Chapter 152 The Emperor’s Joy and Anger

Zhang Yue did not come to participate in the election "due to illness", but even if others knew that the Imperial Academy was only for nobles, they would not let it go. After all, this was a great opportunity to get close to the emperor. Therefore, except for him and Shuji, who were definitely selected for the Imperial Academy

The top three scholars were selected for the Wuxu Department, and the remaining 246 Jinshi from the undergraduate program were naturally present. To be selected into the Hanlin Academy, the first thing you need is outstanding literary talent, so after three exams, the Jinshi were actually

I don’t think it’s any easier than the imperial examination, even the examiner’s invigilation is extremely strict.

Although Yang Rong sent people to check on Zhang Yue's illness, he felt in his heart that his "sickness" was just right - this would not cause people to point fingers and say that there was something wrong with the ranking of the top two, nor would it really lead to him being admitted.

He wasted time in the capital at the Hanlin Academy - of course, he had deeper considerations, but this was not enough for outsiders. When reporting the election results, Zhu Di thoughtfully asked why there was no Zhang Yue.

, he strengthened the understanding in his heart.

"Your Majesty, he fell ill just before the election, which is really a pity."

"Oh, are you sick?" Zhu Di nodded thoughtfully, picked up a memorial next to him, and asked casually while reading it, "Besides him, there are other people who have not attended the museum due to illness.

Do you want to choose?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, he is the only one missing from the current imperial examination."

"This is surprising!" Zhu Di continued to look at the memorial in his hand without raising his head, but said in his mouth, "Although his articles are not top-notch, they are still good. As long as the reader does not deliberately depose him, this Hanlin

It is not difficult to get a Shujishi. However, he is Zhang Fu's nephew. There seems to be some rumors about him being a Jinshi before. If he wins another Hanlin Shujishi, I am afraid some people will not be able to think about it. His disease

It’s quite clever and saves a lot of things!”

Yang Rong was wondering whether the words "sickly clever" were a compliment or had some other meaning. Unexpectedly, Zhu Di, who had been so easy-going just now, suddenly shouted angrily: "This beast, he really thinks that I don't know anything."

!”

This sudden anger caught Yang Rong off guard. In the moment of his daze, Zhu Di actually broke the memorial in his hand and threw it out. At this time, a young eunuch happened to bring tea to him on a carved lacquer tea tray. The memorial was no coincidence.

It happened to hit him in the face. His vision went dark and he immediately stepped on the air. The tea tray and even the tea cup in his hand immediately flew out. In the already stiff atmosphere of the hall, there was a clear and crisp sound.

Extremely heart-wrenching.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Di shouted angrily: "Throw it out and kill with the stick!"

Although Yang Rong didn't care about an insignificant eunuch, however, seeing the young eunuch who was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old being dragged out by two strong Jinyi guards who hurried in, his mouth was blocked and he couldn't make any sound.

But his legs were still kicking hard, and he felt as if something was blocked in his chest and he couldn't breathe. This was not the first time he had experienced the emperor's moody temper. However, Zhu Di's temper had become increasingly violent over the years.

He was so violent that his heart was frightened.

"He actually has the nerve to say something to me about Cheng Huan's knees. It would be great if I don't get mad at him! Yang Rong, prepare a decree for me. Tell that little beast to stay with me in Le'an Prefecture, Shandong Province. If he

If you dare to take that step, I..." Zhu Di took a deep breath. There was a hint of violence on his face, "If he is conceited about his bravery, then he will take his soldiers and give it a try to see if those guys are good enough.

Will you listen to his orders, or will you listen to my betrayal?"

This is naturally the King of Han who has been driven to Le'an Prefecture in Shandong Province. Although Yang Rong was extremely dissatisfied with the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu, facing Zhu Di's angrily reprimanding him, he couldn't help but feel worried and hurriedly retreated to his own

He sat down on his seat and polished the ink himself, and in a moment he concocted an edict. He knew Zhu Di's temper well. After drafting it, he handed it over with both hands, but then talked and laughed and said a few other things, as if Zhu Di had never been there before.

Thunder was furious.

"Hmm."

After seeing the edict prepared by Yang Rong, Zhu Di put it aside casually, and the anger on his face really disappeared. Because Yang Shiqi stayed as an assistant to the prince, Hu Guang died of illness. Today, only Yang Rong is on duty in the cabinet. This side

While dealing with state affairs, he casually asked questions here and there. Suddenly he asked another question.

"I killed Zhou Mian and demoted Liang Qian. What did the prince say?"

Although this was an unprepared question, Yang Rong was not an ordinary person. He had an idea and immediately replied: "Your Majesty forgot that the Crown Prince had previously submitted an apology form, saying that he was unworthy of being deceived by others, and now he regrets it."

It's too late. Besides, there are Shiqi serving and advising the prince, so the prince will naturally not believe these requests in the future, and those treacherous villains will no longer be able to deceive the prince."

"Zhou Mian is a villain, but Liang Qian is not a villain." Zhu Di laughed dumbly at this time, but then he remembered Du Zhen who interceded for Liang Qian, "Du Yishan has been in office for some time, and the chief minister is here every day.

There are memorials, but luckily for him, no memorials have been sent to him in one month since he took office! Is there any news from Shandong?"

Yang Rong was still on guard against Zhu Di's continued questioning of Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi, but unexpectedly, the supreme leader suddenly changed the subject. After recharging his energy, he suddenly felt as if he was ready to punch out his opponent, and he didn't even mention it in his mind.

How uncomfortable. However, Zhu Di's temper was like this, so he had to take a deep breath.

"Your Majesty, the activities of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong are no longer a day or two. These rebels have ulterior motives and are cunning. They may not be able to find out anything in a short while. Yishan is mature and prudent, so naturally he will not have any clues to claim credit..."

"You won't come here to plead guilty just because you got nothing at first, but that's what you want to say?" Zhu Di interrupted Yang Rong. Seeing his surprise, he immediately bowed in response. He couldn't help laughing, "Since I

After using him, you can naturally trust him. However, you write a letter and tell that cold-faced man to report it when it is time to report it, don't have to get results! Well, this time when the Ministry of Civil Affairs is selecting officials among the new Jinshi

, you go and inform me, tell me what I mean, and send Zhang Yue to Shandong as well!"

Although Yang Rong had always been calm and composed, he was startled at this time and quickly reminded: "Your Majesty, the White Lotus Sect in Shandong is rampant, if anything happens..."

"Since he is the cousin of the British Duke, how come he can't handle such a small scene?" Zhu Di waved his hand without any doubt, and then said, "Shiqi also proposed this to me, and I think it's quite good.

The children of the aristocratic family usually live in a privileged position. Even if they were seen as capable a few times before, they were just smart and decisive, not considered to be very talented! His teacher is currently in Shandong, and the job of being an envoy is very difficult. If he, a student, is afraid of difficulties,

There won’t be any big prospects in the future!”

Only then did Yang Rong realize that Yang Shiqi actually had such a recommendation, and he regretted what he had just said. After all, he had no contact with the Zhang family. Rather than looking at Du Zhen and Yang Shiqi's face, it was more about considering Zhu Di's character.

In the flash of lightning, he suddenly remembered Meng Xian, the guard commander of Changshan who had just been dismissed the day before yesterday, and his heart suddenly moved.

"I can't guarantee that the friendship between Du Yishan and Zhang Yue's teachers and students is extremely deep. If the officials choose Zhang Yue to go to Shandong, he will only be happy. However, with all due respect, these cousins ​​of the British Duke have already reached the age of marriage.

, Now the eldest brother has made an engagement, and the second brother is said to have fallen in love with someone else, even Zhang Yue. I also heard that the person who comes to his house to propose marriage is about to cross the threshold."

Although Zhu Di is not the kind of emperor who lives in the deep palace of Chui Gong Jiuchen, he is not like the kind of person who pays private visits in private. Even the notorious Jin Yiwei will not report such trivial matters.

After some questioning, he learned that Zhang Yue's marriage was now the most popular issue between the Meng family and the Du family. He pondered for a moment and then laughed.

"I didn't expect that boy Zhang Yue is still very popular." The more Zhu Di thought about it, the more interesting it became. Finally, he couldn't help laughing, "Leaving aside the Meng family, I have never heard that the cold-faced man Du Yishan is interested in him.

He married his own student. Well, well, this marriage is a good one. As a mentor and father-in-law, it will be a good story if word spreads."

Let’s not talk about the so-called Meng family, Yang Rong naturally understands its meaning. Compared with Du Zhen, the first generation of Baoding Hou Mengshan followed Zhu Di to conquer the world. He didn’t know whether he was close or close. If it weren’t for this Meng family, it would not be Baoding.

It's Hou's family, but Meng Xian, I'm afraid Zhu Di is saying it differently at this time. After realizing this, he felt more relaxed.

It seems that although the emperor has doubts about the East Palace, he still has a clear conscience.

So, when he exited Gyeongbokgung Palace, he let out a long sigh, and was so full of expectations for the new batch of blood who were about to enter the Hanlin Academy that when he walked to the Hanlin Academy, he didn't even notice that Zhu Ning, Princess Chenliu, was heading this way.

He came and didn't even notice that the other person was stopping not far away. He waited until he passed by and then stared at his back thoughtfully.

The maid on the side didn't know what Zhu Ning was looking at Yang Rong, so she asked in confusion: "Princess, don't you go to Gyeongbokgung Palace to intercede for the Meng family?"

"When did you hear that I wanted to plead for the Meng family?"

Zhu Ning turned around and glared at the maid coldly, until she timidly took a few steps back and lowered her head deeply. Then she raised her head and looked at the red tiles with double eaves of Gyeongbokgung Palace, missing the Prince Zhou's Mansion in Kaifeng in her heart.

She was once happy to be treated better than the princess because of the princess, but now she has long passed the age of a pampered girl. At least, she still has a clear mind about what should be said and what should not be said.

Moreover, when I met Meng Min yesterday, although she mentioned that her father was demoted, her speech was somewhat relaxed, and she was not like some superficial ladies who complained and cried endlessly. Why should she go and help?
