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

Chapter 141 Shock! Huiyuan flowers fall in Hengzhong Academy!
Ying Tianfu.

Imperial College.

A small pavilion.

at this time.

The pavilion was filled with Confucian scholars.

There is a great Confucian who is very famous among the people.

Such as Dounan old man Hu Kui, Yixiao layman Zhang Yu, etc.

There were also officials in the court such as Song Ne, Wu Bozong, and Wu Shen.

There are also juniors such as Xie Jin, Huang Zicheng, Lian Zining and Hua Lun.

at this time.

Everyone drank tea and composed poems, with faces full of leisure and contentment.

Xie Jin's smile deepened after being praised by Song Ne.

Zhu Shan was famous for his knowledge in the early years of Hongwu!
Later, in the eighth year of Hongwu's reign, he won first place in the imperial examination!
This is why His Majesty chose him as the examiner.

Honestly.

Who can say for sure about the imperial examination?

Song Ne looked at the person coming.

It's easy to write, and it's extremely smooth.

Huang Zicheng, Lian Zining and Hua Lun are also listed as Huiyuan reserve candidates.

Maybe Huang Zicheng and Hua Lun can write better!
Xie Jin is the youngest, so he should be humble!

but.

At the same time, he also started to praise the senior scholars in a very polite way.
For a time, the entire Imperial College was filled with an atmosphere of joy.

In order to show that he was calm and composed, Song Ne deliberately did not go to the gate of Gongyuan.

"You don't blame me for leaving you here chatting and drinking tea, and not letting them see the list of tributes, right?"

Jiangxi is a place where the world’s cultural heritage gathers together, and it has produced countless academic masters from ancient times to the present!

Is something wrong?

The test questions this time are whether they are examining the meaning of scriptures, writing poems, or final strategies.

just now.

In this way, it seems that they have everything in mind and don't care about you, King Lu!
But Song Ne was not stupid. Naturally, he wanted to know the test results as soon as possible, so he ordered Zhang Lu to run and stare at the list at the entrance of Gongyuan.

This man is his disciple, named Zhang Lu.

This is simply unimaginable!
Unless King Lu manipulates the exam!
However, this is unlikely!
Who is Mr. Zhu Shan?
That is a very dignified existence among literati!

Song Ne smiled and said: "You, although it is good for scholars to be humble and polite, at some times they should also show their courage!

Xie Jin even smiled and said: "In short, whoever wins the Huiyuan will be determined the moment the paper is handed in! Now whether you watch or not, it will not prevent the person who should announce the good news from coming to announce the good news!"

But he kept saying "praise".

What else can those guys from Hengzhong Academy do besides sensationalize!
You can't really get 40 tributes out of 50 people, right?

He didn't think it was difficult.

but
How can it be!

Song Ne smiled and said: "You have to have such a mentality! What, are you confident in getting Huiyuan?"

Seeing Zhang Lu panicked.

"Song Jijiu! It's not bad! Today, the list of tributes came out!"

Several young people were so praised that they smiled crookedly.

Song Ne's heart sank.

Talented and upright!
After that, he has always existed as a respected scholar beside His Majesty.

You are already Jiangxi Jieyuan when you are just sixteen years old. You must have confidence in yourself! "

I feel really good about myself.

With this thought in his mind, even though the smile on his face could no longer be concealed, Xie Jin still shook his head and said, "Song Jijiu is just joking. A student is just a junior, so how dare he covet Huiyuan!"

The smile on Xie Jin's face grew wider.

Song Ne smiled and looked at Xie Jin and other young people.

All around.

Until a man rushed in in a panic.

Several people laughed and shook their heads.

At the same time, he also suggested that Wu Bozong and Wu Chen should not go.

Although he may not favor Confucianism and help Confucianism suppress King Lu.

But the possibility of helping King Lu is even smaller!
not to mention.

The other two great Confucians, Zhang Yu and Wang Meng, are die-hard Confucianists!

The possibility of this competition being manipulated by King Lu is extremely low!
If so.

Then how many people from Hengzhong Academy can pass the examination?
It's impossible!
Studying is nothing else. It takes several years or more than ten years of hard study. Only with a lot of hard work in ink painting can you achieve something!

Otherwise, even if you are a talented person, it will be impossible for you to reach the level of passing the tribute examination in just half a year!
For a time, countless thoughts swirled in Song Ne's mind.

In short, they are all written with the four big words "impossible"!

Song Ne reprimanded in a deep voice: "Zhang Lu! You need to be calm when facing big things! Where have all the Qi-nurturing skills I taught you for so many years gone? It's so shameful to panic when you encounter a trivial matter! I'll put you in solitary confinement for ten days later. ! Reflect on how to deal with things in the future!"

When everyone heard Song Ne's words, they all admired him.

"After all, you are Lord Jijiu! You must follow rules when talking and doing things!"

"Don't panic in times of crisis, take your time, take your time, that's the way of a gentleman!"

"I can't even learn the art of nourishing qi! I have to learn from Master Jijiu in the future."

Listen to the praise from everyone.

Song Ne was slightly proud.

Then he stroked his beard.

Looking at the aggrieved student Zhang Lu in front of him, he frowned and said, "Have you calmed down now? Tell me, what happened?"

Zhang Lu said honestly: "Master Qi! The list of tributes at the gate of Gongyuan has been posted! Huiyuan was captured by Xu Zengshou from Hengzhong Academy!
Moreover, Hengzhong Academy accounts for thirty-nine of the top fifty tributes!

The remaining eleven are all among the top seventy tributes! "

The words fell.

Song Ne stood up suddenly in shock and shouted: "Is this true?"

Zhang Lu was startled and said hurriedly: "Students dare not lie to their teacher! It is indeed true! Now there is chaos at the gate of Gongyuan!"

Song Ne rolled her eyes when she heard this.

He threw his head back and fell backwards!

Zhang Lu was stunned for a moment, then said: "Teacher, mentor! Didn't you say that you need to be calm during big events?
Teacher, please wake up!
If you can't do it yourself, then don't the students need to be put in solitary confinement? "

the other side.

Wu Bozong and Wu Chen were trembling all over.

What does Zhang Lu mean?
this means.

The bet is lost!

From now on.

Song Ne and himself will renounce Confucianism!

They must unswervingly follow the reform of the imperial examination system and introduce miscellaneous studies!
When the time comes, how will it be recorded in history? The traitors Song Ne, Wu Bozong and Wu Chen, together with King Zhu Tan of Lu, reformed the imperial examination and suppressed Confucianism!

A real villain
Wu Bozong screamed.

"Bitter!"

Wu Chen lamented.

"The world is so big that there is no place for me, Mr. Wu!"

The originally proud Confucian scholars around them all withered as if their eggplants had been beaten by frost!

Even more shocked were Huang Zicheng, Lian Zining, Hua Lun and Xie Jin!

Huang Zicheng's eyes widened and he said, "Hui Huiyuan is actually Xu Zengshou?"

Under the sun.

Anyone can be a Huiyuan, but it shouldn’t be Xu Zengshou!
For God's sake, why do you let Xu Zengshou be the Huiyuan!
What qualifications does that flowing guy have to be a Huiyuan!
Huang Zicheng panicked when he thought of that guy's sandbag-sized fists!

what is this?
Fart in bed, can you be civilized or martial?

Lian Zining, Hua Lun and Xie Jin were even more ashamed, and they didn't dare to look directly at each other's faces!

A few days ago, I was still mocking Hengzhong Academy in the Gongyuan as not being a son of a man, but a bunch of losers!
it's good now!

The wine bag and rice bag counterattack!
What did Zhang Lu just say?
Huiyuan is from Hengzhong Academy!

Among the top fifty, thirty-nine are from Hengzhong Academy!
And all the fifty dandies from Hengzhong Academy entered the top seventy!
how can that be!

Even the most famous academies in the world, such as Yuelu Academy and Bailu Academy, would never be able to achieve such a brilliant record!

How did Hengzhong Academy come to be?
at last.

Xie Jin was the first to react.

He said angrily: "Fraud! This is clearly fraud! In a Hengzhong Academy, the students are all from noble families. They have only studied for half a year. How can they do so well in the exam?"
How can half a year be worth the more than ten years of hard study for my generation of scholars?

Is there any more obvious fraud than this in the world? "

Xie Jin's words fell.

Everyone finally reacted.

He also became angry!
"That's right! What about Yuelu Academy, which has a history of hundreds of years? They can't teach their students so well!"

"This Hengzhong Academy was founded by King Zhu Tan of Lu! Zhu Tan himself was only average in his studies. Although he was considered good among the vassal kings, he was still far behind the level of scholars! How could he teach so many Jinshi is here, not to mention a Huiyuan!"

"This time it is fraud in the examination room! I am not surprised by this!
Think about it, who are these people taking the imperial examination?
They are all descendants of noble families!
Among their fathers, there were two dukes!
These people are using this method to dig into the roots of us scholars!
In the future, when these people become Jinshi, become officials, and enter the court, won't it be that their nobles have the final say in the court? "

Xie Jin shouted: "Gentlemen! Can we tolerate them cheating so blatantly?"

"cannot!"

"Do we, the scholars, agree to such a bad behavior?"

"No!"

"Then why are you still standing here! Let's go! Let's go to Gongyuan and ask the court for an explanation! We scholars are not easy to bully if we unite!"

Song Ne had already woken up.

At this time, I heard that the crowd was excited and wanted to cause trouble again.

He closed his eyes hastily.

Your Majesty hates it when scholars get together and make trouble!
I still want to live for two more years, but I must not get involved!
Crash-!
Everyone was about to get up and leave, opening the Imperial Academy.

suddenly.

Someone shouted: "Master Jijiu is still unconscious, should we take him there?"

Xie Jin frowned and said, "How can I bring it up if I faint?"

"Then let's go?"

Jie Jin shook his head and said: "Won't you wake up if you faint? Pinch the person who is offering sacrifices to Lord Jiu!"

The words fell.

Soon someone went to strangle Song Ne's people.

"I'm not awake. Master Jijiu looks a little dizzy!"

Xie Jin frowned and said, "Pinch hard and see!"

Then he panicked and said, "I didn't ask you to use so much force! It's already bleeding!"

hiss--!
Master Jijiu is so comatose! I can't even wake up even if I'm pinched like this!
That’s all, let Master Jijiu rest here first, let’s go to Gongyuan first! "

Crash-!
The crowd hugged Wu Bozong and Wu Chen and left.

Song Ne closed her eyes tightly for a long time.

It was quiet for a long time.

Then he carefully opened his eyes.

When he found that there was really no one around, he covered Renzhong tightly!

"Master Xie! I must sever all ties with you!"

Song Ne couldn't help roaring.

"Even if I am really in a coma, you should find a doctor to treat me. Just leave it here and no one will care!

They all went to Gongyuan to cause trouble!
If I really fell into a coma today, wouldn't I have to explain it here?
These bastards! "

Forbidden City.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked in the palace and frowned: "I don't know how the students of Lao Shi did in the exam! If the loss is too ugly, I don't know if Lao Shi can bear such a blow!"

Beside him, Prince Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and consoled him: "Father, manpower is limited after all! My tenth brother is not proficient in everything.
If you lose, you lose!

It would be difficult to win the bet he made in the first place!

It’s okay to be hit! "

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said with a wry smile: "This old man, I don't know if he can understand our thoughts!
Being a parent is hard!
While I am worried that my child will have a bad life, I want to help him solve all the troubles all day long!
On the other hand, I am worried that if my child lives too smoothly under my protection, he will become a naughty child! "

Zhu Biao couldn't help being stunned when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

Does your father really think so?
However, no matter how excessive things were done by the younger brothers who had already declared vassal status in various places, they never saw any reaction from their father.
This also led to these vassal kings who had little self-control in the first place to become more and more unscrupulous and unscrupulous, and did all kinds of outrageous things.
At first, Zhu Biao was worried that his brothers' ridiculous behavior would fall into the eyes of his father and lead to punishment.

Therefore, Zhu Biao also said good things to his brothers and took advantage of the situation to help cover up the crime.

Unexpectedly, Jin Yiwei bypassed himself and reported the sins of some feudal kings directly to his father.

Instead, the father remained silent and did not deal with those younger brothers!
This made Zhu Biao completely confused.

How much of what the father said is true and how much of it is false?

If the father's statement is to be followed, then he has raised at least a dozen dandies!
In Zhu Biao's eyes, these younger brothers are not very interesting.
It can be said that they are all dudes!

I have to educate them hard in the future.

Although he was quite respectful to his father and himself, what he did was really too much.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what Zhu Biao was thinking.

He just said with his hands behind his back: "Actually, we support the reform of the imperial examination system!

At that time, I just wanted to see what Old Ten’s knowledge was, so I delayed it a little and didn’t express my position immediately!
Unexpectedly, Lao Shi would be so arrogant and set such a stringent bet from the beginning!

We don’t believe he will win at all!
However, although we have little expectations for these students from Lao Shi, we have high expectations for Lao Shi!
It’s hard to become a talent just by going through good times!
This time, Lao Shi lost, which was a good thing for him!
We hope that Lao Shi can learn from this fall and become more mature! "

Zhu Biao comforted him: "Father, please relax! My tenth brother is very talented. As the saying goes, you don't need a heavy hammer to play a drum! He will definitely grow up soon and share the worries of my father!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

"We also hope that Lao Shi will grow up soon! This kid... haha!"

suddenly.

Old eunuch Chen came forward and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty! The list of tributes from the Gongyuan has come out! Grand Scholar Zhu Shan is also waiting outside the palace!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he said with some anticipation: "Oh? It's coming out? Announce it quickly!"
