Chapter 084: First Sight of King Zhou
Li Xiuwen followed behind Zhu Shaoye, and the two walked to a lake, and only stopped after seeing that there was no one around.
Seeing that Zhu Shaoye was just looking at the lake and didn't say a word for a long time, Li Xiuwen couldn't help but say loudly: "Is there anything unspeakable in Your Highness's heart?" ”
Zhu Shaoye looked at the lake and sighed lightly, without turning around, but asked: "Hengzhi, do you say that among the royal family, is there any family affection at all?" ”
When Li Xiuwen heard this, he didn't answer out loud, he couldn't discuss such a question at will.
Zhu Shaoye waited for a while, couldn't hear his answer, turned around, looked at him and smiled: "What?" Don't you even tell me the truth? ”
"This ......"
Li Xiuwen pondered for a while before he spoke: "This is a family matter of His Royal Highness, and I dare not speak falsely." ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it! There are only two of you here, and no third person will hear your words! ”
Zhu Shaoye said. Seeing that Li Xiuwen was still a little hesitant, his brows furrowed: "Is Hengzhi unable to trust me?" Not? ”
"Naturally, I can trust Your Highness."
Li Xiuwen had no choice but to give up his hand and said: "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, don't say that there is no family affection in the royal family, even in an ordinary family, why is it not an open and secret fight, you live and die?" ”
After Li Xiuwen finished speaking, he paused before continuing: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. When there are enough benefits in front of you, what morality, family affection, law, etc., in the eyes of most people, can be sacrificed! ”
After listening to this, Zhu Shaoye was silent for a long time before he spoke: "When Brother Wang saw me these days, his eyes were very unkind. I think he must have hated me so much. ”
Li Xiuwen asked, "Does Your Highness think that if you don't go against the prince, he will let you go?" ”
"No!"
Zhu Shaoye shook his head and said, "My father has always been very partial to me, and Brother Wang has always been suspicious of me. As long as I live in this world, I will threaten his position as a son. You don't know, I've been assassinated several times, and you know who would do such a thing. And now, I have meddled in the matter between you again, and this time he has suffered a lot of losses, and he will definitely not let me go. ”
"Exactly!"
Li Xiuwen nodded and said, "Since His Highness understands it in his heart, why worry about it?" ”
Zhu Shaoye nodded slowly, still looking preoccupied. Suddenly, he asked, "What is the benefit of the balance?" ”
"Your Highness, didn't you ask knowingly?"
Li Xiuwen said with a smile: "With the financial resources of my Li family, I don't have to worry about food and clothing." But if there is an opportunity, who doesn't want to live on top of the temple, assist a Ming Jun, show his ambitions, and create a peaceful and prosperous world for all the people in the world! And then be able to go down in history? ”
"Create a peaceful and prosperous world?"
Zhu Shaoye repeated this sentence in his mouth, frowning and falling into deep thought.
Is it a peaceful and prosperous time now? Obviously, no! Liaodong was occupied by Huang Taiji, and the country name was set up - Manchu Qing. is ready to move at the border, which has always been a big trouble for Daming. There are frequent famines, people are displaced, and rebellions are uninterrupted.
There are Tartars outside, and there are civil unrest inside. How can it be regarded as a peaceful and prosperous world?
Even if Zhu Shaoye is not like Li Xiuwen, he has an understanding of the future, and he can't see the death of the country. But he still has some vision. He knew that if the imperial court didn't come up with a way to solve these problems as soon as possible. This Ming Dynasty will be devastated and dilapidated.
Admittedly, this is the fault of those who govern. But if you change yourself, do you really have the ability to save this court?
Zhu Shaoye didn't dare to think about it, he didn't have this certainty. If he had been replaced, it might have been better, at least much better than it is now. He still has this faith. But in that position, it was never his turn, he had this self-knowledge.
Li Xiuwen saw him pondering, and he didn't bother. He knew that it would take time for Zhu Shaoye to covet the emperor's throne. After all, the current Ming Dynasty court is still angry, and it is a big joke to confront each other with a feudal land!
But he knew that Chongzhen couldn't hold out for a few years.
Not long after returning to the pavilion, I saw Zhu Huaiyu holding Zhu Gongyu, the king of Zhou, and was coming over here. Seeing this, the two hurriedly got up and went out to greet each other.
"The child has seen his father!"
"Xiao Sheng has seen the prince!"
The two of them greeted each other and saluted. This is the first time Li Xiuwen has seen Zhu Gongfang, but he can recognize Zhu Gongqiao's identity at a glance. Not to mention clothing, who else can be supported by the little county lord, except for the prince?
King Zhou looks to be in his fifties, slightly old. His face was kind, and seeing that Zhu Shaoye's two siblings were very relaxed in front of him, he couldn't see a nervous look. Although he loves these two brothers and sisters very much, Li Xiuwen can see that Zhu Gongfang should have no shelf.
"Hmm...... Excuse me! ”
Zhu Gongyu nodded and asked them to get up. When his eyes moved to Li Xiuwen, he wondered: "Who is this?" ”
Zhu Shaoye hurriedly introduced: "Father! This is Li Xiuwen, a living of Kaifeng Mansion, and a friend of the child. Today he was invited by the child. ”
Zhu Gongyu nodded, he rarely went out and walked around, and he didn't know much about the outside world. Li Xiuwen is just a living being, and it is normal that Zhu Gongyu has never heard his name.
"I was bored in the house, so I thought about going out for a walk."
Zhu Gongqi said. He is old, and his body is not very good, and many things have already been handed over to Zhu Shaoyang.
"Yes! The father wants to go out and walk more, which is good for the body. ”
Zhu Shaoye answered his words, but his eyes glared at his sister. He knew that Zhu Huaiyu was deliberately making trouble for him. She just broke her apart, and she deliberately moved her father out to take revenge on herself.
Fortunately, he and Li Xiuwen had already finished talking, and when they came over at this time, there would be no problems.
Zhu Huaiyu pretended not to see his eyes, but his big eyes were full of smiles that could not be concealed. She said to Zhu Gongyu: "Father! This Li Xiuwen is amazing! When he was eighteen years old, he became the head of our Kaifeng Mansion Examination. ”
"Oh?"
Zhu Gongqi glanced at Li Xiuwen and praised: "It's a little talented!" ”
"The prince has won the prize!" Li Xiuwen said modestly.
Zhu Huaiyu continued: "That's! He wrote some kind of poem that day. Not...... I can't remember. ”
Li Xiuwen and Zhu Shaoye were stunned when they heard this, and secretly said that something was wrong in their hearts. Glancing at each other, this word can't be heard by Zhu Gongyu, otherwise his life will be over!
"What poetry? Can you chant to this king? ”
When Zhu Gongyu heard this, he was a little interested, although he was not extraordinary, but he also had some preference for poetry.
Li Xiuwen secretly said that it was not good, and said stubbornly: "Xiaosheng is not talented, that word is just improvised, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get into the hall of elegance, and I dare not show ugliness in front of the prince." ”
"Yes, father, I have heard this word, and there are indeed some flaws, I am afraid that it will be difficult to enter your eyes."
Zhu Shaoye was also busy playing a round, and at the same time handed over a look to his sister, signaling her to stop dwelling on this matter.
Zhu Huaiyu saw his eyes, a flash of wisdom flashed in his eyes, and he took Zhu Gongyu's arm and said, "Father! I've heard that song too, and it doesn't seem to be very good. Why don't we let him make another poem at this time? ”
When Zhu Gongyu heard this, he nodded and said, "It's okay!" ”
Li Xiuwen secretly complained in his heart, this little county lord is really difficult. There are not many poems he can remember, and most of them are famous poems from the Tang and Song dynasties. But now in the Ming Dynasty, even if he wants to be this "copyist", he has more than enough heart but not enough strength.
Is it possible to make a limerick poem at will? In front of King Zhou, what is the difference between this and death?
Just as he was sweating on his forehead, Li Xiuwen suddenly thought of a poem, and this word was written by Nalan Rongruo in the Qing Dynasty, they must have never heard of it.
"If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan.
Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable. ”
Li Xiuwen chanted half of the words, but it was not that he intended to read only half of them. Rather, he only remembered the first two sentences, the last two sentences, sorry, Li Daguan couldn't remember.
"This ...... It doesn't seem like it's over yet, right? ”
Zhu Gongyu was stunned, he could hear that this word should be only half. But he waited for a long time, but Li Xiuwen didn't speak again. He couldn't help but ask.
"This ...... The prince forgives his sins! Xiaosheng is not talented, but the following ones can't be done for the time being. Li Xiuwen said.
"That's a shame......
Zhu Gongqi was a little unsatisfied, but he didn't intend to embarrass Li Xiuwen. He smiled and said, "That's it! Things in the world are always difficult to be perfect, and presumably Providence is like this, and this king will not force it on you. ”
Zhu Gongyu is not in good health, and he is already a little tired at this time. After the words fell, he had already gotten up and was ready to go back to rest.
When Zhu Huaiyu carried him back, he was still thinking about these two words: "If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan......
