Daming: Is There Imperial Examination Fraud At The Beginning? I Cry As A Candidate During The Test

Chapter 115 Zhu Yuanzhang taught Zhu Biao: Ye Xuan, he must be the future assistant minister!

Royal study room.

After Zhu Yuanzhang sent Yang Xian away, he picked up the memorial on the table. His thoughts could not be concentrated and his vision was wandering.

A long while.

He turned to the eunuch next to him and said:

"Invite the prince over.

"Here."

The eunuch responded.

Then go to School Disciple to find Prince Zhu Biao.

"Father, what do you want from my son?"

Before Zhu Biao arrived, the voice came first, and then Bao Biao's figure fell into Bao Yuanzhang's eyes.

Zhu Biao wears a nine-piece red robe with a coiled collar and narrow sleeves. On the robe, there is a gold-woven coiled dragon on each shoulder, a jade belt around his waist, and leather boots. His eyebrows and eyes are quite similar to Zhu Yuanzhang, but more like Empress Ma.

His face was full of honesty and gentleness.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw him, his expression became gentle.

He informed him of what had just happened.

Zhu Biao looked surprised and frowned slightly.

"Did Yang Xian really say that?"

He did not expect that Yang Xian would report to Zhu Yuanzhang on "July 43". He thought that Yang Xian was an upright and honest official, like Liu Bowen, but who would have thought that Yang Xian was so restless.

"Biao'er, what do you think of Yang Xian and Li Shanchang?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"My son believes that what Yang Xian said to his father before was biased."

"Yang Xian and Li Shanchang are in different camps. Yang Xian's words may be suspected of discrediting Ji Shanchang.

"Li Shanchang is the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty."

"He used to follow my father when the world was in chaos, and he provided many strategies for you."

"At the beginning, Li Shanchang proposed the "nine-character policy"

“Build the wall high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly.

"And manages the food and wages in the rear."

"A lot of credit."

"His talent is obvious to all."

"So Yang Xian said that Li Shan has no great talent. I think this is purely his personal prejudice."

"Yang Xian, because Li Shanchang and he have different political views, so he smeared Li Shanchang. His moral character is lacking."

Zhu Biao analyzed.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao with relief.

"Good analysis."

"go on."

Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and continued:

"Yang Xian, although his moral character is lacking."

"However, when he was the prefect of Yangzhou, he was able to manage the government and make people live and work in peace and contentment. He also contributed a lot to Yangzhou's good harvests for several years.

"This means that he has a strong ability to manage the place."

"That's undeniable."

"However, after he entered Zhongshu Province, he was blinded by power.

"He is only a second-rank political official, but he dares to challenge Li Shanchang in front of all the officials in the court. He is really brave."

"If we let him get promoted."

"That's not bad."

"I'm afraid no one can suppress him."

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and his son did not know that Yang Xian's political achievements as magistrate of Yangzhou had a great impact on Yongfen.

Yang Xian completed the reclamation of wasteland within one year, but this was actually false.

In order to cope with the above.

It's just a layer of black soil poured on the wasteland.

Most of the grain that Yang Xian paid tribute in the second year was purchased with the relief money sent to Yangzhou by the imperial court.

In the palace examination, Zhu Yuanzhang liked the best rice ears.

Yang Xian bought it from a businessman with a lot of money.

Yang Xian was promoted from the governor of Yangzhou to the governor of Zhongshu Province and participated in political affairs because of the good rice ears in the imperial examination.

If Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Yang Xian deceived him.

I'm afraid Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.

"Biao'er, your evaluation is very accurate."

"It's not in vain that we let so many great scholars teach you."

He praised Zhu Biao.

Thought:

If Biao'er takes our position, he will definitely become a good emperor who knows people well and can make good use of others, bringing balance to the world and living and working in peace and contentment. However, Biao'er's experience is still a little less and he needs us to give him some guidance.

Concentrate your thoughts.

Zhu Yuanzhang concluded:

"Yang Xian behaves arrogantly."

"Nepotism."

"Not a good minister."

"But he's good at what he does."

"It can be used, but it cannot be reused."

Zhu Biao nodded, keeping Zhu Yuanzhang's words in mind.

"What about Li Shanchang?"

"Li Shanchang is greedy for power, but he is extremely good at using troops and strategies. If he is marching and fighting, he will escort food and grass from the rear, which can ensure that the frontline sergeants have enough food and grass. But this person is too greedy for power. This is a good thing for us. It's also a bad thing.

"We can use our power to lure him and make him do things for us."

"But if he refuses to let go of his power, he will definitely become a disaster."

"So, Li Shanchang should be cautious."

"If you really can't control it, then you can only..."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"Biao'er."

"As an emperor, you must not be merciful. When you should be soft, you should be soft, but when your methods should be hard, you must be ruthless. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles.

"My son, I understand."

Zhu Biao's heart sank and he said...

He has a kind heart.

But he still understood some things.

If you break it, break it, otherwise you will suffer the consequences.

"In addition, there is Liu Bowen.

"Liu Bowen is proud."

"Literati and Confucian scholars have been like this since ancient times, claiming to be noble.

“This person is not seduced by money and power.

"He is a good and honest official."

"Serve the people and do things for the Ming Dynasty."

"But this kind of person is often very stubborn. If he doesn't want to, he won't even cut off his head."

"These people are not good ministers who can help you."

Zhu Yuanzhang paused as he spoke.

Look at Zhu Biao's honest face.

There was another sentence that he didn't say.

These three people.

Zhu Biao may not be able to control it.

Liu Bowen is okay.

He doesn't care about fame and fortune.

Just fire him from his job.

But Yang Xian and Li Shanchang are different. If they are allowed to sit in high positions and want to remove them from their posts, it is equivalent to killing them, and they will definitely have different intentions.

Zhu Biao has a kind nature.

He may not necessarily take action against these two people.

These two people might become troublesome in the future.

Zhu Yuanzhang solemnly reminded Zhu Biao again just in case.

"Biao'er."

"Some things should be cut off."

"You must not be merciful."

"When you are an emperor, you should be ruthless."

"Otherwise, we won't be able to suppress the people below."

"Do you understand?"

Zhu Biao slightly disagreed, but when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang being so serious, he nodded.

Then ask:

"Father, you said that Yang Xian, Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang are not reusable by 5.3. Who should I use in the future?"

We can't let him make his own plans, right?

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered:

"Ye choose this person to be available."

"He may be a good assistant minister in the future.

"First of all, Ye Xuan is not greedy for power, nor is he corrupt and bending the law. Although he doesn't have much respect for us, he is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and that is enough."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it.

The one that suits him best is Ye Xuan.

Although this kid sometimes talks a lot, he is very resourceful, does not covet power, and is loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

Let him assist Zhu Biao.

Zhu Yuanzhang was the most at ease.

Zhu Yuanzhang once again warned Zhu Biao:

"Biao'er, Ye Xuan is available."

"Conquer Ye Xuan well."

"He will definitely be able to help you in the future."
