I repeatedly offered poisonous tactics, but Lao Zhu quickly advised me to calm down!

On the main street of Yingtian City, several princes were watching the flowers and were not in a hurry to go back.

"Second and fourth, what do you mean by what Mr. just said? If this isn’t Enko’s golden age, what is?"

Looking at the smiling students everywhere on both sides of the road, Zhu Biao frowned, very puzzled.

"Brother, I don’t understand either."

Zhu Xiang shook his head, with some confusion in his eyes.

Then, he pointed to the government office in the distance.

"There are only a few dozen people in Yingtian Mansion Office, and most of the people here are old people, and many of them are even old people from the previous dynasty."

"This imperial examination is to find people who can replace them."

"The reference number is tens of thousands. No matter how strict the job selection process is, there should be thousands of people, right?"

"With such a large number of literati entering the officialdom, how can it not be regarded as a prosperous period?"

Listening to the words of the second child, Zhu Biao's eyes became more confused.

Yes, everyone can see that the scale of official recruitment in this scientific examination is unprecedented.

For this reason, both the eastern Zhejiang faction represented by Liu Bowen and the Huaixi faction represented by Li Shanchang He tried his best to get the position of examiner, and his brain was almost spinning.

How come it is not necessarily the case with Mr.?

What is the reason that makes Mr. so confident?

Zhu Biao felt that he must have overlooked something!

"Big brother and second brother, do you think there is a possibility that your husband’s standards for judging prosperity are different from ours?"

"We think that a prosperous age is when the number of people who become officials is large, but sir, do you think a prosperous age is when people who become officials are capable?"

"What I mean is that you may think that the students who participated in the imperial examination this time are not good enough. Although the quantity is large, the quality is not good."

Zhu Di gave his own analysis.

This made other princes stunned.

The quality of students is not good?

How is it possible!

Zhu Biao shook his head repeatedly and denied it directly.

"Impossible. Since the introduction of Enke in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which of the world's elites has not wanted to prove themselves through scientific examinations?"

"How many people were referring to it at that time? hundreds of"

"A large number of capable ministers and generals can emerge from just a few hundred people's reference. How come in the Ming Dynasty, they are all crooked? So this is absolutely impossible!"

He said categorically.

If it was like what the fourth child said, then it would be impossible for them to see a scholar like Li Wenda in the inn today.

Zhu Biao thought quietly for a while before speaking again.

"Although Lao Si’s analysis is absolutely impossible, you did give me an idea."

"There is no doubt that these students who came to Yingtianfu for reference could not be any worse."

"The only thing that may cause problems is that we choose the Jinshi step"

"Although these tens of thousands of students have passed the provincial examination, there are still gaps among them"

"If the smartest and most capable people are not selected and only mediocre people are selected, then it will naturally not be called a prosperous era, right?"

Zhu Biao's eyes flashed. From this perspective, it was indeed not a prosperous age.

And in this moment, he had already seen several possibilities from this perspective. What he said was just one of them. The last A kind of gentleness.

Hearing this, a trace of horror flashed in Zhu Ping's eyes.

The genius was not chosen, but the mediocre was chosen?

"Isn't this……"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Biao reached out to stop him.

"Don't rush to conclusions"

"The examiner this time is Liu Sanwu, who is highly respected and knowledgeable."

"More importantly, he is the Prime Minister of the Imperial College and there is no reason for him to do this."

"Sir may see more and further than us."

After saying that, Zhu Biao turned his head and looked at the inn in the distance. His heart sank, and he had some bad premonitions.

Sir, he asked us to wait for three days. After three days, it will be time to release the results.

Guochao Kaienke If something goes wrong here, how big of a sensation will it be?

Then...how many people will die?

……

At Xi'an Gate, Zhu Yuanzhang took Mao Xiang out of the palace again.

Government affairs were busy today. He had been approving memorials in the palace for a long time, and he had long been impatient and wanted to go out for a walk.

Since that day when he went to look for Chen Mu and saw the scene outside the palace, he felt more and more boring inside the palace, and it seemed that he would feel more comfortable only if he went out for a walk.

As before, this time he was still wearing casual clothes, without any air of an emperor, he looked like a rich man.

Even this time, Lao Zhu didn't even ride a horse. He walked out of the palace gate. The shouts of the people and the discussions of the students were echoing in his ears. He didn't need to rely on others to relay them. He could clearly feel the emotions in everyone's words..

The conversation between two students caught his attention

"Brother Wu, how did you do in this exam?"

"I am somewhat certain that the test questions are all within the Four Books and Five Classics. It is not difficult to understand the meaning."

"Then Brother Wu will definitely be in high school this time, and it will be difficult for me, little brother! But I am confident that I will pass the exam next time!"

"Dear brother, you don’t have to be so humble, but I have an experience to share with you."

"oh? What! Brother Wu, please tell me!"

"The emperor's intention to open Enke this time is actually very obvious. Several classic questions are all examining our views on the system, teaching and local governance."

"What is this indicating? Brother Wu, please tell me quickly. I’m really confused!"

"This shows that the emperor needs talents. As long as a good brother has a pure mind and solid knowledge, it is basically impossible to be deposed."

"Wouldn't that……"

"So I also congratulate my dear brother in advance, this time he will definitely be in high school!"

"Hahaha! Drink, drink! Drink!"

"In such a prosperous time, it is appropriate to drink! Dear brother, we will not return until we are drunk today!"

The two men were dressed simply, and they looked like students from poor families. They also had some of the perseverance unique to northern scholars.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded. It seemed that his decision was correct.

With this Enke prosperity, It will definitely stabilize people's hearts!

There are more possibilities for the Ming Dynasty to be passed down for hundreds of generations!

……

In the Imperial College, all the examiners gathered in a room. There were soldiers patrolling and guarding outside the door. No one was allowed to approach.

Liu Sanwu and Bai Xintao are also here, sitting opposite each other.

"Mr. Liu, how is things going on there?"

Bai Xintao was reviewing the files and asked in a low voice.

"everything is normal."

Liu Sanwu looked indifferent and replied coldly.

Hearing this, Bai Xintao paused, and a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.

Chen Mu, Chen Mu, you are just a doctor from the Imperial College and you still want to threaten your status?

Now you have been dismissed and expelled. After leaving the academy, I want to see how you gain a foothold in Yingtian Mansion!

But this is not enough. Before Lan Shangqing comes back, I must drive you out of Yingtian Mansion completely so that you will never be able to stand up again!

……

Daming Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Zhu Yuanzhang took off his regular clothes under the service of the eunuchs and was washing his hands and face.

There was a smile on his face, and he nodded while washing his hands, as if he was recalling what he had seen outside.

The chamberlain Xiao Huangmen was a little surprised. He had not seen the emperor so happy for a long time.

"People are in high spirits when happy events happen. Your Majesty, you must have seen something interesting when you leave the palace this time."

He said with a smile, and as he spoke, he did not forget to bow and hand the handkerchief to Lao Zhu to wipe his hands.

Lao Zhu took it smoothly, wiped it, and handed it back to him.

"It’s a good thing, and it’s a huge good thing!"

"This time, Enke will be launched, and tens of thousands of candidates will take part in the examination!"

"They are all the future of our Ming Dynasty."

Lao Zhu put on his dragon robe again and sat on the chair. He was grinning so much that he almost reached his ears. After going out for a walk, he really saw what"the common people are the cornerstone of the country.".

And every time he went out, he found that he could find more truth in Dr. Chen Mu's words.

With such a wise minister, how difficult is it for him to become a wise founding emperor?

Thinking of this, the corners of Lao Zhu's eyes twitched slightly. After a moment, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

Such a great man was actually forcibly kicked out of the Imperial Academy by Xu Da and the others!

Liu Sanwu, a pedantic old man, even agreed!

This matter is a thorn in Lao Zhu's heart.

Almost, almost he lost a wise minister!

Seeing the sudden change in the emperor's face, Xiao Huangmen quickly brought up what happened just now

"Your Majesty, Yingtian City must be very lively today, right? Students will definitely celebrate when they finish their exams."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and the gloom in his eyes temporarily dissipated.

"Yes, it’s really lively"

"Students from the north and the south have finished their exams and are celebrating now"

"However, there is also a gap between students from the north and the south. Candidates from the south are more bohemian, while candidates from the north are mostly calmer. I don’t know how much each will occupy in the final list."

When Xiao Huangmen saw Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, he knew that he could answer the question, so he quickly flattered him.

"No matter how much the North and South occupy on the list, the Emperor has captured all the talents in the world! Congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have made a good start for our Ming Dynasty!"

Xiao Huangmen saluted respectfully, and Lao Zhu burst out laughing.

"Slippery, you are the only one who can talk"

"But this time you are indeed right. With this prosperous era of Enke, our Ming Dynasty will definitely have long-term peace and stability!"

Everyone likes to hear flattery, and Lao Zhu is no exception.

However, he will not be bewitched by flattery. What he values ​​​​is the impact behind the matter.

As soon as the Enke era began, talents all over the world were wondering why they were in high school, and who would still Thinking of rebellion?

As long as no one rebels and there is no chaos in his own backyard, then he can wholeheartedly attack the Yuan thief in the north.

While he is sick, it will kill him, and after the Yuan thief is eliminated, what else do he have to worry about?

This is him His conspiracy!

He wants all the intellectuals in the world to work for Lao Zhu’s family all their lives!

And the Zhu family only needs to grasp the way to rise.

Thinking of this, a trace of expectation flashed in Lao Zhu’s eyes

"This time Enke is already in his prime. The next step is to see who will be named on the gold list in three days."

"As long as you follow my instructions, my Ming Dynasty will be unshakable forever!"

……

Inside the inn.

At the moment, the boss is busy greeting guests.

During this time, many students have been coming here to stay.

As a result, his business here is very booming.

And just then!

Located in a private room of the inn.

Chen Mu is sitting here, his eyes narrowed.

In front of him is a pot of tea.

The aroma of tea lingers and steam rises.

Regarding the comments from outside students.

Chen Mu naturally heard about it.

All this is developing according to his expectations.

I'm afraid it won't take long.

These students will burst out with overwhelming anger.

All time!

Zhu Yuanzhang will be extremely angry.

A major case occurred.

Chen Mu wants to see if the fire he has lit with his own hands can cause the Imperial College to be reshuffled from top to bottom!
