Qi Chunnian was beaten away by Zhu Youzhen.

His life was almost ended.

It stands to reason that under such circumstances, Qi Chunnian can no longer die, and should choose to stop and give up the delusion of becoming the prince's teacher.

Moreover, on February 13, Zhu Youzhen, who was in a rebellious psychological state, simply asked Jiang Fengyuan, Zhan Shiyao Minggong and others to officially go to the East Palace to teach the prince.

In this battle for the prince's right to educate, because Qi Chunnian jumped out of the operation of death, Xu Jiazhuang had not yet shown his strength in the field of education, so he was defeated so neatly.

The civil servants won a big victory with ease.

The civil officials and Confucians who learned about this in private laughed wildly and celebrated one after another:

"If you don't measure yourself, you dare to compete with us for the prince?"

"It's so funny, does Xu Jiazhuang want to teach the prince how to do business and make money?"

"Your Majesty and the crown prince will always be on our side, what is Xujiazhuang?"

"Although we are helpless against Xujiazhuang at the moment, when the crown prince is cultivated and the new emperor who trusts us more ascends the throne, the end of Xujiazhuang will come, and it will be destroyed in the hands of the new emperor."

"Yes, we must cultivate the prince well, and we must not allow anyone or any force to lead His Royal Highness the prince astray, and we must not allow the slightest mistake!"

The civil officials were overjoyed, and formulated a more meticulous plan for the education of the prince, intending to train the prince to be the most qualified and most suitable prince for their requirements.

The other side.

Qi Chunnian did not give up, and he does not intend to give up!

Even if he can't be the prince's teacher, he can't disappear from the prince's growth and stand aside completely.

What's more, there are a lot of excellent teachers in Xujiazhuang, and it is no problem to send a few to the capital, and they are much more reliable than him in the spring year.

It's really not good, you can also let someone who has a good relationship with Xujiazhuang, such as Fang Yizhi, serve as the prince's teacher, even if Fang Yizhi's own job is very busy, but it's okay to take some time out occasionally.

In short, Qi Chunnian proposed several sets of plans, and then asked Wang Chengen to help deliver them by writing a letter, but as soon as Zhu Youzhen saw the letter, he immediately tore it to pieces, or threw it into the brazier, and chose to ignore it.

This is true for days on end.

It can be seen that Zhu Youjian in an angry state can be described as not eating soft and hard, and not eating oil and salt.

Helpless!

Qi Chunnian had to take a roundabout route and wrote a few letters full of sincerity, asking Wang Chengen to hand them over to Empress Zhou first, and then let the virtuous Empress Zhou help persuade her.

This trick is very effective, the woman's pillow wind, than Qi Chunnian wrote tens of thousands of apology letters.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

So on the twentieth day of February.

Still in the Dongnuan Pavilion, Zhu Youzhen gave Qi Chunnian one last chance to meet to see what method he could use to convince himself.

"Your Majesty, I got a little carried away last time, I know ...... wrong"

As soon as he saw the emperor, Qi Chunnian sincerely apologized, saying that he had learned from the pain and would never make similar mistakes again.

"Okay, it's useless for you to say so much, the prince's enlightenment has begun, and he has learned very well, no matter how much you say, it's too late, and there is no chance." Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, admiring his deflated appearance with great interest.

"Your Majesty, it's not too late, you listen to this top-secret recording first, and see the private faces of those civil officials."

Qi Chunnian took out a small tape recorder.

Place it on the table and press the play button.

As for the content inside, it is naturally the rampant idea of the civil officials to celebrate in private, plotting how to control the crown prince, and there are sensitive words such as 'obedient', 'obedient', and 'the new emperor ascends the throne'.

But it didn't work.

This trick didn't work for Zhu Youzhen now, but leaned back in the chair, revealing an expression of 'that's it', and said, "Is there any other trick?" Let's do it all. ”

Qi Chunnian had to turn off the tape recorder, thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty doesn't trust us, doesn't you even trust Fang Yizhifang, it's okay to let him be the prince's teacher, right?" ”

"It's okay to let the secret teach the prince."

Zhu Youzhen nodded, but shook his head again and said: "But he is too busy, he has to take care of hundreds or thousands of royal farms this year, and he left the capital early, so he can't spare time at all." ”

Several plans in a row have been rejected.

Seeing Qi Chunnian gradually showing a helpless expression, Zhu Youzhen was happy, and his heart blossomed, happy, happy, this is such a deflated expression, which makes him feel extremely happy.

"Your Majesty, I actually have another plan here, I believe Your Majesty will definitely be interested."

Gritted his teeth!

Qi Chunnian fought hard, and he had to take the last move to start rolling up.

"Oh, tell me about it."

"It's like this, Your Majesty, a sufficiently qualified and excellent prince, not only very important to Daming, but also very important to Xujiazhuang, Your Majesty has been angry recently, scolding Qi and beating Qi, it doesn't matter, but you can't treat the future of Daming as a child's play, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is completely in the hands of the civil officials and Confucian scholars, according to the ideas of the civil officials, cultivate and shape it into what they want, what kind of consequences will this bring? Most likely catastrophic consequences! Once the imperial court is hostile to Xujiazhuang, does Your Majesty think the imperial court has a chance of winning? That's right, after ten or twenty years, the strength of the imperial court will be much stronger, but will Xujiazhuang stand still? At that time, the new emperor will be under the influence of the civil officials, and he will have to fight hard with Xu Jiazhuang, or fight to the death. ”

Faced with this extremely real problem.

Zhu Youzhen's face turned cold, and he glared at him and said, "Alarmist, not worth refuting!" Will I be intimidated by you? ”

"Your Majesty, this is not to scare you, but to take the initiative to show favor on behalf of Xu Jiazhuang."

Qi Chunnian said: "It is precisely because we have no idea of changing the dynasty, we just want to do business well, so we want to pay attention to the prince and try in vain to influence the cultivation of the prince, what is the purpose?" I want to see an emperor who is friendly to Xujiazhuang come up, which just proves that Xujiazhuang has no intention of changing the dynasty, Your Majesty should feel relieved and happy, if we have no interest in the prince's education, the civil officials can teach how they want, which is the most dangerous for the Ming Dynasty! However, for the goodwill and sincerity of our lord Xu Zhuang, His Majesty refused to be thousands of miles away, refused the olive branch of the friendship we handed out, and completely handed the prince to the mercy of the civil officials, which is dangerous, this is extremely dangerous. ”

"So, it's still mine after all, isn't it?"

Zhu Youzhen's nose is almost crooked, crooked, it is this kind of familiar crookedness, obviously the prince's enlightenment education, he can hand it over to whoever he wants, it is his Zhu Youzhen's freedom, and no one is qualified to interfere.

But in Qi Chunnian's mouth, this is the Ming Dynasty's initiative to draw boundaries, it is a move to show hostility, it is a move to refuse the olive branch and insist on confrontation, and in the end, what evil results will be caused by refusing Xu Jiazhuang's intervention in the prince's education.

Outrageous.

It just doesn't make sense!

"Your Majesty, that's not what Qi meant."

Seeing that the emperor was about to go crazy, his eyes were red, and his killing intent was strong to the extreme, Qi Chunnian hurriedly explained: "I'm just deducing the worst possibility, Your Majesty, there is still a perfect route here, that is, the royal family has maintained a balance between civil officials and Xu Jiazhuang, and has not completely fallen to one side, so that Xu Jiazhuang will also have the opportunity to participate in the growth of the prince, then you will reap Xu Jiazhuang's goodwill and friendship, bring a lot of benefits, and even get Xu Jiazhuang's allegiance and follow, In the future, Xujiazhuang's countless money, food and resources will be possible to serve the interests of the royal family and form an unbreakable alliance of mutual benefit and reciprocity. Your Majesty, let's choose Xujiazhuang, as long as the civil officials have 1% of Xujiazhuang's ability, Your Majesty will not always be tied up, and it is difficult to make a difference. ”

Hear this.

Zhu Youzhen's anger was suppressed a lot.

But I still can't accept these crooked arguments, after all, what is cooperation, I am the lord of the Ninety-Five, the lord of the world, a mere businessman, and I also want to cooperate with me, and I am also worthy of saying the word cooperation? It's good that the Nine Clans weren't immediately punished.

However, Zhu Youzhen also admitted that although Qi Chunnian's words were extremely realistic and unpleasant, he had to admit that there was a certain amount of truth in the issue of the prince's education, and he was one-sidedly inclined to civil officials, and cultivated a prince who completely obeyed civil officials.

As long as you agree to Xujiazhuang's request to participate in the prince's education, eliminate Xujiazhuang's doubts and dissatisfaction, and establish more in-depth binding and cooperation, it can indeed bring a lot of benefits and benefits.

Silent.

Seeing the emperor fall into a state of contemplation, a second or two of heartbeat flashed on his face, but more of it was still dissatisfied and resistant.

"Your Majesty, that's the case, the content of my plan is that Xujiazhuang will establish a 'Prince Growth Fund', and will invest 300,000 silver dollars every year specifically for the cultivation and education of the prince, how to use this money, Your Majesty has the right to supervise and even veto, the core purpose is to train the prince to be a qualified prince, which is not only conducive to the future of the Ming Dynasty, but also makes Xujiazhuang more assured and trusting, and it is even possible to eliminate all precautions and estrangements to achieve unprecedented close cooperation."

Qi Chunnian finally released the big trick of involution, and said: "Your Majesty, 300,000 silver dollars a year is a gratuitous donation, and you don't have to pay back a penny, and the foundation will continue to operate until you are twenty years old!" For the growth of the prince, this can be regarded as a sufficient capital, right? Can the civil servants come up with 10,000 silver dollars, or 5,000 silver dollars? Can't take it out, only Xu Jiazhuang has such sincerity, Your Majesty, don't refuse anymore, our request is not too much, the civil officials and Confucians teach the prince half the time, and the teacher Xu Jiazhuang teaches half the time, just come to a bowl of water for five or five minutes. ”

"This is the best and most sincere plan, Your Majesty, give me an accurate word, can you give Xu Jiazhuang this opportunity, can you make a balanced choice to maximize the interests of the royal family?"

Qi Chunnian looked at Emperor Zhu Youzhen and said.

It worked.

And this time it really worked.

Hearing the figure of 300,000 silver dollars, Zhu Youzhen's eyes lit up, and he immediately cheered up.

Moreover, this growth fund will continue to operate until the prince is twenty years old, and won't it add up to 4.5 million silver dollars?

Of course, this money may not be a lot of money for the huge empire of the Ming Dynasty, but for the crown prince Zhu Cihong personally, it is definitely astronomical.

Sincerity, Zhu Youzhen saw the real sincerity, the sincerity that he couldn't deny, and he also accurately hit his biggest hobby - money, and recently, I don't know what rumors I heard, the civil officials began to run to him to extort again, although they only lost more than 100,000 silver dollars, but they were also annoyed.

"Uh-huh~"

He coughed and asked, "Qi Chunnian, this prince growth fund, can I take out the money in it and spend it?" ”

"Yes, as long as it is used for the prince's education, as long as the prince himself agrees, these two conditions are met." Qi Chun Nian Road.

"Well, the teachers sent by Xu Jiazhuang, do I have the right to observe and supervise the process of teaching the prince, if the situation is not right, I feel that it is inappropriate, can I interrupt the teaching process, or even expel the teacher who misleads people's children?"

"Of course, Your Majesty is a parent, and of course he has the right to supervise and veto, which is justified."

"That'...... Okay, for half a year, let the teacher of Xujiazhuang come over to teach the prince for half a year, teach the prince for half a day every afternoon, and try the effect first, but the money in the growth fund cannot be missing, at least 300,000 silver dollars must be entered. Zhu Youzhen said.

"Okay, there is no problem, the teacher sent by Xu Jiazhuang will never disappoint His Majesty!"

Qi Chunnian's face was overjoyed, and he immediately said.

Hahaha, it's done.

This was finally done.

Although it has paid a lot of words, although it has paid a certain amount of money, this investment is absolutely worth it, and it will definitely bring benefits to Xujiazhuang, although there is no effect at present, but the future prospects are unlimited.
