Huang Daozhou hurriedly stood up and bowed, "Gei Master! The student also asked Mr. Ye this way, but Mr. Ye specifically told me at that time that you are the second assistant to the cabinet and the emperor relied on. How dare he drive the ministers of the cabinet? Therefore, he did not dare to write to you, but just asked the students to say hello to you for him and listen to the teacher's teachings."

Han Du was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ye Xianggao, the respected former prime minister, would respect him so much, and he took the initiative to lower his posture.

This made Han Du feel much better all of a sudden.

Originally, Han Yu was depressed because he failed to mess with Fang Congzhe by taking the exam. So when he learned through secret channels that Ye Xianggao was just writing letters to Zhao Nanxing, Zheng Sanjun and Qian Qianyi but did not write to himself, he became even more indignant and got angry.

But now after hearing what Huang Daozhou said, Han Yu immediately let go and said, "I just lost my composure!"

As he said that, Han Yu continued to ask Huang Daozhou: "Do you have any other words to convey to you?"

"Mr. Ye said that now Donglin has lost power, and even the entire scholars cannot control the emperor, it is because people are uneven and disorderly, especially the two of us, Donglin, have no rules in our conduct. When Liu Jihui (Liu Yiyin) was in the cabinet, you were listed under the ban with the Pavilion Master. However, at that time, all the gentlemen of Donglin relied on the power of the censors and were inferior to the emperor's honor. Therefore, they acted recklessly in everything, but never followed the advice of the Pavilion Master and others, and were even rude and arrogant, so that the Pavilion Master not only could not use his power to advise and block the king, but were implicated by him."

After Huang Daozhou said this, Han Du nodded repeatedly.

He also had to admit that the Donglin Party was too loose. He and Liu Yiyin and other cabinet ministers often could not control the Donglin Party's censors at all, and were even dragged down by the Donglin Party's censors.

"Those who know me are Mr. Ye!"

Han Du sighed and said.

"So, Master of the Pavilion hopes that you can become the leader of my Donglin. He wrote to Duke Zhao, Duke Zheng and Duke Qian. The purpose was to entrust all his disciples and officials under the Pavilion, and to ask the gentlemen of Donglin to listen to the Grand Master's words in the future. In addition, Duke Ye also said that he hoped that Master of the Pavilion would not be too quarrel with Fang Daxing, and should follow the two Dukes Xu Huating (Xu Jie) and Zhang Puzhou (Zhang Siwei) and bear it before moving."

Huang Daozhou started talking.

Han Yu was very respectful after hearing this, especially when he thought that he could not take advantage of the fact that the scholars had to take the exam and caused Fang Congzhe to suffer a loss, he had to admit that Ye Xianggao was the former chief assistant. Although he was far away in the countryside, he knew the court better than him.

Therefore, Han Yu couldn't help but say, "If Mr. Ye returns to the cabinet, the court would not have been in such a situation, but Your Majesty just doesn't need Mr. Ye, alas!"

Huang Daozhou did not continue to talk about the topic of Emperor Zhu Youxiao not asking Ye Xianggao to return to the cabinet, because he knew that Han Yu was just saying that he wanted Ye Xianggao to come back.

Huang Daozhou only said: "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Qian have begun to persuade the scholars not to stop the exam, and even advised them to let more students and children of officials in Beijing come to Beijing for the exam. There are also many disciples at the second supplement. At that time, the cabinet master will also persuade the lieutenants who are about to stop the exam."

Han Xiao nodded: "Of course, I have already sent someone to say hello overnight, and even those who don't plan to take the exam this year will come to take the exam, so as not to really let the scholar Fei Donglin take the limelight."

at the same time.

Fang Mansion.

Qi Shijiao came to meet Fang Congzhe and said, "Yuanfu, the lower officials have immediately informed the northern scholars who are close to us as you ordered, so that they can take the exam actively. Even if they do not plan to take the exam this year, they will come to take the exam, and strive to occupy a larger share of the 100 quotas of Jinshi."

Fang Congzhe nodded after hearing this: "I don't know that those nearly a thousand southern scholars who have stopped taking the exam will not stop taking the exam."

...

This day is the day when the Shuntian Provincial Examination begins.

There are many candidates to take the exam.

The entire exam room was filled with people, shoulder to shoulder, and the crown was like clouds.

Fang Congzhe couldn't help but frown and asked Li Ruhua, Sun Ruyou and others: "Everyone, aren't there many scholars who have stopped taking the exam? Why does the number of people in Shuntian provincial examinations this year seem to be more than in previous years?"

"I guess it's because His Majesty's method of increasing the number of places in the provincial examination really played a role. According to the regulations, the children of officials in Beijing are allowed to participate in the provincial examination in Shuntian Prefecture. Now it seems that the officials are afraid that the officials have stopped their children from taking the exam, and even let their children take the exam actively."

Li Ruhua started talking.

Fang Congzhe nodded and said, "The imperial edict has not been issued for a long time. It can be seen that so many people who participated in the provincial examinations can be added at once. It is not only because of Your Majesty's kindness, but because someone behind him started to move first."

After hearing this, Li Ruhua suddenly realized: "Yuan Fu is right, who do you think it will be?"

"It can only be the one who is idle in Fujian, otherwise who will have such ability."

Fang Congzhe replied with an unhappy look.

He knew that his intention to take this opportunity to get more northern scholars into the court was blocked by Ye Xianggao, so he was a little unhappy.

...

"The other Fang Congzhe also met an opponent. He should thank me for not letting Ye Xianggao return to the cabinet."

Zhu Youxiao laughed when he learned that the number of candidates for the Shuntian Prefecture provincial examination was not only not small, but also more than in previous years.

certainly.

Zhu Youxiao had already guessed from the beginning that the gentry in the south could not be so honest and even stopped the exam after he issued such a ruthless policy.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao had no hope of suppressing the gentry from the Southern gentry by this time the scholars' examination, the Shuntian Prefecture Provincial Examination and the next year's examination.

After all, the gentry in the south is not stupid. After knowing that the emperor was trying to win over the gentry in the north but was not afraid of the gentry in the severity and severely cracked down on the severity in the severity in the severity in the severity in the severity in the severity in the severity in the severity in the severity in the severity in the severity in the severity in the

Zhu Youjian had only one purpose, that is, to use the contradictions between the gentry in the north and the south to achieve his own goal of stabilizing the imperial power.

This time, the fact that the scholars stopped the examination was stopped because the three tribes of Li Sancai and the killing of 87 scholars who made a big fuss in the Jinyiwei did not happen because the southern gentry was precisely the gentry of Donglin.

Therefore, this undoubtedly means that Zhu You's behavior of proofreading the scholars' uncompromising or even tougheningly dealing with them will not affect the motivation of the scholars and officials to continue to serve the court.

Who made the Ming Dynasty the only court in the entire China that can be promoted to office?

Fang Congzhe returned home in a little disappointed manner.

But as soon as he got home, he saw car and sedan parked in front of his house, and people were standing in his east courtyard.

Fearing to be disturbed, Fang Congzhe simply walked around the west side of the Chuanhuamen, and then came to Liu's room and asked, "What is that stranger doing?"

The eldest son of a wealthy family usually lives in the east wing room. Therefore, when Fang Congzhe saw that there were many people in the east yard, he guessed that so many people were invited by his son.

Liu hurriedly replied: "Now there are people coming in the East Courtyard every day, saying that they want to open a book shop."

"Book shop?"

Fang Congzhe was a little puzzled, but then he understood and laughed: "Let him do it, so he can be happier."

...

"The second assistant is the second assistant! As long as my father is still in the first assistant for one day, Han Yu will always be a decoration, so he is not worth worrying about. The people who are really difficult to deal with are Ye Xianggao, Zhao Nanxing, and Zheng Sanjun;

Especially Ye Xianggao, although this person has retired, his qualifications are above his father, and he is good at using momentum and has mastered means. Now he is outside the temple, so it is even more difficult to catch a handle, but the Donglin officials below who have never been subject to discipline are easy to deal with;

What I mean is to first expose the scandals of these Donglin officials below. This book "The Disasters of the Donglin Party" written by Feng Qiandu should be published quickly, and excerpted from the wonderful parts into anonymously revealed in various places! Let everyone know about the scandals of Donglin people, and even ask the storytellers to tell them, and change them to children in the streets and alleys to sing them! In short, the purpose is only one, to make these Donglin gentlemen so that they no longer have the nerve to call themselves gentlemen!”

Fang Shihong talked to Gu Bingqian, Feng Quan and other civil servants who came to his East Courtyard.
