Chapter 204 Zhu Silang! Zhu Silang! Today Belongs to Zhu

Chapter 204 Zhu Silang! Zhu Silang! Today is Zhu Silang’s day!

The Governor's Mansion.

Li Wenzhong looked at the burly man in front of him, especially looking at the sword-shaped shoulder mark on his shoulder.

Don't say it.

The shoulder logo on a red background is paired with a touch of bright yellow. I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect or something else.

Even if there are only a hundred households standing in front of them, it gives people a majestic feeling.

Shiro is really Yunwen Yunwu.

He gathered his thoughts and then asked with a smile: "Your commander, apart from asking you to send you this periodic summary report on the shoulder mark, is there anything else you can do?"

"For example, what do you need from the imperial court and the Governor's Office to support you?"

Feng Sheng is so unreasonable.

He praised Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng for their good fighting skills to the court.

He also said that opportunities should be provided to young generals.

What's more, on the Daliao River front, active offensive generals like Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng are needed to open up the situation.

…

In short, a lot of efforts were made, and finally the five guard posts controlled by the imperial court along the Daliao River were divided and a guard was established.

Qiu Fuwei is the most unique among all the Ming Dynasty border guards.

From the map, it looks like a linear guard post on the front line.

There was little room for any strategic retreat.

His Majesty acquiesced to all this.

Maybe he wanted to train Qiu Fu.

After all, Qiu Fuwei is a nail driven into Liaodong. If he wants some people to feel pain, the nail itself needs to be hard enough.

Only Qiu Fuwei can take root firmly and survive.

The situation in Liaodong will change soon.

As the Grand Governor, I also understood His Majesty's intention, so I naturally wanted to help Qiu Fuwei as much as possible within the scope of my authority.

The sword-shaped shoulder mark on Tan Yuan's shoulder has changed from one bright yellow bar to two.

Apparently he was promoted to a hundred households.

Hearing this, Tan Yuan shook his head: "To the Commander-in-Chief, the commander has no other instructions except to ask his humble position to bring this piece of information back."

You can't tell this governor any other explanations!

If you talk about those things, you will lose your head!

He only learned about these things two months ago after going through many tests.

…

Li Wenzhong and Tan Yuan left the Governor's Mansion together.

Li Wenzhong took Qiu Fu's certificate and went straight to the palace.

Tan Yuan went to join Zhang Wu and Zhou Lang.

When Tan Yuan saw Zhou Lang, he glanced at Zhou Lang's shoulder and said with a smile: "The business is done. Your family is in Jiangning. You can still rush back today to show off."

"We are waiting here to publish the list tomorrow. After reading it, we will go to Jiangning to find you."

Zhou Lang turned his head, grinned, and reached out to touch the sword-style shoulder mark on his shoulder.

Although it is just a bar with a gold edge, a small flag shoulder mark.

But it also made him very satisfied.

This shoulder mark was not given to him because of his relationship with Mr. Zhu.

Of course, it is also related to Mr. Zhu.

After the commander took charge of the first guard, he formed a hundred ten-man scout teams.

The riding skills he learned from Mr. Zhu came in handy at this time.

Join the scout team as an ordinary soldier.

Then he frequently set out from Dongchang Fort to sneak into areas controlled by the Yuan Dynasty, spy on intelligence, and engage in raids and harassment. ‘6’ ‘9’ ‘s’ ‘h’ ‘u’ ‘x’ ‘.’ ‘c’ ‘o’ ‘m’

He was promoted to Xiaoqi based on merit.

Really, he killed more than fifty soldiers!

The only flaw is that the shoulder mark is not his.

I borrowed it from Pao Ze in the army when I came back.

Although he has been promoted to Xiaoqi, he still does not have the shoulder title.

Commanders do not dare to make their own bright yellow shoulder markings at will.

In order to borrow this little flag and shoulder mark, damn it, he paid three jars of wine!

But it’s worth it. My mother, wife and children will be happy when they see it.

As long as he returns to Jiangning, he will definitely become the most beautiful one in Jiangning!

‘Hey, I kind of miss Fatty Jiang. It would be great if Fatty Jiang was still in Jiangning. It would be really cool to walk around in front of Fatty Jiang with the shoulder tag. ’

Zhang Wu couldn't help laughing and poked Zhou Lang.

Only then did Zhou Lang come back to his senses. Seeing the corners of Tan Yuan's eyes twitching violently, he hurriedly grinned and said, "Baihu, I'm not going back. I also want to see if Mr. Zhu has passed the scholar examination for the first time. And, maybe he can On the day the list was announced, I met Mr. Zhu.”

"Take off the shoulder tags!" Tan Yuan ordered with an angry smile. When speaking, he took off his own shoulder tags first, "This bright yellow one is too conspicuous on the body. We will find an inn later and we can put on the military uniforms." Replace it too.”

When I came back this time, some things happened even under the guise of Zhou Lang.

It shouldn’t be too eye-catching.

At least, not in Jinling City!

Zhou Lang said reluctantly: "Hundred households, this is your Majesty's permission. Let us be famous and upright..."

Tan Yuan glared and pointed at Zhang Wu, "Zhang Wu has also been promoted to Xiaoqi, and he is not as cool as you!"

"I can't bear to part with it. I'll use three jars of wine to borrow it for a few days." Zhang Wu smiled very honestly.

Zhou Lang glared at Zhang Wu and reluctantly took off the shoulder tag.

…

royal palace.

Li Wenzhong stood at the door of the Imperial Study Room, listening to what was going on inside.

"Your Majesty, during this period, Zhu Silang has completed the spring planting and is building a pig house with the villagers of Tuqiao Village..."

‘Build a pig house? ’

Li Wenzhong couldn't help but smile and shake his head, whispering: "This fourth child is really addicted to being a farmer."

Snapped!

Zhu Yuanzhang threw the folder on the imperial case and frowned slightly: "Apart from that, what else are you doing?"

Jiang 𤩽 frowned slightly, thought hard, and added: "The other thing is that the Su family in Tuqiao Village is going to marry their daughter, and Zhu Silang was invited to be the master of ceremonies."

Zhu Yuanzhang's lips twitched fiercely.

Asshole, just for these trivial things.

They don't even pay attention to the results of the scholar examination.

Is it confidence?

Or don’t care at all!

What they care about, the fourth asshole doesn't care about.

As a parent, anyone who has such a rebellious son can understand how uncomfortable it is.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little tired, waved his hand and ordered: "We understand, you can go down."

…

Li Wenzhong tiptoed in. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang leaning on the chair, raising his head and closing his eyes, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Shiro didn't come back even after the imperial examination results were released.

He could understand how bad his uncle was feeling at the moment.

He suppressed a smile and said, "Your Majesty, Qiu Fu, the commander of the Liaodong Guard, has sent a phased summary report."

Hearing the sound, Zhu Yuanzhang sat upright and waved, "Bring it here, let's take a look!"

Li Wenzhong hurriedly handed the fold to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After Zhu Yuanzhang read it over and over again, he smiled with satisfaction, "We think Qiu Fu's suggestion that ordinary soldiers wear shoulder badges without bars and gold edges is a good idea."

"I think so too." Li Wenzhong agreed with a smile.

He had long concluded that His Majesty would definitely adopt any suggestion that was conducive to inspiring the loyalty of the soldiers.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhezi, thought for a moment, and said: "Qiu Fu is the commander of the guards now, and the three stripes are no longer appropriate."

"In addition to making shoulder badges that satisfy everyone in Qiu Fuwei, your Metropolitan Governor's Office will also discuss how to design the shoulder badges for higher-level generals."

"The officers and men under Qiu Fu's command must complete this matter before returning to Liaodong."

"I obey the decree!"

Seeing Li Wenzhong leave, Zhu Yuanzhang picked up Qiu Fu's book again, looked at it, a smile appeared on his lips, and said: "It's almost half a year. The first half of the year has been a good thing. If the fourth asshole can test us as a scholar again, Come back, that would be better.”

…

"Father, the leader of the ventriloquist incident is Zhu Silang."

In front of the sick bed.

Mrs. Lu, with her big belly, looked at Lu Ben, who was as skinny as a stick, with red eyes, and gritted his teeth.

Her father's life was finally snatched back from the hands of the King of Hell.

But even if this is the case, a good person will lose a lot of his life after going through all this.

Ahem...

Lu Ben became excited and coughed repeatedly.

Mrs. Lu hurriedly stood up, but Lu Ben raised his hand to stop him: "You can't die as a father. The child in your belly is the most important thing. Sit tight!"

After calming down a bit.

Lu Ben's saggy face was twitching, and two will-o'-the-wisps seemed to flicker in his deeply sunken eye sockets. He stared at Lu and gritted his teeth and asked, "How do you know?"

Many people in North Korea and China are investigating.

The Lu family is also investigating.

The circled area is getting smaller and smaller.

But it was never determined who this person was.

"A few days ago, the prince was in his daughter's bedroom and accidentally let something slip..." Although there were only father and daughter in the room, Lu's voice was very low, "The prince warned my daughter not to tell you..."

"Father understands, father understands." Lu Ben nodded.

After calming down for a long time, he released his hands that were tightly holding the sheets and said, "Go back and tell the prince that I will go to Peking in a few days."

"Father, your body..."

Lu Ben waved his hand, "If I hadn't waited for the results to be announced and witnessed Zhu Silang's failure, my father would have left for the north earlier."

The emperor has murderous intentions.

If you stay one more day, you may be in more danger.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was unhappy, he might think of what he did to the prince.

It is safer to go to Peking.

He wants to live! revenge!

Lu Ben looked at Mrs. Lu's belly and warned: "The child in your belly is your support, and it is also the support of our Lu family."

"If I can't avenge this shame and humiliation in my lifetime."

"After the crown prince ascends the throne, I will rely on him, the prince, to avenge me."

Lu's eyes turned red and she nodded.

Her son is definitely not destined to be emperor.

But after the crown prince ascends the throne, her son will become the prince!

It's enough to humiliate Zhu Silang, a common man!

She wanted Zhu Yongming and Zhu Qihua to see how their father was humiliated! Let Zhu Silang lose face in front of his children.

This is more satisfying than killing Zhu Silang.

How could the prince kill his own son for the sake of a brother?

At worst, it's just a lesson.

…

The next morning.

The day when the list of scholars is announced.

Morning ends.

The officials returned to the official room as quickly as possible.

"Go and wait outside Yingtianfu Yamen!"

"Let's see if Zhu Silang passes the exam!"

…

Almost all officials, upon returning to their official rooms, immediately dispatched their servants to go out of the palace to inquire about the news.

Ever since Lu Ben suffered fifty blows.

This college examination has become a taboo topic in the court.

Although everyone has been eagerly watching the progress of Yingtianfu's grading.

But no one asked for news.

Even the emperor, in order to avoid suspicion, was waiting for the day when the list would be published.

Almost the same as Baiguan.

After Zhu Yuanzhang went down to court, he went straight to Ma Xiuying's palace, stepped into the palace door with one foot, and couldn't wait to ask: "Have you sent someone out of the palace?"

Hearing the sound, Ma Xiuying walked out and said with an angry smile: "Sent, sent several times, I sent Mingxia out."

I heard someone was sent.

Zhu Yuanzhang simply turned around and walked outside the palace, standing outside the palace gate waiting, muttering in a low voice: "If you don't let us take a scholar, let's see how we can deal with you!"

...

Outside the Yingtianfu Yamen.

As soon as the sun rose, there were already a large crowd of people, and many people gathered.

A carriage stopped outside the crowd.

Lü Ben nodded to Lü Zhao.

Lü Zhao jumped off the carriage and squeezed into the crowd.

"Zhu Silang, such a difficult question, I don't believe you can pass the exam!" Lü Ben gritted his teeth and clenched his fists silently.

This is his only comfort.

After the results are announced, he will leave for Beiping immediately.

...

Mingxia, with a few young eunuchs, stood in the innermost circle, looking at Zhou Lang out of the corner of her eyes.

She felt that Zhou Lang looked a little familiar.

He looked especially like the young Zhou Shixian she had seen in Jiangning.

"Zhou Lang, there is a little girl staring at you." Tan Yuan nudged Zhou Lang with his shoulder, reminding him with a sour tone.

They are all middle-aged men.

Why does a little girl only stare at Zhou Lang?

Isn't he more heroic than Zhou Lang?

Zhou Lang glanced at Tan Yuan and smiled proudly, "I noticed it a long time ago. Old Tan is jealous, right?"

Squeak!

Tan Yuan was hit hard. Just as he was about to speak, the gate of the government office suddenly opened.

The noisy sound disappeared instantly, and everyone looked at the yamen runners who came out eagerly.

Under the gaze of thousands of eyes.

A team of yamen runners surrounded two clerks and walked out.

One clerk quickly smeared paste on the wall.

Another clerk unfolded a rolled red paper and pasted it on.

"Don't push!"

"Don't push behind!"

...

When the clerk posted the red list, the crowd behind him rushed forward eagerly.

"Mr. Zhu! I saw Mr. Zhu!" Zhou Lang's eyes widened, pointing to the first place on the list, and shouted excitedly: "Zhu Silang! Mr. Zhu's name, Mr. Zhu is the first place in the scholar list!"

Mingxia jumped up excitedly, glanced at Zhou Lang who was shouting, turned around and nodded to the people around her.

Several eunuchs guarded Mingxia and squeezed out of the crowd in the opposite direction.

Not far away.

Liao Miaoxian saw the words: "First place in the first class, Zhu Silang".

Smiling and turning around...

Xia Shimin smiled and nodded: "Brother Zhu is not only outstanding in character, but also in ability. Only by making friends with such people can you make progress..."

"Dad, Dad, look!" Xia Yuanji pointed at the red list and shouted happily.

The moment Liao Miaoxian turned her head, she covered her mouth with both hands, and a layer of mist covered her eyes.

Second place in the first class, Xia Shimin!

My husband finally passed the exam!

Xia Shimin's lips trembled, and he let out a long breath of turbid air that had been pent up for more than ten years, then smiled calmly and relaxedly, "Let's get ready and go to Tuqiao Village tomorrow to deliver books to Brother Zhu."

...

"First place in the first class, Zhu Silang!"

"Where is this Zhu Silang from Yingtian? How come I have never heard of him?"

...

Lü Ben sat in the carriage, listening to the surprised discussions coming from outside, clenched his fists tightly, and muttered: "Impossible, impossible..."

Wow!

The curtain was lifted from the outside.

Lü Zhao was panting and appeared embarrassed...

Lü Ben seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. His dry hands suddenly grabbed Lü Zhao's collar, suppressed his voice, and roared: "Zhu Silang didn't pass the exam, right? Right!"

Lü Zhao's lips twitched, lowered his head, and said with difficulty: "Father, Zhu Silang is the first place in the first class!"

Lü Ben was stunned for a moment.

The hand holding the collar slowly loosened.

The dark face turned pale in an instant, and then flushed strangely in an instant.

The throat rolled, and the person fell straight back, and the blood that had not been swallowed flowed from the corner of his lips...

Lü Zhao was frightened and rushed into the car, hugged Lu Ben, and roared at the driver: "Quick! Go back home!"

...

The palace.

Mingxia was supported by several eunuchs, panting, "I can't run anymore, you go and tell the queen that the prince passed the exam!"

If she had known, she would have taken a carriage.

The eunuch left.

When Mingxia was resting on the side of the road.

A group of petty officials passed by her at lightning speed without even noticing her. .

"Zhu Silang passed the exam!"

"Zhu Silang ranked first in the first class!"

"Zhu Silang!"

"Today will be remembered in history books!"

"Today is Zhu Silang's day!"

...

Mingxia couldn't help laughing when she heard the clerks' horrified mutterings, "Your Highness has passed the first class in the exam. I'm afraid all the nobles will be shocked."

"If the emperor knows, he will probably take the queen to tell the good news to the ancestors as soon as possible."

Thinking about it, Mingxia suddenly felt strong again.

She smiled and walked quickly towards Kunning Palace.

She agreed with what a clerk said: Today is Zhu Silang's day!

...

Zhu Di passed the exam and ranked first in the first class.

After hearing the news, Lü Ben had vomited blood and fainted.

And this news was spreading to all parts of the palace...

Seeking monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.
