The autumn is clear and the sun is still shining brightly, but it is not very hot anymore.

Zhu Di sat on the chair, watching his grandson sweating heavily while practicing riding horses and archery, so his eyes were gentle and the smile on his face finally looked like an ordinary grandfather should have.

He said to the dog beside him: "Zhanji is like me."

The dog dared not go back.

How dare you reply to this? No matter how you answer, you unintentionally expressed your views on the future crown prince.

Zhu Di smiled and took a sip of tea, and asked casually: "Sanbao responded to it?"

The dog hurriedly said, "I'm back, I'll set off yesterday."

Zhu Di asked again: "Where is the young master."

Gou'er said again: "I'm back too. I set off yesterday and went with Zheng Dajian. Your Majesty should know that Zheng Dajian was appointed Master Yao as his teacher at Yingtian time. The two of them responded to Tiantian together and could also discuss Buddhist principles."

Zhu Di sneered.

Buddha?

There are many things to destroy Buddha in history. Whether Buddha or Taoism depends on the needs of the emperor.

The emperor's power is above Buddhism and Taoism.

So he said again: "Please go to draw an order and deliver it to Yingtian, and let the boss blame someone to find the immortal way Zhang Sanfeng. After the candidate for the person in charge is determined, let him come to Shuntian first."

This person has to choose a trustworthy confidant.

The dog hurried down to promulgate the decree, and returned after a while and continued to serve the emperor.

Master Gou'er's position among eunuchs is no less than Zheng Dajian. Of course, in Zhu Di's eyes, Zheng He is far more important than Gou'er, but the people below don't think so.

After being salty in Shuntian for a long time, Zhu Di found that his life was very leisurely. The northern part of Mobei was very quiet recently. After a war, Tatar Alutai thought that he had the idea of ​​coming to the Ming Dynasty to rob food and grass for the winter before the beginning of winter, and was ready to move on the border.

However, he was afraid that Zhu Di was still following the sky, so he never dared.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Di did not respond to the sky.

This is one of the reasons.

There is another main reason. Compared with Yingtian, Zhu Di still prefers Shuntian.

Zhu Di was in a good mood, and the eunuchs below and the officials of Shuntian also had a relaxed life. Therefore, Gouer gained a lot of weight during this period, and of course, he made a lot of money.

The key is that Shuntian is better than Yingtian because it is not restricted by the palace, so it is much more convenient for dogs to go out.

The money you earn can be spent.

Gou'er had already planned to buy a piece of land near the new palace of Shuntian Mansion and build a house. When he was old, he could not serve His Majesty, so he left the palace to take care of his old age.

This is not his wishful thinking.

It was Zhu Di'en who approved it.

Speaking of which, Zhu Di reminded him of the purchase of that piece of land, so the dog was grateful.

Zhu Di suddenly asked Dog'er in a daze, "Do you think Dusk is a member of the Ming Cult?"

The dog was shocked.

After thinking for a while, "I dared to ask Your Majesty not to sue you. I believe that Commander Huang has no real motivation to become a Ming Cult. Your Majesty has ambitions for thousands of years, but when I see Commander Huang, I also have the intention to plan for Your Majesty's ambitions. For family and country, Commander Huang will not secretly surrender."

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, "Did you take him the benefits?"

The dog hurriedly knelt down.

Zhu Di was happy, "Get up and chatting, and kneel down at any time, making him feel in a mess."

The dog complains in his heart.

After kneeling down, you are in a bad mood, so it will be bad if I don’t kneel down.

He stood up, "I dare not deceive Your Majesty. I really like Commander Huang very much. He is a smart person, and I also know that Commander Huang has a good relationship with me, but I only value my servant as your close servant. But I understand one thing. Commander Huang wants to do is what Your Majesty wants to do, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. From this point, even if someone says he is colluding with foreign ministers, I will not refuse."

The dog is very good at talking.

Zhu Di felt a little relieved when he said this.

He immediately sighed secretly, "Dog, you are still young. As long as you don't make mistakes and do things more cleverly, you will become the leader of the eunuch like the Three Treasures in the future. When I was old, dusk might have become the pillar of the tripod. If I said, I mean, if there would be a war between me and dusk at that time, how would you deal with it?"

Gou'er was surprised and puzzled, but he replied: "I don't want to be the leader of the eunuch like Zheng Dajian. I will be by Your Majesty for this life and serve you forever."

Zhu Di laughed and scolded, "You are so stingy, you still want to learn from that king, and you will live for thousands of years."

The dog knelt down again.

Zhu Di was also overjoyed: "All right, get up, just joke, people, how can they never die? Look at the kings in history who have been seeking immortality, and they will eventually go downstairs."

The dog knelt on the ground, "Long live your Majesty."

Zhu Di sighed.

Where is it possible?

Looking at Zhu Zhanji, the grandson on the school ground, Zhu Di had a gentle look, but had murderous intent. "Are you very curious? Why do I say that there is a war between the next day and the dusk? It's actually normal. I guess I know it well. I, after all, I still have to pave the way for my descendants. I can't let the Zhu family become his puppet of the dusk."

So before I, Zhu Di, die first at dusk.

But this does not prevent you from becoming my most trusted minister at dusk.

The dog was so scared that he didn't dare to let out.

How dare you speak?

Zhu Di slowly stood up, "So this time the Three Divisions will be held for the case of Zhao Xi's death and the case of Yue Quan of the Nanzhen Fushi, I will not post it. I just want to remind Xue Yan, Zheng Ci and Chen Ying, the Three Divisions will be held back for me and I cannot let the dusk participate in the autumn examination."

He also said: "Only only Xue Yan can understand my thoughts."

Gou'er was puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Since Your Majesty wants to use dusk more, why don't he let him participate in the imperial examination?"

Zhu Di laughed, "If he was allowed to pass the first and second grades, and then he was at a high position and his disciples were all over the court, how could I deal with him at that time? Isn't this causing trouble for myself?"

If you have fame and power, you will naturally gather scholars.

Therefore, he can give Xun a gift to be a Jinshi. His future career can also be an important official in the Pillar of the Ding Kingdom, but he must not be both a pillar of the Ding Kingdom and a Jinshi in the Imperial Examination.

This will be an extremely huge glory point for dusk, enough to allow him to gather his reputation and popularity to compete with the king.

But this is not Zhu Di's real purpose.

The reason why he was not allowed to participate in the imperial examination at dusk was because of an ambition in his heart: he wanted to set a model of becoming the leader of all officials without the imperial examination, so as to attack the already weak gentry in the Ming Dynasty through various later operations and strengthen the imperial power. To be more broad, it would be a broader and smooth road for the poor families in the world.

No one understands this idea.

Because the superstructure always stubbornly believed that the king's Tian family was just the spokesperson for the interests of the gentry, but Zhu Di did not want to do so. He wanted to get rid of the shadow of the gentry and truly control the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, most outstanding kings of all dynasties had this idea, so Emperor Wen of Sui abolished the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system, and the family declined by the Tang Dynasty. Even so, the Tang Dynasty still had a Qinghe Cui family. It should be noted that during the Tang Dynasty, the Cui family of Qinghe produced more than 20 prime ministers!

How terrifying.

It was not until the Song and Yuan dynasties that the aristocratic families were almost extinct.

However, the gentry still had some influence in the Ming Dynasty, and what Zhu Di wanted to do was to cut off the relationship between the gentry and the gentry, and then reform the imperial examination system to achieve the goal of selecting people and being talented.

Origin is no longer the threshold for talented men in the world to enter the career of officialdom. Of course, books still have to be read, but Zhu Di believes that Xun will come up with a plan just like suggesting the establishment of a cabinet, so that everyone in the world will still have books to read without relying on the aristocratic family.

Dusk was Zhu Di's bet chosen.

Therefore, he never lets him start with the imperial examination, and then proceeds step by step, and finally achieves this ambitious goal under the guidance of dusk.

The dog thought he understood.

He sighed secretly, Commander Huang, you are lucky. When you took the route of a talisman, you were not burned by His Majesty. You are lucky. You met our Emperor Yongle.

Zhu Di came to the school ground and followed Zhu Zhanji from the horse's back. He smiled and took the long bow from his hand, put the arrow on the target fifty steps away, shot an arrow.

Hit the bull's-eye.

Zhu Zhanji clapped and laughed, Grandpa Huang was good at archery skills.

Zhu Di held Zhu Zhanji's hand with a smile, "It's time to rest. Practicing riding and archery on horseback is a process that accumulates over time. There is no shortcut to go. Don't worry, our grandfather and grandson will celebrate the New Year in Shuntian this year, and there is time for you to practice."

The dog followed behind him and looked at this scene, feeling sad.

envious.

Unfortunately, I will never enjoy this kind of happiness in my life.

Zhu Di suddenly turned around and said to Dog'er: "Saihazhi said that he would place Soqiuna in the dusk mansion. How is the situation now? Take someone to send a secret letter. Zhi and the boss, let him keep a close eye on me. No one should touch her!"

Soqiuna...the goddess of the Western Regions.

Royal Timur.
