Daming: Depriving Zhu Yunqi of luck at the beginning

"You all go out, I will talk to my grandson."

After everyone withdrew, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from his chair and said helplessly:

"Xiongying, take a look at these memorials."

Zhu Xiongying looked in the direction of his fingers, picked up a few memorials, flipped through them casually, and knew why Zhu Yuanzhang was depressed.

In this booklet, almost everything is written to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang not to rush to reopen the imperial examination.

Occasionally there is a paper that agrees with the imperial examination, and at first glance, the signatures are all petty officials.

It can be said that none of the high officials and ministers support the opening of the imperial examination now.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed with his hands behind his back:

"Unfortunately, Tiande is not in the capital."

"If he is here, he will definitely support me."

Zhu Xiongying put those memorials aside and said:

"What do you think, grandpa?"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said:

"What do you think? Of course it has to be done!"

"Those guys are just lazy!"

"Can we get used to them? If you receive our salary from the Ming Dynasty, you have to work hard for our Zhu family!"

"Telling them about this is just to inform them. Do you really think we need to discuss it with them? One by one, you can't work, and it's best to push your nose and face."

"Today's booklet advised us not to reopen the imperial examination. Let's write it down one by one, and we will settle the score in autumn!"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's scolding, Zhu Xiongying couldn't help saying:

Sure enough, it is you, Zhu Yuanzhang.

He also wrote down the names of the people one by one to settle accounts after autumn. Isn't it a bit stingy for the emperor to do this kind of thing?

But Zhu Xiongying definitely couldn't say that. After all, he himself provoked the resumption of the imperial examination.

"According to my grandson, grandpa is right."

"Those officials are used to the examination system. As the saying goes, they can get enough benefits from it. Naturally, they don't want to change to the imperial examination system."

"Moreover, the procuratorial system is easy to breed corruption, and officials and officials protect each other."

"Even if you're here, grandpa, they don't dare to be so arrogant. What about after hundreds of years? Did the monarch at that time have the courage of grandpa to make the officials dare not use their brains?"

"So the examination system must be changed, and the imperial examination system must be implemented."

"Whoever dares to object, just ignore it."

"As long as Grandpa Huang entrusts specific tasks to specific people, whoever fails to do a good job will be held accountable, and the imperial examination system for keeping grandchildren can be carried forward."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded again and again: "What my grandson said is exactly!"

"Anyway, we've made a decision on this matter. Let's go out for fun in two days, so we can see what the Jiangnan scholars have become like today."

"I hope to meet some sages... so that when you and your father are sitting in the mountains and rivers, there are also people who can be used."

Speaking of going out to play, Zhu Yuanzhang looked excited.

It's just that Zhu Xiongying has a sad face.

The assassination along the way is no joke!

However, this matter cannot be told to Zhu Yuanzhang in advance...

It can't be said that it is my sixth sense intuition, telling myself that there is an assassination, right?

Seeing Zhu Xiongying's face changed.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked with concern:

"what happened?"

"Who made my hero unhappy?"

Zhu Xiongying shook his head:

"No one messed with me..."

"By the way, Grandpa Huang, should we bring more troops when we go out this time?"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said nonchalantly:

"Why bring so many people?"

"We're going out this time for a private visit on Weibo. We're already tired of being followed by so many people every time we go out, making us uncomfortable."

"At that time, we will be among the guards of the army, just choose two skilled and clever ones to follow."

Zhu Xiongying didn't say any more.

He began to continue thinking about the possibility of using this matter to catch the Lu family's flaws.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying's preoccupation, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that his grandson was worried that he would suffer if there were not many people to serve him after he went out, so he comforted him with a smile:

"Don't worry, Xiongying, although we don't take anyone with us when we go out this time, as long as we bring enough money, we won't suffer much."

"Your grandpa, we still have some money in our private treasury."

In the middle of talking, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was smiling all over his face, seemed to think of something, hurriedly stopped his laughter, and reminded Zhu Xiongying:

"Heroes."

"Let's talk about it, grandpa and grandson."

"Don't tell your grandma about the private money..."

Chapter 30

After the grandfather and grandson finished approving the memorial this morning, they ate something casually, which was regarded as lunch.

Then, Zhu Xiongying accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang for a stroll in the Imperial Garden.

Halfway through the shopping, a young eunuch who looked young hurried over, saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Xiongying respectively, and said:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the daughter of the Founding Duke was called into the palace by the Empress, and she is playing nearby at this time, and wants to request to meet with His Majesty and His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson."

"Oh? Yinger is here? Then let her come over."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

This Ying Er, Zhu Xiongying thought for a while in her mind, and then remembered who it was...

Chang Ying, the daughter of the founding father Chang Mao.

It is also his cousin.

The two had often played together before, but after the death of the Crown Prince Yuan Concubine Chang, Lu did not allow Chang Ying to enter the palace to see her cousin.

Now, it's been a long time.

Soon.

A playful girl in a goose-yellow jacket trotted over all the way. When she saw Zhu Yuanzhang, she saluted with a smile and said:

"My concubine is always beautiful, and I have met His Majesty."

Then, he saluted Zhu Xiongying in a dignified way:

"I have seen Your Highness."

Zhu Xiongying said with a smile:

"You girl, I haven't seen you for a while, but you are more considerate in terms of etiquette. You don't need to be so polite when you see your cousin in the future, so as not to cause trouble."

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded and said:

"Ying'er, you haven't entered the palace for a long time, right? Well, you've grown up a lot, and you've become much better-behaved. It seems that your father taught you well at home."

Speaking of which, Chang Ying is only as old as Zhu Yunqi, and is still a child.

But in terms of etiquette, they have made great progress.

I think it must be that Uncle Chang Mao attaches great importance to etiquette education.

Zhu Xiongying asked:

"Where's uncle? Didn't you enter the palace?"

Chang Ying resumed her childish naughty state, ran over and put Zhu Xiongying's arm in her little hand and said:

"My father is a foreign minister, he is not allowed to enter the palace unless he is summoned."

"Ying'er was only summoned by the queen to enter the palace with her mother."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Xiongying with a smile:

"Last night, your grandma and I remembered that we hadn't seen the little sister of the Chang family for a long time, so we called into the palace today to have a look. It just so happens that your cousins ​​haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"

"When we meet, let's have fun together. This imperial garden is not small, enough for you to stroll around."

Just finished speaking.

Chang Ying couldn't wait to drag Zhu Xiongying to the depths of the imperial garden.

Seeing the two children running so happily, Zhu Yuanzhang burst into laughter for a while, and then said to the eunuchs and maids behind him:

"Don't be dazed, follow up."

"If something happens to my grandson and Yinger, you all don't come back."

The eunuchs and maids on the side listened to the order, and immediately quickened their pace, and followed them not too far away, for fear that something might happen to these two "little ancestors".

……

Zhu Xiongying and Chang Ying played for a while, and came to rest in an octagonal pavilion by a pond.

Although children are lively, they lack stamina after all.

Chang Ying climbed onto the stone bench in the pavilion while screaming and her legs were sore.

Seeing this, the following court ladies hurried forward, one supported Chang Ying, and the other began to massage Chang Ying's calf.

Seeing this, Zhu Xiongying smiled and said:

"Tell you to run slowly, if it weren't for my sharp eyesight and quick hands, you almost sprained your ankle just now..."

Chang Ying pursed her mouth and said:

"That can't be blamed on me, I didn't expect that there was one piece of stone missing."

"By the way, cousin, don't you get bored staying in the palace?"

"Although this imperial garden is big, it is still too small compared to the outside."

Zhu Xiongying said in his heart:

I also feel small, but what can I do, who made me the eldest grandson of the emperor.

He went up and touched Chang Ying's little head, and said:

"Maybe my cousin will have a chance to leave the palace in two days, maybe it's not certain?"

The fact that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and the emperor's eldest grandson are going out of the palace to play is still a secret, and only a few people know about it.

Of course, it would be a dream to expect this kind of thing to be kept secret for too long.

Moreover, Zhu Xiongying dared to guarantee that the Lu family and the Lu family must have known about it.

My unreliable father will definitely not be wary of Mrs. Lu.

So Zhu Xiongying spoke ambiguously.

Chang Ying shook her head and said:

"That's too pitiful. If you can be like Ying Er, cousin, you can go out if you want to go out."

Children's minds are relatively pure.

In Xiao Changying's view, Zhu Xiongying seemed to be trapped in a big cage, which was very pitiful.
