Chapter 109: Face and Reputation?
How can it come, blindly avoiding it can't be avoided, even if it's just a formality, it must go.
This is the way the Chinese do things!
As expected, the next day, Uncle Zhang personally drove to Zhu Zilong's palace.
For ordinary suspects and witnesses, Lord Zhang naturally only needs to send someone to summon him, even if it is some rich second generation, and the second generation of officials is the same. However, Zhu Zilong is the prince after all, and he is also the second prince of the emperor.
The contemporary prince, who was officially canonized as the king of the county, could only come to the door in person. Because the grade is much higher than Uncle Zhang's, even if there is no real power!
Even the aspect of the questioning should not be too obvious. Only hints!
-
Hearing that Uncle Zhang was visiting at night, Zhu Zilong also came out early and changed into a set of clean clothes. Go out and greet as a sign of respect.
Uncle Zhang was originally a Kaifeng person, and Song Huizong was born in the middle of the Daguan year, and served as the right secretary of the Wailang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the straight bachelor of Longtu Pavilion. Historically, the Song River Rebellion was suppressed. In the difficulty of Jingkang, he led the army to defend Bianliang City, and after the defeat, he was taken captive by the Jin State with Song Qinzong, and hanged himself on the way.
This is an official who is very similar to Bao Heizi, of course, Bao Heizi himself has not actually done much great things.
Bao Zheng has made great achievements in rectifying the rule of officials, paying attention to production, consolidating national defense, promoting talents and appointing talents, and asking for life for the people. But other than that, it's average. The shaping and propagation of Bao Zheng's image, originated from the Song Dynasty and flourished in the Yuan Dynasty's Bao Gong opera, from the Ming and Qing dynasties to modern times, continuous development, innovation, and deep love of the people.
In other words, in the words of modern people, it is the hype of the current situation that has made a celebrity.
He has both political and military positions, as well as civilian positions, and even idle positions, and has also served as an advisor. Bao Zheng can be famous for a hundred years, I am afraid that the main reason is that he is upright and honest, and he is high-spirited.
And Uncle Zhang, in Zhu Zilong's view, is also the inheritance of Bao Heizi's eight-character policy of doing things, upright, honest, and high-spirited!
For Zhu Zilong, perhaps the biggest regret is that Bao Heizi died on July 3, 1062, and he traveled through the present. Master Bao has been dead for N years, and he can't see his true face.
Portraits and the like, no matter how you draw them, and if they are not cameras, there will be distortions.
The only thing that made Zhu Zilong understand was that there was no crescent moon mark on Lord Bao's head, and his skin was not dark. Not only is it not dark, but judging from the portrait, he is still a beautiful man.
Only less handsome than him! (Ma Dan, another one more handsome than himself.) )
The Song Dynasty paid great attention to manners, and if you want to have a crescent moon on your face, you will be a monster, and you will be able to choke whether you can be an official. In the 21st century, the diplomatic profession will not recruit people with hemorrhoids on their faces.
It's just that I heard that Lord Bao's expression has always been very serious and majestic, and he likes to elongate a black face expression, so there is a saying that he has a black face. Over time, it becomes distorted!
-
Uncle Zhang did not wear an official uniform, but wore a regular uniform, and the hint of this subtext was even more obvious, and Zhu Zilong settled down on the spot.
"Xiao Wang, I've seen Fuzun." Zhu Zilong bowed.
According to the memory given by the main god, Lao Zhang worked as a substitute teacher for temporary guests when several princes were young. Although he is not an official prince teacher, temporary workers also have human rights.
Zhu Zilong faced him and took half of the disciple's gifts, which would only show that he was knowledgeable and courteous, and would not fall behind.
"The prince is polite, don't dare." Uncle Zhang is also a return gift.
"Fuzun is still a rare guest, please come in and sit down, come, serve tea." Zhu Zilong continued to greet him with a smile, only the way to be a man, but also because he was a little weak-hearted.
After the two entered, while drinking tea, they began to talk about poetry for a while, and talk about state affairs for a while. It's a bit of a friend talking!
This way of chatting without going directly to the point is a natural habit of Chinese, especially above officialdom.
During the chat, Zhu Zilong gradually couldn't keep up with his rhythm.
After all, he is just taking the systematic memory of the doctrine. It's easy to make a lot of mistakes when you talk too much, and you can only use all kinds of laughs, excuses, and change the topic later. However, fortunately, Uncle Zhang himself felt that there was no need to talk nonsense.
So, he took the initiative to start the topic to yesterday's Qinglou incident.
Of course, Zhu Zilong would not take the initiative to put forward his tainted attitude, but just answered himself as a good citizen who reported in time. Of course, Uncle Zhang will definitely not believe it.
It's one thing to just believe or not to believe, and it's another thing to say it or not.
In the end, Zhu Zilong felt that they were almost transparent to each other. He said: "Fuzun, what happened yesterday, it was better to turn big things into small things, and small things to turn them into small things!" ”
"Oh, come on. Why? Uncle Zhang's eyes lit up at night, thinking that you finally couldn't hold your breath.
"Is it necessary to elaborate? Matters related to Master Li and the official family, but if there is a slight adverse influence, we must try to make it as big as possible. Otherwise, not only will the reputation of the official family and the royal family be damaged, but the reputation of the Lord who wants to come to the mansion will also be damaged! ”
Uncle Zhang's eyes rolled at night, and he smiled back: "What the prince said has some truth, but it seems to have forgotten that it is not only the old man and the official family whose reputation has been damaged, if this matter spreads, it seems that the prince is also damaged, are you not afraid?" ”
The corners of Zhu Zilong's mouth twitched, and he replied proudly: "Let the mansion raise love, do you think I, the prince of Kaifeng City, one of the ten evil young people, need face and fame, this kind of thing?" How much are they worth? ”
Uncle Zhang was speechless, choking on a mouthful of tea in his throat, almost unable to swallow it.
This TM is the essential difference between hooligans and young intellectuals.
One is to value their own reputation and want to leave a name in history and live for generations. For this reason, I don't pay much attention to how my standard of living is. Completely high on yourself, everything according to the standards of a quasi-saint. Even if something that can't see the sun happens to you, you must cover it to death!
One is to only value the practical benefits, and ask for good food, good sleep, and good play. How cool it is, Yagen doesn't care about what happened before and after, as well as all kinds of rumors.
A festival is full, and a festival is like a floating cloud on the horizon, and when it is blown lightly, it disappears without a trace.

After taking a deep breath, the depressed Zhang Shuye decided to find a place from other breakthroughs.
"It's good to seek differences, not to do things and not to people, but for the sake of a gentleman. The prince was just unwilling to be a gentleman, and the official had no choice but to follow suit. Maybe in some aspects, the prince sees more clearly than me, but it is not true. But ......" Uncle Zhang suddenly changed his words.
Well, Zhu Zilong knows that the real character is coming, and the Chinese like to talk like this in officialdom, first raise and then suppress. Praise you first, and then the one who kills will be happier.
"Lord Wang, have you ever thought that your shop has recently purchased such a large amount of oil, lard, and all kinds of oilseeds, causing the price of oil to soar tenfold, and the people have already suffered?" Uncle Zhang said with a solemn face.
Zhu Zilong's face immediately changed a few times. No more smiles!
