Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Sitting in their position, not only can they not trust the officials, but sometimes they may not even be able to trust their relatives.

Officials will deceive their subordinates and lie to their superiors, and relatives will engage in intrigue against each other.

There is basically no family affection in the royal family, but basically no seems too absolute. At least now there is still family affection between Old Zhu and Zhu Xuan.

"Grandpa Huang taught me well, and I remember it all."

Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "In fact, my grandson also knows that as long as the officials' bad behavior is not too extreme, my grandson will turn a blind eye. There is a saying that goes, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish."

This is how they rule their subordinates.

Zhu Yuanzhang actually thought so too. If he really ignored everything and started killing people for just a small mistake, then it seemed that not many officials in the entire Ming Dynasty would survive.

"My dear grandson is right!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled with satisfaction after hearing this and said, "You have thought of so much. I will be truly relieved to hand over the Ming Dynasty to you in the future."

However, Wen Gui, who was standing next to him, did not quite understand and asked, "Grandpa, you once told me that if a person can avoid making mistakes, he should try not to make them. But why do you think it is okay for Grandpa and Dad to make mistakes when other officials make them?"

At Wengui's age, he has no idea why this profound question arises. He just feels that his great-grandfather's teachings conflict with what he is doing now and are different from what he did at the beginning.

"Wen Gui."

Zhu Xuan said: "You don't understand this question yet. When you really want to understand it, you will have grown up."

"Really?|"

Wen Gui raised his head, his face blank and his eyes full of confusion.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think so. He snorted and said, "What do you mean Wengui doesn't understand? Don't worry, Wengui. After we go back, I will teach you everything."

He was just like that. He wanted to teach Wen Gui everything he should know about being an emperor. He was also afraid that he would not have the opportunity to see Wen Gui grow in the future, so he only taught him as much as he could now.

The next two generations of emperors of the Ming Dynasty were both taught by him.

As the ancestor of the family, I have a great sense of accomplishment. When I go to the underworld in the future and meet my parents, sister, boyfriend, etc., I can brag about them to show how great I am.

"Grandpa Huang!"

Zhu Xuan naturally understood what Old Zhu was thinking, and said with a smile: "Wengui is still young!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think so. He shook his head and said, "You are not young anymore. How old were you at that time? You already know so much. Our Wen Gui can do the same."

"Yeah!"

Wengui cheered happily and said that he could learn it too.

When Zhu Xuan saw them like this, he didn't know what to say. Actually, it was a good thing, as it gave the emperor something to do and he didn't have to think about farming all day.

As long as they are happy, that's enough.

The meal took quite a long time. After finishing, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Return to the palace! My dear grandson has been with me for so long, and has delayed a lot of government affairs. Go back quickly, and don't delay any longer."

He was also eager to take Wengui back and teach him well, making sure he could make him a successful person.

The main reason Zhu Yuanzhang came out for a walk today was to relax, see what the scholars outside were like, and see how the imperial examination was going.

By the way, explain some rare and profound truths to Zhu Xuan.

He thought Zhu Xuan needed to know those principles. Even though he already understood them, he still wanted to explain them. What if he still didn't understand?
Return to the palace.

Zhu Xuan asked Wen Gui to go back with Zhu Yuanzhang to Wenhua Pavilion, and asked the Jinyiwei about the announcement of today's results.

When the results were announced, he was actually present at the scene, but he asked the Imperial Guards because he wanted to see if there was any difference between what they saw and what he saw, and whether he knew some of the more hidden things.

Now things are all normal.

"Your Highness, the Minister of Personnel, Mr. Zhang, requests to see you."

Hou Xian came in to pass on the message.

"pass!"

Zhu Xuan said.

After a while, Zhang Xun knelt in front of Zhu Xuan and was about to salute, but Zhu Xuan interrupted him and said, "No need for that, please take a seat!" Hou Xian brought over a small stool.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

After Zhang Xun sat down, he said carefully, "I am seeking an audience because of the palace examination. May I ask, Your Highness, how is the emperor doing?"

Zhu Xuan said: "Grandpa Emperor said that I will be fully responsible for the palace examination. You can arrange it as usual."

"Yes!"

Zhang Xuan said loudly.

At the same time, he heard an important message, that is, His Majesty even let His Highness be responsible for the palace examination, which means that he really wants to delegate power completely.

Give power to Zhu Xuan.

Being in charge of the country in all aspects does not really mean decentralization, but the fact that Zhu Xuan was allowed to take charge of the imperial examinations shows that Zhu Yuanzhang really did not care about anything.

In fact, if we trace back the incident now, the power will fall into Zhu Xuan's hands.

The power of the entire Ming Dynasty was controlled by Zhu Xuan. For example, the change of the fiefdom of His Royal Highness Prince Heng was also proposed by Zhu Xuan, and Zhu Yuanzhang had no objection at all.

These are the most powerful evidence.

"The Ming Dynasty should be replaced soon." Zhang Xun thought.

"And then there's the matter of cheating in the imperial examinations."

Zhu Xuan thought for a moment and then asked, "Does your Ministry of Personnel have anything to add?"

The investigation into cheating in the imperial examination is still ongoing.

After all, tracing back is not an easy task. It wastes manpower, material resources, and energy. Sometimes, over time, a lot of evidence is erased, and it may be impossible to find anything.

The current Ministry of Personnel is fully cooperating with the Embroidered Uniform Guard's investigation.

The Ministry of Personnel did not dare to disobey the cooperation. This was Zhu Yuanzhang's intention and the order given by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Highness, no."

Zhang Xun lowered his head and said, "All the files and information needed by the Jinyiwei, as well as the names of all the scholars who participated in the past three imperial examinations, have been handed over to the Jinyiwei."

Hearing this, Zhu Xuan waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go down first!"

"My lord, resign!"

Zhang Xun bowed and stepped back.

Zhu Xuan said again: "Send it to Jiang Li."

The investigation into cheating in the imperial examination lasted a long time.

He needed to know the result. The cheaters this time were basically caught, and Zhu Zhen also gave a warning.

Even the White Lotus Sect, which was blamed, was pretended to be hunted down by the Jinyiwei.

Now all that’s left is a retrospective investigation, and I don’t know how to proceed.

After a long time, Jiang Li walked into Wenhua Pavilion, bowed and said: "Your Highness Jiang Li, I pay my respects..."

"okay!"

Zhu Xuan took a look at the stool Zhang Xun had been sitting on, which had not been moved away, and said, "You sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Jiang Li sat down stiffly.

"How is the investigation of the imperial examination going?"

Zhu Xuan asked.

Jiang Li knew that this was the question he was going to ask about, so he bowed and said, "Your Highness, all those caught at the exam site admitted that they cheated. Based on the clues they provided, I have traced them all the way to their registered places of residence, arrested many local officials, and thoroughly rectified the area. I am now preparing to go to the palace to report the results." (End of this chapter)
