Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

"The students are here! See Your Majesty!"

Ye Qingyun quickly walked out from the crowd standing on both sides.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and was extremely surprised to see that he was so young.

"Who did you study under?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked softly.

"Your Majesty, I am studying at Minghuang Academy under the tutelage of Duke Han and Mr. Xizhi." Ye Qingyun said respectfully.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he suddenly felt enlightened.

No wonder, no wonder Ye Qingyun could write such a treasonous answer sheet at such a young age. He turned out to be the disciple of that bitch.

"Humph, Li Wei taught you this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a cold snort.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the teacher occasionally mentioned these things in casual chat during class. The students agreed very much and kept it in mind."

Ye Qingyun replied half-truthfully.

"Okay, I understand, please step back."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and said neither salty nor cold, neither praising nor criticizing.

Ye Qingyun couldn't help being slightly stunned, but he didn't dare to say anything. He quickly bowed and bowed and retreated among the scholars.

Zhu Yuanzhang put his answer sheet aside and began to review again.

But not long after, another answer caught his attention.

Although this answer sheet is not as bold as Ye Qingyun's, it also focuses on practical studies, especially arithmetic, physics and chemistry.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted softly when he saw this. No need to ask, this must also be that guy's disciple.

"Lucius!"

"The students are here!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted again, and Lu Xiu quickly walked out after hearing it.

"Are you also a student of Minghuang Academy?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him and asked.

Lu Xiu did not dare to hesitate, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and waved his hand lightly: "Step back."

Hearing him ask this question, Lu Xiu was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he could only respectfully claim that he had retreated among the scholars.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang shouted again: "Zheng Zhihua."

"The students are here!"

Zheng Zhihua also walked out quickly.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him: "You too?"

"Yes." Zheng Zhihua lowered his head and replied. Although His Majesty did not explain clearly, with the two classmates in front of him, he knew what His Majesty wanted to ask without guessing.

This time Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to say anything, and he waved his hand casually and asked him to retreat.

The ministers looked at each other in shock when they saw this, and all the scholars were also puzzled.

Zhu Yuanzhang's continuous inquiries were all students of Minghuang Academy. Although he did not express his attitude, Ye Qingyun, Lu Xiu and others still attracted everyone's attention.

After Zheng Zhihua, Zhu Yuanzhang called several more people, and without exception, they were all from Minghuang Academy and were disciples taught by Li Wei himself.

After reading the answer sheet, Zhu Yuanzhang knitted his brows together.

This is not because he is dissatisfied. The scholars who passed the examination this time are much better than the batch more than ten years ago. Even those weirdos from Minghuang Academy are better than before.

It's just that he is still not satisfied with the scholars other than those from Minghuang Academy. On the contrary, he was very moved by the views put forward by those from Minghuang Academy, especially Ye Qingyun, Li Wei's direct disciples.

But he vaguely noticed that these students seemed to have prepared for today's policy questions. The questions for the palace examination were decided by him. Even if Li Wei was very energetic now, it was impossible to know in advance. How could Ye Qingyun and others be confident? , apart from coincidence, there is only one possibility left, that is, Li Wei guessed his mind!
Thinking of this possibility, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and his eyes became sharp.

"Ye Qingyun, Lu Xiu, Zheng Zhihua."

Zhu Yuanzhang called several people's names again.

Ye Qingyun and the others were shocked, and they quickly stood up again and saluted in unison: "Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at them, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Let me ask another question. If your answer satisfies me, I will appoint you as the first one. If your answer is not good, huh, we will not take it lightly." "Rao!"

When the three of them heard this, they suddenly felt awe-inspiring and looked at each other secretly, all wondering why Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked them another question.

The ministers and other scholars were also surprised when they heard this.

"Yes, please indicate, Your Majesty."

Since Zhu Yuanzhang had already spoken, he could not allow them to refuse, so the three of them could only respectfully agree.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and asked: "Since ancient times, dynasties have only lasted for three to five hundred years. Even if they are as powerful as the Han Dynasty and as prosperous as the Tang Dynasty, they cannot escape their fate. Why is this?"

He had never asked this question before. In the past, he had always believed that the rise and fall of dynasties was inevitable, just like human life and death, so he had no intention of forcing it. Moreover, Li Wei also told him that the Ming Dynasty would fall in less than three hundred years. .

But today when I saw the strange ideas on the answer sheets of Ye Qingyun and others, I couldn't help but suddenly have an idea. Since even the miracle of time and space travel happened in front of him, what is impossible about making the Zhu Ming Dynasty last forever? ?

After Zhu Yuanzhang asked this question, the officials couldn't help but cast their eyes on the three Lu Xiu people in the center of the hall, and they couldn't help but feel a little gloating.

In fact, this kind of question is not difficult to answer. It is nothing more than the cycle of heaven, and what is long must be separated. However, His Majesty naturally knows this truth very well. If such an answer shows that His Majesty cannot be satisfied, it will be more troublesome.

The three of them thought for a long time before finally speaking back.

"Your Majesty, I think this is because of the weather." Lu Xiu was the first to speak tentatively, "Teacher once said that in addition to the changes in the four seasons, there is also the Little Ice Age that returns every hundreds of years. Every time during this period, the land of China will change. It became extremely cold, and the nomadic people in the north could no longer survive and had to attack the Central Plains with all their strength in order to migrate to the warmer south. Moreover, during this period, the Central Plains would also suffer constant disasters due to sudden changes in weather, causing people to be displaced. It is naturally difficult for the dynasty to maintain..."

From the perspective of Tiansuo, Lu Xiu explained in depth the turmoil in the world caused by the Little Ice Age, and also compared the weather in the Tang Dynasty recorded in history books with today to demonstrate his point of view.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes sparkled.

He originally asked this question to embarrass a few people and thwart Li Wei's plot, but Lu Xiu's answer surprised him!
However, as soon as Lu Xiu finished speaking, Zheng Zhihua beside him immediately put forward a different opinion: "I think the most important thing is the land issue. At the end of the dynasty, the land was occupied by the powerful gentry, and the people worked their whole lives but had no land. The teacher said , this is called the gap between the rich and the poor. The rich are extremely rich and the poor are extremely poor. Once there is a disaster, the extremely poor people cannot survive and can only become bandits. This is the main reason for the demise of the dynasty! "

As soon as Zheng Zhihua's words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more excited. The poor are extremely poor. He fully understands that if he had not really been unable to survive, he would not have been forced to join the army and finally ascend to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan! (End of chapter)
