The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 149 What the teacher said turned out to be true

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and remained silent for a long time.

Talking about this can already be said to be a dispute at the ideological level, or the positioning of the Ming Dynasty's national policy.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that some things could not be changed without his own regulations.

With such a 'rebellious' character of the great grandson, even if he sets some ancestral precepts, it doesn't make much sense.

Just by looking at Da Sun's eyes, you can tell that his personality is similar to his own, and he is extremely stubborn.

Even if I can oppose it now, when I ascend the throne in the future, how to change it or how to change it.

In fact, from a certain point of view, it is already a very miraculous thing for Zhu Yuanzhang to realize this.

Mainly for the eldest grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang has almost always communicated with an equal attitude from the very beginning of pampering.

It's hard for others to imagine a character like Zhu Yuanzhang's. Generally speaking, I feel guilty for my grandson, so I will give up in many places.

When encountering a problem that is opposed in one's own heart, first of all, instead of suppressing it with a violent attitude, for the sake of this rare parent-child relationship, you will think about it and convince your grandson with reason.

Depose a hundred schools of thought, and only respect Confucianism.

This is Zhu Yuanzhang's thought of governing the country. The Confucianism of the ruler and ministers is very beneficial to the ruler, and Taoism and Buddhism are incomparable.

"You don't have to beat around the bush, grandson, just tell us directly, in your heart, what you really think about the imperial examination."

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang chose to throw this question directly back to his grandson.

Since Dasun thinks that it is not enough to select a scholar based on stereotypes, he will come up with a better way.

Zhu Ying didn't hesitate when she heard the words, and directly said what was in her heart.

"Students study hard for ten years, but after gaining fame, these poems and songs do not allow them to learn how to govern the place quickly."

"So Sun'er believes that the imperial examination can be subdivided into six directions, just like six departments."

"The Four Books and Five Classics are also indispensable, and some of them can be selected as the key, and secondly, according to the different directions chosen by the candidates, they can be tested."

"For example, if you are going to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Four Books and Five Classics, the Law of the Great Ming Dynasty, and the Great Proclamation each take up three, and then the comprehensive evaluation will be made, and the best will be the top."

Of course, Zhu Ying would not choose to beat Confucianism to death first. After all, as far as the current Ming Dynasty is concerned, Confucianism's thought of governing the country is still very good as the mainstream.

Now there is no other thought that can replace Confucianism.

It's just that, like the universities of later generations, the originally unified national examination has been turned into a specialist.

As for the top talents, of course they can still be promoted upwards. There are not a few geniuses in the Daming Imperial Academy.

In this way, it is actually equivalent to expanding the content of the imperial examination. It is no longer the four books and five classics, but only as an auxiliary discipline in thought.

And students are free to choose the direction of study, so that after obtaining the honor, they can enter the corresponding major and get started quickly.

It will not happen that the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice have not even read the Law of the Ming Dynasty after entering the job, and they will make jokes when judging the case.

Of course, after so many circles, in fact, Zhu Ying's biggest core lies in the Ministry of Industry.

These channels are mainly created for the Ministry of Industry.

The scope of the Ministry of Industry is very broad, such as armament manufacturing, agricultural tools and so on.

Basically it's about the military industry, and agriculture itself.

But now the status of craftsmen is too low. Although they are scholars, farmers, businessmen, they are actually scholars, merchants, farmers and workers.

However, the Ministry of Industry is the key to productivity.

Such as the research of the material itself, the research of firearms and gunpowder, etc., these are the keys to productivity.

Improve the welfare of craftsmen, social status, and guide the emergence and production of the Ming industrial system, all of which depend on the Ministry of Industry.

Everything else can develop slowly.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes began to light up.

From being repelled at the beginning to being gradually convinced now, Zhu Yuanzhang can feel Dasun's unique thoughts and thoughts on governing the country.

From running the army to internal affairs, the current grandson gives Zhu Yuanzhang a feeling of almost omnipotence.

"The thing Dasun said is indeed good, but it can't be formulated immediately. We will hand over this matter to the Imperial Academy for handling."

"The books of the students need to be compiled first, and then the imperial examination can be carried out."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Dasun did not directly say that he wanted to abolish the Four Books and Five Classics, but chose to do it together, which is still advisable in Zhu Yuanzhang's view.

And from the memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang himself has long discovered that many ministers have serious lack of ability.

But this is a common phenomenon, and Zhu Yuanzhang can't help it.

The imperial examination system began in the Sui Dynasty and was perfected in the Tang Dynasty. It was the key to the king's selection of talents, and it can be regarded as a group of poor students.

"Since this matter was proposed by you, grandson, you will be in charge. We will approve a document at that time, and you will be responsible for the matter of the Imperial Academy first." Zhu Yuanzhang added.

"Grandson listens to grandpa's arrangement."

Zhu Ying's eyes lit up, and she said immediately.

In Zhu Ying's view, such things as compiling textbooks are very meaningful. In the process of compiling, he can add a lot of private goods.

These textbooks are extremely important, and will directly affect every scholar in the Ming Dynasty, including the development direction of the entire Ming Empire, which will change.

"We have to go back to the palace. What the grandson told us today, we have to go back and think about it carefully, so that the ministers can discuss it and come up with details."

Zhu Yuanzhang got up, and then told Zhu Ying: "I'll send someone to pick you up later, and go to the palace tonight to see your father."

Zhu Ying nodded slightly when she heard the words: "Okay."

Western Regions.

Zhu Ying didn't expect that she arranged for Zhang San to deliver the letter, but in the end, she also sent him a stubble.

In fact, after Zhu Ying knew her life experience, especially after she decided to plan for Da Ming, her main focus had already begun to revolve around Da Ming.

Daming is now the best time to reform, the old man is still around, no matter what kind of reform it is, as long as the old man supports it, no one in Daming can stop it.

Now is also the time when Da Ming's force value is at its peak.

In fact, a blue jade can't be said to affect the situation much. Even famous generals like Feng Sheng and Fu Youde, in Zhu Ying's opinion, it is of course better to exist, and it won't be too bad if they don't have it.

The most important thing is that the Sapphire case has caused too many middle-level officers to be implicated.

Just like a human arm, if the bones inside are gone, it will naturally not be tough. Even if the old man is determined to kill Lan Yu, Zhu Ying will not say that he attaches too much importance to it.

Whether Lan Yu can live, in Zhu Ying's opinion, can only be known after meeting. Although Lan Yu is his uncle, if Lan Yu opposes him due to some factors.

That can only be removed.

In fact, as far as the subordinates of the Western Regions are concerned, Zhu Ying can't directly reveal his identity now, which doesn't do him much good, but it is easy to breed hidden dangers.

The most important reason is that his men and horses are all outside Daming, not within Daming, and if he plans to plan other places in the future, it will also be a good secret.

Of course, he still passed on a cryptic message, the key to which was the seal on the blank document.

Qunying City, here is the city forged by Zhu Ying in the Western Regions.

Even a small country in the Western Regions has no problem,

With a population of [-] households, about [-] people, and more than [-] soldiers, mainly cavalry, there is no problem in self-defense in the Western Regions.

It is worth mentioning that if it weren't for the fact that Qunying City didn't establish a country, Zhu Ying would always go to the desert and operate forces on the grassland during this period.

Maybe the current Qunying City will be called Qunying.

You can also establish diplomatic relations with Daming, pay tribute, and even get the title of Daming.

Of course, although the current Qunying City does not have a title, it was also reported to submit to Daming here and is protected by Daming.

Strictly speaking, it still belongs to Daming.

In Qunying City.

"Li Xiucai, you have to look carefully. This is a document from the Daming Station." Liu Sheng said to a middle-aged and elderly man with graying hair and a thin figure.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiucai said with certainty: "Of course I know that this is a document from the Daming Station, and it also has the seal of the head of the Chariot and Horse Division of the Ministry of War."

After finishing speaking, he said with some doubts: "It stands to reason that although the post station is in charge of the Chariot and Horse Division of the Ministry of War, the stamp of the Chariot and Horse Division of the Ministry of War is generally not printed on the post station documents, and it is still a blank document."

"What does this mean?" Liu Sheng asked suspiciously, he was not very familiar with Daming's situation.

Li Xiucai was a well-known scholar, and the reason why he was exiled to the Western Regions was because he committed a lawsuit and finally ran away.

However, scholars these days are popular everywhere. After all, there are not many literate people in Ming Dynasty, and those in the Western Regions are even rarer.

Li Xiucai's status in Qunying City is still one of the best. He has been here for a few years, married a wife and had children here, and lived a prosperous life.

He organized the language in his mind, and he didn't bother to explain the details of the Daming Kongyin case to Liu Sheng, so he said directly:

"There are only two possible situations where I can get a blank document and have the seal certificate of my boss."

Liu Sheng asked; "Which two situations?"

"One is that these documents are all forged, but the master has established a relationship in the capital and can hide the truth, but I think the possibility of this is not high."

"After all, the capital is at the feet of the emperor, and even the slightest disturbance can't be concealed from the holy eye, let alone a post office secretary."

Li Xiucai analyzed and said.

"Then there is another situation?" Liu Sheng urged.

What he dislikes the most is Li Xiucai. Every time he speaks, he likes to tease people's appetites, hesitating, not at all cheerful.

But Li Xiucai has nothing to say about his knowledge, and he doesn't have much to do about it.

Liu Xiucai unhurriedly took a sip from the teacup on the table, moistened his throat, and then said:

"There is another situation, that is, the master is currently in the capital with all hands and feet, and even has contact with the Holy One. This sounds a bit unbelievable, but if you look at the content of the document, it is reasonable."

Liu Sheng looked slightly shocked, and asked in disbelief: "You mean, the master hooked up with Emperor Ming?"

"Go, go, can you talk? What is hooking up? If it wasn't for the Western Regions or the owner's territory, just the word hooking up would be enough to punish you."

Li Xiucai just scolded Liu Sheng, seeing Liu Sheng's embarrassing expression, then continued:
"Be careful what you say in the future. From my point of view, the Dong family must have been appreciated by His Majesty. In fact, it is reasonable to think about it. Such a character as the Dong family is almost a natural talent."

"With the eyes of the Holy One, we can naturally see the talent of the master. It is normal to reuse it directly. The document of the master also mentioned that we should prepare a large amount of high-yield crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes."

"If my guess is correct, it may be that the host specially dedicated it to the Holy One."

Hearing Li Xiucai's analysis, Liu Sheng frowned and said, "But what the Dong family decided earlier was to plan for Annan, how could it be possible to go to Daming's side all of a sudden?"

Li Xiucai heard the words, and said disdainfully: "How can Annan and other poor and remote places be compared with our Ming Dynasty, even a random county is not comparable to a small country such as Annan."

"Earlier, the owner was only a merchant. Now that he is reused by the Holy Master, there is no need to care about Annan any more."

"If you want to come to the host to offer potatoes, sweet potatoes and other high-yielding crops, and maybe get a title from the Holy Majesty, this is no more comfortable than managing a small country such as Annan."

Liu Sheng was convinced when he heard this.

Zhu Ying seldom explains his reasons for doing something to his subordinates, this is for the convenience of making his subordinates blindly convinced.

People like Liu Sheng grew up in the Western Regions since they were young. Li Xiucai, like Li Xiucai, is from the Ming Dynasty, but also from the frontier area of ​​the Ming Dynasty.

As for Annan, Liu Sheng didn't even know his name if it wasn't for the boss's words, and Li Xiucai only knew a concept from books.

At present, the self-confidence index of Ming people naturally has a sense of superiority compared with the surrounding small countries.

So Li Xiucai's disdain for Annan is also reasonable.

It was at this time that the middle-aged man who was with Liu Sheng earlier pushed the door open.

"Junior Brother, how is the interrogation at Zhang San's place?" Liu Sheng asked.

Jiang Yun, known as the younger brother, is Zhu Ying's second disciple.

In fact, Zhu Ying didn't have any sects, but hundreds of "disciples" all respected Zhu Ying as a teacher, and they ranked spontaneously according to their differences.

Jiang Yun frowned and said: "Zhang San is the teacher's confidant after all, the situation is unknown now, and it is impossible to use the punishment without authorization, but after asking, there is no big loophole."

"The only thing worth mentioning is that the teacher once asked him to secretly follow a court official, and then he was discovered by Jin Yiwei and arrested in Jin Yiwei's prison, but he was released the next day."

"If I'm not lying, I think the teacher already has a certain influence in the capital."

Hearing this, Liu Sheng and Li Xiucai looked at each other subconsciously.

From this point of view, Li Xiucai's analysis just now can almost completely correspond to it.

"From this point of view, the teacher is currently in the capital, and he should be in trouble. The younger brother will release Zhang San soon, and I will blame him." Liu Sheng said, thinking of Zhang San, said quickly.

Jiang Yun was a little speechless to senior brother Liu Sheng.

It was you who said there was a problem, and now you are the one who said it was wrong. It really is. It's hard for Zhang San.

But before Jiang Yun left, he said to senior brother Liu Sheng: "Since the matter is clear, then senior brother should quickly send the wooden box to the post station according to the teacher's instructions, and send it to the capital as soon as possible."

"If you want to come to the things in the wooden box, it will be of great use to the teacher."

Hearing this, Liu Sheng said strangely: "Why is the teacher so critical of the wooden box? The wooden box has nothing of value, it's just a piece of rag."

Speaking of this, Liu Sheng suddenly recalled in his mind, when the teacher left Qunying City, he gave the wooden box to him for safekeeping.

Because after a few years, Liu Sheng was too old, so he didn't remember it all at once.

Thinking about it now, my eyes widened.

The words that the teacher told me echoed in my ears again.

"Liu Sheng, you have to keep the things in this wooden box safe for me. This is the only thing related to my parents."

Zhu Ying publicized that she had connections in Daming, but as the teacher's chief disciple, Liu Sheng still knew some inside information.

And there are also rumors about the teacher's life experience.

Now let's talk about the broken cloth, the teacher's background, and the capital, when the three words are associated together.

An extremely shocking answer was ready to come out in Liu Sheng's mind.
