283 The envy of the prince
Dongxing Building in Runing City is one of the best high-end restaurants in the city, and people who come and go every day are either rich or expensive. The shopkeeper in the restaurant has already developed a sharp eye, as long as he looks at the person's entourage and momentum, he can guess whether the person is an official or a businessman, and the official is a few products and how rich the business is.
However, at noon that day, the shopkeeper made a big mistake, he actually stopped the distinguished guests invited by the prince outside the door and interrogated him for half an hour. It wasn't until he said a few degrading words to the distinguished guest without knowing how seriously he was slapped by the young distinguished guest that he realized how much of a mistake he had made, and he actually looked away from the attendant who came from the stable.
"Master Su is light and simple, no wonder the snobbish dogs below can't recognize your true face." Zhu Changjin, the prince of Chongwang, sat at the top of the wine table and said to Su Hao in a mocking tone.
Su Hao smiled and said, "Let the prince laugh." In fact, Su didn't want to teach him a lesson, but this guy looked down on people and actually said dirty words like letting Su go back to feed, so Su could only teach him a lesson for his father. ”
"Bachelor Su has just arrived, and the merchants in Runing City don't know you yet, so you should come out in official uniforms." Zhu Changjin suggested.
"Didn't the prince say that this is just a private banquet, and it looks raw in official clothes." Su Hao said.
Zhu Changjin nodded, picked up the wine glass, and greeted: "What Master Su said is very true, come on, come on, this is the local brew of Runing, although it is not a famous wine, but it also has a unique taste, this son of the world first respects Master Su."
Su Hao hurriedly stood up, also held the cup in his hand, and said, "How dare you, it's better for Su to respect the prince first."
"It's okay, let's do it together." Zhu Changjin waved his hand, motioned for Su Hao to sit down, and then clinked glasses with Su Hao, and the two of them drank it all.
There was a big table, and only two people, Zhu Changjin and Su Hao, were seated. The prince set up a private banquet to entertain Mr. Su, and idlers are not qualified to serve at the table. Both of them each brought some entourage, and at the beginning of the banquet, they were driven to other rooms by Zhu Changjin, and there were only two little girls in charge of pouring wine in the room, who looked not very old, and they should not understand what they were saying.
Su Hao didn't know what Zhu Changjin's purpose was for inviting him to drink. He didn't bother to inquire, just drank wine in a big bowl and ate meat in large pieces. The king of the Ming Dynasty sounds very powerful, but in fact he has no power and no power, and he has no say in the affairs of officialdom, and the officials have always been respectful to the vassal king. But inwardly he didn't think so.
The two of them chatted while eating, and the content of the conversation was nothing more than a matter of flowers and snow. Although poor Zhu Changjin is a noble prince and has a lot of furniture, he has never left the ground of Runing. Occasionally, there are several times a year when you go out of the city to sweep the tombs or go out, all of which have to be reported to Runing Mansion, not to mention going to visit the mountains and rivers and enjoy the beautiful rivers and mountains. When listening to Su Hao talk about the customs and customs of Jiangxi, Banzhou, Huai'an and other places. Zhu Changjin's eyes clearly showed a bit of envy.
"Alas, Master Su, I'm afraid you don't believe it, although I am a prince, I envy your background." Zhu Changjin said with resentment.
"The prince laughed, in the words of the Franc Jiren, you were born with a golden key in your mouth, how can you compare with me, a peasant child?" Su Hao replied. In fact. He really knew what Zhu Changjin was emotional, but this kind of thing belonged to the internal affairs of the emperor's family, so he didn't bother to think about it.
Zhu Changjin took a sip of wine and said, "With the golden key...... It's a chic way of saying it. Speaking of which, there is no shortage of gold and silver in this world's family, but this gold and silver are just chains on this son's body. ”
"Ordinary people, they want to find this chain but can't." Su Hao said perfunctorily with a smile.
Zhu Changjin said: "You are also a member of officialdom. I don't know what this vassal king is bound to. From an outsider's point of view, my life is full of fine clothes and food, and my wife and concubines hug me left and right, which is simply the life of a fairy. But I'm sitting with you, Master Su. But I'm ashamed of myself. ”
"The son of the world said this, but it can be tormented by Su." Su Hao hurriedly pretended to be panicked and said.
Zhu Changjin said: "Master Su, I'm not afraid that you will be unhappy when I say it." When I saw you at the prefect's office that day, I thought to myself, if the imperial court can hand over the errand for you to me, I may not be worse than you. ”
"That's nature, the son of the world is a descendant of Taizu Miao, and he is naturally a genius of Tianzhong, how can he be compared to Su." Su Hao could only follow Zhu Changjin's tone, although he was quite disdainful of Zhu Changjin's words in his heart.
Zhu Changjin smiled and said, "Master Su, I know you are duplicitous. Under my big tomorrow, there are so many descendants of Taizu and Miao, how can they all be geniuses? As far as this prince knows, the sons of other vassal states, those who are mediocre and inactive, have **. The people's evaluation of our people is just a fat pig raised in the trough. ”
Su Hao began to pay some attention to Zhu Changjin's words, a son of the world, saying this kind of thing in front of him is definitely a heart-to-heart. But with Su Hao's plan, he didn't want to have anything to do with Chongwangfu, and the well water did not interfere with the river water, which was the most ideal result for him.
"The words of the prince made Su dare not listen." Su Hao said with a sloppy look.
Zhu Changjin said: "There are no six ears here, you and I are just talking in private, and it doesn't hurt to say anything." I said that the royal family is nothing more than that, but this son feels that I am different from other royal families. This son also wants to make a career and make some enviable achievements, just like you Bachelor Su. ”
"But...... What does the prince want to do?" Su Hao asked in a deep voice, Zhu Changjin said that to this extent, it would be too hypocritical for him to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Zhu Changjin said that he wanted to make a contribution, which could almost be regarded as a rebellious word for a vassal prince. If this kind of words are spread to Wanli's ears by someone with a heart, Zhu Changjin can be directly suspected of rebellion and sent to Fengyang Mansion to be imprisoned.
Zhu Changjin said: "I want to be a successful son, so that future generations can remember my name."
"This ...... I'm afraid it's not easy. Su Hao said unceremoniously.
"Yes, in my life, not everything can be as desired. So, as I said, I envy Mr. Su's background even more. Zhu Changjin said dejectedly.
At this moment, Su Hao began to sympathize with Zhu Changjin a little. It can be seen that this prince of Changjin is an aspiring young man who is unwilling to be drunk and dream of death like other members of the royal family, but his royal blood determines that he can only do this. In the Ming Dynasty, there were many vassal kings who were called "virtuous kings" by the emperor, the so-called virtuous kings, that is, the vassal kings who did not cause trouble to the emperor, to put it more clearly, they were the kind of parasites who did not have any lofty ideals, but only knew how to carry cages and birds, and went to the streets to flirt with women from good families.
But the problem is that Zhu Changjin doesn't want to be such a virtuous king, he is still young and has a young heart. The more this is the case, the more painful he becomes, who said that the happiness index of the rich second generation must be higher than others?
"When the prince told me this, did he want me to help you?" Su Hao asked.
"No, no, no, Master Su doesn't have to worry, although this son is mediocre, he won't pull people into the water." Zhu Changjin said with a smile, "I just think that you and I are in love, I am evil, and other people can't say it, and you are the only one who can listen to me about this evil." ”
The regulations of the Ming Dynasty stipulated that vassal kings were not allowed to associate with officials, fearing that such idealistic and aspiring vassal kings would entrap officials to form a force and threaten the central power. Su Hao is not a big man in the Ming officialdom, but he is a star in the rising period, and it is not a big deal for him to drink with Zhu Changjin once, but if they join forces to do something, I am afraid that the court will not sit idly by.
"The identity of the prince determines that you can't be an official, let alone lead the troops to take command and gallop on the battlefield. However, the prince can do business and study, and if these two things are done well, they can also be famous in history. Su Hao sincerely made an idea for Zhu Changjin.
"There are a lot of vassal kings who are in business, but they are all forced to buy and sell under the banner of the royal family, and in the end, even if they are rich, they will leave behind a bad reputation. As for learning, I have a vassal grandfather who is devoted to this, that is, the current Zheng Wangye, who wrote "The Harmony of the Legal Calendar", which is quite respected by musicians, and they all say that King Zheng is a master of rhythm in the world. Zhu Changjin said with a smile.
The prince Zheng that Zhu Changjin said was Zhu Zaiyu, the king of Zheng Guo at that time, and the titles given to him in the history books were music lawyers, musicians, musical instrument manufacturers, dancers, mathematicians, physicists, and astronomical calendarists...... This prince is estimated to belong to an idealistic person like Zhu Changjin, who has nothing to do in the feudal kingdom, so he ponders music theory, and then extends to mathematics, calendars and other fields, which is indeed a work. Su Hao had heard people talk about the deeds of this vassal king, so he was not surprised when Zhu Changjin said this.
"What King Zheng can do, the prince can also do. If the prince is interested in studying, he might as well study the mathematics, physics and other theories of the Franco, and perhaps he will be able to live through the ages. Su Hao suggested that he didn't have much research on music and other things, but he knew a lot about Western science and technology. Since Zhu Changjin is bored and full of ideals, why not encourage him to engage in scientific research, maybe with Zhu Changjin, there will be nothing Newton does.
"Franc's doctrine, is it interesting?" Zhu Changjin asked.
"Like my Chinese theory, it is also broad and profound, but it is a different way, and it is also unique to go deeper." Su Hao said.
"Okay, I'll invite Master Su to the palace another day to talk about the doctrine of this Buddha machine for this son." Zhu Changjin said.
"This ......" Su Hao couldn't help but want to give himself a slap in the face, so dignified, what kind of Buddha machine are you talking to Zhu Changjin, if you really mobilize the interest of this second ancestor, won't you become the tutor of Chongwangfu?
"Hehe, Su has official business, and with this identity, he often goes in and out of Chongwang's Mansion, but I'm afraid that it will be inappropriate. If the prince is interested in the doctrine of the franc machine, and Su recommends another person for the prince to give a lecture to the prince, what does the prince think?" Su Hao said.
"What does this man know about the Francophile doctrine?" Zhu Changjin asked.
"I've gotten my first glimpse of the door." Su Hao said.
"Alright, let's make a decision." Zhu Changjin readily agreed. (To be continued.) You are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation votes and monthly passes. For mobile phone users, please go to read
