It is a skill to be able to pretend to understand without knowing anything, and not to be seen through.

It is also a skill to be able to pretend that you don't understand everything and be accepted.

Zhu Di knew that Zhou Xing understood the purpose of his coming today. Similarly, Zhou Xing's answer also made Zhu Di understand that Zhou Xing is a smart person.

Seeing through it is not to say that it is technology and art.

At Zhou Xing's age, to have such an awareness, Zhu Di feels that this is a good seedling that can be cultivated.

As everyone knows, Zhou Xing has already seen these routines in various film and television dramas, and what he lacks is just a little bit of guts.

"Haha, this king is neither measuring words nor looking at his appearance today, but he just came to you for a drink."

Zhu Di pointed to a huge bamboo slip hanging on the wall and said, "Listen to the shopkeeper, this "Song of the Peach Blossom Temple" was written by you?" ”

In this short period of time, this Taoxian Restaurant has been rearranged according to Zhou Xing's meaning.

On the wall facing the gate, the bamboo slips of the Qin and Han dynasties were magnified many times, and the "Song of the Peach Blossom Temple" was written and placed on the wall.

Zhou Xing replied with peace of mind: "Exactly." ”

Zhu Di laughed and said, "I hope that the old man will die in the wine room, and he will not bow in front of the carriage." Do you think that instead of running around and toiling for the sake of glory and wealth, it is better to live happily in the flower and wine room? ”

Listening to his tone of interrogation and investigation, Zhou Xing suddenly chuckled in his heart.

What's more, when I decided to plagiarize this poem, it was purely a feeling, who would have thought that one day it would be tortured as evidence?

Zhou Xing was a little worried, this Zhu Di didn't want to promote himself, and then saw the artistic conception of indifference to fame and fortune in this poem, so he dispelled this idea, right?

Don't, my Yan Wang is big, I'm just writing casually, I can't take it seriously. Or do I confess that I didn't write it?

Zhou Xing is extremely depressed, this thing, don't be misunderstood, I still yearn for glory and wealth.

"Haha, His Royal Highness King Yan, you know, sometimes, I'm poor, I'll write something like this. In fact, the main reason is poverty. If you give me a large sum of money, I promise not to dislike it, and if you give me an official to be a pawn, I have no reason to refuse. I don't think anyone would say no. The so-called cynicism is just mixing up unsatisfactory in the world. ”

Zhou Xing said this sentence in a joking tone, not only to clarify himself, but also to probe Zhu Di's tone. At the same time, he is telling the truth.

Do you think that a scholar is noble? Scholars just don't bend their waists for five buckets of rice? Reading is to cultivate temperament?

Actually, it's not, studying is to have the opportunity to make a lot of money in the future and become a big official, that's all. How many people really read for the sake of reading?

At least Zhou Xing felt that he was not.

"Haha......" Zhou Xing's words made Zhu Di laugh. Zhou Xing's frankness not only did not arouse Zhu Di's disgust, but made his eyes shine.

This Zhou Xing is indeed an interesting person. Smart and interesting, Zhu Di feels that there is a lack of such talents around him.

"As you say, what is written in this poem, is it possible that the CD cannot be counted?" Zhu Di asked.

Zhou Xing shook his head slightly, and said: "That's not it, in this poem, it is written that the heartstrings of being an official are tense all day long, it is better to drink wine and live in seclusion, this is what I think." ”

Zhu Di smiled and said, "If you want to be happy and happy, and you want to be prosperous and rich, how can there be such a good thing in this world?" ”

Even if it's an emperor's family, there is no such good thing. Zhu Di thought to himself.

Zhou Xing also laughed at himself and said, "It's really not." That's why there are people in this world who sell wine, some people sing operas, some people herd sheep, and some people farm the land. Everyone wants to be prosperous and rich, and they are striving for glory and wealth in their own way. No matter what you do, the purpose is the same."

This indirectly representation of "professional equality" is naturally contrary to the status quo of the Ming Dynasty. Even Yao Guangxiao, a Buddhist behind Zhu Di who believes in "equality of all beings", does not think so. Not to mention the superiority of officials, among those who are not officials, agriculture is fundamental, so the status of peasants is second only to that of officials. Eating is a major life event, so the farmers who provide food should be ranked at the highest level. The second is the craftsmen who provide a house to live in and clothes to wear. Merchants are the most inferior professions.

Why is it said that businessmen are inferior? Because everyone thinks that businessmen do not farm land, they all rely on buying and selling to make money, and there is a suspicion of opportunism. And doing business is very profitable, which will attract a large number of farmers to participate. The peasants are all in business, so isn't there no one to farm? Farmers don't farm, what do those big families eat?

Therefore, in all dynasties, the status of merchants is not high, and this is the case. In order to prevent the peasants from abandoning the land as non-businessmen, the profession was devalued and many restrictions were added. In Zhou Xing's view, it is the same as Zhu Yuanzhang's practice of prohibiting the use of iron pots by the people because he was worried that the nomads would use steel to make weapons.

However, these are not things that Zhou Xing can change, and he has no idea of changing all of this now. He is a poor ghost, and he has to change the world, Zhou Xing doesn't feel that he is so noble.

At this moment, the shopkeeper Huang walked over with a pot of hot wine in his hand. Huang Simao was holding a tray in his hand, in which there were several plates of food.

Zhu Di's aura made the shopkeeper Huang and Huang Simao not dare to stay by the side for a long time, hurriedly put down the things in their hands, and retreated far away.

"Taoxian wine, hehe......" Zhu Di held the wine jug in his hand, muttered, and was about to pour the wine, but Yao Guangxiao took a step forward and said, "Lord Wang, slow down." ”

He took an extra silver needle out of his hand, put it in the wine and shook it, pulled it out, examined it carefully, and then stepped away.

Silver needle test poison, Zhou Xing has seen a lot in film and television dramas.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Di said to Zhou Xing: "This king plans to take you to the capital." ”

Zhou Xing's eyes suddenly lit up.

I've done so much myself, pretending to be a fortune teller, aren't you just waiting for this sentence? In a few years, King Yan will be the emperor, is there anything more promising than following the future emperor?

Despite the turmoil in his heart, Zhou Xing still maintained due restraint on the surface. And he doesn't think it's just a simple sentence.

He bowed his hand and said, "King Yan ordered, the grass people are ......"

Without waiting for Zhou Xing to finish speaking, Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Don't say that, are you going or not?" ”

His tone was so resolute that there was no way to refuse. This is the shrewd, capable, heroic and resolute His Royal Highness King Yan!

As long as it is the person he likes, no matter where he comes from, no matter where he comes from, he can use it.

Zhou Xing deeply realized this. This is the Yongle Emperor who will say nothing in the future, and this is the Yan King Zhu Di who created the Yongle Prosperous Era!

Zhu Di's resolute tone and unquestionable resolute order made Zhou Xing's palms feel a little sweaty.

His brain was spinning rapidly, trying his best to use the memories of the Ming Dynasty in his mind to analyze Zhu Di's intentions. He was not carried away by the sudden happiness. He knew that this could be the beginning of his prosperity and wealth, and it could also be the beginning of his own catastrophe.

Why did Zhu Di decide this matter so simply? It certainly won't be just a poem or a few sentences. You know, he is an emperor who has left a strong mark on history. According to statistics, from 221 B.C. when Ying Zheng was proclaimed emperor to 1916 A.D., when "Emperor Hongxian" Yuan Shikai had to abolish the imperial system, in these 2,137 years, there were 422 emperors in China.

It was impossible for such a resourceful emperor to convince Zhou Xing that he was just deciding on something like this.

Therefore, Zhou Xing is analyzing, what factors did Zhu Di want, or what considerations, did he want to take himself into the capital?

The hidden dragon and crouching tiger in the capital, the slightest carelessness may lead to death, Zhou Xing felt that he had to explore the purpose of Zhu Di's decision. He didn't want to be sold by Zhu Di in a daze.

What a contradictory animal a human being, he was bent on getting mixed up with Zhu Di before, but now he finally took that decisive step, and he began to think about it again, suspicious and suspicious.

Before, Zhou Xing didn't think of Yao Guangxiao, and felt that he could be a strategist by the side of Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

But now, Zhou Xing doesn't know what his identity will be if he follows King Yan.

Family? Scholar? This is not what Zhou Xing wants.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Xing didn't have a clue, he simply had a horizontal heart, bit his silver teeth, and said: "Since the prince has a life, the grass people dare not disobey." ”

No matter what kind of conspiracy he has, through a lifetime, at most a good head! Young people, don't dare to think, don't dare to fight, what's the point of living?

After making this decision, Zhou Xing's heart also breathed a long sigh of relief, since he has embarked on this path, he doesn't care about what will happen in the future.

"Haha, okay. Let's go, go back with me. Zhu Di drank all the wine in the cup, stood up, and walked outside.

Yao Guangxiao glanced at Zhou Xing deeply, turned around, quickly chased after Zhu Di, and followed.

Zhou Xing walked last.

He was still thinking about what kind of character he was now, and what was Zhu Di's purpose in doing this.

Not wanting to understand, he felt like he wouldn't be able to sleep.

After some exchanges, he felt that although Zhu Di could still bring him a huge sense of oppression, this sense of oppression came from his identity and the majesty of the superior over time. But this can't explain why Zhu Di made up his mind so quickly.

A commoner, directly upgraded to become the person next to the prince of real power, can be regarded as a step to the sky. Such a good thing always makes people feel unreal.

Leaving Taoxian Restaurant, Zhu Di stepped on his tall horse, Zhou Xing and Yao Guangxiao, who could only follow left and right, and also rode horses. After an hour, they returned to the Yanwang Mansion. What makes Zhou Xing himself feel strange is that he is no stranger to horseback riding.
