Chapter 68: Make a Game

When Zhu Youtang came out of the Wenhua Hall, his previous gloomy and gloomy expression changed, and his pale face actually had a bit more color under the warm sun.

It seems that the Li Guang, Tu Fu, and Huang Mi Baimi cases can't stir up waves in his heart.

"This Bingkuan can teach the prince to be so eager to learn. He really has some tricks. I didn't trust him wrong."

Zhu Youtang always felt comforted in his heart, probably feeling that It was through his outstanding vision that he discovered the talent of Zhang Zhou.

Being an emperor also requires self-satisfaction.

Dai Yi smiled and said, "Zhang Jieyuan not only knows astronomy from above, but also geography from below, he also knows how to understand the secrets of heaven and the hanging pot to save people. It's a pity that he hasn't passed the Jinshi examination yet, otherwise your majesty will have one more wise man in the future." Talent."

Zhu Youtang shook his head and said, "Talent has nothing to do with fame. There is a certain bias in getting an official position based on articles."

Dai Yi understood immediately. The emperor was trying every means to reuse Zhang Zhou.

The most fair imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty was criticized so badly by the emperor just because it did not meet Zhang Zhou's merit admission conditions.

"There is also the sand table military exercise, which is quite interesting. It makes me want to sigh."

Dai Yi heard some signs.

The emperor was very happy to see his son playing, and he felt itchy beside him. He probably wanted to go up and fight with others on the sand table.

Who said that men who are emperors and have sons must be busy with official duties

Playing games has nothing to do with age for men. They can still have childlike innocence in their seventies or eighties.

Dai Yi tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, would you like someone to move the sand table over to you or can you go over there?"

Zhu Youtang waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I still have official duties." You have to be busy. Well, otherwise, you can send someone to keep an eye on it. After Bingkuan leaves, I will go to the Wenhua Palace and say that I will personally teach the prince the art of war."

Dai Yi was speechless.

Let’s just play. We don’t want the officials to see it so as not to be embarrassed, but we also want to find a high-sounding excuse.

Your Majesty, who taught the prince the art of war, are you someone who knows the art of war?

Dai Yi thought about it again. The more people lack something in their hearts, the more they want to express it. Maybe this Ming sage’s The monarch is anxious to prove himself because he is not very good at marching and fighting.

"Yes, the old slave will arrange for someone to come over now."

Zhu Youtang's face was bright and sunny, "The weather is quite good today."

"Yes. "

Dai Yixin said, it's because you felt like this weather after meeting Zhang Bingkuan.

Otherwise, no matter how good the weather is, you will turn a blind eye.

After Zhang Zhou passed noon, Zhu Feng came in and told Zhang Zhou that he was leaving the palace.

"What's the rush?"

Zhu Houzhao was still eating, and he hadn't had enough of the sand table drill all morning.

Zhu Feng said something in Zhang Zhou’s ear.

Zhang Zhou stepped forward and said, "Mr.Your Highness, there is a time limit for me to enter the palace. If you still want me to come in the future, please let me do it myself. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should know that any attempt to force His Majesty's arrangements will not bring good results. ”

A group of eunuchs around looked at Zhang Zhou with big eyes and small eyes.

I thought to myself, Mr. Zhang, you really dare to speak.

Listen to this I mean, you seem to be educating the prince, and you also seem to be instigating the relationship between father and son. Are you getting carried away with being favored for a while?

Zhu Houzhao said, "Humph, you have to say it."

Zhang Zhou said, "The prince also has a rough idea of ​​the details of this game. People from the East Palace will accompany the prince to continue the deduction. If there are new ways to play, I will also list it in the book. The next time I enter the palace, I will accompany the prince with him." Bring everything together. "

Zhu Houzhao was quite unhappy at first. After hearing this, his little eyes suddenly brightened up. "Then we agreed, come earlier next time." Also, bring all the good things you said. ”

After saying that, he didn’t even bother to continue eating, and personally escorted Zhang Zhou out of the Wenhua Palace.

As he watched Zhang Zhou leave, his crystal eyes were filled with tears. The mist of reluctance made the eunuchs and eunuchs around him feel heartbroken.

Liu Jin was filled with jealousy, thinking that this boy had only been in the palace once and had only met the prince a few times. I can make the prince feel so affectionate towards him

But I can’t let him continue, otherwise I will have nothing to do with him in the future

I am the person in the East Palace who is the best at coaxing the prince.

Zhang Zhou and Zhu Feng rode back together in a carriage

Zhu Feng admired Zhang Zhou for a long time. He complimented Zhang Zhou in the carriage and finally did it. Summary: "Brother Zhang, I am convinced. It seems that you are really the backbone of the country. From now on, Ming Dynasty will rely on you. "

Zhang Zhou curled his lips and said, "I'm just coaxing the child. Do you think I'm helping the country?"

"It's all the same, all the same. ”

Zhu Feng said cheerfully, “You are Mr. Wolong. I will learn more by staying with you.” ”

Zhang Zhou thought to himself, with your knowledge reserve, you probably won’t be able to learn much from me. Do you think it’s an honor to have you by my side?

“Where are you going?” Zhang Zhou suddenly became alert.

Zhu Feng smiled and said, "I'm going to see someone. ”

Zhang Zhou immediately shouted “Stop”

The driver who was driving outside was startled, and he quickly reined in his horse and stopped the car.

Zhu Fengren staggered and said quickly, "It's none of your business, just keep driving." ”

Zhang Zhou still insisted on leaving and coldly said, “Zhijie, every time I get in your car, I feel like I’m being dragged to the Palace of Hell. Please tell me you’ll see me off.” It's a gift for me, don't add any complications. "

Zhu Feng grabbed his arm and said, "Goodbye, we have something good to do and we are doing business. As you said before, let me go to the Zhou family to bid together, but the Zhou family doesn’t have much supply, so instead of looking for suppliers, they are still merchants from the south. I want you to check it."

If you meet ordinary businessmen, even if you are not condescending, at least there is no personal danger.

"Go on, hurry up and don't delay Brother Zhang from going home to accompany his wife and children."

Zhu Feng has learned well now and knows that Zhang Zhou likes to take advantage of his wife and children. Kangtou talks about things.

When we arrived at the teahouse where we met, it looked very elegant and quiet. It was only on the second floor and the windows were open. Zhang Zhou was also wondering if it wasn’t cold in late autumn.

Or should he say that he came from the south? Yes, I'm not used to the northern climate.

"Brother Zhang, let me tell you, it's a good thing, with beauty at the head. The color of a knife on the head." Zhu Feng was also afraid that Zhang Zhou would walk away. , first create some expectations.

Zhang Zhou looked at Zhu Feng with strange eyes.

It seems to be saying that the "color" we think of should not be the same thing, right? Is it based on your standards or mine?

Zhu Feng pulled him up Lou, then I realized that it was still his standard.

Among the many table guests, near the open window, there was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman with a busy face, her hands clasped in front of her, standing tall and prominent, far away from Zhu. Feng and Zhang Zhou saluted.

Appearance

Zhang Zhou tasted it and it was OK.

But he has a small round face, which is in line with the aesthetics of men these days, but Zhang still likes "vixens" with oval-shaped faces. He already has a good wife at home, so there is no need to go to see women. When thinking about the question of virtuous or not, the more enchanting the better.

The heart of a married man

"My little lady Chen, I have met my young master and Mr. Zhang." After the other party saluted, he said in a very gentle voice.

The voice is not very crisp, and the thin voice is obviously deliberately lowered. A woman who lives in the market for fame and fortune must not be so graceful, and she must have the fierceness of a strong career woman. one side.

Zhang Zhou will not be deceived by this little bird's charming appearance.

If you say it is Chen's name, rather than "x Chen's", it means that you are not married yet and have the maiden name.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Oh, Miss Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you."

After sitting down, the Chen family daughter personally poured tea for Zhang Zhou. Her skin was still very white. Zhou also discovered that the skin of women these days seems to be generally whiter and more delicate than that of women of a certain era in later generations.

It probably has something to do with the fact that women these days are bundled up tightly no matter what the season, and they don’t wear short sleeves when going out in summer.

It is not cultivated by water and soil, but created by the background of the times.

"Brother Zhang, it's like this. The Chen family is mainly engaged in the official salt business in the south of the Yangtze River. In the past, they had business dealings with the Duke of Chengguo. This time she came to the north and had a batch of stones on hand, which was just right. Collect enough numbers to bid, and the bidding will proceed without delay."

Zhu Feng explained the situation.

In Zhang Zhou’s opinion, this boy is still too honest.

This is called showing one's trump card.

"How much?" Zhang Zhou asked.

The Chen family daughter said, "There are tens of thousands of square meters. They will be transported to the capital in the next two days. They are all high-quality deep-pit stones that cannot be smashed by a fifty-pound hammer."

Zhang Zhou nodded, "Zhijie, you don't have to tell me about this kind of thing, just take it when it's available. Is there anything else?"

"Ah" Zhu Feng didn't expect that Zhang Zhou's check was so concise, he hesitated, "No more."

The Chen family daughter seemed to notice something, took out a book from her arms and said, "I heard that Mr. Zhang is the Jiangnan Township Examination Solution Yuan Dynasty, she must have the ability to appreciate books. The little girl took out a fragment of the Gufeng Collection, which was a Song edition, and specially gave it to her. Also, the little girl had been doing business with her wife Weng Nai for many years, and this time she went north. , he also promised to come and visit."

With a little push, this woman didn't speak so gently, and poured out all her thoughts in rapid succession.

"You still know my father-in-law"

"Yes. Mr. Jiang's wine is very famous in Jiangnan."

The Chen family's daughter relaxed a little .

"That's okay. You are dealing with the young master of the Zhu family, not me. Please come back."

The Chen family's daughter did not expect that even if Jiang Dezhong moved out, Zhang Zhou would still be so hostile. , but he could only get up, and when he left, he did not forget to remind him, "Master Zhang, you have time to read this book more."

"Brother Zhang, she still has some appearance, why is she so lively?" If you want to drive her away, maybe she will give you a generous gift." Zhu Feng asked with a puzzled look on his face as he sent the Chen family daughter away.

Zhang Zhou turned the book in his hand slightly, revealing the gold leaves inside.

Zhu Feng was stunned for a moment.

Zhang Zhoudao: "You thought I didn't give it as a gift? Don't talk about the gold. Even this thread-bound book is worth dozens of taels of silver on the market. I say you know the rules. When you do business with others, don't do business with these people." People who are good at officialdom are not principled for their own interests. If they can discuss cooperation with you today, they may go to the Zhang brothers to show their loyalty later."

"You can talk to me later. After the bidding, she pulled out the supply and told you that the materials were insufficient. Then the Zhang brothers deliberately blocked you so that you could not buy the materials. Wouldn't it be that you had ruined a good game of chess?"

Zhu Feng was like an eggplant beaten by frost in an instant, and said dejectedly, "I know."

Just as he was talking, Dr. Cha came upstairs with a look of surprise on his face and said, "The business is over, right?" He occupied the table for a long time, Hurry up, there will be a cultural gathering here, I'm covered."

"Holy shit"

Zhu Feng got angry when he heard this, and when he touched his waist, he remembered that he was just going there today Those who accompanied the prince in the East Palace did not wear the royal uniforms.

Zhang Zhou said, "Don't we look like scholars?"

"Scholars come here to discuss business with others," Dr. Cha said, "The people who will come soon are all the masters of Juren, as long as there is a champion among them." , if people know that he has sat and discussed with others in our place, no matter what kind of scholar he is, he will come here quickly"

"A dog looks down on others"

Zhu Feng.This time I don’t want to hit anyone, I want to come out and brag.

Zhang Zhouzhou pulled Zhu Feng to sit down and said with a smile, "It's okay, we'll leave now."

Dr. Tea directly put away the teapot and tea bowls on the table. A bare table was left for them.

"Just say he has no vision. He doesn't know the most popular candidate for the top spot in the next year's palace examination, so he is sitting in front of him."

Zhu Feng looked disdainful.

Just as he was talking, a scholar in a green shirt came over from the next table with a smile on his face. He held his hands and smiled, touched something from his arms, and said, "Look at you two, you are also a scholar, right? I am from Shuntian Mansion." Qi Qing, whose words are Yuanrong, I am lucky to have met him."

As he said this, he handed the name cards into the arms of Zhang Zhou and Zhu Feng.

Zhang Zhouxin said, isn’t this my reserved project?

After reading the famous post, I found that apart from the name, there were no projects introduced.

"The people from Shuntian Mansion have something to do with us." Zhu Feng looked wary.

Qi Qing said with a smile, "That's right. Today's literary meeting is exactly what I have done. It looks like the two of them are going to Beijing to take the exam. The teahouse clerk earlier didn't recognize people. I'm sorry. You two. But it doesn’t matter. I will do this frequently. Do you think you two need to make a name for yourself or make friends with dignitaries? I have a way in the capital that I can introduce you to.”

Qi Qing said, "That's right, Tang Bohu, a great talent from Jiangnan, arrived in the capital yesterday, and he is preparing to compete with the Jiangnan people represented by him. The scholars competed. This literary meeting was to select good talents and go to challenge."

"Damn"

Zhu Feng was unhappy when he heard this, "Tang Bohu. He is the second in the Jiangnan Provincial Examination. How qualified is he to represent the Jiangnan scholars?"

Qi Qing was quite enthusiastic. He probably noticed that the two of them were dressed in extraordinary clothes. He smiled and recommended, "That's it. I heard that this year's Ying Tianfu's Jieyuan was a tribute. In the past, his reputation was not known, and he was only known in the Gongyuan. Tang Yin wanted to compete with him in Nanjing, but he ran away first. This was widely spread in Nanjing, and everyone thought that this was his fault. He didn't have any ink, so he didn't dare to accept the challenge. He considered himself the most talented person in the south of the Yangtze River. He traveled north and had encounters with scholars from many places. Not only was he good at poetry and painting, but his writing was also outstanding. No one could compare with him. Right."

"This"

Zhu Feng couldn't help but look at Zhang Zhou.

As if to say, why did you run away if you don’t want to compete with Tang Yin?

Zhang Zhou glanced back at him, as if asking him, why did I come to the capital, you Don’t know? Please remember to bookmark it. The latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
