Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 305 Entian Banquet

Zhu Tuo burst out laughing immediately, hiding the long bow and arrows in his hands behind his back, and said at the same time: "Hey, Yang Rong, you actually passed No. 1 in the exam, very good, very good, it is indeed me. This apprentice. How about that Shi Jingtong? How is his grade?"

As he spoke, Zhu Tuo smiled at Shi Jingtong beside him.

Shi Jingtong hurriedly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "My disciple has lived up to everyone's expectations and won the first prize."

Zhu Tuo was startled and frowned: "Yang Rong is No. 2, and you are No. [-]. Aren't you No. [-]? What could No. [-] be? How dare you push you? I will shoot him to death right now, and then Give you a ranking!"

Chen An was startled and subconsciously stepped back.

"Why hide your head and show your tail? Chen An, you are the one who passed the second grade exam." Seeing Chen An hiding behind Yang Rong, Zhu Tuo couldn't help but cursed.

"My lord, do you still remember me?" Chen An poked his head out of the window with a smile on his face.

Zhu Tuo pulled him over and scolded: "You guy, I can recognize you even in disguise. Very good, when you humiliated me in public, I didn't care about you for your sake, but I didn't expect you to be ungrateful , took away the second position among my disciples.”

Chen An had a handsome face, but under Zhu Tuo's tug, he was trembling and looked pitiful.He smiled coquettishly, but he didn't expect that this Prince Su was actually a stingy man, and he still held a grudge after so long.

"My lord, this is not considered stealing. Of course, you have to rely on your own ability to take the imperial examination!"

Zhu Tuo pinched his neck, as if pinching a kitten.

"What should I do if you insult me? I want to settle the score with you! Insulting all the princes is a big mistake. I will ask my father for permission to deprive you of the opportunity to be on the list."

"I'm not humiliating you, I just want to remind you."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Advice?"

Chen An took a deep breath. As he held a high position, he naturally had to be a little more humble. He said loudly: "Your Majesty is naturally known as a virtuous monarch. But everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Even your Majesty, a vassal king, will inevitably make some mistakes. Subordinates What I just said was just to persuade you to be kind."

"Oh, I understand. According to you, even Mr. Kong makes mistakes sometimes?"

"Yes." Chen An's face sank and he said in a dull voice.

Zhu Tuo smiled and asked: "So, who is smarter, Mr. Kong or me?"

Chen An looked confused and didn't know what this question meant.

He looked at Zhu Tuo with a very complicated look. Mr. Kong is a sage of a generation, respected by all generations. Who do you think you are?As a vassal king, what qualifications do you have?
But Chen An was blocked by King Su's words. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, you are different from Confucius. Confucius was based on education and was the teacher of the world's students. But you, a prince, But I want to govern a territory for the Ming Dynasty, so that they can have food to eat and clothing to wear."

"I understand. What you said makes sense." Zhu Tuo nodded and asked strangely, "If I can't compare with Confucius, how can I compare with Yao and Shun?"

Chen An's face became increasingly ugly.

"Master, we are parading on the street, why don't you let Brother Chen go." Yang Rong stood up at this time to smooth things over.

"Okay." Langdon added with a smile.Zhu Tuo let go of Chen An, turned around, and yelled at Shi Jingtong: "You have embarrassed me, and you only got third place in the exam! Don't tell others, you are my apprentice!"

Shi Jingtong could no longer maintain his composure, lowered his head and said nothing.

"Hey, it's ashamed, ashamed that a well-learned man has such an unworthy apprentice like you!"

The scholars who came with him were all beaming with joy, but when they heard this, they all fell silent.

Nima, got a third-rate ranking, is it so embarrassing?
Are hundreds of them going to commit suicide by jumping into the river?
Shi Jingtong felt guilty and said: "The disciple failed to play his best role and made the teacher angry." "Humph, shameless!" Zhu Tuo yelled: "Especially in front of Chen An, it is even more embarrassing! From now on , you must work hard and be better than Chen An at all costs, you know?"

Shi Jingtong nodded and bowed: "Disciple understands."

"Okay, okay, you can parade on the street. I want to go out to fight, and I want to study. In short, you have to learn from me. You have to have lofty ambitions, have a burning heart, and serve the country and the people. People for the people!”

Yang Rong and Shi Jing walked out of the area and walked through the streets amidst the discussion of the people of Ming Dynasty.

"Brother Yang, Brother Shi, His Highness Prince Su doesn't seem to be an easy person to get along with. The two Highnesses serve him every day. I'm afraid they will have to suffer a lot." After Chen An walked out of Prince Su's Mansion, he was a little confused. He said to the two of them fearfully.

Yang Rong shook his head and said: "My master is simple in heart and thinks about the world wholeheartedly. You still don't understand. It is not easy to learn things in front of the master."

I'm so lucky. "

Chen An curled his lips and sighed: "Is this pure emotion? I was severely punished by Prince Su in front of the main hall before."

Shi Jingtong quickly defended Zhu Tuo: "This is my own business. I failed to fulfill the master's instructions, so it is natural for me to be reprimanded by the master. Moreover, not everyone can be reprimanded by the master."

Hearing this, Chen An was speechless.

If he was a person who traveled through time, he would definitely shake Shi Jingtong's arm vigorously and shout loudly: "Brother Shi, wake up, wake up, you've got CP!"

After the parade, there is a feast.

The Deer Ming Banquet is also called the Qionglin Banquet. To be more precise, it is the Enrong Banquet. After all, it was awarded by His Majesty, so it naturally means Enrong.

This time, the Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang held a banquet in the Ministry of Rites, with more than a hundred tables. Liu Sanwu, the great master, personally sat in the banquet. He first congratulated the newly promoted candidates, and then talked about the way of being an official, speaking clearly and eloquently.

Its main purpose is: as a minister, you are the head of the family. In future actions, you should put the country first, be loyal to the monarch, and not be greedy, not yellow, not drunk, and not drunk.

Be moral and stay away from vulgarity.

No.1 Yang Rong, No.2 Chen An, No.3 No.3, No.3 Tanhua Shi Jingtong, No.[-] one and three people.

There is one table for one person and one table for five people.

This "Enrong Banquet" can be described as a delicacy of mountains and seas, all cooked by the chefs in the palace. There are cattle, sheep, deer, dogs, chickens, ducks, fish, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables. There are a total of 30 Many copies, this is also an auspicious sign for "the emperor's 30th year of succession".

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already old, only came once, said some words of encouragement, and then returned to the palace in a carriage.

After Zhu Yuanzhang left, those candidates felt a lot more relaxed. After all, the Enrong Banquet was originally prepared for new candidates, so it was normal to have a feast.Those who held the ceremony together raised their glasses to toast Liu Sanwu and several other ministers.

After everyone toasted to each other, they started chatting in small groups.

As No. 1, Yang Rong naturally attracted much attention and was served a lot of fine wine.

The boy Chen An took the lead and led several Jiangnan scholars to surround Yang Rong, trying to give him wine in turn.

Yang Rong wanted to run away, but there were people around him, so he had to drag Shi Jingtong and ask him to get him some drinks.

Chen An had a sinister smile on his face: "Mr. Yang, you are No. 1 this year. I think you should drink more."
