Zhu Houzhao has never seen such an arrogant person.

What's more, this is not insulting him alone, even his father has brought a little.

He immediately had to feel the stones on the ground to fight with the steward of the store.

"Nonsense!"

Zhu Youzhu glared at Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao threw the stone away, turned around angrily and walked towards the door of the warehouse.

"To buy it or not to buy it?"

The person in charge doesn't care about that, the seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, and the people of the Zhang family think they can't do it.

Zhu Youzhi looked at the pile of black and gray city bricks not far away, called Dai Yi over, and after giving instructions in his ear, he also followed Zhu Houzhao's footsteps out of the warehouse.

……

……

"Father, that man is so arrogant, why don't you let the child teach him a good lesson?"

After Zhu Houzhao came out, he was still unwilling, Zhu Dashao lived so much, except for his father and Zhang Zhou, there was no third person who made him so angry.

Zhu Youzhu did not answer his son's question.

At this time, Dai Yi walked out and said in a low voice: "Master, I have told the people inside that I have let people go in to procure." ”

Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said, "Is this broken thing still procured?" Lack of heart? ”

Dai Yi on the side hurriedly grabbed the prince who was unscrupulous, and said in a low voice: "Little young master, the master wants to leave a piece of evidence, there are some things that need to be explained." ”

"Humph!" Zhu Houzhao snorted lightly, "I see that the eldest and second uncles are full of food, and if they don't do a little good thing, they will know what kind of goods they are by looking at the people under him." ”

"Be careful!" Dai Yi is persuading again.

Zhu Youzhu looked over with a look of "you still know me as a son", and the father and son had feelings of sympathy for each other.

But here's the problem......

Your mother, my queen, she doesn't think so.

Why can the two of them only call each other sympathetic.

Xiao Jing had already arranged with the people in Dongchang to buy and receive the goods, and came over to ask for instructions: "I don't know where to go next?" ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "Where is the store where the Ministry of Industry stores Zhoujiamu and stone?" Take me to see it! ”

Dai Yi, Xiao Jing and others can see that the emperor is still relatively strict, and it cannot be said that he has only seen the Zhang family, and he thinks that the Zhang family is not good, so he will no longer look at the Zhou family.

What if the two families are half a pound and eight taels?

Xiao Jing replied: "In the Taiji factory." ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "Do you still need to go?" Could it be worse than this? ”

When Dai Yi heard it, it made sense, even if the supply materials of the Zhou family and the Zhang family were really half a catty and eight taels, and the Zhou family only asked for 65,000 taels, of course it was cheap.

Zhu Youzhu glared at his son and said, "For the Empress Dowager to repair the Qingning Palace, you should be able to tolerate the slightest sloppiness?" If it's the same material over there, I'd rather send someone to procure it again! No one's! ”

In a fit of rage, Zhu Youzhu also ignored the rules of reminding his son not to mess with his own name.

The surroundings are quiet.

It was obvious that the emperor was furious.

After a long time, Xiao Jingcai cautiously reminded: "Your Majesty is angry, the car is ready, Your Majesty, please go to Luan!" ”

……

……

The father and son took people to the Taiji factory where the Ministry of Industry was responsible for receiving the goods of the Zhou family.

The bidding was successful, and the goods were being transported to the Taiji factory on the same day, because there were officials from the Ministry of Industry in the Taiji factory, even if the middle and lower-level officials did not know the emperor at all, they could still recognize the head of Jinyiwei.

In addition, this is the territory of the official family, so Zhu Youzhu did not take his son to go inside easily.

There are many horse-drawn carriages parked at the entrance of the Taiji factory.

There are wood, stones, etc., and you can see a rough idea when you walk around the door.

"Your Majesty, I have sent someone in to check it, and the stone and wood are of the highest quality."

Xiao Jing was responsible for taking Jinyiwei in to investigate.

Just as he was reporting, Zhu Youzhu also walked to a carriage and personally inspected the wood on it.

Zhu Houzhao smiled: "This one is much better, it doesn't look so broken." But the man was right, it made no difference if he painted wood. ”

Zhu Youzhu glared at his son, as if he was scolding his son.

You kid deliberately raised the bar with me?

"I don't have to check the affairs of the officials, and it is actually such a rumor in matters involving the royal family, it seems that I should really clean up the style of the officials."

Zhu Youji's face was annoyed.

However, he immediately seemed to think of something pleasant, and said with a look of relief: "Bingkuan's bidding strategy has saved a lot of expenses for the imperial court, and Li Guangfu has confiscated gold and silver, and it is enough to repair a few Qingning Palaces." It seems that the inner government can also be more relaxed. ”

Dai Yi reminded: "But Your Majesty...... The ministers of the DPRK and China have been saying that they will transfer Li Guang's dirty silver to the household department......"

"Humph!"

Zhu Youzhu snorted with disdain.

Roughly speaking, Li Guang's dirty silver was found out by someone I sent to find out, and it belonged to the private property of the Ming Imperial Palace, and you ministers still dare to fight the idea of purses?

Think beautifully!

Xiao Jing was in charge of security, he looked nervous, and came over to ask for instructions: "Your Majesty, now that the verification has been completed, do you want to move back to the palace?" ”

"There's no hurry." Zhu Youzhu said, "Isn't Bingkuan going to compare his style with the scholars of Shuntian Mansion?" Since I have already left the palace, I am not in a hurry to go back. Send the prince back first! ”

"Don't, father, after the son-in-law comes out, I will listen to you for everything, why do you drive the son-in-law away now? Erchen also wants to see if Zhang Qing's family is really talented, if he is a person who sells his reputation and reputation, what qualifications do he have to teach Erchen? ”

Zhu Houzhao finally went out of the palace, and now he heard that there was still a lot of excitement, so of course he refused to leave.

"Hmm." Zhu Youzhu nodded, "Then let's go with me to see it." By the way, go and call me Cheng Minzheng, a bachelor of Hanlin, and I want him to go and see it together. ”

Dai Yi was puzzled: "Your Majesty, Master Cheng is in charge of the system, and he also serves as the position of Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, so I am afraid that I am busy with official business......"

Zhu Youzhu said: "It didn't take much time to make a trip in the past. Let's get behind the wheel! ”

……

……

In the Yuesheng Teahouse not far from the gate of Guozijian, there were many people at this time, and many people who heard that there would be a competition between the north and the south to solve the yuan, came to admire it, but because they were not invited in advance, ordinary people were not allowed to enter.

When Lin Han heard about this, he scolded Liu Shun: "Ridiculous! Go and call everyone back! Anyone who pays tribute is not allowed to go out to join in the fun! ”

Liu Shun said: "Lin Lao sacrificial wine, I'm afraid that I can't persuade him to come back now, there are too many people at the door, and even Linglang ......."

"He went too?"

"Yes, I heard that someone still called it specially, maybe the second son also wants to make a difference in this competition, this is a good opportunity to make a name for himself."

Lin Han didn't want his son to be in the limelight.

Lin Han said with a straight face: "What is the difference between being rigorous in academics and pursuing fame in the ears of others, and being a good man in the market?" Zhang Bingkuan ......"

Between the words, Lin Han's opinion of Zhang Zhou was too big.

But now, as the principal, he has never seen his subordinates and students once, and he can't bring people over if he wants to teach Zhang Zhou.

"Lin Lao, Zhang Xuezheng hasn't entered Yongzheng yet."

"Next time he comes, the old man will give him some color and see!"

……

At this time, only half a street away from the Yuesheng Teahouse, Zhu Youzhi and his son climbed to the attic facing the street in the Confucian Temple.

In this kind of place, non-official family members are not allowed to enter.

It can even be said that non-royal people are not allowed to enter.

In this way, Zhu Youzhi did not have to go out to join in the fun, but he could still see the hustle and bustle of the street through the wall of the Confucian Temple.

"Father, it's good here." Zhu Houzhao looked into the distance from the railing of the attic, holding on to the railing.

Xiao Jing hurriedly reminded: "His Royal Highness the Prince, be careful. ”

Zhu Houzhao looked down: "It's not high, it's okay to jump." ”

Zhu Youzhu was silent, and then someone came up to say: "Your Majesty, Master Cheng has arrived." ”

"Let him come up."

Then, Cheng Minzheng, who had a beard and a thick figure, appeared in the attic.

"Minister Cheng Minzheng, see Your Majesty." Cheng Minzheng saluted.

"Cheng Qing's family is exempt from courtesy, come and sit."

Zhu Youzhu is also enthusiastic.

Because it is a talent competition, no matter what the public opinion outside, Zhu Youzhu feels that he should invite someone who understands to come over and help him refer to it.

By the way, he is still a little selfish, that is, to find someone to mention Zhang Zhou, just like Zhu Youji's expectations for Wang Wei and Liu Ji before.

If Zhang Zhou can't be a jinshi in the middle of the year, Zhu Youzhu wants to use people but can't...... Of course, I think it's awkward.

Cheng Minzheng straightened up and was about to sit down, when he suddenly found that there was a kid standing next to him.

It's the crown prince.

"The minister sees the prince's ......"

"It's all said that it's not polite." Zhu Youzhu said with a smile, "I just took advantage of the good weather today to take the prince for a walk to see how the people's livelihood in Beijing is, knowing that there is a competition between the north and south of Beijing to learn from the Yuan, and I called you here to hear your opinion on their talents." ”

“…… Be. ”

Cheng Minzheng looked confused.

With his talent, it is okay to judge the talent of several Hanlin, and today he was actually called by the emperor to judge the talent of two people?

Use a steam engine to crack nuts.

At this time, Xiao Jing walked over and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Jinyiwei has just sent someone to inform you that Mr. Zhang has been accompanied by Zhu Yishi and has come to Beiyong in a carriage, and it is estimated that he will arrive soon." Dongchang also sent people over, and news would come at any time. ”

"Good!"

Zhu Youzhu nodded with a smile, and then pointed to the teacup in front of Cheng Minzheng: "Cheng Qing's family, drink tea." ”

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

Cheng Minzheng felt honored at the time.

Taking advantage of the fact that the party Zhang Zhou had not yet arrived, Zhu Youzhu said to Cheng Minzheng: "Cheng Qingjia, you have always been talented and learned, and your reputation among the scholars of the Hanlin Academy and Beijing is also very high, I heard that you also have a lot of contacts with the folk scholars, do you think that among these scholars who have not yet entered the Jinshi, who is more talented?" ”

"This ......"

Cheng Minzheng didn't seem to be a good word when he heard this.

Cheng Minzheng said: "Yesterday, the minister met two scholars in Jiangnan, one is called Xu Jing and the other is called Tang Yin, both of them are talented, especially Tang Yin's ......"

"Huh." Zhu Youzhu smiled, "Do you mean that Ying Tianfu Township tried Yayuan?" ”

"Huh?"

Cheng Minzheng was taken aback.

The emperor even knew that Tang Yin was the second place in the Tianfu Township Examination?

It seems that the emperor is really concerned about these young people, no wonder he will personally come to witness an inexplicable literary competition.

Zhu Youzhu said with a smile: "Today is a casual conversation between monarchs and ministers, you don't have to be restrained and can speak freely. In fact, I have always admired your talents, and to tell you the truth, I actually have the intention to promote you to the cabinet in the future, and I plan to take you as the main test in the spring of next year. ”

Cheng Minzheng couldn't sit still at all, so he quickly got up and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister can't afford it." ”

"Sit." Zhu Youzhu said, "I have also read the books you have written recently, and I have a lot of feelings, but after all, court affairs are not something that I can decide alone, and the transfer of official positions must always go through the court's recommendation." Today, I just say it casually, and you don't have to take it too seriously. ”

Cheng Minzheng's expression was complicated.

He was thinking in his heart, His Majesty is really good at talking and laughing, and he said that he would let the minister take the main exam, and he also said that he would let the minister enter the cabinet, but this still doesn't let the minister go to his heart?

The minister was very excited in his heart.
