Gaining the support of the sixteen countries was the biggest gain of Zhu Chen's trip, and Zheng He secretly accumulated an overseas influence for Zhu Chen.

After sending the envoys away, Zhu Chen also turned around and left.

Tomorrow is the official exam, he has to go back and study again, otherwise what can he do if he loses his name?

……

Jiming Temple.

Zhu Di was holding a one-man high bow and arrow, shooting in front, almost every time he shot it, it was a hundred shots.

Next to him, Ji Gang was reporting on his work.

Hearing that Zhu Chen doubled the tribute of the envoys of the Sixteen Kingdoms, even Zhu Di was shocked: "This stinky boy really gives me such a long face? ”

Ji Gang said: "Yes." ”

Zhu Di laughed: "There is a chance, the tribute will be doubled, and the Shenji Camp can be expanded and expanded." ”

This is money falling from the sky, how can Zhu Di not be happy.

"How? Have the soldiers in the barracks seen the emperor's grandson? Zhu Di continued to ask.

Ji Gang replied: "I see." ”

Zhu Di's eyes froze, and he said with a smile: "Then what is their impression of the imperial grandson?" ”

Ji Gang was slightly stunned: "I'll ask." ”

Zhu Di waved his hand: "Forget it, Jiming Temple is enough, I'll ask in person, and then tomorrow will be the hospital test, right?" I'm going to have a lot of talents again, and I'm looking forward to it, old man. ”

"Yes."

After greeting the old monk and getting off the Jiming Temple, Zhu Di went straight to the barracks.

When he arrived at the barracks, he directly turned into a veteran and went to meet a few veterans who participated in the martial arts exercise.

Those veterans, when they heard that Zhu Di inquired about Zhu Chen, they immediately became energetic.

"Hehe, you're talking about the boy who smashed the snare drum, right? That's pretty fierce. ”

"The skin of the snare drum is so hard that it takes a while to stab it with a knife, but the young man is so good that he smashed the drum through it with a drumstick."

"Haha, that boy can."

Zhu Di also smiled slightly when he heard this: "Then what do you think of him?" ”

He was asking the soldiers their impression of Zhu Chen, if the soldiers agreed with the emperor's grandson, it would be much easier to take charge of the army in the future.

Several veterans glanced at each other and smiled.

"That baby is very good!"

"I don't know which battalion it is, if it were our 3,000 battalion, it would be even better."

"If you really go to fight Warat next year, this baby will definitely be able to kill ten Mongolian cavalry in one go!"

Their words were heard in Zhu Di's ears, and Zhu Di knew it in his heart.

Just by meeting him, Zhu Chen left a good impression on the soldiers, and Zhu Di couldn't help but smile on his face.

Okay, this eldest grandson is really promising, worthy of being raised by your grandfather and me, it seems that marching and fighting is definitely not a showmanship, he is a good hand.

……

The next day, it was the day when the hospital examination began.

At that time, before dawn, the student administration office was already crowded with people, and a sea of students were queuing outside, although the door of the examination room had not yet been opened.

And Zhu Chen also got up early, and after reading the book in the courtyard for an hour, he planned to go to the examination room to line up.

And it just so happened that at this time, the old man came.

"Stinky boy, I'll send you with you for the test today." The old man walked in with a smile.

Seeing the old man, Zhu Chen raised a smile on his face: "It's here, it's just a hospital exam, you don't need to worry." ”

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense, let's go." ”

Zhu Chen smiled and nodded, followed behind Zhu Di, and the two walked towards the examination room.

On the way, Zhu Di guessed that Zhu Chen hadn't eaten again, so he asked Ji Gang to buy a few more buns at the stall and stuffed them into Zhu Chen's hands: "Eat, eat to your heart's content, and then enter the examination room." ”

This is from the old man's care.

Zhu Chen raised a smile: "Okay." ”

He quickly finished eating a few buns, and before he could speak, the old man stuffed another package for him.

"The college exam will take three days, the dry food you prepared is too poor, the teenager needs to eat more, I have changed some for you, you can take it in the examination room and eat it." Zhu Di said.

Zhu Chen was slightly stunned, and opened the package, which was full of jerky.

Zhu Chen raised his head and wanted to thank the old man, who would have thought that the old man had already gone away.

Zhu Chen's heart warmed, and he quickly chased after him.

The pace of the two masters was not slow, and they soon arrived at the examination room, and at this time, the candidates were entering the venue one after another.

There were a lot of candidates, and when they were at the very back, Zhu Di looked at so many candidates, and a smile appeared on his face: "There are more and more candidates in Daming now." ”

"Yes, it is said that tens of thousands of people have signed up for Tianfu this time." Zhu Chen also listened to what others said.

Zhu Di is a short-tempered person and is not willing to wait, but now that he is in such a long line, instead of being impatient, he is still smiling.

He is not just an immediate emperor, he knows the importance of civil officials, so he also attaches great importance to these students.

The Ming Dynasty should be regarded as the dynasty that attaches the most importance to readers.

As long as you pass the college examination and are admitted to Xiucai, you can see the county without kneeling, and you can also be exempted from taxes, which shows how much the Ming Dynasty attached importance to scholars.

"How? Are you sure? Zhu Di asked.

If you want to say anything else, Zhu Chen can talk about it, but when asked about this, Zhu Chen can only smile bitterly: "Old man, tell you the truth, it's hard to say." ”

In other words, there is no faith, right?

Zhu Di frowned slightly, and quickly stretched: "It's okay, take the test well, go ahead." ”

It was almost Zhu Chen's turn, Zhu Chen nodded with a smile, and then quickly entered the examination room.

Zhu Di stood outside the examination room, looking at Zhu Chen's figure entering, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

"Zhanji, you have to work hard, don't be looked down upon by these civil officials."

"Grandpa hasn't read in the first half of his life, he can only dance with knives and sticks, so he is always refuted by civil officials, and he is against me, even if he studies later, no matter how high his knowledge is, the civil officials still don't want to see me, they pay attention to the roots and seedlings, and they don't want to be a scholar who is a monk halfway."

"You take the test well, grandpa supports you."

"If the civil officials don't want to see you, only the military generals support you, and this court will still be uncomfortable after all."

Emperor Yongle suffered like this, he didn't want to be a shopkeeper, but as soon as he made any suggestions, these civil officials refuted him and fought against him, causing Emperor Yongle to simply ignore it.

It's the crown prince, and he is very harmonious with the civil officials.

With hope for his grandson, Zhu Di turned around and went back, the hospital exam will take three days, and the old man will come back in three days.

……

At the same time, inside the palace of the Han king.

The magnificent Han Palace's Mansion is worse than the East Palace, and it is even about to catch up with the East Palace.

At this time, in the lobby, there was a young man who looked like a scholar, kowtowing to Zhu Gaoxu.

His head was knocked very hard, and the scholar said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, don't worry, I will definitely win the position of the head of the case!" ”

The first place in the case is the first place in the hospital examination and the first place in the show.

This scholar's name is Liu Ke, and he is a student sponsored by the King of Han, not because of the kindness of the King of Han, but because the King of Han has long thought about letting his people infiltrate into the civil camp.

Moreover, the Han King now has an even bigger conspiracy.

"Remember the words of this king, as long as you can be admitted to the head of the case, as the top of the list, I can guarantee you to study in the household department, and at that time, you can consult the household file and help this king."

"In the sixth year of Yongle, the prince embezzled one million taels of silver in order to provide disaster relief to the people of Yangzhou, this matter was his private relief, the emperor does not know, but if the emperor knows, the prince will not be able to eat and walk around, he will definitely be abolished."

"It's a pity that I can't get into the household department, and I can't get the account book evidence, you have to help me."

King Han stared at the scholar with a smile on his face.

This matter was also just found out by him, but there was no evidence, if there was, he could directly report the prince for hiding from the emperor for disaster relief, buying the hearts of the people and trying to rebel!

At that time, the crown prince will surely fall.

Liu Ke kept all the words of Lord Han in his mind, and said solemnly: "Understood! ”

"Go if you understand, go through the back door, and don't let anyone find out." Zhu Gaoxu grinned.

Liu Ke hurriedly retreated, went out from the back door of the Han Palace, and hurried to the examination room.

Zhu Gaoxu grinned: "Boss, do you say you are stupid?" Dare to hide from the old man to give disaster relief to the people of Yangzhou privately, and also gave disaster relief of one million taels, aren't you looking for death yourself? Those people are more important than their own princes? It's really brain-in-water. ”

"That's right, the old brain is full of fat intestines, isn't it a pig's brain? Hahaha. ”
