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

"You are an upright person. I believe you can do your best and will not let us down."

Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "I can rest assured to hand over the fund to you! Grandpa Huang often said that only those who have truly experienced poverty are truly willing to serve the country and the people and help more poor people get out of poverty. Grandpa Huang was a monk and a beggar in the past. He experienced the chaotic times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. That was the time when the people in the world were the poorest, so..."

Having said that, he looked at Jian Jinzhong.

Jian Jinzhong certainly knew about Zhu Yuanzhang's various deeds, but when Zhu Xuan said this, there was a very special feeling.

He didn't want to interrupt, so he sat respectfully and listened quietly.

Zhu Xuan added: "The emperor was there when the results were announced that day. He saw you and thought you were a good person. He admired you very much. I also had a good impression of you, so work hard and don't let us down!"

After these words were spoken, Li Xu and others nearby were filled with envy.

It is basically certain that as long as Jian Jinzhong does not act recklessly in the future and is willing to be loyal, and only has the Ming Dynasty in his heart, it is not a dream for him to rise to prominence. Maybe the current top scholar will go even further in the future.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Highness!"

When Jian Jinzhong listened, his heart ached. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, tears filling his eyes.

He never dreamed that he would be valued so much. He had already decided that he had to repay Zhu Xuan and the Ming Dynasty no matter what.

When he heard Zhu Xuan's words, he did not feel any pride, let alone complacency. Instead, he was truly grateful, and repaying the Ming Dynasty became the most important thing in his life.

More important than life!
"I talked too much without realizing it."

Seeing Jian Jinzhong with tears in his eyes, Zhu Xuan waved his hand and said, "Get up and eat all the food you haven't finished yet. Daming finally has a few days of good life. We can't waste it so quickly!"

Sometimes it is very easy to guess the minds of ministers, especially those as upright as Jian Jinzhong.

As long as you appreciate him, he must reciprocate and treat you better.

Jian Jinzhong is exactly like this. Zhu Xuan is trying to use his own way of controlling his subordinates, and it seems to be quite effective. However, this method can only be used on people like Jian Jinzhong who have extremely high moral standards.

If the other party is not bound by morality, it is actually useless. There are many officials in the court and those scholars who have no morals. You have to know that everyone has his or her own ideas in his or her heart.

"My lord, take your orders!"

Jian Jinzhong even felt that Zhu Xuan would definitely be a good emperor in the future, a wise ruler rarely seen in a thousand years.

Being a good emperor does not necessarily mean being as good as the Qin Emperor or Han Emperor Wu. As long as he is willing to serve the people, he will definitely be a good emperor.

Jian Jinzhong finished his breakfast a little stiffly.

Zhu Xuan said, "You don't hold an official position yet, so I won't keep you here. Think about it carefully after you go back. By the way... you don't know much about many of our things. The essays you wrote for the exam were based on your own shallow knowledge. Otherwise, your name might have been among the top three."

Jian Jinzhong had not read the articles written by Zeng Qi and the other two, so he was not very clear about them.

But, in his opinion, they were definitely better and he was far inferior to them.

Hearing that Zhu Xuan valued him so much, Jian Jinzhong still had a feeling that it was not quite real. It was the first time he experienced this feeling of being valued, and he didn't know how to repay Zhu Xuan in the future.

"I have prepared for you a list of the various policies currently in the court, as well as some official documents on current affairs."

"Take it back and take a good look at it. Try to understand it as much as possible."

As Zhu Xuan was speaking, Hou Xian consciously handed over a dozen official documents to Jian Jinzhong.

Jian Jinzhong knelt down again, and said with tears of gratitude: "I was born in poverty, and I know nothing except reading, so my writing is not good. Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."

After kneeling, he took the official documents from Zhu Xuan.

"Okay, you go down!"

Zhu Xuan said again.

Jian Jinzhong thanked him and then left the side hall. When he walked outside, he still had a feeling that it was not quite real, like a dream, which made him marvel in his heart.

Always back to the residence.

"Why did Brother Jian come back just now?"

Xu Fan came again and said, "I heard that the person who entered the palace with you has already returned."

Jian Jinzhong held some official documents given to him by Zhu Xuan and said solemnly, "I was delayed by other things. Why hasn't Brother Xu gone back yet?"

Xu Fan smiled and said, "Brother Jian is still here, how can I go back? If I go home now, I will definitely be nagged by my parents. It's better for me to stay here and accompany Brother Jian for a while longer!"

His family is relatively well-off, so even if he stays here forever, he can afford it and has no financial difficulties.

"Brother Xu, don't just play and forget to study."

Jian Jinzhong did not tell anyone that Zhu Xuan had met with him alone. He was sincere in his love for his good friend and advised him, "Studying is the right path. The Ming Dynasty has been so good to us. We must repay the Ming Dynasty no matter what."

"I see!"

Xu Fan smiled and said, "I plan to move in here for a few days and let Brother Jian tutor me. I will then go home and invite a few great scholars. What do you think?"

Jian Jinzhong definitely agreed and nodded, "That's great. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

This is how the two good friends talked about reading.

-

After Zhu Xuan met the scholars who had passed the imperial examination, he began to discuss with the officials of the Ministry of Personnel how to arrange for them.

In the end, he simply handed it over to the Ministry of Personnel, but he reminded them to pay attention to arranging Jian Jinzhong to the Ministry of Revenue, and he also wanted Jian Jinzhong to help him manage the money.

After dealing with this matter briefly, Zhu Xuan went back to read the memorials, handle the remaining government affairs, and inquire about the results of the retrospective investigation.

"Return to your highness!"

"Through the line of the King of Chu, we have indeed made some discoveries."

"The King of Chu still has a lot of good relations with ministers in the court. They have all received benefits from the King of Chu to varying degrees, especially when the imperial examinations are approaching."

"Those ministers have also been involved in matters related to the imperial examination."

Jiang Li carefully told this royal secret.

No matter how you look at it, collusion between the princes and the ministers in the court is a capital crime.

What Prince Chu Zhu Zhen is doing now is becoming more and more outrageous and excessive. Even Jiang Lin, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, thinks that Zhu Zhen is too promiscuous and even wants to expose Zhu Zhen's affairs.

But Zhu Xuan refused to give it.

He didn't dare to do anything rash.

"The relationship between the ministers in the court and the vassal kings seems to be pretty good!"

Zhu Xuan frowned.

I was thinking that those officials must be replaced gradually at some point in time.

Before he became regent, officials must have been infiltrated by the princes, which was not a good thing.

You have to know that none of the people around you are your own, or in the end, they don't listen to you and betray you at any time. What should you do? (End of this chapter)
