Chapter 2: Being Human Again
Having said that, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are all ruthless people, and it is also a shame that his brother-in-law is the Emperor Hongxi of the later generations.
Of course...... Having said that, Zhang Anshi still regards his brother-in-law as his dearest, and for the sake of his brother-in-law, he has to change his image, so as not to make his notoriety an excuse for his brother-in-law to be attacked.
Okay, it's decided, to be a new person, the kind that wants immediate results!
Following.
Zhang Anshi got up early in the morning, and the three greetings arranged for washing.
The Zhang family's mansion occupies a small area, after all, Nanjing City is an inch of land, plus his father died early, and although his brother-in-law Zhu Gaochi is the prince, but the status is quite embarrassing.
After washing up, Zhang San came in with a probe and said, "Childe, Young Master Zhu is here." ”
Young Master Zhu......
In Daming, the surname Zhu is not the imperial family, and he is qualified to be called a young master by Zhang San...... There is only one person...... That is the son of Chengguo Gong of the Dynasty - Zhu Yong.
This guy has always been Zhang Anshi's fox friend and dog friend.
Sure enough, before Zhang Anshi could react, he heard laughter, and then saw Zhu Yong rushing in impatiently.
At this time, although Zhu Yong was only a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, his figure was very burly, I saw him rolling up his sleeves, carrying a lacquer box in his hand, and said loudly: "Anshi, Anshi, look, I found a good grasshopper, hehe...... Looks like a cow......"
As soon as Zhang Anshi saw Zhu Yong, all of a sudden, he seemed to be accessible all of a sudden.
own reputation...... It seems to be saved.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Anshi's eyes brightened a little when he looked at Zhu Yong, and laughed: "You came just in time, let's go, let's go to school." ”
"Enrollment?" When Zhu Yong heard this, his eyes were about to fall, and he said in shock: "We two brothers, we have been skipping school for half a month, and An Shi is not crazy......"
Zhang Anshi looked at him with strange eyes: "No, no, is there still a person like you who doesn't like to learn in this world?" ”
In the early morning, the city of Nanjing is filled with haze and mist, which seems to be unable to blow, accompanied by morning dew, giving people a sense of coolness.
Zhang Anshi and Zhu Yong sat in a carriage, and the carriage was wheeling on the bluestone road.
Although it was early, many people had already hidden in the mist and started their livelihood for the day.
The school where Zhang Anshi and Zhu Yong used to study was actually located in a remote corner not far from the Confucian Temple, which was also the residence of the Guozi priest Jiu Hu Yan, and the courtyard of the two entrances, because there were not many children of the lords who came to study, and the study hall was only temporary, and Hu Yan's teaching was carried out in the front yard.
Emperor Yongle deeply felt the importance of education for his children, so he specially issued an edict and ordered the prince of the country to open an inner school here to recruit the children of meritorious heroes and nobles to study here.
At this time, it was still early in the morning, and there were already teenagers in twos and threes.
According to the rules, at this time, Hu Yan sat in Minglun Hall, sitting steadily, and all the teenagers who came to study rushed in and went to give Hu Yan a salute first.
As soon as Zhang Anshi and Zhu Yong arrived, they immediately caused a sensation, obviously these two are old fritters, and they came to school like the sun hitting the west.
Zhang Anshi didn't care, entered Minglun Hall, and also saluted Hu Yan like others: "Student Zhang Anshi, I have seen my teacher. ”
"Zhang Anshi......" Hu Yan is still expressionless, this prince's brother-in-law, just a gentleman, has also come to read a few days before, but he didn't come soon.
Of course, Hu Yan didn't care, most of these imperial relatives and meritorious children were waiting for death by virtue of their ancestors, His Majesty ordered him to give lectures here, in fact, he didn't expect them to really learn any skills, just don't cause chaos to the people of Nanjing.
Hu Yan nodded indifferently.
From the very beginning, Hu Yan was like a stake, he didn't seem to see joy and anger, and there was not the slightest wave on his face.
When the teenagers came seventeen or eighteen, Hu Yan said: "When the time comes, there should be thirty-nine people, but there are seventeen people......
Hu Yan didn't seem to be annoyed by the excessive absenteeism rate, and was still calm.
Cultivation, do you understand?
This class of students, he can't take it.
If you don't have enough self-cultivation, you'll be angry a long time ago.
Hu Yan picked up the book on the coffee table casually and said, "Today...... Let's still talk about the "Book of Shang", among the books: insulting one's own virtue and defeating morality. ”
Hu Yan is like a moral gentleman, and it seems that for these teenagers, his favorite thing is to talk about the articles on morality in the Four Books and Five Classics.
One by one, the teenagers began to fall asleep.
Zhang Anshi's eyelids also began to fight.
Until a bang, Zhang Anshi suddenly woke up.
It seemed that Hu Yan was looking forward to this voice more than Zhang Anshi, and he said, "Okay, get out of class." ”
With that, he walked away without looking back.
There were cheers in Minglun Hall.
A group of teenagers each looked for someone they knew and began to chatter.
Zhang Anshi didn't expect that he was actually quite popular in school, and immediately a group of teenagers surrounded him, Zhang Anshi relied on his memory, and first recognized a small boy Zhang Xuan.
I saw Zhang Xuan say: "Why did Brother Zhang come to school today?" ”
This Zhang Xuan, of course, is unknown in history, but his father, Zhang Yu, the king of Hejian, was a famous general when the Yongle Emperor was martyred, Zhang Yu died in battle in order to protect the Yongle Emperor, and the Yongle Emperor was greatly grieved, so he posthumously named Zhang Yu as the king of the river.
Zhang Xuan is only Zhang Yu's youngest son, his elder brother Zhang Fu is now the commander of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and his aunt is the concubine of the Yongle Emperor.
However, this kid is still young, and he is also a junior in school, and at this time, he is the most admired person like Zhang Anshi who dares to skip school.
Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Of course, I am here to study, I want to learn literature and martial arts well and be a useful person." ”
His voice fell, and Zhu Yong on the side had already taken out his lacquer box from his sleeve, and said, "Come, come, come and see my grasshopper." ”
Everyone was attracted to Zhu Yong.
Zhang Anshi shook his head and said, "What's so fun about the grasshopper." ”
Zhu Yong is Zhang Anshi's sworn friend, and immediately said: "What's the matter, what's so fun about Anshi?" ”
Zhang Anshi sighed and said, "These days, I study at home......"
When the teenagers heard this, they immediately showed an incredible look.
Zhang Anshi said again: "After studying at home, I suddenly had an epiphany, and suddenly thought, how can I wait for the emperor's relatives and relatives to eat and wait for death all day long?" No, we're going to do big things in the future. ”
Hearing that they were doing something big, the teenagers were full of enthusiasm.
These guys are pampered on weekdays, and it is the time when they are the most strong, for fear that the world will not be chaotic, especially that Zhang Xuan, and said with great interest: "What kind of big things to do, count me as one." ”
Zhang Anshi looked at Zhang Xuan with a smile and said, "You...... I'm too young and not brave enough......"
When Zhang Xuan heard this, he immediately said angrily: "I am very bold. ”
Zhang Anshi had no choice but to sigh, and as if he was doing a trick from his sleeve, he actually took out a cannonball.
This is really a cannon battle, firecrackers are already very common at this time, but the cannon battle in Zhang Anshi's hand is obviously an enlarged model, as big as half a fist.
Zhang Anshi said: "Have you ever played artillery battles? ”
Zhang Xuan said: "Why haven't you played? During the New Year's holidays, I personally lit the artillery battles at home. ”
Zhang Anshi suddenly looked like he had finally found a talent: "It's not a skill to light an artillery battle, do you dare to use an artillery battle to blow up the dung pit?" ”
Zhang Xuan suddenly came to his senses and muttered: "Yes, why didn't I expect it, Brother Zhang, I really admire you, you can actually think of this." ”
Zhang Anshi shook his head with a smile: "It's not really good to blow up the dung pit with artillery. ”
At this time, the school was divided into two factions, seven or eight people were still sitting on their desks and reading books seriously, deaf to this, and the rest of the teenagers were curious and surrounded Zhang Anshi like hungry and thirsty.
Zhang Anshi lowered his voice and said, "I just don't know, if anyone dares to ...... when Mr. Yan is complimentary."
Good guys, many gasped.
Zhang Xuan wiped the snot that was about to come out of his nose, and he couldn't help but feel timid.
"Forget it......"
"I dare!" Zhang Xuan was more serious.
