Chapter 142: Tongue War

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head to look at the crown prince Zhu Biao, and Wen Yan asked, "Biao'er, what do you think of the matter of moving the capital?" As he said this, he thought in his heart: Biao'er was also summoned by me to the imperial study last night to discuss this matter, hoping that he can really understand the truth of playing chess and watching ten moves. As long as he supports the relocation of the capital, the resistance of the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China will naturally be much weaker. Thinking of this, Rao is very deep in the city, and he unconsciously has great expectations in his heart, hoping that Zhu Biao, the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, can show his due boldness and foresight when dealing with military affairs before the civil and military officials.

It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang had been vigorously supporting the forces loyal to the crown prince Zhu Biao in the court since he established Zhu Biao as the prince and as the heir to the throne of the Ming Dynasty in the future, eradicating the so-called "Hu Weiyong rebel party", canceling the post of prime minister who had inherited for thousands of years and was quite constrained by the imperial power, and let the six Shangshu be directly ordered by himself, but also in order to concentrate the military and political power in his own hands like never before, and then submit it to Zhu Biao in the future, so as not to appear in the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Zhu Biao turned his head to look at Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and others in the distance, frowned and muttered: Mencius once said in the past, the people are the most important, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. It can be seen that the cornerstone of the stability of the world lies in the peace and contentment of the common people, and the idea of moving the capital of my father is bound to make countless people leave their hometowns. Thinking of this, he wanted to speak out against it, but as soon as his eyes came into contact with Zhu Yuanzhang's dignified gaze, a fear unconsciously rose in his heart, and he hurriedly changed his mouth and said: "Erchen thinks that the matter of moving the capital is a major matter involving the country, and he needs to think twice before acting. It turned out that although Zhu Biao was the crown prince, he followed Zhu Yuanzhang's Red Turban Army to fight in the north and south when he was a child, and he witnessed the suffering of the common people, and later he was deeply influenced by his mentor Song Lian, Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and other Confucian scholars, so he was kind at heart, and he was unwilling to easily make measures to let the people help the old and the young, and leave their hometowns.

A group of civil ministers and military generals who opposed the relocation of the capital in the court heard the words of the crown prince Zhu Biao and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the crown prince Zhu Biao opposed the relocation of the capital, Fu Youde, the prince of Yingguo, sighed secretly in his heart, and said: His Royal Highness is kind-hearted, and among the princes of all dynasties, I am afraid that it is also rare. Oriental || .com just deal with military affairs, you can't blindly pay attention to benevolence, and you have to memorize the infamy that should be carried.

Zhu Quan heard Zhu Biao say this, turned his head and looked at Zhu Di, the king of Yan on his side, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, and sighed secretly in his heart: The ancients said that dragons give birth to nine sons, each of them is different, the old man is so powerful, and the eldest brother Zhu Biao is too kind-hearted.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Biao say this, he was greatly disappointed in his heart, sighed secretly, turned his head, suddenly pointed at Zhu Di, and said in a deep voice: "Di'er, tomorrow at noon, it will be up to you to supervise the beheading of those Guozijian students who accept the banquet." He was disappointed in Zhu Biao in his heart, but he didn't want to damage his face in front of the ministers, so he had to vent his anger on Zhu Di.

How did Zhu Di not know that such an errand of prison beheading was almost a drudgery that offended all the scholars in the world, and he had a bitter stomach in his heart, but he had a respectful look on his face, and bowed down to accept the order.

Zhu Quan watched coldly, snickered in his heart, and secretly thought: You can't blame the government for your hard life, you can't blame the society for your back, who made you a natural acting school, who will carry the black pot if you don't carry it? You are the fourth brother, I am ranked seventeenth, it seems that this generation can take advantage of a lot when you are young.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Di, and sighed secretly in his heart: Di'er can calm down when he encounters anything, which is the most like me among all the princes. Thinking of this, he asked in a deep voice: "Di'er, what do you think of the matter of moving the capital?" ”

When Zhu Quan heard this, he was busy cheering up and listening carefully, since he experienced the battle of Liaodong, he had no contempt for his fourth brother Zhu Di, and he also attached great importance to his opinions.

After Zhu Di returned to the mansion last night, he also discussed with his teacher Monk Daoyan for a long time, and he was prepared for the imperial court to move the capital this morning, and he would definitely encounter great resistance. Dong $ Fang $ .com heard his father ask in his ears, walked out of the queue, and said loudly: "Erchen thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind-hearted and cares about the livelihood of the Li people, which is commendable. Speaking of this, he turned his head and said to the ministers: "But the matter of moving the capital is of incalculable value to the Confucian culture advocated by the Ming Dynasty and the promotion of the northern provinces, so this king supports the relocation of the capital to Beiping." With the knowledge of Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and others, he would never fail to see the great role of moving the capital to consolidate the military of the northern provinces, so the biggest obstacle to today's court discussion is still a group of civil servants, and these sour Confucians, who have been camping in books all day long, and have never been on the battlefield at all, talk about military affairs, which is tantamount to playing the piano to the cow, simply avoiding military affairs, and directly saying that these scholars from the imperial examination are most concerned about the literary affairs.

When Zhu Quan heard him say this, he couldn't help but raise his head and stare at Zhu Di's words, and secretly admired: Zhu Lao's psychology and tactics of fighting the Confucianism are quite in line with the art of war, and the heart is the first. Since the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, after the abolition of Confucianism, the temples of all dynasties have been dominated by Confucian scholars, who have been educated since childhood to oppose war and value peace. If you discuss moving the capital militarily, no matter whether you make sense or not, as long as you talk about war, these sour Confucians will inevitably have the heart to resist and oppose in their hearts. It is better to choose the Confucian culture that everyone is concerned about, and the promotion of this soft underbelly will start. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reach out and touch his chin, squinting his eyes and secretly praised: Zhu Laosi, high, is high.

Huang Zicheng, the companion of the East Palace, heard Zhu Di say this, and couldn't help frowning and wondering: "Why did Your Highness say this?" ”

Zhu Di nodded and said, "Let's listen to this king slowly." Speaking of this, he turned his head to a middle-aged man in the distance who was dressed in a four-grade civil official costume, was in his forties, had three long beards under his head, and looked very elegant, and asked: "Dare to ask Lord Sacrificial Wine, do you remember the origins and names of scholars in various provinces in the imperial examination last year?" Can you tell us a little bit about that? It turned out that this person's name was Wu Hao, and he was the priest of wine for the country.

Wu Hao heard His Royal Highness King Yan ask like this, walked out of the queue, groaned slightly, memorized a long list of names, ages, and places of origin of scholars, shook his head, and it was endless, endless. It turns out that this Guozi priest wine is equivalent to the Minister of Education in later generations, although Wu Hao is pedantic, but he is responsible by nature, for the scholars who took the last imperial examination, many articles are personally seen, so I remember the names and origins of many scholars.

Zhu Quan secretly smacked his tongue when he heard it, and he admired it from the bottom of his heart, and secretly thought: When I was in school before, my least favorite subject was rote memorization, but the memorized skills of readers in this era are absolutely first-class, and it is a piece of cake to memorize a few books like a stream, and it is easy to win. This kind of memory is put into the exam hundreds of years later, and its value cannot be underestimated.

Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Di talk about the imperial examination, and he had already understood his tricks, and after hearing Wu Hao recite the names of no less than hundreds of scholars, he couldn't help but shake his hand and said with a smile: "Enough, don't memorize it anymore." ”

Zhu Di looked at the ministers in the court, and suddenly smiled: "The adults in the court can understand that among these many scholars, how many of them can come to Yingtian to participate in the "meeting examination", how many of them are not from the same province or even the same township as the adults?" ”

Originally, the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty was divided into four stages, namely "county examination", "township examination", "meeting examination" and "palace examination". Those who have passed the township examination must go to Beijing in the spring of the following year to respond to the examination presided over by the Ministry of Rites. The examination was presided over by the emperor's special appointment and vice president examiner. The examination is also divided into three sessions, the Chinese style is called "Gongshi", and the first name is "Huiyuan".

Countless civil officials in the DPRK and China heard Zhu Di say this, and carefully recalled the names and origins of the scholars that Wu Hao had recited, and their reactions were different, and some civil officials showed a happy attitude on their faces, and they were deeply proud of the thick style of writing in their province. Only Zhuo Jing in the matter of Hu Ke, the squire of the military department, and some other knowledgeable officials frowned, and vaguely heard what Zhu Di was referring to.

Zhu Quan listened to Zhu Di talk in circles for a long time, in fact, it was to explain that his teacher Jing Kun had said to himself last night, the cultural atmosphere of the northern and southern provinces is very different, and he secretly thought in his heart: It seems that Mr. Jing is really right, this Zhu Laosi, last night must have done enough homework with the old monk Daoyan, and Mr. Jing and I can think of the imbalance between the northern and southern provinces in terms of military culture, they can also see it. Fortunately, I was reminded by Mr. Jing that I already had other strategies, otherwise Zhu Laosi would have finished talking alone, and I couldn't find the words for a while, so it would be strange if I didn't get repaired by the old man.

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't be too happy, the king can understand that the prince of the country has just said that among the scholars from all provinces who came to Yingtian to participate in the township test, there are only six scholars from Shandong, Shanxi, and Shaanxi, the three northern provinces. Speaking of this, he stretched out his hands and gestured, and continued with a solemn face: "The scholars from the three northern provinces who came to Yingtian to participate in the examination were not even able to count ten fingers. Almost two-thirds of the others are from Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hunan, and Fujian. The rest of the provinces only account for a small half, that is, General Fu Youde, the Duke of Lian Yingguo, who was only pacified after the conquest a few years ago, and Yunnan and Guizhou are also slightly better than the three northern provinces. Isn't that where my Great Tomorrow Dynasty belongs? The common people there are not the people of my Ming Dynasty? This phenomenon of a huge gap between the literary styles of the north and the south is by no means child's play, and it must not be taken lightly. ”
