Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 173 173 Lure them all to go to the north for team building

Li Wenzhong said that there was no rush in this matter, and that he would wait for him to give the emperor some relief first, so as to avoid the thankless effort in the end.

Li Wenzhong had a certain understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang's temper.

What's more, it's not wartime now.

There is no need to play with the general outside and disobey the king's orders.

Anyone who dares to play this game will be killed by Lao Zhu.

He himself is a person who is extremely suspicious and has a strong desire to control power.

Wang Buli thought the scenery of the Imperial College was pretty good, and he wanted to fish.

Li Wenzhong nodded, these scholars still have some taste.

Wang Buli was also very indifferent. This was not the Ming Dynasty he established, so there was no need to be so concerned.

If you have a sense of ownership, Lao Zhu will kill you.

You are a prince-in-law, but you are worthy of being the master of the Ming Dynasty. Where do you put me?

Wang Buli wanted to give Zhu Yuanzhang, the leader, a message: I don't want what you want, and I can't give you what I want.

He said it as if everyone was willing to have his empire.

Wang Buli followed Li Wenzhong around the Imperial Academy, looking for a more suitable fishing spot, and agreed to fish next time.

"That student can sit still."

The two of them also pretended to walk to the side of the classroom. All the students inside were laughing loudly, except for a short person who was still studying seriously.

Li Wenzhong nodded and replied:

"That little boy is Xie Jin, and he came to visit Song Lian with his brother Xie Lun.

Therefore, he studied in the Imperial College for a while. He was only seven years old and was known as a child prodigy. "

"Oh?"

Wang Buli glanced at the young man's figure.

Xie Jin and Song Lian were able to establish a relationship.

It was only because he married the daughter of Ouyang Heng, the sixteenth grandson of Ouyang Xiu, last year that he had the opportunity.

At the same time, Xie Jin also became Ouyang Heng's disciple, and their relationship became even closer.

Ru Taisu, the head of the Criminal Department, appreciated him very much after seeing Jin, and quickly used himself as a guarantee to make him a county school student.

In this way, Jie Jin could have food to support him while he was studying in the Imperial College, so that his life would not become tight.

For a child prodigy, they are willing to help as much as they can.

This is the seed of reading for the next generation after Fang Xiaoru.

"We see that this little man is much better than many adults." Li Wenzhong whispered behind his hands: "Maybe his father died young, so he grew up very quickly."

Wang Buli also nodded at Li Wenzhong's sentiments.

"Let's go, don't disturb these people's study."

Wang Buli strolled slowly, looking from classroom to classroom.

Most of the time, teachers don't even care about the students. They teach whoever wants to learn.

Now His Majesty has gathered 3,000 people here, but there are no imperial examinations, and even the teachers don't know how to answer the students' questions.

I feel confused from top to bottom, not knowing where to go.

I thought that with the overthrow of the Yuan Dynasty, the good days for scholars would come again.

But this good day is just for the scholars who are rushing ahead to catch up.

The emperor closed the door behind him with one hand.

So many readers were turned away.

No word on when it will open.

This group of students didn't make any noise and go sit-in and gather outside the palace, which shows that they still have brains and don't dare to make trouble with Emperor Hongwu.

But everyone's future is gone, and only one of the Huaixi disciples is left, sarcastically and walking sideways in the Imperial College.

They were all recommended by someone.

If you also want to have a chance to be recommended.

Then lick them and be their lackeys.

Of course, there are many people who disdain to do this.

But unable to bear the pressure of reality, many students in the Imperial College thought they were descendants of Huaixi and were willing to be dogs.

Ordinary people would not be able to find a way to have this opportunity.

A wise man once said, what's wrong with being a dog?

After finding his eldest brother, Wang Buli skipped work and went home without waiting for Prince Zhu Biao.

"Second brother, why are you free to pick me up today?"

Wang Guanzhong was very surprised.

For asking such a lack of common sense about my eldest brother, how many years older than me do you have to be picked up after school?

Wang Buli had no choice but to grin and say: "There is a murder case. Looking for clues, I will go this way."

"Ah, is this the case of the ogre?"

Wang Guanzhong immediately became energetic. The discussion of this case gradually disappeared elsewhere, but it was not low at all in the Imperial College.

Thanks to Zhu Yuanzhang not holding imperial examinations, many students became extremely idle.

They began to set up some kind of crime-solving gang, hoping to solve the case of this ogre.

Thus, like Wang Buli, he fell in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, married his daughter, and reached the pinnacle of life.

After all, Wang Buli, the first civilian prince-in-law of the Ming Dynasty, had already laid out the template, and others could just copy it.

"No, brother, this case is too complicated. I advise you not to get involved, and don't be so curious. I don't want to take it, lest it affect the lives of our whole family."

Qiantang, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, mentioned it to Wang Buli and helped the brothers in Yuan County.

But this matter was directly rejected by Wang Buli. What was the confrontation with the White Lotus Sect in the Ming Dynasty?

People's brains are not normal, so are yours?

Especially this kind of thing with high risk and little profit.

In terms of solving crimes, Wang Guanzhong still admires his younger brother.

Hearing this would cost the lives of the whole family, so Wang Guanzhong would not mention it again.

Anyway, it’s just a spectator mentality.

It's not worth losing your life just to watch the fun.

Of course, many people asked him why his younger brother didn't take over the case. Wang Guanzhong also wanted to encourage his younger brother to take over the case.

Therefore, they have always refuted that this is a case in Shangyuan County, and it is not committed in Jiangning County.

But now when Wang Buli said this, he understood the difficulty of this case.

I remember when the story of Liu Yushi's fooling around spread all over the world, Wang Guanzhong discovered that his younger brother claimed to be ill and could not investigate the case, and he died as a result.

After Liu Yushi's body was taken back, his younger brother went back to take charge.

"Second brother, you have become a famous figure in our Imperial College in the past two days, and your reputation has directly surpassed Fang Xiaoru, Ma Junze, Xie Jin, and Qi De."

The first three people had heard of it, and Wang Buli immediately asked, "Where is the fourth person from?"

"He's our little fellow, and he's also from Yingtian Mansion."

Wang Guanzhong began to boast about Qi De. Compared with the others, he naturally wanted to support the little fellow.

This level of identity is a natural ally.

Wang Buli thought for a moment and roughly understood who Qi De was. He was the second most important civil servant of Emperor Jianwen.

Zhu Yuanzhang valued him very much.

Because the Jinshen Hall of the three main halls of the palace was unfortunately struck by lightning, Lao Zhu went to the ancestral temple in the suburbs to worship. He chose an official who had been an official in the court for nine years and had no fault to accompany him to worship.

Only Qi Tai met these conditions, so he accompanied Lao Zhu to offer sacrifices, and Zhu Yuanzhang named him Tai.

Qide also became Qitai.

He and Huang Zicheng became Zhu Di's two treacherous ministers who wanted to suppress the emperor.

Compared with Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai has vision and strategic planning, and is not so radical.

Huang Zicheng asked Li Jinglong to lead his troops to attack the Yan army, but Qi Tai came forward and strongly opposed allowing Li Jinglong to serve as the commander.

But Qitai's status in Emperor Jianwen's heart was still not as good as Huang Zicheng's.

So much so that it made Li Jinglong famous!

"Second brother, I will invite Qi De to my home some other day. You can look for an opportunity to introduce him."

Wang Guanzhong chuckled twice: "Besides, as the Prince Consort, you can recommend it to the Emperor, right?"

"He is still young, why should he become an official so early?" Wang Buli quickly refused: "What's more, you said that he is a good scholar. How can he take the recommended path? He must take the imperial examination."

Wang Guanzhong also nodded. Many of his teachers have said that once he takes the imperial examination, he will definitely come out on top, and he must be the first in the Yingtianfu Township Examination.

If he performed better, Qi De might be able to become the first scholar in the Ming Dynasty to pass the third grade.

Wang Guanzhong believed that Qi De would not give up this opportunity to become a celebrity. "On the contrary, I have encouraged it." Wang Guanzhong sighed faintly:

"Why is it that others are the outstanding ones and not me, your eldest brother?"

"Brother, you are already this age, so you should be more realistic. Talent can really create a big distance between people."

Wang Buli saw that his elder brother was a little depressed, so he had to give him Ah Q's advice:

"There are more than 3,000 people in your Imperial College, but there are only four famous ones. The rest are just like you, and there are more than 3,000 unknowns. Doesn't this make it easier?"

The corners of Wang Guanzhong's mouth twitched.

He knew that his brother's comforting was like stabbing someone with a knife.

What the hell do you mean there are more than three thousand people like you who are unknown?

Wang Guanzhong's fists were clenched. If he couldn't beat this younger brother, he would have to give him some love from his elder brother.

"By the way, brother, what are the students in your Imperial College discussing about me?"

"They just envy you." Wang Buli said this with a proud smile on his face:

"I think my brother is young, handsome, and powerful. His thinking is thorough and he can solve crimes. He can also ask for orders for the people and is not afraid of the power to kill the envoys. He dares to follow up and confront people. Thanks to you, brother and I are somewhat famous in the Imperial College."

"Wang Buli's brother?"

"What kind of words are these!"

Wang Guanzhong snorted and rolled his eyes.

There are indeed not as many people calling his name as those five words.

"Can you please stop being so smart? It makes me, the elder brother, really have no sense of accomplishment."

"Being called Wang Buli's brother, don't you feel a sense of accomplishment?"

Wang Guanzhong was so angry when he heard these words.

"Hahaha." Wang Buli looked at his eldest brother's appearance and said:

"If you want to get along well in the officialdom, you don't have the skin to do it, brother."

Wang Guanzhong really expressed his feelings about his younger brother:

“Perhaps I will never be an official in this life, let’s not say when the imperial examination will be re-opened.

I can't compare to most of the students from the Imperial College alone, and I may not even be able to pass the provincial examination.

So I'm counting on you, my younger brother, to be able to recommend me something. "

"Don't you understand this?"

"Life is rarely confusing."

"By the way, do all your classmates like to make contributions?"

Hearing his brother say this, Wang Guanzhong nodded of course:

"Which of them doesn't want their name to go down in history? Scholars all like to have a bad reputation, and I have it too.

Otherwise, even if people don’t know my real name, they would always call me Wang Buli’s brother, which would make me very happy. "

Wang Buli knew in his heart that in the early Ming Dynasty, these scholars were easy to fool, so he just happened to trick them into going to the north to engage in team building.

A hundred people have died, but those who survive are mostly useful people.

Zhu Xiaosi, you don’t need to thank me too much.

Who allows me to be the only one in the world to support you as the Ming Dynasty’s new speaker?

The brothers rushed back home.

Zhu Biao was indeed very happy. He felt that many of the students in the Imperial College were talented people.

When he was leaving with Li Wenzhong, he asked Wang Buli where he had gone.

"The two brothers have gone home."

Zhu Biao said oh, he also knew that Wang Buli's brother was also studying in the Imperial College, but when the ogre case occurred near the Imperial College and the Ming Dynasty imperial examination was closed, he came here to study occasionally.

There are more than 3,000 people in the Imperial College, and one missing person would not be discovered even if he did not come to class for a short period of time.

"Why is my cousin looking so sad?"

Zhu Biao soon discovered that Li Wenzhong, who was traveling with him, looked strange.

"Wang Buli gave me a bad idea, but after thinking about it, I thought it was a great idea, so I decided to try to get into trouble with His Majesty."

"Ah, this?"

Zhu Biao immediately froze on the spot, and then said eagerly: "Cousin, please tell me quickly to avoid running into trouble with my father."

Li Wenzhong told Wang Buli about his good idea. Since most of the students in the Imperial College were not interested in studying, why not give them a chance to make contributions.

Voluntarily sign up to go to the north to build the league, whether it is to teach the people, to serve as envoys to communicate with North Korea, to cut off their contact with the Northern Yuan Dynasty, or to instigate rebellion against the Mongols, or to serve as spies for the Mongolian tribes.

As long as they are willing to go, they will make great achievements in front of them. In the future, they can also become nobles. Do they need to be recommended by others?

This idea is extremely bold.

"No."

Zhu Biao immediately refused.

The students of the Imperial College are all talented people from all over the world, and they are all young scholars. How can we let them do such a very risky thing?

You know, a family needs to pay a huge price to cultivate a scholar.

Especially right after the turmoil ended, scholars became even more valuable.

We can't rely on them to conquer the world, but we need them to govern the world.

In fact, the people gathered in the Imperial College are not the world's most talented people.

It’s just Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, and Hunan, places with the most prosperous literary styles, mixed with a small number of Sichuanese.

It can be said that there are almost none in other provinces.

Yunnan has not been included in the rule, and Guangdong and Guangxi are known as barren lands, areas where only exiles go.

Literati from Fujian were still looked down upon until the late Ming Dynasty.

The above-mentioned provinces were not called the South by the Ming Dynasty. In their definition, the South was just the small Gada.

As for North China, let’s not talk about it.

Otherwise, for the sake of balance, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have created the North and South lists.

Since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, in various places in Hebei, the fields behind the army have been deserted and there are few residents!

Survival is the most important goal, who ranks first in studying?

Not to mention that the literary style in the south is at its peak, and the overall level of students studying is much better than that of students in the north.

Visiting famous teachers and buying books are almost not conditions that northern scholars can meet.

Just like Xie Jin and other young scholars, they were noticed by famous teachers early in the morning.

Through family marriage, everyone's relationship network is extremely close, and it is impossible for outsiders to break it.

Although Li Wenzhong respected Zhu Biao, it was not him who could make decisions in Ming Dynasty now, so Li Wenzhong reported to Zhu Yuanzhang despite Zhu Biao's objection.

After Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Li Wenzhong's advice, he nodded in agreement.

What reading seeds?

As long as it is beneficial to him, Da Ming, he should fill in the lines.

He believes that there is a strong atmosphere for studying in the South. Is it possible that only one reading seed will emerge?

It's not that those guys like to praise him, it's just to prepare for his official career.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw this very clearly.

"Your Majesty, we think Wang Buli is right. The Sixteen States of Yanyun were lost for hundreds of years before they returned to our Han people's political power. They have been ruled by foreigners for a long time and have relatively low recognition of the Han people's political power.

If northern scholars are unable to pass the imperial examination in the future, it will further dampen the enthusiasm of northern scholars to serve the Ming Dynasty. In the long run, it will not be conducive to the consolidation of Ming Dynasty's rule in the north.

If those Mongols are secretly colluding with the scholars who are dissatisfied with us, I'm afraid it will be a troublesome matter. "

Li Wenzhong directly repeated Wang Buli's words. Although he had read a lot of books and was a member of the royal family who was "studying for a secondary school degree", there were some things he could not have imagined.

Not to mention Li Wenzhong, even Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect such consequences.

In the imperial court, Southerners already account for a large proportion of officials, and they will promote Southerners in the future.

In the long run, will the Ming Dynasty still be the court of the people of the world?

Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to be the emperor of the world, not the emperor of the Huaixi Group, so he used party strife to continuously weaken the strength of the Huaixi Group.

The current conspiracy against Prime Minister Hu Weiyong is Zhu Yuanzhang's long-term plan to weaken the Huaixi Group.

It doesn't matter who Zhu Yuanzhang has in mind, only consolidating the imperial power is the most important!

"Wen Zhong is right." Zhu Yuanzhang first agreed: "Even if we let them go to the north to teach, it will be much better than doing nothing in the Imperial College."

Zhu Biao was speechless even if he wanted to refute. This was entirely for Daming's sake.

"But, dad, it's hard in the north. If you have some seeds for studying, you still have to be careful in sending them, just in case the climate doesn't suit you. I'm afraid."

"Afraid of shit!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was not used to his eldest son sometimes:

"As an emperor, we are willing to send the fourth son to Peking to eat sand. Which of them, as a scholar, can be more noble than the status of the prince, the fourth son?

The fourth child can go to the north to endure hardships. Since they want to be officials in the Ming Dynasty, why not go!

As an elder brother, you are thinking about strangers. It has nothing to do with your biological brother, right? "

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted and asked, immediately rendering Zhu Biao speechless.

He knows that he still has great "room for improvement" in governing.

"If we act more domineeringly and show you are more kind, it does not mean that you will become a woman."

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Zhu Biao and scolded: "Remember, don't be benevolent as a woman, otherwise how can we defend our Ming Dynasty!"
