"Your Majesty is here!"

Duke Cheng, who was originally sitting on a chair, jumped up immediately when he heard the sound and rushed out to pick him up with a radiant look.

Zhang Juzheng and Yang Bo also hurriedly followed.

"His Majesty remember the wrong day?"

Wang Ting and Mao Kai looked at each other and felt that this was a coincidence. Why did Master Xu lie down and His Majesty come?

The two old men didn't even bother to think too much, so they quickly went out to welcome them.

Then he saw Emperor Longqing wearing a vermilion swallow suit and a black winged crown. With the help of Teng Xiang and Feng Bao, he got off the imperial chariot with a spring breeze on his face.

"You all, please calm down." Long Qing smiled and helped Duke Cheng with a smile. Zhu Xizhong stood up with his legs and feet, bowed to support the emperor for Chen Hong.

"The old minister and all the lords should do their jobs wholeheartedly. How dare you disturb the emperor?"

"Hey, husband. If you say that, this is my first big competition." Emperor Longqing smiled and said, "I, the chief examiner, can't come up and be the boss."

As he said that, he pretended to look around and looked around.

"Hey, where is Yuanfu?"

"Go back to Your Majesty." Zhang Xianggong Shun's silky long beards and replied coolly: "Yuan Fu felt uncomfortable. He was bed resting today, and he had already come to know."

"Is that true? It doesn't matter?" Emperor Longqing said with a tight look on his face.

"It shouldn't be a big deal. I said I would lie down for a while and come over when I can get out of bed." Zhang Juzheng took advantage of the opportunity to introduce his condition and hinted to the emperor.

Long Qing knew what he meant, so he said to Teng Xiang: "You took the imperial physician to visit Yuan Fu for me, and said it was my will. Please ask Yuan Fu to stay in bed for two days. I have me here, so he doesn't have to worry."

Dundun said again: "And Xu Fan, let him put down all the errands at hand and take good care of his old father these two days."

"Yes." Eunuch Teng responded and went to pass the order.

"Okay, everyone, Yuan Fu is not here, we have to work harder." The emperor clapped his hands and walked into Wenhua Palace first.

"Your Majesty is really a dragon horse spirit!" Duke Cheng immediately gave his flattery today. "This is so lucky to be a disciple."

"Oh, haha, it's all for the matter." Emperor Longqing was in a good mood, and he was movable and acted like a big fight.

The big guys looked at each other and looked at Mr. Zhang, hoping that the second-ranked Xu Dang would make an idea.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Juzheng only spread his hands and followed him into the hall.

"What does it mean to spread your hands?"

Wang Ting looked at Mao Kai, Mao Kai looked at Lei Li, and Lei Li looked at Ma Sen. These four ministries were all confidants promoted by Mr. Xu, known as the Four Kings of the Xu Party. Seeing that the deputy leader did not give instructions, they were all a little confused at this moment.

"It's just what you should do, just do what you should do." Yang Bo was quite gloating, patted Wang Zongxian on the shoulder, and followed him in.

~~

In the Golden Palace, the emperor was promoted to his seat.

The eleventh paper-reading officer were all confused and stood there at a loss.

The routine they are familiar with is to first set most of the rankings, and then leave more than a dozen copies for reading the papers... and these dozens of papers must include the top ten in the exam results.

When Mixed Officer completes Mixed Officer and packs the test papers, he will deliberately place the top ten papers in the last sheet of each bundle. Therefore, examiners can find them without looking at the name.

For example, Huiyuan scroll must be placed in the last picture of the character "Gui" bundle; the tenth place is the last picture of the character "Jia" bundle...

The readers of the paper found these ten people and put them aside with a few lucky ones.

When the emperor arrives at Wenhua Hall tomorrow, the emperor will be held in front of the imperial examination officer and then the top ten will be decided.

Now that the emperor has arrived a day early, what should we do?

Emperor Longqing was a little happy. In the past, he was fooled by these big guys, but this time he finally fooled them once.

Zhang Juzheng had the decision-making ability and immediately ordered Zhu Dashou to start reading the papers for the emperor.

Zhu Dashou quickly picked up the fourth place in the imperial examination and tried his firepower, and began to recite it in front of the imperial court.

Emperor Longqing patiently listened to this three thousand words of policy and looked at the leaking pot at the corner of the hall. It had almost two quarters of an hour passed.

He thought to himself that the reader only prepared twelve copies. It was dark after listening to it, and it was useless no matter how many more.

"I don't know what your Majesty's Holy Will?" Zhang Juzheng asked for instructions.

Looking at Master Zhang's cool eyes, Emperor Longqing returned in a trance, and the heart-to-heart talks between the king and his ministers that day.

~~

That day, in the east warm pavilion of Ganqing Palace, Emperor Longqing held Master Zhang's hand and cried:

"Whatever I say now, people will pick the wrong things about everything I do. It's not just one or two people, but a bunch of people together."

"Every time I give my opinion, someone will definitely jump out and say that my ideas are immature and incomplete. Then a group of people agreed to quote the classics to prove how naive my ideas are and what unimaginable consequences it will cause."

Then he heard Emperor Longqing's grievances and said:

"I am also the emperor, and I also want face. Every time I open my mouth, I will be covered in dust and lose all my face. You said that after all these few times, who would be willing to speak again?"

"I thought to myself, okay, then I'll shut up, you said it? Who knew that after a month, they said that I had an intelligence problem? I said it was like an idiot."

"I was so angry that I wanted to punish several censors for venting their anger, but they were all stopped by Master Xu. Master Zhang, do you think it was you who would be willing to go to court?"

"So I simply hid in the palace, and I was blinded..."

Zhang Ju listened in a deep voice, thinking that if it were me, it would have been like your father, who would have been unable to take care of themselves.

He was a bystander, so he naturally understood that the civil servants were playing, and he was still trying to attack Xinjun's trick.

When the late emperor Jiajing first ascended the throne, he suffered much more miserable than Emperor Longqing.

Because Jiajing was a vassal king who succeeded the throne, shortly after ascending the throne, the civil servant group headed by the chief assistant Yang Tinghe asked the emperor to change his parents according to the old rules of succession in the Han and Song dynasties, and recognized Emperor Hua and Empress Dowager Zhang as their parents. Jiajing insisted on refusing, so the two sides launched a long-lasting fierce battle over who was Jiajing's father and whether Jiajing's biological father could be added to the emperor's title.

At the climax of the struggle, the old master of the little Pavilion, Yang Shen, led 240 court officials, knelt at Zuoshunmen and cried and complained.

Yang Dacaizi raised his arms and shouted a famous saying:

"The country has raised its 150th anniversary, and the day of death is today!"

He threatened everyone, "Now if there are those who do not fight hard, they will fight together!"

The result caused a crying door that shocked the world.

Jiajing asked the eunuchs from the palace to persuade them but failed, so he had to order the Jinyiwei to kill the chicken to warn the monkey and arrest eight of them to imprison them.

As a result, Yang Shen and the ministers cried loudly, and the crying sounds spread through the three halls to the Ganqing Palace.

Emperor Jiajing was furious and directly sent five hundred Han... generals to stole all officials below the fourth rank and below the court. Afterwards, he sent Yang Shen and others as the leader to serve as the army, which gradually suppressed the arrogance of civil officials.

But Zhang Juzheng could not persuade Emperor Longqing, just fight.

He knew very well that the country had a benevolent and forgiving king, which was actually a blessing for the officials and the people. Once the emperor released the devil in his heart, the situation would be out of control.

So Zhang Juzheng suggested to Emperor Longqing:

"This group of censors is too thorny, so let's change to another group of people who are willing to listen to His Majesty."

~~

"No, first, this article is not good, so I'll take it down."

In Master Zhang's encouraging eyes, Emperor Longqing finally plucked up the courage to say what he said most like the emperor since he ascended the top:

"Second, it's too slow to read the paper like this, so I'll take it for me to read it myself."
