I want to be a grandson

Chapter 225 The Double Reed With Zhu Yuanzhang

Zhu Yunxi saluted and said: "The emperor's grandson is on behalf of the scholars of the world, thank you for the grace of the emperor's grandfather!"

"Get up, let them remember."

"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty, Grandfather." Zhu Yunxi straightened up.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him and said: "There is nothing else, just go back to the court."

Zhu Yunxi bowed again and said, "I would like to report to His Majesty the emperor's grandfather, my grandson still has this performance."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and said with some displeasure, "Could it be because of those scholars? We have already forgiven them and will not pursue their offenses. What else do you have?"

The courtiers could tell that Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was a little displeased, and they thought Zhu Yunxi would retreat.

But I didn't expect that he was still standing there,

Everyone's hearts couldn't help but tugged again!

Zhu Yunxie said: "Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, these examinees have been studying for many years, only wanting to participate in the scientific examination to serve the court, and to obtain official positions to benefit the people, but they did not expect to be disturbed by rebels. This is really not what they wish... "

"Your Majesty, they have traveled hundreds of thousands of miles, even thousands of miles, to the capital, measuring the land with their feet step by step, and don't know how many pairs of shoes they have worn out...

"Besides, some of them are from poor families. I'm afraid that the board and lodging expenses for going to Beijing for the exam are years of savings. If you miss the imperial exam this time, you don't know if you will have to pay for the next time..."

Zhu Yunxi said enthusiastically: "So the emperor's grandson has the courage to beg the emperor's grandfather for mercy and re-admit the scholars!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, it seemed that the poor days of the scholars touched his heart.

He also said with emotion: "Yes, it's really not easy for these poor candidates..."

He raised his head and asked, "Ren Hengtai, you are the servant of the Ministry of Rites, what do you think of this matter?"

Ren Hengtai went out, glanced at His Highness King Wu secretly, saluted and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, although there were some twists and turns in the imperial examination, the examination questions were not leaked.

The test papers answered by the candidates are also of their own real standards. If they want to be re-admitted, they only need to read the test papers without bias, so Wei Chen thinks that he can be admitted. "

"Ah."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyes and glanced at Yang Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

Yang Jing walked out of the court very tactfully, yes, Zhu Yuanzhang bowed and saluted.

Then he opened his mouth and said to Ren Hengtai: "My lord, if the imperial court not only does not punish this year's candidates, but also recruits them again, will it encourage their arrogance?"

"This..." Ren Hengtai was speechless.

Because if he will be arrogant or indulgent, who can say?Who can be sure?

Just like later generations evade saying that you do not conform to the corporate culture, it is simply rejecting the saying that people are panacea!
Zhu Yunxie said: "Master Yang, don't worry. I believe that the candidates will only be grateful to the court and His Majesty, and will firmly remember the lesson of this time. They will be cautious in the future and dare not act casually."

Yang Jing bowed and saluted and said, "His Royal Highness Wu Wang said that the humble minister has been educated."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction, "Since His Highness the King of Wu has made such a request...then your Ministry of Rites will handle this matter properly, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Yes! I obey the order!" Ren Hengtai said in response to the order.

For some reason, when Zhu Yunxi heard Zhu Yuanzhang say that he "begged", he always felt that those two words were very heavy.

This made him very speechless!
Mr. Zhu, we just sang a double reed.

You don't really think that I'm giving in and I'm "begging" you, right?
It's all about acting.

You are serious!
It really hit the nail on the head!

If it's not about finding some fun on himself, Zhu Yuanzhang feels uncomfortable all over!
So Zhu Yunli's expression was a little stiff, and he saluted and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Grandfather..."

With a stiff expression and a helpless voice, Zhu Yunxie is sure that Zhu Yuanzhang is very satisfied with his expression!
After all, it can be seen from the smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face on the dragon chair...

Oh, forget it, you are so pitiful for an old man in his 60s, just satisfy your vanity!

After coming down to court, Yang Jing, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, approached Zhu Yunxi as soon as he came out of Fengtian Hall.

Yang Jing said: "I have seen His Highness, Your Highness, please stay."

Zhu Yunxi knew that he must have something to do with him, so he stopped and said politely: "Master Yang, you are welcome."

The courtiers bowed to Zhu Yunxi one after another, because they knew that the king of Wu had something to discuss, so they didn't dare to disturb, and they left after saluting.

And Zhu Yunxi also nodded politely to them.

When no one disturbed him, Yang Jing finally said: "His Royal Highness, I really have something hard to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not..."

Zhu Yunxi glanced at him, and thought in his heart, you have already talked about this, how can I not let you say it?
Wouldn't that be rude.

So he replied: "Your Majesty Yang, it's alright to speak out, but the Gu Wang wants to hear things that can make you unspeakable."

Yang Jing hesitated and said with some embarrassment, "I obeyed the order. Liu Sanwu, a Hanlin scholar, is the chief examiner of this imperial examination. He is now also imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but he did not say a word in the Ministry of Criminal Justice and refused to confess his crime..."

"Some officials suggested that he should be severely punished, but I feel that he is old, and it is hard to say whether he can survive the severe punishment. If he really dies in the Ministry of Punishment, I am afraid it will attract criticism..."

Yang Jing looked at Zhu Yunxi, saw that he was not surprised, and continued: "And Liu Sanwu is quite prestigious among scholars, if there is no statement from him, no signature and signature, I am afraid that some scholars will suspect that the imperial court has killed innocent people indiscriminately... "

Zhu Yunxi said: "It's really not appropriate to punish Liu Sanwu, and the veteran should give the veteran respect."

Seeing what he said, Yang Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and continued, "Your Highness, Liu Sanwu said he wanted to see you..."

Zhu Yunxi frowned and said, "Why did he see me?"

In historical records, it was because of Liu Sanwu's words that Zhu Yuanzhang was determined to establish a grandson.

So no matter what, Liu Sanwu also helped him indirectly.

Convicting the examiners as Hu Weiyong's remnants of rebellion against the party is actually just an excuse to divert the conflict.

Besides, he is a rotten Confucian who followed the teachings of the sages, and he didn't really have any bad intentions.

Under such circumstances, it is okay to be kind to Liu Sanwu.

It's just that I have never interacted with him, and Zhu Yunqi said that he was the chief examiner, so if I really want to count, he is still my opponent.

What did he ask himself for?

Yang Jing replied: "Returning to Your Highness, Liu Sanwu didn't tell my minister the reason for asking for an interview."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and didn't continue to ask questions. Presumably Liu Sanwu had something to hide when he wanted to see him.
