Chapter 244 Confidant, rebelled!

The shameless Zhu Yunyou returned to the East Palace and headed straight to Lian Qiongqiong's bedroom.

The cute baby girl is chubby, and she is simply a baby fat. Zhu Yunyou is in a good mood with such a small ball. Especially the little girl can't speak or crawl now, she can interact with her simply, which makes Zhu Yunyou very happy.

Looking at Lian Qiongqiong sitting aside, Xu Miaoqing said, "I will be asked to send a letter from Taishan later. I will say that I have my own considerations about the imperial examination today. Taishan should not participate in anything. Whether it is a colleague who asks for something or a scholar who sends famous letters, I will ignore it."

Lian Qiongqiong didn't ask so much, but just agreed, "I understand, I will write a letter to the family immediately."

In fact, in the deep palace, Lian Qiongqiong didn't know much about things outside the court. Although she was the second only to the queen, she was the imperial concubine. The queen could not participate in some political affairs, let alone her, the imperial concubine.

Zhu Yunyou is quite relieved about practicing Qiongqiong. In fact, there are not many things to worry about in his harem, mainly because Zhu Yunyou is the emperor. As an emperor, sometimes there is really no need to worry about any intrigue. Even if there is intrigue, he just wants to compete for favor.

As for Wu Zhao and those who are, Zhu Yunyou doesn’t need to worry about it for the time being. After all, Wu Zhao is so rare. What’s more, even Wu Zhao is cultivated by Li Zhi slowly delegating power. It is obvious that Zhu Yunyou will not delegate power.

Zhu Yunyou will not delegate power, and Xu Miaoqing's status in the harem is also very stable, so there is no need to worry about many things.

As the second place in Hongwu in the 18th year of Hongwu, he is also a "members" of Huiyuan in the current keen keen, and Lian Zining may also be paid attention to by many people. After all, this old man has a special status and is not only literary talent, but he is now an important official in the court. Moreover, he is the father of the imperial concubine. If you insist on saying that he is now the father-in-law, there is actually no big problem.

After all, the queen's father is no longer there, so it is no problem to say that Lian Zining's status is a bit special.

Lian Zining received a letter from home, sighed and stopped saying anything. In fact, many scholars have indeed come to him in the past two days to send famous letters. The scholars in the north are dissatisfied with the ranking of the imperial examinations and are now making trouble in the capital.

The scholars in the south were actually not happy. Why did the court take care of you northerners? We southern scholars won the imperial examinations with their true talents. The court should cancel the so-called northern and southern rankings. It should be that all scholars take the exam together, ranking according to the pros and cons of the article, rather than how many places the southern scholars are given to the north.

It is better not to say more at this time, but also to consider your career and your granddaughter.

Just let the matter continue to ferment. Zhu Yunyou basically sat firmly on Diaoyutai at this time. He has been preparing for this for a long time, which is why he is constantly fueling the fire. He needs to make these things bigger, so that it is more cost-effective.

Rest in Lian Qiongqiong's palace, but it doesn't affect Zhu Yunyou is still a diligent and good emperor. He gets up when he should get up, and goes to the morning court when he should get ready. What's more, Zhu Yunyou is still looking forward to it now, waiting for some big things to happen.

All civil and military officials have arrived at Fengtian Hall. It can be said that many civil and military ministers in the court know something.

The martial artists were a little gloating. This time, the imperial examination caused such a big storm, so they basically just wanted to watch the excitement. As for Mei Yin and others, they seemed to have such a relationship at first glance, and they could be considered "noble". However, whether it was Mei Yin or Liu Xiao, they had more attributes of relatives.

The military honors naturally had nothing to do at this time, but for many civil officials, these things seemed a bit special. For them, this was such an uproar in the imperial examination this time, which was something they unexpected.

Zhuo Jing actually wanted to say something in his heart. As a Jinshi in the 18th year of Hongwu and an aspiring scholar, he must have wanted to do something. But now it seems that the court has a lot of things that have not been carried out according to his expectations.

Including the one I had been following me when I was in Shangqian Mansion, Zhuo Jing, as a scholar, also has his own pursuits and ambitions, and he has his own ideals and values.

Those colleagues had their own ideas or saw something. But Zhuo Jing did not intend to do this, because he was a scholar, and he had to be worthy of his conscience and the teachings of the saints.

Zhu Yunyou was not in a hurry at all. As for many civil and military ministers at this time, there was nothing we could do about it.

We must follow the rules and report from each department. This is the normal order. Especially now that the war is coming, there are still many things in the Governor's Office of the Five Army, and it takes a lot of time.

Just as these orders ended, many people looked at Ren Hengtai, Ru Wei, Mei Yin and Liu Yi. Next, it was the turn of these people, and the next thing was the imperial examination that was full of storms in the city.

Although Ru Wei felt distressed, he took the initiative to speak at this time, "I am grateful to the sage and be the chief examiner of the current exam. However, I am now angry and shouted that the imperial examination was unfair and that I apologized for the crime."

Liu Yi and Mei Yin also knelt down at this time. They were also the deputy examiners, and it seemed that they could not get rid of these things.

Zhu Yunyou didn't understand and asked with some confusion, "Oh? Ru Aiqing, have you ever had any personal gains in this imperial examination?"

Ru Wei immediately crawled on the ground and replied loudly, "I dare not!"

"Even this exam, the court did not deal with injustice, and the examiners did not favoritize themselves." Zhu Yunyou seemed to understand. He was sitting on the dragon throne high and seemed to be talking to himself, but his voice was heard by the ministers in the court, "Since that's the case, what's the crime?"

Yes, since there is no injustice, since there is no favoritism, naturally, don’t say that there is any crime. The saying of apologizing seems to be valid from the beginning, and it seems that everyone is a little cautious, or misunderstood Zhu Yunyou’s demeanor.

Although there are many rumors on the streets and alleys now, some say that the examiner paid the money, and some say that the examiner was engaged in regional discrimination. At this time, everyone seemed to be confused at all, and at this time everyone was obviously confused.

That being said, but everyone knows that there must be someone responsible for such a storm in this subject. As the examiner, Ru Wei seems to be the most suitable person to take the blame at this time. Even if he seems to have encountered an unrestrained disaster, but the scholars collectively make trouble, it is the examiner's responsibility.

Zhu Yunyou's words made many people feel a little surprised. After all, if something really happened, the examiner would definitely take the blame. But the emperor said this, obviously looking for reasons for Ru Wei and the others, which was obviously rude.

This seems to be a good reason. Ru Wei and the others might be able to escape from this matter.

But some people were obviously dissatisfied, and Zhuo Jing stood up at this time, "Your Majesty, the imperial examination is the foundation of the country's talent acquisition. Nowadays, scholars from all over the country have many resentment. If they cannot calm the doubts and resentment of the scholars, they will probably be difficult to convince the public!"

Zhu Yunyou looked at Zhuo Jing. This was the team that accompanied him to Peking to establish a capital. This was the important official who wanted to be appointed as the Minister of the Republic. But now, Zhuo Jing is the one who took the lead in "rebellion". He is a serious official Zhu Yunyou is quite optimistic about and his confidant!

It must be fake to say that you are not angry. Zhu Yunyou just squinted his eyes slightly and his voice was calm, "Oh? In the words of your beloved, what should I do? Should I give up Ru Qing's official position or get the title of two emperor uncles?"

Zhuo Jing immediately knelt down, his voice very calm, but he was extremely determined. "The scholars are so resentful, I'm afraid there are some problems with the imperial examination this time. I think it's time to order people to review the papers again!"

Zhu Yunyou nodded and then said, "Okay, since that's the case, Zhang Xin, the top scholar in the previous subject, you are also a bachelor's degree. The lecturer Dai Yi, Youzanshan Wang Junhua, Sizhilang Zhang Qian, Sijing Bureau proofreader Yan Shuzai, Zhengzi Dong Guan, you and others will go to review the papers together."

It seems that it is not enough, Zhu Yunyou said, "Zhuo Aiqing, what do you think?"

Many people felt that the emperor was really angry. Although the emperor seemed to have a calm tone now, the emperor's tone was the most scary thing. The emperor's attitude also shows that Zhuo Jing's career is almost at the end.

"You are also the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and your rank is enough." Zhu Yunyou said a little impatiently, "You should go to this matter. We remember that you were also the second place in Hongwu in the 21st year. After being an official for so many years, you can still understand the article."

Zhuo Jing looked up at the emperor. He knew that nothing unexpected happened. His career was likely to be beyond that.

But Zhuo Jing does not regret it because he has his own principles and his own pursuits. If he cannot stand up at this time, if he cannot speak out for the scholars in the world at this time, Zhuo Jing will feel that he will be uneasy in his life.

Zhu Yunyou "cut the mess with a quick knife" and ordered people led by Zhuo Jing to form an investigation team to organize the review of the papers.

It seems that this is how this happens. Perhaps many people think that after the second marking of the paper, there will definitely be a result soon, which can bring the current discussion of the spring exam to an end, and everyone’s doubts should be resolved.

Zhu Yunyou walked slowly towards Wuying Palace after going down the court. It would be a lie to say that he was not irritable or angry.

After all, many things were originally under his expectations and control, but now Zhuo Jing's incident happened has caught Zhu Yunyou off guard, and even made some of his plans mess up.

After smashing a heavy inkstone, Zhu Yunyou cursed angrily, "If you lack Butcher Zhang, I can only eat a pig with hair?!"
