Chapter Seventy-Five: The Little Prince
"Good poetry, wonderful poetry, rare and rare......"
A white and chubby young man hurriedly walked over, he didn't look very old, he looked good, he was very energetic, but he was too fat, with an admiring look on his face, wearing a plain brocade robe, and behind him, he was followed by several guards.
The people around Su Tiancheng all saluted when they saw the young man, and even a few girls in the pavilion stood up.
"Meet the little prince."
Su Tiancheng suddenly realized that this young man was Zhu Xianxuan, the son of the Jin dynasty.
The prince has many concubines and children, and if they all want to be crowned king, it is not very likely.
The prince of the Ming Dynasty is divided into two categories, one is the prince, the most noble, the rank is the first product, awarded the Guanglu doctor, and the second is the county king, the rank is the second grade, and the senior doctor.
There is also a difference between the titles of the prince and the county king, the title of the prince has only one word, such as Zhu Qiugui, the king of Jin, and the title of the county king is two words, such as Zhu Cunkou, the king of Yongshou.
The prince can only be the emperor's son and brother, can be sealed, the title is hereditary, that is to say, the eldest son of the prince, after the death of the prince, was named the prince, as for the son of the concubine, generally named the king of the county, there are also courtiers who have made great contributions, and are named the king of the county, such as Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, and the king of Kaiping, Chang Yuchun, their titles cannot be hereditary.
There is also a special circumstance here, that is, if the prince has no son, after his death, the younger brother can inherit the title of the prince, but this kind of side branch of the prince, starting from the Jiajing period, the son can not be named the prince of the county, nor can he inherit the title of the prince, but according to the prince's previous title, demoted to the title.
Zhu Xianxuan is the eldest son of Zhu Qiugui, the king of Jin, and it is only a matter of time before he is named a prince.
Seeing the prospective prince for the first time, Su Tiancheng was a little curious, in his impression, the prince was all high.
The necessary etiquette is still indispensable, Su Tiancheng hugged his fists and saluted Zhu Xianxuan, he is a person with merit and fame, unless he sees the emperor, there is no need to kneel.
Zhu Xianxuan had already walked to his side, stretched out his hand, and grabbed him.
Zhu Xianxuan's hands are also chubby, and his face is still innocent.
"Su Tiancheng, Su Gongzi, Township Test Xie Yuan, you are really powerful."
Looking at Zhu Xianxuan's reverent expression, Su Tiancheng couldn't laugh or cry, it seems that this quasi-Jin king still has a child's heart, it seems that this prince is not a big deal.
"The little prince has praised it, but he doesn't dare to be it."
"Master Su, don't be so polite, let's go, I'll take you to the mansion to take a look around. Little sister, I'm sorry to disturb your poetry meeting. ”
Zhu Xianxuan squeezed his eyebrows at Zhu Xianxin, and pulled Su Tiancheng away, strangely, Zhu Xianxin didn't say anything, and nodded with a red face.
Su Tiancheng had already felt Zhu Xianxuan's sincerity and casualness, without the slightest arrogance, as a quasi-prince, it was not easy to have such an attitude, no matter what the purpose was.
This Zhu Xianxuan, Chongzhen was named the king of Jin in the eighth year, and later Li Zicheng broke through Taiyuan Mansion and was brought to the capital by Li Zicheng, and then surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and received preferential treatment in the early days, but the ending was very bad, and he was abandoned by the Qing court during the Shunzhi period.
Following Zhu Xianxuan, he was still a little annoyed, and the key was to hold the plate with one hand.
"Master Su, guests are not allowed to feast in the house, I have prepared a wine banquet, we will have a drink in a while, this is a gift from my little sister to you, I'll see what it is."
Regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, Zhu Xianxuan uncovered the Jinpa, and inside the plate, there was a jade ruyi.
"Oh, it's not simple, this jade Ruyi was given to my little sister by my father, and I gave it to you."
Zhu Xianxuan's attention began to focus on Jinpa.
"This brocade handkerchief, but the little sister herself embroidered it, carry it with her, and embroider the name of the little sister on it."
No matter how stupid Su Tiancheng is, he understands the meaning.
"This is all the love of the county lord, I can't afford it."
"Cut, Master Su, I don't think you're very old, why do you speak so literately, here is the two of us talking, feel free, I'm afraid of the people in Changshi Mansion, you always speak in such a tone on weekdays."
Su Tiancheng blinked, he didn't know how to speak, if he was too casual, he would annoy the little prince, and it would be difficult to round the field.
Zhu Xianxuan saw that Su Tiancheng was a little overwhelmed, with a wicked smile on his face.
"Master Su, it seems that the little sister is a little interesting, what is your opinion?"
"This, this ......"
Su Tiancheng couldn't wait to kick Zhu Xianxuan, you are looking for a husband for your sister, you don't have to be in such a hurry, I may not plagiarize a poem, you will marry my sister to me, if I continue to plagiarize in the future, a poem with a wife, it is estimated that there are more wives than the emperor.
"Master Su, it's wrong for you to do this, if you hurt my little sister's heart, I won't have a good time here, how about it, give me a good word, okay or not."
It's really a gecko on the wall.
"This, little prince, do you want to hear the truth or lie?"
"Of course it's to listen to the truth, it's funny, you tell me what a lie is first."
"Then I'll tell a lie first, don't blame the little prince."
"Where is so much nonsense, come on, I'll see Xie Yuanlang's lies, what level is it."
Su Tiancheng has a heart, it seems that this Zhu Xianxuan is still very interesting.
"The county lord is clear and jade, Xiaosheng admires it, if he can get the favor of the county lord, Sansheng is lucky, Xiaosheng is willing to be in harmony with the county lord, he is willing to be a winged bird in the sky, and he is willing to be a branch in the ground."
Zhu Xianxuan also blinked.
"Master Su, your lie sounds good."
"Nonsense, lies are not good, what else is good."
blurted out this sentence, Su Tiancheng was a little worried, whether Zhu Xianxuan would lose his temper or be unhappy.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Xianxuan, who was chubby, nodded, very recognized.
"That's right, this lie is really good, so tell me, what is the truth."
"The words of the matchmaker of the parents, how dare I make the decision casually in this marriage event."
Zhu Xianxuan frowned.
"It's dry, it's not interesting, it's better to listen to lies."
"Little prince, don't think so, the person who can tell you the truth is a real friend, otherwise, everyone will fool you with lies, you don't know anything, and you will suffer a loss in the end."
"Loyal words are against the ear, good medicine is bitter, I know this truth, but I think the lie is good."
Su Tiancheng was speechless, it seems that this quasi-Jin king is still a half-old child.
It's no wonder that he looks at it this way, the vassal kings in other places are not allowed to participate in politics, and what can they get into contact with on their own one-third of an acre of land, especially the eldest son of this kind of concubine, he will not encounter threats from above, let alone understand the sinister way of the world, and the human feelings are cold, and it is accurate to say that they are innocent and innocent, and that they are ignorant of the world.
"Master Su, you have to tell the truth in front of me."
Su Tiancheng nodded, the child is teachable, and it is not a rotten wood.
The palace is very large, Su Tiancheng followed Zhu Xianxuan, walked in front, many guards, walked behind, the two talked while walking, the attitude was very intimate, if outsiders saw it, they must think that the relationship between the two was very good. As for the gift given to Su Tiancheng by the county lord, the guards had already helped to take it.
"Master Su, I really envy you."
"Little prince is clothed and fed, life is worry-free, what do you envy me for, think about it, next year I will go to the capital, participate in the examination, and continue to review my homework, these four books and five classics, I am tired of reading, but there is no way, for life."
"Alas, you don't know the way, I've grown so big, I haven't gone out alone, I used to follow my father to the capital, and I was also sitting in the carriage, and I was not allowed to look outside, if you don't believe it, I have been to the capital, and I haven't been to the rest of the places, and a group of people from the Changshi Division have always taught me to pay attention to my words and deeds, and I am not allowed to act rashly, I want to be able to participate in the imperial examination, and I can travel around."
"Little prince, what you gain must be lost, you can't have both, since you are a descendant of the royal family, your own behavior is naturally restricted, compared to us ordinary people, you are happy enough."
"Master Su, if you have the chance, let's go out and travel together, what do you think."
"Little prince, don't think so, where am I qualified to travel with you."
"Alas, that's what I'm saying, I've long wanted to be able to go out to see it, but unfortunately I didn't have such an opportunity, I asked many people, but I didn't dare to go out with me, and you are the same."
"You can't blame others, it's really comfortable to travel out of Lu, it's definitely more comfortable than going to the house, the key is that no one dares to travel with you."
"Hmph, I'm not afraid of anything you dare, are you still afraid?"
"Of course you are not afraid, it is a big deal to be told by the governor of the palace, but the people who follow out of Lu will be in trouble, and if you don't do it well, you will be in prison, who can bear such a blow, at least I can't."
"Ha Lu Ha ......"
Zhu Xianxuan suddenly laughed.
Su Tiancheng looked at Zhu Xianxuan and felt inexplicable.
"It's worthy of Xie Yuanlang, I finally understand the feeling of telling the truth, I used to talk about the things that Lu went to travel, and the people who talked to me either said a big thing, or said that it was hard to travel, but I didn't dare to say that I would be implicated, you are refreshing enough, the truth that fish and bear's paws can't have both, I also know the Tao, it's very interesting to listen to you, we are like acquaintances at first sight."
Looking at Zhu Xianxuan, who is always happy, Su Tiancheng didn't know what to say, he was born in a rich nest, most of the people around him were women, and they accepted unusual love, but they were also managed to death, this can't be done, that can't be thought, this kind of life looks very wonderful, but if you taste it, it really doesn't mean anything, it seems to be living for the sake of living.
