Chapter 159: The Four Masters of the Ming Dynasty
"It's my father, he went to the Lin Mansion with the dowry, and said that if Lin Hao didn't comply, he would chop him up."
Zhuxi was suddenly anxious, although she did have a good impression of Lin Hao, but when it really came to this time, her heart was also extremely flustered.
Lin Hao's character, how could he give in, in case his father was really angry and cut him down, what should he do.
"Let's hurry to the Lin Mansion, I hope we can catch up!"
Princess Xianning changed into civilian clothes.
"Without Uncle Emperor's edict, can Ning'er leave the palace?"
Zhuxi asked subconsciously.
"It's all burning eyebrows, how can you take care of these, it's a big deal to be grounded by my father after I come back."
……
"How about Lin boy, Xi'er is the only daughter of this king, as long as you marry Xi'er, in the future, this king's throne will be hereditary by you, and then it will be the real one person under ten thousand people."
Cheng Guogong smiled and patted Lin Hao's shoulder.
is worthy of being born in the army, these two almost didn't unload Lin Hao's shoulders, Lin Hao said bitterly: "Cheng Guogong, the matter of men and women has always been your love and my willingness, and the twisted melon is not sweet!" ”
"It doesn't matter if he's sweet or not, just quench his thirst, if you don't agree, this king will demolish your Lin Mansion and send you to Your Majesty to ask for guilt."
Cheng Guogong showed a smile from his aunt, reading people are troublesome, twisting and pinching, and feelings can be cultivated slowly.
"Even if it is according to what you said, then you have to give me some time to think about it, Xia Guan and His Royal Highness still have an appointment, just three days, three days later, I will definitely give Cheng Guogong an answer."
Lin Hao's face was full of black lines, Zhuxi's little girl, didn't she still have a lot of prejudice against herself before, why did she secretly feel emotional, didn't she want to kill herself, picked up the invitation on the table next to him, and ran out of the Lin Mansion like oil on the soles of his feet.
"Cheng Guogong, have you had breakfast?"
Momoko said with a smile.
"I went into the mountains to hunt this morning, how can I have time to have breakfast, you go to clean up the room for this king, before Lin Xiaozi does not agree, this king will live in his Lin mansion."
Cheng Guogong pursed his lips, the three-day scene is fleeting, and then he will see what excuses this Lin boy can come up with.
……
"Brother Lin!"
A carriage stopped in front of the Lin Mansion, and Zhu Xi helped Princess Xianning to walk down.
Cheng Guogong, who was eating sheep and scorpion stew, slapped his head suddenly, how did he get Ning'er here with this stupid daughter!?
Originally, this matter was done quietly, but even if Zhu Di Lao'er knew, he could only stare dryly, but now let Princess Xianning know about it, wouldn't it be a bad thing.
There is an essential difference between the main palace and the concubine, although Ning Er is kind by nature, how can he be willing to let his precious daughter be a concubine?
"Zhu Shibo, what about Brother Lin, you won't chop him up in front of him, will you!?"
Princess Xianning looked at the deer blood on the ground that had not yet coagulated, and suddenly her legs weakened and she sat down on the ground.
"Dad, how can you do such a thing, no matter how big brother Lin is, he is also a good official who asks for the people's life, how can you say that if you chop it, you will chop it, what should you do to make Xi'er and Ning'er happy!?"
Zhuxi also noticed the blood stains on the ground, and cried directly, but he really couldn't accept such a fact.
"How is it possible, Lin Xiaozi went to Mentingfang to participate in the poetry meeting, and the blood on the ground is the deer blood that his father went into the mountain to beat this morning."
Cheng Guogong's face was full of black lines, and he sighed helplessly, if it was really a woman, he didn't recognize himself as a father before he entered the door.
"It's good if you're not dead, it's good if you're not dead, if you really attack Brother Lin, don't blame me for not recognizing you as a father! Let's go to Brother Lin. ”
Zhuxi grabbed Princess Xianning's hand and walked towards the door.
……
"Lord Lin, the villain is ordered by His Royal Highness No. 2 to wait here to go to Jiangyue Tower with you."
Zhao Heng, who was driving the carriage and horse, jumped down and arched his hand towards Lin Hao.
……
"The Yingtian Poetry Club is held once every three years, and the venue is in the Jiangyue Tower next to the Qinhuai River.
"For example, today's four masters of the Ming Dynasty are Chen Yueming of Jiangyin Chen, Zuo Chuchu of Jianjiang Zuo, Cai Xiang of Hexi Cai, and Shangying of that dynasty."
"What adults need to pay attention to is that Hexi Cai's family, Cai Kun, who was executed by His Second Highness, is Cai Xiang's cousin, according to Zhao Gonggong, Cai Xiang came to Yingtian this time, just for Cai Kun."
"Although the person was killed by His Royal Highness, everyone with a discerning eye knows that Cai Kun died because of the adult."
Zhao Heng drove the carriage and talked eloquently.
"Then this Hexi Cai clan can't be killed?"
A chill flashed in Lin Hao's eyes, this Gong Xiang didn't come to provoke himself, if not, then he would fight.
"Kill...... Kill. ”
"Hexi Cai's is just three generations in business, and now the daughter of the big house is the partial house of Cheng Guogong, with Cheng Guogong's opinion, he killed Cai Kun and did not pursue it, and Cai Xiang is not enough to worry about."
Zhao Heng hesitated.
"So you know what to do?"
Lin Hao squinted slightly.
"If Cai Xiang is not interested, his subordinates will definitely get rid of it quickly."
Zhao Heng arched his hand towards Lin Hao in the car.
If it weren't for Lin Hao, there would be no Zhao Heng today, just Cai's family, kill him!
……
Qin Huai'an.
The two banks of the Qinhuai River, which were originally very lively, are now full of hidden piles, and there are no pedestrians on the road.
"In addition to the Second Highness, are there any people from the imperial court coming?"
Lin Hao smelled a hint of something wrong, Zhu Gaoxu has always been low-key, even if he travels, he will not bring guards with him.
Otherwise, the three of them would not have been violently beaten in the Guozi Prison, and there will be demons when things go wrong.
"It is said that Zhu Chun, the king of Shuxian, was ordered by His Majesty to return to Beijing from Shu, and the swords in the hands of these dark piles are all Shu swords, and most of them are the subordinates of the king of Shu."
Zhao Heng looked at the guards hidden in the shadows, and after thinking for a while, he blurted out.
"Shu Xianwang Zhu Chun?"
Lin Hao said thoughtfully.
In the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, he was a third-class jinshi in Enke, and Zhao Mu was a second-class jinshi, but for some reason, he offended Zhu Chun, the king of Shuxian, and was assigned to Taoyuan as the magistrate.
"Yes, it stands to reason that after the king leaves Yingtian and goes to the fiefdom, he will not be able to respond to the sky in this life, His Majesty ordered the king of Shu to return to Beijing, I don't know what it means."
Zhao Heng shook his head, how clear was His Majesty's thoughts.
The carriage stopped in front of Jiang Yuelou.
Lin Hao stepped out of the carriage and looked up, this Jiangyue Tower is a good place to go, one side is near the water, and the other side is the water town, and the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is in full view.
After handing the invitation to the little maid, Lin Hao and the others were led into Jiangyue Tower.
The layout of this Jiangyue Tower is similar to the duplex buildings of later generations.
The hall was full of young talents in fresh clothes and angry horses, talking and laughing, and the arrival of the two obviously did not attract anyone's attention.
"The two adults went up to the attic, and the Second Highness has been waiting for a long time."
Jiang Yuelou's elderly shopkeeper arched his hand towards Lin Hao and said with a smile.
Going up to the attic, Zhao Heng asked coldly: "Do you know who the shopkeeper of Jiang Yuelou was before?" ”
"Tell me about it?"
Lin Hao squinted slightly.
"Jin Zhong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, when his father hesitated to establish the crown prince, it was this Jin Zhong who pushed for the establishment of the prince and tried his best to protect the crown prince and other officials of the East Palace."
Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand undeniably.
If it weren't for Jin Zhong's great help, it would not be certain who would be the crown prince.
Zhu Gaochi suffers from leg disease, coupled with his fat body, Zhu Di is the brave and warlike King Yan, Zhu Gaochu, who grew up in the army since he was a child, must be his favorite choice for the crown prince.
However, Jin Zhong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, advised him to die again and again, which allowed Zhu Gaochi to ascend to the position of the East Palace.
"Jin Zhongshangshu on the grounds of old age and illness, after Jing Nan established the prince, he has never been to the court, you naturally don't know, there is no need to mention this matter, today is a poetry meeting, then you have to have fun."
Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand, he had never cared about the matter of the crown prince.
"Jianjiang Zuo's Zuo Chuchu, Chaoge Shang's Shang wins, Jiangyin Chen's Chen Yueming visits the Second Highness."
Outside the attic, there was the sound of the servant's announcement.
A group of three people dressed in gorgeous costumes walked into the private room.
They are all dressed in robes and have extraordinary bearings, but it was the Jianjiang Gong family that made Lin Hao a little surprised.
There is actually a woman among the four masters of the Ming Dynasty, although Zuo Chuchu is said to be a man's attire, but he is born handsome, with skin like clotted fat, picturesque eyebrows, and a little cinnabar between his eyebrows.
The appearance can be scored at least nine points, in this era that has always implemented the idea that women are virtuous without talent, it is indeed not easy for Zuo Chuchu to be called the Four Masters of the Ming Dynasty with the other three people.
"I've seen the Second Highness, this must be the famous Lord Jiulin, the prince of the country?"
Zuo Chuchu bowed to Zhu Gaoxu.
"Brother Lin, the original four masters of the Ming Dynasty were all guests under the palace, but Cai Xiang was only because of his cousin Cai Kun, and now he has switched to the prince."
Zhu Gaoxu squinted slightly and said with a smile, on weekdays, he likes such vassal elegance the most.
"The so-called four masters of the Ming Dynasty are all false names, I have always heard that Lord Lin's poetry is very talented, and today Yingtian Poetry Club must shine."
Shang Ying said with a smile.
He has seen Lin Hao's poems, each of which can be called a swan song for the ages, and he dare not be proud.
"The East Palace has arrived!"
There was a throbbing in the hall.
This Yingtian Poetry Society, from the time of Emperor Taizu's founding of the country, was founded by the crown prince.
Zhu Gaochi, who was dressed in a five-clawed dragon robe, walked into Jiangyue Tower surrounded by Yao Ji and Guo Baokun, the Taibao of Nabei Town.
"The old body has seen the East Palace!"
Jin Zhong, the shopkeeper, bowed slightly towards Zhu Gaochi.
"Lord Shangshu doesn't need to be polite, and his health can be regarded as healthy recently?"
Zhu Gaochi looked at Jin Zhong with a smile on his face, he was able to sit firmly in the East Palace, and he was inseparable from Lord Jin Zhong's dedication.
"Donggong thinks of the old minister, I am really grateful, my body is quite tough, please sit in the private room."
The admiration in Jin Zhong's eyes became more and more intense, and in his opinion, only a person with virtue like the crown prince was qualified to inherit the throne.
As for that Zhu Gaoxu, he is just a reckless person, if the Ming Dynasty is handed over to him, he will definitely be destroyed not long after.
"The one who followed Zhu Gaochi was Cai Kun."
Zhao Heng leaned into Lin Hao's ear and whispered.
Lin Hao looked over along the line of sight, and saw that the man was burly, with a hooked nose and one-word eyebrows, angry but not angry, giving people a feeling of hiding a knife in a smile, extremely gloomy.
"It's interesting, everyone in the world knows that the four heroes of the Ming Dynasty are all under the door of Xu'er, and among the four heroes, they belong to the Hexi Cai family's talent, and I am afraid that Xu'er will not be able to come to the stage today."
There was a chuckle from the private room on the third floor.
The entire third floor was blocked, and in the private room, a middle-aged man in a golden silk moire robe tasted tea in a cup, with a touch of playfulness in his eyes, looking at the scene in the hall.
Next to the man, sitting on the ground is a graceful woman, the woman's face is covered with a layer of light veil, and in the haze, you can also see the appearance of the country and the city.
"Father, then Lin Hao may be a variable in today's poetry meeting."
The woman spoke, and her voice was as soft as spring water, like a spring breeze.
"Zhao'er, it seems that you are still quite interested in this Lin Hao, in the year of the crown, the four products of the Shangguozi Priest Wine, the construction of the Jiangnan water system, the solution of the disaster in Shandong, the lord of Shangyifang Huibaotong, the name is not small, but it is also worthy of the pearl of the king's palm."
"If Zhao'er really likes this person, how about my father let her enter Chengdu and be your husband?"
The middle-aged man shook the folding fan, with a smile between his eyebrows.
"Father, you can make fun of Zhao'er, how can Zhao'er take a fancy to him, even if he starves to death, dies outside, and jumps from here, it is impossible to like him!"
Although the woman was wearing a veil, she could still see that her face was extremely blushing.
Taking advantage of his inattention, the man snatched the booklet in his hand, squinted slightly, outlined a curvature at the corner of his mouth, and read:
"Ten miles of Pinghu are full of frost, and every inch of green silk is sorrowful."
"Look at the moon-shaped single look and protect each other, only envy the mandarin duck and not the immortal."
"Wonderful, wonderful, just a few words, the love between men and women in ancient and modern times, jumped on the paper, this lyricist, although compared to this king, is still a few points worse, but it is also talented."
"Father, you will bully Zhao'er!"
