Another incident happened between the second prince and the third prince.

After the list of the imperial examinations was posted, the second prince and the third prince fought over the Jiangnan Salt Administration.

This made Emperor Taichu so angry.

He intended to punish the second and third princes severely, but before he could take action, the queen took off her hairpin and apologized, and almost knelt at the door of the Tai Chi Hall.

The imperial concubine acts spoiled and cheats.

One of these two women is his first wife, the woman that Emperor Taichu respects very much, and the other is the person he cares about in his heart. He is not easy to refute his face, so he can only grit his teeth and endure this matter, and he has to wipe the butts of the two unfilial sons.

Because of this, Emperor Taichu was better against King Su.

After all, now he can feel at ease and love, without any worries, and never cause trouble is the only son of King Su.

Emperor Taichu could only find some father-son family affection in King Su.

Although he is a high emperor, he is still very eager for the kind of family affection that his children surround him.

Maybe it was to suppress the second and third princes, or maybe it was to warn them.

Emperor Taichu did not appear during this palace examination, but asked King Su to preside over the palace examination for him, and even the palace examination papers were judged by King Su.

Emperor Taichu directly told King Su that the full power of this matter would be handed over to King Su, and he could judge him whatever he wanted.

Perhaps because of his own heart, Emperor Taichu also felt sorry for King Su, and felt that King Su had no power and no money. He was better when he was alive. If he disappeared, no matter which unfilial sons ascended the throne, they would have to suppress King Su, the elder brother, and King Su would probably have a hard time.

Emperor Taichu wanted to give King Su some power when he was alive, and also let him make some money, at least he would not have no money on hand in the future.

King Su actually understood the thoughts of Emperor Taichu.

When the palace examination was held, he really appeared in the Golden Palace openly.

Xiao Yuan was stunned for a while when he saw King Su.

When he climbed the city gate with King Su at Xizhimen and Wang Su, he thought this person was pretty good, and he was having a good chat with him. He wanted to become a pair of good friends, but he turned out to be the eldest prince?

However, Xiao Yuan has always been a big man, and he didn't feel scared or did not do anything. When the topic of the policy discussion came down, he began to hurry up and write articles.

Coincidentally, the topic this time was the issue of flood control that he and An Ning had discussed, and there was also border problems.

Xiao Yuan failed in other aspects, but he understood the problems that were caused by the border.

Xiao Yuan was very smart in business for his family and was really good at trading.

If he was doing business, he would definitely be more powerful than Mr. Xiao. Maybe he could really make a fortune and become the richest man in Dajing.

Therefore, Xiao Yuan’s problem in his mind can be solved by commerce.

He had also discussed this issue with An Ning, and An Ning also thought it was feasible. This was the safest and most bloodless method.

Xiao Yuan first wrote about the border troubles problem. He wrote a lot of things, mainly using commerce to slowly penetrate the enemy country, and ultimately restrain the other party's economy, forcing the enemy country to rely on Dajing to survive. In this way, he could solve the major problems that had been in trouble for more than a hundred years without a single soldier.

Later, Xiao Yuan wrote about how to treat floods.

In fact, Xiao Yuan's thoughts are also quite advanced. When he was in his teens, he followed Mr. Xiao to do business everywhere, and he also went to the edge of the Yellow River. He also knew why the Yellow River floods came.

He wrote two methods, one is to build a high embankment, narrow the river channel, and make the water flow faster, and use rapid water flow to rush the mud and sand into the sea.

Another type is to plant trees and forests on both sides of the Yellow River, or plant some forage, which is to prevent soil erosion and improve the living environment of the sky with loess.

Both methods are very novel and have never been mentioned before.

The current flood control in the Dajing Dynasty was like the ancient Dayu who controlled the flood, mainly focused on diversion and continuously widened the river channel.

But in this way, the water flow will slow down. Over time, the sedimentation of mud and sand will make the Yellow River bed higher and higher, gradually higher than the ground, and the diversion will happen frequently.

No one had ever thought of the narrow river channel proposed by Xiao Yuan before building a high embankment.

What else is planting trees, let alone afforestation.

King Su also walked downstairs while these tribute students answered the questions. When he walked beside Xiao Yuan, he happened to see Xiao Yuan write about the border problems, so he couldn't help but stop and want to see what Xiao Yuan was thinking.

This is fascinating.

When Xiao Yuan proposed a method to govern the Yellow River, King Su was even more amazed in his heart.

He originally said that Xiao Yuan was good at bragging, but now it seems that this person is indeed very talented.

When several scholars from the Hanlin Academy in the palace saw that King Su had been staying at Xiao Yuan for a long time, they all knew that King Su valued this tribute student. When they saw who this person was, he saw who he won five yuan in Huiyuan. I think he must have written some amazing articles that made King Su like.

They also thought that the articles written by Xiao Yuan would be magnificent.

But how could they know that King Su is different from other princes?

King Su had stayed at the border and even fought on the battlefield.

Although he is young and has a truly extraordinary knowledge, he will not care about your writing style, but will depend on whether you have proposed practical solutions.

In King Su's opinion, Xiao Yuanwencai was a little lacking, but the articles he wrote were simple and moving, and the methods proposed were practical. This is a great talent, a talent that the court really needed.

After the exam, the tribute students were led to the side hall to rest and wait for the marquis, while several Hanlin bachelors quickly put away the test papers of these tribute students and watched them one by one.

Of course, there is no need to miss the name here. Generally, the palace examinations will be read on the same day and the ranking will be announced on the same day.

Those Hanlin bachelors all knew that King Su valued Xiao Yuan, so they picked out his test papers first.

Then look at the test papers of other tribute students.

Soon, the top ten test papers were sent to King Su.

King Su looked at the test papers of nine other people, and then directly pointed Xiao Yuan's copy with a red pen: "I should be the top scholar."

Then, he ordered the test paper of a son of a Censorate's family as the second place, and the other was a very handsome tribute student from the Jiangnan Water Town, who was the only one who was left. He ignored the rest.

Of course, several Hanlin bachelors won't have any comments.

King Su took into account both this time, and there was nothing more reasonable than this. Who dared to say anything?

The Censorate was from Lu, an official of the Northern Party and a representative of Qingliu. He named his son as the second place, which means that the court favored Qingliu.

The Tanhualang was a descendant of the Southern Party official, but he was a nobleman.

Xiao Yuan was the one that King Su liked.

As a result, he took care of all the Southern and Northern Party and the Qingliu nobles, which means that everyone carries the flower sedan chairs and everyone divides the spoils together.

The tribute students rested for a while, and then someone came to sing the name.

Xiao Yuan won the No. 1 pick without surprise. He and Tanhua wore official robes provided by the court, wore red flowers on their heads, and began to parade on the streets.
