It is not uncommon for a person like Zhang Xuezhou to become a bachelor.

There were many high-ranking officials in the imperial court who were old and half-dead, and some even became officials until the moment of death.

As long as Zhang Xuezhou is still breathing, he, the official of Jinmamen who is waiting for the edict, will be very stable.

As a member of the imperial court system, if you don't do anything angry and resentful, everyone's officials will not be demoted, but will slowly improve with the years.

The position of Jinmamen Waiting for the Edict is very interesting, this is an official, but it is not an actual official.

This position belongs to the imperial court alternate official, and with Zhang Xuezhou's physical condition, Zhang Xuezhou feels that he will be waiting for a long time.

He had to take one step at a time, Zhang Xuezhou had successfully solved the problem of not being able to perform his duties normally, and he couldn't expect himself to do a good job.

After visiting Chun Yu Tiying and Zheng Wukong's condition, Zhang Xuezhou stayed at home for another night.

It was not until early in the morning that he wandered to the Golden Horse Gate.

"Serve, let's have a big portion of meat!"

Jinmamen is the place where the bachelor waits, and the edict is simply to wait, and when you wait, you will be hungry, and if you are hungry, someone will take care of the food.

The welfare of the imperial court is not wasted, and he also makes reasonable use of it at this time, even if he comes to Jinmamen for breakfast.

Zhang Xuezhou thought that this kind of thing would have to wait for a long time, but he didn't expect that after a short while, a small guy hurried over with a tray.

There was half a chicken in the tray, which was steaming at this time, and there was a large portion of millet porridge, which made Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but be amazed, and he felt that the chef of Jinmamen had the ability.

There are no tables and chairs to see here in Jinmamen, Zhang Xuezhou is just wandering around in his free time, and if there is food, he will ask for a copy.

He felt that according to his rule of 12 days before he was awake, he could come once a month.

After this trip today, he will be busy with his own business for the next ten days.

"Where's Ben's breakfast?"

Zhang Xuezhou was halfway through his bite, and saw a tall and handsome young man step into the inner hall of the Golden Horse Gate.

Holding the token of the Golden Horse Gate to be edicted, the young man also found a place to sit down, and then began to drink.

"I ordered half a slice of chicken and millet porridge yesterday in advance, you should prepare some in advance," the young man said dissatisfiedly: "You must know that this time is wasted, and waste is a very shameful thing!" ”

"Isn't this just on...... Hey? ”

The little guy ran errands again, only to find that Jinmamen had two bachelors at this time.

You can't enter the Golden Horse Gate without a Bachelor token, and both Bachelors are real.

But as far as Xiao Wei knew, he knew that there was a new bachelor in Jinmamen who had to eat breakfast and lunch, and the rest of the things were unclear.

He looked at Zhang Xuezhou, and then at the young man.

"Wait a minute, my lord, we'll ask the cook to do it now!"

The little guy's eyes glanced at it, and he quickly replied to the young man's words, which made the young man stretch out his hand and point at the little guy.

"You mean you haven't made my breakfast yet?" The young man was slightly angry and said, "This is really unreasonable, I clearly told you yesterday!" ”

"My lord, we did it," the little servant said, "but we didn't know that two bachelors came here today." ”

"Two ...... It seems that the benevolent brother has eaten Kong's breakfast," the young man frowned.

"He's early," the little guy squirmed, "we'll do it for you now!" ”

"If you are only going to make one, you must not have many ingredients there, it will take half an hour to receive the ingredients back and forth, it will take half an hour to cook, and it will delay the time to send it here, so Kong doesn't eat this breakfast!"

The young man was angry, but he was very well cultivated, and when he was angry, he decided not to eat.

This kind of anger made Zhang Xuezhou a little ridiculous when he heard it.

"Brother Kong, come on, I still have half a portion here, let's eat together" Zhang Xuezhou stretched out his hand to beckon.

"Eating together...... You can't eat together, you don't choose your hands to eat together, you don't have to fight for rice, you don't put food, you don't sing songs, you don't eat food, you don't eat bones. Don't oppose fish meat, don't throw dog bones. No solid gain, no rice, no rice with chopsticks, no soup, no piercing. ”

The young man thought for two seconds, then read it, wiped his clean palm on his sleeve, and then quickly sat down on the side of Zhang Xuezhou's table.

"Brother Tai is willing to eat together, he is really a gentleman!"

"Uh~"

In order to let Medical Officer Zhao Rui see that he would rather be a full ghost and indulge in eating, Zhang Xuezhou ate a little too much yesterday.

He was already full after eating more than half of the meal, and it was no problem to eat or not.

After giving up the rest of the food, Zhang Xuezhou didn't expect that he also received a gentleman's evaluation.

To be honest, Zhang Xuezhou feels that his character is still far from that of a gentleman.

"Master Dong once said that a gentleman should be benevolent, righteous, courteous, wise, and faithful" Zhang Xuezhou said: "Only those who meet these virtues can be regarded as a gentleman, and public food is not enough to be called a gentleman." ”

"Confucius Sage once said that benevolence, righteousness, and propriety are gentlemen, while Meng Sheng called benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom" The young man wondered: "What is this faith?" ”

"Faith and knowledge are opposites, those who know the appropriate are only suitable to act, and those who do not know the appropriate are believed from the words of others, and then abide by the courtesy and be close to benevolence" Zhang Xuezhou recalled and said: "This is faith!" ”

"Master Dong, could it be that you are talking about Dong Zhongshu and Dong Daru?"

"Yes!"

"Dong Daru is really versatile!"

The young people praised one after another.

He stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, and when he spoke, he ate very quickly, but he couldn't see the appearance of eating.

This surprised Zhang Xuezhou.

Compared with their rural coarseness, young people are undoubtedly extremely particular about etiquette, and they should originate from their families.

He thought about the young man's self-proclaim, and the other party was somewhat similar to Dong Zhongshu when he spoke, but he felt that he had roughly guessed the origin of the other party.

"Do you know Kong Zhong?" Zhang Xuezhou asked with a smile.

"Is the Kong Zhong you are talking about the Confucian Kong Zhong?" The young man was skeptical.

"Yes!"

"That's my father!"

The young man opened his mouth.

There are a lot of people with the surname Kong, and the name Kong Zhong is also relatively common, but there is only one Kong Zhong who is included in the Confucian Confucianism.

The young man did not expect to be able to meet his father's acquaintances while eating at the same table.

With the degree to which the other party is familiar with Dong Zhongshu, there is a high probability that the other party knows Kong Zhong.

This made the young man quickly get up and salute.

"Boy Anguo, I haven't asked your Excellency for your name," the young man asked.

"Kong Anguo, you are the name of governing the country and the country, it seems that you will show your talents in the future" Zhang Xuezhou praised and smiled: "My name is Dongfang Shuo!" ”

"Master Dongfang, you know my father, but I don't know if you know where my father is?" Kong Anguo asked.

"What's the matter, you didn't find your father?"

It was the first time Zhang Xuezhou saw his son looking for his father to ask for help from outsiders.

However, looking at Kong Anguo's appearance, the other party doesn't seem to have reunited with Kong Zhong.

"I received a message from my father, saying that I had asked for a position as a Jinmamen bachelor in the imperial court, and asked me to come to Chang'an City quickly," Kong Anguo said: "But I haven't seen my father in the past few days when I arrived in Chang'an City, so I have to look around!" ”

"Kong Zhong, Du Wencai and others have returned to Chang'an City, aren't they in the place where your Confucians gather?" Zhang Xuezhou said curiously.

"I didn't see Uncle Du" Kong Anguo said: "Uncle Ye, Uncle Zhu, and Uncle Li didn't see it!" ”

"None of the five were found?" Zhang Xuezhou was surprised and said: "You don't have to worry about them, they are so good at making holes, maybe they hide in which hole to do things!" ”

"That's the Earth Escape Technique and the Earth Movement Technique" Kong Anguo corrected and said: "Father's technique is naturally excellent, but now it is an eventful time, I heard that the imperial court has recently strictly investigated official corruption and other issues, and Lord Zhao Juan and Lord Wang Zang have been investigated because of this, and I am worried that they have also encountered big trouble!" ”

"Zhao Juan and Wang Zang are in prison?"

After learning the latest news from Kong Anguo, Zhang Xuezhou's face couldn't help but be a little strange.

Zhao Juan is ranked as the third public, Zhang Xuezhou didn't expect such top high-ranking officials to be pulled into the water.

If you guess correctly, Kong Zhong and others should have played an important role in the incident of Zhao Xuan's imprisonment.

At this moment, Kong Zhong and the others really can't be found, and these people are likely to enter the procedure of interrogating the three dukes, or even exist as witnesses.

This kind of incident involves an extremely high degree of secrecy, and it is normal for Kong Anguo to not find his father.
