King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

Chapter 482: Great Scholar Qian Qianyi

Li Chungang was full of doubts about this matter. After thinking about it, there was only one reason.

Could it be that Zhou Yanru is still saying bad things about him behind his back?
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I have done something unforgivable!" Lin Chungang said loudly.

Zhu Youjian said angrily: "What else do you have to say? What did you do wrong? You are innocent! What crime have you committed?"

Li Chungang was shocked all over and looked at Zhu Youjian in some confusion, not understanding why Zhu Youjian did this.

In fact, Zhu Youjian had already expected such a result. Both Li Chungang and Zhou Yanru were people in the court. They did this to make them lose confidence in the court.

From the very beginning, Zhu Youjian knew that the reason why the Ming Dynasty fell was because of two major factions. One was the eunuchs, who were notoriously corrupt. Although the Donglin Party was not as corrupt as the eunuchs, most of them were nerds who could only talk big and stir up trouble.

Wei Zhongxian wanted to kill him; he also wanted to kill him; he also wanted to kill him.

Zhu Youjian immediately said, "Li Chungang, if you don't want to, I can let you wait here. The Ministry of Revenue is such a high-ranking official position, are you here just to be a salted fish?"

Zhu Youjian spoke in a decisive tone, but his words were actually a mockery of Li Chungang.

"Your Majesty!" Li Chungang stepped back in fear.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Youjian glared at Li Chungang fiercely. Li Chungang was shocked and didn't know why he did this.

"Do you want me to give you a feast and kill all nine teams of you? Or do you want me to kill all nine teams of you, and you will be quiet?"

Li Chungang was so frightened that he was shaking all over. He said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, I am willing to abdicate! I just made a mistake! I am unwilling to accept this!"

"Very good!" He nodded with satisfaction. Zhu Youjian was delighted, thinking that this is how people think. If you want to install a window in a house, they will naturally not be happy, but if you want to tear down the whole house, they will definitely agree to let you open a window.

Li Chungang was panicked and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Back off!" Duan Lingtian glanced at him and said calmly.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

The matter was over. When he left, his heart was filled with hatred for Zhou Yanru.

How could he do such a thing? After all, he and Zhou Yanru are in the same boat!
Zhou Yanru was clearly treating him like a fool!
Li Chungang will never let go of such a thing of crossing the river and destroying the bridge, and he will definitely deal with it properly.

"Your Majesty!" At this moment, a voice rang out. Guo Mingling suddenly said, "Li Chungang has been deposed by the emperor. I wonder who the next emperor will choose to replace him?"

He looked at Song Yingxing and said with a smile: "Don't we have a genius in our Ministry of Works? He must be one of the best in our Ming Dynasty Ministry of Works!"

In fact, Guo Mingling had already made his own choice, but he did not expect Zhu Youjian to choose Song Yingxing.

This left him speechless!
"Song Yingxing?" ※※※※※※※Guo Mingling retorted: "Your Majesty, Song Yingxing is just an ordinary citizen. How can he know so many things in the Ministry of Works? Your Majesty's move is a bit too hasty."

"Reckless? I don't feel that way! Song Yingxing has never been involved in political affairs, but this is also good. Some bad official practices in the court will not have any negative impact on him. This is exactly what I want!"

Zhu Youjian said: "You are right.

Song Yingxing was startled and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Zhu Youjian coldly: "This matter is a foregone conclusion!"

"Chen Zhibao, what do you think?" At this time, Zhu Youjian next to him spoke.

Chen Zhibao nodded, feeling that what the emperor said made some sense. Although Song Yingxing was not familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Works, he was much better than him who did nothing.

"I think so!"

"I would like to ask you for a favor!" Zhu Youjian said to Song Yingxing.

Song Yingxing looked at him in confusion, and Zhu Youjian said, "I think you can go to my Ming Dynasty and teach."

"Professor?" Chen Zhao was stunned.

"Well, like them, working as lecturers in universities or colleges?" Zhu Youjian said, fearing that Song Yingxing might not understand, so he explained it to him.

When Song Yingxing said "I don't understand", he didn't actually mean "I don't understand", but the word "teacher" already existed in the Ming Dynasty. "Teacher" is a very old title. "Teacher" is generally a senior teacher in universities or schools. It was not until the Song Dynasty that it was called a teacher.

"This..." Song Yingxing nodded.

Guo Mingling was the first to speak, with a hint of doubt in his voice, and said: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely inappropriate!"

"what happened?"

This is of course wrong, not only Guo Mingling, but also several colleagues around Guo Mingling. What about Song Yingxing? Guo Mingling is a scholar, and everyone in the Imperial College is a scholar. Song Yingxing is just a student who failed the exam.

From experience, Guo Mingling worked hard for decades to achieve his current status, and Song Yingxing is just an ordinary person, how could he have such a status?
Zhu Youjian, this is too much nonsense, isn't it? He is simply making fun of the teacher of the Imperial College.

Guo Mingling said: "Your Majesty, this Song Yingxing is uneducated and not even the top scholar, how could he be one of ours?"

"I asked him not to teach Chinese studies, the Four Books and the Five Classics, but to learn them yourself!"

This is a very simple question. In a university, some teach languages, some teach ethics, some teach science, and some teach.

Song Yingxing was exactly the person Zhu Youjian wanted to recruit.

Guo Mingling was still puzzled: "I don't understand!"

"I plan to set up science and engineering departments in the Imperial College, and Song Yingxing is one of them. The two of them should keep out of each other's way!" Zhu Youjian said. He probably did this because he was worried that his job would be taken away by others.

Uh……

This is absolutely unacceptable. Guo Mingling immediately retorted: "Please think twice! These unorthodox practices are never glorious. Do you really want to bring these things to the Imperial College?"

"This is too embarrassing. If people knew about this, our Ming Empire would become a laughing stock."

Guo Mingling said, and the people around him echoed that Zhu Youjian's behavior was really surprising. They actually did such a thing!
Amid the noisy discussions, Zhu Youjian remained calm and showed a solemn smile:

"Yes, sir! This is my purpose!"

Every word he wrote revealed an imperial aura that was rare.

Guo Mingling was originally chattering away, but now he had to shut up.

"Thank you, sir. I am grateful to you!"

It was not until this time that Song Yingxing spoke.

To be honest, he still doesn't know how capable he is to be an official in the Imperial College. This is too much of a compliment to him.

In fact, Zhu Youjian had high hopes for Song Yingxing.

As the sky gradually darkened, Zhang Xuan was planning to teach these new students, or so-called students, a lesson.

But if you think about it carefully, there seems to be no need to be so anxious.

Ah Zhu noticed everyone's reactions from the beginning, especially when she saw Guo Mingling's constipated look, she secretly rejoiced in her heart.

The Secretary-General lowered his head, his face showing no emotion. He only knew that Zhu Youjian's absurd behavior left him puzzled.

He had already heard from Guo Mingling that Zhu Youjian was not mentally normal, and today he finally saw it.

"In that case, I'm a little sleepy too! A little tired! I'll go now? I'll go practice now!"

Zhu Youjian responded and turned to leave. In fact, he had already made plans to practice. Song Yingxing was completely stunned.

"Your Majesty? Are you practicing?"

Judging from Song Yingxing's behavior, he was not familiar with Zhu Youjian's Taoist deeds.

Song Yingxing and Zhu Youjian looked at each other, and Zhu Youjian's eyes fell on Song Yingxing. Song Yingxing was a high-tech person and should not believe in the theory of cultivation.

This is bad!

Without waiting for Song Yingxing to answer, Zhu Youjian said:
"If Mr. Song wants to practice, I can teach you."

"Your Majesty! As an emperor, you should govern the country and love the people. A country must have a monarch!"

Song Yingxing finally spoke, completely forgetting that he had just been promoted. A new official actually wanted to persuade Zhu Youjian to give up practicing? This was just like a new emperor who had to face three fires.

Zhu Youjian chuckled, his voice carrying a hint of a playboy:
"It is easy to change the country, but it is difficult to change one's nature. A person must practice!"

Zhu Youjian paused for a moment, then continued:

"You said that if the Ming Dynasty wants to prosper for a thousand years, then there must be an emperor who can survive to the end. Isn't that what I did?"

Zhu Youjian laughed loudly, while Song Yingxing looked shocked.

When she first came, she thought Zhu Youjian was a good emperor, but now he has become a useless person and she doesn't understand what he is thinking.

Is he wise and brave, or foolish and incompetent?

Although Zhu Youjian had no idea what Song Yingxing was thinking, he could guess a little from the undisguised expression on his face.

Zhu Youjian just smiled and thought it was a very simple matter.

"That's it then. I still have some stuff to take care of and things to deal with!"

Business matters? Or is it to practice for the emperor just for the sake of practice? Guo Mingling was thinking, at this moment, Zhu Youjian called out his name:
"Mr. Guo, Mr. Guo, you guys go back to class first, I'm leaving first!"

Yu Guomingling said, and then said to several tutors and mentors present: "You all go back, we won't meet again in the future, Zhu Youjian, you all go back too!"

At this point, Zhu Youjian looked at Song Yingxing deeply, and then deliberately prolonged his voice:
"The Imperial College, the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty's technological industry all depend on you!"

Song Yingxing was stunned by Zhu Youjian's words. He was still wondering what the revival of the industry was all about.

When he turned around, Zhu Youjian was gone.

On the way, General Shen Lian, surrounded by a group of guards, came to the gate of the Imperial College and his eyes fell on Zhu Youjian.

"Your Majesty?" An Fei was stunned and then asked.

Zhu Youjian glanced around and noticed some movement on the roof.

"Let's go!" Everyone followed.

Shen Lian was also alert. He winked at the people around him, asking them to be prepared.

Zhu Youjian was originally thinking about the movements along the way to see if he could take any action, but after all, there were only some slight movements and no action.

Even in the alley where action was most likely to take place, there was no one there.

Shen Lian did not relax his vigilance, because he knew very well where this aura came from. Now should be the time for these people to take action.

"Your Majesty, so they won't take action?"

Shen Lian took the sword away from the embroidered sword and his eyes fell on Zhu Youjian.

But in front of Shen Lian, Zhu Youjian had a calm face, sitting upright in the car, as if cheering himself up.

After a long while, he finally spoke:
"It seems that Wei Zhongxian and Boss Wei don't really want to fight to the death!
……

Deep in the courtyard, petals fell and birds chirped.

Inside the Zhou residence, in the quiet courtyard, there was total silence, with only the chirping of birds.

The cabinet minister Zhou Yanru was playing chess leisurely, holding a chess piece in his hand, but he didn't know where to put it.

"I told you not to drink, don't drink! Isn't playing chess very interesting?"

Zhou Yanru placed a black piece.

Qian Qianyi smiled and said, "Actually, I'd rather play with you, but if you want to play, I'll play with you, so don't refuse!"

"He's drunk and confused, and his chess skills are not good!" Zhou Yanru said as he placed a piece. Judging from the current situation, Qian Qianyi was in danger of being besieged.

"I don't want to play anymore, Boss. Your chess skills are far superior to mine. How can I possibly beat you?"

"Why rush? If you have enough patience, then it all depends on your mentality!"

"Son of a bitch, Zhou Yanru!"

An angry shout came from outside the door, but it was Zhou Yanru who stopped him.

"Mr. Li, you are not allowed to enter!"

"Go away!" he shouted.

Li Chungang, with a powerful aura, went straight to Zhou's house where Zhou Yanru was and found Zhou Yanru in the yard.

He walked through the personal guards behind Zhou Yanru.

"Haha! Isn't that Mr. Li, the Shangshu of our company? Mr. Li, what are you doing in the Zhou Mansion?"

Qian Qianyi: “…”

"What's wrong? Go ask your brother. He has done things like destroying bridges after crossing them and being an ungrateful person. He should understand this better than anyone else!"

As Li Chungang spoke, his expression became increasingly uglier. When he discovered that Zhou Yanru was still playing chess, he took a step forward and overturned the table.

Such behavior was not enough to calm his anger, and he wanted to curse.

Zhou Yanru was stunned, and Qian Qianyi was also stunned.

Zhou Yanru frowned, still confused, and asked: "Mr. Li, why did you come this time? Can you tell us so that we won't be confused?"

"What is there to discuss? Stop calling me Mr. Li. I am no longer Mr. Li." Li Chungang continued to curse.

Seeing this, Qian Qianyi immediately stood up and comforted him:

"Mr. Li, why do you do this?"

"You look so gentle, but how come you act like a young wife?"
