Zhu Qiyu left Qingyun Pavilion and did not go home immediately. Instead, he sat in the viewing pavilion by Jinghu Lake, thinking alone.
This mirror lake is particularly suitable for Zhu Qiyu's liking. The lake is crystal clear, with fish swimming around and the shadows of mountains and pavilions reflected on the surface of the lake.
Sitting in the pavilion, admiring the scenery of the lake and mountains, Zhu Qiyu quickly calmed down.
The next two or three months, it was so chaotic. There are the examinations, the palace examinations, and the welcoming of the Supreme Emperor into the capital, and then his beloved concubines will give birth one after another.
You still have to be careful, careful, and more careful. Be careful when sailing the ship of ten thousand years, and don't be careless and lose Jingzhou. One misstep will cause eternal regret.
So Zhu Qiyu chose to do nothing on the issue of welcoming the emperor back. The situation has been laid out long ago. Now we just wait and see and let the situation develop.
Wait until the situation becomes clear before reacting passively.
Although it is not refreshing enough to act like this, it is better than being safe.
When you are at a disadvantage, you have to make dangerous moves and seize chestnuts from the fire. When you are at an advantage, you must take steps and fight steadily.
Therefore, Wang Ji and Chen Mao should also remain on the sidelines for the time being. Let's first take a look at what these generals who are highly used by Zhu Qizhen will do.
Apart from the welcoming ceremony and the imperial examination, the most important thing right now is to clean up the mess in Shanxi. At this time, Xuanfu had already carried out preliminary cleaning. Liu Zhongfu, the Minister of Household Affairs and the governor of Shanxi, had moved from Xuanfu to Datong and started the purge of Datong.
Zhu Qiyu sat by the lake and thought for a long time, and decided that he still could not let the Xuanfu go. He wanted to promote Li Bing to the governor of the Xuanfu and conduct another round of thorough cleaning of the Xuanfu.
After thinking about miscellaneous political affairs for a long time, Zhu Qiyu began to think about the policy questions of the general examination.
The general examination also tests both stereotyped writing and policy theory.
The examiners from the Ministry of Rites recognized the Eight-legged Composition, but Zhu Qiyu only recognized the Policy Theory.
From the policy discussions, we can see more things, and Zhu Qiyu is in urgent need of talents.
But one happy thing is that Zhu Qiyu saw Gao Yao's name from the list of candidates who participated in the examination.
Who is Gao Yao? Gao Yao is not conspicuous to others, but to Zhu Qiyu, it is of great significance.
In history, this is the only person who complained for Jing Tai.
And it was definitely not a casual complaint, but a direct complaint to Chenghua, asking for an additional temple name for Jingtai. Immediately afterwards, he was impeached by the Yanguan and asked to be punished with death.
Gao Yao is putting his head on his waist to seek justice for Jingtai.
So every time Zhu Qiyu felt that the ministers were extremely cold, he would think of Gao Yao. As big as the world is, there are still some national scholars after all.
Although Chenghua did not adopt Gao Yao's words, he was still moved and finally restored the imperial title for Jingtai.
As for Yu Da Shaobao, who is famous and has been famous forever, I don't know how he treats others. Anyway, for Jingtai, Yu Qian is definitely not among the loyal ministers.
After Zhu Qizhen seized the throne and returned to the throne, hundreds of officials paid homage to him, but Yu Qian followed without hesitation and knelt down and kowtowed, shouting "long live the mountain". If I objected, I didn’t say even a word.
Therefore, for Zhu Qiyu, the idea of selecting confidants based on their reputation was blocked. In my own era, there was no Qi Jiguang or Zhang Shenwu.
After sitting by the lake for a long time, Zhu Qiyu returned home leisurely.
Entering the room, Zhu Qiyu was a little dumbfounded when he looked inside and outside. Ningxiang was the only one in the room, and no one else was there.
Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "Where are the people?"
Ningxiang smiled and said: "Didn't all the pregnant sisters move to the new garden to the east to rest? Qianxue and Suxi were both menstrual and moved there.
Now there are just the two of us here. Come on, husband, I will wait for you to try on your clothes. The prince's clothing, which was previously made by the needlework bureau, has been completed. "
Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "Then it's not a world for two anymore. How many times should we do it tonight?"
While Ningxiang served Zhu Qiyu to try on the prince's clothes, she smiled and said: "Let's not do it. In a few days, we will have to perform adult ceremonies for Qianxue and Suxi. Husband, please recharge your batteries in these few days. .
We stewed venison, and my husband ate a few more pieces later. "
Zhu Qiyu nodded helplessly: "Okay, I can see it. I'm your forbidden wife now. It's up to you to arrange it as you please. I just have to be obedient.
It's just that the prince's clothes are so fancy. As you know, I don't like these complicated patterns. "
Ningxiang smiled and explained: "There is nothing we can do. On the day of welcoming the Supreme Emperor, there will be not only civil and military officials, but also many people in the capital.
Therefore, standard princely clothes must be made for the husband, so that the common people can see at a glance that the husband still considers himself a prince and presents the jade seal to invite the emperor to return to the throne.
Only in this way can we show respect between brothers and sisters, and show humility and courtesy. "
Zhu Qiyu nodded and smiled bitterly: "That's the reason, that's the reason, then so be it. The clothes still fit. Anyway, they are only used once, so there is no need to try them again.
You'd better take off my coat quickly and let's go take a shower. "
…
No words for several days.
On February 15th, it is the Flower Festival.
Zhu Qiyu performed a grand coming-of-age ceremony for his two beloved concubines Qianxue and Suxi. The process cannot be described in detail.
At this point, all fifteen beloved concubines have become one with Zhu Qiyu.
Before Zhu Qizhen returned to Beijing, Zhu Qiyu completely stabilized his backyard.
At the same time, in Beijing, the examination of the Ministry of Rites was held as scheduled in the Gongyuan.
As the first joint trial of the Jingtai Dynasty, the new Dynasty should have a new atmosphere.
The candidates discovered that, in addition to the fact that Gongyuan was newly built, the examiner was also fresh enough.
According to the rules of the imperial examination, the examiner of the general examination must be counted as the tutor of all candidates who are listed.
Huang Pu looked okay, he was already around forty after all.
He Yi looked so out of place. Not to mention the older candidates, even young candidates like Wang Yue and Gao Yao frowned.
Wang Yue is only twenty-five years old this year and originally thought he was young enough. As a result, my examiner, who was about to become my tutor, turned out to be one year younger than me.
This feeling is as weird as grandma's house.
However, most people have no objections to this, not only verbally but also in their hearts.
After all, everyone has been in the capital for many days and has a general understanding of the current situation in the court.
If you pay a little attention to the situation of the next court, you will know that He Yi, the bachelor of Youchunfang, is the most popular person around the new king. In just one year, he has risen like flying. His future is unlimited, ranking among the Zaifu, it's only a matter of time.
Under such circumstances, everyone hopes that their tutor will be as young as possible. Because the younger you are, the longer you will be in power in the future. These disciples will be able to gain more brilliance with their master.
Huang Pu and He Yi felt extremely grateful to Zhu Qiyu. I can honestly say that if the emperor does this, he is almost as good as a national scholar.
If someone treats me as a national scholar, I should repay him as a national scholar.
The examination went smoothly, and the previous exams were uneventful.
Until the final policy discussion, this is the main topic of this conference.
Zhu Qiyu personally gave three more strategies, each one more tricky than the last, which made it very difficult for the candidates this time.
