First Prince of Ming Dynasty Chapter 142

  Chapter 142 House

  Zhu Biao looked at Liu Jin and said, "Why are there so many dishes, Liu Jin, didn't I tell you not to waste money?"

  Liu Jin replied from the side: "Master, you have been busy for a day, and this servant wants you to eat more, and this servant is willing to accept punishment, so you can eat first."

  Zhu Biao shook his head: "You all eat up the rest in a while, don't waste it.

  After Liu Jin thanked him, Zhu Biao started to move his chopsticks. As the saying goes, a half-sized man eats a poor man. Although Zhu Yuanzhang will not be eaten poor, it can be seen how much a man can eat at this time.

  After Zhu Biao finished eating, he left Liu Jin and others to sweep the tail. He led Nuanyu around the East Palace courtyard. After walking for a while, Zhu Biao suddenly asked Nuanyu, "Is there anyone else in your family?"

   Nuan Yu was happily following Zhu Biao, and was taken aback when she heard this sentence: Apart from her parents, the servant seems to have two younger brothers, but the servant has never seen her since she entered the palace when she was a child. "

  Zhu Biao nodded: "Do you want to go back and meet?"

  Nuan Yu shook her head: "The slaves will be sent out of the palace after the monthly money is paid, but the slaves don't want to see them anymore."

Zhu Biao nodded, don't persuade others to be kind without suffering from others, Zhu Biao still remembers seeing Nuanyu for the first time, even though he had been raised in Wu Wangfu for a period of time, he was still skinny and timid, extremely Timid, it can be seen that she is not doing well at home.

  Nuan Yu is still willing to give away her monthly money, which is already very filial. After all, her parents have already received her money for selling herself.

   After walking a few more laps, Zhu Biao went back to sleep, and will check the Enke examination room carefully tomorrow.

  The next day, after Zhu Biao got up and washed, he drank a bowl of porridge, and then walked directly towards the newly built Enke examination room. Song Lian had also arrived, and the imperial examination was coming, and Zhu Yuanzhang had already exempted him from his early court.

  After seeing the ceremony, the master and the apprentice walked inside. First, they had to step through a door with a dragon pattern on it, which meant that the carp leaped over the dragon gate.

The courtyard is also considered spacious and bright, but when it comes to the place where the students really take the exam, it is a big disappointment. Zhu Biao looked at the dormitories, and the inside is five feet long, four feet wide, and eight feet high. They are all single rooms. Numbered with a certain character, there are about a hundred rooms, all of which face south into a long alley. The alley is more than four feet wide, and there is a gate at the entrance of the alley. A certain font size is written on the lintel wall, and lights and water tanks are placed together.

Zhu Biao sat in and felt it by himself. There were only two detachable wooden boards and a chair inside. During the exam, the two wooden boards were stacked together to form a table. At night, the two boards were put together to form a bed. For taller and stronger scholars I'm afraid I can't even stretch my legs.

Zhu Biao simulated the answer sheet, but felt very uncomfortable, as if being locked in a cage, and inexplicably began to feel bored in his heart, Zhu Biao got up and walked out and said to Song Lian: "I can't eat well, I can't sleep well, and I have to hang myself." It's really hard to answer the questions with all your brains."

  Song Lian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "A carp jumping over the dragon's gate will not experience suffering. What is such a trivial matter?"

  Zhu Biao thinks so too. Compared with Guangzong Yaozu who passed the exam, this trivial matter is not unbearable. "

  Zhu Biao walked around and looked at the legendary stinking number, wondering what kind of torture the examinees would have to endure if they could sit here.

  Song Lian saw that he was almost gone and asked: "Your Highness is satisfied, is there any room for improvement?"

  Zhu Biao said: "If there is room in the examination room, just seal the stinky account."

  Song Lian nodded, and Zhu Biao bid farewell to his teacher. After seeing those talents in the imperial examination, Zhu Biao's enthusiasm for the imperial examination dropped a lot, and he was unwilling to waste his time on them.

  Get up and go straight to Zhongshu Province. At this time, the morning court has already set off, and he is going to have a chat with Li Shanchang.

  Walking all the way to Zhongshu Province, he heard noises as soon as he stepped in. Zhu Biao waved his hand to stop several officials from preparing to salute, and when he stepped forward, he heard the voices of Yang Xian and Hu Weiyong.

  Both sides are very tough, but it can be clearly felt that Yang Xian took the initiative, and Hu Weiyong just wanted to hold the bottom line.

  Yang Xian looked at Hu Weiyong coldly and said: The regulations formulated by this official were approved by the Holy Spirit. What's the problem? "

Hu Weiyong said with a sneer: "What a charming Zhongshu Zuoxiang, you asked us to complete official duties in a short period of time, do you know that the orders issued by the Zhongshu Ministry are related to the country, and some government affairs are issued directly without proper discussion. It's going to be a big mess!"

  Yang Xian snorted: "That's why you waited for half a month to approve a matter? I tell you that the administrative efficiency of Zhongshu Province must be improved, and it must not be delayed again and again."

  Zhu Biao shook his head and didn't bother to get involved. There is no right or wrong in this matter. You can't issue orders at will for the sake of administrative efficiency, but it is also wrong for Zhongshu Province to procrastinate government affairs habitually.

   But this matter must end in Yang Xian's victory, because Zhu Yuanzhang is standing behind him, and Hu Weiyong is also aware of this. The emperor has long been dissatisfied with the efficiency of Zhongshu Province's handling of affairs, and he deliberately used Yang Xian to stimulate them.

But in politics, it doesn't mean that you don't need to do it once you know the result. Yang Xian is in the limelight, combined with the East Zhejiang Party to squeeze the nobles of Huaixi. Since Hu Weiyong wants to take over Li Shanchang's class, he must Step forward and declare that even if I lose, I will never let Yang Xian be presumptuous.

  Zhu Biao walked to Li Shanchang's room. He had been waiting here for a long time, and bowed to Zhu Biao: "The old minister sees Your Highness, Your Highness is forever."

  Zhu Biao stretched out his hand to support him: "Please get up, Mrs. Li, let's go in and talk."

   Li Shanchang turned sideways to welcome Zhu Biao in, while Liu Jin guarded the door.

  Zhu Biao was not polite, and sat directly on Li Shanchang's chair and said, "Aren't you going to take care of this noisy Xiangguo?"

Li Shanchang poured Zhu Biao a cup of tea, then sat on a chair beside him and said: "It's better to be noisy, Zhongshu Sheng has slept for too long, and he should have been whipped a few times long ago. It's just that it's all from the old ministers." It's not good for senior officials to be too harsh on disciples and old officials.”

  Zhu Biao picked up the cup and blew: "Looking at Li Xiang, he really regards Hu Weiyong as his successor."

  Li Shanchang smiled: "I have selfish intentions, but Hu Weiyong is indeed a talented Wang Zuo, and there is no more suitable candidate than him in the Manchu Dynasty. Besides, he respects His Highness very much, and has praised you many times in front of the minister."

  Zhu Biao took a sip of the slightly bitter tea and said: "Except for the Huaixi people, I am afraid that there is no one who can convince the public as the prime minister."

  Li Shanchang also took a sip and said: "In fact, Liu Bowen is also qualified, but his temper is against the Holy One. If he really becomes the prime minister, I am afraid he will not end well."

  Zhu Biao glanced at Li Shanchang, and decided to say a few more words. Li Shanchang is not young, and he has made great contributions to Zhu tomorrow. Liu Bang killed many heroes, but he didn't kill Xiao He either.

  Zhu Biao intends to complete the friendship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shanchang as a monarch and minister, so that Li Shanchang can spend his old age in peace, not to mention that Li Shanchang is also Zhu Biao's father-in-law.

   Recently, I wrote with fear. An author in Jinjiang had a terrible death, and the online novels are under strict deadline again. I hope I can get through it safely.
