Chapter 201 Returning to politics and begging for rest

However, Mr. Zhao has also gone to his father-in-law's house to show his care. It can be said that "the father-in-law abused me thousands of times, and I treat my father-in-law like my first love."

The Spanish silently clicked to unblock...

However, Xianggong Zhang worked hard for the court, and in February the emperor would hold a plough ceremony and a tomb visit to Tianshou Mountain in March. These are also the last two rituals that marked the emperor's complete adulthood. Both palaces and Xianggong Zhang himself attached great importance to it.

Therefore, most of the time, Mr. Zhang was not at home and Gu had passed away. But Zhao Hao had a better object of filial piety, that is, Mrs. Zhao, the old lady of Zhang Juzheng.

Previously, in order to make the Prime Minister Zhang serve with peace of mind, Empress Dowager Li and the emperor ordered Wei Chao, the manager of the Qing Palace, to take his mother Zhao back to Beijing to support him.

Along the way, it was really "the etiquette is so great that the viewers are like blocked". It was another great drama on earth that was a waste of money and was welcomed by all officials.

It is said that when the old lady arrived by the Yellow River, she saw the turbid waves of the Yellow River empty, she was frustrated with dizziness and did not dare to cross the river. So the local officials connected the boat into a floating bridge, then filled it with soil, inserted willow trees on both sides, and walked on it like a dam. As a result, the old lady crossed the Yellow River without any notice.

After entering Beijing, the old lady enjoyed all her wealth and glory, and the empress dowager and the emperor often sent envoys to express their condolences. However, the old lady left the familiar environment, especially the old sisters who spent money with her all day, although their children and grandchildren were around her knees, she still felt lonely and lonely.

Mr. Zhao is accustomed to be able to please the elderly. When he was in Jiangling, he coaxed the old lady and had long regarded her grandson as her godson.

This time, I finally met my mother's family. The old lady held his hand and cried, asking her to tell her father-in-law whether she could send herself back to her hometown? Zhao Hao agreed while trying every means to make the old lady happy.

For an elderly person of this age, there is no worries, it cannot be solved by a circle of mahjong. If so, then play a few more circles.

So he invited Grandma Ye and Li Yihe's mother to play mahjong with the old lady. Soon, the old lady became happy and no longer missed home.

In addition, he had to take the time to go to Qilizhuang Stadium to be a caddie for the old man, preparing for the 9th "Yilan Soda Cup" Invitational Tournament that will open soon.

There is no way, you have to pretend to be a grandson when you return to Beijing, let alone he is still a real grandson.

Soon, after three exams, all the candidates who were tired of getting tired came out and lay down, resting for several days before they returned to their health.

On February 28th, the Ministry of Rites released the results and 400 Chinese juren from the Gengchen department were born.

With the reference number and admission rate of this subject basically unchanged, the number of admissions of Jiangnan Group hit a new high of 210 students, accounting for more than half of the total number of admissions for the first time. Finally, Mr. Zhao's ideal of occupying half of the imperial examination was realized.

This is nothing strange, because after Yufeng Academy, Xiangshan Academy, Fenghuang Academy and Xixi Academy, Jinling Yuhua Academy, Guangzhou Baiyun Academy, Jinan Daminghu Academy and Fuzhou Wushan Academy also began to send bachelors to participate in the imperial examinations.

The number of candidates for the exam reached a record 800 juren, and the number of Chinese students will naturally rise.

However, the high admission rate of the science school this time did not attract much attention. First, because there are more academies now, and after more blooming, it is not as eye-catching as the only one before. Second, people have become accustomed to science being the study of the imperial examination. Now, science students are not news, but not good at exams.

Moreover, there are some attracting attention in Gengchen, such as the rise of Huguang candidates. This subject has 60 Chinese-style students in Huguang, ranking first in all provinces, and more of them are the first in the first place than the giant Nanzhili.

Among these 70 Chinese juren from Huguang, in addition to the Huiyuan Xiao Liangyou, there are also two young masters of Zhang Xianggong, Jingxiu and Maoxiu. When people fail, they always like to look for reasons objectively. Seeing this result, those who failed the exam immediately inevitably believed that it was the examiner A Fu who sacrificed their future to please Zhang Jiangling.

For a moment, the public was in a hurry, and the government and the people looked at each other. Even Ren ran to Yu Youding and Xu Guofu, posting big-character posters to scold the two of them for not being impartial in their ability, and they were lackeys who only knew how to shake their tails and beg for mercy!

However, now all the officials in the court have been taken over by Mr. Zhang and are obedient. No one dares to write a memorial to talk nonsense when he is overjoyed, so these noises cannot be heard.

The palace examination was not affected at all and was held as scheduled on March 15th.

Although Zhao Hao conducted special training for 210 Chinese disciples, and because it was the last time the Xiangshan Forum was held in a short period of time, this time, both the guest lineup and the depth of discussion were stronger than before.

But Zhao Hao still gave his disciples a vaccination. The ranking of the palace examination this time may not be very good. But it doesn’t matter, the road ahead will be faster and faster...

Sure enough, he got the word. Three days later, the Golden List was passed down, and Zhang Xianggong's third son Maoxiu's top scorer in high school, Huiyuan Xiao Liang became the second place, and the third place Tanhua was Dong Sicheng from Xixi Academy...

Most of the 60 Jinshis from Huguang were among the top, which seriously reduced the ranking of Jinshis of other places. The new Jinshi dared not speak out, but the atmosphere was strange when the parade and the ceremony of the officials were held to praise them and the banquet was given to the emperor... No one dared to give Zhang Xianggong's son a look, so the second-level Xiao Liangyou became the target of ridicule of the son.

It’s so much that a literati can hurt people. It’s just that he’s not as good as Shen Mao, who was the last class…

It’s also a licking of the Prime Minister’s butt, Shen Maoxue can still win the top scorer. You, Xiao Liangyou, can only win the second scorer. Obviously, you are not good at licking...

Xiao Ran was ashamed and angry as he could not argue. In fact, Zhao Xianggong, who was the examiner of the palace examination, originally designated him as the top scorer, and Mao Xiu as Tanhua. However, the test paper was presented to Wanli, and the emperor said that Zhang Xianggong's son was second in the previous subject. How could he not advance or retreat this time? So Mao Xiu was promoted to the top scorer, and he fell to second.

But no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to take such a thing to the table and say it, otherwise the whole family would be unlucky.

As a result, he became anxious and became seriously ill. He didn't go to the Hanlin Academy for a day, so he simply resigned from his post as an illness and went home.

But who cares? Zhang Xianggong now has six sons, three of them passed the Jinshi, one ranked first and the other ranked second. Zhang Jingxiu also chose the Shujishi. The reputation of "Four Hanlins of Father and Son" is not unprecedented, but it is definitely the only one for Scorpion to shit in this dynasty for two hundred years.

However, this time the Prime Minister's Mansion did not celebrate as much as last time, because a few days before the Jinlu, Jingzhou suddenly came to report the demise and said that Zhang's third brother Zhang Juyi had passed away again.

Old Mrs. Zhao was sent to the black-haired man and fell ill all of a sudden. But she frightened Mr. Zhang. She has been taking leave at home these days, and she is not afraid to leave at my mother's bedside, and urges the doctors from Jiangnan Hospital to treat me well.

Li Youzi, Wang Zhuan, Zeng Shengwu and other members of the Zhang Party were also panicked, burning incense everywhere, begging God and worshiping Buddha, and praying that the old lady would be well.

Three years ago, because Mr. Zhang died, they still have fears about the love-taking storm that caused, fearing that the old lady would have another few mistakes. How can everyone live their lives...

Now the six ministers and nine ministers, and the governors are not Zhang's party? How can the officials in the court let them compete? So the ministers and ministers followed suit, some praying for worship, some praying for animals, some making vows, and some donating all over the streets, praying for blessings for the old lady in various ways.

It is said that even Empress Dowager Li copied the Diamond Sutra for the old lady, and even the women and relatives could not sit still.

Just when this live drama was about to affect the local area, to everyone's surprise, Mr. Zhang actually resigned after he wrote...

He said firmly in "Returning to Government and Break-Application Memorial":

In the past nine years of being ordered, I have worked hard to avoid slander. As a result, I have become sick and criticized by all the people of the world. Whenever I think of the ancients saying, "The high position cannot be stolen for a long time, and the great power cannot be lived in a long time." I feel anxious and uneasy, but because the emperor is still young and cannot rule the government, I never dare to ask for a rash request for retreat.

Now, thanks to the blessing of the ancestors of heaven and earth, peace between China and abroad in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's great wedding, farming and ceremonies and other adult etiquettes have been successfully held. Now the holy aspirations have been settled, the sages and virtues have been renewed, and above the court, there are all loyalty and virtuous people.

With the emperor's wise and wise ministers, it is not difficult to create a peaceful and prosperous era and preserve the great cause of his ancestors.

I finally dared to return to power with confidence.

Moreover, my body is weak, and I have been overworked over the years. In addition, my family has passed away one after another and suffered repeated blows. I am exhausted and my blood and energy have faded. I am just over fifty. My hair turns white when I am just over fifty. I will definitely become stupid and dull. Otherwise, I will quit my job early, and I will lose all my previous efforts.

In addition, I failed to serve in front of my father's bed for one day, leaving me with regrets for life. Now my mother is seriously ill and is in decline and till the evening, just like the dew of the morning and wind, and I hope to return to my hometown day and night. I beg the emperor to give me kindness and let me return home. The envoy can settle the morning and evening, and prepare the medicine to provide my mother with the rest of her life, which is like the kindness above the heavens.

I have not fulfilled my elixir, and my descendants will serve as dogs and horses for generations!

And after submitting this memorial, he closed his door to thank the guests and said that he would not come back to take the matter back.

The attitude of asking for a walk can be said to be very firm.

But 'the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop'. Now, how can Mr. Zhang retreat just by saying that he can retreat?

His retirement plan was completely beyond the expectations of Wanli and his son and officials. The crowd was shocked for a while, and everyone was very confused. I wonder what the hell was selling in the gourd of Xianggong Zhang?

In fact, when a minister tells the emperor that "the high rank cannot be stolen for a long time, and the great power cannot be resident for a long time", there is no need to doubt his determination to ask for it...

However, sadly, both his gangsters and all officials in the court tend to be that Zhang Xianggong is taking the opportunity to consolidate his power and see who dares not be united with him.
