Chapter 313: Shield
Zhu Hao entered the palace with his front feet, and before he could reach the dormitory in the West Courtyard, there was a sound of hurried boots stepping on the ground from behind, and when he looked back, he saw Lu Song hurriedly chasing after him with a few guards.
"Young Master Zhu, you can find it in the next meal."
Lu Song breathed a sigh of relief after catching up with Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao smiled and asked, "What is Lu Dianzhan looking for me?" ”
Lu Song waved his hand and asked his subordinates to change shifts by themselves, while he stepped forward and said after taking a breath of relief: "Didn't you discuss with Mr. Tang and leave the examination room after completing the government exam before noon?" I waited before noon, and waited for half an hour, until someone came out and listened to their discussions, and then I realized that you had turned in your papers early in the morning...... I hurried around again. ”
It is really rare to hear Lu Song complain.
The Lu Song that Zhu Hao usually sees is the type of old scalper who works in the ground, humming and only panting and not calling, and now I know that Lu Song also has a time to complain.
After asking in detail, it turned out that Lu Song was called by Tang Yin to wait for Wang Shouren in Shili Pavilion outside the city early in the morning, and escorted him to the state government after receiving Wang Shouren...... I haven't had any free time in the morning.
"Lu Dianzhan, you found me, what are you going to do next? You won't take me to the state office to find Mr. Tang, right? Zhu Hao asked with a smile.
Lu Song said: "That's not necessary, Mr. Tang guessed that you might go back to the palace, so let people hold a banquet in Dongsheng Pavilion, which is not far from the palace, and you can go down with you." ”
Here Lu Song didn't have time to rest, so he changed a group of guards to follow, so he took Zhu Hao to the restaurant.
……
……
To say that the palace paid for Tang Yin to set up a banquet to entertain VIPs, it was naturally unusual.
Tianxing Wangfu directly contracted the entire Dongsheng Pavilion, and only entertained Tang Yin and Wang Shouren.
"Good name."
Zhu Hao stood at the door of the restaurant, not in a hurry to enter, and looked up to see that the windows on the second floor of Dongsheng Pavilion were all closed, and he couldn't detect what was going on inside from the outside.
When Lu Song saw the palace guards guarding the door, he knew that the place was right, and walked over and said, "As soon as I spread the word, I said that I brought Young Master Zhu here." ”
"Yes."
The guards hurried upstairs to inform.
Zhu Hao thought to himself, this is quite formal, usually you Lu Song can just take me up, this is to give Wang Shouren face?
It's not like that!
It should be to give Tang Yin face, so that Tang Yin's old friend Wang Shouren felt that Tang Yin received great courtesy in the palace and gave enough face.
This is how the palace will behave, it may be that Yuan Zonggao and Zhang Zuo have explained in advance, and they must do this when they let Lu Song and others follow Tang Yin.
……
……
After the transmission, the two went upstairs smoothly.
Lu Song was in front, Zhu Hao followed behind, and when he went upstairs, he saw two people sitting at a large round table in the center.
In addition to Tang Yin, there is also an old pedant in his forties, who looks weathered, slightly sluggish, and has a goatee, and his first impression is a bit like Fan Yikuan, but when the other party is looking at the direction of the staircase, his sharp gaze is like a sharp arrow with a murderous aura, which is obviously different from a weak scholar like Tang Yin.
Zhu Hao thought that the other party would bring a lot of followers, but who knew that he was alone, which was quite a bit of a one-handed meeting, after all, it was not for nothing that Xingwangfu entertained Wang Shouren.
"Zhu Hao is here? Come on, come on, let me introduce you, this is the imperial history of the capital, Wang Zhongcheng, the governor of the southern state capital of Jiangjiang. ”
Tang Yin introduced with a smile.
Tang Yin didn't get up, Wang Shouren naturally didn't need to stand up, after all, it wasn't a big person who came out of the staircase, if it was someone sent from the palace, even if it was Zhang Zuo, Wang Shouren needed to get up to greet him.
But it turned out to be a child......
Why is that?
"Bohu, who is he?"
Wang Shouren asked very directly.
Wang Shouren himself is two years younger than Tang Yin, one of the two is from Zhejiang, and the other is from Nanzhili, both of whom are quite rich and famous, and they have participated in the examination in the 12th year of Hongzhi, and they usually have no friendship, but they can also be called friends after meeting.
Tang Yin said with a smile: "This is the descendant of the Zhu family of the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households who live in Changshou County, Anlu Prefecture, and the only son of the late General Zhongyi during the Pingyuan Rebellion in the seventh year of Zhengde...... Zhu Hao. ”
When introduced, Tang Yin did not say that Zhu Hao was his disciple.
Shame on you!
When Mr. asks for help from his disciples every day, who will believe this if he says it?
Now he wants to use Zhu Hao as a gunman and let Zhu Hao make up some rhetoric to deal with Wang Shouren, then he can no longer treat Zhu Hao as a junior, but as a peer, so that he Tang Yin will have the opportunity to hide behind and watch the excitement.
When Zhu Hao heard this introduction, he secretly thought that it was bad, the old boy must have been embarrassed by Wang Shouren many times in the morning, and found that it was difficult to deal with, so he praised me and asked me to help you greet this contemporary celebrity who can't rub a little sand in his eyes.
Tang Bohu, Tang Bohu, you are really insidious.
When Wang Shouren heard that Zhu Hao was a child of the Zhu family of the Thousand Households of Jinyi Wei, his face changed significantly.
This involves Wang Shouren in the early years of Zhengde for offending Liu Jin, was imprisoned in Beijing, and later sent Guiyang Longchang Post as a postman, in the middle of which he was chased and killed by Liu Jin's people, and faked his death to escape the catastrophe...... Only those who have experienced the difficulties of Dongchang and Jinyiwei will have a deep understanding of the methods of these two secret agencies.
It was a fear from the heart.
Tang Yin obviously knew this, so he took Zhu Hao's identity to talk about it.
"It turned out that after being loyal and good, it was respectable and respectable." Wang Shouren still didn't get up, but he arched his hand slightly, which was considered to give enough attention to a child.
Lu Song on the side didn't understand what was going on.
To say that this Wang Shouren is the most difficult to talk to an official he has ever seen, rigid and likes to make things difficult for others, he doesn't let go when he catches a question, he often asks others red-faced, speechless, and still pressing step by step, how can he see a child like Zhu Hao now, but he can show a courtesy that he has never seen in the morning?
"Lu Dianzhan, are you at the same table?"
Tang Yin was very polite, and asked Lu Song, who was stunned next to him, with a smile.
Lu Song hurriedly said: "Don't disturb the conversation of a few people, go downstairs and wait first, and just let me know if you have any orders." ”
"Hmm."
Tang Yin nodded and watched Lu Song go downstairs.
Then Tang Yin directly recruited Zhu Hao: "Sit down." ”
actually let a junior like Zhu Hao sit at the same table with the famous Wang Shouren, Zhu Hao thought to himself, don't you Tang Yin have a ghost in your heart......
This is not a trick to deal with Wang Shouren's step-by-step pressing, even if you mess up the etiquette and humility, you will not hesitate to do it.
……
……
Wang Shouren's face did not change much.
Seeing Zhu Hao sit down, he didn't mind much, after the other party was Zhongliang, he was also from the family of Jinyiwei Thousand Households, and it was likely that he would enter Jinyiwei as an errand in the future...... Officials, especially those who have also seen the methods of Jinyiwei, why should they be angry with a future spy leader? There's really no need for that!
Tang Yin said with a smile: "Zhu Hao, in front of Wang Zhongcheng, you should make one thing clear...... Wang Zhongcheng has asked many times before, I can't explain it, I can only let you solve the puzzle. ”
It's not nonsense, Tang Yin will pass on the contradiction when he comes up.
Wang Shouren's face was slightly embarrassed: "Bohu, what are you talking about?" ”
"Haha, that's right, Wang Zhongcheng rushed to Changshou County overnight, arrived before dawn, and did some investigation on the battlefield outside the city, especially the enemy camp that had been destroyed, and thought that the gunpowder used in the palace was extraordinary, so I wanted to ask what was going on."
Tang Yin's words were very direct.
This explains why he pushed Zhu Hao out as a shield as soon as he came up, mainly because Wang Shouren asked too closely.
Wang Shouren is a great military strategist, so naturally he will not be like those civilian officials who know little about military affairs, he will believe whatever you say, and naturally he will personally investigate and verify, and he likes to be more serious.
After on-site inspection, people found that the gunpowder explosion was extremely powerful, so naturally they would not think that it was ordinary black powder, and the sulfur, saltpeter and other substances left on the ground after the explosion of black powder could be easily identified...... The leader is as experienced as Wang Shouren, and he easily exposed the lies fabricated by the Xingwang Mansion.
Zhu Hao shook his head: "I don't know." ”
You ask directly, and I answer more directly.
Tang Yin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, this kid ...... It's ruthless!
With such a grand promotion before, you answer that you don't know?
Do you think I've gone to great lengths to find you just to fool the ghost?
Wang Shouren was listening, his tense face couldn't help but ease slightly, and he looked at Tang Yin with a slightly wry smile: "Bohu, what's going on?" ”
If you find a child, even if he has a deep background, what does it have to do with the gunpowder thing that I asked you? You can just answer me directly, how can you let a childish explain?
Now that people have said it, he doesn't know, so do you have to explain it clearly?
Tang Yin felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, it was not Wang Shouren who choked him, but Zhu Hao, the little guy.
For a while, he suddenly felt that Zhu Hao and Wang Shouren were in the same group, isn't this embarrassing?
Tang Yin glared at Zhu Hao: "Zhu Hao, how much do you know and how much you say." ”
That look seemed to threaten, if you kid dare to say that you don't know, I will shake the bottom and reveal the whole thing, and say that the powerful gunpowder was made by you.
Zhu Hao calmed down: "Mr. Tang, I haven't been to the battlefield in person, I don't know what the gunpowder is, but I heard that the power is huge, and the thief camp will be blown up on their backs at one time, and the stumps and broken arms are all over the ground, which is very powerful." But I also heard that this thing is very dangerous, saying that it was gunpowder that was transported out of the city, and it exploded halfway, and it also damaged the lives of the guards of Xingwangfu...... There's such a thing, right? ”
Tang Yin was stunned.
This time, Zhu Hao talked a lot.
It seems to be helping him explain, but after saying it, it's the same as not saying it, and actually throwing a question at him?
Did I ask you, or did you ask me?
However, Tang Yin was not an ordinary person in the end, he heard the key point in Zhu Hao's question, and the emphasis was not on how powerful this gunpowder was, but because it was difficult to control.
"Alas! Yes, there is such a thing...... Bo'an, I didn't tell you in detail before, but the guards who were sent out to attack the enemy camp at that time were all determined to die, but there were still guards who accidentally caused the gunpowder to burst halfway, so that they ...... It's a pity that the royal palace has already made a bereavement ...... for his family."
Tang Yin can be regarded as able to actively learn and comprehend Zhu Hao's spirit, and he found that Zhu Hao is here, although it doesn't seem to have much practical significance, and it will give him problems, but Wang Shouren's side can finally pick up the words, and it can be regarded as handy to deal with.
Tang Yin's heart is like a mirror.
It doesn't matter if I am troubled by Zhu Hao, anyway, this kid makes it difficult for me every day, as long as I can block Wang Shouren's mouth, I will complete the task entrusted by Xingwangfu.
