Chapter 144 Skill Competition
Seeing that Shi Fenglai's instinct of flattery was offended again, Zhu Youjian gave him a blank look. It would be better to have such a chance to sell well.
"Emperor Jianwen overcame his talent ceremony to override his personal likes and dislikes, and he also has unknown knowledge of people, so Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai's followers came to the house, and the defeat of Jingnan is not unfair."
Hearing this, if Liu Ruozai doesn't understand the emperor's meaning, it would be a little stupid.
Before Zhu Youjian could speak again, Liu Ruozai was already crying and kowtowing.
"How can the country judge whether a talent is based on personal preference? It is even more ridiculous to judge talent by appearance. I will return this top scholar to you today for the late emperor!"
After a word, Liu Ruozai was already grateful.
"Your Majesty's kindness, the students are afraid, and they will devote themselves to their dedication to repay the emperor's kindness with their death!"
After saying that, Liu Ruozai solemnly bowed three times and kowtowed nine times.
"Haha, Liu Qing's words are so serious. This is what you deserve. I think you have written well and the article is excellent. Let's stay by my side and be a secretary."
Once he was a saint, Liu Ruozai, who had never dared to even be a Jinshi, not only became the top scholar, but also chose the emperor. Such an encounter soon became a beautiful story in the imperial examination in the first year of Chongzhen.
The new emperor's behavior, regardless of appearance, only takes character and talent, has attracted the praise of the emperor and scholars.
At this time, a group of new Jinshi students who were in the Nancheng Tavern also talked about this.
"Haha, the emperor has the style of Emperor Taizu and the virtue of Emperor Xiaozong. This is actually the blessing of our scholars, the blessing of the people, and the blessing of the Ming Dynasty. However, it would be no more beautiful to rectify the name. If the emperor is like the late emperor, perhaps the top scholar this time would be the first brother."
An official sitting next to Zhou Rang began to joke about Zhou Rang's appearance, which caused everyone to sneer.
"De'an, go to you! It seems that you have too few abacus beads in the Ministry of Revenue."
Zhou Rang pretended to be angry and then began to run his pain.
The official whose courtesy name is De'an is Li Chun, who is the 13th in the second grade and is now in the Ministry of Revenue.
After Bi Ziyan became the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, under the instruction of Zhu Youjian, the Ministry of Revenue was rectified, one of which was to carefully study the business.
Therefore, these scholars and officials who came from poetry and books began to be the abacus beads that Barra had looked down upon before, and everyone was quite distressed about it.
Li Chun, who had just gone to the Ministry of Revenue, was not missed. In addition to studying the handling of Ministry of Revenue affairs with his seniors, he was learning the plan with an old official. He knocked his fingers red every day, and his fingers were about to be called out.
Moreover, Bi Ziyan did not allow them to be lazy and had to take the exam every month.
"Oh, I thought it was a good idea to stay in the Ministry of Revenue, but I didn't expect to do the job of the accounting department."
Li Chun spread his hands and looked desperate.
"Haha, De'an should not be sad. The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the world's money and grain. To be more important, it is just the account of the Ming Dynasty. How can you do not know how to plan? If your account of the house can't even make abacus, you will still use him."
Wang Yiren drank a glass of wine and advised him.
"Oh, Brother Chudao, you are standing and talking without any pain. You are in the Hanlin Academy, and you are the most precious in poetry, writing and writing. But I don't know the hardships of us, and De'an is still good. Like me in the Ministry of Works, I am not just sad, I don't want to live anymore."
An official sitting next to Wang Yiren raised his hand and fucked a glass of wine in front of him, and then poured him another glass.
When Li Chun saw the same year as the Ministry of Works, he immediately became happy again.
"Haha, I felt balanced when I saw Zheng Shiduo. At least I was sitting in the house to plan. It is said that Shiduo and the others were driven away by the old Shangshu to several construction sites in the capital. They even went to the Yellow River embankment far away. Come on, Shiduo, let's have a drink."
Li Chun said as he stood up, touched Zheng Shiduo from the Ministry of Works, and then sipped all over with laughter.
Zheng Shiduo pretended to ignore Li Chun, shook his head, and raised his glass toast.
"You are just a habit of being accustomed to the chaos in the court in the past few decades. The Ministry of Works does not know how to create, the Ministry of Revenue does not understand money and grain, the Ministry of War does not understand battle formations, the Ministry of Personnel does not know about officials, the Ministry of Rites does not know about etiquette and law, and the Ministry of Justice does not know about the name of punishment. This is the chaos in the court."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Wang Yiren stood up and continued.
"The officials of the six ministries do not understand their business, and all the affairs are left to the officials. Therefore, in the past few decades, the wars have not stopped, Taicang is empty, bandits are rampant, and the officials are not clear about the chaos."
"Now the emperor is standing in support of the country and reviving the Ming Dynasty. The six ministries are also examples of the world and the center of the court. How can there be no reason for the injustice?"
Speaking of this, Wang Yiren was about to look at the door, then lowered his voice.
"We are newcomers, with a clear foundation. Don't follow those traitors to make trouble. The emperor has the kindness of Emperor Xiaozong, but Taizu and Chengzu are not lacking in style. The blood of the eunuchs outside Xuanwu Gate, Shaanxi and Tianjin officials have not been completely dried up."
After Wang Yiren finished speaking, the whole room became quiet.
"Yes, yes, what I said is, let alone in the six ministries, we should understand these. The saint said: If you plan your own affairs and take your duties and responsibilities, the emperor should do this."
Zhou Rang made a smooth move, and the others nodded and said yes.
In the first half of the first year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian held a large-scale military training activity in the six ministries and nine ministers' yamen, requiring all government agencies to improve their business, conduct evaluations, and eliminate mediocre officials.
This matter was organized by the cabinet, supervised by the East Factory, and personally inspected by the emperor. It caused quite a stir in the capital over the past year, so the scene discussed by the new Jinshi before.
"Brother Chudao, have you heard any news?"
An official who had not spoken asked.
This person's name is Liu Ruxing, whose courtesy name is Shengshen, was also a Jinshi in the first year of Chongzhen. He was assigned to the Ministry of War to observe politics. He was sent to Jizhen to study on the spot by the Ministry of Justice. Logically speaking, he was the most unlucky, but this person is introverted and has few words.
"Haha, look at me, I'm much smarter than you. When I went to Jizhen, I stayed with those martial artists for three or five months without saying anything. You two have a few abacus beads and beads to transfer to several construction sites and they have resentment. It's true that I won't change."
Wang Yiren took the opportunity to criticize him again because of his age.
"Oh, we know we are wrong, it's not okay. We have done this and apologized to me. Let me tell you quickly, is there really any news?"
As he said that, Zheng Shiduo and Li Chun had a drink in a glass of wine, and then gave another gift.
Seeing that the two of them were sincere, Wang Yiren didn't want his same year to be a taboo. He hit the gun and cleared his throat and said in an extremely low voice.
"I heard that there will be a review after the holiday. It may be a group of people to deal with. You must be careful during this period and don't be the rafters to stand out."
After Wang Yiren finished speaking, the quiet needle in the room could be heard.
