"They have always been indifferent to the border affairs in the north, and they only jumped up and opposed it when the court asked for the Jiangnan payment." Zhang Juzheng smiled bitterly when he heard this:

"I have no way of knowing what attitude they will be in this time."

In fact, he only said half of this. Gao Gong's disciples have been looking for the bad luck of the Jiangnan Group this year, impeaching them to compete for profit with the people, illegally running schools, monopolizing people's livelihood, etc.... but they were all suppressed by Zhao Zhenji.

If he couldn't write two characters Zhao in one stroke, Zhao Ge Lao, based on the principle of "I support Gao Gong's objection," was willing to be a free meat shield for Jiangnan Group. As a result, the conflict between him and Gao Gong became increasingly intensified.

"Um..." Gao Gong was naturally aware of this, and he did not make a sound when he spit out the turbid air. Although he was like-minded with Zhang Juzheng, he was as close as a vague person, and he talked about everything. But who knew whether the boy named Zhao would become the son-in-law of the Zhang family, so he never discussed matters related to the Jiangnan Group.

He then thought silently for a moment, decided to press the wheel first and then asked, "What are the attitudes of the nobles?"

"Eight out of ten are the opposition." Zhang Juzheng spread his hands and said, "How can they make contributions if they don't fight?"

"It seems like they can fight..." Gao Gong spat, pouting his mouth. Even if the nobles don't fight on their own, their relatives and disciples still need to develop in the army and are definitely unwilling to negotiate peace.

"These ten votes against each other are very fatal." Zhang Juzheng sighed.

"Is there any way to change their course?" Gao Gong grabbed his beard and said, "Even if it's half way."

"Then we have to talk to the three masters." Zhang Juzheng said.

"I can't talk to them." Gao Gong shook his head flatly. Duke Cheng was not swaying, Duke Ding was cautious, and Duke England fell into the eyes of money.

The most important thing is that I can't come up with the bargaining chips that can impress them...

"Then who can talk to them?" Zhang Juzheng asked thoughtfully.

Gao Gong felt sick in his heart: "What circle? Just say it, this matter cannot be done without the boy named Zhao!"

"I didn't say that." Zhang Juzheng laughed and said, "But Brother Suqing seems to have prejudices against Zhao Hao. I don't think he dares to come to Beijing..."

"Don't I have prejudice against him?" As soon as he said this, Gao Gong opened the skylight and said in a bright spot. "Don't be too humble, you and I are all geniuses. I am good at coupons at the age of five, recite a thousand words at the age of eight, and win the first place at the age of seventeen. Your uncle is a world-famous prodigy, but as soon as that boy was born, he compared us all."

"Yes, there are talents in the country who have emerged, and they have been leading the way for hundreds of years." Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but smile.

"Oh yes, he can write poems..." Gao Gong said depressedly: "For such a person, there are no more suitable words to describe him except 'monster'!"

"This is not a good word..." Zhang Juzheng smiled.

A monster is abnormal in nature. The ancients believed that it was an ominous sign. It is said that "the country is about to perish, there must be monsters."

"Of course it's not a good word!" Gao Gong raised his tone and said: "In just four years, he founded Xishan Group and used the eldest princess to unite the honors of Beijing. He also founded Jiangnan Group, which won the Jiangnan family into a solid piece. This ability to form cliques is really sensational. I heard that the local officials in Jiangnan already knew that there was Jiangnan Group, but not the court!"

"He is still vigorously running education in Jiangnan. Good guy, let him go for ten or twenty years. When our generation grows old, there will be people named Zhao in the Ming Dynasty!" Gao Gong paused and said coldly: "What exactly does he want to do? I think he has absolutely no idea! Now he has firmly established his foundation, and it is not that easy to touch him. But because of this, he must show up with him as soon as possible!"

Zhang Juzheng was secretly shocked when he heard this. Unexpectedly, in Gao Gong's eyes, Zhao Hao's threat was comparable to that of the Tartars. He must first settle the country when he fights against foreign countries. Gao Beard will free up his hands and deal with Zhao Hao!

He couldn't be vague now and said in a deep voice: "Maybe Brother Suqing has had some prejudice against him because he has too little contact with him. I have talked with that boy several times to guarantee that this person is sincere to the Ming Dynasty. He did not hide anything he did, nor was he intentionally formed a clique, but the company's organizational form is too powerful."

"Didn't he invent the company?" Gao Gong asked sneered.

"That's different. When a baby is born, no one can tell whether he will become a saint or a demon in the future. It takes time to observe it slowly." Zhang Juzheng said seriously: "You shouldn't just learn to speak, just beat him to death."

"As long as you have the possibility of growing into a demon, you should be killed early to prevent future troubles!" Gao Gong gritted his teeth and said, "Did you think so? Uncle!"

"I have different opinions." Zhang Juzheng did not respond as usual, and said with a clear attitude: "In the 200th year of the Ming Dynasty, he had already lost the spirit of the founding country. He was already dead and was just following it. Even if we had the ambition to replenish the sky, we could only take measures such as "province discussion", "revitalization of discipline", "recent edicts", and "verify the name and reality"... Then we went back and forth a few moves, and we could not make any contribution. If we did well, we would only extend our lives for decades. But if we wanted to restore the power of the Second Patriarch, we would never be able to do it, let alone the Han and Tang Dynasties."

"Why am I talking for him? It's definitely not a favoritism... Besides, I have no personal relationship with that kid!" He advised earnestly:

"I feel the vigorous vitality and the power of change from a new thing like the company, especially the Jiangnan Group! This is the thing that the Ming Dynasty lacks the most today, so I hope to observe and see what tricks they can make and what changes they can bring to Jiangnan to the Ming Dynasty."

"Change, change." Gao Gong said a little irritated: "What if it becomes hopeless?"

Zhang Juzheng lowered his eyelids and said, "The way of Qian is changing, and each person has his own lives..."

"Everyone has his own lives? Is this what the grandmaster of a country should say? I think you are confused!" Gao Gong snorted coldly. Zhang Juzheng's words came from the "Book of Changes: Qian Gua", which can be understood as 'all things on the earth must adapt to the changes of the sky. The fittest survives and grows, and those who are not adapted can only be eliminated.'

"..." Zhang Juzheng stopped talking. In fact, there were four sentences he didn't say, which was even more excessive.

"Well, it's off topic. Why did the matter discussed in court involve that boy?" Seeing that the disagreement in his attitude towards Zhao Hao was too deep, Gao Gong hurriedly brought back the topic. The most important thing at the moment is Altan's tribute, and he had to put everything else back. He laughed and said, "Where did you say it just now, have you forgotten?"

"When it comes to the candidates for negotiations with the nobles, Zhao Hao is the most suitable." Zhang Juzheng also smiled and said, "I have been talking nonsense, and I can't count what I said just now."

"Yes, I can't count it." Gao Gong smiled and nodded, "Then call that kid into Beijing, and I will chat with him." He said with a self-deprecating smile: "Last time he went to Gaojiazhuang, I was just angry with Zhao Liben, the old donkey, and didn't talk to him in detail."

"It should be." Zhang Juzheng nodded, suddenly remembered something, and gritted his teeth and said, "Speaking of it, Bugu must also have a good chat with him!"

~~

In Xiaocang Mountain, Jinling City, Weijixian flagship store.

Mr. Zhao, who was attending the thank-you banquet, sneezes two loudly.

"Who is thinking about this young master?" Zhao Hao took the Ropa handed over by Sister Ma and blew his nose.

"I guess who is the one who looks good?" Li Zhi sat next to him, and started to tease him without hesitation.

"Nonsense, I am a man who is as good as jade." Zhao Hao rolled his eyes, and did not know him well. The boss is very tolerant of the irreplaceable ace employees... Of course, he cannot tease the boss's secretary.

This time, Li Zhi and Pan Zhongqi made great achievements in the counseling kings.

On September 18th, Yingtian’s provincial examination was announced. Jie Yuan’s surname was Jiao and his name was Xun, and he came from Yufeng Academy.

The second place is Yayuan Wu Rulun, from Yufeng Academy.

The third place, Ya Yuan Xia Liuren, comes from Yufeng Academy.

After that, until the tenth place, Ya Yuan, there were three others from Yufeng Academy.

In addition, 27 students were awarded the imperial examination, and 33 were on the list.

Although there are still 62 people who failed the exam, twice the number of people who passed the imperial examination.

However, this is the most serious test in the Nanzhili provincial examination!

In the fourth year of Longqing, a total of 4,300 candidates participated in the Yingtianfu provincial examination and finally admitted 135 juren.

The admission rate is only a pitiful 3.49%, but it is the highest in Jiajing in 16 years.

However, the admission rate of Yufeng Academy’s provincial examination is as high as 34.7%, which is ten times the total admission rate!

This is all about Yingtian’s provincial examination results. The students in other provinces are not so good, and the final admission rate will increase.

As expected, a few days later, good news from other provinces came one after another.

Fifty students who participated in the Shuntian Prefecture provincial examination won thirty juren, including Li Tingji, Jie Yuan.

Twenty-two students who participated in the Jiangxi provincial examination won nine juren, including Jie Yuan and Wu Tianliang.

Sixteen students who participated in the Shandong provincial examination won eight juren, including Yu Shensi.

There are also Huguang No. 3 Middle School, Fujian No. 3 Third Middle School, Henan No. 2 Middle School...

In the end, the total winning rate of Yufeng Academy reached a shocking 44.8%.

However, Zhao Hao will not publish this data, as it is too eye-catching. Anyway, the provincial examination records will only record the hometown and academic records of the candidates, and will not specifically record which private tutoring institution they came from. Therefore, there is no way for outsiders to count except within the academy.

According to his wishes, even the celebration banquet was not held, and it was enough to make a fortune in silence.

"You are stealing the bell with your ears." But Pan Zhongqi reminded him: "Others are not sure, but you can make an appointment with a rough idea. If you hide it, it seems like you have a ghost in your heart. It's better to admit openly that our tutoring for the imperial examination is amazing, so that everyone gets used to it earlier, so it's no wonder."

Zhao Hao repeatedly thought that this is indeed the case. He always wanted to be too tall and his hands were a little scared. He had been in his nest for almost a year and he hadn't moved, and he didn't seem to have planned to let him go.
