Chapter 334 What kind of bullshit is written?

Everyone was holding their breath, kneeling, standing, or sitting, but none of them moved.

It seems that they are unwilling to be the first person and want to wait for someone to take the lead. They also seem to be weighing and thinking.

The air seemed to be frozen.

Xia Yuan didn't say anything, just sat on the chair and waited. From what he said, it seemed like he was forcing him to say more.

After a long moment of silence, someone finally made a move, but instead of handing in the document, he picked up a pen and signed the document bit by bit, and pressed his fingerprints.

An understatement.

Although signing this document is like signing a life and death certificate, which requires a lot of courage, once signed, the whole person feels relaxed.

Everyone looked at the merchant. After a while, a second one went to sign the document, then a third one, and then a fourth one.

People have a herd mentality, so not everyone is willing to sign this document, but when they see people around them signing, they sign and seal it one after another.

Perhaps he is afraid of being looked down upon by his colleagues, perhaps he has a kind of confidence, perhaps he wants to give it a try and try to gain the favor of the court through this matter. Even if he cannot, it will be to find a way for himself and his descendants to advance.

.

No matter what emotions they had or what their purpose was, everyone silently signed their names and pressed their fingerprints.

Until this moment, Xia Yuan's tense face finally relaxed, "Hand over one copy of the signed document and keep the rest for yourself. Since you signed the document and received the errand, it's time to run the errand.

Put away all those thoughts that you shouldn't have, I don't want to see you at the Xisi Archway."

——

There were a total of 1,873 post stations in the Ming Dynasty. At present, more than 600 inns have built post offices, and the rest are still under construction. The issue of stamps can already be put on the agenda.

Of course, before issuing stamps, they must be preheated with newspapers.

After coming out of the government office lobby, Xia Yuan got on the carriage. At this time, he only cared about one thing. Did that bitch Zhu Houzhao complete his mission?

In the duty room of the cabinet, Zhu Houzhao was praising the three cabinet ministers, "Master Liu, everyone in the market has said that Liu Gongmou, Li Gongdan, and Xie Gongyou are talking about it. Master Liu's strategy must be first-rate."

Liu Jian shook his head very reservedly, "I don't know what strategy this veteran knows. It's all rumors passed down by the people in the market, and it can't be taken seriously."

"Master Liu is too humble. If there is a rumor, it must be true. My father often told me that Master Liu's knowledge is so profound that I would like to learn from you."

"Master Li, I have always admired you the most, especially when it comes to poetry and prose. I heard you are a good person."

Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao paused suddenly, raised his palm to take a look, and then continued: "Oh, everyone from the Chaling School of Poetry also writes this word very well."

Li Dongyang straightened his face and said solemnly: "Your Highness, you don't have to be like this. Poems and prose are nothing more than trivial matters."

Zhu Houzhao didn't answer, and looked at Xie Qian again, "And Master Xie, I have heard about it. You were the number one scholar in the first place, and you ranked first. This knowledge is among the best in the civil and military circles of this dynasty.

, it must be first-rate.”

Xie Qian said modestly: "Your Highness is really flattering me. The reason why I was able to win the top prize is just due to chance."

Zhu Houzhao grimaced, "I know where the fate comes from. I don't know how many people participate in this imperial examination every three years. If Master Xie can stand out, he must be the top scholar in high school."

There were only three cabinet ministers in Hongzhi's court, and Zhu Houzhao spared none of them and praised them all.

Hearing every compliment, the three pavilion elders became more and more confused. What did the prince want to do?

Normally when I see the three of them, I would at most say hello, but now, uncharacteristically, I went to the cabinet in person and slapped them in the face.

Moreover, this rainbow fart is also very hypocritical. I even forget the words and just look at my palms when I have nothing to do.

It was really hard for the three pavilion elders to believe that this compliment came from the sincerity and from the bottom of their hearts.

"Your Highness, if you have something to say, you can tell me and I will do my best."

"Oh, let me put it bluntly. In fact, it is nothing to the three masters. I heard that the three masters are very knowledgeable and want to ask for articles from the three masters. It doesn't take too much. The three masters are very knowledgeable.

Master, just give each person a dozen or so copies."

"Requesting an article?"

The three of them looked at each other, and then Li Dongyang asked: "I wonder what the article your highness asked the ministers to do was about?"

Zhu Houzhao immediately said with a serious face: "It's for reading. I am now eager to learn, reading articles every night without letting go of the scroll. I really have no articles to read in the past two days, so I asked the three masters."

Liu Jian and the others twitched their faces, and their words became increasingly false, making it difficult for people to listen to them.

Do you want to expose him?

After a slight silence, the three cabinet ministers decided to leave some dignity for the prince. Liu Jian forced a smile on his face and said, "His Royal Highness asked the ministers for articles. I was really flattered, but more than a dozen articles,

I’m afraid it will take some time to write it out.”

"You don't need to write it now. The three masters will just give me a dozen copies of the articles you wrote before. Any content will be fine. I don't choose."

After hearing this, the three of them could only say: "The articles are all at home. I will bring them to His Highness tomorrow."

"No tomorrow."

Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said, "I can't wait any longer. I want to see it now. Otherwise, let's do this. The three masters will send people to pick it up at home first. I will be waiting here. The three masters should not be idle.

Write a copy on the spot so that I can learn from the talents of the three masters."

"."

The three of them began to look at each other in confusion again. This was really abnormal. What on earth was His Highness going to do with their articles?

If you say it is for reading, no one will believe it.

I'm afraid it was sold for money.

It’s not their boast. As a senior author, their articles will definitely sell for a high price in the market.

But just sell it, just think of it as selling it to the prince. Of course, if the prince really uses it to read, can he understand it?

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will send someone to pick it up at home soon."

After sending their respective scribes back to their homes to get the articles, the three of them sat down at the desk again, pushed all the promissory notes aside, unfolded the rice paper, pondered for a moment, and then began to write.

As soon as I started writing, I devoted myself wholeheartedly to it.

Those who can serve as assistant ministers in the cabinet are all from the Hanlin Academy. When they took the imperial examination, they were among the top two in the imperial examination. When it comes to writing articles, they are top-notch experts.

But now that they have a distinguished status, their articles are not easily revealed to others, as they are suspected of showing off.

I don't even bother to sell my articles. I can't do it for the little money.

But if His Highness the Crown Prince wants it, that's a different matter. You can't refuse.

Xie Qian was always quick in thinking. In just a short time, he could write a eloquent article of thousands of words.

After drying the ink and appreciating his article, Xie Qian suddenly felt satisfied. The article was made by nature and was accidentally obtained by a skillful hand.

This is a quick release, I never expected it to be written so well.

It is indeed a top-notch article.

A faint smile appeared on Xie Qian's face, and he looked next to him. Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were still writing.

Seeing Xie Qian stop writing, Zhu Houzhao came over and took a quick look and made a conclusion in his mind.

What kind of bullshit is written? It’s so confusing that I can’t even understand it. Can this thing really increase the sales of newspapers?
