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

Zhu Xuan walked outside, preparing to cross the long street outside the examination hall and return to the palace.

However, just as I walked past here, I saw an unexpected scene. Someone was making trouble here, and it was scholars. To be precise, they were not scholars from the Ming Dynasty, but a few Koreans.

"Give us an explanation."

"That's right! Scholars from Tibet, the Western Regions and other places can pass the imperial examinations. Why can't we Koreans?"

"We Koreans have been studying the Confucianism of the Ming Dynasty. We have learned more and better than them!"

"We are not convinced!"

……

Those Koreans who were causing trouble were shouting outside the examination room.

In front of them, there was a second list, which was prepared for them, the foreigners. Those who came to take the exam, as long as they did the questions seriously and really wanted to show themselves, could basically get their names on the list.

However, there are exceptions.

The Koreans were an exception. They were very perfunctory and wrote nonsense on the test paper. They were just there to kill time. Zhu Xuan looked at their papers and directly stated that he did not want the Koreans.

Now those Koreans still have the nerve to cause trouble here.

Zhu Xuan's face immediately turned gloomy.

Li Xu noticed the change in Zhu Xuan's expression, and then saw those officials who seemed unable to deal with the Koreans who were causing trouble. He wanted to show off and deal with those Koreans.

Zhu Xuan said: "Drive them away first. If you can't drive them away, let Jiang Li take them away."

"Yes!"

After hearing this, Li Xu waved his hand back.

The guards who had been following secretly immediately appeared, caught up with Li Xu, and surrounded the Koreans.

Li Xuliang showed his token and ordered the guards to capture all the Koreans and throw them outside the city of Jinling, so as to turn a blind eye to them. If they came to cause trouble again, they would really be sent to the imperial prison.

If you enter that place, you will be crippled if not dead.

"How are the other foreign candidates doing?"

Zhu Xuan did not greet the officials here and continued to walk back towards the palace, talking as he walked.

Lei Gang said, "They are relatively normal. They took the exam seriously. Unlike the Koreans, we can't find any problems with them. They are probably celebrating with a meal now."

For them, being able to serve as an official in the Ming Dynasty is a rare and great opportunity.

Now that they have passed the exam and are on the list, they know that this is a favor from the Ming Dynasty to them. I hope they can spread the goodness of the Ming Dynasty back home, but it is also worth celebrating.

After coming to the Ming Dynasty, they really didn't want to go back, and they were happy to help the Ming Dynasty and spread the good things about it.

"Just be normal. Among all the people, the only abnormal ones are the Koreans."

Zhu Xuan said.

Li Xu came back at this time and said: "The Koreans have always been arrogant. In fact, they are very inferior, but they have to show this inferiority as proud."

Zhu Xuan nodded slightly, and decided to ignore those Koreans and return to the palace first.

Anyway, the whole of Goryeo is not making any waves now.

After returning to the palace, Zhu Xuan thought about the imperial examination and it seemed that there was nothing else he could do. He put aside all his concerns for the time being and looked at the memorials that had been sent in recently to see if there was anything that needed to be dealt with.

"Your Highness."

"General Lan asks to see you."

Hou Xian came in and said.

"Sapphire?"

Zhu Xuan thought about how it had been a long time since he last met Lan Yu, and said, "Spread it!"

After waiting for a while, Lan Yu strode in, bowed before Zhu Xuan, and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Lan Yu. May you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."

Zhu Xuan looked down at Lan Yu. He hadn't seen him for a while. He found that he had more white hair and looked much older. Most of the old guys in Huaixi had died of old age by now.

Only Lan Yu was still alive. He looked healthy but also thin.

Zhu Xuan said loudly.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Lan Yu's edges and corners have only been smoothed out in recent years. Now he is very respectful in front of Zhu Xuan and no longer has the arrogance he used to have. After he finished speaking, he sat down on the stool stiffly.

"General Lan, are you here to see me about the military academy?"

Zhu Xuan asked first.

"Yes!"

Lan Yu nodded affirmatively and said, "The first batch of students are almost ready to go into actual combat on the battlefield. There are thirty-five of them in total. May I ask if they are ready, Your Highness?"

In fact, he is still eager to return to the battlefield, personally send the students he taught to the battlefield, fight fiercely with the enemy, and eliminate all the enemies on the grassland.

"Only thirty-five?"

Zhu Xuan felt that the number was too small. You know, there are many students in the military academy, but not many of them can go to the battlefield.

Lan Yu understood what Zhu Xuan meant and explained, "Your Highness, I teach officers, not soldiers. Ordinary soldiers will be taught by officers in the future. I am only responsible for teaching the officers well. We don't need a large number of people, but we need elites! Of these thirty-five people, I also plan to eliminate more than half."

That's true, and it makes sense.

The purpose of the Ming Dynasty’s military academies was indeed to train officers.

If they are just ordinary soldiers, it would be better to throw those students directly into the battlefield to fight. Once they are on the battlefield, they will be soldiers.

"General Lan is right. I think too much."

Zhu Xuan thought about it and asked again: "What did the general do with those who were eliminated?"

Lan Yu said: "If they are willing to serve in the army, I will arrange for them to serve as soldiers in the Five Military Commandery. Whether they can be promoted depends on their ability. If they are not willing to serve in the army, I will give them a severance pay and let them go home."

That's probably what we can do.

Zhu Xuan could understand that not everyone could be a general.

It is necessary to select the most suitable person through constant elimination. Now going to the battlefield is also a means of elimination.

"On the battlefield, the situation is unpredictable and there is a possibility of death in battle."

Lan Yu continued, "If those thirty-five men really died in battle, it means they were not suitable and not capable enough. I will also compensate their families."

There is life and death on the battlefield. Either the enemy dies or you die.

These are all normal.

Zhu Xuan said, "Regarding the matter of going to the battlefield, I need to ask Tie Xuan how the arrangements are going. General Lan, please wait for me for two more days. I will never break my promise."

"it is good!"

Lan Yu nodded affirmatively.

I definitely believe in Zhu Xuan, and I can believe in him unconditionally.

If it weren't for Zhu Xuan, he knew he would have died.

"Does General Lan have anything else to say about the military academy?"

Zhu Xuan asked.

Lan Yu shook his head slightly and said, "No, Your Highness has given me great support. Everything is going well in the military academy now, but I have a request."

Zhu Xuan said, "General Lan, please speak."

Lan Yu said: "I request that after the first batch of students are taken to the battlefield, I also want to go back to the battlefield. I have fought battles all my life, and suddenly there are no battles to fight. I am not used to it and I miss everything on the battlefield."

This request made Zhu Xuan silent for a long time, and he said lightly: "General Lan, you are old!"

He is indeed old, Lan Yu also knows that he is getting older and older. (End of this chapter)
