Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 177 Liu Ji and Song Lian met together, Lao Zhu's true thoughts

"We apply an upward force to the pulley..."

In the yard, Su Jing was beside Zhu Biao, teaching him to do force analysis.

Mechanics is a very important content and must be learned well.

Of course, learning well is not an easy thing.

Fortunately, Zhu Biao's inner motivation to study is very strong, for the future of Daming!

In addition, his brain is not stupid, so it is not so painful to learn.

At this time, Liu Bowen was in the room, thinking carefully about what Su Jing had told him in the past two days.

Changes in social patterns.

Primitive society, slave society, feudal society and capitalist society.

These changes in social forms correspond to the characteristics and the process of their changes.

Sorting it all out, it's like seeing all the changes in the world.

Liu Bowen's heart is only shocked, which has far surpassed all the knowledge he has learned before.

Compared with Su Jing, his little ability to assist Zhu Yuanzhang in conquering the world is so trivial that it is not worth mentioning.

What I can see is just the changes from generation to generation, and what I can do is only this overnight thing.

But Su Jing's gaze is the entire long river of history.

If Su Jing wanted to, would it be possible for him to make these changes come earlier?

The more Liu Bowen thought about it, the more he realized it was possible.

In this way, wouldn't Su Jing
Thinking that he was about to go back and return to Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen felt a little uncertain.

What should I say myself?
Su Jing's fate is already in his own hands.

"Niu Su, the considerations here are not comprehensive enough, you need to."

"Niu Yi, can the direction of this force be disassembled into..."

……

The figure of Su Jing teaching Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi in the courtyard fell into Liu Bowen's eyes.

Whether it's Su Jing, Zhu Biao or Zhu Xi, they all have pure eyes.

That is the purity that Liu Bowen only had when he was young and studying.

Liu Bowen just watched like this, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.

I really think too much.

"How can someone like Mr. Su care about this secular power?"

Liu Bowen shook his head mockingly, walked slowly into the courtyard, and came in front of Su Jing.

"Yo, old Liu."

Su Jing saw Liu Bowen and said with a smile.

Liu Bowen bowed slightly towards Su Jing and cupped his hands: "These two days, thank you Mr. Su for your hospitality, I want to say goodbye to Lao Liu."

Ok?
Su Jing was taken aback, and said, "Are you leaving now? Old Liu, it's fine to stay for a few more days."

Although Su Jing was explaining and teaching these two days, Liu Bowen's performance also surprised Su Jing.

An ancient man can have such thoughts.

It can be said that it has surpassed the times, and it is still a very comfortable thing to stay with smart people.

"No, I don't have any regrets, thank you Mr. Su again for your generous teaching."

Liu Bowen bowed to Su Jing again, with an extremely sincere attitude.

"Hey, old Liu, this is a bit too much!"

Su Jing quickly pulled up Liu Bowen's body, this old Liu could almost be his grandfather, so inappropriate.

After a simple exchange of pleasantries, Liu Bowen finally left.

Su Jing looked at Liu Bowen's back, and shook her head slightly.

"Master Su, Master Liu is just involuntary."

Zhu Biao on the side spoke.

He knew about Liu Bowen's situation.

Su Jing said lightly: "I know, your father, so be it."

Liu Bowen came suddenly, stayed for two days and then left immediately.

He also asked a lot of questions, and it was obviously impossible for him to come here.

Although Su Jing has never inquired about Zhu Biao's family background, he is still clear in his heart.

Zhu Biao was silent when he heard the words, and there was only so much he could say.

at the same time.

In the Hanlin Garden, a group of Hanlin scholars are very nervous at the moment.

These two days have passed, and Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to find the imperial examination questions, but now he still has no clue.

"Lord Song, what should we do? Tomorrow is the last day of His Majesty's deadline."

A Hanlin scholar came to Song Lian and complained.

As a Hanlin scholar of the Imperial Academy, Song Lian is the leader and backbone of these Hanlin scholars.

Song Lian said with a serious face: "I will find a way, Your Majesty, let me tell."

Song Lian is not someone who shirks responsibility, he took over the drudgery of reporting decisively.

However, even if Song Lian said so, the faces of these Hanlin scholars did not change much.

If the problem is not resolved, so what if you don't report it yourself, this is not irresponsible.

For a while, the entire Imperial Academy was filled with a gloomy atmosphere.

After all, I was still afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang.

This matter was ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, but they had no clue at all.

What should I do?
Song Lian also has no bottom in his heart.

He wanted to ask Su Jing in the past, but there was no news of Su Jing at all.

There is no way at all!
Do you want to use the reasons that Prince Zhu Biao told him a few days ago?
Song Lian fell into confusion.

"Brother Jing Lian!"

At this time, Wang Yi walked quickly to Song Lian, his expression was a little anxious.

"What's the matter, Zichong, what happened?"

Song Lian looked at Wang Yi, who was in a hurry, and said doubtfully.

Wang Yi said: "I just saw Uncle Chengyi enter the palace."

Sincerity Uncle Liu Bowen enters the palace!

Hearing this, Song Lian immediately frowned.

He has a good relationship with Liu Bowen, and Liu Bowen mentioned him before.

Liu Bowen's situation was known to everyone in the court.

This will be called into the palace suddenly, there must be something.

It's just that no one knows whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

After thinking about it for a while, Song Lian made a decision: "Zichong, please host here first, and I will meet His Majesty."

Song Lian still has the character of a scholar.

Liu Bowen's condition is unknown, and Song Lian doesn't want to just stand by and watch.

At least, I learned about Entubao.

"okay, I get it."

Wang Yi knew Song Lian well, so he nodded immediately.

Song Lian immediately set off and went straight to the palace!
In Fengxian Hall at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was waiting for Liu Bowen's arrival.

On his desk, there were no official documents.

It was the song "Nian Nujiao · Mid-Autumn Festival Conversing with the Moon" that Su Jing and Zhu Biao recited when they were flying under the moon.

It can be said that Lao Zhu himself has no attainments in literature.

He can understand the superficial meaning of this word, and it won't work if there are more words.

"Su Jing, what do you mean by writing this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang murmured to himself that he was too busy before, so he didn't have time to look at it, and he didn't think about it.

"Your Majesty, sincerity has arrived."

The eunuch's voice sounded.

"Xuan."

Zhu Yuanzhang said immediately.

He was really anxious for waiting, Liu Bowen was sent to Su Jing by himself, and now he finally came back.

What exactly did the two of them say, Zhu Yuanzhang was in a hurry!
There is no way, Su Jing's vigilance is too strong, Gong Weilang has already confirmed this matter earlier.

Later, the two sides agreed to monitor from a distance, but there was no possibility of monitoring.

"The old minister pays his respects to His Majesty."

When he came to Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen immediately knelt down.

You must have a good attitude.

"Berwen, get up quickly, you and I, monarchs and ministers, don't care about these etiquettes."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said that at this moment, he is completely an extremely kind image.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Bowen got up slowly.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up directly from the chair, walked up to Liu Bowen and said, "Bowen, how was the meeting with Su Jing?"

What Zhu Yuanzhang was most concerned about was the meeting between Liu Bowen and Su Jing.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have learned a lot from Mr. Su and benefited a lot."

Liu Bowen replied seriously.

To be honest, I still have to say it.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Then tell me first, what is going on with the imperial examination?"

After all, it is something that will be announced to the world soon, and it is normal for Zhu Yuanzhang to be anxious.

At this moment, the voice of the eunuch came from outside again:

"Song Chengzhi is here!"

Song Lian is here!

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly taken aback, a little surprised, and then thought of the task he had given to the Imperial Academy a few days ago.

But hasn't the three-day deadline come yet?

Has Song Lian already found the problem?
Liu Bowen on the side frowned slightly, Song Lian's appearance really surprised him.

He didn't know Zhu Yuanzhang's previous arrangement.

Is it related to yourself?
"Xuan."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand directly.

Soon, Song Lian also appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Chen Song Lian pays homage to His Majesty."

Song Lian saluted Zhu Yuanzhang, and did not forget to glance at Liu Bowen.

He didn't see any embarrassment on Liu Bowen's face, and he relaxed a little.

It should not be embarrassing for Liu Bowen.

"Song Lian, you came here suddenly, are you reporting to me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said directly: "I have a limit of three days, and now the deadline for the three of them has not yet come, and there is already an answer?"

Song Lian raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, the officials and the Imperial Academy have been thinking about it for several days, but they have not found out the shortcomings of the imperial examination, so today I am here to plead guilty."

Plead guilty?

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Song Lian to be so direct.

And Liu Bowen, who was on the side, was quite surprised when he heard Song Lian's words.

When Song Lian came over, he was pleading guilty, and it was still related to the imperial examination.

Although it was just a few simple words, Liu Bowen guessed a general idea.

Zhu Yuanzhang probably learned from Su Jing that the imperial examination would be suspended, and then let the people of the Imperial Academy find out the reason.

"Your Majesty, I just got an answer from Mr. Su. This matter has nothing to do with Song Chengzhi."

Liu Bowen spoke immediately.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't intend to punish Song Lian at all, but when he heard what Liu Bowen said, he said directly:
"Then Bowen, tell me what Su Jing said."

Song Lian also realized at this time that Liu Bowen should have gone to see Su Jing before.

Like himself, what Liu Bowen wanted to understand was also the drawbacks of the imperial examination.

Liu Bowen immediately said: "Mr. Su said that there is nothing wrong with the imperial examination itself. The reason why the imperial examination will be suspended is because of His Majesty."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed suddenly.

Even Song Lian, who just pleaded guilty, was shocked. What does this mean?

Is Su Jing so bold?
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a sullen face: "My sincerity, tell me what Su Jing said."

Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang was on the verge of anger at this meeting.

Liu Bowen said without changing his face: "Mr. Su said that the talents His Majesty needs are not those who can only read books by rote, but those who can handle practical affairs."

"The talents selected by the Ming Dynasty's first imperial examination are not what His Majesty needs, so His Majesty will stop the imperial examination."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately eased a lot, he nodded and said: "Su Shi's words are quite good. If I govern the Ming Dynasty, if only those who can only read dead books come to be officials, it will definitely not work. If this is the case, then it would be better to stop the imperial examination.”

From Lao Zhu's point of view, what he wants must be talents who can govern the country, and only those who can do things can do it.

Su Jing's words reached Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

Song Lian stood aside, hearing this, but felt a little puzzled.

Before the prince Zhu Biao came to him and talked about the imperial examination, in Zhu Biao's mouth, that's not what he said.

It's getting weirder.

"However, how does Su Jing know that the talents selected in the imperial examination this time are all mediocre?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

Although Su Jing's reasoning is correct, there are still some things that are not clear.

Liu Bowen replied: "Mr. Su said, Your Majesty has captured the world, and he has gathered talents from all over the world, and they are still the best talents. Even if talents are selected in this imperial examination, Your Majesty will not think they are so good."

This is a comparison.

Everything is about comparison.

"Ah."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, agreeing with Su Jing's statement.

In today's Daming, the most powerful talents are basically under his command.

This is not selected by any imperial examination, but a talent who has gone through many battles and practical experience.

How can the people who are selected by a mere exam compare with them.

"Su Jing is right, but, according to what he said, it would not be best not to hold this imperial examination at all."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen and asked, "Bowen, what do you think?"

From Bowen to Sincerity Bo and then to Bowen, the change of Zhu Yuanzhang's title can be seen from the change of his attitude.

Liu Bowen immediately said: "I think that what Mr. Su said is true, but the imperial examination is something that scholars all over the world yearn for. It should be held or it must be held."

Song Lian also said: "Your Majesty, I also think that this imperial examination is imperative."

"Perhaps what Mr. Su said is right, but if he directly gives up holding it, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of scholars all over the world."

Both Liu Bowen and Song Lian have pursuits.

Their families are not small. In fact, it would definitely be more beneficial for them if the imperial examinations were not held.

Especially Song Lian, the prince's teacher, has countless disciples and old officials, and now it is the Imperial Academy's order.

If it is still a recommendation system, how many people have to come to ask him.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two of them, how could he not know the resistance of the aristocrats of this family.

For the imperial examination and recommendation, Lao Zhu has a steelyard in his heart for the pros and cons of all parties.

For those local nobles and gentry who had the power to recommend, the imperial examination was the shackles that compressed their power expansion.

Zhu Yuanzhang also received a lot of memorials suggesting the postponement of the imperial examination, which were well said and had various reasons.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was very clear about their thoughts.

The reason why I have been holding on to Su Jing's sentence that the imperial examination will be suspended is probably because the pros and cons are complicated.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to see if Su Jing could solve this problem.

At the same time, he also wanted to see what some people thought.
