Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 559 Is Zhu Yuanzhang illiterate? (Subscribe please!)
As Zhu Biao finished speaking.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak again.

For a moment, Taile Palace became unusually quiet.

Zhu Biao and Empress Ma both looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, waiting for his statement.

"Father?"

After waiting for a while, Zhu Biao saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet expressed his opinion, so he immediately asked.

"kindness!?"

Zhu Yuanzhang came back from his thoughts and nodded slowly, "Biao'er, I understand the example you just gave. This also explains the confusion in my heart for many years."

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had always been wondering how Ouyang Lun built such a good road and what his basis was.

There are also tall buildings and steel.

Why did Ouyang Lun know that there would be no problem in doing it that way?

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was confused by what Zhu Biao said, he understood the general idea. It was nothing more than adding a bunch of things and mixing them under high temperature to get the desired raw materials. This was a bit similar to the alchemists making elixirs.

But it is obviously more sophisticated and more direct than the alchemists' theory of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, Zhu Biao's face lit up with joy, thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang would no longer blame him. However, when Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again, Zhu Biao felt uncomfortable.

"We have no objection to what Ouyang Lun said about math, physics, chemistry, and science. We can even support him, but there is no need for him to set such difficult questions! And he is forcing Xiongying, Yunwen, Ping'an and others like this! If our grandson and granddaughter-in-law are forced to suffer, can he, Ouyang Lun, afford it!?"

Zhu Biao looked embarrassed, but still explained: "Father, regarding the difficulty of the exam, I have discussed it with Brother-in-law Ouyang, but he told me that this is already the simplest question. If you can't even answer this difficult question, you can be directly defined as illiterate!"

Snapped!
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table.

"Ouyang Lun is so bold that he dares to call me illiterate!"

"I have long known that learning is important. I have worked hard to learn knowledge over the years. How can I be illiterate? Even if I cannot be called a cultured person, I am definitely not illiterate!"

Zhu Yuanzhang can be said to have broken through the defenses.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was a child, his family was poor. As far as he could remember, he started working as a cowherd for a landlord. Later, he went to a temple to become a monk, and only then did he learn a few words. Later, he rebelled and became an army of volunteers, and suffered a lot because of his lack of education. He hated it most when people said he was uneducated!

After becoming emperor, he studied even harder, for fear that others would say he was an uneducated emperor.

Finally no one mentioned his lack of education, but Ouyang Lun directly called him illiterate. Who could stand this?

"Father, calm down. Brother-in-law Ouyang has no intention of targeting you, and he didn't know that you got the test paper and did it yourself."

Zhu Biao hurried to explain.

Empress Ma also spoke up at this time: "Chongba, I also believe that Ouyang was not talking about you and me. We have not been exposed to the specific content of mathematics, physics and chemistry. It is normal that we can't answer this test question. If we study hard, we may be able to master it quickly."

"Yes, Father and Mother are right. Although we don't learn as fast as the children, as long as we study hard, we will still be able to understand."

"Besides, it's not a bad thing to let Xiongying, Yunwen and the others experience some setbacks now. It can help them understand that there are always people better than you, and that knowledge is endless."

After listening to what Zhu Biao and Empress Ma said, Zhu Yuanzhang's face did not look very good, but the anger that had just risen up subsided.

"We understand what you are saying, but Xiongying and Yunwen are the future of our Ming Dynasty, and nothing can happen to them!"

"We don't want our grandson to become Ouyang Lun's touchstone."

Zhu Biao smiled and said, "Father, Xiongying and Yunwen are not touchstones. If there is a touchstone, it must be my brothers. Didn't you give them to Brother-in-law Ouyang to teach?"

"Now my brothers are doing very well in their respective fiefs. I have received many compliments from local officials praising them!"

"From the news coming back from the people, the common people also support the princes of various places in the Ming Dynasty!"

"The descendants of the Ming royal family in various places are also actively working. They have not become parasites of the Ming Dynasty, only knowing how to indulge in pleasure or something like that."

"These are all due to the education and guidance of Brother-in-law Ouyang!"

"In addition, with the implementation of education reform, nine-year compulsory education has been fully implemented in our Ming Dynasty!"

"Except for girls who still have some difficulty in going to school, more than 90% of the boys in the Ming Dynasty can go to school and receive compulsory education. The difficulty of learning is also increasing year by year. In another eight or nine years, the Ming Dynasty will welcome a large number of young people who are well-educated and knowledgeable about science!"

"They will contribute outstandingly to the construction and development of Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes when listening to Zhu Biao's words. "You must have learned these words from Ouyang Lun. They sound just like Ouyang Lun!"

"Ahem, I dare not hide it from you, Father. These words were indeed heard by this son from Brother-in-law Ouyang, but this son thinks they are absolutely right!"

"It is hard for me to imagine that with so many talented people in the Ming Dynasty, how could it not prosper?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and suddenly thought of something else, and immediately said: "Now Ouyang Lun is not only the chief minister of the cabinet, but also controls the clan house, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Taxation Inspection Department. Now he is also responsible for the education of our grandchildren. Can he handle it?"

"And considering Ouyang Lun's personality, with so many things on his shoulders, he will definitely give up. But why haven't we heard any news about Ouyang Lun giving up recently?"

"In reply to your father, I know about this. In order to better handle various matters, Brother-in-law Ouyang has formed his think tank. This think tank not only assists him in handling various affairs, but also serves as the teachers of Xiongying and Yunwen in various subjects!"

"Think tank? This guy has started to win over celebrities?" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became nervous. You know, after he rebelled, the first thing he did was to find advisers for himself. It took him a lot of effort to finally invite Li Shanchang. After that, he put in even greater effort to invite Liu Bowen. In addition to these two, there were many other celebrities who formed Zhu Yuanzhang's group of advisers, gave him advice, and finally helped him establish the Ming Dynasty!
This Ouyang Lun's approach seems somewhat familiar!

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang getting nervous, Zhu Biao also sensed it and hurriedly said, "Father, Brother-in-law Ouyang's think tank is not those counselors, but more professionals in mathematics, physics and chemistry. Moreover, they are not celebrities. They are ordinary people with ordinary backgrounds, and their abilities are all taught by Brother-in-law Ouyang."

"They are like the craftsmen in the Ministry of Works, who are proficient in a certain field, unlike counselors like Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen."

After hearing Zhu Biao's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly relieved, but not completely reassured.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang made a decision, "Wang Zhong."

"His Majesty."

"Go, call Ouyang Lun and his think tanks over here! We have to ask them in person before we can feel at ease!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Anyway, what Zhu Biao said was said by Ouyang Lun, so he might as well go directly to Ouyang Lun, the real owner.

"Yes!" Wang Zhong saluted and stepped back.

When Zhu Biao heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to call Ouyang Lun over for a confrontation, he was not nervous but relieved instead. Ouyang Lun was more eloquent than him and he believed that his explanation would be clearer to his father Zhu Yuanzhang and would reduce his pressure.

Although Zhu Biao is now the emperor, when facing Zhu Yuanzhang, he is still like a son facing his father, there is no difference!
Moreover, Zhu Biao also respected Zhu Yuanzhang, so this matter must be made clear to Zhu Yuanzhang and he must support it.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang asked Wang Zhong to call Ouyang Lun and his think tank, Empress Lu and Minister of Taichang Temple Lu Ben received the news and rushed directly to Taile Palace.

"Your son greets his father, the emperor, and his mother, the empress! Your Majesty!"

"Your servant Lu Ben pays respects to the Retired Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and Your Majesty!"

Both Lu and his daughter Lu Ben bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Dowager Ma and Zhu Biao.

"Queen, why are you here?"

Zhu Biao was quite surprised to see Lu and his father-in-law running to Taile Palace.

"Your Majesty, I was originally chatting with my father about family matters. He wanted to see Yunwen, so he came here, but he was not able to enter the clan residence." At this point, tears welled up in Lu's eyes, but she did not cry, looking particularly pitiful. She continued, "If you can't see him, then you can't see him. After all, Brother-in-law Ouyang taught Yunwen under your order. He didn't let me visit him, so he naturally had his reasons. So I thought about sending my father out of the palace."

"However, when I passed by the Taile Palace, I saw His Majesty's carriage, and I thought that as his daughter-in-law, I should come in and pay my respects."

After hearing Lu's explanation, Zhu Biao nodded, "So that's how it is."

"Ouyang Lun, you're such a jerk. I was just scolding him, but now he doesn't even let our daughter-in-law look after our child. What does he want to do? Kidnap our grandson!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, "Don't be afraid, Lu. I'll take care of things for you today. I've just sent someone to call Ouyang Lun. When he comes, we'll definitely question him!"

"Thank you, father! But my brother-in-law Ouyang is not only the head of the royal family, but also the prime minister of the court. Please don't blame him, Your Majesty!" While thanking, Mrs. Lu "spoke" for Ouyang Lun.

"She has to be the daughter-in-law of our Zhu family! She knows the big picture and knows when to advance and retreat! Unlike Ouyang Lun, who is so annoying!" Zhu Yuanzhang muttered.

"Ms. Lu, come and sit here with me. My in-laws, please sit too!" said Queen Mother Ma.

"Thank you, Mother!"

Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu Ben walked to the side and sat down.

"Biao'er, you are the emperor, so don't just stand there. Sit down!" said Empress Dowager Ma.

"Okay, mother." Zhu Biao nodded and then sat down on the left side of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Soon, Ouyang Lun arrived at Taile Palace. With him came five young people dressed as scholars, and two of them were women.

"Your Highness Ouyang Lun pays respects to the Retired Emperor and Empress Dowager!"

Ouyang Lun then bowed to Zhu Biao and Lady Lu, "Greetings to your Majesty, the Queen, and Lord Lu!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Empress Ma smiled and said, "Ouyang, I haven't seen you for a few days. You have lost a lot of weight. It seems that being the Prime Minister of the Cabinet is not an easy job!"

"Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. It is my duty as a minister to do my job well." Ouyang Lun replied respectfully.

"Brother-in-law Ouyang is a role model for the royal family of our Ming Dynasty. If all the royal family of the Ming Dynasty can be as capable as Brother-in-law Ouyang, I'm afraid there will be no place for anyone else." Mrs. Lu said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I have only done my duty. The Ming Dynasty can be what it is today because of the planning of the retired emperor in the past, and now it is because of your Majesty's painstaking efforts! I dare not take credit for it! "

Ouyang Lun said calmly.

夷？
After hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but think in his heart, is this still the Ouyang Lun he knew?

In the past, he always ignored everyone and pretended to be asleep when nothing happened. Why is he so official today? It feels like he has let someone down.

Zhu Yuanzhang: Could it be that the sun has risen from the west? Is Ouyang Lun always so polite when speaking?

In fact, Ouyang Lun didn't want to be so polite at all, but he had just learned from Wang Zhong the real reason why Zhu Yuanzhang called him here. In addition, the Queen Lu was also there, which made Ouyang Lun know that today's hurdle would not be easy.

Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely try every possible way to get angry, and I must not give him the chance today!

When you live under someone's roof, you have to live there.

What is the principle of concession for the happy? This is concession for the happy. Confronting Zhu Yuanzhang will give Ouyang Lun a reason to get angry, which will not do Ouyang Lun any good.

Since there are no benefits but a lot of disadvantages, there is nothing wrong with being cautious.

Seeing the father and daughter Lu and Lu Ben, Ouyang Lun naturally understood what the father and daughter were here for. However, Ouyang Lun was too lazy to pay attention to them. It didn't matter what they thought. As long as he could deal with Old Zhu, it would be useless no matter how happily the father and daughter danced!

"Wow!"

"This Taile Palace is so beautiful! Your Majesty, you have great taste!"

"Your Highness, I am really damned! You have been staying here for such a long time, and your Highness has only just come here!"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

After saying that, Ouyang Lun bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang at a 90-degree angle.

Forehead.
Now everyone at the scene was stunned, especially Zhu Yuanzhang. Because of various things, Zhu Yuanzhang was very dissatisfied with Ouyang Lun, and even wanted to use this opportunity today to teach Ouyang Lun a lesson.

But Zhu Yuanzhang never expected that Ouyang Lun would actually take the initiative to ask for forgiveness!
Nima!

Ouyang Lun, are you sure you didn't steal our lines?

You have already apologized directly, what else can we say?
Are you really going to be punished?
Haha, if he really did that, punished Ouyang Lun, and then the news got out, wouldn’t he be labeled a tyrant who bullied his son-in-law? How could he keep his face?

Ouyang Lun is so cunning.

snort!
Do you think we can't do anything to you like this?

"My dear son-in-law, you are joking. You have been busy with the affairs of the court recently. You have lost weight. How can I bear to punish you?"

"But you really don't know why I called you here?"

"Can you just plead guilty and everything will be alright?"
