I repeatedly offered poisonous tactics, but Lao Zhu quickly advised me to calm down!

Prime Minister's Mansion.

The imperial examination is coming soon, and everyone knows that this is an opportunity to reach the sky.

As the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, Hu Weiyong was in charge of the personnel selection for this imperial examination.

Therefore, in order to be able to prosper and prosper, he could successfully take advantage of this imperial examination.

Hu Weiyong's Prime Minister's Mansion is very lively.

Servants from various families and courtyards lined up in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion with gifts.

The threshold of the Prime Minister's Mansion was directly stepped on to create two depressions.

"Butler, please let me in! My master specifically told me that the gift must be delivered. If it cannot be delivered, my master will kill me!"

"Mr. Butler, this is just a small thing, don’t take it personally! If you let me in, I'll give you a generous gift as a thank you!"

"Mr. Butler, the Prime Minister and I are from the same hometown. We even slept in the same bed when the incident broke out! Please tell me, the Prime Minister must know me!"

"…………"

In front of the prime minister's door, officials and servants gathered around the housekeeper and chatted.

What's more, he stuffed gold ingots directly into the butler's sleeves.

This is really a"big harvest".

Hu Weiyong was very particular about not rejecting anyone who came to his house, and he never let anyone stop anyone who came to offer a gift.

As the saying goes, be in your position and seek your job.

They were just giving gifts, it was the emperor who had the final say whether things were done or not.

Is it possible that if the matter is not completed, those who gave the gifts will still impeach themselves in front of His Majesty?

These are all tacit things!

At this moment, Hu Weiyong was enjoying tea and basking in the sun at his house.

Since his teacher Li Shanchang resigned, he, his favorite disciple, inherited the position of prime minister.

At first, he was cautious.

But as time passed, Hu Weiyong discovered how powerful the prime minister really was.

They can deceive the superiors, and they can exert their power over the subordinates.

This is simply a good position to make money.

No wonder people throughout the ages have struggled to become prime ministers.

This position is really inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people!

"Sir, the prince's attendant, Bai Xintao, wants to see you."

Hearing the report from the servant, Hu Weiyong raised his brows slightly.

Bai Xintao?

He must have come here because of the imperial examination chief examination.

This person can be put to good use.

A fox smile appeared on Hu Weiyong's face, he sat up and said in a deep voice Ordered:

"let him in"

Prince's East Palace.

After returning to his palace, Zhu Biao was still thinking about who should be the examiner of the imperial examination.

After all, this is the first major test after the restoration of orthodoxy in the Central Plains.

Not only did my father attach great importance to it, but scholars all over the world also paid great attention to this exam.

This time's imperial examination can be said to be an examination that affects the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty.

Who will serve as the examiner is a top priority, and even related to the country itself!

He is highly respected and has both ability and political integrity.

Who on earth deserves such an evaluation?

Zhu Biao sat on the couch and thought for a long time.

From the way back until now, he has been thinking about who is the most suitable candidate.

But after thinking about it, the names of people in his mind changed one after another, but none of them fit his mind.

Sighing lightly, Zhu Biao shook his head.

"Well, I think what Dr. Chen Mu said was not just for me."

"He must have wanted to use my words to convey it to his father."

"Since I can't make a decision, let me leave it to my father to make a decision!"

Making a decision in his heart, Zhu Biao immediately set off to visit his father.

…………

Yingtian Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang was watching the construction progress of the imperial examination room.

The first Enke since the founding of the Ming Dynasty naturally had to be perfect in all aspects.

We must show the magnificence of Ming Dynasty to millions of students all over the world.

In this way, these students can happily contribute their talents and learning to the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world.

Therefore, the construction of the imperial examination examination room is naturally extremely important.

We can't let the students see that the Enke examination center is a shoddy project, right?

While reviewing the memorial, the eunuch at the door suddenly sang loudly:

"His Royal Highness, please see me outside the palace.——"

Upon hearing the arrival of the prince, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately smiled on his face.

He put down the memorial in his hand and said loudly:

"Let Biaoer come in."

Not long after, Prince Zhu Biao walked into the hall.

"See Father. Zhu

Biao bowed and saluted. Zhu Yuanzhang stepped forward to lift him up and said softly:

"Hey, let’s stop being such a heretic in our own family."

Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Biao and sat on the dragon chair together.

Zhu Biao was flattered by this move.

He stood up quickly and said cautiously:

"Father, how can a child be so arrogant? Zhu

Yuanzhang said with a smile:

"Not long after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, we still have many things to deal with."

"When the matter is almost settled, I will give you the throne to sit on."

"Your mother and I will live in retirement and enjoy happiness."

Zhu Yuanzhang's words are not adulterated in the slightest. He really thinks so.

As for the things he said that have not yet been dealt with.

Of course, they are also the nobles of Huaixi who are proud of their merits and are proud of their favor.

Listen to the words of the father. , Zhu Biao thought it was a test.

He said hurriedly and cautiously:

"Father, what are you saying? Only if you are at the helm can the Ming Dynasty last for thousands of years!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and he motioned to his servants to give him a seat.

When Zhu Biao sat down, he asked softly:

"Biao'er, why are you here?"

"Father, he is the candidate to take the exam for Enke."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly.

This time, the candidate for Enke's examination was very important. Even he had not decided on the candidate for a long time.

Looking up at the prince, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to see who the prince chose.

"Biao'er, do you have a favorite candidate?"

Zhu Biao looked troubled, and he shook his head:

"Back to my father, not yet. But I know what kind of person should be elected as the examiner."

"Having both ability and political integrity, high moral character and high respect!"

Zhu Biao said the eight words he got from Chen Mu.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed.

He nodded repeatedly, laughed and said with satisfaction:

"good! good!"

"When we go to court tomorrow, let’s ask Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen for their opinions!"

………………

After returning from school, Chen Mu returned to the inn where he had stayed.

Compared with the Imperial College, which has no visitors, the inn is much more lively.

He lives in the corner of the second floor of the inn.

Since this is the corner of the inn, you can hear the noise of the entire inn.

The first floor of the inn is a tavern where diners come and go to drink and eat.

The people who come and go in the tavern come from all walks of life.

There are candidates who have come to Yingtian to prepare for their first exam.

There are also porters who come from thousands of miles to do business.

The wine shop is noisy, day and night.

However, it was precisely because of these noises that Chen Mu felt the long-lost atmosphere of human fireworks.

Although this place is not more noble than the Imperial College, it does not have the indifference and cold-bloodedness of the Imperial College.

As the saying goes, as deep as the palace is as deep as the sea, we will never leave human love again.

In the palace and above the court, what matters is human relations and sophistication, and what matters is the distinction between superior and inferior.

Such a world with obvious class distinctions is not as humane as a place like an inn.

Rather than staying in a cold place like the Imperial College, Chen Mu would rather stay in this noisy inn.

Close the door and close the hanging window.

Chen Mu blocked out all the noise from the outside world.

He sat at the desk and took out a roll of lists from his sleeve pocket.

On the list, the names of the dignitaries of the day were clearly recorded:

"Li Shanchang"、"Sapphire"、"Feng Sheng"、"Fu Youde"、"Mu Ying"、"……"

These people are all members of the Prince's East Palace team.

But this time, his mansion was ransacked, and it was Lan Yu's gang members, and Bai Xintao secretly fueled the situation.

This time, under his subtle operation, Lan Yu has been put in danger.

This time during the Northern Expedition to Yuanting, if Lan Yu returned with a great victory, Zhu Yuanzhang would still be able to spare his life.

But if the blue jade comes back in disgrace, it will not accomplish even a single step.

What awaits him will be the annihilation of all nine races!

Thinking of this, Chen Mu couldn't help but reveal a cold-blooded smile.

His eyes rested on"Sapphire" on the list.

He picked up the ink pen and placed it on the list.

The tip of the pen sketched and drew a red circle on Sapphire's name.

Then he made a cross on the circle diagonally.

Lan Yu will definitely die this time!

However, before Lan Yu came back, Zhu Yuanzhang had to go on a killing spree.

Use Lan Yu's party members to do the operation and shock the nobles of Huaixi!

The prince wanted me to enter the East Palace to give lectures.

And Bai Xintao, who was pushing the situation behind the scenes, was the Prince's Attendant.

If he wants to establish a firm foothold in the Prince's East Palace, Bai Xintao must die!

Compared to now, Bai Xintao is already thinking about it and wants to join in the fun in the imperial examination.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Bai Xintao's connections are nothing more than Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others.

However, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, the importance of these two peoplenot enough.

We need to add more fire to make Bai Xintao die completely!
