Approaching September.

The autumn in Nanjing is high and cool, and it is also the time to appreciate the chrysanthemum and do the literary meeting, which coincides with the gathering of scholars in Nanjing, and the literary style in the city is very heavy.

On this day, Zhu Houzhao, under the leadership of Sun Che and Gong Yeping, went to attend a literary meeting, and then ......

And he was depressed.

He still used the routines when he participated in various cultural meetings on the way south, all of which were clichés, and he couldn't eat this trick when he arrived in Nanjing, and he was directly ridiculed in front of people at the literary meeting that day.

“…… A child who is only ten years old, the study of art is not yet complete, or he has read a few sentences of the content of the book of psychology, and thinks that he has a bit of talent, so he thinks that he is omnipotent? ”

"In terms of fame, anyone here is taller than you."

"In terms of talent, everyone here can export chapters, just ask if you can?"

Zhu Houzhao screamed, he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to hit someone, but was stopped by Sun Che.

Zhu Houzhao shouted: "Who said I wouldn't? Let the horses come! ”

"Okay, you're writing poetry? Or let any one of you come up with the question, and use the craftsmanship to set the level? "The other party is aggressive.

Gongye Ping said: "Don't be ashamed to wait, knowing that our little son is young and doesn't discuss with him, but you want to decide whether you win or lose with poetry and articles?" Isn't it because your comprehension of psychology is too shallow, and you are not as good as him, and you want to bully others? ”

"Who?"

There was a piece of ground standing on the other side.

looks like he's going to fight, and Zhu Houzhao looks a little lonely here.

The opposite brother smiled and said: "If you can't learn, you will go back to study for a few more years with your tail between your legs, and in a few days, it will be the great literary meeting held by Tianfu, when Lai Guogong and Lingnan, Jiangjiang and other famous Confucians will attend, I heard that it is presided over by Cheng Min Zheng Cheng himself." A ten-year-old child, in the end, is just a wound to Zhongyong! ”

"It's too much deception!"

Zhu Houzhao has had a smooth life all his life, how could he have been ridiculed like this?

He hated to go up and tear the man's mouth right away, but he didn't have an advantage at all on the scene, and he hated himself for not bringing more people.

……

……

Wait until you get downstairs.

Zhu Houzhao said to Liu Jin: "Go, transfer troops, Lao Tzu wants to level this building for him!" ”

Liu Jin hurriedly said: "Master, let's not make trouble, this is not the capital." You...... Your identity will be kept secret. ”

As he was talking, Sun Che and Gong Yeping came out, and the two of them were also unlucky.

Originally, he came out with his "big money master" Zhu Shou to pretend to be forced, or to help the gold owner pretend to be forced, so as to exchange some money for eating, drinking and having fun from this kid, who would have thought that he would not be forced to pretend today, and he was scolded by others, and it felt like eating fly shit.

"Little boy, don't be like them, I'll find you a literary meeting tomorrow, and I will definitely be able to overwhelm them." Gongye Ping Road.

Zhu Houzhao said: "My talent is not very bad? ”

"Huh?"

Gong Yeping and Sun Che were both surprised.

Just say that you can't learn, but you actually use the word "rotten" to describe it?

Is this self-reflection?

I was upstairs just now looking like I was going to eat people, why do I look like I'm so depressed now? Mood changes too quickly, right?

Sun Che said: "Zhu Gongzi's talent is not bad, especially the understanding of mind, which is rare in the world, as for the so-called craftsmanship and other knowledge, it takes time to accumulate, even if you don't have a reputation now, you will definitely be known in the world in the future." ”

Zhu Youzhu shook his head and said, "It's impossible, I won't be able to be named on the gold list for the rest of my life." ”

"Why?" Sun Che said, "Could it be that the little boy is ......"

Let's just say, you won't be from a happy background, right? In addition to the music and sin, the Ming Dynasty is qualified to participate in the imperial examination, and even the military households are no exception.

Zhu Houzhao didn't want to explain to Sun Che and them, so he asked Gao Fengdao on the side: "Have you been to Jiangning County before?" When will they release them? ”

The implication is that after he wants to get Hu Feng out of the cell, he will part ways with Sun Che and them.

In Sun Che and Gong Yeping's ears......

You can't help me make a name for myself, and it's a shame to come out with you, so let's break up.

Sun Che grabbed the white and said: "We went to see it before, he is fine, as long as he contacts his family and pays the money for his sins, he can come out." After giving an accommodating silver tael, how dare the jailer embarrass a living member? ”

"Hmm. Let's go back to the inn. ”

Zhu Hou was happy with his intentions.

Originally, it was agreed that Hu Feng wanted to rent him a big business to live in, but because Hu Feng was accidentally convicted and imprisoned, the matter dragged on like this first.

Zhu Houzhao also felt that it was a wonderful thing to live in an inn and enjoy the fireworks in the world that he could not experience in the palace.

But that's his mood...... It's not so wonderful.

……

……

At this time, he was in a cell in Jiangning County.

Zhang Zhouzheng, as a "visitor", and Yin Wuxiong of Yingtianfu Mansion went to the county government to visit Hu Feng, who was questioned for pushing people downstairs.

When the yacha brought Hu Feng out, Zhang Zhou and Wu Xiong were dressed in civilian clothes, and even the magistrate could only stand aside and laugh.

The magistrate of Jiangning County is not an outsider, it is Mi Jing'an, the former magistrate of Shangyuan County.

Originally, Mi Jing'an was just a lifter, and when the magistrate of Jing County attached to Guo County was finished, he should step down and return to his hometown, but because he had worshiped the dock early when Zhang Zhouzhong was expending the Yuan, the Nanjing Ministry directly sent him a magistrate of Jiangning County......

Mi Jing'an, who would be at this meeting, felt that he had seen his relatives, and he was also very respectful to Zhang Zhou standing there.

"Here we are." Mi Jingan said with a smile.

"Hmm." Zhang Zhou got up, and Wu Xiong on the side also stood up.

Only Mi Jing'an was wearing an official uniform at the scene, he didn't know what kind of big man this Hu Feng was, and he was also panicked, what kind of person is this? Is it worth Lai Guogong to visit the county government of Jiangning County in person? Am I going to let people go right away?

Hu Feng saw that Mi Jingan didn't have to kneel, he said: "Mi Zhixian, can the students go?" ”

Mi Jing'an said: "Don't worry, someone here wants to see you." The two of them, the lower officials will not bother, and they will leave first. ”

This will Mi Jing'an also has eyesight, Shangguan came to ask a prisoner who has been detained for a few days, or to avoid it and avoid it, and don't hear anything that shouldn't be heard.

……

……

Wu Xiong didn't avoid it.

Wu Xiong also wanted to know, what was the origin of the goods that Zhang Zhou came to see today, judging from the situation investigated by Ying Tianfu before he came, Hu Feng was an ordinary student, nothing peculiar.

But because Zhang Zhou was born in the "Xuanmen", maybe this student has unknown abilities?

"Both." Hu Feng didn't know what to call it, he just bowed.

Zhang Zhou smiled: "No need to be polite, I heard that you were detained, so I wanted to come and have a look, it is said that your talent is good." ”

Hu Feng also has a certain amount of knowledge, and he is also a philistine, he saw that even the magistrate of Jiangning County is afraid of the characters, there must be a background, he said: "I read the sage book below, I don't dare to show off in knowledge, but also want to learn more about the sage's learning, and strive to achieve something in the future." ”

"Very good, ambitious." Zhang Zhou nodded, "I heard that you also have two friends, and they also have a certain amount of knowledge and research on emerging psychology?" ”

"It's all shallow." Hu Feng said, "I can't talk about any research. ”

"It's good, and the future is bright." Zhang Zhou pointed to Wu Xiong with a smile, and glanced at Wu Xiong, probably saying, you see this is a talent.

Wu Xiong said: "I have investigated his case, and the crime is not serious, and he can go back at any time." ”

Zhang Zhou nodded and said: "The compensation still has to be paid, and the ransom must be given, but you can't be too greedy, especially not thinking about stealing other people's property." ”

Hu Feng was confused.

Is this what you're saying to me? How is it like a book from heaven?

Who are these two?

When we met, we didn't say anything, but what about educating me here?

Are you my father? Or my teacher? Why are you saying this to me?

"Someone." Zhang gave an order.

Someone came in immediately, holding a wooden box, Zhang Zhou said: "There is five yuan inside, which should be used to compensate for the medical expenses of the injured, this student, so that you are not involved in the case, you can leave." ”

Hu Feng was still a little curious about the two people in front of him, and even a little disrespectful, but at this time, he immediately changed his tone to a respectful tone and said: "Your Excellency, how can you be worthy of such an appreciation from you?" Could it be my old friend? ”

"Hmph." Wu Xiong snorted softly.

He was thinking, if you can really talk to this Lai Guogong, you will be prosperous.

Zhang Zhou shook his head and said, "Before I came, I didn't know you, I just heard about your reputation. After you go back, treat people with your heart, and don't talk about the things here today, just say that your relatives and friends have sent a penalty for your sins, so that you can get out of the cage. Let's go. See you later. ”

"That ......"

Hu Feng is not confused now, he is simply smashed by someone, and his brain is a mess.

Just give the silver and let me go?

Is there such a good thing?

"Master Hu? Please. The county government hurriedly stepped forward to invite Hu Feng out.

Hu Feng was depressed, but he could only thank Zhang Zhou first and leave the county office.

……

……

"Who is he?" After Hu Feng left, Wu Xiong finally couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Zhoudao: "The prince's people." ”

"Sss

Wu Xiong now knew that the prince was in Nanjing, but Zhang Zhou did not talk to him about more details, and he was not allowed to leak them to the public.

Wu Xiong still thought that Hu Feng was Zhu Houzhao's entourage brought from the capital, and instantly felt that Mi Jing'an had done a very stupid thing, and wanted to teach him a lesson, but Mi Jing'an was not at the scene, and he couldn't talk nonsense......

"The person who can be appreciated by the prince will definitely have a bright future in the future, and it is nothing for me to help." Zhang Zhou said with a smile.

"Yes." Wu Xiong also thought that Zhang Zhou was building a relationship with the people around the prince.

But actually.

Zhang Zhou is just to avoid Zhu Houzhao's "distraction", and come over to redeem himself by the way, of course, he has a more "important" thing to do.

……

……

"Master, the people have arrived." After Zhang Zhou and Wu Xiong said goodbye at the yamen, Zhang Zhou got into the carriage and stopped not far away, and Liu Gui came over to pass the ceremony.

"Hmm." Zhang Zhou let out a sound.

Immediately, a person who looked like a scholar followed Xu Jing and came closer.

The curtain didn't open.

Xu Jingdai said: "According to Mr.'s words, I told the little boy, and it is said that when I left, I ...... The little boy's face turned green, probably ...... Burn with rage. ”

Shizi said: "It's just a ten-year-old child, and everything I say is free. ”

Zhang Zhou said behind the curtain: "It's good, I can do things." Give a bounty. ”

"Here you go!" Only then did Xu Jing throw the reward purse that had been prepared long ago to the scholar.

The scholar was about to leave with joy.

Xu Jing reminded: "Dare to speak out, know the consequences, right?" ”

"I know, according to what I said, I will leave Nanjing City today and never come again, you two will see."

……

……

The person who satirized Zhu Houzhao was the one Zhang Zhou asked Xu Jing to find.

Forthwith......

It's time for Zhang Zhou to appear on his own.

Zhu Houzhao is playing wild, and he can't let him continue to be so wild, in addition to hitting his self-confidence and letting him know that there is a truth outside the sky, it is also to let him adopt his mind as soon as possible.

Zhang Zhou was also pondering about this matter.

If you want to make a name for Zhu Houzhao and let him set foot in the south of the Yangtze River is worth the trip, you must first let Zhu Houzhao have the intention of becoming famous.

If this kid doesn't have ...... How to grow a face for him? How can you let Zhu Youzhu "Longyan Dayue", and then the punishment for this kid running away from home can fall gently?

"For the sake of a bear child, I really worked hard." Zhang Zhou also felt that he was a little tired as a nanny.

……

When Zhang Zhouren arrived at the inn, he just said hello to the counter, and was taken upstairs by Dr. Tea to the door of Zhu Houzhao, but when he saw Liu Jin and Gao Feng talking at the door, the two of them saw Zhang Zhou, and their eyes were full of horror.

There is probably a feeling of being a thief and being caught.

"You don't have to be polite, I'm here to see Zhu Shou and Zhu Gongzi." Zhang Zhou said with a smile.

"Inside." Liu Jin hurriedly came over and saluted.

"Hmm." Zhang Zhou nodded, "Let's pass it on." ”

Liu Jin knocked on the door, and heard Zhu Houzhao's voice coming from inside: "Don't bother Lao Tzu!" Solve something by yourself! ”

"It's Zhang ...... Childe is here. Liu Jin said.

"Which Zhang Gongzi?" Zhu Houzhao said angrily.

"Ahem!" Zhang Zhou coughed twice.

When Zhu Houzhao heard this voice, he instantly felt that something was wrong, and then came over to open the door, and after seeing Zhang Zhou, his eyes first showed a little surprise, and then it was like a mouse seeing a cat, and he closed the door with a "bang".

"You're welcome." Zhang Zhou waved his hand, meaning to let Liu Jin and the others retreat first, and then push open the door and go in by himself.

Zhu Houzhao sat on the chair, didn't get up to greet him, and said sullenly: "Why did you find it?" ”

"Humph!" Zhang Zhou closed the door and said coldly, "Do you really think that you have the ability to pass through the sky and can hide it from everyone?" Do you know how many people will suffer because of your willfulness? ”

"Anyway, you don't have to suffer, I'm not here to see you." Zhu Houzhao is still stiff-mouthed.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Your Majesty knows about your southward journey, and I told Your Majesty that I am not in a hurry to let you go back, otherwise why do you think the way south is so smooth?" ”

"You...... You knew where I was? ”

Zhu Houzhao was taken aback.

My feelings for my private escape plan are all under your Zhang Bingkuan's control?

Then he thought of something, slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, who are you, you can count your fingers and know where I am, right?" Then you ......"

"Why didn't I send you back to Beijing, nor did I show up in person, let you go south to eat, drink and be merry everywhere, spend the money you got from your two uncles everywhere, and let you wander around the city of Nanjing?" Zhang Zhou asked.

"Hmm. Why? Zhu Houzhao asked.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Isn't this what you like?" ”

Zhu Houzhao said staggeredly: "Tsk, when did you become a traitor who caters to the prince's preferences?" ”

Zhang Zhou shrugged and said, "In the eyes of the minister, am I not originally a traitor?" ”

"Forget it, there is a traitor like you who does great things for the court? But this prince doesn't care about you, after all, you are still a little righteous, and you didn't send me back to the palace directly...... "Zhu Houzhao seems to have become a reasonable person."

Zhang Zhoudao: "What? Have you had enough of Gangnam? Want to go back? ”

Zhu Houzhao was silent and did not answer.

Zhang Zhou said again: "I heard that you encountered some unhappiness today? ”

Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "I can't hide anything from you, how many people have you sent to my side?" ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "It's really not, but it is rumored that there is a ten-year-old child who came to Nanjing from the capital to join his family, and his understanding of psychology is very good, and he even stands out in many theories, isn't this you?" ”

"I ...... Is it so famous? Zhu Houzhao seemed to sweep away his previous displeasure, and asked excitedly.

Zhang Zhou said coldly: "When you have fame, there will naturally be people who will target you, want to compare you with your talent, and steal the reputation that should belong to you." ”

"Oh." Zhu Houzhao said, "You mean, the person who troubled me today did it on purpose?" ”

Zhang Zhou thought to himself, you are really right, they did it on purpose, or did I secretly instigate them to do this.

"How? Is it not as good as learning to be human? Zhang Zhou said, "What you have experienced is exactly what I have experienced." ”

Zhu Houzhao lowered his head, and suddenly seemed to be sympathetic to Zhang Zhou, and said: "I understand, they are jealous of me, and they want to target me and suppress me when they know that I am famous...... No wonder you have done so many things for the imperial court, your father obviously values you very much, but he still wants you to avoid suspicion and come to Nanjing. Those literati are unreasonable. ”

Zhang Zhou said angrily: "Don't you overturn a boatload of people with one shot, okay?" You're not literati? I'm not? ”

"I didn't say we're two." Zhu Houzhao said, "We are different from them, you think, those literati are the most admired by those scholars, they are the same group." By the way, Mr. Zhang, you ...... Can you ......"

"If you have something to say, say it." Zhang Zhoudao.

Zhu Houzhao said with a look of longing: "I want to ...... I want them to know that they're wrong. ”

"So ......"

"I want to be able to overpower them in terms of talent, not only Xinxue, but you also have to teach me, I heard that there is a big literary meeting recently, I ...... I wanted to get ahead, so that those literati would be ashamed to see me, so that they would no longer dare to look down on me, a ten-year-old scholar. ”

Zhu Houzhao expressed his ideals.

Zhang Zhou thought to himself, he finally lived up to my toss.

Zhang Zhoudao: "You are cheating." ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "Mr. Zhang, you don't want to say that you can't suppress them, right?" ”

"Huh." Zhang Zhou said with a smile, "The method of agitating generals is useless to me, but I have already told Your Majesty in advance that you should increase your knowledge when you go south, and at the same time, you must let the people of the world know your talent and ability to govern the country, and you are worthy of the name of the prince." I told Your Majesty that I want to make a name for you in Jiangnan, otherwise what will this article mean to me? ”

"Really?" Zhu Houzhao was excited, "This article will be done for me?" ”

Zhang Zhou nodded and said: "My fame doesn't need to be accumulated through the Wenhui, but you need this kind of prestige." This will also allow you to ...... after returning to Beijing When Your Majesty punishes you, you can be extraordinarily gracious. ”

Zhu Houzhao said with a grateful face: "Either how to say that Mr. Zhang is good to me, I understand, you are so hard for me." I...... Sir, you say, I will do as you say. ”
