Chapter 25: The Temple Examination Begins

In the small courtyard, Zhu Yang was reading a book, and Liu Yuan ran in from outside: "Young master, the imperial court has just posted a notice, and Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, has cut himself!" ”

"What about Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin?" Zhu Yang put down the book in his hand and looked up and asked.

"It was said that he was demoted to a commoner and escorted to Fengyang for seclusion on a certain day, but the emperor did not depose the title of King of Qin, but gave it to Zhu Zhang's eldest son Zhu Shangbing, and let him continue to stay in Chang'an to deal with the affairs of the domain!" Liu Yuan said the news he inquired about.

After listening to Liu Yuan's story, Zhu Yang smashed his mouth, Zhu Yuanzhang attaches so much importance to family affection, this time he imprisoned his son and killed his nephew's son, it is estimated that his heart is broken.

However, this news is the most imperfect for Zhu Yang.

"In order to make our majesty feel better, you go and arrange for Li Wu to go to Fengyang, and when Zhu Fan arrives in Fengyang, he will find almost a start, and let him reunite with Li Jinglong as soon as possible, so as not to make Li Jinglong wait too much!" Zhu Yang touched his chin and said.

At the beginning, Li Jinglong opened the head of the rumor, and Zhu Fan took the opportunity to lay out the prince, but it was Zhu Yang who bore the brunt of the damage.

Since Zhu Yang didn't care about Zhu Yang's life or death, Zhu Yang naturally wouldn't show mercy.

And Li Jinglong is dead, how can Zhu Fan live alone in this world? Otherwise, Li Jinglong would be so lonely.

"In addition, inform the people in Ryukyu and ask them to step up their preparations, the plan for Luzon has been basically completed, and it is time to harvest ......" Zhu Yang pondered for a while and continued to command.

The date of the palace examination is approaching, and the task of the imperial examination given by the adoptive father is almost completed, and there is no point in staying in the capital any longer.

And what happened in the capital these days made Zhu Yang a little uneasy here, he always felt that someone was calculating something behind his back.

There is also the death of Li Jinglong, which made Zhu Yang a little uncertain about the future trend, especially the battle of Jingjing in the first year of Jianwen.

Although Zhu Di is fierce, without the help of the other party's pig teammates, it is not so easy to succeed in the Battle of Jingjing.

In view of this, Zhu Yang is also prepared with two hands: if Zhu Di succeeds in Jingnan, he will go to North America to be his own emperor according to the original plan; If Zhu Dijing is difficult to succeed, then the Ming Dynasty will be the first and then the Americas, although the Ming Dynasty will not fall into the empire, although it is difficult to read, but after reading for a long time, it will be smooth.

As for Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yang has always felt that his disappearance or self-immolation is the best choice.

After arranging everything, Zhu Yang picked up the book again and studied it carefully.

The exams he experienced before the crossing had too much impact on Zhu Yang, and as a result, even if Zhu Yang crossed over, he always felt that if he didn't pass the exam, there would be a stern teacher waiting in the office to scold him, or directly make a big move to call his parents.

I feel trembling when I think about it.

……

Time passed day by day, and the palace examination was also coming under the expectation of many students.

In the early morning, before dawn, Zhu Yang was led by the eunuch to the Fengtian Palace, which will be the examination room for all the tributes to participate in the palace examination.

Although the palace examination is only a one-day test, there are many etiquettes.

According to the process established by the Ministry of Rites, all tributes must go through the rituals of roll call, scattering, praising and bowing before receiving the examination papers.

It's just that this time it is strange to everyone that Zhu Yuanzhang, who is the emperor, did not appear, and the ministers announced that they occasionally felt cold and unwell.

Zhu Biao, the crown prince of the prison state, also did not appear, saying that he wanted to deal with important military affairs.

Originally, Zhu Yang planned to take this opportunity to take a good peek at Zhu Yuanzhang to verify whether it was really a shoehorn face, but now he can't see it.

Zhu Yang sighed regretfully in his heart while focusing on the Fengtian Palace.

Fengtian Hall is located on the north-south main axis of the Nanjing Forbidden City, on the top of the load-bearing eaves palace, sits on the top of the three-story Han steps, faces nine rooms, and enters five rooms deep.

The left side of the Fengtian Temple is the middle left door, and the right is the middle right door. In front of the palace is the wide court, the east is the Wen Building, and the west is the Wu Building. The front gate of the main hall is the Fengtian Gate, the left is the left red gate (later renamed the East Corner Gate), and the right is the right red gate (later renamed the West Corner Gate). There are two wings outside the door, the left wing door, the right wing door, and the south is the inner five dragon bridges.

The Taihe Hall seen in Beijing in later generations was actually built according to the Fengtian Temple in Nanjing, and later after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Fengtian Hall was changed to the Taihe Palace, and it was also called the Jinluan Palace.

Speaking of which, the Nanjing Forbidden City at this time still has the reputation of "the world's first palace".

Buildings throughout the Ming and Qing dynasties can basically be found here.

It's a pity that after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he imitated the Beijing Forbidden City in Beijing according to the appearance of the Nanjing Forbidden City and on the basis of the Yuan Dynasty Imperial Palace.

Since then, the Nanjing Forbidden City has been gradually abandoned.

Later, only traces of its appearance could be seen on the remaining foundations.

Zhu Yang sighed, there are too many buildings in Chinese history that have been lost in the long river of time, unless they are crossed, future generations can only see its original restoration map on the computer.

If all the well-known buildings of the 5,000 years in China are preserved, future generations will not need to read the text, just look at these buildings to know how brilliant and gorgeous the Chinese culture is.

It's a pity that there are no ifs in this world, only remnants of ruins.

……

"Rite Finish"

With the loud singing of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the process before the palace examination was finally completed, and Zhu Yang came to the table of the examination with the public.

A group of forbidden soldiers walked over with test papers.

The palace examination has officially begun!

Zhu Yang smelled the fragrance of ink, opened the test paper, and sure enough, it was a policy question: "The successive saints of the past are one after another, the great unification and the control of the universe, the establishment of the outline of Chen Ji, the etiquette and music are clear, and the clothes should be cured." How can he be from Funing, young and strong, the inner turmoil in China, the outside into the eight wilderness, the horse fetal foal in the ranks, the banner is even in the border, this fruit is easy to kill and have this? Or do you want to peep and if it is? Looking at the past, it is also very difficult! Now I want to take the opportunity to fight far away, hang my clothes to cure, and I am afraid that the barbarians will have a lot of teeth, and they will suffer for China in a few decades. At this moment, it seems that the opportunity to take advantage of this is lost, isn't it hateful? Now there is no judgment, and it is in the opportunity to never (戍), which can be not, all the scribes discuss it, in order to properly inside and outside, I will see it in person. "

This question mainly deals with the issues of national defense strategy and national construction.

The opening chapter of the policy question talks about the unification of the ancient holy kings of the four seas, "Ligang Chen Ji. Etiquette and music", you can hang your clothes and rule.

Then he talked about the reality of the Ming Dynasty: due to the border wars for many years, the people did not get peace, which affected the normal economic construction of the country.

Now I (Zhu Yuanzhang) want to take the opportunity to calm the border troubles, but the people can't produce with peace of mind; If you are worried that the development of barbarians will threaten the safety of the Ming Dynasty in a few years, then you will regret missing the opportunity today, I (Zhu Yuanzhang) is now undecided, you write a good way to be inside and outside, I (Zhu Yuanzhang) will personally read it.
