Zhu Hao met with Su Xigui and put it the next day.

Tang Yin went to see Wang Shouren and specially called Zhu Hao, originally Zhu Hao didn't want to go, but was told that Wang Shouren specially instructed Tang Yin to take him.

Ten Mile Pavilion.

During the trip, Wang Shouren finished saying goodbye to Tang Yin, and then called Zhu Hao to him, patted Zhu Hao's shoulder, and looked approving: "Young talents, if the hospital test, the township test and the meeting test are successful, and you are ranked in the court class, you must first worry about the world, and then the joy of the world." Bohu, if you and I have a chance to see each other again in the future, remember to bring Zhu Hao with you, remember to remember! ”

He had high hopes for Zhu Hao between his words.

finally sent Wang Shouren to the parting carriage.

Seeing the carriage under the strict protection of the governor's guards go away, Zhu Hao looked sideways at Tang Yin, who was staring at Tang Yin in the distance, and asked, "Why did Wang Zhongcheng suddenly say that you would take me to see him in the future?" ”

Tang Yin said: "He said that he had carefully read the articles of your government examination in the past two days, and he also went to the Confucian Institute to ask you for another examination article to read, and thought that you have learned well and made unlimited achievements in the future...... How simple do you think it is to be appreciated by the world's celebrities? ”

"Ahh Is that so? Shouldn't I be honored? Zhu Hao didn't expect Wang Shouren to care about such a childish imperial examination article as him.

That's the result of exam-oriented education, I wrote it specifically for Kuang Yangming, specially made for the entrance examination, what is that article to others?

"The worries of the world first, the joy of the world after the world, remember his words, I thought you were his disciple and grandson, but now it seems that ...... There is still a hidden Coats behind you, and I don't know who it is, I hope to have a chance to visit, otherwise my heart will be unstable. ”

Tang Yin talked about the back, and talked about the origin of Zhu Hao's knowledge.

Zhu Hao smiled: "Aren't you my husband?" ”

Tang Yin shook his head, finally pulled his gaze back from the sky, and sighed: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" Even in front of Wang Bo'an, I didn't say so, the person who can teach you must have a very high level of knowledge, not a mediocre person like me can compare, in the future, you can talk to me about learning, we work together in the palace, you don't need to be too respectful to me. ”

said as if he wanted to dissociate himself from Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao smiled.

For others, being able to worship a famous teacher like Tang Yin is a blessing that has been cultivated for eight lifetimes, but for Zhu Hao, this is not the case.

It's rare for Tang Yin to be self-aware, and he has a lot of troubles, but outsiders ask if he really wants to be honest and say that he is "self-taught"?

Will someone jump out and cheekily say it's their husband?

It doesn't seem to be at the moment, but if you continue to participate in the imperial examination in the future, there will always be a teacher...... The red tape of officialdom will fall on him step by step.

……

……

Tang Yin went back to the city to return to King Xing, and Zhu Hao went to the ferry to make an appointment.

When Zhu Hao saw Su Xigui, he first talked about Ouyang Fei, wanting to test what Su Xigui's purpose was in introducing Ouyang Fei to Anlu.

Su Xigui said: "The daughter of a big family in Nanjing, a woman who even Chengguo coveted, actually signed a deed of sale and became your person...... Tsk, the world is impermanent, and Zhu Xiao's ability to be a master makes the contemptible people breathtaking. ”

"Master Su, my little proprietor didn't intend to embarrass Miss Ouyang......"

The shopkeeper hurriedly said good things for Zhu Hao.

Su Xigui stretched out his hand to interrupt the shopkeeper's words, and said with a smile: "Don't say much, I understand the situation, the Ouyang family owes a huge amount of foreign debt, I can't help myself, and besides, my friendship with her ancestors is not very deep, I won't ask how far her business has been." ”

It means that I don't want to know what Ouyang Fei experienced in Anlu, and what kind of situation she ended up in, she has to take responsibility for herself.

"Master Zhu, let's talk about business...... I heard that Anlu won a great victory against Kou, and you have a share of the credit, but how to inquire, I don't know where your credit comes from...... Can you tell the truth? ”

Su Xigui looked at Zhu Hao's eyes, full of expectation, and his eyes flashed with the little star of money.

That affectionate look......

Zhu Hao felt a chill and hurriedly said, "It's just to help the palace make suggestions." ”

"Huh!? It's as simple as giving advice? It is also strange to say that Jiangxi bandits have caused big riots in western Zhejiang, western Fujian, and northern Guangdong, how did they get to Huguang and Anlu, and they were so easily exterminated? I can't figure it out! ”

Su Xigui glanced at the shopkeeper as he spoke, as if he wanted to get an answer from this former subordinate.

But the shopkeeper didn't participate in it from the beginning, and he didn't know what was going on behind the scenes, so he naturally couldn't answer the question in Su Xigui's heart.

Su Xigui said again: "The contemptible people will stay in Anlu for ten days and a half months, if Zhu Xiao has something to do, just come and find ...... If there is any good business, I will also introduce one or two, and the contemptible people will go to the state government to see Xinzhizhou, so I won't bother much. ”

Zhu Hao didn't expect Su Xigui to be so easy to speak.

It may also be that Su Xigui really doesn't know what role Zhu Hao played in this war, otherwise with his character, it would be impossible not to mention the new gunpowder.

A secret recipe for drying salt will make Huang Zan enter the court and become a servant of the household department, if he gets any more powerful gunpowder, it will play a role in the fight against the Tatars in the northwest...... Aren't you going to be the secretary of the military department?

……

……

Zhu Hao returned to the palace.

Tang Yin had already seen King Xing, and stayed in the dormitory of the West Courtyard to wait for him, wondering if Zhu Hao had sold the gunpowder formula to Su Xigui, who was generous.

Zhu Hao said: "I said Mr. Tang, you don't trust me so much? Even if I really sell it to him, do you think Su Dong mainly uses the formula to do things that harm Daming? He will only help his brother-in-law to do his part in seeking an official position in the court, and dedicate the formula to His Majesty...... Besides, I said that I wouldn't give it to anyone, that is, it really won't. ”

"No, no, I never doubted you."

When Tang Yin said this, he felt empty-hearted.

Zhu Hao was speechless for a while, why didn't you force me to ask me?

Tang Yin said: "I heard the warden of the palace mention that Yuan Changshi secretly consulted with people to see if it is necessary to send you to Nanjing Guozijian to study, study for a year or two, and then come back when the examination hall is examined...... It's still under discussion, so it's hard to do it for sure, but you have to be prepared. ”

Zhu Hao nodded.

It seems that Yuan Zonggao really wants to launch a counterattack.

first targeted Tang Yin, and later found that Zhu Hao and Tang Yin Meng were not out of focus, and they simply did not implement any strategy of division and disintegration, sending him away and cutting off Tang Yin's arm may be the best strategy.

"It's rare that he strongly recommended you in front of King Xing before, asking you to teach the prince, but secretly arranged for you to go to Nanjing...... It seems that your boy's life in the palace will not last long. ”

Tang Yin's words have obvious provocative intentions, and he is saying in disguise, people are targeting you like this, should you take action?

It's your turn to perform!

Zhu Hao smiled: "Isn't this that the matter has not been decided yet?" I have a good relationship with the prince, and I'm afraid he won't want me to leave the palace. Besides, even if I go to Nanjing to study...... It doesn't have much impact on me, but Mr. Tang, if I leave, you will have a hard time in the palace in the future, right? ”

"What's the impact?"

Tang Yin didn't want to admit it.

Zhu Hao shook his head, and sighed with emotion: "I am young, I have no future in the palace in a short period of time, in fact, I want to go out to travel, if it weren't for Mr. Nanchang Tang last year, you were in trouble, maybe our family would go to Jiangnan, and now we are studying in Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places with peace of mind, why should we be involved in so many things in the palace?"

"Besides, I'm in the palace, and I'm not at the same pace as what the prince has learned, so it doesn't matter if I stay. So Mr. Tang doesn't have to worry about me, it's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, how big the world is, if the palace really intends to let me go to Nanjing Guozijian to study, I just go there to see. ”

……

……

Xingwangfu study.

Zhang Zuo was reporting the news of Jingshi's arrival to Zhu Youqi.

"Lord, at the beginning of this year, His Majesty has not looked at the court again, and the first assistant of the cabinet, Liang University, has played many times, asking His Majesty to go to court as usual, or to be left behind, or to refute it...... The northwest Xuanfu line has been completed, and I heard that His Majesty will go to the Xuanfu to stay in the near future...... Now the Beijing division is in chaos, and there are garrison eunuchs from all over the country to cater to the wishes of the people, looting the people's fat and people's ointment......"

In the tenth year of Zhengde, the basic market of the Ming Dynasty was still stable, but in the eleventh year of Zhengde, the situation changed abruptly.

First of all, the courtiers entered the palace on the first day of the first month to congratulate, but they waited for a whole day to see the emperor, and it was night when they left the palace, and the black lights were blind, and as a result, the ministers stepped on the dead when they went out of the palace, and since then the emperor has not even held the morning court.

The emperor does not care about government affairs, and all court affairs are nominally decided by the cabinet, but in fact, the power basically falls into the hands of the traitors and villains around the emperor.

Zhu Hao is familiar with history and knows that although Zhu Houzhao does not go to the court, he can basically read it in person, especially when it comes to major matters, but the courtiers see that the emperor does not go to the court, but the song Shu approves it, and can only think that the emperor handed over the right to approve the red to the celebrant supervisor, which is equivalent to the fall of the imperial power.

Naturally, the voices of dissent from the DPRK and China became louder.

Xingwangfu, as the location of the prince of the Ming Dynasty, naturally cares about this matter.

"Why is Your Majesty like this? This kid ...... I've been good at court affairs before, and I've never made a mistake. ”

After all, Zhu Houzhao is Zhu Youqing's junior, Zhu Youzhao didn't think about usurping his nephew's position, he just wanted to assist his nephew in governing the Ming Dynasty, but the current situation is that Zhu Houzhao's actions are becoming more and more absurd, and he used to favor Liu Jin, Qian Ning, Jiang Bin, Xu Tai and others, and now he even throws the court affairs aside.

Anyone who is loyal to the Ming royal family is worried that if this toss continues, the Ming Kingdom will be out of the country and will become chaotic.

Zhang Zuodao: "Last year, the imperial court and the Tatars fought a war, it seemed to take a small advantage, but it did not make the Tartars hurt their muscles and bones, after the beginning of spring this year, looting in the northwest has happened repeatedly, if Your Majesty rashly stationed in Xuanfu, what deviations, then how is it good?" ”

What he means is that the emperor likes to go to the border, in case of an accident during the battle with Yingzong Tumubao, whether the Ming can withstand another toss.

Zhu Youqi said: "That...... This king is going to play an exhortation? ”

"Lord, no, never!"

Zhang Zuo hurriedly dissuaded, "Now that the investigation has been made clear, the new Anlu Zhizhou is the eyeliner that the Queen Mother placed in the place to monitor my Xingwang Mansion, and the Queen Mother knows what happened back then...... At such times, Xingwangfu should be low-key and cautious, so as to respond to all changes. ”

The so-called events of the year are naturally the past of King Lixing, the abolished prince of Wan Guifei in the last years of Chenghua, and this matter has always been Xiaozong's heart disease.

Now that Xiaozong is not there, Zhu Houzhao has not had a son for a long time, and the status of Xingwangfu in Daming is becoming more and more important, and it has gradually become the heart disease of Empress Dowager Zhang.
