Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer entangled in the issue of immortality, Hu Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang was not as extreme as Yin and Yang, and he didn't have to make up an Arctic lie to deceive people.

"Your Majesty, regarding this imperial examination fraud case, Weichen did not dare to speak more. After all, there is no right to speak without investigation, and Wechen has just come back, and he only understands a rough idea. However, Weichen has the redrawn list of Jinshi in the palace examination list in his hand, which can give the emperor a look. ”

Hu Ye said and took out Yin Changlong's new list from his arms, in fact, he knew that there was no problem at all in this imperial examination, but he didn't dare to say that, Zhu Yuanzhang was not so easy to talk to.

You must know that what Zhu Yuanzhang hates most is corruption and perverting the law, whether you have it or not, as long as someone reports it, you will be convicted first.

Moreover, the results of this palace examination are too strange, all of them are southern scholars, so Zhu Yuanzhang naturally wants to be suspicious.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Xiao Lizi to take the new list in Hu Ye's hand, opened it, and found that there were not only southern scholars on the list, but also several northern scholars.

"Okay, I'll just say that there is a problem with the imperial examination this time." After Zhu Yuanzhang finished reading it, he slapped it on the table, and then yelled, "Come on, go Liu Sanwu and arrest me!" ”

Hu Ye was stunned, what kind of situation is this, isn't it just a new list, can you go now, Liu Sanwu, that old man, arrest him?

"Could it be that Liu Sanwu was imprisoned by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was also to blame?" Hu Ye muttered in his heart, looking at this Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, it doesn't look like he wants to let Liu Sanwu go, could it be that he asked Yin Changlong to write the name of the northern scholar on the list, which is the culprit who caused Liu Sanwu to be imprisoned?

"Calm and calm, even if it's not me, Yin Changlong will still write the name of the northern scholar on the list, and not only Yin Changlong can write it, but also a few candidates can write it, I just let history advance a little bit." Hu Ye calmed down.

"Boy. This Yin Changlong is now living in your mansion? Are you involved in this list? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the list in his hand and suddenly asked Hu Ye.

"Ahh No no! This matter was completely done by Yin Changlong alone, how could Weichen influence his thoughts. Hu Ye hurriedly cleared up the relationship.

In less than a stick of incense, the elderly Liu Sanwu had already come to Fengtian Temple, but he took pity on this old man, and he was arrested in the middle of the night to Fengtian Temple.

"Liu Sanwu! You are guilty! ”

As soon as Liu Sanwu came, before he could say the words long live my emperor, long live long live, he was questioned loudly by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Weichen not only committed any crime, but also asked the emperor to show him." Liu Sanwu is still the same. Unhurried, even though Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, he still did not move.

"Hmph, go and see for yourself, this is the new list you set for the list."

Zhu Yuanzhang threw down the new list as he spoke.

Liu Sanwu stepped forward, picked up the list, looked at it carefully, and naturally found something strange in it.

"Your Majesty, this Zhao Gang, Liu Shengyuan and other ten people's test papers have been read by Weichen. It's not enough to get into the sergeant at all, and this list is a fallacy. After Liu Sanwu looked at the list, he multiplied the list again, and then said with the same expression.

Hu Ye had to admire Liu Sanwu, an old man. This is even calmer than Yan Shenggong, worthy of being a great Confucian.

"You... You have the ability to say it again! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry with Liu Sanwu, and at this time, he didn't let go.

In fact, he just wants to give an explanation to the northern scholars. As long as Liu Sanwu admits that there is a problem with the original imperial list, even if Liu Sanwu is really corrupt, it is impossible for him to kill Liu Sanwu, right?

He was afraid that Liu Sanwu would not come to his senses. If he doesn't admit it, even he has no choice.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this list is still a fallacy, and the northern scholars above are not worthy of being a junior scholar." Liu Sanwu still said quietly, as if he didn't take Zhu Yuanzhang's anger in his eyes.

"I'm angry! I'm angry! Zhu Yuanzhang was glared at by the angry blowing of his beard, and almost didn't catch his breath, so he quickly took a sip of tea and went down to his stomach, and then he was relieved.

"Come on, put this old thing in prison for me, and wait for trial at a later date!" After relieving his breath, Zhu Yuanzhang roared loudly.

Immediately, two fierce guards walked in, and Liu Sanwu was about to be arrested and put in prison.

Hu Ye had to admire this old man Liu, at this time, his face did not change, he was worthy of being a stone in the pit, smelly and hard, at this time, it was time to go out by himself.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that there must be something strange about this matter, and you need to think twice." Hu Ye stepped forward and said loudly.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang heard Hu Ye speak, his right hand was raised, and the two guards put Liu Sanwu down.

After being let go, Liu Sanwu looked at Hu Ye, why hadn't he seen this kid before? Why did the emperor listen to what he said?

"Boy, tell me what's going on?" Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard, in fact, he didn't believe that Liu Sanwu would be corrupt and bend the law, after all, he was so old, and he saw all his previous political achievements.

However, Liu Sanwu is too stubborn and refuses to bend his waist at all, so he can't get off the stage, and if he doesn't rectify it, he is angry.

"Your Majesty, this palace examination is all among the southern scholars, which is indeed a bit strange." Hu Ye opened his mouth and said.

"Boy, if you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense."

Liu Sanwu looked at Hu Ye coldly and said loudly.

Hu Ye ignored Liu Sanwu, but continued, "Although this matter is strange, there is a reason for it. ”

"Oh, tell me about it." Zhu Yuanzhang became interested and asked curiously.

Liu Sanwu also looked at Hu Ye curiously, thinking that this kid was not simple, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, he dared to talk in front of the murderous demon king Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, the Mongolian iron cavalry went south that year, conquered most of the Central Plains, and brought their set to the Central Plains. Therefore, the north has always been under their ravage, and there is no time to learn the Confucian system. On the contrary, in the south, because the Southern Song Dynasty resisted for many years, the economy and culture of the south have always been deeply influenced by Confucian culture, so once they participate in the imperial examination, their strength and weakness will appear. ”

"So although this imperial examination is strange, it is also reasonable." Hu Ye analyzed, and recited the analysis of the North and South List cases in the future.

"Oh? You mean, this Liu Sanwu and they are not corrupt? And none of the northern scholars are on the list, because they think that my governance is inadequate, which will cause such a big gap between the north and the south? Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

Ruan An behind him hurriedly glanced at Hu Ye, and shut up if he wanted to live.

Hu Ye also broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, this Zhu Yuanzhang is worthy of Zhu Yuanzhang, no wonder there were so many literary prisons back then.

I just told the truth, and I deducted my hat for this product, and I also blamed him for his lack of governance.

"The emperor is angry, Weichen doesn't mean this, the emperor is naturally well-governed. You see that now the country and the people are safe, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, even last year's drought did not have any impact on Daming. Moreover, the Mongols in the north were also driven out of the Central Plains, and Goryeo in the east also paid tribute every year, these are the great achievements of the emperor, how can it be that there is no way to govern. Hu Ye was in a cold sweat, don't talk back to Zhu Yuanzhang at this time, he is not as good at talking as Zhu Di.

Liu Sanwu glanced at Hu Ye with disdain, he thought that Hu Ye was a loyal and good general, but he didn't expect that he was also a sycophant.

"And what do you mean?" After Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Hu Ye's sycophant, his face looked a little better, and he asked Hu Ye again.

Ruan An's face softened at this time, and sure enough, everyone likes to listen to sycophants.

Hu Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized what it means to be a companion like a tiger, if it weren't for his wit, maybe he would have been imprisoned with Liu Sanwu.

Only then did I remember the book review I had heard before, saying that Zhu Yuanzhang's minister went to the court every day as if he was on the battlefield, and when he went out in the morning, he had to leave a suicide note, in case he didn't come back.

"Back to the emperor, Weichen means that there are some things that are beyond the reach of manpower, and the north is brave and good at fighting, and they don't attach much importance to the imperial examination, so they are naturally much weaker in the imperial examination. So as for whether Lord Liu is corrupt or not, Weichen doesn't dare to assert, but there is some truth in the result of this imperial examination. Hu Ye replied.

"Oh, you've been around for a long time, and you still want to exonerate Liu Sanwu after the end, do you mean that I am indiscriminate?" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly again.

Hu Ye's cold sweat came out, which is the emperor, this is clearly a scoundrel, when did he exonerate Liu Sanwu? Obviously, he said that he didn't dare to assert whether Liu Sanwu was corrupt or not.

When did you say you were indiscriminate? Are you seated in the right seat?

Of course, these Hu Ye only dare to say it in their hearts, and they still have to be respectful and respectful.

"The emperor misunderstood, Weichen just talked about the cultural differences between the northern and southern scholars, and had no other meaning."

Hu Ye broke out in a cold sweat and decided to end his conversation, he was afraid that if he continued to talk, he would be pulled close to a dead end by Zhu Yuanzhang, because whatever he said, Zhu Yuanzhang would feel that it was slander.

"Is this what you call weird? Could it be that I feel that I am old, and my mind can't keep up with you young people, and I want to play tricks on me? Zhu Yuanzhang still said unrelentingly.

Hu Ye collapsed, this Zhu Yuanzhang is worthy of being the most humble emperor born in Chinese history, and he is invincible in the world even if he is shameless, Zhu Di is a small witch compared to him.

"Wechen don't dare, Wechen don't dare." Hu Ye quickly knelt down, he decided that he would not enter the palace if he was killed in the future, this Zhu Yuanzhang was too terrible.

"Your Majesty, I don't think that kid meant that, he just said what he thought. Moreover, his master has lived in the mountains for a long time, but he knows everything about the world's major affairs, and what the kid said must have been influenced by his master, and there may be some truth. Ruan An also said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to have a mysterious master, so tell me how to solve this matter? If I can tell you why, I can spare you for today's rudeness, and if you can't say why, I will punish you and Liu Sanwu together. Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly. (To be continued......)
