Zhu Biao looked at Liu Jin and said, "Why are you serving so many dishes, Liu Jin, didn't I tell you not to be extravagant and wasteful?" ”

Liu Jin replied on the side: "Master, you have been busy for a day, the slave maid wants you to eat more, the slave maid is willing to receive the punishment, you eat first." ”

Zhu Biao shook his head: "The rest of it will be eaten up in a while, and you are not allowed to waste it."

After Liu Jin thanked him, Zhu Biao also began to move chopsticks, as the saying goes, half the size of the child eats the poor old man, although Zhu Yuanzhang will not be eaten poor, but it can also be seen how much a man can eat at this time.

After Zhu Biao finished eating, he left Liu Jin and the others to sweep the tail, and led Nuan Yu around the courtyard of the East Palace, and after walking for a while, Zhu Biao suddenly asked Nuan Yu: "Is there anyone else in your family?" ”

Nuan Yu was happily following behind Zhu Biao, and was stunned when she heard this: In addition to her parents, there seem to be two younger brothers in the slave maid's family, but she has not seen her since she entered the palace when she was a child. ”

Zhu Biao nodded: "Do you want to go back and see you?" ”

Nuan Yu shook her head: "The slave maid will send people out of the palace if they send out the monthly money, but the slave maid doesn't want to see them." ”

Zhu Biao nodded, without the suffering of others, don't persuade others to be kind, Zhu Biao still remembers the first time he saw Nuan Yu, that is, although he has been raised in Wu Wangfu for a period of time, he is still skinny, and he is timid, extremely timid, it can be seen that she is not living well at home.

Nuan Yu is now willing to give away her monthly money, which is already very filial, after all, her parents have already received her money from selling her body.

After walking a few more laps, Zhu Biao went back to sleep, and he had to carefully inspect the Enke examination room tomorrow.

The next day, after Zhu Biao got up and washed, he used a bowl of porridge, and then walked directly towards the newly built Enke Kao Dynasty, Song Lian had also arrived, the imperial examination was imminent, and Zhu Yuanzhang had already exempted him from the early court.

After the master and apprentice saw the ceremony, they walked inside, and now they are about to step through a door, on which is depicted with a dragon pattern, which means that the carp jumps over the dragon gate.

The courtyard is also quite bright, but when it comes to the place where the students really take the exam, it is a big disappointment, Zhu marked the number of the house, which is five feet long, four feet wide, and eight feet high, all of which are single rooms, each row of number rooms is numbered by a certain word, there are about more than 100 rooms, all facing the south into a long alley. The width of the lane is more than four feet, there is a gate at the mouth of the lane, a certain number is written on the wall of the frieze, and the number lamp and the water tank are placed side by side.

Zhu Biao sat in and felt it, there were only two detachable planks and a chair inside, the two planks were stacked together to form a table during the exam, and the two pieces were put together at night to form a bed, if the taller and stronger scholars were afraid that they would not even be able to stretch their legs.

Zhu Biao simulated the answer sheet, only to feel very uncomfortable, like being locked in a cage, and inexplicably began to feel bored in his heart, Zhu Biao got up and walked out and said to Song Lian: "I can't eat or sleep well, and I have to rack my brains to answer the questions, this is really difficult." ”

Song Lian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The carp jumping over the dragon gate must not experience suffering, what is this little thing?" ”

Zhu Biao thought about it, compared with the glorious ancestor after being admitted, this little thing is not unbearable. ”

Zhu Biao walked around, and also looked at the legendary stinky number, but he could imagine what kind of torture the candidates who could sit here had to endure.

Song Lian looked almost away and asked, "Your Highness is satisfied, is there anything that needs to be improved?" ”

Zhu Biao said: "If there is a spare space in the examination room, just seal the stinky number." ”

Song Lian nodded, Zhu Biao also said goodbye to his teacher, since he saw those talents in the imperial examination, Zhu Biao's enthusiasm for the imperial examination has dropped a lot, and he is unwilling to waste his time on them anymore.

got up and walked directly in the direction of Zhongshu Province, at this time, the morning dynasty had already fallen, and he was going to talk to Li Shanchang.

All the way to Zhongshu Province, as soon as he stepped in, he heard a noise, Zhu Biao waved his hand to stop the actions of several officials who were about to salute, and when he stepped forward, he heard the voices of Yang Xian and Hu Weiyong.

Both sides have a tough attitude, but it can be clearly felt that Yang Xian took the initiative, and Hu Weiyong just wanted to keep the bottom line.

Yang Xian looked at Hu Weiyong coldly and said: The charter formulated by this official was approved by the Holy Lord, what is the problem? ”

Hu Weiyong sneered: "What a flattering and bullying Zhongshu Zuoxiang, you asked us to complete official business in a short period of time, do you know that the instructions issued by Zhongshu Province are related to the society, and some government affairs are not properly discussed, and it is going to cause a big mess if they are issued directly!" ”

Yang Xian snorted: "That's the reason why you pressed a matter for half a month before approving it?" This official tells you that the administrative efficiency of Zhongshu Province must be improved, and it must not be delayed again and again. ”

Zhu Biao shook his head and didn't bother to get involved, there is no right or wrong in this matter, and he can't issue instructions at will for the sake of administrative efficiency, but the habitual procrastination of government affairs in Zhongshu Province is also wrong.

However, this matter must have ended in Yang Xian's victory, because there was Zhu Yuanzhang standing behind him, and Hu Weiyong also knew this, the emperor had long been dissatisfied with the efficiency of Zhongshu Province in handling things, so he deliberately used Yang Xian to stimulate them.

But political things, it doesn't mean that you don't need to do it if you know the result, Yang Xian is in the limelight, combined with the Zhedong Party desperately squeezing the Huaixi nobles, since Hu Weiyong wants to take over Li Shanchang's class, then he must step forward to express his position, even if he is defeated, I will never let Yang Xian be presumptuous.

Zhu Biao walked to Li Shanchang's room, he had been waiting here for a long time, and bowed to Zhu Biao: "The old minister participates in His Highness, His Highness has a thousand years." ”

Zhu Biao stretched out his hand to help him up: "Li Xiang is too polite, go in and talk." ”

Li Shanchang turned sideways and welcomed Zhu Biao in, while Liu Jin stayed outside the door.

Zhu Biao was not polite, and sat directly on Li Shanchang's photo chair and said, "Don't you plan to take care of this noisy Xiangguo?" ”

Li Shanchang poured a cup of tea for Zhu Biao, then sat on a chair next to him and said, "It's okay to be noisy, Zhongshu has slept for too long, and he should have been spurred a few times ago." It's just that they are all protégés of the old minister, and the old minister is not too harsh on them. ”

Zhu Biao picked up the cup and blew: "Looking at Li Xiang, he really regards Hu Weiyong as his successor." ”

Li Shanchang smiled: "The minister is selfish, but Hu Weiyong is indeed a talented king, and there is no more suitable candidate than him in the Manchu Dynasty, not to mention that he also has great respect for His Royal Highness, and he has praised you many times in front of the minister." ”

Zhu Biao took a sip of slightly bitter tea and said: "When the prime minister of the dynasty is not only from Huaixi, I am afraid that he will not be able to convince the public." ”

Li Shanchang also took a sip and said: "Actually, Liu Bowen is also qualified, but his temperament is in conflict with the saint, if it is really the party that becomes the prime minister, I am afraid it will not be a good death." ”

Zhu Biao glanced at Li Shanchang, but decided to say a few more words, Li Shanchang is not young, and he has made great contributions to Zhu Mingming, Liu Bang has killed a lot of heroes, but he didn't kill Xiao He.

Zhu Biao plans to complete the friendship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shanchang, so that Li Shanchang can spend his old age in peace, not to mention that Li Shanchang is also Zhu Biao's father-in-law.
