"We apply an upward force to the pulley..."

In the yard, Su Jing was beside Zhu Biao, teaching him to do force analysis.

Mechanics is a very important content and must be learned well.

Of course, learning well is not an easy thing.

Fortunately, Zhu Biao’s internal driving force for learning is very strong, for the future of Ming Dynasty!

In addition, his brain is not stupid, so it is not that painful to learn.

At this time, Liu Bowen was in the house, thinking carefully about what Su Jing had told him in the past two days.

Changes in social form.

Primitive society, slave society, feudal society and capitalist society.

The corresponding characteristics of these changes in social forms also include their changing processes.

Sorting them all out is like seeing all the changes in the world.

Liu Bowen was only shocked in his heart. This far exceeded all the knowledge he had learned before.

Compared with Su Jing, his ability to assist Zhu Yuanzhang in conquering the world was so insignificant that it was not worth mentioning.

All he can see is the change of one generation, and the only thing he can do is this one day.

But Su Jing's gaze was on the entire history.

If Su Jing wanted to, would it be possible for him to make these changes come early?

The more Liu Bowen thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

In this case, wouldn’t Su Jing

Thinking that he would soon go back to resurrect Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen felt a little unsure.

What should I say?

Su Jing's fate is already in her own hands.

"Niu Su, the considerations here are still not comprehensive enough. You need it."

"Niu Yi, can the direction of this force be broken down into..."



The figure of Su Jing teaching Zhu Biao and Zhu Ru in the courtyard fell into Liu Bowen's eyes.

Whether it's Su Jing, Zhu Biao or Zhu Ju, their eyes are pure.

That was the purity Liu Bowen had when he was studying at a young age.

Liu Bowen just looked at it, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.

I really think too much.

"Why would a person like Mr. Su care about this worldly power?"

Liu Bowen shook his head mockingly, walked slowly into the courtyard, and came to Su Jing.

"Hey, Lao Liu."

Su Jing saw Liu Bowen and said with a smile.

Liu Bowen bowed slightly towards Su Jing and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you so much, Mr. Su, for your hospitality these past two days. I have to say goodbye, Old Liu."

Um?

Su Jing was stunned and said, "Are you leaving now? Lao Liu, it'll be fine if you stay for a few more days."

Although Su Jing has been explaining and teaching these two days, Liu Bowen's performance also surprised Su Jing.

An ancient man could have such thoughts.

It can be said that it has surpassed the times. It is still very comfortable to stay with smart people.

"No, I have no regrets. I would like to thank Mr. Su again for your generous support."

Liu Bowen bowed to Su Jing again, his attitude was extremely sincere.

"Hey, hey, Old Liu, this is a bit much!"

Su Jing quickly pulled up Liu Bowen's body. This old Liu could almost be his grandfather, so inappropriate.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Liu Bowen finally left.

Su Jing looked at Liu Bowen's retreating back and shook her head slightly.

"Master Su and Master Liu can't help themselves."

Zhu Biao on the side said.

He knew about Liu Bowen's situation.

Su Jing said calmly: "I know, your father, so be it."

Liu Bowen came suddenly, stayed for two days and then left immediately.

He also asked a lot of questions, and it was obvious that he couldn't have come by himself.

Although Su Jing had never inquired about Zhu Biao's family background, she still knew her family well.

Zhu Biao was silent when he heard this. There was only so much he could say.

at the same time.

In the Hanlin Garden, a group of Hanlin bachelors were very anxious and anxious at the moment.

The past two days have passed, and Zhu Yuanzhang still has no clue about the imperial examination issue that Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to find.

"Master Song, what should we do? Tomorrow is the last day of your Majesty's deadline."

A Hanlin scholar came to Song Lian and complained.

As a Hanlin bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Song Lian is the leader and the backbone of these Hanlin bachelors.

Song Lian looked solemn and said, "I will find a way. Your Majesty, let me do the talking."

Song Lian was not one to evade responsibility. He decisively accepted the drudgery of reporting.

However, even after Song Lian said this, the faces of these Hanlin bachelors did not change much.

If the problem is not solved, so what if I don't report it myself? This doesn't mean I'm irresponsible.

For a time, there was a depressed atmosphere in the entire Hanlin Academy.

In the final analysis, I am still afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang personally ordered this matter, but they had no clue at all.

what to do?

Song Lian also had no confidence in his heart.

He wanted to go find Su Jing and ask, but there was no news about Su Jing at all.

There is absolutely no way out!

Do you want to use the reasons that Prince Zhu Biao told him a few days ago?

Song Lian fell into confusion.

"Brother Jing Lian!"

At this time, Wang Yi quickly walked up to Song Lian, his expression a little anxious.

"What's wrong, Zichong, what happened?"

Song Lian looked at the furious Wang Yi and said doubtfully.

Wang Yi said: "I just saw Uncle Cheng entering the palace."

Sincere uncle Liu Bowen enters the palace!

When Song Lian heard this, his brows immediately wrinkled.

He has a good relationship with Liu Bowen, and Liu Bowen had mentioned him before.

Liu Bowen's situation was known to everyone in the court.

Something must have happened if he was suddenly called into the palace.

However, no one knows whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

After thinking about it briefly, Song Lian made a decision: "Zichong, you can preside over here first, and I will go to meet His Majesty."

Song Lian still had the character of a scholar.

Liu Bowen's condition is unknown, and Song Lian doesn't want to just stand by and watch.

At least, the kindness is repaid.

"okay, I get it."

Wang Yi knew Song Lian and nodded immediately.

Song Lian immediately set off and went straight to the palace!

At this time, in Fengxian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was waiting for Liu Bowen's arrival.

What was on his desk was not an official document.

It was the song "Nian Nujiao·Mid-Autumn Festival to the Moon" that Su Jing and Zhu Biao recited before when they were flying flowers under the moon.

Lao Zhu himself can be said to have no accomplishments in literature.

He could understand the superficial meaning of this poem, but no more words would be enough.

"Su Jing, what do you mean by writing this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang murmured to himself that he was too busy before and had no time to look at it, nor did he think of it.

"Your Majesty, Uncle Cheng has arrived."

The eunuch's voice sounded.

"Xuan."

Zhu Yuanzhang said immediately.

He was really anxious as he waited. Liu Bowen was sent to Su Jing personally by him, and now he is finally back.

What did the two of them say? Zhu Yuanzhang was very anxious!

There was no way, Su Jing was too vigilant, Gong Weilang had already confirmed this matter earlier.

Later, both parties agreed to monitor from a distance, but there was no possibility of monitoring.

"Old minister, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Arriving in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen immediately knelt down.

The attitude must be good.

"Bo Wen, get up quickly. You and I, my king and my ministers, don't have to worry about these etiquettes."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said that at this moment, he was completely a kind-hearted image.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Bowen stood up slowly.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from his chair, walked to Liu Bowen and said, "Bowen, how was the meeting with Su Jing?"

What Zhu Yuanzhang was most concerned about was the meeting between Liu Bowen and Su Jing.

"Reporting to your Majesty, I have asked Mr. Su for a lot of advice and gained a lot."

Liu Bowen replied seriously.

The truth still has to be told.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Tell me first, what is going on with this imperial examination?"

After all, it was something that was about to be announced to the world, so it was normal for Zhu Yuanzhang to be anxious.

At this moment, the eunuch's voice came from outside again:

"Song Chengzhi has arrived!"

Song Lian is here!

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned, a little surprised, and then thought of the task he had assigned to the Hanlin Academy a few days ago.

But hasn’t the three-day deadline not yet arrived?

Could it be that Song Lian has already found the problem?

Liu Bowen on the side frowned slightly. Song Lian's appearance really surprised him.

He didn't know Zhu Yuanzhang's previous arrangements.

Could it be related to myself?

"Xuan."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand directly.

Soon, Song Lian also appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"My minister Song Lian pays homage to Your Majesty."

Song Lian saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and did not forget to glance at Liu Bowen.

He didn't see any embarrassment on Liu Bowen's face, and he felt a little more relaxed.

It should not be to embarrass Liu Bowen.

"Song Lian, are you reporting to me when you came here suddenly?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said directly: "I limited it to three days. Now that the deadline for the three of them has not arrived, do you already have the answer?"

Song Lian raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, I and the Hanlin Academy have been thinking about it for several days, but they have never found out the shortcomings of this imperial examination, so I am here today to apologize."

Please excuse me?

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, but he didn't expect Song Lian to be so direct.

Liu Bowen on the side was also quite surprised when he heard Song Lian's words.

Song Lian came over and asked for forgiveness. It was still related to the imperial examination.

Although it was just a few simple sentences, Liu Bowen had a rough guess.

Zhu Yuanzhang probably learned from Su Jing that the imperial examination would be suspended, and then asked people from the Hanlin Academy to find out the reason.

"Your Majesty, I just got the answer from Mr. Su. This matter has nothing to do with Song Chengzhi."

Liu Bowen said immediately.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of punishing Song Lian. When he heard what Liu Bowen said, he said directly:

"Then Bowen, tell me what Su Jing said."

Song Lian also realized at this time that Liu Bowen should have gone to see Su Jing before.

Like himself, Liu Bowen wanted to understand the shortcomings of the imperial examination.

Liu Bowen immediately said: "Mr. Su said that there is nothing wrong with the imperial examination itself. The reason why the imperial examination will be stopped is because of Your Majesty."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression suddenly changed.

Even Song Lian, who had just apologized, was shocked. What does this mean?

Is Su Jing so bold?

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a stern face: "Uncle Chengyi, tell me what Su Jing said."

Obviously Zhu Yuanzhang was on the verge of anger at this moment.

Liu Bowen's expression remained unchanged as he said: "Mr. Su said that the talents His Majesty needs are not those who can only read rote books, but those who can handle practical matters."

"The talents selected from the Ming Dynasty's first imperial examination are not what your majesty needs, so your majesty will stop the imperial examination."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression immediately softened a lot. He nodded and said: "Su Jing's words are quite right. When I govern the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely not be possible if only those who can only read dead books become officials. If this is the case, then it would be better to stop the imperial examination."

From Lao Zhu's point of view, what he wants must be talents who can govern the country and be able to do things.

Su Jing's words reached Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

Song Lian stood aside, listening to these words, but felt a little puzzled in his heart.

Prince Zhu Biao came to him before and talked about the imperial examination. According to Zhu Biao, that was not what happened.

It's getting weirder and weirder.

"But how does Su Jing know that the talents selected in this imperial examination are all mediocre?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

Although Su Jing's reasons were correct, there were still some things that were not explained clearly.

Liu Bowen replied: "Mr. Su said that your Majesty has conquered the world and has already gathered the best talents from all over the world. Even if the talents are selected in this imperial examination, Your Majesty will not think how good they are."

This is a comparison.

I am afraid of comparison in everything.

"Um."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, agreeing with Su Jing's statement.

In today's Ming Dynasty, the most powerful talents are basically under his command.

This is not a talent selected by some imperial examination, but a talent that has gone through many battles and practical experience.

How could people selected by a mere examination compare with them.

"Su Jing is right, but according to what he said, it would be best not to hold the imperial examination at all."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen and asked, "Bowen, what do you think?"

From Bowen to Chengyibo and then to Bowen, the change of Zhu Yuanzhang's title can be seen in his attitude change.

Liu Bowen immediately said: "I believe that Mr. Su is right, but the imperial examination is something that scholars all over the world yearn for, and it must be held when it should be held."

Song Lian also said: "Your Majesty, I also believe that the imperial examination is inevitable."

"Perhaps Mr. Su is right, but if we simply give up on holding it, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of scholars all over the world."

Both Liu Bowen and Song Lian have pursuits.

Their families are not small. In fact, it would definitely be more beneficial for them if they did not hold the imperial examination.

Especially Song Lian, the prince's teacher, has countless disciples and former officials, and now he is the emperor of the Hanlin Academy.

If it were still a recommendation system, how many people would have to come to him to ask for help.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two of them. He didn't know the resistance of the noble family.

Lao Zhu was well aware of the pros and cons of both parties in the imperial examination and recommendation.

For those local nobles and officials with the power to recommend, the imperial examination was a shackle that restricted the expansion of their power.

Zhu Yuanzhang also received many memorials suggesting postponing the imperial examination, with very nice reasons and various reasons.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang knew their thoughts very well.

The reason why Su Jing has been insisting on saying that the imperial examination will be suspended may not be because of the complicated relationship between pros and cons.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to see if Su Jing had any way to solve this problem.

At the same time, he also wanted to see what some people thought.
