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

Chapter 91: When a country is strong, all nations will surrender! Zhu Yuanzhang wrote the ancestral precepts! Ye Xuan once again served as the examiner to set the questions!

"What you taught me today was really eye-opening for me."

“I didn’t expect to keep the people fed and clothed.”

"It's so difficult."

"At the same time, it also made me realize how heavy the burden is on the shoulders of an emperor."

“Know people well and make good use of them, and be willing to accept advice.

"A dear and virtuous minister, but a distant villain."

"Severely punish corrupt officials and ensure clean governance, and the court will be stable."

"Let the people have food and clothing."

"Putting people first."

"I will definitely keep these in mind."

Zhu Biao's face was solemn.

Donggong and Ohontang never talked about the imperial way, the kingly way, or the domineering way.

Ye Xuan's words today made his world seem to open a new door.

humane.

Put people first.

It turns out there is such a way to become an emperor.

He felt that he had learned a lot.

After Zhu Biao and Ye Xuan asked for advice, they returned to the palace and returned to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Although he is solely responsible for the affairs of foreign envoys.

But now Zhu Yuanzhang is still the emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang's insights and experience17 were far above him.

And we need to be cautious when dealing with foreign affairs.

Otherwise it will cause war between countries.

Therefore, it is necessary to inform Zhu Yuanzhang about the gifts returned to foreign countries and let Zhu Yuanzhang take care of them.

royal palace.

The golden glazed tiles gleam under the sunlight, the white jade stone steps are illuminated, and the whole palace is beautiful.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"XFT..."

Zhu Biao was wearing Jiuzhanggun uniform, with a belt around his waist and black leather boots.

Wherever you go.

The eunuchs and maids bowed their heads and bowed.

Zhu Biao went straight into the palace.

imperial study room

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on a chair processing the memorial, his brows furrowed.

His hair and beard were streaked with gray.

There are obvious wrinkles at the corners of the eyes and forehead.

"Father."

The voice came from the front.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up and saw the somewhat honest Zhu Biao walking in.

The solemn look on his face suddenly disappeared.

A smile emerges.

"It's Biao'er."

"How did you come?""

"I heard that you have been busy receiving foreign envoys recently. Why do you have time to come to my father today?"

"Father, I came to see you to tell you about the second gift in return.

"My son is good at making opinions and will reduce the gifts he gives to the tributary country."

Zhu Biao told Zhu Yuanzhang exactly what Ye Xuan said.

It is wrong to rely on the economy to support those tributary countries and let them recognize the Ming Dynasty's economic and political affairs.

Give Fanbang so many gifts.

The financial pressure of Ming Dynasty increased.

These foreign countries are just grassroots.

He took refuge in Ming Dynasty when it was strong.

Attack when Ming Dynasty is weak.

A weak country has no justice, and a weak country has no diplomacy.

The country becomes strong.

The country is rich and the army is strong.

That's the right way.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while and said:

"Ye Xuan makes sense."

“We, the Ming Dynasty, are a kingdom in heaven, so naturally we don’t need to use gifts to get foreign countries to recognize us.

As long as our Ming Dynasty is strong, those small foreign countries will naturally fear us and take the initiative to become vassals of our Ming Dynasty.

"This matter."

"It needs to be written into the ancestral precepts."

“We want our children and grandchildren to remember this.

"Only strength is strong."

"Only other countries will be in awe!"

"As for other frivolous things, they are all fictitious!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang said these words, history was quietly changing at this moment. The "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions" he left to future generations clearly recorded this passage:

All the barbarians in the country are like grass on the wall. If the country is strong, they will surrender. If the country is weak, they will attack.

Yes.

Future generations should remember that a weak country cannot have justice, and a weak country cannot have diplomacy.

Enriching the country and strengthening the army is the right way.

Zhu Biao also recognized Zhu Yuanzhang's words and felt that this matter must be written in the ancestral precepts so that future generations should remember it.

Today all nations come to court.

It is not maintained by gifts.

It was maintained by the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

"I didn't expect that this kid Ye Xuan is so good at handling relations between countries."

"This guy is really an all-rounder!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed in his heart Ye Xuan's intelligence.

Suddenly, he remembered something.

The smile appeared on his face and his mood became happy.

"Biao'er."

"Do you still remember the 'examination officer' system that Ye Xuan once talked about after the palace examination?"

Zhu Biao replied:

"Of course I remember."

"Mr. Ye's words will all be remembered in my heart."

"The 'officer examination' system that Mr. Ye mentioned at that time was to let those scholars who participated in the palace examination test for officials."

"However, Mr. Ye also said it."

"The 'office examination' system can be implemented to all people."

"You can select talented people from all the people."

"Father, why did you suddenly mention this matter?"

Doubt appeared on Zhu Biao's face.

"Hahaha..." Zhu Yuanzhang finally couldn't help laughing, picked up a memorial on the table and handed it to Zhu Biao, "Biao'er, take a look."

"The 'examination officer' has already announced the results."

"The imperial examination students of that year all did well."

"We are very satisfied."

"Ye Xuan's 'examination officer' system is really good."

Zhu Biao looked at the memorial and reported on the status of the "official examination" students. They all did well.

However, after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

Zhu Biao was speechless.

He couldn't help but think of the situation in the imperial examination.

Ye Xuan got three baskets of grain and asked the imperial examination students of that year to identify them.

Among them, corrupt officials were killed.

A mediocre official goes to jail.

This kills the chicken to scare the monkey.

I'm afraid it will be a shadow for the life of that imperial examination student.

They certainly don't dare to be corrupt.

Coupled with the "examination officer" system, if you don't do it well, you will lose your head.

After the imperial examination students of that class became officials.

How dare you not work hard to be an official and do things for the people?

Zhu Biao felt that the imperial examination students of that year who worked so hard must have been intimidated by Ye Xuan.

He couldn't help but feel that the imperial examination students of that year were a bit pitiful.

I cried tears of sympathy in my heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang 637 was still saying happily:

"In the 'official examination', a large number of students who ranked low in the examination did better after becoming officials."

"They are willing to do practical things for the people."

"Officials govern the Qingming Festival."

"We are so happy!"

As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, his voice changed.

"Biao'er."

"What do you think of promoting the 'examination officer' system on a small scale?"

"Our current officials in the Ming Dynasty are really not enough."

"Promoting the 'examination officer' system on a small scale can recruit talented people to the Ming Dynasty."

"This will provide a continuous supply of officers."

Zhu Biao:………………

The young official of the Ming Dynasty was beheaded by your father.

Zhu Biao was a bit slanderous.

"If those Jinshi can be good officials, then other students may also be good officials."

"Biao'er, what do you think?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao in front of him.

Zhu Biao asked subconsciously:

"Father, how should we promote the examination system?"

This question directly confused Zhu Yuanzhang.

yes.

How to promote the probation system.

The figure of Ye Xuan appeared in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, and he clapped his hands and said:

"The trouble should end it."

"The probation system was proposed by Ye Xuan.

"Then let him do the selection."

"Besides, Ye Xuan also has experience as an examiner."

"Let him continue to be an examiner and continue to select officials for our Ming Dynasty!"
