Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 303
"Yao Guangxiao, what do you say?"

"I have no other ideas. I only think that Lan Yu is good at using soldiers and is a rare talent. If Lan Yu is not in the capital, I will definitely find him and ask him for advice on how to govern the country."

"Hey, Demonic Monk, I can't see your little thoughts. I advise you not to think wildly. As an official, you should act like an official!"

"I am also thinking about the king. I am not like some people. To put it nicely, I am just a scholar. To put it worse, I am just a bad scholar who is just waiting to die!"

"How dare you insult me!" Jie Jin's eyes widened and he shouted, "I am doing this for your Majesty's benefit!

Think about it, your Majesty has contacted generals from other places before he ascended the throne. This is not a good thing for your Majesty's reputation! "

"Here are His Majesty's cronies. If anything is leaked, you must tell His Majesty!"

Yao Guangxiao made an excuse for himself and lowered his voice, "King, I think the emperor should have asked Xie Jin to keep an eye on you. Why don't we take advantage of this opportunity today to kill this guy!"

"You actually want my life?!"

"I like to drink away my worries!"

Seeing the two arguing again, Zhu Tuo slapped his hand on the table and cursed loudly: "You are so decent, why don't you learn from me? I am low-key and humble, a simple and unpretentious person, and I never argue with others."

"Your Majesty is right." The two hurriedly cupped their hands.

"Okay, come on, let's have a drink!"

At this time, when the examination came to an end, the imperial examination also began. After Zhu Yuanzhang's review, the ten number one candidates were finally determined, five of whom were from Jiangnan and five from the north.

While everyone was waiting, the bell rang, and a scholar came out with several government officials.

And right in front of this notice was a notice.

Everyone was staring at the list, and everyone was holding their breath and staring intently.

"No.1, Yang Rong!"

"Thank you for your kindness,

Yang Rong, top of the list!
The screams of death echoed in the yamen, "Who is Yang Rong?"

The officials asked this question just to go through the formality. During the formality, the top performers had to sing three times before they were taken to the street outside the imperial city by the people from Honglu Temple to express their gratitude to the emperor.

Yang Rong straightened his clothes and strode forward.

When he appeared, many scholars looked enviously.

Damn it, why is it his turn?why it's not me?

However, some people expressed doubts about this. After all, Yang Rong was King Su's disciple. It would be unfair if Yang Rong got the top spot in the imperial examination by cheating.

However, they only said these words in their hearts and did not say them out loud.

Liu Sanwu is the examiner of this exam, that's why they are so arrogant.

The examiner this time is the Holy One.

If they dare to refute or doubt, then ten lives are not enough.

Yang Rong looked up at the sky with a calm expression. His calm and calm demeanor when he was frustrated made the official of Honglu Temple secretly praise him. He was a talent who would not change his color even if Mount Tai collapsed.

Palace 28:

"Scholar Yang Rong, please give my regards to these gentlemen!" Yang Rong bowed.

The old man in big red robe quickly helped him up and said with a smile: "You two, come with me!"

Yang Rong followed an official from Honglu Temple, lined up from the crowd, and walked towards the palace.The so-called imperial road is actually a road prepared for the emperor. Only those who pass the imperial examination can enter it. Other than that, no one can enter it.

Yang Rong strode along the Imperial City Avenue, but his heart was filled with excitement. From today on, Yang Rong will truly embark on an official career. He will no longer be the unsatisfactory master and apprentice. He will serve as his master in the court. Make suggestions!

"Thank you Zhulong for your grace, my lord Yang Rong!"

Yang Rong finished his salute and retreated to the left.

Next, the three names A and B were read out, the same three times. The two names A and B were Chen An, who had a relationship with Zhu Tuo, and the three names C were Shi Jingtong. They were also on the imperial road to thank the emperor for his kindness.

It was not until dusk that the ceremony came to an end. There were musicians playing the piano outside the hall. More than a hundred people, led by Liu Sanwu, once again bowed and kowtowed. Then the three top three people paid their respects to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Listen to Zhu Yuanzhang's speech.

"You're welcome, please get up quickly." Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand to Yang Rong on the throne.

Yang Rong stood up respectfully, his eyes falling on the emperor.

In his life, he had never seen Zhu Yuanzhang very much. He only heard that his emperor was wise, powerful and talented.

However, there are still some negative things in the rumors, such as the king's ruthlessness and cruel methods.

"There must be something extraordinary about you being able to become the leader of this term. Now that I am the king of the Ming Dynasty according to God's will, I must ensure peace in the world, so that everyone in the world has fields to farm, jobs to make money, and no food shortage. You have to be well-clothed and not warm, but you need to be stable, not to be bandits, not to fight for war, only in this way can you have a clear conscience."

"I have worked hard for 30 years. Although the people's customs are good, this dream has not been realized. The country is also in troubled times, with floods, droughts, mutinies, and civil commotions. I would like to ask you, do you have a governance system? A good policy for the country?"

Hearing this, Yang Rong frowned and fell into deep thought.

This founder of Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be asking him for advice.

However, Yang Rong will not act without aim.

Xie Jin is a good example. He was a scholar. He was admitted to the first place and was favored by Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and asked him what to do. Xie Jin was very excited.

Overnight, he drafted a "Ten Strategies for Peace" and presented it to the emperor. In it, he impassionedly expounded on many issues such as the Ming Dynasty's decrees, people's livelihood, and military power.

Zhu Yuanzhang appreciated this sentence very much and said it very well. He would never say it again in the future.But

Then he issued an order to return to China for ten years to think about how to become an official!

Therefore, he had to have a practical policy in order to displease the emperor.

Yang Rong was not a fool. He thought for a while and said: "Now the Ming Dynasty is peaceful, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. This is a prosperous age that I have never seen in the past hundred years. Although there are some minor problems, they are all caused by some officials. We These scholars only need to surround the emperor and act according to the emperor's will, and they will be able to govern the Ming Dynasty in an orderly manner."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and looked at Yang Rong in confusion.

According to common sense, these scholars who have not yet entered the officialdom have some messy things in their minds. Zhu Yuanzhang originally thought that Yang Rong would talk a few words and explain the current problems of the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, I was praised a lot when we met.

Sure enough, he was Zhu Tuo's apprentice, and everything he learned with him was learned from him.

For a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know whether he was happy or angry.

However, Yang Rong also knew that he could not always please the emperor. The emperor was not easy to fool, so he quickly gave the court an opinion, that is, to safeguard the people's wealth and their anointing.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "What is the right to survive?"

"These are what the prince said. I believe that the right to live is to ensure the people's food and clothing. As for officials, it does not depend on how high their taxes are, but whether the residents under their rule are enslaved.
