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

Morning morning has just ended.

The officials talked and laughed easily and came out of Fengtian Hall.

During this period, although colleagues were arrested by Zhu Silang one after another.

But with the completion of the six-part verification, the winner is the one who is still standing here.

The vacant position must be filled by someone, and everyone may be able to make a move.

Of course, I just hope that Zhu Silang’s compensation standard will not be too excessive.

"I don't know how this compensation standard will be determined in the end?"

"Zhu Silang shouldn't go too far, right? We can cooperate in returning it, which is already very good."

"Yes, without us, the people in the world would not even be able to have a stable meal! If the compensation standard is too excessive, let's go to Zhu Silang to argue!"

As soon as an official's voice filled with righteous indignation rang out, all the officials fell silent for an instant, and then calmly distanced themselves from this colleague.

The official's face was blue and blue.

"I heard that Prime Minister Hu has begun to take advantage of the autumn harvest and the drop in grain prices to buy grain on a large scale."

"Why don't we hurry up? If food prices suddenly rise, the losses will be even greater."

…

The officials changed the topic and started talking in whispers again.

"Eight hundred miles urgent!"

"Eight hundred miles urgent!"

…

A sudden rushing sound came from a distance.

The officials stamped their feet and followed the sound...

A soldier, led by the imperial guards, rushed towards Fengtian Palace.

"Is there something going on on the southwest front?"

"Impossible, shoulder mark! This soldier is wearing a shoulder mark!"

"This thing is only available in Liaodong now. Something must have happened in Liaodong!"

…

Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang frowned, looked at each other, and stamped their feet to wait for the scouts.

Soon, the scouts approached.

Hu Weiyong stopped the scout, "What happened?"

Feng Sheng committed suicide and a rebellion broke out in Liaodong?

The scout panted and said: "I am under the command of the commander Qiu Fu of the Daliao River Guard. I was ordered by the commander to report to the imperial court in a hurry for 800 miles..."

"Goryeo sent an envoy!?"

"Promise yourself and pay tribute!?"

…

The officials exclaimed...

Disappointment flashed across Hu Weiyong's eyes.

In fact, he was somewhat looking forward to something happening in Liaodong.

If there is unevenness outside, we need peace internally.

The less peaceful it was outside, the less Emperor Zhu dared to cause too much trouble internally.

Even if Zhu Silang wants to raise his head in terms of compensation standards, Emperor Zhu will hold Zhu Silang down for everyone.

In the end I was disappointed.

Hu Weiyong stopped the scouts and said, "Let's wait until your Majesty comes."

After saying that, he turned around and said, "Go to the royal study to report the good news to His Majesty."

For such a big matter, the court would have to hold a court meeting to decide how the court would welcome the Goryeo envoys.

Although he is a leftist prime minister.

Nowadays, I do things with my tail between my legs, and I don’t dare to cut it off at will.

After the person who brought the good news left, Hu Weiyong turned around and greeted everyone: "Everyone, please return to Fengtian Palace to wait for Your Majesty."

"Let's go."

"Zhu Silang is going to be famous again."

"But no, Goryeo abandoned the Northern Yuan Dynasty and turned around to pay tribute to our Ming Dynasty. After all, it was Zhu Silang who disabled Goryeo's five thousand elite cavalry in one battle, and the subsequent influence spread and fermented."

…

The officials discussed sourly and followed Hu Weiyong back to Fengtian Hall.

Shortly after.

Zhu Yuanzhang came with a smile on his face.

After sitting down, he glanced at the ministers, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.

He had already laughed heartily in the imperial study room.

But I still want to laugh!

no way.

My son is too good, there is nothing I can do!

He is also worried.

His eyes moved and finally landed on the scout, "Thank you for your hard work. Please tell us the specific information."

The scout was excited and his stuttering and trembling voice sounded.

"Reply...to report to Your Majesty, Goryeo has brought many cultural objects, calligraphy and paintings. It is said that they are all from the Central Plains and were given to Goryeo by the Yuan Dynasty..."

Pooh!

Zhu Yuanzhang and all the officials sighed secretly at the same time.

Reward from the Yuan Dynasty?

At that time, Goryeo was a servant of the Yuan Dynasty. The servant army not only participated in the destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty, but also suppressed various rebel armies at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

These works, calligraphy and paintings were clearly plundered from the Central Plains when they were servants of the army.

Now I'm scared.

So return them all and throw the blame to the Yuan Dynasty.

A small country with few people, shameless!

…

"In addition, Goryeo also presented hundreds of beauties to His Majesty. It is reported that they are all daughters of Goryeo nobles. Two of them are the princesses of Goryeo, one is the youngest sister of the Goryeo king, and the other is the daughter of the Goryeo king... …”

…

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang and all the officials smile.

The Koreans wanted Ming Dynasty to recognize them.

Just give him a hundred noble ladies.

The king even sent his sister and daughter.

After the scouts finished their report and were taken down by the imperial army, Zhu Yuanzhang looked around at the ministers and asked with a smile: "Dear ministers, please tell me, under what standards should the court receive the Goryeo envoys?"

Hu Weiyong glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Although Emperor Zhu didn't say a word: This is the credit of our son.

But the expression on his face already said so.

Immediately, he stepped out of the queue and said, "Your Majesty, Zhu Xiucai is the biggest contributor to this matter. I think it is better to let Zhu Xiucai lead the Ministry of Ceremonies to welcome him."

"The winner will welcome the loser, which will not only show the magnanimity of our heavenly country, but also scare Goryeo. Such a small country is the most capricious."

The bastard fourth child in our family doesn't like to be seen in public.

Zhu Yuanzhang regretfully slandered. Although he thought Hu Weiyong's proposal was very good, he knew that the fourth son would not be happy with it.

Let's forget about such a trivial matter.

If you give too many orders, the bastard will be unhappy and may give up.

It’s better to use good steel on the blade.

Of course, there is no need for the officials to know his thoughts.

He immediately shook his head and said, "The Korean envoy is not worthy of being welcomed by our fourth son. Let's see, let the Ministry of Etiquette welcome them on our behalf."

Hu Weiyong was slightly stunned.

He originally wanted to cater to Emperor Zhu's wishes, so he proposed this.

Are you on the horse's lap?

"Zhao Zhu!"

The Minister of Rites hurriedly stood up and said, "I'm here!"

"You lead the etiquette department to welcome the Korean envoys."

"I obey the decree!"

…

The news soon spread from the palace.

The people in Jinling discussed it one after another.

"Goryeo wants to pay tribute to our Ming Dynasty?"

"Yes! It is said that Korea sent more than a hundred beauties this time, including the princess of Korea."

"What is the Lord?"

"Princess of Korea, they don't dare to overstep the title of princess, so they call themselves Princess Princess."

"To say that Goryeo abandoned the Northern Yuan Dynasty and turned to respect our Ming Dynasty, it must be attributed to King Yan who traveled thousands of miles and traveled across the grasslands."

"By the way, why hasn't Prince Yan shown up since he came back? Could it be that he hasn't left Miss Xu's gentle hometown yet?"

…

puff!

Xu Miaoyun couldn't help laughing, turned her head, covered her red face with a colorful Nuo opera mask, turned around, and asked with a teasing smile: "Is Prince Yan still immersed in the gentle land woven by the Xu family?"

Zhu Di held Xiao Qihua and Xiao Yongming in his arms, smiling and staring.

People can really think wildly.

How long has it been since he came back?

Not bad, not bad, to put it more implicitly.

At least it didn’t say: King Yan fell exhausted on Miss Xu’s bed!

The six inspections have come to an end.

Next came some dignitaries, relatives of the emperor and the country.

When the children come to Jinling, I haven’t taken them out to take a good look at Jinling.

During this time, the children were also quite nervous, so I took them out to relax.

He never imagined that he would hear people talking about him like this.

Xu Miaoyun took out a few pennies, bought the mask, and continued walking with Zhu Di.

He secretly looked at Zhu Di with a smile, "If you don't show up anymore, I will become a concubine in the hearts of the people."

"you?"

Zhu Di glanced at her deliberately and chuckled, "When your little waist is gone and you run away from home, then you can say that you are a concubine."

puff!

Xu Miaoyun lowered her head with a smile, stepped forward, and stepped on Zhu Di's shadow with her toes.

After a moment, her pretty face turned slightly red and she raised her head, moving slightly closer, "This time Goryeo is dedicating two princesses. I infer that the younger sister of the Goryeo King should be dedicated to his father. Could it be that the daughter of the Goryeo King is... Dedicated to you, if you like it, I will support you with both hands..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Di raised his head and stared at the front.

The man was already scared, so he couldn't hold back his laughter and walked forward quickly.

Zhu Di smiled and shook his head, looking down at Xiao Yongming and Xiao Qihua, "You mother, you are a good girl, love to play, like to cause trouble, but also a coward."

The two little guys raised their heads and looked at Zhu Di with wide eyes, as if to say: Are you cowardly? Is that for you, dad?

A moment later, Zhu Di caught up with Xu Miaoyun and whispered fiercely: "Don't be too tired. Be prepared to run away from home tonight. You are too tired during the day. If you want to run away from home at night, you won't be able to!"

…

That night.

Lu Mansion.

study.

Lu Zhao looked at Lu Ben's hesitation and finally couldn't help but said: "Father, we are going to inspect our home tomorrow. During this period, I also asked the accountant to make two preparations. Do you want to hide something? You have to Made up my mind!"

He really couldn't understand what his father was afraid of.

The prince has already taught Zhu Silang a lesson: If I don’t give it to you, it’s not yours, but if I give it to you, it’s yours!

Even if Zhu Silang really finds out.

He, Zhu Silang, dares to touch the Lu family?

His sister is the crown prince’s concubine!

His nephew is the prince's son!

To find out about the Lu family is to slap the prince in the face and discredit the prince!

Even if Zhu Silang finds out, he will definitely pretend it didn't happen.

Lu Ben glared fiercely, "I said, everything must be centered on Yun Wen now. Our Lu family must become a plus point for the prince to like Yun Wen, not a deduction!"

He never found out.

new

How did Zhu Silang discover the loopholes of those colleagues who tried to get through but were discovered?

Did you find clues from the number of acres of land and the grain harvest in the account books?

This is indeed possible.

After all, the output of the fields varies.

But basically it just fluctuates up and down the average number calculated by the imperial court.

…

He had thought of all the flaws that he could think of.

It stands to reason that if you hand over the fake accounts to Zhu Silang, you should be able to get away with it.

But what if?

Discredit the prince.

The prince must hate the Lu family.

boom!

At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the door.

Lu Ben and Lu Zhao's expressions suddenly changed.

Lu Zhao jumped up suddenly, rushed to the door, opened the door and shouted angrily: "Who!"

No one answered, only the sound of wind was quiet...

Lu Ben came over with a dark face and lowered his head...

An envelope is placed by the door.

He bent down and picked up the envelope with a solemn expression. He checked left and right, and after confirming that no one was there, he gave a suppressed command: "Close the door!"

Snapped!

The father and son closed the door and returned to the desk.

Lu Ben sat down and stared at the envelope. After thinking for a moment, he picked up the envelope and opened it with trembling hands.

When you see clearly what's inside.

His face changed instantly.

"Father, why is it a piece of cake?"

"No...it's not an ordinary piece..." Lu Ben's old face was pale, his lips were trembling, and his voice was trembling, "It's the Jinyiwei Secret Music..."

He had seen similar secret notes in the prince's study.

This is a special secret memorial written by Jin Yiwei after hearing the news.

Plop!

Lu Zhao's heels became weak and he fell to the ground.

Lu Ben hated Tie Bucheng and glared. He was so courageous and yet he was so bold that he said he was not afraid of Zhu Silang.

A piece of trash that pretends to be powerful!

If there is no relationship with the prince and he dies again, this son will be nothing!

'No matter how much it costs, the prince must love Yunwen, just like Emperor Zhu loves Zhu Silang now! ’

This idea has never been so firm as it is now.

My son is an Adou who cannot hold up the wall.

The rise and fall of the Lu family, their honor and disgrace, all depended on their daughter and Yunwen.

His goals are not high.

The evil thought that appeared in his mind from time to time, although it flashed from time to time, he would never dare to dream about it.

Even less dare to put it into practice.

As long as Yun Wen can be like Zhu Silang now.

Look how majestic Zhu Silang is now.

In the eyes of Emperor Zhu, his status is probably on par with that of the Crown Prince!

Zhu Shiro can.

So can his grandson!

Lu Ben took a deep breath, gathered his thoughts, and opened the secret report with a trembling voice: The subordinates conducted a secret investigation and found out that he was the prince's father-in-law...

Snap!

Lu Ben's hand trembled, and the secret instrument fell off the table.

Ten games in Peiping!

Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Di were playing chess in Prince Qin's Mansion in Peiping. He ordered his confidants to spread the news, causing a sensation in Peiping.

It was actually controlled by Jin Yiwei!

Does Emperor Zhu know?

Does the prince know?

Who sent this thing outside his house?

Zhu Silang?

impossible!

…

In extreme fear, Lu Ben's mind was in chaos, and various speculations emerged.

I almost scared myself to death.

After a while, I finally calmed down.

Cold sweat dripped down his pale face.

"Father...Father, who sent this? What do you want to do?" Lu Zhao held the table with both hands and stammered in panic.

When Lu Ben was extremely frightened, Lu Zhao also read the contents of the secret memorial.

Lu Zhao's eyes widened and he looked at Lu Ben in horror.

He couldn't understand why his father was so bold as to do such taboo things.

Lu Ben came back to his senses after hearing the sound and glared at Lu Zhao, "By doing this for my father, I am flattering Zhu Silang to kill him!"

"Father, during this period, the people of Jinling are talking about Zhu Silang..."

Lu Ben sneered and shook his head, "Father did not do this, it should be another group of people who want to praise and kill Zhu Silang. Father is not the only one who wants the prince and Zhu Silang to turn against each other."

After saying that, he glared coldly and added: "This matter is not allowed to be announced to the outside world!"

Lu Zhao nodded hurriedly.

It's exciting to think about having the prince and Zhu Silang turn against each other.

Zhu Silang is dead!

But once Emperor Zhu noticed such a big thing, he would lose his head.

It's about life, how stupid must he be to speak out.

Lu Zhao's eyes fell on the secret music again, "Father, who sent this thing outside the study?"

Lu Ben frowned, "This thing should have been investigated by the former Peking Jinyiwei General Banner, which is now the Hundred Household Ji Gang..."

But Ji Gang has only been in the capital for a long time.

And it’s just one hundred households.

It is impossible to place spies in the Lu family.

I have access to this secret memorial and can arrange for it to be delivered outside the study.

There is and only one person...

"Jiang𤩽!"

Lu Ben quickly locked onto Jiang 𤩽, "This thing was sent by Jiang 𤩽! It has been so long, and he has had many opportunities to do this, but tonight..."

The words stopped abruptly.

Lu Ben's expression changed, and then he raised his head and ordered: "Tomorrow, student Zhu Silang will come to inspect and explain everything!"

Jiang 𤩽 chose tonight to warn him!

As for why I didn't just put a note or something to tell him.

This eagle and dog leader didn't want to give him any clues.

He would never be able to expose Chiang Kai-shek with this secret report.

Exposing Jiang 𤩽 is tantamount to exposing yourself.

…

"At the same time as the warning, Jiang 𤩽 was also showing goodwill to our father and son. This secret report was most likely suppressed by Jiang 𤩽, and Emperor Zhu didn't know about it..."

With that said, Lu Ben put the secret music on the candle and lit it.

Watching with my own eyes the secret music turned into ashes, burning nothing left.

call!

Then he let out a long breath.

Lu Zhao also breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and asked suspiciously: "Father, why does Jiang 𤩽 want to show his kindness to us?"

…

"Commander, the warning has been issued."

Zhenfusi Yamen.

In the dim official room.

Qianhu stood in the dark corner of the door and whispered.

snort!

Jiang 𤩽 snorted angrily, "Both Lu and his son are idiots!"

He originally planned to keep this secret message, and perhaps use this secret message to control Lu Ben at a critical moment in the future.

Lu Ben was the father of the crown prince's concubine.

If you hold Lu Ben under control, you can get a lot of benefits.

It can even become a talisman at critical moments!

But the foolish behavior of the Lu family and his son who felt sorry for a little property forced him to change his excuse to show kindness.

Showing kindness means.

Future cooperation with Lu Ben must at least be mutually beneficial.

Why didn't he write a note and tell Lu Ben: Jin Yiwei has secretly handed over the criminal records of hundreds of officials to Zhu Silang?

This kind of note, mentioning Jin Yiwei, is giving Lu Ben an excuse!

He would rather use this secret message than give the clue to Lu Ben.

"Forget it, Lu Ben is the father of the crown prince's concubine after all, so just be friends with him."

In fact, he wanted to make good friends with the Chang family.

There is no chance.

…

The next day.

The children reappeared in Jade Lane.

The nobles, relatives and relatives of the emperor were very cooperative.

…

The third day.

List day.

Ministry of Rites.

Shangshu's official room.

While Zhao Zhu was cleaning up, he told his assistants: "I am going to greet the Korean envoys. After the ranking order of the imperial examination is agreed upon, I will immediately send people to post it in the city. There is no need to ask your Majesty for permission on this matter. Even if you ask for permission, Your Majesty, in order to avoid suspicion, will I won’t even ask.”

"Let them be fair and impartial! No personal emotions are allowed in the imperial examination!"

…

There is a standard process for grading imperial examinations.

After reading them, you should choose the ones that make the list.

In the second reading, the candidates' test papers will be anonymously ranked.

In the third reading, the seal of the place of birth column was removed and the sorting was fine-tuned. This was done mainly to consider the issue of geographical balance.

Although divided into south and north lists.

But within a ranking, there are also gaps between regions. In some areas where education is not prosperous, the court will always take care of it by fine-tuning the rankings.

This year's Jurencai Examination was delayed until the day when the results were released, but they couldn't agree on it. The problem lies in Zhu Silang's ranking.

Several of the officials participating in the review supported the prince.

After Sanyue removed the seal, Zhu Silang's ranking became the focus of controversy.

He had not expressed his position before, just wanting to wait for these colleagues to come to a consensus on their own.

But now it seems that it is impossible for him not to intervene.

There are other ways to contain Zhu Silang.

It must not be at the expense of destroying the fairness of the imperial examination!

He would never allow this to happen.

"Tell all my colleagues who are involved in the evaluation to treat every scholar on the list as a scholar who studied hard in a poor life. Don't take factors that have nothing to do with the imperial examination into consideration just because they are princes!"

As for the marking colleagues, they only treat Zhu Silang as a scholar.

Review Zhu Silang's examination papers according to the standards for treating scholars.

Perhaps, the conclusion has already been reached.

"I will convey your Lord's instructions to all my colleagues immediately."

…

at the same time.

Yingtianfu Yamenwai.

There are already huge crowds of people.

"Why haven't you posted a list yet?"

"No, I want to know now whether Zhu Silang passed the examination and how many places he got."

"Me too, I still want to finish it and rush to the outside of the city to see what the Koreans look like."

…

Please ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.

There are two chapters today, totaling more than 11,700 words. I will strive for more tomorrow.
