Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 117 117 Say something you can say

It rained all night.

It was still dripping until the next day.

After breakfast today, Divine Doctor Wang was not in a hurry to go out.

He asked his second son to go to the study to talk.

When he was waiting for him to come back last night, Wang Buli was also asleep.

Wang Buli woke up early and looked at the continuous rain through the window sill.

Without a mobile phone or other means of playing time, it does feel like time passes extremely slowly.

The two little local dogs were so amused by him that they lost their energy.

After Wang Buli closed the door, Doctor Wang got straight to the point:

"Son, I don't think it's a good time to be an official right now."

Hearing this, Wang Buli was very surprised.

He didn't expect that his father's sense of smell was so sensitive.

"Indeed." Wang Buli nodded and whispered:

“The Huaixi Party members in the court excluded non-Huaixi Party members very hard.

In my opinion, even though His Majesty is from Huaixi, he is the emperor of the people of the world, not the emperor of Huaixi. I am afraid that there will be a great purge in the future. "

Dr. Wang is very satisfied that his son has a clear understanding.

Unlike the boss, who has lost his mind when studying.

"That's why my young master praised your future yesterday. I felt very worried. Seeing that you can still sleep peacefully, I felt a little relieved."

If Wang Buli was too excited to sleep, that would make his old father extremely worried.

Doctor Wang stroked his beard and let out a long sigh:

"I am just a country doctor. I am lucky enough to support a large family with my meager skills. I am extremely lucky, thanks to the emperor.

Now you two brothers are older and have your own careers to run.

Boss, I will be grateful to God if he can pass the examination in the future.

The third child will inherit my mantle in the future. If Xingying finds a good family to marry, I have nothing to worry about.

As for you, Bu Li, I am very worried. "

"Dad, why are you worried about me?" Wang Buli felt very strange.

"Although you, kid, are trying your best to show that you are an ordinary person, your own abilities are as bright as an awl coming out of your pocket.

Maybe you think this is nothing, but in front of a group of people, you are a fool, attracting countless people to get closer to you. "

Divine Doctor Wang sighed: "Actually, I only hope that my child will be foolish and careless, and that he will be able to live in the palace without any disaster. Unfortunately, how can everything be fulfilled in this world? I want it all at the same time."

Wang Buli smiled silently.

At present, he himself finds that the development of things is somewhat inconsistent with his original intention.

When he thought of this, Wang Buli nodded slightly:

"Dad is right, I'm not exaggerating. Your son can show that they are stupid just by standing next to others.

I usually only spend 30% of my attention on dealing with them, and the remaining 70% are spent hiding myself. "

"Hahaha."

Doctor Wang laughed a few times, then pointed at his son and said:

"I knew you were hiding your clumsiness all the time."

The father and son laughed at each other for a while.

"By the way, if you enter officialdom in the future, you can't just focus on it." Doctor Wang still sighed worriedly:

"Your eldest brother thinks that you have caught the prince's eye and your future is locked.

But I think now that the emperor is in his prime, how many years will it take for the prince to ascend the throne?

There are too many variables during this period.

Although I have never entered official circles, I have seen many things in my life.

It is easy to die if you don't take sides in the officialdom.

But it’s easier to die if you stand in line! "

Wang Buli nodded at these words.

As an official in the Hongwu Dynasty, even if you act carefully, you may be implicated.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor's approach, has nothing to draw reference from the previous founding emperors.

Even Liu Bang killed mostly kings with different surnames instead of his old brothers.

Even Lu Wan, a young boy, defected to the Huns, and Liu Bang didn't even say he wanted to kill him.

"So dad is very worried about you falling into the prince's eyes." Doctor Wang came over and patted Wang Buli on the shoulder:

"Son, your father and I are just a doctor, not a good father like others.

I can't help you in the officialdom. You have to walk your own path in the future. It's too difficult.

The most ancient family is a ruthless emperor's family. You don't want to be the loyal dog of the emperor or the prince.

Lest they abandon you and call you stupid. "

"Hahaha."

Wang Buli smiled and winked at his old father.

Is your son the kind of foolish and loyal person?

When in danger, I can run faster than the emperor.

There is no such thing as a fucking rescue, physically blocking Lao Zhu's knife.

"Okay, no need to say more."

When Doctor Wang saw his son's reply, most of his worries were relieved:

"Okay, okay, don't be too honest in the officialdom. If you need to be hypocritical, just be hypocritical. The world does not need all the truth to be made public.

I'm afraid that someone will use you to find out something that shouldn't be found out, and maybe you'll get involved in a party dispute. "

The son's ability was confirmed.

From now on, those in power will consider how to better utilize him to do things for themselves.

The emperor's stuff is true. I would rather teach me to betray the world than teach the world to betray my existence.

In his mind, everyone must be careful to serve him as the emperor, the most noble person in the world.

That is to say, when the dynasty is first established, the soldiers below are brave, otherwise they will be forced to rebel, and they will have to give him a hammer even if they fight to the death.

You're the most noble person in the world, I'll fuck you.

"I am extremely careful about this kind of thing. Otherwise, if Liu Yushi is dead, how can I pretend to be sick and not check it out."

"Hahaha."

Doctor Wang laughed again.

I don’t know how to persuade my son’s innocence.

When you really get to that point, I'm afraid you won't be able to help yourself!

Liu Yushi died inexplicably, and the case was closed inexplicably. It is inevitable that there will be no forces competing with each other later.

"Dad, you don't need to worry too much." Wang Buli whispered:

"Actually, if you think about it from another direction, even if I crack the counterfeit banknote case, it won't make a big improvement.

After all, I am a civil servant. It doesn't take much time to change from a scribe to a civil servant. The Ministry of Civil Affairs will also advise the emperor to think twice. Some people may not want me to take the position.

No matter what happens, if I have to be promoted to a high-ranking official, then I will make some mistakes on purpose, and then please continue to hone myself at the grassroots level. "

"You must not do it so deliberately that people will see that the emperor is not easy to coax."

Doctor Wang felt that something was wrong again:

"No, it's best not to do this. Today, hundreds of people were killed because of the empty seal case, just because the officials below ganged up to deceive him.

There were a lot of people being killed at Caishikou, but you didn't look at it. "

"No, I'm not interested in seeing beheadings."

Wang Buli then shook his head: "But this counterfeit banknote case will probably lead to a lot of killings."

"Don't say that."

Doctor Wang doesn't want to know about the counterfeit money case.

He has always kept in mind the principle that misfortune comes from the mouth.

There are some things that even family members cannot tell. Who knows which school is outside and can get something out of you?

"Even the young man knows how to keep his mouth shut, so you should do the same."

"I understand."

"As long as you understand, you can rest at home, I'm going to stay in the shop."

Wang Buli watched his father holding an oil-paper umbrella and taking his youngest son to the drug store.

Presumably today's weather will make the shop much cleaner.

"Second brother."

Wang Xingying sat on the horse and watched Wang Buli catch the rain with her hands, with two dogs coiled at her feet.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Bu's plowshare looked at the light rain outside without looking back.

"Did you really stay overnight in the palace?"

"Well, I just slept and did nothing else."

"Nonsense, aren't you still trying the case?

Why do you say you didn't do anything else?

I understand, dad won't let you talk outside. "

Wang Xingying hugged her legs: "Is the palace beautiful?"

“It’s not beautiful, the decoration of the palace is not as gorgeous as Prince Yan’s Palace, and it is still under construction.

Emperor Hongwu was quite simple and did not like such extravagance. The maids in the palace also wore simple clothes, but the one who wore the simplest clothes was probably the empress. "

"what?"

Wang Xingying always felt that the Queen, as the most noble woman in the world, would naturally wear gold and jade.

And because of the empress, she will also be able to wear a phoenix crown and harem when she gets married in the future.

This policy made many women among the people be grateful to Queen Ma.

Wang Buli shook his head again: "But the palace has too many rules and too many people, so there will be a lot of disputes. It's not as good as our family."

My sister is very envious that her eldest and second brothers can visit different places.

Her range of activities is very narrow, and her circle is also small. If her second brother didn't take her out shopping from time to time, she would have to stay at home on weekdays.

Now the second brother can go to the palace to see more.

Wang Buli turned back and said: "Don't think about entering the palace to serve the emperor. He is getting older and has no shortage of women. His interest in women will gradually weaken and he will only think about how to better manage the country.

Moreover, after the emperor died, his surviving concubines would be buried, which was not humane at all.

You have the craftsmanship that my second brother taught you, and you will marry into a good family and become a big woman in the future.

You can make money and run your own business. Besides, the eldest brother and the second brother are both expected to be officials, and no one in your husband’s family would dare to bully you.

We are not angry with that! "

"Who wants to marry into the palace?

I just heard that the palace is the best place in the world, so I wanted to ask you if it is true. "

Wang Xingying felt happy as she listened to the cake her second brother drew for her.

For a little girl who grew up in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, this was probably her beautiful imagination before getting married.

"Of course the palace is not the best place in the world. It is just the place with the most rules. Too many rules means many people will die."

Wang Buli reiterated once and then shook his head:

“People outside want to get in, and people inside want to go further and gain the emperor’s favor.

But there is only one emperor, and his favor will not be shared among too many people. "

Wang Xingying didn't know that her second brother would be so emotional after going to the palace once.

What happened at night?

"Second brother."

Wang Guanzhong laughed and walked over: "How is the prince treating you?"

"good."

"My classmate Ru Yu told me a long time ago that he would find a way to mention you in front of the prince, but never thought that the prince would ask you to do something so soon?"

"The prince is reading with you?"

Wang Buli had some impression of this person.

He was his eldest brother's classmate in the Imperial College. He was younger than me, but he was very good at reading.

He came to visit his eldest brother at home after the ogre case.

That was Rujun's first visit.

"He recommended me to Prince Zhu Biao?"

"Yes." Wang Guanzhong looked extremely excited:

“He told me at that time that we must not rush into this matter.

When the time is right, he will tell the prince that you are a master of solving cases and Wang Bansheng's reputation is high.

At that time, the prince may ask you to investigate the ogre case.

I have been holding it in my heart and never told you. I never thought that you would be recruited into the palace by the prince to try the case the night before.

Brother, I have to set up a table later and thank him for his recommendation. "

Wang Buli couldn't help but sigh.

谢？

Thank you so much!

As for the case of the ogre, whoever takes over the case will be the one with numb claws.

That is related to the White Lotus Sect. A sect like this that is not clear-headed will destroy your whole family.

"Brother, you think too highly of your brother."

"I naturally want to look up to you."

Wang Buli turned his head and whispered: "I discovered that case, why didn't I take over it?

It's just because there are too many things involved behind the scenes, including the White Lotus Sect matter. Once found out, it will easily kill the whole family, and your brother will take over all the work. "

Wang Guanzhong was stunned when he heard this.

He didn't expect this.

Because Young Master Li Jinglong didn’t say anything about the case.

Based on his own understanding, Wang Guanzhong thought that his brother had cracked the ogre case that had been a hot topic in the city some time ago.

"Ah, is there anything related to the White Lotus Sect?"

"Correct."

Wang Guanzhong also put away his playful smile: "Then the case you solved the night before was not this case?"

"No, just wait and see. The emperor wants to kill quite a few people this time."

"Oops, trouble."

Wang Guanzhong immediately froze on the spot. This was not a good thing.

"I also thought that Ru Yu is the prince's companion and my classmate. He is not from Huaixi. You should be able to take care of each other in the future, so I want him to recommend you in front of the prince."

Huaixi people stick together and rise quickly, which is no secret at all in the Imperial College.

These students meet for discussions from time to time, and there are also various small groups.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not explicitly prohibit the imperial students from discussing politics, so these people naturally let it go.

Huaixi people are still a minority compared to other places.

"Brother, who doesn't know, there are also thousands of people in the Imperial College.

Huaixi people could enter the officialdom unimpeded because of someone's recommendation, and they did not need to go through the imperial examination.

But other than waiting for His Majesty to reopen the imperial examination, those of us have no other way to enter the official career.

They are all talented people of the Ming Dynasty. Who wants to be treated so differently? "

Wang Buli nodded, that's the truth.

People do not suffer from scarcity but from inequality.

Wang Guanzhong lowered his voice and said: "In this case, who doesn't hate the Huaixi people?"

After listening to his elder brother's words, Wang Buli was silent for a long time.

He hadn't thought about this angle.

Because he felt that Lao Zhu disliked these scholars who only knew how to study and not do practical things. They were all just rote readers.

Now the elder brother's statement gave Wang Buli a hint of Zhu Yuanzhang's plan before he was deposed.

That is who is close to Hu Weiyong.

These people will not end well in the future.

Not holding the imperial examination could be regarded as "indirectly protecting" some people.

Otherwise, how could this case involve so many people?

So much so that after Hu Weiyong's death, his accomplices were constantly discovered.

Lao Zhu was enlarging his efforts to cleanse the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

"Brother, today's officialdom is not very easy. I am not interested in being an official. I just want to be a petty official."

Wang Buli shook off the water droplets on his hand: "All the students in the Imperial College know that the Huaixi people are guilty of public outrage, but the emperor is not clear about it and wants to cover it up. I'm afraid he will make a list in the future."

"What is a list?"

"Let's calculate the general ledger."

"Be careful what you say."

Wang Guanzhong quickly stopped his brother.

Although he was excited, his younger brother was also about to enter officialdom.

Once you speak arrogantly, not only will it affect your future, but you will also be manipulated by others and fall into passivity.

What's more, Wang Guanzhong also heard that His Majesty would send inspectors to those who were in office to monitor his words and deeds from time to time.

My younger brother used to be a county official, so he was naturally unworthy.

But once he becomes an official, he will be included in the scope of supervision, especially since this is still in Nanjing City, and the intensity of supervision will only be high.

Wang Buli shrugged, too lazy to say anything more about these troublesome things.

The emperor was not at ease, and neither were his ministers.

The great era of the Hongwu Dynasty when everyone was in danger was still to come.

Just when both brothers were silent, there was a knock on the door outside the yard.

This weather.

Who will come?

Wang Xingying quickly rushed into the light rain, opened the courtyard door, and said in surprise:

"Second brother, Mr. Wu is here."

Wu Wei, the magistrate of Jiangning County, walked slowly holding an oil-paper umbrella.

The shackles on his feet were covered with a little yellow mud, and the shackles on his hands were soaked by the rain.

Wu Wei really didn't expect that Wang Buli would be valued by the prince and sent him to preside over the case. Even the prime minister of the court had to serve as his foil.

Prime Minister Hu Weiyong even called him to the mansion last night to specifically ask about Wang Buli.

Wu Wei's appearance here really surprised the two brothers Wang Buli, and they quickly invited him in to wipe away the rainwater for him.

No matter what, he is his boss, and Wang Buli's superficial skills are still good.

Otherwise, Wu Wei would not regard Wang Buli as his confidant.

"Mr. Wu, why does the weather come like this?"

"Hey, I'm entrusted by someone, so I can't help but come."

Wang Buli also brought a cup of hot tea. Hearing this, he thought something bad in his heart.

Shouldn't it be Hu Weiyong?

As a scholar in the county, Wang Guanzhong is qualified to accompany him, and he has no intention of leaving, lest Wu Wei say something inappropriate.

His younger brother had just gained the favor of the prince, so he had to be cautious in his words and deeds.

And don’t form parties easily.

Especially for the Huaixi Party, Ru Jin helped his younger brother during this period.

By then both Huaixi Party members and non-Huaixi Party members will reject his younger brother. Then what future does Wang Buli have in the officialdom?

When Wu Wei saw that Wang Guanzhong was not sitting with him, he said, "Buli, I know everything you did."

"Mr. Wu, we can't talk about this."

Faced with a charade, Wang Buli responded in kind.

Wu Wei nodded, he knew that this was how it should be, otherwise Wang Buli's case of counterfeit banknotes would not be leaked at all.

In particular, he understood that Wang Buli's method of pulling a net through his own mouth, and the prince also knew that it was Wang Buli's method, not his own.

However, Hu Xiang also told him that His Majesty would allow Wu Wei's shackles to be removed first, and that the shackles would have to be worn for a while longer.

It can be said that Wu Wei has accepted Wang Buli's favor.

Wu Wei put down the hot tea in his hand and the shackles made a sound:

"Buli, since you and I both know it, let's talk about it."
