Pick up the Fang Palace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

On this day, it was Shen Xi's turn to teach the prince a lesson, Zhu Houzhao was very interested in the story of Shen Xi's brave killing of the enemy in Fujian and Beiguan, but when he asked Shen Xi before, Shen Xi always smiled and did not answer, and his curiosity was slowly aroused.

During the lunch break, the bear child hurried back after lunch, and asked Shen Xi with great interest: "Mr. Shen, I heard you say that the Tatars once ran rampant in Beiguan, and they were very brave and good at fighting. I haven't met the Tatars, can you tell me about it? ”

Liu Jin, who followed the prince's ass into the room, hurriedly advised: "Your Royal Highness the prince, don't listen to those gossips, Shen Yude is just a civil servant, he is not much older than the prince, how can he use a knife and a gun with the Tatars?" ”

"You didn't go to the border, how do you know he didn't?"

Zhu Houzhao said dissatisfiedly, "I heard that when you followed Mr. Shen to the south, you fought with the Francophiles. Tell me, what is the difference between the Franco-Robot and the Tatar? ”

"A different place...... It's a bit big. Liu Jin stammered.

Shen Xi watched coldly, and at this moment, the old gelding was glaring at him.

But now, no matter what Liu Jin says, it will not affect Zhu Houzhao's attitude towards Shen Xi, because in the bear child's mind, Shen Xi is an omnipotent person, and even such a difficult thing as taking him out of the palace has been completed, as long as the problems he raises are in Shen Xi's hands, there is a way to solve them.

Although the bear child doesn't know what to do with the loyal ministers and the distant ministers, he also knows that he has to talk to capable people. He can't tell who has evil intentions for him, but who is good for him, with his age, he already has a sense of proportion in his heart.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Shen Xi with expectant eyes and said, "Please tell me about it, sir." ”

Shen Xi smiled slightly and said, "The Tatars look similar to us, but they are a little rougher, because they are born to fight against nature, and only if they are tall and strong, can they gain a foothold on the grassland. But in general, if you don't eat beef and mutton every day, there is a smell on your body, and you can hardly see the difference between changing clothes and mixing in the crowd. ”

Zhu Houzhao looked at his small body, frowned and asked, "Then why are they tall and strong?" ”

"Survival of the fittest, this is the eternal truth of nature, our Ming people, growing in the place of natural treasures, as long as the crops are well taken care of can be harvested, and the Tatars must graze and hunt, but also have to deal with the bitter cold environment, without a good body can not bear it, this is the choice made by God for their population. However, because the grassland is too difficult, even if they are strong, they do not live long. ”

Shen Xi said, "Our people in the Ming Dynasty are the same, being lazy will eventually lead to the destruction of the family, and the nature of the jackal will be spurned." ”

Shen Xi lectured to Zhu Houzhao about the survival of the fittest, and used dialectical materialism to subtly change the character of the bear child.

Liu Jin said dissatisfiedly: "Lord Shen clearly means something else!" ”

"Don't interrupt, you didn't name you Liu Jin, do you want to recruit yourself?" Zhu Houzhao angrily scolded Liu Jin and continued to ask, "Mr. Shen, what about the Francophile?" ”

Shen Xi said: "Compared with our Ming people, the Tatars are also black-eyed, black-haired, and yellow-skinned, but they are taller and taller, and they are not easy to distinguish when mixed together. But the Franciscans, who come from the continent of Europa in the far west...... There are blonde and blue-eyed people, brown-haired and green-eyed people, and black-haired and brown-eyed people...... Their skin is white, which is a difference between different races, we belong to the yellow race, and the Francos are Caucasian. ”

Liu Jin shouted beside him: "Lord Shen, you are an official of the East Palace, how can you talk nonsense to the prince?" What kind of yellow people, white people, you made it up, right? ”

Shen Xi said: "Gonggong Liu should have seen the Franc machine people, all of them are white-skinned, am I wrong?" ”

Liu Jin was speechless at this time, he felt that the Arabian Nights was not credible when he heard Shen Xi's words, but when he thought about it carefully, compared with what he had seen before, it seemed to be the case.

"So amazing? So where do they live? Born to live at sea? Zhu Houzhao couldn't even refute Liu Jin when he saw it, and his interest was even higher.

In his concept, those Franc machine people are like legendary demons and monsters, but after arriving in the Ming Dynasty, they were defeated by Shen Xi, a human being, which is very legendary.

Shen Xi said: "Europa bloodline, first of all, you have to explain to the prince what Europa is. ”

Shen Xi had given Zhu Houzhao a geography class before, but it was only a geography class in China, as for what the earth looks like, he never said that the traditional Chinese idea is that the sky is round and the place is round, and the bear child does not understand that on the other side of the world, there are actually contiguous continents and races, and there are many people who are completely different from the people of the Ming Dynasty.

After drawing a rough map of the world, Liu Jin hurried to look at it, and he also wanted to know where those Francophone people came from.

"It doesn't seem that far away, but our Ming Dynasty, why is it so small?" Zhu Houzhao was very dissatisfied with the world map drawn by Shen Xi.

Originally, he felt that since the Ming Dynasty was the **** country, then the vast majority of this world should be the territory of the Ming Dynasty, except for a few small fish and shrimp in the corners, the Ming Dynasty should occupy the most heartfelt position, after seeing the map of Shen Xi, he knew that the Ming Dynasty was insignificant in the world.

Shen Xi thought to himself, I haven't painted the American continent yet, and I deliberately painted the territory of the Ming Dynasty larger, if you know the truth, you will feel that the Ming Dynasty is insignificant.

"It seems unwilling, but it's far, far away." Shen Xi said, "It takes a long way to go from the Buddha Langji to Daming by boat, and with the current sailing speed of their sea vessels, it basically takes about a year. Does the prince still feel close? ”

"A year?" Zhu Houzhao said with a staggered voice, "That's really far away." ”

Liu Jin said: "Lord Shen, you haven't been to these places, how do you know so clearly?" Is it necessary to ask the people of the Qin Heavenly Prison to compare and ask them if what you say is true? ”

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, you old dog, don't you have anything else to do?" At this time, Bengong is discussing knowledge with Mr. Shen, why are you making do with it? Go out, don't come in and disturb without being summoned by the palace! ”

This made Liu Jin angry enough, he didn't understand what kind of ecstasy Shen Xi gave the prince, and he was able to cure the stubborn prince obediently.

When Liu Jin went out, he saw Zhu Houzhao listening to Shen Xi talk about the Buddha Machine and some things in the Europa Continent with great interest, and he was angry, thinking: "The prince is the only one who is respectful to you, I have to find a way to treat you well when I go back, and let you know who is the most trusted person by the prince!" ”

"Father-in-law Liu, does the prince have any orders?"

Gao Feng, the eunuch who was close to him, saw Liu Jin coming out of the room, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"It's okay, it's okay, besides, even if there is something, the prince just told Shen Yude, we have to stay honest." Liu Jin's face was vicious, "When you turn around, you must inform Shou Ninghou and ask him to help eradicate this kid, do you know that you and I will have a hard time." ”

Gao Feng said with some embarrassment: "Gonggong Liu, you don't know, this Shen Yude is the speaker of the East Palace appointed by His Majesty, and he will preside over the Shuntianfu Township Test, and the Holy Family is Zhenglong, not that it can be eradicated if it is eradicated." ”

"Then send him to the local government as an official, and he will not be out of sight and out of mind." Liu Jin has always had prejudices against Shen Xi, mainly because he followed Shen Xi to Quanzhou, but he didn't let him get any benefits on the way.

Gao Feng sighed and said, "Didn't Gonggong Liu realize that Hou Shouning hadn't given the East Palace attendants a single reward in the past few months?" Dragon boat festival...... I didn't even ask, the last time the Hou Ye went to the East Palace, I wanted to go up and talk, but he avoided it from a distance and ignored me. ”

Liu Jin's attention was all on the prince, and he hadn't paid attention to the attitude of the Zhang brothers towards them, and after Gao Feng's reminder, he suddenly remembered that there were indeed some problems recently.

But he couldn't say why.

"I guess it's to avoid suspicion, after all, the prince is growing up day by day. But after all, I have to talk to Hou Ye...... No, I'll write to him right now and ask him to help, and he'll always sell me for this little face. Liu Jin clenched his fists and said.

Liu Jin went to find a place to write a letter by himself, Gao Feng looked at his back, shook his head again and again, and looked disapproving.

Among your retinue in the East Palace, you Liu Jin is the most favored by the prince, and naturally everyone wants to slap you, but don't treat yourself too much.

What is the identity of Shou Ning Hou and Jian Changbo, and they will obey your dispatch? You also want to remove an East Palace speaker, do you really think that you can call the shots in this palace?

……

……

Liu Jin's letter was soon delivered to the Shouning Marquis Mansion.

The chamberlain writes letters to the ministers, and it is taboo in all dynasties, but Shou Ninghou and Liu Jin are both "red people" in the palace, one is the uncle of the country, and the other is a close servant who is deeply trusted by the prince, even if someone knows, they dare not talk nonsense.

"This Liu Jin is becoming more and more unruly, and he dares to write a letter to instruct me to do things!"

Zhang Heling was angry after reading the letter, he had always been worried about the prince's departure from the palace before, and now when he saw this letter again, he couldn't help but be angry.

Zhang Yanling smiled: "Liu Jin, we don't know the little bit of caution in his heart, right? As soon as this Shen Xi offended him, he wanted to transfer people away, it seems that this Shen Xi can be used by us. ”

In the minds of the Zhang brothers, although Shen Xi is a bit of a maverick and has not made a special trip to the house to visit and greet him, at least they do not regard Shen Xi as an "enemy", after all, Shen Xi is a lecturer in the East Palace and has a good relationship with the prince, so the Zhang brothers want to use some means to win over Shen Xi and use it for his use.

"Shen Xi has done a lot of practical things, and even His Majesty favors him, and now that he is fifteen years old, he has to preside over the Shuntianfu Township Test." Zhang Heling thought for a while and said, "By the way, didn't there be a few families who wanted their children to pass the township test before?" Find someone to do something ......"

Zhang Yanling said: "Big brother, since the Ministry of Rites will test the year before last, the spirit of the government and the opposition has collapsed very tightly, will we intervene in the township test at this time, will it cause fire?" ”

"It stands to reason that there shouldn't be much of a problem, and the township test is less influential than the general test. Besides, even if he was an old stubborn like Wang Hua in the last township test, didn't he obediently give in in the end? This time, Shen Xi is the chief examiner, he is young and weak, so it should be much easier. Zhang Heling said.

Zhang Yanling said with some regret: "It's a pity that now the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce has become ancient, and Shen Xi, as the Shaodong of the Chamber of Commerce, has had business dealings with us, so he should be able to speak very well." The most odious thing is that the people who undertook to declare the political envoy in Fujian Province did not fulfill all the benefits promised to us...... Without the means of coercion, I am afraid that Shen Xi's kid will not give in easily. ”

The principle that the Zhang brothers have always pursued is that how much benefit is given, you must receive a multiplied return. As for taking advantage of others, the two brothers felt that I deserved it and never thought of reciprocating.

"What he wants, give it to him, he now has no shortage of beautiful wives and concubines, his family is rich, and there is only one gas left in the wine and wealth, so find a way to make him famous, let his status in Shilin be further improved, and then tell him to do things, it will be much easier."

Zhang Heling is very smart, he gave the benefits first, and Shen Xi couldn't shirk it at all.

However, the advantage is to make a name for Shen Xi, but fame is just a matter of one or two sentences, if you don't explain it to Shen Xi, it is estimated that Shen Xi will be confused from beginning to end.

"Then Liu Jin ......," Zhang Yanling asked tentatively.

"Leave him alone."

Zhang Heling said sharply, "When the queen withdraws his identity as an attendant in the East Palace, let's see what confidence he still has to write to me...... Hey, what the hell, a birdman with no eggs, who thinks he's a character, actually dictates to me, I think he's impatient! ”
