After leaving the main hall, Zhu Yuanzhang went directly back to Fengxian Hall.
Behind him was Zhu Biao. How could Su Jing be allowed into the court? Zhu Biao was the most critical.
"Biao'er, now that Su Jing is unwilling to enter the court, is there anything you can do to make him willingly serve as a distant uncle?"
Zhu Yuanzhang got straight to the point and asked directly.
In the entire Ming Dynasty, the person who had the closest relationship with Su Jing was Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao replied: "Father, Master Su's decision cannot be changed. There are some things that I think cannot be forced."
Until this moment, Zhu Biao was still fighting for Su Jing.
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Biao and said: "Biao'er, you are the prince and the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so you should understand that Su Jing entering the court is the best choice for him."
"What I'm asking now is how to make him willing to be the distant uncle. Just answer my question."
Zhu Yuanzhang certainly understands the feelings between Zhu Biao and Su Jing.
But love cannot replace the eternal prosperity of Lao Zhu's family. For Lao Zhu's family, Su Jing must enter the court smoothly.
All the roads are paved, no matter what happens, we can't say we won't leave.
Zhu Biao was silent and thought for a long time.
He suddenly recalled that he had made an agreement with Su Jing when he set off from Yingtian Mansion to Laizhou Mansion last year.
It was a small bet between Su Jing and Zhu Biao when they gave way to an official who came to Beijing.
"Father, I may have a solution."
Zhu Biao said.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became energetic and asked: "What can we do?"
Zhu Biao then told Zhu Yuanzhang about the bet at that time. Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Okay, very good, Biao'er, you should go to Su Jing to study as usual. When I find out the news about this official, I will tell you naturally." of."
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, this matter was already a certainty.
Because according to the time at that time, it was the Kongyin case that punished a large number of officials, resulting in a vacancy, so a group of officials were mobilized from other places to Beijing.
Those who could be elected at that time were all outstanding local officials.
This is a good performance and a proper promotion.
"Yes, Father."
Zhu Biao nodded, turned and left.
As soon as Zhu Biao left, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to investigate the official who was there when Su Jing left Yingtian.
With detailed data on time and location, officials from the Ministry of Personnel immediately began to inquire.
Soon, the information was delivered to Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, upon opening it, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression immediately changed.
Ma Zhiyuan!
Head of the Department of Household Affairs Branch.
"How could it be him?"
Zhu Yuanzhang murmured that he still had some impressions of Ma Zhiyuan.
At the annual banquet in the palace, Ma Zhiyuan successfully attracted Zhu Yuanzhang's attention with packed meals. After that, he was listed on the Ministry of Revenue's list of corruption and was thrown into jail.
Originally, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's decision, his family would be implicated.
But because of Queen Ma's plea, Ma Zhiyuan was sentenced to be executed in the end.
At this moment, Ma Zhiyuan is still in prison, waiting for the autumn to come.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was excited just now, suddenly fell to the bottom of his mood.
Ma Zhiyuan was thrown into jail, which means that Zhu Biao lost the bet between Zhu Biao and Su Jing.
"Su Jing must be cheating!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.
After all, with the guidance of the nine-year compulsory education teacher in her dream, it doesn't seem very strange that Su Jing can know the life of Ma Zhiyuan.
"Su Jing!"
Zhu Yuanzhang became angrier the more he thought about it.
The goal of getting Su Jing to actively join the court is getting further and further away now.
"Chongba, why did Mr. Su make you angry again?"
Empress Ma walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's side with a smile.
She was happier than anyone else that Zhu Biao was back safely. She was in a good mood now.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook off Ma Zhiyuan's information in his hand and said, "That guy Su Jing is so incompetent that he is still playing riddles with me."
When Queen Ma heard this, she immediately understood.
She smiled and said: "Hahahaha, Chongba, I told you a long time ago that things are not certain yet. Mr. Su's temperament means that he has never thought about becoming an official."
"Sister, why are you still laughing at me? Isn't it for Su Jing to enter the court so that Biao'er can have a stable situation in the future? Now Su Jing is pretending to be dead, what do you think we should do?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said a little dissatisfied.
Queen Ma is aware of the recent changes in the situation in the court.
As Zhu Yuanzhang's most trusted pillowcase, Queen Ma knew everything that Zhu Biao didn't know.
Lao Zhu worked hard to build momentum for Su Jing and granted him the title of Ren Yuanbo. He had already dealt with Queen Ma in these matters.
It is precisely because of this that Zhu Yuanzhang is so dissatisfied with being laughed at by Empress Ma.
"What to do?"
Empress Ma glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, and then glanced at the information that Zhu Yuanzhang had just thrown on the table: "Didn't I tell you earlier that when you treat Mr. Su, you must treat him with sincerity, don't make such twists and turns, take the initiative to confess, be honest and honest" That’s the best way.”
Treat them with sincerity and openness.
This is the principle that Empress Ma has always believed in. Before Lao Zhu became the emperor, Lao Zhu also believed in it.
All the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty had received many courtesy from Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang can gather such a large group of top talents around him, and he naturally has a unique personality charm.
But after becoming emperor, some things will eventually change.
Power is the goal pursued by countless people, and it will also change people.
When the world was uncertain, Zhu Yuanzhang had too many opponents to face. At that time, he was not the most powerful one.
But now, even though the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty have not yet been wiped out, the Ming Dynasty is already the strongest.
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's humility and courteous corporal gradually changed subtly.
"Sister, what are you talking about? What do you mean by being open and honest? Am I not open and honest enough with Su Jing? Books and newspapers praised his achievements, and Uncle Ren Yuan also banned him. What else does he want?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.
In his opinion, he was absolutely courteous to Su Jing.
At this time, Su Jing was totally ignorant!
Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked, "Tell me, what did you say when you went to see Mr. Su?"
"good."
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately described what he saw and heard in Niu Mansion to Queen Ma in detail, including what he eavesdropped next door, and he didn't miss anything.
"Mr. Su really said that this Northern Expedition will be a great victory!"
Queen Ma's focus was first on the Northern Expedition.
With such an all-out effort, Ming Dynasty had mobilized almost half of its military power. If it failed, it would be a big deal.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Yes, Su Jing made it very clear. Yuchun and Lan Yu were both there at the time, but I have already sent someone to tell them. Don't let the news leak out for the time being."
"Well, Chongba, you are right. The Northern Expedition is of great importance, and it is not suitable to spread it now."
Empress Ma's face darkened, and she continued: "It seems that Mr. Su has a very clear view of your purpose, Chongba, whether it is the expedition or the court situation."
All gifts in destiny have their prices secretly marked.
When Empress Ma heard this, she understood why Su Jing refused Zhu Yuanzhang's offer of a title from Duke Renyuan.
Su Jing has realized that this is not a simple reward.
"Sister, this is why I'm angry. This kid Su Jing obviously has a clear conscience, but he pretends not to know anything. I didn't reveal his identity, so he kept acting with me!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said with great indignation.
Zhu Yuanzhang is almost a famous figure, but Su Jing still goes her own way.
To put it nicely, he was just acting, but to put it badly, he just didn't take him seriously as the emperor.
That is to say, Zhu Yuanzhang is now convinced that Su Jing will make immeasurable contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, Su Jing has multiple buffs superimposed on him.
Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would not spoil Su Jing.
"Chongba, let me ask you, is Mr. Su an ordinary person?"
Queen Ma asked Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately replied: "Of course not. If Su Jing is an ordinary person, then there will be no ordinary people in this world."
Su Jing, even though Zhu Yuanzhang was well-informed and surrounded by countless talents, he still felt that Su Jing was extraordinary.
Empress Ma said: "That's it. Mr. Su is not an ordinary person. How can you treat him like an ordinary person? Chongba, where are the humility and magnanimity you had during the uprising? Now that you have become the emperor, you cannot give in." ?”
Queen Ma's words made Zhu Yuanzhang speechless.
Of course he knew what Queen Ma said, but knowing it didn't mean he could accept it.
At the time of the uprising, Zhu Yuanzhang did not know what his future fate would be, so he naturally wanted to unite all forces that could be united.
Now the overall situation has been decided, and the world is in his hands.
Zhu Yuanzhang really couldn't bow his head to a guy like Su Jing.
"Sister, I..."
"Okay, stop talking. I know what you think. Don't explain it. Let's talk about Ma Zhiyuan."
Queen Ma directly interrupted Zhu Yuanzhang's words and pointed to Ma Zhiyuan's information on the table.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately briefly described the bet between Zhu Biao and Su Jing.
"In other words, when Mr. Su met Ma Zhiyuan by chance, he already knew his current fate?"
Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with shock in her eyes.
Zhu Yuanzhang said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Su Jing had Teacher Jiu teaching him history in his dream. It is normal to know this kind of thing."
A nine-year compulsory education teacher has now become Zhu Yuanzhang's fundamental reason for explaining all of Su Jing's powers.
However, Queen Ma immediately pointed out what was wrong.
"Chongba, you told me personally about the class in Mr. Su's dream. Those nine years of volunteer teachers taught history. Are the people who can be specially recorded in history, ordinary people?"
Queen Ma said: "Ma Zhiyuan is just the head of the Household Department, a sixth-rank official. He has never done anything earth-shattering. If it were in the history books, there is a high probability that he will not even have a name."
"Although Mr. Su is attending class in a dream, I don't think he will understand the life of the head of the Sixth Rank Household Department."
After hearing Empress Ma's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
Not everything is recorded in history books. Ordinary people and events are not qualified to be included in history books.
Judging from Ma Zhiyuan's current situation, the most he can do is to be mentioned briefly in the history books, not the kind of mentioned mention.
Instead, it discusses the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's punishment of a group of corrupt officials in the third year of Hongwu.
Therefore, it is unlikely that Su Jing learned about Ma Zhiyuan from her ninth-year compulsory education teacher.
"But sister, since Su Jing didn't know about it in advance, how did he know about Ma Zhiyuan's situation? According to Biao'er, they just gave in and didn't even meet."
Zhu Yuanzhang said doubtfully.
Previously, it was only believed that Su Jing had the ability to predict the future, so it was not surprising that Su Jing knew everything.
Now that we know that there is a nine-year compulsory education teacher, it is very strange that Su Jing still knows things that she shouldn't know.
Empress Ma shook her head and said: "I don't know about this, but Mr. Su has learned a lot, so this is not an extraordinary thing. If you really want to know about Chongba, you might as well ask Biao'er to ask. Anyway, this is theirs." A bet.”
Queen Ma is not as strange as Zhu Yuanzhang, she simply believes in Su Jing.
Because I believe, it is simple.
"That's right, girl, you are smart, I can just let Biao'er ask if you can!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly.
Empress Ma smiled and said, "I'm telling you, Chongba, you have put too much effort into Mr. Su. Mr. Su is not as complicated as you think."
"Yes, sister, you are right, it was my mistake."
Zhu Yuanzhang echoed, but he didn't know how much he actually listened to it.
…
the other side.
In Niu Mansion, Zhu Biao and Zhu Ru returned to Su Jing's side.
"Master Su, this is the student's learning progress and doubts during this period. I would like to ask Master Su to take a look."
Zhu Tie took a thick note and placed it in front of Su Jing.
He did not go to Laizhou Mansion with Su Jing, but during this time, he never relaxed in his studies.
The most important thing in Su Jing's teachings is the ability to learn by yourself.
Therefore, even without Su Jing's personal guidance during this period, Zhu Rui's progress was still huge.
"Okay, Niu Su, then I will help you take a closer look."
Su Jing nodded and immediately began to look through Zhu Ju's notes.
Su Jing looked at it very seriously, because he had great expectations for Zhu Jing, and the content of Zhu Jing's notes also gave Su Jing a big surprise.
"Not bad!"
Su Jing kept praising as she read through it.
Whether it is self-study knowledge, doubts, or the process of thinking and solving, Zhu Ru writes in great detail.
Su Jing can understand from this that Zhu Rui was really studying hard during this period.
At the same time, in the field of botany that Zhu Ru was most interested in, under the "advanced" conditions of the Agricultural College, Zhu Ru also achieved a lot of success.
Zhu Ru has actually reproduced some of the small experiments he designed in the small courtyard in Lishui County.
Some succeed, some fail.
In the spirit of seeking truth from facts, Zhu Ru recorded them all.
If not, who could have imagined that these were the notes of a ten-year-old child in the Ming Dynasty?
After reading it for almost two hours, Su Jing finally finished reading it all.
During this period, Zhu Rui stood silently beside Su Jing.
Su Jing closed her notes, looked at Zhu Ju and said, "Niu Su, spring is about to begin. We can start preparations for the pea hybridization experiment that I told you last year."
