Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 357
Seeing that Wei Shouzheng, whom he had just met recently, was arrested, Du Dongting stood there hesitating, feeling like a war between heaven and man.If Wei Shouzheng is killed, doesn't that mean that there will be no champion this year, and at worst, he will be promoted to second place.

Du Dongting hesitated.

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was about to speak, Du Dongting suddenly took a step forward, knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, Wei Shouzheng has left a manuscript in the inn, which can prove his innocence."

If Wei Shouzheng was able to answer in front of the hall, if it wasn't for the fact that the content of his answers was the same as the article in the Daming Weekly, he would never be considered plagiarized.

"Nonsense, who has so much time." A civil servant said angrily.

The officials standing on the hall reprimanded Du Dongting.

"Whether it's true or not, we need to interrogate again. Don't let the court lose talents because of impulsiveness." Li Shanchang said to those civil servants.

Lao Zhu admired these people very much this year, and Li Shanchang's words just became the next step, so he nodded and followed Li Shanchang's method.

Li Shanchang glanced at Zhu Biao, thinking that he had done the prince a great favor this time, so he went down to arrange for someone to interrogate Wei Shouzheng.

During the questioning, Wei Shouzheng still said that he was the "commoner" and then the official department led people to follow Du Dongting to the inn to look for it. Sure enough, he found the first draft of the vision for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

Among them, based on the agricultural fertilizers and grains mentioned in the Daming Weekly, it discussed straight roads, household registration, and the affairs of the North and South Navy and Army Schools. This Wei Shouzheng also drew many sketches himself.

Wei Shouzheng is the business of ordinary people. The civil servants think this is the key to the prosperity of science and technology officials. The academicians occupy that square inch of the imperial court.

Lao Zhu handed Wei Shouzheng's first draft and many sketches to Zhu Biao: "Wei Shouzheng and Du Dongting, we will send you to the East Palace this year, and next year you can't poach our No. [-] scholar away."

Zhu Biao knew that Lao Zhu was joking, so he laughed and teased: "The talents cultivated by my son seem to be used by my father in the end. I am too sorry for this."

"Zhu Biao, we are your father, shouldn't you be doing this?" Old Zhu patted the back of Zhu Biao's head lightly, and took Yu Yi back to the bedroom.

The figure on the white marble steps walks farther and farther away, and the Dragon Teng on the stone relief is vivid in the sunshine of early spring.On the vermilion palace wall, glazed tiles look brownish-yellow from a distance.

A pair of servants walked down the palace road, turned around to salute Zhu Biao from a distance, and then turned to leave.

Looking at the layers of palace walls and courtyards, Zhu Biao sighed in his heart, this is the current imperial city, and he will build a bigger imperial city in the future.

"All nations will come to court, and it will be realized. All the obstacles I have encountered now can only show that my own strength is not enough."

Zhu Biao squinted his eyes, looked at the row upon row of palaces, and said to himself.

After walking a few steps, Zhu Biao turned around and said, "Where is Wei Shouzheng now?"

Sanbao immediately responded, and stood not far behind Zhu Biao, "Wei Shouzheng is in the National Scholars Academy, and Tao Chengdao took him away from the prison."

Hearing the news, Zhu Biao laughed and shook his head: "This Tao Chengdao is getting more and more aware of Gu's intentions in doing things. Let's go to the National Academy of Scholars."

In the kitchen of the backyard of the National Academy of Scholars, there is a dining hall where academicians eat. The smell of cooking food mixed with the sour smell of swill permeates the entire dining hall.

Zhu Biao stepped in and saw Wei Shouzheng and Du Dongting who were eating at the innermost table, frowned and said, "Why are you eating here? It's rumored that people are going to say that you are lonely and neglecting the number one scholar."

The food is not shabby, three small dishes, plus two meat dishes, freshly steamed white rice, looks very delicious.

Wei Shouzheng, who was eating, put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up from the table, leveled himself with Zhu Biao, and straightened his clothes: "I have seen His Royal Highness."

Du Dongting's chair also creaked, and then he walked to the side: "Du Dongting has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Wei Shouzheng's face was dark yellow, and there were still many stains on his clothes. It seemed that he hadn't washed and washed since he was released from prison. He lowered his head and dared not look at Zhu Biao.

The cook who came in to deliver the food and the master chef who was holding the spoon hurried over to meet you. The prince and His Majesty are the same person.

Zhu Biao of the National Academy of Scholars usually comes here often, but he seldom comes here after the kitchen. Today he came for Wei Shouzheng.

"Wei Shouzheng, Du Dongting, Liu Bei once invited Zhuge three times, my father invited Liu Ji several times, and today I'm here to invite you in the kitchen."

Zhu Biao didn't use an honorific title here, but just called you and me. For Wei Shouzheng, he understood what it meant, and it was similar to Corporal Li Xian.

Talents are important at all times. No matter how powerful Zhu Biao is, he still needs a few capable assistants around him to do things. For talents, of course, the idea is to choose a few from them.

Last year, there were also champions, but the articles in the answer were still mainly to compliment the group of civil servants. This year, the people selected from science and technology, as long as they have a foundation, Zhu Biao can shape them.

Wei Shouzheng knew how much he weighed, so he was flattered that Zhu Biao came to pick him up in person.This group of people is looking forward to having a bole, someone who appreciates and appreciates them, and they will repay their kindness.

Zhu Biao asked Sanbao to take Wei Shouzheng and Du Dongting to arrange a residence, but along the way, he saw Hu Dapeng coming out of a brothel from the carriage along the way. The woman stood upstairs and waved to Hu Dapeng.

"Why is Hu Dapeng here?" Zhu Biao motioned Sanbao to come closer: "Is that him?"

"It is Hu Dapeng, the son of Hu Weiyong." Sanbao nodded.

Zhu Biao didn't bother to care about him. If Hu Weiyong came in and out of here today, he could say that his official style is corrupt.

But his son is here, and Hu Dapeng has no official position in the court, so he is left alone.

"That was the art gallery opened last month in Beijing, and now it has become the most famous art gallery. I heard that the girls there are fresh every day." Sanbao tilted his head and looked at the brothel outside.

"Fresh? Do you still describe women as fresh?" Zhu Biao glanced at Sanbao: "Is it new every day?"

Sanbao nodded: "The faces are different every day."

"Then how do you know so clearly? You have been in." Zhu Biao looked at Sanbao and asked.

Sanbao smiled embarrassedly, saying that he had never been there before, and even if he wanted to go, he had to have something to use, and he didn't have that thing.

Du Dongting and Wei Shouzheng sat in the pony carriage of the National Academy of Scholars, explaining to Wei Shouzheng along the way.

"The Meridian Gate, Donghua Gate, Xihua Gate, and Xuanwu Gate can all be used for entry and exit. There are Zuo Shun Gate and You Shun Gate next to the Meridian Gate. They are used by ministers during court meetings." Du Dongting knows a lot.

Wei Shouzheng knew about other things, but he didn't know as much about these things in the palace as Du Dongting.

"We were summoned by the prince, and we have to go through the Donghua gate in a while." Du Dongting explained in detail.

Wei Shouzheng is from the north, and he travels a long distance to buy the Ming Weekly in his prefecture and county for many things on weekdays.

Now that he is in the capital, he has even been to the National Academy of Scholars. Thinking of this, Wei Shouzheng cherishes this opportunity very much.

Zhu Biao told them that he would take them to see the princess later, and then arrange a place for them to live near the East Palace.

But they will be foreign ministers from now on, and they cannot enter the East Palace at will without being summoned by the prince. There are many female relatives in the East Palace, so if they enter without being summoned, this is a violation of the palace law.

These Three Jewels have already told them.
