King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

Chapter 139 In front of Gongyuan Gate! Hengzhong Academy is shocking!

Zhu Biao looked at the uniform team with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Although he was looking forward to seeing the students of Zhu Tanhengzhong Academy.

But I didn’t expect it.

When I really see it.

It turned out to be such a scene.

It even made him feel a little embarrassed!
Now all eyes are focused on the people in Hengzhong Academy!

Really, too high-profile
Compared with this restrained era, it seems quite out of place.

Next to Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi looked at the people around him with his mouth wide open, and asked in a daze: "Is this the character of Lao Shi? He used to care so little about what others think of him?"

Zhu Rui, who had the most contact with Zhu Tan, was stunned and said: "This kid, I thought he was good at hiding his clumsiness. Now it seems that he is quite good at playing!"

If you are equipped with this kind of fire blunderbuss and other sharp firearms, you will definitely be very cool and powerful.
It's a pity that Tao Chengdao Tao Wanhu, who worked for his father, is nowhere to be found now. If he were around, I'm afraid the firearms in his domain would be sharper.

Can anyone in the entire Ming Dynasty find anything more powerful than that kind of fire gun?
In the future, if I guard the north and become the general of the Ming Dynasty who controls the north, I will build a unit dedicated to using firearms no matter what.
Just call it Shenji Camp!

Zhu Di was stunned and said hurriedly: "It's nothing! I was thinking that the tenth brother is quite high-profile this time!"

He was also wondering.

This piece of shit!
Yes!

Zhu Fan frowned and said: "This old man! He really has no respect for his brother! What does that fire gun look like? I am very curious!
After you returned to the feudal territory, you also gave several hundred to your brother. I will study it. Is it really that bad? It must be Lao Shi who has no vision! "

"Old Shi, this is like training sergeants! Can you pass the imperial examination with just this?"

Too lazy to pay attention to Zhu Fan anymore.

Xu Da, Tang He, Lan Yu and other twenty or thirty distinguished nobles were looking expectantly.

Zhu Di was still a little afraid of Zhu Fan.

The financial resources and military strength of Prince Jin's Palace are greater than that of Prince Yan's Palace, so what are you pretending to do!
Are you addicted to cheating on your brothers?
I really don’t know what to say!
Zhu Fang looked at the students from Hengzhong Academy lining up and couldn't help but shake his head.

It’s really difficult for him.”

I will tell my father another day that this man and his disciples must be searched all over the world, so that they will not be used by some thieves to secretly manufacture firearms to harm the imperial court.
wrong.

What about the face?

Zhu Xi said angrily: "Isn't it an imperial examination? What's the use of just knowing how to stand in line!"

Zhu Di curled his lips slightly.

Zhu Di suddenly frowned and said to himself: "What are you doing as a general to control the north! He should be a general to conquer the north! What's the point of just guarding the north? We should take the initiative to attack those Tatars!"

Jin King Zhu Fan heard Zhu Di talking to himself and asked curiously: "Fourth brother, what were you talking about just now?"

I really don’t know what he thinks!

Is this the genius in the world that he values ​​​​very much, and Monk Daoyan has been talking about?
This scene looked a bit like a playboy's!
Speaking of which, he showed no surprise at the firecracker demonstration he showed Lao Shi yesterday.

Zhu Biao did not refute.

the other side.

This person's mind and ability are no worse than mine, and his status is with his father. He is also more favored than himself and is not easy to offend.

Zhu Di was even more disbelieving.

Zhu Fan was stunned and said: "Twelve taels of silver each. I remember that the Semu man brought at least more than 200 taels. Didn't you buy them all?"

Listening to what you mean, you even know the source, price and quantity of this firecracker, and it doesn’t look like you’ve never seen it before!
Then a face filled with anger!

The Semu people who entered the Ming Dynasty from the Western Regions must have passed through his vassal territory of Zhu Laosan first!
It is estimated that Zhu Fan was reluctant to buy it. After letting him go, the batch of fire blunderbuss passed into his own hands!
This bastard simply found out the truth a long time ago and wants to deceive himself!
Shameless!
Zhu Fan gave a dry laugh and said: "Brother, I also saw the man with lustful eyes at that time, but I didn't study the fire gun clearly. I thought it was too expensive at the time, so I accidentally missed it."

Zhu Di was also stunned when he heard Zhu Fan's words.

In the Xungui Group.

Even when he took the firecracker, Lao Shi complained that Westerners are not that good now.

but.

Zhu Di could only smile bitterly and said: "Third brother, there are really not many such fire guns, and I don't have that many."

Zhu Biao laughed dryly and said: "No matter what, this formation is pretty good-looking, isn't it? It would be difficult for the elites of the capital camp to stand like this!"

Zhu Fan sneered and said: "It's inevitable for a young man to be proud! Didn't you see that your father is doting on him! I heard that you gave him two sharp fire guns yesterday?"

Zhu Di:? ? ?
The manufacturing cost of this kind of fire gun is not estimated to be high, but because it was brought by the Semu people from the West, the cost is high, starting from ten taels of silver!
You, Zhu Laosan, want a few hundred cigarettes just for asking?

I don't know who the devil was beforehand. Not only were Tao Wanhu's people gone, but even his disciples had disappeared without a trace.

Wait until the team from Hengzhong Academy really shows up.

Yes, in the imperial examination, what's the use of just standing in line?

Zhu Di nodded and said: "Yes! But he doesn't like it very much! He said it was no more than that, but he still accepted it."

Somewhat disappointed Zhu Di.

While Xu Da was looking for his son Xu Zengshou, he couldn't help but frown and said: "His Royal Highness, King Lu, is too high-profile. It's really embarrassing to be watched like a monkey in a monkey show!
That kid Zengshou has been thin-skinned since he was a child. Now standing in the team like this, he probably feels like a light on his back!

Lan Yu laughed and said: "Wei Guogong, I think the longevity is not bad! He is full of energy and has loud slogans. He is a good man!"

Xu Da was stunned for a moment, then took a closer look!
No wonder I couldn't find Xu Zengshou even after looking for a long time!
It turns out that this kid is standing at the front of the team and carrying the flag!
For an instant.

Xu Da's face was as red as blood!

this.
This is too high-profile!

Being surrounded by so many people, my Xu family’s face looks so bad
It’s a complete loss!
When my face was full of fever.

suddenly.

Xu Da also saw the person behind Xu Zengshou.

He couldn't help but said: "Yongchang Hou, I think Lan Bin looks good! He was the one who took the lead in shouting one, two, one!"

Lan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned red to the color of pig liver.

"This kid! Why is his voice so loud as to bray like a donkey? It's so embarrassing! Is it really nice to be surrounded by so many people?"

not far away.

Tang He looked at the two of them pitifully.

"You only have one son who went to Hengzhong Academy, but I have two from Hengzhong Academy!

They are also in the crowd!
Why! It’s really shameless”

Lan Yu suddenly felt a little happy and said: "Fortunately, that boy Lan Bin wrote to me and said that the relationship between father and son was terminated! He said that I lied to him and sent him to the hell on earth at Hengzhong Academy!
So he has nothing to do with me now, and the shame is not for me! "

When Xu Da heard Lan Yu's words, his face was filled with envy!
Then he looked at Tang He and couldn't help but said: "Dong Xin, you said that all the sons of Marquis Yongchang have terminated their father-son relationship with him.

Is it possible that our son will also terminate the father-son relationship with us?

We just haven’t been notified yet, so we don’t know yet!
In other words, we have been notified, but we forgot! "

Tang He was stunned and glanced at Xu Da blankly.

These days, how can anyone dissolve the relationship between father and son and still join in the fun together!
What did Duke Guo of Wei think?

He couldn't help but replied: "It's impossible.
The two traitors in my family just write to me every time asking me to save them!
How dare they terminate the father-son relationship with me?
If I don't care, I'm afraid they will starve to death! "

Xu Da shook his head and said: "Don't be so absolute! Although I didn't receive the notice that Xu Zengshou terminated the relationship between father and son!

But I feel like I have received it now. How about we confirm again? In short, I don’t want this son who carries the banner! "

Tang He only reacted after hearing this.

Wei Guogong thought his son was too embarrassing for him, so he didn't want it anymore!
I couldn't help but smile bitterly and advised: "Isn't it just that the queue is too high-profile? This is probably the arrangement of His Highness King Lu and has nothing to do with these children.
There is no need for Wei Guogong to be angry, why would he not want a son? "

Xu Da's face was full of bitterness.

Your son's feelings are not the one to carry the banner!
Tang He's voice fell.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the side of Hengzhong Academy.

"Report to the Chief! There should be 50 people from Hengzhong Academy, but 50 people actually arrived!
Report completed, please give instructions! "

Tang He took a closer look and saw that the person shouting slogans and reporting to Zhu Tan was none other than his fourth son, Tang Xie.
In front of so many people, what's your donkey's name?

Are you afraid that you won’t be embarrassed enough?
When he thought that there were so many people here watching his son yelling, Tang He felt that he couldn't hold it in his face and collapsed instantly!

He jerked his head.

"Wei Guogong, I remembered!

It seems that these two boys in my family have also said that they want to sever the relationship between father and son!

When I get back, I will open an incense hall to worship my ancestors and kick them out of the Tang family!
From now on, you can have whatever surname you like!
Anyway, I don’t want it anymore! "

"My Lu family doesn't want this son anymore!"

"My Zhang family doesn't want it either."

"Give them all to His Highness King Lu! Let them take the surname Zhu after His Highness King Lu!"

"Hush! The country's surname, Pingliang Marquis, cannot be random. These guys think so!"

not far away.

A group of Confucian scholars looked at the people in Hengzhong Academy pointing and smiling.

Song Ne couldn't help but laugh and said: "His Royal Highness Prince Lu's Hengzhong Academy is indeed extraordinary!
We obviously want to teach people how to read, but now we have a group of sergeants here to teach them!

In this way, a group of Qiu Ba masters were taught!

They are probably more skilled at holding a knife than a pen!
How interesting! "

Wu Chen stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I originally thought that Hengzhong Academy had some skills!
After all, he studied so hard and hired famous teachers to teach him!

Originally, I was worried that they might get good grades in the exam!

Now it seems that it doesn’t matter!

These people don't look like scholars at all!
I really don’t know what to say! "

Wu Bozong even smiled and said: "Everyone, let's go drinking together later to celebrate! We have preserved Confucianism's position in the imperial examination!

Ha ha
His Royal Highness, King Lu, is really reassuring in his work! There is no need to compare, just look at the virtues of the students he teaches and you will know the level! "

Ministry of Rites.

The gate of Gongyuan.

Zhu Tan stood in front of the students of Hengzhong Academy with a solemn face.

Originally, he invited several gentlemen such as Kong Yanji, Chen Yu and Dong Lun to come together to cheer up the students.

But when several old gentlemen heard that Zhu Tan had arranged it like this, they all resigned, like avoiding snakes and scorpions!
resignedly.

Now there are only dozens of teaching assistants and these fifty students.

Zhu Tan looked at everyone, cleared his throat, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone! After half a year of intense study, we have finally reached today, and we are about to compete with the students all over the world!

Do you have confidence? "

The words fell.

Everyone in Hengzhong Academy shouted in unison: "Yes!"

The sound shook everywhere!

not far away.

The gate of Gongyuan.

Xu Cheng, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, frowned and said: "There is such a noise and noise at the entrance of Gongyuan! It is simply unbecoming and unreasonable! General Sun, you are responsible for maintaining the order of Gongyuan! Go and disperse these people from Hengzhong Academy!"

General Sun almost cursed when he heard Xu Cheng's words!
Who is the person standing behind Hengzhong Academy? Why don't you recognize him?

Want me to disperse people?
How many heads have I grown?
It is the early Ming Dynasty, and the status of military commanders is not lower than that of civilian officials.

General Sun now has the rank of commander of the third rank and is not afraid of Xu Cheng at all.

He laughed dryly and said: "Shilang Xu, isn't your Ministry of Rites in charge of the imperial examinations? These people are so noisy and noisy, obviously they don't take the Ministry of Rites seriously, otherwise you can disqualify these students from the exams!"

Xu Cheng frowned and looked at General Sun.

Who said these soldiers are brainless?
This guy's excuses are more slippery than his own!

snort!
Cancel the examination qualifications of Hengzhong College students yourself?

Then King Lu dares to cancel his right to live!
Xu Cheng couldn't help but shake his head.

"Now it sounds like this speech is touching and unique! It's not noisy at all!"

Zhu Tan ignored the people pointing around.

Just looking at the people in front of him, he said in a deep voice: "In the past six months!
The head of the mountain watched everyone with his own eyes, working hard and studying hard!

Work hard and sleep well at night, don't dare to delay for a moment!

With such spirit and style of study, how can we fail to win?

The college has invited famous teachers from all over the world for you!

For example, Mr. Jingcheng Chen Yu, Mr. Dong Lun from Beizhou, and even the direct bloodline of Kong Shengren, Kong Yanji, Kong Yanjing and other gentlemen!

These people are all great scholars who have met His Majesty and are respected by His Majesty!

With their teachings, how can we be invincible?
All of you are from famous families, noble sons, and loyal and virtuous queens!
Your fathers made great contributions to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty!
The imperial court did not treat its heroes badly!
You have all grown up with rich clothes and good food since childhood!
When it comes to family background, who in the world can compare with your family background!

How can those students from poor families study hard for ten years in a cold window and be worth the efforts of your fathers?

When it comes to our loyalty to the imperial court and our noble background, how can we fail to win?

There is no eldest son among you here!

I have never thought of inviting your eldest brother to study at Hengzhong College!

Because there is no need!

They are destined to inherit the titles of your fathers in the future!

Even if you have obtained the title, how can you possibly be as high as the title of your fathers?
But everyone is different!

None of you are qualified to inherit the title!

In the future, if you receive the favor of the imperial court, no matter your status, you will be far inferior to your eldest brother!

Is it possible that the first born is the best in this world?
Mr. Benshan doesn’t think so!

It’s just that the laws of the country and the DPRK are like this, and we must accept it!
In this case, we can just use this imperial examination to prove it to our father and brother!

Although we were born later, we are not necessarily inferior to our elder brothers!

It’s just that there is an order of respect between elders and younger ones!

In the future, we can also rely on our own abilities to make a name for ourselves and build our own achievements!

Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living people, carry on the unique teachings of the past saints, and create peace for all generations! "

Hear this.

Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and Zhu Xi looked at their eldest brother Zhu Biao at the same time.

Zhu Biao felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by several people.

A dry laugh.

"Tenth brother is really good-natured! I think he is right! What do you think?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Of course the eldest brother is the best in our Zhu family!"

"How can our family do without a big brother?"

"Who dares to say that our eldest brother is not the best? I will kill him with one blow!"

Zhu Biao smiled.

"My father naturally has his reasons for arranging it this way! However, what the tenth brother says now is indeed very encouraging!"

To the end.

Zhu Tan smiled at everyone and said: "I was on the road just now, and I heard that Confucianists in various places offered hundreds of taels of silver to reward local children for passing the Jinshi exam!

Ha ha!

Only a few hundred taels of silver are given to a Jinshi person who passes the examination. What kind of reward is this?
I'm so angry!

Since everyone is willing to reward you with silver, I will join in the fun! "

talking.

Zhu Tan smiled and said: "Anyone who passes the examination as a tribute today will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver! Those who enter the top 100 will be rewarded with two thousand taels of silver!"
Those who enter the top fifty will receive a reward of five thousand taels of silver!
Those who enter the top ten will receive a reward of 10,000 taels of silver!

If you can help me, someone can win this meeting and be rewarded with a hundred thousand taels of silver!

With that being said, I am waiting for good news from you all!

I hope you will shine brightly and serve the imperial court! "

The words fell.

The whole place was excited!

Not only the people at Hengzhong Academy were excited.

Others listening here were also excited!

If you win the prize, you will be rewarded with one hundred thousand taels of silver!

This amount is really so high that it makes people feel a little frightened!

If a vassal king relied on his salary alone, it would take ten years to save so much money!
Now, Zhu Tan casually sent it down!

Originally, Kunshan County, Suzhou Prefecture, South Zhili Province offered a silver reward of 500 taels, which already showed the magnanimity of the richest man in the world.

This kind of amount makes many people jealous!
But what about now?
General Zhu Tan's silver reward for tributes was doubled based on Kunshan's silver reward!
The level of wealth is really astonishing!
Song Ne couldn't help but said sourly: "No wonder His Royal Highness King Lu is so generous. After all, none of these people will be able to pass the exam!"

Wu Chen sighed: "It's unreasonable. Why did all this money end up in the hands of His Highness King Lu?"

Wu Bozong frowned and said: "His Royal Highness King Lu is so vulgar! He actually used money and other stupid things to discredit the imperial examination! I really don't know what to say!
It is the highest honor to pass the Gongshi examination!

How can you use money as an incentive!
No matter how much you give, it will still fall short! "

When Wu Chen heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "But just now Confucian schools, academies and merchants from all over the world also gave silver rewards to students from all over the world."

Wu Bozong shook his head and said: "That's different, these silvers were given by innocent scholars!
It’s different from His Royal Highness Prince Lu.”

Zhu Tan finished his speech to everyone and looked at the students of Hengzhong Academy.

Xu Zengshou suddenly shouted the slogan he had prepared long ago.

“The number one scholar in the rankings is my writing, and the students from Hengzhong Middle School are invincible in the world!”

The words fell.

Everyone in Hengzhong Academy roared in unison.

“The number one scholar in the rankings is my writing, and the students from Hengzhong Middle School are invincible in the world!”

As soon as the slogan was shouted out, the Confucian scholars around him were shocked to the point of being scorched on the outside and tender on the inside!
Confucianism emphasizes self-denial and propriety, and its view of everything is based on humility.

Shout out this kind of slogan.
What a shame!
however.

All the students in Hengzhong Academy, who have now fallen into a frenzy, are a little proud.

When I shout, I feel full of energy!
Maybe they all have an arrogant teenage dream in their hearts!

After the slogan was shouted.

Everyone from Hengzhong Academy finally entered Gongyuan.

Everyone onlookers also let out a sigh of relief.

Whether it is the prince, vassal king, many Confucian scholars, or many nobles,
no way.

This Hengzhong Academy is really unique.
It’s so fierce that everyone can’t accept it.
Now that we have entered the examination room, we have to find out whether Hengzhong Academy is a joke or if it is really as powerful as their slogan!
