To deal with such a thing as rebellion, there is only one criterion for the emperor's family from ancient times to the present, to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

It's almost an unwritten rule.

A little better, solitary confinement, permanent solitary confinement.

This is already for the sake of family affection.

After all, this kind of thing is about the whole world, and it is their Zhu family's society.

But now look at Zhu Zhanji, this kid, not only has no seclusion, but also does not cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so that he can go in and out freely.

Now it's even more time for the second and third to start holding some power in their hands again.

Although as an emperor who started by rebellion, Zhu Di did not think it was right to do so, but in addition to his identity as an emperor, he was also a father and a grandfather.

When he got old, he saw that his family was harmonious, how could Zhu Di not be happy in his heart.

How could he not like seeing that his hand-picked successor could have such a mind for his uncle.

Let's get off the book

But after all, there was still Fan Zhong in front of him, and the old man Zhu Di was very happy in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface.

"This kid, no matter how important he is, he is still young......"

Listening to Zhu Di's words, Fan Zhong on the side scratched his head and didn't dare to speak.

But no matter how stupid and upright he is, he can always feel that what Emperor Zhu Di said is a little weird.

This grandson didn't do anything to his uncle, shouldn't you, the one who is looking behind his back, be happy?

But he didn't dare to say it.

I can only stand aside and giggle with me.

At the same time, I listened to the emperor ask about something, and then answered.

On the other side of the capital.

In recent days, the news that the imperial court has held various competitions has spread to various places, and many people have responded to it.

For those folk actors, families, and painters, their own social status is actually not high.

Even because they put their living conditions in the pockets of others, their status in this society is not as high as that of peasants.

Because in the eyes of the people of today's era, the peasants are in control of their own belly no matter what.

They grow crops every year to meet their food needs.

But those actors are different, they rely on those officials.

Whether you can eat enough or not depends on others.

And when the ability to eat a full stomach is controlled by others, it is determined that this person will not have too high social status.

This is antiquity.

It is different from the era when various types of work cooperated with each other in later generations.

It is precisely because of this environment that a smallholder mentality has been created.

Zhu Zhanji once watched a drama in his previous life, in the Ming Dynasty 1566, the beginning of the whole drama revolved around changing rice to mulberry.

And the reason why those people are reluctant to choose an option that can obtain higher returns is precisely because of this small-scale peasant mentality that has been ingrained in the land of China for thousands of years.

When it comes to food, the stability of being fed is more than anything else.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with this kind of thinking in ancient times, and the ancient social system did not have any promises to support it.

Everyone lives in the country as an individual and as a family.

So to survive stably, this is an inevitable need that everyone will have.

And in this case, no matter how much money you can make in such a group, no matter how much money you can make, when you see an opportunity that can be recognized by society, the enthusiasm that instantly erupts is unimaginable.

It's like Huashan in martial arts, competing for the first place in the world.

At the same time, this competition has more than just a name.

The most important thing is that while gaining fame, you can gain the recognition of the imperial court and the establishment of the imperial court.

And according to the announcement of the imperial court, these people can be officials!

Those who perform well and have outstanding abilities can get the court's monthly salary.

Together, these benefits have become the target of people all over the world.

Even those people who have land at home are also envious of these groups for the first time.

Gradually, after receiving the news, these people, who were afraid that they would not be able to catch up, began to rush to the capital.

Some even did not hesitate to spend all the money in their homes to make coils, and they also wanted to come to the capital to try it.

In this process, Zhu Zhanji seemed to know very well that many of these groups may not be in good condition, so he also issued a document by the way, asking the officials of various state capitals to take good care of these people.

If there is not enough entanglement and cannot eat, you can take the lead in borrowing from the yamen.

After verification by the Imperial Court, it will be returned from the treasury.

As a result, more and more people rushed to the capital to participate in the competition.

There are quite a few lively scenes that can only be found during the imperial examination.

Although the number of scholars who participated in the imperial examination could not be so large, it was the first time that it was held, and it was extremely difficult to have such a situation.

And with more and more such people, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, who are now in charge of these competitions, are also gradually busy.

Although it is far from the big things they used to do, it is the only thing they can do at the moment.

However, some ordinary small things, the two of them can decide at will, or order someone to handle it in detail, but now they see that the time for the start of the competition is getting closer and closer.

Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, couldn't help but mutter.

The reason is simple.

The tournament is about to start, and they don't have a detailed format and competition content yet.

The most important thing is that they don't know what Zhu Zhanji's kid is holding this competition for.

For example, the imperial examination is to recruit talents from all over the world.

In this way, in terms of the system of the imperial examination and the content of the assessment, they clearly know a direction.

But now, they don't even know the direction, and they don't even know why this competition is being held, how to formulate the competition system, and the content of this competition?

Although Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, both agreed to Zhu Zhanji to preside over this competition, they were uncles after all, and some of the things that happened before, how could they be embarrassed to be like a courtier, and ran to Zhu Zhanji in front of him to shout His Royal Highness Taisun, and then ask for instructions.

At this time, they were also worrying and deliberating about this matter in this house.

"Third brother, you also know your second brother's temper, if I go, I won't be able to get through that door. You've been thick-skinned since you were a child, you're fine, I think you'll go. ”

Hearing this, the third child, Zhu Gaosui, immediately said: "You have only been thick-skinned since you were a child." You're embarrassed, I'm embarrassed? If you don't go, I won't go. ”

Looking at the third Zhu Gaosui's dead pig appearance who was not afraid of boiling water, the second Zhu Gaoxu was also helpless.

The errands have been accepted, and now it's all time, and if you can't even do this little thing, you can't say anything.

Let's not talk about being laughed at, I'm afraid that the officials in the court will say that their eldest nephew is too soft-hearted, and these two uncles are simply not successful enough to fail.

At this time, the second and third children are still quite complicated in their hearts.

I want to do it well, but I'm afraid I'm a little embarrassed.

I want to just don't do it, but I want to do it, and I want others to say that they have the ability.

I'm even more afraid that others will say they can't do it.

Just when the second and third children in this house were worried and anxious about this matter, Zhao Quan and Zhao Gonggong in the palace suddenly came to the Han King's Mansion from the palace.

"Lord Wang."

Outside the study where the second and third children were discussing matters, a subordinate shouted quietly at the door.

Hearing this voice, the second child, who was frowning and didn't know what to do, immediately took his anger out on this person.

"Didn't I tell you not to disturb the king while he was deliberating?"

Listening to the words of Han King Zhu Gaoxu, the subordinates outside the door were also taken aback by this sudden reprimand, but after thinking about it carefully, they still chose to resist the pressure and said inside: "Lord, Gonggong Zhao in the palace is here." ”

Inside the house.

Zhu Gaoxu, who suddenly heard the words of his subordinates, was suddenly stunned.

Zhao Quan?

couldn't help but look at the third child next to him.

The third Zhu Gaosui was also the same as the second child at the moment, with a puzzled look on his face.

However, after thinking about it for a moment, the second Zhu Gaoxu said in a slightly softened tone: "Bring Father-in-law Zhao over." ”

"Yes."

A moment later.

That Zhao Quan came to Zhu Gaoxu's study in the Han Palace's mansion with a smile on his face.

"Small, I've seen two princes."

Listening to Zhao Quan's words, Zhu Gaoxu, who is also an old acquaintance of this Zhao Quan, naturally did not have any identity, nor did he deliberately be polite, but just raised his hand slightly as he did when the old man was in the past, and after signaling him to get up, he asked directly: "Father-in-law Zhao, but I haven't seen you for a few days, this time I suddenly came over, is there anything wrong?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Quan immediately smiled and said: "What can a small one do, a small thing, isn't it just an errand for a few masters." ”

Zhao Quan's words are also very subtle.

A few masters.

From the moment he first entered the door, he didn't show the slightest change from the past.

did not say that because the grandson was now on the throne, he ran to the grandson in a hurry, nor did he say that he had forgotten the old emperor, let alone show that he had anything to do with the two princes.

As respectful as ever, without the slightest sloppiness.

Listening to Zhao Quan's words, the second and third children were also a little more comfortable.

It's been so long since they've been back in the capital, and this is the first time they've felt the same way as before.

What do you say about this feeling..... Comfortable.

At this time, Zhu Gaosui, the third elder on the side, also spoke: "So, is the eldest nephew looking for something for us?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Quan hurriedly nodded, still smiling at the Zhao King Zhu Gaosui and replied: "Zhao Wangye's words are exactly His Royal Highness Taisun who has something to do." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Quan took out a fold from his arms, and then respectfully handed it to Zhu Gaoxu, the Han King with a higher status in front of him, and also said: "This is the small one that His Royal Highness Taisun wants to hand over to the two princes, His Royal Highness said, I was too busy a few days ago, and I forgot about this competition, and I hope the two princes will not be surprised." ”

"In addition, the content in this excerpt is some thoughts of His Royal Highness Taisun.... I want to ask the two princes to see if this method is feasible, and if it is feasible, it will be chosen by the two princes. ”

When he said this, Zhao Quan once again accentuated the words 'idea' and 'selection', but after saying it, there was no trace, which made people not feel the slightest discomfort.

For the current situation and thoughts of the two princes, it can be regarded as a guess.

It takes great care of their current extremely sensitive self-esteem.

For this Zhao Quan's kindness, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, both knew it.

Because dealing with this Zhao Quan is not once or twice, they still have some understanding of this Zhao Quan's effective method.

This scene is as if before the old man 'died', when their brothers made mistakes, and this Zhao Gonggong would reveal some information to them without a trace.

When he understood all this, and for the first time realized and felt the kindness of Zhao Quan, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, was also an understanding person, and for the first time after hearing these words, he arched his hand with the respect of the prince and said to Zhao Quan: "Since this is the case, thank you Zhao Gonggong." ”

Seeing this scene, Zhao Quan knew that King Han understood, and still waved his hand with a smile on his face and said: "How dare you, the small one is to send a message to His Royal Highness the Taisun, since this word is finished, the little one will retreat first." ”

Hearing this, although the third brother Zhu Gaosui did not fully understand the thoughts between the second child and Zhao Quan, but seeing that the second child had given up, he naturally did not need to put up any shelf, and hurriedly said to Zhao Quan: "Then Zhao Gonggong go slowly." ”

Zhao Quan smiled and nodded, and without waiting for the King of Han and King Zhao to say anything, he hurriedly took the lead and said, "The two princes will stay, and the younger one will retreat first." ”

With that, he turned around and left the study.

After Zhao Quan left, the third Zhu Gaosui glanced at Zhao Quan, who was gradually moving away outside the door, and then turned his head to look at the second child, saying something about this competition.

But the second child on the side, although his eyes looked at the fold in his hand, he didn't know what he was thinking.

I didn't listen to what the third man said at all.

Finally, he patted the fold in his hand, and shook his head with the corners of his mouth slightly curled.

It wasn't until this time that the second child really heard the words from the third child's mouth.

"Second, second? Dick! What do I want to talk to you? ”

Zhu Gaoxu, the second child who turned around, looked at the third child with a smile and said, "What did you say?" You say, I'll listen. ”

Looking at the appearance of the second child, the third child was just puzzled for a moment, and then asked again: "I said that we should call a few more ministers to come over and discuss, and how should we arrange this competition next?" ”

Hearing that this question was asked, the second Zhu Gaoxu immediately smiled, and then threw the fold in his hand into the arms of the third child, and said, "What are you discussing?" What else is there to negotiate. Just follow the contents of this excerpt. ”

But when he heard this, the third child frowned and said, "Just follow the method in the excerpt?" Second brother, didn't we discuss it before, this time we have to do things beautifully, otherwise it will be easy to attract gossip? ”
