The chicken crowed three times, Mao Yulong was awakened by the sound of pots and pans in the kitchen, knowing that it was the old lady preparing breakfast for herself, and her heart couldn't help but be moved. For the sake of her son, the old lady can work very hard, so she secretly made up her mind, even if it is not for this change, the fate of Da Ming will also fight hard for the fate of the change amount.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard.

Who came so early? Could it be that a classmate came to partner with him? I've just arrived, and I haven't met my classmates yet, which is weird.

Mao Yulong walked out and asked cautiously: "Who?" ”

As a result, the voice he least wanted to hear sounded outside the courtyard: "Quack quack, this king specially came to send my good companion to the execution ground." Zhu Youzhen's voice came arrogantly outside the courtyard gate.

There are two kinds of prisoners in Guozijian, one is a school student, who comes from other parts of the country, and the other is a day student like himself, which is a group of students who are in Beijing.

But these day students, in fact, are even harder, every day before dawn to get up, must go to the Guozijian before dawn in front of the Jixian Gate to respond, this is no different from the ministers in the early dynasty, and the ministers spread a "good emperor" family does not go to the early dynasty at all.

However, the prisoners can't help but go to school, except for the fifteenth day of the first month, they must go into this prison, yes, the Guozijian of the Ming Dynasty is comparable to a prison, in fact, some of them are more than that.

The official fortune of Guozijian students (prison students) is indeed very good. Zhu Yuanzhang was self-made, and after the change of dynasty, a large number of new bureaucrats were needed to fill in the institutions at all levels from the imperial court to the local level; At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were many big prisons, such as the Hu case, the Lan case, the empty seal case, and the Guo Huan case, killing all officials, large and small, and relying on the triennial imperial examination was far from enough, and the prisoners also went to the official fortune. In the nineteenth year of Hongwu alone, more than 1,000 prisoners took office to fill the vacancies left by the killing of tens of thousands of people because of the Guo Huan case, and even became political envoys (high-ranking officials) from the second rank as soon as they left the school.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, the ideal official should be a slave who is absolutely obedient to the emperor and has no independent thought and personality, so under his personal design, Guozijian has become a concentration camp for alternate bureaucrats and a prison for students. As soon as the students entered the Guozijian, they lost their freedom, both physically and mentally. The prisoner is even more interested in abusing the prisoners for fun, committing small crimes, committing major torture, and in this Sven land, there have been strange things that have been shown to the public.

No matter how strict the regulations are, as long as the enforcers can be accommodating, everyone still has a way to live. Unfortunately, the first sacrificial wine of the newly completed Guozijian in the fifteenth year of Hongwu was Song Ne, who was known for his "extreme strictness", he was not only the drafter of the prison rules, but also the most faithful executor of the prison rules, and the prisoners were forced to a dead end one by one.

Song Ne was originally a subordinate of the Yuan court, and his history was not very innocent, so he had to uphold his intentions and work hard to win Zhu Yuanzhang's favor. History records that he "strictly established school rules, sat upright all day long, explained that there was no false sundial, and the night was constant in the school." "It's like working hard for Zhu Yuanzhang day and night, taking the prison as his home. Zhu Yuanzhang imposed severe punishment on the minister, and Song Ne also imposed a severe punishment on the prisoners. Every month, a prisoner forced him to hang himself, and people at the time thought that his severity was worse than that of Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen.

Although there are many nobles among the prisoners now, and these prisoners also have some scruples, their strictness is still outrageous.

First of all, this tardiness is a fatal fault, every day on both sides of the road behind Jixian Gate, there will be a row of white flower buttocks, and the bamboo board is a crisp and loud.

While reluctantly opening the courtyard door and letting Zhu Youzhen and his good brother in, he pouted: "You have been bullied by me, but you have no way to take me, so you think that Guozijian will avenge you, don't you?" ”

Zhu Youzhen said proudly: "The scholars of the world are proud to enter the national prison, don't you know that it is difficult to enter the national prison, and it is even more difficult to get out." I'm going to sit here every day and watch your ass blossom every afternoon. Then he said arrogantly: "Xiao Shunzi, pay this month's food fee, and then we will eat this every day." ”

Mao Wenlong walked from the front, and was full of disdain to hit him: "A real man, do his own thing, avenge himself, and count on other people's means to avenge himself, that is not a man, not righteous." Of course, that's all you do, and I won't say anything about you, but I won't let you succeed, but fortunately, you can finally pay the food fee in order to see me make trouble, and I'm glad to see this. Come on, I'll see how much you pay for what you eat and take. I can say ugly things in my head, if it is less, it will not be possible, and when the time comes, don't say that I am not polite, and directly overturn the table. ”

So, Wang Chengen embarrassedly took out a small package: "Thirty taels a month, please accept it." ”

One or two a day, together in the future life, it is more than 300 and less than 400 a day, three people, and it is okay to take a little from time to time. In particular, most of Zhu Youjian's cabbage and radish are cabbage, and his family is a bit of a head. Now Mao Yulong is getting more and more into the eyes of money, and he is always thinking about making money.

took the small burden handed over by his brother and checked it: "Okay, I'll take it, then eat, go to Guozijian to report, I hope you will be happy when I come back in the afternoon." ”

Zhu Youzhen ordered in a hurry: "Hurry up and move the stool and put it at the door, I'll wait to watch the play." ”

Mao Wenlong walked to the kitchen without looking back: "Remember, it's best to do everything yourself, and then don't think about everything so beautifully, think too beautifully, and it's easy to be disappointed." ”

Zhu Youzhen stood there stunned, for a while, he stopped babbling, quietly walked under the big locust tree, and sat there looking at the dark sky in the east in a daze.

Seeing that the pig looked a little thoughtful, Mao Yulong leaned on the door frame and crossed his arms to observe carefully. Looking at his thin figure, blurred in the light of his own oil lamp, the furry couldn't help but feel some pity for him.

Being born in an imperial family is not necessarily a good thing, a 17-year-old child, whether in the market or now, should be the age of joy and play at the knees of his parents. However, the turmoil of this old empire pushed him to the high chair.

That chair is not easy to sit on, when he was built, it was deliberately made extremely wide, so that you can't lean back, left and right, and the layers of coiling dragon carvings under the buttocks make you sit on it like a man's back.

When I designed this chair, it was actually a reminder to you that sitting on it, you have to tremble, you have nothing to rely on, everything will be borne by yourself.

And a 17-year-old child sitting on it, how obvious the feeling of loneliness and helplessness is, that kind of trembling, coupled with the heavy river and mountains rushing in the face, will definitely drive a person crazy, a child who is shaping the character, will definitely form a strange character.

It seems that no matter how much you annoy him, no matter what the purpose, you should always help him.
