Chapter 192: Encourage division but not peace

"Deposed"

Xiao Jing didn't understand.

Zhang Zhou sighed, looking a little regretful.

Historically, after Li Dongyang received an order to review the examination papers of the candidates, he "deposed" thirteen questionable papers, artificially depriving these thirteen people of their qualifications as tributes. Many historians speculated that, I think Tang Yin's paper is probably among the thirteen examination papers. The purpose of Li Dongyang's doing this is to calm the material dispute

Look, Tang Yin didn't win, so he can stop criticizing this case.

Zhang Zhou reminded him like this because he was afraid that Li Dongyang was playing dirty tricks. Even though he had passed the exam, he was still dismissed.

However, it doesn’t make much sense for Li Dongyang to do this. Even if he does not win the Jinshi, he can still be selected to enter the court through tribute, and he can still go directly to the Hanlin Academy for review.

The Hanlin Academy is the back garden of the cabinet.

In Zhang Zhou's view, Li Dongyang would rather let him pass the Jinshi examination and be released from the six ministries to observe politics than easily let him enter the Hanlin Academy and become the "preserver prime minister" of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Zhou probably told Xiao Jing what Li Dongyang might do.

"Mr. Zhang is saying that in order to calm the discussions among the scholars, Mr. Li Ge will depose some tribute officials who have clearly won the prize."

Xiao Jing was confused. He said, "After the inner curtain is opened and sealed, can't we make any adjustments?"

Zhang Zhou sighed and said, "That was in the past. This time it involves vendetta. If Mr. Li Ge checks again, based on his Being resourceful and cautious, who knows what he will do?"

"I understand." Xiao Jing said, "In addition to meeting Mr. Li Ge, our family may also need to ask for instructions from His Majesty."

Zhang Zhou originally wanted to say, just go and mention it to Li Dongyang. Why do you ask the emperor for instructions?

Li Dongyang didn’t do anything, so if he just told the emperor like this, wouldn’t the emperor think that I’m a little chicken?< /p>

However, it seemed that Xiao Jing had no experience in dealing with matters such as imperial examinations. As the owner of Dongchang, he still had to ask the king for instructions on anything.

This also allowed Zhang Zhou to see that the factory guards of the Ming Dynasty really did not have a high status during the Hongzhi period. Such factory guards made civil servants and military generals tremble with fear, and they would confiscate people's homes and exterminate their clans in an instant. It probably happened during the period when the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty was extremely expanded.

After Xiao Jing left, Zhu Lin received Zhang Zhou again, and then asked Ning Tong to talk to Zhang Zhou.

The general meaning is that you are here to confer a knighthood on my younger brother. The affairs of the eldest brother and the second brother should be handled separately, so as not to make people think that I covet the favor that my brother has received.

Don’t their second wives like to use women to do things? Then just listen to the second wife and let his wife do it.

"I'll take my leave."

Zhang Zhou didn't intend to say anything more to Ning Tong.

At most, Ning Tong sees off guests when she goes out.

When they arrived at the front yard, Ning Tong deliberately walked in front and blocked Zhang Zhou's path, and said in a reproachful tone, "Why do you always want to help him? His ambition is not here, you do this." , actually inHarm him. ”

Zhang Zhou said, “Mrs. Zhu, no, I should call you Mrs. Anbianbo now. No matter how unreasonable you are, you can’t get an advantage and be good. I helped Zhijie obtain the title. You said I was harming him. Are you?” I don’t mean to say, I’ve harmed you too”

“Before, I only needed to be a little woman and not ask about things outside the window, but now I have to step out and deal with too much. But they clearly don't treat me as a family member. ”

Ning Tong got angry.

Others don’t know Zhu Feng’s habits, but the Zhu family does. In name, Ning Tong is Zhu Feng’s wife, but who in the Zhu family I don’t know if their relationship as husband and wife is in name only.

People from the Duke’s Palace are the most snobbish. Ning Tong probably has a strong sense of self-esteem and feels that he is being targeted all the time. He even feels that others are looking at him. There was something wrong in her eyes.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "In my opinion, Zhijie still cares about you. "

"What did you say?" Ning Tong fumed.

You clearly know the preferences of that boy Zhu Zhijie, but you actually said that he cares about me

"Haha, Madam, you might as well think about it, he could have put you in the boudoir without caring about your feelings, and let you live guarding the small yard. But he didn't do that. He asked you to take charge of the Zhu family's second room's business from the beginning and let you show up. Isn't it because he wanted you to get more respect? Even if we can't be a couple in name and in real life, I think you should be very Good friends. "

Zhang Zhou considered the words and almost wanted to say that you are very good "best friends", but after thinking about it, "friends" is more appropriate to describe the relationship between this strange couple.< /p>

Ning Tong was stunned for a moment.

Before, she was filled with resentment, feeling that her family and Zhu Feng had harmed her and made her marry a vase man.

p>

But after listening to Zhang Zhou's analysis, she seemed to feel that the heartless Zhu Feng seemed to really care about her, but maybe not as a couple, more like a couple. Kind of caring as a friend.

“You can be regarded as sharing weal and woe. He has also shared his status with you. If you feel that this is harming you and you want to escape, you can choose to divorce. You don’t need to resent what I have brought to him every time you see me."

Zhang Zhou also doesn’t want to be with Ning Tong is talking nonsense.

This is a grumbling woman in her early twenties who is planning to live a happy married life but is still living as a widow.

There are many mistakes. /p>

Besides, he wanted to go back quickly to prepare for mining in Xishan.

Ning Tong frowned and said, “Are you kidding me? "The possibility of divorce"

Zhang Zhou shrugged, "It's not possible with other families, but if you don't mention it to Zhu Zhijie, how can you know it's not possible? But whether you reconcile or divorce by him, your reputation will be ruined. It's up to you to choose to say goodbye. Next time you have a chance, I will give you the next chapter of that book."

""

Ning Tong was also speechless.

Zhang WeeklyEven though she made a very outrageous suggestion, she actually still remembered the book.

But thinking about it again, it seems that she is quite similar to the people and things in the book.

"Then can you tell him for me?"

Zhang Zhou had already taken a few steps, but Ning Tong's words made Zhang Zhou stop.

Zhang Zhou turned his head, frowned and looked at the woman up and down, shook his head with a wry smile, and gave her a look like "Why don't you do it yourself if you have something to do? You should pretend to be an outsider." He didn't answer, so he just said People leave.

Qianqing Palace.

General Dai Yi reported to Zhu Youtang in detail the suggestions of the Ministry of Rites and the Cabinet on the vend project.

"The Ministry of Rites has requested that Chang must have heard about it, so I present this memorial. However, I am afraid that what I have heard may not be true. Moreover, the list has not yet been opened, and I do not know who the real person is. As he said, he ordered Li Dongyang, together with the five classics and the examiners, to read through the red scrolls in the field again, and pick them up from the public, and discuss the date of opening of the results with the information, and also begged to change the copy. On the 29th of the month or the 2nd of March"

Zhu Youtang frowned and said, "Didn't I explain in court before that Cheng Minzheng did not participate in the marking and did not mark the marking, so how could he give and receive privately during the marking?"

p>

Dai Yi carefully answered, "The ministers in the court know it, but outsiders don't know. Hua Chang Shenzi said this. This is probably also the appeal of the candidates in the same examination."

In fact, Dai Yi also After reminding the emperor that Cheng Minzheng should stop grading in advance, it is best not to publicize it to the outside world. < /p>

"Yes." Zhu Youtang suddenly thought of something and nodded, "The previous proposal made by Bingkuan was also to stop marking the papers on the grounds that Cheng Minzheng was unwell. He did not even inform other inner court officials of the matter. It seems that I am anxious again."

That's not what Dai Yi wanted to say.

Zhang Zhou suggested that you let Cheng Minzheng withdraw from the examination in a low-key manner. As a result, your majesty became anxious and told the ministers about it in the court.

A bit bad.

Zhu Youtang said, "But this will let those ministers know Bingkuan's prediction on this matter, and know that Bingkuan will not be involved in the issue, so why not tell them"

Dai Yi stared.

It can still be like this

In your opinion, is it more important to calm down the disputes and bring stability to the government and the public, or is it more important to exonerate your brother Bingkuan? No need to ask, Your Majesty. They have already chosen the latter.

Dai Yixin said, no wonder those civil servants have such big opinions on Zhang Zhou, because His Majesty really does everything possible to help Zhang Zhou. When will I get such treatment?

Not long after, Xiao Jing sent someone back to deliver a note to Dai Yi, and then Dai Yi went over to explain Zhang Zhou's hidden worries to the emperor.

Zhu Youtang frowned and said, "If it is true as Bingkuan said, Mr. Li Ge will be deposed in the inner curtain according to the standard of calming material disputes."The exam paper that has been selected will probably make the situation worse. ”

Dai Yi was thinking secretly again, Your Majesty, you are worried that Li Dongyang will depose Zhang Zhou’s paper, so you said this

Even if Mr. Li Ge wants to be deposed There will also be standards for which papers to submit, and discussions with fellow examiners must be based on the matter and not the person.

Zhu Youtang didn't care about that. Cheng Minzheng is not involved in the matter of reviewing papers and selecting articles. Once the papers are selected from the inner curtain, they must not be sealed or removed. Anyone who has any doubts can report it and keep the records, and then send someone to investigate in detail. "

"Yes. ”

Dai Yi didn’t dare to make casual suggestions anymore.

He also saw that now Zhang Zhou’s words were whatever he said. Even if Zhang Zhou was the candidate for this examination, the emperor would not I don’t mind letting Zhang Zhou participate in it deeply.

“In addition, the release of the results for this exam will be postponed for five days and will be moved to the second day of March. "

Zhu Youtang still listened to the advice of the Ministry of Rites and the Cabinet, and asked Dai Yi to write a reply to the memorial and change the date of release.

Dai Yi asked for instructions, "Your Majesty, Now that Tang Yin, Xu Jing and Hua Chang have been assigned to the Jinyiwei North Town Fusi, it is still up to Bachelor Cheng to decide whether to strictly interrogate them."

Dai Yi wanted to remind the emperor that among the people involved in the case, It seems that there is another "fish that slipped through the net". Cheng Minzheng, as the most critical figure, is still hanging around behind the scenes.

"Let Cheng Minzheng temporarily resign and go back to his hometown to stay at home. The remaining matters will be dealt with after the results are announced. Don't talk about it. ”

Zhu Youtang seemed to be very tired too.

The court affairs made him unable to keep up mentally, which was also related to the fact that he had not taken Li Guang’s elixir recently.

But now Zhu Youtang knows that it is not a pill, but a poison.
