Zhu Yuanzhang, who asked for a monthly ticket, was annoyed and ashamed, trembled with anger, slapped the case, and roared angrily: "The officials of the Hanlin Academy protect each other, and they do not take justice as their heart, but protect each other.
The Criminal Department immediately arrested Zhang Xin, Liu Sanwu, and others and put them in prison for strict interrogation.
The result of Zhang Xin's review is invalid, and he will be personally approved by me to make a decision and retire from the dynasty."
Xia Xun watched coldly, saw all this in his eyes, and couldn't help but secretly sigh, no matter who is right and who is wrong on both sides, but this is the dispute between the Great Righteous Avenue, and Huang Zicheng and others are really not the same.
Zhu Yuanzhang angrily repelled the early dynasty, turned around and went to the Jinshen Palace, Xia Xun as a warrior on duty, he also went to the Jinshen Palace, and stood next to the palace corridor, there were two guards standing at the door, the posture was Xiuwei, the standing posture was straight, the eyes did not squint, the left was Xia Xun, and the right was his companion, called Cheng Jinyu.
After a while, I saw several small chamberlains running out quickly, presumably the emperor summoned people to discuss countermeasures, and the sky was gloomy at this time, exactly the same as Zhu Yuanzhang's angry old face.
Xia Xun took a long breath, just attracted a fresh and moist smell to his heart, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a handsome little girl wearing paddy field clothes and combing double buns, leading a little girl who was less than four years old and wearing a white silk jacket, giggling and coming out of the flowers, covering her head with her hands, and running down to the palace corridor.
Xia Xun swept his eyes and saw the two people running over, the playful little girl in paddy field clothes was the little county lord of Ming'er.
The little county lord wore a three-color satin paddy field jacket, tied a white sweat scarf, and underneath it was an indigo-blue sprinkled trousers, with loose trouser legs, and a pair of small boots on his feet.
There are still a few drops of rain on the face that is as white as jade and as clean as porcelain, and another little girl in a white silk jacket is pink and tender, with a pair of big black and white eyes that are also very cute, and she is holding a little sugar man made of maltose in her hand, regardless of the rain, and licking it all at once.
Xia Xun is the guard of the Son of Heaven at the moment, guarding the door of the Son of Heaven, standing there no matter who enters or exits, there is no need to salute, the problem is that Ming'er does not plan to enter the house, as soon as she saw Xia Xun, she stood up, and said with great interest: "Aha, I heard the third brother say, you entered the palace on an errand, I can't imagine that it is true." ” When people took the initiative to talk to him, it was not good for him to continue to pretend to be a stake, so Xia Xun had no choice but to owe and said: "Yang Xu, a third-class officer with a knife in the avant-garde of the government army, has seen the county lord. ” Ming'er pointed to the little girl next to her who was blinking at him: "This is Princess Baoqing." ” Xia Xun was taken aback: "The princess didn't see that Lao Zhu was so old that he was still fierce in bed, and he actually had such a young daughter." ” Xia Xun hurriedly bowed again: "Yang Xu, the third-class sword officer of the avant-garde of the government army, has seen Princess Baoqing. ” Princess Baoqing looked at him curiously, turned her head and asked Ming'er, "Sister, who is he?"
Ming'er laughed eatingly: "He, his biggest ability is to be able to speak, he can say that the dead are alive, the black is white, and the square is round, and he tricked you into selling it, and you also helped him count the money, you said that he is not powerful" Princess Baoqing's eyes lit up, she looked at Xia Xun, generously handed over the sugar man in her hand, and said in a milky voice: "Here you go." ” Xia Xun looked embarrassed, but the princess is a king, he is a minister, the king has a gift, so he can't help but take it, so he has to take it embarrassedly, and the little princess said in a milky voice: "You eat" "Eat aunt and grandma, it's all over your saliva, okay?"
Xia Xun looked at Cheng Jinyu who was standing opposite with a bitter face, Cheng Jinyu was also a meritorious hero, and he didn't feel strange to see that he knew the little county lord of Zhongshan Palace, seeing such a scene, he couldn't help but want to laugh, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he quickly held back.
Ming'er also covered her mouth and snickered, waiting to see him laugh.
When the little princess saw that he didn't move, she said very strangely, "You eat." ” "Oh, the ministers obey."
Xia Xun put his sleeve in front of him, took the opportunity to stuff the sugar into the sleeve, and as soon as the sleeve was put down, the little princess's eyes widened and said in surprise: "What about the sugar?"
Xia Xun blinked, spread his hands and said, "Eat." ” The little princess exclaimed, "Eat, so fast" Xia Xun said: "The minister's mouth is big, and he won't have a mouthful." ” The little princess was so young that her confidence was true, so she smiled and said, "Tell a story" "It's not for nothing to drink the little princess's things, and you have to pay a price, such a young girl is so fine."
Xia Xun looked back, bent down and whispered: "Shh, the emperor is handling state affairs inside, be quiet, it's not good for the emperor to hear it." ” The little princess is Zhu Yuanzhang's old daughter, very favored, and she is not as afraid of her father as other princes and princesses, and she is too young now, class, dignity, and authority have not yet taken shape in her childlike heart, how can she ignore Xia Xun's intimidation, and stubbornly pull his sleeve and say loudly: "You eat candy, tell stories and tell stories" Xia Xun was helpless, squatted down and coaxed and deceived, where was the little princess willing to listen, Ming'er on the side relieved the siege and said: "Okay Baoqing, don't make trouble, my sister will tell you in a while."
By the way, why did the emperor go down to the court so early today, did anything big happen?"
Xia Xun smiled bitterly: "Yes, something big did happen, which made the emperor very angry."
That group of respectable and hateful people, forget it, national affairs, let's not talk about it so much, seeing that the rain is going to fall heavily, please take the little princess back to the harem to play, and the ministers will come to discuss the matter in a while, and it is not appropriate to see you here. ” He didn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang vaguely heard the childish voice, like his baby daughter, so he left the imperial case, walked out of the hall, and just walked to the door, and happened to hear this sentence.
Hearing him say the word "respectable", Zhu Yuanzhang's eyebrows, which were gray but still as cool as knives, immediately stood up, and when he heard the word "hateful" again, his expression suddenly eased again.
Although Cheng Jinyu on the side saw the emperor come out, he was silent when he made a gesture.
Xu Ming'er heard that a foreign minister came to see the emperor, so she took the little princess's hand and smiled at Xia Xun: "Baoqing is very clingy, I helped you again this time."
As he spoke, he coaxed Princess Baoqing to tell her a story and led her to the harem.
Sent away these two difficult little girls, Xia Xun stood up, just returned to work and stood still, suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhu Yuanzhang standing quietly in the door, couldn't help but startle, and hurriedly bowed down to salute: "Your Majesty" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him coldly, turned around and said, "Come in with me." ” Xia Xun followed behind nervously, not knowing what Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to do, the master in front of him said that killing people would kill people, who knew which of his words was inappropriate, and he would be angry.
Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the chair and sat down, closed his eyes to rest for a while, slowly opened his eyes again, and said, "You just said that they are respectable and hateful, hehe, what does this mean to tell me." ” Xia Xun was really a little scared, and snorted: "Your Majesty, Weichen is a martial artist, shouldn't he be."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled faintly: "You are a martial artist, and you are also a talent, I am very bored in my heart, tell me your opinion, and relieve my boredom, no matter what you say, I will forgive you for your innocence." ” Xia Xun was still hesitating, and Zhu Yuanzhang glared unhappily: "Hmm" Xia Xun felt a pang in his heart, so he had to bite the blue and say: "Yes, Weichen thinks that Liu Sanwu, Zhang Xin and other adults insist on the fairness of the scientific examination and the selection of scholars by their achievements, even if they are under the authority of the emperor, they still do not flinch, they are loyal, and they insist on the avenue, this is a loyal minister, regardless of their own interests, which is respectable." ” Zhu Yuanzhang's face was not displeased, and he said lightly: "Go on." ” Xia Xun looked at his face and responded: "Yes, but they only keep their own way, regardless of the way of the world."
It is unwise to focus only on the present and not to care about the long-term way, so it is hateful. ” Zhu Yuanzhang's expression moved, and he asked, "How to say it?"
Xia Xun hesitated for a moment and said: "The emperor personally ordered the re-reading of the papers, and the review officials still insisted on the original admission list, which shows that the examiner has not cheated for personal gain.
However, there is a reason why the test papers of the northern juzi are not as good as those of the southern juzi, as Lord Liu Sanwu said.
The northerners were ruled by the Jin and Yuan people for more than 200 years, and they did not practice education, and they were also poor in the south, and they were not familiar with scientific research skills.
If Liu Sanwu and Zhang Xin can perceive the holy will and admit a few northern scholars, it will not only calm the anger of the northern scholars and officials from the north, but also encourage the northern people to learn from the style, which is not a great benefit to the country and the people, but unfortunately they can't understand the emperor's painstaking efforts, and they only know how to talk about things, and can't look at the long-term and change things, so it's hateful. ” Zhu Yuanzhang heard that what he said was not true, in fact, his views were more than that, but from his standpoint, he could only mention this, there were some things that he couldn't say nonsense, so Zhu Yuanzhang didn't break it, just sighed: "The north is ruled by the Jin people and the Yuan people, and it has been nearly three hundred years, and it is not only the sage articles and poetry and etiquette that have fallen, but also the hearts of the people, and the lost hearts of the people, this is the most important thing."
Although I have been established for 30 years in the Ming Dynasty, but the northern scholars have been wandering in the hope of the people, how can the people's hearts be so easy to recover If the imperial examination becomes the imperial examination of the southerners, half of my country and half of the people are abandoned, they have no hope of entering the office, and they will inevitably deviate from morality, this, who will consider Shaanxi for me, has just made a mess, if the people's hearts have paid me the Ming, a few gods and men swaggered and deceived, how can they pull up a team of tens of thousands of people, occupy the mountains and make chaos In addition, the culture of the north is not as good as that of the south, and the economy of the north is not as good as that of the south, and if I cannot take into account the backwardness of the north for hundreds of years, and insist on putting them in a fair and equal situation with the southerners, it will be an injustice to them.
In the long run, the south will become more and more prosperous, the north will become weaker and weaker, and the gap between the north and the south will become wider and wider.
Zhu Yuanzhang patted the imperial case lightly and said indignantly: "Confucius said: Those who have a country and a family do not suffer from widowhood but inequality, and do not suffer from poverty but suffer from anxiety.
There is no poverty, no widowhood, and no inclination.
Why don't they understand this truth when they are stupid at reading?"
