I want to be a grandson

Chapter 222 Refuting Zhu Yuanzhang

Because even if Zhu Yunqi was taken out, Zhu Yuanzhang's impression of him would be greatly reduced!

Since he is no longer a threat to himself, and he can show the magnanimity of his love for his brother, why not do it?

Besides, even if Zhu Yunqi was implicated, even if he was punished, the punishment would not be too heavy.

Since you can't kill the opponent directly, then don't worry.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he didn't treat Zhu Yongzhang sincerely, so what, he wouldn't care.

Born in the emperor's family, with the same father, and even became a competitor for a time, how can there be any family affection at all!

As long as the superficial harmony can be maintained, Zhu Yuanzhang will not say anything.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang is not an ignorant person. It is impossible to expect a family to be harmonious and beautiful, brothers to be respectful and humble, without intrigue.

Zhu Yuanzhang would not expect too much.

As long as there are no brothers fighting against the wall, Zhu Yuanzhang will be very satisfied.

So surface work must be done.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "After all, the imperial examination was presided over by Yun Yun. If there is no responsibility, I'm afraid it can't be justified."

Zhu Yunxi knew that this was a trap, so he said confidently: "Who doesn't know that His Highness the Second Highness of the Eastern Palace is worrying all day and night for this imperial examination, and forgets to eat and sleep!"

"Originally, my brother trusted and respected the examiner very much, but who would have thought that they would be so bold, betray their trust, and be partial, so what is my brother's fault! The examiner is at fault!"

This is typical royal no fault!
Don't even admit it's wrong!
Isn't it easy to find a scapegoat?

"You really..."

The muscles on Zhu Yuanzhang's face twitched a little. When it comes to the technique of messing around and changing the subject, his grandson is really as good as fire!
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "We are going to dismiss all the southern candidates in this imperial examination and select [-] northern candidates to enter the list. What do you think?"

Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly, and asked, "Why does Grandpa Huang think so?"

"Humph!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, "In the previous few imperial examinations, the number of scholars admitted in the south was two or three times that of the scholars in the north! They should be content!"

Historically, from the fourth year of Hongwu to the 30th year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty opened six subjects, and there were 860 Jinshi in each subject, of which 620 were from the south, accounting for 70.00% of the total.

And there are only 240 candidates from the north!

This is the result of Zhu Yuanzhang's 30 years in Hongwu, when he deliberately recruited 61 northern scholars!

It can be seen from this that in the past several imperial examinations, what proportion of the market value in the south accounted for!

This is simply "Southern people occupy the imperial list"!

Zhu Yuanzhang taught another lesson: "If you can't govern the world only by talents from one place, they can easily unite to form a party. If the court has no other forces to suppress them, they will grow bigger and bigger, and even overthrow the imperial power. You must Be cautious!"

Zhu Yunxi saluted and said, "Yes, my grandson will remember! Thank you, Grandpa Huang, for your teaching!"

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "If you don't take the opportunity to beat the scholars in the south, they will think that Ming Dynasty really can't do without them!
You have to remember, as an emperor, you can't be tripped by anyone!Scholars can use it if they can, if they dare to block the way, hum..."

I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang has already seen through scholars.

It is really a blessing from heaven that a cowherd baby grows up to such an extent.

Zhu Yunxi took a deep breath and said, "Grandfather, grandson thinks it is appropriate to depose all the scholars in the south, we need to consider it..."

"Oh, you have a different opinion?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhu Yunxi expressed his worries, "Grandfather, at this time, the northern scholars are suing someone who favors the southern candidates. The two sides are already a little unhappy. The southern candidates can even be said to be a disaster without reason.

Under such circumstances, if they are all dismissed, they will think that the northern scholars complained to the saints, and they will hold a grudge against them. If all the northern candidates are admitted at this time, their hatred will increase. "

The reason why Zhu Yunxi said this is because the "North and South List" implemented by Zhu Yuanzhang in the 30th year of Hongwu was not appropriate.

Because Hongwu's 30-year north-south list actually overturned the list of scholars from the south, and it doesn't count.

Then there was a list of all northern scholars admitted, not the north-south list that was later admitted separately from the north and the south.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang did that was to protect the interests of the scholars in the north, and to beat the scholars in the south.

Zhu Yuanzhang's anger was vented, but.It will also bring competition and hostility between candidates from the North and the South, and aggravate regional discrimination.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and then said: "The northern candidates have the support of the emperor's grandfather, so they will inevitably be arrogant. Wouldn't this intensify the conflict between the northern and southern officials?"

"At that time, the imperial court will be divided into the Southern Party and the Northern Party. The two factions are huge. Once they fight and crush each other, there will be no peace. So Suner thinks this method is not appropriate."

In fact, Zhu Yunxi understands that party disputes cannot be avoided at any time.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

But if it can slow down the occurrence of factionalism and reduce the threat of factionism, that would be quite good.

"Then what do you say!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with some displeasure.

After all, he wanted to take this opportunity to beat up the scholars in the south, and he was also sullen for himself. Who would have thought that he would be rejected, so how could he be happy.

Zhu Yunxi said: "These examiners are punished with other crimes. The imperial court cannot admit that someone is partial to southern scholars. At the same time, it released news that someone suggested that the emperor cancel the grades of all candidates, and no one will be admitted this time."

"Then...it will come naturally..."

……

The night is already deep.

But in a small room at the root of the outer imperial city, there came Qingtong, the servant next to Zhu Yuanzhang, the eunuch and eunuch.

Qing Tong was wearing a gray eunuch costume, and an inconspicuous gray cloak over it.

In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he was a humble slave, but in front of these people he was a superior.

At this time, Qing Tong was sitting on a chair, staring at the eunuchs and court ladies who were standing bowed.

Qingtong asked in a cold voice, "What's the situation at the East Palace?"

A court lady bowed and saluted, and reported: "If you go back to the father-in-law, since the princess heard about the outbreak of the imperial examination, she has locked herself in the room for a long time, and she seems a little irritable."

"Afterwards, Xiaocui, the maid who combs the hair next to the princess, went out of the palace and went home to visit relatives. When she came back, she brought a comb for combing her hair, small things such as handkerchiefs and hair ropes, and a red jacket."
