Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 295 Don't worry, I'll take care of something
"Song Lian, what do you think?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Song Lian who was on the side.

At present, Song Lian is in charge of the army of Daming Ke. If the imperial examination is to be changed, he must be asked for his opinion.

Song Lian cupped his hands towards Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "My lord, I think Uncle Renyuan's move is possible, but if it is carried out directly according to what Uncle Renyuan said, I'm afraid there will be a lot of resistance, and this matter still needs to be worked out slowly."

Song Lian has accepted the fact that Su Jing's imperial examination education system has now been recognized.

Now that you accept it, you have to think carefully about how to do this.

As Lao Zhu's courtier, Song Lian still knew something about it.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Okay, since Song Lian you have said so, then this matter will be left to you to preside over it. If you don't understand anything, you can ask Su Jing."

Lao Zhu didn't hesitate, and immediately finalized the matter.

Don't look at Lao Zhu's fondness for Su Jing's vision of a bright future, but he also knows that it is not easy to accomplish this.

The situation Song Lian mentioned is actually the arrogance in the bones of scholars, or it is to maintain their own status.

The sky is big and the earth is big, and reading is the biggest.

This is the thinking of many scholars, and it is by no means an easy task to change them.

Therefore, Lao Zhu directly asked Song Lian to preside over this matter, because the current Song Lian is the example of scholars in the world.

Even Song Lian himself has some resistance to this matter, but if he really wants to implement it, or start to implement it, it still depends on Song Lian.

Lao Zhu's wisdom is more than just knowing how to fight.

As the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, many people have a one-sided understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang, only remembering his victorious victories during the uprising and the killing of corrupt officials and loyal officials of the founding of the country after he became emperor.

In fact, Lao Zhu is also a first-class expert in politics.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement, Su Jing felt a little emotional in his heart, Lao Zhu is still Lao Zhu!
However, to Song Lian, this was tantamount to a thunderstorm on the ground.

The matter Su Jing proposed is still such a difficult matter, why did she let herself preside over it?
"My lord, I'm old, it's probably best for Ren Yuanbo to preside over this matter."

Song Lian immediately said to Zhu Yuanzhang that he really didn't want to take this matter.

It's just a thankless thing.

Even if he can succeed, he, an old man, can't see the day of success.

Now that his big status is high enough, he really can't do it.

"Song Lian, I'm leaving my words here. If you don't have anything to do with it, then go back to the palace and talk to His Majesty yourself."

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly, he still didn't forget to pretend his identity at this moment.

"Pfft!"

Su Jing almost couldn't laugh when she heard this.

Good guy, does Lao Zhu like being so aggressive?
He went back to the palace and told His Majesty, who didn't know that you were His Majesty Daming, and you were simply trying to dislike Song Lian.

Sure enough, Song Lian was stunned at the moment.

What does this mean?
Go back to the palace and tell His Majesty, why don't I tell you.

Song Lian's face immediately collapsed, it seems that there is no way to shirk this matter, he can only do it.

"Okay, Su Jing, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first, and I'll leave the rest to you."

After the matter was finalized, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't plan to stay any longer, so he was about to leave.

Whether it is internal affairs or foreign wars, these all need Zhu Yuanzhang to preside over them, and he has a lot of things to do.

Being able to come here today is entirely due to Su Jing's face.

"Okay, uncle, you go slowly, I won't see you off."

Su Jing is also very straightforward, you didn't come here as Zhu Yuanzhang, so I don't need to be good at etiquette.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face twitched slightly, and he wanted to leave, but Su Jing didn't even send him off.

This kid really doesn't take himself seriously!

Old Zhu wanted to get angry at first, but when he thought about the imperial examination education system that Su Jing just talked about, he suppressed his anger.

"Humph."

Lao Zhu flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

As for Zhu Biao and Song Lian, they both stayed in Niufu.

As soon as this old Zhu left, Song Lian breathed a sigh of relief.

He was not Su Jing, he couldn't maintain such a calm mind in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Lord Song, relax, he's gone, just do whatever you want."

Su Jing smiled at Song Lian, this old minister of Ming Dynasty, Su Jing thought it was quite interesting.

Although he and Liu Bowen are on the same page in literature, and even surpass Liu Bowen to some extent, but in other respects, they are still far from Liu Bowen.

"Uncle Ren Yuan, don't you know the identity of the master?"

Song Lian immediately asked Su Jing.

The interaction process between Lao Zhu and Su Jing just now made him tremble with fear.

Zhu Yuanzhang alas!

Oh, the founding emperor of Ming Dynasty!

Su Jing's attitude towards Zhu Yuanzhang was so casual that Song Lian couldn't believe it.

It's as simple as facing an elder, or the kind of elder who speaks casually.

Most importantly, Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude is quite easy-going.

This is very different from the Zhu Yuanzhang that Song Lian had seen in normal times.

So, as soon as Lao Zhu left, Song Lian couldn't wait to ask Su Jing if he knew Lao Zhu's real identity.

If you don't know this, Song Lian still understands a little bit.

"Huh? What does Mr. Song mean by this? What else can uncle have?"

Su Jing frowned slightly and looked at Song Lian, but didn't understand what Song Lian meant at first.

He really never thought that Song Lian would feel that he didn't know about Lao Zhu's identity.

How should I put it, Liu Bowen would not ask such a question.

"I see, Uncle Ren Yuan still needs to be more careful in the future."

Song Lian really thought that Su Jing didn't know, so he warned with some earnestness.

???

Su Jing was dumbfounded, what did Song Lian mean by this?
Song Lian continued: "Master is not an ordinary person, so you should respect what you say. Uncle Ren Yuan is young and promising, but he still needs to have a humble heart."

At this moment, Song Lian is like someone who has experienced it, earnestly giving Su Jing some teachings from his seniors.

Su Jing was completely stunned, and could not understand Song Lian's operation at all.

"Master Song, he knows about Master Su."

Zhu Biao at the side couldn't stand it any longer, so he took the initiative to speak.

"Ah? You know everything? Uncle Renyuan, do you know?"

Song Lian was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Su Jing in surprise and said.

At this moment, Su Jing finally understood, did Song Lian really think that he didn't know Lao Zhu's true identity?

"Master Song, you are also ordered by the Imperial Academy, who else can order you from the Ming Dynasty?"

Su Jing asked with a smile.

The Chengzhi of the Imperial Academy is a third-rank official. Although it is not up to the first and second ranks, but because of its special functions, it basically belongs to the department that can only be commanded by the emperor alone.

Even the princes, marquises, and prime ministers did not have much restraint on the Imperial Academy.

Such a simple truth, Su Jing really did not expect that Song Lian, an old pedant, would not be able to react.

"Uncle Renyuan, since you know, why do you still..."

Song Lian didn't care about his stupidity, he just wanted to know why Song Lian was so bold.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, there must not be many people who can talk to Zhu Yuanzhang like this.

There is no doubt about Su Jing's intelligence and talent, so he shouldn't be ignorant of the truth that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.

Su Jing looked at Song Lian and said with a smile: "Master Song, I naturally have my reasons, thank you for your reminder, but it's better for Mr. Song to worry about himself."

As Song Lian is a historical celebrity, Su Jing still has some memories of his deeds.

Not long after the founding of Daming, Song Lian was demoted because of losing the court in the third year of Hongwu.

After that, there were always ups and downs, until he retired and returned home, because his son was involved in the case of Hu Weiyong, which caused him to be almost slammed by Lao Zhu directly.

It all depended on Prince Zhu Biao and Empress Ma to protect them, but later died of illness on the way to Sichuan.

"Huh? Uncle Ren Yuan, what does this mean?"

Song Lian was a little surprised.

He is not clear about what Su Jing can predict.

Su Jing said indifferently: "Lord Song, has His Majesty asked you to continue the "Yuan History" recently?"

Last year, the "History of the Yuan Dynasty" was completed, and Song Lian became the Imperial Academy for this reason.

"Uncle Ren Yuan was well informed. The deeds of the Yuan Dynasty collected by Ouyang You and other Confucian scholars have returned to the court. Your Majesty ordered me to continue to compile the "Yuan History"."

Song Lian nodded.

Although this matter is not considered a confidential matter, Su Jing still surprised him when he knew it.

Su Jing continued: "That's right, when Mr. Song is done repairing, remember to remember the time of going to court, and don't miss it."

Su Jing felt it was necessary to remind Song Lian of this little matter.

How can I say that the current Song Lian is also the main force in promoting the imperial examination education system. It would be good for him to continue to be in the Imperial Academy's position, or even be promoted.

"The matter of going to court is like this every day. Uncle Ren Yuan's worries are a bit too much."

Song Lian didn't care.

Being in Daming, who doesn't know that Lao Zhu attaches great importance to punctuality.

Although the daily morning court is very hard work for many elderly officials, few people will be late.

At the same time, Lao Zhu also hated the fact that the officials under him took leave due to illness.

Because Lao Zhu believes that if a minor illness makes him unwilling to work, this is a sign of dereliction of duty, and working while sick is what normal officials should do.

Of course, he is also very strict with himself, which cannot be faulted.

Therefore, officials from top to bottom of the Ming Dynasty attach great importance to the affairs of the court, and losing the court is also a major event, and it will not happen easily.

Seeing Song Lian who didn't care, Su Jing had no choice but to give up.

Respecting the fate of others, it is enough for him to do so much.

On the other hand, Zhu Biao said to Song Lian, "Mr. Song, the students think it's better to be more careful."

Su Jing never said useless words, but he would never go wrong if he took warnings to heart. As the person who stayed with Su Jing for the longest time, Zhu Biao always kept it in mind.

"I see. I'll remember."

The prince Zhu Biao warned, but Song Lian finally took the matter to heart.

"By the way, Mr. Song, Uncle Chengyi told me earlier that you also want a pair of glasses, don't you?"

Su Jing asked Song Lian.

He has always kept the matter of wearing glasses in mind, and now that Song Lian has arrived, it is the best opportunity to get glasses.

Song Lian immediately said: "Yes, I'm old, and I can't see clearly when I read with glasses. I have been greedy for Bowen's eyes for a long time, and I have talked to him several times. I didn't expect that he had already told Uncle Renyuan. I know if Uncle Renyuan can make a pair for me conveniently, and I can buy it."

Glasses are really a magic tool for the elderly with poor eyesight.

This is especially true for Song Lian who loves reading.

"What Mr. Song said is just a pair of glasses. If Mr. Song really feels uncomfortable, why don't you write a few words and give it to me."

Su Jing smiled and said, to him, glasses are really not a valuable thing.

But Song Lian's characters, even now, when Song Lian was alive, are still treasures sought after by countless literati.

"Uncle Renyuan is being polite, how can I write a few words? Only by writing a line to Uncle Renyuan can I express my gratitude."

Song Lian agreed immediately.

According to his level, it is certainly impossible for this calligraphy to be copied, it must be created by himself.

Su Jing was very happy, he felt that he had made a lot of money.

And Song Lian was also very happy, he only needed to write a line on a fetish like glasses, which was too easy.

"Okay, let's talk about it then."

Su Jing nodded, and said to Zhu Biao: "Niu Yi, go find some glass, and then get two polishing devices, you know how to do it."

After all, this is not Su Jing's small courtyard in Lishui County, and there are no ready-made lenses.

Su Jing didn't want to go back to get it, it's better not to enter her own home, just do it in the Niu Mansion, anyway, it's something the prince Zhu Biao ordered.

"Yes, Master Su."

Zhu Biao nodded, and immediately went down to make arrangements.

Song Lian looked at Su Jing, and was startled by Su Jing's resolute speed: "Uncle Ren Yuan, there is no need to be so anxious. It is more important for us to deal with the matters arranged by His Majesty first."

What exactly is the imperial examination education system like, and how to start implementing it.

This is what Song Lian thinks is the most important thing at the moment.

"Master Song is wrong."

Su Jing directly retorted: "The most important thing now is your eyes. What next thing should you not use your eyes for? Making glasses for you is also to make the things arranged by His Majesty better."

Song Lian called His Majesty directly, but Su Jing didn't say anything, and there was no difference between leaking and not leaking anyway.

Listening to Su Jing's theory, Song Lian didn't know how to refute it for a while.

Does His Majesty also agree with such an idea?
The more Song Lian thought about it, the more he felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards Su Jing was really tolerant to the extreme.

"Master Song, if you have nothing to do, why don't you write for me first?"

Su Jing said with a smile.

Regarding the matter arranged by Lao Zhu, Su Jing was not in a hurry, even though he took the initiative to talk to Lao Zhu about it.

The reason is also very simple, there is no rush.

Worrying for a while will not have any impact on the process.

As for Lao Zhu's thoughts, Su Jing doesn't care too much now, so what if he accepts them all?

"Is this... okay?"

Song Lian's face twitched slightly, he was really guilty of Su Jing's operation.

If Zhu Yuanzhang knew that as soon as he left, Su Jing and himself were busy with their own affairs, then he wouldn't be angry.

Su Jing smiled and said: "It's okay, Mr. Song, don't worry, I will take care of anything."
