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

Chapter 57 I want to enter the Imperial College. What does this mean?
"With my father's words, even if I suffer a little more, it's worth it, as long as I don't blame me."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not reprimand Zhu Tuo in court, but planned to go back to Yushu Mansion to teach him a lesson. However, seeing Zhu Tuo looking so embarrassed, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what to say.

"Father, I have completed my report. When can I return to Lingnan?" Zhu Tuo said cautiously as he watched Zhu Yuanzhang calm down.

"Lingnan side, you don't want to go back for the time being."

"Huh? Not leaving?"

Zhu Tuo was stunned.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Tuo and said slowly: "I want to send you to the Imperial College. The Imperial College is full of celebrities. You can learn a lot of skills in governing the country and bringing peace to the country. When you have enough ability, you can return to the Imperial College." Go to Lingnan."

"Ah? Lu Xiaofeng said: "Imperial College?

School?

Zhu Tuo was dominated by the fear of his previous life and immediately declined: "Father, my child is well-read and knows astronomy and geography. Even if Fang Xiaoru sees me, he will cover his face and run away. In my opinion, this There is really no one in this world who can be my master.”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled coldly, and then said: "Didn't you say that Jiangnan is poor, and the capital is rich, but now you are asked to live in the capital, but you refuse?"

"This one……"

Zhu Tuo thought for a while and said righteously: "As the king of a country, I have the heart to protect my homeland, how can I do it for my own selfish desires? Our Lingnan is the barrier of the Ming Dynasty, so I also want to return to Lingnan to heal the people of the world. , In this way, I also lived up to my father’s expectations.”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled coldly, looked at Zhu Tuo again, and suddenly asked seriously: "Tuo'er, how does Lingnan compare with the Ming Dynasty?"

"Of course the Ming Dynasty has many people, soldiers and officials."

“You are right, just because you can manage a piece of land is not the same as managing a piece of land.

nation.I used to be just a person from Huaiyou, and I only knew a few hundred people, but now?I can guess their thoughts from those notes.

"You can look down on these great scholars, but you have to study. If you don't study, they will deceive you and please you. You have to understand that governing a country is like a cow. You have to feed the cow and give it to the cow. Eat, do you understand?"

Zhu Tuo said proudly: "I used to be in the pig pen. If anyone dared to disobey, I would kill him and make his life worse than death!"

"Haha!" Chen Xiaobei grinned.

Zhu Yuanzhang burst into laughter and said slowly: "Don't do this. Once you learn the art of governing the country from these great Confucian scholars, I will let you go to Lingnan."

Zhu Tuo suddenly panicked: "Father, everyone in Lingnan depends on me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted: "I don't know what you are thinking about, but you just want to go back to Lingnan to become the king and hegemon. Let me tell you, I haven't settled this account with you yet. Everything you did in Lingnan, I don't know. Remember it clearly."

"What did I do?" Zhu Tuo couldn't help but asked in a low voice.

"What's wrong?"

Zhu Yuanzhang jumped up and shouted: "You are secretly digging ore in Lingnan, privately minting private salt, selling private salt, and you have thousands of soldiers. What are you going to do? Is this a rebellion? Just this matter alone, Your head will be cut off!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was angry, "I only have three ways to go now. One way is to depose you in Lingnan and demote you from King Su to a commoner. You can go anywhere. Even if you get to Ryukyu Island, I will not care about you anymore, let alone Lingnan." !"

Zhu Tuo said repeatedly: "I choose two!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "Second, you deliberately rebelled and will be killed without mercy."

"I chose three!"

"The last condition is that you honestly let me enter the Imperial Academy. When you have the ability to govern the country, you can return to Lingnan!"

Zhu Tuo's expression changed, and seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's angry look, he had no choice but to reply: "Yes, father."

After Zhu Tuo left, Xu Da had one more thing to report.Zhu Yuanzhang exhaled a long breath and told Xu Da Ting about his conversation with Zhu Tuo.

He couldn't help but ask: "Xu Aiqing, are you easy to manage that brat Zhu Tuo? The Imperial College is the first academy of the Ming Dynasty. Other princes naturally cheered when they had the possibility of further education, but what happened to this guy? What? It's like being sent to the gallows."

Xu Da smiled slightly and said, "Maybe Prince Su is really well-read."

"It's cunning cunning that doesn't understand anything!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he cursed: "Have I worked for him for so long? Let him go to the Imperial College first, and then let Tang He's daughter marry him. If he is smarter, he can go to the Imperial College to recruit talents, and with the help of Tang He, It can also make those generals surrender."

"What about the little guy? Who knows if he will secretly call me a fool!"

"Your Highness, please be patient."

Xu Da advised: "Prince Su is still young and will understand one day."

"What a fool!"

Zhu Tuo came to the inn angrily while cursing.

When he opened the door, he saw Lu Qing. His hair was tied with a piece of white cloth, his face was solemn, and in front of him was a long knife that exuded a cold feeling.

Lu Qing raised his head, his eyes were red, and he saw Zhu Tuo at a glance.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

"how could be?"

Zhu Tuo looked at Lu Qing and asked suspiciously: "Lu Qing, why are you dressed like this? Are you going to pay homage to your king? Or are you planning to use this sword to kill directly into the palace?"

Lu Qing didn't pay attention to Zhu Tuo's ridicule, but walked quickly to Zhu Tuo and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, haven't you been executed by the court? Why should you be released?"

"That's nonsense. I'm not plotting rebellion. Why do you want to kill me?"

Zhu Tuo showed a proud look on his face, "My father praised me personally in court, saying that I was a wise king who was not seen in a century. Regarding Fang Xiaoru's question, I knocked him down in just a few words."

Hearing these familiar words, Lu Qing felt happy: "Your Majesty is quite smart."

"After the imperial court was dismissed, my father asked me to enter the Imperial College. He said that without me, Zhu Tuo, the Imperial College would be like a dark prison. I would be in charge of the bad nerds in the Imperial College."

"I'm still hesitating. My father said so many nice things to me, and he's still begging me. I see that you're too old to argue with him, so I reluctantly agreed."

"Imperial Imperial College?"

"That's right, Imperial College."

Lu Qing said suspiciously: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Academy is the first academy of the Ming Dynasty. Only Jinshi and Gongshi are eligible to enter. They are so knowledgeable, why should you be allowed to enter? If you enter the Imperial Academy, wouldn't it be a little weird? good?"

Zhu Tuo shook his head: "I don't know why. I want to go back to Lingnan, but my father refuses to let me go to the Imperial College to teach those corrupt officials a lesson."

"Your Majesty, you should be educated."

"That's nonsense. There's no one in this world who can teach me!"

Lu Qing was filled with joy when he saw that Zhu Tuo was safe and sound, but while he was ecstatic, he found that he had forgotten one thing, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not recall it.

No matter what, no matter what, as long as the king is still there.

In the next few days, Zhu Tuo, under Zhu Yuanzhang's instruction, made some changes, and then went to see Song Ne, the priest of the Imperial College.
