Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Yunwen and asked sternly,
"In the first year of Hongwu, the capital was on fire and the four directions were flooded.”
"As of this year, nearly three hundred natural disasters have been reported in all parts of our Ming Dynasty.”
"Then shouldn't we abdicate today?!”
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this, Zhu Yunwen instantly broke out in a cold sweat and knelt on the ground.
Wasn't he just trying to flatter his Imperial Grandfather?
How did it hit the horse's hooves?
"Yun Wen, Yun Wen's skills are not good enough, please punish him.”
Zhu Yunwen's words caused the surrounding ministers to kneel on the ground.
Teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy.
If Zhu Yunwen was convicted of this matter.
None of them could escape.
Everyone present instantly became nervous.
"We will die…"
Zhu Yuanzhang smashed the teacup in his hand onto the ground.
"Did I say I wanted you to die? I'm just asking you, if my Great Ming encounters such a year, what should I do!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's shout stunned everyone.
Ru Taisu and the others were scared out of their wits.
How could he say that?
It was nothing more than having no money or food!
A clever housewife can't cook without rice.
We have the ability to turn stone into gold. Who is an official here?
In the end, Zhan Hui, who was kneeling on the ground, was the smart one.
He hurriedly raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, shouting,
"Your Majesty, I have an idea!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhan Hui and asked,
"Speak!"
Zhan Hui blurted out,
"Your Majesty, today is the court examination. The new scholars are all waiting for the examination in the Jinshen Hall. Your Majesty, why don't you use this as a test? The new scholars might have a way to break out of this situation!”
As soon as he said this.
Old Zhu suddenly came back to his senses.
After all, the news from Chongzhen was too explosive.
For a moment, Old Zhu had forgotten that the new Jinshi were still waiting in the Jinshen Hall.
"I'm going to the Hall of Respect!"
"Yes!"
Seeing Old Zhu relent, the surrounding people heaved a sigh of relief.
Only Ru Taisu secretly gave Zhan Hui a thumbs up.
"Zhan Butang, you're so smart! It's all thanks to you that we're in this house.”
Zhan Hui smiled helplessly and said,
"There's no other reason. I'm familiar with your hands and ears."
……
Not long after.
Zhu Yuanzhang's carriage quietly appeared outside the Hall of Self-respect.
When the newly admitted scholars who had been at a loss in the hall heard this news, they immediately returned to their seats.
"Greetings, student…"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand impatiently.
"Stop bowing!"
"Men, remove all the desks!”
The new candidates were stunned.
Even though Old Zhu had done some spectacular court examinations before, that was more than ten years ago.
Therefore, no one was mentally prepared.
Sitting on the dragon throne, Old Zhu looked at the people in front of him indifferently and said,
"We only have one question for today's court examinations.”
"Whoever answers well, we will pick their champion.”
"You guys better listen up."
"If one day, our Ming Dynasty suffers from natural disasters year after year, the national treasury is empty, there are strong enemies knocking on the pass outside, and there are rebels rising all over the country, what can we do?”
As soon as he said this.
Everyone present was instantly stunned on the spot.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang quietly sized up the people in front of him and asked,
"Have you thought it through? There were strong enemies outside, the country had no savings, and natural disasters continued for years. How could they break this situation?”
All the scholars looked at each other.
Didn't they say that the court examinations were just a formality?
Is your family going through the motions like this?
Was this a method that humans could think of?
Among the crowd, only one person carefully sized up Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon throne.
Su Qiao had obviously treated this trip to the Ming Dynasty as a vacation.
Since he was already here, it was worth it to not be able to go out and take a look at what Old Zhu looked like.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon throne, also noticed Su Qiao.
Out of all the new candidates in the hall, only Su Qiao dared to raise his head to look at Old Zhu.
Old Zhu couldn't help but notice Su Qiao even if he wanted to.
The monarch and minister exchanged glances.
Su Qiao could not be bothered to pretend anymore. He stood up and stepped forward to say loudly,
"I have a way!"
As soon as he said that, everyone's eyes instantly focused on Su Qiao.
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Qiao carefully, then asked,
"Tell me your idea!"
Su Qiao took a deep breath.
After all, it was his first time courting death.
He didn't have much experience.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous.
After pondering for a long time, Su Qiao immediately spat out two words in a clear and fluent manner.
"Seize the house!"
This was the first time.
Who else could they raid?
As long as it was a house that could be raided.
Could he say it in this place?!
The entire court was in mourning. Only Ru Taisu looked at Su Qiao in shock, and a faint sense of cherishing talent rose in her heart.
Hurriedly stepping forward, he cupped his hands and said,
"Your Majesty, I've waited for too long. Perhaps I'm a little muddle-headed. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”
After saying that, Ru Taisu turned back to look at Su Qiao and winked at him desperately.
"Wunajuzi, why aren't you retreating!"
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon throne, slammed the table and scolded Ru Taisu.
Did we ask you?"
"You didn't say a word when we asked you just now. Now that someone has said it, you won't let anyone say it?! Get lost!"
Ru Taisu shivered and retreated without saying anything.
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Su Qiao and gritted his teeth.
"Young man, speak!"
Su Qiao did not mind at all and said indifferently,
"First copy the civil officials and scholar-bureaucrats, then copy the vassal kings and clan relatives, and finally copy the meritorious officials!”
