Weeds are everywhere and are called wilderness.
When wild animals and humans pass by, it becomes a trail. The more people and beasts walk on it, the more it becomes a road.
The road was excavated, re-paved and leveled layer by layer, and then stations were built on both sides at a specified distance between mountains and rivers, and the official road appeared.
On the official road of Zhejiang Road, contact Yingtian Mansion in Zhili.
A group of several riders, before the sky was still dark, put on the well-fed horses from Longtan Station on the riverside, and rushed towards Yingtian City sixty miles away.
At the same time, on the river at the northwest corner of Qixia Mountain, a huge fleet consisting of twenty large and small ships was slowly moving up the river, pressing against the heavy waterline.
The huge sail was fluttering in the wind, and it was bulging. Equally huge rows of poles stretch out under the decks on both sides. These poles can be used to slap enemy ships close to the big ship, and can also be used to provide parallel force to the big ship.
Surrounding the entire fleet, there are countless river boats, constantly swimming back and forth around the fleet, providing the fleet with the latest waterway information, and driving away merchant ships and fishing boats that come and go from north to south.
Two different groups of people walked in unison from east to west, facing the capital of the Central Plains Empire.
The scorching sun rises from the bottom of the sea, crossing the sea level and the horizon, shining golden sunlight on the earth.
The backs of the cavalry and the outline of the fleet were clearly reflected on the earth and the river.
"Today, you can go to Jilong Mountain to bask in the sun and drink tea."
In the Qianbu Corridor, Zhan Hui, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, proposed to Ru Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of War, about the entertainment time after today's morning court.
Ru Yu tilted her head, stared at Zhan Hui with some uncertainty, and said silently: "Since the results were released a few days ago, and the fraud and the incident on Lion Rock happened, something is very wrong with Zhan Shangshu."
Zhan Hui leaned back, put the wat board in his belt, and patted his cheeks with both hands: "Is something wrong?"
Ru Yu nodded: "In the past, Zhan Shangshu would not do such frivolous behavior."
Zhan Hui was stunned for a moment, and then he whispered: "The old hens raised by my wife have been unable to lay eggs. They finally started laying eggs in the past few days. I am happy."
Ru Yu curled her lips and looked back at the ministers, ministers, etc. who were following these six ministers.
Ru Yu said softly: "If you want to say you are happy, I'm afraid you have to look at Ren Guyong and Yu Dunben."
When Zhan Hui heard this, he looked back blankly.
Among the six ministers, they were Ren Hengtai, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Yu Xin, the right minister of the household ministry.
Seeing that the two of them were just holding the wat board and silently following the procession into the palace to go to court, Zhan Hui nodded: "Ren Hengtai may be able to fulfill the dream of the minister this time. As for Yu Xin, it's hard to say..."
Ru Yun paused for a moment and expressed different opinions: "It is a certainty that Hengtai will be in charge of the Ministry of Ceremonies. In the first half of Yu Xin's year, the kings came to the capital, and the advice was always to reduce their salary by 80%. His Majesty was extremely happy at that time. Accepted. Now that Zhao Mian is sick at home, I'm afraid it won't be long before he will submit a memorial to beg for his body."
Zhan Huize turned around again and looked at Yu Xin, the right servant of the Ministry of Finance, among the crowd.
Yu Xin was a Jinshi in the 21st year of Hongwu. He had extraordinary knowledge, majestic appearance, and loud voice. He could be described as a dignified appearance. He was given the name Xin by His Majesty at that time.

【The direct son of the Ming Dynasty】【】
Later, he successively served as the secretary of Zhongshu, the lecturer of Hanlin, the head of the household branch, and the doctor of Beiping. When the kings came to this year, they reported to the court that they should reduce the clan's salary. The clan's salary was reduced by 80%, and Zhu Yuanzhang promoted him to the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
In four years, it was rare to go from being a new scholar to the position of Right Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, even going to court several times.
However, Zhan Hui shook his head again: "He is doing something about attracting investment in China and France, and the grandson is quite unhappy."
"Open the middle method?" Ru Yu frowned immediately and whispered: "But you need to exchange salt and merchants for grain, grass and military supplies in Jiubian?"
Zhan Hui lowered his eyes and nodded silently.
Rujun withdrew her gaze, hugged the wat board, and sighed: "Treating the symptoms but not the root cause will lead to endless troubles."
After chanting, the two ministers continued to enter the palace side by side.
…
At the main hall, although Zhu Yuanzhang came here with the prince as usual, he did not enter the school. Finally, the main hall was exchanged for real teachers like Fang Xiaoru.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a sense of enjoyment on his face as he listened to the sound of the princes and grandsons reading aloud from the school behind him.
Just looking at the prince next to him, he whispered: "Will Lion Rock's subsequent methods leave any future troubles?"
Zhu Biao stood firm and said: "The imperial court's decree of commendation has been read out in the court, and it has been sent to various places in a hurry. Along with it is the imperial court's decree to supervise the construction of merit arches. The imperial court has given enough names and has not leaked it. They should be content with just a little bit of news.”
The prince's tone was always so calm, but it made people dare not have the slightest desire to resist.
Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his hands with satisfaction: "They take the name, and my family takes the reality. Everyone gets what they need. If you are not satisfied, don't even ask for the name."
Zhu Biao nodded: "That's how it should be."
A burst of chuckles came from the mouths of the father and son, like two real dragons using the world as their chessboard, with wisdom in their eyes.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and looked at the Shenlie Mountain not far away. The outline of the top of the mountain exuded a red light.
He said softly: "The officials should have entered the palace now."
"It's past the Meridian Gate."
Zhu Yuanzhang added: "Your son wants to lead the army on an expedition. What do you, my father, think?"
Zhu Biao looked at the old man, sighed silently, leaned his cane on his waist, bowed with his hands clasped in fists and said: "The Founding Duke is the commander-in-chief, and the Marquis of Xiping is the flanking army. We will advance in three directions, with only one more soldier on the left and right."
Zhu Yuanzhang said oh and stared at the prince in front of him with a smile.
"You want your son, the grandson of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to serve as a soldier in the army?" Zhu Yuanzhang said quietly.
Zhu Biao replied in a deep voice: "I grew up in a deep palace since I was a child. I didn't learn martial arts when I was young. I practiced martial arts when I first grew up, but it was nothing more than talking about military affairs on paper. If you let him lead the army, it may cause a slight defeat for the army. Only from the bottom up. , obtain military exploits and perform extraordinary feats, just like my path as a meritorious general in the Ming Dynasty, only then can we have a solid foundation."
Zhu Yuanzhang shrank his eyes and said solemnly: "You are not afraid that your son will die on the battlefield!"
However, Zhu Biao still looked solemn and said: "The son of a military household can die. The son of a small banner, a general banner, a hundred households, or a thousand households can die. The son of a meritorious general can die. A general who leads the army can die. He just has a different background, so he will die." Can’t die?”

【The direct son of the Ming Dynasty】【】
Zhu Biao, who lowered his head, knew very well how much the old man valued that bastard of his, and placed his hopes on the Ming Dynasty for the next hundred years.
But he still chose to use the most stringent requirements to arrange for that bastard.
Come to think of it, the old man is going to start scolding now.
"Hahaha……"
However, the old man let out a burst of laughter, and even the sound of reading in the otherwise bustling school stopped for a moment.
I saw Zhu Yuanzhang put his hand on his waist and pointed at the prince with the other hand: "This is what you said as an old man. If you turn around and get hurt, don't blame me."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his back and took steps.
I actually fell into the old man’s trick!
Zhu Biao's face was full of helplessness. Unexpectedly, the old man had already planned to agree to that bastard to go out with the army.
He immediately said: "Where are you going, father?"
Zhu Yuanzhang did not look back, he just walked outside the main hall, and his voice came softly: "We want to support your son."
…
On the steps under the throne of Zhongji Hall, Zhu Yunxi sat in an armchair without any decoration, holding his waist.
That bastard Zhu Huang’s head is really getting stronger and stronger!
Secretly cursing Uncle Twenty-Third's iron head skills, Zhu Yunxi twitched the corners of his mouth and leaned back on the chair, looking calmly at the officials in the hall.
Complete a set of etiquette procedures before the meeting.
Wait until Sun Gou'er calls out if anyone wants to cause trouble.
At that time, there were several censors and officials holding wat tablets and leaving the office with memorials.
"I have something to report."
Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Yes."
"I am impeaching Liu Sanwu, a member of Zhongshushe, the chief examiner of the Jinke Examination, who formed a clique for personal gain, leaked questions before the exam, ran a top-down operation, and cheated on the exam. From Liu Sanwu down, the deputy examiner of the Jinke Examination, the eighteenth room co-examiner, and the marking officer , readers, transcribers, and Gongyuan officials were all involved.
There are also a total of 666 candidates who have been successful in the Jinke Examination. They may have discovered fraud but concealed it, knowingly violated the law, desecrated the law, insulted the saints, and pretended to be the disciples of the saints. "
"I advise you that the prisoner of the country should be punished according to the law, and those involved in the examination fraud should be thoroughly investigated and caught. Anyone involved should be severely punished and make it known to the world, so as to rectify people's hearts and rectify the country's laws. !”
These people were the censors and officials who wrote the impeachment memorial on the tower of Confucius Temple a few days ago.
And with the departure of these people, they were impeached.
Immediately afterwards, more censors and officials walked out of the train and stood in the main hall one by one holding wat boards.
"I second the proposal."
Zhan Hui, who was standing at the front of the civil service train, looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
It was Liu Sanwu and others who had more old friends in the court, or the more than 600 ministers who had more reliance in the court.
Or is it that the more than 6,000 people who were admitted in the current examination but did not pass the examination have many mentors, elders, and family friends in the court?
Compared with the benefits of the imperial examination of more than 600 people, compared with the benefits of the imperial examination of more than 6,000 people, it is an easy question to calculate.
Facing such a vigorous wave of impeachment in the court, the officials who were originally prepared to plead for Liu Sanwu or the more than 600 people could only suppress the worries in their chests, hold the wat board, lower their heads, and stand. In his own court position.

【The direct son of the Ming Dynasty】【】
Zhu Yunxi also watched this scene calmly.
After the commotion in the court gradually subsided, he spoke: "The talent selection ceremony of the country is a matter of the country, and there must be no fraud or illegality. However, the court must also pay attention to evidence. Wouldn’t wrong a good man.”
We will not wrongly accuse good people, but we will never protect anyone who breaks the law!
Zhan Hui immediately left the office: "Report to the Supervisory State that there is fraud in the current examination. It is currently under the supervision of the Jin Yiwei. As soon as the crime is proved, the Jin Yiwei will present it to the court to set the record straight."
Zhu Yunxi nodded and called softly: "Jin Yiwei."
The commander of the Jinyiwei, Jiang Yu, who was mixed with the generals, immediately left his duty.
"Reporting to the Supervisor, Jin Yiwei has found out that there was indeed fraud in the current examination. Jin Yiwei interrogated the examiners separately and selected the candidates who were successful in the examination. They obtained nearly a thousand transcripts, all of which point to fraud in the current examination. thing."
Before anyone could jump out and accuse Jin Yiwei of not having the right to interrogate, the words of one family were enough to obscure the view of the court.
Jiang Wei then said: "Jin Yiwei, together with the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple, will re-interrogate those involved in the case and extract testimonies for verification. They are all correct."
As soon as this statement came out, hundreds of officials in the court looked at him with suspicion.
Let me ask you, when did the Jin Yiwei, who used to be domineering and domineering in the past, actually join forces with the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple to carry out a crime?
However, officials from three yamen were immediately on duty.
"What Commander Chiang said is true."
"The Ministry of Punishment has verified it."
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate has verified it."
"Dali Temple has verified it."
Zhu Yunxi hummed twice and said as if he was not bored: "Yi Lv, how should we make a decision on this matter?"
"Fraud in the imperial examination is a serious crime. Officials and officials who commit crimes will be punished by the three tribes of Yi, and they will be expelled from the nine tribes. Candidates who are involved in corruption should be killed, and they will be expelled from the three tribes, and the nine tribes will never be able to take the exam."
Don't wait for the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple, which have private explanations, to speak.
As the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Jiang Yu had already spoken gloomily.
The Yi tribe, beheaded and exiled, will never be allowed to take the exam.
Punishments one after another popped out of Jiang Wei's mouth, like a bell and a bell, vibrating in the Zhongji Hall, striking the hearts, lungs and five internal organs of all civil and military officials.
Finally, an official who had not dared to plead for mercy came out.
"I am here to supervise the country. The laws of the country are clear and those who break the law cannot be tolerated by nature. However, if the law is so strict, the blood of millions of people will flow into rivers and their heads will fall to the ground. The crimes committed by people today will affect the descendants of all generations, which is unbenevolent and righteous. Minister, please wait. The prisoner should think twice before violating the national law and punish those who violate the law."
Jiang Wei snorted coldly: "Your Majesty decided in the past that officials who corrupted more than sixty taels of ink would be skinned and stuffed with grass. Fraud in the imperial examination is a crime of great treason, and not being severely punished is not enough to deter. When I ask to supervise the country, the crime should be dealt with severely. , severely punished!"
All the officials were dumbfounded when they saw that Jiang Gu actually displayed His Majesty's red line of sixty taels.
However, it was at this time.
I saw that Xie Jin, who was able to participate in the early dynasty because he had the title of Wenhua Palace, walked out in full view of everyone.
"I report to the prisoner of the country. The offenders are the people supported by the imperial court, and their crimes should be judged according to the law. However, people who are taking exams have spent decades working hard on sage articles. Once they are about to make a mistake, the court is benevolent and righteous. They should be given the opportunity to repent. .”

【The direct son of the Ming Dynasty】【】
He, Jie Jin, actually interceded for the people involved in the Jinke University Examination?
For a moment, if they had not witnessed Xie Jin begging for mercy with their own eyes, all the officials would not have believed that this man who single-handedly promoted the spread of the spiritual knowledge of the unity of knowledge and action would act like this.
Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Yes."
Immediately, he stood up.
"Order."
This is when the Supervisory State begins to exercise its power, and all the officials in the court are in order.
"The evidence of fraud in the Enke Examination in the 25th year of Hongwu's reign is conclusive. According to the order, the officials involved in the scandal, the three tribes of the Yi tribe, the nine tribes of the Liu tribe, and their family property were confiscated."
"The imperial court has a benevolent and righteous heart to make people return to their old ways. It is decreed that people who are involved in corruption and three tribes must be exiled to Zhennanguan, Guangxi Road. Those who are involved in gambling are deprived of their honors and honors, banned from taking exams for life, and serve as Zhennanguan Army Died. People from the three tribes gathered in the military camp at Nanguan."
"I will take your orders."
Liu Sanwu and others were hopeless. They were still members of the Yi Tribe. They were exiled to the Nine Tribes and had their property confiscated.
With the emperor's sixty-tael red line, they were lucky that the nine clans were not implicated in such treasonous crimes as fraud in the imperial examinations.
The civil servants involved in the scandal were not executed, but were banned from taking exams for life. They were exiled to Guangxi Road as military soldiers, and their families were stationed in the army. In the end, their lives were saved, and their descendants could continue to study for the imperial examinations. There was no doubt that they would be able to return to their homeland one day.
The officials who went out to impeach today were satisfied that they did not leave any political opponents in the court.
Those who stood up to plead for mercy also felt that they had done a great thing by saving the lives of many people.
Both parties were satisfied in this tacit understanding.
Then, all the officials from both sides looked at Zhu Yunxi on the steps.
Zhu Yunxi smiled silently. He knew very well what these people wanted.
"It is decreed that the left minister of the Ministry of Rites should appoint Hengtai to be promoted to the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the examination will be held again on a certain date to select talents for the country."
Minister!
The minister is here!
We are finally a minister!
Ren Hengtai, who had been a melon eater for a few months, his heart was beating wildly. He had been looking forward to this long-awaited words for countless days and nights.
When he left work, he knelt down and worshiped on the ground.
"I accept the order from Hengtai and thank you for your kindness!"
After Ren Hengtai, all the officials bowed neatly and exited.
"The governor of the country is benevolent, educates the people, selects talents for the country, and contributes to the country."
