Chapter Twenty-Seven: Prelude to the Storm

As the sun sets, when the last afterglow falls, the palace test is also announced to be over at this moment.

Zhu Yang put down his pen and blew ink on the test paper, and a "gluttonous plan" of nearly 5,000 words was completed.

If this plan can be implemented, Da Ming will become a giant beast, and the world will tremble for it.

But can this plan be implemented? Or even said that Zhu Yuanzhang could see this test paper? How do you feel when you see it?

Zhu Yang felt that the enthusiasm he had just put pen to paper was gone.

According to the palace examination procedure, the next step is to collect the papers, palm papers and seal the candidates' test papers, and the marking will start the next day.

Zhu Yang dragged his tired body back to the small courtyard, and as soon as he entered the door, Liu Yuan walked over with a happy face and said, "Young master, how did you do in the exam, is the champion at your fingertips?" ”

"Champion? , it's gone! Zhu Yang said angrily.

"What's the matter, didn't you take the test, young master?" Liu Yuan asked in surprise, "You won't go to have a private meeting with Miss Xu from the Wei State Mansion during the palace examination, right?" ”

"What the master said is really right, you are a hungry ghost in the color, and you can't walk when you see a beautiful woman!" Liu Yuan said with a sad face, "Such a good opportunity, if the old man has knowledge, he will definitely climb out and beat you!" ”

Liu Yuan and Zhu Yang grew up together, and naturally knew Zhu Yang's scientific examination level, and since Zhu Yang stepped into the imperial examination, he has been the first all the way from the children's examination to the general examination, and has never been left behind.

As long as you get the champion in the palace examination again, it will be an unprecedented feat, what an honor this is, if the old man knows it, he will definitely be crazy.

"You're the hungry ghost, your whole family is!" Zhu Yang said angrily.

It's false to say that you are not disappointed, but more often than not, you are disappointed.

At that time, when he saw the test questions, he enthusiastically wrote out the "gluttonous plan", but after walking out of the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Yang found that he had written it in vain.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's "Emperor Ming Zuxun" has been published, and several countries that do not conquer it are springboards to the sea of stars; In addition, the vast majority of civil officials in the Ming Dynasty will be inexplicably vigilant against the sea ban.

If anyone dares to lift the sea ban, it will be like digging the ancestral graves of these civil officials, especially in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

Some officials will argue that they are trying to prevent the pirates.

But are they really that invincible? At this time, the Ming Navy was not at the end of the Qing Dynasty, otherwise it would not have immediately built a big ship that could go to Africa during the Yongle period.

If you have the ability, why ban?

Moreover, these civil officials shouted about the ban on the sea, but secretly colluded with businessmen to constantly smuggle things overseas and absorb a large amount of money.

After Zhu Yang handed in the test papers, he knew that he had already touched the bottom line of those civilian officials by mentioning the war, not to mention that there were ships to build a navy to fight with the sea and trade.

It is estimated that those examiners don't need to look at anything else, just take a look: This son actually proposed to open the sea ban, isn't this digging my ancestral grave? Is this still worth it? One X is not enough, you must have ten X's, this kind of person still wants to be an official? No way!

"Alas......" Zhu Yang sighed, and even wondered if he would replace Zhu Yuanzhang with Yingzheng, or Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty or Li Shimin, would they be crazy when they saw the "gluttonous plan"?

"That's it, but that's fine, anyway, the palace test will not be eliminated, as long as you participate, you will be a jinshi, and it can be regarded as fulfilling your adoptive father's last wish." Zhu Yang comforted himself.

As for being an official, it is impossible, according to the rules, in addition to the first three champions, Bangyan, and Tanhua will be immediately awarded, and the champion will be awarded to the Hanlin Academy for revision, and the Bangyan and Tanhua will be edited by the Hanlin Academy; If the second and third class jinshi want to be appointed to the official, they must take the re-examination in the Fengtian Palace, and the results of the examination before and after the examination will be comprehensive, and the best will be selected to enter the Hanlin Academy as a Jishi.

Zhu Yang, the last person in the top three, definitely has no chance.

"That's fine, I'm resigned from the province!" Zhu Yang shook his head and said to Liu Yuan, who was drooping his head, "Look at your talent, isn't it impossible to live in this world?" ”

"But young master, you obviously have a chance......" Liu Yuan muttered and said stubbornly.

"Okay, don't be unhappy, hurry up and pack your things, let's go back to Fujian!" Zhu Yang patted Liu Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Let's go back and do something more exciting than taking the top prize!" ”

"Young Master, aren't you waiting for the rankings to come out?" Liu Yuan still wanted to struggle, what if a civil official was blind, or simply the emperor and his old man were blind and accidentally named his master as the champion?

Well, I heard that the emperor is older, and blindness is a high probability event!

The more Liu Yuan thought about it, the more likely it became, he grabbed Zhu Yang's sleeve and said, "Why don't we wait for the emperor to come out before leaving?" ”

"Don't think about it, the emperor is not blind!" Zhu Yang said angrily, "Hurry up and clean up, I'll leave for Fujian in the next few days, I hope that after I go back, those guys have already cleaned up Luzon!" ”

……

Just when Zhu Yang, Liu Yuan and the others were packing up their things and preparing to go home, Jinyiwei, who had been secretly protecting Zhu Yang, saw Zhu Yang packing up his things and hurriedly ran to Jiang Xuan's mansion.

Jiang Zhen had just returned from the palace, and before he could change his clothes, he saw his subordinates running in.

"Oh no, my lord! The kid surnamed Zhu is going to run, gather the brothers quickly! ”

"Huh? What kid surnamed Zhu, let's talk about it specifically! Jiang Xuan stared at his subordinates and said.

"It's the kid in the small courtyard, just now I saw him coming back from the Fengtian Palace, he was packing up with his subordinates, this kid is definitely going to run, let's arrest him quickly, let him taste the means of our Jinyiwei, look at this kid's fine skin and tender flesh will definitely not be able to boil our Jinyiwei's methods, and he will definitely be ...... in less than an hour" Jiang Xuan's subordinates said while laughing ruefully, what he likes most is to watch these people be tortured.

"Run your uncle, torture your grandma, you pack up your things tomorrow and roll me back to the north!" Jiang Xuan said angrily.

At the beginning, in order to ensure Zhu Yang's safety and not reveal Zhu Yang's identity, he told his subordinates that Zhu Yang was an important witness in a major case, and there could be no damage, otherwise His Majesty would personally ask for the crime.

Who would have thought that this fool in front of him would really treat Zhu Yang as a suspect and punish Zhu Yang.

If his subordinates really tortured Zhu Yang.

Jiang Zhen thought about that scene for a while, and suddenly shuddered.

"Why did Zhu Gongzi run away?" Jiang Zhen was a little puzzled, the rumor incident has ended, is there still an existence in the capital that can threaten Zhu Gongzi?

As soon as Jiang Xuan thought of this, he instantly felt that he couldn't delay, and he sent several more henchmen to protect Zhu Yang, and he quickly ran towards the palace.

……

"You mean the kid packed up his things and wanted to leave?" In the imperial study, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were dealing with the recital, and they were a little surprised when they suddenly heard Jiang Zheng's announcement.

"This kid has been in trouble again lately?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"No, Erchen has been paying attention recently, and he hasn't found anything abnormal!" Zhu Biao said.

"What's going on?" Zhu Yuanzhang also didn't understand: Why did he run away?

Run? Well? Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became happy, "This kid must have caused trouble, and the trouble is probably not small!" ”

"Prince, if you go to Fengtian Palace, you will say that we will read the papers in person!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Yes!" Zhu Biao nodded.
