"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that he is wrong, no, the minister is guilty!"

"Your Majesty, please give the minister a chance, the minister will definitely fulfill his duties in the future!"

“.”

Master Meng of the Hanlin Academy, who let Ye Qing be admitted to the last place in the promotion, and Lord Wang, the official of the Ministry of Justice, who let Ye Qing go to Yanmen County to be the magistrate of the county, knelt at Zhu Yuanzhang's feet, and he didn't even dare to raise his head.

In fact, the two really don't feel guilty, and they really don't feel guilty.

Who would dare to come to the first scientific examination of the Ming Dynasty?

Besides, before the first scientific examination of the third year of Hongwu began, Zhu Yuanzhang also came to kill chickens and monkeys!

Half a month before the start of the examination, Zhu Yuanzhang happily led hundreds of officials to inspect and accept the Jiangnan Gongyuan, which had been repaired and was built in the fourth year of Song Qiandao, that is, Yingtian Gongyuan.

He was really happy to see that this world's No. 1 Tribute Academy, which had 20,644 examination halls, was revitalized again.

The avenue that can be used exclusively for candidates to enter the examination room was stepped on by him.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who felt embarrassed, ordered a thorough investigation, only to find out that it was General Ma, who was in charge of supervising the work, who was greedy for more than 1,000 taels of project money!

Such a winner of the death-free iron scroll, or the old father whose two sons died for Zhu Yuanzhang, was directly killed by Zhu Yuanzhang because he was greedy for more than a thousand taels!

The heroes who have made such military exploits have all died because of greed, where do they, civil officials who have no merit of size, dare to take the benefit of half a penny?

At least until the impact of the General Ma incident has passed, they will definitely not dare to charge candidates a penny.

Therefore, Ye Qing really relied on his true talent and learning, and he was the first to the bottom of the exam!

And the same is true for the officials who are responsible for using these candidates on the list, and there is indeed a reason for letting such a person be the last to be the magistrate.

The barbarian Yuan ruled incompetently for nearly a hundred years, so that the people of the Central Plains almost didn't even know what Tang poetry and Song poetry were.

In the context of such an era, there are indeed not many people who can be admitted to the exam, and many learned people have a wait-and-see attitude towards the new imperial court, so they have not come to refer to it at all.

He Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that the candidates' grades were generally not good, so he decided to start his 'Yangshi Plan', that is, the temporary recommendation system, and at the same time run schools in various places, so that students can study for more than ten years and then take the exam.

And for this batch of candidates on the list, it is to appoint as much as possible.

There is really no way for the officials, even if all the candidates on the list are arranged, there are still positions that no one has to do, and they have to recommend officials to fill the vacancies.

It is also this kind of dilemma that the total number of positions is more than the total number of talents, and he can only go to the border to be the magistrate of the county.

Based on the above reasons, these two officials who promoted Ye Qing really don't feel guilty, and they really don't have any guilt at all!

But their emperor is Zhu Yuanzhang!

has already faced them with this kind of face, that is, whether they are guilty or not, confess their sins and save their lives first!

"I didn't say that you were guilty, what sin do you confess here?"

In front of the two, Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer so serious, but he was neither angry nor happy, but when he said the word 'I', he raised his voice a little.

It is also the word 'I' that makes the two kowtow more fiercely, not to mention, but also to beg for mercy even more.

At the same time, they scolded Ye Qing even more in their hearts!

In their opinion, it must be that Zhu Yuanzhang was dissatisfied with Ye Qing after he went to Yanmen County, so he became angry with them.

They regret it!

If I knew that today, I should have eliminated Ye Qing directly!

Especially Master Meng, who was in charge of reviewing Ye Qing's test papers, even scolded his mother-in-law, if he slapped him the night before, he would be in a bad mood the next day, and the last place would be eliminated!

And at this very moment,

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two people in front of him who almost smashed the floor, and only felt very satisfied.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked in the direction of Yanmen County, and his heart was very refreshing: "Lao Tzu can't reward and punish you clearly for the time being, so Lao Tzu will first reward and punish the two benefactors who promoted you!" ”

After a while, the playfulness in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes disappeared, and immediately turned into extreme seriousness.

Because cleaning up and promoting Ye Qing's benefactor was just incidental, his main purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang was to use the two of them to throw Ye Qing to Huaixi Xungui in advance.

And they can't let them know now what kind of attitude he Zhu Yuanzhang has towards Ye Qing!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang directly and solemnly ordered: "Come on, drag these two people down and hit the twenty boards again." ”

When they heard this, they immediately raised their heads, and their eyes were full of horror.

They are all scholars with pens, where can they stand the beating of the 20th board, but no matter how they beg for mercy or shout injustice, Zhu Yuanzhang looks like he has made up his mind.

In this way, they were dragged out by Mao Xiang and others, and they were directly pressed on the bench to dry!

But Mao Xiang also greeted them, they only need to be hurt, they can't hurt their muscles and move their bones!

From the moment they received the first big board, they scolded Ye Qing in their hearts, it can be said that the more boards they were beaten, the more painful their buttocks were, and the more they scolded in their hearts.

After a while, the twenty boards were finished, and even if their subordinates showed mercy, weak scholars like them went through hell.

But at this moment, the envoy of the Tai Hospital personally brought two stretchers and directly carried them to the Tai Hospital, with an excellent attitude, so good that they were like big heroes who were injured in the line of duty!

"What are you?"

"What's going on?"

The two of them were lying on the stretcher, already carried far away, and they hadn't yet figured out what was going on.

Just when they finished bandaging and applying the medicine, Zhu Yuanzhang took two eunuchs and came to them in person.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang at this time is no longer the emperor who kills decisively, and his attitude has directly changed to Zhu Chongba wearing a dragon robe.

The two of them, who were confused, were about to get up to thank them, but they were stopped by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Meng Aiqing, Wang Aiqing, you are so good to recuperate, you don't have to make this big gift!"

"Let's decide, let you recuperate at home for half a month, and reward each of you with a thousand yuan, plus a century-old ginseng from Changbai Mountain!"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's voice fell, the two eunuchs directly handed over ten treasure notes with a denomination of 100 guan and a ginseng that looked like that to them.

In the eyes of the two, the brand-new treasure banknote was wrapped in a ginseng and tied with yellow cloth strips, which was very ceremonial with the emperor's grace.

Looking at this scene, the two of them just blinked their eyes, and their minds were no longer confused, but a mess.

Why is that?

Here a slap in the face to give a candy when they are little children educated right?

However, for the low-level little people in the Huaixi Group like them, this is already an absolute huge amount of money.

Even if you look at the face of this thousand dollars, I feel that these 20 boards are not too painful!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"

"Minister, thank you Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang just cared about a few words casually, and then went back to his imperial study.

After the two watched Zhu Yuanzhang leave, they immediately thought about it, but after thinking about it for a long time, they couldn't understand why Zhu Yuanzhang did this.

The two immediately decided to tell their immediate boss about the incident as soon as possible.

Just when the two limped to find their respective bosses with the reward, Zhu Yuanzhang also returned to the imperial study.

But as soon as he entered the door, he heard a voice coming from the back room where he was taking a nap!

In the middle room of the imperial study, Queen Ma and Zhu Biao sat on the dragon couch where Zhu Yuanzhang usually took a lunch break, there was no taboo at all!

Queen Ma whispered to Zhu Biaohua: "You don't know how much your father suffered in Yanmen County. ”

"Your father can play with these people in applause, but he was so angry that Lord Ye almost lost his senses!"

"Of course, he Ye Qing is indeed very capable."

Queen Ma told Zhu Biao what they saw and heard in Yanmen County, and Zhu Biao was also very yearning.

Zhu Biao looked in the direction of Yanmen County, and his eyes were full of yearning: "Erchen also wants to get to know this genius who understands local construction, military manufacturing, commercial technology, and can also increase the yield of rice seeds exponentially." ”

"Of course, Erchen wants to see him make my father suffer with his own eyes, and my father can only swallow the loss."

"That's so relieving!"

"That is literally avenging me!"

Seeing that Zhu Biao was rarely naughty, Queen Ma still picked up the feather duster that beat Zhu Yuanzhang, and symbolically slapped Zhu Biao for a moment: "Don't talk about your father like that, he is strict with you, and it is also for your good." ”

Zhu Biao hurriedly recovered his rigor, and couldn't help but laugh: "Mother, Erchen knows his mistakes, but Erchen just wants to laugh, and his ability to make my father suffer is enough to be surprised." ”

"Wizard!"

"Wizards of the ages!"

Queen Ma picked up the feather duster again, and gently threatened Zhu Biao not to laugh.

After a while, Zhu Biao, under the effect of strong self-control, finally regained his rigor.

Zhu Biao just looked in the direction of Yanmen County, and his eyes became complicated: "This person must be able to manage it, so that he can be useful!" ”

Queen Ma looked at this scene, and then smiled with relief: "If your father asks you to take care of it, can you manage it?" ”

Zhu Biao said confidently: "I can control the fierce general Lan Yu, and I can naturally control him Ye Qing, but I still have to fully understand this person, and then prescribe the right medicine." ”

"This way of controlling people is actually the same thing as the way of curing diseases."

"To deal with a literati whose stomach is full of twists and turns, then you have to twist and turn more than him, and to deal with fierce generals, you have to be more ruthless than him."

"To deal with this kind of perverse prodigy, it is like a famous doctor encountering a difficult and incurable disease, then you have to carefully observe and fully understand its pathology, the acupuncture is acupuncture, the decoction is the decoction, and even the acupuncture decoction is needed."

"Although it takes more effort, it is more fruitful after being cured!"

"In the same way, although it takes a little more thought and patience, once you let such a genius use it for yourself, it will be like a tiger with wings!"

"Of course, you have to let this Lord Ye come to Beijing, and after Erchen personally contacts and understands, he can start to prescribe the right medicine!"

“.”

Listening to Zhu Biao's remarks, Queen Ma became more and more satisfied.

And Zhu Yuanzhang, who was only separated by a wall, was also relieved and smiled lightly after hearing Zhu Biao's remarks, and his eyes were full of happiness.

Having such a mother-in-law and such a son is definitely a luxury for an emperor.

Throughout the ages, which emperor can be good for all his wives?

Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, although his mother-in-law is good, no son can handle it, the key is that he also gave birth to a king who died in the country!

Besides, Dugu Jialuo, who was so angry that Yang Jian ran away from home, is not as good as his mother-in-law Ma Xiuying!

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished comparing Emperor Wen of Sui, he began to compare with Tang Taizong, Li Shimin's mother-in-law must be better, but his eldest son is a thief!

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang used his wife and eldest son to trample on all the emperor's predecessors.

After the competition, his heart was really comfortable!

But then, he was uncomfortable!

Just because of this big boy, he even thinks that Ye Qing helped him take revenge?

This account must be calculated clearly, and then talk about other things!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang took off his shoes directly, and then followed by a move of 'tiger poison to eat children'!

I ask for the support of the officials, and ask for the support of recommended tickets, monthly passes, and rewards, thank you!
