Actually, originally, the examiner for the Wanli five-year examination should have been Zhang Siwei. Shen Shixing should be the deputy chief examiner.
However, Xiaowei has always been in bad luck and has committed crimes against Lilliput. Several attempts to recover in the past few years have ended in failure. He has basically guessed who is secretly messing with him.
Therefore, I have no intention of leaving the country during the reign of Princess Zhang. I can only cultivate myself in the big house covering an area of ??more than 200 acres, and wait for the world to change.
Therefore, Shen Shixing, the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was able to serve as the examiner for one subject in advance. The vacant deputy chief examiner, Yu Youding, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, was originally ranked based on seniority.
However, Xianggong Zhang made an exception and appointed Zhao Shouzheng, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Yu Youding was naturally upset that he was cut in line, but the person who cut him in was Zhao Shouzheng, which made him feel much better. Because of Ningbo's joining the Jiangnan integration, he owed Zhao Hao a favor, so he comforted himself by saying that this time he would just repay the favor
Xu Guo, who was ranked behind Yu Youding, was a fellow from She County of Zhao Shouzheng. And his eldest brother Xu Gu is also the chairman of Huizhou Development Corporation
Behind Xu Guo is Wang Xijue, who can no longer be as strong as his own people
These three elder brothers all said that there was no problem, so the people behind them would have no reason to make any noise.

After sending for the exam, Zhao Hao returned to Zhaojia Hutong as soon as his genius was revealed. After breakfast, he took Xiao Jing and the elephant turtle and went straight to Dashamao Hutong.
As for my godmother, I can only go there tomorrow.
It is rare for my father-in-law to be at home today, because his eldest son Jingxiu and second son Xiu also have to participate in this Spring Festival
Although Xianggong Zhang talks about the Heavenly Constitution and sits on the dragon's bed, he still cannot escape the customs at this moment. Like all old fathers who hope that their children will succeed, he asks the emperor for a day off to take the exam.
Zhang Juzheng had just sent away Jingxiu and Sixiu. He had a rare day off and was about to take another nap. When he heard that his daughter and son-in-law came to the door, he immediately lost all sleep. He jumped out of bed and stepped on the floor tiles with his bare feet. He was so happy that he almost shed tears and said: "This is Damn girl, she¡¯s willing to come back, I don¡¯t know she¡¯s going to worry me to death!¡±
While Mrs. Gu was putting on his shoes, she said with a smile: "Then let them in quickly. I almost miss Xiao Jing."
"That's still no way!" However, Xianggong Zhang suddenly changed his mind, shook off his shoes, lay down again and said, "Let them wait! Let them taste the suffering of waiting"
"Master, why are you acting like a child?" Mrs. Gu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I haven't been away for more than three years. It's your daughter you should scold?!" Zhang Juzheng groaned, resting his head on the pillow, and warned his wife: "You are not allowed to go out and sleep with Bu Gu! And Mao Even if they are being repaired, none of them are allowed to show up!"
Mrs. Gu was helpless, but she didn't dare to disobey Zhang Juzheng, otherwise he would really get angry so she asked the maid to tell the young couple to calm down, Lao Taishan was losing his temper.
Over there, Zhao Hao had already anticipated this. Hearing this, he said to the maid who was delivering the message: "I'm just waiting here for my father-in-law to calm down. Let's take Xiao Jing in to rest first."
As he spoke, he gestured to his stomach. The maid's eyes suddenly lit up and she looked at the young lady happily, and sure enough she saw Xiao Jing nodding shyly.

In the bedroom, Zhang Juzheng was leaning on the bed, but his ears were open, listening to what was going on outside.
Outside, the maid reported back to Madam with a happy face. She didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but Mrs. Gu was shocked.
"Really? Oh my god"
Mr. Zhang couldn't lie down now. He sat up and patted the bed and shouted, "What kind of evil have they done again? Even if I invite the King of Heaven, I will never forgive them easily!"
"Congratulations, master, congratulations, master." Mrs. Gu then came in with a smile and said a blessing: "Your daughter is happy"
"Oh?" Zhang Juzheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said with a complex expression: "My daughter is going to suffer. It's too late for me to feel heartbroken. I'm so happy"
Even so, he immediately glared at the maid and said, "Why don't you let the lady in quickly? Don't you want her to be exhausted?"
"Go back to the master, my servant asked the young lady to come in, but she said" The maid said timidly: "When you marry, you will obey your husband. The husband will sit on the bench, and the wife cannot be allowed to sit on the hot bed."
"This is to conquer my army! Who is she on the same side with?!" Zhang Xianggong was so angry that he was shaking: "I don't believe it. I can rule the world obediently, but I can't rule this family. !¡±

During the tea time, Mr. Zhang came out with a dark face. He sat down on the chair, groaning angrily and saying nothing.
Mrs. Gu sat down next to him and said angrily: "Huh, no."My child feels that time is not waiting for me, father-in-law" Zhao Hao wanted to persuade him again.
"Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes, and you can't grab your beard and eyebrows." Zhang Juzheng waved his hand and said without doubt:
"You may not know it when you are overseas in these years. Since the implementation of the imperial examination law in the first year of Wanli, the officialdom has just been rectified, money and food have been accumulated to a certain extent, and border troubles have been basically calmed down. It is precisely while continuing to rest with the people, while steadily doing big things It's time - whether it's to control Huang, implement a whip law across the country, or clear the land, even to put down the rebellion in Burma, it is much more important than opening up the territory! We must first stabilize the Ming Dynasty, and then talk about America and Africa. kind!"
"If you rashly expand the territory at this time, and it is an enclave tens of thousands of miles away, it will make the people's hearts that have been united with great effort disperse. If it is not as simple as you said, let the court If you fall into the quagmire like Annan did back then, the consequences will be disastrous!" As he spoke, he sighed softly:
"In short, we must first solve these life-and-death issues before we can dream about making the people rich and the country strong, and dominating thousands of miles. Do you understand?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
