Chapter 1756 Raiders

A few days later, Zhou Shuren stayed after the early court, and several ministers stayed with him.

The emperor pointed to the hanging map, "There is still one-third of the rebuilt river channel that has not been completed."

He was very dissatisfied with last year's progress, but there was nothing he could do about it. There was a lot of snow in the south last year.

Zhou Shuren's heart bleeds every time he looks at it, not only wasting money, but also because too many things were delayed.

The emperor continued: "It must be completed by the end of May this year."

Zhou Shuren has no objection, the money has long been prepared for the major issues related to the people.

Several other Shangshu adults looked at each other, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry hesitated to say: "Your Majesty, one-third of the project is not small."

Your Majesty, "That must be done."

He was really afraid of the flood, and he whipped the corpse of the officials who embezzled the money of the river dam again in his heart.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry shut up, he really needs manpower everywhere, and has a headache.

After discussing several other important matters, the ministers withdrew one after another.

Zhou Shuren and Master Gong walked together, and Master Gong said: "I heard that the youngest son of Lord Hou returned to his hometown to take the exam for talent?"

Zhou Shuren, "You pay attention to me."

Lord Gong smiled, "My youngest son will also take the exam this year."

Zhou Shuren really didn't know, "I remember your youngest son, twenty-two?"

Master Gong's tone was helpless and pampering, "The old lady's lifeblood is protected by the old lady when she gets tired from studying, and she will be able to take the scholar exam tomorrow morning, and it has been delayed until now."

Zhou Shuren, "Your eldest son?"

"Scholars in the 16th examination, the eldest son is not the same as he has to bear the responsibility."

Zhou Shuren snorted, so the youngest son spoiled and grew up, "You're telling me this?"

Mr. Gong thought that he wanted to chat with you to get closer. If there is something to talk about about the child, it is the lifeline of the old son. "Just chat."

As a result, the two of them chatted all the way without being very skillful, mainly because Mr. Gong didn't talk to the point every time.

Zhou Shuren got into the carriage with something in mind,

Thinking back to today's early court, today the emperor is very impatient with the diehards, especially towards Mr. Luo, he didn't give Mr. Luo any face today.

Zhou Shuren pointed his finger. He felt that the emperor wanted to clean up some diehards, and the Luo family was the first to bear the brunt.

In Xiaoliujiacun, the small courtyard where Changzhi lives, he is sitting in the courtyard flipping through the newspapers, the newspapers are far away from the capital, and the newspapers he is reading now are from the last issue.

Liu Mingsheng opened the door and came in, "Sir."

Changzhi put down the newspaper, "Is it on the list?"

Liu Mingsheng couldn't suppress his joy, "I've signed up, thank you sir for your help, your help will never be forgotten."

Changzhi signaled to sit down, and the servant came up with a teapot, "Have a cup of hot tea."

Liu Mingsheng, "This time I will definitely win."

Changzhi didn't mention that Liu Mingsheng's grades were replaced. He stayed here and found out what he needed to investigate. Why Liu Mingsheng's last few references were put on the county exam. It was all because he couldn't pass the government exam officials. Pass.

So Liu Mingsheng's luck is good, as long as the county magistrate is dealt with, Liu Mingsheng can pass the exam smoothly.

Chang Zhi said: "I have stayed here for a few days, I should continue to study abroad."

Liu Mingsheng was very reluctant to give up. In the past few days, he asked Wen to teach him. He learned too much content that the academy could not teach him, but he also knew that there is no banquet that will never end. "I wish you a smooth journey, sir."

"Okay, wait for me to come back and pick up the four books."

Liu Mingsheng stayed and asked some questions he didn't understand, thanked him again and left.

The servant came over, "My lord, the magistrate of this place will be imprisoned in three days."

Changzhi hummed, "Let's leave quickly, so we don't get caught."

The boy said: "Liu Mingsheng met you, he met a nobleman."

Changzhi smiled, "It's also fate, I wouldn't have stayed so long if I hadn't heard his story."

The boy got up to pack his luggage, his steps were brisk, and he was about to leave the village at last, all kinds of inquiries were very annoying in recent days.

The next day, Liu Mingsheng received the package, and the woman said: "The gentleman who rented the yard left it for you, and he also left a sentence, I hope you will have a smooth journey."

Feeling disappointed, Liu Mingsheng thanked the woman and went back to open the package. Inside was a set of the Four Treasures of the Study and a box containing twenty taels of silver, including the money for writing the Four Books silently, which was enough for him to take the Qiuwei exam.

Liu Mingsheng was grateful that he laughed and cried at the same time, laughing that he was appreciated, crying that he had the opportunity to persevere.

In the palace, Zhou Shuren saw the news about Changzhi. Changzhi's words and deeds were recorded, and the focus was on the questions Changzhi raised.

Zhou Shuren, "!!"

The emperor pointed to the reported news, "This kid is really bold."

Zhou Shuren, "..."

This kid did it on purpose, so it's not a test of the emperor's attitude, he's only been out of Beijing for as long as he's doing things.

The emperor said again: "He hasn't been to Chuanzhou, so let's take care of the incident first."

Zhou Shuren continued to read the news, "The emperor should be happy."

Changzhi has found a good seedling, and the hardships of these years have not overwhelmed his will, and he still has his own ideas, Liu Mingsheng is not bad.

The emperor smiled, "It's better for Changzhi to stay in the Imperial Academy when he comes back."

Zhou Shuren, "Changzhi will not help in the future."

The fourth child has a sense of propriety, and knows that he can show kindness once, but he can't keep showing kindness. This is not what the emperor wants to see, and it is not good for the Zhouhou Mansion.

The emperor hummed, Zhou Changzhi was his surprise soldier, he couldn't use it all the time, but he could catch him by surprise, he was satisfied with Zhou Changzhi.

The emperor signaled Eunuch Zhang to set the chessboard, and when he was able to play chess, the emperor suddenly said, "I have hinted that Mr. Luo will retire."

Zhou Shuren's heart moved, "Something is beyond my expectation."

He could sense the emperor's thoughts, but he didn't expect the emperor to be so decisive.

The emperor took a step first, put down the chess pieces and continued: "This is the last face I will leave for him."

Zhou Shuren, "The Duke's Mansion and the Luo family are related by marriage."

The emperor's tone was sarcasm, "Did the Luo family help you after being married for so long?"

Zhou Shuren was silent. If the Luo family had given him help, Duke Yong'an would not have lost such a big face last time.

The emperor said quietly: "So it's the same whether the in-laws are there or not. What's the use of keeping the promise if they don't keep it?"

Zhou Shuren, "You know all about it."

The emperor sneered, "I didn't prevent the two families from getting married, what do you think?"

I thought that the Luo family could do something to solve it together in the future, but in the end I underestimated the shamelessness of the Luo family, and took money from the Duke's Mansion without any effort, really shameless!

Zhou Shuren understood that the emperor didn't want to bear the Luo family's inaction, "There is a big transfer at the beginning of the year, will it be bad?"

Your Majesty, "That's why I hinted that he is going to be an official. I can give the Luo family half a year if he is honest. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Zhou Shuren clicked his tongue twice. He didn't want to speak well for the Luo family, and he was very tired of the Luo family.

The emperor continued: "The Luo family's position as an official will remain."

Zhou Shuren thought about it for a while and laughed, the emperor reserved the position for Wang Jue's future transfer, and at the same time thought sarcastically, whether Mr. Luo leaves or not has no effect on the court!
