Chapter Seventy-Five—The Reckless Zhu Family

Zhu Biao found an official in a green robe in the ministry to ask for directions, he is a little bit of a look now, knowing that the official rank of the Ming Dynasty can be clearly distinguished by the color of the uniform, the green robe is a low-level official, and when he sees the royal family, he has to pay a big salute to the kind of officials, and the red robe and the purple robe are the higher-grade officials, especially the purple robe, only civil officials above the third rank can wear purple robes, and the third rank is not a feudal official but also a chief official, that is the big man who can fight in the court when he sees the four princes.

And the low-level officials in the green robe have two differences: those with a bright future and those with a "bright" future, and the first and second rank jinshi from the imperial examination also need to climb up from the bottom in the first few years, and of course they cannot be treated the same as other low-level officials. And there are many candidates who want to come in as a low-level official in the ministry, so even if it seems to be a small fish and shrimp, there may be various forces behind it, and one of them can't afford to offend.

These things are all the officialdom common sense that Zhu Biao has made up for in a few days, he wrote them down like swallowing dates, knowing that he doesn't know why, anyway, he knows that he has to be cautious, because he has now been branded as the fourth prince, and if something really happens, it is not only him who is unlucky, but also Zhu Di, who pushed him to the position of head of the department.

What does it mean to ride a tiger? What does it mean to force a smile? Zhu Biao's thoughts were tumbling along the way, and he didn't know if he hoped that he would pass or not, if he didn't pass the exam, maybe he would feel a little happy.

But then he should have worried about something else......

The green-robed official directly introduced Zhu Biao to the scene of the selection of the officials, in fact, it was the wing room where Yang Shilang received them last time, which was said to be the office of the heavenly officials of the Ministry of Officials, and there were two ear rooms next to the wings, and many officials waiting for the selection were queuing up in the ear room.

Zhu Biao thought he had come early, but when he pushed the door in, he found that there were even more early arrivals, both of whom were young officials in their twenties and eighteen years old, wearing green robes below the fifth grade, and their chests were not embroidered or printed with complicated textured graphics. Zhu Biao was stunned, the information he found on the Internet said that the official uniform pattern of the Ming officials was a bird, but the pattern on the chest of these two people was clearly a flower.

He couldn't help but open his eyes and look carefully, the wide-faced, big-eared official on the left seemed to be very honest, and there were small miscellaneous flowers on his official uniform; The official on the right has a pointed chin and a snake face, his face looks very mean, and the small miscellaneous flowers on the official uniform are slightly larger than the previous one, maybe an inch and a half long, with a green robe bottom, and the pastoral flavor is quite sour.

When the two young officials saw Zhu Biao pushing the door in, they had already stood up and wanted to salute, but who knew that he was staring at the public robe impolitely, and the one on the right was narrow, so he snorted unhappily, and finally woke Zhu Biao up.

Zhu Xiaodi came back to his senses, raised his eyes and looked at the two of them in a little panic, the one on the left was really good-tempered, and he hurriedly learned to return the salute, but the posture was very non-standard, it was rare to see him in the officialdom who didn't know anything, people didn't know if he really didn't understand, and thought he had a contemptuous attitude.

The one on the right snorted again, and didn't salute Zhu Biao anymore, he lifted the hem of his official robe and sat down by himself, the temperature began to cool down in the past few days, and the air in the ear room was ventilated on all sides, he put his hands into his sleeves, and simply turned his head away from Zhu Biao.

The one on the left looked at Zhu Biao a little embarrassed and smiled, afraid that he would be angry because of the provocation of his companions, but he saw Zhu Biao's face as usual, and he glanced at the other party with big eyes and turned back, because he was laughing, Zhu Biao also grinned back at him, smiling innocently and innocently, in other words, he had no heart and no lungs.

The young official on the left moved in his heart, vaguely grasped the essence of Zhu Biao, and the smile on his face became more and more honest, and said tentatively: "Student Tao Zhenmeng, since the words are written, haven't you asked Brother Taifu yet?" ”

In order to show that they are serious scholars, they sometimes deliberately do not call each other by official titles, but call themselves "students" and "brothers" to pursue the unique sense of superiority within the so-called elite. In a situation like theirs today, everyone is removing the old position to compete for the new position, and there is no need to apply for an official position or something for the time being, it is better to rely directly on the background of the imperial examination to get closer. Just like when college students go to the top 500 to apply for different positions, they can also use the experience of studying in the same prestigious school to make friends with future colleagues in advance before the interview, in fact, the same reason.

It's a pity that Zhu Biao is neither a college student nor a scholar from the imperial examination, he is just an ordinary student in the second year of high school, with middle and upper grades, addicted to online games, and naïve temperament.

Tao Zhen Meng Wen heard a few words so that Zhu Biao couldn't swallow his teeth, he originally wanted to learn to reply to two sentences, but he couldn't say it embarrassed after enduring it, so he had to clear his throat and said vaguely: "You...... Hello, my name is Zhu Biao. ”

The snake spirit on the right wanted to laugh at him for being rude, but when he heard the word "Zhu Biao", he suddenly turned his head and blurted out with Tao Zhenmeng.

"That Zhu Biao?"

"Zhu Biao of the Four Princes?"

Zhu Biao: "......"

…………

……

He didn't know long ago that "Zhu Biao" is also the elder brother of the Four Princes and the name of the current crown prince, so he is mentally prepared to be "looked at differently" by the officials after reporting his name, but what about "Zhu Biao of the Four Princes"? Hey, don't add possessives to people at random!

He stared at the two of them with a blank face, but the two of them changed their restraint and politeness just now, and even the snake spirit face was no longer cold and sneering, he slowly stood up, glanced at Tao Zhenmeng, and then turned to continue to look at Zhu Biao, his eyes were dark and difficult to see.

Tao Zhen Meng Gan laughed and said lightly: "An Zhong and I have both watched the video of Brother Zhu Ren fighting assassins on the Internet, and I have also heard that the fourth prince is very grateful to Brother Zhu Ren for saving his life......

"I'm so grateful that I can take Daming's official position as a gift and give it away," the snake spirit interjected with a weird face, "I'm so grateful that I let Bai Ding become a civil official, and he jumped to the fifth rank without the imperial examination, and I am still grinding in the sixth or seventh rank on the right path...... What a big deal! ”

These two finally stopped chewing words and were willing to speak human words, Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't feel unbearable to ridicule them in person, even he himself thought that the four princes were too generous and abused their privileges, and he should be stabbed a few times as a beneficiary.

He didn't know how to reply to eliminate the hostility between the two, so he had to smile, thinking to himself, the snake spirit face seemed to be called "Anzhong", but he didn't know what his surname was.

Zhu Biao refused to talk because he wanted to calm things down, but he didn't expect the snake spirit face to be endless, regardless of Tao Zhenmeng's persuasion, he continued angrily: "It's okay for the fourth prince to mess around alone, the officials didn't call his appointment back, what are they doing in the matter?" The bullets of the Imperial Historical Observatory are about to flood the Wenhua Palace, and the elders say that they will be deducted, and the Emperor Xià pretends not to do this, and the Senate also pretends to have no such thing, and the House of Representatives has put forward thirty-seven proposals to impeach the four princes, none of which can pass guò...... Hehe, where is this still a civilized society, I don't know if I still think that we are living in the dark era of feudal dynasties, the Ming Dynasty is still a family with a surname of private property, and it is the Ming Dynasty that the Zhu family can act wantonly and recklessly! ”

"Who said that the Zhu family could act recklessly in Daming?"

As soon as the angry words of the snake spirit disease fell, a somewhat familiar voice of Zhu Biao immediately asked, and the three young people in the ear room brushed their heads together, and through the half-open window, they saw a middle-aged man pacing in front and back.
