"Captain Yan?"

Jiang Xinghuo was slightly stunned, Zhu Gaoxu was not an outsider, it was Yan Poyu, the captain of the Loyal and Righteous Guard who he had seen on the painting boat that day, dressed as an old soldier.

Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself, "Why is Captain Yan here?" It seems that he is still familiar with Zhu Gaoxu? ”

However, Jiang Xinghuo thought about it, the second question didn't seem to be a problem, after all, Zhu Gaoxu was famous in the Yan army, and it was a very natural thing to know the middle and senior officers of Zhongyiwei.

If you don't know each other, I'm afraid it's a strange thing, right?

But Jiang Xinghuo couldn't allow Jiang Xinghuo to think about the first question carefully, Zhu Gaoxu said embarrassedly.

"This, this is my friend Captain Yan in the army, and I also know a lot of acquaintances in Jinyiwei, but today Xiu Mu came to visit me in prison, so I thought about introducing one or two to Mr. Jiang, so that Mr. Jiang will have many ways to get out of prison."

Although Zhu Di was not very satisfied with this identity, he was not satisfied, but he didn't really give his second son a punch, but first hugged his fist and gave it to him.

Zheng He raised his eyes and saw that half of his breath choked into his esophagus, and he coughed again and again.

It turned out to be His Majesty the Emperor himself!

But Zheng He coughed and looked at it, but he had to admit it, don't say it, these two people are standing together, Zhu Gaoxu looks much older than his actual age with a big beard, and Zhu Di is majestic and majestic but not so old-fashioned, plus the two are almost exactly the same military temperament, but they are really like comrades-in-arms who are more than ten years old, not father and son who are more than twenty years old.

Zhu Gaoxu's words fell into Jiang Xinghuo's ears, and he smacked them carefully for a moment, Jiang Xinghuo really wanted to admit that there was no flaw in Zhu Gaoxu's words, at least there were no flaws on the surface. The high-ranking generals in the army who entered the Jinyi Guard's Beizhen Fusi and the Imperial Prison are really no different from visiting the door.

A few months after the Yan army crossed the river, the violent departments under the Yan army's takeover and rule, whether it was the edict, the Jinyi guard, the city defense, the patrol, etc., were all like grass platform teams, and they had not yet been completely formalized and institutionalized.

Seeing that Captain Yan first saluted with his fists, as the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Jiang Xinghuo was not too rude, but he got up and did the same.

"Captain Yan, long time no see."

Zhu Di also said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang has been away for a few months, and his demeanor is still the same, which is really enviable." ”

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned when he heard this, and his brain reacted for a second, before he remembered that his father and Jiang Xinghuo had probably met, and it was the time when he was almost kicked into the wall by his father after he was drunk.

It's just that Zhu Gaoxu was locked up in prison that time, and he didn't know if Zhu Di met Jiang Xinghuo when he found him, and Jiang Xinghuo didn't tell him.

Zhu Gaoxu only knew that the result was that Li Jinglong was also imprisoned.

As for Zhu Gaochi and Ji Gang accompanying Zhu Di to Hangzhou West Lake to see Yu Qian, Zhu Gaochu didn't know anything about it.

And since the two know each other, they should have met.

The concealment of identity was what Zhu Di had just instructed Zhu Gaoxu, which means that no matter whether Jiang Xinghuo saw through Zhu Di's identity at a glance, even if the two of them pretended, they had to pretend that Zhu Di was "Captain Yan", and they couldn't let this layer of window paper be pierced.

Otherwise, a lot of words will be difficult to say.

After a few more pleasantries, Jiang Xinghuo's suspicions gradually rose.

This Captain Yan approached him for no reason, but it didn't seem to be because of Zhu Gaoxu's face, which really made him feel a little weird.

However, Jiang Xinghuo has nothing to regret about spoiling the future for Captain Yan on the painting boat, after all, this thing is all unsubstantiated, I just mean that I was a dying person who made it up nonsense at that time, and it won't be a big deal to think about it.

The reason why Jiang Xinghuo didn't suspect that this Captain Yan was Zhu Di was because they had just met, and for a while, Jiang Xinghuo really didn't think about it.

After all, the emperor personally went to the edict to see him, this kind of thing seems to be something that no one will think of at the first time, and Jiang Xinghuo really doesn't know what Zhu Di looks like, Zhu Di in Jiang Xinghuo's impression is still like the old drama bone teacher Wang played on TV, not to mention the slight difference between him and the real Zhu Di in terms of physical appearance, it can also be said that it is completely two people.

Before that, what Jiang Xinghuo knew was that Zhu Gaoxu and Li Jinglong would relay the content of his lecture to the high-level of the Ming Empire, and Jiang Xinghuo was even ignorant of the seemingly ordinary wall next to him, which was a eavesdropping amplification wall used to "divide the wall and have ears" during the Hongwu Dynasty.

Therefore, in Jiang Xinghuo's prediction, his meeting with other high-level decision-makers in the Ming Empire may not happen until he is released from prison.

This is a small misunderstanding caused by poor information.

And if Jiang Xinghuo is given some more time to observe, then Jiang Xinghuo's doubts will definitely get bigger and bigger, and then guess the identity of Captain Yan.

It's just that Zhu Di obviously didn't give Jiang Xinghuo this time, Zhu Di sat down cross-legged with Zhu Gaoxu very familiarly, and said: "I heard him say it, I worshipped a gentleman in prison and came over curiously to have a look, but I didn't expect it to be Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang can say whatever he wants, and I'll listen to it, and it won't interfere with you. ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Jiang Xinghuo's eyes, but of course he had to do things after taking the money, since Zhu Gaoxu did not raise any objections, then he still had to give a lecture, so Jiang Xinghuo buried his doubts in his heart for the time being.

"Mr. Jiang, what are you talking about today?"

Zhu Gaoxu asked with great interest, obviously planning to behave well in front of his father.

In any case, Zhu Gaoxu felt that he had gained a lot in the past few months of studying with Mr. Jiang in the edict.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu naturally had the idea of adding some chips to his own reserves.

The four of them sat around under the tree and listened to Mr. Jiang sit and talk.

In the secret room next door, there were also Zhu Gaochi, Dao Yan, Xia Yuanji and several other people looking at each other. Although the eavesdropping amplification wall is not working at any time.

A cold wind blows, and the winter day in the south of the Yangtze River always makes people feel cold to the point of shrinking. It's as if the wind has turned into a poisonous snake, rushing in along the sleeves and neckline, rubbing against the skin, which is really uncomfortable.

The paper in Jiang Xinghuo's hand was blown out by the wind.

"Today I will talk about a new course called 'National Management.'"

Jiang Xinghuo blew the paper with some floating folds, looked at the story on the paper and said slowly, "But before you give a lecture, you might as well tell a very relevant story." ”

"What's the story?" Zheng He asked.

Jiang Xinghuo spread out the paper, but he really told a little story quite seriously.

"It is said that in the Yuan Dynasty, thirty miles south of Chaoyi County, Shaanxi, there was originally a village. There are only two surnames Zhao and Fang living in this village, and there is no other clan. This village is called small and not small, but not big, and there are twenty or thirty households. The ancestors have been farming for generations, and in the hands of the grandfather of the family surnamed Zhao, he actually invited a gentleman to teach his son to study books, and when he came to his grandson, he suddenly got a talent in Xiucai. Now, what do you guess happened to the family surnamed Fang? ”

Zhu Gaoxu speculated very reasonably: "You should also invite a gentleman, right?" After all, there is a heart of comparison everywhere, and the countryside is relatively closed, and the east and west families have been talking for a long time, and I feel that the family surnamed Fang will be jealous of comparison. ”

"That's it." Jiang Xinghuo bowed slightly, "The villagers are shallow-eyed, and when they saw that the surnamed Zhao was a showman, they all pushed him up, and the surnamed Fang gradually became invincible." The surname Fang looked hot, and there was a family named Fang Bikai who took advantage of the money and took the lead to open a clan school with a few families, and went to the city to invite an old master named Wang Rende to go to the countryside to teach their children to read, and Fang Bikai's third son was particularly smart. ”

"And then?"

"Then one day, the grandson surnamed Zhao went to high school." Jiang Xinghuo said, "This provoked Fang Bikai to be jealous, hearing the congratulations to the Zhao family outside, and then thinking that his family was becoming less and less powerful in the village, and he couldn't eat, he paced around in front of the study corridor with his hands behind his back, and couldn't stop talking to himself, what 'good news to the young master of your mansion', what 'good news to Bu Lianyuan', the account keeper understood what was going on, and hurriedly went to invite the old master Wang Ren. ”

Zhu Di was stunned when he heard this, then reacted and said with a smile: "Is this to ask the old master to stay and continue to teach?" ”

When Jiang Xinghuo heard this, he stared at this "Captain Yan" for a moment, and then said, "It's not just that. Let's say that this party will see the old master Wang Ren, and he kowtowed twenty times in a row, but he couldn't say half a word, as if he was phlegm stuck in his throat and eyes, and hissed for a moment, and he could only point to his own son, and then pointed to the old master. ”

"What does that mean?" Zhu Gaoxu asked curiously.

"The people around me don't know." Jiang Xinghuo continued, "The old master was also stunned, and only then did he understand what Fang Bikai asked him to do. The old master said to the third son of the Fang family: Didn't you hear that it was not the eldest brother of the Ling Zhao family, did he win the lifting today? The third son said, "What has it to do with me?" The old master said again: "That's not the case, although it has nothing to do with you, in the end, your father's eyes are always a little hot." The third son said, "What does he have to do with me?" ”

Jiang Xinghuo's words are vividly described, and the image of a naughty boy is about to come out, but several people can't help but laugh.

And Jiang Xinghuo's little story also reached the last paragraph.

"I just heard the old master say: Your father is your son who reads, since you have been asked to read, I naturally hope that you will be motivated, and in the future, like your big brother of the Zhao family, you will earn a lift to come back.

The third son said: What are the benefits of being lifted?

The old master said: If you pull Hanlin, you will be an official, and if you become an official, you will make money, and you will sit in the hall and beat people, go out, and open the gong and shout. Ah, these benefits, if you don't study, you don't get lifted, where do you come from?

Although the third son is young, when he heard the words 'If you are an official, you will make money', although he did not speak, he also had some activity in his heart, and he was silent for a long time, but he secretly determined in his heart that he must be a big official and make a lot of money in the future. ”

"And later?" Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but ask.

"Later, the third son grew up and really got his wish, became a big official, made a lot of money, and became a big corrupt official."

Jiang Xinghuo said with a straight face: "Then he was peeled by Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"What?"

The sudden turn of the gods made several people almost unresponsive, and they were stunned for a moment.

Jiang Xinghuo restrained his smile and said lightly: "This story is an introduction, and it is also the content of the first volume of "National Management", that is, what is feudal state management? Or who is it who runs the feudal state? ”
