Transmigrating To The Ming Dynastys Imperial Examination - Chapter 278
The high **** rushed to grab someone and got on the sedan chair. The little eunuchs who came with him were a step behind, took Cui Xie’s official uniform, boots, hats, and tooth card, and then helped him change it outside Zuo Shun’s door.
When I arrived outside the gate of Dexijiao, I saw that Xie Ying had already waited there first. Seeing him entering the door, there was a burst of brilliance in his eyes, and there seemed to be a lot to say. But Yuqian was not the place to talk. The two exchanged glances silently. They both stood under the steps, bowing their heads respectfully, waiting for the emperor to summon them.
Soon a servant led the two into the Wenhua Hall and saw the emperor Hongzhi in regular clothes. The emperor’s face was radiant, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of stretched smiles, and he ordered his servant: “Mr. Cui, thank you for your seat. Give the side report to the two adults!”
The two of them sat down and read the side newspaper together.
This is a side report issued in February, and the content is similar to what Gao Eunuch said. It is exactly the whole story of Ganzhou commanding the defeat of the Tatar Little Prince. In this battle, the brick-powder cement they had worked out actually played a big role, stopping the looting cavalry from charging under the city.
At the end of last year, they presented a recipe made of indigenous cement. After the Ministry of Engineering tried the effect, they pushed the recipe to the nine sides. Ma Wensheng, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, made another memorial, begging to rebuild the Great Wall along the nine sides. The emperor did his best, and ordered the Ministry of War to transport more lime and plaster to the border, and asked the locals to make arrangements to build and strengthen the city.
In the city, the four commanders of Shaanxi Xingdu Division and the two commanders of Ganzhou guard demolished many old houses in the city during the New Year, thickened the city wall by several inches, and raised the arrow stacks outside the wall. Both the Invala and Tatar tribes inherited the excellent tactics of the cavalry of the former Yuan Dynasty. In order to deal with the cavalry rushing art, several commanders built a circle around the city to resist the horses and cemented the cement into sharp vertebrae. Buried in the wasteland outside the city.
When the little prince hit Ganzhou in early February, weeds had grown outside the city, covering the concrete spine. Lukou thought that the Juma outside Ganzhou City was an ordinary wooden Juma, and he didn’t know that the originally flat ground had buried something more sinister than the plum blossom pile, and dozens of good horses were broken in one rush.
If they want to get close to the city gate, they can only lead horses on foot and give up their best horse warfare; if they don’t give up, they have to shoot arrows outside the concrete forest, and they can’t shoot a city that has been raised several feet. The arrows, throwing stones, flasks, and shells from the city can severely damage the Tatar soldiers and horses.
The captives besieged the city for several days and suffered heavy casualties. After a stalemate for several days, they had to retreat. At this time, the commander Li Qing categorically ordered people to open the city gates and pave a road leading to the grassland with pre-poured bamboo-reinforced concrete slabs. The court soldiers and horses quickly covered up from behind, leaving more than three hundred. Class and captive.
The emperor was delighted and ordered people to pass the first level sent from Ganzhou to the nine sides, in order to revive the army. The officers beheaded and those with meritorious service were promoted to one level, and they were given a thousand pennies. And the one who resisted the enemy at the border, and the one who made the cement also had the merit, the emperor specially summoned Xie and Cui to come here to encourage and reward them face to face.
Because both of them are newly promoted officials, the relocation is too fast. It should be Yin Yizi who is more suitable for Jin Yiwei.
However, neither of these two have a son, or even a nephew who can be adopted. Xie Yings nephew is the only seedling of his uncles family, and after adopting it, it was the fireworks that broke his benevolence; Cui Xies only second brother gave birth to the eldest son, and he couldnt force his younger brothers to give birth to have a stepnephew. I can’t give birth anymore now.
Only then did the emperor realize that there were still two bachelors in his clan who had no descendants.
The one who concentrates on handling the case and keeps his clothes and morals; the other who is indulging in education and preaching to the world’s students…or has to teach the relationship between the two uncles of the country, and it is so old that he has not married and had children!
According to the old Korean rule, if you don’t have a son, you should push your nephew. But the emperor hesitated when he thought that they had no biological children. Even if they were married now, they would have their sons at the end of the year. When the children grew up, fathers became older, and the fathers earned a lot of merit. Give it to my nephew, who will the weak sons who are born later rely on?
He thought of the beautiful sons and daughters in the palace, so he persuaded them: “You two should also think about yourself. You don’t have to learn from Huo Qubing. You must eliminate the sun and the prisoners before you get married. This Yin Feng decree I will replace you. Keep the two Qings, wait until you think it through.”
Xie Ying only has one cousin, and the world position is to be given to him, so there is no need to think about it. Cui Xie still has to see who can give birth to his two younger brothers and who has a promising son. He is not in a hurry to choose people immediately, so he asks the emperor to allow him to make a decision in the future.
These two people are going straight to the end!
If it werent for the emperor to know that they have always had good morals, they dont raise good children at home, and they dont even go out to act as actors, and focus solely on their careers, they would think they have a long-yang addiction.
He saw that Xie Ying had asked Ji Yin to seal his nephew, so he stopped saying anything, and only persuaded Cui Xie: “Cui Qing is still young, and getting married is not too late at this time. Go back and consider it slowly. Lady, I will have a reward in the future.”
Cui Xie was very moved and reiterated that he had been warned by his ancestors that he could not get married.
Poor.
Father Gao was in tears when he was in the audience, and Zhu Youzhen almost wanted to make an order to separate his brothers from his brothers. However, it is still Confucian filial piety that brothers live on each other. Being an emperor does not force his officials to ignore his brothers and nephew .
The emperor shook his head slightly and stopped mentioning the matter, and ordered his servant: “Please come and see Mr. Cui, the prince, Xie Qing does not need to evade, let him see the heroes of the country today.”
Immediately a servant went to Qingning Palace to deliver the decree. The prince listened, with a faint expression on his face. He took up the posture of the crown prince and said: “Gao Banban and Liu Banban, change clothes for Gu, and go with Gu to see the two adults.”
While changing the clothes for the prince, Liu Gonggong looked at him with concern and pity.
Zhu Houzhao was actually not too shocked and didn’t need comfort.
When he got the copy of the side report, he faintly guessed that there would be a chance to meet Cui Xie, and he was even prepared for the worst.
The worst thing is that Choi Xie also holds the post of Donggong, and becomes his lecturer.
No matter how bad this Mr. Cui was, he couldn’t punish him as an ordinary disciple as the Prince of Donggong. He already has more than a dozen waiters, readers, and orthographers, many of whom have higher status than bachelors. Can he really cover the sky after he comes in?
Impossible, he still has Cheng Zhanshi and Wang Xueshi…
The bachelors who were usually so serious that the little prince would be afraid to think of it had become his spiritual support at this time.
He refreshed himself and walked into the Wenhua Hall with his chest folded. Cui Xie and the two immediately got up and saluted. The prince replied, looked up at the two of them, and sighed in his heart: These two real people are more decent than the ones drawn in the comics. What if they were all like this in the East Palace!
It’s a pity that one of them taught the country’s uncle to handle the case, and the other compiled a comic book for the country’s uncle, so that the young and powerful eunuchs in his palace were arrested when the country’s uncles were investigating the case. Only wives like Gao Banban and Liu Banban were left. .
The prince’s eyes dropped slightly, and he couldn’t bear to look at the two faces that reminded people of sad things, and said in a low voice: “I heard the names of the two adults for a long time, and I have never had the opportunity to see them in person. I saw them today, and I was overjoyed.
The two thanked them, and Hongzhi pointed to Cui Xie and said, “Mr. Cui has only outstanding learning and good character. I have ordered the Shusheren to impersonate the purpose, and I will call him concurrently as the reader of the East Palace. Listen to Mr. Cui’s words, study hard, and applaud me and your mother to rest assured.”
Sure enough!
This Mr. Cui just appeared in the mouths of the uncles, in the books he read, and the memorials were not enough, so he would walk to the Wenhua Hall and become his husband!
The prince couldn’t help but glanced at Cui Xie again, but saw his long eyebrows twisted slightly, his eyes sharp as a sword, and he shot diagonally over his head. That look was even more terrifying than when Mr. Wang Huan found out that he was not studying seriously, so he was so scared that he immediately avoided that gaze, turned his head and saw Futai’s father-in-law next to his father, and then he felt a sense of security again. Calmly asked, “My boy is now reading “The University” and “The Book of Rites” with Mr. Yang and Mr. Zhang. What did Mr. Cui talk about when he came?”
The emperor looked at him indulgently: “Gentlemen not only teach you to study, but also teach you the principles of being a human being, the principles of governing the world, and nurturing your temperament… Mr. Cui has excellent conduct and is good at farming. Every day when Mr. Yang and Mr. Zhang Er finished the main points of the scriptures, they asked Mr. Cui to teach you the Tao of Jiarong.
The country has always been based on farming. The emperor and the queen would personally practice farming ceremony and silkworm ceremony every spring to persuade the people to cultivate and weave.
Emperor Hongzhi knew that the prince usually liked to read comics about farming, and he hoped that his son would grow up to be a good emperor who knew the suffering of the people and the hardships of the crops. Let Cui Xie be his husband. It would be the best of both worlds.
The little prince didn’t feel beautiful at all, and looked at Cui Xie tremblingly.
Choi Xie was standing with her head down, promising to be a good lecturer and try his best to teach him. Those eyes were also slightly drooping, his complexion was gentle and calm, and his brows were relaxed, as if the sharp gaze just now was his illusion.
Zhu Houzhao made him bewildered for a moment with a gentle expression, and asked him courageously: “When Mr. Cui is giving a lecture, can I take the “Daily Agricultural Classic” as a lecture? When I read the book alone, some things are not very clear, thinking Ask Mr. to speak more deeply.”
He actually didn’t dare to look at the comics in front of the gentlemen, but now that the emperor was behind him, and Mr. Cui was the one who compiled the comics, he had the courage to ask.
After asking, he suddenly felt that his idea was really wonderful.
If Mr. Cui agrees, then Mr. Cui is a good gentleman with him, so he need not be afraid; if he is taught that he is not allowed to read comics while listening to the lecture, then he will tell the old gentlemen who told the attendant that this Mr. Cui is a comics. of!
He seemed to have grasped Cui Xie’s handle, and he was not so afraid of this gentleman, his face also showed a little smile as if he was holding a winning ticket.
Cui Xie also smiled, his gaze fell respectfully on the brick in front of him, and confidently replied: “Those things are stamped on the bottom of the minister’s heart. Why do you have to speak to the sermon? Just ask if there is anything that your Highness does not understand. Minister, the minister does not need to read the manuscript.”
The prince opened his mouth slightly, and couldn’t remember how to deal with him. After concentrating on thinking for a while, I really remembered a question that I found to be particularly difficult, and gentlemen must not understand, and turned around to act like a baby to the emperor: “My son has a problem on the “Nong Jing” and wanted to ask him. My husband is too serious, I don’t dare to ask, my father ask Mr. Cui to speak for me.
The emperor looked at him helplessly and indulged, and said with a smile: “Prepare to speak and write, I will beg Mr. for you.”
Of course, Cui Xie did not dare to wait for the emperor to beg him, and took the initiative to ask for orders to give lectures to the prince. The prince thanked him indiscriminately, and immediately shouted “Liu Banban”, asking him to go to Qingning Palace to look at Pea’s crystal mirror.
Like the most common servant, Liu Jin turned around and went out docilely, not daring to look up at the two former ministers. But his surname was destined to attract the attention of Cui Xie and Xie Ying. Before they left the house, their appearance and behavior had been recorded in their hearts.
Although Gao Feng, who is also one of the Eight Tigers, was scanned by the two X-ray eyes, Cui Xie didnt remember his name because he was too transparent in history and was confirming that he was not. Liu was thrown aside afterwards.
