Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

1st choice (Thanks to Mr. Fei Huifei for rewarding the leader)

Fourth watch.

Xu Miaoyun tiptoed on the ground and lit the candle beside the bed.

Go to the crib first.

Seeing Xiao Yongming and Xiao Qihua sleeping soundly, I couldn't help but smile.

Then return to the couch.

Sitting cross-legged next to Zhu Di.

‘Hmph, I asked you to go to bed early last night, and you had to bully others as a creditor. Now it’s okay, I’m awake, but you’re not awake yet. ’

puff!

Ventriloquising, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

With a gentle smile, he saw that Zhu Di was not awake yet.

He leaned over slightly and pecked the corner of Zhu Di's lips.

Just as he was about to retreat, he was hugged by a pair of big hands.

Seeing Zhu Di open his eyes with a smile, he understood that he was pretending to sleep again!

Zhu Di circled Xu Miaoyun and teased with a smile, "It's not like I don't let you do this kind of thing when I'm awake, why do you have to do it every time when I'm asleep?"

Miaoyun becomes bolder every time when he falls asleep.

Xu Miaoyun's face turned red, she buried her head in Zhu Di's chest in embarrassment, and said dullly: "Every time, just today, I want to pass on my good luck to you."

Zhu Di held Xu Miaoyun's face with both hands and looked at it with a smile, "Okay, it wasn't enough just now. Let's pass it on for a while."

…

Until Xu Miaoyun was suffocated.

It ended with a kiss.

With their foreheads touching, Xu Miaoyun gasped and shyly urged: "Okay now, it's getting late. Get up and wash up and get dressed."

Zhu Di hugged Xu Miaoyun and waited for a moment before nodding.

At the same time as he stood up, he sighed: "I really want to be like this for the rest of my life."

Xu Miaoyun went to the ground with a smile and took out a set of neatly folded Confucian shirts.

This set of Confucian shirts was made together for the children.

During the boy's exam, Shiro didn't wear anything.

But scholars must wear it for exams.

This is one of the requirements for the scholar examination.

Zhu Di went down to the ground and saw Xu Miaoyun unfolding his clothes, as if he wanted to wear them for him personally. He smiled and whispered: "I have the hands and feet to wear them myself."

Xu Miaoyun shook his head.

It is actually the rule for a wife to serve her husband in dressing.

But after getting married, Shiro didn't like these rules. He could do anything by himself.

Later, when she became pregnant and became more and more inconvenient, Shiro helped her every day.

Shiro didn't like being waited on, so he just let it go on weekdays.

But today is different. Today is the scholar examination.

Seeing Xu Miaoyun's insistence, Zhu Di smiled and shook his head, opened his hands and let Xu Miaoyun play with them...

At a certain moment, Zhu Di grabbed Xu Miaoyun's hand and said, "Okay, those subtle wrinkles will appear again after taking a few steps."

Miaoyun can even smooth out some very fine wrinkles that are difficult to detect with the naked eye.

He knew that Miaoyun wanted him to wear the most comfortable clothes and use the best posture to take the exam.

"Wow!"

The two little guys, at this moment, told the time on time.

Xu Miaoyun no longer bothered to tidy up Zhu Di's clothes and hurriedly went to feed the two little guys.

Soon, the little guy who had eaten and drank enough fell asleep again while eating.

Zhu Di looked over and smiled: "It's better for them..."

Xu Miaoyun's pretty face turned red, and she became angry with shame, "Don't look at it, don't say it!"

Zhu Di smiled and took the two little guys over and let them crawl on his arms.

…

Soft candlelight burned.

The young couple's smiles and whispers filled the attic cabin.

It’s approaching the fifth watch.

When the two came down from the hut.

Huizu was already waiting outside the courtyard with a carriage.

When he saw the two of them, he complained: "At the fourth watch, the lights in the attic were turned on, and you didn't show up until almost the fifth watch. Is it so troublesome to go out after getting married?"

Listening to his brother-in-law's complaints, Zhu Di stared in confusion, "When you get married and have children, you will feel it for yourself!"

"It's coming soon, we'll get married next year." When he mentioned getting married, Xu Huizu grinned, "I'll try to hold a baby within a year. Although my brother-in-law and sister may not be as exaggerated as to keep silent and have two children in their lifetime, but Try to have one."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and glared at the brother-in-law and brother-in-law, and took the lead in getting in the car with the two little guys in her arms.

Zhu Di and Xu Huizu were sitting outside.

The carriage started.

Xu Huizu said: "My father has been here before and wanted to say a few words to you, but seeing you dilly-dallying, he was busy attending court and left."

"I know, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!" Xu Miaoyun's 'angry' voice came from inside the car.

"You know it's bad for us." Xu Huizu whispered, turning to look at Zhu Di, "Brother-in-law, let me tell you something, Your Majesty..."

Zhu Di listened carefully and patiently.

He was not surprised that his father asked Huizu to become a county magistrate.

When Huizu went to Tuqiao Village and followed the construction of the local village community, both he and Miaoyun knew that the old man was cultivating Huizu.

It is also a reserve of talents for rural villages.

…

Fengtian Temple.

It's past five o'clock.

Zhu Yuanzhang hasn't appeared yet.

The ministers were waiting outside the palace, gathering together to discuss.

"Are we going to be exempted from court again today?"

"It is very possible that His Majesty left the palace and sent Zhu Silang to the examination room."

…

Lu Ben listened to the discussion of his colleagues and couldn't help but move closer to Zhu Biao and asked in a low voice: "Prince, does he know where your majesty has gone?"

Zhu Biao glanced at Lu Ben.

He really knew, the little eunuch told him quietly just now.

Although the father did not go outside the palace, he sent the fourth child to the examination room.

But he went to the ancestral temple to burn incense for his ancestors.

I don’t know what my father was thinking. Even if he was burning incense for his ancestors, he should have gone there last night, right?

I'm afraid that the fourth child is already outside the examination room of the college examination at this moment, so my father went to burn incense for his ancestors?

Lu Ben didn't wait for Zhu Biao's answer, but saw a smile on Zhu Biao's lips.

This feeling made him very bad.

If the emperor behaves grandly, he will leave the palace and send Zhu Silang into the examination room.

That means that the emperor is very confident in Zhu Silang's scholar examination.

For him, this is not good news.

"Start the court!"

At this moment, high-pitched singing and shouting came from the hall.

"The examination room should not be open at this moment. Your Majesty is not leaving the palace."

"I said it's impossible. Zhu Silang hasn't passed the scholar examination yet. Your Majesty is making such a big fanfare. What if Zhu Silang fails."

"This year's Yingtianfu candidates will curse when they see the test paper."

…

While the palace door was opening, Baiguan quickly returned to his position, stood up, and murmured softly.

Lu Ben also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

…

Yingtian Academy.

This is a local state capital academy, which is two different things from the Imperial College.

The Imperial College is under the direct jurisdiction of the central government.

Yingtian Academy is under the jurisdiction of Yingtian Mansion.

Scholars from Yingtian Mansion who pass the Tongsheng Examination are eligible to study in Yingtian Academy.

Many scholars from ordinary people's families, even those from scholarly families, who have passed the child examination will choose to study in the state capital academy.

Although it costs a lot.

But when I study here, I have a rich collection of annotated books by great Confucians from different eras.

new

The college examination is held in Yingtian Academy.

When Zhu Di arrived at Yingtian Academy.

The broad area outside the academy has long been filled with horse-drawn carriages and a sea of ​​people.

There were at least a thousand people wearing Confucian shirts to take part in the college exams, and there were also people like Miao Yun who came to take the exams.

Thousands of people gathered in a large field, it was so lively.

"Go to the left, there is an empty spot on the left." Zhu Di looked for it and pointed to the left.

Xu Huizu drove the carriage and slowly shuttled through the crowd. He finally came to the left and stopped the carriage.

"Dad, please eat, you have to take the exam."

Just when Zhu Di turned around to talk to Xu Miaoyun, he heard a voice coming from behind the carriage in front of him.

The probe looked curiously.

A middle-aged man wearing an old Confucian shirt, a middle-aged woman, and two children were hiding behind a carriage.

They were pushing each other for a piece of wild vegetable pancake.

Perhaps this cake is too attractive to a family of four.

Or maybe the surroundings are too noisy.

Anyway, the family of four didn't notice that a carriage was parked nearby.

Zhu Di made a hissing gesture, then raised the curtain, took Xiao Qihua, and helped Xu Miaoyun gently put it down from the car.

Xu Miaoyun quietly glanced at the family of four, and left quietly with Zhu Di holding the two little guys.

Xu Huizu tied up his horse and chased after him. He asked out of curiosity: "Brother-in-law, why did you leave so quietly? I originally wanted to help them. A family of four has to give in for a piece of vegetable pancake. It's strange to see how it tastes."

I went to Tuqiao Village and followed my brother-in-law to build a local village community.

He also endured the discomfort of his throat and ate vegetable pancakes with his eighth uncle and fourth uncle.

He never expected that a scholar who obviously came to take the scholar examination would be worse off than his eighth uncle and the others!

Xu Miaoyun explained for Zhu Di: "The other party's family hid behind a carriage and gave up a piece of vegetable pancake. This proves that they don't want anyone to discover their embarrassment."

"You recklessly ran over to help, where did you put this person?"

…

Some real scholars attach great importance to dignity.

In the eyes of such scholars, starving to death is a small matter, but being dishonest is a big deal.

To treat such a scholar, to rush to help rashly and bring his embarrassment to the forefront is to sentence him to death in terms of his personality.

The greatest kindness should be from Shiro.

Don't disturb and leave quietly.

"Fortunately, my brother-in-law is able to hold a pen and a head, so that sister, sister, and you mother-in-law are not reduced to this situation. Looking at a stranger makes me feel uncomfortable. If I see brother-in-law, sister, and your family like this, I will have to You can’t go crazy.”

Xu Huizu whispered.

Xu Miaoyun and Zhu Di couldn't help but smile.

Xu Miaoyun turned to look at the small world of a family of four.

Then he looked at Zhu Di, Xiao Yongming, and Xiao Qihua.

Boom, boom, boom!

"All candidates, line up and verify your identity! Prepare to enter the examination room!" At this moment, the bronze bell at the entrance of the academy rang.

After the carriage.

The embarrassed scholar, after hearing the shouting, took a small bite of the vegetable pancake that the whole family had pushed around for several times but had not been touched, and stuffed the pancake into the hands of the young man next to him, "Weizhe, and your mother and elder My younger brother shared the meal, and my father entered the examination room. After dawn, the imperial court will provide meals for the candidates."

After saying this, the middle-aged scholar hurried away.

not far away.

Xu Huizu held his two little nephews in his arms and watched as the embarrassed scholar ran out first. Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged woman with two children chased out with a vegetable pancake with a small gap in it, but she failed to catch up.

He couldn't help but secretly nod his head, "If nothing else, just leave this piece of cake to this scholar and leave it to my wife and children. I am a man."

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun looked at Xu Huizu with a smile.

Xu Miaoyun carefully helped Zhu Di tidy up his clothes.

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Okay."

Xu Huizu deliberately shuddered and parroted: "Yeah, that's enough. I'm almost sore to death watching it."

Xu Miaoyun glared at Xu Huizu.

He came over and picked up Xiao Yongming and Xiao Qihua, "Let's send Dad to the examination room and see Dad again."

After Zhu Di teased the two little guys with a smile, he warned: "After I go in, you should go back quickly."

This scholar examination will not end in one day.

The exam won't be finished until tomorrow afternoon.

After Xu Miaoyun nodded, Zhu Di turned and left.

Xu Miaoyun watched Zhu Di follow the flow of people, queue up and pass the inspection to enter the academy. She lowered her head and smiled and said: "We are sending my father to take the scholar examination now, and in the future we will also send him to take the imperial examination and the imperial examination."

Xu Huizu looked on from the side and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Not far away, a mother with two children also looked on with envy.

Ever since Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun parted ways just now, this wife and mother had been admiringly paying attention to Zhu Di's family of four.

Xu Huizu noticed it and reminded him in a low voice: "Sister, the wife of an embarrassed scholar, has been watching you."

Xu Miaoyun also noticed it and whispered: "Go over and see if the other party is willing to accept our help and whether it is worthy of our help."

Her and Shiro's identities are sensitive, and the other's husband is a scholar who has taken the imperial examination.

In the past, she would not have thought of helping.

Because countless people were staring at her and Shiro.

Any move they make will be interpreted in various ways by others.

Even if the father's attitude changes now, he can't stop this kind of thing.

It was the other party's family of four. Although they were poor, their warmth touched her.

She also has a warm family of four.

However, she was luckier than this sister-in-law. She was born in the Xu family and had a father who protected her very well.

After getting married, she has a husband who can support her and create a happy family.

Xu Huizu's eyes widened and he whispered in surprise: "Sister, didn't you say before that the greatest kindness to others is to leave quietly?"

Xu Miaoyun shook her head helplessly, "The situation at that time was certainly not suitable for breaking into someone else's family. Now the scholar husband of the other party is not here, and we are both mothers of two children, so we have many topics in common."

After saying that, Xu Miaoyun ignored the dumbfounded Xu Huizu.

He walked over with Xiao Yongming and Xiao Qihua in his arms.

…

In the examination room.

Zhu Di took the number plate and found his small single room.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he looked slightly surprised at the exam number one step away, to the side.

It was the embarrassed scholar. He was sipping the water provided by the exam number. Then he saw the other person take out a piece of cloth and tie it tightly around his stomach.

He had heard the old man say before that this could help him fight hunger.

He didn't disturb the other party and got into his small single room to take an account.

"Xia Shimin, God is about to entrust this person with a great responsibility. He must first strain his mind and will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions..."

Zhu Di couldn't help but nodded as he listened to the whispers coming from next door.

I just don’t know if this Xia scholar can remain clean after becoming an official.

Li Shen, who wrote about compassion for farmers, was also a very ambitious young man when he was studying for the imperial examination.

It wrote about the compassion for farmers that has been passed down for thousands of years.

But once he sat in a high position, he was very bad.

Zhu Di chose to watch indifferently, but he didn't know that Xu Miaoyun felt compassion for the other party's family of four, although they were poor but warm.

…
