Wenhua Hall.
Zhu Bai returned after delivering the memorial and sat beside the dragon table.
"Imperial Father, the impeachment memorials have been sent to Twelfth Brother.”
Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial in his hand.
He asked curiously.
"How is it? Is this kid afraid?”
Zhu Biao shook his head.
"Imperial Father, not only is Twelfth Brother not afraid, he is probably still thinking about it.
How can I take revenge?"
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang only smiled.
"As expected of our prince. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
However, those officials wouldn't be too calculative with a nine year old child.
Otherwise, they would have no place to put their faces.
This matter passed in two to three days.”
After talking about Zhu Bai, the two of them started talking about serious matters.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked solemnly.
"Biao Er, what do you think of this case?”
Zhu Biao said seriously.
"Imperial Father, your son has investigated the Imperial Censorate and the Imperial Academy.
Then the problem in this imperial examination could only be the examinees.
Your son feels that there are a few specific reasons.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said.
"Continue."
"Imperial Father, the first is the territory.
The imperial examination capital was in the south, and the Jiangnan scholars only needed a few days to reach it.
The farther ones were only a dozen days 'journey.
However, if it was a scholar from the north, it would take a month or even longer to travel.”
Zhu Yuanzhang also thought of this reason.
However, he felt that this was not the main reason.
Zhu Biao continued.
"The second is the two sages of Shandong, because of their deaths.
There were many northern scholars who were ill-informed and misunderstood the imperial court's decrees.
Shandong was a major province for scientific examinations.
Scholars are afraid and uneasy. How can they be willing to come to the imperial examination?”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, but he still didn't think so.
This was the main reason for the imperial examination case.
"Biao 'er, what you said.
A few years ago, the imperial examination also existed, but it was not to the extent that not a single northern scholar was on the list.”
Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and then continued.
"Imperial Father, Twelfth Brother told me about some phenomena just now.
He said that when he was reading the papers, he could see many sentences that he had learned from his heart.”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang started to pay attention.
"Mind study? Is it the one Bai 'er made?"
Zhu Biao nodded.
"Imperial Father, that's right.
In today's Hanlin Academy, the study of the heart was quite popular.
Since the examinees could use this to please the Imperial Academy, they could also find the articles written by the chief examiner Song Lian in the past.
According to the content and style of the article, prepare the questions in advance.”
Zhu Yuanzhang finally understood.
How did the person behind the scenes manage to manipulate the imperial examination without participating?
Using the information advantage!
"Biao 'er, you're right.
However, Song Lian was not an ordinary person. It was not easy for him to do all this.”
Zhu Biao guessed.
"Imperial Father, my 12th brother and I are suspicious.
Someone in the court had deliberately done this to test his father.”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction.
The Crown Prince was aware of this.
Then he could rest assured that the Crown Prince would not be deceived by the officials.
At the same time, he had a higher opinion of Zhu Bai.
"That's right, Biao 'er, you and Bai' er guessed correctly.
This was not something that ordinary people could do.
Continue, who is the person behind this?”
Zhu Biao shook his head.
"Imperial Father, your son.
Your son does not know."
Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table.
"You don't know, or you don't dare to say!”
Zhu Biao immediately stood up and cupped his hands.
"Imperial Father, they are all old people who fought together!
Even if there's no credit, there's still hard work!"
Huaixi has made great contributions.
When Zhu Biao was in the west courtyard of Cining Palace.
He had already thought of this group of people.
Zhu Biao clearly knew that there were two factions in the court.
One was the Huaixi dignitaries led by Li Shan Chang.
The other was the Eastern Zhejiang faction led by Liu Bowen.
The latter was far weaker than the former.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.
How could he not understand what the Crown Prince was saying?
But these years, Zhu Yuanzhang had repeatedly reminded him.
It is easy to conquer the world, but it is difficult to sit in the world. Let the old ministers know their place.
However, not many people really listened.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.
"Biao Er, go and call Yang Xian from the Ministry of Central Affairs over.”
Zhu Biao cupped his hands and said.
"Yes, Imperial Father."
He clearly remembered that Yang Xian was Liu Bowen's disciple.
……
The next day.
Cining Palace West Garden.
Zhu Bai was still wearing his prince's clothes.
He didn't want to wear the official robe of the Imperial Academy anymore.
Nothing good ever happens when you wear it!
Arriving in front of the Imperial Academy, Zhu Bai was slightly hesitant.
He was afraid that Hanlin would be waiting for him inside.
He stuck his head out and took a look.
There was no one standing in the courtyard.
Hanlin, who was walking back and forth, was also in a hurry.
Because of this, Zhu Bai walked forward with relief.
He walked in the direction of the library.
However, just as she reached the door, she heard a familiar voice from inside.
It was Wang Gen.
Zhu Biao didn't rush in, but eavesdropped at the door.
Inside the library.
Wang Gen was holding a book.
The Hanlin Academy in front of him was more than half of the Hanlin Academy.
"Everyone, the study of the heart is contrary to the study of science.
You guys have to think carefully. Studying the study of the heart is not that simple.”
At first, Wang Gen and the others who studied the study of the mind were only half of the Hanlin Academy.
Currently, there were at least 40 to 50 people gathered in the Book House.
It was most of the people in the Imperial Academy.
"It's fine! The entire Hanlin Academy was saved by His Highness Prince Xiang.
Why should we be afraid of reading a book?"
"Yes, I had many misunderstandings about His Highness Xiang Wang.
Only now did he repent.
Prince Xiang was so young, yet he already had such breadth of mind and courage!”
"That's right. We want to see His Highness Xiang Wang's mind.
What exactly is it?"
Wang Gen nodded.
He continued to introduce the book in his hand.
"What His Highness Xiang Wang is carrying out is the content of the study of the heart.
This book is a record of His Highness Xiang Wang answering our questions.
Let's call him temporarily and record him.”
Outside the library, Zhu Bai was puzzled.
Since when had she ever answered his question?
Didn't he ignore her every time?
Soon, Wang Gen began to recite in the library.
Hanlin, who had never heard of the study of the mind, pricked up their ears.
"Q: What is the study of the mind?
Mr. said: the heart is the truth, the world has things outside the heart, is the truth outside the heart?”
Then, Wang Gen began to tell the story of how he first learned the study of the mind.
"That day, I asked Teacher, what is the use of learning the mind?
Teacher only called for the teapot and asked me to hold an empty cup in my hand and constantly pour hot water into it.
At first I was stupid and didn't know what to do.
His fingers were scalded by the overflowing hot water.
Only then did he understand that the teapot in his hand was the desire of the world.
The empty cup I hold is our own.
Sir is using this to warn us.
The study of the heart is the knowledge that allows us to understand our hearts.”
Wang Gen addressed Zhu Bai as Mister.
After these words were said, the Hanlin scholars all praised him.
"Cai!
There were many people in the world who were greedy for fame and fortune. It was as if they were holding a teacup in their hands, and they did not know that the overflowing water would burn their hands!”
"Good knowledge!"
Compared to the six departments, the Hanlin Academy was more clean.
Compared to the officials of the six ministries, he was more accepting of the knowledge of being an honest official.
But Zhu Bai outside the library.
He expressed that he could not accept this.
He couldn't imagine that the entire Hanlin Academy was studying the study of the mind.
The more the people inside listened, the clearer they became.
Outside, Zhu Bai was more and more shocked the more he heard.
