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

Tell the world: Zhu Silang is the King of Yan Zhu Di? He is Zhu Yuanzhang’s fourth son?

Can Zhu Silang succeed in sprinting?

If successful.

One year later, will Emperor Zhu tell the world?

Zhu Silang is the King of Yan and lives in Tuqiao Village. Everyone in the court has a tacit understanding to control the spread of the matter.

Outside of Jinling and a little further away, the counties around Jiangning don't even know about this.

Why is there such a tacit understanding?

At first, the emperor did not allow them to publicize this matter.

After things like tax bidding and rural village communities happened later, the prince clan began to suppress them with all their strength.

He knew that Zhu Silang was the king of Yan, Zhu Di.

No one wants to offend the prince family.

The officials headed by him who sought vassal power did not want Zhu Silang to become famous in the world out of the interests of vassal power.

No matter what, Zhu Silang was Emperor Zhu's son in the eyes of the people.

If Zhu Silang becomes famous all over the world, it will strengthen the authority of the imperial power.

Emperor Zhu's authority is already strong enough.

It can't be any bigger.

No matter how big it is, the ministerial power will be squeezed out and there will be no room for survival!

When they, the people who control the world, tacitly control the scope of news dissemination.

This news cannot be spread!

Therefore, the people now do not know that Zhu Di is Zhu Silang.

Most local officials outside Jinling did not know that Zhu Di was Zhu Silang!

…

Therefore, once Emperor Zhu declares it to the world, Zhu Silang will be King Zhu Di of Yan!

What was exposed was not just the continuous sprint for the imperial examination.

Bidding tax packages and rural village societies will also be exposed!

Just doing one thing is enough to become famous all over the world.

Three things at the same time...

Hu Weiyong was stunned...

…

Squeak...squeak...

The carriage drove out of Hongwumen in a low-key manner.

Zhu Yuanzhang lifted the curtain and looked outside, then turned around and said, "You bastard, Fourth Brother, can you help our old Zhu family?"

Ma Xiuying frowned helplessly. With the same words, the fourth child was in the examination room for a day and a half.

Chongba has asked this question no less than eight hundred times!

He asked angrily: "What? If the fourth child fails the exam, will you still blame the fourth child?"

"We just feel that if he fails the exam, our ancestors will be disappointed. Two days ago, we went to the ancestral temple to burn incense, but we boasted about Haikou to our ancestors." Zhu Yuanzhang felt guilty, and his tone was a bit weak.

Ma Xiuying glared angrily.

Whether her ancestors were disappointed, she didn't know.

But Chongba will definitely be very disappointed. new

He also hopes that the fourth child will test him as a scholar, so that he can show off everywhere.

…

"Our Yingtian Mansion is where the imperial capital is located. Why is the Ministry of Rites so crazy? We only gave ten places this time."

"It doesn't matter if there are ten places, the lowest score is disgusting!"

"The new Minister of Rites, the first thing he did when he took office was to burn our Yingtian Mansion. He is the stupidest person I have ever seen..."

"Hush, don't you know who this Lu Shangshu is? Don't talk nonsense."

…

Outside Yingtian Academy.

Crowds of people.

People who were familiar with each other gathered together and talked excitedly.

Xu Miaoyun was holding Xiao Qihua, Xiao Yongming and Liao Miaoxian standing together and chatting.

At the same time, he paid attention to the surrounding discussions.

At this moment, she completely understood why her father wanted to find excuses to beat Lu Ben.

First of all, before the exam, my father needed Lu Ben's official weapon for personal use, so he turned a blind eye and indulged it.

However, the use of public tools for private use should never be advocated no matter what.

After the exam and after the fall, he settled the accounts and slapped Lu Ben on the board to warn the court.

Secondly, it was a tactful gesture from a father to his son to give Shiro some vent by beating Lu Ben.

Once again, Lu Ben's behavior made the Yingtian Mansion candidates angry at the prince.

When the board fell, the impact of Lu Ben's behavior on the prince was resolved.

‘This is the emperor’s mind! From beginning to end, Lu Ben was a pawn in his father's hands. ’

"Da Ya, this is a sample copied by Wei Zhe and I. Take a look." Liao Miaoxian took out a few bound books and handed them to Xu Miaoyun, interrupting Xu Miaoyun's thoughts.

Come back to your senses.

Xu Miaoyun handed Xiao Qihua and Xu Huizu and Mao Laoliu, and took the sample with a smile.

Open it and look carefully.

Help is help.

But she will also carefully check the quality of the copied books.

After all, this is for children to learn from.

As the children's mistress, she would not forget her responsibilities to the children just to help the Xia family.

If the Xia family's mother and son are indeed not qualified, she will terminate it.

Think of other ways to help.

Being a person and doing things is like carrying a burden.

To balance both sides.

If it cannot be balanced, then a decisive choice must be made based on responsibilities and obligations, and which is more important.

There is no room for indecision.

The more indecisive you are, the more you will fail in life and the more chaotic you will be in doing things.

After watching for a moment, Xu Miaoyun looked up with a smile...

Liao Miaoxian and Xia Yuanji are calm and confident. §§

Xu Miaoyun smiled and lowered her head again, and continued to check.

She could memorize the Four Books and Five Classics backwards, and the various annotations on them were summed up by her and Shiro by gathering the essence of each school.

She was familiar with every word in it.

After a while.

Xu Miaoyun closed the book and looked up with a smile, "Sister Liao, from these samples, you can see the attitude of You and Wei Zhe in doing things."

In fact, many times, looking at a person does not require too much effort at all.

Pick one thing and let him do it.

Then you can understand a lot by looking at the results of what he does.

I dare not say anything else.

The handwriting in the book is neat, without a single smear mark, and even the paper has no other stains other than the words, similar to fingerprints.

It can be seen that the Xia family mother and son were extremely serious when doing this.

Such a responsible and serious attitude.

Enough for this.

"I decided to give the remaining transcriptions to Sister Liao. Each of the Four Books and Five Classics requires forty-seven copies."

"Sister Liao, can you come over if you are busy?"

"Yes!" Xia Yuanji, who was standing next to Liao Miaoxian, spoke first, "It will take another month before the college examination is over and the results are released."

"During this time, my father can also copy."

"I can copy two books a day. My father and mother can copy seven books a day. It will be a little more than a month. We guarantee that we can copy it well."

new

Xu Miaoyun lowered his head and smiled at Xia Yuanji, who was actively fighting for it.

Liao Miaoxian smiled and nodded: "Da Ya, we can."

Copying books can not only read and write, but also make money to support the family.

This is an extremely happy thing.

The eldest son was quite conservative.

If her husband knew that there was such a good thing, he would spend all his time doing it.

Xu Miaoyun smiled and nodded, looking at Xu Huizu.

Xu Huizu hurriedly took off the money bag from his waist and handed it to Xu Miaoyun.

Xu Miaoyun counted out a dozen pieces of silver of varying sizes from the purse, about fifteen or six taels, and handed them to Liao Miaoxian.

Liao Miaoxian hurriedly took a step back and waved his hand: "It's too much. We only spent 500 yuan on the previous deposit..."

Even if you choose the best paper and medium ink, it won't cost so much.

This money is enough to buy printed books directly.

Xu Miaoyun smiled and put the money into Liao Miaoxian's hand, "Sister Liao must have discovered when she copied it. The annotations of these books are all compiled from the masters of the Confucian schools of the past dynasties. The same sentence even contains dozens of different annotation……"

This is the version she and Shiro made after reading through the Xu family's collection of books, constantly discussing, adding, subtracting, and summarizing.

It was used to teach children.

Miaoyin went there several times and after discovering it, he copied a set and brought it home for them to learn how to use.

It is not sold on the market.

"If you print it alone, you won't be able to print it for this amount of money, so we take advantage."

…

How could Liao Miaoxian be better than Xu Miaoyun, so he accepted it gratefully in the end.

With this money, excluding the cost of copying books, it is enough for their family of four to live for three months.

Even if my husband failed the exam.

The travel expenses back home are almost enough.

…

Mid-afternoon.

Boom, boom, boom!

The gong sounded again.

The yamen servant banged the gong and took the exam number along the rows of small single rooms. He reminded loudly: "Dear candidates, the exam time is up. Fold the front of your answer sheet and seal the 'Seal of the Ministry of Rites' area with the sealing strip provided by the court..."

Shortly after the yamen officer passed by the exam hall.

Zhu Didun pen.

call!

Take a deep breath.

This was the longest exam he had ever taken.

Except for a brief three-hour sleep last night, my hands haven't stopped for a day and a half!

‘Lu Ben, this old bastard! ’

While waiting for the ink to dry, Zhu Di couldn't help but curse in secret.

The number of questions is really insane!

Try to avoid smears and typos on the rolled surface.

You should first write your answers on the manuscript paper, revise them, and then copy them onto the answer sheet.

Two one-foot-long, 3.3-meter-long, 23-fold answer sheets were filled with dense, block-like small scripts.

It only takes a day and a half.

The intensity is so high.

Whoever takes the exam knows!

This morning, there were candidates who couldn't bear the pressure and broke their jars and greetings to Lu Ben's family. Then they were controlled by the government officials and taken away from the examination room.

This is what candidates do in the examination room.

Just wait, when you walk out of the examination room, you will definitely hear various greetings immediately.

He is looking forward to it...

Watching the ink dry, Zhu Di picked up the paper and paste provided in the examination room, carefully folded the first page with his name and place of origin, and sealed it.

…

Xia Shimin next door, put down the pen.

Exhaled.

After waiting for a while, after sealing, put the test papers, answer sheets, and manuscript papers into the original envelopes.

Quietly, he took out a dozen pancakes from under the table.

Watched and smiled.

This was what he saved from five meals a day and a half.

Don't worry about whether you can pass the exam this time.

All made.

This is a pure flour pancake.

My wife and children haven’t eaten for a long time.

Thinking about it, Xia Shimin carefully put the pancakes into her arms one by one.

Boom, boom, boom!

"Hand in your papers! All candidates, prepare to hand in your papers!"

Not long after the gong sounded again, a crimson-robed civil servant came with three green-robed officials.

Zhu Di had some impression of this person, but he couldn't name him.

This is also the biggest official he has seen in this year's college examination.

Three envelopes with test papers, answer sheets, and manuscript papers were handed over to the officials respectively.

Zhu Di walked out of the narrow single room.

Raise your arms, stretch, and stretch your body happily.

In the examination number, this is not possible.

"Thanks."

Zhu Di turned around when he heard the sound...

Xia Shimin bowed solemnly to Zhu Di, "I am Xia Shimin from Changsha Xiangyin, I don't know..."

"Zhu Silang." Zhu Di smiled and helped Xia Shimin up with one hand, "A native of Tuqiao Village, Jiangning, it's just a little effort. I didn't know if you had experience at the time, so I'd like to remind you that I have this kind of problem myself. Experience, being very hungry, eating too much in one meal, and then suffering..."

He's not lying either.

However, it is not because they are too poor to eat, but because they are specially trained for hunger.

"This classmate Zhu seems to be the same as me. He has suffered from starvation at least once. ’

Xia Shimin suddenly felt more friendly.

"Let's talk while walking." Zhu Di suggested, he couldn't wait to go out.

Look, how these classmates scolded Lu Ben.

Hiding in the crowd, shouting and cursing a few words to stir up the atmosphere.

He likes to do things like this that add to the atmosphere.

Also, I kind of miss Miaoyun, Xiaoyongming, and Xiaoqihua.

Sitting in this narrow examination room, how can I feel comfortable holding Miaoyun and guarding the child, if it weren't for the old man torturing people? How could he suffer such a crime?

"Okay, let's talk while we walk." Xia Shimin smiled and made an invitation gesture. He couldn't wait to bring the pancakes in his arms to his wife and children.

…

at the same time.

Everyone who heard the sound of the gong several times outside looked forward to it and waited anxiously and nervously.

Xu Miaoyun held her two children in her arms and stood on tiptoe to look at the gate of the academy.

Xu Huizu stood on the carriage shaft and looked around.

not far away……

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in the carriage, lifting the curtain, watching secretly, muttering and scolding: "I don't know what the reaction will be when the fourth bastard comes out?"

Lost?

Swearing at Lu Ben?

High-spirited and laughing wildly?

Ma Xiuying smiled and stared, ignoring Zhu Yuanzhang, staring eagerly...
