After Zhu Biao finished writing, he checked it again and then handed it to Liu Jin to be sent to the imperial study.
Yesterday, after the court meeting, the first imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty began. First, the provincial examination was held in the local area, and then those with excellent results could directly enter the capital. Now there is an urgent need for talents, and there is no time to wait for them to pass the exams one by one.
Zhu Yuanzhang also attached great importance to this imperial examination, so he asked Prime Minister Zuo Li Shan to be the director of the examination and Song Lian, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, to take the examination.
In fact, according to his status, Li Shanchang should be the examiner, but Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Song Lian.
Zhu Biao was relatively free. Although he was not appointed, Zhu Yuanzhang also ordered him to proctor the exams with Li Shanchang, so that students could see me, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.
In order to welcome the students who came to take the exam, the Ministry of Industry was also ordered to build the Enke Hall examination room and ordered it to be completed as soon as possible.
After Zhu Biao finished his meal, he sat in the Wenhua Hall and read a book. He thought for a while and said, "Liu Jin, go and call Quan Xu."
Liu Jin accepted the promise and left. Zhu Biao was very satisfied with Quan Xu. Although Quan Xu was promoted this time, he was not awarded any title. Based on Quan Xu's merits, it was not an exaggeration to be granted the title of Duke. After all,
He is Zhu Biao's personal military commander and a hero.
But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't award him a reward, and Zhu Biao didn't say anything to him, just to see if Quan Xu's character would make him complain about his superiors despite his great achievements but no reward.
After a while, Quan Xu came in and knelt down on one knee: "General, I will see you, Your Highness!"
Zhu Biao waved his hand and asked him to stand up: "Quan Xu, do you want to understand why you are not knighted?"
Quan Xu clasped his fists and replied: "Your Highness, General Mo, has no thought. General Mo only knows what he should do. As for the title, he will naturally leave it to the arrangements of His Majesty and His Highness.
Zhu Biao stood up and walked next to him and said, "That's good. Don't be anxious. My father and I have great expectations for you. Don't let it down."
Quan Xu's resolute face straightened up and he said: "I will be loyal to the death!"
Zhu Biao looked at him and said: "The casualties in the pro-army Duwei Mansion are a bit heavy. The Holy One intends to expand its scale. You can lead your people to see Mao Xiang, the commander of the pro-army Duwei Mansion. There will be no news about this palace in the future.
There is no need for you to come again, please concentrate on serving the Lord."
After hearing this, Quan Xu knelt directly at Zhu Biao's feet, and then solemnly said "Promise"!
Zhu Biao glanced at Quan Xu's back. He was a good player, and Zhu Biao was a little reluctant to give up. But he had nothing to do now. Instead of letting Quan Xu stand guard in the East Palace every day, he might as well go back to the pro-military captain's mansion to get some exercise.
This is what Zhu Yuanzhang meant. Zhu Biao naturally knew what his father was thinking. He wanted to cultivate a perfect spy leader for him.
It will also be convenient for Quan Xu to help Zhu Biao take over this large organization in the future. Although Zhu Biao does not know the specific configuration of the pro-military Duwei Mansion, does he still not know the power of Jin Yiwei in the future?
Xu Da has also begun to return the troops to the court. Chang Yuchun still needs to stay in Peiping for a while. It would be good to come back when Zhu Biao gets married.
The wedding is in September, which is more than three months away, and the etiquette department has already started planning it.
What Zhu Biao is paying attention to every day now is the struggle between Hu Weiyong and Yang Xian, both of whom are now eyeing Li Shanchang's position.
As Li Shanchang's disciple, Hu Weiyong naturally had a slight advantage, but Yang Xian was sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to check and balance, so with the emperor behind his back, he was not afraid of them.
There are also neutral factions, such as Zhang Chang, who was an official in the previous dynasty and was very knowledgeable and capable. Zhu Yuanzhang also liked him quite a lot, so Yang Xian made good friends with him and wanted to fight against Li Shanchang's faction together.
All the trouble has been known to both the government and the public. Zhu Biao felt itchy and unbearable, but it was a pity that he had not yet come to an end.
Zhu Biao has been very honest recently. Zhu Yuanzhang did not give him any arrangements. Zhu Biao has completed his studies, and Zhu Di has continued his study career.
Although Zhu Biao was a little bored, he did not take the initiative to seek help from his father. Those who achieve great things must be able to endure loneliness. Just like Quan Xu, he made great contributions but did not get the reward he deserved. He could not endure it anymore.
, do what you should do conscientiously, no one will dislike such a person.
The same was true for Zhu Biao. Zhu Yuanzhang was also watching him to see if he was starting to get carried away and whether he could endure loneliness.
A few days later, Zhu Biao was invited to the imperial study. When he entered the room, he saw Yang Xian covering his face and kneeling on the ground crying. Zhu Yuanzhang was also comforting him.
After Zhu Biao entered the room, he saluted his father, and then walked to stand next to Zhu Yuanzhang. Yang Xian saw Zhu Biao also put his hands covering his face on the ground and saluted Zhu Biao.
At this time, Zhu Biao saw clear slap marks on Yang Xian's dark face. Zhu Biao stretched out his hand to help her but said nothing.
Yang Xian got up and pointed at the red slap mark on his face and said: "Your Majesty, I cannot bear this humiliation. I am also a dignified official of the imperial court. I am a minister in the same palace as Hu Weiyong. He dares to beat me. I ask your Majesty to do this for me."
I make the decision!"
Zhu Yuanzhang comforted him and said: "We will definitely make the decision for you. Please stop crying. How can a dignified Minister of Zhongshu cry like this?"
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he shouted outside: "Mao Xiang, give Yang Xian's memorial to Liu Bowen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and ask him to deal with it severely according to the law. Don't be lenient!"
When Yang Xian heard this, he bowed his head to express gratitude to Zhu Yuanzhang, and then resigned.
When Yang Xian went out, Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the tea cup and laughed, and Zhu Biao also shook his head.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked his son to sit next to him and asked: "What do you think?"
Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and said: "On the surface, it seems that Hu Weiyong acted impulsively and dared to beat his colleagues in Zhongshu Province, but Er Chen felt that this was also planned by Yang Xian. He just wanted to deliberately anger Hu Weiyong and force him to make mistakes.
In this way, it will be difficult for Li Shanchang to promote Hu Weiyong to the position."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction: "This Yang Xian has a deep jealousy and will always use tricks to slander those who are not good enough for him. He is a person with a factional consciousness and a strong desire for power, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals."
Zhu Biao did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang had seen through Yang Xian so clearly, so he asked: "Since my father has seen through Yang Xian, why do you still need to reuse him?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You know what happened in Yangzhou, right? In just two years, the city of Yangzhou has changed rapidly. The refugees have returned to their hometowns and the towns have recovered. Large areas of land have been cultivated again. We have sent people to take a look. As long as there are no natural disasters, Yangzhou will be restored this year."
There will be a great harvest over there.”
Zhu Biao nodded and said: "It seems that Yang Xian is indeed capable, but it is very difficult to restore people's livelihood. Other state capitals have not recovered well, but Yang Xian has done well. I am afraid there is something fishy about it."
