Daming: Is There Imperial Examination Fraud At The Beginning? I Cry As A Candidate During The Test

Chapter 47 Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order to let Ye Xuan teach the emperor’s grandchildren

"Biao'er, what do you think of Ye Xuan?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment.

"Father, do you want Mr. Ye to be Xiongying and Yunwen's teacher?"

"good."

"Mr. Ye is a great talent, resourceful, knowledgeable, and has novel and unique ideas. Let Mr. Ye be Xiongying's teacher and guide them in their homework. They will definitely make rapid progress in their studies."

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard.

Agree with this view.

Ye Xuan has great talents.

However, he is still too young, and it is definitely not enough to be an important minister of the court.

However, it is more than enough to guide the emperor's grandchildren.

"Then, leave the task of teaching Xiongying, Yunwen and the others to Ye Xuan."

"Someone is coming."

"Preach our will."

Zhu Yuanzhang called the eunuch and asked him to convey his will.

Ministry of Rites.

The officials sat in their seats and were busy with serious faces.

Ye Xuan is wearing a cyan white pheasant official robe. He looks busy, but he is actually fishing.

In the Ministry of Etiquette, he is basically a soy sauce person.

Nothing much happens on weekdays.

He felt like he was going to be too idle to grow grass.

"Oh, Zhu Yuanzhang is too stingy. After I got married, he only gave me a few days of vacation. This is not enough. It is not even enough time for a honeymoon."

Ye Xuan sighed in his heart.

He originally thought about taking Shen Rong back home for a honeymoon trip. Anyway, the most important thing now is money. Who would have thought that the Ministry of Rites told him that he would continue to work in the Ministry of Rites.

At that time, he was confused.

no.

He only had a few days off.

Going to work again?

Ye Xuan felt the pain of social animals.

During the Ming Dynasty, the emperor had very strict management of official holidays.

In the early Ming Dynasty.

Holidays are only available during the Spring Festival and Winter Solstice.

They are 5 days and 3 days respectively.

Ye Xuan got married, and it was great to be able to take so many days off.

"The ancient version of working as a worker... a mud horse..."

Ye Xuan felt embarrassed.

Brainwashing failed.

In the Tang and Song dynasties, there were sixty or seventy legal holidays a year, plus a "muni" holiday every five or six days, which was a day off for officials to rest and bathe. It was equivalent to modern Saturdays and Sundays, at least nearly one hundred days a year. days of rest.

And the Ming Dynasty.

Mud horse.

There are only eight statutory holidays.

As for "muxiu", there is no such thing at all.

You can only take three days off per month.

The holiday time in the Ming Dynasty was only one-half that in the Han Dynasty and one-third that in the Song Dynasty.

In the later period of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang also canceled the three-day holiday per month.

There are three hundred and sixty-five days in a year.

Except for eight days off.

Have to go to work every day.

Officials' salaries will be deducted if they take leave.

This is a proper capitalist face.

However, there were Jin Yiwei monitoring the officials. The officials did not dare to get angry and pretended to go to work happily.

An official of the Ming Dynasty.

I don’t even want to be a dog.

Ye Xuan sighed in his heart.

He yawned secretly and then took a sip of tea.

Thought:

If this continues, he may fall asleep out of boredom.

Just when Ye Xuan decided to pass the time by playing backgammon on paper, the eunuch's distinctive sharp voice came from outside.

“The imperial edict has arrived——!!!”

Liu Sanwu and others were startled, and then horrified.

Could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang was settling his scores over the fraud in the imperial examination?

Everyone went out to receive the order.

The eunuch smiled and said to Ye Xuan in the crowd:

"Master Ye, the Emperor has a decree for you."

The eunuch ignored everyone's surprised looks and opened the door to read out the imperial edict.

"By His Majesty's will."

"The teacher of our grandsons has resigned, leaving a vacancy for the teacher."

"We think it's pretty good."

"Come and be the teacher of the emperor and his grandsons, and teach them knowledge."

"Appreciate this!"

.....................

The eunuch looked at Ye Xuan with a smile.

"Master Ye, please accept the order."

Liu Sanwu and other officials from the Ministry of Rites were all stunned.

Let Ye Xuan be the teacher of the emperor's grandchildren?

The teachers of the emperors and grandsons were generally Confucian scholars, Hanlin bachelors, and bachelors.

Ye Xuan is just a small fifth-rank doctor. In terms of rank and qualifications, Ye Xuan is not in his turn.

Ye Xuan also didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would ask him to teach his grandsons.

Zhu Yuanzhang's sons have grown up.

Some princes have already gone to their fiefdoms.

Therefore, Ye Xuan taught all the emperor's grandchildren.

He had no opinion on this.

Anyway, he was still in the Ministry of Etiquette.

It's better to teach the emperor's grandchildren, have fun, and pass the time.

not to mention.

Whether it's Zhu Yunwen or Zhu Gaochi.

These are all future emperors!

No matter who ascends the throne as emperor in the future, he will be the emperor's master.

This is a good job.

Ye Xuan accepted the imperial edict under the surprised and envious eyes of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

"Your Majesty, take the order."

As soon as it was time for the Ministry of Rites to get off work, Ye Xuan slipped back to Ye Mansion ahead of time before officials from the Ministry of Rites chased and intercepted Ye Xuan and congratulated Ye Xuan.

Ye Mansion, in the courtyard pavilion.

Shen Rong is embroidering.

Chun Chan and Qiu Yue sat aside and followed the embroidery.

"too difficult."

“Why embroidery is so hard.”

Chun Chan put down the handkerchief in her hand quite discouragedly.

Qiuyue covered the corners of her mouth and showed a peaceful smile.

"Chun Chan, that's because you are too impatient. Embroidery requires patience."

"let me see."

"How's your embroidery going?"

Chun Chan handed the semi-finished product to Qiu Yue.

When Qiuyue looked at it, the smile on her face froze.

After a long time, she struggled to spit out a few words.

"This dog is so unique."

"This is a cat!"

"............"

Chun Chan lay down on the table in frustration.

"Miss, why do you suddenly want to embroider?"

"I'm the worst at this."

A smile bloomed on Shen Rong's beautiful face.

"I suddenly wanted to embroider on a whim. Anyway, Chunchan, you can practice your embroidery."

Chun Chan was even more discouraged.

She rolled her dark eyes, staring at the happy smile on her young lady's face, and then looking at the obvious men's clothes in her hands, she suddenly understood.

"Miss, do you want to sew clothes for my uncle with your own hands?"

After her thoughts were exposed, Shen Rong's cheeks turned red.

"Lady."

"I'm back!"

Ye Xuan's voice came.

I saw him striding towards Shen Rong and the girls in the pavilion.

"Uncle."

Chun Chan and Qiu Yue quickly stood up and shouted.

Ye Xuan nodded.

"Uncle, what is that in your hand?"

Chun Chan looked over curiously.

Ye Xuan directly pushed the imperial edict over.

Chunchan opened it and looked at it, Qiuyue also leaned over, and then they saw clearly what was inside.

Two exclamations sounded.

Shen Rong, who was wiping Ye Xuan's sweat with a handkerchief, was so startled that her hands shook.

Ye Xuan showed helplessness.

The two looked towards Chun Chan and Qiu Yue.

Before the two of them could say anything, Chun Chan eagerly handed the imperial edict to Shen Rong.

"Miss, miss, look, it's terrible!"

"The Emperor asked our uncle to be the teacher of the Emperor's grandchildren!!"

Shen Rong was slightly surprised.

She looked toward the edict.

really.

As the spring cicada said.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Ye Xuan to be the teacher of the emperor's grandchildren.

"Congratulations to my husband for being favored by the emperor."

Shen Rong was sincerely happy for Ye Xuan.

Chun Chan and Qiu Yue also congratulated each other and said: "Congratulations to my uncle."

Ye Xuan waved his hand.

"Just being a teacher to the emperor's grandsons, it's not considered important."

"Madam, what are you sewing?"

His eyes fell on the clothes in Shen Rong's hands. Shen Rong's cheeks were slightly red and hot. She was about to say something, but Chun Chan spoke first.

"Uncle, uncle, these are the clothes the lady specially made for you."

Shen Rong's cheeks became redder.

"I see."

"My lady is interested."

After saying a few words, Ye Xuan leaned into Shen Rong's ear and whispered.

"Then tonight, let me thank my wife for my husband."

Shen Rong's face turned red as if it was about to drip, her eyes widened slightly, she patted Ye Xuan's chest gently as if she was embarrassed, and said coquettishly: "It's clear as day, how can you be so immoral."

Chun Chan and Qiu Yue were eating candies at the side, with smiles on their faces, thinking:

The uncle and the young lady are really in love.
