If He Wants to Raise Our Pot, We'll Chop Off His Head!
In the magnificent hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. There were dragons on his chest and shoulders. His sleeves were narrow and he was full of dignity.
His face was filled with anger.
When the emperor was angry, millions of people died.
"This bunch of vermin!"
"We've spent our money to support them, but they don't do anything for the country and the people. They only think about plundering the people's wealth, making the people happy, and corruption.”
"And this time, they even dared to tamper with the imperial examinations!”
"Our Great Ming will sooner or later be destroyed in the hands of this group of vermin!!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's chest heaved up and down, his face flushed red and his breathing quickened.
"Father, please calm down."
Zhu Biao stepped forward and held Zhu Yuanzhang in worry, afraid that he would faint on the spot.
"How do you expect me to calm down!"
"This group of short-sighted insects!"
"The imperial examination was set up for the poor students of the world. It can recruit talents from all over the world and work for our Ming Dynasty.”
"They actually dared to leak the exam questions!"
"Those who can get the exam questions must be the sons of those wealthy families or merchants. If they get the exam questions, how unfair would it be to the poor students who study hard!”
"They are trampling on the imperial examination!”
"They are even looking down on our Great Ming's laws!”
"We're going to kill all the bugs that leaked the exam questions! They would skin them alive and hang their heads on the city gates to show the officials of the world. At the same time, they would not let go of those examinees who wanted to cheat!”
"Those ignorant and incompetent people are trying to use such dirty methods to trample on the imperial examination. What do they think the imperial examination is?!
The imperial examinations are to screen out the talents of the world to work for our Ming Dynasty. By doing this, could it be that they want to stuff their own people into the Imperial Court and control the lifeline of the Imperial Court? If everyone in the world followed suit, wouldn't the imperial examinations be meaningless?”
"This matter cannot be tolerated!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was trembling with anger.
"Mao Xiang!"
he shouted.
The commander of the Brocade Guard, Mao Xiang, was wearing a flying fish robe, a luan belt, and an embroidered spring saber. He knelt respectfully on one knee, one hand on his knee, and the other on the ground. He replied in an imposing manner,
"Your humble servant is here!"
"I order you to send someone to investigate the leak of the exam questions and find out all those corrupt insects!”
"Yes, sir!"
Mao Xiang replied.
He hurried down and arranged for the Jinyiwei to investigate the leak of the exam questions. Then he returned to the main hall and waited for Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions.
Zhu Yuanzhang paced back and forth in the hall.
"Imperial Father, you have already sent the Embroidered Uniform Guards to investigate the truth. What else is there to be worried about?”
Zhu Biao was confused.
"Biao 'er, you don't know this, but the main examiner for this exam is Liu Sanwu. Liu Sanwu is already very old, almost eighty years old.”
"The leaked exam questions definitely can't be Liu Sanwu.”
"And this time, Liu Sanwu's invigilation actually caused such a big incident. Liu Sanwu was not strict and could not escape the blame.”
"There must be someone in the group of invigilators below who leaked the examination questions. As the saying goes, officials protect each other. If this group of people deliberately cover up for each other, this matter will probably become complicated.”
Zhu Yuanzhang explained.
He stroked his beard and thought,"
"Looks like we have to go there personally."
He didn't trust the invigilators who leaked the exam questions, so he planned to go to the examination hall personally to deal with this matter.
If this group of people protected each other.
It was difficult to find the person who leaked the test questions.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were filled with killing intent.
He would rather kill the wrong person.
He couldn't let it go!
He then cut down all these insects to intimidate the officials of the Ming Dynasty and give them a warning.
They would no longer dare to take bribes.
The imperial examination system was to select talents for the country.
To prevent the aristocratic families from monopolizing the selection of officials.
Such unhealthy tendencies must be nipped in the bud.
Otherwise, the path to selecting officials would be sealed, and the aristocratic families would become stronger.
Just like in the Wei and Jin Dynasties," there were no poor families in the upper class, and there were no gentry families in the lower class." The emperor's power was threatened, and his status would be in danger.
"There's a precedent."
"We can't repeat the same mistake."
"This time, that doctor from the Board of Rites called Yexuan was able to resolve the crisis of this exam in the nick of time.”
"Let's go to the examination hall personally and see what that person looks like.”
"Let's see if that person can be put in an important position.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was interested in Tidas.
"Prepare the carriage."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and was about to instruct Mao Xiang to prepare a carriage to go to the examination hall personally when he saw Zhu Biao, who was supporting him, from the corner of his eye.
Zhu Biao was young and had not experienced much.
This matter might be able to train his ability to handle government affairs.
It would increase his knowledge.
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and said,""Biao 'er, I'll leave this matter to you. Help me go to the examination hall to deal with this matter.”
Zhu Biao is the prince.
In the future, the Ming Dynasty would be handed over to Zhu Biao.
Zhu Yuanzhang had been training Zhu Biao since he was young.
He had come into contact with important military affairs when Zhu Biao was still a minor.
He also let the highest-ranking officials, such as Li Shanchang, Chang Yuchun, Tang He, Xu Da, and Liu Bowen, hold official positions in the Eastern Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang also personally selected Zhang Jie, Guo Qi and more than ten other students from the Imperial College to accompany Zhu Biao.
He even got Wang Yi, Qin Yong, and the others to teach Zhu Biao about rites and music, the path of the emperor, the harvest of farming, and the lessons of the success and failure of the previous dynasties every day to cultivate Zhu Biao's good character.
Zhu Yanzhang also set up a big hall.
Collect ancient and modern books.
Recruit all the famous scholars in the world to take turns teaching Zhu Biao.
Choose talented peers as study partners.
In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang often talked about ancient and modern times with Zhu Biao and the vassal kings.
To educate Zhu Biao and his brothers to live in harmony.
To stabilize the country.
There would be no incidents of brothers killing each other.
Zhu Biao accepted the order.
He immediately rushed to the examination hall.
Seeing Zhu Biao leave, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly waved at Mao Xiang and said,""Quick, prepare a carriage for us and follow the Crown Prince.”
Mao Xiang was stunned.
"Your Majesty, since you want to go to the Examination Hall, why don't you go with the Crown Prince?”
"You don't understand."
"We're trying to cultivate the Crown Prince's ability to handle matters.”
"If I were at the side, the Crown Prince would probably be worried about me.”
"But if we follow him in secret and the Crown Prince doesn't notice us, we can see how the Crown Prince deals with this matter with our own eyes. We can also prevent the Crown Prince from making mistakes and teach him to correct himself.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"I see."
Mao Xiang was enlightened.
Zhu Yuanzhang urged.
"Quickly prepare the horses! Stop talking nonsense. If he was any later, he would have already reached the examination hall.”
"Be careful when you follow behind later. Don't let the Crown Prince discover you!”
"Otherwise, we'll hold you accountable!"
Mao Xiang:
"Yes."
"I'll go immediately."
Mao Xiang chose a low-key carriage and changed into ordinary clothes. He had an embroidered spring knife at his waist and was the coachman for Zhu Yuanzhang. He carried Zhu Yuanzhang and followed behind Zhu Biao's carriage from a distance to the examination hall.
