City.

In the sloppy courtyard where Zhu Wanhong lived, his subordinate Xiaoqi was reporting to him about the autumn trip of King Xing's son out of the city.

Zhu Wanhong's eyes were hazy, as if he had not yet woken up from last night's drunkenness.

“…… Zhu Qianhu, do you want to go out of the city to investigate? ”

Xiaoqi finally asked for instructions.

Zhu Wanhong squinted one eye, looked at his subordinates, and said in a bad tone: "Xingwangfu has sent a large number of guards to escort it, and hundreds of cavalry reinforcements can be dispatched at any time, I don't even have ten people under my command now, what's the point of going out of the city?"

"If you can't get close, you can't explore the specific situation, and once you get close, you will startle the snake and trigger a strong backlash from Xingwangfu...... You tell me, what can I do? ”

Xiaoqi couldn't help but be anxious.

Obviously, several of Zhu Wanhong's subordinates are all in one place, and they empathize with the current situation.

"Why didn't Jinyiwei encounter such a good opportunity when he had a large number of people under Anlu? If you really don't have a way, you can ask the Zhu family behind you to ......"

Xiaoqi gives advice.

There are not enough people, you can borrow it from the Zhu family.

"If the Zhu family had that strength, they wouldn't have been here for 20 years without doing anything, and it would be boring to talk to people who have no brains...... Alright, alright, go to the city gate and be careful, when they will leave the city and when they will come back, just report it to me, and don't disturb my dreams again. ”

After Zhu Wanhong drove his subordinates away, he continued to sleep.

……

……

Zhu Si and his entourage had a lively time outside the city.

Kemari competitions begin after lunch.

It's still adults and children forming teams together, and the game between the two sides is very fierce, this time except for restricting physical contact between guards and children, there are no longer restrictions on attacking and defending each other.

Zhu Hao did not play.

He looked at it for a moment, then turned his attention back to the book in his hand.

"Come out to play, do you still have the heart to read?"

Gongsun Yi finally asked his wife to rest on the side, and came over to sit next to Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao smiled: "Mr. Gongsun accompanies his wife, and he still cares about me reading?" ”

Gongsun Yi smiled, with a little reluctance on his face: "I have discussed with my insiders, after the child is born, I will no longer serve in the palace, and strive to be on the laurel list in the next township examination." ”

Zhu Hao nodded: "Then I wish Mr. Gongsun success." ”

said so, but in fact, Zhu Hao didn't think that Gongsun Yi had that level.

Even if you study hard at home every day, it is difficult for you to get a middle school student in a township exam, not to mention that Gongsun Yi fishes for three days and dries nets for two days...... After getting along for a year, Zhu Hao found that Gongsun Yi's current writing skills were not high.

Even how the students were tested, Zhu Hao felt that there was something greasy in it.

"What about you? Can you be confident in taking the county exam next year? Gongsun Yi knew that Zhu Hao was going to participate in the imperial examination, and his eyes were full of expectations.

or hopes that Zhu Hao will become famous as a young man, then he, as a named gentleman, also feels that he has a bright face.

"Go for it."

Zhu Hao replied very casually.

Gongsun Yi saw that Zhu Hao was concentrating on studying, so it was inconvenient to disturb him more, so he got up and went away.

……

……

This grandson Yi has just left.

Tang Yin leaned over and asked, "What did Feng Yuan tell you just now?" ”

Zhu Hao said: "He said that he wanted to participate in the next township examination, and he also said that he hoped to win the list in one fell swoop, and I blessed him twice." ”

Tang Yin expressed his approval: "It's a good thing for young people to be self-motivated, I think Gongsun Fengyuan is a reading material, but it's a pity that there will be no college exam next year, otherwise...... If you can pass three exams in a row and take the township exam in the same year as him, it will be interesting. ”

In the eleventh year of Zhengde, Anlu did not arrange a hospital examination.

Zhu Hao glanced at Tang Yin: "Mr. Lu really thinks...... Does he have a chance? ”

"Why not?"

Tang Yin said, "In this year's scientific examination, his results will be ranked first, and it stands to reason that there is a great chance in the autumn of next year, so I encourage him to work hard." ”

Zhu Hao was speechless: "Mr. Lu is really good at tricking people." ”

Tang Yin asked angrily, "How do you speak?" What did I do to him? ”

Zhu Hao said: "With his talent, next year's township examination, most of them are to accompany the prince to study, and now his more important mission is to support his family...... I am afraid that he will suffer setbacks and lose his sharpness. ”

That's nothing.

But if you think about it carefully, it is a kind of denial of Zhu Hao's talent for Gongsun Yi, and it is estimated that Tang Yin himself knows that Gongsun Yi's ability to take the township test is still lacking.

"Zhu Hao, don't always speculate on others with your thoughts, young people don't work hard, are they the same as you kid, obviously your talent is far above Gongsun Fengyuan, but you don't even participate in the county exam? Just to mix in the palace for a few more years? Is it really that fun to be a child? ”

Tang Yin was in a hurry, but he could be regarded as telling the truth.

On weekdays, not only Tang Yin will guide Zhu Hao to write articles, but Gongsun Yi will also consult Tang Yin when he writes articles.

Even if Tang Yin really teaches students to be worried, as Nanzhili Xie Yuan, he still has the ability to judge the merits of Zhu Hao and Gongsun Yi's articles, in his opinion...... Gongsun Yi is indeed not qualified to be Zhu Hao's husband, and writing articles is even more so.

Why does a child whose talent and articles are above Xiucai stay in the palace to study instead of participating in the imperial examination? This is also the fundamental reason why Tang Yin originally recommended Zhu Hao to participate in the county examination.

Zhu Hao said: "Mr. Lu, it's not that I don't want to participate in the imperial examination, but with my age, participating in the imperial examination means entering Vanity Fair early.

"Once the article I write is not in line with some old-timers, and they are jealous and attack me, may I be a child, what ability do I have to fight with them?"

"This ......"

Tang Yin was speechless.

"If the imperial examination was only based on talent, there would not be so many down-and-out scholars who have never met talents, and even Mr. Lu himself is not a victim of this Vanity Fair? You pushed me into the arena early, but you didn't put yourself in my shoes and think about the pressure I would have to face in the future...... That's not what a kid should have to bear! ”

Zhu Hao's reasoning is very simple.

When I grow up to participate in the imperial examination, even if I am only twelve or thirteen years old, it will not seem so abrupt, no matter what results I achieve, even if some people are jealous, I will not make a shady move.

But next year, I will only be nine years old, and you will let me participate in the imperial examination, and you also know that my talent is very good, which means that I have to face the fingers of thousands of people, and those who are not as talented as me will think that I was born in the Xingwang Mansion, or because I was born in a family of thousands of households in Jinyiwei, or because of the shadow left by my father, or because I have something to do with someone...... There are many kinds of ......

At that time, people would only believe what they wanted to believe, and no one cared about how well he learned, because no one wanted to believe that a nine-year-old child's talent was better than that of an old pedant who had studied hard for decades, and the final result was that all the pressure had to be borne by Zhu Hao alone.

He, Tang Yin, can be known as a "recommended prodigy".

"Besides, Mr. Gongsun, you know that he is a busy person and has no heart to make progress, but you encourage him to give up the good future of the palace to participate in the township examination, or because he is a young man, that passion for hard work is easy to be ignited by you, but you don't know that in the end you are just a handful of white bones piled up under the mountain of books.

"You let him teach and support his family in the palace, while increasing his experience, let him start to have the responsibility of being a husband and a father, and then let him work hard after accumulation, isn't it? Do you have to let him take the initiative to give up the back road now? ”

Zhu Hao didn't want to make an evaluation.

Gongsun Yi is a student, and it is understandable to participate in the township test in the coming year, and Zhu Hao can only bless young people who are motivated.

But Zhu Hao and Tang Yin both know a problem, that is, Gongsun Yi went to participate in the township test, and nine out of nine had to return, but Gongsun Yi had to pay ten times or even a hundred times the effort, and had to take the initiative to leave the palace and go home to study...... It's a state of fighting for your life without leaving a way out.

Isn't this a duck to the shelves?

Tang Yin was taught a lesson by Zhu Hao, and his face was not good: "If he fails the township test in the coming year, he can come back and continue to be his teacher, I have never excluded him." ”

Zhu Hao said: "I know that Mr. Lu did not exclude Mr. Gongsun, so he let him participate in the township test, you are completely out of good intentions, and you also have the merit of your recommendation when he returned to the palace before." But you have to think about it, he failed the township exam next year, and he has been away from the palace for a whole year. At that time, even if the palace is willing to take him in, will he have the face to come back? ”

Again, it's a very real problem.

The reason why Gongsun Yi can stay in the palace now is because Zhu Si's studies are limited to the basic knowledge of the Four Books and Five Classics, and he can teach without too much advanced knowledge, but after a year, Zhu Si is estimated to have begun to try to write articles, and the knowledge required is no longer what Gongsun Yi can handle.

And if Gongsun Yixiang fails to pass the test, his value will drop greatly, and now he can be considered a young talent, but once he falls off the list, his aura disappears...... After all, the palace is a place of reality.

This is not an ordinary official eunuch or a big family, but a place where the palace of the king is prosperous, and there may be a real dragon in the future.

The residence of Wolong, there is no need to be busy.

Tang Yin sighed: "Then do you think that in the next year, he should continue to stay in the palace to teach?" ”

"Forget it."

Zhu Hao said, "Since he has made a decision, it can be regarded as a rare experience in his life, if he is not in the middle of the next year, the palace will not come back, I will find a way to find him a teaching errand and let him earn money to support his family...... Even if the palace can't accommodate him, I will help him to the end. ”

"You?"

Tang Yin looked at Zhu Hao puzzled.

Suddenly remembered.

Zhu Hao is very ambitious, just after arriving in Anlu with Zhu Hao, Zhu Hao selected children to study in the village, you must know that Zhu Hao had only been enlightened for more than half a year at that time.

A lot of incomprehensible things are now all straightened out.

If Gongsun Yi Township tries to fail, the palace will naturally not take it in again, but Zhu Hao can let Gongsun Yi get a second job, maybe working under Zhu Hao, the income is not less than in the palace.

Tang Yin even thought that with this kid's insight and employment methods, he was afraid that Gongsun Yi would follow him to do things, which was the real way out!
