At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 223 A humble background is not a shame
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and the time has come to May 13, [-].

The future of the entire Ming Dynasty is booming.

The people in the Ming Dynasty are increasingly looking forward to this kind of stable and peaceful life.

As long as there is no war, they all firmly believe that their life will be better.

But they also know that unless the world is unified, this war is still very close to them.

Cheng De also feels that if there is no unified regime in this world, then this kind of peaceful and stable days will only be short-lived.

Only unification can truly bring peace to the people.

However, Cheng De had to face several major enemies in the course of the great cause of unification——Chen Youliang, Liu Futong, and the Yuan Dynasty.

As for Zhang Shicheng's Great Zhou, Cheng De didn't take it seriously. In his heart, the threat that this piece of Shicheng posed to him was far less than the threat posed by Chen Youliang.

Before that, Cheng De had already sent a letter to invite He Sanwu to Nanjing City.

Unexpectedly, when He Sanwu arrived in Nanjing City, more than half a month had passed, far exceeding the original plan.

When Cheng De received a report from his subordinates that He Sanwu came to Nanjing City, it was just after Mao, so Cheng De carefully ordered that he be placed in a mansion next to the General's Mansion to rest. , goodbye to him.

As in the past, Cheng De went to the study to work.

Ma Liuyi and Luo Tian followed behind.

As Cheng De was walking, he suddenly stopped, and turned his gaze to Ma Liuyi who was at the side: "I heard that there are scholars in Nanjing City who are dissatisfied with me?"

Ma Liuyi lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Cheng De's eyes, but replied in a low voice: "Reporting to Duke Huai, the subordinates have sent someone to find out, those who are talking about King Huai are all arrogant, if you talk about it, With real skills, few of them have real talents and real learning. They just want to use the name of King Huai to make a name for themselves. Judging from the subordinates, these scholars are all full of food, and they are all like jumping on the beam. clown."

Cheng De frowned subconsciously: "Really? What are they talking about? Do you understand?"

Ma Liuyi was silent for a while, before replying: "What they said was nothing more than taking advantage of Duke Huai's background, and using it to mock Duke Huai's mud-legged background, and to elevate himself. As for the original words, the subordinates thought they were too harsh. , don't dirty Duke Huai's ears."

Cheng De's face darkened: "Bastard! I want to know everything these people said, and you will give me a book later."

Hearing this, Ma Liuyi's expression turned bitter. He really didn't want to write anything, especially if he was still writing an excerpt.

Moreover, the handwriting he wrote was even more appalling.

Ma Liuyi was a little worried for a moment. Will Prince Huai be able to see clearly the words he wrote?

After all, he is well aware of how ugly his handwriting is.

However, who would dare to disobey Duke Huai's order?

No matter how ugly the writing is, he can only bite the bullet and write.As for the consequences in the future, it is not something he is worried about now.

At present, he only wants to solve the matter that Duke Huai ordered before him.

All these thoughts were thought of by Ma Liuyi in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, Ma Liuyi nodded, and Cheng De continued to move forward when he saw this.

Looking at Cheng De's back, Ma Liuyi followed closely behind, and motioned for the younger Luo Tian to follow.

After Cheng De entered the study, he found that Gong Bosui was already waiting outside the study.

Seeing that it was Cheng De who had arrived, Gong Bo quickly bowed respectfully to Cheng De: "My humble servant pays homage to King Huai!"

Cheng De glanced at Gong Bosui, looked at Gong Bosui's energetic appearance, and showed some satisfaction on his face: "There is no need to be too polite. You came today much earlier than before. Why, don't take more rest. Right now, there is no need to be too polite. It's time for you to deal with government affairs."

Gong Bo then thought to himself: I just want to show off in front of Duke Huai. If there is a chance of promotion in the future, Duke Huai will think of me.Otherwise, with more and more talents under Duke Huai's command, it might be normal for him not to be remembered by Duke Huai.

Of course, Gong Bosui did not announce these words, but replied: "I am a servant of Duke Huai, so I should do my best and do my best. If you come earlier, you can handle more government affairs and share more worries for Duke Huai." .”

Cheng De's meaningful eyes fell on Gong Bosui, but he didn't say much, just nodded slightly, and then walked straight to the study.

Gong Bosui watched as Cheng De pushed open the study and entered, he didn't hesitate anymore, and followed Cheng De into the study.

After Gong Bosui entered, Ma Liuyi and Luo Tian quickly closed the door of the study, and then they waited around the door of the study, one on the left and one on the right, standing straight and looking around vigilantly.

After Gong Bosui entered the study, Cheng De did not directly sit down at his own desk, but said flatly behind Gong Bosui's back: "My subordinates told me that many scholars in Nanjing City are dissatisfied with me. , They are very dissatisfied with this king because of his humble background. Gong Bosui, tell me, but is there any way to make those people shut up? Because I don’t like these scholars.”

Gong Bo's expression changed.

He heard a lot from Cheng De's plain tone.

Firstly, Duke Huai was dissatisfied with those scholars who criticized him, especially when the reason for attacking Duke Huai was his background, this must be something that Duke Huai was very concerned about.

Secondly, Duke Huai seemed to intend to make himself responsible for handling this matter, otherwise, he would not have asked himself about this matter.Although he was nominally asking himself, Gong Bo knew that if he came up with a solution, Duke Huai would definitely leave the matter to him.

Thinking of this, Gong Bosui was still a little happy.Because in the same way, he was also extremely dissatisfied with those scholars in Nanjing who talked about King Huai.

All this is because those scholars have scolded him Gong Bosui, they all scolded Gong Bosui as an unfaithful and unrighteous person, and said that only he, Gong Bosui, can make the world more moral by apologizing with his death.

Of course, those scholars were not so polite to him, and the original words were too harsh. Even if Gong Bosui had the skill of cultivating the mind for many years, it was inevitable that he would always feel a little nervous.

However, right now, there is an opportunity.

Duke Huai was dissatisfied with them, this was a great opportunity.

Gong Bosui pondered for a moment, and then said: "Reporting to King Huai, I have thought of a plan, and it may work."

Hearing this, Cheng De turned around slightly, fixed his eyes on Gong Bo and said, "Say!"

"I think that being born in a humble background is not a disgrace. In order to save the people of the world at Liming, King Huai is determined to drive out the barbarians and restore China. He is a real man. I dare to say that the people in the Ming Dynasty respect King Huai very much in their hearts. As for those who talk about Duke Huai, they are just a group of unscrupulous people chasing fame and fortune, nothing to be afraid of."

"However, if these people are allowed to continue belittling Duke Huai, I am afraid that the people who are not aware of it will look down on Duke Huai. Therefore, I think that those who dare to belittle and mock Duke Huai should be severely punished. Duke Huai He is famous for his benevolence, but Duke Huai is the king of the Ming Dynasty, how can he allow a group of young people to smear Duke Huai?"

"Wei Chen suggested: For those scholars who disrespected King Huai, they should be permanently deprived of the imperial examination qualifications, and they will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examinations held by the Ming Dynasty within the next three generations. If they are not scholars of the Ming Dynasty, they should be expelled. Of course, these are not scholars of the Ming Dynasty. If these people are sent by other forces to my Ming Dynasty to sow discord, I think that I should be executed to make an example of others, and to deter people who are not from the Ming Dynasty."

Cheng De looked at Gong Bosui with satisfaction, and sighed: "I heard that a qualified monarch, the scholars under his rule will not discredit him. I have thought about it for a long time, but I haven't thought about what I haven't done well. .Then, it's not the king who has the problem, it's these scholars who provoke right and wrong. I'll leave this matter to you, and you must handle it beautifully."

Gong Bo then nodded emphatically: "Abiding by the order! This minister must handle this matter properly."

Cheng De looked at Gong Bosui gratifiedly, and suddenly said: "I heard that your eldest son is very knowledgeable, and he is proficient in everything. That's all right, let him handle affairs with this king from now on, and let him be in charge for the time being. Help the king to draft the decree, and help convey some of the king's will, what do you think?"

Gong Bosui looked at Cheng De incredulously, and was extremely happy in his heart, so he knelt down to thank King Huai and said, "I thank King Huai for your kindness, and long live King Huai!"

Cheng De was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly hearing Gong Bosui's words made his thoughts fly.

After a while, Cheng De answered, "You go down first and do what the king told you to do!"

"Yes!" Gong Bo responded quickly, and hurried out of the study.

When he walked out of the study, Gong Bo was in full bloom. The future of his Gong family must be bright.

Even if he leaves one day, the Gong family will be prosperous for a long time. The burden that has been weighing on his heart for a long time is gone today. How can we not make Gong Bosui happy?

However, the things Duke Huai entrusted to him had to be done beautifully.

Ma Liuyi and Luo Tian looked at Gong Bosui who came out with a smile on his face, and they looked at each other.

Because Gong Bosui had always given them the impression of being unsmiling, and the scene they saw now was something they had never imagined.

Seeing Gong Bosui smiling so happily, they all had some guesses in their hearts.

Ma Liuyi thought: Could it be that Mr. Gong was rewarded with a beauty by King Huai?
Luo Tian thought in his heart: Could it be that Mr. Gong has a grandson in his arms?
