Imperial College.
Juxian Hall.
The magnificent palace stood before them. Zhu Bi and Zhu Biao nodded in satisfaction. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the Hall of Virtue with a red face and said,"It's really magnificent. The students are playing with words here. It's like sitting in a dragon palace.”
"Once the students are on the Golden Roll."
" That is to leap through the Dragon Gate."
The Duke of Korea, Lee Shan Chang, who was beside Zhu Yuanzhang, also smiled.
After all.
He was now the number one scholar in the world!
Liu Bowen was second!
Most of the officials in the court were their students!
Now that the Ming Dynasty was holding the first Enke, he and Liu Bowen would definitely take up the post, so this was a good thing. Moreover, this also symbolized the Ming Dynasty's prosperity, so his face should be happy.
"Let's go."
"Let's go in and take a look."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded. Then, he took the lead and strode into the Hall of Gathering Virtues. Zhu Xi, who was following behind him, felt that something was wrong. He felt that the stone bricks at the door made it difficult to step on, but he didn't think too much about it.
After all.
Who would make a fuss at the gate?
Who would dare to make a fuss at this juncture!
That would be courting death!
"Sage Selection Hall."
"This name isn't appropriate. Change it to Gathering Hall of Virtue. It gathers all the officials in the world. What Gathering Hall of Virtue?”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lee Shan Chang beside him and said. Lee Shan Chang nodded and then looked at Zhu Biao and Zhu Wei beside him and said with a smile,"Biao 'er, Pin' er, including the previous dynasty, how long has it been since we last held a grand examination?”
"Reporting to Imperial Father."
"It has been at least 20 years since the first year of the previous dynasty.”
Prince Zhu Biao was indeed knowledgeable and talented. He was almost all-encompassing. Even Zhu Xi had to admit defeat. Zhu Xi was good at war and Zhu Biao was good at governing the country. Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed good at judging people.
"That's why."
"We must do a good job in the first batch of Enke in the new Ming Dynasty!”
"Let these scholars feel that learning in our new dynasty has a boundless future!”
Zhu Yuanzhang, as the leader of a generation, naturally had great ambitions. This was the future middle power of the Ming Dynasty, and he definitely could not be ignored. The corners of his mouth also revealed a wide smile. Since ancient times, only he, Zhu Yuanzhang, could compare to the present!
"Pin 'er."
"You're a good soldier, but you can't let go of your own knowledge. Our Old Zhu family can't afford to suffer the loss of not being educated. So for this year's Enke, I want you to be the director of the Great Ming's first Enke examination.”
When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, Lee Shan Chang's face turned extremely ugly. He had thought that he had already obtained the position of the chief examiner today, but he did not expect Zhu Yuanzhang to make such an arrangement. Then why did he still need to accompany him today?
To promote his own son for these old ministers to see?
"Father."
"Let's leave it to Li Xiangguo."
"Your son only understands military and political affairs. If I mess up Great Ming's first reward, I really deserve to die ten thousand times. Moreover, Li Xiangguo is also your son's teacher.”
Although Zhu Rong did not understand Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning, with his little talent and knowledge, it was better not to lose face in the first batch of the Ming Dynasty's Enke, so he threw this pot to Li Shan Chang.
Although…
Lee Shan Chang had only taught him for a short time, but he could still be called a teacher!
This was reasonable!
"That's because we didn't think it through. Good Head, what do you think?”
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be very satisfied with Zhu Rong's answer. He smiled at Li Shanchang and said,"I was originally afraid that you would be burdened with state affairs and didn't want you to be busier. Unfortunately, your disciple wasn't willing to share your burden, so I can only work harder for you.”
"Your Majesty, please show mercy!"
"How dare I forget my worries!"
"Furthermore, this honor makes me feel extremely emotional!”
"This subject receives the decree to thank you!"
Li Shan Chang also instantly understood. It seemed that Old Zhu was paving the way for his son, and also to let him know how to repay his kindness. In the court, he would help King Qi Zhu He even at the expense of establishing the unfamiliar status of teacher and student. Therefore, he could only accept the edict to thank him.
"Boss, do you really think it's necessary?”
"I've always been lawless. Does it really matter whether I have Li Shan Chang or not?”
Zhu Rong didn't quite understand what Zhu Yuanzhang was doing, so he looked at Zhu Biao and asked,""Besides, Li Shan Chang is your teacher and also the leader of Huaixi's nobility. He's a rare help to you. What is Father trying to do by pushing him to me?”
"The majority of the generals in Huaixi's Noble Families are led by you and me.”
"Only Li Shan Chang contradicted you in the court.”
"There's also Hu Weiyong and Liu Bowen."
"Father wants you and me to be on the same side. Only by joining forces can we control these proud soldiers and valiant generals!”
Zhu Biao was able to see it clearly. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang had already spoken to him before, and he had no objections to this matter at all. This was also a way to balance the stability of the Ming Dynasty.
"But I'm not liked by the civil officials.”
"Liu Bowen, who I tried to protect back then, went against me everywhere.”
"There is also the Eastern Zhejiang Party formed by our teacher Song Lian and Liu Bowen.”
"The situation in the court is more complicated than war.”
"This is the reason why I don't want to become an official in the court. It's so cool to lead troops to war!”
"There's no need to consider anything!"
"After all."
"It's normal for a general to not accept the orders of a ruler outside!”
Zhu Xiong shook his head helplessly. This was also a criticism from ancient dynasties. Either the generals monopolized power and were arrogant and despotic, or the civil officials held power and replaced the emperor. It was probably not that easy to achieve the true balance!
But then, he nodded.
The Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang in front of Zhu Rong really did it!
After Zhu Biao died, he killed all the civil and military officials!
Leaving behind a Da Ming who was about to transform!
Lure out a generation of heroes, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di!
This was definitely an awesome existence!
It wasn't without reason that the Great Ming Dynasty could last for nearly 300 years!
After all.
The ancient feudal dynasties could only sit firmly on the throne if they were ruthless!
Count up!
Heavenly Strategy General Li Shimin and Zhao Kuangyin, who didn't have their own methods?
They were both rebels!
Other than the clans!
How similar was fate!
The Way of Balance?
Each one was more skilled than the other!
Of course.
Zhao Kuangyin was a little sad. He didn't know why he died.
"Clang."
Zhu Yuanzhang walked on the path of Juxian Hall like a dragon and tiger. Then, he stopped for a moment as if he had stepped on air. Then, he turned around and looked at the stone brick. He suddenly stepped on it and created a big pit. He looked at Lee Shan Chang with doubt and anger on his face."Why is this stone slab so brittle and thin? Could this be the Dragon Dao of the En Ke Great Examination?”
"Who did it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang hated corrupt people the most in his life. Moreover, they dared to play such a corrupt trick under his nose. If he did not kill them today, did he really think that he, Old Zhu, had no temper?
"Your Majesty."
"The Ministry of Works will host it, and the Construction Division will host it.”
Lee Shan Chang's forehead was also covered in cold sweat. He quickly bowed and cupped his hands at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"On the day of the test."
"Do all students have to enter from this dragon path?”
"Ah!"
"If they stomp a big hole in the ground!”
"What will they think!"
"The Hall of Gathering Virtues that gathers all the scholars in the world!”
"It's actually a shabby place!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression also became extremely terrifying. The terrifying pressure of being an emperor surged out violently. Then, he looked at the ministers beside him and shouted angrily!
"Your Majesty!"
"Perhaps the materials used here were accidentally neglected!”
Lee Shan Chang didn't know how to explain himself. After all, he had never asked about the construction of the Hall of Virtue by the Ministry of Works. He didn't expect someone to make a big fuss about it. How dare they!
"Occasionally negligent?"
"Bring me a knife!"
The anger on Zhu Yuanzhang's face had gradually turned into coldness. He took the knife from the guard beside him and walked towards the pillar outside the hall. With a slash, he made a hole in it. The pillar should have been solid, but today it became hollow!
"It's actually empty!"
"Such a pillar is actually an empty pillar!”
"Then how many days can this hall last?"
"Is this the pillar or the coffin?”
"Who exactly did this errand!"
Old Zhu's expression became extremely silent. This was the prelude to his killing. Beside him, Zhu Xiong also looked coldly at Lee Shan Chang and said,"Prime Minister, if you haven't asked about this matter, quickly send someone to investigate. Otherwise, this king can't guarantee what kind of actions this king will do when he's angry!”
"Great Ming's first Enke, how dare you fool me like this!”
"The Imperial Court's grace has been stolen by these lowly people!”
"Corrupted officials!"
"Filthy officials!"
"There must be corrupt officials here!”
"Fortunately, we made a big hole today!”
"A corrupt official has stepped out!"
"Who did it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand at Zhu Rong and then looked at the ministers below. No one was willing to admit it, so he said coldly,"After we find out, we'll definitely chop him off and bury his head in that hole. Let all the officials in the world step over his head and make sure that he can never rise again!”
