Although it is easy for people to be in the middle of the situation and not know the situation.
But it obviously does not include smart people like Li Dongyang and Xie Qian.
The Great Court Meeting had just ended three days ago, and among the seven topics of the Great Court Meeting, the only ones that fell into their hands were cutting expenditures and increasing the number of Encores. For these two matters, the emperor would only summon the ministers once at most to hear a briefing on the situation.
They were happy when Liu Jian was promoted to governor under special circumstances at first, but what happened later was different. Liu Jian himself even returned to Shandong a day early.
Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet.
"I have been in the capital for so many years, and now I suddenly can't remember what many places look like."
It was a coincidence that the two of them went out separately, then bumped into each other, and then they even rode in the same carriage.
Li Dongyang responded, "Yes, if we come back ten years later, we probably won't know the road anymore."
Nowadays, many new things have been added, which the two old schools of thought cannot understand.
The entrance to the academy is full of young figures,
A voice shouted:
"Twelve Lang! Wait for us!"
Han Twelve Lang, who has gradually grown taller, has a stronger body and is somewhat handsome. He is wearing a blue shirt and has a lion's head on his head. His whole person is particularly sunny and capable, like a big energetic child. "Hurry up. If you go late, you won't be able to see the excitement in Big Head."
"Here he comes, he comes." A young man who was as tall as him came over quickly, with an excited look on his face, "Yu Datou is used to bullying others, but this time the court arrests him, he still calls for him I reported it, it’s true that evil people will be punished.”
Children are the most jealous of evil, so these days have been really exciting!
Han Twelve Lang also goes to work to earn some money, so he sees a lot. When it comes to reporting, it was him who reported it.
Mr. Xie Ge opened the door curtain and saw the scene of young men dancing happily. These children support the emperor so much that they will become the emperor's generals in the future. When a generation of young people rises up, a generation of old people have to step down. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter come again and again, unchanged from time immemorial.
"What did Yu Qiao want to say?"
"Maybe we are really old."
Li Dongyang said with a smile: "We are already old. But old people should not lament like this. Martyrs are full of ambition in their old age. Besides, you still have that child."
"...Is it snowing?" Xie Qian thought he had made a mistake, so he stretched out his hand and actually caught a big snowflake.
The weather in March suddenly started snowing.
Li Dongyang frowned and said, "There is something strange happening in the sky. We have to remind His Majesty that there may be a major disaster this year."
"There is still room to strengthen food storage. I just hope the people can suffer less..."
"Let's go back. Although the matters entrusted to us now are not big, governing the world means that one thing affects the whole body, so we still need to deal with those government affairs."
"good."
…
…
On March 11, Yang Yiqing and others also left Beijing and returned to the north.
The important governors from various places have almost left.
Zhu Houzhao was also wondering whether a period of peace and joy was about to come. After all, he had already arranged many things.
During this time, he could also enjoy the tranquility of spring.
According to his preferences, the palace built him a variety of recliners, which will soon be turned into a recliner exhibition. Available in different seasons, different heights, and curvatures.
Because he was originally a layman, but now he has reached the highest level of lying. At the same time, soaking in the sunshine, picking up a few books, enjoying the fresh fragrance of flowers, and beautiful skin, isn’t this better than going out of the palace to encounter bad luck?
After a few days, Zhu Houzhao still felt uncomfortable, so he left the palace once, only to be asked to deal with a few social gangsters as the emperor.
It's better now. When he is studying, Huaixiao and Huaiyan can squeeze their shoulders and beat their legs.
At a certain moment, the emperor closed the book, rubbed his eyes, and ordered: "Go and call the four people in the attendant's room."
"yes."
When the people were almost there, Zhu Houzhao pushed himself up and sat up a little: "I have a lot of free time today. As for you, you don't have so many things to do, right?"
"To answer your Majesty, the court meeting has just ended, and things have just been handed down, and most of them haven't had time to give feedback." Jin Gui replied calmly.
"Well, then you can accompany me and write a few poems for me to listen to. I will come up with the questions."
These four people are all talented people, so they are naturally not afraid of writing poetry. Not only are they not afraid, they even feel that it is time to express themselves.
"Your Majesty, please."
Zhu Houzhao is also arty. The ancients loved this entertainment, so he gave it a try, "You are all young people who have passed the imperial examination and have unlimited glory. The so-called spring breeze is so proud that horseshoe disease can cause you to see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day. If the theme of 'advancing' is used, you may have been long gone." I have written it before, so I want you to write poems on the topic of 'Lost'."
The emperor's request was a little strange, but it wasn't a big problem.
Wang Xian raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please limit the rhyme."
"There is no limit to rhyme." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, "There is no need to add those for no reason, you just have to express your talents to the best of your ability."
"Who comes first? Poetry only depends on talent and depth, regardless of official position."
"Your Majesty, I will come first."
Xie Pi was full of energy, and his face was filled with a childish red light.
"good."
I saw him holding his back with one hand, he really looked like an extraordinary young man, chanting, "How many autumn fragrances have entered your family, only a few cold flowers are left in the mud."
Don't be surprised and pity you, but no one... appreciates the flowers. "
Zhu Houzhao nodded, he had the intention, but it lacked touching details and moments.
"It's not easy to open your mouth in such a short time."
Then came Wang Xian. He was not so impatient. He read each sentence slowly, with a longer interval in between. "Ten Kougou Emperor will stay for a long time, and he will be silent for half a year. His hair on his temples is like snow, and his heart is as dead as if he were in Chang'an." Lower class people!"
"The hair on the temples is as white as snow and the heart is as dead as death..." Zhu Houzhao felt that this sentence had a little power. "In the scientific examination room, the white-haired old man and the black-haired boy took the exam together. It is really said that the hair on the temples is like snow and the heart is as dead as death."
Wang Xian said: "Wei Chen dare not deceive Your Majesty. Only the first half of this poem was written by Wei Chen. The second half was written by an old scholar after drinking with him."
"It doesn't matter, just be honest. It seems that this old scholar has given up. Besides him, I don't know how many people have given up... Let's be next."
Yan Song could no longer retreat, "Your Majesty, I have thought about it. Please taste it."
"A snowy old man is cast in the east of the lonely city. His hair is half white and still fluttering. His exaggeration is so exaggerating that he regrets it. He hates it but is not deaf when he listens to it."
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "You are the only one who can write like this."
The so-called blind means a blind person. Although Yan Song did not mention failing in these sentences, if you read and hate that you are not blind, and listen to the scriptures and hate that you are not deaf, then it must be that you have failed the test countless times.
"The humble minister has shown his embarrassment."
"It doesn't matter." The emperor turned to the last person, "Chongsui (Jin Gui's courtesy name), what about you?"
"Reply to Your Majesty, I only have half a sentence."
"A half-sentence is fine, today is not an examination hall."
"Yes." Jin Gui's tone was dull and he read slowly: "Everyone has failed in ten years, and half of the family has become dust."
After reading it, the other three people including the emperor felt a little sad.
Half of the family has become dust.
In other words, after ten years of attending the imperial examination, in fact, everyone in the family has become separated from yin and yang.
Wang Xiandao: "Chongsui's poems are so sad that it makes people feel sad when they read them."
"Just use this sentence." Zhu Houzhao also thought it was well written, "Write it in the imperial edict of Ganke this year."
Jin Gui did not dare to make excuses, "Your Majesty, this is the work of a humble minister... and as I said just now, the meaning of it is too desolate. What if some of the candidates are not allowed to take the exam?"
"It doesn't matter. Suffering will not exist just because you don't talk about it. If someone does give up the scientific examination because of this, they are going to reunite with their families. What's wrong with that?"
After a while, several father-in-laws came over with memorials in their arms. Zhu Houzhao had finished playing and started reviewing the memorials again.
There was usually nothing important going on at this time, he could just take a quick look.
One of them is quite strange. He is the prefect of Guangdong. He reported in his memorial: Your Majesty! Wei Chen reported last time that some villagers here caught a horse-like fish, but that was actually wrong! It was not the people of Ming Dynasty who caught it. They heard it from Hongyi overseas.
Hongyi.
Zhu Houzhao didn't know whether it was Portugal or Spain, but it was probably those people. Since you can hear about things, it means that they are actually nearby.
Without thinking much else, he just said: Got it.
Later, there were memorials and memorials that made him feel a little strange.
Because this was a grievance against Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, it took the stance of admonishing, saying that the emperor did not treat his ministers like tradition, and now these old and important ministers are not reused.
Zhu Houzhao frowned when he saw it, and first ordered: "Take the rest, I will keep this first."
"Yes." Liu Jin lowered his head and replied.
Zhu Houzhao hadn't thought too much yet, but he could feel the offensive flavor in this memorial. It seemed to be admonishing, but in fact it was testing.
It seemed that he wanted to know the emperor's attitude towards the two ministers.
He gently rubbed the surface of the memorial, and slowly began to have concerns in his heart...
