As soon as Tu Hai mentioned the Guangdong Provincial Examination, Guangdong Academician Xue Zhang, who had been cowering to one side and unable to talk, immediately became energetic and tried to get closer, waiting for Tu Hai to ask questions with a smile on his face.
Tu Hai caught a glimpse of his attentiveness and asked with a smile: "Xue Tixue, how are you preparing for the provincial examination in Guangdong? When will the examination start? I heard in Beijing that Cantonese people don't like studying very much... ...Is this a thing?”
Xue Zhang quickly smiled and replied: "General, you are right. Cantonese people are indeed not as enthusiastic about studying as I am in Jiangnan, my hometown. But not liking studying does not mean that you don't like passing the examination! This time the Guangdong provincial examination passed the examination The quota has doubled compared with previous years. This is a huge favor from the emperor! Therefore, scholars in Guangdong will definitely come to take our provincial examination, and no one will go to Guangzhou to take the rebel examination."
"What? A traitor's test?" Tu Hai was amused by Xue Zhang's words, "It's already this time, Prince Zhu San still has the heart to bother with this?"
"Isn't that right?" Xue Zhang said with a smile, "With only a dozen counties, we are not qualified to hold a provincial examination, but we actually have to hold a general examination. How arrogant! Such rebels will not have any future. "
While talking, Xue Zhang also took out an "Imperial Examination Notice" issued by Guangzhou Xingshizi's Mansion from his sleeve pocket, and handed it to Tu Hai with a smile, "General, look at this, they also sent detailed work in Guangdong, Such notices are posted all over Fujian, and I heard that some people are also posting them in some places in Hunan and Jiangxi."
"What else is there?" Tu Hai took the notice handed to him by Xue Zhang and squinted at it for a while, "You can take the exam without cutting off your braids...why did you think of going together with the emperor?" ? This fake prince Zhu Heji seems to have some knowledge!"
Xue Zhang smiled and said: "It's useless to be knowledgeable. Nowadays, scholars all over the world have long been interested in the Qing Dynasty, and no one will go to Guangzhou to take the exam."
"Really?" Tu Hai touched his beard, then looked back at the people around him, "What do you think?"
"General, the common people have something to say, do you know whether you should say it or not?"
As soon as Tu Hai finished speaking, he saw a man in his early forties, with a fair face, three beards, wearing a green cloth gown and a melon-skin cap on his head, walking out from behind Kong Sizhen, and then gave Tu Hai Hai knelt down.
"Who is this person?" Tu Hai was stunned and said to himself: "Why did a common man appear? How did he run up to this general? And...there is no thunder hidden in this common man. Bar?"
When he was doubtful, Kong Sizhen had already spoken, "Master Tu, he is Fu Honglie. He was formerly the prefect of Qingyang, Gansu Province, and also served as a fellow prefect of Shaozhou Prefecture. He was dismissed from his post and sent to Wuzhou because of his conviction. The Nu family thought he was a talented person. , so I made him a master."
"Oh..." Tu Hai nodded and thought to himself: "It turns out it's idiot Fu who lost his fortune when he became an official and was even sent to the army!"
"Fu Honglie" is Fu Honglie's nickname. The reason why he has such a nickname is of course because he is a bit stupid.
When others become an official, it means "three years to clear the prefecture, and one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver." When he became a prefect, a fool like him, not only did not get one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver, but he saw that the people in Qingyang, Gansu were too poor to pay taxes. He actually used his family's money to subsidize it... but ended up going bankrupt when he became an official!
Of course, if he had a big plan and wanted to get a bigger official and work harder to get it back, no one would say he was stupid.
But just when Emperor Kangxi was about to reward him with a good job to make up for his money, this fool went to Shu to impeach Wu Sangui for his evil conspiracy... Where did Wu Sangui provoke him? Even if Wu Sangui was really up to no good, officials at his level could not intervene.
As a result, Emperor Kangxi had no choice but to dismiss him from office and question him, and he was found guilty of having his head chopped off. Fortunately, he was pardoned and sent to Guangxi to be exiled to the army.
Look, this official not only bankrupted his family and property, but also served as a soldier!
This is not a fool, who is a fool?
"Fu Sha... Fu Honglie, right?" Tu Hai glanced at Kong Sizhen, looking at the Buddha instead of the monk, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Thank you, Master Tu." Fu Honglie kowtowed to Tu Hai again, "The common people think that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles! We don't know what is going on in Guangzhou now. So the traitor's pseudo-imperial examination is a way for the court to detect the traitor. A good opportunity to find out the secrets of the camp... Cao Min is willing to take the risk and pretend to be a candidate from Jiangxi and go deep into Guangzhou to find out.
In addition, Cao Min also wanted to take this opportunity to copy the list of candidates who passed the fake Jinshi exam. In this way, after the thieves are eliminated, the court will be able to arrest people according to the list, and no traitor will slip through the net! "
"Isn't this too loyal?" Tu Hai looked at Fu Honglie and muttered in his heart, "You fool, you have already become an upright official to this point, how can you still be so loyal? You don't want to take the opportunity to seek refuge with a fake man. An official and a part-time job, right?"
"Lord Tu," Kong Sizhen seemed to know Tu Hai's thoughts, "Fu Honglie was completely devoted to the Qing Dynasty and the imperial court at that time, and he had absolutely no second thoughts!"
Is that really stupid?
Tu Hai stroked his beard, looked at Kong Sizhen, then at Sun Yanling, and finally looked at "Fool Fu" and said: "Since Princess said so, then you should go to Guangzhou! But Guangzhou is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. I don’t feel at ease if you go to the official office alone, why not do this... Zhou Peigong!"
"The humble position is here!"
A middle-aged man in his forties came out. This middle-aged man is wearing a blue mandarin jacket and a gold-topped hat with Yangwen patterns on his head. He should be a ninth-grade official, no matter how young. However, his appearance is quite good, with a thin face, bright eyes, and piercing spirit. Although he is only a ninth-level official next to Tu Hai, he does not look like a slave attached to a wealthy family.
This young man's name is Zhou Chang, also known as Peigong. He is from Jingmen, Hubei Province. He was originally a small official in a prefecture or county. Later, he found some way to curry favor with Tu Hai, who led troops to encircle and suppress Hao Waiqi in Huguang, and became Tu Hai's leader. Master, I also secured a ninth-grade Sesame Officer.
Tu Hai pointed at Zhou Chang and said to Fu Honglie with a smile: "Fu Honglie, this is Zhou Chang, my confidant. He is also a scholar and can write a few articles. Let him sneak into Guangzhou City with you! "
...
"Supervising the country, Your Majesty, the Military Advisor's office received a detailed report yesterday. Tu Hai, the Ningnan Jingkou general from Jianyi, has arrived in Shaozhou Fucheng, along with eight hundred and eight banner soldiers and hundreds of coated slaves."
Guangzhou, Supervisory Office, in the Nine Rooms Hall, Yang Qilong, the deputy military advisor on the right, is reporting the latest intelligence to King Zhu Tianwang and Zhu Hejiye.
With the arrival of King Zhu Tian, the Jieyang court of the Ming Dynasty became the Guangzhou court. In a Guangzhou court, there are two long lives... one is the prisoner's long live, and the other is the saint's long live!
Now that the two long-lived emperors are "governed together", there are two dragon chairs side by side in the court hall, with King Zhu Tian sitting on one and Zhu Heji sitting on the other.
It looks a bit awkward, but the father and son look very happy... It's good to have two long lives. It's easy to discuss anything, and Zhu Heji has the same biological father, and King Zhu Tian now only has one son. Since If they are each other's "only", then there is nothing to fight for, what's yours is mine!
Of course, this parallelism of 20,000 years was also the decision of the original Confucian scholar conference!
"Haha, eight hundred Eight Banners soldiers have finally arrived!" Zhu Heji, the long live saint, laughed after hearing this. "This is a good thing... The lie that the Eight Banners' heavenly soldiers are invincible should be broken in these eight banners." It’s on hundreds of people.”
Long live King Zhu Tian, stroking his five-locked beard, said: "Son, this time you will sit down in Guangzhou, and my father will lead your fourth uncle Sai Zhang Fei to send out troops to meet the eight hundred and eighty-banner soldiers!"
Emperor Chongzhen is so happy. He has been dead for so many years and yet he is so happy to have a son again!
A few months ago, King Zhu Tian had betrothed to Wu Sanwei, the champion of martial arts who was captured by him... Now King Zhu Tian has his second brother Mr. Yu above him, his fourth brother Sai Zhang Fei below him, and A dead eldest brother Su Dadu. Su Dadu, Su Li, Mr. Yu, as well as Sai, Zhang Fei and Wu Sanwei are all descendants of Emperor Chongzhen. What a big family!
