My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 249 The Ming Dynasty Needs You

Zhu Gaochi decided to send five hundred Tai students to Peiping. When the news came out, the government and the public were in an uproar.

For a while, everyone was asking, what is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going to do?
Whose idea is this?

On the surface, he accepted the advice of the Ministry of Officials, that is, Jian Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials?

Jian Tianguan, you drove away Xia Shangshu, Yang Xueshi, and wanted to expel the imperial student. Did the Emperor of Ming become your Jian Tianguan?

Many people were furious and flocked to Jian Yi's mansion, wanting to ask for an explanation.

But at this moment, outside Jian Yi's mansion, there are already a lot of servants from Ying Tian's mansion, they directly block people back, Jian Tian official sees no outsiders!

These Tai students surrounded for half a day, seeing no way to see, full of resentment in their hearts.

They all turned to look for Xia Yuanji, begging Xia Shangshu for an explanation?
Could it be that you, an old man, feel that it is too boring to go by yourself, so you want to take Tai students with you?
When this group of people found them, Xia Mansion did not close the door, but Xia Yuanji left early.

He was going to Peiping, and he was already sitting on the boat, ready to cross the river.

This one patted his ass and ran away first.

Let the Tai students go to nothing again.

One of the two court officials closed the door and disappeared, while the other fled.May I ask who has such a great ability?Can it scare these two?

Could it be that those of us Tai students are going to be thrown to Peking like trash?

It just doesn't make sense!
"Let's go to Dengwen Drum Academy!"

At this time, it is not just the five hundred Tai students, because this order is aimed at all Tai students, and the 500 people are only the first batch. The specific list has not yet been released, and the ghost knows who will fall on it.

The crowd was furious and went straight to the Tongzheng Secretary.

That's right, the Dengwen Drum Academy is placed in the Department of General Affairs. When Xu Jingchang was the general secretary, he also thought about how to beat the Dengwen Drum to get Zhu Di out... This is the rule set by Zhu Yuanzhang. If there is any injustice If you are wronged, you can beat the Dengwen drum.

And once the Dengwen Drum is sounded, the Secretary of the General Administration must take the person to Fengtianmen to face the emperor in person, and the emperor will directly handle the matter.

This is also the last way of life left by Lao Zhu for the common people, and it can be regarded as the shackles put on the head of the Zhu family emperor, restraining the monarch, ministers, court and the public.

At this time, it was Xie Jin who was in charge of the General Secretary, not Xu Jingchang. It was really difficult for him to stop the menacing Tai students.

The angry Tai students rushed into the Dengwen Drum Yard, raised the huge drumsticks, and then beat them hard...no sound!
how come?
As long as this thing is knocked, the palace can hear it clearly.

The big guy went around to the back, and then he saw clearly that the Dengwen drum was broken.

The drum head of this thing is made of special materials, no one has damaged it, and it will not break for decades.

"Good job, Xie Jin! You are called a genius, but you are actually a down-to-earth villain!"

Everyone was furious, now there was only one way left, that was to go to Zuoshunmen, find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and explain the matter clearly.

The Tai students came out of the Dengwen Drum Academy, and before they set off, they saw a person head-on, Guozijian Jijiu Wang Hong. If Taixue was regarded as a school, then Guozijian Jijiu was their old principal.

Wang Hong was a Jinshi during the Hongwu period. Because of his solid knowledge, he was promoted to the Imperial College Jijiu, and also served as the editor of "Hongwu Shilu".

"Listen to me, you guys, don't be impulsive, let alone make trouble. The imperial court has rules, you are like headless chickens, making Yingtian uneasy, do you want to cut off your official career?"

The leading student of the Imperial College angrily said: "Your Majesty, a scholar can be killed, but not humiliated. The students are all members of the Imperial College. They study hard and have no fault. Why do you want us to go to Peiping?"

"Yes, there are rules in the selection of the imperial court. The officials are ingenious. Sending the imperial students to Peiping is a fundamental violation of the national code."

"My lord, over the years, literati have been framed time and time again, criticizing Confucius and Confucianism... Now we are going to send students to the emperor. We scholars are not at fault!"

Wang Hong looked at these Tai students and nodded repeatedly.

"I have heard what you mean. I also feel the same in my heart. Please rest assured, I will go to see His Royal Highness and explain the matter clearly. You all go back to the Imperial College and wait for the news. If it doesn't work, everyone will follow your method It's not too late to do things."

The leading student was still unconvinced, "My lord, it's not that the students don't believe me, it's just that they are afraid that the court will deceive us... I can't let this breath out!"

Wang Hong saw it in his eyes, and said sadly: "Big fellow, listen to me, if this old man fails to go, I will take off this black gauze hat, and I will use my official position as a guarantee, isn't it okay?"

Faced with such a sincere statement from the boss, the Tai students looked at each other and finally nodded.

Wang Hong secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, it was too dangerous.

Then he went to the East Palace and asked to see Zhu Gaochi.

Coincidentally, Zhu Gaochi was practicing archery. He just finished shooting a pot of arrows. He wiped off his sweat, turned his head and saw Wang Hong, and said with a smile, "Wang Qing, is there something wrong?"

Wang Hong took two steps, came in front of Zhu Gaochi, bowed and said, "His Royal Highness, rashly let the Tai students go north, and there are many discussions. Can His Highness delay the process? Or send fewer people?"

"Small faction? How much is that?"

"Three fifty people? Or send those who are late in the examination, or those who entered the Imperial Academy with kindness, to Peiping?"

Zhu Gaochi agreed, and then said: "Is it just a poor student?"

Wang Hong was at a loss for words for a moment, but he could only acquiesce.

Zhu Gaochi thought about it: "It's not impossible, but the emperor's urging is urgent, and Duke Ding also needs people... to open the forum, build a school, and especially to coordinate and calculate taxes. These are inseparable from manpower. Wang Qing's family should also know that now Beiping is planning to focus on commercial taxes, collecting taxes, and how to verify goods and determine tax rates is a very troublesome matter. In short, I can't be vague about the things that my father entrusts me with. "

Wang Hong looked to both sides, lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness, I dare to ask you, are you willing to move the capital?"

Zhu Gaochi shook his head hastily, "I am opposed to moving the capital, everyone knows about it, and I tried my best to stop my father. Could it be that Wang Qing's family has doubts?"

Wang Hongdao: "Your Highness, I have no doubts about His Highness's intentions. I have thought over and over again. If too many people are sent to Beiping, too much financial resources will be invested. When the time comes, His Majesty's order will move the capital?"

Zhu Gaochi blinked, and thought seriously again, "It seems to be the case. What do Wang Qing's family think they should do? Could it be that they want to fool the emperor and resist the will?"

Wang Hong pondered over and over again, and then he plucked up the courage to say: "Your Highness, we can carry it out slowly, carefully select from among the Tai students, and slowly draw it. As long as it drags on for a few months, His Majesty will also leave by then. In [-], I had to return to Yingtian. As long as His Majesty comes back and sends people to Beiping, it will be nothing."

After Zhu Gaochi thought for a while, he nodded again and again, "Wang Qing's family, are you asking me to evade excuses and fool Father Jun?"

Old Wang Hong blushed, and hurriedly bowed and said: "This minister is also to save people's resources and avoid moving the capital, which will cause countless costs and ruin lives."

Zhu Gaochi laughed, and said again: "At the beginning, Ding Guogong sent many censors to go out to inspect, saying that he could not understand the local situation in Beijing. Tai students can't be more noble than officials, right? They are not afraid of hard work, so they don't want to go. ?”

Wang Hong was even more stunned, "Your Highness, what is this saying? Absolutely not, absolutely not!"

Zhu Gaochi laughed again, "Actually, even if the big guys don't want to go to Peiping, I can understand it. The wind and rain in Saibei is full of sand and dust. It's really not easy! Wang Qing's house, you can go down, I still want to shoot arrows."

Wang Hong had no choice but to say goodbye, but his heart was full of twists and turns... Zhu Gaochi was very talkative and in line with his ideas, but the following few sentences broke the matter. Trek across mountains and rivers, and ran to the bitter cold Beiping.

People's hearts are like this, Wang Hong is just pushing the boat along the way.

Thinking that Zhu Gaochi is no better than Zhu Di, he should be easy to talk and easy to deal with, right?
After sending Wang Hong away, Zhu Gaochi shot another pot of arrows, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

"Your Highness, go and change your clothes."

Zhu Gaochi agreed, but said again: "By the way, prepare the carriage, I want to go out of the city, and go to the No. [-] School in the World!"

The eunuch was taken aback for a moment, but didn't dare to say anything more.Since Zhu Di left, the crown prince supervised the country and assumed great power. His prestige has grown day by day, and no one dares to take him lightly.

After a while, Zhu Gaochi got into the carriage and quickly left the city to the school.

This is a very interesting school. It is interesting not because His Royal Highness is enlightened here, but because this school is getting bigger and bigger almost every day.

Not long ago, there was an additional medical school, which was funded by King Zhu of Zhou.

The number of students here is also rapidly expanding, and the number has already exceeded [-].

Yingtian, Jiangnan, many merchants came here to recruit students... For example, the students of the School of Mathematical Sciences were robbed before they graduated.

After Zhu Gaochi arrived, he ordered directly: "Prepare me a table, hang up a banner, and say that I will recruit people for the father, and anyone who wants to go to Beiping to find an errand, come and sign up!"

His Royal Highness came to recruit students, and the school exploded in an instant!
Not to mention the students, even the teachers were moved.

The big guys ran over frantically, after all, the school is too big, and it will take time to rush over.

Coincidentally, there was a person in the front row. His name was Lin San. It turned out that Zhu Gaosui's compositor had learned a lot of characters through self-study, passed the school assessment, and became a teacher.

"Returning to Your Highness, back then in Enke, the villain had witnessed many old officials soaring into the sky thanks to the grace of the court... At that time, the villain didn't study much, but only knew a few words. During this time, the villain studied hard, I finally became a school lecturer. Zhuo Jing also gave birth to a son, I have no regrets in this life, I am willing to serve the Ming court, no matter what I do."

Zhu Gaochi looked at him seriously, then picked up the pen, wrote Lin San's name first, and then said meaningfully: "The Ming Dynasty needs people like you!"
