"The students are here! See Your Majesty! ”

Ye Qingyun hurriedly walked out of the crowd standing on both sides.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and was extremely surprised to see that he was so young.

"Who did you study with?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked softly.

"Back to Your Majesty, the students are studying in Minghuang Academy, under the tutelage of Han Guogong and Mr. Xizhi." Ye Qingyun said respectfully.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his heart suddenly changed.

No wonder, no wonder this Ye Qingyun was able to write such a rebellious answer sheet at a young age, it turned out to be a disciple of that dog thing.

"Hmph, this is all taught to you by Li Wei?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a cold snort.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the teacher once occasionally mentioned these things in casual conversation during teaching, and the students agreed very much, so they took it to heart."

Ye Qingyun replied half-truthfully.

"Well, got it, step down."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded lightly, and said neither salty nor light, neither praising nor criticizing.

Ye Qingyun couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but he didn't dare to say more, so he quickly bowed and saluted, and retreated to the crowd.

Zhu Yuanzhang put his answer sheet aside, and then began to continue to read it.

But it wasn't long before another answer caught his attention.

Although this answer sheet is not as bold as Ye Qingyun, it also focuses on emphasizing realism, especially arithmetic, physical chemistry and the like.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted softly when he saw this, no need to ask, this must also be that guy's disciple.

"Lu Xiu!"

"The students are here!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted again, and Lu Xiu hurriedly walked out after hearing it.

"You are also a student of Minghuang Academy?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him and asked.

Lu Xiu didn't dare to hesitate, lowered his head and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, and waved his hand lightly: "Stand down." ”

Hearing him ask this, Lu Xiu was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he had to respectfully claim that he had returned to the scholars.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang shouted again: "Zheng Zhihua." ”

"The students are here!"

Zheng Zhihua also hurriedly walked out.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him: "You too?" ”

"Yes."

Zheng Zhihua bowed his head and replied, although His Majesty didn't say it clearly, but there were two classmates in front of him, and he didn't need to guess what His Majesty was going to ask.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bother to say anything, so he waved his hand casually and let him retreat.

When the ministers saw this, they looked at each other, and the scholars were also puzzled.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked one after another about the students of Minghuang Academy, although he did not express his attitude, Ye Qingyun Lu Xiu and others still attracted everyone's attention.

After Zheng Zhihua, Zhu Yuanzhang called a few more people, all of whom were from Minghuang Academy without exception, and they were still disciples taught by Li Wei himself.

When the answer was finished, Zhu Yuanzhang's brows were wrinkled together.

It's not because he's not dissatisfied, the scholars who passed the exam this time are much better than the batch more than ten years ago, even if they don't count these weirdos in Minghuang Academy, they are better than before.

It's just that he is still not very satisfied with the scholars other than these people in Minghuang Academy, but it is from Minghuang Academy, especially Ye Qingyun, Li Wei's personal disciples, who put forward a point of view that moved him very much.

But he vaguely noticed that these students seemed to have been prepared for today's question, and the topic of the palace examination was set by him, even if Li Wei was very energetic now, it was impossible to know in advance that Ye Qingyun and the others could be confident, except for coincidence, there was only one possibility left, that is, Li Wei guessed his mind!

Thinking of this possibility, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but squint his eyes, and his gaze became sharp.

"Ye Qingyun, Lu Xiu, Zheng Zhihua."

Zhu Yuanzhang called the names of several people again.

Ye Qingyun and the others were shocked, and hurriedly stood up again, saluting in unison: "Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at them, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Let's ask another question, if your answer satisfies me, I will appoint you as the first class, if the answer is not good, hum, we will not spare it!" ”

When the three of them heard this, they suddenly felt awe-inspiring in their hearts, and they secretly glanced at each other, wondering why Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly wanted to test them again.

The ministers and other scholars were also shocked when they heard this.

"Yes, please show me, Your Majesty."

Since Zhu Yuanzhang had already opened his mouth, they could not be allowed to refuse, and the three of them could only agree respectfully.

Zhu Yuanzhang bowed his head and asked: "Since ancient times, the number of dynasties has only been three or five hundred years, even if it is as strong as Han Sheng and Tang Dynasty, it is difficult to escape the fixed number, why is this?" ”

He has never asked this question, in the past he has always felt that the rise and fall of the dynasty is inevitable, just like the life and death of people, so there is no intention of forcing it, and Li Wei also told him that the Ming Dynasty died in less than three hundred years.

But today, seeing the strange reasoning on the answer sheet of Ye Qingyun and others, he couldn't help but suddenly have a thought, since even the miracle of time and space travel happened in front of his eyes, what is impossible to make the Zhu Ming Dynasty live forever?

After Zhu Yuanzhang asked this question, the ministers couldn't help but look at the three Lu Xiu in the center of the hall, and they couldn't help but gloat in their hearts.

In fact, this kind of question is not difficult to answer, it is nothing more than the cycle of heavenly dao, and it must be divided after a long time. However, His Majesty is naturally very clear about this truth, and if such an answer shows that His Majesty is not satisfied, it will be more troublesome.

The three of them thought for a long time before they finally spoke.

"Your Majesty, I think it's because of the weather." Lu Xiu took the lead in tentatively speaking, "The teacher once said that in addition to the change of the weather in the four seasons, there is also a Xiaoice river period of hundreds of years, every time this period, the land of China will become extremely cold, and the northern nomads can only try their best to attack the Central Plains, in order to migrate to the warm south, and during this time, the Central Plains will also be due to sudden changes in the weather and disasters, resulting in the displacement of the people, and it is naturally difficult for the dynasty to maintain......"

From the perspective of the Heavenly Institute, Lu Xiu explained the turmoil in the world caused by the Xiaoice River period, and also compared the weather of the Tang Dynasty recorded in the history books with the present day to prove his view.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed.

He asked this question originally to embarrass a few people and thwart Li Wei's scheme, but Lu Xiu's answer surprised him greatly!

However, as soon as Lu Xiu's voice fell, Zheng Zhihua beside him immediately raised a different opinion: "I think the most important thing is the land issue, the land at the end of the dynasty was occupied by the powerful gentry, and the people worked all their lives but had no land, the teacher said, this is called the gap between the rich and the poor, the rich are extremely rich and the poor are extremely poor, once there is a disaster year, the extremely poor people will not be able to survive, they can only become rogues, which is the main reason for the demise of the dynasty!" ”

As soon as Zheng Zhihua's words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more excited, the poor are extremely poor, he deeply understands that if he really can't live, he will not be forced to join the army, and finally ascend to the position of the 95th Supreme! (End of chapter)
