Yang Pu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the decadent posture of the two old masters, and said, "It's too ...... Gan Wangye, the prince, I, Yang Pu, don't have any great skills, I can only read and read and endorse, thanks to the promotion of the prince, I have done a half-official position, assisted the prince for more than ten years, and squatted in Zhao Prison for three years, and I am still alive and well. ”

Zhu Gaochi sighed: "Mr. Yang is modest, you are a second-year scholar in Jianwen, you have both talent and learning, and you have a degree, if you don't follow me on the wrong path, your career will only be smooth sailing, but I will drag you down." ”

Yang Pu shook his head and said: "I have worked for you for twelve years, and I have been in Zhao Prison for three years. ”

Zhu Gaochi heard the sound outside the strings: "Mr. Yang, is this leaving?" ”

Yang Pu nodded: "The current Ganwang Mansion is not the Ganwang Mansion I expected, I thought that I would only be loyal to one person in my life, but now it seems that this place is not suitable for me." ”

Zhu Gaochi didn't stay and asked, "Where is Mr. Yang going?" ”

Yang Pu said with emotion: "The world is so big, not only the five lakes and the four seas, where the wind blows, there is always a place to settle down." ”

Zhu Gaochi pondered for a moment and said: "I can write a letter of recommendation to the political envoy of Jiangxi, he has some relationship with me, I have promoted him when I was the prince, but I can get an errand for Mr. Yang in the political envoy department, the rank will not be too high, but I can always eat the imperial court." ”

Yang Pu chuckled and said: "The minister thanked the prince of Gan for his promotion, but this matter is still exempted, Yang has received too much favor from you, and now he has finally paid off his debts, if you drag you to find a job again, wouldn't you owe a great favor again?" ”

With that, he bowed down, turned away, and never looked back, his back depressed, which was sad.

He waited in prison for three years, and when the male lord declined, the world betrayed.

Yang Pu is looking forward to a Zhu Gaochi who has the ambition to take off for nine days even if he is trapped in adversity, not King Gan who is willing to be silent in the mud pond like now.

People have their own ambitions, he has been the prince to wash horses since the first year of Yongle, entered the East Palace to do things, and worked hard for Zhu Gaochi for 12 years, and later was involved in the turmoil, and suffered three years of poison in Zhao Prison, and the grace owed to Zhu Gaochi has already been paid off.

Have any regrets?

No regrets.

Zhu Gaochi got up and wanted to send him off, but his legs and feet were inconvenient, and he needed the help of others, but Zhu Zhanji, who was sitting opposite, did not make the slightest movement, just stared at the chessboard with his eyes blank.

In the end, the former prince and the current prince of Gan still failed to send his old friend on his last journey.

After the people left, Zhu Gaochi let out a long sigh.

Zhu Zhanji slowly raised his head, his black and white eyes were clearly sharp, where was the dullness just now: "Why don't you leave Yang Pu behind, he is a great talent, and what our palace lacks is such a capable minister." ”

Zhu Gaochi sighed: "I don't want to involve Yang Pu anymore, he finally washed the dirt on his body, how can I bear to let him go through life and death again?" ”

Zhu Zhanji's eyes flickered: "It's not that there is no glimmer of heaven......"

"You're thinking too much, ahem."

Zhu Gaochi raised his hand to cover his mouth, coughed violently, and when he put down his hand, he saw that his palm was bright red.

Zhu Zhanji was moved: "Dad......"

"You don't have to say any more."

Zhu Gaochi raised his hand to interrupt his son's words, and said categorically, "I don't have a few years to live, and after I die, you can't stand alone." For my sake, as long as you can be the king of Gan in a down-to-earth manner, the fourth child will not be too embarrassed by you. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji's eyes darkened again: "Dad, you know, I'm not here." ”

"Isn't it here?"

Zhu Gaochi felt dull in his chest, "No matter what, if a person dies with a handful of loess, my terminally ill old bones can't stop you, but let me tell you, as long as I still have a breath left for a day, you will be safe every day." ”

Zhu Zhanji was silent.

……

Zhejiang, Hangzhou.

Taipingli in Qiantang County, also known as Qingwang Street, called Nanxin Street in the Southern Song Dynasty, there is a plaque hanging in front of the door of the street, and one door and three entrances are so angry.

This Yu family is a native of Kaocheng, Shanxi, and his great-grandfather Yu Jiusi was the head of Hangzhou Road at the time of Yuan Renzong, so the Yu family also moved to Qiantang. Although the ancestors are prominent, but in recent years, the Yu family has become more and more decadent, the previous generation of Yu Wenming was also the head of the Ministry of Industry during the Hongwu period, and Yu Yanzhao of this generation simply did not work.

However, the Yu family is not lonely, and everyone in Taiping knows that Yu Yanzhao has a naturally intelligent son, who is studious and intelligent, and he never forgets to read. When he was six years old, he went to the ancestral grave with his father on the Qingming Festival, and when he passed by the Phoenix Terrace, his uncle said casually: "Today is the same as the Phoenix Terrace." ”

And the six-year-old child replied loudly: "He occupies the Qilin Pavilion alone." ”

Everyone present was shocked, and they all admired this child very much, and they all felt that this son would be a big thing in the future.

Sure enough, when Yongle was ten years old, this Yujia child passed the annual examination and was admitted as a Confucian student in Qiantang County, becoming a fifteen-year-old Xiucai, this Yujia child, named Yu Qian.

As the bottom of the scholar class, Xiucai is naturally incomparable with high-ranking officials and nobles, but compared with ordinary people, Xiucai is undoubtedly the existence of envy of others. Enjoy the privilege of not kneeling when seeing officials, and there is no need to suffer the bitter crime of servitude, and if you are a child, you can also enjoy the allowance of the imperial court.

When there is a table of people eating in the countryside, the conversation is very happy, but when a Xiucai suddenly walks in, everyone immediately shuts up, puts down the chopsticks, respectfully treats him, and only then does they pick up the chopsticks again. During this period, no one dared to talk about it, even if some people had bad patience and couldn't hold back, they only dared to talk and whisper, but they didn't dare to say too much.

In the door of the house, there is a portrait hanging, this is the portrait of Wen Tianxiang, the former prime minister of the Song Dynasty collected by Yu Wenming, Yu Qian's grandfather, in "Crossing the Zero Ding Yang", he made "life since ancient times, who has not died, leaving Dan to take care of the sweat and green", magnificent, high-pitched mood.

Yu Qian, a young man in the year of dancing elephants, with clear eyebrows and beautiful appearance, stood in front of the table and looked at the portrait of Prime Minister Wen Cheng and thought about it for a long time before he put down the pen and wrote the lyrics.

For a moment, the words in black and white, magnificent.

Yu Qian praised: "Woo Hu Wen Mountain, by Song Zhiji." Martyrdom forgot one's life, sacrificing one's life for righteousness. Swallow the world, and feel the world sincerely. The valley changes, and the world is different. Sitting and lying in a small pavilion, trapped in bondage. Straight words, over time. The heart of the hard to deceive, the terrible day. Rather just die, Fu is perfect. Say goodbye to the south and smile at the nine springs. The Lonely Loyalty Festival has been passed down through the ages. Looking at the statue, the breeze is awe-inspiring. ”

Emphasis on fame and fortune.

Heavy benevolence, light killing.

Although he is still young, Yu Qian's character is like a jade bamboo in the cold wind.

After finishing a good song, he bowed his head slightly, and when he was about to go out, a distinguished guest came to the door.

"What about Yu Qian, who is called Yu Qian?"

A sharp voice came from the house, which made Yu Qian frown slightly, and when he walked out of the door, it turned out to be a plain-faced man in a tea camel-colored robe, with a clean face and a feminine aura on his body.

At this time, Yu's father also walked out of the room and asked with a little doubt, "Your Excellency?" ”

The man in the tea-colored robe coughed lightly and said, "Our family is the eunuch who passed the decree of the celebrant and came to Qiantang by the emperor's holy order, which of you is called Yu Qian here?" ”

Yu Qian took a step forward and arched his hand: "I am Yu Qian, I don't know what my father-in-law has to do?" ”

The eunuch asked, "Why don't you kneel when you see our family?" ”

"Why should I kneel?"

Yu Qian said lightly, "I am a member of Qiantang County in Yongle for ten years, as usual, I don't need to kneel." ”

Yu's father couldn't help coughing twice and glared at his son.

That's right, but the eunuch is the most grudgeful, you offend the person opposite, he has 10,000 ways to make you uncomfortable.

However, the eunuch did not get angry when he heard this, but chuckled: "Young people should be like this, they have backbone and blood, yes, our family likes young people like you." ”

Okay, our family won't greet you anymore, just get down to business. ”

The eunuch carefully took out a sealed holy decree and said, "Your Majesty has a decree, announce that Yu Qian, a member of Qiantang County, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, will receive the decree!" ”

He glanced at this Yu family child, and said in his heart that you don't kneel this time.

Yu Qian was just hard and not stupid, so he immediately leaned down and bowed: "Student Yu Qian, ask the Holy Bow, long live my emperor!" ”

The eunuch thought to himself how did you learn to be smart this time, and our family still thought that if you didn't kneel this time, our family would take you down on the charge of disrespect, how did you kneel faster than anyone else.

Yu Qian's face was impassive, but he was sneering in his heart, okay, you are a dead eunuch, and you still want to deceive me, no matter how hard my head is, can I have a hard knife, although my buddy is not afraid of death, but it is too embarrassing to die in the hands of your eunuch.

Yu's father knelt in front of the holy decree and thought to himself that my son is really a unicorn, and he can bend and stretch out his husband to become a great weapon in the future.

After some intrigue, the eunuch saw Yu Qian kneeling so honestly and gave up the idea of finding fault, and proclaimed: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and he says:

I heard that there is a young man named Yu Qian in your Qiantang, he is smart when he beats the villain, the young man is good, continue to work hard, make an exception to make you the master of ceremonies of Zuo Chunfang, and go to Beijing to work in the East Palace. Chin this! ”

The emperor's holy decree is in the vernacular throughout the whole text, which is not uncommon in the Ming Dynasty, and neither the grandfather nor the current Yongle Emperor is a person who likes to chew words.

However, after reciting the holy decree, the eunuch holding the holy decree couldn't help but tremble.

He didn't know the content of the decree beforehand, but after reading it, he realized a key problem-

This kid surnamed Yu is going to follow the prince to do things in the future.

Zuo Chunfang master of ceremonies, rank is six products, the palm of the attendant rules, refute the correct play, where the crown prince acts in the annals of history, recorded as a note, at the end of the year sent to the history museum. belongs to the subordinate officials of the East Palace, who is rooted and miaohong, and acts as an attendant on the prince's side.
