Qianqing Palace.

After listening to the sixth child's complaints, Zhu Yuanzhang's face gradually lengthened, and his eyes revealed murderous aura.

Zhu Zhen couldn't help but feel weak for a while, and said stubbornly: "Erchen is not slandering Guozixue because he doesn't want to go to school. It's because Guozi learns that it's such a living hell, and people really can't stay there. Father, I don't want to see that the protégé of the Son of Heaven, whom you have worked so hard to cultivate for several years, was killed by Song Ne one by one, right? ”

"Song Ne, is it really that unbearable?" After being silent for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang asked slowly: "Have you seen him and spoken to him?" ”

"I have seen him from afar a few times, and I have heard him speak. People are high sacrificial wine, and Erchen is just an ordinary student, how can he see him, let alone have an interview. Zhu Zhen smiled bitterly.

"Then how do you conclude that everything is his responsibility?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

"No matter what, he is a national son of the country, and so many students have died, and a leadership responsibility will never escape!" The sixth man straightened his neck.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "Let's take a look at this first." ”

As he spoke, he handed a bullet stamp in his hand to the sixth child.

Zhu Zhen took it and quickly flipped through it, only to see that it was 36 low-level officials such as assistant teachers, Xuezheng, and Xuelu of Guozixue, who jointly impeached Song Ne, who sacrificed wine.

"Well, is this true?" Seeing him raise his head, Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

"This ......" Zhu Zhen pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Erchen only went to school for a month as an ordinary student, and the situation he came into contact with has already been reported to his father. Most of the things involved in this are not yet known to the sons. ”

"Hmm." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, there was no embarrassment for him, and then said: "In addition, the Ministry of Officials transferred it to him the day before yesterday, so that he will be appointed this month." ”

"Is it so sudden?" Zhu Zhen was stunned when he heard this: "What reason?" ”

"He's seventy years old." Boss Zhu said.

"That's right." Zhu Zhen smiled and said: "That's great, the Song sacrificial wine is glorious, and start from scratch with a new sacrificial wine." ”

"Don't you think there's a problem here?" Zhu Yuanzhang said quietly.

"What's the problem?" Zhu Zhen pondered: "My father suspected that those scholars had written to impeach Song Ne, and arranged for him to rush together with the officials, too coincidentally?" ”

"It's not stupid." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled approvingly, and said slowly: "I forgot to tell you, at the beginning of the year, Song Ne handed over his resignation as usual, and he was retained by us." ”

After a pause, he said to the sixth child again: "We also talked to him once alone, and said to him, 'Qing has longevity, don't be in a hurry to take care of his old age, and help us manage the country for a few more years.'" ’”

"That's right." Zhu Zhen said suddenly, no wonder Song Ne looked full of energy, and he had no intention of retiring at all.

"Father thinks that someone can't wait and wants him to retire on time?" Zhu Zhen speculated: "But I am worried that my father will keep it." Therefore, the lower-level officials who first picked up Guozixue got on this joint bullet seal to create public opinion that was unfavorable to him, so that it would be inconvenient for the father to open his mouth to keep people. ”

"That's right, that's how we see it." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"Then why did the emperor keep him?" Zhu Zhen asked.

"There is only one reason," Zhu Yuanzhang asked rhetorically. "You've also used the students he trained under him, so it's easy to use, right?"

"That's right." Zhu Zhen nodded, he admitted this.

"Before Song Ne, we have changed several sacrificial wines, and even Li Shanchang was sent by me to manage Guozi for a while, but the students cultivated are all embroidered pillows with low eyes and clever words." Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said: "It wasn't until Song Ne was replaced, he formulated those school rules, and strictly implemented them, that the students of Guozi gradually became decent, and they could continue to provide suitable officials for the imperial court." ”

"It's only been a few years, and some people can't sit still, for fear that all this will become the rule of this dynasty, and they want to drive Song Ne away and let Guozixue return to the past, a peaceful time, but only out of the era of waste!" As he spoke, his eyes flashed coldly, and he said:

"Getting rid of Song Ne is just the first step, their purpose is to abolish Guozixue and restore the imperial examination system, understand?!"

~~

At this time, there was no one else in the palace, and Eunuch Wu personally guarded the door of the palace, so that the father and son could talk secretly.

"Do you know why we picked your eldest brother to tell you when he was away?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked faintly.

"I'm afraid that big brother will be difficult to do." Old Six Roads.

"That's right." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded approvingly and said: "The group of East Palace lecturers around him are all against Guozixue and support the imperial examination system. Their leader was his teacher, Mr. Song. ”

"Song Lian?" Zhu Zhen was shocked.

"Hmm." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "I didn't expect it, when we knew, we were also shocked." ”

Saying that, he said murderously: "These sourmen are really hateful, shouting all day long about 'gentlemen are harmonious but different'." But in fact, he is more familiar with forming a party and running a private business than anyone else, and he dares to use the banner of the prince to swagger and deceive everywhere! ”

"Big brother will never go along with them!" Zhu Zhen hurriedly said loudly: "It's completely unnecessary, and it will definitely not be!" ”

"Don't shout." Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him and said, "Do you still need to remind me?" This Ming Dynasty is the boss, your son is now carrying the work for him, if he thinks we are not suitable, just speak up. If it doesn't work, you can still invite your queen mother to come out, how can you make small moves in private? ”

"That's why those guys are hateful!" Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table and roared: "Dare to separate my father and son, let's let them die without a place to be buried!" ”

"Father, father, don't get excited." Zhu Zhen hurriedly persuaded: "Who told you about such a big thing?" ”

"It was the secretary of the ministry, and Yu Butang said it himself." Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

"Did he confess to his father?" Zhu Zhen was surprised.

"It's not." Zhu Yuanzhang slowly shook his head and said, "It was your fourth brother who eavesdropped." ”

"I'm ......" Zhu Zhen couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, he didn't expect the fourth brother's work to be effective so quickly. And it was so big as soon as it came up.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he took out a key from his waist and handed it to Lao Liudao: "Go, open the third cabinet." ”

Zhu Zhen followed the old thief's point, and saw that under the east wall of the Qianqing Palace, there was a row of three large iron cabinets.

He used the key to unlock the third cabinet and pulled the iron door open.

When the iron door is opened, there is a creaking sound of metal parts rubbing against it, making people's scalps tingle.

"It's time for this door to be oiled." Zhu Zhen said.

"That's what I want." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.

"Oh." Zhu Zhen understood as soon as he heard it, if it was the dead of night and someone wanted to secretly open the iron cabinet, the sound of opening the door alone could spread throughout the entire Qianqing Palace.

But this is not the point, the point is that when he opened the iron door, he saw that the cabinet was divided into rows of lattice shelves, with copper boxes built-in, with different names pasted on them - from the left prime minister Hu Weiyong, the right prime minister Wang Guangyang and below, the chief and deputy governors of the central yamen such as Zhongshu, Liubu, Yushitai, and Tongzheng Division, none of them were left behind.

Zhu Zhen's gaze involuntarily fell on the other two locked iron cabinets, I don't know who the names of people will be here?

Is there any Wei Guogong? Are there big cousins, are there brothers?

And, do you have yourself?
