The matter of passing the law test was discussed in the Chang Dynasty for a whole morning.

Finally I got a charter.

The memorandum submitted by the cabinet only stated whether on the original basis, some rewards could be given to officials who had passed the exams well.

Regarding the pilot project, the final votes were drawn for the Shuntian Prefecture, Nanzhili, and Fujian Chief Envoy Offices.

None of the parties were satisfied, but they all reluctantly agreed. This can be regarded as the result of the game between all parties.

When the memorial was reported to Concubine Li, there were two more changes.

Concubine Li asked Feng Bao to send the memorial back to the cabinet for reconsideration and gave two instructions.

One is that the 100,000 taels owed by the Ministry of Revenue to the inner court do not need to be returned after summer. They can be used as rewards for passing the law, and the inner court will send people to distribute them at that time.

In another place, the needlework bureau was included in the scope of examination, and Zhang Hong took the job.

There was nothing wrong with the former, but Feng Bao's attitude towards the latter was very fierce and insisted on excluding Zhang Hong.

Concubine Li is soft-hearted.

Which advice she listens to depends only on who is the last one to give it.

In the end, Feng Bao's godson took it.

When Zhu Yijun heard the news and rushed to Concubine Li's palace, Feng Baozheng walked out of the palace.

"The ministers pay homage to His Highness." Feng Baoyang saluted first.

Zhu Yijun saw that the eunuch behind Feng Bao was holding a stack of memorials and knew that he was late.

I sighed in my heart. After all, we are masters and servants who have been together for many years. It cannot be explained in a few words.

At this moment, he suddenly thought, didn't Li Shi have to move into Qianqing Palace to study with him in history?

After being manipulated by him now, will he still move?

If he wanted to move into Qianqing Palace, he would watch over Concubine Li every day, and he didn't believe that something like this could happen again.

This thought flashed through his mind, and his face was gentle: "Please get up quickly, my companion."

"My eldest companion has been working hard to serve me and my concubine."

Feng Bao smiled flatteringly and said: "Your Highness is trying to disgrace the minister. Your Majesty and the Queen need this humble body of the minister, and it's too late for the minister to be happy."

"Your Highness, the empress has asked the ministers to do some things. The ministers will go first and come to Qianqing Palace later to accompany Your Highness in reading and practicing calligraphy."

These great eunuchs have some knowledge in their bodies - they cannot be great eunuchs without some knowledge, and they cannot do it without studying.

Feng Bao was a leader among the eunuchs. He was quite familiar with scriptures and his handwriting was also good.

On weekdays, when Zhu Yijun was reviewing his homework, practicing calligraphy and writing posts in the afternoon, Feng Bao would come to wait on him for a while.

Recently, Zhu Yijun deliberately showed his intelligence and did not give Feng Bao any opportunity to teach him a lesson or correct him, but Feng Bao still insisted on coming to serve.

Zhu Yijun nodded gently: "You can go on your own, big companion."

Feng Bao saluted again, bent over and walked out, keeping his posture extremely low.

Just when the two of them passed by each other, they all stopped smiling in unison, with different expressions.

Zhu Yijun stood there, his face turned sideways, watching Feng Bao's shadow gradually go away from the corner of his eye.

stood for a while.

Only then did Zhu Yijun take steps towards Concubine Li's bedroom with a cold expression.

I used Li Shi and Gaoyi to exert influence. I had just decided on the general plan of taking the exam, but after just one turn, everything changed immediately.

Not to mention one more province was included in the pilot program, and Zhang Hong’s peaches were also picked by Feng Bao.

He is truly a capable person who has climbed to a high position on his own, not just a puppet on a string.

Anyway, it's roughly correct, and it can be regarded as achieving its goal.

How much food can you eat if you have a big belly?

With such emotion, he went outside the palace.

Zhu Yijun smiled skillfully again and stepped in: "Mother, the child has come to say hello."

When she entered the palace, she saw that Concubine Li was not engaged in official duties, but was actually working as a female worker.

Seeing her son coming, Concubine Li quickly greeted her: "Just in time, come on, come on, mother, let's see how tall you are."

Before Zhu Yijun could figure out the situation, he was pulled and tossed by the palace maid, and the dimensions were measured.

After finishing the work, he remembered that Concubine Li had promised him to make him a new coat.

Zhu Yijun said helplessly: "Mother, winter is still far away."

Concubine Li gave him an angry look: "You don't understand female workers, so why are you talking so much? It will be too late to make the coat in the winter. Mother can make it now and make it a bigger size."

Zhu Yijun pursed his lips and could not continue to speak.

While working as a female worker, Concubine Li said casually: "I heard that at the Japanese lecture this morning, you said that you would let the gentlemen and mother take a test on the school's knowledge?"

Zhu Yijun nodded and said half-jokingly: "Isn't it because my mother was suspicious that I didn't study hard last time? Now I want my mother to take the exam on time."

In order to appear close to others, you must make some intimate jokes.

If you are blindly submissive and serious, you will never be able to get close to your leader.

Concubine Li knew her son was joking and glared at him: "No big or small."

Zhu Yijun licked his face and leaned over: "Mother, I have worked hard to practice, so naturally I want mother and gentlemen to see the results. Otherwise, wouldn't it be like walking in brocade clothes at night?"

He looked like he wanted to show his holiness in front of others, and never mentioned that he was a platform for the Dharma examination.

If you talk too much about some things, the traces of chiseling will be too obvious.

Concubine Li said: "That's true. It's a good thing that you have confidence in knowledge. I'm sure."

"But gentlemen, just take the exam. Mom, I don't understand these Four Books and Five Classics."

Zhu Yijun explained: "It's just me reciting the meaning, and my mother will test me in front of the book."

"Besides, there is also a queen mother."

The two palaces have to come forward in this matter, otherwise the standards will not be enough and the popularity will not be high.

As long as you talk about officials, there will always be people who think that you are just talking about officials as subordinates, covering up your mistakes and making things wrong.

Besides, during the Liangong Examination, being able to watch his study progress face to face was a kind of silent strategy.

It doesn't matter if Concubine Li doesn't understand much. At least Empress Chen is a qualified examiner, which will help promote his reputation as a diligent scholar.

Even so, Concubine Li's face suddenly turned cold after hearing this.

He turned his face away and said angrily: "Then you go ask your mother. She doesn't know anything about it. It will just be a show."

After that, she excused herself as a female worker and had no time to deal with him, so she asked Zhu Yijun to go back to Qianqing Palace to review his lessons.

Facing Concubine Li's sudden appearance, Zhu Yijun was confused.

When he reacted, he had already been invited out by the palace maid and stood alone and messy outside the palace.

It wasn't until he was pacing on the road and thinking for a long time that Zhu Yijun realized that his mother-in-law seemed to have some quarrel with Empress Chen.

Only then did he remember that on the day he first traveled through time, he mentioned that he wanted the two palaces to supervise his studies, and Concubine Li looked noncommittal.

After that, every time I mentioned Empress Chen, it was a bit salty and not bland.

Zhu Yijun looked strange. Could it be that there was some old feud in the harem?

The more he thought about it, the more it made sense to him.

The main palace was driven to the other palace, but the side chamber valued the son and the harem. It was strange that there was no resentment between the two.

Zhu Yijun was secretly annoyed, and it was also his fault that in his previous life, his personal style was too good, and he was not sensitive to the affairs of the harem at all, so he only realized it later.

Sure enough, there is no end to learning.

It's a pity that I was kicked out too quickly. I didn't even remember to say anything about passing the needlework bureau exam.

Forget it, it was originally a dead horse and a live doctor. After all, Feng Baodu had gone to the cabinet with his memorial, so there was not much chance of Concubine Li changing her mind.

Let Feng Bao take charge of this matter. Let him catch the mistakes and make some use of them.

It would be a good thing if he dared to violate Li Guifei's trust. This would consume Concubine Li's trust.

Instead of worrying about this matter, I would rather think about how to bring Feng Bao down.

Thinking of this, he turned around and stretched out his hand to signal Jiang Keqian who was not far away.

Jiang Keqian got the signal and ran over: "Your Highness, what are your orders?"

Zhu Yijun asked: "Has Yuan Fu done anything recently?"

The polished young master does not have the background to depose the chief minister of etiquette with a single word. If he wants to bring down Feng Bao, he can only wait for him to gain momentum first, and then he will follow the trend.

This matter still has to fall on Gao Gong.

Why don't the two of them start fighting?

How can he make a profit without seeing any blood?

Since Gao Gong is fighting to the death with Feng Bao, how can he still hold back and not move?

Jiang Keqian hesitated and said: "Yuan Fu is still the same as before. Even the communication with the court officials in the past two days has not been as frequent as before."

Zhu Yijun had no choice but to force Gao Gong to work, right?

I could only nod my head: "Keep watching."

After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Keqian again and saw that the dark circles under his eyes had become heavier in the past few days. He couldn't help but expressed relief: "Just get things done, don't be too impatient, and pay attention to rest."

Jiang Keqian's bowed body obviously paused, and he replied in a vague voice: "Wei Chen understands."

Zhu Yijun waved his hand, signaling Jiang Keqian to step back.

But I was still thinking about Gao Gong.

Yuansuke, what on earth are you going to do?

…

"Mr. Li, what exactly are you going to do?" Gao Gong asked in confusion.

Just now Feng Bao brought the meaning of the two palaces, and several cabinet ministers could not hide their surprise.

Concubine Li not only graciously promised that the hundred thousand taels owed by the Ministry of Revenue would be reserved as a reward for passing the law.

Moreover, they also intend to let the inner court also try out the examination method.

The sun really comes out in the west.

Gao Yi was very impressed and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Concubine Li to be so generous. She is really clean and tidy."

Internal funds have always been paid to the warehouse, and this is the first time Gaoyi has seen money returned.

really!

His idea is correct. As long as he teaches the new king well, he can coordinate internal and external affairs and work together to govern.

After the new king takes charge... Ming Dynasty may not be able to rise from the ashes.

Zhang Juzheng had a complex expression: "In this case, let's draft the votes again. First, finalize the test method, and then discuss the details later."

When he first heard about the internal funds, he didn't think anything of it. After all, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were always good at buying people's hearts.

If the Ministry of Household Affairs contributes money, a system can still be formed, but if the money is provided from internal funds, it may be gone at some point.

That precocious sage may have temporarily cut off his flesh and invited people to buy his thoughts.

But after the court meeting this morning, Zhang Juzheng heard that Zhu Yijun took the initiative to seek success in the examination and asked the lecturer and the two palaces to supervise the lessons.

He immediately understood the meaning, which was to stand up for the Dharma examination.

This distant support inevitably gave Zhang Juzheng a special feeling.

Now that he heard that Concubine Li was going to use the examination method in the Acupuncture Bureau, he was even more confused.

How cunning and cunning is this new king, and how much of his same-minded people are he?

Gao Gong didn't think too much and nodded: "I will redraw the votes right away."

Immediately, he picked up the pen and started writing.

Taking advantage of this gap, Gao Gong said, "By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to mention."

Gao Yi and Zhang Juzheng looked over.

Gao Gong didn't even raise his head: "I have negotiated with the Ministry of Industry regarding the Shishan Mausoleum. We will discuss it at Tanyu Ridge in Tianshou Mountain tomorrow. I'll let you know in advance."

The two of them nodded. This was the right thing to do. Tianshou Mountain was the place that had been chosen a long time ago. Tanyu Ridge was also chosen by Buddhists and the Ministry of Industry, and the two of them had heard about it in the past few days.

Gao Gong continued: "Zixiang's body and bones are not as strong as my uncle's. The weather is hot and hot, and it is easy for him to suffer. It's better for my uncle to go there."

Gao Yi wanted to argue, but then he thought that at his age, he should remain useful rather than trying to show off his strength.

He could only cast an apologetic look at Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng paused, smiled and said, "It's the right thing to do."

"Where are the people accompanying you?"

He was replying casually, but Zhang Juzheng couldn't stop groping his knuckles.

It stands to reason that Gao Yi is indeed too old to see the mountain, so it is up to him, Zhang Juzheng, to step in.

But... the high arch shouldn't explain it.

Zhang Juzheng understood Gao Gong, and he never bothered to explain things that were taken for granted.

According to Gao Gong's temperament, he should have just clicked on him casually.

His current act of comfort made him realize something was wrong.

Gao Gong didn't realize that a simple habit of his had revealed his flaws, and he didn't even realize it: "According to the old rules of Jiajing seven years, Zhang Shouzhi, the Minister of Household Affairs, Zhu Dashou, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhao Jin, the left minister of the Ministry of Works, have already set the quota."

"For the rest, let's go to the censor and give him some advice. Let's talk about it at the court meeting tomorrow."

"As for those who want to go to the inner court, let them decide for themselves."

Zhang Juzheng's thoughts were racing, but he nodded calmly: "I will set off after the grand ceremony."

At this time, Gao Gong happened to finish writing the draft.

He summoned an official on duty and ordered him to be sent to the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

"Okay, let's wait until the two palaces approve the examination tomorrow, and then we can discuss it in detail with the Ministry of Personnel."

The examination method currently only discusses the general direction, whether to do it or not, and how to do it.

But for concrete implementation, a detailed plan needs to be discussed, not only to review past inspections, but also to compile various files from Shuntian Prefecture, Nanzhili and Fujian Chief Secretary.

Waiting for each department of the Ministry of Personnel to come up with a detailed rule, and then coordinate with each department and the six departments, this process will take at least two or three months.

But Zhang Juzheng was already relieved. At this point, all parties had a balance, and that was enough.

From now on, even if Gao Gong becomes an official, his disciples and former members, as well as other parties and factions, will still recognize the outcome of this matter.

This way, there is no need to wait for oneself to reconcile all parties again and waste time. This time, at least half a year's work will be saved.

On the contrary, it was Gao Gongcai's reaction that made Zhang Juzheng quite suspicious.

He had some guesses in his mind, but he wasn't sure.

Zhang Juzheng secretly thought about Gao Gong's plan, bowed his hands, and went back to the check-in room.

Seeing that nothing happened, Gao Yi followed closely behind.

Just when Grohe was about to step out of the threshold, he heard the sound of high arches coming from behind.

"Zixiang, wait a moment."

Gao Yi turned around in confusion.

Gao Gong slowly stood up from behind the desk.

He walked up to Gao Yi, looked up and down, and sighed: "Zixiang has a lot more white hair."

Gao Yi just recalled old times and shook his head: "Time is not forgiving."

Gao Gong looked at his old friend, reached out and squeezed Gao Yi's arm, and said with emotion: "Zixiang, after His Highness ascends to the throne, you should also take a leave of absence for a few days."
