"Your Highness, Your Royal Highness the Prince," the little eunuch's voice was remembered in the East Palace, although it was not loud, but it was definitely able to make the people who heard it look sideways, but there was nothing strange here, it seemed that the people here were used to it.

Longqing three years, this year just tried in the palace, the imperial court has produced a new batch of jinshi, of course, this kind of thing is not strange, maybe for those people and scholars, three years and three years, what I see is just the appearance of a few people around me who enter Beijing to catch the exam, but here, everything I see is the "elite" selected by the whole country, so it is not a big deal.

And called His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is the only son of the current Longqing Emperor Zhu Zaiyuan, Zhu Yijun, who is only seven years old now, Zhu Yijun is definitely well-behaved in front of Emperor Longqing and Empress Chen, as well as his mother, he is definitely well-behaved, studies carefully, and pays attention to etiquette, but when it comes to private time, he has changed his appearance, naughty very, for this, Emperor Longqing naturally understands, but he doesn't want to be controlled, so this also makes Zhu Yijun more indulgent.

"You, you hurry up," looking at a tree that was not too tall, Zhu Yijun said with full momentum to the little eunuch who was standing under the tree trembling a little, "Hurry up, if that bird flies, see what I do...... How...... Anyway, hurry up and help me catch it, or I'll let people use the board," seemed to be really angry, Zhu Yijun's pink little face was red now, although it was autumn at this time, but there were also some beads of sweat on his forehead, obviously, his heart was very impetuous now.

"Yes...... But His Royal Highness ...... "The little eunuch had a bitter gourd face, and he was almost about to cry," the slave maid ...... The slave is really ...... I really can't climb trees, just in case...... In case you fall......"

"You can't climb trees, then I can't care," Zhu Yijun said with a completely non-negotiable expression, "It's so useless, if you fall down and die, that's just right, save you from letting this useless thing wander around me, and I'm upset to look at it,"

Here, Zhu Yijun was acting majesticly to a little eunuch, and over there, another little eunuch came over: "Your Highness, Your Highness, it's a big deal,"

"Big deal," Zhu Yijun couldn't help frowning when he heard the wind, and asked, "What's so panicked, this is the Prince's East Palace, how can Rong Er and the others be so presumptuous, and it's a big deal, I don't know if Mount Tai collapses in front of him and his face doesn't change, what's the matter, what happened to him, could it be that the Tartars came over,"

"No, no, no, it's not this kind of thing," the little eunuch who came forward really didn't expect Zhu Yijun to say such a somewhat "rebellious" remark, with a deflated expression on his face, and then said, "The palace test is over just now,"

"This kind of thing," Zhu Yijun said very boredly after hearing this, "What's the fuss about this, isn't there every three years, two years ago was my father's new name, so there are a lot more people in the imperial examination, but at most, there are just a few more jinshi in the palace examination, how can it be called a big deal,"

"Your Highness doesn't know anything," said the eunuch, "this year is different, there is a champion,"

"Nonsense," Zhu Yijun scolded before he could finish speaking, "How is this different, there is no champion at any time, if you say this again, I will immediately have someone beat you out,"

"What the prince said is," the eunuch was not in a hurry, and continued, "It's just that this year is different, this champion Lang, it's nothing at a young age, but the other country test, the meeting test, and the palace test are all the first place, this is even the third yuan, since the merchant of the year, this is the second place of our Ming Dynasty,"

"What second," Hearing this, Zhu Yijun was a little unhappy, his face was unhappy, and said, "During the Taizu period, there was still a Huang Guan, how could this be the second, and the third is,"

"This ......" Hearing Zhu Yijun say this, the little eunuch was suddenly speechless, that Huang Guan was completely blocked by Zhu Di, and from then on, there was only one Ming Dynasty until Zhang Fan Lianzhong Sanyuan, and no one dared to mention Huang Guan, of course, Zhu Yijun naturally did not have this scruples, after all, even Jiajing and Longqing had mentioned this person, after all, they were both emperors and princes, and they were all royal people.

"But then again," Zhu Yijun didn't seem to want to embarrass the little eunuch too much in this matter, and continued, "Even if it is, at most, there is only a champion of the three yuan in the company, and this kind of person, most of them are the kind of dead brains who can only read, and they don't know how to be flexible, but it's not a good thing to talk about,"

"This ......" The little eunuch's face became even more ugly when he heard Zhu Yijun say this, but immediately, he also planned to reveal this matter, and continued, "The slave maid heard Xiao Shunzi in the palace today say that His Majesty has decided to let this new champion come to teach the prince to read,"

"What," Zhu Yijun was a little surprised when he heard the news, and after being surprised, he began to figure it out again, "How could my father be like this," in the eyes of others, there is nothing that he can't figure out, after all, the new champion Lang, although he has not officially entered the official career, but there is one point, his knowledge is definitely enough.

But in Zhu Yijun's view, this is absolutely unreasonable, after all, Zhu Yijun understands that his father is not a feudal emperor, but very enlightened, and the same is true for his education, unless it is those ministers who have seniority in the court, Longqing will never send a newcomer who is not clear to teach him.

"What kind of person is this champion, can you find out," Zhu Yijun asked.

"The slave knows a little," since the little eunuch came here to tell Zhu Yijun about this matter, he naturally inquired in advance, "I heard that this champion is only in his early years, and the reason why His Majesty took a fancy to him at the beginning was also because of the article at the time of the examination, it is said that it was mentioned by Lord Zhang of the cabinet,"

"Oh, let Mr. Zhang mention something," Zhu Yijun heard that Zhang Juzheng nominated him, and a lot of interest rose in his heart, "What does the champion have to do with Mr. Zhang?"

"I haven't heard of this slave," the eunuch said, "although they are all surnamed Zhang, but they are not relatives, Lord Zhang will take a fancy to him, just because of his article, and after the palace examination, the cabinet Xu Ge Lao did not recommend him, but the article when he took the palace examination was favored by His Majesty, after all, the article of the palace examination was the problem of His Majesty, I heard that the article he wrote, it can be regarded as written in His Majesty's heart, this time, His Majesty also ignored Xu Ge Lao's opposition, insisted on mentioning this Zhu Pen, and approved him as the first champion,"

"Oh," Zhu Yijun heard this, and became even more interested, "I can make my father not listen to a single thing about Xu Ge Lao, it seems that this champion is a little interesting, and it may not be so boring in the future,"

"Yes, yes," the little eunuch echoed Zhu Yijun's words and said, "This champion lang slave has also seen it from a distance, she is young, and she is also very handsome,"

"you," Zhu Yijun didn't wait for him to finish, he smiled and scolded, "You eunuchs, why do you care about these all day long," Obviously, although Zhu Yijun is not very old, but in the palace, these things are also understood, besides, he has such a father, sometimes when he goes to the Qianqing Palace in the morning to ask for peace, he will inadvertently see some things that are not what he should see at his age, of course, Longqing doesn't seem to care much about his style of teaching his son, There was no intention of hiding.

"No, no, no, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has misunderstood," Hearing Zhu Yijun say this, the little eunuch hurriedly said with a smile, "What the slave means is that this champion doesn't look like those old-fashioned people in the court, and I heard that ......"

"What did you hear?"

"I heard that ......" the little eunuch continued, the expression on his face was also quite mysterious, "This champion Lang said out in Anhua County, Qingyang Prefecture, Shaanxi, he was not rich since he was a child, he was a poor scholar, and I heard that last year's Tartar invasion of the south was just that, Wang Chonggu of Ningxia brushed the army and smashed the Tartar tent, he was also recruited as the commander of the army, and attacked together, although he had never killed the Tartars, but a scholar, but he also went to the battlefield, I think there should not be the kind of bookish anger that His Royal Highness hates," If these words were put on weekdays, this little eunuch would never dare to say this, but now, in front of Zhu Yijun, he naturally wants to say words that please him.

"I've been on the battlefield," Zhu Yijun wasn't worried about being angry about books, but the word battlefield attracted him very much, and in his opinion, in the future, he would definitely not be bored.

"Teacher ......" time back to four years later, in the Qianqing Palace.

After Zhang Fan finished telling the "story" just now, he was silent, while Zhu Yijun recalled the scene when he met Zhang Fan.

Yes, Anhua County, Qingyang Prefecture, Shaanxi, that is where Zhang Fan was born, Zhu Yijun understands this very well in his heart, in fact, he understands everything about Zhang Fan in his heart.

And just now, Zhang Fan also mentioned the same place, the younger brother who was poisoned and had to be inhumane to his brother, and the place he went to after he ran away was Anhua County, Qingyang Prefecture, Shaanxi.

That's right, even if Zhang Fan doesn't have to explain anything, Zhu Yijun has already understood in his heart that Zhang Fan was talking about his family affairs just now.

He didn't know why Zhang Fan brought up this matter, but what Zhang Fan said also made him understand a lot of things.

Perhaps, this is the matter of Zhang Fan's ancestors, and at this time, he doesn't have to worry too much, but in this land, no one dares to forget his ancestors.

Whether Zhang Fan is or not, in Zhu Yijun's view, he is also carrying a lot of heavy things.
