Chunlai Restaurant is not much luxury in Huzhou Mansion, although the owner Fang Cheng has no merit in his body, but he likes elegance, if the guest is a gentleman and is willing to leave the ink treasure, he can be exempted from the order three times, and over time, it has become a place where the down-and-out literati gather.

The restaurant has three floors of antique decoration, the inscription of ink incense can be seen everywhere on the four walls, the attendance rate in the hall on the first floor has reached as much as seventy percent, and most of them are scribes, get together to talk about the past and the present, and sometimes comment on current affairs.

"The Eight Tigers rely on the favor of the saints, corrupt the law, and run rampant, in the long run, I am afraid that the country will not be a country, and the disaster of the king is not far away!"

If you want to hear the voice of the people, the best place to go is to go to the restaurant and tea shop, so Zhu Houwei came in to rest when he passed by the Chunlai restaurant.

The Eight Tigers are the eight personal eunuchs who take care of Zhu Houzhao, and after Zhu Houzhao succeeded to the throne, he became the new upstart among the eunuchs.

However, to say that the Eight Tigers were rampant at this time, even to the point that the country would not be a country, it would be pure nonsense, and the reason why these scholars said this was completely based on the natural opposition between civil officials and eunuchs.

If it weren't for the courtiers led by Liu Jian who were determined to put them to death, Liu Jin and others would not have jumped over the wall in a hurry, and finally relied on Zhu Houzhao to drive Liu Jian and Xie Qian, the two cabinet bigwigs, and the ministers of Tuogu, who were relied on by the emperor, out of the imperial court.

"Brother Zongwen is cautious." The soldier on the other side persuaded him.

It was called the Xiucai of Huzhou Mansion, named Fan Tao at the age of fifteen, known as the prodigy of Huzhou Mansion, but it is a pity that Fan Tao ended up in the name of Sun Shan in the subsequent scientific examinations, and the prodigy who fell to the altar began to be cynical, drunk all day long to criticize the current politics and vent his dissatisfaction.

"Caution? What to say? It is the proper meaning of the famous children to read the books of sages and sages on the politics of the world, and the power eunuchs are lawless and troublesome to the dynasty, do they still want to block the mouths of the people of the world? Brother Tian is also a saint's disciple, and he should have a heroic and righteous spirit in his chest, how can he be afraid of a thief! ”

The scholar surnamed Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head, Fan Tao was obviously drunk, and arguing with him at this time would only be counterproductive, so he diverted the topic and said: "The affairs of the court are treacherous, you and I are still not mentioning it, my generation of scribes might as well talk about the wind and flowers and the snow moon, and in a few days it will be the Feiying Poetry Meeting held by the eldest son of the political envoy, can Brother Fan be interested?"

For example, the purpose of holding a poetry meeting is to find talents in the assembly and recruit them, such as scholars who participate in the meeting, who want to make a name for themselves through the poetry meeting, so as to increase the bargaining chips in the scientific examination.

"Feiying Poetry Club ......" Fan Tao immediately threw the Eight Tigers out of his mind, and responded with great interest: "Of course I am interested, but I heard that this poetry meeting is a political envoy who wants to find a wishful husband for his second daughter, but unfortunately Fan already has a wife......

Zhu Houwei picked up a piece of white chopped chicken, and shook his head after taking a sip of tea, if this scholar surnamed Fan has a smooth path to fame, if he can really enter the Tianzi Hall one day, I am afraid that he will be a living Chen Shimei.

What a sven scum!

"It's just a rumor, Brother Fan doesn't need to take it seriously."

"How can the wind come from the void?" Fan Tao smiled and said: "Brother Wei is fortunate to have seen this woman, I dare not say that she looks like a fairy, but she is also a fair-skinned and beautiful lady, and although this woman is the daughter of the political envoy, she is very favored by Lord Pei, if Brother Tian can take the opportunity of the poetry meeting to make a splash, maybe he will become Lord Pei's fast son-in-law, and then Qingyun's career will ......."

"That's enough." The scholar surnamed Tian said angrily: "My generation of scholars read the books of sages, and it is the right way to study hard to take the scientific examination to get out of the party, how can there be a way to go on the side of the door and take the good fortune, Brother Fan is drunk for a few days, and it is useless to say more, and he will leave!"

Fan Tao looked at Tian Yun who was walking away in amazement, and a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

More than ten years ago, he was not the first to be poor, and he wanted to follow the rules and regulations to take the scientific examination, but he was really not good at the first place after repeated attempts?

Of course not, this year's science field is not a power field, why is it not full of copper smell, those who worship under the high-ranking officials, those who can give up a lot of money, the top three jinshi may not have no chance, not to mention the township test!

The surname Tian failed once in the township test, and he didn't know the dark doorway in it, Fan Tao disdainfully began to pour himself a drink.

"Let's go." Zhu Houwei got up, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the restaurant, he saw Yin Wenyao, the prefect of Huzhou, who came in a hurry.

"Dare to ask, but His Royal Highness King Yong is in person?" Yin Wenyao saw that Zhu Houwei was dressed ordinary, and he was not sure for a while.

"You are?"

Without denying it, he admitted it, Yin Wenyao hurriedly saluted: "Xiaguan Huzhou Governor, I have seen the king."

"Lord Yin doesn't need to be polite, this king is traveling in micro-clothes, I just want to see the scenery of Huzhou."

"The lower official understands that the king was harassed by a few splashes before, which is really a dereliction of duty by the lower official......

Yin Wenyao is also depressed, he is the prefect of Huzhou, but Huzhou is the fief of King Yong, the two are closely connected but do not interfere with each other, but King Yong was collided by the ruffian, but it was the dereliction of law and order in Huzhou Mansion, if King Yong really wanted to give him eye medicine, he didn't have to do it, so he came over in a hurry, wanting to give King Yong a good impression, so as not to suffer from unwarranted disasters.

"There is no shortage of green-skinned ruffians even in the Jingshi, since this king has met, he will naturally take action to punish, if his subordinates are not serious, they can come to the palace to receive the money for injuries and illnesses."

"How dare you, how dare you." Yin Wenyao said in horror: "The green-skinned scoundrel is a local cancer, and the lower officials have always been willing to eradicate it, but even if they are caught, they can only be closed for ten days and eight days for a slight punishment.

"Then it's as Lord Yin wills." After Zhu Houwei finished speaking, he boarded the sedan chair, and Yin Wenyao stood beside the sedan chair and didn't dare to come out, but he believed that this matter should have been saved today.

Returning to the palace, it was much more lively than yesterday, yesterday Zhu Houwei arranged for Ren Xing to search for clever school-age children, Ren Xing arranged it, and in just half a day, the palace received hundreds of seventy- and eight-year-old children.

This is not surprising, although Huzhou is relatively rich, but it only refers to food and clothing, these years can not afford to read more children than a carp across the river, I heard that the palace accepts children to study for free, and also provides food and accommodation, how can ordinary people resist?

It doesn't matter if your children are reading or not, if you don't have a mouth to eat, your own pressure can be reduced by three points.
