Chapter 248: Excellent Impression

(Recommended reading: "Compiled by Li, this palace read your strategy during the palace exam, and it was really brilliant in writing, and it deserved to be the new champion of my Ming Dynasty."

After hearing Li Hongyu's voice, Zhu Youxiao raised his head and glanced at him, then shook the few pieces of paper in his hand with a smile and said, what he held in his hand was a transcription of Li Hongyu's palace examination article.

"His Royal Highness Taisun has praised it falsely, and the lower official is just a fluke." Hearing this, Li Hongyu hurriedly replied humbly.

"Li Compilation, do you know why this palace asked you to serve as the horse wash of the Economic Bureau?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile slightly when he heard this, the humble and polite Li Hongyu left a good impression on him, and then asked with a smile.

Zhu Youxiao already knew that Li Hongyu had come to thank him at the behest of Emperor Wanli, so he wanted to see how Li Hongyu thought about this matter, and Emperor Wanli would definitely not tell Li Hongyu about the three-masted sailing ship model.

"His Royal Highness Taisun naturally has the reason for His Royal Highness Taisun to do this, and the lower officials can't guess it, I hope His Royal Highness Taisun will tell me."

Seeing a smug look on Zhu Youxiao's face, Li Hongyu couldn't help but smile in his heart, and then replied seriously, Zhu Youxiao couldn't have imagined that he already knew the answer anyway.

"Compiled by Li, in addition to your extensive knowledge, this palace has heard that you know a lot about Western affairs, so this palace wants to know if you really know the customs and folklore of the West as rumored."

Zhu Youxiao knew that Li Hongyu couldn't guess his intentions, so he pretended to look at Li Hongyu and said in a deep voice, "Don't let this palace down!" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness Taisun, the lower official does know some Western things, if the Taisun has Yaxing, the lower official will know everything, and he will say everything." Li Hongyu couldn't help but smile in his heart, looked at Zhu Youxiao solemnly and said.

"Tell me, what do you know?" Zhu Youxiao's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he stared at Li Hongyu with interest and asked.

"Your Royal Highness, the things that the lower officials know are too complicated, and it will be difficult to explain them for a while."

Li Hongyu deliberately pretended to be a little embarrassed when he heard this, and after a while, he said to Zhu Youxiao with some embarrassment, "Don't hide it from the grandson, the lower official has already received the emperor's holy decree, and after seeing the grandson, he will go to Beijing on an errand, please forgive His Royal Highness."

"However, Xia Guan has compiled some of the Western customs and folklore he knows into a book, and His Royal Highness Taisun can check it first." As he spoke, Li Hongyu Yufeng came up with a solution.

In order to enable Zhu Youxiao to accept Western natural science, Li Hongyu specially compiled a book introducing Western customs and customs, which contains a lot of content about Western natural science.

Li Hongyu did not expect to carry out a vigorous disciplinary revolution through Zhu Youxiao, after all, the feudal etiquette of the Ming Dynasty was deeply rooted, and even Zhu Youxiao could not shake it.

Therefore, Li Hongyu only hoped to get Zhu Youxiao's recognition and support, so that he could introduce Western natural disciplines on a small scale, and gradually enable the literati of the Ming Dynasty to accept this novel discipline.

Originally, Li Hongyu wanted to wait until the end of the Liaodong affair to find an opportunity to dedicate the book to Zhu Youxiao, but the development of the matter was beyond Li Hongyu's expectations, Zhu Youxiao took the initiative to transfer him to his side, and Li Hongyu naturally wanted to seize this opportunity to hand over the book to Zhu Youxiao.

Speaking of which, it is also a coincidence, the book he compiled was only printed on the day of Li Hongyu's title on the gold list, and he didn't have time to read it, if it was printed a few days later, it wouldn't be able to be submitted to Zhu Youxiao in time.

"Compiled by Li, where are you going on business?" However, compared to the book that Li Hongyu said, Zhu Youxiao was more interested in Li Hongyu going out on an errand, and stared at him curiously and asked.

You must know that Li Hongyu is the new champion of the dynasty, and he was sent out by Emperor Wanli on the first day of his tenure at the Hanlin Academy, which was really unexpected by Zhu Youxiao.

You must know that according to common sense, the newly promoted jinshi must first understand and familiarize themselves with the situation of the ministry's yamen after going down to the yamen of various ministries and institutes, and will not carry out the tasks of the ministry in a short period of time, let alone propose to Beijing to carry out the imperial mission.

Especially a champion like Li Hongyu, who is an out-and-out servant of the Son of Heaven, will not be easily sent out by the emperor to the city on an errand.

"This ......" Li Hongyu couldn't help but look embarrassed when he heard this, he was carrying out a secret mission that should not be disclosed to the public, so naturally it was not appropriate to disclose it to the outside world.

In fact, Li Hongyu didn't mind telling Zhu Youxiao the truth at all, and as the future crown prince, of course he had to show his sincerity.

But then again, after all, the current Son of Heaven is Emperor Wanli, so how can Li Hongyu easily reveal his errand, that would be disloyal to Emperor Wanli.

"Taisun, Li compiled the emperor's secret order, and what he told the Taisun was to resist the decree." Wei Zhongxian saw that Li Hongyu's face was embarrassed, so he smiled and said to Zhu Youxiao, and relieved Li Hongyu lightly.

"Look at the memory of this palace, how did you forget such an important thing." Zhu Youxiao came back to his senses, patted his forehead and said with a smile, it could be seen that he had a very close relationship with Wei Zhongxian.

"His Royal Highness Taisun, in fact, it is not a secret decree, the emperor sent a subordinate official to Liaodong on a business trip, and he may not be able to come back in a short time."

Since Wei Zhongxian had already pointed out why he couldn't tell Zhu Youxiao, then Li Hongyu's goal had been achieved, so he immediately groaned and said solemnly.

Compared with telling Zhu Youxiao directly, it is obvious that after this little episode, Zhu Youxiao and Wei Zhongxian are more impressed by him, I am afraid that now Zhu Youxiao and Wei Zhongxian would never have imagined that Li Hongyu played a trick in this matter.

"Liaodong?" Zhu Youxiao was stunned when he heard this, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, isn't Liaodong fighting now, what can Li Hongyu, the new champion, do?

Wei Zhongxian was also a little surprised, no matter what, he didn't expect Li Hongyu to go to the bitter cold place of Liaodong.

"Don't hide it from the grandson, Yang Jingluo lost in Liaodong, and the lower officials asked the emperor for the holy decree to go to Liaodong to deal with the rebellion of Jianzhou."

Li Hongyu hesitated for a moment, and then said solemnly to Zhu Youxiao, "It will take at least half a year to come back to Liaodong this time, and the emperor has appointed Zhao Bian Xiu as the school secretary of the Department of Economic Affairs.

Before going to Liaodong, Li Hongyu of course had to find a way to catch Zhu Youxiao's line, so he naturally wanted to push Zhao Xin out.

Under Li Hongyu's deliberate arrangement, Zhao Xin was clear about the affairs of the West, the Customs Department and even the sailors, so he was very relieved that Zhao Xin stayed in the capital to help run various matters.

Zhu Youxiao is the imperial grandson of the Ming Dynasty, of course Li Hongyu does not have to worry about him leaking the defeat of the Ming army in Liaodong and doing something unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty, anyway, the news of Zhu Youxiao's defeat of the Ming army in Liaodong will soon spread in the Ming Dynasty.

It's not that the imperial court doesn't want to block this shameful thing, but the defeat of Liaodong can't be blocked at all, in addition to the death and capture of so many people, the addition of Liaodong salary alone will let the world know that the Ming army lost on the battlefield in Liaodong, otherwise how could the imperial court continue to levy salaries?

"Zhao Xiu?" Zhu Youxiao's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, and then he asked Li Hongyu with some excitement, "Is that the new subject list that sounded the Dengwen drum?" ”

"That's the man." Seeing that Zhu Youxiao had an impression of Zhao Xin, Li Hongyu couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and nodded quietly.

"Now that's interesting!" Seeing that Li Hongyu had confirmed it, Zhu Youxiao suddenly laughed, and there was a lot of expectation in his words.

To tell the truth, compared with those old scholars of Zhan Shifu who have a straight face all day long, Zhao Xin, who dares to beat the drum, will definitely not make Zhu Youxiao feel bored in teaching life, no matter how Zhao Xin and Li Hongyu are only a few years older than him, and they have a lot of common language with each other.

"Li Xiushu, you must come back safely, this palace is still waiting for you to tell this palace about Western affairs." Subsequently, Zhu Youxiao's face turned pale, and he said to Li Hongyu with a straight face.

To be honest, like Emperor Wanli, Zhu Youxiao and Wei Zhongxian did not expect that the Ming army would be defeated in Liaodong, which means that the battle situation in Liaodong is extremely unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty.

"Cheng Taisun Jiyan, the lower officials will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune and return triumphantly." Hearing this, Li Hongyu hurriedly and solemnly thanked him, a subtle smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, it seemed that Zhu Youxiao had a good impression of him.

"Big companion, why did he go to Liaodong?"

Li Hongyu was in a hurry to leave for Liaodong, so he did not stay in Qingning Palace for a long time, and quickly said goodbye and left, and after he left, Zhu Youxiao frowned and pondered for a while, and then asked Wei Zhongxian who was standing on the side in puzzlement, he really couldn't guess Li Hongyu's intention to do this.

"Perhaps, Compile Li really wants to contribute to Daming." Wei Zhongxian pondered for a moment, then bowed down and said, he couldn't see what Li Hongyu meant.

In Wei Zhongxian's view, Li Hongyu's trip to Liaodong this time can be described as risking his life, which is not worth it for a new champion, and Li Hongyu can think about it in other aspects.

Therefore, "loyalty to the monarch and serving the country" may be the only reason that can explain Li Hongyu's incredible behavior.

"Anyway, he's a lot more interesting than the old-fashioned Zhan things." Zhu Youxiao agreed with Wei Zhongxian's words, smiled and said, he couldn't help but look forward to what kind of surprise Li Hongyu would bring him in the future.

When Li Hongyu returned home with the sword box, Qin Yue was beckoning Rou'er and others to distribute clothes to a group of little beggars in the front yard.

Qin Yue was very surprised when she saw Li Hongyu coming, you must know that it is not yet the time for the yamen to disperse, and Li Hongyu will leave early today for the first time to report to the yamen.

Therefore, the smart and clever Qin Yue quickly realized that something was wrong, so she quickly followed Li Hongyu to the living room after explaining a few words to Rou'er.

"Sister Rou'er, that official is the champion of the new department?" Li Hongyu's arrival attracted the little beggars in the courtyard, who looked at Li Hongyu who entered the living room curiously, and asked Rou'er with interest.

"He's the champion of Jinke." Rou'er smiled slightly when she heard this, and said to those little beggars, as long as you study hard in the future, even if you can't be like Zhuang Yuanlang, you can become a respected scribe.

"Hmm!" The little beggars nodded vigorously when they heard this, their faces showed a look of expectation, and they looked extremely adored to Li Hongyu, who was the champion of the folk but Wenqu Xing, but they didn't expect to be so close to them.
