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

"Sir, Zhu Silang... first place in the Xiucai Section, Class A!"

"Sir...sir, it's hit! Zhu Silang is hit!"

…

This time, the six government offices were close to Hongwu Gate, and the officials took advantage. ♦☟

I was the first to receive the news that Zhu Di had passed the examination.

However, for many people, this news does not make them feel good.

Right Prime Minister's Office.

boom!

The clerk rushed in and interrupted Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang's conversation.

Hu Weiyong looked at the young official's face, his heart gradually sank, but he still smiled and asked kindly: "Has our highness been hit?"

"I won!" The clerk nodded heavily: "Not only did he win, he also ranked first in Class A!"

Hu Weiyong's smile suddenly froze.

Li Shanchang's hand holding the tea cup shook, and the tea soup spilled on the back of his hand.

Hu Weiyong glanced at him and dismissed the clerk with a wave of his hand.

Li Shanchang then put down the tea cup and wiped the tea soup, and sighed in disbelief, "It's amazing, it's amazing. The old Zhu family, whose ancestors were born in the 18th generation, has a scholar!"

Moreover, this old Zhu family treasonous son.

But it’s not just about writing.

The force is not weak either.

It is reported that when escorting grain and grass to the outside of the customs, they also took a group of villagers from Tuqiao Village with them to act as bait to trap and kill the horse bandits.

To put it bluntly, it’s not an exaggeration to say Yun Wen Yun Wu!

That is why Emperor Zhu did not try his best to build momentum for Zhu Silang.

Otherwise, Zhu Silang would have become famous all over the world.

People are talking about the saying "Wise King"!

In every dynasty, there has been a wise king.

Let’s talk about it.

What these wise kings did was not as good as Zhu Silang.

Just relying on the two things of tax farming through bidding and rural village communes, Zhu Silang was able to defeat the so-called wise kings in the past dynasties.

The corners of Hu Weiyong's eyes trembled vaguely, and he said with difficulty: "The difficulty of the test questions set by Lu Ben this time, according to the candidates, even if they come to the exam, they may not be able to pass the test."

…

This means that Zhu Silang can come out on top and pass the scholar examination.

Not surprisingly.

It's time to take part in the provincial examination in the autumn, and it should be no problem to pass the exam.

If you try the last level, you can't stop Zhu Silang.

Zhu Silang is really about to successfully sprint for the imperial examination!

Is there such a person in history?

There is no record in history books.

He didn't know.

But one thing is clear. Once Zhu Silang succeeds in his sprint, if Emperor Zhu announces it to the world, the whole world will be shocked!

For scholars all over the world, imperial power will instantly become extremely sacred!

"If Zhu Silang succeeds in sprinting, the power generated will be greater than the so-called auspicious influence!" Li Shanchang made a decisive conclusion.

Xiangrui, that is just to fool the people. ♧

Scholars simply don’t believe it.

In the so-called auspiciousness of all dynasties, scholars acted in cooperation with the imperial power.

But if Zhu Silang sprinted for the imperial examination, he would pass the four levels of Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren and Jinshi.

At that time, all scholars in the world would agree: Lao Zhu’s family was favored by God, and the imperial power was granted by Heaven!

In the official room, it fell into silence as Li Shanchang finished speaking.

"That person must be found!"

At a certain moment, Hu Weiyong suddenly broke the silence and said excitedly: "The leader of the ventriloquism incident, this examinee, will use similar methods on Zhu Silang in the future..."

This is a talent.

Cultivate this scholar.

After Zhu Silang entered the official career, let this person deal with Zhu Silang.

"By the way, we can also think of a way to arrange for this person to enter the prince's family, become a supporter of the prince, and sow discord between the prince and Zhu Silang..."

Hu Weiyong's eyes became brighter and brighter.

The brightness in Li Shanchang's eyes flashed away, and he glanced at Hu Weiyong from the corner of his eye and nodded: "This is a good idea, but you can't let Lu Ben know about it, and you can investigate to see if any of the last few suspicious candidates are on the list. "

"If there is one, investigate the one on the list first!"

An outstanding person who can use a little ventriloquism to make Lu Ben stumble.

You should be able to pass the exam to become a scholar.

"Thank you, Master, for reminding me!" Hu Weiyong smiled, "I will immediately send someone to inquire about all ten candidates on the list."

…

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Just when Hu Weiyong was busy investigating the ventriloquist leader.

Several young eunuchs finally arrived at the palace courtyard out of breath.

Hearing the sound, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and saw several young eunuchs, supporting each other, running in panting, shouting: "How is it? Did you pass the exam?"

"Hit...hit!"

bingo?

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment.

Did our old Zhu family really produce a scholar? The bastard fourth child is really a heifer flying into the sky, so we, the old Zhu family, can be coaxed for a while?

Ha ha……

The next second, Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses, raised his head and laughed, turned around and shouted at the window, "Xiuying, Xiuying, our son has passed the exam! There is a scholar in Lao Zhu's family! A genuine scholar who passed the exam based on his ability!"

puff!

Small table by the window.

Ma Xiuying recovered from the shock. When she heard the rustling outside, she couldn't help but smile and got up and walked out...

In fact, she had already heard it.

She was more nervous than Chongpachi, so she hid in the dormitory, opened the window and waited.

Lu Ben deliberately made things difficult for him. The entire Yingtian Mansion reference candidates were complaining about the exam, but the fourth child actually passed the exam!

It can be deduced from this that the fourth child is likely to succeed in rushing for the provincial examination in time for autumn.

Ma Xiuying walked out of the palace and saw Zhu Yuanzhang walking back and forth excitedly. She smiled and asked the little eunuch who came out of breath: "What's your rank?"

"A...A...first place!"

Ma Xiuying's eyes widened instantly and she opened her mouth slightly in shock.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already in extreme pleasure, suddenly stopped.

Turning around, he confirmed in disbelief: "What number?"

The little eunuch smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are the first in class A!"

After a brief moment of shock, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered: "Go! Go to Yingtian Mansion, get us the answer sheet, and protect it! No damage or defacement is allowed!"

"Go quickly!"

Why!

The little eunuch responded with a smile, turned around happily regardless of being tired, and trotted away again.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the little eunuch's leaving figure, grinned, and murmured: "The heifer went up to the sky, he has shocked all the ancestors!"

"Pass the decree, today everyone in the palace, from the concubines in the harem to the eunuchs, will be rewarded!"

"Send this news to all the concubines' palaces immediately!"

"Go to the main hall, give all the princes a day off, and let them gather at the ancestral temple!"

"Also, what are you doing standing around, setting off firecrackers!"

…

Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile, and issued more than a dozen orders at once. Seeing that he was getting more and more arrogant, she hurriedly reminded: "Fourth brother may not want to make the trouble known to everyone, you should stop it!"

Pour a basin of cold water down.

Zhu Yuanzhang glared angrily.

What's wrong? As an old man, he's showing off. What's wrong?

Well, enough is enough.

He still has to rely on the bastard fourth child to give himself and the ancestors of the old Zhu family a voice.

new

Now he is a scholar.

He had to keep his composure.

What if it’s too ostentatious now and the traitor gets into trouble and doesn’t go for the provincial examination or the general examination?

The fourth goddam boy has grown up and is married and has children.

But to really understand it.

The past year has exceeded the previous ten years.

It was during the past year that father and son were at odds with each other.

He sent people to monitor closely and observe secretly.

I have a clear and intuitive understanding of this bastard that I never had before.

Of all the kids, this bastard looked the most like him!

When this bastard gets angry, even to him, he dares to give up his choice!

"Okay, let's be patient and wait for the bastard to pass four tests in a row. After the general examination is over, he will come back as a Jinshi for us. We are showing off unscrupulously."

Anyway, at that time, I passed the exam.

He didn't need to look at the face of the bastard.

This is called father-in-law treating his son, killing the donkey, which is perfectly justified, haha...

The pride in my heart could not be controlled, and the corners of my lips could not help but grin, "Let's go to the ancestral temple and tell our ancestors this good news!"

Ma Xiuying smiled and glared.

The two walked out of the palace courtyard.

The sound of firecrackers came from behind the palace courtyard.

Mingxia panted and rushed towards her, "Mother, my servant is useless..."

"Yes! It's of great use!" Zhu Yuanzhang was happy and was the first to praise it.

Ma Xiuying smiled and shook her head and asked, "Have you seen whether Xia Shimin passed the exam?"

Mingxia flushed with exhaustion and nodded repeatedly, "When we were leaving, we heard Young Master Xia shouting that Scholar Xia won the second place in Class A in the examination."

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned, and then commented: "Not as good as our son!"

puff!

Ma Xiuying couldn't help but smile when she saw Zhu Yuanzhang walking in front with his hands behind his back.

Mingxia suppressed a smile and lowered her head.

Now, the emperor has completely forgotten that he is still a king. He obviously only remembers that he is the father of the scholar.

Right Prime Minister's Office.

Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang stood at the window, listening to the sound of firecrackers in the harem, and watching Zhu Yuanzhang passing by outside the official residence.

"Look!" Hu Weiyong sneered: "Emperor Zhu must be going to the ancestral temple. He didn't take a shortcut, so he took a detour outside the Liubu Yamen. This is just to show off!"

Emperor Zhu was just a scholar.

I really don’t know how proud Zhu Silang would be if he passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi.

Li Shanchang turned around and said sourly: "Emperor Zhu has reason to be happy. After all, his ancestors were all weak-legged, and it took a lot of effort to become a scholar."

They all know how difficult it is for a scholar.

Everyone can say a few words.

But I can’t point out any problems!

And Emperor Zhu never interfered from beginning to end!

It can be said that his son was admitted based on his true ability.

If they, the children of the family, could come back as scholars, others would not dare to say that Li Shanchang would be more ostentatious than this.

He will send invitations widely.

Invite all the civil and military officials of the dynasty.

It's a pity that several of his children didn't inherit even half of his abilities.

Blame him too.

In the early years, I was busy with fame and wealth, and lacked education for my children. When I became famous, I realized that the children in my family were all cultivated by women, and they became a group of mediocre people with no perseverance and ambition!

"A scholar is like this. If Zhu Silang succeeds in consecutive sprints, Emperor Zhu is very likely to tell the world." Hu Weiyong walked to the desk.

Pick up a list of ten names.

These are the ten scholars of this year that the clerk has just copied and sent.

"Xia Shimin, second in class A, could it be this person? This person also happens to be on the narrowed list..."

…

East Palace.

Zhu Biao and Chang went to the palace on shoulder carriages.

Mrs. Chang hugged Zhu Xiongying, turned around, and smiled at Zhu Biao who was sitting on the other side of the carriage: "The fourth child must have shocked a lot of people this time. With such a high level of difficulty, he actually got the first place in Class A." name."

Zhu Biao smiled and said: "Listening to the sound of firecrackers in the palace, my father may have rushed to the ancestral temple by now."

"Father, I want to see Fourth Uncle's answer sheet!" Zhu Xiongying stood up, raised his hand and said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll definitely see it when I get to the ancestral temple..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Urgent shouting from behind interrupted Zhu Biao's words.

Zhu Biao raised his hand and stopped the carriage.

Turn around...

The commander on duty at the East Palace rushed over panting, "Your Majesty, the Lu family has just come to report that Mr. Lu has vomited blood and fainted, which is very dangerous. Please send your royal doctor."

Zhu Biao frowned.

He didn't even need to ask, he knew why he was vomiting blood.

He turned to look at Mr. Chang.

Mrs. Chang smiled and said, "Go ahead. When we get to the ancestral temple, I will explain to my father that I remember to order this news to be sealed outside the East Palace. My sister is pregnant and something almost happened before."

Lu Ben was beaten fifty times and his life hung on a thread. After hearing this, Mrs. Lu almost had a miscarriage.

Zhu Biao looked at Chang with gratitude and nodded.

He really didn't consider these details.

"Lu Ben is too small-minded. Hearing that his fourth uncle was admitted as a scholar, he was so angry that he vomited blood." Zhu Xiongying muttered in a low voice and shook his head.

Mrs. Chang smiled and glared, "Children, please don't comment on adults at will. Also, children like you, please don't meddle in adults' affairs."

Zhu Xiongying nodded.

"When you are older, and Xiaoyong Ming and Xiao Qihua are older, mother will send you to your fourth uncle to study. Are you willing?"

She felt that the entire Zhu family.

Even the husband.

In fact, he is not as good as his fourth brother in dealing with people.

So life is very tiring.

She doesn't want her son to be like her husband.

Moreover, Xiongying was sent to study with the fourth child so that their uncle and nephew could develop a relationship.

In the future, Xiongying will never embarrass his fourth brother just because his fourth brother said something about fighting for the heir apparent, right?

Zhu Xiongying nestled in Mrs. Chang's arms, raised his head and frowned, "Mom, I really admire my fourth uncle."

"My fourth uncle is so good at martial arts that even my uncle and grandpa were defeated."

"My fourth uncle proposed bidding for tax farming and rural village communes. Even when my grandfather talked about these things with me in private, he sounded like a jerk. But at that time, my grandfather's lips almost reached his ears."

"My fourth uncle was so good at the imperial examination..."

…

Mrs. Chang smiled at Zhu Xiongying and counted the things she admired about Zhu Di one by one on her fingers.

"But mother, I didn't know my fourth uncle well before. Will my fourth uncle like my son?"

Mrs. Chang lowered her head with a smile, "Do you really want to get close to your fourth uncle?"

Zhu Xiongying nodded.

Chang smiled and decided to put this matter on the agenda.

After visiting Tuqiao Village several times, this idea has been lingering in my mind, and I want to say it but dare not say it.

After all, Xiongying is the emperor's grandson of the Ming Dynasty.

But today, she decided to speak out.

If my mother doesn’t fight for her son, who else can I rely on?

husband?

All the people and things in the court made him breathless.
