It's just June.

At this time, Zhu Niang was already preparing for Zhu Hao to go to the provincial capital to participate in the township examination, and the large boxes and small boxes were enough to fill three carriages, and planned to let Yu San and Uncle Zhong accompany Zhu Hao to Wuchang Mansion to take the exam, and everything that could be arranged was arranged.

The shopkeeper was originally only responsible for business matters, but at this time, he was also temporarily dispatched by Zhu Niang to let him make connections along the way through relationships.

What underworld, white, government, green forest...... It made the shopkeeper anxious, inexplicable.

However, the shopkeeper can understand Zhu Niang's ardent expectations for her son to become famous, and also hopes that Zhu Hao can go to high school in one fell swoop, so that doing business with Zhu Hao, a young owner, can get more protection.

Although Zhu Niang's conditions often made the brain circuit of the shopkeeper unable to keep up, he still accepted all of them and did his best to help arrange them.

Su Xigui has now shifted his business focus out of Huguang and Jiangxi, mainly in Zhejiang, north and south, and northwest China.

Nowadays, the business of Huguang is basically taken over by the newly rising officials and businessmen.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, although Huang Zan belonged to Gao Sheng, he would not be cold as soon as he left, but he could not leave the position of the political envoy and occupied the thatched pit in Huguang and refused to let him.

Even so, the influence of Huang Zan and Su Xigui in Huguang, Jiangxi and other places should not be underestimated, and the new officials and businessmen still need to rely on Su Xigui's business channels to ensure the supply of various in-demand materials.

It can only be said that Su Xigui is too shrewd in business, the stall is large and stable, and the average official wants to cultivate an official businessman, and it is good to make some hard-earned money.

In this way, through the shopkeepers left by Su Xigui in Huguang, Zhu Hao arranged for Zhu Hao to stay overnight along the way to Wuchang Mansion......

And Wuchang Mansion is not to mention, after all, it was Su Xigui's lair, and he left a lot of industries in Wuchang, so that when Zhu Hao arrived in Wuchang Mansion, he didn't have to live in the inn, and directly arranged the mansion, the maids and servants prepared a lot, and even the cooks in the kitchen were at the level of the chef of the wine store......

With the meaning of the horse shopkeeper, Zhu Hao arrived at Wuchang Mansion, just like going to his own home.

"In addition, the owner of the Su said that after the township test, he will visit in Wuchang Mansion...... Little owner, you also know that the owner of the Su does not often go back to Huguang now, and Anlu is not good at coming often, at most he will stay in Wuchang Mansion......"

The shopkeeper works diligently, and many times he learns from Su Xigui, the former owner.

Zhu Hao can only say that Su Xigui not only knows how to do business, but also pays attention to the play of his personal abilities when training his shopkeepers, and will not formulate some rules and regulations for him to complete within this framework, which is very good to maintain the autonomy of his shopkeepers.

Those who have been trained are all good at doing business!

Zhu Hao sometimes feels embarrassed, he and his subordinates may not be as innocent as Su Xigui, gags at will, and sometimes has to take care of each other's face and dignity, and can't let go.

……

……

At this time, there was a haze in the Xingwang Mansion.

Zhu Youqi was bedridden, and the pain tortured him day by day, in such an era when there were no painkillers, the cancer was terminal, and the disease entered the bone marrow, and the severe pain was unbearable, but the patient had no way but to carry it.

Zhu Si was also distracted in class because of his father's illness, and occasionally Zhu Hao asked him to stand up and say something, but Zhu Si also looked absent-minded.

Jing Hong doesn't like to ask about things in the palace recently, because he has successfully passed the palace exam, and with the idea of the Jing family, Jing Hong will take the hospital exam in the next year, whether he passes the exam or not, he will leave the palace and return to his hometown.

The Jing family may have found that they have not achieved any substantial returns on their investment in Xingwangfu in the past few years, even if the purpose is only to let their children have a good relationship with Xingwang Shizi, but in the past five years, love and righteousness have long been cultivated, and it is time to take their children back to their parents......

Any parent is reluctant to let their children study in a foreign land all the time.

To say that Jinghong has been very diligent in the past two or three years, and the time to go back to save his relatives every year is only a handful, after all, it will take about ten days to go back and forth, and he will live at home for a few more days...... It's not good to go down for more than half a month.

However, Jinghong's mother occasionally comes to Anlu to visit her children.

"Life and death have a destiny and wealth in the sky, I want to open some."

On this day, Zhu Hao continued to teach Zhu Si to play Go, and after a few steps, Zhu Si was full of mistakes and omissions, and Zhu Hao knew that his mind was not on this, so he comforted him.

Zhu Si raised his head: "Zhu Hao, when your father passed away, were you sad?" ”

Zhu Hao thought to himself, my father after crossing is a symbol, I have never seen it, my father has been dead for almost two years when I have this body dominance, and there is no emotional bond at all.

Sad?

It may be that when I saw Zhu Niang and Aunt Li crying to the spiritual position, my heart was faintly touched, but even Zhu Niang and Aunt Li are almost friends or partners in the meaning of Zhu Hao.

"I was too young to understand that, but now I want to ...... Who wants their loved ones to be away forever? But one always has to look forward. ”

Zhu Hao wanted to comfort Zhu Si, but when he said it, he felt so pale and powerless.

Zhu Si casually picked up a chess piece and put it on the chessboard, but it was another stinky move, but Zhu Hao no longer corrected it.

Zhu Sidao: "My mother said, if my father is gone, we orphans and widows will be bullied...... There are no good people in this court at all. ”

Even Princess Jiang began to instill a sense of crisis in her son, and Zhu Hao felt that his previous efforts were not in vain.

"There are some things I don't know if I should say to you."

Zhu Hao said after putting down the chess pieces.

Zhu Si was absent-minded: "Say it." We are friends, you have saved my life three times, even my mother said that others will harm me, but you will not. ”

Zhu Hao thought to himself, does Princess Jiang really think so?

Didn't you use Zhu Si's mouth to paralyze me?

But thinking about it again, a mother found that there was someone who saved her son three times in a row, not every time it was a coincidence, and Zhu Hao stepped forward and took a great risk to enter the palace to treat Zhu Si...... The conspirator will consider whether there is a secret behind it, but the mother takes this person as a matter of course for the noble person in her son's life.

"So, do you think, why did your father suddenly get sick in the past two years, and his illness was getting worse day by day?" Zhu Hao threw out an explosive question.

Zhu Si looked confused: "Isn't my father sick?" You just said that life and death are life and wealth. ”

Zhu Hao sighed: "There are some things, in fact, I shouldn't say to you, but you must know that there has always been a feud between the imperial court and the Xingwang Mansion, and I have mentioned to you the root cause of the contradiction between the Xingwang Mansion and the current royal family......

Zhu Si's expression became serious, and after lowering his head and thinking carefully, he asked, "Could that be...... Someone secretly poisoned it? ”

"It's hard to say, in fact, King Xing is not very old, not to the point of old age, but if you want to say poison or murder...... The palace is heavily guarded, and there may not be a way...... I'm just proposing this idea, don't take it too seriously. ”

Zhu Hao said in the end, and persuaded Zhu Si to open a little.

But he led the words away in order to cause a ripple in Zhu Si's heart, and the words that followed were purely to add fuel to the fire.

Plant a seed of suspicion and hatred in your kid's heart, so that you have resentment towards the court, and after a series of clues are presented, you will maintain a kind of hatred...... It is only when you have this hatred that your grudge with the current royal family and the ministers of the court will not be easily reconciled.

This is exactly the reason why Zhu Hao first told Tang Yin that he wanted the prince to have a grudge against the court, but this grudge could not be passed on to the Zhu family.

In other words, it doesn't matter if you hate the Zhu family or not, as long as you don't hate me.

In other words, Zhu Hao is an arch fire.

……

……

King Xing knows that the deadline is approaching, not to mention the end of the year, and even the end of this month may not be able to last.

The royal palace has begun preparations for the funeral.

Princess Jiang is in charge of this matter, and Yuan Zonggao is the nominal presiding person, but in fact, all matters have to go through Zhang Zuo's hands, after all, the budget and expenditure need to be transferred from the treasury, and these are all controlled by Zhang Zuo.

Because Zhang Zuo was not confident in handling matters, in order to convince others, he often asked Tang Yin for advice, which made Tang Yin the busiest person in the palace during this time.

On this day, Tang Yin was busy for a long time, and it was rare to find time to meet with Zhu Hao in the afternoon, and the two sat in the canteen of the West Courtyard to eat.

Jinghong went back to the dormitory after eating early that day, leaving Zhu Hao and Tang Yin sitting there.

Tang Yin sighed: "If it is not bad as expected, it will be a matter of the past few days......

One sentence shows that Zhu Youqi's current situation is not the end of the month, nor the middle of the month...... Historically, Zhu Youqi was hung up on June 17, and Zhu Chenhao's rebellion began on June 14.

Of course, there is a certain time lag between what happens and what gets the news.

Even if Zhu Chenhao rebelled in Jiangxi and spread to Anlu, it would be around June 25 at the earliest, and if something happened in the middle, it would probably take more than half a month.

It's not just Anlu, even the news transmission in Jingshi and other places has a lag.

For example, in history, Wang Shouren's battle against King Ning took place on July 26, but when Zhu Houzhao set out on August 22, he did not know that King Ning's rebellion had been quelled.

"The letter you wrote to Wang Zhongcheng before, has it been delivered?" Zhu Hao inquired.

In order to let Wang Shouren prepare for war in advance, Zhu Hao asked Tang Yin to write a letter to Wang Shouren in his name, warning that King Ning's rebellion would occur after the imperial court's will to seize King Ning's guard was issued, and the time would probably be in mid-June, so that Wang Shouren could be vigilant and deal with it well.

Tang Yin nodded: "No, I won't come to you for this matter, you said that King Ning would cause trouble recently, but there is no news yet, will it ...... Well, if you say it, it's basically the truth. ”

"Haha."

Zhu Hao couldn't help grinning.

Tang Yin learned smartly.

In the past, when Zhu Hao said something, Tang Yin would always question it, but now he finally stopped struggling, knowing that your kid will definitely be right, what is the point of me still begging to ask in vain?

Or do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, and say whatever you ask me to say.
