I want to be a grandson

Chapter 221 Disappointment

Chapter 221 Disappointment
Zhu Yuanzhang turned to Zhu Yunqi again, and asked displeasedly: "Yunwen, tell me, is there anything wrong with this imperial examination?"

Zhu Yunqi is really in a dilemma at this time!
Zhu Yuanzhang has already lost his temper so much, if he said that he did not make a mistake, he would be talking back!

In Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, he has always been a good baby, who abides by etiquette and is extremely obedient.

Besides, he is not like Zhu Yunxie, who dares to reply directly!
But it is impossible to make him admit that this imperial examination was wrong.

That would be tantamount to admitting that it was inappropriate to admit all scholars from the south.

Then in order to quell public anger, someone will be severely punished!
I am the grandson of the emperor, so I may be punished less, but I will lose the hearts of scholars!

And in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, even if he admits, he can't cover up his mistakes!

So Zhu Yunqi had no choice but to bite the bullet and said ambiguously: "Returning to the emperor's grandfather, this imperial examination did not take into account the issue of the imperial court taking care of the north. "

At that moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of disappointment.

From these words, Zhu Yuanzhang understood that in the mind of his grandson, he still believed that the examiners did nothing wrong!

If it were Zhu Yunqi, he might admit a few scholars from the north, but everything still depends on the test paper. The number of scholars in the south will far exceed that in the north!

It wasn't that Liu Sanwu cheated him, but he was the same as Liu Sanwu!

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang still had hope for him, at least he could be an assistant...

But hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help shaking his head.

Scholars harm the country, sometimes worse than treacherous ministers!

"Since you are right, then you guys go!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the chair with a look of disappointment on his face.

"Yes, Weichen (grandson) obeys!"

Zhu Yunqi and Liu Sanwu looked at each other, knowing that it would be useless to talk too much, so they could only back down.

In fact, in Zhu Yunwen's heart, he was also sad.

Zhu Yunxi stretched out his hand to greet, and asked the eunuch to pick up the teacup fragments on the ground.

He took another cup of tea from Qingtong, put it in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and said, "Grandfather, you won't be angry. Liu Sanwu, an old Hanlin, explains Confucian classics, and it's okay to write books and biography. In his eyes, only sages teach him. What should the court do?" It won't be considered."

"Ugh……"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said, "I'm not angry with Liu Sanwu, but your brother..."

Zhu Yunxi hurriedly said: "This is the first time for my elder brother to participate in the imperial examination. I may not know many places. Moreover, my elder brother has always respected great Confucian scholars, so he will naturally respect the judges of the examiners."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It is right for you to ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to subsidize imperial examination candidates. No matter what you say, you must not make them feel that the imperial court is cold and ruthless."

He asked again, "What do you think about this matter?"

Zhu Yunxi evaded and said, "If you go back to the emperor's grandfather, your grandson has not participated in this matter. So far, it's just heard about it. The facts are not clear, so I dare not jump to conclusions."

"Who made you draw conclusions! We are asking for your opinion!"

Zhu Yunxi replied: "Know what you know and don't know what you don't know. My grandson doesn't know, so I dare not speak nonsense."

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him, and said: "If we tell you what to say, you can say it. You have learned to be wise and protect yourself at a young age! He is indeed a cunning leader!"

Zhu Yunxi really can't laugh or cry, Zhu Yuanzhang really has a unique style when he hates people!

Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "Don't think that we don't know if you are so careful. It's enough to be humble in front of people, and you don't need to pretend in front of us!"

Zhu Yunxi said with an innocent face: "Grandfather, what are you talking about, my grandson really doesn't understand."

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him, "Don't pretend to be confused! If you are really a fool, you will dishonor our title of King Wu!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and knew that he could not avoid it.

I had no choice but to say: "Grandpa Huang is wise! Your gaze is like a torch, and nothing can escape your eyes..."

"Stop flattering!"

I didn't want to say it myself, but you insisted on making me say it!

It's not my fault.

Zhu Yunxi said confidently, "Grandpa Huang, if your grandson's guess is right, the result of the re-examination will already be available, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly had a smile on the corner of his mouth, narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Zhu Yunxi and said, "Then guess what the result is."

Zhu Yunxi said: "After this second re-examination, there must be no problem found, otherwise Liu Sanwu is now in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

The smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face was even bigger, "Our grandson is really smart! Then verify your guess is right."

As he spoke, he picked up a memorial from the desk, and threw it to Zhu Yunxi from the air, "Let's have a look!"

Zhu Yunxi took it, but didn't open it, but put it back on Zhu Yuanzhang's desk.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang slightly surprised, "Why, you are so sure?"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head, and said solemnly: "Grandfather, what is written in this memorial is not important, the results of the review are not important, and even the opinions of the examiners and review officials are not important! The important thing is that someone must bend the law for personal gain!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with great interest: "Why do you say that? Don't you want us to wrong the minister?"

Why don't you old gentleman know?
Then you lost your temper just now?
You have done a lot of things wronged, right?
Turning faces is faster than turning pages!

Zhu Yunxi said: "Even if this imperial examination is to appease the northern scholars and the people, someone must take responsibility. If rumors spread that the imperial court deliberately suppressed the northern scholars, then it will be a real crisis!"

With a smile on his face, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded approvingly and said, "Very good, very good. Others say we are ruthless, but we see that you are three points more ruthless than us."

"To each other..., my grandson still has to learn a lot from Grandpa Huang." Zhu Yunxie said with a humble look.

What Zhu Yunxi was talking about was finding a scapegoat.

In order to quell public anger, Cao Cao could use the head of the grain transport officer.

Now, in order to appease the grievances of northern scholars and common people, killing a few people is nothing.

Zhu Yuanzhang said hesitantly: "But if they are killed, they will be wronged after all..."

Zhu Yunxie said frankly: "Grandfather, there is an official called a corrupt official. They accept bribes, but although such people are greedy for money, they also have an advantage, that is, they can use money to do things, and some people can even do very good things." achievements."

"There is another kind of official who behaves beyond reproach, and is even regarded as a model in terms of conduct, but the superior cannot serve the court, the inferior cannot appease the people, and neither can govern the country.
I don’t know how to avenge people’s grievances, and I often take pleasure in the teachings of saints in the name of benevolence. Your Highness, which of these two types of people should be killed? "

"Both should be killed!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a fierce look in his words and deeds.

Zhu Yunxi said: "Now the examiners of the imperial examination are such incompetent and mediocre officials! They are decorated with the teachings of saints all day long, flaunt themselves with secular etiquette, and think of themselves as noble, but in fact they have no ability to govern the world!"

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang again, and said solemnly: "And they also deceived the emperor and grandson, so that His Highness the Second Highness of the East Palace, that is, the elder brother of this king, was deceived by them. It is simply unreasonable for them not to die!"

Zhu Yunxi must pick out his good brother!
