Chapter 404 The palace examination is about to begin!!
Although there were divergent opinions inside and outside the court, Ye Xuan remained unaffected.
Even after submitting the list, Ye Xuan did not go to see Zhu Yuanzhang directly. Instead, he rested for half a day before starting to prepare for the palace examination.
In Jinshen Hall, when a list that was twice as big as before was sent in, Zhu Yuanzhang had a strange expression on his face.
He pointed at the list and asked Renang, "What is this?"
Ren Ang quickly explained: "Your Majesty, this is the examination list prepared by Ye Xuan!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was startled, but then returned to his original expression.
He reached out and took the list, then slowly unfolded it.
When the last name appeared in his field of vision, Zhu Yuanzhang could hardly close his mouth from ear to ear.
You know, as long as you enter the list of the palace examination, you can get an official position.
Although they are not big or even of high quality, the Ming Dynasty is now employing people. No matter what official position they obtain, it is equivalent to solving the urgent needs of the court.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction, Ren Ang felt terrified, fearing that Zhu Yuanzhang would have other speculations and then get angry and implicate himself.
When he first saw the list, he almost suspected that these were the list of eliminated candidates.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to understand why Ye Xuan, who has always been strict, would choose such a large number.
Thinking of the previous test questions, Ren Ang became more and more convinced of the folk speculation.
Just when Ren Ang was thinking wildly, Zhu Yuanzhang finally spoke.
"Yes, Ye Xuan also put in the trouble this time. Although he didn't come in person, we can't give him a reward without giving anything."
After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang said to the eunuch on the side: "Give Ye Xuan five thousand gold and silver each, and give his wife the title of fifth-grade imperial edict!"
In this era, Mrs. Gaoming did not have an outstanding status because she had many ministers.
But in history books and in the eyes of the people, this is extremely respected.
Even though she was only a fifth-grade woman, even a wife with the position of prime minister and assistant might not be easy to get.
Such a favor showed that Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with it.
Seeing this, Ren Ang hurriedly thanked Ye Xuan for his kindness.
He just bowed and before he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang had already continued speaking.
"Ren Ang, there are too many people attending this palace examination. Where do you think it is most suitable to hold it?"
Ren Ang swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips, then his mind turned quickly and he really came up with an idea.
He reminded Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, outside the Fengtian Palace, it is the place where the court meets. It is a good place there. It can not only express your expectations for them, but also express the importance of the court!"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and felt that this was indeed a good idea, so he nodded and settled the matter directly.
After sending Ren Ang away, Mao Xiang approached Zhu Yuanzhang with a strange expression.
Glancing at Mao Xiang, Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Is there something wrong?"
Mao Xiang hurriedly explained: "That's not true, it's just that Your Majesty, there are a lot of discussions among the people right now, and Mr. Ye has received a lot of criticism!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned again, and then a burst of curiosity arose in his heart.
He asked: "Is it possible that Ye Xuan made a big fuss again this time? But he is quite behaved this time, so he can't still be criticized, right?"
Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang did not realize that the protagonist this time might be himself until this moment.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang like this, Mao Xiang smiled bitterly, but he didn't dare not answer.
He could only say in a low voice: "Your Majesty, many people secretly spread the rumor this time that you pushed Mr. Ye too hard, so Mr. Ye had no choice but to relax the admission standards [lower the difficulty of the test questions]."
At the end of the story, Mao Xiang couldn't speak any more, and his look at Zhu Yuanzhang became very strange.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he knew that there must be something else he had not said that would displease him.
If it had been anyone else, perhaps they would have stopped asking questions at this moment.
But Zhu Yuanzhang's character is paranoid and serious, so he will naturally not listen to what is behind him at this moment.
So he ordered Mao Xiang: "Today we will pardon your innocence, just say whatever you want! Otherwise, we will punish you together and count you as deceiving the emperor!"
Mao Xiang naturally did not dare to hide what Zhu Yuanzhang said.
He said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, some people say that Mr. Ye's selection of so many people is a rebellion against you, and he is deliberately disgusting you!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his expression became a little strange.
But after thinking about it carefully, he denied this possibility.
After calming his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "It's just a folk joke, just catching on to catch the wind and don't take it seriously!"
When Mao Xiang heard this, he felt much relieved and quickly thanked him.
……………………Please give me flowers………………
But after appeasing Mao Xiang, Zhu Yuanzhang also thought of another thing.
In his opinion, Ye Xuan's work this time, although he was very satisfied with it, had also aroused various discussions among the people.
Youdao is more about guarding the people's mouth than guarding the rivers. Although Zhu Yuanzhang can not take it seriously, it does not mean that he can really not care about it. 【013004517 Feilu161181281】
And thinking of Ye Xuan's various previous behaviors, Zhu Yuanzhang was also worried that Ye Xuan would continue to make trouble in the future.
Even if Ye Xuan was well-intentioned, it was a bit too much to admit so many people to the imperial examination.
If Ye Xuan continues to make the admission conditions so broad later, then his selection of talents this time may become a joke.
After some weighing, Zhu Yuanzhang finally made up his mind.
........O
He greeted the eunuch outside the palace: "Have you sent out the previous decree?"
The eunuch quickly replied: "It took some time to transfer the silver, but it has been sent to School Disciple!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then said: "Okay, send a horse to catch up with the envoy and ask him to deliver another oral message to Ye Xuan!"
After a slight pause, Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Tell him that he has been working hard recently. The palace examination is a major matter of the country and consumes his mind. We really can't bear to let him work alone, so we decided to preside over this palace examination personally!"
Because Ye Xuan was not at home, even though the two envoys set off one after the other and were separated from each other for a long time, they did not delay the class to follow Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions.
After getting the will, Ye Xuan was naturally happy and relaxed, and he didn't care about what might be behind it.
After all, the current situation is that Zhu Yuanzhang wants to recruit talents for the country, so he will give him a chance.
If he continues to insist on his intention at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang will lose face and may also cause other troubles.
However, Ye Xuan got benefits and relief here, but Ren Ang was a little panicked.
After all, the palace examination suddenly became Zhu Yuanzhang's personal invigilation, which meant that the security guards and specifications had to be adjusted.
The most surprised ones were actually the candidates.
The news spread very quickly, and within half a day, everyone in the Yingtian Mansion was already aware of it. Many candidates began to panic at the thought of facing Zhu Yuanzhang himself.
Some people even stayed up all night to bathe and change clothes, fearing that they would be killed by Zhu Yuanzhang's order for fear of being disrespectful.
