Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 165 What's wrong with the imperial examination?

Lao Zhu still had a thick skin.

Queen Ma didn't expose it, she got used to it.

"By the way, Chongba, have you heard that last Mid-Autumn Festival, Mr. Su sent a lot of mooncakes to his servants, and now these mooncakes are already soaring."

Empress Ma said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Although she is always in the palace, she still knows a lot about things inside and outside the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, and said in surprise: "What else is there? How can those fresh meat mooncakes be so popular?"

Thinking of the weird taste of the fresh meat mooncakes, Lao Zhu still felt a little queasy in his heart.

Empress Ma said: "That's the mooncake made by Mr. Su. Besides, there are a few people who don't like mooncakes filled with meat."

In the Ming Dynasty, when white noodles and polished rice were extremely precious, there were really few people who didn't like meat.

"The moon cakes made by Su Jing are also moon cakes. I think these people are not in the right mind!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.

In his view, this is the unscrupulous behavior of businessmen.

"Chongba, don't think too much, there are not many mooncakes, and besides, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and this matter will pass soon."

Empress Ma said quickly.

She didn't want Lao Zhu to punish a group of people because of her few words.

It's just chatting, it's not good to involve other people.

"understood."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately agreed.

While the two were talking, a Gongwei Lang appeared outside Fengxian Hall.

It was the one who was responsible for delivering the letter. Under the eunuch's notification, he also came to the hall and handed over the letter and items.

"This time, Biaoer's reply was really quick."

Empress Ma said in surprise.

After all, it was only two or three days before Zhu Biao left the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already taken out those binoculars and began to check them one by one.

"Biao'er knew that these telescopes were important, so he specially sent someone to bring them here."

Zhu Yuanzhang replied.

For these important military supplies, even though he knew that Su Jing had left, Zhu Yuanzhang still checked them one by one to make sure there were no problems.

"Mr. Su is really a trustworthy person, and he has done so much so quickly."

Empress Ma looked at so many binoculars and said with emotion.

When Su Jing agreed to make a telescope for Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma was also there.

Empress Ma was quite amazed by this efficiency.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Su Jing is indeed impeccable in this regard, and he is also very considerate of the soldiers on the frontier, which is quite good!"

"The sentence that we can be safe and sound is because the frontline soldiers are carrying the heavy load, it really wins my heart!"

Old Zhu Na is the immediate emperor, he is very familiar with the army, and has a different kind of affection.

Lao Zhu remembered Su Jing's words in his heart at that time, so he will naturally not forget it.

"Mr. Su's character is admirable."

Empress Ma said seriously.

While speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang also checked all the telescopes.

"How about it, is there any problem, Shigehachi?"

Empress Ma asked Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Su Jing's craftsmanship is quite good, there is nothing wrong with it."

Looking at these binoculars, Zhu Yuanzhang was also much happier.

This is the guarantee of victory in front-line battles.

"What is this?"

Empress Ma suddenly saw the two sheets of paper attached to the letter and opened it.

It was the question posed by Kaos, the answer by Zhu Xi, and the question posed by Su Jing.

Zhu Yuanzhang also had doubts. After a glance, he found that it was two math problems.

Don't think about it, it's probably a matter between Kaos and Su Jing.

"Biao'er should have written it in the letter, sister, let's see it."

Zhu Yuanzhang opened Zhu Biao's letter while speaking.

Sure enough, this beginning directly told Zhu Yuanzhang the ins and outs of the two math problems.

"So that's how it is. Mr. Su and that Kaos, they can be regarded as friends through literature."

Empress Ma said.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "What is it to make friends with literature? This is obviously a rivalry, but judging from the meaning of Biaoer, Su Jing is even better, not bad."

Although Lao Zhu didn't pay much attention to mathematics, he couldn't be overwhelmed by a Roman.

Su Jing's performance made Old Zhu Na quite satisfied.

Empress Ma glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and shook her head slightly, men are just competitive.

And what Zhu Biao said next made Lao Zhu's expression change immediately.

Su Jing predicted that after the Ming Dynasty reopened the imperial examination, it would stop soon.

This.
Whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang or Empress Ma, after seeing this, their faces changed quite a lot.

"Why would Mr. Su say that?"

Empress Ma looked surprised, but she didn't doubt Su Jing immediately, but wondered if there was something wrong with the imperial examination.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was dignified. Regarding Su Jing's ability to predict, he had already experienced it once.

From the bottom of his heart, he believed in Su Jing's prophecy.

But his rationality made him unable to believe it. How could this be possible?
For the reopening of the imperial examination, Zhu Yuanzhang spent a lot of effort, and the civil servants of Ming Dynasty also discussed many plans.

There is something wrong with Su Jing's mouth.

The imperial examination is a major event, and it is necessary to recruit talents from the Ming Dynasty to replenish the court with fresh blood.

"Why exactly?"

Zhu Yuanzhang muttered to himself.

Empress Ma said: "Chongba, let's continue to look at the future, did Mr. Su explain why this happened?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, then continued to look back.

But Zhu Biao's letter said it directly, and Su Jing didn't say why.

"This Su Jing, why does he always like to play tricks?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily as he slapped the table.

The same thing happened before, every time I raised some key matters concerning Daming with Zhu Biao, I always said half of it.

There are only problems, no causes, and no solutions.

This imperial examination will be announced to scholars all over the world next year. Su Jing will say that there is a problem with the imperial examination, and it will be stopped after it is completed.

Who can bear this!

"Heavchi, calm down."

Empress Ma immediately persuaded: "Mr. Su doesn't know Biao'er's identity, besides, he didn't tell me. He will naturally know the reason when the time comes."

Empress Ma can understand Su Jing quite well.

The important matter of the imperial examination is the top priority of Ming Dynasty. Su Jing can tell Zhu Biao what he said, and he already trusts Zhu Biao.

If ordinary people say this, and Zhu Yuanzhang finds out, it probably won't end well.

"When the time comes, when the time comes, what's the use of knowing."

Zhu Yuanzhang was still impatient.

But this is precisely because he believes in Su Jing too much. If Su Jing says there is a problem, there is a high probability that there is a problem.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang, who didn't know the reason, felt like ants were crawling in his heart, and he didn't even bother to read the content behind Zhu Biao's letter.

"Chongba, it really doesn't work, let Biaoer ask again."

Empress Ma suggested to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "It's not necessary, Su Jing has already seen the problem. Could it be that my ministers of Ming Dynasty are all trash, and they can't find any problems?"

Old Zhu is not Zhu Biao, he looks to Su Jing for everything, what is this?

What's more, now that there is a problem with the imperial examination, Su Jing has made a final decision, so it won't be so difficult to find it again.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, Empress Ma didn't say anything more.

She quickly resigned, while Lao Zhu drove directly towards the Hanlin Academy.

Inside the Imperial Academy.

Headed by Song Lian, several bachelors are busy.

Song Lian, who had just finished "Yuan History", did not have much free time.

Because Lao Zhu issued an edict to revise the "Ancestral Precepts", which is the "Emperor Ming Ancestral Precepts" for later generations.

This matter is different from the revision of "Yuan History". You only need to search for information, verify them one by one, and then consolidate and revise them.

"Ancestral Precepts" is Zhu Yuanzhang's admonition to future generations in order to consolidate Zhu Ming's imperial power.

All the content must be in accordance with Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning.

Although Lao Zhu himself read more whenever he had time after the uprising, his cultural level is definitely not a mud leg.

But in terms of literary talent, it is still a lot worse.

Therefore, to revise "Ancestral Precepts" is to ask Zhu Yuanzhang to give a general idea first, and then the Imperial Academy will polish and revise it by itself to form a draft.

The draft will be submitted to Zhu Yuanzhang for review. If it passes, then it will continue to be revised later, and if it fails, it will be revised.

This is similar to the materials requested by Su Jing's previous leaders, it only has a general meaning, and there is no standard specification.

However, it all depends on Lao Zhu's wishes.

And what's more ruthless is that Lao Zhu himself doesn't know how many articles to write in "Ancestral Precepts".

Anyway, just thinking of mentioning it, the people below have to work hard to practice.

Maybe I forgot it in a few days and just rejected it.

People who have been busy for a long time can't feel the slightest dissatisfaction. Sometimes they don't polish well, and they may even be scolded.

It can only be said that this job is quite difficult.

Of course, none of the Hanlin bachelors of the Hanlin Academy are fuel-efficient lamps, and their level is still online.

Even so, it took six years to complete the book.

It is conceivable how many deletions and revisions this "Ancestral Precepts" has undergone, and how many different versions there are.

"His Majesty is here!"

As the eunuch's summons sounded, everyone in the Hanlin Academy immediately stopped their work and gathered at the door.

When Zhu Yuanzhang appeared, the academicians of the Imperial Academy immediately saluted him.

"Everyone, you are all bachelors of the Imperial Academy. I have something that I need you to clarify."

Zhu Yuanzhang said to the crowd headed by Song Lian.

"I don't know what His Majesty said?"

Song Lian is the chief of the Imperial Academy. He is the biggest here, so he is the one who speaks.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Song Lian and said, "There is something wrong with the imperial examinations to be held in Ming Dynasty next year. I want you to find out."

There is a problem with the imperial examination!
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this, the faces of all the Hanlin scholars changed.

This imperial examination is within the scope of their Imperial Academy's functions.

In order to reopen the imperial examination next year in Ming Dynasty, they also worked hard and worked hard to complete the regulations of the imperial examination.

Yet now.

Zhu Yuanzhang directly said that there was a problem with the imperial examination and asked them to find it out.

This.
"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

All the Hanlin scholars knelt down, their expressions were quite frightened.

The regulations for the imperial examinations were all negotiated and formulated by them. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was the last one to finalize the regulations, there must be no problems with the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

So, they can only bear the burden.

How sharp Zhu Yuanzhang's butcher knife is, no one in the court, civil and military officials, knows.

It is not unusual for a major event like the imperial examination to go wrong.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands and said, "Get up, did I say I'm going to punish you again?"

All the Hanlin scholars were still trembling, only Song Lian said:

"I don't know what is the problem of the imperial examination that His Majesty said?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "Song Qing, I am asking you to ask questions now, do I know that I still use it to ask you?"

Song Lian was taken aback for a moment, and immediately thought of what Zhu Biao had talked to him before.

Zhu Biao once said that Su Jing was quite resistant to the matter of taking an official position due to stereotyped writing.

It's just that Zhu Biao didn't make it clear at the time why Su Jing resisted.

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang went straight to the Imperial Academy to ask them, Song Lian was sure that this matter must have something to do with Su Jing.

After thinking for a while, Song Lian replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the matter of the imperial examination is a policy that I have discussed and formulated with all my colleagues. I am afraid that I may not be able to find the problem for the time being."

Song Lian is still courageous, but this is also the truth.

After all, regarding the imperial examination, as a scholar, he certainly did his best.

After various arguments and various considerations, a charter was finally produced.

All kinds of issues have been considered.

If they immediately agreed to Zhu Yuanzhang to find out the problem, it would only prove that they hadn't done it seriously before.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Song Lian and said: "Song Qing, I know that you are doing your best, but I have already said that there are still problems with the imperial examination. You should stop what you are doing first, and I will give you three days. I want to see your conclusions."

Three days!

Old Zhu couldn't believe it anymore, there are so many bachelors in the Imperial Academy, they can't compare with Su Jing.

Three days is already the maximum time he can tolerate.

Song Lian's face was a bit ugly, but he could only kneel down and said, "I will definitely do my best."

No way, Zhu Yuanzhang was not discussing with him, but directly issued an order.

The first refusal is invalid, which means that it cannot be rejected.

After Zhu Yuanzhang arranged the matter, he left the Imperial Academy directly.

At this time, the Imperial Academy was full of sighs.

"Let us find the questions of the imperial examination in three days, what should we do!"

"We have been discussing the imperial examination for a long time, so what's the problem?"

"Why is Your Majesty so sure there is a problem?"

"Three days later, I'm afraid I will be punished by His Majesty."

As Song Lian said, they had discussed the matter of the imperial examination many times long ago, and the determination of the plan was based on multiple considerations.

Lao Zhu directly asked them to find a problem, but he didn't even have a direction, so how to find it?
I have no idea!

The three days were too short, and everyone felt that they were really unlucky.

At this time, Song Lian's face was solemn, and Wang Yi on the side turned to Song Lian and said, "Brother Jing Lian, do you have some ideas?"

Song Lian nodded and said, "Zichong, I'm afraid this matter has something to do with that Mr. Su."

He didn't mention the prince Zhu Biao. After all, Zhu Biao was hesitant to speak at that time, but he could see it.

Su Jing!

Wang Yi's expression changed, and he asked, "Mr. Su!"

This Su Jing's name was recently circulated in the Ming Dynasty Hall.

It is no wonder that Zhu Yuanzhang would come directly to the Imperial Academy for a person who was able to go to the Mid-Autumn Festival with his family and family.

It's normal to have a relationship with Su Jing.
