Lao Zhu still has thick skin.
Queen Ma didn't expose it, she was used to it.
"By the way, Chongba, have you heard that during the last Mid-Autumn Festival, Mr. Su gave a lot of mooncakes to his servants? Now the price of these mooncakes has skyrocketed."
Queen Ma said to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Although she is always in the palace, she still knows a lot about things inside and outside the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and said in surprise: "Is there such a thing? How can those fresh meat mooncakes be so popular?"
When he thought of the weird taste of fresh meat mooncakes, Lao Zhu still felt a little uncomfortable.
Queen Ma said: "That's the mooncake made by Mr. Su. Besides, there are some mooncakes filled with meat that some people don't like."
In the Ming Dynasty, when white flour and polished rice were extremely valuable, there were very few people who did not like to eat meat.
"The mooncakes made by Su Jing are just mooncakes. I think these people have bad intentions!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.
In his opinion, this is the unscrupulous behavior of businessmen.
"Chongba, don't think too much, there aren't many mooncakes. Besides, the Mid-Autumn Festival has already passed, so this matter will pass quickly."
Queen Ma said quickly.
She didn't want Lao Zhu to directly punish a group of people because of her few words.
It's just a small talk, and it won't be good if it involves other people.
"knew."
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately agreed.
While the two were talking, a guard appeared outside Fengxian Hall.
It was the one who was responsible for delivering letters. Under the eunuch's announcement, he also came to the palace and handed over the letters and items.
"Biao'er's reply was pretty quick this time."
Queen Ma said a little surprised.
After all, it had only been two or three days since Zhu Biao left the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang had already taken out those telescopes and started to look at them one by one.
"Biao'er knows that these telescopes are important, so he specially sent them here."
Zhu Yuanzhang replied.
For these important military supplies, even though he knew that Su Jing had left, Zhu Yuanzhang still checked them one by one to ensure that there were no problems.
"Mr. Su is really a man of his word. He did so much so quickly."
Queen Ma looked at so many telescopes and said with emotion.
When Su Jing agreed to make a telescope for Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma was also there.
Queen Ma was quite impressed by this efficiency.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Su Jing is indeed impeccable in this regard. He is also very considerate of the soldiers on the frontier, which is quite good!"
"That sentence that we are safe and sound is all because of the soldiers on the front lines carrying heavy loads. It really resonates with me!"
Lao Zhu is the immediate emperor. He is very familiar with the army and has a different kind of feeling.
Lao Zhu remembered Su Jing's words at that time, and he will naturally not forget them now.
"Mr. Su's character is admirable."
Queen Ma said seriously.
While talking, Zhu Yuanzhang had already checked all the telescopes.
"How's it going? Is there no problem, Chongpachi?"
Queen Ma asked Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Su Jing's craftsmanship is quite good, there is no fault at all."
Looking at these telescopes, Zhu Yuanzhang was also very happy.
This is the guarantee for victory in frontline battles.
"What is this?"
Queen Ma suddenly saw the two pieces of paper attached to the letter and opened them.
It was the question asked by Kaos, the answer given by Zhu Ji, and the question asked by Su Jing.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also confused. After a quick glance, he found that there were two math problems.
Don't think about it, it's probably something between Kaos and Su Jing.
"Biao'er should have written it in the letter, sister, we'll find out after taking a look."
Zhu Yuanzhang opened Zhu Biao's letter as he spoke.
Sure enough, the beginning directly told Zhu Yuanzhang the ins and outs of two mathematical problems.
"I see, Mr. Su and that Kaos have become friends through literature."
Queen Ma said.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "What is it about making friends through literature? This is obviously a competition, but judging from Biao'er's meaning, Su Jing is better, not bad, not bad."
Although Lao Zhu himself did not attach much importance to mathematics, he could not be suppressed by a Roman.
Su Jing's performance made Lao Zhu quite satisfied.
Queen Ma glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and shook her head slightly. Men are just competitive.
What Zhu Biao said next made Lao Zhu's expression suddenly change.
Su Jing predicted that after the Ming Dynasty reopened the imperial examination, it would soon stop.
this.
Whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang or Empress Ma, their expressions changed greatly after seeing this.
"Why did Mr. Su say that?"
Empress Ma looked surprised, but she did not immediately doubt Su Jing, but wondered if there was something wrong with the imperial examination.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked solemn. He had already experienced Su Jing's prediction ability once.
Inwardly speaking, he believed in Su Jing's prediction.
But his reason made him unable to believe it. How could this be possible?
Zhu Yuanzhang spent a lot of effort to launch the weightlifting, and the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty also discussed many plans.
There is something wrong with Su Jing's mouth.
The imperial examination was a major event, recruiting talents from the Ming Dynasty to add fresh blood to the court.
"Why exactly?"
Zhu Yuanzhang murmured to himself.
Empress Ma said: "Chongba, let's continue to see if Mr. Su has explained why this happened."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and then continued to look back.
But Zhu Biao's letter stated it directly, and Su Jing did not say why.
"Why does this Su Jing always like to sell things off?"
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table and said angrily.
The same thing happened before. Every time I raised some key issues related to Ming Dynasty with Zhu Biao, I always said half of it.
There are only problems, no reasons, and no solutions.
The imperial examination will be announced to all scholars in the world next year. Su Jing will say that there is a problem with the imperial examination and it will be stopped after it is completed.
Who can bear this!
"Chongpachi, calm down."
Empress Ma immediately advised: "Mr. Su doesn't know Biao'er's identity. Besides, he also told me. He will naturally know the reason when the time comes."
Queen Ma can understand Su Jing quite well.
The important matter of the imperial examination is the top priority of the Ming Dynasty. Su Jing can tell Zhu Biao this, which means that he already trusts Zhu Biao quite a lot.
If ordinary people said this, and Zhu Yuanzhang found out, it would probably not end well.
"When the time comes, what's the use of knowing it then."
Zhu Yuanzhang was still very impatient.
But this is precisely because he believes in Su Jing too much. If Su Jing says there is a problem, there is a high probability that there is a problem.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang, who didn't know the reason, felt like there were ants crawling in his heart, and he had no intention of reading the content behind Zhu Biao's letter.
"Chongba, if it doesn't work, let Biao'er ask again."
Queen Ma suggested to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "It's not necessary. Su Jing has already seen the problem. Are the ministers of the Ming Dynasty all useless and can't find any problem?"
Lao Zhu is not Zhu Biao, and he turns to Su Jing for everything. What's going on?
Besides, now that Su Jing has settled the issue regarding the imperial examination, it won’t be that difficult to find him again.
When Queen Ma saw Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, she said nothing more.
She quickly resigned, and Lao Zhu drove directly towards the Hanlin Academy.
Inside the Hanlin Academy.
Led by Song Lian, several bachelors were busy.
Song Lian, who had just finished studying "History of the Yuan Dynasty", did not have much free time.
Because Lao Zhu also issued an edict to compile the "Ancestor Instructions", which was later known as the "Ancestor Instructions of the Emperor Ming Dynasty".
This matter is different from compiling the "History of the Yuan Dynasty". You only need to search for information, verify each one, and then integrate and revise it.
"Ancestor Instructions" is the instruction given by Zhu Yuanzhang to his descendants in order to consolidate Zhu Ming's imperial power.
All contents must be according to Zhu Yuanzhang's wishes.
Although Lao Zhu himself read more books whenever he had time after the uprising, his cultural level is definitely not poor.
But in terms of literary talent, it is still far behind.
Therefore, in order to revise "Ancestor's Instructions", Zhu Yuanzhang must first give a general idea, and then the Hanlin Academy will polish and revise it to form a draft.
The manuscript was submitted to Zhu Yuanzhang for review. If it passed, he would continue to revise it. If it failed, he would make changes.
This is similar to what Su Jing's leader asked for in his previous life. It only has a general meaning and no standard specifications.
However, it all depends on Lao Zhu’s wishes.
What's even more cruel is that Lao Zhu himself doesn't know how many articles he will write in "Ancestors' Instructions".
Anyway, if you just think of mentioning it, the people below will have to work hard to repair it.
Maybe I forgot about it after a few days, so I just rejected it.
This person who has been busy for a long time cannot be dissatisfied. Sometimes if the polish is not good, he may be scolded.
All I can say is that this life is quite difficult.
Of course, none of the Hanlin bachelors in the Hanlin Academy are fuel-efficient, and their standards are still online.
Even so, it took six years of practice to complete the book.
It is conceivable how many deletions and revisions this "Ancestor's Instructions" has undergone and how many different versions it has.
"Your Majesty is here!"
As the eunuch's summons sounded, everyone in the Hanlin Academy immediately stopped what they were doing and gathered at the door.
Zhu Yuanzhang appeared, and the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy immediately saluted him.
"Everyone, you are all bachelors of the Hanlin Academy. I have something I need you to clarify."
Zhu Yuanzhang said to the crowd headed by Song Lian.
"I wonder what your Majesty is talking about?"
Song Lian is a Hanlin bachelor, and he is the leader of the Hanlin bachelors. He is the biggest here, so naturally he is the one to speak.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Song Lian and said, "There is something wrong with the imperial examination that will be held in the Ming Dynasty next year. I want you to find it out."
There is a problem with the imperial examination!
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said these words, the expressions of all the Hanlin scholars changed.
This imperial examination matter falls within the scope of their Hanlin Academy's functions.
In order to reopen the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty next year, they also worked hard and worked hard to complete the imperial examination regulations.
But now.
Zhu Yuanzhang directly said that there was something wrong with the imperial examination and asked them to find it out.
this.
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
Several Hanlin bachelors all knelt down, their expressions were quite frightened.
The regulations for the imperial examinations were all negotiated and formulated by them. Although they were finally submitted to Zhu Yuanzhang for finalization, if there were any problems, they would definitely not be able to blame the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.
Therefore, they can only bear the responsibility.
No one in the court or the civil and military officials knew how sharp Zhu Yuanzhang's butcher knife was.
It is not unusual for something as big as the imperial examination to go wrong.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands and said: "Everyone, get up. Did I say that I will punish you again?"
All the Hanlin scholars were still trembling with fear. Only Song Lian spoke:
"I wonder what the issue of the imperial examination your Majesty mentioned is?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Song Qing, I'm asking you to ask questions now. Do I know why I'm still asking you?"
Song Lian was stunned, and immediately thought of what Zhu Biao had talked to him before.
Zhu Biao once said that Su Jing was quite resistant to the appointment of officials with stereotyped writing.
However, Zhu Biao did not explain clearly at that time why Su Jing resisted.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang went straight to the Hanlin Academy to question them. Song Lian was sure that this matter must have something to do with Su Jing.
After thinking for a while, Song Lian replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the imperial examination is a policy formulated by me and my colleagues. I am afraid that I can't find any problems for the time being."
Song Lian is still brave, but this is also true.
After all, as a scholar, he certainly did his best when it came to the imperial examination.
After various arguments and considerations, I finally came up with a charter.
Various issues have been considered.
If they immediately agreed to Zhu Yuanzhang's suggestion to find the problem, it would only prove that they had never done this seriously before.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Song Lian and said: "Song Qing, I know that you are working hard, but I have already said that there are still problems with the imperial examination. You should stop what you are doing first. I will give you three days. When the time comes, I want to see your conclusions."
Three days!
Lao Zhu didn't believe it anymore. There were so many bachelors in the Hanlin Academy, but they couldn't compare to one Su Jing.
Three days was already the maximum time he could tolerate.
Song Lian's face looked a little ugly, but he could only kneel down and say: "I will try my best."
There was no way, Zhu Yuanzhang was not discussing with him, but directly issued the order.
If the first refusal is invalid, it means that it cannot be refused.
Zhu Yuanzhang arranged the matter and left the Hanlin Academy directly.
At this time, there was a sigh in the Hanlin Academy.
"We are asked to look for problems with the imperial examination in three days. What should we do?"
"We have been discussing this imperial examination matter for a long time, so why are there any problems?"
"Why is Your Majesty so sure there is something wrong?"
"In three days, I'm afraid we will be punished by His Majesty."
As Song Lian said, they had discussed the imperial examination many times, and the decision on the plan was based on many considerations.
Lao Zhu directly told them that he had a problem and asked them to find it. He didn't even have a direction. How could he find it?
No clue!
Three days was too short, and everyone just felt that they were really unlucky.
At this time, Song Lian's face was solemn. Wang Yi on the side looked at Song Lian and said, "Brother Jing Lian, do you have some ideas?"
Song Lian nodded and said, "Zichong, I'm afraid this matter has something to do with Mr. Su."
He did not mention Prince Zhu Biao. After all, he could tell that Zhu Biao was hesitant to speak.
Su Jing!
Wang Yi's expression changed and he asked, "Mr. Su!"
Su Jing's name has been making a lot of noise in the Ming Dynasty recently.
Zhu Yuanzhang could take his family to the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is no wonder that Zhu Yuanzhang would come directly to the Hanlin Academy to do this.
It's normal to have a relationship with Su Jing.
