"The Emperor--" Wang Tigan came in and whispered to remind him that it was getting late and it was time to have dinner.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and ordered Wang Tigan: "Put eight dishes, two pots of wine for Lord Shen, and send them to the inn."

After saying that, he turned to Chen Yourong and smiled, "For me, Chen Qing must be reserved, so he went back to eat more, which was considered as my reception for Chen Qing. Well, take these documents and I wrote them. Chen Qing carefully read them tomorrow--"

Shaking his head, Zhu Youxiao said, "I may not have time tomorrow. Then let's try the cannons in the suburbs of the city, Chen Qing will accompany me to watch it, and then report back."

Chen Yourong still didn't know the emperor's thoughts, but the kindness of giving wine and food made him secretly relieved.

"I thank you for your rewards." Chen Yourong stood up and bowed, took the wooden box containing documents brought by the palace servants, and left.

Another veteran is exhausted! Zhu Youxiao saw Chen Yourong, who is already in his sixties, withdraw and sighed softly.

There is no way. Apart from Chen Yourong, I don’t know who is a famous naval warfare general, even if he is an experienced general.

As for Fujian General Yu Zigao, Zhu Youxiao felt that his ability was mediocre, which was far inferior to his father's famous general Yu Dayou!

Of course, the imperial court's capital investment in the navy was also a problem. Zhu Youxiao had already removed the treasury and issued an order to order Fujian to build ships and reorganize troops.

Time is so tight that we must expand the navy before Zheng Zhilong and others can grow up.

Sell ​​money by selling it, tighten your belt, why don’t we really sell the palace?

Beijing is magnificent and can sell more money, and Nanjing is kept for it, so there must be a nest.

……………………

A lilac ray of light, like a free signal, swept across the horizon, dyeing the beautiful colors brought by the rising sun all over the earth.

Outside the Forbidden City, there were already a large number of people waiting to look at each other.

On one hand are civil and military officials, while on the other hand are tribute soldiers wearing brand new Jinshi crowns and uniforms and black hats with hairpins and flowers. Of course, martial Jinshis dressed in military generals’ costumes are also indispensable.

The results of the palace examination have come out, and today is the "Da Chuanlu". After so many young talents were admitted at once, the court of law must hold a more grand entry ceremony for them.

The tributes are very excited. They are already the winners in life, it depends on this final ranking!

The top scorer, the second scorer, the treatment and glory he received are not comparable to ordinary Jinshi.

Compared to the excitement of the tributes, the officials are much more dull.

He was "resigned" so much at once, and was overthrown by a group of people with a big hat of "forming a clique and slandering a false alarm";

The anti-corruption and purge of the three ministries of soldiers, households and officials also caused a group of officials from the capital to the local area to be severely punished; no one was afraid of the young emperor's decisive attack.

How come the king's kindness, the traditions of the court, and the unspoken rules of the officialdom have changed all at once?

You must be cautious when resigning from an official position, you must be dismissed when forming a clique, and you must be more careful when corruption is employed.

Although the young emperor's tricks continued, although it was not solemn in the court, it also alerted many officials to re-examine the emperor's thoughts and actions.

Of course, there are frustrated people, and there are naturally proud people.

The new ministers of the three ministries of the army, household and official are full of energy and look like they want to show their strength.

There is also Yang Lian, who has taken over to co-organize military affairs from outside, and Bi Zisu, who has been promoted to the third-level left censor of the Censorate, who has ordered the convening of thirteen supervisory censors to Beijing to report on their duties. The intention of making big moves is obvious!

The rank of the censor of the supervisor is not high, but his responsibilities are to inspect prefectures and counties, and to conduct investigations and impeachments by officials. He also has the power to "report big things and make decisions on small things", which is very awesome.

Look, Bi Zisu stood there with a serious face, famous for his strong temperament, and his big eyes were trembling!

Yan, Su! That's right, Bi Ziyan and Bi Zisu are brothers, both of whom are quite talented.

Zhu Youxiao Jian Babi Zisu entered the Censorate in order to control the base camp of this censor and the old nest of the Donglin Party.

Basically, after Zhu Youxiao's operation, the Donglin Party in the court has been severely damaged.

Xiao Xiami didn't count. The heavyweight officials of the Donglin Party were either transferred out of the capital or exiled. Sun Shenxing, the Minister of Rites, also submitted a memorial to resign. With the emperor's pleasure, he was about to get out.

The drums at the Meridian Gate Tower of the Forbidden City Meridian Gate sounded. As soon as the drums sounded, all civil and military officials lined up according to their rank positions and waited for the palace gate to open.

Under the command of officials from the Ministry of Rites, the civil and military jinshi also lined up in order.

The bell rang, and the palace gate slowly opened, unveiling the majestic veil of the palace's important place.

The civil and military officials were familiar with the road and stepped into the Meridian Gate. The civil and military officials followed the civil and military officials and also entered the Meridian Gate.

The Jinshui River winds through the Meridian Gate and Taihe Gate. The Jinshui Bridge is made of white marble, carefully carved and gorgeous.

The officials once again sorted out the crown and belt, and the queue was adjusted more neatly, and continued to move forward.

At this time, in addition to more guards, the censors among civil and military officials also began to take charge of supervision. Once any words and deeds are inappropriate, they will be recorded and dealt with in the future.

When they arrived outside the hall, civil and military officials stood from top to bottom according to their ranks, while civil and military officials were ranked behind the officials and stood under the "block", which was clearly ranked.

Because the emperor was going to visit, the outside of the hall was arranged according to the emperor's specifications, with all kinds of ceremonies and musicians on standby.

The emperor's personal soldiers stood on both sides of the steps, with shiny swords and guns in their hands, all of whom were erect, with their chests and heads raised, majestic, and even more majestic.

According to the ritual system, at the beginning of the Chen Dynasty, the Minister of Rites went to the Qianqing Palace to ask the emperor to leave the palace with a dress, and the nearby servants led them to the main hall to ascend to the seat.

At this time, the Zhonghe Shao music played the Longping chapter. A guard held a whip under the eaves. After dancing three whips, the Danbi music played the Qingping chapter.

Well, the whip is very loud! The music is not exciting enough.

Zhu Youxiao sat on the imperial throne with a smile on his face, looking at the officials and civil and military officials who were performing the ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows below.

Today I just show off my face, neither having to issue an edict nor accustom the words, I just sit there as a decoration.

At this time, the official of the Honglu Temple began to promulgate the "Character": "A certain year, month and day, the tribute scholars in the world were given the first class to be awarded the Jinshi, the second class to be awarded the Jinshi, and the third class to be awarded the same Jinshi."

After the "Statement" was announced, a palace man handed over the ranking of the imperial list to the cabinet chief Han Du.

Han Yu held the emperor's list in his hand and saluted to the Emperor of Heaven sitting on the dragon throne, then walked to the table placed on the east side of the hall, opened the emperor's list and put it down.

The civil and military officials standing behind the officials immediately became nervous and excited, and even their breathing became heavy.

Under the gaze of the fiery eyes, the Ministry of Rites officials walked to the table and opened the gold chart and started singing the charts.

"The first place in the first place in the palace examination of Renxu Enke in the second year of Tianqi... Liu Lishun!"
Chapter completed!
