Daming: Depriving Zhu Yunqi of luck at the beginning

Zhu Xiongying thought carefully about what Zhu Yuanzhang said to himself.

"Whether you can choose him or not depends on your ability."

This sentence is Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention.

Zhu Xiongying suddenly became enlightened, and said with a smile:

"Grandfather, please don't worry, as long as I see Xu Guan's answer sheet, I will definitely recognize it!"

Yes, this is what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to express, that is, the monarch and his ministers are of one mind, fully trust his ministers and use them correctly, instead of throwing all the responsibilities to the ministers.

"Okay." Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Zhu Xiongying did not disappoint him, so he went on to say, "But we only let you hand-pick the No.

He laughed:

"At that time, we can see whether it is Grandpa who is right or you who are right."

Zhu Xiongying vaguely felt that Zhu Yuanzhang still had other plans?

But he just coaxed Lao Zhu and said:

"That must be grandpa's judgment."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy.

……

The next day, the grand palace test finally began.

Three hundred examinees lowered their heads in the examination room outside the Fengtian Hall, waiting for the emperor to ask questions.

Zhu Yuanzhang personally planned for the court, and Zhu Xiongying was authorized to accompany him.

And Zhu Yuanzhang's topic was how to strengthen the defense of the frontier.

After a long wait, the answer sheets of Jinshi were handed over one after another.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Xiongying quickly checked the papers with the help of the examiners.

After a while, a test paper with neat and ancient font appeared in front of Zhu Xiongying, and the content on it made Zhu Xiongying's eyes shine.

Because the word science appeared on this test paper.

Although Xu Guan may not be the only examinee who has heard the word "science", but Zhu Xiongying is convinced that this is Xu Guan's test paper with the neat and clumsy handwriting and the word science!

But just in case, Zhu Xiongying read it patiently and read this passage:

"Gather the wisdom of the people, build science, develop agricultural machinery, liberate the labor force as combat power, make the people rich and the country strong, and the border safe."

Can't go wrong.

This is exactly what I and Xu Guan have conceived, but in order to conform to Zhu Yuanzhang's policy theory, I only talked about a small part of the scientific development.

Zhu Xiongying said:

"I have already selected someone for the champion of this year's palace examination."

Zhu Yuanzhang still reviewed the test paper carefully, nodded and said:

"Okay, then you go to rest first, we have to take a closer look at who the second pick is."

Seeing that it was still early, Zhu Xiongying changed into casual clothes and rode a black horse to relax outside the palace.

However, he did not walk aimlessly, but deliberately walked in the direction of the post where the vassal king was.

It was getting shorter and shorter before the feudal king left the capital.

Now is the time to say hello to them.

As soon as he arrived at the post house, he saw Jin Wang Zhu Yan sitting outside the post house to rest.

Zhu Xiongying took the initiative to go up and say hello: "Uncle Jin Wang."

Zhu Xun hurriedly got up and cupped his hands: "Emperor grandson...why did you come here?"

"I have something to say to you."

Zhu Yan only felt flattered. "Speaking."

"When you return to the fief, Uncle Wang, please send my regards to my cousins."

"Your Highness has a heart." Zhu Yan smiled slightly.

"In addition, I trust you from the bottom of my heart. You are definitely a virtuous king loyal to Daming, but..."

Zhu Xiongying made a fool of himself, seeing Zhu Yan raised his ears, he continued:

"Uncle Yan Wang is also a trustworthy feudal lord, please stop being hostile to him in the future, and cooperate with him more to assist me and deter northern Xinjiang."

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yan's expression was a little complicated.

"what happened?"

Zhu Xiongying asked, for this matter, I also have to get his personal promise.

Zhu Bing said:

"Thank you for your highness, I must obey, but I am not wary of the fourth child... I am not used to it yet."

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said:

"You will get used to it in the future, I just need your words."

Afterwards, Zhu Xiongying bid farewell to Zhu Yan, found Zhu Di in the posthouse, and said similar words.

Zhu Di is more generous than Zhu Fang in this respect, but he can't help complaining to Zhu Fang.

I just heard him say: "Everything His Highness said is exactly what I think, and I must obey, but I am afraid that the third child will not let me go so easily."

Zhu Xiongying said: "I already said to him..."

"In short, I know that although you two have conflicts, as far as I am concerned, you are both loyal ministers, and it must be good to be harmonious with each other."

Zhu Di nodded and said: "Since Your Highness said it, please rest assured, after all, we are all blood relatives, and we will never mess around again..."

"Furthermore, Daming is still unstable now. Not long ago, the remnants of Guyuan rebelled one after another because they were dissatisfied with the treatment given to them by the court..."

"If this continues, the war in the northern border may intensify, and I won't have time to take care of other things by then."

Zhu Xiongying secretly said:

"Compared to Zhu Di, Zhu Di is smarter and wiser. It is probably because Zhu Di was influenced by the luck of resourcefulness that I extracted... If Zhu Di can really understand the overall situation, it is better to return the luck of resourcefulness to him. "

So Zhu Xiongying bid farewell to Zhu Di again.

Just as he was going out, he met Zhu Di's guard commander Ma He.

Ma He has been missing for a while since the last time Mopanshan left.

And when he saw Zhu Xiongying, he greeted him very excitedly:

"Your Highness is a thousand years old!"

Zhu Xiongying patted Ma He on the shoulder and said:

"You're welcome, Commander Ma, you can be regarded as a meritorious person with me, and I am optimistic about you."

Ma He was taken aback.

Suddenly, the seeds that had germinated in his heart completely germinated at this moment.

A system prompt came from Zhu Xiongying's mind.

【Ding!It is detected that Ma He's loyalty is 80, and the system accepts him as his subordinate by default. 】

It turned out that Ma He had already been overwhelmed by Zhu Xiongying's brilliance and martial arts. If Zhu Di hadn't treated him well, he might have given his allegiance to Zhu Xiongying long ago.

Zhu Di on the side looked at the two of them with a curious look in his eyes, and thought to himself:

"Xiongying admires Mahe so much, maybe I can give Mahe to Xiongying as a token of loyalty?"

Chapter 289 Congratulations on winning a famous minister and bestowing the surname Zheng He

So, Zhu Di immediately said from behind:

"Ma He is favored by His Royal Highness, it is indeed Sansheng's fortune!"

Ma He also reacted, and quickly seconded:

"Thanks to His Highness for your love, Ma He has nothing to repay!"

"No reward?" Zhu Xiongying shook his head. "My fourth uncle thinks highly of you, which means you have potential. Don't underestimate yourself."

Zhu Di said: "Of course! Ma Henai was born as a prisoner of war and was tortured in the palace, but now he is only 21 years old, and he has already made a lot of military achievements, and he will become a great weapon in the future!"

After receiving the praise, Ma He looked at Zhu Di with moist eyes.

Seeing this, Zhu Xiongying secretly thought that Zhu Di must be very good to Ma He on weekdays, otherwise he would not be able to say such a thing.

Just listen to Zhu Di then say:

"Your Highness, if you are also optimistic about Ma He, I would like to let Ma He stay and serve His Highness."

"His Royal Highness King Yan!" Ma He was shocked. "You are..."

Zhu Di simply interrupted Ma He and said:

"Now you are fortunate to be appreciated by His Highness, if you don't take this opportunity to be loyal to Your Highness, don't you still plan to become a feudal lord with me?"

For a moment, Ma He was speechless. It is impossible to say that he is not moved by the opportunity to talk to the emperor's grandson.

Zhu Di cast his gaze over and asked, "Will Your Highness accept him?"

【Ding!Trigger hidden conditions!Ma He gets temporary luck: "Minister Candidate". 】

"Oh……"

Zhu Xiongying was a little surprised when he received the system prompt.

Presumably the situation this time is the same as when Jin Yiwei was selected as the guard last time.

In other words, if Zhu Di's request is agreed now, Ma He's future will be in his own hands.

I just need to say a word lightly...

perhaps……

Ma He will never become that Zheng He?

but.

As long as the ocean is still there, where will Ma He's fate go?

You must know that in this era, there are always very few talents who can lead the fleet!

and.

If Ma He can follow him, he can also be directly appointed as a eunuch, so as to further stabilize his team.

So how can you refuse such a good thing?

Zhu Xiongying said seriously:

"Ma He, I also want your help, are you willing?"

Zhu Di overjoyed to give Zheng He the color.

On the one hand, Ma He was extremely grateful to Zhu Di, and on the other hand felt extremely happy. He knelt down and cupped his hands to Zhu Xiongying and said:

"Biao Xia is willing to devote herself to His Royal Highness, the emperor's grandson, until she dies!"

Zhu Xiongying helped him up and said:

"Since you are so loyal, I will give you the surname Zheng again. I hope you can forget the grief of the past and start over."

Ma He... No, Zheng He was overjoyed and choked up speechlessly.

At this moment, a system prompt appeared in Zhu Xiongying's mind again.

【Ding!Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Minister of Industry, Zheng He. From now on, the fate of Zheng He will be completely determined by the host. 】

[Zheng He lost his luck talent "Emperor Candidate", and gained a new luck talent "Heavenly Envoy". 】

[Heavenly Envoy (Gold): Due to a special opportunity, this person has awakened his diplomatic talent. Those who possess this talent will have extraordinary charm in the process of interacting with people, and the stronger the empire, the greater its charm. 】

Zhu Xiongying was very happy to get Zheng He as a potential stock, and even if he took Zheng He away.
