Chapter 430: Returning to the Old Business
Jiaotai Palace, Zhu Zhanji is here to review the folds. Originally, it was supposed to be in the imperial study, but Zhu Zhanji was very bored there, so he put the office here, and in addition to the music chapter, there was also a beautiful birdcage on the desk. There are priceless thrushes sent from Guangdong.
After Zhu Zhanji reviewed the music for a while, he would tease the birds and relax.
Next to the bird, there is also a beautiful jar, in which the crickets sing from time to time. The thrush stared at the jar with a longing look in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, the prince asks to see you." Wang Zhendao, who served Zhu Zhanji.
was disgusted by Li Qi before, Wang Zhen was alienated by Zhu Zhanzhan, and Hou Tai became a celebrity because of his merits. However, Hou Tai's villain is ambitious, relying on his own merits, and does not take other fathers-in-law seriously. So Wang Zhen grabbed the handle and united with other eunuchs. It should also be Hou Tai's bad luck, once when he went to the harem to send a message to the concubine, the concubine was bathing, and the little eunuch who was guarding also hated him, so he didn't stop him, and finally saw what he shouldn't see.
In the end, Hou Tai's "generation" heroes died violently.
At this time, Zhu Zhanji still didn't want to use Wang Zhen, but he changed many eunuchs, and found that they were all illiterate and far less useful than Wang Zhen. Wang Zhen has read books, can classify the chapters, and when he is tired, he can also let him read to himself, and then review them.
So, Zhu Zhanji remembered Wang Zhen's good coming, when he was still the emperor's grandson, Wang Zhen followed him, so he alienated him inexplicably, and felt a little guilty.
As a result, Wang Zhen became Zhu Zhanji's personal eunuch again.
Moreover, Zhu Zhanji suddenly had an idea that it was necessary to enroll the eunuchs in the palace and teach them to read and write, so that they could help the emperor deal with government affairs in the future.
Listening to Wang Zhen's words, Xuanzong was surprised for a while: "Prince? Which prince?"
"The prince beside Lord Zheng is from Nanjing." Wang Zhen replied softly, he was more cautious after receiving this blow, and with his status, he naturally did not dare to call Wang Jinghong by his name.
Wang Jinghong would never take the initiative to ask to see him, since he came, he must have been entrusted by Zheng He. Here I have to mention the matter of going to the West.
The last time he went to the Western Ocean, Zheng He's fleet arrived in many countries and regions such as Champang, Siam, Kurumus, and Adan, and more than 10 countries sent important figures to study in the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, Chen Yuan's proposed trade, after a year, the trade income turned out to be the same as the income of the people across the country, which stunned Zhu Di and the officials.
Zheng He returned to Daming in August of the twentieth year of Yongle, during which Zhu Di was in the north to conquer Arutai, so it was not mentioned, but Renzong, who was the crown prince at that time, rewarded Zheng He and their financial servants. In the first month of the 22nd year of Yongle, Zhu Di ordered Zheng He to go to the old port to give Shi Jinqing's son Shi Jisun the official seal and official uniform, so that he could take over his late father's position. Arrange to go to the West again.
Unfortunately, in July of the same year, a generation of great monarch Zhu Di died. After hearing the news, Renzong Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, and immediately adjusted his father's expansion policy, taking measures to alleviate the people's hardship internally, and carrying out strategic contraction externally. Let Zheng He be the garrison of Nanjing, stay far away, and put the matter of going to the West on hold.
Now that Xuanzong is on the throne, Zheng He has the idea of going to the West again.
Thinking of the emperor's grandfather and the huge profits from the arrival of Western trade, Zhu Zhanji was very moved, but Yang Shiqi and his gang in the DPRK were more conservative, and many old stubborns were very opposed to going to the West, if he insisted on going to the West, it would be to overthrow the policy of the imperial examination, it would be unfilial, and it would be difficult to do, he sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Let him come in."
Wang Zhen got the order and invited Wang Jinghong in.
The two have grievances, but Zhu Zhanji is confident, and Wang Jinghong is forbearing, as if nothing has happened.
"Lord Zheng, is he okay?"
"Your Majesty is worried, Lord Zheng is all right."
Zhu Zhanji nodded.
Wang Jinghong then presented a letter written by Zheng He.
Wang Zhen took it and handed it to Xuanzong.
Xuanzong read it and put it aside: "I don't know the benefits of going to the West, but if I remember correctly, Master Zheng has been away for many years, and his body is suffering from diseases, and it is difficult to walk at present. Lord Zheng has followed the emperor's grandfather for decades, and he is the only surviving hero.
Wang Jinghong knelt down and bowed: "Lord Zheng said that he has received the great favor of Yongle Lord in this life, how dare he not do his best to repay him, even if he is broken and dies at sea, that is the greatest glory in his life."
Zhu Zhanji was silent.
Wang Jinghong said in a low voice: "The last time the minister followed the adults to the sea and went to the mud of Shaliwan, I heard them say that the western countries are very open, and the people, men and women there, love each other, and it can last for an hour."
Speaking of male and female love, Zhu Zhanji became interested and leaned forward: "Is there really such a thing?"
"I don't know, but I'm willing to go and find out for Your Majesty."
Zhu Zhanji was obsessed with men and women, and his heart was immediately moved. But it was impossible to just agree, and said to Wang Zhen, "You go and call Wei Ninghou and say that I have something important to discuss with him."
Wang Zhen was ordered out of the palace.
————
Linchun Building, Ju Niangzi nodded Hua Qinglou's forehead: "Don't worry, it's useless for you to think about it, the Zhong family sisters have already spoken, don't look at money, only look at literature." Oh, look over there, there are many sisters of the Zhong family, as well as Yang Gongzi, Li Gongzi, Xu Gongzi, many sons have come to cheer, and the Zhong sisters will definitely appear. When the time comes, it's up to your friend."
Wencai, I have no interest in discussing these for a long time, Chen Yuan shook his head and smiled. People who are about to run for three years, the pursuit of different things, words and those things, only young people are easy to be moved, they are not Li Bai's kind of literati, the pursuit of difference. What Hua Kui looks at Chinese Cai, he doesn't believe it, it is this Zhong family sister, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable in his heart. t.
When Hua Qinglou heard the names of Li Gongzi and Xu Gongzi, his face suddenly became a little unsightly, and when he saw the two parts of people sitting there, his expression completely wilted.
Dong Ming saw that Hua Qinglou's expression was different, so he said, "Hua Qinglou, what's wrong?"
Hua Qinglou didn't want to weaken his name in front of Hou Ye, so he smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just saw a few acquaintances."
Chen Yuan was also curious, so he forgot to look downstairs, only to see that the ten tables in the distance were obviously divided into two groups, all of them were some sons and brothers in their twenties, and they each sat around a young man. The two tables of people, no one paid attention to the other, and each talked eloquently. It should be Li Gongzi and Xu Gongzi, as for Yang Gongzi, like other guests, sit farther away, for fear of harming the pond fish.
The two sons at the head, the Li Gongzi on the right, are light, about eighteen years old, with a jade face and red lips, good looks, and elegant appearance.
The other Xu Gongzi is worse in appearance and shorter.
The two sons were obviously vindictive, glancing at each other from time to time, and they were a little disdainful of each other.
"These two sons, both of them are new science and technology scholars this year, and they are brilliant, but they are only about to take the palace test, if they become the emperor's celebrity in high school, maybe they will be the same as Li Qi, they will become university scholars at a young age, and their future is unlimited."
Hua Qinglou shyly smiled at the old face: "What about their literary talents, they were not down-and-out scholars before, and you were also a famous Oiran at the beginning, didn't you follow me in the end and like my silver?" It seems that they used to fight for women and had a holiday.
It was indeed the same as Chen Yuan thought, Hua Qinglou monopolized the chrysanthemum lady, and those literati were definitely not convinced, so they came to the chrysanthemum lady twice in three days, among which Li Gongzi and Xu Gongzi were the most diligent, which made him very unhappy.
wanted to redeem Ju Niangzi, but Ju Niangzi refused, which really made him uncomfortable, so when he saw them, he was naturally unhappy.
Ju Niangzi changed her posture in his arms, beat him in the chest, and said angrily: "People are also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and want to find a wishful man, like Li Gongzi, but the son of the imperial history, not to mention handsome, talk elegantly, that talent, also fascinating, Xu Gongzi Xu Hui, don't look short, but the pen is like a god, one hand calligraphy, the Ming Dynasty can't find a few people who can compare, it is the slave family who has gone away, and you are a rough man."
"Rough people, don't you like rough people?" Hua Qinglou smiled cheaply.
"Bad guys, there's someone."
When it comes to rough people, the hearts of this man and woman are rippling. Fortunately, there were others, and they didn't dare to make a mistake.
Dong Ming's head is black, this man and woman are too shameless, a good Oiran, what is he taught to look like, Huaqinglou is really the best.
In the room, there were two other women accompanying him, and the woman who accompanied Chen Yuan kept leaning on him, but Chen Yuan quietly signaled her to be more upright and pour tea. The family is full of beautiful wives and concubines, and they don't like prostitutes in Qinglou, so they can play if they have money. Although they are not discriminated against, they are afraid of getting sick.
Chen Yuan didn't play with women, and Dong Ming was not easy to do, so he could only drink tea and chat with each other.
It gets dark late in the summer, and by the time the lanterns in the alley are lit up, it's already midnight. Ordinary people have long been resting, but people come and go in Linchun Building, and all kinds of laughter are endless, and it is very lively.
The sisters of the Zhong family have not yet appeared, but Li Gongzi and Xu Gongzi have begun to fight wine and write poems, and no one has weakened their momentum, rendering the atmosphere of this Linchun Building more enthusiastic.
Chen Yuan could hear that they were deliberately fighting poems to attract the attention of Oiran, at this time, the literati were more subtle, leaking literary brilliance, attracting the attention of beautiful women, and then the love of a scholar and beautiful woman was romantic.
"Brother-in-law, this Oiran is really big." After waiting for an hour, Dong Mingquan was already impatient.
Anyway, it's just to make a show, Chen Yuandao doesn't mind, and before he speaks, he hears a clear sound of "dong-", which is crisp and pleasant, like a fairy sound blowing through his ears, and the noisy noise in the building has stopped.
"It's Miss Chung!" There was a burst of enthusiastic applause in the hall, the sons were dressed, and some naughty teenagers deliberately whistled, although the elegance and vulgarity were different, but everyone was looking forward to it. I want to see what a woman who can't buy ten thousand taels of gold looks like.
Hua Qinglou, who was eating Ju Niangzi's tofu violently, sat there as if she had been immobilized, and muttered, "It's Miss Zhong, is she coming out?" caused Ju Niangzi to complain for a while, and twisted his waist for a while.
The door of a room in the middle of the second floor opened quietly, a bead curtain hung down quietly, faintly looking, there was a wonderful figure sitting behind the bead curtain, no one was seen, no sound was heard, just such a glance, it had made the men downstairs crazy.
The girl didn't speak, but with a flick of her fingers, she heard a sound of heaven coming slowly from far and near.
At first, the sound was still light, as if a clear spring was bubbling down on the mountain, and gradually it became compact again, like a drizzle in early spring. Listening carefully, the sound of the piano seems to have a strange magic, the rhyme seems to hover overhead, and it seems to whisper in the ear, which makes people intoxicated.
Suddenly, the curtain opened. It turned out to be a small stage.
Miss Zhong was wearing a light blue gauze dress, a solid quilt, a jasper hairpin, a goose egg face, and peach blossom eyes, as if she could speak. Sing in a low voice.
And the other woman, aged 28, is also a heavenly fragrance, with a waist like catkins, only a hand, wearing a pink gauze dress, dancing. She stood on her tiptoes, so light that she seemed to be able to stand on paper.
The apricot cheeks are yellow, and the lonely pillow is hateful, as if the lead is suffocated.
The crow sends the sun, the eyes are sad, and the sleepy silk rain comes.
withered green sideburns, pale red pink, bathing out of a thousand peaks and thinning.
Sprinkle tears, mess with the piano platform, and see the spring is sad.
Chen Yuan was stunned when he heard it, not because he was moved by the words, but because these two women were Zhong Xiao and Xiao Fengxian, and they were doing their old jobs again.
Thinking of Zhong Xiao's affection for him, but now he is smiling in front of people, the Marquis Chen has an indescribable feeling in his heart.

In the palace, Zhu Zhanji waited for a long time, and Wang Zhen came back to restore his life, but he came alone.
"Where's Wei Ninghou?"
Wang Zhen couldn't wipe his sweat, and said in a low voice: "The slave arrived at the Hou Ye, and the Hou Ye's wife told the Hou Ye that he was out, and the slave went to look for it, and I heard that the Hou Ye went-" He didn't dare to say.
Zhu Zhanji frowned: "Where did you go?"
"Went to the alley."
"What's wrong with going to the alley?" Zhu Zhanji didn't react at first.
Wang Jinghong explained, "The hutongs in Beijing are as famous as the Qinhuai River in Nanjing."
Zhu Zhanji still didn't understand the reason for Wang Zhen's stumbling, and laughed angrily: "I have important matters to discuss with him, he is good, he went to the kiln, as a marquis, what kind of system will he become in that kind of place."
Wang Zhen was also taken aback, and blamed Hou Ye for being so unself-loving, and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you want someone to ask Hou Ye to ask for guilt."
Zhu Zhanji waved his hand: "Forget it, it's not enough to lose face, ask for the guilt, the city will be full of wind and rain, he has always been a person who can't see beautiful women, and it's not uncommon to visit the kiln."
Hearing that Zhu Zhanji planned to leave it at that, Wang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wang Jinghong, you go back first, tell Gonggong Zheng that this matter is serious, I need to think about it, ask him to recuperate, and wait for my news in Nanjing."
"Yes, the minister retired."
After Wang Jinghong withdrew, Zhu Zhanji continued to review the fold, and suddenly held a fold, frowning, not knowing how to approve it.
Wang Zhen picked his skin and took a look, it was an excerpt from the north. was curious about what was going on, so he heard Zhu Zhanji say, "Wang Zhen, you let Weining Hou come to the palace tomorrow, it seems that Wara still has to go to the palace."
