According to the customary procedures of the Zhengdan Dynasty, all officials congratulated the emperor, followed by congratulations from envoys such as Korea, Ryukyu, Annan and other countries.

However, unlike previous years, among the envoys of the foreign states this year, there were more missions from the Mongolian Tatar tribe, and the leader was the nominal crown prince Mengke.

In order to congratulate the New Emperor in the first year of the dynasty, Datong General Guo Deng specially ordered the post stations along the way to whip up the Tatar mission to the capital on New Year's Eve to achieve a tribute ceremony to the Emperor Ming Dynasty.

The Yuan Empire was once arrogant and surrendered across thousands of miles of territory and seas. Although it is now divided into three major divisions: Tatars, Watsai and Urianha, the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties represent the legal tradition of the Golden Family, but they are always under the control of the Tatar tribe.

The crown prince was Mengke to pay tribute to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, representing the glorious grassland empire, and once again surrendered to the Central Plains dynasty. From then on, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was truly called the co-lord of the world in name!

Zhu Qiyu, standing on the imperial platform, looked at Feng Ke who was kneeling at his feet, and felt very passionate in his heart, and said, "The heavenly dynasty is the king of the king of the barbarians. The vigor of the sage king of the sage king is passed down to the future generations of the world and show the barbarians of the east and west. The great spirit of revival of the light and the Geng Guang of the two ancestors is truly the great achievements of the emperor!"

"Today, I enthroned the general Khan of Dai Tuotuobuhua to be the King of Shunyi of the Ming Dynasty and awarded the gold-plated silver seal. Tuotuobuhua's eldest son Mengketaiji was awarded the title of governor, and the other leaders of the tribes were all given the imperial edict."

"As my ministers, you must not commit the border and start wars, otherwise you will be punished even if you escape thousands of miles away!"

The extremely majestic and domineering words of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu made all the civil and military officials present excited. The strong Han and prosperous Tang Dynasty were the benchmark of the Han Dynasty, and the Ming Taizu's slogan was "expelling the Tartars and restoring China."

Now, we have witnessed the Tartars nominally surrendering to the Ming Dynasty with their own eyes. This passion and pride transcends the political struggle of the court and belongs to the true feelings of family and country.

"Foreign ministers are so fierce. Thank you for your majesty's title. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The "Governor" shouted long live, and once again performed five bows and three bows, symbolizing surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

However, this scene was in the eyes of the Wasati delegation, and his heart was bleeding. Who would have thought that the storm was changing so quickly? Half a year ago, the Mongols had an absolute advantage and almost captured the Ming Dynasty's capital to compete for the Central Plains.

As a result, half a year later, Dai Zonghan Tuotuohua, who symbolized the bloodline of the Golden Family, officially accepted the title of the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the emperor.

From then on, there was no more Dayuan rule in the world, and only the Ming vassal states remained!

If it were other times, the twatt commander would definitely stand up, and cursing a few times would have lost the face of Genghis Khan's descendants. However, this time, Xining Lingchi's death was unable to dissipate in his mind for a long time. "Killing God" Shen Yichen stood in the front row in a bullfighting suit.

This boy will never follow the rules of the "etiquette country". As long as he and others dare to stand up and scold him, Shen Yichen will dare to punish him severely.

No matter how resentful and dissatisfied, the envoys of the Wasat tribe could only watch the Tatar tribe complete the entire tribute ceremony and become the "King of Shunyi" of the Ming Dynasty.

After the tribute ceremony with great inspiration, the following are the congratulations of all civil and military officials. Compared to the time when we first showed our literary talent and gained attention, Shen Yichen no longer needs to use these small means, and the content of the congratulations is also well written.

However, Yang Hongze was resentful of Chen Yichen's congratulations to defeat him with "Huanyu Tongzhi". When it was his turn to congratulate, Yang Hongze came out and reported: "Your Majesty, I did not prepare a congratulations this time, but prepared another congratulations."

As soon as Yang Hongze said this, it instantly aroused the interest of officials inside and outside the Fengtian Palace. At the same time, many people had a little playful expression on their faces, recalling the "Huanyu Tongzhi" incident that year, wanting to see what he could do to surpass Chen Yichen.

"Yang Qing, let me see what gifts you have prepared."

Zhu Qiyu replied with a smile, although Yang Hongze is arrogant, his talent and ability are still unquestionable. I don’t know what kind of gift he can offer.

With the emperor's permission, Yang Hongze asked the Tongzhengsi officials outside the hall to present a book.

The appearance of this scene made many officials who ignited curiosity feel disappointed in an instant. They thought that you, Yang Hongze, could do something, but they never expected to follow the old path of Chen Yichen. After all, after "Huanyu Tongzhi", you want to compare with this book, which is too perfunctory.

Not to mention the civil and military officials, even Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu subconsciously frowned after seeing it.

That year, Chen Yichen's "Huanyu Tongzhi" was really dazzling. Even Zhu Qiyu, who was the King of Hui at that time, heard of it. Now it seems that Yang Hongze's imitation is like a clown. Yingying's fire really cannot compete with the sun and the moon...

But Yang Hongze's words then completely changed everyone's impression, and even Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qizuo couldn't help but be happy.

"Your Majesty, this is the "Book of Scholars" jointly signed by the scholars of the capital. As the saying goes, it will be established before it is established. All things are in ruins. In the 13th year of Zhengtong, Wuchen was hindered by the war of the Tartars. I hope that the imperial examinations can be opened as soon as possible, select wise men for the country, and be loyal to Your Majesty!"

The importance of enrolling a subject and winning a bachelor's degree can be regarded as the college entrance examination in later generations, and even far surpassed the college entrance examination.

It not only selects talents for the country, but also stabilizes the most middle-level scholar-official class in feudal society and maintains a path of promotion. At the same time, for the king, every Jinshi who won the imperial examination is the disciple of the emperor, and his future arm and loyalty to the court.

Why did Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty attach so much importance to Chen Yichen? It was because of the three Yuans and the imperial examinations he appointed, which firmly bound the titles of the two sides' monarchs together. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to "betray the Lord and seek honor" scenes.

But Chen Yichen did not follow the ordinary path and chose the latter between loyalty to the emperor and loyal to the country.

The biggest crisis for Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu is that he does not have any of his own power foundations in the court. Even loyal ministers like Yu Qian and Chen Yichen are not considered to be confidant in a sense, and they are more similar to those of "like-minded".

After the post-school officers who were loyal to Zhu Qiyu would enter the court, and as time goes by, the alternation of new and old forces would eventually be completed.

Even if Zhu Qiyu is old and even wants to pass on the throne to his descendants, the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen and the current crown prince Zhu Jianshen will have no ability to resist.

The reason is that the ministers in the court no longer have officials from the orthodox dynasty, but are the disciples of the Emperor of Jingtai dynasty!

Yang Hongze's memorial to measure historical value is far less than Chen Yichen's "Huanyu Tongzhi", but it was reported to Zhu Qiyu's heart. He was thinking that he could start the imperial examination in Jisi, and the "Scholars" came to his door!

However, Yang Hongze's actions made the Minister of Rites Hu Yi, Minister of Rites Wang Zhi, Minister of Personnel Wang Ji, Bo Jingyuan Wang Ji, Bo Huichang Sun Zhong and other ministers looked at him with incredible eyes.

The Wuchen Certificate Examination in the 13th year of Zhengtong was cancelled, and the imperial examination should be resumed as soon as possible. Have they collectively forgotten these old ministers of the court?

Of course the answer is no. In the past few months after the end of the War of the Capital, no one of the honors and ministers in the court mentioned the matter of enrolling imperial examinations and recruiting scholars, because no one wanted to start before the Ming Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen returned to Beijing!

The new waves of the Yangtze River urge the old waves, and the new generation replaces the old people. The change in the power structure in the court means that these old ministers have to face the challenge of a new star force loyal to Zhu Qiyu, and are naturally destined to be in different camps.

In addition, if you want to obtain the merit of following the dragon brought by the restoration and suppress the new king to develop his power in the court, it is also a necessary means. If you can get a scholar, you can drag it down. It is best to combine the two sessions into one, and then talk about it after three years.

Yang Hongze is the confidant of the civil servant group and the next generation of people in power in the court. He knew the reason behind the fact that the ministers of honor and relatives chose to remain silent when they were selected for silence in the court meeting. However, he took the initiative to mention this matter at the Zhengdan court meeting.

Isn’t this equivalent to betraying the entire civil service group?

You should know that when Hu Yi chose Yang Hongze, a poor child, the first was that he abides by etiquette and law and belongs to the traditional Confucian scholar of Neo-Confucianism, and there would not be the next rebellious Chen Yichen. On the other hand, the other was that poor child had no foundation to control, and even if he sued his official position and returned home, he could still control the situation in the court in a remote manner.

Could this son have a rebellious bone?

Before Hu Yi and others could react to what happened, He Pingyan immediately stood up and agreed, "Yang Zhongtang's words are reasonable. Please ask Your Majesty to open an imperial examination as soon as possible to assure the hearts of all the scholars in the world!"

Just Yang Hongze was still in the scope of acceptance of Hu Yi and others. Now that He Pingyan came forward to support him, things seemed a little confused.

He Pingyan is the nephew of the Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel. He has been involved in the group of children of officials since he was a child and once became the leader of the Gongxing Society of the capital. His political sense is far superior to that of a poor child like Yang Hongze, and he will never do anything against the bones.

From this point of view, "The Book of Scholars" was discussed by Yang Hongze and He Pingyan, just to submit a memorial to the emperor at the Zhengdan court meeting!

In an instant, the expression on Hu Yi's face changed from surprise to a complex and profound meaning. He already understood the intentions of Yang Hongze and He Pingyan.

"Yang Aiqing and He Aiqing said very much. It is impossible to delay the establishment of a vocational school to win wise men. Then I will follow the hearts of the scholars in the world and hold a major competition for Jisi year as soon as possible!"

"Your Majesty's wise!"

Without any hesitation, He Pingyan shouted, and then all the civil and military officials inside and outside Fengtian Hall had to shout together, accusing the fact that the Jisi Chronicle exam was about to be held.

"Since I have decided to resume the enrollment of the vocational colleges as soon as possible, I wonder if there are candidates for the president of the examination in the imperial examination?"

Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu may be much inferior to his royal brother in terms of imperial power, but he still knows the basic observation of words and expressions, and he also understands that many things in the court represent exchange of interests.

Yang Hongze presented the "Book of Scholars" and publicly called for the opening of the imperial examination as soon as possible, so what he asked for would naturally have something to do with the imperial examination.

The most valuable thing in the imperial examination is nothing more than the candidate for the chief examiner, which represents the honor of the master and can establish your own disciples and followers in the court!

If you give it to your favor, you will be rewarded with your favor. If you want to buy the hearts of court officials, you have to give them what they want.

"Your Majesty, I have taken the liberty to recommend Yang Shaoqing as the president of the All-End Test. Yang Shaoqing is both talented and virtuous, and is not upright, so he is the best candidate for the All-End Test president!"

Hu Yi, the Minister of Rites, who has always liked to watch the development of the situation, stood up for the first time this time and clearly stated that he recommended the candidate.

He already understood Yang Hongze's motivation for prosecuting the "Book of Scholars". Rather than delaying the matter of enrolling the imperial examinations until the end, it is better to take the initiative to mention gaining benefits from it.

In a sense, Yang Hongze's behavior is correct.

"Your Majesty, since the Lord of the Communist Party recommended Yang Shaoqing, I will not avoid relatives. He Shaoqing was called Gemini and Yang Shaoqing in the 13th year of Zhengtong. If he could serve as the president of the Jisi exam together, he would create a good story!"

None of the people who can gain a foothold in the imperial court were not an old fox. There were two examiners in the Ming Dynasty, unlike the Qing Dynasty, who were one positive, three negative, and four examiners. He Pingyan chose to stand up and discuss Yang Hongze. It was obvious that the two reached a deal behind the scenes, that is, to jointly win the position of the examiner in the imperial examination.

Minister of Rites Hu Yi helped his own people to seek benefits. As his uncle, Wang Zhi, the Minister of Personnel, certainly, could not directly recommend He Pingyan in this matter.

It is generally difficult for military generals and honors to interfere in the imperial examination. The Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel and the Minister of Rites have expressed their favorable candidates. Unless the chief minister of the cabinet stands out to express his opinions, it will basically be a foregone conclusion.

But the problem is that Chen Xun is still very experienced. Even if he was given the title of Prince Tutor, he still couldn't compete with Hu Yi and Wang Zhi. More importantly, he didn't have long served as the chief minister himself, so he had no idea who he could recommend so quickly.

"Otsukazuka and Otsubo recommend candidates, both of whom are young talents, and they will definitely bring a new look to our Ming Dynasty. I think it is feasible."

Soon, the Minister of Justice Yu Shiyue stood up and expressed his agreement. He was the palace examination officer of Zhengtong's ten years and Zhengtong's thirteen years, second only to the San Yang at that time. He has always been in charge of the Three Laws like Dali Temple. His image in the court was selfless.

His statement led almost the entire civil service group. Regardless of whether he really wanted Yang Hongze and He Pingyan to serve as the chief examiner of the examination, it has become a certain fact that these two young people have taken office. Now they have offended them, and it will be difficult for no one in the court to do anything in the future.

"I will ask your Majesty to appoint you."

"Yang Shaoqing and He Shaoqing are young and promising. As the chief examiner, they can inspire all the scholars of the world to follow suit and do their best to serve His Majesty."

"Your Majesty also ask for an appointment."

Looking at this, it was almost a scene of agreement. In addition, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu had the intention to repay his favor. He subconsciously nodded and planned to appoint Yang Hongze and He Pingyan as the chief examiners of the examination.

But at this moment, Yu Qian, the Minister of War, who had been silent, stood up and said with a calm expression: "I have objections!"

"I recommend Shen Zhongtang as the president of the examination. No one can surpass Shen Zhongtang in terms of youth and ability, and in terms of talent and knowledge."

"There are three primitives in the world, and the six primitives in the world!"
