I have to say that being good-looking is very useful. The so-called first impression is often the appearance. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang is very handsome, otherwise how could Queen Ma be attracted to it? As for the portrait of the big chin that I got from somewhere, it was simply a waste of the Qing Dynasty. It has beautiful eyebrows, strong face, tall and upright appearance, and Queen Ma fell in love at first sight. She was the old Zhu when she was young.

But Lao Zhu also had to admit that the person in front of him was much better than he was back then.

He has a slender figure, handsome facial features, calm demeanor, and strong self-confidence. Perhaps this is what is called having poetry and books in the belly! From the end of the exam, he passed the test all the way and failed without any mistakes. He is definitely qualified to be proud.

When Lao Zhu looked at Xu Guan's appearance, a smiling boy's face suddenly flashed in front of his eyes!

It's that damn brat!

As long as they don’t grow old, in a few years, Liu Chun will definitely be much better than Xu Guan. Both of them have strong self-confidence, but their self-confidence is different.

Liu Chun is the kind of unscrupulous person who despises everything, even the emperor and the prince dares to dig a pit and set a trap.

As for Xu Guan, he is absolutely proud. Throughout history, from the day of the imperial examination, his achievements have been unprecedented. As for whether there are any visitors to come, it is hard to say.

However, while being confident, Xu Guan still lacks a little calmness and has no way to rely on others' roofs, marry into someone else's house and change his surname. If his ancestors cannot recognize him, he will be discriminated against by rolling his eyes, it feels really bad!

Maybe there will be a result today!

"Xu Guan, after reading your article, you advocate garrisoning troops on the frontier, fighting and defending. I appreciate it very much. But some people say that garrisoning troops on the frontier is huge and the gain is not worth the cost. What are your reasons for this?"

"I have no excuse!"

“Why?”

"Your Majesty, I don't need to justify this matter at all. The facts are there, so why waste spitting!"

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled, "The tone is a little arrogant, but it makes sense. Do you think Daning is doing a good job?"

"That's right!" Xu Guan said loudly: "Daning's farming farms, soybeans and rapeseed planted in the south of the Yangtze River. In the Beijing city, there are many fur shops in Daning, selling sheepskin, wolfskin, and fox skins. Those who say that garrisoning troops on the gates will cost immeasurable. As long as you walk a little, you should know that they are working behind closed doors and complacent!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled again and said, "What you said is reasonable, but it is not entirely complete. The Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties used to station heavy troops on the border. When the country was prosperous, although Yang Wei was outside the border, if the country's power declined, it would inevitably be lost again. What explanation would you give?"

"Your Majesty, I still say the same thing. This is all ignorant. I have been fortunate to participate in the thirst birthday celebration. I have seen it with my own eyes. Therefore, the Emperor Yuan brought his subordinates to meet the emperor. He also sent many gifts. Among them were war horses, farm tools, the grain they planted, and the threads they spun. I think that this is the difference between our Ming Dynasty and the Han and Tang Dynasties! Your Majesty appointed talented people and made drastic moves to change the customs of barbarians and turn them into Xia. If this continues, in the border areas, the power of the court is getting stronger and stronger, and the barbarians are getting weaker and weaker, and the other is getting worse. Do you still care about some barbarians?"

Xu Guan paused and said, "Your Majesty, I think there is not no problem with the current nine borders. The barrier lies in the heavy burden on military households. I think that the court can appropriately reduce taxes and make the border people live a more stable and prosperous life. At that time, the Ming Dynasty will naturally be as solid as a god."

Xu Guan's voice was very nice, with the ups and downs and rhythm, which made Zhu Yuanzhang quite happy.

"I'm right, I'm not a nerd if I say something. I'm not a nerd! I'd like to ask you, what do you think about moving the capital?"

The key is here!

Xu Guan had known for a long time that this question was related to life, death, honor and disgrace, and there must be no mistakes. He remained silent, and Zhu Yuanzhang waited with a smile, full of patience.

After almost half a minute passed, Xu Guan slowly said: "Your Majesty, this palace examination is based on border defense as a strategic question, so I will solve the question from border defense. Jinling faces east and south, all of them are the sea, with only a few Japanese pirates, which cannot threaten the security of the court. The main threat of our Ming Dynasty comes from the northwest, followed by the southwest. The capital is thousands of miles away from the northwest, and it takes time to travel. Once war breaks out, it will cost a lot to dispatch troops, horses, food and grass from Jiangnan, and it is easy to miss the opportunity."

Speaking of this, Xu Guan raised his head and faced Lao Zhu's gaze. He said loudly: "So... I think that the capital should be placed in the Central Plains, and the heavy troops in the northwest should be placed in the northwest, and the Hexi Corridor should be opened as soon as possible to restore the Western Regions! Only by recovering the Western Regions can the security of the Northwest have a barrier, and the northwest is as stable as Mount Tai, and can it be the imperial capital of thousands of years, bless me with the Ming Dynasty and prosper forever!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's hand holding the test paper suddenly released, and Xu Guan's article slowly floated to the ground. Old Zhu didn't care about picking it up, so he stood up and laughed and said, "Okay, that's right!"

"You reminded me again that not only should I move the capital, but I also need to use troops to recover the northwest, and send troops to send troops as soon as possible to completely wipe out the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Open up the Hexi Corridor and march into the Western Regions. How can a gentleman stay in the Central Plains if he does not set up a dangerous wall and does not take it back to the Western Regions?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with the fact that there were almost no one who could hide what happened in the capital than His Majesty the Emperor.

It is widely rumored on the market that Xu Guan is the Wenqu star, the leader of the sixth yuan, and the literary talent of Jiangnan are all added to him. As long as this talented man enters the court, he will definitely be able to assist the king and father, speak up for justice, and with him, he will be afraid of nothing.

Lao Zhu is not a fool, why can't he hear it?

These grandsons want to recommend Xu Guan to fight with me!

Lao Zhu didn't care about six yuan or six yuan at all. The last one yuan was in my hands. If you said you wouldn't give it, you wouldn't give it. Who would dare to force me?

Lao Zhu made up his mind.

If Xu Guan's handwriting was not too beautiful, Lao Zhu would not even want to read it.

But after reading the article, he couldn't help but read this person!

Lao Zhu originally thought that as long as Xu Guan didn't understandably opposed moving the capital, he would give him a gift of Tanhua.

But who knew that Xu Guan not only supported the capital moving, but also put forward important suggestions, which made Lao Zhu feel excited!

It seems that the rumors on the market may not be true, or in other words, some people have ulterior motives and deliberately spread rumors.

It’s really despicable to just play with some incompetent methods!

Old Zhu was so excited that he actually walked down from Danji, came to Xu Guan, and said directly: "Have you heard people talk about moving the capital? What did you think?"

Xu Guan hurriedly said, "I have indeed heard from many people that I think moving is a major event. Your Majesty thought it was a long time to put it out. Naturally, everything is ready, but I am not in the east wind. As a minister, I should pick up the rest and make up for the loss and complete the great cause of moving the capital for Your Majesty. This is the duty of the minister!"

"good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled again and said, "But some people say that we should dissuade me, not let me do whatever I want, and not move the capital at will. What do you think?"

Xu Guan's forehead was sweating. He deduced it dozens of times in his heart, but when he really faced Lao Zhu, he felt that no plan was useful.

"Your Majesty, if there is sufficient reason and can convince Your Majesty, you can naturally write a letter to talk about things. The court has a censor and a general secretary. I think that if it cannot be done correctly, it will not be a formal discussion!"

It cannot be done properly, it is not a formal discussion!

Old Zhu was very happy, said it well, said it too well!

"Since it's not a true opinion, I don't have to care!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with satisfaction: "Xu Guanzhi's talent and knowledge, I am quite pleased. You are the top scorer in the undergraduate degree. By the way, do you have any other requirements? I heard that your family is inconvenient..."

Xu Guan never expected that Zhu Yuanzhang actually took the initiative to raise it, with tears in his eyes.

"I am telling Your Majesty that my father married into the Xu family in his early years. I have been grateful to the Xu family since I was young. I beg you to give me a archway to commend your family for your merits in educating the village!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, "It's gone?"

"It's gone! This is my wish!" After saying that, Xu Guan pestled with his head.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the young man in front of him and suddenly burst into laughter, "Okay, I not only want to give the Xu family a arch, but also a inscription! It will be placed in the Imperial College, so that the world's talents will be seen, 'Three Yuans are there, and six heads are not in the world', and I am very relieved to have many talents in the Ming Dynasty!"

...

"That Xu Guan... is wrong, it should be called Huang Guan!" Xu Zengshou said, "He is so smart. He asked for a archway for the Xu family. In name, he was grateful for the kindness of ethics, but in fact he told the world that he was not from the Xu family, but he was unable to say anything. If the Xu family knew each other, he should immediately allow Huang Guan to restore his original surname. If he still stopped this matter, he would only be scolded by the world." Xu Zengshou tilted his head and said curiously: "You can't tell him such an immoral method, right?"

Liu Chun knocked on the table and said unhappily: "Please pay attention to your lyrics. Also, he has six great songs, but he has less bad water than me? I can teach you this method? You are too underestimated by Wenquxing's descending to earth."

Xu Zengshou didn't care about Liu Chun's reminder. Anyway, Suzhou's industries are in my arms, and you, Liu Chun, are useless. Moreover, depending on your boy and my sister's intentions, maybe you ask me!

Recognize you as your elder brother?

It doesn't exist!

You kid will call me fourth brother sooner or later!

Xu Zengshou became more and more exaggerated. He even looked down on Liu Chun, so how could he care about Huang Dazhao?

"What six songs? What literary star?" Xu Zengshou said with a smile: "Do you know, this year's new Jinshi gathered together to sing and talk, but he didn't invite Huang Guan!"

"How could it be?" Liu Chun was puzzled, "He is the top scholar, who would he invite if he didn't ask him?"

"Hahaha!" Xu Zengshou laughed, "Someone said that they didn't know whether to write Huang Guan or Xu Guan on the invitation. One person can't send two invitations, so it's all right!"

"absurd!"

Liu Chun was so angry that he slapped the table and stood up suddenly. Huang Guan’s affairs were indeed a bit complicated. His father had to marry into a married woman in his early years, so he had to remember this kindness. But the Xu family did have the problem of rude discrimination. Now that Huang Guan wanted a archway, it was equivalent to giving the Xu family the supreme honor and raising her kindness, and it also repaying a lot. Everyone got together and parted, which was also a good story.

Why are some people chasing each other?
