Ming Dynasty: 100-year-old Heavenly Master, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father

Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Beijing.

But Mao Xiang, the commander of Jinyiwei, did not follow him back to Beijing.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered him to go to Longhu Mountain to secretly investigate everything about Lao Tianshi, and to find out everything about Lao Tianshi.

After he returned to the palace, he hurried to Kunning Palace.

Empress Ma was meditating when Zhu Yuanzhang burst into the room and shouted:”Sister…sister”……”

“What’s the fuss about?”

Empress Ma opened her eyes and suddenly became irritable. She picked up the feather duster and hit Zhu Yuanzhang,”I was practicing. I had just been practicing for a week. If you interrupt me, I almost went crazy. Do you understand?”

Bah bang bang!

Feather dusters fell on Zhu Yuanzhang like rain.

“Hey, you bitch, you hit the emperor again.”

Zhu Yuanzhang snatched the feather duster from Queen Ma’s hand, raised his hand and threw it away,”Today we, Zhu Chongba, must teach you a lesson. Empress Ma was not afraid at all. She braced her waist and stared:”You try?” Zhu

Yuanzhang took out a letter from his pocket, handed it to Queen Ma, and hummed:”Look, I won’t scare you to death.””

Empress Ma took it over and opened it:

Zhu Chongba! You unfilial son!

You buried me even though I’m not dead?

You unfilial son, when I find you, I will beat your ass into eight pieces. No.

If you, unfilial son, come to move the grave and find that I am not dead, remember to come to me.

I will feed you a lot of shit and you will never have a good day.

Remember, come to me!

“This… what is this? Queen Ma was confused,”Who is so loud?” Who did you bury again?”

“I found this from my father’s tomb. Zhu Yuanzhang spread his hands and said,”Didn’t you ask us to open the tomb and take a look?””

“ah? Queen Ma was shocked,”This…this means that my father-in-law is really not dead?” Then he is the Heavenly Master”

“uncertain!”Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and said,”Two forty.”

He told Empress Ma about his doubts.

After hearing this, Empress Ma also nodded:”It is correct to find out, although my intuition is that the Heavenly Master”

“We also hope that our father is still alive. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said,”That’s great. We can be filial to him.””

“See if you can’t be nice to Heavenly Master.”Queen Ma glared

……

In front of the Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhu Di was sitting on the carriage. He was here to wait for Zhu Xiongying.

Zhu Xiongying took part in the audition under the name Zhu Feilong. Today was the third and final exam.

When the exam room bell rang, candidates came out one after another.

A young man got on Zhu Di’s carriage and called out:”Fourth Uncle.”

As he said this, he pulled off a mask from his face. Under the mask was Zhu Xiongying’s face.

“Not to mention, you are so tall, you are really unrecognizable with the mask on. Zhu Di raised his eyes and asked,”How did you do in the exam?””

“It must be a good idea.”Zhu Xiongying spread his hands

“Just blow it. Zhu Di held his forehead and said,”If you really become a member, I will go to the palace to take the exam. I will scare your grandpa.””

“Hahaha, yes, the Imperial Grandpa personally presided over the examination, and I pulled down my mask on the spot.”Zhu Xiongying raised his eyebrows

“Just do it.”Zhu Di clapped his hands.

The two of them sat in a carriage and returned to the Qintian Prison.

It will take about a month to release the results after the joint examination, and another month later, it will be the palace examination.

After the palace examination, the emperor will appoint the number one, second and third overall winner in the royal batch. Those in the first and third grades are called”jinshi” and can be conferred immediately. They usually enter the Hanlin Academy.

Those in the second grade are called”jinshi origin” and account for one-third of the admissions. two thirds of

“Xiongying, you should study hard and get the top prize in the exam. Zhu Di laughed,”Then your grandpa must be very happy.””

“That’s not easy to catch.”Zhu Xiongying waved his fist

“Hey, your bragging skills are as good as those of Heavenly Master. Zhu Di covered his face and said,”By the way, how long has it been since you returned to the East Palace?” Your father asked you to take Yunxi back to stay for a few days.”

“If he wants to see us, why don’t he come to Qintian Prison?”Zhu Xiongying shook his head,”I can’t get used to living in the East Palace anyway.”

“Even if you don’t want to see Mrs. Lu, you still have to go back and see your father, right?” Zhu Di said

“Okay, I will take my brother back tomorrow and come back after taking a look at him.”Zhu Xiongying spread his hands.

Zhu Di sighed. He had no choice but to do his best.

……

After the examination, Lu Ben, as the examiner, assigned the task of marking the papers.

He also read some of the papers himself.

All the candidates’ information on the paper is sealed and cannot be seen.

However, he still recognized Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, and Lian Zining’s papers at a glance because their handwriting was already very familiar to him.

Of course, these three people must have been admitted.

The results will be released at the end of the grading process for the general examination. There will be a month, and he only needs to supervise him at ordinary times.

After coming out of the Ministry of Rites, he came to the East Palace.

As Zhu Yunwen’s teacher, he can come and go freely in the East Palace.

In the courtyard of the East Palace, only the Crown Princess Lu and Zhu Yunwen were present, and the Crown Prince Zhu Biao was criticizing the poems in the Wenhua Hall.

“Yunwen, the time has come. Lu Bendao said,”While students from all over the country are in the capital, waiting for the results to be released, you can propose the revised”Da Ming Code” to the emperor at this time. After it is spread, it will definitely gain the support of the students.”

“Grandpa, I still have some words that I haven’t memorized by heart.”Zhu Yunwen said

“Once you know it by heart, you won’t be in a hurry for a few days. Lu Ben smiled and said,”Just go before the results are released.””

“Yes, grandpa.”Zhu Yun nodded.

Crown Princess Lu had a satisfied smile on her face.

She was looking forward to her son’s reputation being better than that of Zhu Xiongying.

“I have found a few good talents this time and have accepted them as disciples. They will definitely be able to assist the prince and Yun Wen in the future.”Lu Benchao Lu said

“What my father chose must be suitable.” Lu said

“When the time comes, I will take Yunwen to see them. Lu Bendao,”That is a hope for them.””

“Listen to your father’s arrangements.” Mr. Lu agreed.

Lu Ben explained again before leaving the East Palace.

……

This is the Wenhua Palace.

It was already dark outside, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao and his son were still criticizing their son.

Zhu Yuanzhang’s habit is to finish everything today.

The emperor’s grandson Zhu Yunwen came in with a food box and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang:”The grandson is paying homage to the emperor’s grandfather. The mother-in-law asked the grandson to bring chicken soup for the emperor’s grandfather and his father to drink.”

“Yunwen, you child, your mother and concubine asked you to bring it to your father. Zhu

Yuanzhang smiled, put down the zhezi in his hand, smashed it in his mouth, and said,”Just in time, we are also hungry, let’s have some soup.””

“The mother-in-law said that the emperor’s grandfather must be working hard and should pay attention to his health.

Zhu Yunwen looked respectful and sincere,”Grandpa Huang, the dragon body is important. If you fall ill, there will be more delays.””

“Yunwen, you are right. Zhu Yuanzhang stretched and called Zhu Biao over,”Come on, finish the soup and continue. There won’t be much left.””

Zhu Biao came over, and the father and son sat down.

Zhu Yunwen took out the bowls and chopsticks from the food box and served them soup.

“The taste is sweet, fresh and fragrant. Your mother and concubine are playing tricks on you.”Zhu Yuanzhang praised

“The mother-in-law said that boiling soup is the test of heat, and she kept watching. Zhu Yunwen smiled and said

“Yun Wen, don’t let your mother and concubine get tired in the future. It’s better to leave these matters to the maids.”Zhu Biao ordered

“Hey, I know I love my wife.”Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

Zhu Yunwen watched them drink, then took out a notebook and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang and said:”Grandpa Huang, these are some modifications to the Ming Dynasty Code after my grandson and his grandfather read the”Book of Rites” and the criminal laws of the past dynasties. , it has been sixteen years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. With the advancement of the times, some places may need repairs. My grandson dares to ask Grandpa Huang to take a look.”

“oh?”Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised, so he took it over and opened it to read.

After seeing it, he stopped drinking the soup. At first he scanned it hurriedly, and then he read it carefully one by one. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

After a long time, he closed the book and praised:”Yunwen, yes, there are indeed areas that need to be revised in the”Da Ming Code”. The seventy-three articles you revised are very good, which also shows that you have a good understanding of the laws of the past. Very familiar and well-founded”

“The importance of legislation will make good people be encouraged to be virtuous and happy with their policies, while evil people will be saddened by the disasters and regret their actions. Zhu Yunwen was calm and calm, neither arrogant nor impetuous.”

If you establish good laws in the world, the world will be governed. If you establish good laws in a country, then a country will be governed.””

“well said!”Zhu Yuanzhang praised greatly.

Zhu Biao on the side was also very satisfied.[]

Zhu Yuanzhang even forgot to drink soup, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang:”Tomorrow morning, we will discuss these seventy-three articles.”

“Obey the decree.”Zhu Biao nodded.

Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed.

……

Morning next day.

Zhu Yuanzhang distributed the seventy-three”Laws of the Ming Dynasty” revised by Zhu Yunwen to the officials.

“This was modified by Sun Yunwen, please take a look.”Zhu Yuanzhang looked proud.

After seeing it, the officials exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Sanwu praised:”Your Majesty Sun Yunwen, although he is young, his knowledge is as deep as the sea and his kindness is as deep as the mountain. Modifying the”Da Ming Code” to reduce harshness and increase tolerance so that all people can enjoy peace is a benevolent government.”

Then, many ministers agreed

“The grandson of Emperor Yunwen was a man of outstanding talent and knowledge, with a world-wide mind. Taking the”Book of Rites” as the guideline, taking the criminal laws of previous dynasties as a guide, and revising the laws to comply with the people’s wishes, this is also the blessing of the Ming Dynasty.”

“Emperor Yunwen’s grandson was kind and intelligent, and his revision of the”Da Ming Law” was actually an act of stabilizing the country. This move by the emperor and his grandson won the hearts of the people and will surely make the country prosperous and the people healthy.”

“The grandson of Emperor Yunzhen is kind-hearted and people-oriented. Modifying the laws and combining leniency with violence so that the people can enjoy peace is a benevolent government. The emperor’s grandson Shengming is actually a blessing to the country and a blessing to the people.”

Everyone burst into praise.

Many of them are Lu Ben’s disciples.

Of course, there are also some who sincerely approve, because the previous”Da Ming Law” was too strict in the area.

Lu Ben was secretly proud.

His purpose was not only to let people When Zhu Yunwen became famous, he also wanted to leave a benevolent image to the officials and even the people of the world, because he knew that the future king of the Ming Dynasty needed a benevolent king who could defend the city….

Throughout the dynasties, the founding emperors were the masters of great talents and great strategies.���To expand the soil, the successor king needs benevolence and needs to rest and recuperate.

“Very good. After discussion by the Rites Department, here’s a break.”Zhu Yuanzhang smiled with satisfaction,”Then, implement it.”

“Obey the decree.”The ministers paid their respects.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced over and landed on Lu Ben:”Lu Aiqing, you taught me well.

Lu Ben, who had been silent until now, stood up and bowed:”Your Majesty, it is the emperor and grandson who are smart, I am just guiding.”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slowly and continued to ask:”This year’s general examination, the results should be released tomorrow, right?””

“Yes, Your Majesty.

Lu Ben didn’t look proud, his face was as dark as water,”The results will be released tomorrow, and the imperial examination will be held on the fifteenth day of next month.””

“good! Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly and said,”We, the cowherd boy, want to nominate the number one scholar again.””

All the ministers also laughed in agreement. It is rare to see the emperor happy.

……

The next day.

The front of the Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites was crowded with people because the results were released today.

Under the early sun, the gate of Gongyuan slowly opened, and the list of names hung high above the door. In an instant, the crowd was buzzing, and the students rushed forward and gathered around the list.

The sun shines down on the golden list, and every name shines brightly. Some cheered and some burst into tears. Those students who were ranked at the top were excited beyond words, while those students who were ranked behind were dejected. They either bowed their heads in silence or shed tears silently. The loss and helplessness in their hearts were indescribable.

“First place in the general examination, Yingtianfu, Qide”

“Second place in the joint examination, Linjiang Mansion, Lian Zining”

“Third place in the joint examination, Fenyi County, Huang Zicheng”

“The fourth place in the joint examination was Ying Tianfu and Zhu Feilong.”

Outside the Gongyuan, in the streets and alleys, there were noisy carriages and horses, and crowds of people. Relatives and friends came to congratulate or comfort one after another. For a time, there were many happy people inside and outside the capital, and there were also many frustrated and lonely people.

Zhu Di’s carriage stopped among the crowd. Outside.

After his subordinates went to inquire about the ranking, the carriage left and drove to Tianji Tower.

When he arrived at Tianji Tower, he went straight to the seventh floor, opened the door, and saw the old Tianshi, Zhu Bai, Zhu Quan, Zhu Xiongying, and Zhu Gaochi. , Zhu Yunxi is all here

“Xiongying, do you know where you got in the exam?”Zhu Di asked

“That must be number one.”Zhu Xiongying spread his hands

“Well, your confidence is too much. Zhu Di said excitedly,”It’s fourth. That’s great. Fourth.””

“Only fourth? Zhu Xiongying curled his lips,”Damn, there’s a shady story.””

“Xiongying, the fourth is already very strong. If your father and your grandpa knew, they would be extremely happy.” Zhu Bai said

“Don’t say it yet! Zhu Xiongying was very calm,”When it comes to the palace examination, wait until I get the top prize.””

“Hey, if you’re still so confident, that’s up to you. Zhu Di laughed and said,”I will scare your grandpa Huang when the time comes.””

Zhu Shizhen drank tea and looked at them with a smile.

“Who are the top three in the test?”he asks

“It’s Qi De, Lian Zining, Huang Zicheng. Zhu Di replied,”These three are all local Jieyuan.””

Zhu Shizhen was stunned.

It turned out to be them, Qi De, who was later named Tai by Zhu Yuanzhang, called Qi Tai.

2.1 Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, and Fang Xiaoru who didn’t know where he was, they were the three fools of the Jianwen Dynasty.

It was under their leadership that Jianwen started to cut down the feudal lords one by one.

“Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others were rash and ill-advised, while Fang Xiaoru was far-sighted and far-sighted.”

“Qi, Huang, Fang, and Lian were all loyal to the country but lacked strategies to win. However, his loyalty and anger aroused him, and he looked at the sword, saw, cauldron, and wok with joy and joy for a hundred generations, and he was still awe-inspiring and alive.”

This is the evaluation of them by later generations.

Zhu Shizhen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, which is a bit interesting. Various characters began to appear on the stage.

……

Wenhua Hall.

After Zhu Yuanzhang held a small court meeting, Wu Chen, a bachelor of Dongge University, handed over a note

“Your Majesty, this is an excerpt from Fang Xiaoru, a student of the Imperial College.”He bowed

“Is he Fang Keqin’s son? Zhu Yuanzhang took it and said,”You and Jieshu, two great bachelors, recommended him. It seems that this man is really talented.””

Since he abolished the prime minister, Zhu Yuanzhang has used bachelors to help him manage politics.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened the book and hurriedly scanned it, his expression changed drastically:”Shen Lao Tianshi? What secret tower is higher than the palace? Does he need to say this?”

He was furious, with fire spitting out of his eyes.

Wu Chen was so frightened that he knelt down quickly. He didn’t expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would be so angry.

“If it weren’t for the sake of his father Fang Keqin, we would have killed him with a stick. Zhu Yuanzhang threw the folder on the ground and said,”Study well and don’t follow the trick of fishing for fame and reputation. Expell him from the Imperial College and let him go back.””

“His Majesty……”Wu Chen still wants to plead for mercy

“Didn’t you hear what we said?”Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly

“Obey the decree.”Wu Chen could only nod.

A cold flash flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes.

Heavenly Master, that could be our father. Why are you so interested in my father? Our father lives in a place higher than our palace. What’s going on?”
