Chapter 284: The Thief's Heart Doesn't Die
"It's useless! Two useless! "It was also a great victory, but Lao Zhu was very annoyed this time, and his temper seemed to be much bigger since he hit the pole and called the emperor Lao Zhu. Now he is wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe, wearing a crown of gold silk wings, and the dragon case covered with yellow silk is banging.
Lao Zhu slowly opened the long wooden box in front of him after finishing his fire, but what appeared was not a treasure, but an arm pickled in quicklime, Lao Zhu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "It's a pity!" ”
That's right, Lao Zhu is sorry for his enemy Wang Baobao, it is Wang Baobao who almost surrounded the vanguard of the Northern Expedition in Taiyuan to make dumplings. Although he said that he was an enemy and had never met, Lao Zhu admired Wang Baobao very much and praised him as a real man.
Lao Zhu must appreciate him, although Wang Baobao is not his person, he can help him do a lot of things. For example, Wang Baobao destroyed the Longfeng regime, helped the prince of the Yuan court, Aiyu Zhili Dala, and the Zhizheng Emperor to compete for the throne, and fought with his own people, but he didn't go south to fight with his old Zhu.
I really wanted to meet this person who was holding the rice bowl of Emperor Zhizheng but helping his Lao Zhu work, but unfortunately the two brothers-in-law were useless, so they let Wang Baobao go under their noses, and finally only got back an arm and a pair of boots.
After sending the fire, Lao Zhu approved Xu Da's recital, which had three contents, the first was to let him enter Tongguan to capture Shaanxi and Gansu, the second was to send Wang Baobao's family members captured in Taiyuan City to Yingtian, and the third was to send the broken arm and the holy decree of surrender to Wang Baobao.
A lost dog with a broken arm is not worthy of Lao Zhuhua's great thoughts, but Wang Baobao is not. In the battle of Taiyuan, Wang Bao Bao rode to Datong, and then took the holy will of the Son of Yuan Heaven to collect the four generals of Guanzhong with the respect of the king of Qi, and set up a posture to prepare for a big battle with Xu Da.
The world is undecided, such a person who is both wise and brave, capable and has the means is certainly worthy of his Lao Zhu's recruitment. He put the fold on top of the wooden box, and was about to be sent away, when he saw a eunuch bow down and enter the temple.
This eunuch was about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, with a dark face, not tall or fat, but he looked very strong, although he walked with his body bowed, his feet were full of wind step by step, which was very different from those puppet girls in the Yuan Imperial Palace.
"Your Majesty, the second prince and the third prince have something to see outside the palace!" The eunuch's voice is also upright and loud, no different from that of an ordinary man.
Lao Zhu nodded: "Oh, let them both come in!" ”
The eunuch bowed and retreated outside the hall, led Zhu Xiaoer and Zhu Xiaosan to the palace, the two of them dressed in brocade robes, and saluted respectfully in front of the desk, "The child sees his father!" ”
The two skin monkeys have now grown into half-grown children, and their eyebrows and eyes are quite similar to Lao Zhu, and their words and demeanor are also very decent, and they have a royal demeanor.
Looking at his two species, Lao Zhu smiled and said, "Excuse me, what's the matter with you two?" Do you want to go out of the palace to play again? ”
Zhu Xiaoer took a step forward and said: "My father is busy with government affairs every day, and the child is here to ask for peace." ”
Zhu Xiaosan also said: "The child hasn't seen his father for several days, and he misses it so much that he came with his third brother to greet his father." ”
"I know your filial piety, if you don't have anything else, go back to study, I'm going to review it." As he spoke, he went to get a new one.
The brothers immediately became cramped, glanced at each other, and immediately said with a bitter face: "Father doesn't know, Mr. Song is busy revising the canonical system, and the time for teaching the children is getting less and less. ”
Lao Zhu groaned: "It's my negligence, so let's do it, I'll find you another gentleman, or Mr. Zhang Yi?" ”
Zhang Yi and Liu Ji, Song Lian, and Ye Chen are also known as Mr. Zhedong Si, and they were recruited by Lao Zhu in their early years, but it is a pity that Ye Chen died in a rebellion when he was the prefect of Hongdu in his early years, and there are only three Mr. Zhedong Si left. can be known in the world with Liu Ji and Song Lian, and Zhang Yi's knowledge goes without saying.
Who knew that the two brothers said: "Father doesn't need to be troublesome, Mr. Zhang is also very busy with government affairs." Otherwise, let us go to my uncle's academy, where Mr. Zhu and Mr. Luo will teach me more than enough. ”
Lao Zhu showed an imperceptible smile in his eyes, but said quietly: "There is no comfort in living in your own house there, and there is no one to serve you to dress and eat, do you really want to go?" ”
The two brothers nodded heavily, "The queen mother often says that children don't know the suffering, and the children just go to experience it." ”
Lao Zhu burst out laughing, Ma Du's academy was simply a heavenly existence for the children of his tenants, there was no suffering, but it was indeed worth experiencing for the two children who grew up in the two brocade clothes and jade food honey pots.
Lao Zhu shook his head and said: "Second brother, you are the most picky, my father is worried that the food in the academy is not to your taste, what if you are hungry." The third child, you have a habit of cleanliness, the countryside is full of cow dung, pig dung smells, and you are definitely not used to it. My father can't bear to let the two of you suffer in the academy, so let's stay in the palace. ”
Hearing this, the two hurriedly bowed to the ground, "My father often said that if you don't endure hardship, you can't become a talent, and the two children are not afraid of hardships. The two spoke in unison, and when they heard it, it was rehearsed in advance.
"Since you two are so sincere, I will fulfill you. Don't cry and want to come back in less than two days, if you violate the rules of the academy's own academy, you will inevitably be punished, and your father will not be able to protect you. ”
The two of them paused on the ground, "Please rest assured that the child will not disappoint the father." ”
Watching the two sons leave happily, Lao Zhu frowned and put his hand on his forehead, and said in his heart: "I was deceived by the fourth child to the academy to be beaten by Zhao Desheng's stick, and I didn't know it happily, I really didn't know it, I was really two stupid people." ”
A few days ago, Zhu Xiaosi went home and bragged in front of Zhu Xiaoer and Zhu Xiaosan how interesting and happy the academy was, and these two guys began to be restless, and they found themselves here unexpectedly.
"Hey...... College! Lao Zhu slowly clenched his fists, his knuckles clicked, as if he wanted to hold something in his hand.
"Yuansheng, the third and fourth go to the academy, you can arrange it later, and you will send them over tomorrow. Each of them asked for a separate house and a personal guard at the same time, and the meals must be made independently by the school's room, it doesn't matter whether it is good or not, the key is to be safe, and another two hundred guards will be taken out to guard the academy. ”
The eunuch named Yuansheng smiled and said: "Why is the emperor so troublesome, isn't it good to let the second prince, the third prince and the fourth prince live in Uncle Guo's house to eat and live?" ”
"They are not the same as the fourth child, they are big children, and those who stay in the back house of the deep palace are about to be wasted, not to mention that it is enough for the Ma family to have the fourth child, and it is enough to send two more days, hehe......" Lao Zhu smiled, and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, remember to tell Zhu Sheng tomorrow, if the two of them break the rules of the academy again, I will issue a decree to punish them, and Zhao Desheng will never be allowed to deal with it without permission." ”
Lao Zhu has spared no effort to elevate the imperial power and maintain the supreme honor of the royal family throughout his life, "the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people" is just a deceptive nonsense, if he really wants to do this, his old Zhu family has long been extinct.
"The emperor's relatives have committed crimes, and the heir is self-determined, and he only seeks to rebel and not forgive...... The house where he committed the crime is not allowed to be held by the law department, and he is not allowed to be arrested and questioned without authorization...... If it is light, the punishment will be reduced to the next level, and the heavy punishment will be deposed, but the reward and punishment will be clear, and no criminal responsibility will be added. This passage from "Emperor Ming Zuxun" couldn't be clearer, this is the truest portrayal of Lao Zhu's heart.
Yuan Sheng said with a smile: "The emperor is too worried, the two princes are smart and well-behaved, and they are taught by Confucianism when they study in the academy, and their knowledge will become more and more profound, and they will definitely be the emperor's right-hand man in the future." ”
Lao Zhu pouted, "It's weird!" ”
He turned his head and asked the eunuch, "Yuansheng, are you still used to life now?" ”
An emperor can have no advisers but no eunuchs, which is an important guarantee not to be cuckolded. Yuansheng is Lao Zhu's first eunuch, this eunuch's identity is more special, he is Lao Zhu's old man, and Lao Zhu's brother when he became a monk in Huangjue Temple.
The Son of Heaven ascended to the pole and spread the world, Fengyang and Yingtian are not far from Lao Zhu's hometown, whether official or non-governmental, the spread must be more and wider, relatives and friends know that it is inevitable that there will be people who come to Yingtian to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix.
If the clothes do not return to their hometown, the emperor is still not exempt from vulgarity, but unfortunately Lao Zhu is very busy and has not had time to return to his hometown to show off, and it would be better if the poor relatives came to the door, so that they could take a closer look at Lao Tzu is no longer the cattle herding baby in the past.
Get close to the person you like, Lao Zhu will see it, and if you don't like it, you will appreciate something and send it away, although Lao Zhu picks the door but has a good face, there is not much silver but there is land. Land is synonymous with wealth in ancient times or in later generations, and it can be rewarded to high-ranking officials and nobles or ordinary people.
This former monk and he in the monastery take care of each other and have a deep friendship, Lao Zhu did not intend to treat him badly, if he wants to return to the world, he will give him land to let him go home to marry a wife and have children, continue the incense, if you still want to be a monk, you can find a temple as the abbot or something.
Who knew that this junior brother was a wonder, and said to Lao Zhu, "The emperor has not made an inch of merit in conquering the grass people in the world, and he does not dare to be rewarded." The grass people are talented and incompetent, so they just want to be able to serve the emperor close to them and ask for a full meal. And also said that Jun had no jokes, Lao Zhu had promised in front of the Buddha that one day he would accept him as a personal companion when he became rich, and he could not regret it.
Lao Zhu thought that he didn't understand the rules and was about to persuade again, but who knew that this junior brother actually took off his pants and revealed his empty crotch. In order to fulfill the promise of the year, everyone has done this, what else does Lao Zhu have to say, not only did he not cure him for the crime of dereliction of honor in front of the king, but also immediately made him a personal eunuch, needless to say that this person will be the head of the eunuchs in the palace in the future.
Listening to Lao Zhu's questioning, Yuan Sheng bowed down and replied: "Thank you for the emperor's care, Yuan Sheng is now well fed and warmly dressed, and there is no more bullying in the first seat and prison without any bad feelings." It's just that I often stand in front of the toilet, but when I reach out and touch it, it's empty, and I can't help but feel a little lost. ”
Lao Zhu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and Yuan Sheng also laughed along, and he rested for a long time.
Lao Zhu pinched his sore cheeks, "Yuansheng is still as good at laughing as before, alas...... Go pour me a cup of tea. ”
Yuan Sheng turned to leave, Lao Zhu reached out and took a book in his hand, only glanced at it twice, and couldn't help but squint, and said viciously: "The prince of Tartar is really a thief!" ”
