The Ming Dynasty started with saving the eldest grandson

Chapter 15: Grandson’s Accompanying Reading
Official title?Chen Jingke had already guessed that this would happen, so he was not surprised.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. It's just that ordinary people are young and ignorant and may not be able to take on this important task, and it will also cause criticism from others."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Your worries are unnecessary. Throughout the ages, prodigies have been considered auspicious, and it is not uncommon to appoint prodigies as officials."

"Although we don't believe in such auspicious words, we don't mind using prodigies."

"You don't need to worry about the officials. They want to see the child prodigy become an official in the court more than we do."

Chen Jingke was very surprised. Is there such a thing?

But if you think about it carefully, you can understand what those people are thinking. It is nothing more than the words "innate imperial power".

The emperor wants to use "God's will" to increase his imperial power. When officials uphold "God's will", they are safeguarding the legal system on which they live.

Why not give a few prodigies a temporary job and get benefits at no cost?

Zhu Yuanzhang disdained to decorate himself with magical powers, but the civil servants were very happy.

Thinking of this, he felt a little helpless. The reason he finally found couldn't be used.

He could only bite the bullet and said: "The imperial doctors are all excellent doctors. How can I dare to compare with them? I just want to be a student in Tai Hospital."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "You don't want to become an official in the court?"

Chen Jingke quickly explained: "It's not that I don't want to be an official, but I really don't want to be a leader."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly:

"You dare to expose the emperor's list. We thought you were a bold person, but we didn't expect you to be so cautious."

"You have said so. If we insist on granting you an official title, it will appear that we are unreasonable."

Chen Jingke kept laughing, but he was relieved when he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry.

History books say that Zhu Yuanzhang was sometimes stingy and would beat and kill those who refused to serve in official positions.

There are also objections, thinking that he killed people who were dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty, or resigned from office in the name of seclusion, and then wandered around.

He will not force those who truly want to live in seclusion.

Chen Jingke doesn't know which of the two views is right, but judging from his personal experience, the latter is more reasonable.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered: "But if you want to walk in the palace, you must have a suitable identity. Let's think about any suitable position."

Taiyuan Hospital also has rules. Only those who have obtained the qualification of imperial doctors can practice medicine independently.

Below him are the officials, who can only serve as assistants to the imperial doctors.

The next ones are students, who are not even qualified to be assistants, and usually just study and do odd jobs.

If Chen Jingke wants to walk in the palace, he must at least be an imperial doctor.

He didn't want to be a royal doctor, so he could only think about his personal identity.

But there are so many carrots and pitfalls in the palace, and no one can think of a suitable one at the moment. You can't give him the status of a guard of the Forbidden Army, right?

Even if Chen Jingke does not become an imperial doctor in the future, he will definitely take the path of a civil servant, and he will never be a guard.

Zhu Yuanzhang still made a clear distinction between civil and military families.

Just when he had a headache, Ma Xiuying said:
"It's better to let him be Ying'er's companion. With him here, we don't have to worry about what happened today happening again."

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh and said, "Girl, you are smart, why didn't we think of it?"

Zhu Xiongying also said happily: "Okay, okay, with Dr. Chen here, I will no longer be afraid of getting sick in the future."

Seeing that his grandson supported this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this was a good idea: "Then it's decided. Chen Jingke, don't let us live up to our expectations."

The emperor's grandson's companion, a sure-fire future star, a position that no one can grab even if they break their heads.

Unexpectedly, such a pie would fall on his head, and Chen Jingke was very happy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The common people will live up to the emperor's kindness."

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be talking about sex and said to Queen Ma:

"When our good grandson recovers, we will let him study in the palace... Well, we will reopen the main hall and train our good grandson well."

The main hall was opened in the first year of Hongwu's reign as a place to teach Prince Zhu Biao, and also had a number of princes, distinguished disciples, and outstanding folk as his companions.

Later, Zhu Biao opened his own mansion, and the main hall was closed.

The significance of opening the main hall for Zhu Xiongying is too great.

Ma Xiuying was more direct, "Ying'er is the heir to the throne. I think you should find a time to announce it directly, so that no one gets careful." Chen Jingke's hair stood up when he heard this. My dear mother, this is what I can say. Did you listen?
He lowered his head, wishing that he was deaf and the servants around him were more frightened than him.

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have thought of something, and his face was a little ugly: "Sister, you have thought of it with us again. We will announce this matter to you tomorrow morning."

The couple also knew that some things should not be said in front of outsiders. They only said a few words and then turned to discuss who would be Zhu Xiongying's teacher.

Chen Jingke secretly murmured in his heart that he would not bring Jianwen and the other idiots here.

But at this point in time, those three people should not have made a fortune yet.

But judging by their age, in the next few years, they should be able to stand out in the imperial examinations, and everyone will meet them sooner or later.

I really need to get to know these three people by then.

If you don't get to know the three big guys who can destroy Zhu Yunwen's great empire, it would be like traveling through time in vain.

Speaking of Jianwen's three idiots, Chen Jingke believes that they should be treated differently.

Fang Xiaoru still has merit. He is really loyal to the country and really talented. It is a pity that he is too naive politically.

Zhu Yuanzhang's evaluation of him was: This Zhuangshi should be as talented as he is old.

Translated: This is a talent that needs to be polished before it can be used.

It's a pity that Zhu Yunwen only remembered the first half of the sentence and completely forgot the second half.

Although Qitai is also politically naive, he is also very capable and very serious about his work.

No matter what position he holds, he has a detailed understanding of the things he is responsible for.

As a minister of the Ministry of War, he could accurately tell the location of a certain general, how many soldiers he had under his command, how much food he received, etc.

There has never been a flaw in managing the logistics of the armies.

When Zhu Yunwen cut down the vassal vassal, he believed that only Zhu Di had the ability to rebel among the vassal kings, and he should be controlled first.

However, Zhu Yunwen didn't listen at all and insisted on starting with the weaker vassal kings.

The most incompetent person is Huang Zicheng. To say that he is Zhao Kuo is an insult to Zhao Kuo.

Although he wrote a thousand words, he had no plan in mind. This is his true portrayal.

It was he who suggested that the weakening of the vassal should start with the weak vassal king, which gave Zhu Di a chance to prepare.

Then he successfully wiped out all nine of his clans.

Just when he was thinking wildly, Zhu Xiongying came over and whispered:
"Mr. Chen, are you worried that if you study literature, you won't be able to concentrate on studying medicine?"

Chen Jingke was a little surprised. Why did this child suddenly say such a thing?

But after being reminded, he realized that the two were indeed in conflict.

The royal entrance is very strict and there are a lot of homework assigned. I am afraid that I will not have time to study medical skills.

So he took advantage of the situation and said: "Great Sun Yingming, I am indeed worried about this matter."

Zhu Yuanzhang also heard their conversation and laughed: "Haha, our good grandson is so considerate. I didn't think of this."

"Don't worry, you are just a name for being my companion. I will explain to my husband not to interfere with your studies."

The last sentence was said to Chen Jingke.

Chen Jingke said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Grandson."

Ma Xiuying said from the side: "But reading can make people understand. It's better to read more books when you have free time."

"Yes, I see."

After chatting for a few more words, Chen Jingke looked at the sky and asked to go home.

This trip came in a hurry, and I didn't bring many things with me, and it was such a big thing that I needed to tell my parents.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately gave him three days' leave.

If Zhu Xiongying wants to officially move into the palace, he needs to arrange a formal accommodation place, and the reopening of the main hall also needs time to prepare.

The preparations can be completed in almost three days, and Chen Jingke just came to work.

After receiving permission, Chen Jingke left the palace and returned home.

At about the same time, Mao Xiang personally led the Jin Yiwei to surround the residence of Zhao Mao, the Minister of Rites, and took Zhao Mao and his son away.
