Chapter 561: Emperor Dengzi

The old man's words successfully aroused everyone's interest, after all, the 'apprenticeship scholar' is ethereal, and the screen worth five taels of silver is not cheap!

Don't say 'Miss Erzhang', even if it is Cao Dingjiao, Wei Xuelian is quite moved, this is the most suitable to win back and send the girl he likes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A group of people are staring at the last puzzle, ready for battle.

Zhu Xu was also quite curious, as the bottom of the box was naturally more difficult than the previous one, which aroused his interest.

A group of people stared at the old man's hand with burning eyes, waiting for him to tear off the white paper that was obscured.

"Alright, this is it." The old man tore it off violently and said with a smile.

Zhu Xu and the others looked up and saw a line of small poems.

'Look to the south, and face to the north. Like sorrow and sorrow, like joy and joy'.

"What is this? Hit what? A man looked at this little poem and was completely clueless.

"yes, there's always a point, right? Otherwise, there is no way to guess based on these few words......"

"Who made this?"

A group of people were noisy, these few little poems had no beginning or end, and there was no support, so everyone couldn't guess at all.

The younger sister of 'Miss Erzhang' also looked at the old man and said crisply, "Uncle, there should be a hint, right?" ”

The old man shook his head and smiled, and said, "The person who gave me the question is like this, without any hints. ”

"No hints?"

The two Miss Zhang looked at each other, both puzzled.

Others are even more confused, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, boundless.

Zhu Xu looked at this question, and the corners of his mouth crossed a weird smile. He's seen it, and he's got to know the mystery!

Cao Dingjiao, Wei Xuelian and others all frowned and pondered, in just four sentences, they didn't know what they meant, they didn't know what they meant, they could only guess by feeling, and they didn't have a clue.

The old man stood in place, looking around with a smile, all of them were distressed, and when he stayed here with Zhu Xu, his expression moved slightly, and said, "This son, did you guess it again?" ”

'Why is it on me again, I'm just a spectator......

Zhu Xu plucked out his ears, very helpless, he couldn't live in peace anywhere.

Sure enough, the old man's voice fell, and everyone's eyes looked over, but this time they didn't sneer anymore, and they all looked at Zhu Xu curiously.

Cao Huachun, Cao Bianjiao, Cao Dingjiao, Wei Xuelian and others around Zhu Xu also looked at Zhu Xu, some of them looked surprised, and some of them were really surprised.

'Second Miss Zhang' both looked at Zhu Xu with wide eyes, and her sister said in a low voice: "Sister, is this our genius in the capital?" How come I haven't heard of it? ”

My sister shook her head slightly, also showing doubts, and said softly: "It may be from Jiangnan, I heard that two of the four great talents of Jiangnan have entered Beijing." ”

My sister blinked and said, "It's not like it, he looks like a person from the capital." ”

My sister is also not clear, it stands to reason that the talents who show their fame in the capital should be able to compare one or two, but this person seems to have never appeared.

"Maybe the reputation is not ......obvious," my sister didn't finish speaking, and her pretty face changed slightly. They talked about it and came straight at them.

"Like that screen?" The person they had just whispered came to the front and smiled softly.

In broad daylight, the two sisters were not afraid, and without waiting for them to speak, the man with a special mature taste smiled warmly and said: "If you like it, I will give it to you, I guessed the mystery." ”

Everyone was stunned at first, then burst into laughter.

"Little brother, it turned out to be a gift to a beautiful woman, I said it earlier, then we won't rob it......"

"Yes, yes, a gentleman has the beauty of an adult, don't forget to invite the wine......"

"Two young ladies, this son is full of fists, why don't you just continue......"

A group of people followed and coaxed, Cao Huachun, Cao Bianjiao and others did not speak, knowing what was going on. However, Wei Xuelian whispered and laughed in Cao Dingjiao's ear: "Old Cao, the young master protected by your eldest brother is really unusual. ”

How dare Cao Dingjiao respond, that is a mysterious and murderous emperor in the deep palace!

The two sisters were curious at first, but then the younger sister glared at the man and said fiercely: "Dengzi, whoever wants your things, if you don't leave, I will ask someone to beat you!" ”

My sister pursed the corners of her mouth, although she didn't speak, her pretty face was not happy.

The disciple in their eyes did not leave, pinched his chin and glanced at the two of them, and said with a smile: "You two sisters look almost identical." ”

It's just a street teaser!

The two sisters were angry, and the family who followed behind them leaned over, and before they could speak again, the disciple in their eyes had already turned around and walked away in style.

The younger sister grinded her silver teeth, stared at the man's back, waved her fist and hummed: "Count you fast, otherwise you will be beaten into a pig's head!" ”

My sister was not excited, her beautiful eyes groaned, and suddenly said to the old man in front of the stall: "Uncle, is the mystery a mirror?" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, then looked at the back of Zhu Xu, who had already walked away, and said with a smile: "Was it prompted by that son?" ”

My sister blushed and said, "Yes." But we don't need a screen, thank you, uncle. After saying that, he pulled his sister around and walked away quickly.

Before my sister could react, she took a few steps and grabbed her sister and said, "Sister, what's wrong, why are you leaving, and how good that screen is......"

My sister ignored her, and looked at the man who could still be seen not far away, and she always felt a little familiar, but she couldn't remember it.

The younger sister looked at her sister's expression and wondered, "Sister, what's the matter, do you know that disciple?" ”

Sister Zhang Yun shook her head and said with a smile: "Let's go, it's been a long time, and the eldest aunt should be in a hurry." ”

Sister Zhang Shu pouted, obviously not having fun, but she knew that there had been a big incident in the family recently, and she couldn't cause trouble, so she reluctantly followed behind her sister, muttering in a low voice, "Curse you for not marrying a daughter-in-law for the rest of your life!" ’

She blamed the 'Ascending Disciple' she thought she wouldn't be able to play!

The disciple in the eyes of the sisters is slowly walking on the way back to the palace.

Zhu Xu walked very slowly with his hands behind his back, the appearance of these two sisters made his tense spirit feel a little relaxed and light, and he couldn't help but want to enjoy it for a while.

He was followed by Cao Huachun, Cao Bianjiao, Cao Dingjiao, Wei Xuelian and others.

Wei Xuelian was very puzzled, he didn't know why Cao Dingjiao wanted to follow, and he was so cautious that he didn't dare to breathe.

After a while, Zhu Xu took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Wei Xuelian next to Cao Dingjiao, pointed at Cao Bianjiao and said with a smile: "Let me introduce you, this is Cao Dingjiao's eldest brother Cao Bianjiao, he is my guard, guess who I am?" ”

Wei Xuelianmeng's face changed greatly, and he turned his head to look at Cao Dingjiao. He remembered that when he met Cao Dingjiao, it happened to be the forbidden army Cao Bianjiao returning to Beijing, and he also asked Cao Dingjiao if he had anything to do with Cao Bianjiao, but Cao Dingjiao was vaguely fooled.

Cao Dingjiao didn't look at Wei Xuelian, raised his hand and bowed to Zhu Xu and said, "Cao Dingjiao, the grass people, see the emperor." ”

Wei Xuelian could still control the messy thoughts in his heart, and hurriedly followed: "The grass man Wei Xuelian sees the emperor." His lips were trembling, where would he have thought that a rich boy he met on the road would be the emperor!

Zhu Xu looked at Wei Xuelian and said with a smile: "Let's be even." ”

Several people gathered together, this is the way back to the palace, it seems a little quiet.

Cao Dingjiao is calm, but Wei Xuelian is different, he doesn't know how to put his hands and feet.

Zhu Xu looked at Wei Xuelian, who was tall, although he was a literati, he had a martial arts statue, and said with a smile: "Wei Xuelian, I know you, the article you wrote was published in the internal newspaper of the Political Yuan, and it was well written." ”

Wei Xuelian didn't expect the emperor to pay attention to an ordinary little person like him, his heart was surging, and he felt a rush of heat, and hurriedly raised his hand and said: "Emperor Xie's appreciation, it is all grass people's deserved." ”

Zhu Xu helped his arm and said, "Your sentence 'The officials are not clear, everything is suspended, and the key to the new policy lies in eliminating malpractices', this sentence is deeply meaningful." At the beginning of my accession to the throne, I knew that 'governing the country first governs the officials', and the fall of a country is often the result of the accumulation of corrupt officials who cannot be governed clearly......"

Where did Wei Xuelian dare to think that his thoughts would coincide with the emperor, bowing there, his heart was like a drum, as if he was about to jump out.

Zhu Xu could roughly guess his mood, smiled, and said, "That old Cao of yours, I plan to send him to Wan. County, where are you going to go? ”

Cao Dingjiao didn't speak, he couldn't help where he went, his uncle had already arranged it.

There is a high-ranking uncle who is trusted by the emperor, and sometimes life may not be easy.

Wei Xuelian was nervous and a little unsteady, gritted his teeth, and said, "Caomin...... I want to go to the criminal department. ”

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, the Criminal Department now has jurisdiction over the whole country's criminal prisons, including the arrest of the Yamen, which is indeed a powerful department.

Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back, looked at the sky, and suddenly turned his head to look at him after a while: "I plan to set up an anti-corruption bureau under the Governor's Yuan, which is dedicated to investigating corruption among court officials, do you dare to go?" ”

The Criminal Department is responsible for criminal cases and cannot play an anti-corruption role, and the Supervisory Yuan supervises government affairs and monitors hundreds of officials, but the meaning is not so obvious, Zhu Xu wants to set up a special and very clear department to review internal corruption.

Wei Xuelian's face changed slightly, such a yamen, I am afraid that it will make hundreds of officials in the world hate to death!

After entering this yamen, let alone being promoted, it is a blessing to save your life!

Zhu Xu was not in a hurry, just looked at him quietly, this person in history would rather die than give in!

The others are aware of the danger of this yamen, and they will offend the entire officialdom, and once they take office, their careers will be ruined, and life and death will be in vain!

Cao Dingjiao had the heart to persuade his friend that with his upright temper, he really wanted to break in, and he was afraid that it would not end well.

Wei Xuelian's face kept changing, he also felt the risk in it, and the corners of his face twitched constantly, and he didn't say anything for a long time. I don't know how long it took, he suddenly raised his head to Zhu Xu and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the grass people dare to go, for the country and the people, clean up the rule of officials, break the blood flow, and die without regrets!" ”

The corners of Zhu Xu's eyes jumped, he took a deep breath, and said with satisfaction: "Okay!" For your courage, I give you a privilege, unless it is a big crime such as rebellion, I guarantee that you will not die, not be imprisoned, not punished, and will not involve your family! ”

Wei Xuelian's heart twitched fiercely, knelt on the ground violently, and said loudly: "The minister thanked the emperor, I am willing to be the emperor, for my Ming Dynasty, go to the soup and the fire, and never give up!" ”
