The Ming Dynasty started with caution

The sun was shining brightly in the capital.

The Imperial Academy's chief priests and doctors were all cursing.

The court actually included the School of Mind in the Northern Zhili Autumn Examination.

"Your Majesty actually issued an imperial decree for this, and now it's only two months away from the Autumn Examination?"

The imperial decree cannot be disobeyed.

"Since Lord Zhang has agreed, we can only do it, but what does Wang Shouren mean by letting the students go to Liangxiang?"

If you want to give lectures, just come to the Imperial Academy. Can the Liangxiang library accommodate 3,000 candidates?

Add the scholars in Liangxiang, there are probably 5,000 or 6,000 people.

"After all, it's an imperial decree, let's let them go to Liangxiang first."

The students of the Imperial Academy were surprised. The court has always used the Four Books and Five Classics to recruit officials, but suddenly changed to the School of Mind.

This made many students curious about the School of Mind.

The court issued two imperial decrees in a row, announcing to the world: The Autumn Examination in Northern Zhili will not be too difficult, so it should not be too difficult.

The gate of the Imperial College was opened.

The students in blue Confucian robes lined up in a long line, like a thick stream of water, walking on the street.

At this time, the scholars of Liangxiang rushed into the wide training ground behind the library, feeling excited.

The students of the Imperial College had the lectures of the doctors in the palace, but they could only read the scriptures by themselves.

This way, it would be fair.

Yan Song regretted not listening to Wang Shouren's lectures on the heart earlier, and waited for Wang Shouren to start the lecture with a cushion to make up for his knowledge.

The students of the Imperial College rushed into the training ground one after another.

Yan Chengjin said to Wang Shouren: "If Brother Bo'an wants the students to understand the unity of knowledge and action, why not let them dig canals.

Fangshan has many wastelands that need to be reclaimed, which will benefit the country and the people."

Wang Shouren's eyes moved slightly.

Could it be that the heart test question of this autumn exam is to control water?

In the Fengtian Hall, when Emperor Hongzhi ran to the Jinshui Bridge breathlessly, Xiao Jing handed over a golden silk handkerchief.

"Wang Shouren taught the School of Mind in Liangxiang. How did the students react?"

Wang Shouren asked the students to dig ditches. Xiao Jing said cautiously: "It's only been one day and there are complaints. Wang Shouren didn't teach the School of Mind, but asked the students to dig ditches."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned. Is this the teaching method of the School of Mind?

How can a person who reads sages do such things?

Mou Bin walked quickly and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, Yang Yiqing has returned to Beijing and is seeking an audience in the Fengtian Hall. There is an urgent report!"

At this time, Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Houzhao came to Emperor Hongzhi to pay his respects, but saw Yang Yiqing standing in the hall, "Master Yang, how is the horse policy in the northwest?"

Yang Tinghe turned around and saw Zhu Houzhao, and said reluctantly: "Not bad."

Zhu Houzhao was suspicious. Master Yang was not right. It was clear that he had something urgent to report.

After a while, Emperor Hongzhi came directly to the Fengtian Hall without changing his dragon robe.

Yang Yiqing, who had been eliminating bandits and thieves in the northwest, has finally returned to the capital: "Your Majesty, Dayan Khan and Alqi have assembled an army of 100,000, and Yansui is in urgent need of help."

Hetao is a must-fight place for the Tatars, more important than Liaodong.

The court is in the northwest, using boulders and concrete to build the Great Wall.

Once completed, the northwest will be impregnable, and Dayan Khan's counterattack came from this.

Emperor Hongzhi's whole body tensed up and asked anxiously: "How can the Tatars have so many troops?"

Yang Yiqing raised his head slightly and uttered four words: "There are Wala people!"

After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols split into two groups and withdrew from the Central Plains.

One group is the Tatars, who are descendants of Genghis Khan, have royal blood, and are called the Golden Family.

One group is the Wala, who are foreign ministers attached to Genghis Khan.

The frequent wars between the court and the Tatars have led to the growing strength of the Wala in the north.

But the Wala and the Tatars also compete for territory, so why were they persuaded by Dayan Khan?

"More importantly, Dayan Khan is still gathering the captives to take back Hetao in one fell swoop." Yang Yiqing gritted his teeth.

The most powerful thing about the Tatars is the cavalry.

A hundred thousand troops are enough to break through the border town of Yansui, and usually they gather troops from three sides to fight against it.

But now the Tatars have invited the Oirat, and the troops from Gansu and Ningxia have been transferred. If they encounter the Oirat army, Hetao will also be lost.

"The three sides are in danger, and the court needs to send the Beijing camp to Yansui."

Yang Yiqing didn't have time to think about why the Oirat would form an alliance with the Tatars.

The most urgent task is to protect Hetao.

Zhu Houzhao blinked his eyes and bowed: "Father, I will take my leave."

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at him and annoyedly told him to get out.

Zhu Houzhao ran back to the East Palace happily and pulled out the brocade box hidden under the quilt, which had a total of more than 58,000 taels.

However, there was a note written by Yan Chengjin: This paper is worth 30,000 taels.

Yansui is in urgent need of help. This money of mine can recruit an army of 1,000 people!

Now I have to find Lao Gao to exchange the money for the money. This guy should not default on his debt.

Arriving at the duty room of the Censorate, Zhu Houzhao drove the civil servants out.

Yan Chengjin frowned: "What are you doing in the Censorate?"

Bang!

A white note appeared on the desk.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "I am here to exchange the money for the money. You don't want to default on the debt, do you?"

"I always keep my promises, but..." Yan Chengjin raised his head slightly: "Isn't it good for your Highness to take this piece of paper? Why do you want to change it for silver?"

"This is my money. You can change it if you want."

Yan Chengjin lowered his head and thought. The only place where Zhu Houzhao was willing to spend the money was to fight.

This guy kept talking about killing Dayan Khan all day long. Did he want to slip away from the pass?

"Fang Xue!"

Fang Xue walked in and bowed: "Lord Yan!"

"Did the court send back any urgent reports from the border today?"

"No."

Zheng Qian was in the northwest supervising the construction of the Great Wall. As long as there was any enemy situation, he would send back a report.

Zhu Houzhao usually received news in the Fengtian Hall, so it was impossible for him to get it faster than the Censorate.

But Yan Chengjin still asked: "Your Highness wants money to recruit troops?"

Zhu Houzhao looked calm: "With so many royal guards watching, how can I leave the capital? Please give me your money quickly."

Yan Chengjin thought about it carefully and thought it would be better to send someone to check it out: "Your Highness, please go back to the palace first. I will raise money and send it to you tomorrow."

Zhu Houzhao values ​​​​brotherly loyalty and must give this money.

You can report it to Your Majesty and get the silver back together with the 50,000 taels that Zhu Houzhao kept!

"Then you can send it to the East Palace tomorrow."

Late at night, the new moon is like a hook.

In the pavilion of Li Mansion, the maid held a lantern, and the yellowish light reflected on the water, making the broken light sparkle.

Li Dongyang raised his wine glass and said with great interest: "Brother Ying Ning has made a great contribution in annihilating the bandits in the northwest and restoring peace to the people."

"Hey, the northwest is not peaceful now. Brother Bin will know about it tomorrow morning."

Yang Yiqing raised his head and looked at Li Dongyang: "Yan Chengjin changed the imperial examination?"

"Well, it will only be tried in Beizhili. This boy lives in the East District, not far from my official residence. I will order him to be summoned."

"Young brother, remember, you won't be leaving home this midnight, right?"

"Brother, I have a solution."

Li Dongyang turned around and gave instructions to his servants.

Soon, Yan Chengjin appeared in the Li Mansion and agreed to have a night party with Qing'e...

When he saw Li Dongyang sitting in the pavilion, he knew that he had been lured there deliberately and was about to turn around and run away.

"I haven't seen you for a year, Master Yan!"

Yan Chengjin's voice sounded familiar, but he realized it was Yang Yiqing.

"Why are Master Yang back?"

"Something big happened in the northwest, and I need to come back in person." Yang Yiqing looked at him.

Yan Chengjin felt bad and walked into the pavilion: "But the Loop is in danger?"

Yang Yiqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Exactly."

this……

Is Zhu Houzhao already on his way to Loop?
