Chapter 930: The capital releases the results and rectifies the imperial court
Zhao Zixuan bowed slightly and replied calmly: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. I believe that special agencies can be set up to supervise industry and commerce and formulate reasonable tax policies to not only encourage the development of industry and commerce, but also protect the interests of farmers. At the same time, we should strengthen agricultural technology training and improve
Agricultural production efficiency and ensuring food self-sufficiency to stabilize the country's foundation."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded slightly, obviously quite satisfied with Zhao Zixuan's answer. He turned to Zhu Han and Zhu Biao to express their opinions. Zhu Han smiled slightly and said with approval: "Zhao Zixuan's opinion is both pragmatic and practical."
Those who have far-sightedness are actually talents that the country needs."
Zhu Biao also nodded in agreement: "Zhao Zixuan's policy balances the three aspects of agriculture, industry and commerce, which is really rare. I believe that we can focus on cultivating such insightful people to reserve strength for the country's future."
As the palace examination progressed, the tributes showed their talents, some focused on the construction of the legal system, while others emphasized the importance of cultural education.
Zhu Yuanzhang listened patiently and asked sharp questions from time to time to test the tributes' adaptability.
Zhu Han and Zhu Biao were observing carefully and carefully recording the performance of each tribute for subsequent comprehensive evaluation.
When the last tribute finished his statement, Zhu Yuanzhang looked around at everyone and said solemnly: "In today's palace examination, you all showed great talents and insights. However, the great plan of the country cannot be achieved by one person, but requires the concerted efforts of everyone.
Since you have passed all the tests, you should cherish this opportunity. When you become an official in the court in the future, you must work diligently and fulfill your responsibilities to live up to my expectations."
The palace examination lasted for a whole day, and every tribute scholar tried his best to show his knowledge and talent.
After the last tribute had retired, Zhu Yuanzhang looked around at the ministers and said solemnly: "I already have a good idea of today's palace examination. However, selecting talents is not a day's work and requires long-term observation and testing. Now that you have been selected,
You should be diligent and responsible and live up to my expectations."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Han and Zhu Biao quickly bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty is wise, and I, my ministers, must obey the holy precepts and live up to your Majesty's high expectations."
After the palace examination, Zhu Han and Zhu Biao walked out of the hall side by side, their hearts full of emotion. Zhu Han said softly to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, today's palace examination shows that our dynasty is full of talents and the future is promising."
Zhu Biao nodded, with hope shining in his eyes: "What Uncle Han Wang said is absolutely true. These young talents will surely become the solid pillars of our Ming Dynasty. Biao'er must learn with an open mind and contribute to the Ming Dynasty together with them."
"
The two were walking and talking, and unknowingly they had arrived at the palace gate. Zhu Han stopped, turned around and said to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, although the palace examination has ended, there is still a long way to go to select and train talents.
.You and I need to continue to work together to cultivate more talents for the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Biao nodded solemnly: "Uncle Han Wang's teachings, Biao'er will keep them in mind. Biao'er will definitely live up to his trust and devote himself to the Ming Dynasty."
The tributes all bowed and saluted, saying that they would live up to the divine grace and serve the country diligently. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and then announced the end of the palace examination, and would award the reward after the results were announced.
After exiting the main hall, Zhu Han and Zhu Biao walked side by side, full of expectations for the tributes in today's palace examination. Zhu Han said softly: "Your Highness, in today's palace examination, all the tributes performed well, which shows that our Ming Dynasty is full of talents.
"
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement: "What Uncle Han Wang said is absolutely true. These young talents will definitely inject new vitality into the Ming Dynasty. However, we still need to carefully consider how to select the most outstanding ones."
On the day when the results were released, there was excitement inside and outside the capital. People flocked to the imperial city one after another, looking forward to the announcement of the results of this year's imperial examination. Zhu Han and Zhu Biao also came to the gate of the imperial city early to prepare to witness this important moment.

"Uncle Hanwang, when the rankings are released today, which talents will stand out?" Zhu Biao asked softly, with curiosity about the results and longing for the future in his tone.
Zhu Han smiled slightly, patted Zhu Biao's shoulder, and said sincerely: "Your Highness, don't be impatient. We will know for ourselves when the results are released today. No matter what the result is, it is the result of many years of hard work by these scholars. We only need to uphold justice."
Just make sure the list is correct."
While he was talking, he saw the gate of the imperial city slowly opening, and a group of eunuchs holding yellow lists in their hands and walking steadily out. The crowd suddenly became excited and rushed forward, scrambling to see the list. Zhu Han and Zhu Biao also
Under the escort of the guards, he slowly approached the list.
Zhu Han glanced at the names on the list quickly, secretly calculating the knowledge and talents of these scholars. Zhu Biao looked even more nervous. He widened his eyes and carefully searched for the names he was familiar with, for fear of missing any detail.
.
"Look, that Li Mufeng is indeed at the top of the list!" Zhu Han pointed to the first name on the list and said to Zhu Biao. There was both approval and a bit of relief in his tone. Li Mufeng's performance in the palace examination was indeed
Outstanding, his insights are unique, profound and impressive.
Hearing this, Zhu Biao hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look, and sure enough he saw Li Mufeng's name listed. His face showed joy and he nodded repeatedly: "Li Mufeng is talented and deserves the title. I just don't know how the other talents performed?"
Zhu Han continued to scan the list and commented on the scholars on the list one by one: "That Zhao Zixuan is also good. His strategy balances the three aspects of agriculture, industry and commerce, which is really rare. And this Wang Siyuan, the article is clear and clear, and the insights
It is profound and cannot be underestimated.”
Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and deeply agreed with Zhu Han's comments.
Zhu Han had a unique vision, and his evaluation of these scholars was naturally very fair.

Selecting the talents who best suit the needs of the imperial court requires careful consideration by me."
Zhu Han smiled slightly and looked deeply: "What your Highness said is absolutely true. When selecting talents, we must not only look at their knowledge and talents, but also their moral character and ambition. We need to consider them comprehensively before we can select those who can truly be used by the imperial court.
people."
While they were talking, there was a sudden noise. Zhu Han and Zhu Biao looked out and saw a scholar in the crowd crying with joy and hugging his relatives and friends. Obviously, this scholar successfully made the list and realized what he had been doing for many years.
dream.
"Look, that's the joy of successfully getting on the exam." Zhu Han pointed to the scholar and said to Zhu Biao, "Although the road to the imperial examination is difficult, as long as you have a dream in your heart and persevere, you will eventually achieve success."
Zhu Biao nodded, with admiration and yearning shining in his eyes: "What Uncle Han Wang said is absolutely true. The road to the imperial examination is a single-plank bridge for scholars to exchange their talents and learning for their future. Those who can cross this bridge are those with perseverance."
People with perseverance. As the royal family, we should cherish this hard-won talent resource."
While the two were talking, a middle-aged scholar hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and came to Zhu Han and Zhu Biao. He bowed and saluted: "Your Highnesses, Wei Chen is one of the scholars listed in the imperial examination this time. Specially.
Come and thank the imperial court and the two of you for your fair selection."
Zhu Han smiled slightly, helped the scholar up and said, "You don't need to thank us two. This is the reward you deserve for years of hard study. When selecting talents, the imperial court only looks at talent, learning and moral character, regardless of origin. Since you have been on the list,
In the future, you need to work diligently and fulfill your responsibilities and contribute your own strength to the Ming Dynasty."
The scholar burst into tears with gratitude. After thanking him repeatedly, he turned around and left, continuing to immerse himself in the joy of success.
Zhu Han looked at the leaving figures of the scholars and said to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, seeing the vigor and enthusiasm of these young talents, I seem to see the hope of the future of the Ming Dynasty. We support the prince not only to stabilize the imperial power, but also to
In order for these young talents to have a stage to display their talents."
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement: "What Uncle Han Wang said is absolutely true. My father often said that those who get talents will win the world. We must open up talents in a wide range of ways and let the truly talented people be used by the Ming Dynasty."
While the two were talking, a eunuch hurriedly came over and bowed to report: "Your Highnesses, your Majesty has invited you. Please go to the Imperial Study Room to have an audience at once."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Han and Zhu Biao looked at each other, then straightened their clothes and followed the eunuch to the imperial study. In the imperial study, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting upright behind the dragon case, his expression solemn, as if he had something important to discuss.
"My son, I am here to see my father, Your Majesty." After Zhu Han and Zhu Biao saluted, they stood aside respectfully.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand slightly to signal the two of them to refrain from courtesy, looked at them deeply, and said slowly: "I have called you here because I have something to discuss with you. Recently, many officials in the DPRK and China have been slacking off and are not handling government affairs in a timely manner.
, there are widespread complaints among the people. I want to rectify the affairs of the court and revitalize the administration of officials. What good ideas do you two have?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Han pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, it is a top priority to rectify the imperial court and revitalize the administration of officials. I believe that we should first start with assessment and supervision, clarify the responsibilities of officials, establish a more stringent assessment mechanism, and severely punish those who neglect their duties.
No loans. At the same time, we will strengthen supervision to ensure that officials behave cleanly and do not dare to slack off at all."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and turned to Zhu Biao: "Biao'er, what do you think?"
Zhu Biao cupped his hands and replied: "Father, what Uncle Han Wang said is very true. I believe that in addition to assessment and supervision, we should also pay attention to the selection and training of officials. We should open up a wide range of talent paths and not stick to one pattern.
People should be promoted based on their family background. At the same time, education and training for officials should be strengthened to improve their administrative capabilities and moral standards."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the words, a glimmer of approval flashed in his eyes: "What you two have said is to the point. Rectifying the imperial court is not a day's work. It requires perseverance to be effective. Brother Han, Biao'er, I will leave this matter to you.
Everyone is jointly responsible and must do their best without making mistakes.”
Zhu Han and Zhu Biao promised in unison: "I will do my best to live up to your majesty's high expectations."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and continued: "There is another matter that you two need to pay attention to. I heard that there are people in the court who form cliques for personal gain and form cliques. This trend cannot last long. You two need to investigate in secret. Once you discover such behavior, report it immediately
, I will punish you severely and refuse to lend money."
Zhu Han and Zhu Biao looked at each other, and both saw firmness and determination in each other's eyes. Zhu Han cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will work closely with Biao'er to thoroughly investigate this matter, and never let the chaos between the DPRK and China be ruined.
The foundation of Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Biao also cupped his hands and said: "My nephew will do his best to assist Uncle Han and jointly safeguard the Qingming Dynasty."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand: "You two, please step aside and go handle this matter quickly. I look forward to good news from you."
Zhu Han and Zhu Biao bowed to leave. After exiting the imperial study, they walked side by side on the corridor with solemn expressions. Zhu Han said softly: "Your Highness, this matter is related to the stability of the court. We need to be careful and not to scare the snake."
Zhu Biao nodded and said: "What Uncle Han Wang said is absolutely true. We need to investigate secretly, collect evidence, and when the time is right, we will expose it in one fell swoop."
Zhu Han smiled slightly and patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder: "Your Highness has such determination, which is really a blessing for the Ming Dynasty. You and I, uncle and nephew, will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties together and contribute to the stability of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Han pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly: "Your Highness, although the matter of rectifying the imperial court is urgent, it requires more strategies. We need to start with those officials who usually act in a flamboyant manner and have a lot of public complaints, as a warning to others."
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement, with a look of determination between his brows: "What Uncle Han Wang said is absolutely true. My nephew thinks that we can first select a few models, conduct overt and covert investigations, collect conclusive evidence, and then capture them in one fell swoop to demonstrate the imperial court's ability to purge officials."
determination."
Zhu Han smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with approval: "Your Highness, this plan is very clever. However, we still need to be cautious and make sure that every step is legal and compliant, so as not to give others a thumbs up."
Zhu Biao nodded, and his tone became more firm: "Uncle Han, don't worry, my nephew will act with caution, not to disappoint his father, nor to let the treacherous people take advantage of him."
As the two of them talked, they had reached a fork in the road. Zhu Han stopped, turned around and said to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, you and I will have to work separately for the rest of the journey. I am responsible for starting from the Ministry of Accounts and verifying the officials' accounts and records.
Political performance; Your Highness can start from the staff department and examine whether the selection and appointment of officials are reasonable."
Zhu Biao bowed his hand and said, "Uncle Han, don't worry. My nephew will do his best and live up to his trust. If there is any progress, my nephew will communicate with Uncle Han in time."
Zhu Han returned the gift, his tone full of trust and expectation: "Okay, then let's say goodbye and work hard on our own. When the time is right, we will discuss the big plan together."
After that, the two parted ways, each heading towards their set goals.
After Zhu Han and Zhu Biao separated, they each devoted themselves to intense investigation work. Zhu Han first came to the household department, preparing to start with the accounts and uncover the secrets hidden behind the numbers.
In the lobby of the Household Department, Zhu Han was sitting in the main seat, with a mountain of account books spread out in front of him. His face was solemn, and his eyes were as bright as a torch, as he examined every expenditure and income one by one. At this time, an experienced head of the Household Department hurried away
He came in, bowed and said: "Your Highness, the detailed accounts you requested over the years have been sorted out. Please take a look at them."
Zhu Han nodded slightly and signaled the supervisor to hand over the account book. He took the account book and read it carefully page by page, frowning from time to time, obviously having doubts about certain accounts. After reading for a while, he raised his head and asked: "In these years,
,Why are there no clear explanations of the purpose of several large expenditures?"
