Chapter 81: Song Lian's Death

"Your Majesty, Chen Hanlin Academy's bachelor, Zuo Zanshan, Liu Sanwu, have a book." Song Ne's voice just fell. There's another guy over there.

It was Liu Sanwu.

Liu Sanwu is this person. It is even more from the ancestors who are the ministers of the Qing Dynasty in the Yuan Dynasty. If you are familiar with the history of the Yuan Dynasty, you will know that in fact, the imperial examination of the Yuan Dynasty was also stumbling. It was only in the middle and late years that the imperial examination became the norm. In order to open the imperial examination, how many civil servants fought desperately at that time, and even made their heads different. It was finally in the reign of Yuan Wenzong that the imperial examination was opened.

And Liu Sanwu's ancestors were involved.

Now, although Liu Sanwu saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had the color of thunder, he still stepped forward. It is because of this sense of mission.

No one knows how important the imperial examination was to the Shidaifu group. It can be said that it is the fundamental policy of the Shidaifu Group. Even if it's one after the other. Under the stairs of the corpse, it is inevitable to fight hard.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face became more and more indifferent, and he said, "Speak." ”

Liu Sanwu said: "Your Majesty is carried by heaven and has dominated the world for more than ten years. Honesty has never been seen in the ages. However, you can fight the world immediately, but you can't rule the world immediately, and the cheap Confucianism of the former Yuan will not have the luck of a hundred years. Your Majesty has changed the maladministration of the Yuan. And the most maladministration of the Yuan is nothing more than not paying attention to the imperial examination. The minister thought about it for a long time, and changed the method of taking scholars from the three disciplines. Your Majesty, please, preview. ”

As he spoke, he handed over a piece of music.

Xu Zheng immediately came down the stairs, took it with both hands, and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang has ten lines at a glance. Found the content inside familiar. Why? Because the things in this are similar to the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming imperial examination system is probably based on this.

You must know that the imperial examination system of the Song and Yuan dynasties was different from that of the Ming Dynasty. The imperial examination system in the Ming Dynasty was not much different.

It's just that it is estimated that he Xi who came from later generations does not know that the Ming imperial examination system originated from Liu Sanwu.

In the booklet He Xi gave to Zhu Yuanzhang, although it was not detailed. But it also briefly describes the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang saw it at a glance.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Sanwu for a while with some emotion. He Xi's pamphlet to Zhu Yuanzhang only has two things about Liu Sanwu, one is the case of the North and South List, and the other is the matter of establishing the grandson.

If there is no He Xi's inconsistency. Zhu Yuanzhang was not disgusted by this plan. But at the moment he didn't want to pass.

At the same time, he also knew.

Song Lian, Song Ne, Liu Sanwu, and many Wenchen are the essence of the Great Ming Scholars.

Most of these people are honest and honest, and they are not afraid of death for their own ideas. Although square. But not too pedantic and knows how to do things. But stick to the principles. Observe the great festival, so that it is immovable.

And the imperial examination, in the eyes of these people, is where the big festival is.

This is where Zhu Yuanzhang's joy lies, and it is also where his troubles lie.

Joy is that it is precisely because of the existence of these ministers that there is the atmosphere of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Although there are many people who are corrupt and corrupt. However, these people are at least middle and upper class in the Ming court, and there are not too many. More such scholars.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang is very clear about one thing. These people are not loyal to themselves. It's the idea of your own heart.

Only today's move is simply a coincidence of forcing the palace.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang feel difficult to deal with.

Killing people is simple.

The people in front of him are all powerless civil officials, and it is easy to launch the noon gate and behead them with an order.

However, there are some people who can be killed. For example, in the Guo Huan case, Zhu Yuanzhang expanded the crackdown and implicated many people. didn't even blink his eyes, because Zhu Yuanzhang understood that he was low. A lot of people say it without evidence. But if you get involved with someone like Guo Huan, can you have a good person? The killing of these people is not wrongful killing. It can only be said that the punishment is heavier, and it cannot be said that it is unjust at all.

And these people in front of them are carrying the hope of Shilin. It's not something to start with.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "This discussion is very good, let's discuss it again." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang lightly threw Liu Sanwu's recital aside, got up and said, "It's not early today, let's retreat." ”

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't look at the civil and military officials below at all, and walked straight away.

The officials were dumbfounded. But he didn't dare to move.

The prestige of Zhu Yuanzhang's founding monarch is not something that can be shaken by the ministers. It is definitely not Song Renzong who can be pulled by Bao Zheng's sleeves. And Zhu Yuanzhang's actions also represent his own resolute attitude.

Song Lian's face was pale and his body was shaky. I can barely stand up.

The prince saw this. Said out loud; "Let's all disperse." Then he took a few steps in front of Song Lian and said, "Teacher, why are you so troubled, my father has his own decision, and this matter is not in a hurry." ”

Song Lian said: "I know -----" Between the words, his body shook suddenly, but fortunately, the prince was by his side, and he stepped forward to support Song Lian, he felt that the weight of his hand was not small, and he knew that Song Lian almost pressed most of his body on the prince's hand.

The crown prince immediately knew that Song Lian's situation was not good.

"Teacher, teacher," the prince cried softly.

Song Lian's eyes were blank, and he said: "I know ,----" But in these words, he felt a little confused. It is estimated that Song Lian may not know, he knows something.

The prince hurriedly said, "Teacher, I'll help you go back and rest." Without waiting for Song Lian to say anything, he helped Song Lian to go back.

Just a few steps, I saw Song Lian suddenly bend down and began to cough strongly. With a cough, blood sprayed onto the ground like overlapping plum blossoms. Deep red and light red interspersed.

At this moment, the ministers who had not dispersed suddenly surrounded him.

The prince was immediately furious and said; "It's none of your business, Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor."

The prince was furious for two reasons. These people came around and didn't do anything to Song Lian's condition. On the other hand, the prince was worried that Song Lian's actions would make Zhu Yuanzhang angry. The prince was by Song Lian's side, knowing that Song Lian really couldn't hold on. was already weak, but in Hu Weiyong's case, he was even more sick on the sickbed, and many things were brought to the court with illness. Today's situation, although unexpected, is also expected.

But what will Zhu Yuanzhang think? The prince doesn't know. But he knew that his father was not a good-natured person.

Today's events, if your father thinks that Song Lian deliberately sold miserably. It is estimated that there will be thunder means, brewing in the back. So, he immediately had to take control of the situation. Chase them all away. You want to keep the impact to a minimum.

It's just that at this time, all the officials are there. It is estimated that the restrictions will not be limited to many places.

------

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just returned to the Qianqing Palace, immediately heard the news. Immediately furious, he said, "Song Lian Lao'er, who do you think you are?" It's because I don't feel happy. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was suspicious, felt that Song Lian was acting for the first time, and took this opportunity to expand his influence. Bad Zhu Yuanzhang's reputation.

In an instant, Zhu Yuanzhang had an urge to kill Song Lian.

It's just that the result was so unexpected.

After a while, the prince came to the Qianqing Palace with red eyes and said, "Father, the teacher is gone." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned and said; "What did you say?"

The prince said; "Old Master Song is gone."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face relaxed, revealing a clear expression. Zhu Yuanzhang's mood is also extremely mixed.

There is a relief gas.

This old thing, this old thing, just embarrassed himself, and God accepted him, which is a breath of relief for me. But it's more of a loss. Song Lian has been Zhu Yuanzhang's adviser and the prince's teacher since before the founding of the country.

Even Song Lian is not just the prince's teacher. If Zhu Yuanzhang has any questions, he often asks Song Lian for advice. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is Zhu Yuanzhang's teacher.

Now, the political views of the two sides are becoming more and more incompatible. But it's not without affection.

"Father, this is the teacher's widow." The prince presented it with both hands.

Zhu Yuanzhang took it and saw that there was only one thing said on it, that is, the opening of the imperial examination. is probably a testament, and Song Lian wrote it sincerely. It's also straightforward, and there's no metaphor either. Straight to the point. The dignity of the Son of Heaven alone is not enough to rule the world. Only when the Son of Heaven cooperates with scholars can he rule the world.

And the way of the imperial examination is an important joint that maintains the scholars and doctors.

The way of the imperial examination is not prosperous for a day, and the scholars of the world are not at ease for a day. When the soldiers seek wealth and nobility, there are those who follow the chaos, and the world is troublesome. Your Majesty is certainly not afraid, but what about the descendants?

Yunyun.

After Zhu Yuanzhang saw it, he was silent for a while.

Throwing away other high-sounding things, the biggest role of the imperial examination is to win over the scholar group and open up channels for advancement. Only the method of taking talents is in a secondary position. This is not to deny that the imperial examination cannot screen talents. And apart from the imperial examination, is there no other way to screen out talents?

I don't think so.

Song Lian also understands Zhu Yuanzhang, and this kind of words are much more useful than the kind of high-sounding words.

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time and said; "Master Song's funeral, you can deal with it. He has worked for our family for many years, and he has also suffered a lot of grievances. Don't be wronged in things. ”

The prince said; "The child obeys."

The prince has a deep affection for Song Lian. I don't want to do anything else at the moment. In addition, the descendants of Song Lian's descendants are all affected by the Hu Weiyong case, and there are those who sit and those who are assigned. There will be no one to preside over it in the future. The prince can't leave it alone.

After the prince left, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed lightly and said, "Call He Xi to see me." ”

He couldn't wait.

He originally wanted He Xi to get ready and come to see him himself. It's just that Song Lian's death gave him a wake-up call. Time is running out.

Although he lived to be 70 years old in history, He Xi also said that everything has changed now. Along with his longevity estimates, it may also change. Not to mention, even if his lifespan remains the same, it will only be more than ten years.

More than ten years, for changing the face of a country.

It's not too long, it's not short. Time is precious, and there is no room for delay.

"Yes." Xu Zheng immediately saluted.
