"Brother, what do you mean, you did this! Let King Lu Yan get rid of all his gang members! Does he still want that position?!"
After the news that Lu Xiangsheng suddenly went to Ludao and decisively executed Song Zhibi's group finally spread throughout the world, the seventh prince Zhu Cikai said it to his aide Chen Wei in a depressed mood, and looked quite excited.
And because Lu Xiangsheng killed so hard in Ludao, he got the nickname Lu Hell King.
"This is indeed something we did not expect. Fortunately, His Highness did not participate in Li Butang's accumulation of wealth, otherwise he would not be able to step down this time! I don't know what the eldest son of the emperor is thinking, but what is certain is that the emperor The eldest son may care more about justice in this world, and he may still care about that position. After all, as his eldest son, if he does not take this position, his life will inevitably be at risk."
"That's the truth! If he cares, why do he do this?!"
Zhu Cikai continued to ask for advice.
"Maybe he thinks this can make His Majesty think more of him."
Chen Wei replied.
"Then he only wants to please his father?"
Zhu Cikai asked.
Then, he stood up and pointed at himself and said: "Then who are we people? How can there be absolute justice in this world? Especially in Middle-earth, it is nothing more than becoming a king and losing a bandit! If he wants to be fair, he might as well go overseas to establish a To achieve justice for a vassal state, in such a huge place in China, it requires power and coordination, and what he is doing now has disappointed the people who support him!"
"Your Highness, calm down!"
Chen Wei replied, and then said: "It was also Li Butang and Song Zhibi who went too far. They emphasized how many times they only valued the Chinese Han people, because the Folangji people were good at killing Han people and directly massacred the entire Luzon Island. The Folangji people, they don’t have a long memory, and they don’t treat ordinary soldiers and civilians as human beings, how can they avoid getting into trouble?”
Zhu Cikai also nodded and said: "Fortunately, you persuaded me at that time and told me not to participate in Li Juesi's private accumulation of property, otherwise I would also be implicated by them!"
With that said, Zhu Cikai added: "But now I have to find out what eldest brother is thinking and whether he wants that position. In the name of studying abroad, go to Haining to meet him and ask him, otherwise we will be friends with him." My younger brother really can’t eat, and if he continues like this, he will really disappoint people completely!”
…
"I don't believe that China can't do justice. My father can do it, so why can't I do it? You go back and tell the seventh brother that you don't have to worry about them for your brother! As for the future, if you can sit in that position for your brother, it will still be If you can't sit still, you all have to look at God's will. God's will is the Holy Will. The Holy Will is unpredictable and cannot be interfered with. If your heart is bright, what else can you say!"
Zhu Ciwei replied after seeing Chen Wei.
He knew that his original choice had caused great losses to the powerful officials who supported him, and also caused these people to be greatly disappointed in him.
So much so that now even his brother Zhu Cikai has sent people to ask him and ask him to express his position.
Zhu Ciwei was naturally angry about this. He did not want to be driven, no matter whether it was one person or a group of people who drove him.
"Yes! I will convey it to you next time!"
Chen Wei replied disappointedly.
Then, Chen Weize, who is also a descendant of a prominent local family in Haining, continued: "Now that the county examination is coming, as a rule, except for the top ten in the county examination, which must be appointed by the county magistrate, the rest should be recommended by local celebrities to show respect for the virtuous. Feng, and those who are recommended should have the gift of thanking their master. I wonder if my sect can take the lead in this recommendation, and please give your permission! My father does recognize some local talents, and may be cited as reliable people for His Highness's residence. "
After hearing this, Zhu Ciwei gave Chen Wei a serious look, but thinking that the other party's father had taught him, he put away his ugly expression and just asked: "Is this happening? My father's newly awarded "Huang Ming Imperial Examination" The Standards did not mention this."
Chen Wei replied: "Of course this is not an express rule, but it has been done in the local area since the temple. Because the local officials can only use it by giving up some power to the local squires in order to show their intention to rule from the top down." The place is peaceful and the people's hearts are won!"
In the late Ming Dynasty, there was indeed an unspoken rule that admission to the county and government examinations required the recommendation of the Jin gentry before admission.
Because it is profitable to do so.
Usually, the government recommends candidates. According to clear records, each admission quota is worth a hundred taels.
The child test is naturally lower.
Therefore, there is a saying that "a child who takes the examination may understand the meaning of the text, but if he does not recommend it to the judge, the government will not admit it."
In the era when Zhu Youxiao, a time traveler, became the emperor, although the investigation of corruption was very strict, this trend still existed.
After all, even though Zhu Yuanzhang dealt with corruption as harshly as he did, he still could not stop corruption.
What's more, this method in which the Jin gentry receives money for recommendation, but the officials do not handle the money, but only make money for the Jin gentry so that the Jin gentry can collect imperial examination bribes, it is difficult to find out that the officials themselves are embezzling, and it is only regarded as gray income.
Therefore, it is inevitable that it still exists.
However, because Zhu Youxiao was very strict against corruption, the Jin gentry were more restrained and did not dare to go too far. Unlike before, if they were not recommended by the Jin gentry, they would definitely not be admitted.
The gentry will still decide the top ten places for the county magistrate himself.
After all, if there were really serious censors or academic envoys to inspect, they would only inspect the top ten in the county or government examinations.
Now, Chen Wei wants to give this power of recommendation to his clan.
Because Haining is a major imperial examination county in Hangzhou, thousands of people take the county examination every year. Even if each scholar who takes the county examination only receives ten yuan of recommendation silver coins, the Chen family can still earn tens of thousands of silver coins.
Therefore, Chen Weicai relied on his father to teach the emperor's eldest son in the palace, so he couldn't help but take the initiative. Worried that the emperor's eldest son did not understand the local rules, he patiently explained a few words, meaning, the emperor's eldest son, you are now Haining County You must learn to live in harmony with the Jin gentry and give some benefits to the Jin gentry. Not to mention that you are your own teacher. You will naturally get the support of the Jin gentry in the future.
"Such bad habits and stereotypes have disappeared from my place! I believe that a person with such high moral standards as my mentor would not be willing to do such a thing, turn the imperial examination field into a business place, and have something to do with Corporal Li Xian! What's more, the county magistrate is acting on behalf of The emperor governs a place, how can his power be divided among others?"
As Zhu Ciwei spoke, he put the tea on the table to express his intention to see off the guests.
Therefore, Chen Wei had to hold his hands and said: "Yes! I'll take my leave!"
…
"snort!"
After leaving the county government office, Chen Wei looked around and saw no one around, so he snorted secretly and walked away.
"You said he doesn't want us, the gentry, to recommend him?"
Chen Wei's father, Chen Qiyuan, asked in shock and disappointment after hearing this.
"Yes, our emperor's eldest son is quite sharp and has no kindness at all!"
Chen Wei replied.
"When I was studying in the palace, he was polite and respectful to his teacher, but I didn't expect that he would be like this. Wang Chongjian and the others really sacrificed their lives for him in vain! They also failed us who fought for the foundation of our country for him!"
Chen Qiyuan slapped his palm on the coffee table and said.
