Chapter 291: Hongmen Banquet

After speaking, Zhang Wan and her husband Zhu Youzhu looked up and smiled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info They are really getting more and more interested in this Jiangnan officialdom.

"That's naturally as it should be, as it should be." When Lord Zhou heard this, he nodded again and again. Since these two princes are the people of His Royal Highness the Prince of the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also the Lord Qincha who is in charge of the scientific expedition of the Southern Autumn Palace appointed by His Majesty. This time, he encountered such a thing, and the other party took the initiative to ask again, because of reason, public and private, he should inform the person sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of this matter. So, after Lord Zhou sighed, he turned his head to look at the desk behind him, stretched out his hand and pointed to the thick stack of worship posts on the desk desk, and said with a wry smile.

"Two sons, please see. After the old man was appointed as the academic administrator of Jiangnan, he had only been in office for half a month, and he had already received no less than 100 greetings. These officials of various departments in Jiangnan, the old man has been an official in Jiangnan for decades, how have I ever seen them so enthusiastic about the old man's colleague. Now, where are they coming to visit the old man, it is clearly the right to visit the old man. But what is the power in the hands of the old man? It's a great thing to win people for the country. The old man has this right, how dare he go to the banquet easily. But the visit on the side is easy to shirk. But the Hongmen banquet of the Jinling prefect, the old man couldn't shirk it. The two sons don't know, in order to catch the wind and wash the dust for the old man, the prefect has sent someone to invite the old man for three consecutive days, if the old man doesn't go, I'm afraid that tomorrow to the old man's study to come to the uninvited guest will not be the two sons...... Therefore, in desperation, the old man promised the prefect at noon today that he would go to the banquet tonight. However, there is no good banquet, if the old man wants to go to this Hongmen banquet, there are some things, I am afraid that he will have to make a painful decision, so he ......"

Speaking of this, Lord Zhou looked at Zhu Youzhu and his wife with great shame, but shook his head and smiled bitterly. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came in time. Otherwise, I will really lose my footing and become a thousand years of hatred, and I will lose my temper.

When Zhu Youzhu and his wife heard this, their faces also sank. That Jinling prefect is such a great official! This person knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to tour south to Jinling, but he even invited this scholar so blatantly, it seems that the prefect of Jinling, who was picked up by Wan Guifei, is really very interesting. Hmph, it's a pity that I met the two of them at this time, so ...... Let's kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys, and use this prefect to explore the way first.

Zhu Youzhu and Zhang Wan exchanged a look, and soon paid attention. "Lord Zhou, although this is a Hongmen banquet without a good banquet, the younger generation thinks that Lord Zhou might as well relax his mind and go to eat and drink." Zhang Wan smiled faintly, but walked to Lord Zhou's side, smiled slightly, and said with a low smile. "Lord Zhou, tonight you went to the prefect's mansion, you only need to ...... In this way, relax and eat a banquet, that is. ā€

After finishing speaking, Zhang Wan smiled again and retreated to her husband Zhu Youzhang's side. Zhu Youzhu glanced at his wife with great appreciation, but he looked up at Lord Zhou and said, "Lord Zhou, you don't have to have any burden. Regarding tonight's banquet, my brothers and sisters will definitely report it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince truthfully, and they will not let you bear the stigma and lose the night. Zhu Youzhu knew that for these literati, fame was more than everything. Just now, isn't this old man just for the sake of his own reputation, brazenly fearless in front of the two of them, and going to die righteously?

After listening to the words of the two, Lord Zhou was a little relieved. If you do what this son said, he will naturally have no problem. However, if you can really agree to this matter because of this, what will be the consequences of leaking exam questions in the future......? Lord Zhou frowned, this consequence is not something that he can afford as a Jiangnan scholar. Not only can't I afford it, but even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't afford it. After all, if this matter breaks out in the future, it will inevitably arouse the anger of students all over the world, and when the time comes, in the midst of the verbal criticism of those literati and students, in order to calm down the people's anger, the position of His Royal Highness the Prince will probably be lost.

In fact, Lord Zhou also knew that if it weren't for this reason, why would this prefect, who was picked up by Concubine Wan Guifei, be so obsessed with himself? The prefect just wanted to use the Qiuyu test questions in his hand to get rid of the crown prince Zhu Youzhu in one fell swoop. After all, as everyone knows today, Wan Guifei of Guan Ju Palace already has a prince under her knees. For the sake of her own son, Wan Guifei's domineering temperament naturally can't allow the son of others to block her son's path.

Lord Zhou sighed silently, and finally nodded. Now, now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has known about this matter and is on guard against Jiangnan officialdom, he must have thought of some good way. In this case, as an honest person, he should just do it. As for the rest, he believed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely take care of it. After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also has a lot of talented people. Don't talk about the side, let's just say that the two people in front of them can touch the study of the government unconsciously, and they don't seem to be ordinary people.

Seeing that Lord Zhou agreed, Zhu Youzhu asked to understand the time when the other party went to the banquet, and saw that there was still almost an hour before this time, so his eyes narrowed slightly, and he remembered what he and his wife encountered when they were swimming in the lake this afternoon. It seems that some people not only have the idea of the autumn exam questions, but also the list of autumn exams.

The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, and these people's appetite is too big and too greedy. Aren't they afraid of dying of themselves? But that's okay, this time, I will take action by myself and put on a big show for them, so that these clowns who jump off the beam can toss enough on it...... Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhang's eyes also flashed.

Zhang Wan and her husband naturally have a good understanding. At this time, when she saw her husband's appearance, she knew that her husband Zhu Youzhu must have remembered that when the husband and wife were swimming in the lake this afternoon, the two scholars who took the initiative to talk to them came. Listening to the meaning of those two scholars, it seems that there are some ways in their hands to get the qualifications for this autumn scientific expedition.

Zhang Wan sighed slightly in her heart, knowing that her husband was angry and anxious at this time, and she was afraid that it would be difficult to speak, so she turned her head and smiled at Lord Zhou, and told the other party about today's events one by one. "Lord Zhou, don't you know, in fact, in Jinling City, there is another matter related to Qiuqiu. Now, my brother and I are hidden among the students of Mingdao Academy, but we don't want to ...... this afternoon."
