Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

"Grandpa, there are so many people!"

Wen Gui saw those scholars and stood on tiptoe to see what was inside.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked a guard to pick up Wen Gui so that he could see what was inside, and then he said, "Indeed, many people, scholars all over the world, hope to change their fate here."

“Why would they want to change their fate?”

Wengui asked without really understanding.

"Because of fame and profit."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "Wengui doesn't understand that much now, but it doesn't matter. He will understand it in the future. When he grows up, he will understand much more than your father."

Wen Gui nodded affirmatively: "Yes, my grandson is better than my father."

Hearing the brat say this, Zhu Xuan also laughed.

"Grandpa Emperor, there are too many people here, how about we go somewhere else to rest?"

Zhu Xuan said worriedly, "With so many people, it's easy for chaos to happen. If something unexpected happens again, it will be bad for Grandpa Huang."

"also!"

It would have been quite dangerous if Zhu Yuanzhang had not insisted on blending in with the crowd. If there were members of the White Lotus Sect among them, it would have had a great impact on them.

Especially since his little great-grandson was also brought out, there were many things that needed to be paid attention to.

"To the inn next door."

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Even the inns are packed with people now.

Whether they were scholars or not, they all wanted to join in the fun and gathered here to wait for the final result. Some businessmen were also preparing to find a son-in-law from the list. This shows how important the imperial examination was in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang and his companions wanted to go to the inn, so they could only find an ordinary inn that was far away. So they went to the second floor, found a seat on the roadside, and looked in the direction of the list.

There aren't many people here, and it's not as lively as inside.

There are still a lot of empty positions.

"Grandpa, this is it, sit down first."

Zhu Xuan helped Old Zhu sit on the chair and said, "You have been walking since you came out of the palace and standing for so long. You must be tired."

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but admit that he was old. He sat down and gently pounded his thigh, saying, "I am really tired. After a while, I may not even be able to come out."

Zhu Xuan said, "Grandpa, please don't farm anymore. I really don't want to waste the cultivated land. Let Yunqi find someone to farm."

"I can grow it myself."

Yun Qi immediately lowered his head and said with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "This old man Yunqi knows nothing about farming. It's better for us to do it! We can't go out for a long time, but farming is no problem."

Zhu Xuan: "..."

I knew that I couldn’t convince Lao Zhu to stop farming.

Agriculture is the foundation of the country. It is basically impossible to ask Zhu Yuanzhang to give up farming. Fortunately, there are many people in the palace who are watching Zhu Yuanzhang, so nothing should happen.

Wen Gui said, "Grandpa, I can help you too."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Wengui is still the best. We'll talk about it later. I'll teach you how to farm..."

Before he finished speaking, a voice came from outside: "The results are out... The results are out..."

The shouting sounds instantly filled the street.

Then, others joined in and shouted that the results were announced.

Countless scholars gathered there, waiting for the results to be announced. "I passed, I'm on the list!"

“I’m on the list too!”

"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor!"

……

After a while, shouts filled the street again.

Those scholars who saw their names on the list were all shouting with excitement and cheering. Having their names on the list basically meant entering the emperor's palace at night.

This is the highest honor for scholars.

“Those readers are crazy!”

Zhu Xuan was looking at the long street outside, and the other guests in the inn were also looking at the long street.

You can feel the madness coming from the scholars.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "We often say that scholars are plagued by evil, and that there are not many good people among officials, but our Ming Dynasty still has to rely on those scholars who are officials to govern. There are good and bad officials, and there are good and bad scholars."

Zhu Xuan nodded and said, "Grandson understands!"

"Of course you understand!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "You treat those officials much better than I do! You are kindhearted. If it were me, I would have killed many people just for the cheating case, but now I have only killed some of the officials who were actually involved in the case."

The result of this case has come out, and someone has sent it to Lao Zhu to read.

Zhu Yuanzhang would certainly not be happy about killing only these few people, and felt that the killing should continue. However, Zhu Xuan thought that enough was enough, and only the officials who were truly involved in the case should be killed, and those who were implicated without knowing the truth could be spared.

Zhu Xuan said: "My grandson just thinks that ignorance is not a crime. Since they don't know, they can be let off. The White Lotus Sect is hateful, but they can't completely infiltrate us."

The blame for cheating continues to be put on the White Lotus Sect.

Recently, the Jinyiwei has also been looking for the White Lotus Sect, but they couldn't find Zhong Shaoyuan, the widow and others. This is also because Zhu Xuan deliberately let them go and let them continue to hunt.

In addition, Zhong Shaoyuan and others did not show any abnormalities for the time being, which meant that they had not been alarmed yet.

This made Zhu Xuan breathe a sigh of relief, as he was afraid that the fishing plan would be ruined. Fortunately, nothing happened.

"Readers are actually quite good."

Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "Grandpa Emperor has experienced turbulent times and has risen from the bottom of society. He has seen many evil deeds of officials, so he has such a big opinion of them."

"Yes!"

This sentence made Zhu Yuanzhang recall the past and sighed: "I not only crawled out of a pile of beggars, but also crawled out of a pile of dead bodies, haha... I won't talk about the past, for fear of scaring our Wen Gui."

Wen Gui heard this and shook his head, saying, "Grandpa, I'm not afraid at all!"

This little brat is becoming more and more well-behaved and sensible.

It's very likable.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "Speaking of those scholars, they are indeed very important in governing the country, but they must not be allowed to grow. In the early days of a dynasty, the voices of the military men in the court were still very high, but in the later days, when there were fewer wars to fight, the scholars would take the lead and even hold the entire court hostage."

He spoke these words in a very serious tone.

This was also the first time I brought up this topic with Zhu Xuan.

As a time traveler, Zhu Xuan certainly understood all of this and nodded solemnly.

"Also, the cabinet proposed by my dear grandson."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and said, "The existence of the cabinet is indeed good and saves time and effort, but the disadvantages of the cabinet are also obvious. If an emperor relies too much on the cabinet, then the ministers of the cabinet will become prime ministers, and the power of the cabinet will even exceed the imperial power."

The cabinet has both advantages and disadvantages. Zhu Yuanzhang knew the advantages and disadvantages a long time ago, but he still adopted it. It was really tiring for the emperor to handle all the memorials alone! (End of this chapter)
