Chapter 16 Zhang Juzheng is going to be the chief examiner of Spring Festival

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Ju agreed and turned around and went out to invite Zhang Juzheng.

Not long after, Zhang Juzheng walked in from outside.

When he saw the emperor, Zhang Juzheng bowed and said, "My minister Zhang Juzheng, please see Your Majesty."

"Mr. Zhang, no rituals." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "I have said a long time ago that you don't have to do this in private. If you can, these etiquettes will be exempted."

"There is a difference between the king and the minister, and the courtesy cannot be abolished." Zhang Juzheng said respectfully: "How is Your Majesty's body?"

"It's already great." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Now you eat well, sleep soundly, and don't have nightmares at night. The imperial doctor has also taken his pulse, and nothing is wrong. It makes the gentleman worry."

"That's good." Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "Since Your Majesty is not seriously injured, then you will resume your studies in a few days."

Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile: "Full follow the arrangements of Mr.."

After Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, he followed the advice of Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the cabinet, and went to Wenhua Hall every day when the sun first appeared to listen to the scholars' lectures and reading scriptures.

Then take a moment, return to the lecture, and read the history books again; when lunch is over, you will return to the palace.

Only on the day of the three, six and nine festivals every month will I temporarily avoid reading. In addition, even the middle of winter and the hottest summer will never stop.

In Zhu Yijun's view, this was a torture.

But for time traveler Zhu Yijun, what's this?

Just half a day of schoolwork, what's the big deal?

When I was in elementary school, I had to go until four o'clock in the afternoon. When I went to junior high school, I was stuffed into various Olympiad mathematics, science, and Chinese competition classes by my class teacher. I went until 9 o'clock in the evening every day and studied all day.

Besides, in Zhu Yijun's memory, Zhang Juzheng was very nice to him. In order to increase the fun of the lectures and make the young emperor like to listen, Zhang Juzheng would personally make textbooks when he was telling history. To put it bluntly, he could draw villain books, which looked like villain books in later generations.

Zhu Yijun even felt that the Little Man Book might have originated here.

But even so, his predecessor was still dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng. After all, when facing the pressure from Empress Dowager Li, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, a child with an immature mind or a boy in the rebellious period was prone to psychological problems. In the original history, Emperor Wanli was also a famous mean and ungrateful emperor.

Seeing that Zhu Yijun agreed happily, Zhang Juzheng stroked his beard, looked relieved, nodded and said, "It's so good, so let's decide in three days."

"No, no, no," Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "I already feel that I am in good health. Let's start tomorrow. I can't delay studying. I haven't studied for several days and have not received my teacher's teachings. I feel uncomfortable all over now."

Zhang Juzheng looked at Zhu Yijun's thirsty look and said with a smile: "It's so good!"

"Since Your Majesty has nothing to do, I will feel at ease." Zhang Juzheng stood up at this time and said respectfully: "There are still some things in the cabinet, so I will take them back."

"Okay." Zhu Yijun smiled and nodded, "I'm sending Mr. Zhang to see him."

After saying that, Zhu Yijun stood up and sent Zhang Juzheng out.

After Zhang Juzheng left, Zhu Yijun's face became serious.

After standing there for a while, Zhu Yijun turned around and walked out.

.

Just after returning to the hall, Chen Ju came to Zhu Yijun and said, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Zhang Hong is here."

"Let him come in." Zhu Yijun nodded and said.

Not long after, Zhang Hong walked in from outside.

Zhang Hong held a question book in his hand and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is just sent by the cabinet. It is about the matter of the chief examiner of this spring exam. Please check it out."

Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Hong and said nothing.

Chen Ju brought up the question book.

Zhu Yijun took the question book, looked around, and understood what was going on.

It doesn't matter who this question is, and Zhu Yijun didn't pay attention to it. He was a tool person.

According to the procedures of the Ming Dynasty, the ministers submitted the title book, which was drafted by the cabinet, and finally the official rituals and supervisors approved the prize.

To put it bluntly, the minister raised the problem, the cabinet gave a solution, and the Sili Supervisor finally made a decision.

Once the approval of the dividend is passed, this is a formal imperial edict. According to later generations, this will form a formal document and can be distributed throughout the country.

Of course, the power of Silijian to criticize the emperor is the emperor.

If the emperor thinks that your method is not good, he will write the question book back and ask the cabinet to re-develop a solution.

If the emperor does not want to solve the problem raised by his ministers, he will leave the question book to the end and not post it.

The reason why Zhang Juzheng did his best to cooperate with Feng Bao was because Feng Bao held the power to criticize the winner in his hand.

Zhang Juzheng came up with an idea and Feng Bao stamped it.

Any idea that Zhang Juzheng came up with and Feng Bao stamped it unconditionally. What is the result?

The result was that Zhang Juzheng just wrote his ideas into a question book and sent them in. He wrote down his ideas and finally sent them to Feng Bao. After a series of processes were completed, this was the imperial edict.

To a certain extent, the documents written by Zhang Juzheng are imperial edicts.

Now that Feng Bao is dead, this sequelae has emerged.

Zhang Hong is a very decent eunuch, so when he encounters something wrong, he comes to the emperor; if the emperor doesn't know what to do, Zhang Hong will go to the empress dowager.

This is actually what Zhang Juzheng is most worried about. The situation he is most worried about is happening now.

But this is what Zhu Yijun hopes to happen most.

Just after I opened the question book and took a look, Zhu Yijun knew why Zhang Hong sent it here.

Because the content of this question book is very simple, I hope that Zhang Juzheng can serve as the examiner of the imperial examination.

Everyone knows that being an examiner is not just an examiner, it is an opportunity to recruit students to cultivate their confidants.

This time, Zhang Juzheng is going to be the chief examiner himself.

Thinking of the last time his eldest son failed the exam, and when he recalled that his second son was going to participate in the imperial examination this time, Zhu Yijun thought that something was wrong here.

After looking at Zhang Hong, Zhu Yijun knew that the old eunuch had also smelled something inappropriate.

After all, the imperial examination in the second year of Wanli was a hot topic. The examiner of that year was Lu Tiaoyang, and Hai Rui really made the imperial examination famous that year.

Hai Rui, who has been at home for many years, wrote a letter to Lu Diaoyang:

"This spring, the public should try the world. I understand that the public should be fair and self-controlled, and will not favor Taiyue for personal gain (Zhang Juzheng named Taiyue); I think Taiyue should also be fair and self-controlled, and will not be fair and self-controlled. Only Gongliang!"

I don’t know how effective this letter has, but Zhang Juzheng’s eldest son Jing Xiu has been eliminated.

Another thing is very interesting. In the second year of Wanli, there was no museum selection, but no Shujishi was selected, which cut off all the cabinet paths for candidates who did not enter the First Class I imperial examination.

Zhang Hong also knew about this matter. Two days ago, he asked him to check whether Zhang Juzheng's son was going to participate in the spring examination; and it was confirmed that Zhang Juzheng's second son would participate in this spring examination.
