Yuelai Inn, Tianzi Room A. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhong Yu is chatting with Gao Wan.
A few days ago, the proposal was successful, until now Zhong Yu is still in a trance, he doesn't seem to have any preparations, he already has a fiancΓ©e, and the world is really a little strange.
However, Zhong Yu thought that he had to mix with the seventh-grade civil officials before he could marry his daughter-in-law to the family, and he couldn't help but have a headache, this matter is probably quite difficult!
Seeing but not eating is undoubtedly quite painful, Zhong Yu couldn't help but sigh.
Gao Wan heard Zhong Yu sigh, and couldn't help but comfort: "Zhong Lang is worried about the three-year seven-grade positive seal covenant? Don't worry, Zhong Lang Jinke will definitely be able to go to high school! β
Zhong Yu smiled bitterly: "With the level of my scripture articles, I'm afraid it's very rare, if I take the test of poetry, maybe I still have hope, I'm afraid I have no hope for this test of the scripture article, I'm not good at doing eight-strand essays at all!" β
Gao Wan saw that Zhong Yu was depressed, and couldn't help but comfort: "It's okay, didn't we say that we asked for a signature that time, Zhong Lang didn't have to make special merits, we can get married." My father put forward the request of this seven-grade civil official, because he was afraid that I would be wronged, and he wanted to give you some pressure and motivation. You don't have to take it too seriously, I'll beg Daddy to change his mind!" β
When Zhong Yu heard Gao Wan's comfort, he couldn't help but feel a lot more cheerful, and said with a smile: "It's a big deal, let's cook raw rice and cook it to make my father-in-law comply!" β
Gao Wan said curiously: "What is raw rice cooked rice?" β
Zhong Yu smiled: "I said that you are not allowed to beat me!" β
Gao Wan remembered that she had often threatened Zhong Yu by force in the past, and she couldn't help blushing, and said coyly: "Wan'er has also read the four books of women, such as "Women's Ring" and "Internal Training", how can she beat her husband!" β
Looking at Gao Wan's shy and pleasing appearance, Zhong Yu couldn't help but secretly rejoice, it is still a feudal society, no matter how strong a woman is, once she is married, in front of her father-in-law, she has also changed from a domineering tigress to a docile kitten, Zhong Yu said with a smile: "Hehe, this raw rice is a mature meal, naturally we will round the house first, and it is best to create a little grandson for my father-in-law, so that I am not afraid that he will not agree!" β
When Gao Wan heard Zhong Yu say this, she couldn't help but widen her apricot eyes, and said in surprise: "In this way, will there be some immorality, Daddy will be furious!" Gao Wan thought about it, but said with a smile: "But if Daddy is really difficult for us, this method is not impossible, anyway, sooner or later they will be your people!" β
Wow, it turns out that women can really change! The tigress who was afraid of everyone in the past had a relationship with herself, but at this time, she was obedient to herself, and she didn't even object to her proposal to round the house first, Zhong Yu couldn't help but feel that he was hit by happiness!
However, Zhong Yu didn't feel happiness for long, and was disturbed by a visitor.
β¦β¦
The visitor is Zhu Houxi, the son of King Heng, who is serving the great eunuch Huang Jing, Zhong Yu has been in and out of the palace often recently, and he is familiar with him. Seeing Huang Jing coming to the inn to find him, he couldn't help but say strangely: "Why is Huang Gonggong here, but what is the matter with the little prince?" β
"Zhong Gongzi, the will has come to Beijing, and the father-in-law Gu who came to deliver the decree wants you to listen to the will!"
Wow, let yourself take the order? Zhong Yu was taken aback! How could the emperor give himself a small show before making a will? Could it be that there is news about the official position of the prince's companion in the palace for himself? That's impossible, a small civil official from the ninth grade, at most, is an official document under the Ministry of Literature, how can the emperor personally make a will? And the one who came to deliver the decree turned out to be a eunuch.
Zhong Yu has been in the Ming Dynasty for so long, but he knows that the kind of thing that all the will is announced by the eunuch can only be seen in later film and television dramas. In Beijing, although most of the decrees were passed on by eunuchs, very few eunuchs went out of Beijing to announce the holy decrees. In the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs generally went out of Beijing, usually by order to supervise the army, collect taxes, and purchase palace supplies. Generally, when you go out of Beijing to spread the will, it is related to which ministry and temple the matter involved in the will, and the decree is which ministry and temple have officials from the yamen. This eunuch came out of Beijing to deliver the decree, Zhong Yu was really confused, it is said that even if there is a holy decree appointing himself as a royal companion, the people from the ministry should come to pass the decree.
However, Zhong Yu thought about it, I am afraid that the emperor has a will for King Heng, so he sent a eunuch to pass the decree, and by the way, he gave himself the decree.
"Dare to ask Gonggong Huang, what is this will?"
Huang Jing smiled bitterly: "How does this old slave know?" Father-in-law Gu is still waiting, Zhong Gongzi should go with the old slave quickly! β
Zhong Yu had to let Gao Wan go back first, and he followed Steward Zhu to the palace in a hurry.
β¦β¦
In front of the Hengwang Mansion carrier, the incense case has been placed.
At this time, Gu Gonggong, who came from the capital, was holding a scroll of black horn scrolls and a holy decree written in white silk brocade, standing beside the incense case, and sixteen forbidden army warriors with helmets and armor stood on both sides, holding their hands on their waists and swords without squinting.
The holy decree of the black horn shaft and the white silk brocade is generally used to give orders to relatively low-level officials, and naturally it is not for His Royal Highness King Heng. The emperor's will to reward King Heng has been read out by Gonggong Gu. The decree issued to His Royal Highness King Heng was written on a jade shaft and Ming Huang Ayajin. His Royal Highness King Heng's will has been received, and the holy decree has been put away by King Heng.
At this time, this Gu Gonggong won the Black Horn Shaft Holy Decree, which was naturally issued to Zhong Yu, and he was waiting for Zhong Yu's arrival.
When Zhong Yu walked into the carrier door, the servants of the palace stepped forward to inform Grandpa Gu.
Gu Gonggong glanced up at Zhong Yu and said in a duck-like voice: "There is a will, Yidu Xiucai Zhong Yu stepped forward to listen to the will!" β
Zhong Yu was busy following the etiquette of receiving the order asked by Huang Jingna on the road, and knelt down to listen to the order.
The father-in-law Gu unfolded the holy decree in his hand and read it aloud: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: I have heard: Three generations of winning the world also lies in winning the people." The people are the foundation of the country. The ancient sages have clouds: the road is also the world. He is the old people, the lord of the country, the son of heaven has the world on behalf of the people, and he is the king, who stresses faith and harmony, and selects talents and ......"
Gu Gonggong read this literary and holy decree in a low tone, but Zhong Yu really didn't understand what he said, and it took a long time for Gu Gonggong to read the topic: "I read the recital of Heng Wang's brother, and I heard that Zhong Yu is both virtuous and capable, and he has been very fruitful in teaching Wang Shizi." Today's prince, smart and studious, I mean, Xuan Zhongyu entered Beijing, let the prince read, and set off on the same day after hearing the edict, without delay, Qin this. July 18, 17th year of Hongji. β
In the end, these few sentences were written in layman's terms, and Zhong Yu finally understood that the holy decree was not to appoint himself as the prince of Hengwangfu to accompany him, but to enter Beijing as the prince's attendant.
Zhong Yu couldn't help but be a little confused, where is this? How did he somehow become a prince to read, it seems to be ...... It seems that he has been promoted, and this prince's attendant should definitely be older than the palace companion. But isn't this prince of the Hongzhi Dynasty the Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao? It is said that this Zhu Houzhao is a super stubborn lord, and the holy decree says that the prince is smart and studious, I'm afraid it's pure nonsense!
Although he has been promoted, this prince is studying, I'm afraid it's not easy to do!
Zhong Yu thought about it for a while, and forgot about receiving the order, and when Gu Gonggong saw that he was still kneeling there blankly, he said in a low voice: "Zhong Gongzi, don't you want to receive the order and thank you?" β
Zhong Yu came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly shouted: "Xiaomin Zhong Yu receives the decree and thanks", and he took the holy decree from Gu Gonggong's hand with both hands.
Gu Gong's bus issued a holy decree, and immediately accepted the demeanor of being high above and looking down on all beings, and said to Zhong Yu with a pleasant face: "Zhong Gongzi get up quickly, hehe, our Gu is a big use, and he is also a slave around the prince, and Zhong Gongzi will serve the prince in the future, so we have to be more close." β
"Gu Dayong?" Zhong Yu couldn't help but say in surprise.
Gu Gonggong blinked and said strangely: "What, Zhong Gongzi has heard of our family's name?" β
Zhong Yu nodded, he didn't know what to say, he was full of emotion in his heart, and he took the holy decree and took it up. Since he said that he is the eunuch who serves by the prince's side now, it is Gu Dayong among the famous "Eight Tigers" in history. This Gu Dayong's status in the Zhengde Dynasty is no less than that of Liu Jin, the head of the Eight Tigers, and he has always competed with Liu Jin for favor, and he is also a powerful eunuch. Unexpectedly, when I came to the Ming Dynasty, the first celebrity I met who would be remembered in history by future generations was a powerful eunuch.
Gu Dayong saw Zhong Yu nodding, and said happily: "Our family serves the prince on weekdays, and it is difficult to return to Beijing once, there are few people who know the name of our family, I can't imagine that Zhong Gongzi has heard of me, hehe, sure enough, Xiucai knows the world without going out." Gu Dayong's current position is low, because he usually has no opportunity to come out to do errands, but this time the holy decree is related to the prince, and Gu Dayong is the eunuch who serves by the prince's side, so he won this errand.
Zhong Yu saw that this Gu Dayong had a chubby round face, crooked eyebrows and crooked eyes, and was born with a smiling face, which made people feel that this person was a little amiable at first glance, and he spoke with a smile and no arrogance, although he knew that he would also be a powerful eunuch in the future, but now he couldn't feel bad for him, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law is too modest, my father-in-law's name is like thunder, how can I not know it!" "This is not nonsense, later generations really know that this is the great eunuch who is in charge of the Zhengde Dynasty and the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the Admiral of the West Factory, and the power of the government and the opposition.
Gu Dayong said with a smile: "Zhong Gongzi is really good at talking. The holy decree is that Gongzi should enter Beijing as soon as possible, and Gongzi will go back to prepare, and the things that should be explained and done will be arranged, and we will leave for Beijing early tomorrow morning. The holy decree said that Zhong Yu would enter Beijing on the same day, but Gu Dayong knew that there was a sudden will, and Zhong Yu was afraid that he would be caught off guard, so he left him half a day to arrange the matter at hand. Of course, he came from the capital, and he was tired all the way to the saddle horse, and he also needed to rest.
"Thank you father-in-law for being considerate, that ...... Today is in a hurry, I have not prepared a gift, and tomorrow I have my own mind! β
Gu Dayong was originally afraid that Zhong Yu was the kind of sour and rotten literati, and the literati looked down on the eunuchs a little, but at this time, seeing that Zhong Yu did not show any guilt to his status as a eunuch, he couldn't help but be happy, and said with a smile at the moment: "Zhong Gongzi doesn't have to be polite!" β
β¦β¦
The palace had its own servants who led Gonggong Liu and a group of forbidden warriors to settle down, and Zhong Yu was led into the side hall of the carrier hall by the servants sent by Zhu Youyi.
When Zhong Yu came in, he found that Zhu Houxian was also there.
Zhu Youyi smiled and said: "I wanted to protect your errand as a companion of the palace, but when the king played the watch, he really praised you for teaching Xi'er and making clairvoyance, but I didn't expect to be taken by the royal brother to take a fancy to your ability." Hehe, this king originally planned to promote you in the future, so it's okay, and being the prince's companion can be regarded as a good future. The prince and Sui'er, a pair of cousins, alas, are the same smart, but they don't need to study the same, after entering Beijing, you have to guide the prince well, you are the person who is the king's protector, don't embarrass the king! β
"Zhong Yu has thanked the prince for his love, and the prince's kindness is unforgettable!"
"Go, cherish yourself! You still have a lot of things to arrange today, and this king will not keep you! β
β¦β¦
When Zhong Yu walked out of the carrying hall, the little prince Zhu Houxi chased him out.
Zhu Houxie's face was a little bitter: "Master, you're going to enter Beijing, can't you teach me the nameless boxing technique anymore?" β
Zhong Yu looked at Zhu Houxie and said seriously: "For the teacher's nameless fist, the most important thing is to build a foundation, you remember the master's previous teachings, learn the four books and five classics in a solid manner, and practice the foundation well, and the master will come back to teach you the follow-up method of bone training!" β
Zhu Houxie said with earnest eyes: "Master, you must remember to take the time to come back and teach me!" β
"Don't worry, the teacher will definitely come back!" Zhong Yu said in his heart, just to marry his daughter-in-law, he has to come back.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Houxi spoke: "You are going to be an attendant to the prince's brother, will you teach the prince's brother nameless boxing?" β
Zhong Yu said in his heart: The prince is fourteen years old, how can he be so easy to deceive, how dare he take out his nameless fist to make people laugh.
At that moment, Zhong Yu smiled and said: "You are a retreat disciple for the teacher, and the teacher will not accept any more apprentices!" β
"Hey, that's good! Brother Prince is known as an invincible opponent in Jiangbei, much more powerful than my invincible opponent in Shandong, I also want to learn to defeat Brother Prince one day, master, you have to talk! β
"Don't worry, speak for the teacher!"
