Lao Zhu has a strong desire to win over the people of the world. He knows that the country of Ming Dynasty is not only the country of Huaixi people, it is also the country of people all over the world.

Therefore, almost all princesses and concubines come from the families of the founding heroes. This phenomenon must be changed. In addition to some princes' concubines, they must consider being born commoners, and they must also consider the heirlooms of poems and books.

But this is still a bit unconvincing, so Lao Zhu is now thinking about choosing a good consort for his youngest daughter.

Time has entered the fifteenth year of Hongwu, and the imperial examination, which has been suspended for ten years, has started again. The imperial examination system should return to normal, and the rule of "one examination every three years will be the rule" has been set.

This makes countless scholars extremely excited. This is their opportunity to be named on the gold list. This is their opportunity to shine on the lintel and change their family. This is also the beginning of their learning of literature and martial arts, and their entry into the imperial family.

This time the imperial examination was a little rushed, and some scholars from far away places were not able to come to Beijing to take the exam, which may have slightly affected the quality of the imperial examination in this subject.

Zhu Xiongying was surrounded by a large number of people. Zhu Xiongying, who was in a good mood, was watching the excitement, "Sister Yu'er, do you think this counts as a royal bragging?"

Xiao Yu'er looked ahead and said, "I think it is like this, it is sung like this in the opera."

In fact, the imperial examinations in the Hongwu Dynasty were still relatively good. Although there are still rumors and the scenery of hanging up the yellow list, it is still not possible to count on the umbrella cover to follow the rules and send the number one scholar to the first place.

But it doesn't matter. Although there is no official department, the officials of the Ministry of Rites hold the imperial edict and sound the gong to clear the way. The number one scholar, wearing a red robe and a palace flower on his hat, rides a tall horse through the imperial streets of the imperial city to accept the congratulations of all the people.

But the Enrong Banquet is indispensable, and of course it is also indispensable to pay homage to Saint Kong. These are also beautiful moments.

Zhu Xiongying thought about it and said, "After some time, we will also go to the next exam and get the identity of a child first. Then there may be someone who will catch the son-in-law. By the way, what about the merchants and nobles of Ming Dynasty?"

Didn’t you catch your son-in-law?"

Xiao Yu'er pursed her lips and smiled. The Jinshi in the Song Dynasty were extremely famous. Once they were named on the gold list, they would have money and beautiful women. But these Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty did not have such treatment.

Chang Sen handed over some fruits and said, "Your Highness, are you thirsty?"

Zhu Xiongying gnawed on the fruit and said happily, "It's lively when there are so many people here. These scholars should be the pillars of our Ming Dynasty."

That's what he said, but Zhu Xiongying knew very well that most of these Jinshi were probably small officials such as county magistrates. It would be very difficult to climb to the fourth rank and be qualified to go to court. Even if they were among the top three,

The most glorious moment in many people's lives is when they become Jinshi, but it does not mean that they will definitely become important ministers in the future.

Zhu Xiongying, who was watching the excitement with a smile, remembered something and said, "Tomorrow, someone will go to Ouyang Lun's mansion to send a greeting note. We are relatives of Cao Guogong's family. Let the steward of Cao Guogong's family write a greeting note. I should have some status, but

Don’t make it too heavy.”

Jiang Wei, who was photographed in front of Zhu Xiongying by Lao Zhu, immediately said, "Your Highness, don't worry, I understand."

Zhu Xiongying nodded calmly and said, "That's it. We saw a nice restaurant in front of us, let's go and have a seat."

Xiao Yu'er immediately grimaced and said to Zhu Xiongying, "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's difficult to go to the restaurant."

Forget it, let’s go back to the palace. After walking around for a while, it’s time to go home.

As soon as he returned to Kunning Palace, Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but feel happy. Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao were now trying to persuade Zhu Jingwan to accept the young talent they had chosen.

Ouyang Lun is the best among them, Lao Zhu's favorite prospective son-in-law, and Zhu Biao also feels that this is a good candidate for his brother-in-law.

"Don't settle in such a hurry!" Zhu Xiongying rushed over and stood in front of Zhu Jingwan, "We haven't taken a good look at the person yet. That person has just won the election. It's the time when the spring breeze is triumphant. Let's go and take a look. Let's take a look.

See if that person is arrogant after gaining identity and status!"

Zhu Biao pushed Zhu Xiongying away and said disgustedly, "You have been to the Imperial College a few times and watched people secretly. Ouyang Lun is pretty good. Although his talent and learning are not top-notch, he has some real talent and learning. He also has no family and his age.

It’s also suitable. He is a good match for your sister-in-law.”

Lao Zhu also immediately said, "That is, can your father and I harm your sister-in-law? We know that you and your sister-in-law are very close. After all, she has grown up and it is time for her to marry someone. You can't let your sister-in-law stay with you all the time.

Here, you can’t grow up to be an old girl!”

Seeing Zhu Xiongying's eyes rolling around, Lao Zhu found it funny, "You, it's your turn to worry about it. It's not your place to worry about. You're just wondering what the hell is this!"

Zhu Xiongying made sense when he thought about it, but there were many reasons, "My grandfather and father were busy with government affairs and had no time to take care of family affairs. We are the eldest son and grandson of the Zhu family, so it is naturally our turn to worry about these things. We have been since we were young.

We can only help grandma. When we grow up, grandma won’t have to worry about it. We can take care of it.”

Queen Ma was so happy that she hugged Zhu Xiongying and said, "We are still obedient and considerate, and I feel sorry for my grandmother the most."

Zhu Xiongying was depressed. He couldn't throw away the nickname Rou Guaguai. The most important thing was that he still had a little baby fat. If he hadn't been exercising, Queen Ma would always feel that Zhu Xiongying didn't have enough to eat.

There’s no need to feel strange about a little fat guy coming out, Lao Zhu’s family can’t have a fat guy.

Lao Zhu remembered something and said to Zhu Xiongying, "It's okay for you to go see the Jinshi. If you want to go to see the trial, it's okay. If you have nothing to do, don't go to the imperial prison. What kind of good place is that?"

I'm just afraid that I won't be able to accept it, otherwise I might have to go to Caishikou!

Zhu Xiongying only dared to complain in his heart, because his love of running around has almost reached the limit of Lao Zhu. If Zhu Xiongying continues to run around, he may have to take back his right to leave the palace at will.<

/p>

"Grandpa, we are thinking that our body bones have grown up and it is time to learn to ride a horse." Zhu Xiongying said to Lao Zhu with a beaming eyebrow, "We were just thinking that since my grandfather and father are sitting in the court, if there is any disobedience, we will lead the army.

Flatten all directions!"

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Xiongying expectantly and asked, "Oh? Then where do you want to settle?"

Zhu Xiongying was silent for a moment and then said, "The north must be cleaned up. The remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty still have some strength. If they destroy their court in one fell swoop, it will only hurt their vitality. The north of the Ming Dynasty can have decades of peace."

."

Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao looked at each other, with indescribable satisfaction and pride in their eyes. Beiyuan could be regarded as a huge hidden danger in the Ming Dynasty. If it could be dealt with, it would be much safer, and Ming Dynasty could focus on governing people's livelihood.

.

Zhu Xiongying continued at this time, "It's not enough for the general to attack Huishan without spending any money on Naier. Besides, in the southwest, Fu Youde and others led 300,000 infantrymen. They should also attack Yuan Liang Wang and others.

It’s time to recover. There is also the Duan family in Dali. Yunnan and Guizhou should also recover and win the hearts of the people."

These are indeed the main directions of the Ming Dynasty's current military deployment. In addition to such major military operations, there are also some barbarian rebellions in some places, which are also some minor troubles.

Although the Ming Dynasty has been in existence for more than ten years, the war has never stopped.

Lao Zhu was in a good mood and said to Zhu Xiongying, "Just study hard and when you grow up a few years, we will make you a general!"

Empress Ma patted Lao Zhu and said displeasedly, "Chongba, don't talk nonsense. The heroes are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. Do you need him to conquer them personally? You didn't say anything, but he will keep it in mind. What will happen if there is a quarrel?"

?"

Lao Zhu was a little embarrassed, but he still said, "Why can't Xiongying lead the troops?"

"That's right!" Zhu Xiongying immediately defended Lao Zhu, also for his own treatment, "Our father is the foundation of the country, we are not!"

Empress Ma found it funny and said rudely, "This country will be yours from now on. How come you are not a citizen of the country? When you are ten years old, I will confer you the title of grandson of the emperor. By then you will not be a citizen of the country? Emperor."

What is this called when the grandson goes out to lead the troops to fight?"

Zhu Xiongying was anxious and urged Lao Zhu, "Grandpa, please tell me that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!"

The originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly solidified, and the next moment it turned into Zhu Hongwu chasing Zhu Xiongying angrily. Empress Ma didn't feel bad anymore, and urged Lao Zhu to catch his unfilial grandson, and she had to beat him several times.
