Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 174 174 Wang Buli arrived at the Imperial College that was "loyal" to him

Zhu Yuanzhang was so harsh and hated that iron could not become steel, which made Zhu Biao very uncomfortable.

Although he grew up in the flames of war, he was well protected by Zhu Yuanzhang and was hardly affected by the flames of war.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to go to worship his ancestors, he also told him, son, you grew up in wealth and are accustomed to peace and happiness. Along the way, take a good look at how the people live.

Only by knowing the sufferings of the common people can we be a better ruler in the future.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang had to hold his breath and finish everything, and let his son keep it.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang feels that the elders are too soft-hearted and treat those imperial students too seriously!

Zhu Yuanzhang himself worked as a cow and horse, and even the imperial students he raised were just high-end cows and horses in his circle.

You don’t want to be an official, but there are many people who want to be an official!

Zhu Yuanzhang just dealt with a lot of corrupt officials, not to mention the empty seal case that killed many officials, but only a few people wanted to quit.

Most people still want to flock to the Ming Dynasty and become officials.

Do you really think that in Lao Zhu's eyes, they can be regarded as masters and tools that cannot be discarded?

Give me a break.

Zhu Yuanzhang has been the emperor for so many years and has successfully transformed into a qualified political machine.

How much human warmth will he retain?

"Wenzhong, please instigate our son-in-law to do this and ask him to write a more detailed memorial.

I value this group of students, but the officials promoted from these two imperial examinations have really disappointed us. They have become stupid in their studies! "

Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to engage in the Yuan Dynasty's system of officials governing the country.

However, after these Jinshi became officials, they still relied on the officials below to handle government affairs, and they had no skills at all.

Such behavior made Zhu Yuanzhang very angry.

So after Wang Buli complained about the imperial examination, Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the situation and stopped the imperial examination.

He has always wanted to break the deadlock and find other talents to help him manage the place, but he has never found a suitable path.

On the contrary, the inspection system caused many people to join Hu Weiyong's camp, which gave Zhu Yuanzhang an unexpected joy.

But after Li Wenzhong finished speaking today, Zhu Yuanzhang also discovered a way to train officials like "raising gu", and he was willing to support Wang Buli in encouraging those students to do it.

Li Wenzhong quickly agreed. He also felt that the scholars assigned to him relied on his status as a Jinshi to point fingers and look down on them, a group of fighting men.

When men were fighting with others on the battlefield, you guys were kneeling on the ground, shrinking their balls and not even daring to take a knife. Now you are so arrogant!

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and told Li Wenzhong to seize the time to find soldiers with good water skills in the army, as well as people who are courageous and good at remembering the terrain. He would send an envoy to Japan.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang's mind is full of silver mines, and they all belong to us.

If this matter was not implemented, he would be heartbroken and always wanted to get it as soon as possible.

This method was used by Lao Zhu when he destroyed Ming Yuzhen's forces in Sichuan.

So Li Wenzhong understood what it meant as soon as he heard it.

"Your Majesty, our Ming Dynasty has not even recovered the land of Yunnan at this time. There are still more than 100,000 Mongolian soldiers there. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to rush to sea to attack Japan."

"Yes, I know."

Zhu Yuanzhang still valued Li Wenzhong, but he would not tell him some truths. He just said:

"Japanese pirates dare to attack our Ming Dynasty from time to time, burning, killing and looting.

I didn't ask people to draw terrain maps just to send soldiers there to attack Japan.

Instead, we sent a small group of people to retaliate, lest the Japanese king always think that we are just paying lip service and unwilling to stop those people from attacking our Ming Dynasty.

This can be regarded as spending a small amount of money to do big things. We still have to concentrate on dealing with the remnants of Beiyuan. If there are always Japanese pirates coming to cause trouble, it will make me upset. "

Li Wenzhong understood. He clearly knew Zhu Yuanzhang's main foreign policies.

I was afraid that after Wang Buli killed the Ryukyu envoy in the street, he would let the emperor rise up to crusade against the foreign barbarians.

Because Li Wenzhong knew very well that his uncle was really someone who dared to think and do what he did!

"I understand."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "After Wang Buli encourages students to go to the north, you have to discipline the students who stay in the Imperial College, and they must not let themselves loose anymore."

"Yes."

Li Wenzhong resigned.

The next step was to retreat everyone, and Zhu Yuanzhang started the training mode.

After Wang Buli returned home, he had a meal with his family and then lay on his bed, staring at the flintlock gun placed on the beam.

Ever since I made it, I really want to take it out.

But he knew that Lao Zhu would definitely send someone to keep an eye on him, so Wang Buli did not dare to act rashly, lest he leaked the information prematurely and failed to achieve the unexpected effect.

He thought about Zhu Mingxiu for a while. It would probably be Chinese Valentine's Day in the next two days, so he would take her out to play.

After Wang Buli woke up, he rode the lame horse Xiao Heizi as usual and went to inspect the construction site as early as possible.

Today, Yu Wenming, a newly promoted member of the Ministry of Works, reported to Wang Buli that a "colleague" who couldn't stand it committed suicide last night.

Most of them cannot bear the hardship of hard work.

Wang Buli rode on a tall horse and said with a smile: "It's really an advantage for him."

Yu Wenming didn't say much. Even if he died, the whole family would be sent to the north to guard the border.

Moreover, the emperor was extremely merciful by not killing his family.

Yu Wenming was even more afraid to reach out for things like this. He was also an official who came from the Great Yuan Dynasty and had a deeper understanding of the new emperor's thunderous methods.

Yu Wenming also didn't expect that Wang Buli's words were the same as those of the craftsmen who were working hard. It would really be an advantage for this corrupt official to die like this.

They wished that corrupt officials had been working in the hot sun while they sat in the shade and had a good rest.

Wang Buli returned to the county government office after his patrol, and Zhong Niu, the arrester, immediately came to report.

"Fourth Master, some people said that they saw Liu Youjiang drinking with others. They seemed to be familiar with each other, and they were even talking about each other."

"That means someone wants to kill him. Check Liu Youjiang's personal network and see who he associates with."

"Yes."

After Zhong Niu retreated, Jiang Huan came up and said, "Fourth Master, Duke Cao has been waiting in the room for a long time."

"Oh."

Wang Buli responded before entering his lounge.

Li Wenzhong is reading Wang Buli's work diary.

For example, what I did today and how I handled it was interesting.

Because many officials don't have this habit.

Of course, what Li Wenzhong didn't know was, could what he wrote be a real work diary?

Even though Wang Buli doesn't work, he still has to add extra work to his work diary.

He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would send people to watch him, so he had to pretend that he was very diligent.

"When Mr. Cao Guo comes, just send someone to call me."

"I'm not in a hurry."

Li Wenzhong closed Wang Buli's work diary and smiled:

"Your Majesty asked me to talk to you. I hope you can write a memorial to ask the students of the Imperial College to go to the north, so that the emperor can cooperate with you."

"Did you tell His Majesty?"

"Having said that, Your Majesty thinks this is a good idea, and since there won't be any imperial examinations in a short time, it would be an excellent way out for these students to go to the north to practice."

Wang Buli understood that according to Lao Zhu's habit of not treating people as human beings, it was absolutely normal for these scholars to be trained.

As for how many people died, he didn't consider it at all.

Lao Zhu has always been so indifferent to human life.

But throw all these people to the north for training. After a few people have been trained by then, the process of Zhu Xiaosi's relief will not be too difficult.

"Cousin, sit down for a while. I'll write a draft right now. You still have to polish this memorial."

Wang Buli took advantage of the situation and pushed the job out.

"Ok?"

"As for my understanding of the North, I only learned about it from some newspapers and people who have been on expeditions. It is far less profound than if you have been there in person."

Wang Buli could come up with ideas, but he was too lazy to write a letter that was beyond the scope of his responsibilities.

"That's fine." Li Wenzhong didn't think much about it, and felt that what Wang Buli said was reasonable.

After a while, Wang Buli finished the draft and showed it to Li Wenzhong.

Li Wenzhong tinkered with it again. After a long time, he finally finished the final draft.

"This morning, we saw people from the Ministry of Justice carrying away the remaining envoys from Ryukyu according to the prince's order."

Wang Buli knew about this. It was probably the chart drawn by the envoys yesterday. It would be no problem to find someone to look at it.

"what happened?"

"I think His Majesty has the intention to attack Japan."

"impossible."

Wang Buli laughed inside when he heard this, but on his face he still waved his hands and said:

"Now that the Ming Dynasty has not even destroyed the Northern Yuan Dynasty, how can it send troops to attack Japan?

Even when the envoy sent to North Korea was killed by Fan Bang, His Majesty did not send troops to avenge him.

Just relying on some Japanese to cause trouble and cross the sea to attack Japan would definitely not happen. Cao Guogong was too worried. "

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know that Japan had gold and silver mines. He even listed Japan as a country without conquest. Give him a hammer!

Li Wenzhong also nodded when he heard this, but he said:

"You don't understand Your Majesty. We have followed him for many years. Once he wants to swallow up other forces, he will definitely not reveal his true intentions. Instead, he will slowly collect information and be fully prepared."

Wang Buli didn't know Zhu Yuanzhang, but he also knew some historical trends. Lao Zhu had always been afraid of the old example of the Mongols' two expeditions to Japan, where they lost troops and generals. According to his current temperament, he would definitely not take such a big risk.

What's more, the place in Japan is an enclave and is not within the control of Lao Zhu Dalu, so it is difficult for him to be interested.

In short, the benefits are not big and the risks are huge.

How could Zhu Yuanzhang do this?

"Taking a step back, even if His Majesty really plans to go on an expedition to Japan, is it possible that Duke Cao can still stop him?"

Wang Buli waved his fan and said with a smile: "In a short period of time, we should work hard to attack the Beiyuan War in Yunnan."

Li Wenzhong heard that Wang Buli's words made sense, but he still felt in his heart that his uncle would take the risk of conquering Japan.

Especially when it came to asking him to select good players in the entire army, Prince Zhu Biao surprisingly did not join in to dissuade him.

This only heightened Li Wenzhong’s doubts!

But he looked at Wang Buli's draft and decided to do the things in front of him first.

After Zhu Yuanzhang read it, he was very satisfied and asked them to take action immediately.

So when Li Wenzhong announced to everyone on behalf of the Imperial College, Prince Consort Wang Buli would come to the Imperial College to give a "lecture" in two days.

Interested students can come and have a listen.

This news immediately aroused the enthusiasm of many people. They all looked forward to Wang Buli's visit, and even wanted to take the opportunity to step on him and make themselves famous.

After all, the fastest way for a scholar to become famous is to step on the shoulders of another celebrity.

Otherwise, those great scholars would not introduce him as my disciple, and I hope everyone can give me some face.

Now even the little prodigy Jie Jin had no intention of studying. He also wanted to see this prince-in-law who asked for orders for the people and dared to kill the messenger in the street.

So when Wang Buli entered the Imperial College, people continued to report the formation.

The group of students from the Imperial College were like watching exotic animals in a zoo, they all gathered around, making noises and talking about anything.

Fortunately, Li Wenzhong was prepared in advance and hired people from the Military and Horse Division to maintain order, thus avoiding any trouble.

Baihu Ma Zhao has been feeling depressed these days. It was obvious that he showed his face, but in the end he turned into a young man.

However, the news circulating in the market is also about Li Jinglong, and there is no matter between him and His Highness King Yan at all.

But he didn't dare to argue with the young master alone, so he could only talk to Wang Buli, and then he took the initiative to apply to come to maintain order.

But I didn't get any opportunities on the way. At this time, I could only keep a cold face and keep driving away the students who wanted to "come first" and refute Wang Buli on the way.

And he also rudely kicked some students who were agitating, and told them that if they didn't disperse, they would all be escorted away, and no one could block the way.

Li Wenzhong was also rude at this time. These students really didn't understand any rules.

Wang Buli laughed when he saw this: "I thought that the students in the Imperial College were all disciplined people, but I never expected that they would be so noisy and rude. Your Majesty's judgment was correct."

After Le Shaofeng, the first Minister of War, retired, he became a doctor in the Imperial College.

The main reason was to suppress the descendants of those who were third-grade or above and the nobles of the country. Hearing Wang Buli's sarcastic words, his face turned green and red.

Doesn't this mean that teachers like them can't control these students?

That's why His Majesty brought Li Wenzhong as a sacrificial wine, just to rectify the undisciplined image of the students.

After all, these more than 3,000 people are not engaged in production and are supported by the imperial court. It is easy to have a lot of time just reading and coping with life.

Shangyuan County sent quite a few government officials to patrol here.

Now Li Wenzhong serves as the Imperial College's sacrificial wine, also known as the principal.

Regardless of the noble ideas of scholars, he directly waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to forcibly clear the way.

The real swords and guns were unsheathed, and these people were all frightened and quickly got out of the way.

Wang Buli then walked to a platform under the protection of a group of soldiers.

To be honest, the Imperial College does not have the environment for large-scale speeches at all.

The key is that Li Wenzhong did not expect that so many people would come to see it, and there were also people who were not students of the Imperial Academy to join in the fun.

A square was filled with people who had been waiting for a long time.

There were many people sitting on the walls.

Fang Xiaoru, the best among the Imperial Academy, was still placed at the front, so that if Wang Buli revealed any mistakes or omissions, they could discover them immediately.

When Wang Buli finally overcame all difficulties, he walked to the small temporary platform and looked at the people around him. Most of them were students wearing square scarves, and there were also people wearing silk.

In order to let Wang Buli's voice travel farther, Li Wenzhong had buried a large vat in the ground to make the sound travel as far as possible.

This is the way to go in the military.

Wang Buli also brought a temporary wooden trumpet.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang and his son came, but they were protected by Jin Yiwei's posing as a student.

Wang Buli saw that this group of people stood without any rules. If there was a crowding and stampede, many people might die.

After his family taught him that his grandfather was squeezed to death by the crowd and the stage while standing in the front row of a theater, he became very wary of places where people gather closely.

"Cousin, I feel dizzy looking at the scene in front of me. Can you arrange for soldiers to separate them one by one, so as to prevent a crushing and stampede incident due to someone making noise?"

Li Wenzhong didn't think that Wang Buli would be dizzy because of the large number of people. He knew that His Majesty was in the crowd, and the Ming Dynasty did not prepare for any stampede incident.

They don't even know that stampedes can easily occur when crowds gather.

Therefore, after Wang Buli arrived at the podium, he did not start giving a lecture immediately, but waited for Li Wenzhong to arrange safety matters.

On the other hand, the people below were a little dissatisfied that Wang Buli just sat there and did not start speaking immediately after he came on stage.

Then all kinds of discussions started.

Fang Xiaoru believed that his knowledge was praised by his teachers and classmates, and since he was also capable, he was confident that he could contribute to the Ming Dynasty.

Now listening to people around him talking about whether Wang Buli was too scared to speak in front of so many people, he slightly suppressed the voices around him:

"Don't speculate. Since the Prince Consort dared to plead for the people, kill the envoys on the street, and make them obey the law, how could he be afraid of such a scene?"

Fang Xiaoru's reputation was very good, and everyone gathered around him was convinced.

"Now that the Prince Consort is here, after waiting for such a long time, there is nothing wrong with waiting any longer."

Then many soldiers came in, and they began to squeeze and drive some students into pieces.

Li Wenzhong stood on the stage and held Wang Buli's loudspeaker to announce to everyone not to be too crowded, otherwise a stampede would occur, and who knows how many people would be killed or injured.

Li Wenzhong understood the stampede incident as a scene of overwhelming defeat. Even without him chasing him, the enemy could trample many of his own soldiers to death, especially when they were in a panic.

At this time, no one among the soldiers in the chaos is willing to listen to others. These headless flies will not stop unless enough people die.

Li Wenzhong felt that Wang Buli's thinking was indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people, and he could think of additional risks just here.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not stand with Zhu Biao to avoid being recognized by Wang Buli.

This kind of speech was the first time in the Ming Dynasty, so the host did not consider everything and just let the students stand randomly.

Zhu Biao also had to listen to the arrangement and make a stick of incense before finishing these things.

Only then did they see Wang Buli slowly stand up from his chair, take the wooden trumpet from Li Wenzhong's hand, hold it in front of him, and say seriously:

"Everyone, it really pains me that you are all in danger and don't know it."
