Facing the question of the palace examination, Qian Yuan made his choice after considering it for most of the day, and this move was called "Shooting a Stone Bird".

There are three birds in total.

The first is Xu Wei and Tao Dalin, a regular customer in the garden.

Qian Yuan knew very well that what he wanted to do might not necessarily have to be in a high position or have great power, but he would definitely need a group of like-minded people.

To put it bluntly, when Emperor Jiajing passed away and King Yu ascended the throne, this bird was given to Gao Gong as a letter of fame. Even if Gao Suqing was arrogant, he would not underestimate the group of 15 famous Jinshi in the thirty-five years of Jiajing.

The second bird is Emperor Jiajing.

Qian Yuan didn't want to wait that long. He wanted to test the bottom line of Emperor Jiajing, either launching a maritime ban on trade, or implementing the promulgation method or even a one-whip method. From the current point of view, these two ways are the only way to solve the court's financial crisis.

Which path would Emperor Jiajing be more interested in, or would he have more tolerance for?

The third bird is Xu Jie.

The palace examination has ended for two days. At this time, the focus of the court should have been on selecting officials and selecting Shujishi. The former is the focus of most scholars, while the latter is the focus of those high-ranking Jinshi.

But in fact, the Qian Yuan Palace Examination papers were circulating widely in the court. Some people were scolding, some were praising, some were reading carefully at night, and the lights were not turned off all night. Some were paced back and forth in the study, carefully considering the pros and cons of the gains and losses.

On March 20, the three censors of the Censorate wrote a letter to impeach Qian Yuan and talked about politics, but unfortunately, the Tongzheng Department sent it to the Xiyuan Zhilu. Yan Song, one on the left, said, "The aspiration is praiseworthy", and Xu Jie, the right, said, "The feeling is pitiful."

Tsk, Qian Yuan may be the first to be impeached for a new Jinshi in history, and he has no official position and has three impeachment memorials.

On March 21, Emperor Jiajing summoned important officials to meet at Wanshou Palace.

Emperor Jiajing sat cross-legged on the couch, his face smiling and narrow eyes glanced at Li Mo intentionally or unintentionally.

Regardless of the others, at least Emperor Jiajing, Yan Song and Xu Jie, they all knew it. At least two of the three censors of the Censorate were Li Mo's followers.

For Li Mo, the most important thing is to kill Yan Song, so he wrote a letter to request that next year's Beijing inspection be advanced to this year, and Emperor Jiajing also allowed it.

What Li Mo couldn't stand was that Qian Yuan's future universalization of the formulation of the law and even reforms to taxation, if this became the mainstream opinion of the court or was adopted by Emperor Jiajing, Hu Zongxian's status would be as stable as Mount Tai.

Li Mo could see clearly that the reason why Hu Zongxian blocked the sky in the southeast was because of Yan Song's support, which in turn made sense. It was precisely because Hu Zongxian's stable position in the southeast that Yan Song stood firm.

In other words, in Li Mo's view, killing Hu Zongxian was the key to sinking Yan Song's big ship.

The reason why Li Mo was so strong was that on the one hand, he knew that Emperor Jiajing used himself to check and balance the cabinet. On the other hand, ten days ago, Emperor Jiajing dismissed Hu Zongxian from the governor of Zhejiang and only served as the governor of Zhejiang.

In other words, the question about the introduction of the method of writing in the palace examination was not casually released, and Emperor Jiajing threw out this stone with deep meaning.

After the stone was thrown into the water, Yan Song remained motionless in the ripples, and Xu Jie was silent. Only Li Mo jumped around and caused a big storm.

Today, the gathering of important officials gathered in Wanshou Palace in Xiyuan was because of the just-concluded Tingtui.

What is very surprising is that this time Tingtui's official position was the governor of Zhejiang. Li Mo of the Ministry of Personnel recommended Ruan E, the 23rd year of Jiajing scholar in the 23rd year of Jiajing, who was recommended by the Ministry of Personnel, and neither Yan Song nor Xu Jie recommended the candidate. The scene was extremely awkward at the time. According to common practice, Tingtui needed at least two alternatives.

Li Mo also knew that he was being humiliated, and in the end, the good-hearted cabinet Lu Ben recommended Gao Jie, the right censor of Nanjing, to Cao Jiang.

History is shifting. At this time, Hu Zongxian had not yet taken office. Li Mo joined forces with Xu Jie to fight against Yan Song because of the position of Zhejiang Governor General, and was eventually flattered by Zhao Wenhua.

But now, Hu Zongxian has been in office for nearly half a year. The situation in the southeast is gradually improving from the surface, and Li Mo has also escaped, and the flag has not been broken.

In history, Ruan E was promoted to Zhejiang Governor because he was dependent on Yan Song and Zhao Wenhua, but this time, he chose Li Mo.

"Ruan E is the first, followed by Gao Jie." Emperor Jiajing's laughter was mixed with a hint of coldness. After a while, he was helped by Huang Jin and asked casually: "Weizhong, can't Wu Weixi take on a great task?"

Yan Song showed his political characteristics that he was despised. His old body fell down in the blink of an eye, "The old minister was the saint."

In fact, everyone knows that there is an almost ready-made successor in the position of Zhejiang Governor, that is, Wu Baipeng, who has cooperated with Hu Zongxian for more than a year.

But unfortunately, Wu Baipeng left Beijing after passing the Jinshi and never had any supporters. Whether it was Yan Song, Xu Jie or Li Mo, he was impartial to anyone, and his relationship with Cao Bangfu and Hu Zongxian was also well maintained.

Xu Jie's pupils, who had been half-hung, shrank slightly, and he was a little shocked. After all, he was from the Southeastern family, and there were much more channels for inquiring about information than Yan Song.

Qian Yuan has a wide network of contacts in the southeast, and many civil and military officials have good friendships, but only the paper officials. Wu Baipeng is the one with the deepest friendship.

Xu Jie believed that Qian Yuan had mentioned this name many times when he came to Xiyuan to see His Majesty.

what does that mean?

Obviously, the new Jinshi who just finished second to last in the palace examination has an influence on His Majesty that cannot be ignored. Unlike the special events in the previous special period, this influence can already involve normal government affairs.

While Xu Jie was still guessing, Emperor Jiajing sighed and waved: "Just Ruan E, let him rush to Hangzhou immediately and take office as the governor of Zhejiang."

Yan Song had no expression on his old face, and Li Mo was happy and could finally get into the war in the southeast. Although Ruan E and Cao Bangfu could not fight against Hu Zongxian, they were still somewhat important.

But at this moment, Emperor Jiajing said leisurely: "Governor Hu Zongxian of Zhejiang Province was appointed as the Minister of War, and the left assistant censor of the Censorate."

The hall was quiet, but Yan Song stood up tremblingly, but he felt in his heart that His Majesty had lived in the West Garden for more than ten years, and his methods remained unchanged.

Previously, Hu Zongxian was promoted from Hangzhou to governor of Zhejiang, and finally served as governor of Zhejiang. He was only appointed as the Minister of War in Nanjing and the Right Censor of the Nanjing Censorate. Although the scope of power has not changed, the essence is very different.

"Okay." Emperor Jiajing waved his hand to repel the ministers, and casually ordered before leaving, "With the middle, let Hu Ruzhen train more new troops and quell the Japanese turmoil as soon as possible."

Xu Jie, behind Yan Song, seemed to have not heard it, slowly retreated from the hall, and after some greetings, he went straight out of the Xiyuan and went home.

"Master, did you come back so early today?" Zhang stood up in surprise to greet her. She was surprised that it was not that Xu Jie came back so early, but that she went straight to the backyard after she came back. Generally speaking, Xu Jie came back into the study.

After looking at his daughter, Xu Jie forced a smile and asked Xu Can to go back first, and asked in a low voice: "How are you talking to the Qian family?"

"Didn't you agree?" Zhang was even more surprised, "The post-school selection of Shuji began to pick him up."

The Ming Dynasty did not pay attention to the six rituals, but only performed the three rituals, accepted the pick, accepted the rituals, and welcomed them in person, and the process was greatly simplified.

"After choosing Shujishi?" Xu Jie pursed his lips and thought for a moment, "Is it possible that he wants to choose Shujishi?"

"It shouldn't be difficult to have the master here, right?"

Xu Jie sat down slowly, his expression changing. He knew very well that the little fox was very thoughtful and he was a little unpredictable.

When meeting Your Majesty today, Xu Jie deeply felt Qian Yuan’s influence on Emperor Jiajing.

From Emperor Jiajing's proposal of Wu Baipeng to Hu Zongxian's appointment as Minister of War and the left assistant censor of the Censorate of the Censorate, Qian Yuan was also very connected.

But what Emperor Jiajing said in the end... made Hu Ruzhen train more new troops, which was meaningful.

This shows that Emperor Jiajing adopted the Qian Yuan Palace Examination’s question. The reason is very simple. To train more new troops, this requires money to support it.

In the answer sheet of the palace examination, almost everyone criticized the compilation method, and at most they only analyzed the advantages of compilation method, but also clearly pointed out its disadvantages. Xu Wei is an example, otherwise, with the Qing Ci, the position of the top scholar may be in his pocket.

Only Qian Yuan did not directly describe the method of formulating the composition itself, but instead based on the method of formulating the composition, trying to turn the servants into silver subsidies to make up for the embarrassment of insufficient financial resources in the court.

Duoduo trains the new army, and this sentence has a second meaning, at least in Xu Jie's opinion... Several people who trained the new army in the southeast had a deep friendship with Qian Yuan, and Qi Jiguang, who defeated the Japanese three times, became famous. It is said that Qian Yuan recommended it to Hu Zongxian.

In short, although Qian Yuan was not present, he had a strong sense of presence today.

Xu Jie wondered why the Qian family pushed and pushed again and again after that time, from the release of the imperial examination to the release of the palace examination, and even after the selection of Shujishi... Could it be that they had to be selected again after the selection of officials?

Although Xu Jie didn't know the reason, he had his own way.

"Select Shuji in five days, and you will have someone to send a message in the next two days." Xu Jie whispered: "After picking it within five days."

Zhang nodded hesitantly.

In Xu Jie's opinion, it is imperative to win over Qian Yuan. He would never let go of Qian Yuan, who has such a wide connection, has such a great influence on Emperor Jiajing, and is surrounded by so many talents.

This is the third bird Qian Yuan chose.
