I open a history tutorial class in Daming

Chapter 69 The Peculiarity of Ming Dynasty

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was racking his brains to think about how to face Ying Zheng's questioning.

Everyone felt a familiar dizziness coming over them at the same time, and their vision blurred. When they could see clearly again, they were thrown back to their original world.

The tenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty.

In Kunning Palace.

Empress Ma was already used to their father and son suddenly disappearing and reappearing. After hearing the noise, she saw Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao standing there with bewildered expressions on their faces, and she couldn't help but laugh:

"What's wrong? You're not used to it after two days of rest?"

"I think you two are cut from the same cloth. You are destined to be busy and have to be busy!"

No one spoke.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at each other, their minds full of what had been said in the previous class and the fact that everyone had questioned Zhu Yuanzhang at the end.

Both of them were worried, but didn't say anything for a while. They just sighed face to face.

Empress Ma finally realized something was wrong, and she sat up from the bed and waved:

"What happened that makes you look like you want to sigh your lungs out?"

"If you have something and no one to discuss it with, just talk to me. Although I am not as well-educated as those people in the court, I still have more brains and more strength, right?"

half an hour.

Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to walk to the bedside of Empress Ma, and sat down on a stool. Zhu Biao followed closely and also stood by the bed.

The two of them talked back and forth, roughly explaining what happened in class, with the focus still on the part where Ying Zheng became suspicious at the end.

"…Oh, what should I do? The thing I am worst at in my life is lying!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked sad:
"And if it's to deceive ordinary people, it's not a big deal, just a few words to fool them, but there is no simple character among them, they are all cunning. I was lucky today, and the class happened to be over, but they will definitely ask again tomorrow."

"What will we do then?"

This was the first time Zhu Biao had done such a thing, so he could only sigh and was unable to help.

When others faced the scene where the emperor and the prince were in trouble together, they either became weak-kneed for fear of bringing trouble to themselves, or quickly came up with ideas for a better future.

But Empress Ma didn't indulge them:

"You won't lie? Then why didn't you say you won't lie when you used your eyes to bully Song Shen because he was blind and tried to get him to tell you something?"

"Chen Guorui and Chen Biao are really good at naming!"

"If you ask me, you should have been frank with Song Shen from the beginning. Otherwise, it would have been fine if he had remained blind, but how would you explain it later?"

"Now, just the ancient people from the previous dynasties like Ying Zheng have caused you so much trouble, but Song Shen and we are actually from the same period. If he knew about it, wouldn't the consequences be even more unpredictable?"

To be honest, it’s the daughter-in-law who sees things more clearly.

Even Zhu Biao, his own son, thought that his father was a little confused by Ying Zheng's questioning, so he looked worried.

But now listening to what his mother said, something seems a little wrong...

"Dad, so you're not worried about Ying Zheng and the others, but Mr. Song?"

Zhu Biao finally came to his senses and raised his eyebrows:

"Are you worried that if this matter is not resolved properly, Mr. Song will give up, or that there will be some serious consequences, causing that damn system to impose punishment?"

He remembered that the system had reminded all the students before -

[Please note, students, teacher Song Shen and you are not from the same world, and both sides have cognitive barriers. Please be sure to conceal your points and rewards in front of the teacher. Unless the teacher finds out, you must not tell him! Otherwise, this space will be seriously confused! ]

At that time, Zhu Biao felt it was strange. It was fine in other dynasties, but in their Ming Dynasty, Song Shen really existed. He had parents and grandfather. He had held an official position in the court. He even had seen him before. Why did the system say to them that he did not exist?

Now that I think about it, it was probably because of certain rules that Song Shen became blind and lost his memory, so that he couldn't recognize them in the classroom.

As long as Song Shen doesn't notice it, this is also reasonable in a sense.

After a long silence, the sad expression on Zhu Yuanzhang's face disappeared and was replaced by a serious look.

He stopped pretending, nodded, and said in a deep voice:
"That's right. I've always felt that Biaoer and I are in a different situation from other people."

"First, let me ask you, Biao'er. You did very well in the last exam. Today, you got a red flower from the teacher. Did you get the points?"

Zhu Biao was stunned:
"No……"

Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched, and he asked again: "If the First Emperor's admonition to Fusu can be regarded as changing the course of history, then if we kill Zhu Yunwen, wouldn't the change be even greater? Have you got any points or the opportunity to bring people in these days?"

Zhu Biao shook his head blankly again:

"nor……"

Ok!

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't need to ask any more questions afterwards, as Zhu Biao had already understood everything. Even Empress Ma, who was listening to their conversation nearby, came to her senses.

Queen Ma frowned:
"Zhongba, what you mean is..."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded without leaving any doubts:

"I suspect that in every dynasty, every change, only one person can be rewarded."

"So far, only the First Emperor and Zhang Liang have obtained it. The people in the Tang Dynasty came later, so we don't know yet. But in our Ming Dynasty, including that useless Zhu Qizhen, no one has ever obtained it."

"It's very unusual and doesn't make sense."

"Thinking about it carefully, Song Shen took out the potatoes right after Zhu Yunwen died in the womb."

"Don't you think there's some connection here?"

Zhu Biao and Empress Ma looked at each other, and both mother and son were shocked.

That's right, exactly!
Among all the dynasties that have appeared so far, only Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and the five people in the Zhenguan period had multiple people coexisting in the same dynasty.

But in fact, during the Hongwu Dynasty, there was another person besides the Zhu father and son.

Song Shen!

Because he was a teacher, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think about this aspect until he took out potatoes.

This thing was clearly marked with a price in the system mall. Ten points were really too many. Now the Zhu family didn't have any points, so they never thought about when they could exchange it. As a result, after Zhu Yunwen died in the womb, Song Shen raised his hand and took it out.

If there is no connection here, no one would believe it!

“That’s our specialness.”

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his temples, feeling a little tired:

"From this perspective, no matter how much we do or how well we do in the exams, we probably won't be able to earn points in the future and exchange them for goodies in the mall."

"But there is one good thing about it, which is that at least Song Shen can get it."

"Judging from his behavior in class, and his efforts to reveal the future when he spoke to us, Song Shen must be biased towards the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, he would not have risked his life to tell us the death dates of my sister and Ying'er, nor would he have chosen Zhang Wei, an official appointed by the imperial court, to grow potatoes."

"When he chose Zhang Wei, he was already prepared to hand over the potatoes to the court. The reason why he didn't hand them over directly was because there were no mature potatoes in the fields, and it was hard to convince people that this was a crop that could produce more than 1,000 kilograms per mu."

"He can't hand it over to Song Lian either, because from what he said, I have a feeling that Song Shen is trying to find a way out for himself. I'm afraid that in the history he knows, the Song family will suffer a disaster because of the royal family. He is now hiding it from Song Lian, looking for a way out for the Song family and himself. If Song Lian knew about it, given the old guy's temper, I'm afraid he would avoid it as much as possible and directly throw all the credit to the court."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not continue speaking.

But Zhu Biao was so impatient that he didn't even have time to feel sad about Zhu Yunwen's incident. He immediately asked:
"Dad, what you mean is that no matter what we do in the future, even if we can't get the benefits ourselves, as long as Mr. Song can get it, it's equivalent to the court getting it?"

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, Empress Ma shook her head:
"Biao'er, you are too trusting... The Song family is loyal to the court, but money can make people happy. Even if Song Shen is a good person now and thinks of the court first, he is still young. If someone bewitches him, wouldn't it be easy for him to rebel if he holds a system that gives out good things like a cornucopia?"

"I don't doubt Song Shen, I just don't trust people's hearts."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at his wife, and a smile finally appeared on his serious face:
"Sister, you still understand me. Sister, I know you are saying this to me. You seem to like Song Shen very much, but you are afraid that I will do something, so you want to belittle him first, right?"

Queen Ma curled her lips in noncommittal.

Her husband knew him best. Zhu Yuanzhang was a suspicious and jealous person. In addition to Empress Ma and Zhu Biao, he wanted to put spies in the homes of all officials to eavesdrop. Even if he praised Song Shen again and again, if she said that she believed in Song Shen without any doubt, Empress Ma would rather believe that she would encounter a ghost today.

After a pause, Zhu Yuanzhang said:
"We didn't have much contact with Song Shen before. Now that he's blind, he's more like a child carrying gold in a busy city. It's normal for him to be deceived by others. If we don't take precautions, it's really hard to be at ease."

"Biao'er, sister, I have two ideas."

"First, buy all the houses near Song Shen's home and have the Yiluansi people move in. Make sure not even a fly can fly into his house. If he goes out, follow him secretly and find out who he has met. Then Zhang Wei will remind him to prevent him from being deceived."

Before he could finish, Queen Ma frowned:
"No, he hasn't done anything bad, and you're treating him like a criminal? Is that reasonable?"

"Tell me the second one!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and said with a smile:
"The second is to select a man of the right age from among our princesses and let Song Shen be the prince consort and become one of our family members."

"Girl, can you pick one?"

　Stop scolding me. I will post one chapter first. There are two more chapters to come. I will post them when I finish writing them. TAT
