It's almost July in the blink of an eye.

It has been more than four months since the end of the examination, and the palace examination is still far away, and the emperor's return date has not yet been determined, but there are rumors that the emperor will be captured in Nanjing.

Zhu Hao knew how nonsense this ceremony led by Wang Shouren was, and the final result was that Zhu Houzhao had had enough of playing in the south and set out to return in September......

This involves a major event that Zhu Hao has been concerned about recently, he has to ensure that the rolling wheel of history will not deviate, so that Zhu Houzhao will fall into the water and get sick according to the development of history.

Su Xigui had already rushed to Nanjing in June.

Huang Zan left one step ahead of Su Xigui to take up his post.

Before Su Xigui left, he told Zhu Hao a little-known secret, that is, Zhu Houzhao had been taking pills for a long time, and his health was not as good as before, and he had vomited blood in mid-April.

This made Zhu Hao keenly aware that Zhu Houzhao's death was not simply because he fell into the water and contracted the disease, if he was infected with wind cold and got pneumonia, and he did not die until the spring of the next year, and it took more than half a year in the middle, would it be too procrastinating?

Obviously, before Zhu Houzhao fell into the water, his body had already turned evil, which is why Su Xigui had to meet Zhu Hao before leaving.

“…… Zhu Hao, you mean that the emperor's health is not very good? ”

When Zhu Hao gave Zhu Si a lesson, he did not mention Zhu Houzhao's vomiting blood, but only said that his cousin was not as healthy as before because of the long-term use of the pills provided by the Taoist sect and the Buddhist family.

This is actually a disguised warning to Zhu Si, planting the stereotype that "the pill is the medicine of the tiger and the wolf", even if it can't prevent him from taking the pill after ascending the throne as the emperor, at least Zhu Si can be cautious, and then he will come to ask for his opinion.

Zhu Hao nodded: "I expect that the emperor will have some kind of change on the way back to Beijing, and once he returns to Beijing, his body will collapse...... Speaking of which, you have less than a year to ascend the throne as the emperor and become the lord of the Ming Dynasty......"

"This ...... Can't be sure, right? ”

Zhu Si's eyes widened, obviously not convinced.

After Zhu Hao's edification, the current Zhu Si already has a strong materialistic outlook, and he is skeptical of the theory of ghosts and gods, even if this kind of prophecy comes from Zhu Hao's mouth, he does not dare to fully believe it.

Zhu Hao smiled faintly, looking like a master outside the world, and said, "Wait, the news should come soon." ”

……

……

Zhu Hao wanted to give Zhu Si a false impression and make him feel that if something happened to Zhu Houzhao, it was related to his careful planning.

It is equivalent to letting Zhu Si remember his feelings.

Of course, it is very difficult to convince Zhu Si, and it is even more undesirable to say it explicitly.

It is to create all kinds of illusions, impose all kinds of psychological hints on them, let them guess in their hearts and gradually deepen this impression, and in the end, even if they dig deeper, Zhu Hao can completely shirk it, I didn't do anything, why do you think so?

Knowing each other is the best way to do it.

Could it be that Zhu Hao wants to tell Zhu Si that I will assassinate the emperor?

Zhu Sixin said it or not, if Zhu Houzhao didn't have an accident, what should he say? Now Zhu Si can't care about it, when he becomes the emperor, won't he send someone to investigate?

If Zhu Hao didn't say anything, but just made Zhu Si think so, then even if Zhu Si wanted to find out in the future, there would be no way to find out.

Zhu Hao originally wanted to use Su Xigui's troupe, which he had trained by himself, to hold Zhu Houzhao back, but now it seems that he can't even control Zhu Houzhao's schedule, and it is impossible for Zhu Houzhao to complete a specific thing at a specific time and in a specific area.

……

……

End of July.

The heat of the Kyoshi has just dissipated.

Jiang Lun brought back the news, informing the Ministry of Rites that the Ministry of Rites had been played, asking the emperor to complete the inheritance of King Xing as soon as possible, so that Zhu Si could return to Anlu to take care of King Xing's mansion.

Zhu Si has been in the capital for nearly a year, and the foreign vassal kings have been in Beijing for a long time, which is not legal in itself, and the center originally had the idea of keeping Zhu Si in Beijing as a hostage and "prince", and Zhu Houzhao pushed Zhu Si to the throne as soon as possible after the accident in the south of the Yangtze River, which was convenient and quick and easy to control.

Now that Emperor Zhengde has made it clear that he wants to accept the prisoners in Nanjing, Wang Shouren has redrafted the good news, and recorded the merits of the emperor and Jiang Bin, Zhang Zhong and others in pacifying King Ning, and the emperor's return date has basically been determined.

At the beginning, Empress Dowager Zhang still felt that King Xing had just died, so it was necessary to suppress Zhu Si appropriately and plant the seeds of fear of heaven and dare not covet the throne in her heart.

After a year, all parties have been stable, and Empress Dowager Zhang feels that leaving Zhu Si in the capital is simply a matter of adding to the snake, what threat can a child have to herself and her son? It's best to release it early, so that you can't see it.

In this case, all parties were not very interested in whether Zhu Si stayed in the capital, but some people felt that Zhu Si's stay in Beijing was a challenge to the imperial power...... Since you are not the crown prince, do you want to give the world the illusion that you stayed in the capital to be the prince?

Zhu Si, as the king of Xing, is just a puppet who comes and goes when the court calls for it, and now he feels that Zhu Si is a burden to stay in the capital, and the court will not be polite, just wait for the Ministry of Rites to be approved, and Zhu Si will be "driven" back to Anlu, and from then on stay in Anlu City, and he can't go anywhere.

On the second day of August, Zhu Hao met Zhu Wanhong.

Zhu Wanhong did not mention Zhu's family affairs to Zhu Hao, but warmly congratulated Zhu Haozhong Gongshi.

"What has Uncle done in the past six months? Are you too busy with official business to come to see my nephew? ”

Zhu Hao asked with a grin.

Zhu Wanhong said: "Virtuous nephew, even if you will be a jinshi in the future and become an official in the court, the elders will always be the elders, you must understand the importance of respecting the teacher...... Oh, respect the truth of the elders, what the elders say you listen to, what you shouldn't ask, it's better to ask less. ”

Seeing that the other party came up and put on a shelf, Zhu Hao was amused and asked, "Is that uncle going out with me?" ”

"No outside, no outside."

Zhu Wanhong smiled and said, "We are the same clan, blood relatives, why bother to see outside?" Recently, Uncle has been running out of money......"

Zhu Hao interrupted him, shook his head and sighed: "Recently, I don't have a lot of money, and business is not good." ”

Zhu Wanhong asked in surprise: "You still call business not good?" I heard that the cloth produced in your workshop is about to be sold out in Beijing, and it is of good quality and low price, and everyone praises it, and the powerful people ask around, where does this cheap and good cloth come from, and you say that if the uncle tells them...... Of course, the uncle won't say it, the uncle is just making an assumption, if they really know the inside story, are you ......?"

Threat!

The threat of the red fruit!

Zhu Hao squinted and said: "Uncle is not only short of money, I think he is also short of heart!" ”

"How do you talk to your elders?"

Zhu Wanhong scolded with a straight face.

Zhu Hao said: "I mean, Uncle can earn benefits by leaking this matter, why is it still secret?" I also want to use my uncle's mouth to make my cloth famous...... Recently, I haven't shipped much in the market, and it's not because the owner of the Su has taken away all my goods, saying that he is going to be transferred to Jiangnan as a military supply......"

The old and the young faced each other.

Zhu Wanhong found that why can't he get a cheap price at all? hurriedly changed his strategy and said, "Your grandmother has been thinking about giving you a marriage recently." ”

Zhu Hao: "......"

It's not shocking, you talk to me for a long time, and finally tell me that the Zhu family is ready to use marriage to regain control of me? You said it earlier!

"Zhu Hao, you don't know how famous you are now, everyone in the Beijing Division knows that you are a young talent, and you have won two yuan...... If you are a scholar in your twenties, it may not be unusual, but you are not very old, you can be described as a teenager! ”

Zhu Hao frowned: "What do you mean, uncle?" ”

Zhu Wanhong said with a smile: "I mean, if the family gives you a marriage affair, a little bit of rumor, there will be a large number of people to send their daughters to your door, each family chooses sons-in-law to value the potential, young talents may be able to make a difference in the future, but the future is unpredictable, and you don't need to talk about potential here, you will be famous directly, you are a sweetheart, you know?" ”

Zhu Hao smiled bitterly: "My marriage, I don't have to worry about my grandmother for me, right?" ”

"If the elders don't worry about you, who will? I know what you think, and I don't support your grandmother doing that, but your mother ...... I don't have much knowledge, and my connections are not extensive, so at most, I can only give you a little bit of Zhang Luo in Anlu, can I compare with the Zhu family? In fact, if you think about it, it is reasonable for your grandmother Zhang Luo to let you marry a wishful wife earlier. ”

Zhu Wanhong is pure nonsense, but what he said has some truth.

If you want to get married this year, it is definitely the order of your parents, and the matchmaker said, what kind of wife can you marry in that small place in Anlu? can be transferred to the capital, with the background of the Zhu family's Jinyi Wei Thousand Households, as well as his identity as Zhu Hao's quasi-jinshi, he can naturally recruit good people.

"No, I heard that even the granddaughter of the Lu Shangshu family in the Ministry of Officials wants to marry you." Zhu Wanhong said with a smile.

When Zhu Hao heard this, he almost vomited blood.

Sure enough, Lu Wan's marriage is still involved in his head, but the Zhu family wants to take the initiative to pull the strings?

Zhu Wanhong sighed: "But everyone knows that Lu Shangshu will not be long in life, and most of his family members will be confiscated into the official, so it is said that the women's Taoist family will never be able to do great things, and your grandmother has no foresight in this regard." ”

Zhu Hao frowned: "Uncle is quite well-informed......

"You're not well-informed? Uncle knows that Lu Shangshu has two or three months to live a good life at most, even if he has a secret relationship with Ping Yubo, but Ping Yubo will not help him in this kind of matter, and will even fall into the ground, literati are like this, you take you seriously when you have ambition, once you are unlucky, not only will you not help, but even have to step on the situation. ”

Zhu Wanhong suddenly laughed, "Look at your nephew, your uncle helped you in the matter of marriage, do you see if it's ......?"

Speaking of which, it's just to ask for money?

Zhu Hao said: "Uncle is so short of money as a thousand households in brocade clothes? ”

"What happened to Jinyi Wei Qianhu? This has nothing to do with lack of money or not, others can blackmail officials, and some people stutter, maybe there is no shortage of money, you know Uncle I have a breeze on my sleeves......"

"Uncle, we are real people, let's just say it."

"Oh, you see, uncle, I'm only responsible for keeping an eye on Xingwangfu, no one is stammering, I have a wife at home but I'm old, I don't even have a concubine by my side, and I usually have to socialize outside, isn't that all white silver?"

That's really "straightforward".

Zhu Hao said: "Okay, I'll raise fifty taels of silver when I go back today, and I'll send it to your uncle early tomorrow morning, and give me an address." ”

said so on his lips, but he was scolding in his heart, damn, he was abducted and deceived by this old guy for fifty taels, waiting, and turning around to get all the profits back.
