyuan is known as a person with eight buckets of talent.

The first in the township exam, the first in the aptitude exam, and the first in the palace exam, if all of them are alone, they will be summoned by the emperor.

Of course, this is also a matter of honoring the ancestors. When Emperor Hongzhi was on the throne, such a family appeared.

Zhu Houzhao opened Yang Yiqing's memorial, and several familiar names came into view one by one.

Xia Yan, Jiangnan Jieyuan.

Wen Zhengming, Jiangnan Jieyuan.

This Xia Yan is a famous cabinet chief in history.

Before Xia Yan was alive, Yan Song had always been afraid of Xia Yan. Later, when Yan Song framed Xia Yan, Xia Yan was forced to be imprisoned, and Yan Song took the position of the first assistant in the cabinet.

Wen Zhengming, one of the Four Great Talents in Jiangnan. Also famous with him are Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan...

It's a pity that these four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River all stop at the top of the list, and then they are all unknown.

In particular, the great talent Tang Bohu was banned from taking the exam for life during the Hongzhi period.

The reason is that when he went to Beijing to take the exam, he stayed in a brothel, and being touched by the examiner in the exam room was equivalent to plagiarism, and he was banned from taking the exam for life.

Unexpectedly, this Wen Zhengming still has some skills, but his grades in the general examination are not good, so he still cannot enter the dynasty as an official.

This Xia Yan has the talent of being the first assistant. When I will try it, I will see how your writing is?

In addition to these solutions, there are a large number of talented people who did not appear in the memorial.

Zhu Houzhao was looking forward to it.

How many good officials and generals will Daming be provided in this imperial examination?

"Please, Your Majesty, ask the question."

You reach out.

Yang Yiqing stretched out his hand in front of Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Houzhao wrote two words in Yang Yiqing's hand.

"This is the title of this palace exam!"

"According to the order!"

After Yang Yiqing, Minister of Rites, got the title, he walked out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

His Majesty wrote two words in the palm of his hand: "Navy"

This is the system of the Ming Dynasty. Before the exam starts, no one is allowed to know the exam questions. A few hours before the exam starts, the emperor only tells the examiner alone. After the candidates are seated, the examiner will distribute the test questions to each candidate to prevent cheating.

At the same time, the Guangdong Navy Yamen Headquarters.

After entering the Naval Headquarters, the Ouchi guard announced: "Qi Jingtong of the General Administration of the Navy has accepted the order!"

Qi Jingtong led all the navy to kneel to answer the imperial edict.

In the naval prison, more than 2,000 Franji prisoners of war were despairing. Although they knew that the Ming Empire was full of gold and money was made everywhere, they never imagined that through this method, they would not even take a penny. , but lost the freedom of life.

When they ran rampant in the country of Malacca, they were so happy and free. I didn't expect that even Daming's land had not had time to board, so they were locked here.

After Qi Jingtong received the decree, he ordered craftsmen to remove the bases of the three French Cannons from the French warship and transport them to the capital through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

Qi Jingtong divided the navy into three divisions: Eastern Liaoning, Bohai, and South China Sea.

Each has 30 warships and ten supply ships, and at the same time the combat power has increased more than tenfold.

The naval battle that broke out with the Franco machine greatly deterred the surrounding Japanese pirates.

Daming's naval strength is not inferior to that of the past.

What's more, some pirates saw Daming's warships from a distance and avoided them early.

Recently, the craftsmen have been busy with their work again, because they have a new task, that is, to build a steel battleship in three months.

In the palace, although Li Suide saw that Zhu Houzhao floated the silver bowl in the water, it was a real situation, but if he really wanted to let the iron ship sail in the sea, it was really not something that ordinary people could build.

Even if there is a model and experience, it is estimated that it will take more than a month to transport so much steel. Therefore, the craftsmen here basically adopt a three-shift policy, and they work all night without rest.

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

After several busy days, Zhu Houzhao can finally take a breath. Their navy has begun to take shape, and they are not afraid of being defeated even if they launch a big war abroad.

The navy trained by Qi Jingtong is enough to establish the status of the Ming navy.

Zhu Houzhao believed that in the near future, the size of the Ming Navy will be larger, there will be more warships, and the combat effectiveness of the Navy will be increased many times.

When he walked out of the Qianqing Palace, he felt the Buddha's face in the spring breeze.

A heavy snowfall last winter made this year another bumper year.

He felt that he had experienced a lot of things in this period of time~www.wuxiamtl.com~ It was less than half a year after he ascended the throne, and he had already managed the entire Ming Dynasty in a prudent manner.

Inside the Cining Palace.

Many beautiful girls are listening to the Queen Mother's lectures in the Cining Palace.

They have been in the palace for more than four months, but they have never even seen the emperor's face. Linglong, who entered the palace with them, has already been named a concubine.

Let them not be jealous, in terms of talent, in terms of beauty, these beautiful girls are not inferior to Linglong.

The female officials also told them that after three months, the queen mother will enter the palace from a civil draft girl. At that time, they will not be able to see the emperor. Maybe they will not even see the emperor's face once in their lives.

At this time, the maid of Cining Palace walked up to the Queen Mother and said to her: "Qi to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty is enjoying peach blossoms in the Imperial Garden!"

When the Queen Mother heard the words, a look of joy appeared on her face.

"Bei Xue and Linglong are not pregnant with the dragon seed for the time being. It's time to urge the emperor. It's been a month since they flipped the brand last month. It really worries Aijia."

The queen mother glanced at the beautiful girls standing beside her, and said with a sigh: "Alas, these folk girls are carefully selected by the Aijia, but Zhao'er doesn't like any of them, and I don't know what they are. The reason? Does Zhao'er not have Yanfu?"

Erniang on the side hurriedly persuaded: "Sister, don't worry, maybe Zhao'er has something to hide."

"I will find time to ask in a few days to see what else he needs. We will prepare it for him at that time. He will definitely like it."

Maybe Zhu Houzhao has not tasted the taste of women yet. He has turned a blind eye to many girls arranged by the Queen Mother. He is now dedicated to Daming's career and Daming's tomorrow...

Perhaps, he will become a generation of Ming Jun.
