My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 107 Congratulations for the Emperor's Grandson
Zhu Di's self-confidence is not unreasonable. With Beiping alone, it is difficult for Jing to succeed and win the world. Throughout the ages, there is only such a person.

His will, prestige, and means can all be guaranteed. As long as it is something he wants to push, it will definitely be done... It's just that the government is a complicated game of chess. If you are reckless in one direction, it will inevitably affect other aspects.

If because of the forced reform of the imperial examination and employment, it will cause turmoil among the officials, chaos in the government, and separation of people's hearts... This is also something Zhu Di can't bear.

So how to end this matter requires a proper opportunity.

Coincidentally, it happened to be the fifteenth day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Zhu Di issued an order to invite several important officials to the palace to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

Yao Guangxiao, Duke of Rong, Zhu Neng, Duke of Cheng, Qiu Fu, Duke of Qi, Li Jinglong, Duke of Cao, and Xu Jingchang, Duke of Ding, the five major princes gathered together.

On the other side, there are six ministries and nine ministers, including the envoy Xie Jin, all of whom have arrived.

Zhu Di also called his three sons, as well as the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji.

Nobility, civil servants, and clan, these are the three pillars for Zhu Di to rule the world.

"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, the year has passed, and the weather has turned cooler. Although Jiangnan is different from Saibei, it is cold and damp, which hurts the body even more. I have prepared a collar of fox fur for your family. It is my gift."

While speaking, Hou Xian led a group of eunuchs, holding trays, to the courtiers one by one, offering fox fur.

Needless to say, Xu Jingchang also has one.

The fur is soft and warm to the touch, as smooth as satin, and the inner lining is made of the best fabric, which is very luxurious, showing court skills and spared no expense.

Yao Guangxiao is old, holding it in his hand, he feels the deepest, so he took the lead to kowtow to God.

Zhu Di laughed and said, "It's just a piece of clothing, there's no need to do this. Let's sit down and continue to drink and watch the moon."

Zhu Di gave moon cakes and fine wine to everyone, and each of them also served grapes, citrus...the same things, and placed them in front of the courtiers.

The big guy felt the emperor's deep concern, but he also smelled something unusual.

The so-called courteous to others, there must be something to ask for.

What's more, this is still a bright future, and I don't know what will happen in the future.

Everyone was worried, the wine from the first year of Hongwu could not be tasted, and the exquisite moon cakes could not be tasted... Xu Jingchang was very happy when he saw the officials fidgeting and worried.

Holding the Jin Yiwei in his hand, he naturally knew that Jian Yi was looking for Yao Guangxiao.I have to say that they are very smart, although the old monk used to play chess with Xu Jingchang every day, but he is definitely not Xu Jingchang's gang.

The old monk has his own opinions and ideas.

If it is true, the reform of the imperial examinations will involve too much, and it will even shake the foundation of the country.

But Xu Jingchang always firmly believed that Zhu Di was not an ordinary emperor, he had a strong will to do things, if he was just ruthless and let this group of people fool him, where would the prosperity of Yongle start?
Therefore, this game, I will undoubtedly win!
The moon rises at the beginning of the month and climbs to the tip of the willow.

The wine was almost drunk, Zhu Di finally smiled, and stretched out his hand to pull Zhu Zhanji over.

"This is my grandson. When he was born, I dreamed that Huang Kao gave me a jade jade. When I woke up, I got this grandson. This was given to me by Huang Kao, and it was also a gift from heaven. For Daming."

As Zhu Di spoke excitedly, everyone present also listened and nodded frequently.

But everyone in my heart knows what's going on, this kind of joke, on the street, you can listen to seven paragraphs for a penny.Next, will there be a red light in the sky at birth, fragrance overflowing, and clouds of celebration, which will last for three days!

We hear this kind of thing a lot, but no one will poke it.

Sure enough, Zhu Di didn't waste too much saliva, so he said with a smile: "This kid is also striving. He went to school when he was only four years old, and he was enlightened with people in his teens and twenties. He can read and write, and his test scores are better than those People are even better, after one year, I have learned thousands of characters, counted and memorized, and are proficient in everything. What's more amazing is that if you follow me to ride horses and shoot arrows, you will definitely be an all-rounder in civil and military affairs in the future. I am very relieved!"

Zhu Di kept praising Zhu Zhanji, Hei boy's face turned red, grandpa, why didn't you discover so many advantages of your grandson before?

After listening to Jian Yi, he could only say: "I congratulate Your Majesty, the emperor's grandson is smart, and the Ming Dynasty will last forever. It is really gratifying to congratulate."

Zhu Di nodded, "That's true, Jian Tianguan, I intend to promote the school where the emperor's grandson studies to an official school, what do you think?"

Death is coming!
Jian Yi also made preparations, so he said: "Returning to Your Majesty, the official school is very unusual. If it is established as an official school, do you come from it? You are the emperor's disciple? Since you are the emperor's student, can you participate in the imperial examination? Participated in the imperial examination , will you be able to enter the court as an official? I think these things are too involved, and we must be cautious."

Zhu Di laughed and said, "Jian Tianguan is indeed a seasoned seeker of the country, but since it is the place where my grandson studied, there is nothing wrong with giving an official a name. As for other things, that school talks about If you ask them to take the imperial examination for some simple things, I’m afraid they won’t pass the exam. Why should you care so much?”

"Qi Zuo His Majesty, ministers to assist His Majesty, dare not have the slightest omission, the name of official school is true and cannot be easily awarded."

Zhu Di raised his head and looked at the others.

Xia Yuanji, Song Li and others agreed one after another.

"Jian Shangshu's words are justified."

Seeing that everyone objected, Zhu Di didn't continue to say anything, nor did he drag Xu Jingchang out to make trouble, but said with a smile: "Since you all disagree, I won't say anything. The imperial court doesn't give names to officials, and I give them to you." What do you think of the name of a royal private school? Give it to Zongzheng Temple, and in the future, the princes and grandchildren will all go to the school for enlightenment, so this is the head office, right?"

Royal Academy?

This is even worse!

Song Li hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the imperial officials are responsible for the enlightenment of the princes and grandchildren. They are excellent in knowledge and character. It is the most appropriate for the prince to establish character, build moral character, and teach knowledge. I think it should It is safe to form customization."

At this time, what Song Li regretted the most was that he agreed to Zhu Zhanji to go to that bullshit school.

The big guy really didn't take it seriously, thinking it was a place for four or five-year-old children to play around before going to school, but who knew that a moment of negligence would cause endless troubles.

Therefore, we must learn a lesson and treat the princes and grandchildren with strict supervision, and there must be no negligence, otherwise there will be endless disasters.

Zhu Di groaned again and again, "Song Shangshu, I ask you, what is going to be done with this school? There are so many students in it, can't they not even have a title? Could it be that my grandson has been messing around for a year? "

Zhu Di's tone was full of anger. To be honest, it was a miracle that Zhu Di could suppress it until now.

What should I do?
Song Li was also flustered for a while, so he could only compromise and said: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, minister, I think it can be regarded as a private school."

"Private school? Is it a folk school?"

"En!" Song Li's temples were soaked in cold sweat, and his voice trembled.

"Is it the kind of place organized by scholars to teach children in the village to learn to read?" Zhu Di asked again.

Song Li bit his head and said: "Indeed, after thinking about it, this is the most appropriate one."

Zhu Di nodded, "Okay."

While talking, Zhu Di hugged Zhu Zhanji in his arms, and said apologetically, "My eldest grandson, it turns out that you have only studied in a private school for a year!"

Zhu Zhanji rolled his small eyes, looking innocent.

Zhu Di suddenly raised his head again, "Song Shangshu, do you know how many private schools Daming has?"

Song Li was taken aback, "This... I don't know."

"Then do you know how many ignorant children there are in the private school?"

Song Li was even more confused: "I still don't know."

Zhu Di smiled, "I don't know how many private schools there are, and how many young children I don't know. How can I count as the merit of enlightenment! This won't work. Let's see, isn't it collecting business tax now, and let all the shops register and register! I will give you the Ministry of Rites One power is to register all private schools. If there are any private schools that mislead their children, they can be dealt with easily. Of course, if there are good teachers, they should also be commended. It is the authority of your Ministry of Rites, Song Qing's family Don’t be too tired to refuse!”

Song Li obviously sensed a problem, but he couldn't refute it, nor could he refuse.

All six ministries are expanding their power, and their own Ministry of Rites cannot lag behind.

"My minister... according to the order!"

The moment Song Li agreed, the smile on Xu Jingchang's face could no longer hold back.

The gap was finally torn open.

"Song Shangshu, when I came, I prepared the situation of the school, including the scale of the school, the number of people in the school, the assessment standards, etc. If Song Shangshu is willing, my school is willing to become the best private school in the world. What do you think?"

Without waiting for Song Li to say anything, Zhu Di smiled and said: "Okay, let's call it the number one private school in the world... the place where my grandson studies is worthy of these four words... Song Qing's family, you can review it on the spot! Witness this with all your lords."

Finished!

Take strict precautions and try your best, but there are still omissions.

The official school is not good, and the Royal Academy is not good.

In the end, he was downgraded to a private school, but who knows that he is not afraid of how low his status is. As long as he has an official status, the next thing will be easy.

It's like taking a train. First-class and second-class seats are fine, even standing tickets are fine. The key is to get on the train, and you can reach your destination only after you get on the train.

So far, Song Li can't stop it, and neither can the six departments and nine ministers.

Xu Jingchang made the school, and actually got the title of number one in the world.

Although there is the word "private school" at the back, what does it matter?

Xu Jingchang then took out another graduation certificate like a magic trick.

"Your Majesty, this is for His Royal Highness. During his school days, he got full marks in cultural courses. He also performed well in other subjects such as carpentry, weaving, painting, and bookkeeping. Therefore, he was awarded a first-class graduation certificate, and it was Tianzi No. [-]. "

Zhu Di smiled all over his face, "Very well, this is what my grandson deserves."

Zhu Di happily accepted the graduation certificate, and raised his wine glass again, "Come on, let's drink this glass to the brim! Congratulations to the emperor!"

When the wine enters the throat, some people are happy, while others are miserable.

Strictly guard against death, but still can't prevent it.

With the fame and the name of the emperor's grandson, this school is destined to become a blockbuster.

Just when the big guy was tasting the bitterness, Xu Jingchang smiled and suggested: "Your Majesty, the top three in the imperial examination, there are officials in the imperial street, private schools and elementary schools, I dare not compare with the three tripods, but let them ride around the capital. I'm happy too, is it okay?"

Zhu Di smiled, "It's a good idea, it's also a great way to educate people, to improve their studies...but the imperial court can't pay for it."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this is a small private school activity, just a private one. We raise money by ourselves and entertain ourselves, which can be regarded as an explanation to the parents of the students. Don't dare to boast more than the serious etiquette department. official."

Xu Jingchang's tone was polite, but at this time Zhu Gaoxu said: "Father, since the eldest nephew has won the first class, I, as an uncle, plan to pay [-] guan. Please dance dragons and lions, play and dance, and have fun."

Zhu Gaosui also hastily said: "Second brother paid the money, so I will publish it in the mansion newspaper, which can be regarded as joining in the fun."
