Qian Shangshu was imprisoned, and the incident involving the nine clans soon spread to Zhu Di's ears.
During the days when he was banned, he had been thinking of ways to regain Zhu Yuanzhang's favor, and he had also put in a lot of effort secretly.
But it has always been to no avail.
"Your Majesty, we have gathered a lot of information outside. Now the underground has paid great attention to many people outside."
"On the contrary, they treat us indifferently. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to gain His Majesty's favor in the future."
The people around Zhu Di began to give him advice.
After all, he has reached this point now. If he doesn't plan well, he may be abandoned by Zhu Yuanzhang in the future.
Even if he wants to be an idle prince, he doesn't even have any prestige in Yingtian Mansion.
Then I will definitely be disliked by the people around me in the future.
Zhu Di felt his scalp numb as he listened. He frowned slightly, remembering what Zhu Han had told him before.
No matter how you are in Yingtian Mansion, you only need to consolidate your position more and more to get Zhu Yuanzhang's attention.
Zhu Di stood up slowly.
"It seems that this matter has spread in Yingtian Mansion, and everyone is thinking about who is behind Qian Shangshu."
"You are so overestimating your ability to start throwing shit at me. Today is the last day of the confinement. I will prepare some gifts tomorrow. I want to see the emperor."
The men under his command did not dare to delay, so they quickly went to prepare.
At this time, Zhu Di had his own plan in mind.
He looked at these days in his study, the books Zhu Yuanzhang asked himself to read.
Among them, brothers, friends, Gong, and the world of Ming Dynasty were almost Zhu Yuanzhang's last expectations for him.
In order to gain Zhu Yuanzhang's appreciation, Zhu Di was now desperate.
Zhu Di never thought that Zhu Yuanzhang had already spotted his strength.
Now I just want him to have his own arrangements in Yingtian Mansion.
It is absolutely impossible for Zhu Di to admit defeat like this.
Even if there is no way to compete with Zhu Biao, his position in Yingtian Mansion cannot be shaken.
At the same time, Zhu Han and Zhu Biao were already making preparations.
In the past few days, they have been busy with the imperial examination, and many scholars have been able to obtain their protection.
Under the protection of Zhu Han, Wang An and others have now begun to prepare to participate in the imperial examination.
"I will be the chief examiner of this imperial examination, and the emperor's uncle will be the deputy examiner. It seems that this imperial examination can actually allow students to regain their previous achievements."
A smile appeared on Zhu Biao's face. Zhu Han attached great importance to this imperial examination in order to select more outstanding talents for the imperial court as soon as possible.
Zhu Yuanzhang also specifically ordered that during the imperial examination, students should be given the most scheduled time.
Those students who were implicated can return to the examination room, and those who are related to the fraud case naturally have no easy way out.
Not only were they disqualified from the imperial examination, they were also expelled from the imperial examination and were not allowed to take part in the imperial examination again for five years. This was a huge punishment for them.
"Your Highness, as long as you can understand the imperial examination this time, the most important thing is to let the students know that their current imperial examination is hard-won."
"Among the selected talents, there will not be any differences between students from the north and the south."
Zhu Han's words made Zhu Biao nod his head repeatedly.
He and Zhu Han also learned a lot from this imperial examination.
Zhu Han was able to control all the imperial examinations, so that the students could get their own arrangements.
Ordinary people simply can't do it.
This made Zhu Biao even more convinced that Zhu Yuanzhang's importance to Zhu Han was never in vain.
"Uncle Emperor, you can take part in the imperial examination again at the beginning of next month. The students are discussing whether the examination questions this time will be more severe than before."
In fact, Zhu Biao has always been aware of his arrangements for his students.
He also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to the imperial examination, which was obvious.
If any arrangements appear during the imperial examination, many scholars may lose confidence in the imperial court in a short time.
This time, the imperial examination re-selected talents, on the one hand, it was also to make up for the lack of official positions.
Many officials in the court have been implicated because of Qian Shangshu's affairs.
Some of them had already been demoted from Yingtian Mansion, and many official positions in the court were vacant.
It is necessary to find a group of people among these outstanding students who are not only knowledgeable and knowledgeable, but also do not have excessive requirements for official positions.
They can use what they have learned to contribute to the country and the country.
"His Royal Highness, you should also understand the importance of the imperial examination, which is to be understood by students all over the world."
"When taking the imperial examination, they can spare no effort to work hard for their dreams."
Zhu Han told Zhu Biao.
In fact, the reason why he and Zhu Yuanzhang have reached this point is not only their desire to let the people live a good life.
What's more important is that there will definitely be many students like them.
Thinking of the common people in the imperial examination is the most critical step for them to stand out in science.
"Your Highness, you may refer to the rules of virtue and responsibility in the Four Books and Five Classics."
"In the imperial examination, students can also speak freely. The articles they write can naturally give them a way out,"
Zhu Han suggested to Zhu Biao that he could change the previous questions for this imperial examination.
When Zhu Biao heard Zhu Han's words, his eyes lit up. In the past, when recruiting scholars with stereotyped writing, many students would actually miss the opportunity.
The students are rich in knowledge, they can have their own ideas in the imperial examination, and then they can think about the country, the country and the country in the future.
He instantly understood Zhu Han's good intentions.
"What the emperor said is indeed correct. As long as these students are capable, they will be valued by the emperor and they will stand out when they participate in the imperial examination."
Zhu Han attached great importance to Zhu Biao.
His words awakened the dreamer, making Zhu Biao even more confident about this imperial examination.
The news of the resumption of the imperial examination has spread to many students in Yingtian Mansion, and they are all extremely happy.
"After a month, I was finally able to take the imperial examination again. There will be no more imperial examination fraud in the future. This is really thanks to His Royal Highness."
"The strength of His Royal Highness cannot be underestimated."
"When he accompanied His Majesty on a private visit incognito, he had already thought about improving the imperial examination. This time, more students will be able to embark on an official career."
"In this way, those who serve as officials in the future will be able to start from the common people, and the common people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment, and the Ming Dynasty will be more stable..."
The students of Yingtianfu are actually very confident about this imperial examination.
They all understood that in the imperial examination, only those who can truly stand out can gain Zhu Yuanzhang's attention.
During this imperial examination, they all began to prepare with all their heart.
When Zhu Han returned home, he saw Ge Rong studying hard in his room.
Seeing Ge Rong's serious look, Zhu Han also had high hopes for him.
"I didn't expect you to study so hard now. You want to become more flexible in the books you read, instead of just studying hard..."
Upon hearing Zhu Han's words, Ge Rong stood up quickly and bowed to Zhu Han respectfully.
Seeing the smile on Zhu Han's face, I silently admired him in my heart.
"Your Majesty is indeed right. If you can read the book thoroughly, you will be able to understand how to behave in the book."
Zhu Han was impressed by Ge Rong's ability to read the book so carefully. Zhu Han picked up the book in his hand, took a look at it, and closed it slowly.
"Since you have read so many books now, I will give you a test today."
Ge Rong immediately looked at Zhu Han seriously, waiting for Zhu Han to test him.
Zhu Han wrote the word "天下" on the paper with his pen.
"Use the knowledge you have learned to explain to me how this world can become more stable."
This is also the result that Zhu Yuanzhang has always hoped to get. The Ming Dynasty can develop more and more in his hands, which Zhu Yuanzhang has always attached great importance to.
When he made the arrangement, he wanted to make his position supreme and completely wash away the humiliating history, and did not want the people to live in dire straits again.
Ge Rong stepped forward and took a look at the words mentioned by Zhu Han.
He thought for a moment, then looked at Zhu Han seriously, and said what he was thinking.
"The Ming Dynasty has indeed developed well over the years, but if we want to truly stabilize it, we still haven't done enough."
His words made Zhu Han more interested. Zhu Han raised his chin towards him, indicating that Ge Rong could continue.
Ge Rong quickly continued to speak.
In his opinion, it is easy for the people to live and work in peace and contentment in today's world, but it is naturally not a minority in future arrangements that can truly enable them to live a good life.
Among them, the people live and work in peace and contentment, foreign enemies dare not invade, and the army becomes stronger and stronger, which is the foundation of the country.
Without exception, these are all focused on money.
"In my opinion, as long as the national treasury is full and the food and grass reserves are complete, all the generals in the army will be brave and good at fighting."
"Even if they really go to the battlefield in the future, they will be able to defeat the enemy with their own strength and promote the prestige of our Ming Dynasty."
Ge Rong said, slowly looking at Zhu Han, who bowed slightly.
"The foundation of a country is to be able to truly gain a foothold in the government. Only when the treasury and businessmen do business together can the business get better and better."
Among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, the status of merchants was the lowest.
There are many things where they can really make money.
In the treasury, they have always belittled businessmen.
But no matter what, as long as the merchants make money, they can pay more and more taxes to the national treasury, making the Ming Dynasty richer.
Ge Rong's words made Zhu Han look at him with admiration.
Zhu Han sat on the chair and looked at Ge Rong with interest, his eyes filled with admiration.
"It's indeed extraordinary that you can have such insight at such a young age, but I want to gain a foothold in Yingtian Mansion in the future."
"It is not only about having an upright heart, but also slowly improving the status of the people. What you mentioned is about agriculture, industry and commerce. I think there is a big way out."
Ge Rong was a little embarrassed to be praised by Zhu Han.
He indeed had the same idea. Many officials in the DPRK and China were angry that he could only maintain their own expenses.
If they want to have more money, they must engage in some side businesses, but it is too late for the government to handle their official duties, so why do they have the thought to do business?
Zhu Han suddenly thought that his Donghai Chamber of Commerce's business in Jiangnan and Datong Prefecture was becoming more and more prosperous.
The real purpose is to make money for Daming.
Whether Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to recruit troops or expand the army's food and fodder, he must be fully prepared.
If the people solve their difficulties, the national treasury will definitely give them a helping hand. If you think about it, there will be no more crises for them.
"You are indeed right. Study hard. I am very optimistic about you. I believe you can become the pillar of the country in the future."
What Zhu Yuanzhang valued most was that there would be many students with their own ideas in Yingtian Mansion.
Not only can they think about the people of the world, but more importantly, they must have a sincere heart.
When governing the world, it is best for the plans of the onlookers to become stronger and stronger in their hands.
Ge Rong's thoughts made Zhu Han have a lot of expectations for him.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, you saved my life. In the future, I also want to have my own place in the court, and I will definitely be able to help Your Majesty in the future."
Zhu Han laughed loudly. He stood up and took a look. Ge Rong smiled meaningfully.
Then he turned and left.
Ge Rong looked at Zhu Han's back and suddenly felt that something was wrong with what he just said.
After all, Zhu Han was Zhu Yuanzhang's most trusted younger brother. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang became the Nine-Five Supreme, he never suppressed Zhu Han.
There is still this kind of affection between the two brothers.
What I just said was indeed a bit irregular.
Zhu Han didn't take Ge Rong's words to heart.
When he returned to the study, he saw He Fengyu sorting out the account books sent by Zhang Fengnian from Datong Mansion.
The medicinal material business above has gradually flourished under Zhang Fengnian's arrangement, and it is easy to make a fortune every day.
He Fengyu held the account book in one hand and fiddled with the abacus in the other.
He didn't notice when Zhu Han came in. Seeing the densely packed accounts in the account book, Zhu Han felt much relieved.
"It seems that settling accounts is really a technical job. Originally, this was what bothered you the most, but now you want to look at these account books."
Zhu Han attaches great importance to each of his students. He Fengyu felt a little embarrassed when he heard Zhu Han's words.
He held the account book in his hand, which had been marked carefully.
If there were any loopholes in the business of several of these stores, he would be able to find the problem immediately.
Helping Zhu Han settle accounts this time was also Zhang Fengnian's suggestion.
"Master, you don't know something. Zhang Fengnian and I made a bet before."
""The business of medicinal materials will definitely not be taken seriously, but I didn't expect that he would make money now, so he handed the account book to me and wanted to torture me and make me praise him for making all this money on his own."
