"Does Your Highness want to be prepared?" Liu Jin bowed down in front of the carriage and asked the nobles inside.

With the precedent of the last time the crown prince tried to protect Zhang Yong in the Qianqing Palace, he did not have such a big psychological burden when he arranged to leave the palace this time. It's just that I think it's particularly troublesome to have another courtier.

The door curtain was opened, revealing Zhu Houzhao's immature face.

He was dressed in a blue satin gown, his hair hanging down his back, and he was still dressed in the same luxurious way as usual.

On the side of the carriage, there were four young men in strong suits, they were all about twenty years old, although they looked different, but because of their similar clothes and body shapes, they looked like brothers.

This is the people of the East Factory.

Previously, Zhu Houzhao explained to Zhang Yong, and specially selected thirty sturdy men to train more, and the details were naturally found out according to the rules. He didn't ask that he have to be an orphan or anything, sometimes there are young and old, and he knows how to work hard.

"Prepare what?" Zhu Houzhao got out of the carriage with Liu Jin's support, "I have prepared a lot, and I am sneaking around as if I am doing something wrong." Whoever makes any more noise will come at me. ”

It's a bridge, and it's been a month since the construction of the bridge and the river is dusty.

"Your Highness, it's dirty ahead. Slaves make people ......"

"Don't let it." Zhu Houzhao raised his feet and left him behind.

But he didn't take a few steps before he saw Zhang Tianrui trotting over with a small guy behind him.

When Liu Jin saw it, he greeted him and reminded, "Lord Zhang, this is outside the palace." Called Childe, the etiquette is simple. ”

Zhang Tianrui couldn't stand the fright, the crown prince suddenly left the palace and came to him, if this is known to someone with a heart, can he not participate in him like Zhang Yong?

Therefore, he was very anxious and said: "Childe, the subordinates are not careful with the courtesy, and please forgive the sin." And the body of the child's daughter, how can he come to this chaotic place, if there is a mistake......"

Zhu Houzhao has really heard too much of this kind of talk.

He shouted to stop, "Don't say anything unlucky." ”

"Uh..." Zhang Tianrui was suffocated by a sentence, and he didn't dare to say anything. But the prince came out of the palace, and he did make his heart tight.

Zhu Houzhao saw that the beads of sweat on Zhang Tianrui's forehead were already the size of beans, so he thought about it, forget it, or don't cross the bridge again, he still remembers Qiuyun's matter, in case he really bumps it, then Zhang Tianrui will be miserable.

People are already working hard, so don't make a mess yourself.

So he arranged: "You go and explain it first, and then come to Linglong Restaurant to find me." ”

Zhu Houzhao glanced at the people on the other side of the river again, and imagined in his mind what this place would look like in the future.

He was really concerned in his heart, so he couldn't stay in the palace, so he wanted to come out and take a look.

After all, there is no second Li Guang to extort money for him like this, so this matter has to be handled well.

The box on the second floor of the Linglong Restaurant,

Zhang Tianrui didn't dare to delay for too long, and came over in a hurry, his temperament, he gave up with Zhu Houzhao for a long time in order to kneel or sit, and finally forced him to sit across the table.

"Where did you find them?"

Zhang Tianrui replied honestly: "According to Gongzi's words, they are all poor people recruited from nearby Daxing and other counties. ”

"Where's the incoming material?"

"Timber and stone are purchased and transported nearby, not seeking luxury or pomp, and trying to spend the value of the silver."

After all, this is a palace of learning, not a palace.

Otherwise, a piece of golden silk nanmu will cost a lot of silver.

Zhu Houzhao twisted the peanuts and said while eating: "I don't care about the specific process. I don't think you will be greedy for money, but you should be more careful about the people you use. This school palace is mainly practical, but we can't cover it and fall in a heavy rain, so you have to be careful of being deceived by them. If there is a day when it falls, I will still look for you. ”

Zhang Tianrui felt that the gall on his shoulders weighed 100,000 catties. It's not a good job.

Originally, there is no good work to do, if it is all the prince's shoulders that pick up the pressure, then this leader must be exhausted.

"Don't worry, my subordinates will never dare to do this. At the beginning, everything is a bit messy, and Childe gives his subordinates some time to build a clean and tidy school palace. ”

As for what it will look like,

Zhu Houzhao is too lazy to worry about what architectural style he is, firstly, he is not a professional himself, and secondly, it is better to unify with the current style, and make something weird, but it will cause gossip.

At the juncture when they discussed the construction of the school palace,

A baritone voice suddenly came from outside the box, and the words were full of surprise,

"Keqin! When did you arrive in the capital? ”

"It turned out to be Shuhou. How could it be so coincidental that we could meet in this Linglong Restaurant today? ”

Zhu Houzhao is familiar with the title of Shu Hou, because this person is a subordinate official of Zhan Shifu, and the secretary of the Economic Bureau washes horses and Liang Chu.

Washing horses is an official name, and he is not really asked to wash horses. In the East Palace, this is in charge of the collection, printing of books and books.

The grade is about five grades.

In fact, many officials in the Zhan Mansion are transferred to the rank of Hanlin, because the grade of Jinshi is not high after entering the Hanlin Academy, like editing is only the seventh grade. So how do you go up step by step? It is not possible for everyone to be promoted a few levels in a row, so they will be arranged to go to the Zhan Mansion first, and it is not easy to say that it is all the resume of the prince.

It's just that many of these positions are fictitious, and Zhu Houzhao, the person of Liang Chu, is not particularly familiar with it, and he only knows it.

"Who is Keqin?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

Unexpectedly, they were still acquaintances, Liu Jin and Zhang Tianrui both knew that Master Zhang lowered his head and whispered, "It should be Lord Cheng Keqin and Cheng Minzheng." ”

As soon as he heard this name, the prince suddenly realized.

Oh, it's him......

is the chief examiner involved in Tang Bohu's imperial examination fraud case.

If Wang Wei is a figure compared to Xie Qian, then Cheng Minzheng is put together with Li Dongyang, and he is a person who became famous at a very young age and met Emperor Yingzong.

Cheng Minzheng and Liang Chu are not a few years old, but Cheng Minzheng was ranked first in the second year of Chenghua, but Liang Chu was 14 years old in Chenghua.

And as early as the first year of Hongzhi, Cheng Minzheng served as the official position of Wang Wei's current Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi, and now it is estimated that it is no problem to touch the position of a right attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

We all understand the importance of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households. However, unlike the 'practical' values of modern people, in the Ming Dynasty in the Confucian atmosphere, the Ministry of Rites was an important department second only to the Ministry of Officials.

Speaking of which, they are all famous and surnamed characters.

Zhu Houzhao had nothing to do, so he asked Liu Jin and Zhang Tianrui to silence and listen to what the officials of the imperial court would say.

After all, many concepts he also got from fake TV dramas.

……

"Keqin has just entered Beijing, and I am going to leave Beijing. You say it's a coincidence, but in my opinion, it's not a coincidence. This is Liang Chu's voice.

Then Cheng Minzheng asked him, "Out of Beijing?" Isn't it also the will of the recently famous East Palace? Like Yang Tinghe, he was released to serve as a prefect? ”

"Haha, that's not it." Liang Chu explained: "I followed the will of the Holy Lord, went to Yingtianfu and presided over the township test. ”

Should Tianfu Township test? Zhu Houzhao nodded, and many people and things became clear in his mind.

This is also a fat shortage, because the Ming Dynasty paid attention to the relationship between master and apprentice.

In a place like Tianfu, there are many people who come out of the township examination and are admitted to the Jinshi when they take the examination. And Liang Chu can be regarded as their mentor.

Cheng Minzheng naturally said 'congratulations'.

"What about Keqin, it seems that he entered Beijing earlier this time?"

"It's been many days ahead of that." Cheng Minzheng thought to himself, Liang Chu was a person from the East Palace, and asked: "I have heard before, there are often amazing words in the East Palace recently, and I am worried about it in my heart. When I entered Beijing, I found that sure enough, the school palace was built in the capital. ”

Liang Chu said, "Since the East Palace Weifu came out of the palace last year, this matter has been widely spread, and it is indeed starting to be done now." ”

"I knew it when I arrived in the capital, and the movement was not small. How much does this cost silver? Where did it come from? ”

Liang Chu shook his head at these questions, how did he know these things.

"Don't know?" Cheng Minzheng was a little surprised.

Liang Chu is a sincere person, he said: "This matter was instructed by His Royal Highness to be done, and it was not done through the cabinet and various ministries, and the silver was not allocated from the household department." Therefore, most people do not know. ”

"Uncle Hou's words are wrong. The prince is the East Palace, how can there be any reason for the East Palace to do it? In the future, it will also have an impact on the government and government, why don't the cabinet and the officials of various ministries ask? Besides, the silver, even if it is not allocated from the household department, it is also from the East Palace, and the East Palace is where the prince is located, is this still the private property of a certain family? ”

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he couldn't help but change his face and snorted softly.

was so frightened that Liu Jin and Zhang Tianrui didn't dare to speak.
