If that time really comes, I will probably lose my official position and have no choice but to return to Guanzhong.
Thinking of this, Feng Congwu nodded and said, "In that case, I'll listen to you. I'll wait for your news."
Zhang Yu nodded and said with a smile, "Wait for my good news."
After Song Yingsheng and the other two left the Feng family, Song Yingxing was still a little excited.
Unlike his elder brother, Song Yingxing agreed more with Zhang Yu this time. As for what Zhang Yu said, he didn't feel much. He cared more about what he could do now.
Song Yingsheng and the other two walked back, but no one spoke, and the atmosphere was obviously a bit awkward.
Song Yingxing turned to look at Zhang Yu, his expression still a little excited, and asked, "Do you think we can do it?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "We can definitely do it."
After saying this, Zhang Yu gritted his teeth and said two words, "Definitely."
It seemed like he was giving Song Yingxing confidence, and also like he was giving himself confidence.
On another street, Zhu Youxiao was wandering around dressed as a rich young man.
Accompanying him was the eunuch Chen Hong, who looked like an old butler.
Another was Qi Yuanfu, Zhu Youxiao's personal bodyguard, handpicked by him. He was even simpler, dressed like a wealthy charioteer. Of course, he also served as a bodyguard, as he carried a sword.
As for the others, they were scattered everywhere.
Zhu Youxiao held a folding fan in his hand, which he would unfold with a rustling sound from time to time and walk forward shaking it, looking quite like a dandy young man.
If he brings a few thugs with him and harasses decent women, he will definitely become a street bully.
However, Zhu Youxiao naturally couldn't do that, although he also wanted to give it a try.
It turns out that everyone has a dark side in their heart. After being suppressed for a long time, they feel excited when doing bad things.
After turning a street, Zhu Youxiao arrived at the gate of the Imperial Household Department, where quite a few people had already gathered.
Zhu Youxiao walked over and took a look, then turned around and walked in through another door.
The people who came to take the exam were roughly divided into several categories. The first was the nobles and relatives of the nobility. Of course, they were definitely not direct descendants, and illegitimate children might not even be them. Most of them were from side branches or some random relatives, or family members of the subordinates, such as the sons of the housekeeper.
Zhu Youxiao was not surprised by this operation. Once the housekeeper's son went to the Imperial Household Department, it was equivalent to his own family going to jail. Therefore, nobles and relatives often did this kind of thing.
In addition to this group of people, there are also poor scholars.
Don’t think that every educated person is rich. There are still many poor people, and there are even more people who want to fight for a bright future.
Poor scholar, poor scholar, these three words are not called for nothing. There is such a saying among the people: poor scholar, gold Juren, silver Jinshi.
This method of division, on the one hand, illustrates the difficulty of their examinations. After passing the Juren examination, it is actually easier to pass the Jinshi examination. On the other hand, it also illustrates the economic strength.
You have to know that in the Ming Dynasty, with millions of scholars, how many of them passed the Jinshi exam every three years? And how many of them passed the Juren exam?
Many times, you need to bend down in the face of reality. Just like before Zhu Youxiao traveled through time, people flocked to the positions of street office with a regular staff. The situation is the same in this era. This is an eternal truth.
Besides, Zhu Youxiao gave him a position in the Imperial Household Department, which was at least better than a clerk, right?
Even if they were inferior, they were still officials and could be promoted. Under such circumstances, poor scholars naturally flocked to them.
In addition, the third largest group is the clerks. Since the announcement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs accepting clerks, the clerks have naturally flocked to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
You know, they are the group of people who want to change their origins the most.
Some clerks are willing to live a life without a chance to make a breakthrough, while others are not. So in such a situation, the Imperial Household Department becomes a very good choice for them, and they will naturally come here.
After a walk outside, Zhu Youxiao was basically able to distinguish these three types of people.
It could be said that before they even entered the Imperial Household Department, they had already naturally split into three factions. This wasn't determined by any other issues, but by their origins.
Zhu Youxiao’s opinion on this was to just ignore it and do whatever you want.
The idea that his subordinates had no factions was simply a joke. The idea that ministers did not form factions could only exist in the emperor's beautiful fantasy.
After entering the Imperial Household Department, Zhu Youxiao went straight to find Fang Zhenghua.
This time, Fang Zhenghua was in charge of the matter, and Zhu Youxiao had some questions for him.
As for his father-in-law Zhang Guoji, Zhu Youxiao didn't care at all. Zhang Guoji had no other role except taking the blame.
After turning around a few times, Zhu Youxiao saw Fang Zhenghua.
Fang Zhenghua was explaining something to his men when he looked up and saw his own emperor. He had not expected the emperor to come and his face was full of disbelief.
After coming to his senses, Fang Zhenghua quickly ran to Zhu Youxiao's side and wanted to kneel down and pay homage to him.
"Okay, no need to be so polite." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand to interrupt Fang Zhenghua's actions.
If any commotion occurs at this time, all the people from the Imperial Household Department will come to pay their respects to me, and I won't have to do anything else.
So Zhu Youxiao directly stopped Fang Zhenghua and prevented him from making any big noise.
The group quickly entered Fang Zhenghua's duty room, and Zhu Youxiao looked around curiously. According to later accounts, this was Fang Zhenghua's office.
