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

"You guys, do you understand?"

Zhu Xuan's eyes swept over them.

"I understand, your Excellency."

they said in unison at the same time.

Those who can pass the imperial examination and stand in front of Zhu Xuan are all smart people. Of course they understand what Zhu Xuan means, unless they pass by cheating or are bookworms.

But there is no such person among them.

"It's best to understand."

Zhu Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, you guys go back first and wait for news. I will make arrangements with the Ministry of Personnel as soon as possible and won't keep you waiting too long."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

They spoke in unison again, their hearts full of anticipation for the future.

This is the dream of many of them, and they dream of reaching this point.

They were quickly taken away.

When they got outside the palace, they separated again. But when Jian Jinzhong was about to go back, a young eunuch came out and asked, "Excuse me, is this Jian Jinzhong?"

"Exactly!"

Jian Jinzhong was stunned, not quite understanding why this eunuch was looking for him.

However, in his upright heart, he did not have much good feelings towards eunuchs, believing that eunuchs were one of the causes of the decline of a dynasty, such as Zhao Gao, the eunuchs in the late Han Dynasty, Gao Lishi of the Tang Dynasty, and so on.

In Jian Jinzhong's eyes, these people are not good people.

It will only bring disaster to the dynasty and bring harm to the country and the people.

"His Highness wishes to see you."

The little eunuch said again.

Jian Jinzhong was shocked again when he heard that His Highness actually wanted to see him in private, and he quickly said, "Please lead the way, eunuch."

At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten his disgust for eunuchs.

The young eunuch took Jian Jinzhong and quickly returned to Jinshen Hall, but this time they did not meet in the main hall. Instead, they met in a side hall where Zhu Xuan was having breakfast.

There was a morning court today. Zhu Xuan usually had breakfast after the court, but he had just summoned them directly and had not eaten yet. The meeting in the side hall was not as formal as in the main hall, so he just ate casually.

"sit!"

Zhu Xuan saw Jian Jinzhong coming and asked, "Haven't you had breakfast yet?"

Jian Jinzhong nodded slightly and said, "Your Highness, not yet! I will prepare it and have breakfast when I get back."

"No need to bother."

"Hou Xian, ask the imperial kitchen to send one over."

Zhu Xuan made the arrangements directly without asking him what he wanted to eat.

Jian Jinzhong bowed and said, "No need, your servant..."

"okay!"

Zhu Xuan waved his hand and interrupted him, saying, "I've finally managed to treat you. If you refuse, it means you look down on me."

Jian Jinzhong quickly said: "I dare not!"

How dare I say that I look down on Zhu Xuan?
This is a very serious matter.

Breakfast was served to Jian Jinzhong quickly.

Breakfast is simple, just sweet potato porridge and two buns.

"We ate and talked at the same time."

Zhu Xuan added: "Perhaps you don't know, the reason why I allocated funds to support poorer scholars and support them in taking the exam is mainly because I heard what you said at the time, that to take the imperial examination, many people can only come to Jinling once in their lifetime, so I decided to give scholars all over the world a chance."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Jian Jinzhong didn't dare to sit down and had to stand up again to salute.

I didn't expect that the two casual words I said to Xu Fan would be taken so seriously by His Highness. I was so grateful, and at the same time, I was shouting in my heart that His Highness was a wise ruler.

A wise monarch is one who can listen to other people's opinions.

Zhu Xuan is just such a person. "No need to be polite, sit down!"

Zhu Xuan said again.

Jian Jinzhong's eyes were red with gratitude, and he said loudly: "On behalf of all the poor scholars in the world, I would like to thank Your Highness for his great grace!"

After saying this, he was willing to sit down.

The gratitude in my heart is beyond words.

Zhu Xuan sighed and said, "The Ming Dynasty is prosperous on the surface, as if it is a prosperous era, but secretly the poor people are still poor."

Jian Jinzhong said: "The Ming Dynasty under your Highness's rule is much better than previous dynasties. The people can have enough food to eat and live and work in peace. This is already a prosperous era. You have to know that in previous dynasties, countless people starved to death!"

Let alone the distant past, let’s just talk about the Yuan Dynasty.

Especially at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, many people starved to death. In comparison, the current Ming Dynasty is simply a paradise.

“Compared to before, this is not necessary.”

Zhu Xuan said: "We don't compare the bad, we only compare the good. For example, compared with the present, Ming Dynasty is not that good."

Jian Jinzhong didn't dare to take up this topic.

Whether the Ming Dynasty is good or not is not something he can say casually. In his opinion, the Ming Dynasty is really good. No matter when compared with it, it is the best.

Zhu Xuan added: "If the Ming Dynasty wants to become better, it still needs your assistance."

Jian Jinzhong put down the spoon in his hand and said solemnly: "I will do my best to assist Your Highness in governing the Ming Dynasty. I will do my best and die for it!"

Bow down and die.

This was not the first time he said this, but it was the first time he formally said it in front of Zhu Xuan, showing his determination.

"I believe you."

Zhu Xuan then said, "Do you know why I left you alone?"

Jian Jinzhong really didn't know, so he bowed and asked, "Excuse me, Your Highness, why?"

"I want to put the special fund under your charge."

Zhu Xuan said again.

"minister?"

Jian Jinzhong was stunned.

It seems like I have done nothing. I just passed the imperial examination and don’t even have an official position yet. His Highness has given me this important task. I am a little overwhelmed. Is this true?

You have to know that special funds involve money.

Once it involves money, problems can easily arise. Any improper calculations can lead to problems, loopholes, and even corruption.

Therefore, money is difficult to manage, it just looks good.

It shouldn't be the turn of him, who has just entered the officialdom, to be in charge.

However, Zhu Xuan didn't care about so many things and just did what he wanted to do. He felt that Jian Jinzhong was a very upright, sincere and honest person, so he could arrange for him to give it a try.

"I will let you work in the Ministry of Revenue."

Zhu Xuan added: "You are an upright person, and you have experienced poverty. I think it is appropriate to distribute the money to you. It can also be regarded as a test of your ability. If you are willing to agree, it will be arranged like this! Then, those poor scholars, whose lives are controlled by you, how do you do it to be fair, do you understand?"

"minister……"

Jian Jinzhong was not used to being entrusted with such an important task, but after thinking for a while, he said affirmatively: "I think it is no problem and I am fully capable of doing it."

Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "I thought you didn't dare to take it."

Jian Jinzhong bowed and said, "My only wish as an official is to repay Your Highness. No matter what you ask me to do, as long as it is right and done correctly, I will dare to do it."

If it's the right thing to do.

There is no such thing as not daring.

"it is good!"

Zhu Xuan nodded slightly and said, "I'll leave this matter to you."

Jian Jinzhong stood up again, bowed and said: "I will definitely not let Your Highness down, and I will do my best to repay Your Highness!" (End of this chapter)
