Chapter 437: Schadenfreude

Zhou Zhi came out of Kunning Palace alone, his expression a little gloomy. However, he quickly adjusted his mentality. secretly thought that being a prince companion is a really good path for too many people, and it is something that many people dream of. But now that I have taken the initiative to resign from this companion, I seem to be a little stupid.

But are you really stupid?

Zhou Zhi didn't think so, anyway, he was going to take the imperial examination, and the politics of the Ming Dynasty at this time were relatively clear and meritocracy. Several people in the cabinet are people who cherish talents, and as long as they are admitted to the Jinshi, they still have a future.

Zhou Zhi then thought that even if he didn't take the initiative to resign from the prince's companionship, the emperor and the queen would no longer let themselves stay in the East Palace.

"Xiaozhi walks slowly, and I have a few words to say to you for my brother." A low voice suddenly came from behind. Zhou Zhi heard clearly, it was Zhang Yongge.

Zhang Yong took two steps and walked to Zhou Zhi, and without waiting for Zhou Zhi to speak, Zhang Yong continued, "Xiao Zhi is leaving." I saw it clearly for my brother just now, and the faces of the emperor and the queen are not very bad!

As a brother, I am very worried, which may not be good for Xiaozhi's future. ”

Zhou Zhi smiled bitterly, "The matter has come to this point, it is irreparable, let it be left to its content." Zhang Yongge doesn't have to worry too much. ”

"Xiao Zhi, Brother Wei also wants to tell you that Liu Jin is not shallow in his scheming, and Xiao Zhi will try not to offend him in the future. Of course, compared with Liu Jin and Wei Bin, Xiao Zhi should guard against Wei Bin the most. Zhang Yong looked around and was sure that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice to the lowest and said.

Zhou Zhi frowned slightly, and said, "Wei Bin? Grandpa Wei? ”

"Yes, this is the man! This person is deeply hidden, very insidious, and the brother feels that he will not have good intentions towards Xiao Zhijie. I can't say that this time to lure the prince to bungee jump has nothing to do with Wei Bin. ”

Zhou Zhi was stunned for a moment, and immediately felt a sense of enlightenment.

Yes, Liu Jin once said that it was Wei Bin who gave him the idea to buy the rubber rope from the Persians. The Persians said that the rubber rope could be used for bungee jumping, but Wei Bin did not tell Liu Jin what bungee jumping was, but asked Liu Jin to ask Zhou Zhi. Then Wei Bin disappeared, saying that he was going to Shandong on business.

This seemingly inconspicuous link, unexpectedly, but hidden immediately, is actually Wei Bin's insidiousness.

Here's what happened.

But why did he offend Wei Bin? If it is said that he offended Wu Jing, Zhou Zhi is very clear about the cause of the incident. can offend Wei Bin, but he really can't think of the reason. Because in Zhou Zhi's impression, it seems that he has no intersection with Wei Bin.

Damn! People's hearts are sinister, and they may unintentionally say the wrong word or do the wrong thing, and they will offend such villains.

Thinking like this, Zhou Zhi's chest churned, but he tried his best to stabilize his mind, nodded heavily at Zhang Yong, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Brother Zhang Yong." Xiao Zhi is gone. ”

Zhang Yong nodded silently, stared at Zhou Zhi's slightly thin back, and shook his head helplessly.

After this time, Xiaozhi's status in the hearts of the emperor and queen has been greatly reduced, and Xiaozhi's future is worrying. If he wants to make a name for himself, it will be more complicated. In a word, Xiaozhi's future is a road full of thorns and bumps.

It stands to reason that it will take some time for the news from the palace to come out. But I don't know which person has a fast mouth and has a good hand and eye, as early as the news spread in the Guozijian, the emperor and the queen were furious and resigned from Zhou Zhi, the prince's companion.

The third of the four young people in the capital, Guo Xun, Liu Kaixian, and Xu Kuibi were walking around outside their residences at this time, obviously waiting for Zhou Zhi to return.

Sure enough, after Zhou Zhi walked over quickly, the three of them came up together, and first Xu Kuibi said with a surprised face, "Oh, isn't this Zhou Da's companion?" I used to come back after noon. Why did you come back so early today? Could it be that today in the East Palace, the prince doesn't care about the meal of his eldest companion? ”

Zhou Zhifu and spoke, Liu Kaixian smiled slightly, and said, "Hey, you don't know, Zhou Zhida's companion is very popular around the prince, and he says everything in front of the prince, that is, even the current saint and the queen like Zhou Zhi very much." They have all summoned Zhou Zhida's companion to read it a few times, and I will wait for a few people, alas! Compared with Zhou Daban's reading, it is beyond reach. ”

Guo Xun didn't speak, but he also smiled maliciously at Zhou Zhi. Guo Xun's father, Guo Liang, was reprimanded by the emperor for arresting Zhou Zhi's father-in-law Kou Dagang. After Guo Liang went home, he learned that Guo Xun was neither yin nor yang to Zhou Zhi, and he scolded Guo Xun several times, which made Guo Xun settle down and have some respect for Zhou Zhi.

But the good times didn't last long, and Zhou Zhi killed two relatives of the Guo family at the instigation of the crown prince Zhu Houzhao and Wei Bin, and angered Guo Liang. Guo Liang hated Zhou Zhi very much, which affected Guo Xun.

Zhou Zhi was simply dismissive of them.

Yes, it is inevitable that people will encounter this or that kind of dirty villain in their lives, if they are generally knowledgeable with villains, then they will not become villains?

Therefore, Zhou Zhi's attitude towards them is to despise them on the surface, but to value them strategically.

You know, they are the four young people in the capital, if they don't have much ability. But behind each of them is a great family power, or officialdom power. How can you not always be vigilant and deal with it carefully?

Zhou Zhi snorted coldly, then avoided them and was about to return to his residence. Unexpectedly, at this time, Liu Long suddenly ran out. Seeing Zhou Zhi, Liu Long asked with a concerned face, "Brother Zhou Zhixian, you were kicked out by the emperor and the queen, and you can't do the prince's companion to read as a brother, I just heard that the emperor and the queen didn't treat you well, right?" ”

Zhou Zhi and Boye Liu Long have a good relationship now, Liu Long seems to regard Zhou Zhi as the goal of his efforts, and takes catching up with Zhou Zhi as his life goal.

Although he also knows very well that if he wants to catch up with Zhou Zhi, I am afraid he will not be able to do it in his life. But people, you have to have a goal in life.

In a word, the current Liu Long is full of endless admiration for Zhou Zhi. So at this time, he was naturally very sympathetic to Zhou Zhi's experience.

"Oh, Liu Long, what did you just say? How? Zhou Zhi is not a prince now? You just said that he was kicked out by the emperor and the queen?

OMG! This week is really fateful, and the emperor can still get out of the way, it's amazing, it's amazing. Guo Xun, who had never spoken, said immediately.

Then the three of them laughed gloatingly for a while, laughing back and forth.
