Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 431 Restructuring the Imperial Academy

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Su talking with a smile on his face.After finally finding an opportunity to interject, he joked with a smile: "These scholars who study Neo Confucianism have always had a tradition of gathering at the Temple of Confucianism."

"You are not afraid of making things big, and you are not worried about those gentlemen and students running to the Confucian Temple in a fit of anger, or simply resigning all of them? At that time, you will become a naked sacrificial wine, and I will wait for Zhu's father and son." , will become a joke."

"Cut." Zhu Su dismissed Zhu Biao's joke, "Weeping Temple can cry when it likes to cry, Confucius can still crawl out and accept me? Besides, our father is not as soft-boned as Emperor Zhao Song, he can still Allow these scholars to bully his son?"

"It would be better if I resigned. I just want to recruit more children from poor families to replace the Guozijian. Most of the current students of the Guozijian are famous Confucian scholars and high officials. These people have dirty buttocks..."

"As for Mr....hehe, I'm here to look for you, brother." Zhu Su showed a flattering expression. "Brother, the cabinet you are in charge of now has a lot of talents, so let me borrow some of them to be the first teachers."

"My father is Emperor Hongwu, and my elder brother is the current prince. Could it be possible that those rotten scholars can really bully me?"

It is really difficult to find some Confucian scholars who are not old-fashioned, have real talents, and can be practical, but Zhu Su has long set his sights on Zhu Biao.Under Lao Zhu's deliberate selection, most of the newly established cabinet ministers are young scholars from poor families, such as Wu Bozong, Guo Chong, Wu Gongda, etc., all of whom were young scholars who passed the first imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty.There are also Luo Furen, Daotong, etc. who were certified by Zhu Su and left a clean name in history.

The common feature of these people is that they were all favored by the old Zhu Daen, or were hand-picked Jinshi, or promoted by the bottom, and all of them were diehard loyalists of the Zhu family.Moreover, they are all great talents, and they are not inferior to those old scholars when it comes to moral articles.All three of them are practical. After all, the cabinet is under Lao Zhu's nose. If they are not good enough, they will definitely be kicked out by Lao Zhu.

Such a cabinet is simply the natural teacher resource bank of the Guozijian.

"I knew you came looking for me, you must be uneasy and kind! It turned out that you put your idea on the cabinet." Zhu Biao scolded with a smile, but he also knew Zhu Su's kindness. long way to go.Let the people in the cabinet teach the Guozijian, and these students from the Guozijian will undoubtedly become a great help to the cabinet officials in the future.

The cabinet has more power to speak, and he, the prince, can better control the power of the government.

Moreover, isn't this his younger brother expressing his firm support for his elder brother?

He looked at Zhu Su with warm eyes, and then said: "It's okay to let the people in the cabinet teach. I will ask my father for instructions later. As long as he agrees, I will be fine. But you still need to master it yourself. Anyway, all the cabinet officials are busy people, so it is impossible to seriously manage the affairs of the Imperial College. You still need to find a highly respected student to help you lead the Imperial College."

"Subjects like arithmetic, I plan to let Yun Gong, Jing Long, and Shou Qian teach for a while." Zhu Su said. "The so-called masters are teachers. Although they are young, when it comes to these practical subjects, they are several steps ahead of those Confucian scholars."

"As for Xuezheng... I plan to invite Master Song Lian to come out of the mountain, how about it?"

"Master Song?" Zhu Biao frowned, thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "Master Song is old, and the Guozijian's affairs are exhausted, and I'm afraid it can't be overwhelmed."

"Brother, I have a suggestion here. What do you think, how about sincerity?" Zhu Biao's eyes flashed brightly.

"Sincerity?" Zhu Su was taken aback.

"Sincerity...isn't he always the leader of the Qingliu? Let him be the Xuezheng of the Xin Guozijian...can this be done?" Zhu Su was skeptical.

Liu Bowen is indeed the best candidate, and his prestige is sufficient.But he has always been a banner figure who leads the Qingliu lineage and opposes the Huaixi lineage of Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang. Although this person has a high historical evaluation, Zhu Su always feels that he cannot see through this person.

Presumably my old man had the same opinion when he met Liu Bowen, right?
"Hehe, fifth brother, although you are smart, you are always suspicious." Zhu Biao shook his head and said. "Sincerity is not fighting for one's own strength. He is not some Qingliu, but Qingliu is just acting in his name in order to fight for power and profit."

"Let's just trust Brother Wei once. From Brother Wei's point of view, Liu Chengxin is the only one who can learn from the Imperial College."

Seeing Zhu Biao's determination, Zhu Su also agreed.The struggle between the court and China is not his specialty, but Zhu Biao, as the prince that the old Zhu likes very much, he should have a clear understanding of these power struggles and party struggles.

And... Thinking of Li Shanchang whom he saw that morning at court, Zhu Su felt that it would not be bad to bring Liu Bowen to the Imperial College.

If Liu Bowen only made Zhu Su doubtful, then, as Hu Weiyong's teacher, Li Shanchang, who had many bad deeds in history, is a scourge that must be guarded against in Zhu Su's eyes.

"Let's not talk about that for now." Zhu Biao smiled and turned the topic over. "This afternoon, the army that went to conquer Yunnan is about to return. Brother Wei will go out of the city to meet him later. I wonder if you want to come with me, fifth brother?"

"Huh?" Zhu Su was delighted. "Brother Mu Ying is going to the capital?"

"Come, come, come, you must come!" He stood up excitedly, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Why hasn't anyone told me about this? I only found out now!"

"You have been so busy with the Imperial College these days, who dares to disturb you with this matter?" Zhu Biao laughed. "Since you're going, let someone quickly change into your prince's robe."

"Welcome the expeditionary soldiers for the country, and you can't ignore it at will."

……

After changing into the heavy prince's robe at the prince's mansion, Zhu Su directly rubbed against the frame of the prince's Zhu Biao.When he was walking to the city gate, he bumped into Yan Wang Zhu Di who was leaving the city with a few Jinyi guards.Ask him what's important, and he is going to meet Mu Ying too.

"Brother Muying fought such a wonderful battle in the south, I will definitely go to ask for details, and learn from it by the way!" Zhu Di said confidently.Zhu Su rolled his eyes when he heard this, and in broad daylight, he took the troops of the Jinyiwei and went out of the city grandly in the official uniform of the Jinyiwei. This is a blatant skipping work with pay!
Think about the three brothers who were appointed officials that day, the fourth brother Zhu Di served in the Jinyiwei military, and he had no imperial orders on weekdays, so he was just an idle job.Old Zhu didn't have time to pay attention to him, and Mao Xiang, the leader of Jinyiwei, didn't dare to take care of him. He lived a free and comfortable life, and he was able to swagger around the market with an Xiuchun knife in his hand; A group of old scholars stayed together, and they just went to answer questions every day and it was over. The rest of the time was either to hang out with Luo Guanzhong, a great novelist who came to the capital, or go to the Imperial College to pester himself, the fifth younger brother, to listen. Martial arts story book.

I was the only one who sacrificed wine to the Guozijian, who worked hard to dig out the corners of Confucianism, and devoted himself to the work of reorganizing the Guozijian. He was obviously the most vulgar among the brothers, but he became the busiest person again.

Zhu Su had no choice but to sigh again that he was born to work hard.
