Volume 16 Chapter 20 The Young Master of the Prince (Three Watches, Thanks to T34/85 for the Great Reward)
The New Year's Festival is approaching, the capital of Daming is becoming more and more lively, and the people who buy New Year's goods are almost crowded all the streets, and the business of various shops is so good that it is not good.
To say that the local people in the capital alone will not crowd the streets, and it is impossible for them to run out together to buy New Year's goods, and most of the people crowded on the streets are still people from other places.
Among the crowded crowds, there are people from Dongdaying, Shandong, Henan and other nearby provinces, and even Liaodong, Northwest and Jiangnan.
There are many people, and there are naturally many cars, and the lane in the middle of the road is also crowded with all kinds of cars, including horse-drawn carriages, donkey carts, ox carts, trolleys, and the latest rickshaw launched by Daming Royal Machinery Group.
In the crowded traffic, there are three people and three riders are particularly conspicuous, although there is no strict prohibition on riding horses in the capital at this time, but, ordinary people really dare not ride out of the horse, you want to take the carriage, it doesn't matter if the horse runs faster, if you have nothing to dare to hit the horse galloping on the street, you will definitely be pulled to hit the board!
This horse can't run, it's better to walk or take a car, so there are fewer horseback riders in the capital, and there are more and more cars.
These three people looked dusty, and at first glance they were not natives of the capital, and they did not beat their horses and galloped, but just urged their horses to move slowly in the traffic.
Although they did not run on the street, this maverick behavior still attracted the attention of passers-by, and the two people in the back were nothing, and they looked like guards or entourage, and the one in front was terrible.
He seems to be only in his thirties, but he is full of bookishness, as if he is full of learning, coupled with his slender figure and handsome appearance, it is like a magnet to attract women.
Whether it was a civilian woman walking on the street or a rich lady sitting in a carriage, they couldn't help but peek at him, and their hearts were like deer.
Who is this person, who is so outstanding?
If you want to tell his name, it is estimated that the woman who peeked at him could faint, this is the champion of the Jiaxu Branch in the seventh year of Chongzhen, the governor of the three northwestern provinces who has just stepped down, Chen Zilong!
Chen Zilong, who was riding on a horse, sighed, seven years ago when he was the top student in high school, he also swam around the capital, although the capital at that time was also prosperous, but it was far less exaggerated than now.
Not to mention anything else, just this shop, at that time it was great to have ten shops on a street, but now, there are not a few shops in the whole street!
The development speed of Daming is really amazing, for example, the three northwestern provinces he presided over, eight years ago it was still a wilderness for thousands of miles, and there were no people, and now, it is a blue sea with thousands of miles of traders gathering!
Being born in this peaceful and prosperous era is simply a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes, and a scholar like him, if he was born in a troubled era, where would he have today's achievements.
The flow of people in front of him gradually thinned out, not that this place was close to the outside of the city, but because this place was close to the imperial city, the more Chen Zilong thought about it, the more excited he became, and when there were no more cars and horses in front, he really beat his horse and galloped wildly!
Looking at the three people and three riders who were gradually moving away, some people couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, such a courteous and handsome offspring, why don't you know how to restrain it, dare to fight horses and gallop in the place near the imperial city on West Chang'an Street, how many boards do you have to suffer!
The strange thing is that he rushed all the way, and no one came up to stop him, whether it was the officials of Shuntianfu, or the secret agents of the Jinyi Guard, or even the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, he didn't see a single one!
The common people don't know who he is, can Jinyiwei not know who he is?
As soon as he entered the city, he was discovered by the Jinyi Wei secret agent, this is the proud protΓ©gΓ© of Lord Xu Guangqi, the big red man in front of the emperor, it's too late to send someone to protect him, arrest him, don't joke!
It's not that he is young and frivolous, it's really that the emperor urgently recruited him into Beijing to face the saint, this horse is not his own, but after getting off the train in the west of the city, Jinyiwei sent it to him, there is no station in the capital, he doesn't know how much time it will take to walk over or take the car, Zhu Cijiong is anxious to see him, so he simply asked Jinyiwei to bring a few horses to wait at the station.
When he entered the imperial city, he naturally could no longer ride a horse, so he left two guards and hurried to the palace under the guidance of a eunuch.
It's strange that when the eunuch took him to the Qianqing Palace, he didn't go in, but led him directly to the Kunning Palace!
What's going on? The emperor didn't say where to meet him, he could only follow behind the leading eunuch and rush forward with his head covered.
Regarding the question of meeting him in Kunning Palace, it is not that Zhu Cijiong wants to be different, but mainly the meaning of the queen mother of the two palaces.
This Chen Zilong is the teacher that the emperor found for the prince, and he is also responsible for the teaching of all the princes, how can they rest assured if they don't see it with their own eyes.
After rushing all the way for almost half an hour, he finally arrived at the place, even if Chen Zilong was in his prime, he was a little disordered in his breath, this is several miles, and the old minister who was going to be so anxious had to lie down tired.
When I arrived at the door of the study, the eunuch who led the way stopped, bowed and led his hand, and made a gesture of invitation, which means that the emperor is inside, you can go in by yourself.
Chen Zilong straightened his clothes, calmed down his breath again, and then bowed down and walked in.
After walking a few steps, it was dark in front of him, he quickly stopped, looked up, and saw that it was a screen, fortunately he was careful, and almost crashed into it!
There was a faint sound of laughter behind the screen, and it turned out to be all female voices, what was going on?
Chen Zilong stiffened, bowed his head, bypassed the screen, the laughter in front of him became clear, it was really a female voice, he didn't dare to look up.
Just when he didn't know what to do, the laughter in front of him suddenly disappeared, and the sound of children babbling was left.
There are also children, Chen Zilong feels like he is going to faint, why is the emperor recruiting him!
Zhu Cijiong was just lying on the warm kang behind the desk to tease his eldest son, if it weren't for Queen Qin Mingyue patting him, he wouldn't know that Chen Zilong was coming.
He looked up at Chen Zilong bowing his head, and couldn't help laughing: "What are you doing here, come and see my son, you will be his teacher in the future." β
Who is the head of the emperor's mouth, Chen Zilong naturally knows, it is His Royal Highness the Great Prince, a proper crown prince, and a teacher for the prince!
He raised his head in surprise and looked at it, now he really felt a little untenable, the queen mother, the queen, and the imperial concubine of the two palaces were all there!
Just before the salute, he knelt down in the direction of the emperor and said loudly: "Weichen Chen Zilong, knock to see the emperor, the two queen mothers, the queen, and the concubine." β
Zhu Cijiong hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said kindly: "Maozhong doesn't need to be so polite, you are my senior brother, and you can be regarded as a family, don't be so polite when you are with your family in the future, come and see your two little disciples." β
Two, what does it mean?
At this time, the queen had already picked up the eldest prince, and Princess Anna also hugged the second prince, and the two came over and turned their son to Chen Zilong, and said in unison: "Quick, call the teacher." β
Children who are less than a year old can talk, Zhu Cijiong looked at the stunned Chen Zilong, shook his head and smiled: "Maozhong, I recruited you back this time, mainly to be responsible for the affairs of Zhan Shifu, and the teacher is also old, you can help him when you are free, I will temporarily hang you a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, the prince and young master, you will take the position of the teacher in the future." β
The young master of the prince is a second grade, and he is still hanging for the time being!
Chen Zilong hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for the emperor's grace!" β
