Fei Hong, Yang Yiqing, Wang Qiong and others were inside the house.
A group of people who can determine the fate of the entire Ming Dynasty gathered together in this small area.
No one spoke, letting silence spread around him.
The weather in February is still cold, and a gust of wind blows, bringing in the biting coolness.
"Ah, cut—!!" Wang Qiong sneezes hard because of the blow, instantly breaking the silence of the room.
Rubbing his nose in a mess, as soon as he looked up, he found that his colleagues around him were staring at him. Obviously, this situation requires a "eye-skin bag" to break the situation, and since Wang Qiong is so unlucky, he is the first to speak out, then
This character is his!
But Wang Qiong is such a smart person. Seeing that the situation is wrong, he immediately lowered his head and pretended to be dead. Unexpectedly, Yang Yiqing, who was standing beside him, suddenly kicked him from behind. Wang Qiong did not stand firm and staggered towards the fall
.Finally, I finally stabilized my body, but found that I was already standing between Jiajing and Xian Ruxing.
Wang Qiong: “…”
He cursed a few words in secret and made a fuss. Wang Qiong gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, it's very windy outside, otherwise you can come in first." Damn it, I'm going to die together!
It was not until this time that Zhu Hougui woke up from his dream. He stiffened his body and just raised his legs. Suddenly, he realized something and turned to look at Xian Ruxing.
Xian Ruxing looked entangled and shook her head at the boy.
Zhu Houcong was a little disappointed. He lowered his head, which had already raised, and withdrew his foot, he coughed twice, and said in a very unnatural tone: "I... I suddenly remembered that there was still a court case to deal with, so
Let's go first."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
After the emperor left, everyone present was obviously relieved.
The ministers looked at Xian Ruxing one after another, with expressions of wanting to speak but stopping on their faces.
"Then, let's continue with the topic just now." Xian Ruxing looked calm, as if nothing had happened. "I believe you have all seen the memorial presented by the Ministry of Revenue this year. Although the Western Regions business trip has just been opened for a few months, the fiscal revenue is
, which has increased by 30% from the previous period. If the maritime ban is truly opened, as long as it is properly operated, it will not be a problem that the court will no longer have a deficit in the future."
"Ah? Ah...is that true?"
The ministers were absent-minded and their minds were still confused. At the same time, they couldn't help but give a thumbs up at Xian Ruxing. After all, after hearing the emperor's "true feelings", they were all confused. Xian Ruxing, the person involved, was as stable as Mount Tai. How much perseverance is this?
Only then can it be done!
Now the chief minister of the cabinet is Fei Hong. As the head of all officials, he still has to stabilize at this moment, so he reluctantly said: "Well, the increase in fiscal revenue may not be entirely due to the opening of business. This year, the court has been in charge.
Many new policies have been implemented, such as reducing royal family expenses, remeasurement of land, and the harvest of the people. The maritime ban is a big deal. If you really want to reopen it, you have to discuss it carefully, but the promotion loom you mentioned can be put on the agenda.
”
"That's good, let's take a look next year," Xian Ruxing nodded, "I will send the textile machine drawings to everyone's houses later. Your Majesty, you are familiar with the Minister of Works. Please help me ask this year
Can mass production be achieved?”
Fei Hong was frightened and stared in shock and said, "What are you calling me!?"
Xian Ruxing was stunned and instantly reacted, "No, Master Ge, Master Ge."
The two of them stood in awkwardly in their eyes.
After a long time, Yang Yiqing stood up and called out, "Oh, the fire dragon in this room is too hot, and even people can't hear clearly. Otherwise, I would do this today and talk about the rest later."
Xian Ruxing nodded quickly, got up and sent the few people out.
Outside the house, Fei Hong's legs seemed to be in the wind, and he walked in the front.
Yang Yiqing behind him couldn't help but shout, "Oh, Zi Chong, please slow down and measure my old arms and legs. I have been in the northwest for a long time, and it hurts in the cracks of my bones in winter."
Fei Hong stopped and turned back with a pale face, "Do you still want to stay here if you are slow? It's really a disgrace to be gentle!"
"How can a young man Mu Shaoai be a disgrace? You are not the same back then." Yang Yiqing couldn't help but give him a blank look. The two had worked together, but Yang Yiqing was still Fei Hong's superior, so he took the other party's old secrets without any slightest understanding.
Show mercy.
"You don't know. When this guy first got married, our Taichang Temple obviously took care of the meal at noon and insisted on walking home to eat with his wife. At that time, he also made excuses to be filial to his parents, and everyone was embarrassed to point him out.
.”
"Stop!" Fei Hong's face turned red and he said in anger: "Can it be the same? I am a couple!"
"Then how do you know that they can't be a couple!"
"The more you talk, the more unreasonable you are! Are you so confused?" Fei Hong was so angry that he trembled, "I won't say that Xian Ruxing is a monk. Just look at the two of you just now. Xian Ruxing looked at her and went back obediently. She
I didn't stop in the previous dynasty, but when I really entered the harem, I would do the work of the hen holding the morning."
"Yang Yiqing, do you want the Ming Dynasty to produce Wu Zhao too!"
"This..." Yang Yiqing stopped talking. After all, those with long eyes could tell that Xian Ruxing was indeed a strong man. If such a character could still be treated as a "trusted minister" in the previous dynasty, he would really become an emperor when he was in the harem.
There is no one in the world who can suppress the person by his pillow.
Fei Hong frowned, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "We just pretend that today's incident has never been seen, and no one is allowed to say whether he has heard it afterwards!"
Everyone nodded, saying that they would never give up a word.
Fei Hong sighed, recalled the scene just now, and walked out of the palace with great worries.
After seeing them off, Xian Ruxing sat on the chair with his eyes blank and didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, he grabbed his hair and squatted on the ground in pain.
The two lives have lived for more than 30 years and the society has died together for only a few minutes! She really didn't expect that Zhu Houxiang, a little boy, had such thoughts about him!
I recalled the process of getting along with the two, and it seemed that I had never done anything beyond the line. Could it be that it was because the other party was the one who could speak and was the opposite sex, so I made a mistake?
No matter what, things have happened. Since you don’t want to respond, then try to deal with it coldly.
Xian Ruxing was planning like this, and when he recalled what Zhu Houcan said at that time, he felt a headache again.
Five years... He seemed to be only twelve or three years at that time...
What's going on with your Zhu family?!
I spent the night in a daze. After getting up in the morning, I planned to continue working in the leopard room, but then I received a message from Xu Jie.
Xian Ruxing frowned, "Tell him that I don't have time these two days, and I'll wait for another day."
Zhao Silu didn't know what happened yesterday. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, she hesitated a little. After a long time, she still spoke, "Why, go and meet?"
Xian Ruxing raised her eyebrows and looked at her in confusion, "You..."
"Don't look at me, I have nothing to do with him." Zhao Silu explained, "The main reason is that I heard that boy was about to cry when he came. Maybe there was something urgent."
"It's OK." Xian Ruxing shook his head, threw away the absurd thoughts inside, sighing that he was really led by Zhu Houguan, and now he thinks about everything about men and women. He waved his hand and asked someone to lead Xu Jie in.
After a while, Xu Jie came in under the guidance of the eunuch. When he saw Xian Ruxing, he knelt down without saying a word.
Xian Ruxing quickly helped him up, "What's wrong? This is?"
Xu Jie's eyes were red and he hurriedly said, "Zhengren Xian, do you still remember Zhen Ge?"
"Zhengge..." Xian Ruxing thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Ah, I almost ignited the exam room by taking a cheating, right?"
"Hey, yes," Xu Jie was a little embarrassed. His examination room was far away from the scene and he was not sure about the situation at that time. He only knew about the passing of it after he returned, so he came to find Xian Ruxing immediately.
I planned to say yesterday that I was sent away by the other party and can no longer wait.
"Real person, Zhen Ge committed suicide in the Ministry of Justice last night. Although he was found to have been rescued long ago, now he is just breathing a sigh of relief. Please save him!"
Xian Ruxing was a little surprised and pondered for a moment and said that he could send a doctor there, but what he did in the future depends on his own luck.
Xu Jie gritted his teeth and continued: "Although Zhen Ge is wrong, he actually has his own difficulties. Although he has taken the exam twice, he has not yet passed this year. He is still young in his career, so there is no need to go there.
Cheating."
"Oh? Then why did you say he is because of?" Xian Ruxing nodded. Although he did not agree with the other party's words, he was patient and obedient to listen to his explanation.
Xu Jie didn't care about his friend's face at this time and directly explained the other party's life experience.
It turned out that Zhen Ge's father was a seventh-rank chief in Datong Mansion. He was a small military officer with more than 400 soldiers under his command. The Zhen family has been a military householder for generations, and Zhen's father was not very good at first. At the beginning, he was just
The soldier who helped Shangguan lead the horse was sweet-mouthed and tall and handsome, so he coaxed Shangguan to marry his daughter to him and also helped him more.
Datong Prefecture is known as the crown of the Nine Passes. In the past few decades, the little Mongolian prince led his troops to invade continuously. Every time he fought, there were casualties on the Ming Dynasty. Shangguan family was so sadly killed when they attacked the enemy. However, after his father-in-law died, he was killed.
Zhen's father was like a different person. He not only carried his cousin from afar into the yard, but also favored his concubine and killed his wife. Zhen's mother was even driven into a horse's house for a while.
Fortunately, Zhen Ge showed his talent for studying at a young age. He became a scholar early and then barely won the Juren. He was only in his early twenties when he passed the Juren, which was a bright future. Zhen’s mother also passed two years.
Good days. However, with his two arrivals, his mother's status in his hometown became worse again.
Xian Ruxing was a little puzzled, "Is there no one to care about the concubine and the wife?"
Xu Jie smiled bitterly, "Who can control the family affairs behind closed doors? Not to mention Zhen Ge, a juren, is the vassal king of Datong Mansion, the first dynasty king. His wife was the daughter of the founding general Xu Da, and wasn't she forced by her concubine.
In the end, Zhen’s mother had a heart attack and used Zhen Ge’s salary rice to buy medicine for years. If Zhen Ge fails to pass the exam this time, his mother will probably not be able to live long. Real person, please
For his filial piety, please spare his life."
"Well... no," Xian Ruxing shook his head in the expectant gaze of the other party, "Although he is indeed pitiful, if I favor myself, I will be unfair to the other candidates. Let's do this, according to the "Da Ming Law", like him
Those who are caught cheating in the imperial examination should first beat the board, and then be sent to the frontier for nine years in prison. After the term expires, the scholars are deprived of their status and demoted them to common people. Since you have pleaded with him, he will commit suicide again. I will fight with the court.
Apply, exempt the board, replace the place where he served his sentence with Datong, and let him perform filial piety with his mother. Oh, by the way, I can also let his parents divorce and give them peace…”
"No!" Xu Jie quickly stopped him, "When Zhen Ge was still a juren, his mother had such a difficult life. Now he has become a prisoner, so there is no need to say! Besides, even if he is separated and is in the same place, father and son
How can we tell the difference between the two?"
Xian Ruxing pursed her lips and looked at him helplessly, "Zisheng, people always have to pay the price for their mistakes. You have done everything you can."
Xu Jie clenched his fists and finally tried to say, "Zheng Ge, the article is average, but his brain is very useful, and his hands-on ability is strong. He understands all the books you compiled by real people in less than a month, and he often draws them out.
Time tells me. You have not always wanted a knowledgeable craftsman. Instead of letting him waste his whole life on the frontier, it is better to follow you to make up for your mistakes!"
"This..." Xian Ruxing hesitated, it was true. She studied the rice sculpture and a magnifying glass, and it was indeed a bit difficult. In this era when "everything is inferior, only reading is high", she could figure it out
These are already very powerful, and it is a pity to just bury them like this.
After thinking about it for a while, he said to Xu Jie: "You go back first, I will consider this matter."
Xu Jie wanted to continue saying something, but Xian Ruxing glanced at him and didn't dare to say anything. He bowed respectfully and left.
After he left, Xian Ruxing was a little confused.
As she said before, Zhen Ge must be punished, at least he should not think about being an official in his life. And not only that, the court has made a decision this year to rectify the examination discipline. Not only him, but his son is likely to be in the career path.
Even the emperor is hard to make progress. But as a white man, it is not impossible to stay by his side to work. However, those who have been in the Ministry of Justice will definitely need to be personally criticized by the emperor.
So...are you going to see Zhu Houguan so early?
Thinking of the scene yesterday, Xian Ruxing suddenly had a big head.:,,.
