Queen Ma came in with a tray,
Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his hands excitedly as he smelled the fragrance.
Greedy said,
“Hahahaha, we just love eating girls’ boiled noodles!
Hurry up! "
The grandfather and grandson cleaned the noodles in twos and twos.
Both bowls were as clean as if they had been licked.
Queen Ma smiled and took the empty bowl aside.
Lao Zhu patted the table and said,
said,
"Okay! Let's settle Liu Sanwu!
The rest is easy to say. "
"Okay, Grandpa."
Zhu Xiongying didn't say much.
In the Beibeibang case, the palace examination list pointed out by Liu Sanwu was the trigger for everything.
but,
Zhu Xiongying was not kind enough to tell Liu Sanwu what to do.
What he wants is for things to develop naturally and to observe in secret.
And at critical moments, we seize opportunities and promote reforms.
The more chaos there is, the more profit can be gained from it.
Moreover,
This does not mean that Zhu Xiongying can reach out and press it down. Even if he presses it down, it will only be temporary.
There is no way to solve the problem without popping the pustule.
In Zhu Xiongying’s heart,
Liu Sanwu is already an abandoned son.
Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Zhu Xiongying over and shook out the essay paper.
"Grandson, look at this.
Huang Zicheng ranked first in the Ji'an Prefecture Examination in Jiangxi Province.
This article is so well written! "
Zhu Xiongying frowned slightly,
Huang Zicheng was not a Jinshi in the fifteenth year of Hongwu.
It seems that
Sure enough, as the system said, the subsequent history of the Ming Dynasty has completely entered an unknown state.
I don’t know what the reason was that influenced Huang Zicheng to enter the examination room early.
This may be an important message.
Zhu Xiongying secretly wrote down this information. Lao Zhu saw Zhu Xiongying frowning,
asked,
"Eldest grandson? Don't you like this?"
Lao Zhu pretended to throw Huang Zicheng's article aside.
As long as Zhu Xiongying didn't like the title of a wealthy man, he would be cut off from his official career immediately.
Lao Zhu is so willful.
Zhu Xiongying shook his head,
smiled and said,
"Grandpa, no.
My grandchildren don't even know this person, so how can I like him or not? "
Lao Zhu smiled and said,
"We thought we were destined to meet each other, maybe you wouldn't like the name of my eldest grandson."
With that said, Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Huang Zicheng's article back.
Jiangxi's examination papers, headed by Huang Zicheng, were placed in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands.
Jiangxi, on the west side of the Yangtze River, is a place frequented by scholars.
Ji'an Prefecture in Jiangxi Province alone has produced countless famous figures.
Except for Huang Zicheng,
There are also Yang Shiqi who has not yet participated in the imperial examination, and loyal cabinet ministers Xie Jin and Hu Guang during the Yongle period.
It can be said that Ji'an Prefecture is full of outstanding people.
certainly,
If you can produce so many reading seeds, you know that this is also a place where the gentry is strong.
Thinking of this,
Zhu Xiongying suddenly had an idea.
No wonder Huang Zicheng took the imperial examination in advance!
It was precisely because of his appearance that he accelerated Li Shanchang's demise.
Without Li Shanchang leading the civil service group, the civil service in the court would be a piece of scattered sand.
and,
Because of grandpa's mass killings, there were a lot of vacancies among the civil servants in the court.
These vacancies are the perfect opportunity to take root in the court!
so,
The Jiangnan gentry have all their reading seeds! Everyone was crowded into this imperial examination!
Northern and Southern Imperial Examinations...
Haha, interesting.
"Besides Huang Zicheng, this article by Qi Tai is also good."
Sure enough, where there are crouching dragons, there must be phoenix chicks.
After Lao Zhu finished Huang Zicheng's article, he pulled out Qi Tai's article.
Zhu Xiongying looked over and saw that the Qitai test paper was also placed at the top of the Jiangsu test paper.
Jiangsu is also a place for weightlifting, and it's really hard to do.
Zhu Xiongying took the article and read it casually,
The number of words is only about 1,500, but the writing is quite fluent, the language is quite beautiful, and it does have something to say.
Sure enough, anyone who can become the first in the test has two brushes.
At the very least, the article is well written.
Lao Zhu pulled out a few more articles, but after reading the articles by Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng,
Reading these articles again, they are a bit boring.
but,
Zhu Xiongying noticed a detail,
I'm afraid Lao Zhu didn't even realize it.
If we divide the articles by region, all the articles that Lao Zhu pulls out are those from southerners, while the articles from northerners are not touched at all.
This is very interesting,
At least it can explain one thing,
There is a big objective gap in the imperial examination level between southerners and northerners.
Queen Ma smiled and said,
"Chongba,
I'm a little tired of hearing these articles you read with gorgeous rhetoric.
Is there one with a simpler style of writing?
I also have some fun. "
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said,
"Of course!
There are many articles written by students from the north that are simple and elegant. Let me choose one for you now! "
Hearing Queen Ma's words, Zhu Xiongying was shocked.
Grandma also discovered this? !
Zhu Xiongying relied on his general control of future events to see the hidden dangers in the north and south.
Grandma was sitting next to her and didn't seem to be involved in the whole process. She just said casually,
It hits the point right away!
Even now, grandpa hasn’t reacted yet!
This is a bit outrageous!
Is grandma really the real emperor of the Ming Dynasty?
Zhu Xiongying suddenly remembered a sentence,
When you feel particularly comfortable with someone, that person's IQ and EQ must far exceed yours.
No wonder grandpa and grandma get along so well...
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned for a long time before reluctantly pulling out a test paper from a northern student.
Then I read it reluctantly,
But when I reached the middle, I really couldn’t read anymore.
He frowned and said,
"What kind of thing is this written?! The level is too different!"
Zhu Xiongying said nothing.
Queen Ma straightened the bedding and said with a casual smile,
"What's wrong? It sounds pretty good to me."
Zhu Yuanzhang was dissatisfied and said,
"It's so good. The policies and theories of northern students are pretty good.
But this article is too poorly written, and the allusions used are wrong! "
Zhu Yuanzhang angrily slapped the test paper on the table.
Queen Ma shook her head and said nothing.
Zhu Xiongying read these articles for a while, and saw Zhu Xiongying's eyelids started to tremble,
Zhu Yuanzhang put away all the articles.
said softly,
"Eldest grandson, go to sleep first and talk about it tomorrow."
Zhu Xiongying hummed and fell asleep.
My last thought before falling asleep was,
Reading these articles is more boring than reading excerpts.
The imperial examination articles in the Hongwu Year had not yet completely adopted the eight-legged essay format, but signs of that were already appearing.
Occasionally or casually, the writing method is similar, that is, they fit into the same mold.
Looks extremely boring.
And the students from the South write so well, it is obvious that they have received systematic training.
In comparison, students from the north have no fixed format at all in their writing.
No wonder Lao Zhu said they wrote nonsense.
